Lan Xuanyu looked at the heavy silver in front of him, then turned to Tang Le, and asked, "Uncle Yue, does this count as a success?"
Tang Le smiled, and said, "Of course. Congratulations, from this moment onward, you can call yourself a seventh-rank blacksmith. I didn't think that you'd succeed on your first try. On top of that, you've even found a unique path of forging that belongs to you. In my opinion, this is a little bit of cheating, haha. "
Before Lan Xuanyu had a chance to speak, Nana's voice rang out, "This is called using one's own advantages; how is this cheating? Not everyone could forge in this way. In fact, aren't many blacksmiths of the fire attribute? You must be able to sense the changes in the metal through your fire attribute during the forging process. "
Tang Le couldn't help but chuckle at Nana's rebuke. He shook his head gently, and said, "That's not the case. Not everyone who possesses a fire-attributed martial soul can possess a fire-elemental affinity like the rest of you. If you don't have a fire-attribute constitution, you won't be able to sense such a clear feedback. You can only sense it slightly. From Xuan Yu's performance just now, it's clear that he can clearly sense every single change in the heavy silver through the feedback of the fire attribute.
"This is a very good state for him, and it'll also make the fusion forging process much easier for him in the future. The most troublesome part of fusion forging is the strange reactions that occur when different metals are forged together. Most blacksmiths can only judge these reactions based on their experience. If they can truly sense these reactions, then the forging process will naturally be much easier. The so-called cheating that I'm talking about is actually the same as finding a shortcut for Xuan Yu, and it's destined that his forging success rate will be higher than that of others. "
Only then did Lan Xuanyu understand that using an elemental affinity constitution to forge was extremely effective. This was definitely a pleasant surprise.
He had actually succeeded in soul refinement on the first try! The Emerald Demon Battleship, we'll eat fine grain from now on. We won't even eat spirit refinement anymore. Haha.
The Emerald Demon Battleship didn't require rare metals that had undergone fusion refinement; it only required soul refinement.
The metal that Lan Xuanyu was most familiar with was heavy silver. Comparatively speaking, heavy silver wasn't all that expensive, and soul refinement was also a little easier. As such, it wouldn't be all that expensive to use as food. This was simply perfect!
Thinking up to this point, Lan Xuanyu couldn't help but smile from the bottom of his heart. "Thank you, Uncle Yue. Thank you, Teacher Nana." If it wasn't for Nana's reminder, he definitely wouldn't have found such a way.
It was simply too wonderful!
Nana smiled and didn't say anything.
Lan Xuanyu asked, "Uncle Yue, is there a problem with my soul refinement?"
Tang Le shook his head and said, "Because you have an advantage in terms of your affinity with the fire element, your smithing method is actually different from mine. Just forge according to your own way, and it'll be fine as long as you're familiar with it. There's not much I can teach you. Go ahead and practice a few more times. If you can stabilize your soul refinement success rate to a certain level, I'll teach you about fusion refinement in the next two days. If you can do that, then you'll be an eighth-rank blacksmith. "
Lan Xuanyu spent the entire afternoon forging. Nana's reminder allowed him to perfectly utilize the advantages of his five-ring and five-hundred-thousand-year soul rings in his forging.
Being able to control the fire element at the level of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring truly made him like a fire elemental king. With this level of control, Lan Xuanyu's forging skills immediately improved by leaps and bounds. It wasn't as simple as soul refinement.
His soul refinement success rate was far higher than he had imagined, and the feedback from the fire element was extremely effective. He even tried to fuse and solidify some other elements at the last moment while fusing the fire element.
It was definitely impossible for him to fuse fire elements into the fusion process, but after the metal gained life, it became possible to fuse some wind elements, earth elements, and even light elements into the fusion process.
Lan Xuanyu was constantly experimenting with soul refinement. With the support of his dragon core and the immense power of his bloodline, he didn't feel tired at all.
Only when night fell did Prince Yue say, "That's all for today. Your soul refinement success rate has truly exceeded my expectations. Tomorrow, I'll teach you about fusion refinement. I'm sure you'll need some time to digest this. After that, you can attempt to forge your suit of three-word battle armor. As for your ability to fuse elements, you have to experiment with it more. You'll have to find out what elements can maximize the activity of different metals, and what kind of soul master is most suited for them. These should be very interesting topics for you, and it'll greatly enhance the value of your future products. "
Lan Xuanyu was completely satisfied now! This was simply too wonderful. His soul refinement success rate had soared to 30% this afternoon.
That's right, 30%. It didn't sound like a high percentage, but this was soul refinement, not spirit refinement. What was even more frightening was that with the feedback from the fire elements, his spirit refinement success rate had reached 100% this afternoon. This meant that every piece of rare metal he forged had a 100% success rate.
Just this success rate alone was enough for Lan Xuanyu to reap a huge harvest in the outer court. He could reap a huge harvest from his junior brothers and sisters. He would definitely make a huge profit.
Even though he was the richest man in the outer court, he was now the biggest loser. In order to make a breakthrough, he had incurred a huge debt. If he didn't work hard, how was he going to repay it?
Furthermore, he had soul refinement as his trump card. If he could increase his soul refinement success rate a little more, then he could add fusion refinement to it. He was sure that it wouldn't be too difficult for him to repay his debt. He could also start accumulating resources for his next breakthrough. Everything was so beautiful and thriving.
After exiting the forging room, Nana wiped away the nonexistent sweat on Lan Xuanyu's forehead. "Are you tired?"
"I'm alright, Teacher Nana. After my breakthrough, a small piece of crystal condensed in my bloodline vortex. I call it a dragon core, and it seems to be able to help me transform my bloodline power on its own. It's no longer just expending energy without replenishing it. It's a little like what they call a soul core, and it's greatly improved my endurance in battle. " Lan Xuanyu was in particularly high spirits today, not only because of his successful soul refinement, but also because Nana and Uncle Yue were both here today!
Nana smiled, and said, "I can feel it. This is a very good situation."
Lan Xuanyu asked, "What do you guys want to eat? Are we eating out or in the dorm? Should I call Xiuxiu? "
Nana nodded, and said, "Sure! Let's call her along. I'll stay at her place tonight. "
With Prince Yue as an outsider, she naturally couldn't stay at Lan Xuanyu's place today.
Lan Xuanyu dialed Bai Xiuxiu's soul communicator, and it didn't take long for Bai Xiuxiu to meet up with them.
In the end, they decided to eat at Lan Xuanyu's dorm room. Prince Yue was simply too eye-catching, and even a mask and hat couldn't completely conceal him. On top of that, all of them were extremely handsome, and if they went out together, there was a very high chance that they would attract a lot of attention.
On the way back to the dorm room, Bai Xiuxiu tugged on Lan Xuanyu's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Why do I feel like the atmosphere is a little strange today? Teacher Nana seems to be in a bad mood. "
Lan Xuanyu was also a little perplexed. "Uncle Yue seems to be in a bad mood as well. He's not like how he usually is. Normally, he's always so calm and collected, but he seems to be a little anxious today. "This anxiety could be seen from the way he was forging.
Bai Xiuxiu said, "The two of them seem to be a good match for each other, and they seem to be walking together in harmony."
At this moment, Nana and Prince Yue were walking at the back, and Lan Xuanyu was being dragged along by Bai Xiuxiu. However, Nana and Prince Yue maintained a certain distance from each other.
