Shen Luo looked at Elder Man Jie, only to see him staring at his furnace intently. He was completely immersed in it and was not disturbed by Hou Shan at all.
At this moment, he had sent the Lingxiao Copper and the Light Stone into the furnace. He was controlling the flames to form three rings, surrounding the two materials in the center, trying to smelt them together.
The temperature of the three flame rings was different. They cycled and rotated around the two spiritual materials. Through the alternating flames from time to time, the two materials were fused at different levels.
Shen Luo had seen this kind of fusion method in the Book of Heavenly Secrets before. It was called Bite Fusion, and it was a very difficult fusion method. It was more complicated than pure fusion and mixing, but it could allow the advantages of the two spirit materials to be preserved better, and the armor refined from it would also have better quality characteristics.
For example, the Soaring Sky Copper had excellent ductility, but it was not tough enough. If it was simply fused, the spiritual material formed could indeed increase its toughness while maintaining its ductility, but the combined effect was only equivalent to another spiritual material of a higher grade, the Vast Sea Gold.
But if it was forged with bite smelting method, the two spiritual materials would appear to bite each other, and its ductility and toughness would be better than the Vast Sea Gold.
On the side, when Hou Shan saw that Elder Man Jie had mastered the bite smelting method, a touch of jealousy appeared in his eyes, and his eyebrows drooped slightly.
In this point alone, he was already inferior to Elder Man Jie.
At this time, he also put away his contempt for Elder Man Jie and began to focus on refining the armor.
As time went by, the main metal material in the Gold-Consuming Furnace was completely refined and turned into a liquid state. It was suspended in the furnace room by spiritual power.
After a while, the molten liquid began to emit wisps of smoke. It was a sign that the impurities contained inside were separated, which meant that the purity of the spiritual material was constantly increasing.
Shen Luo looked at his movements, and the voice of the Fire Spirit suddenly sounded in his sea of consciousness, "If this situation continues, Elder Man Jie will probably lose."
In his hand hidden in his sleeve, he was holding the Xiaoyao Mirror.
Above the mirror, there were watery clouds lingering around it. It reflected the Dark Fire Cauldron with the Fire Spirit inside.
"This is only the smelting stage, and you can already see the results?" Shen Luo's expression didn't change in the slightest. He only used his mind to communicate and asked.
"That Elder Man Jie's method is good, but the cauldron he uses is too ordinary. It causes the temperature of the cauldron to not be high enough to melt the spirit materials to a perfect state. On the other hand, Hou Shan is different. The spiritual materials he smelts can reach the Flawless level, which is better than Barbarians, "Fire Spirit said.
"Just the difference in the purity of the spirit materials isn't enough to determine the victor, right? Moreover, the method of biting and smelting is obviously better, "Shen Luo said with some hesitation.
"That's not it. Although Hou Shan's smelting method is ordinary, because he is refining an offensive item, it doesn't have high requirements for ductility. It has more requirements for firmness, so he doesn't need to guarantee more ductility. It's also because of this reason that I dare to conclude that the type of weapon he will refine must be something like a short dagger or a short awl. Do you believe it or not? "Fire Spirit said confidently.
Shen Luo didn't speak, but he saw that Hou Shan had already begun to add auxiliary materials into the cauldron.
As several auxiliary materials flew into the cauldron and fused with the main material one by one, the temperature in the cauldron began to drop gradually.
At this time, Hou Shan's hands began to dance in the void. The spiritual material liquid in the cauldron began to solidify as the temperature dropped. Little by little, the true shape of the Crescent Armor was revealed. Just as Fire Spirit said, it was a short awl with three edges.
"It's quite difficult to refine the prototype of the Crescent Armor in such a short time. As long as there are no problems with the engravings later, he will definitely win," Fire Spirit said.
When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
If Hou Shan really won this round, then Che Qingtian and the others would have won two rounds in a row and directly won.
He couldn't help but look at Elder Man Jie worriedly.
Compared to Hou Shan, his speed was much slower. Until now, he hadn't refined all the spiritual materials and was still adding spiritual materials into the cauldron.
Almost everyone could see that he didn't have enough firepower. If he was one step slower, he would always be slower.
But at this moment, he suddenly selected a very inconspicuous piece of Fire Flint from among the numerous spiritual materials, and out of everyone's expectations, he sent it into the furnace with his magic power.
"Even if we add in the Fire Flint now, I'm afraid it won't be of any use. What is this Barbarian trying to do?"
This thing was usually used as an auxiliary material to increase the temperature of the cauldron to a certain extent. However, adding it at this time was a little useless.
However, the Fire Flint was wrapped in his spiritual power. After entering the cauldron, it didn't burn immediately. Instead, it suddenly accelerated under his control and rushed into the melted spiritual material liquid.
The moment the Fire Flint entered the spiritual material liquid, it was immediately completely wrapped up.
When everyone saw this, they were all confused. Only Fire Spirit's eyes suddenly lit up as if he had thought of something.
Then, there was a muffled "boom"!
The spiritual material liquid suddenly swelled like a balloon and a large amount of white mist gushed out from the surface.
A moment later, the white mist completely dissipated, and the bloated mass of molten spirit material slowly opened, revealing a mass of black Fire Flint ashes that were slowly being peeled off.
"Genius, genius, this is really a genius' method," Fire Spirit couldn't help but exclaim.
"What do you mean?" Shen Luo didn't understand for a while and asked with a voice transmission.
"I underestimated Elder Man Jie. He actually thought of using the internal explosion of the Fire Flint to instantly increase the temperature of the spiritual material liquid and then evaporate the impurities in the liquid. He's really a genius." Fire Spirit was still quite excited.
When Shen Luo heard this, he understood. At the same time, he also knew that this operation was extremely difficult and extraordinary.
After all, not only did he have to control the temperature of the Fire Flint to be high enough, but he also had to ensure that the power of the explosion was not enough to break through the seal of the liquid. At the same time, he had to use his spiritual power to control the embers after the explosion of the Fire Flint to prevent it from entering the liquid and polluting it again.
Shen Luo knew that he didn't have the ability to do such a delicate operation for the time being.
After the spiritual material liquid was refined, the temperature of Elder Man Jie's cauldron began to gradually drop. A round shield was also gradually forming.
But at this moment, something strange happened.
