Lan Xuanyu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately nodded. His spiritual power moved slightly, and he sensed the Heavy Silver being calcined on the forging table.
The blazing fire element constantly drilled into the Heavy Silver, causing it to change little by little under the high temperature. When Lan Xuanyu's consciousness fused with the fire element, it was as if he had become the fire element, and he was changing the Heavy Silver.
Nana was right. When he entered this state, this piece of Heavy Silver no longer had any secrets in front of him, and every change appeared clearly in his spiritual will.
Time changed, and a strange feeling suddenly arose in Lan Xuanyu's heart. The forging of the Heavy Silver should be just right. Subconsciously, he directly pressed the button on the forging table, and let the Heavy Silver rise from the bottom of the forging table.
The forging table had different calcination times for different metals, and at this time, the time that Lan Xuanyu let the Heavy Silver rise was slightly different from the set time.
However, Lan Xuanyu was pleasantly surprised. Every piece of metal, even if it was the same kind of metal, was unique, and no metal's internal structure was exactly the same. Therefore, although the calcination time of each piece of metal was very similar, there would still be a difference of a few millimeters.
At this moment, he was able to accurately determine the best state of this piece of Heavy Silver after being calcined. This undoubtedly raised his understanding of Heavy Silver to a whole new level. A perfect calcined metal would naturally be of great benefit to his forging!
This was the benefit of probing the Heavy Silver by sensing the fire element.
His eyes narrowed, and the forging hammer in his right hand was swung out without hesitation.
At this time, the Heavy Silver was still in a blazing state, and its entire body was red. With the help of the fire element, its overall structure completely appeared in Lan Xuanyu's consciousness without any concealment.
"Dang dang dang, dang dang dang!" Tang Wulin struck the heavy silver six times in a row, and there wasn't any particularly heavy force or extreme force behind each strike. However, each and every strike was made in the most appropriate place, and his soul power and bloodline power instantly seeped into the heavy silver, causing it to emit a pleasing sound.
The light suddenly brightened, and this piece of Heavy Silver clearly became different, Hundred Refined successfully!
Six strikes, Hundred Refined successfully. This was definitely Lan Xuanyu's fastest time in history. It wasn't as exaggerated as Prince Yue's, but what level of cultivation did Prince Yue have, and what level of cultivation did Lan Xuanyu have? The reason he was able to complete the Hundred Refinements in such a short time was because he had thoroughly comprehended this piece of Heavy Silver through the fire element.
Moreover, at this time, the Heavy Silver was still in a blazing state, and the fire elements had not dissipated, so he could still clearly feel the overall situation of the Heavy Silver and every change.
The forging didn't stop. Lan Xuanyu's hammering movements became faster and faster. A series of hammering sounds could be heard. Every hammering sound was powerful and heavy, but it was just right. His current physical strength had also greatly increased. In this state, the effects of metal forging were naturally much better.
After thirty-six consecutive strikes, a blinding light rose into the air. This was first-grade Thousand Refinement with Spirit Refinement!
In this state of first-grade thousand refinement, Lan Xuanyu's results were no worse than Prince Yue's.
Tang Le's eyes lit up. How could Lan Xuanyu's improvement be described as mere improvement? It was simply too great! Not only was his forging speed increased by two-thirds, but the quality of his Thousand Refinements had also greatly increased.
The more solid his foundation was, the easier it would be to continue improving his forging results.
Lan Xuanyu focused his mind, and the power of his bloodline flowed into the hammering. With every hammering sound, he could clearly feel the feedback from the forging process. The feedback from the fire element, as well as the feedback from the metal itself, clearly told him where to strike next and what kind of power to use.
His hammering speed began to slow, but every strike was just right, no more, no less. It was almost perfect. Even Prince Yue couldn't find any fault with it.
Ten minutes later! A resonant dragon's roar rang out, and clear dragon inscriptions appeared on the surface of the metal. They were even more obvious than the ones on Prince Yue's piece of heavy silver. They were just slightly different.
Lan Xuanyu's piece of metal shined brighter, but its temperature remained high. This was because he controlled the fire element to maintain the heavy silver's temperature. With the fire element in it, it would be more beneficial for him to sense and understand this piece of metal.
Lan Xuanyu took a deep breath. He knew that the most crucial moment had arrived. He focused his mind, and the hammer fell once more. His spiritual power was far from being as strong as Prince Yue's, so the amount of spiritual power he could bring out with each strike was limited. As such, he made his hammering motion a little lighter, and carefully sensed the changes in the spirit refined heavy silver with each influx of his spiritual power, as well as the changes in its life force.
He was very careful with his forging, like a craftsman in the midst of carving. His forging process was almost perfect for Prince Yue and Nana to see.
The two of them watched attentively, sensing Lan Xuanyu's progress. They could also feel the changes in his forging process.
If it was in the past, even with Nana's guidance, Lan Xuanyu would still need to divert his attention to control the fire elements. It was even more impossible for him to control the fire elements to such a fine degree and even obtain feedback.
But things were different now. Everything was changing. He was like the king of the fire element. All he had to do was give the fire element a command, and it would take care of everything for him.
Under the injection of the fire elements, the Heavy Silver was like an open chest, revealing everything clearly to Lan Xuanyu's perception.
Every time he tapped on it with his mind power, he was testing it out. He was testing the metal's feedback. For blacksmiths, the most important thing was how they judged the feedback. The integration of the fire element into the heavy silver made it a lot easier for Lan Xuanyu to sense the feedback.
A faint smile appeared on Lan Xuanyu's face, and he could already sense the best way to stimulate the heavy silver's life force. He could even make it absorb the life force energy in the air, as well as the bloodline power that he injected into the heavy silver during his forging.
This was a very peculiar feeling. It was as if he were creating a new life and bestowing it with intelligence.
Finally, after an indeterminate period of time, Lan Xuanyu could sense that the heavy silver seemed to have reached a peak. He hammered down, and it naturally struck the final bottleneck.
There seemed to be a crisp "clang" sound, and in the next moment, an incomparably joyful mood surged out and bloomed outwards.
It didn't have the sharpness that Mr. Le's soul refined metal emitted when it released its emotions, but Lan Xuanyu's Heavy Silver seemed to be more peaceful and happy. It was releasing its emotions toward Lan Xuanyu in a very intimate manner, and it even seemed as if it couldn't wait to become a part of his body.
Lan Xuanyu's eyes gradually widened as he regained consciousness. Did I... succeed?
The dazzling silver metal had shrunk down to only a third of its original size. In terms of volume, it was far smaller than the piece that Prince Yue had forged. In the end, his forging skills were still far inferior to Prince Yue's.
However, on this piece of Heavy Silver, golden veined patterns were faintly discernible. Faintly, a faint dragon's roar reverberated in a joyful manner. On the surface of the metal, the dragon veined patterns were constantly changing, as if there were small golden dragons roaming within. Not only that, but there was also a layer of red light that was filled with fire-elemental aura radiating from the surface of the metal.
This was the fire-elemental energy that had been sealed within the metal during the forging process, and it had completely fused with this piece of heavy silver. In other words, this piece of soul refined metal had been bestowed with fire-elemental attributes. This didn't mean that this type of fire-elemental attribute would allow it to breathe fire. Instead, it would make it more compatible with all types of fire-elemental abilities, thereby enhancing it to a greater extent.
