Inside the Danta Forging Room.
If an outsider were here, they would be absolutely amazed by the lineup.
There were only seven people in the forging room. They were Xiao Yan, the young master of the Starfall Pavilion; the three giants of the Pill Tower: Tang Zhen, the master of the Burning Flame Valley; Yuan Chen, the number one alchemist below the ninth rank of the Pill Tower; and Hai Ka, the chief blacksmith of the Pill Tower. Including Yuan Chen's owl-like fire hawk, there were a total of eight Dou Zun-level warriors.
Looking at the experts before him, Haika still felt it wasn't enough: "Even if everyone works together, it can only be considered so-so. They should be able to reach the temperature required for forging."
These people before him were all invited by Xiao Yan to help him forge the Xuan Heavy Ruler, capable of withstanding different flames and wielded by a Dou Sheng without damage. The biggest problem was: how to soften the metals to a point where they could be forged?
The metals Xiao Yan collected were no ordinary materials, and in the end, Xiao Yan still came up with a solution: fusing multiple flames.
Using his own Crimson Lotus Heart Flame as the main force, with the flames of the remaining five as auxiliary forces, and with the full cooperation of six Dou Zun powerhouses, he melted more than ten kinds of metals, including the Flaming Steel.
Xiao Yan was the first to clasp his hands in thanks to the six people, saying, "I thank you all for your strong support today. Whether we succeed or not, I will repay this kindness in the future!"
The three giants of the Pill Tower simply smiled and indicated that Xiao Yan's ability to curb the Spirit Clan's terrifying momentum was already a huge help to them.
Tang Zhen waved his hand and said, "Young friend Xiao Yan saved Huo'er's life, and now he needs this old fellow's help. I'm overjoyed."
Yuan Chen then pulled out a purple-gold demon core from his storage ring. The moment the demon core appeared, it emitted a piercing phoenix cry, and a ferocious phantom of a Heavenly Demon Phoenix flashed into existence, its malevolent aura instantly engulfing the entire forging room. However, those still present were all experts above the Dou Zun level; while somewhat surprised, they weren't truly intimidated by the phantom.
"The Heavenly Demon Phoenix?" Tang Zhen frowned.
"Xiao Yan, the owner of this demonic core was a top-tier ferocious beast with the strength of a three-star Dou Sheng in his lifetime. Giving it to you is no problem. However, the Heavenly Demon Phoenix clan is vengeful, and I have never let the news out since I obtained it by chance."
"Once this is discovered, the Heavenly Phoenix Clan will definitely target you. Are you sure you want to use it?"
Xiao Yan also glanced back at Haika, who nodded emphatically: "Only a magic core of this level can truly be the finishing touch!"
"Then let's use it!" Xiao Yan smiled simply. "I'm not afraid of the Spirit Clan, so what can the Heavenly Demon Phoenix do?"
Now that the Heavenly Phoenix Clan has acknowledged Xiao Yan as their master, and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, in conjunction with Tang Qiying, launched a nighttime raid on the Starfall Pavilion, the two families are mortal enemies. When a decision needs to be made, Xiao Yan never hesitates. Of course, Xiao Yan thanked Yuan Chen again, after all, Yuan Chen had practically given him the demon core for free. His only request was that if Xiao Yan ever innovated any pill formulas in the future, he should be given a look.
Haika bowed deeply to the crowd and explained, "Gentlemen, I won't go into the details of the value of these metals. I'm afraid I'll only have this one opportunity in my lifetime to forge them, and there's no room for error. I hope you will all give it your all!"
Everyone nodded in agreement. The materials Xiao Yan possessed were absolutely priceless, leaving no room for error.
Then Haika took out a precious jade bottle and placed it not far from him. Inside were three Rank 8 pills capable of maximally stimulating life force. His words were no joke; this opportunity was once in a lifetime, and success would be the greatest achievement of his blacksmithing career—something he valued more than his own life!
Tang Zhen soared into the air, facing the black iron forging platform: "I'll start!"
Nine dragons formed from lightning and fire coiled around his right arm before bursting forth, causing the indoor temperature to rise sharply and the fire to rage fiercely. This strange fire, ranked twelfth on the list of strange fires, had been cultivated by the Burning Flame Valley for generations and was no longer ordinary!
Yuan Chen also activated the fire-headed cat-owl perched on his shoulder. The beast, possessing the strength of a Dou Zun, brightened its eyes, and a wave of fire erupted from its mouth. This beast, carefully nurtured by Yuan Chen, had truly transcended the ordinary, even capable of consuming strange flames. Its primordial fire was Yuan Chen's greatest reliance.
As the two made their move, the Xuan Heavy Ruler, which was stuck in the center, began to change slightly. Xiao Yan had faced a similar predicament before. The original material of the Xuan Heavy Ruler meant that it could not withstand such a long period of flame enhancement.
Xuan Kongzi, Xuan Yi, and Xuan Leizi exchanged glances and then decided to attack together.
Dragon roars, sparrow chirps, and tiger howls erupted simultaneously, and the three giants of the Pill Tower were instantly engulfed in beastly fire.
The beast fire of the three all comes from the rare and top-tier magical beast fire source in an ancient ruin. There is almost no other beast fire in the world that they possess. This is the energy of the Pill Tower, and the treatment that the three giants of the Pill Tower can enjoy.
A strange fire and four kinds of extraordinary beast fires illuminated the forging room, making it incredibly bright, with waves of heat capable of instantly evaporating all moisture constantly surging around it.
Xiao Yan moved his hands, and the Crimson Lotus Heart Flame appeared in the very center of the forging room. He did his best to maintain the strange flame, preventing it from suppressing the other five flames. If he didn't restrain it, the suppression within the flames would render most of their flames ineffective.
With the infusion of the Crimson Lotus Heart Flame, the Xuan Heavy Ruler could no longer withstand the pressure and began to soften at a visible rate. After all, the Xuan Heavy Ruler had accompanied Xiao Yan for a long time, and seeing it about to be destroyed, Xiao Yan felt a pang of reluctance in his eyes.
Haika stood before the black iron forging platform, the intense heat of the flames scorching him, yet his eyes seemed to burn with a fierce blaze. He then swallowed a prepared pill without hesitation, and his aura reached its peak with the pill's effects!
Haika's muscles bulged instantly, each muscle emitting a molten red light, making him look more like a bear-like magical beast.
After Xiao Yan dismantled the medicine cauldron, he first threw in the hundreds of kilograms of molten steel. Among the three rare metals, molten steel was the most abundant, and this was the "bone" of the new version of the Xuan Heavy Ruler.
With his battle aura condensed into a hammer, Haika swung it relentlessly amidst the raging flames, appearing like a god of fire descended to earth, dazzling and blinding. The other six were also on high alert, ready to handle any unforeseen events that might occur.
Just as the forging was in full swing, a piece of news once again broke the tranquility before the start of the alchemy gathering.
The last of the Danta's affiliated families, the Dan family, officially announced its separation from Danta and its joining the Spirit Clan.
Meanwhile, Dan Chen, a genius nurtured by the Dan family, a rare and outstanding young woman who was previously known as an eighth-grade alchemist, will also represent the Dan family and the Spirit Clan in the Dan Gathering.
In the power struggle between the Spirit Race and the Pill Tower, the Spirit Race has once again gained the upper hand!
