Chapter 599: Jin Xiang's Little Brother, Folding and Forging

Wu Qingyu's control over the yin and yang dualistic fire is indeed getting higher and higher. The spirit in the Heaven's Divine Yin-Yang Order now willingly serves in Qingyu's Qihai Danpan and plays its role. "Little Order, you're doing well! Keep up the good work and you will definitely earn the appreciation of the master!" Jin Xiang, as the first high-level spiritual being to acknowledge Wu Qingyu as its master, naturally assumes the role of the eldest. As for the Yin-Yang Order's spirit that he managed to subdue, it can only be regarded as his younger brother and he even named it "Little Order!"
The so-called everything has a spirit, since it has already recognized Wu Qingyu as its master, the Spirit of the Heavenly Divine Soldier Yin and Yang Treasury doesn't feel anything wrong in recognizing a big brother. Moreover, it is very afraid of Jin Xiang's big hammer, which can almost smash it into pieces.
"Brother Jin, thank you for your praise. I will surely serve the master well and balance the Yin and Yang bipolar fire." The spirit Xiaoling replied, trying to please. Sincere and hanging onto Jin's flattery, Jin Xiang's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he felt very happy. Not only did he have a spirit to accompany him, but the spirit also recognized him as the big brother. The days ahead would not be too lonely, at least he had a little brother to play with.
Wu Qingyu couldn't help but feel both amused and exasperated. Jin Xiang was naturally much more advanced than other Yin-Yang artifacts in terms of spiritual power, and even surpassed them in intelligence. Now, using the artifact as his subordinate was solely for the purpose of being more adept at controlling the Yin-Yang Industry Fire. Therefore, Wu Qingyu tacitly agreed to Jin Xiang's mischief within his body.
The perfect combination of extreme cold and extreme heat of the yin and yang bipolar fire made the smelting of D-level and E-level meteorites very smooth. In the end, six meteorite irons of different levels were fused together to form two fist-sized meteorite clusters. These glowing and soft meteorite irons began to rotate clockwise under the roasting and blending of the yin and yang bipolar fire, using centrifugal force to gradually remove impurities from the meteorite.
This is a process that looks simple but is actually complicated and requires caution. Tiny black and gray impurities are spun into threads like spittle by centrifugal force. Wu Qingyu controls the speed of this rotation and the intensity of extracting impurities, which makes him sweat a lot on his forehead. It indeed consumes a lot of his elemental energy and mental power.
After a few hours, the softened meteorite became even purer, resembling a soft dough in vibrant red and yellow colors that tempted one to touch it. Wu Qingyu placed it on the forging table, signaling the start of a new phase – forging! The most crucial aspect of forging a meteorite is the method of folding it. In theory, the more folds and the longer the forging process, the tougher the meteorite will be when used to craft weapons. Moreover, the patterns on the meteorite will also become more beautiful.
This folded meteorite group also has corresponding techniques, and different folding forging methods will have different chances of successfully forging a divine weapon. Almost every blacksmith will have their own unique folding forging method, regardless of their high or low level. This is the unique business card of every blacksmith and is almost impossible to replicate. As for which folding forging method is the best, there is no standard or any reference. People have been spending a lot of effort researching this for thousands of years, but they have not found any rules. It seems that it also has a certain randomness, just like the war skills attributes bestowed by the divine weapon.
Wu Qingyu naturally knows nothing about this folding forging technique, but with Jin Xiang's guidance, he has a clever way of folding. I saw Wu Qingyu pulling the meteorite lump apart into long strips, just like kneading dough, and then began folding complex zigzags, layer by layer, some thick and some thin, some twisting and some curling. Even if Gai Rong observed Wu Qingyu's entire folding forging process very carefully, he couldn't completely record it, and just as he finished folding, Wu Qingyu swiftly wielded the forging hammer, the rhythm of his strikes also strange, with varying heights and frequencies.
Then, it immediately starts to repeat the process of folding and forging, going through these steps dozens of times. In Wu Qingyu's hands, this meteorite appears to be like dough that can be manipulate at will. It gradually transforms its internal molecular structure within a very stable temperature.
The final molecular structure naturally enhances the hardness, toughness, and density of the meteorite by several dozen times, or even several hundred times. The folding and forging process not only tests the reserve of elemental energy, but also the endurance, patience, and skill of a blacksmith.
Gai Rong looked at Wu Qingyu and she didn't look like a newcomer here to take the exam at all. She was simply a seasoned blacksmith. At first, she seemed a little unfamiliar and awkward, but after a few hours, this young woman's technique became natural and relaxed. The frequency and speed of her changes also gradually increased. "Clang clang..." The sounds of her forging resounded continuously as the sky outside gradually darkened.
At this moment, all the onlookers on the scene didn't feel how boring it was. They were all focused on watching every move of Wu Qingyu. "Jin Xiang, this folding forging has been done thousands of times, can we start shaping now?" Wu Qingyu himself also felt a bit impatient, so he asked.
“差不多可以了，主人您再折叠锻打一百个回合，这宙神兵的锻造就可以进入塑形熔念的最后阶段！”什么是塑形熔念，说白了就是要把它打造成剑、刀、锤、或是枪头、匕首……这要看锻造师的设计，这个设计的依据就是如何更好的熔入念力，念力能够成功融入兵器内，熔入得越契合越完满，成功赋予战技属性的几率就越高，这就是熔念，也可以成为融和念力。
What kind of telekinesis is this? How can the spiritual power of the human body be infused into the meteorite? Is it a grudge or a hopeful longing, or is it the power of persistent thoughts? Jin Xiang doesn't give a direct answer to Wu Qingyu, just saying, "Master, telekinesis is basically something that can only be understood but not explained. It is an invisible and intangible energy of the mind. As for how to integrate it, it depends on one's own understanding. I really can't help you with this!"
Jin Xiang's words seemed to pour a bucket of cold water over Wu Qingyu. How can one comprehend this? If one cannot comprehend it, then they can only be considered successful in creating a weapon, but not a celestial god weapon. In the Forge of Saints, one will only be seen as an ordinary genius who still needs time to cultivate. After all, "comprehension" is the true ability possessed by geniuses, even if it is just a very basic celestial god weapon!
Wu Qingyu coming to the Holy Realm Star is not for studying and reading books. He doesn't plan to spend too much time on the Holy Realm Star. Being a blacksmith is not the lifelong pursuit of Wu Qingyu. He just wants to become an unparalleled powerhouse. He wants to reach the ninth state of the Supreme Void Nine Techniques and become a Saint Emperor level. Then, he will seek justice from Lou Qiang!
