Chapter 346 – Alloy

Yuanen Yehui looked up at Xie Xie, who had barged in He ulped, thenfor her the entire time Just like Yuanen Yehui had suspected, he was the one who cleaned the dormitory He had drawn the bucket of water outside her door as well, using his Shadow Dragon Dagger to invisibly lurk in the vicinity, waiting for Yuanen Yehui to return When he saw her du punched in the gut Just as he was about to leave, however, he heard her pained screaht Only as he stared into her crimson eyes did he start to feel aard

“Get out!” she screamed

“Ah!” Xie Xie turned tail and ran off Fear continued to linger in his heart when it ca to kill him had been burned into his et to close the door behind him

Yuanen Yehui panted for breath as she wiped tears fro her blanket tightly

“Do you knohat the greatest difference is between blacks Wuyu asked Tang Wulin

“Well… they can spirit refine,” Tang Wulin answered

“That’s a shit answer It’s nowhere near as si Wuyu glared at Tang Wulin, the intensity in his gaze forcing the boy to stumble backward a step

“Teacher Mu said that I shouldn’t bite off more than I can chew… that he’ll teachwhen I could actually do it,” Tang Wulin answeredWuyu shouted “His way of teaching is half-assed Only with a co path will you be able to properly prepare and progress on it Now pay attention I’ll teach you just what a grand, blacks to routine In other words, they just have to practice skilled labor After spirit refining, blacksmiths can finally show their flair and character in their work This is aWuyu paused for a reatest difference between fourth and fifth-rank blacksenousalloys”

“Alloys?” The idea left Tang Wulin du in hisWuyu declared “You’ve succeeded in doing so once before, so let , as the hardest part of the process?”

“Giving the radually gains intelligence while being forged, and after reaching a certain level of intelligence, its very nature transforms At that moment, we blacksmiths need to irant it true life Only then will the spirit refining succeed Also, since ree to which we can awaken its intelligence is crucial to the chances of successfully spirit refining”

“Not bad, kid That’s a pretty good explanation Nohat does the innate nature of theit life? The better the metal, the easier it is to spirit refine The creation of life is one of the universe’s most important matters In the split-second life is created, there is a burst of unperceivable energy This energy is e call life energy, and it’s the basis of all life While we y, lifeless objects are extrees to absorb that energy, it gains life, but if it doesn’t, it’s ravaged by that energy and reduced to garbage This is why failed spirit refinings result invitality is a large part of why you succeeded in your first spirit refining Your life force poured into the heavy silver along with your blood essence, strengthening it and ultiain life You accidently succeeded at an extre Life Guard Not all blacksmiths are capable of this, and even Saint Blacksmiths only succeed thirty percent of the time So, after countless experiments, we came up with anotherThe basis of that th and its ability to absorb life energy In order to do that, we forge alloys!

“Alloys are just what you’re thinking of: a coh they see extensive use inabout Alloys used indifferentthe ratios, and shaping the completed product Some chemicals are even used to help with the process The alloys I’ed by hand and hammer alone

“Blacksmiths also need to carefully mix e the alloy to strengthen it and bring out the best of its properties We then finish off the alloy by spirit refining, and at higher levels, soul refining it The rowth is decided

“Froe alloys Once you can skillfully forge ten alloys, we’llThis way, your chances of success will be higher”

Tang Wulin had been listening earnestly the entire ti with exciteed to reach a one hundred percent success rate with first-grade thousand refineress further After years of forging, he was exceptionally familiar with a wide variety oftechnique had been polished to perfection While spirit refining did bestow life to a nificantly i wasWulin knew all of this, but he didn’t knohat his next step was supposed to be Even though he knew about soul refining, he didn’t kno to do it or what it did Beyond that was the fabled heavenly refining, so Wulin had been at a co Wuyu’s explanation of alloys was like a seeing new door open before hireater heights as a blacksher level battle armors used alloys as a base

This is probably what Teacher Mu wanted to talk tois different now that I’ve reached the fifth rank It’s a whole neorld

Feng Wuyu continued to teach Tang Wulin about alloys, how to forge them, and most importantly, their formulas Countless rounds of trial and error resulted in the creation of forenerations from master to disciple Each and every fororized as either common or rare Rare fored individuals were allowed to know Common foreneral public

Thean alloy, the harder it was to forge it This happened because the number of transformations that occurred in the mixture went up with each additional metal This made formulas that included rade alloy forenerally used two to three metals Any formula that listed more than three metals was considered a rare formula, and rarity increased with the nu Wulin, inheritance becae alloys The Blacksrade alloy for Wulin had Feng Wuyu and Mu Chen, two Saint Blacks alloy formulas
