In front of the blazing forging stand, a very skeletal skull was hammering away with an iron hammer.
Not only in the forging, quenching, and shaping work areas, there is also a skeleton monster working tirelessly in each area.
Only in the area where the inscription is carved, sits a little blue-haired girl, intently carving patterns on the metal.
"Yu Tong?"
Jiang Yi raised an eyebrow. No wonder this little girl had been secretly sleeping in class lately; it turned out she was doing blacksmithing after class.
"Brother Jiang Yi—!"
Huo Yutong looked up and saw Jiang Yi's figure. Her eyes lit up instantly. She jumped off her seat and ran up to him.
"Why are you here? Did your master bring you here?"
The little girl excitedly pulled Jiang Yi along, talking as she waved to the skeleton next to her to bring over two stools.
"Master? Yutong, Senior Sister Lin'er has accepted you as her disciple?"
Jiang Yi asked in surprise.
Huo Yutong lost her Heavenly Dream and switched to cultivating the Undead Martial Soul. I thought she would never have anything to do with soul tools again.
"Hmm, I think my martial soul is very suitable for learning soul tools!"
Huo Yutong nodded.
Elder Yi said that her first martial soul was somewhat special and not suitable for her to cultivate so early, so he suggested that she switch to cultivating her second martial soul.
Learning about soul tools is also a way for her to understand this world, making it easier for her to modify the necromancy of another world.
The Eye of True Sight, with its ability to see through appearances, also provided her with the foundation for learning about soul tools.
"That is indeed a good fit."
Jiang Yi glanced at the few skeletons busy beside him and wholeheartedly agreed.
He had originally planned to industrialize the area and give the Douluo Continent a little shock, but he didn't expect that unmanned operations were already underway here.
He could already picture Huo Yutong summoning a million-strong army of undead to forge iron in the future—all powered by green energy.
If this were on Earth in my previous life, I would be drooling with envy.
"However, while studying is important, you need to pay attention to balancing work and rest! I've seen you sleeping in class these past few days."
Jiang Yi reached out and pinched Xiao Yutong's soft little face, gently admonishing her.
This little girl was underdeveloped to begin with, and even though things have improved a lot recently, she is still quite weak.
"I know~"
Huo Yutong squinted comfortably, gently rubbing her face against his palm, like a harpy being petted by its owner.
She enjoyed the feeling of being teased by Brother Jiang Yi.
It's like having an older brother...
A brother who would only love her and not bully her—this was something she had dreamed of since she was a child.
During her years at the Duke's mansion, watching the servants who bullied her, she would shrink into a corner, hugging her knees, waiting for her mother to return.
At that time, she really wanted a brother like that.

"You--"
Jiang Yi stretched out another hand, exerted a little force, and tugged at the girl's cheeks with both hands, then smiled helplessly.
"You'll realize your mistake when you stop growing taller."
No way!
Huo Yutong mumbled, her face contorted in pain, her voice indistinct, but her eyes were full of laughter.
The two chatted and laughed, their playful antics resembling those of real siblings. At that moment, Xian Lin'er also came out from inside.
"It seems I came out at the wrong time and have disturbed you."
She glanced at the two of them, a smile appearing on her pretty face, her gaze lingering on Huo Yutong's smiling face for a moment longer.
Having interacted with this girl for some time, she knew her personality well. She seemed gentle and weak, but she was very wary of others.
"teacher!"
Huo Yutong stood up abruptly.
Her expression immediately became respectful, but Xianlin'er shook her head with amusement and stepped forward to pat her head.
"What, are you embarrassed now that I'm here? You silly girl."
Because she was betrayed in her early years, she has no children to this day, and Huo Yutong is being raised by her as her daughter.
Huo Yutong lowered her head and remained silent.
She knew that Teacher Xianlin was good to her, but she couldn't warm her heart just yet.
"Alright, you can continue practicing now! Your junior uncle and I have some things to attend to."
After chatting for a few more minutes, Xian Lin'er stopped teasing Huo Yutong and led Jiang Yi into the adjacent reception room.
Inside the reception room, the two took their seats.
“Junior brother, if you are interested in learning about soul tools, your senior sister will naturally support you. The future will also be the era of soul tools.”
Xian Lin'er sat sideways on the sofa, crossed her legs, propped one hand on her head, and looked at Jiang Yi with a smile.
She hadn't expected that Jiang Yi would take the initiative to ask to learn about soul tools.
Although this junior brother is young, as the master's personal disciple, he is quite important. In ten or twenty years, he will definitely be one of the core elders of the Sea God Pavilion.
With his fellow disciples supporting him, even if Yan Shaozhe becomes the Pavilion Master in the future, the Soul Guidance Department won't have to worry about his feelings.
"These are my insights from over the years, so I'm giving them to you, junior brother."
Xian Lin'er took out a thick notebook, placed it on the table, and pushed it to Jiang Yi across from her.
"Thank you, Senior Sister!"
Jiang Yi accepted it with a smile, but the next moment, Xian Lin'er suddenly grabbed his hand again and said with a slight hesitation.
"Junior brother, have you really thought this through? Learning about soul tools is almost a completely different path from becoming a soul master."
A person's energy is limited. It was only after she became a Title Douluo and felt hopeless about breaking through that she began to learn about soul tools on her teacher's advice.
Given Jiang Yi's talent, if she gets involved with soul tools too early and gets trapped, her teacher will probably beat her to death later.
"Senior sister, I study soul tools only to understand soul masters. Knowing yourself and your enemy is the only way to deal with them better."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
Jiang Yi smiled, but his gaze drifted away somewhat.
Xian Lin'er had just finished showering and was wearing a casual nightgown that couldn't hide her voluptuous figure at all.
"That's good. You can learn how to use soul tools, but at your age, you should focus on cultivating your soul power."
Xian Lin'er nodded, unaware of Jiang Yi's gaze, and simply released his hand, leaning back on the sofa.
"Soul tools are just one means of expanding the scope of Soul Masters. Soul Masters are the foundation. Junior Brother, you must not put the cart before the horse."
She gave another word of advice, still feeling a little uneasy.
Aside from those auxiliary Soul Masters, although Soul Tools are powerful, for high-level Soul Masters, they are just another way to fight.
A top-tier Soul Master wielding a Soul Tool will be stronger than those who use drugs.
"Junior brother understands!"
Jiang Yi nodded in agreement and accepted Xian Lin'er's soul guide notes.
This is the soul guidance notes of an eighth-level soul guide master, enough for Tianmeng to learn. As for ninth-level soul guidance devices, only the Sun Moon Empire in the entire continent has them.
Next, Xian Lin'er began to give Jiang Yi some key points and tips on learning soul tools in the early stages.
Half an hour later, Jiang Yi took his leave.
"Junior brother has gone astray too..."
After seeing Jiang Yi off, Xian Lin'er returned and tugged at her collar, her pretty face slightly flushed.
She was in a bit of a rush and wasn't wearing...
Immediately, she raised an eyebrow, recalling someone's behavior in their youth, and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"It was definitely that shameless, lewd bastard Yan Shaozhe who taught my junior brother some rubbish..."
When he first met his junior brother, he was a shy and innocent young boy. How could he have been corrupted by Yan Shaozhe?
Xian Lin'er pondered to herself.
She should encourage her junior brother to visit the Soul Guidance Department more often in the future. She is capable of teaching him martial soul cultivation.
……
After leaving the Soul Guidance Department, Jiang Yi went to the Treasure Pavilion again to buy some rare metals before returning to his dormitory.
Jiang Yi's dormitory is on the second floor.
The inner courtyard dormitories are all small villas with two people per building, two floors, and very complete facilities, including a forging platform, which should be taken into account for the students of the Soul Guidance Department.
The room, which was covered in dust, has now been cleaned.
Jiang Yi held the Haotian Hammer and continuously struck a red-hot iron block to remove excess impurities.
Beside him, Tianmeng Xiaoluoli was holding Xianlin'er's notes, shaking her head and occasionally saying a few words.
A moment later, a rough blank was formed.
"Phew! It's finally done."
Jiang Yi, shirtless and covered in sweat, looked at the dagger blank on the platform and let out a long sigh of relief.
Forging iron is really hard work.
But strength alone is not enough; it must be used just right, like striking a dream, where you must apply your strength in the right place.
Jiang Yi originally wanted to slack off, but Tianmeng wanted to learn soul tool array patterns, Bingdi didn't like fire, and Xiaolan didn't have hands, so he had to fill in for the forging.
"We need to let Xiao Wutong learn it."
Jiang Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, thinking of Tang Wutong.
As a member of a family of blacksmiths, Tang Hao is a master craftsman. Although he is not a master craftsman in Dou Di Zhu III, he is more than capable in Dou Di Zhu II.
I must supervise Tang Wutong to ensure she properly inherits the family's unique skills!
"Tianmeng, are you sure you can do it?"
Jiang Yi turned his head to look at Tianmeng, who was shaking her head, and slapped her little bottom in an annoyed manner.
This looks quite professional.
"Of course, no problem!"
Tianmeng patted his chest, full of confidence.
She has realized that with her enhanced mental strength, no one can match her in terms of learning.
Give it to me—
With a wave of her hand, a surge of soul power placed the shaped iron blank in front of her. The process of creating a soul tool involves four steps: forging, shaping, quenching, and engraving.
In this era, forging was just ordinary forging, with no great requirements, relying entirely on the quality of the metal itself.
"Hmm, don't you need a carving knife?"
Jiang Yi glanced at Tian Meng.
The carving knife on the table was a gift from Xian Lin'er. Although it wasn't a top-grade carving knife, the effect was still quite good.
"Hmph! A carving knife is not such an inconvenient thing. I've always been a genius. Watch closely, little Jiangzi."
Before she finished speaking, a golden light flashed around her, and her aura suddenly changed. In the blink of an eye, she had transformed into a fair-skinned, beautiful, long-legged blonde mature woman.
The grand dream is about to begin!
