Since the beginning of the forging process, the King of Junk had been extremely tense. He was personally in charge of every step of the process and could not afford to make any mistakes. ``
Lin Yi, on the other hand, wasn't idling around. It was a rare opportunity to observe the entire process from such a close distance, and in just a short seven days, he'd already learned quite a bit from the King of Garbage's teachings.
In these seven days, there were no deviations in the crafting process. Everything was going according to the script that the King of Junk had planned beforehand. The anxiety in his heart slowly faded away, and he started to feel more at ease. He was glad that he hadn't found the wrong person.
Everything was difficult at the beginning. Since they had passed the most important beginning stage, the forging process was already half a success. Lin Yi thought that everything would go smoothly. However, on the eighth day, everything came to an abrupt end.
"That … that's it?" Looking at the gradually calming casting pool, Lin Yi was dumbfounded. This was completely different from the plan that the King of Junk had told him about.
At this moment, even the King of Junk himself was going crazy. Although he could not accurately predict how long the forging process would take, it was only the eighth day!
According to the experience of many blacksmiths, the more powerful a divine weapon was, the longer the forging process would take. As long as a divine weapon was of a slightly higher grade, it was normal for it to take several months or even several years. But this time, the forging process had used extremely rare materials like the 10,000-year-old Tree Crystal and the Ancient Sacred Soil. No matter what, it couldn't be weaker than other weapons, right?
However, it was an indisputable fact that the casting pool had calmed down! Normally, such a situation would only occur when the final weapon was formed.
However, it was only the eighth day. Looking at the lump in the Forging Pool, even a ghost wouldn't believe that it was a fully formed Godly Weapon!
"What should we do now?" Lin Yi's mouth twitched. He turned to look at the King of Junk. "This thing … Should I use it to smash people?"
"Impossible! Impossible! Impossible! The Tattered King hammered his head as he paced back and forth around the Forging Pool, mumbling to himself.
Lin Yi couldn't help but worry that the guy might just fall into the foundry when he saw how crazy he was. That would really kill him.
Lin Yi, on the other hand, found it inconceivable as well- the whole plan was thought up by the King of Garbage alone, but he'd analyzed and discussed it with Lin Yi in detail during the process- to ensure the success rate of the forging, he'd done a lot of preparation beforehand.
Lin Yi had specially gone to the Far North Island to bid for those high-level casting materials. There was only one ultimate use for it, and that was to ensure the stability and success rate of the crafting process. This was one of the reasons why the Crappy King asked Lin Yi to take out a couple of Sky class weapons he didn't use and put them into the crafting process.
Who would have thought that even after making such thorough preparations, it would still end up like this?
"This …" Lin Huang asked. "This …" The King of the King of the Tatters. "We failed."
At this moment, the King of Junk squatted down. He stuck his face to the edge of the casting pool, which really shocked Lin Yi. "Is this guy really going to take things too hard? Although the casting pool has calmed down, the temperature is still shockingly high. However, the temperature was frighteningly high. Even a Foundation Establishment expert would not be able to endure it.
Just when Lin Yi was about to stop him, the King of Junk's eyes suddenly lit up. "No, no, I know the reason. We haven't failed yet! "
"Haven't failed yet?" Lin Yi was stunned.
"Yes! We haven't failed yet. To be precise, we haven't completely failed yet! "The King of Junk instantly became a hundred times more energetic. Pointing at the casting pool, he explained to Lin Yi, "You'll know if you look closely. This pool has not completely cooled down, and the God Weapon has not been completely shaped. It seems that if we don't find a way to solve the problem, it will remain in this lukewarm state. We still have a way to fix it."
Hearing this, Lin Yi could not help but feel refreshed. After observing for a while, he confirmed that the God Weapon was still changing at a speed that was hard to be seen by the naked eye. He immediately asked, "What problem should we solve?"
"Solve the conflict between the attributes of the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Crystal and the Ancient Pure Land!" The King of Junk said with certainty, "Brother Lin, I've told you before that the most basic requirement for casting is that the attributes of all the casting materials must be compatible. Even if they are incompatible, we must find a way to neutralize them with other auxiliary materials. This is the problem we're facing now."
"How could it be? The Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Crystal is of the wood attribute, and the Ancient Pure Land is of the earth attribute. How could there be a conflict between the two? "Lin Yi asked curiously. It was common sense that wood and earth were mutually reinforcing.
The King of Junk shook his head and said, "You're wrong. These two materials are too rare. It's difficult to understand their specific origins, so we've all made a mistake on this most basic question. The Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Crystal is of the wood attribute, but the Ancient Pure Land is not of the pure earth attribute!"
"If it's not of the earth attribute, then what is it?" Lin Yi was puzzled. Even if he did not understand its origin, how could the standard soil of the Ancient Pure Land be of any other attribute?
"I've read about the Ancient Pure Land in my master's notes. Although its attributes were not clearly mentioned, it was mentioned that the Ancient Pure Land usually only appears in the craters of ancient volcanoes!" The King of Junk said excitedly, "Now you understand. Although the Ancient Pure Land has the earth attribute, it also has the fire attribute. Therefore, to a certain extent, there is a conflict between the attributes of the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Crystal and the wood attribute of the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Crystal!"
Only then did Lin Yi understand. He nodded and said, "No wonder such a strange situation occurred. Under normal circumstances, if it was a simple conflict of attributes, it would have completely failed by now. It turns out that the Ancient Pure Land's earth and fire attributes are both conflicting and compatible with the wood attribute of the Ten-Thousand-Year Tree Crystal."
"That's right. Fortunately, my mistake wasn't too fatal. Otherwise, I wouldn't even have a chance to remedy it, and I would be even more ashamed to face you, Brother Lin." The King of Junk said awkwardly.
