Douluo: When Tang Wulin Met Little Huo Niang

Chapter 308 The Magical Effect of Spiritual Forging

"And this piece of metal improves me in more ways than just speed."

Seeing Huo Yutong explaining to Tang Wulin, Xuan Ziwen also added:

"When I was carving this core magic circle, I could clearly feel the connection between me and it. If my original success rate in carving this core magic circle was less than 30%, then my success rate in carving with the metal you provided would be over 60%."

In other words, it more than doubled.

Tang Wulin couldn't help but open his mouth wide.

What does this mean to a soul engineer? Even though he knows very little about soul guides, he can roughly understand it.

Why is the ranking knife so expensive? In addition to being able to add special characteristics to soul guides, the most important thing is that it can increase the success rate of making soul guides.

As of now, even the number one engraving knife is completely defeated by Tang Wulin's forging skills.

And looking at the faint dragon pattern on this ninth-level core magic array, who dares to say that if this ninth-level soul guide is successfully manufactured, it will not have the characteristics bestowed by Tang Wulin?
Even he himself, before hearing Xuan Ziwen say it himself, had never imagined that spirit-forged metal would have such a great improvement in the production of soul guides.

Xuan Ziwen took a deep breath, held Tang Wulin's shoulders, and said sincerely:

“Tang Wulin, as the head of the Tang Sect’s Soul Guidance Hall and the Tang Sect’s first technical director, I would like to ask you to forge more rare metals for me. The price is negotiable. As the person in charge of the Tang Sect’s soul guides, I also have some savings.”

Xuan Ziwen knew better than anyone what it meant to double the success rate. If Tang Wulin could continue to provide him with metals, he would most likely be able to complete the production of a ninth-level soul guide within half a year.

In that case, he can be considered a quasi-ninth-level soul engineer.

This was more important to him than anything else. With his talent, it was already difficult for him to improve his cultivation. If nothing unexpected happened, it would take many years for him to break through to level ninety. Now there was a ready-made opportunity for him to try to make a level nine soul guide, and he was determined to give it a try.

Tang Wulin quickly shook his head.

"No need, Mr. Xuan, I won't charge you any money. I'll make it for you every day. Just teach Yutong well."

How could he possibly accept Xuan Ziwen's money? After all, the soul guides made by Xuan Ziwen still belonged to the Tang Sect, so if you round it up, it was almost the same as Tang Wulin's pocket. Taking money from others to make soul guides for oneself was one of the most unscrupulous people even among the capitalists.

Moreover, Xuan Ziwen is of such high status that it is no exaggeration to say that the development of Tang Sect and Shrek in the field of soul guides depends entirely on him. If he can successfully produce a ninth-level soul guide, it will be a great joy for both Shrek and Tang Sect.

Anyway, with Tang Wulin's current level of cultivation, forging spirit metal is not that difficult. According to Xuan Ziwen's speed in making soul guides, the metal that Tang Wulin forged in one day would probably be enough for him to use for a month.

Helping Xuan Ziwen takes very little time and energy, but the rewards are huge. Only a fool would not do such a low-cost, high-return job.

Xuan Ziwen's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.

At this moment, he felt that following Huo Yutong to the Tang Sect was the best decision he had ever made in his life.

Huo Yutong asked:
"Teacher Xuan, in addition to increasing forging speed and success rate, are there any other uses for the metal forged by Wulin?"

Before, she only knew that the metal forged by Tang Wulin was very powerful, but she had never used the metal forged by him to make a soul guide herself, so her understanding was still insufficient.

Xuan Ziwen's expression suddenly became focused, and he explained to her:

"That's a lot. As you told me before, what he did was simply sublimating the metal itself."

"After his forging, the properties of this golden stone have been greatly improved. If it was originally just a piece of rare metal of decent quality, now it has the qualifications to become the core material of a high-level soul guide."

"And most importantly, when I was carving the core array, I miraculously felt a spiritual fluctuation similar to emotions in it - Tang Wulin, did you inject soul into the metal?"

Tang Wulin nodded slightly.

"Almost. In fact, to be more precise, it is the stimulation of spirituality, which is a necessary condition for completing spiritual forging." The name "Spiritual Forging" comes from the Ten Thousand Forged Living Beings. Metals that reach this level will initially give birth to their own souls, which will produce a qualitative change compared to other metals.

Since Tang Wulin had no experience in making soul guides, he was not sure how much this change would help in making soul guides. But judging from Xuan Ziwen's reaction, the improvement would not be small.

Xuan Ziwen's eyes lit up.

"That's enough, Tang Wulin. You may not know that this piece of your spirit... is called spirit-forged metal, right? With its help, I even have the confidence to make some soul guides that I never dared to think of before."

Huo Yutong blinked.

"For example?"

Xuan Ziwen grinned, his face full of excitement.

"For example, a humanoid soul guide."

As early as in the Sun-Moon Empire, he had been very interested in making humanoid soul guides, but because his own skills were still a bit lacking, he had to give up the idea in this regard.

But now it’s different. With Tang Wulin’s spirit-forged metal, overtaking on a curve is not necessarily a dream.

Huo Yutong suddenly opened her eyes wide. As Xuan Ziwen's chief disciple, she naturally knew how difficult it was to make a humanoid soul guide.

This is a completely new field. As of now, soul engineers below level nine are not even qualified to get involved.

If Xuan Ziwen could really make a humanoid soul guide, it wouldn't be a dream to eliminate the gap in strength between the Three Kingdoms and the Sun-Moon Empire in the field of soul guides in one fell swoop.

Tang Wulin didn't have much knowledge about the concept of humanoid soul guides, but when he saw Huo Yutong's expression, he instantly understood the importance of this soul guide.

He immediately turned to Xuan Ziwen and said seriously:

"Teacher Xuan, please give me the list of metals you want me to forge, and I will forge them for you today."

"it is good."

Xuan Ziwen is also a straightforward person, not at all pretentious. He picked up the paper and pen and began to write with great eloquence.

Looking at him like this, Huo Yutong smiled gently at Tang Wulin, and a gentle voice sounded in his heart.

"Teacher Xuan hasn't been this happy in a long time."

"is it?"

In Tang Wulin's impression, Xuan Ziwen has always been full of energy.

“Yes.” Huo Yutong nodded gently, her eyes full of emotion. “Wulin, your return this time has really injected new vitality into us, whether it is for me, the academy, or the Tang Sect. I feel like life hasn’t been so positive for a long time.”

Tang Wulin smiled and rubbed her little head.

"Don't worry, it will always be like this."

"Ah."

Huo Yutong nodded obediently.

She believed in Tang Wulin.
