Reincarnation of the Hero 2

Ch.376 - Basic Forging Techniques

Two months had passed since Xin Guo started absorbing his ancestral Spirit Crystals. That process was indeed a very long time ago but it increased Xin Guo's cultivation over time.

With the Spirit Crystals from the Spirit Beasts already above the Immortal realm, moreover being the Spirit Crystals of his ancestors made Xin Guo's cultivation increase rapidly.

The energy essence of a Half Immortal level cultivator alone could already raise one full level of cultivation from cultivators who were below the level of Nirwana.

What more if it was a Spirit Crystal that had already surpassed the Immortal realm.

Within two months, Xin Guo's cultivation rose to two stages. Now he was at the peak of the late stage Nirwana level, breaking through the Mahayana level a little more, yet he still had not absorbed half of the Spirit Crystal energy.

While Xin Guo was still busy absorbing the Spirit Crystals, Xiang Yang was also still busy practicing Alchemy under the guidance of his teacher.

Xiang Yang increasingly admired his teacher because in just 2 months, he had now mastered refining low quality tier 8 pills and had already started refining medium quality tier 8 pills.

Although it was indeed Xiang Yang who had failed several times in refining pills, but with the guidance of his teacher, he could more easily figure out where his mistake lay.

If it continued like this, Xiang Yang might be able to become a Saint level Alchemist within 10 years at the earliest.

10 Years to reach a Saint level Alchemist was a very short time.

Even Xiao Chong the Medicinal God though, took a thousand years to reach Saint level Alchemists.

*booommm!

The pill furnace burst out emitting black smoke, signaling Xiang Yang had failed in refining the pill.

Nun did not look vexed or anything like that in Xiang Yang's expression as this was his first attempt at refining a tier 8 intermediate quality pill.

Failing in the first attempt is a natural right in Alchemy. So Xiang Yang was getting even more excited.

"Haaah.haaah..haaah!" Xiang Yang gasped for breath because in these 1 week, he had not rested at all.

"Rest first Yang'er," the Yin-Yang God was proud that his first disciple had high tenacity.

Having a disciple was not as troublesome as he had imagined.

It used to be that the Yin-Yang God had never raised a disciple because he had never found a suitable person.

Moreover he thought having disciples was troublesome, so he never looked for disciples.

"Good teacher," Xiang Yang sat down cross-legged, consuming pills to recover the soul force as well as the depleted Qi energy.

Xiang Yang was already quite satisfied with the results he got. Because after entering into the Dong Jian Dimension, you could say he started from zero in the field of Alchemy because he did not know of any resources in this Dong Jian Dimension.

It took a full day for Xiang Yang to recover his condition.

"Teacher, before continuing the Alchemy training, I want to at least learn the basics of the Forging Technique."

For the formation technique, Xiang Yang had already known the basics long ago because he had learned the Soul Seal Technique.

As for the Forging Technique, Xiang Yang had never learned it in the slightest.

The Yin-Yang God raised his eyebrows for a moment before explaining the foundation of the Forging Technique.

"Forging Techniques were actually not much different from Alchemy Techniques. If in refining pills the hardest part was smelting and refining, then in forging the most difficult part was formation and compaction!"

The Yin-Yang God further explained that forging also requires a furnace as well as refining pills.

In refining pills, the main focus is when the melting of herbal ingredients that require expert fire temperature control because each herb requires different fire temperatures for melting.

And when the purification of herbal ingredients that must be very thorough in order to get rid of as much dirt in the material.

For the problem of formation and compaction is the easiest thing because the pill shape is certainly round and density is not too necessary.

Forging material must be a metal or a hard material, so just need to bring out the highest possible fire temperature to melt the materials without fear of forging materials will be damaged because the resistance of forging materials is obviously not like perishable herbal materials.

In addition to purification can be in line with smelting. Where the higher the temperature of the fire, the dirt in the material will automatically come out.

For the most difficult part, it is clear that formation and compaction.

Unlike pills that definitely have a round shape, forging must have a different shape.

For example forging swords, spears, gloves and others. While the compaction section is definitely very necessary in forging weapons and others.

But the density must also be in accordance with the material used. If a low-quality material is made density that exceeds the capacity of the material then the weapon will be destroyed.

And vice versa. If the density is lower than the quality of the material it should be then it will only waste the material because the weapon will be easily destroyed.

"But it's all for basic level forging only. Basic forging is indeed much easier than Alchemy base, but if it has gone to a higher level then it will be different again! His difficulty level could be equivalent to or even more difficult than Alchemy"

The Yin-Yang God explained at length then paused for a moment, seeing if there would be any responses or questions from his disciple.

"Why could that be? Will there be any more differences in advanced Forging Techniques?"

The Yin-Yang God nodded slowly, "of course and the difference was very clear! If the base of Alchemy can continue you use even to a high Alchemy level, but not for Forging Techniques!..

For example forging weapons that have special abilities such as strengthening user element attacks! The main ingredient commonly used was Spirit Crystals. In forging Spirit Crystals must be extra careful because the energy core inside should not be destroyed or damaged because it is used as a core to make weapons have special abilities!..

In essence, the most difficult part in the Forging Technique was making maximum quality with the materials used! How's Yang'er? Do you understand that?"

Xiang Yang thought for a moment before replying, "students understand, teacher! Then I want to try forging first."

Suddenly Xiang Yang realized one thing made him turn to his teacher.

"Teacher, can a pill furnace be used as a Forging furnace?"

"Actually it can, but the pill furnace is too small, you won't be able to make a normal weapon with such a small pill furnace!" The Yin-Yang God pointed his hand at the empty area.

Instantly something that had a large size emerged from the empty air.

*baamm!

Xiang Yang stared in amazement at the 2.5 meter tall furnace and the 2 meter diameter in front of him.

"Where did the teacher get this furnace from?"

"That's the rest of the stuff of the teacher in the past, the teacher kept it somewhere."

"Then let me give it a try," Xiang Yang excitedly took out a Spirit Crystal to begin Forging.

But he had not even touched the furnace, his head was hit by his teacher.

"Are you stupid to use that Spirit Crystal, Yang'er?!"

"Eh? Was wrong? Isn't Spirit Crystal a Forging material?"

"It's true but what are you planning to learn is a basic level Forging Technique with Transcendent level Spirit Crystals which are the main ingredients of advanced Forging!" The Yin-Yang God snorted.

"Ah.. right too," Xiang Yang was too excited to forget about it, "but I don't have any ordinary materials, teacher."

The Yin-Yang God raised an ordinary metal as big as a fist and then threw it towards Xiang Yang.

"Heheh, thank you teacher," Xiang Yang also started Forging weapons.
