Inside the Pill Tower's forging chamber.
If an outsider had been present, they would have been utterly stunned by the lineup gathered here.
There were not many people in the forging chamber, only seven in total: Xiao Yan, young master of Starfall Pavilion; the Pill Tower's three great heads; Tang Zhen, Valley Master of Burning Flame Valley; Yuan Chen, the Pill Tower's greatest alchemist below the ninth tier; and Haika, the Pill Tower's chief forger. Including Yuan Chen's accompanying Fire-Headed Owl, there were eight Dou Zun-level combatants altogether.
Haika looked at the experts before him, yet still found them insufficient. "Even with everyone working together, it's only barely adequate. We should be able to reach the temperature required for forging."
Everyone here had been invited by Xiao Yan to help forge the Heavy Profound Ruler, one capable of bearing Heavenly Flames and remaining intact even when he reached the Dou Sheng level. The greatest problem was this: how could those metals be softened enough to forge?
The metals Xiao Yan had gathered were no ordinary materials. In the end, he had come up with a solution: fusing multiple flames.
Using his Red Lotus Core Flame as the core and the flames of the other five as support, with the full cooperation of six Dou Zun experts, they would melt more than ten kinds of metals, including Flame-Fusing Steel.
Xiao Yan was the first to cup his fists toward the six of them. "For today's matter, Xiao Yan thanks you all for your generous support. Whether this succeeds or fails, I will repay this favor someday!"
The Pill Tower's three great heads merely smiled and nodded. Xiao Yan's ability to curb the terrifying momentum of the Spirit Clan had already been an immense help to them.
