With a steady supply of Spiritual Power replenishing him, Lin Yi no longer had to worry about running short.
So for his first Spirit Artifact today, he wanted to challenge himself by forging a metal saber of standard dimensions.
After collecting two large chunks of green quality ore from Gu Yuan, Lin Yi began hammering away in front of the furnace.
Besides learning forging techniques from Gu Yuan, Lin Yi also searched for weapon-forging methods in the real world.
As a result, Lin Yi's smelting, forging, and quenching skills all improved rapidly.
Clang! Clang!
The massive hammer repeatedly struck the smelted ore. With his extremely high Strength attribute, the impurities were soon worked out of it.
About an hour later, Lin Yi had forged a long Tang Mo Saber.
The Tang Mo Saber was a heavy saber used by cavalry during the Tang dynasty. It required two hands to wield and delivered tremendously powerful cleaving blows.
Gu Yuan had never seen this kind of saber before and could not help asking, "Who's going to be able to use a weapon like this, lad?"
"Hehe, I just couldn't resist trying. If no one can use it, I'll cover the materials myself. I promise the village won't lose out."
With that, Lin Yi began nurturing the Tang Mo Saber with Spiritual Power.
Since he had painstakingly crafted it himself, Lin Yi knew its overall material composition and every detail of its forging extremely well, which made nurturing it with Spiritual Power very quick.
With the three Source Stones supplying him continuously, the white antlers on Lin Yi's head glowed faintly as vast amounts of Spiritual Power poured into the Tang Mo Saber's blade.
After just under an hour of this, the Tang Mo Saber finally acquired the properties of a Spirit Artifact.
