Yi Chen's luck was a little off this time in researching and testing the Meridian Cultivation Chart for Weapon Forging.
We took a few detours and it took us forty days to successfully develop the method.
It took a little longer than expected.
Fortunately, the Weapon Forging was finally created successfully. ✻
Unlike other cultivation techniques, Weapon Forging is more like a tool.
A tool that can activate and combine the various properties of Spirit Mine.
After a moment's thought, Yi Chen took a batch of Ice Iron and a small amount of four other types of Spirit Mine from the shelf.
The Divine Sense enveloped the Ice Iron, controlling it to float up.
With a wave of his hand.
A burst of flame roared out, engulfing the floating Ice Iron in front of them.
As Spiritual Power surged, the temperature of the flames began to rise rapidly.
500 degrees, 1000 degrees, 1500 degrees...
The impurities surrounding the Ice Iron gradually vaporize as the temperature rises.
"Just as I expected, Yi Chen's New Cultivation Method is for crafting longswords."
"Impressive! The temperature of this flame has exceeded three thousand degrees, and it's still rising. I remember that the highest temperature of the flame released by the Myriad Laws Art was only a little over one thousand degrees, right?"
Even if Yi Chen's cultivation level is higher, reaching the Spirit Sense Stage Sixth Level, and his understanding of the Fire Element Laws is deeper, his ability to unleash flames using the Myriad Laws Art should only reach a limit of two thousand degrees.
"It's over 4,000 degrees!"
"Over 5,000 degrees... I checked this Ice Iron, its melting point is over 6,000 degrees, so it doesn't seem like a problem!"
The viewers in the Live Stream Room immediately became excited.
"Just as Yi Chen said, the uses of Divine Sense are countless. Without Divine Sense, it's like having to use materials with higher melting points to first create a Smelting furnace."
"Hey, take a look at the Scanner data. This flame is a bit unusual! There's no distinction between the flame core, inner flame, and outer flame; the entire flame is at the same temperature."
"This is probably to maintain a consistent and stable flame temperature, preventing uneven heating of the Spirit Mine and resulting in different effects on different parts."
"No wonder Yi Chen spent so much time creating a technique to unleash flames. It turns out it wasn't just to significantly increase the flame temperature, but also to maintain a consistent and stable flame temperature."
" The Ice Iron has started to melt! I just don't know how Yi Chen will deal with the obvious characteristic of the Ice Iron releasing cold air."
"If this characteristic could be activated along with the Sword Qi, then we would be invincible."
"I think we might try to suppress this property using other materials. Otherwise, you'll still get frostbite from the cold if you hold it in your hand normally."
"After all, the chilling aura of this Ice Iron can affect a radius of thirty to forty centimeters. Even if you use other materials for the hilt and Sword Sheath, you'll still be affected when using it."
" Yi Chen must have been able to come up with a solution; otherwise, why would he have spent more than two months creating this New Cultivation Method?"
"Indeed, two months is not a short time, although it doesn't compare to the time spent creating the < Myriad Laws Art > and < Beast Taming Art >."
"If he weren't strong enough, Yi Chen wouldn't have wasted so much time on a single sword."
Everyone was filled with anticipation.
No one thought that the New Cultivation Method that Yi Chen had spent more than two months creating would be mediocre.
Although no one could figure out how to solve the problem of the Ice Iron leaking out cold energy, the vast majority of people firmly believed that Yi Chen's New Cultivation Method could solve it.
Inside the Weapon Forging Room, the temperature of the flames, after reaching seven thousand degrees, stopped rising and remained at that temperature without any change.
The Ice Iron began to melt rapidly in the high-temperature flame.
Various impurities continuously vaporize and disappear.
The volume has been reduced by a full third.
Yi Chen's Divine Sense began to enter the liquefied Ice Iron.
The most obvious negative characteristic of this Ice Iron is that Spiritual Power will encounter resistance when circulating within it.
In other words, if the Ice Iron is forged into Spirit Sword...
When casting the < Heaven Severing Art >, the power and casting speed of the Sword Qi will decrease because Spiritual Power Spiritual Power consumed and its speed is slowed when flowing through the Spirit Sword.
Yi Chen's first task was to burn away this most obvious negative trait.
Ice Iron is only Second Grade Spirit Mine, and its strongest negative characteristic isn't particularly strong.
Within the Qi Sea, Spiritual Power surged.
As the function was adjusted, the color of the flame began to change, from fiery red to blue.
The temperature also rose to over 8,000 degrees Celsius.
The properties of the Ice Iron that hindered the flow of Spiritual Power were continuously extracted by the flames and dissipated into the air.
Once this trait was completely resolved, Yi Chen began to extract other, less obvious, negative traits.
Of course, not all negative traits can be extracted.
Some of its negative characteristics, while not particularly strong, involve extremely high temperature requirements for the flame.
If the flame temperature exceeds the boiling point of the material, the material will also be vaporized.
Some negative characteristics are also mixed in, completely attached to the material, and cannot be separated or extracted at all.
Yi Chen could do was try to extract as many negative characteristics as possible from the material.
"What's going on?"
"It's been over an hour. Ever since the flames suddenly and strangely changed color, Yi Chen hasn't made any further moves, letting the flames continue to burn the liquid Ice Iron."
"Could it be that Yi Chen hasn't figured out the forging process yet? Is he stopping here to consider the next step?"
"What's there to consider? It's just adding other materials! You can tell from the fact that Yi Chen took five kinds of Spirit Mine at once; he's planning to forge Alloy Sword."
The viewers in the Live Stream Room started to get confused.
The Scanner couldn't detect the characteristics of the Spirit Mine, so naturally it couldn't detect that Yi Chen was using a flame with special functions to continuously peel away and extract the negative characteristics from the Ice Iron.
In the eyes of the viewers in the Live Stream Room, the Ice Iron had already liquefied, but ever since the flames changed color, Yi Chen had remained there without making any further moves.
Two hours later, the blue flames turned red again.
The temperature also dropped to just over 6,000 degrees, barely keeping the Ice Iron in a liquefied state.
Inside the Weapon Forging Room.
Yi Chen exhaled a breath of stale Turbid Qi.
Finally, we successfully extracted all the negative properties that could be extracted from the Ice Iron.
Next, we will integrate new materials.
The other four types of Spirit Mine were auxiliary materials that Yi Chen had predicted based on their characteristics.
The reason this is a prediction is that the characteristics of these four types of Spirit Mine are likely to enhance the main positive characteristics of Ice Iron, or increase other positive characteristics of the Spirit Tool.
However, this is not necessarily true; further testing and fusion are needed to determine the impact of mixing the two materials on their properties.
Each type of Spirit Mine possesses hundreds or thousands of different properties.
When the two types of Spirit Mine are melted together, these properties do not affect each other.
However, if the two kinds of Spirit Mine are refined into one, it is a completely different concept.
What Yi Chen needed to do was not to melt the two Spirit Mine together to make an alloy.
Instead, it refines the two types of Spirit Mine into one, creating a new and special Spirit Mine.
The second type of Spirit Mine, controlled by Divine Sense, was thrown into the flames and began to melt rapidly, fusing with the liquid Ice Iron.
Once the two materials were fused, as Yi Chen adjusted his technique, the flames suddenly changed from crimson to pale yellow.
As the two materials were refined by the flames, countless properties began to merge and collide.
Most of the properties do not affect each other. However, many properties begin to change and merge during the refining process.
Some changes and integrations have a positive effect, while others produce more negative characteristics.
Once the two were completely refined into one, the flame changed from pale yellow to blue, and began to refine away the negative properties within.
Then, a second type of auxiliary material, and a third type of auxiliary material were added...
