"Hehehe …" The caverns of all sizes around the empty mountainside were suddenly filled with uniform chants that sounded like the pulling of a rope. Then, the sound of drums rose and fell continuously. On the rocky ground in the center of the mountainside that was emitting red light, countless red flames shot out from the cracks of the rocks as if something was blowing them out from the ground. As the flames rose higher and higher, the red flames gradually turned from red to green and white like a sharp glint.
Yue Qianchou and Ancestor Nan Ming were both curious. They released their divine senses to investigate the surrounding caverns of all sizes. They saw that below those caverns, there were large iron boxes embedded in the stone walls. The airflow was rushing, and a group of Giant Strength Fire Apes were pushing and pulling a huge piston rod in front of the iron box. It was actually a bellow!
There was naturally more than one bellow like this. There was one bellow in all the caverns of all sizes. Yue Qianchou and Ancestor Nan Ming looked at each other. The former immediately transmitted his voice to the latter, "Do you guys also do this when you forge?" The latter paused and replied, "This is the most primitive method. Are you sure that his forging skills are really unique?" The former was speechless for a moment before replying, "Let's wait a little longer! Maybe he has found another way to do it. "
The two then saw the two Giant Strength Fire Apes carrying the huge spider's corpse suddenly throw something into the green and white Blazing Fire Formation that was a hundred meters in radius. "Bang!" Rubble flew everywhere with sparks.
The sound of drums did not stop. It was obvious that the Fire Apes had been pushing and pulling with all their might. The three of them stared at the huge spider's corpse that was burning in the flames for a long time, but they did not see any change in the huge spider's corpse. The Ape King had his hands behind his back and his legs slightly spread apart. He stood there with a righteous and awe-inspiring air, appearing to be very patient. Yue Qianchou and Ancestor Nan Ming thought that he was going to do something shocking, but after waiting for a long time, they gradually realized that something was wrong. Could it be that …
"Cough, cough!" Yue Qianchou coughed and asked, "Brother Ape, didn't you want to show us your forging skills? What are you waiting for? "
The Ape King turned around and looked at him as if he was an amateur. He waved his hand and pointed at the huge spider's corpse in the flames, "Naturally, I am waiting for the fire force to clear before I forge."
"Ah …"
Grandmaster Nan Ming's cultivation base was the lowest among them. Originally, he had been waiting patiently even if he was impatient. However, when he heard the Ape King's words, he could not help but turn around and cry out in surprise together with Yue Qianchou.
"Is there a problem?" The Ape King was puzzled. Grandmaster Nan Ming could not help but ask, "Are you going to keep waiting like this?" The Ape King immediately snorted coldly and said, "Do you have a better idea?"
"That … that …" Yue Qianchou swallowed hard and interrupted, "Don't worry, Brother Ape. What he meant was, how long will it take for the Fire Force to be fully activated?"
The Ape King looked at the burning flames with a serious expression and said, "The shell of the Temple Rainbow Spider is extraordinarily hard. It will take at least ten days and ten nights for the fire to penetrate it."
"Ten days and ten nights?" Yue Qianchou cried out in surprise again. This time, he did not plan to give face to the Ape King. He did not have so much time to play with him slowly. He turned and asked Grandmaster Nan Ming, "Do you have any way to make it faster?" In reality, he could easily solve this problem himself. However, he was not too familiar with the situation in the Divine Ruin Realm. It was not convenient for him to take out the blue and purple flames to show off.
"It's very simple. Most master refiners will use some external objects to raise the temperature of the fire, such as using kerosene and the like." Grandmaster Nan Ming glanced at the Ape King as if he was worried that he would be unhappy. When he saw that the Ape King was also listening attentively, he felt relieved and continued, "However, true master refiners are more or less proficient in the arrangement of formations. This is because a good artifact has the existence of formations integrated into it. Whether a treasure is good or not, other than the key factor of raw materials, the fusion of the formation and the treasure is also very important. We usually see all kinds of miraculous effects from treasures, and this is all because of the formation. "Because they are proficient in formations, most of them will set up a Fire Gathering Formation at the place of refinement to condense the strongest fire temperature to speed up the smelting of the artifact."
Yue Qianchou nodded slightly and looked at the Ape King with a disdainful expression. He thought to himself, 'Old monkey, look at him. This is a true master refiner. Just the theoretical knowledge that he talks about is already set after set. It's hard to not be convinced. Unlike you, who is still using such a primitive method.'
"Formation?" The Ape King was stunned. Back then, he had only unintentionally seen an ordinary cultivator forging things. What he saw was similar to an ordinary blacksmith forging iron. There was no way he could be compared to a blacksmith who was an expert in blacksmithing like the Nan Ming Ancestor. In the endless months that followed, he had been fumbling around by himself. He had never come into contact with a master refiner like the Grandmaster Nan Ming, so it was not strange that he did not know.
"Brother Ape, why don't you let Mister Nan Ming help you set up a Fire Gathering Formation?" Yue Qianchou pointed at the place where the flames were blazing.
The Ape King came back to his senses and immediately cupped his hands at the Grandmaster Nan Ming. "Please enlighten me, Mister Nan Ming." He revealed a hint of modesty now, but he still wore an expectant look on his face. It was as if he was waiting to see if Mister Nan Ming was good at talking or doing well.
The Grandmaster Nan Ming did not stand on ceremony. He took out a handful of spirit stones from his storage pouch and threw them into the stone walls around the flames. One handful was not enough, so he took out dozens of top grade spirit stones in succession. Only then was he able to set up a complicated formation in the belly of the mountain. After setting up the formation, he pinched his fingers and cast several spells into the formation. The Fire Gathering Formation was immediately activated.
In an instant, the airflow in the belly of the mountain surged and condensed violently. The Ape King and Yue Qianchou could only feel the rolling heat waves in the belly of the mountain diminishing rapidly. They were suddenly swallowed back to the center of the mountain where the heat was spreading. The greenish-white flames that emerged from the cracks of the crushed stones on the ground looked as if they had encountered a tornado. The flames that rose high up in the sky began to swirl and gather toward the giant spider's corpse that was burning in the center.
The Grandmaster Nan Ming then cast several spells to adjust the formation. The greenish-white flames that were sweeping toward them were like flowing clouds, wrapping around the giant spider's corpse and burning it to its heart's content. The effect of the gathering and burning was probably dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than before. The scene was very magical.
In fact, this was also the first time Yue Qianchou had seen a master refiner in action. He could not help but click his tongue in wonder. The Ape King's expression was somewhat sluggish. After being dumbfounded for a while, it turned to look at the Grandmaster Nan Ming with a gaze filled with fanaticism.
Half a day later, the giant spider's corpse began to emit waves of a disgusting stench. It was obvious that the high temperature of the rolling flames had destroyed its internal organs. It was estimated that all of its internal organs would be burnt to ashes soon. Then, a slightly red carapace gradually appeared in the greenish-white flames. When it turned completely red, the Grandmaster Nan Ming cast another spell into the formation. In an instant, it turned into a ball of burning flames that quickly spread out to its original state. The high temperature also quickly filled the entire belly of the mountain.
"The Fire Force has been penetrated. Ape King, you can begin now," the Grandmaster Nan Ming said with a confident smile.
However, after the Ape King had seen the Grandmaster Nan Ming's methods, he did not seem so confident anymore. He cupped his hands in a humble manner and said, "Mister Nan Ming is an expert in this field. There is no need for me to embarrass myself anymore." As he said this, he waved his arm and pointed at the red carapace. He said politely, "Please give me some pointers, Mister Nan Ming."
The Grandmaster Nan Ming looked at Yue Qianchou to seek his opinion. Yue Qianchou immediately coughed and interrupted, "Brother Ape, since you want Mister Nan Ming to give you pointers, you should at least let Mister Nan Ming take a look at your abilities first! Otherwise, how can he teach you? Brother Ape, why don't you display your refining methods to your heart's content and let Mister Nan Ming take a look first? "
"Alright!" The Ape King was a straightforward person. After he cupped his hands in greeting at the Grandmaster Nan Ming, he took a step forward and a majestic aura suddenly erupted from his body. The bones in his body made explosive sounds and he seemed to have grown taller in an instant. His fiery red hair moved without any wind and the muscles that were exposed outside the metal vest swelled. The muscles on his arms were like steel wires that were twisted together, protruding and wriggling. One look and one could tell that he was filled with explosive power.
"Hai!" The Ape King's right arm suddenly struck forward and a huge shadow of an illusory palm grabbed the red carapace. After that, he twisted his body and waved his arm at an incredible speed, throwing the red carapace behind him. With a "dang", it landed steadily on the dark platform behind him. Then, the Ape King suddenly spread out his arms. "Weng", red flames instantly erupted from his body and enveloped his entire body.
Under the astonished gaze of the Grandmaster Nan Ming, the Ape King charged towards the red carapace like a cannonball while carrying raging flames. He took advantage of the momentum and struck out a huge shadow of his fist at lightning speed, smashing it on the red carapace. "Dang", bright sparks flew everywhere.
The first punch was followed by thousands of punches. Deafening "dang" sounds that were as dense as raindrops rang violently in the belly of the mountain and bright sparks flew everywhere. In just a few breaths' time, countless figures that carried raging flames appeared around the red and transparent carapace. Tens of thousands of fiery fists struck out like a storm and all of them landed heavily on the bright red carapace of the spider.
It couldn't be, right? Yue Qianchou and the Grandmaster Nan Ming looked at this scene in a daze. Fiery fists surrounded the red carapace hammer in front of their eyes. Never in their dreams would they have thought that the Ape King would use his fists as hammers to hammer things. What was the difference between this and forging iron?
"Senior Nan Ming, with your eyesight, can you tell what he's doing?" Yue Qianchou transmitted his voice to the Grandmaster Nan Ming.
"It should be the most primitive forging method … But I can't be sure. Let's wait and see!" After the Grandmaster Nan Ming replied, his pupils suddenly shrank and he stared at the dark platform that was enduring the forging. With the Ape King's cultivation, the countless heavy punches that he had unleashed could even cause a mountain to collapse. However, the black platform's endurance was so strong that it was unbelievable. No matter how many punches were thrown at it, it would not budge.
After another half a day, the bright red carapace of the spider finally began to shrink bit by bit under the bombardment of countless heavy punches …
