Fusion Forging and Spirit Exorcists

Steward Ning's voice changed completely. That was a full 30,000 jin of rare metal! Not just cabbage!

Especially Black Darkstone, which has a low production volume to begin with. Allocating a thousand portions at once almost emptied the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's original inventory!

If all three thousand portions of metal were converted into Federation Credits, even without any processing, it would be enough to buy several top-grade Soul-Forged Metal items!

"What, is it difficult?" Lu Guan raised an eyebrow. "If the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is short of funds, then I'll go to Deputy Pagoda Master Leng Yaozhu of the Spirit Pagoda Tower to borrow some. I happen to be quite familiar with her."

Upon hearing the words "Spirit Pagoda," Steward Ning awake and instantly sobered up.

The young lady repeatedly warned that Lu Guan must never be allowed to side with other forces!

It's just 1,500 portions of rare metals, isn't it?

Give!

"No difficulty at all! Absolutely no difficulty!" Steward Ning forced a laugh. "Young Master Lu is joking. A mere 30,000 units of metal is nothing to our Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect! We have plenty in our warehouse!"

"That's good. I thought your sect had run into financial difficulties recently." Lu Guan nodded in satisfaction. "When can it be delivered? I need it urgently."

"It will take a little time to transfer the Black Darkstone... How about this, it will be ready before noon tomorrow!"

"Excellent! Deliver it to Heaven Dou City... Then I'll await good news from Steward Ning."

Lu Guan ended the Communicator readily, a smile on his face.

The joy of being a big spender on dog-catching is indeed boundless.

Lu Guan took out a thick-covered booklet.

This is the Saint Craftsman's Notebook that Mu Chen gave him back in Eastsea City.

This naturally includes the Fusion Forging. Lu Guan was busy cultivating before and didn't pay much attention to it, but now that he needs to make Two-Word Battle Armor, it comes in handy.

Lu Guan sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and flipped over to the middle and back sections of the bed.

The pages were covered with Mu Chen's dense annotations.

"Metals also possess temperament and life; the Spirit Forging a single metal lies in awakening and communicating with it."

"The key to Fusion Forging lies in harmony. Forcibly kneading will inevitably lead to repulsion; at best, it will result in the loss of all its spirit, and at worst, it will cause the furnace to explode and the hammer to be destroyed..."

Lu Guan stroked his chin, reading down the text word by word.

According to Mu Chen's summary, the internal structure, vein patterns, and even the activity of each metal are completely different.

If you want to combine two or three metals into one piece, the conventional approach is to find metals with similar properties and then use gentle hammering to gradually bring them together.

This is the most common method, which involves selecting the type of metal.

However, different Soul Master have different requirements for their Battle Armor, so the metals needed for Fusion Forging cannot all be of similar attributes. Some trade-offs are necessary.

But this was not within Lu Guan's consideration. You must know that he not only had the Saint Craftsman Notes, but also forging insights in the "War Lord Heart Method"!

Insights from the War Lord!

The next day at noon.

Steward Ning sent someone to deliver the metal and said that we should let him know if we needed anything!

After seeing the man off, Lu Guan headed straight for the underground forging room in the backyard of the Body Sect's headquarters.

This forging room was specially built for him by Zhen Hua. Lu Guan took a deep breath, and instead of rushing to get the forging hammer, he stood directly in front of the forging table and made a thought.

Martial Soul, War Lord Demon Body!

Dark red Baleful Qi exploded from his body, causing him to grow taller, his rib muscles to twitch, and four arms to burst forth from his body!

Six thick arms hung at his sides, vertical lines appeared on his forehead, and his Demon Eye were wide open.

His Martial Soul originally commanded all weapons in the world; with six arms Five Weapons, wielding a hammer was a piece of cake for him.

"Let's take one to test the waters first."

Lu Guan reached out with his left arm and grabbed a piece of heavy silver, a piece of strong gold, and a piece of Black Darkstone from thin air.

"Rise!"

Lu Guan's breathing rhythm switched instantly, all his muscles tensed, and his six arms worked in unison.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sound of forging continued for dozens of days without ceasing...

Luoming City.

Inside an abandoned warehouse in the west of the city.

Wang Zheng paced back and forth, rubbing his hands together incessantly, breathing heavily, his face flushed red.

He was a Five-Ring Soul King, and also a fugitive murderer.

He murdered his parents and younger brother, their cold corpses transforming into warm cultivation energy. He broke through the Soul Ancestor realm, which he had been stuck at for years, and became Soul King!

Therefore, he formally joined the Holy Spirit Cult and became a believer.

This very morning, he was given a top-secret mission by his superiors!

He was tasked with meeting a high-ranking official at this outpost west of Luoming City. After the mission was accomplished, he was to be promoted to steward and rewarded with Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone!

"We've struck it rich! This time we're really going to strike it rich!" Wang Zheng swallowed hard, his heart pounding.

Recently, there's been a lot of "Holy-Cleansing Spirit-Exorcising" going on in mainland China, and the atmosphere is very tense.

But it is precisely at times like these that the best opportunities to make contributions and climb the ranks are!

Once he pulls off this job, he'll no longer be cannon fodder at the bottom; he can move up a level!

creak--

The rusty iron door of the warehouse was suddenly pushed open from the outside.

The blinding sunlight streamed in, and several figures stood backlit in the doorway.

Wang Zheng shuddered, quickly composed himself, and strode forward to greet her, whispering the code.

"Holy Light Illumination, all spirits return to their origin! Are you an official sent from above?"

In the shadows by the entrance, Qiangu Zhangting stood with his hands behind his back, dressed in a neat Spirit Pagoda uniform, followed by four Spirit Pagoda elites with imposing auras.

Looking at Wang Zheng, whose face was full of fervor, Qiangu Zhangting smiled gently, raised his right hand, and slowly clenched his fist.

"Take him down, but leave him alive."

Wang Zheng's mind went blank, and the ecstasy on his face instantly froze.

There's a traitor?!

Before he could release his Martial Soul, two elite members of the Spirit Pagoda had already closed in, their powerful Soul Emperor -level pressure crashing down on him, and their specially made Soul-Sealing Handcuffs locking his collarbones!

"Ah--!"

Wang Zheng screamed as he was pinned to the muddy ground, completely stunned.

This base is clearly top secret; even he only received the address this morning. How could the Spirit Pagoda possibly have found it so precisely?!

Qiangu Zhangting walked forward slowly and deliberately, looking down at Wang Zheng from his elevated position.

Not long ago, by sheer coincidence, he noticed something was off about this person; it was his sixth sense!

In recent days, relying on his "sixth sense," he has arrested three members of the Holy Spirit Cult in succession!

This time was no exception; as expected, there were more finds!

Because of this, the outside world called him a hero and Spirit Exorcist!

Qiangu Zhangting also believed that this must be the guidance of the upright and unyielding Coiling Dragon Staff for him!

This is the Coiling Dragon Staff, Qiangu Family heirloom passed down through generations!

"Another big fish."

Qiangu Zhangting turned around and gave instructions to his subordinates behind him.

"Send a signal to notify the Federation, the City Defense Army, and reporters. Luoming City has captured another Evil Soul Master!"

Mingdu, the underground forging room of the Body Sect.

Boom--!

A blinding golden-red beam of light shot into the sky from the forging platform, crashing into the metal dome of the basement!

The violent shockwave exploded in a ring, blowing the piles of scrap metal on the ground into all directions.

Lu Guan was shirtless and panting heavily.

On the forging table in front of him, a piece of metal the size of a palm floated silently.

The silver, dark gold, and jet black colors blend perfectly, with a strange dark red pattern flowing across the surface, and a thumping sound like a heartbeat emanating from within!

The Fusion Forging is complete! The Spirit Forging is now mastered!

Spirit Forging Alloy!
