Big dreamer

Shen Luo's eyes moved towards Elder Manbao, only to see him staring intently at his furnace, completely immersed in it physically and mentally, without being disturbed by Hou Shan beside him.

At this moment, he had sent the Lingxiao Copper and the Light Stone into the furnace, and was controlling the flames to form three rings, surrounding the two materials in the center, trying to smelt them together.

The three flame rings have different temperatures, and they cycle back and forth around the two spiritual materials. Through the alternating flames from time to time, the two materials are fused at different levels.

This kind of fusion method has been seen in Shen Luo's Book of Heavenly Secrets. It is called bite smelting. It is a very difficult smelting method. It is more complicated than simple smelting and kneading, but it can make two spiritual materials have their own characteristics. The advantages are better preserved, and the refined Yanjia will have more high-quality characteristics.

For example, the Lingxiao copper has excellent ductility but insufficient toughness. If it is simply fused, the resulting spiritual material can indeed enhance toughness while maintaining ductility, but the combined effect is only equivalent to another more powerful one. High-grade spiritual material, the gold of the open sea.

However, if it is made by the method of bite and smelting, the two spiritual materials will be in a state of bite and layered fusion, and their ductility and toughness will be better than the gold of the open sea.

Hou Shan, who was standing aside, saw a hint of jealousy in his eyes when he saw that Elder Man Bao had actually mastered the art of bite and smelting, and his eyebrows drooped slightly.

From this point alone, he is no longer as good as Elder Man Bao...

At this time, he also put away his contempt for Elder Manbao and began to focus on refining Yanjia.

As time passed bit by bit, the main metal in the gold-selling furnace had been completely refined and turned into a liquid state, which was controlled by its magic power to float in the furnace room.

After a while, wisps of smoke began to emerge from the molten liquid. This was a sign that the impurities contained inside it were separated, which represented that the purity of the spiritual material was constantly improving.

Shen Luo watched his movements, and Huo Lingzi's voice suddenly sounded in the sea of ​​​​consciousness: "If this situation continues, the elder Barbarian will probably lose."

In the hand hidden in his sleeve, he clearly held the Xiaoyao Mirror.

The water clouds were lingering on the mirror, and the Hell Fire Furnace was reflected inside, with Huo Lingzi also living in it.

"This is only the smelting stage, and you can already see the results?" Shen Luo's expression did not change at all, and he only communicated with his mind as he asked.

"Although the bite and smelting method of the elder Barbarian is good, the furnace used is really ordinary. As a result, the furnace fire does not heat up fast enough to make the spiritual materials bite and smelt to a flawless state. On the other hand, Hou Shan was different. He smelted it Spiritual materials can basically reach the level of flawlessness, which is better than that of Barbarians," Huo Lingzi said.

"Just the difference in the purity of the spiritual material is not enough to determine the winner, right? Besides, the bite and smelting method is obviously better." Shen Luo said hesitantly.

"No. Although Houshan's smelting method is ordinary, because it is refining offensive materials, it does not require high ductility and more requirements for sturdiness, so there is no need to ensure more ductility. It is also because For this reason, I dare to conclude that the type of weapon he refined must be Yanjia, which requires lower ductility, such as daggers and short cones, do you believe it or not?" Huo Lingzi said confidently.

Shen Luo didn't say anything, but saw that Hou Shan had already started adding auxiliary materials to the furnace.

As several pieces of auxiliary materials flew into the furnace one after another and fused with the main materials one by one, the temperature in the furnace also began to gradually drop.

At this time, Hou Shan's hands began to dance in the void. As the temperature of the molten spiritual material in the furnace dropped, it began to gradually solidify, revealing Yan Jia's true form bit by bit. Sure enough, as Huo Lingzi said, it was a The handle is a triangular short pyramid.

"It is quite difficult to refine the prototype of Yan Armor with such a good quality in such a short period of time. As long as there are no problems with the Yan armor inscribed on the back, he is probably a sure winner," Huo Lingzi said.

When Shen Luo heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

If Hou Shan really wins this game, then Che Qingtian and the others will win two cities in a row and win directly.

He couldn't help but look at Elder Manbao worriedly.

Compared with Hou Shan, his speed is much slower. He has not been able to refine all the spiritual materials yet, and is still adding spiritual materials into the furnace.

Almost everyone could see that his firepower was insufficient, each step was slow and every step was too slow.

But at this moment, he suddenly selected a very inconspicuous flint stone from among the many spiritual materials, which was unexpected by everyone, and controlled it with his magic power and sent it into the furnace.

"I'm afraid it won't be of any use if we add more fire flints now. What does Man Bao want to do?" Elder Fu was a little anxious.

This thing is usually used as a combustion-supporting material, which can increase the temperature of the furnace to a certain extent, but when added at this time, the effect is somewhat useless.

However, he saw that the flint stone was wrapped with his magic power. After entering the furnace, it did not burn immediately. Instead, it was controlled by it and suddenly accelerated, rushing into the molten spiritual material liquid.

The moment the fire flint stone entered the spiritual liquid mass, it was immediately completely wrapped.

When everyone saw this, they were all confused. Only Huo Lingzi's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he thought of something.

Immediately afterwards, a dull sound of "boom" was heard!

The molten liquid of spiritual material suddenly expanded like a balloon, and a large amount of white mist suddenly emerged from the surface.

After a moment, all the white mist dissipated, and the expanding mass of molten spiritual material slowly opened, revealing a mass of black flint and ash, which was slowly peeled away.

"Genius, genius, really what a genius does." Huo Lingzi couldn't help but exclaimed.

"How do you say it?" Shen Luo couldn't understand it for a moment and asked via voice transmission.

"I underestimated this powerful elder. He could actually think of a way to use the internal explosion of fire flint to instantly increase the temperature of the molten spiritual material, and then evaporate the impurities in the molten liquid. He is simply a genius." Huo Lingzi Still quite excited.

After hearing this, Shen Luo understood. At the same time, he also knew that this operation was extremely difficult and unusual.

After all, it is necessary to control the temperature of the deflagration of the flint to be high enough, and to ensure that the power of the deflagration is not strong enough to break through the blockade surrounded by the melt. At the same time, it is also necessary to control the embers after the deflagration of the flint with mana to prevent them from entering the molten liquid for a second time. pollute.

Shen Luo thought that he was not capable of achieving such a delicate operation yet.

After the refining of the spiritual material melt was completed, the temperature of Elder Manbao's furnace began to gradually drop, and a round shield shape was gradually formed.

But at this moment, a sudden change occurred.
