Forging experiment in progress
"Hey, old man Kong, you should know about Soul Forging, right?"
"Of course I know."
"Come on, let some blood flow. Soul Forging should be the key to your final step!"
"What are you doing! Don't take out a knife!"
Outside Kong Deming's laboratory.
Ye Yulin thoughtfully closed the fifteen-centimeter-thick soul guide door and picked at his ear.
"It's so noisy."
When the Soul Guidance Gate reopened, Ye Yulin stepped into the laboratory.
Ye Nanxiao, who was originally holding a knife, was now bound by streaks of silver light and rolled around on the ground.
Kong Deming, holding Ye Nanxiao's ice blade, put down his own carving knife and casually chopped at the metal beside him.
A silky sound rang out.
The forged piece of silver was cleaved open as easily as splitting butter.
"Trying to kill me with this kind of knife? Are you trying to murder me?" Kong Deming put the ice blade aside, glared at him, and said.
"You old man! My time is so precious! I started the experiment as soon as I arrived! And you're not cooperating! Bah!"
Ye Nanxiao was furious. His mental connection time was extremely precious, and this old man was asking someone to do the work but wouldn't cooperate!
"Untie yourself now! Or I'll blow up your Silver Moon Divine Light Shield!"
Kong Deming snorted coldly and waved his hand to retract the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.
"You want blood, right? How much?"
"That's hard to say. It depends on whether your blood contains enough energy. Shall we have two vials first?" Ye Nanxiao stretched his limbs, grinned, and two icy hands grew from his back.
Two more ice blades materialized.
"Alright, Xiao Ye, go light the stove. You two have the same surname, Ye boy. You wait here, I'll do it myself!"
Kong Deming was afraid of Ye Nanxiao. If that knife came down, wouldn't he have another big gash?
He picked up the carving knife and gestured twice with his left hand.
A flash of light appeared, and blood slowly flowed out under the guidance of soul power.
A blood sphere the size of a fist was floating in front of Kong Deming.
"Is that enough?"
He turned to look at Ye Nanxiao.
"That's enough." Ye Nanxiao picked up the forging hammer, held the control pliers in his left hand, and quickly took out the rare metal that had been heated to a glow.
A hammering technique as swift as the wind.
The icy hand on his back drew Kong Deming's blood, transforming it into sharp ice blades.
"This kid, forging and inscription at the same time? That's unorthodox!" Ye Yulin said, taking a big step back as he spoke, holding two soul-guided protective shields in his hands.
Unlike Kong Deming, he doesn't have a treasure like the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.
"It's truly incredible. If this were my student, he would definitely be punished by copying the rare metal forging tutorial." Kong Deming watched Ye Nanxiao's performance quietly.
The problem that had troubled him for years now seemed to have a new direction of solution when Ye Nanxiao was involved.
Ye Nanxiao ignored the issue of the rare metal self-destructing and exploding. He modified his blood forging method and got right to it.
It wasn't to finish it sooner, but because Kong Deming couldn't freely control his blood to transform into a carving knife for engraving.
In the original story, Kong Deming suddenly had an epiphany during the war and figured out how to transform the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield into his own natal soul tool.
In war, injuries are inevitable. Given Kong Deming's cultivation level, he certainly wasn't in his prime and unscathed state at that time.
The Silver Moon Divine Light Shield might very well have been stained with Kong Deming's blood while protecting him, and that would be one of the opportunities.
As for the rest, we'll have to figure it out through trial and error.
Kong Deming watched for a while, then suddenly took action.
"Xiao Ye, start the other furnace!"
Kong Deming's laboratory was very luxurious, even having several sets of forging tools.
He wasn't sure if that flash of inspiration was right, but Ye Nanxiao was right: it's better to make a mistake than to do nothing!
The Silver Moon Divine Light Shield is the only soul tool that Kong Deming has ever truly satisfied with in his long life.
Kong Deming was fully aware of all its components and core magic array.
Creating a second Silver Moon Divine Shield is a piece of cake.
As for why there isn't a second Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.
Ye Nanxiao discovered that the Soul Masters of this world liked the masterpieces they created, but generally only created one.
Because they feel that their hard work must be unique.
Of course, some people are in an exceptionally good state when forging soul tools, as if they have attained enlightenment.
However, afterward, one can never enter that state again, so the soul tool created in that transcendent state can naturally not be replicated.
However, Kong Deming is not like that; he simply doesn't have the habit of making backups.
After Ye Nanxiao finished carving all the core magic arrays, he looked back and saw that the two old men were already creating the other components and core magic arrays of the Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.
"It feels so good to work with top-notch peers. You don't even need to give instructions; they know exactly what you're doing. They're top-notch tools!" Ye Nanxiao rarely had a chance to chat.
Kong Deming didn't even bother to glance at him, continuing to bury himself in his work.
He needed to take advantage of Ye Nanxiao's presence to cleanly remove his Silver Moon Divine Light Shield.
It's still unclear who is being used by whom.
"Old Kong, come here and carefully feel this core array. Do you have a feeling similar to telepathy?" Ye Nanxiao grabbed the rare metal that had already taken shape. The metal circuits on it were light red, with faint flowing light within them.
Upon hearing this, Kong Deming immediately put down the metal he was forging and rushed to Ye Nanxiao.
Looking at the metal piece before him, which resembled a work of art, Kong Deming's breathing gradually became heavier.
The metal, gleaming with a beautiful halo, seemed to be telling him about its history of being buried in the mountains.
Ye Nanxiao pointed to the metal that had already taken shape and said, "You will be responsible for the forging and inscription of the next step."
He simply inscribed the basic loops onto it, building a framework.
A large silver hammer appeared in Kong Deming's hand, with a moon pattern on its surface.
Kong Deming lifted the metal block with his soul power. As the father of soul tools, he instantly entered a state of focus, his eyes becoming extremely concentrated.
The latest novel is first published here!
The hammer in his hand swung up, bathed in moonlight, as if gently landing on the metal block.
Immediately afterwards, the sledgehammer transformed into a streak of light, continuously striking every part of the metal block.
The moonlight slowly enveloped the metal block, making it seem to pulsate in a rhythmic manner.
Kong Deming slowly, gently, and quickly sculpted the metal, and a glint of dark light fell into his hands.
He chose to replicate Ye Nanxiao's unconventional approach, inscribing it simultaneously.
"Old man Ye, bring out the sunken silver, the more the better."
A golden light flickered in Ye Nanxiao's eyes; he had already recorded Kong Deming's forging method.
Although current theories about soul tools only mention "hundred-times forging" and "thousand-times forging," the forging method is unique to each soul tool master.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be a specialized profession like blacksmithing in the future.
As an all-around Soul Master, Kong Deming's methods, if circulated outside, would cause a major upheaval in the Soul Master community.
"Sinking silver is everywhere. It's been taken out all the time. This metal has the mildest properties. It's usually not kept in a warehouse. It's placed in a place that can be seen at a glance and easily reached." Ye Yulin casually rummaged through the messy soul guide experiment table next to him and took out a large piece of finely forged sinking silver.
"Good habits, they're driving Virgos crazy." Ye Nanxiao remarked on Kong Deming's immense wealth.
A finely forged block of silver will fetch a high price at auction.
"Kid, next step," Kong Deming shouted. He had almost grasped the basics and quickly urged Ye Nanxiao to continue.
Sparks flew across the forging table, and the rhythmic hammering sounded like a percussion piece.
Ye Nanxiao channeled Kong Deming's blood, precisely infusing it into the metal block with each delicate tap of Kong Deming.
"Old man Ye, use the molten silver to cover it up."
While immersion silver is a very common metal, Kong Deming required a very high quality, specifically a special alloy. Therefore, immersion silver was used as an adhesive, playing an auxiliary role.
As the blood flowed and the blood forging process began, Kong Deming gradually grasped that fleeting feeling in his mind and entered a state of selflessness.
The metal block gradually expanded, deformed, and layered in his hands.
The blood flowed along the channels and merged into the metal.
As Kong Deming continued to hammer and inscribe the metal block layer upon layer, the sound of the hammering suddenly began to change, becoming dull and the volume began to shrink.
Finally, it trembled slightly, its volume suddenly shrank to half, and a wave-like light flowed along the lines, as if it had the texture of jelly.
Following his instincts, Kong Deming continued to swing the sledgehammer and strike again.
"Master Kong has entered the resonance stage. Ye boy, step back a little and don't disturb the metal," Ye Yulin said in a low voice.
"Resonance, it has reached the level of a thousand refinements." Ye Nanxiao took a few steps back.
"A thousand forgings? That's a good phrase." Ye Yulin raised an eyebrow.
Only by engaging in communication with metal and resonating with it can one be considered to have undergone a thousand forgings.
"What's next, Ye boy? Bloodletting?" Ye Yulin asked. "Old Master Kong has entered this state many times before, but he's never been able to take it any further."
"Resonating with metal isn't enough. To achieve a blood connection and become one's destiny, blood forging is required. However, knowledge in this area is currently largely nonexistent. So, I changed my approach and started by slowly immersing myself in the metal, gradually penetrating it from the beginning," Ye Nanxiao said.
As Kong Deming slammed down the final hammer blow, his eyes gleamed. He felt a connection to the metal before him, a feeling akin to blood.
He couldn't help but reach out and touch the metal in front of him.
"Release your Martial Soul and use your Martial Soul aura to infect it!" Ye Nanxiao reminded him.
Kong Deming immediately released his martial spirit, Silver Moon.
The moonlight shone down, enveloping the metal.
The metal seemed to be scorched, with wisps of white smoke rising from its surface before slowly melting into a silver liquid that gradually merged into the silver moon.
"This is it!" Kong Deming discovered that the metal was inside his body, and it would appear in his hand as long as he sent a thought to it.
Because it has no fixed shape, it is a liquid with a tough texture.
"Don't just stand there, there are still quite a few components you need to complete yourself," Ye Nanxiao said, interrupting Kong Deming's joy.
