Chapter 87: Supreme Set
The Boots were a pair, crafted together and formed as one, making the difficulty significantly higher. Thus, Lian Yun took a long time to begin forging.
Perhaps it was because Lian Yun was free of distractions, focused solely on the forging process with a sincere heart, that the Boots achieved Supreme quality.
Later, perhaps influenced by witnessing the divine majesty of the Azure Dragon in the Yaochi Dungeon, Lian Yun decided to engrave a simple Azure Dragon pattern onto the Boots.
With two pieces of equipment achieving Supreme quality, the thousands of Blacksmiths around him suddenly became restless.
"No way, can you really forge Supreme equipment just by meditating?"
"I think it might be that Master Mo provided faulty materials. If Supreme equipment were that easy to produce, I would have become a Master Blacksmith long ago."
"That's not right. I remember there was a Master Blacksmith who once said that every piece of Forging Materials has its own spirit. As long as you can sense its Spirituality and forge according to it, you can often achieve unexpected results, and the success rate for Supreme equipment would rise significantly."
"Could it be that this master is currently sensing the Spirituality of the materials?"
Lian Yun initially paid no attention to the surrounding voices, but the term "Spirituality" stirred something within him.
Previously, he had only considered that each material had its own characteristics—size, shape, or patterns. But now he realized that these could indeed represent a form of Spirituality.
Lian Yun opened his eyes and glanced at the person who spoke about the spirit of materials, offering a slight smile before closing his eyes again to continue his contemplation.
Rocks are merely lifeless objects; attributing Spirituality to them seemed somewhat ethereal. It was essentially about their shapes and patterns. However, when it came to Spirituality, there was also a personality involved.
Thus, Lian Yun began to focus on sensing the 'personality' of the materials.
From then on, his forging process shifted from relying solely on his own skills to adapting to the personality of the materials and anticipating the appropriate forging techniques.
The third piece of equipment Lian Yun forged was a Tang Dao—not a large curved blade but rather a long straight sword. The blade? Even unopened, it exuded an aura capable of slicing through air, undoubtedly making it a Supreme Weapon.
However, this time, everyone around fell silent, almost holding their breath to the lowest level.
Given that he had already forged two Supreme Weapons, achieving success three times in a row could not simply be attributed to luck.
This was undoubtedly the method of a master, even a Grandmaster.
At this moment, it was also a rare opportunity for other Blacksmiths to observe the process of a Grandmaster being born. Not only could Lian Yun provide them with significant insights during the forging process, but each successful creation also offered them valuable experiences.
Afterward, Lian Yun forged a sword, a spear, and a belt all in one go.
The sword resembled Wu Tai quite a bit, but the long blade had an edge that made it appear far more formidable than Wu Tai. The spear had no special features; it was simply a shaft with a spearhead. However, the shaft bore a long, spiraling dragon pattern that exuded an awe-inspiring and sacred presence.
The belt was also unique. It was crafted from soft iron, and Lian Yun shaped it into a soft sword. By infusing it with Spiritual Energy, it could transform from soft to hard. If controlled well, it could unleash unpredictable and formidable attacks.
Without a doubt, these three pieces of equipment were Supreme gear.
In just three hours, Lian Yun had forged six pieces of equipment, all of which were Supreme gear. This left the observing Blacksmiths utterly astonished.
It should be noted that even if we set aside the current 100% success rate, achieving a 60% success rate with four failures would still be unprecedented.
Such a Blacksmith seemed worthy of admiration by all, even if he could not forge Soul Gear.
However, after forging six pieces of Supreme gear in three hours, Lian Yun felt utterly drained. The exhaustion he experienced could not be fully recovered through meditation alone.
Upon returning to Azure Pavilion, Lian Yun wanted nothing more than to do nothing at all. He idled about, occasionally listening to Meng Yixuan play the piano or sitting quietly with Lan Ruoxuan. After three days of this, his spirit was finally replenished. He then took half a day to readjust before returning to Treasure Shop.
When Lian Yun arrived again, all the Blacksmiths around immediately set aside their work. Many even notified their friends about his presence.
As Lian Yun sat at the forging table to feel the 'character' of the materials, what had originally been a forge with only a thousand people swelled to nearly four thousand—almost like the Blacksmiths of Four Great Cities gathered together.
Among them were several seasoned Master Blacksmiths with white beards and robust physiques.
Once again starting his work, Lian Yun chose to forge a Chestplate that appeared simple yet was actually quite challenging.
Simple because a Chestplate only required two sheets of iron fused together with some openings for wearability. However, the key focus of an effective Chestplate lay in its defensive capabilities.
Thus, achieving uniform defense was paramount; any deviation would equate to creating a weakness. But mere uniformity in defense was not enough; its defensive power was also crucial. This could be divided into endurance capacity, damage absorption, and even damage rebound.
When forging the Chestplate, Lian Yun no longer relied on hammering techniques but instead adopted a more straightforward approach—adding material piece by piece and fusing the iron together.
Afterward, a large piece of material was repeatedly forged into hundreds and thousands of pieces before the actual shaping began.
A large chunk of material was crafted into a big circular ring, then shaped like a cylinder. After that, two openings were made, forming a simple chestplate that was seamless and without any gaps.
Only then did the chestplate take on a form that followed the contours of the human body. Notably, this time the chestplate was no longer just a relief; it featured a relatively exquisite design with a much clearer outline of a Azure Dragon relief.
When the chestplate was completed, all the blacksmiths present seemed to hear a resounding dragon's roar that shook them to their core.
"There’s something wrong with the material!" an elderly man said with a serious expression.
This caused some blacksmiths around to scoff while others looked puzzled, but no one spoke up. It seemed that this elder had considerable fame and authority.
Moreover, two or three White Elders beside him nodded in agreement. One of them remarked, "I’ve heard that this friend’s previous six pieces of equipment all featured dragon-shaped engravings. It seems that Master Mo provided him with materials that are part of an entire set."
"While having the complete set of materials increases the success rate for forging the first piece, it is still not an easy task. A moment's carelessness or even a slight oversight could ruin the entire set."
"Right now, the supreme quality is secondary; the key point is whether the set has any opposing attributes. It seems Master Mo's expectations for this friend are truly extraordinary!"
