Iron "Sandbag"
"Young Master, if we put a thousand kilograms on it, it will fill the entire area of Anvil, and our steam forging machine will not be able to operate properly."
Moreover, these iron blocks haven't been softened by flame, making them very inconvenient to forge.
Blacksmith Yuan was puzzled by Quan Yue's behavior.
The giant Anvil in the center is designed to work in conjunction with a large cylindrical Iron Hammer suspended from the ceiling.
Steam Forging Hammer.
This is the groundbreaking product that Quan Yi created step by step using his limited common sense and countless experiments.
The creation of the Steam Engine was actually a natural progression.
Because there is no river flowing through the Yuan Family Blacksmith Shop, they cannot use water-powered forging machines like the other Blacksmith Shop in the Quan Family to save manpower and time.
In addition, with more than half of their Blacksmith being transferred away, the shortage of manpower meant that they had to spend more time forging and Purification materials.
Feeling somewhat inconvenienced, Quan Yi and Blacksmith Yuan began to develop a machine that could automatically hammer using the kinetic energy of steam.
With it, they could easily forge large objects in a small Blacksmith Shop with only a few people.
From then on, everyone in the Blacksmith Shop regarded the Quan Yi divine being.
However, Quan Yi isn't here today to use Steam Forging Hammer to manufacture tools.
Quan Yi smiled calmly and said, "Blacksmith Yuan, I'm not here to forge anything today. As for what I'm going to do, you'll soon find out."
Quan Yi kept everyone in suspense.
Soon, the Blacksmith had neatly stacked the iron blocks.
A towering mountain of iron was neatly stacked atop a large Anvil.
Fortunately, during this period, they happened to import a large number of brand-new iron blocks in order to manufacture some kind of tool.
Otherwise, they might not have been able to gather a thousand kilograms of iron.
With the Steam Forging Hammer, their efficiency was greatly improved. As long as they bought iron blocks, they could turn them all into high-quality Refined Iron in less than a day.
"You should step back a bit, preferably behind me, as there might be some danger later."
After Quan Yi finished speaking, he strode towards Tieshan.
Everyone consciously stepped back, holding their Concentration and watching Quan Yi's back intently.
Quan Yi was the tallest and strongest among the Blacksmith, but he was still slightly inadequate when faced with a 1,000-kilogram iron block.
These Purification iron blocks are much larger in volume than Iron Essence of the same weight.
Quan Yi looked up at 'Iron Mountain' and summoned the Blazing Sun Gauntlets in his hand.
Quan Yi placed his palm against the iron block, and the crimson patterns on the Blazing Sun Gauntlets lit up.
And so, Quan Yi remained in that position for ten minutes.
Just as everyone was getting bored, the sharp-eyed Blacksmith Yuan let out a surprised shout.
"The iron block has turned red!"
The other Blacksmith, upon hearing the sound, quickly took a closer look.
"It's turned red! It's turned red!"
In just a few breaths, the black iron mountain gradually turned red.
It appears to have been scorched by a fire.
"Is Young Master using the power of his Martial Soul to directly heat the iron block?"
A Blacksmith asked in surprise.
Most Blacksmith rarely see Quan Yi use his Martial Soul spirit, so it's perfectly normal for them to have this question.
At this moment, Blacksmith Yuan, who had some knowledge of Quan Yi, spoke up and replied, "That's right, the Young Master's Martial Soul is a rare Fire-attribute Martial Soul, making it incredibly easy to soften iron blocks."
"However, didn't you notice? Young Master, the heating started directly from the inside of the iron block; the color change occurred from the inside out."
"What!"
Everyone was immediately shocked.
As if responding to everyone, Quan Yi immediately removed his palm once the surface turned red from the heat.
"Hmm, that's about it."
Seeing the quality, Quan Yi nodded in satisfaction.
That's right, just now, Quan Yi used his fire control ability to heat the iron block from the inside.
The purpose of this is not only to keep the bottom Anvil cold and hard, but also to allow the iron blocks to fuse together under high temperature and pressure.
Although it is not obvious from the outside, the iron blocks have already begun to merge together.
Seeing that the time was almost right, Quan Yi stretched his body, and then, to everyone's surprise, he swung his right arm hard and smacked the red-hot iron block.
"Clang!"
In an instant, countless sparks flew from the point of impact, just like Blacksmith hammering an Iron Hammer block.
However, the number and extent of sparks could not possibly be produced by Blacksmith using Iron Hammer.
They could only see such dazzling 'fireworks' when using Steam Forging Hammer.
But now, it is one person who has set off the 'fireworks'.
Is this really the kind of power that a human can exert?
Fortunately, the Anvil below was a special product designed to withstand the Steam Forging Hammer; otherwise, it might not have been able to withstand such force.
"Clang!"
Quan Yi's next strike, less than a second later, slammed into the iron mountain again.
However, Quan Yi's expression darkened slightly, showing his dissatisfaction with the attack just now.
Because his second strike failed to make perfect use of the recoil from the first strike.
Quan Yi immediately stopped pounding.
With just two punches, Quan Yi slammed Quan Yi fist-deep mark into Tieshan.
Although both punches landed accurately on the same spot, Quan Yi couldn't recreate the perfect, coordinated feeling he had before.
Quan Yi shifted his steps and moved in the opposite direction.
He swung his fist again and slammed it down hard.
"Clang! Clang!"
After two more heavy blows, Quan Yi immediately shifted his position.
Quan Yi's large hands, like Forging Hammer, pounded the four sides of the iron mountain in a certain order.
"Young Master is forging something."
Now everyone finally knows what Quan Yi is up to.
"But why use this method when there's Steam Forging Hammer?"
Another Blacksmith raised the question again.
Blacksmith Yuan watched Quan Yi's exaggerated shoulder rotation and the hammer blows that were each heavier than the first, he had some thoughts in his mind.
After a moment, he exclaimed, "Chaos Cloak Hammer Technique! Young Master's movements are just like the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer!"
The young Blacksmith standing nearby asked, "Lord Yuan, what is the Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer?"
Blacksmith Yuan explained, "The Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer is the strongest continuous forging technique among forging arts. It allows the Blacksmith to perfectly utilize his strength by striking continuously and Borrowing Strength."
It is the most powerful forging technique capable of removing impurities from metal.
"The most powerful forging technique? Is this Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer even more powerful than Steam Forging Hammer?"
The young Blacksmith questioned this Disorder Splitting Wind Hammer.
"Uh." Blacksmith Yuan was about to retort to the young Blacksmith, but the next moment, he was speechless.
He had witnessed firsthand the power of the Steam Forging Hammer.
Its advantage is that it can strike the same point of impact with the same force.
At the same time, its force can increase as the weight of the Heavy Hammer.
In other words, from the very beginning, it can use the force that others accumulate over eighty-one hammer blows to forge Pig Iron.
Users can easily refine metals that others painstakingly Purification by simply turning the forged iron block.
