The seven liquids in the furnace finally began to merge.
First came Thousand Wind Profound Gold and Void Silver - cyan and silver intertwined, turning into a blue-silver halo, slowly rotating in the furnace. The fusion of the two metals was unexpectedly smooth. The agility of Thousand Wind Profound Gold and the nothingness of Void Silver seemed to have a certain natural affinity.
Then there are Earth Mother Stone and Crimson Flame Profound Crystal - a blend of earthy yellow and red, rolling like magma. The thickness of Earth Mother Stone suppresses the violence of Crimson Flame Profound Crystal, and the heat of Crimson Flame Profound Crystal in turn softens the hardness of Earth Mother Stone. The two check and balance each other, and the fusion is more stable than the first two.
Gold-Water Mutual Harmony and Bright Dragon Iron join - gold and silver penetrate each other, Bright Dragon Iron's dominance is neutralized by Gold-Water Mutual Harmony's flexibility, and Gold-Water Mutual Harmony's fragility is compensated by the strength of Bright Dragon Iron.
Finally, Black Crimson Spirit Amber is like a drop of ink falling into clear water, slowly spreading and wrapping all the colors in it.
This is the hardest step.
The power of darkness of Black Crimson Spirit Amber is naturally opposed to the power of light of Bright Dragon Iron. A slight inadvertence will cause a violent energy conflict, causing the entire furnace of metal to be scrapped. Long Yuan's spiritual consciousness is operating at full strength, carefully separating the two forces, and guiding them to tolerate each other bit by bit.
This is not something that can be accomplished in a day or two.
Long Yuan stood in front of the furnace for a whole day and night.
In the observation room, Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan have already fallen asleep on the huge sofa. Mu Ye also went out to do some business of his own. Only Zhen Hua has been watching here.
Until now, the four people have gathered here again.
At this time, Long Yuan's hands were pressed on both sides of the furnace, and Soul Power was continuously poured into the furnace to maintain the stability of the temperature.
Finally, the alloy in the furnace takes shape.
The seven colors rotated, intertwined, and merged in the furnace, and finally turned into a deep dark gold. The dark gold was not dazzling, but had a restrained luster, like an ancient object that had been sleeping for thousands of years. It was low-key but contained amazing power.
Long Yuan opened his eyes, raised his hand, and the alloy flew out of the furnace and landed steadily on the forging table.
The dark golden metal surface is as smooth as a mirror, and you can vaguely see the lines of seven colors flowing inside, like an abstract painting.
It's not like metal, but more like something alive, lying there quietly, waiting to be given a soul.
In the observation room, Zhen Hua let out a long breath.
"Fusion Forging is done." His voice was a little hoarse.
Mu Ye chuckled, "This metal looks unusual."
Long Yuan stood in front of the forging table, looking down at the alloy, and was silent for a long time.
Then, he picked up the forging hammer.
Next, is Spirit Refinement.
Spirit Refinement gives metal spirituality. If Thousand Refinement is to remove impurities and purify essence, Fusion Forging is to integrate attributes and create new life, then Spirit Refinement is to make metal "alive".
This requires not only technology, but also a deep understanding of metals and a perception of life.
Long Yuan closed his eyes and gently pressed his right hand on the surface of the alloy. His spiritual consciousness penetrated and felt every texture and energy vein inside the alloy.
Although this alloy has just been formed, it already has its own "temperament". It inherits the characteristics of seven metals - smart, thick, hot, warm, domineering, deep, and void - these characteristics are intertwined to form a complex and unique temperament.
Long Yuan took a deep breath and hammered down.
"Dang--"
The hammer was very light, so light that the sound was almost inaudible. But the moment the hammer fell, a faint ripple appeared on the surface of the alloy, as if life was awakening.
The second hammer, the third hammer, the fourth hammer...
Long Yuan's hammering method is extremely slow, with a long time between each hammer. He seems to be listening to the sound of the alloy, waiting for it to "respond" before he drops the next hammer.
Every time the hammer falls, the light on the surface of the alloy will change slightly. Sometimes it is gold, sometimes it is silver, sometimes it is cyan, red, khaki, and black - the seven colors alternately flash, as if they are telling something.
Zhen Hua murmured, "He is... 'opening up' the alloy."
"The essence of Spirit Refinement is to make metal self-aware. But self-awareness does not appear out of thin air. It needs to be 'guided' bit by bit by the blacksmith." Zhen Hua paused, "Ordinary blacksmith Spirit Refinement relies on Soul Power to forcibly inject it and let the metal passively accept it. But he is not."
"He is waiting for the metal to 'wake up' on its own."
Another day has passed.
Long Yuan did not rest or eat. His body maintained its peak condition under the support of Bloodline Power, but his eyes became deeper, as if he had penetrated the surface of the metal and saw its essence.
When the fiftieth hammer fell, a dazzling light suddenly lit up on the surface of the alloy.
Seven colors bloomed at the same time, intertwining into a gorgeous picture in Forging Room. The light became brighter and brighter, became more and more abundant, and finally turned into a beam of light rising into the sky, penetrating the ceiling of Forging Room, and shooting straight into the sky.
In the observation room, Zhen Hua stood up suddenly.
"Spirit Refinement--It's done!"
There was unconcealable excitement in his voice.
Mu Ye also stood up, his eyes widened.
Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan subconsciously covered their mouths and looked at the piece of metal that had put countless efforts into.
The light beam lasted for a full ten seconds before slowly converging.
The alloy lies quietly on the forging table, and the surface is no longer as smooth as a mirror, but has fine lines emerging - that is "Spirit Pattern", which is a sign of the spirituality of the metal.
The lines are irregular, but there is a natural harmony, like the veins of the earth or the tracks of the starry sky.
Long Yuan put down the forging hammer, his body swayed slightly, but he quickly stabilized.
He looked down at the piece of alloy and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
In the observation room, Zhen Hua took a deep breath, sat down again, picked up the cup of tea that had already cooled down, and took a sip.
"Seven metals Thousand Refinement, seven metals Fusion Forging, and then Spirit Refinement... This kid really did it."
Mu Ye chuckled, "I just said he was a monster."
Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan finally couldn't help it and gave them a high five.
"Master is so amazing!" Xu Xiaoyan whispered.
Tang Wulin nodded vigorously. "Yes!"
Long Yuan stood in front of the forging table, looking at the alloy, and was silent for a long time.
This alloy will become the core material of "Silver Dragon" Battle Armor. Next, he will use it to forge every component of Battle Armor, then assemble, debug, and engrave Soul Guidance Core Array.
But that's all for the future.
At this moment, he just wanted to take a good look at this alloy.
It is beautiful, stunningly beautiful.
The lines of seven colors flowed on the dark golden surface, like a sleeping Silver Dragon. He stretched out his hand and gently touched the surface of the alloy, and could feel the slight tremor coming from inside it, as if it was responding to him.
"Silver Dragon..." He whispered, "When I make you Battle Armor, you will be able to make the best use of everything."
Alloy didn't answer, but Long Yuan felt it understood.
He smiled, carefully put the alloy into Storage Soul Tool, turned around and walked towards the observation room.
Opening the door, four people were there.
Zhen Hua looked at him with complicated eyes. "You succeeded."
Long Yuan nodded.
Mu Ye came over and patted him hard on the shoulder. "Good boy!"
Tang Wulin and Xu Xiaoyan shouted in unison, "Master!"
Long Yuan looked at them, the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"Let's go and eat. I'm starving."
Mu Ye laughed loudly, "It has been prepared for a long time!"
