Chapter 559 Eighth in the world
"Spiritual forging is a different path from traditional forging."

[Headquarters of the Blacksmiths Association], on the fifth floor, in foundry room number one, Ling Yi, Lou Gao, A Gu, and Qiu Yishui stood aside, watching Mo Chengyun waving the forging hammer in front of the foundry table.

Ling Yi's voice was mixed in with the continuous sounds of metal striking. It was not abrupt at all, but instead formed an indescribable sense of harmony, making Mo Chengyun, who was wielding the forging hammer, feel that his mental strength was transmitted and received by his heart, and was particularly smooth!

"Below 100 Forgings, there will be almost no impact on the essence of the material. It can only be regarded as a simple reshaping."

"When you reach the Hundred Forgings level, you start to purify the material. As the number of forgings increases, the impurities inside the material are removed bit by bit, making the material closer to its original state when it was first created."

“That state is when the material is most in line with nature.”

"When you reach the Thousand Forgings, you can almost move on to the Spiritual Forging."

"Metal materials at the Thousand Forgings level have the initial qualifications to nurture spirituality. When you can sense the breathing of the metal under the hammer and sense the vigorous vitality in the metal, you have the qualifications to 'awaken the spirit' of the metal."

These are the contents of the forging textbook of [Tiangong College]. Both Mo Chengyun and Qiu Yishui have memorized them by heart, but for some reason, when they heard Ling Yi, the author of the textbook, narrating it in person, all kinds of insights emerged in their minds, and many problems in the past suddenly became clear at this moment.

Mo Chengyun swung the forging hammer in his hand more and more vigorously, but the sound of the hammer falling became lighter and lighter, giving people a melodious and crisp feeling of hitting a jade chime.

As the forging hammer danced, a sword gradually took shape. The blade was wide, the back was straight, and the tip was raised. It was a ring-handled sword with a thick back and a wide blade.

In addition, the raw material used to make this ring-handled sword is not any kind of alloy, but only "black iron".

Seeing that the forging was about to come to an end, Ling Yi walked to the workbench at the side and opened the two jade boxes at the same time.

Suddenly, two completely different auras rushed out from the two jade boxes and rushed straight to Ling Yi's face who was right in front of him.

Ling Yi remained unmoved, with shadows of the sun and the moon flashing in his eyes. The two auras were like mice seeing a cat, and they instantly ceased their movements and retracted into the jade box.

Lou Gao, A Gu and Qiu Yishui also followed at this time and looked up at the two jade boxes on the workbench.

I saw that inside the two jade boxes, the one in the warm yellow jade box contained a fiery red fruit with densely packed golden spots on the surface. Just looking at it gave people a burning and scalding feeling.

The five hundred year old "Red Flame Fruit"!
In another white jade box was a blue fruit the size of a thumb nail, which was emitting a faint blue glow. Its cool meaning was incompatible with the red flame fruit in the jade box next to it.

Five hundred years old "Ice Crystal Fruit"!
Ling Yi took out a white jade tripod the size of a human head, opened the lid inlaid with vermilion gems, grabbed two fruits, one red and one blue, and threw them into the jade tripod.

Before the two fruits could react due to their conflicting properties, Ling Yi casually picked up a green jade bottle on the workbench, pulled out the cork, and poured the dark purple liquid in the bottle directly into the jade tripod, then closed the lid.

Extract of the blood of the thousand-year-old "One-horned Snake"!
As the three materials converged in the Jade Tripod, a powerful energy wave quickly awakened from it, causing the Jade Tripod to begin to tremble slightly.

Seeing this, Ling Yi stretched out his right hand and lightly touched the lid of the jade tripod with his index finger.

Red and blue light flashed at the fingertips, and the trembling jade tripod, which was originally getting more and more intense, immediately calmed down. Only a series of gurgling sounds, like the sound of boiling water, came from the jade tripod. About ten breaths later, the three people from Lou Gao who were close to them seemed to hear a dragon's roar, but before they could listen carefully, there was no sound anymore, as if the dragon's roar was just an illusion of the three people.

Ling Yi reached out and opened the lid of the white jade tripod. A faint fragrance with a slightly bloody scent wafted out, causing Lou Gao and the other two standing nearby to swallow subconsciously.

The three of them hurriedly looked into the cauldron, and saw a pool of light purple liquid with sparkling golden light appear in their sight.

Ling Yi picked up the jade tripod with his left hand and walked towards Mo Chengyun who was still swinging the hammer at the forging table.

At this moment, because of Ling Yi's spiritual guidance, Mo Chengyun had entered a special state without any distractions. His mind and eyes were filled with only one thought: to forge the knife in his hand into the most perfect work!
At this moment, Mo Chengyun's eyes were focused on nothing but the forging hammer in his hand and the ring-handled knife on the anvil. Even his own body seemed to have ceased to exist. The movement of swinging the hammer was completely based on physical instinct, but the strength and landing point of each hammer seemed extremely precise and natural under his mental observation!
As time went by, the dark blade of the ring-handled sword began to gleam with a faint light. As the forging continued, the faint light began to grow stronger, and the light flickered with the forging hammer, as if it was breathing!
At a certain moment, a divine light flashed in Ling Yi's eyes. He held up the jade tripod with his left hand and made a claw with his right hand to grab the top of the jade tripod. The light purple liquid that occupied about one-third of the space inside the tripod flew up.

Without waiting for the lavender liquid to touch his palm, Ling Yi turned his right hand and threw all the purple liquid into the air. An invisible force gushed out from his palm, turning the purple liquid into purple mist all over the sky.

With a push of his palm, the purple mist enveloped Mo Chengyun and the forging hammer and ring-handled sword in his hands.

"Clang, clang, clang—!"

An increasingly crisp knocking sound emerged from the purple mist, giving people a sense of beautiful rhythm.

Soon, in less than ten breaths, the originally sticky purple mist seemed to be pulled by something and quickly collapsed inwards. Along with an excited dragon roar, a dazzling purple light bloomed from the dark ring-handled sword, illuminating the entire foundry room.

Mo Chengyun had already put down the forging hammer in his hand and instead grasped the handle of the ring-handled sword.

It can be seen that the originally wide blade has become much narrower, and is now only as wide as an ordinary person's palm, but the overall look is smoother and more pleasing to the eye. Pieces of dark purple texture like dragon scales are spread all over the blade, and there are two blood grooves on the edge of the bright blade, telling everyone that it is a blood-drinking weapon!
"Silly boy, what are you doing? Why don't you summon your martial spirit?!"

Just as Mo Chengyun was looking at the magic weapon he had created with his own hands with eyes full of obsession, a light shout woke him up.

“Ah? Oh——!”

Mo Chengyun was stunned at first when he heard that, but he reacted immediately and quickly put the ring-handled sword, no, it should be called the "Dragon Scale Sword" to his left hand, then he spread out his right palm, and with the gray-black soul power shining, a sword that was 90% similar in shape to the original ring-handled sword appeared in his hand.

At the same time, two yellow and two purple, a total of four soul rings also appeared under Mo Chengyun's feet.

Mo Chengyun, martial soul "Ring-Handed Sword", 27 years old, 48th level strong attack system fighting soul sect, energy refining martial artist, blacksmith master.

Of course, with the successful casting of the "Dragon Scale Knife", although Ling Yi had some assistance, the final result was only the difference between 100 points and 80 points. Mo Chengyun can already be rated as a master craftsman.

Following Ling Yi, Lou Gao, Tie Fu Tu, A Gu, Tai Tan, Shangguan Tian You and Tang Hao, the eighth master craftsman of Douluo Continent!
At this time, Mo Chengyun, the eighth-best divine craftsman in the world, was holding his martial spirit "Ring-Handed Knife" in one hand and his divine weapon "Dragon Scale Knife" in the other, slowly bringing the two together until they fit together...
