Peerless Tang Sect: Becoming a God Through Medicine

Chapter 41's grumbling seems a bit excessive.
Xiao Hongchen's expression was resolute as he hammered away at the heavy silver, the crisp sound of metal striking metal echoing throughout the studio.

With each strike, he used his martial spirit to sense the changes in the piece of silver, to feel the sound it made, and to feel the textures inside it.

As Lin Nuo once said, the most important thing in forging a piece of metal is to understand it and resonate with it. It will tell you itself how to forge it.

Gradually, Xiao Hongchen became immersed in forging once again, and the sounds around him no longer seemed to be just the roar of metal, but rather its cheers.

With each hammer blow, a clump of iron slag falls onto the surface of the sunken silver, representing the impurities forced out from its interior.

Under high temperature and pressure, and with Xiao Hongchen's rhythmic hammering, the structure of the smelted silver became more and more compact, and its volume became smaller and smaller. A large amount of impurities turned into iron slag and fell to both sides of the workbench.

Of course, it's impossible to do everything perfectly in the first forging.

Even though Xiao Hongchen had practiced many times before officially forging and made many preparations before starting the forging process.

But after all, this was the first time it had been forged.

Some of the natural textures inside the sunken silver were still broken and shattered during his clumsy forging process, but with the Three-Legged Golden Toad Martial Soul, he was able to accurately sense these shortcomings and improve his forging method time and time again so that his subsequent hammering would not continue to damage the structure of the sunken silver.

This is his natural affinity for metals, and also his unique advantage in forging.

Jing Hongchen had entered the workshop at some point and stood quietly next to Lin Nuo. The two watched Jing Hongchen's forging process together without making a sound.

Xiao Hongchen, however, was completely absorbed in forging and did not even notice Jing Hongchen's arrival.

As the last hammer fell, Xiao Hongchen took a step back, gently placing his two hammers on the workbench. Looking at the silver on the workbench, its volume had shrunk by a third, but due to the high temperature, it still emitted a crimson light.

"finished……"

Hundred-Refined Sinking Silver!

Xiao Hongchen looked at the slowly cooling Shenyin in front of him and a smile appeared on his face.

His talent is truly remarkable. Although this piece of silver still has some flaws and is far from being a thousand-times-refined piece, its overall quality is already very high, making it a top-quality piece even among hundred-times-refined pieces.

Using the scoring standards of the Dragon King Legend era, this piece of sunken silver would probably be rated at 85 points.

"Well done! You are worthy of being my grandson, Jing Hongchen!" Jing Hongchen took two steps forward and patted Xiao Hongchen's shoulder hard, his excitement barely concealed.

Even without specific testing of this piece of sunken silver, Jing Hongchen could tell that its strength had been greatly enhanced. This was the most intuitive increase in materials science, and also the simplest and most direct breakthrough.

Even with only a hundred forgings, many soul tools that were previously impossible to manufacture due to limitations in material strength now have the possibility of being produced.

This is an unprecedented breakthrough!
Moreover, according to Lin Nuo's theory, forging is only the beginning of forging, far from the focus. As forging progresses further, the strength of metals will only increase in the future.

At the same time, the height of the soul tool will also increase!
In this way, the pie that Lin Nuo painted for Xiao Hongchen was no longer just a pie. As long as Xiao Hongchen continued to push the level of forging and forged metals of higher quality, he could truly become the second father of soul tools after Kong Deming.

No, his prestige is no less than that of Kong Deming, after all, he represents an era.

"Thank you, Arno." Xiao Hongchen smiled at his grandfather, then turned to Lin Nuo and thanked him sincerely.

Although he was the one who forged it, Xiao Hongchen understood that both the ideas and the theories were provided by Lin Nuo; he was merely an agent. Lin Nuo simply waved his hand: "We're brothers."

Seeing the harmonious relationship between the two of them, Jing Hongchen felt extremely gratified. He now felt more and more that bringing Lin Nuo back from the Jingyang Mountains was the best decision he had ever made in his life.

“Now that forging has been proven to be feasible, what you need to do next is to continuously deduce forging methods that make the metal purer and tougher. It’s a tough task, so you need to put in a lot of effort,” Jing Hongchen said.

Lin Nuo and Xiao Hongchen exchanged a glance and nodded simultaneously.

Jing Hongchen promoted the advancement of forging for the development of soul tools, while Lin Nuo spared no effort in promoting forging in order to develop battle armor.

The minimum requirement for manufacturing battle armor is a thousand-times-refined metal, and it is only a hundred-times-refined metal. At this rate, although it is difficult to produce battle armor in this competition, it is definitely possible in the next competition.

As for the connection of the magic arrays in the battle armor...

This was not impossible during the Douluo Continent II: The Peerless Tang Sect era. In fact, the Level 6 Soul Guidance Armor that Meng Hongchen took out was already the prototype of the Battle Armor Formation. Not to mention that Kong Deming also had information on the formation of humanoid soul guidance devices.

In the later stages of the Sun Moon Empire, the Royal Soul Master Corps was explicitly equipped with humanoid soul tools, which were sufficient to amplify the soul power of soul masters by two to three levels.

This was already the prototype of the battle armor.

Lin Nuo naturally had to start preparing to make battle armor for himself. Why not make himself stronger?

After Jing Hongchen left.

The two once again immersed themselves in the world of forging. Not only did Xiao Hongchen begin to deduce more advanced forging methods, but Lin Nuo also learned forging knowledge under Xiao Hongchen's guidance and began to try it himself.

Moreover, after leaving, Jing Hongchen returned to his laboratory to try forging.

Of course, within the entire Sun Moon Empire, only these three are deeply involved in the research and development of forging. After all, this is a cutting-edge theory, and they have only just begun to explore it, so it is not suitable for widespread dissemination.

Jing Hongchen didn't even tell Kong Deming.

this side.

Lin Nuo was also exploring.

After hearing Xiao Hongchen's words, Lin Nuo was actually a little surprised, because according to him, during the hundred-times-forging process, he was actually able to feel the metal texture that only the thousand-times-forging realm could feel.

It's only because his own skills are insufficient that he cannot achieve the thousand-fold refinement.

As far as Xiao Hongchen was concerned, he himself was unaware of these things, nor did he know that he had actually reached the edge of the Thousand Refinements stage.

When it reaches the Thousand Refinements stage, the forging process now requires the addition of mental forging. By resonating with the metal, one can perceive the metal's emotions and treat it as a living being. Xiao Hongchen, with its maximum affinity for metal, has undoubtedly achieved this.

Perhaps soon he will be able to reach the Thousand Refinements Realm.

Forged into truly refined metal.
