The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's Reaction
One step ahead leads to continuous progress.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has gathered enough talented individuals; the next step is to invest resources to help them master the Thousand Forgings with Spirit as soon as possible.
Ning Yuan weighed the pros and cons in his mind, cupped his hands in greeting to Chen Xin, and then left the room where Chen Xin was meditating.
He summoned the Blacksmith of the Seven Treasures faction.
"How well have you persuaded your Soul Spirit?"
The key step in Spirit Infusion requires the cooperation of the Soul Spirit. If one cannot control their own Soul Spirit, then no matter how well prepared one is, it will be in vain. Ning Yuan remembered the key point that Su Ming had told him before.
"That's about it, Steward Ning. When can we learn the Spirit Infusion Technique?"
"Yes, they showed us Spiritual Metal is indeed a revolutionary product. The association has also reformed, aiming to promote Forging techniques. So why haven't they taught us how to do it yet?"
"..."
Ning Yuan frowned as he looked at the group of people who were already quite disgruntled.
"Quiet!"
With a serious expression, he instructed everyone, "The association has clear regulations: those who meet the standards of former Master Level blacksmiths can directly submit an application to the association to learn the Spirit Infusion technique, and even the subsequent Thousand Forgings with Spirit."
He had to correct the views of the people in front of him.
Those who came from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, whether they originally belonged to the Blacksmith Association or were recruited by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, all seem to be carrying a restless mentality.
Not only are they impetuous, but most of them haven't even figured out their place.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect doesn't represent anything, nor is it superior to others. The school and the Blacksmith Association have a cooperative relationship, not a superior-subordinate relationship.
Ning Yuan felt it was necessary to correct these people's views.
"But the guild leader clearly stated that the technique of 'Thousand Forgings with Spirit ' is no different from the technique of 'Thousand Forgings with Spirit' for Ordinary Metal. Theoretically, if Ordinary Metal can Thousand Forgings, then they can be forged with 'Thousand Forgings with Spirit Forging with Spirit'!"
Ning Yuan narrowed his eyes as he listened to the words of one of his disciples.
He recognized this disciple; he was an elite from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect named Ning Tianya. His Martial Soul was the Exploding Gold Bear, a power-type Beast Martial Soul. Moreover, he had an affinity for metal, which was why the sect chose him to come to the Blacksmith Association to learn Forging.
Ning Tianya possesses Innate Soul Power at level seven and is sixteen years old this year. He just obtained his Soul Spirit two months ago and fused with his Third Soul Ring, and is now at the Soul Elder realm.
Do you have Thousand Forgings?
Ning Yuan's question left Ning Tianya speechless.
He had just mastered the art of Hundred Forgings.
He mastered the Hundred Forgings within a year, demonstrating his considerable talent in the Forging.
"But since Thousand Forgings with Spirit and Thousand Forgings are at the same level, why don't I just start learning from Hundred Forgings and go straight to Thousand Forgings with Spirit?"
Ning Yuan sneered.
"I bet the rest of you share the same thoughts as him, right?"
He looked around and found that many people actually dared to nod directly.
"Let me tell you, anyone who starts learning Thousand Forgings with Spirit will damage their Soul Spirit and spirit by practicing once a day. You will have to recover from the damage every day before you can try again. Your Soul Power cultivation will inevitably be affected. You'll be lucky if you don't progress. You might even drop in cultivation level. Do you still want to practice directly?" Ning Yuan shouted.
Ning Yuan's tone startled the group of disciples in front of him.
Will practicing the Thousand Forgings with Spirit affect cultivation?
Ning Tianya's expression changed slightly.
This is something he cannot accept.
"Even if you master the Thousand Forgings of Ordinary Metal, it would still take at least a year to learn the Thousand Forgings with Spirit. If you directly learn the Thousand Forgings with Spirit, it would be a matter of talent if you could achieve results in five or six years. You can decide for yourselves."
Ning Yuan wasn't just trying to scare a group of children.
This was the true information he obtained from Su Ming.
Duan Jin had spent the previous year practicing Thousand Forgings with Spirit. Because of Zhu Jiuyang's one-on-one instruction, he was able to master Thousand Forgings with Spirit within a year. However, the others were not disciples of Zhu Jiuyang or Su Ming.
The association may share the techniques, but the rest of the practice is up to you to figure out on your own.
How many practice sessions are needed for this?
Every practice session is an injury to the Soul Spirit, since the Soul Spirit must part its Spirituality to be integrated into the Forging, and failure means a loss of the Soul Spirit.
Losing once or twice is fine, but if it happens too many times, you have to appease the frightened Soul Spirit to ensure that it will cooperate fully in the subsequent Forging.
Each step in this process could potentially render all their previous efforts futile.
This is why Ning Yuan's first question was about the communication between his disciples and the Soul Spirit.
In front of Ning Yuan, the disciples of the Seven Treasures faction all ceased their fighting.
No, no one told them beforehand that practicing this Forging would affect their Soul Power cultivation.
"The Thousand Forgings of Ordinary Metal are for you to accumulate experience. Once you master the Thousand Forgings of all Ordinary Metal and can fuse two Ordinary Metal to create Thousand Forgings alloy, you can try to cultivate the Thousand Forgings with Spirit."
Ning Yuan's tone softened, and he began to reassure the disciples.
Seeing his disciples' somewhat hesitant attitude, he knew that after a beating, he had to offer a reward. He said to them, "The learning process of Thousand Forgings with Spirit will affect your Soul Power cultivation, but once you master this technique, your Soul Spirit will be enhanced every time you Thousand Forgings with Spirit, and the Soul Master will also benefit from it, receiving a boost to their Soul Power cultivation."
"Really?" Ning Tianya asked in surprise.
"This is true. It was personally acknowledged by Su Ming, who pioneered the Blacksmith system. The Soul Spirit imbues a portion of its Spirituality into the metal. As the metal grows, some of that Spirituality will eventually return to the Soul Spirit. This return of Spirituality is greater than what was given."
Ning Tianya's expression changed slightly.
He's lost his earlier arrogance.
He now understood one thing: learning Forging was an adventure.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Yuan is known for his steady and methodical approach to things.
Ning Fengzhi made this assessment after receiving news of the recent changes in Gengxin City.
"Fengzhi, you guys are just too cautious. If you ask me, with the capabilities of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, taking over the entire Blacksmith Association wouldn't be a problem," Gu Rong said.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi could only shake his head helplessly.
"Uncle Bone, reputation and image are the foundation of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School."
Sects may engage in dirty deeds in secret, but they must never do so openly.
To put it bluntly, the leaders of this sect are a group of Support System Soul Master, not Power Attack System Soul Master like those of the Clear Sky Sect. Moreover, they are Power Attack System Soul Master who have inherited the Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul, the number one weapon spirit in the world.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect School must be tolerant of others, persuade people with reason, and generate wealth through harmony.
Once the atmosphere goes astray, the entire sect will not be far from destruction.
These thoughts flashed through Ning Fengzhi's mind helplessly, but he couldn't bring himself to explain to Gu Rong.
This is a truth that only their direct descendants need to understand.
This is a lesson that their direct descendants must understand.
"A quick start leads to continuous progress. Within a year, we secured a significant portion of the Blacksmith Association's procurement, acquired all the geniuses, and are ready to directly learn their techniques. Cultivating Forging Master will be the fastest approach. Furthermore—"
Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes slightly as he said this.
"Furthermore, we were the first to learn about the effects of Su Ming's hidden Soul Spirit; even if it's only for a year, it could potentially separate an entire era."
