649 – Spirit Forging


    At this moment, hearing Lan Xuanyu mention this topic, Tang Le couldn’t help but wonder if he should really find a girlfriend. He probably wasn’t young anymore. Even if he was only 20 years old when Le Qingling saved him, after so many years, he should be in his thirties.


    “Let me see your forging.” Mr Le smiled.


    “Alright!” Lan Xuanyu agreed and brought Mr Le to his own meditation room. A corner of the meditation room had been transformed into a forging room because only this ce had soundproofing equipment and wouldn’t affect others. Also, the energy in the meditation room was the most abundant.


    Lan Xuanyu hadpleted this modification two years ago to save some time on the road.


    Hence, his meditation room was no longer as tidy as before and was in a mess.


    He skillfully calcined the metal through the forging table and took out his forging hammer. He then took out a piece of rare metal and began forging.


    Lan Xuanyu’s forging was very stable, and every strike was strong and stable. He didn’t waste a single bit of power and used it all on the metal he was forging.


    The rare metal gradually shrunk under his hammer and he only needed a few minutes toplete the Hundred Refinements.


    His forging speed wasn’t particrly fast, but it was extremely stable. When hepleted the Thousand Refinements, a light that was over three meters tall soared into the sky. Mr Le couldn’t help but nod his head.


    Lan Xuanyu’s forging method had the highest sess rate because he was extremely focused with every strike. His strong spiritual power was the reason for his high sess rate. His control over his own strength was always perfect.


    In the subsequent forging, Lan Xuanyu became even more serious. He released his aura and his bloodline fluctuations became stronger. With every strike, a faint dragon roar would be released from his body, shaking everything around him.


    His bloodline aura continued to seep into the metal during the forging process, causing the metallic nging sounds to gradually change.


    A rhythmic rhythm began to appear as Lan Xuanyu performed the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer technique on a smaller range. Forging wasn’t about having greater strength, but the more suitable strength, the better.


    Mr Le had once taught him that during the forging process, he had to listen to the sound of the metal. This sound would tell him what the metal wanted. He had toprehend the changes produced by the metal in the forging process. When a cksmith could trulymunicate with the metal, the metal would be given life.


    Thousand Refinements Soul Forging was just the beginning. Spirit Forging created life, and it was a more profound kind of forging.


    The reason why the sess rate of Spirit Forging was so low was because during the process of forging, the metal would truly feel alive and was no longer an inanimate object. And Soul Forging relied more on spiritual power, using spiritual power to guide the forging and then the metal to gain some intelligence.


    When one reached an even higher level, Divine Forging, everything would again be different. Every piece of Divine Forged metal was aplete life form.


    Mr Le had told Lan Xuanyu thest time he was here that when he was able toplete Spirit Forging perfectly, breaking through to Soul Forging wouldn’t be difficult because his spiritual power was extremely strong and had a very strong foundation.


    After a year, Lan Xuanyu’s sess rate for Spirit Forging was already very high. This time, Mr Le came to see if he could try Soul Forging again.


    Spirit Forged metals were the best material for Two-Word Battle Armors in theory. It could also be used to make Three-Word Battle Armors, and Soul Forged metals could be used to make Four-Word Battle Armors. They were also the most optimum metal for Three-Word Battle Armors.


    A cksmith that couldplete Soul Refinement would be a grandmaster in the world of forging, and a cksmith that couldplete Divine Refinement was a Divine Craftsman.


    The Battle Armors that could truly be crafted were actually still Four-Word Battle Armors as of now. As for Five-Word Battle Armors or even the legendary Six-Word Battle Armors, it was no longer a problem of making them, but bing a part of a soul master’s body required the nourishment of one’s Divine Sense and divine power to evolve and not make them. Only gods could nurture them.


    Mr Le stood at the side and looked at Lan Xuanyu’s forging, a smile appearing on his face from time to time. Not only was Lan Xuanyu talented, but he had also found his own forging rhythm. And his forging rhythm was different from Mr Le’s.


    Mr Le’s forging speed was fast. Of course, in his realm of forging, it was no longer ordinary speed. It was all-epassing and could bepleted in the shortest time possible.


    On the other hand, Lan Xuanyu had chosen a steady path! Every strike seemed to have gone through careful consideration. It wasn’t fast, but it had its own rhythm. With such a steady rhythm, his forging sess rate would increase greatly. He kept giving himself more time to think and feel the changes in the metal.


    This way, his forging speed might be slower, but his growth would be much faster.


    In fact, Lan Xuanyu was almost 12 years old when he started learning forging and it wasn’t considered early. He was able to reach this level in just a few years, and it was rted to his talent and Mr Le’s guidance, but it was also more importantly because he had found the right method. After all, Mr Le didn’te often, unlike Nana who guided his cultivation once a month.


    Usually, Lan Xuanyu would only see Mr Le once a year and he would give him enough guidance until next time. But in the following year, he would have to rely on himself to explore.


    A faint spiritual light gradually appeared, and Lan Xuanyu’s speed became slower, but the strength of each hammer was increasing. The faint aura of the Dragon God bloodline surrounded his body and fluctuated. It faintly drilled into the metal and quietly changed the state of the metal.


    The metal began to emit a faint buzzing sound as though something was about to awaken inside.


    At this moment, Lan Xuanyu’s condition was already at its peak. His sess rate for Spirit Forging was already very high. He had just broken through to four-ring recently and his soul, spiritual, and bloodline powers had all improved, allowing his control over forging to be stronger.


    Furthermore, he was forging in front of Mr Le!


    Finally, the hammer fell and the forging hammer bounced up high. The metal in front of him suddenly released a dragon roar, and the low dragon roar gradually became louder. The surface of the metal emitted a strong light. A small golden dragon was faintly discernible as it circled around it, emitting a faint halo.


    Sess ! Spirit Forging Life Creation ! From this moment on, this piece of metal already had its own life, and it was filled with Lan Xuanyu’s bloodline aura.


    A piece of Spirit Forged metal like this could be sold for a purple emblem in the Exchange Center, and there were more offers than supplies.


    Hence, ever since Lan Xuanyu became aplished in forging, he nevercked emblems, even after giving so many emblems to his teacher for creating the Sky Wing Mechas for him and his six partners.


    At that time, what he gave Tang Zhenhua wasn’t enough, and he had to make up for it a few more times before he couldplete the manufacturing of the Sky Wing mechas. Although it was only a purple mecha, he sought perfection and waspletely customized for everyone.


    Mr Le smiled and said, “Very good. Your Spirit Forging is done and you can be considered a rank 6 cksmith. Your sess rate is very high and the quality is excellent.”


    To be able to get Mr Le to say that the quality of the forging was excellent, it was truly excellent. Lan Xuanyu immediately asked excitedly, “Uncle Le, then can I begin attempting Soul Forging?”


    Spirit Forging was a piece of metal that could be sold for a purple emblem, but what if it was Soul Forged? That was a whole different level, and it wasn’t impossible to earn ck emblems in the future! He heard that there were many Soul Bones that could be exchanged in the Inner Court’s Exchange Center. Those were left behind by generations of Shrek ancestors. Different from soul rings that would disappear with the death of a soul master, Soul Bones wouldn’t. They could be left behind, and this was also the reason why they were so expensive. Also, even after countless research by the Spirit Pagoda, they were still unable to develop man-made Soul Bones. All of the Soul Bones were definitely produced by powerful soul beasts.
