Chapter 95: Soul Material Forging
"I may not dance with a sword, but I will be there!"
Lian Yun felt no particular trust or distrust towards the Xi Men Family; rather, the thought of that Lustful Phoenix made Lian Yun worry about Meng Yixuan's safety.
Although Xi Men Yu Ying felt regret, she did not press the issue and simply said, "Return my clothes!"
Uh~~
Lian Yun was somewhat at a loss for words but still went to retrieve the colorful outfit and returned it to Xi Men Yu Ying.
Thus, Xi Men Xiangyang left with Xi Men Yu Ying, having taken nothing with them. Soon after, a crowd surged in from outside.
"May I ask the Blue Pavilion Master when the Dream Master will perform again?"
"Could you please notify us in advance~~"
~~~~~
A group of experts spoke all at once.
Lan Ruoxuan's expression turned cold as she replied, "The time is yet to be determined. We will notify you in advance. Your names are already on the list; you may send someone else in your place, just provide us with the names when the time comes!"
"Today, Azure Pavilion has a celebration and will not entertain you all. If you wish to consume, please come early tomorrow."
With a wave of her hand, Lan Ruoxuan dismissed all the guests from Azure Pavilion, giving off an air of superiority.
Afterward, Elder Mei, Xiao Jun, and Yao Yun'er also took their leave.
For the three of them, Lan Ruoxuan's attitude was much better. After all, their identities were different; they had come specifically to assist. Although Lan Ruoxuan did not say much, he still saw them to the door.
Returning to the hall, Azure Pavilion instructed Meng Yixuan to sit quietly and reflect, then ignored the trouble that had been stirred up.
Lian Yun felt a bit helpless about this but thickened her skin and returned to her own courtyard. She then sat quietly in the Pavilion, contemplating herself.
This time, breaking through to Ultimate Ascension to Emperor was unprecedentedly fast, yet Lian Yun's body felt as if it had undergone Nirvana. There was not a hint of discomfort; instead, she felt invigorated, as if all the fatigue accumulated from over a month of forging had been completely eliminated.
After carefully sensing her own condition, Lian Yun settled into meditation, focusing solely on her understanding of Forging Technique.
At five o'clock the next morning, with the light just beginning to break, Lian Yun arrived at the fifth floor of the Treasure Shop, where she had met Master Mo the previous day.
However, the original room had transformed into a forging area. There was no furnace, only two black forging tables.
Master Mo was hammering a piece of Soul Material when he seemed to sense Lian Yun's arrival and said in a deep voice, "There is no distinction of high or low among Soul Materials. If you wish to forge Supreme Soul Equipment, you must refine the materials until they become Supreme materials."
This statement somewhat contradicted Lian Yun's knowledge; after all, she knew that in the outside world, some Soul Materials were categorized into four levels: initial, intermediate, high, and Supreme.
However, Lian Yun quickly understood Master Mo's meaning. The essence of these four levels of Soul Material was essentially the same; it was merely a matter of density.
Thus, hammering Soul Material was fundamental to crafting Soul Gear. It was both the first step and the most important one.
Even Supreme Soul Material might have some flaws. Only through rigorous refinement could those flaws be repaired, allowing for the possibility of forging Supreme Soul Equipment.
After saying this, Master Mo continued to silently hammer at the Soul Material. Lian Yun did not hesitate either; she walked across from Master Mo and took out a large piece of ordinary Soul Material to begin hammering. Meanwhile, her clone in the Yin-Yang Stage set aside the Soul Sword it was crafting and switched to hammering the Soul Material.
After some time, Lian Yun noticed that Master Mo's forging skills seemed inferior to those of Sword Forging Ancestor Ouzhizi. However, his strength and rhythm while hammering the Soul Material possessed a unique charm.
In Lian Yun's view, Master Mo's skills might not be inferior to Ouzhizi's; it was just that Ouzhizi focused on the forging of long swords, which gave him a unique specialization.
Master Mo, on the other hand, possessed a comprehensive forging technique.
Since Master Mo did not offer any verbal guidance, Lian Yun relied on his own perception of the opportunity, gradually mimicking his demeanor and posture. Within less than an hour, Lian Yun was almost in sync with Master Mo.
The force of their strikes and even the sounds they produced were nearly identical, creating a sense of harmony between the two as if they were producing a single sound together.
However, for the following week, Master Mo showed no signs of change. During this time, Lian Yun managed to forge a considerable amount of Supreme Soul Material.
On the seventh day, as Lian Yun entered the workshop in the morning, Master Mo suddenly asked, "What do you think constitutes a Soul Gear?"
Lian Yun felt a bit puzzled. To be honest, aside from the Soul Sword, he had never used any other Soul Gear. Therefore, his understanding of Soul Gear was limited at best.
Nevertheless, since it was Master Mo asking, Lian Yun shared his thoughts: "In my opinion, a Soul Gear should be something that merges with an individual's soul and body rather than merely being worn."
To his surprise, Master Mo nodded in apparent satisfaction and said, "This is what we mean by self-advancement."
Lian Yun felt enlightened.
It turned out that self-advancement referred to the merging with one's soul, allowing it to grow alongside personal development and thus achieving a state of self-advancement.
Another scenario was that if a skilled practitioner merged with a lower-tier Soul Gear, they would expend some of their soul energy to nourish the Soul Gear, thereby accelerating its advancement.
However, knowing the principle behind Soul Gear advancement did not excite Lian Yun too much. The crucial aspect was how to enable the Soul Gear to integrate with one's Soul Body; this was the key skill in forging Soul Gear.
Yet still, Master Mo showed no signs of change and continued to hammer away at the Soul Material for another entire week.
Two weeks had passed, and at first, Lian Yun followed Master Mo somewhat blindly in crafting Soul Material. However, by the tenth day, he began to ponder on his own.
Why didn’t Master Mo teach him the true forging techniques for Soul Gear?
Was there a deeper meaning behind the creation of Soul Material that he had yet to grasp?
Or perhaps the forging of Soul Gear was similar to that of regular equipment, but how could ordinary Forging Techniques imbue the crafted Soul Gear with effects that fused with both soul and body?
These questions lingered in Lian Yun's mind.
Unable to find clarity, he had asked Master Mo several times, but received no response. Lian Yun wondered if Master Mo would only speak to him in the third week.
Thus, on the fifth day after the fourth week, Lian Yun arrived with a hint of anticipation, yet he heard no reminders or words from Master Mo. With a touch of confusion, Lian Yun persisted in crafting the Soul Material. By the sixteenth attempt, he decided to make a slight change.
After forging a piece of Supreme Soul Material, he began to shape it with his next strike.
As Lian Yun took this initiative, Master Mo’s actions also shifted, seemingly mimicking Lian Yun. He struck to shape the material as well, but while his movements appeared similar to Lian Yun’s, they were much faster, steadier, and more precise.
