"Are you planning to develop both Ten-thousand-year Spirit Soul technology and Artificial Soul-Forged Metal?"
Zhen Hua inferred Su Ming's intentions from his words.
The technology Spirit Pagoda was currently tackling was undoubtedly Artificial Spirits. It was the most important technology of both the present and the future, because Soul Beasts on the continent were already nearing extinction.
If they could not artificially create a diverse range of Soul Beast species, the choices of Soul Spirits available to the Soul Master World would only grow fewer in the future, and it would rapidly decline instead.
The technology behind Artificial Rare Metal used damaged Artificial Spirits—failed products. And where there were failed products, there were naturally successful ones.
True Artificial Spirits could be directly elevated through the spiritual energy of the Spirit Ascension Platform. Some were infused with vast quantities of spiritual energy as soon as they were created in order to break through the upper limit of an Artificial Spirit's age.
At present, that limit was nine thousand nine hundred years.
That was right. The technology for Artificial Spirits to break through ten thousand years had yet to be developed.
Meanwhile, the forging process of Spiritual Metal could also nourish a Soul Spirit in return, allowing it to break through.
"Once Soul Forging is completed, it can nourish a Soul Spirit and help it break through."
"But theoretically speaking, only a Ten-thousand-year Spirit Soul fused into metal can directly drive that metal to achieve Soul Forging."
Zhen Hua understood. It was not that Su Ming did not know this principle, but it was not only blacksmiths who sought technological progress through research. Spirit Pagoda also needed results.
The two conflicting processes could completely make concessions to one another.
First, they would use forging techniques to nourish Soul Spirits and produce Ten-thousand-year
