Chapter 143: The disadvantage of the Purple Lightning Holy Light Armor, meteorite iron from outer space. Qian Renxue shook her head and said calmly: "Get up, I can't teach you, at least not yet. I came here to learn forging, I don't even know how to forge iron." Lou Gao looked up in disbelief, "But your battle armor has indeed been forged, how could you not know how to forge it." "Yes, the armor I am wearing has indeed taken shape, but it cannot be called a battle armor. It was created by chance and was not forged, so it cannot be considered a true battle armor. Its promotion method is also different from that of a battle armor. Its existence can only prove to us that the path of a battle armor is indeed feasible, but how to popularize it still depends on you, the master blacksmith." "Because I don't know how to forge." Qian Renxue has always been pragmatic. If she can't do something, then she can't do it. She is too lazy to pretend to be strong. Lou Gao was a little dazed by the cruel news, but he quickly cheered up again. Although he suspected that Qian Renxue was just unwilling to teach him, it didn't matter. Since there was a successful case, he dared to create a new battle armor! Lou Gao rose from the ground, and his round figure made him look a little funny. Lou Gao said solemnly: "Whether you can forge battle armor or not, you are the one who knows battle armor best in the world! If you don't mind, how about we be both teacher and friend? You teach me the knowledge about battle armor, and I will teach you how to forge it!" Qian Renxue's lips curled up slightly. This was what she needed. "I agree. From now on, Master Lou Gao will give me more guidance!"
"No, I'm here. Thank you for your help, Master Qian Ling'er." Lou Gao laughed loudly, then rubbed his palms awkwardly, showing a shy smile, and asked: "In that case, hey, can you tell me how this battle armor was formed?" Qian Renxue nodded. Although she didn't understand how iron was forged, she still understood the conditions for the formation of battle armor. However, she did not get into the topic directly. Instead, she smiled and asked a question, "Master Lou Gao, in your opinion, what kind of blacksmith is an excellent blacksmith?" Lou Gao licked his dry lips, not understanding why Qian Renxue asked this. However, he was in an extremely excited state and answered every question. "Of course, a blacksmith who can forge a divine weapon is an excellent blacksmith!" Qian Renxue smiled, neither saying he was wrong nor right, she just said to herself: "In my opinion, any blacksmith who hammers the iron with his own hands is an excellent blacksmith." "What is forging? Forging is completely different from casting. Casting only requires a mold, and a machine is used to press the metal into the required shape according to the mold. This is casting." "But forging requires the blacksmith to hammer it out by hand. Of course, forging can also be done by machines, but metal is also alive. Machine forging can never truly grasp the texture of metal. A good blacksmith is a true craftsman and can create a true battle armor!" "Look at your Blacksmith Association. Except for the master-level blacksmiths, most of the other blacksmiths are using molds and machines to help forge. How can such blacksmiths forge artifacts? Although Gengxin City is known as the City of Metal and Fire, it is limited by this reputation. Most of the soldiers' equipment of the Xingluo Empire is forged in Gengxin City. Due to the workload, it is understandable that the craftsmen use machines, but they are just craftsmen, not real forgers." "Using a mold is certainly easy, but it will also make you lose the ability to sense metal. In my opinion, your Blacksmith Association is indeed worthy of its name. They are just a group of blacksmiths, not real forgers who create artifacts." Lou Gao's eyes became brighter and brighter. "Master the texture of metal, sense the texture of metal. You still say you can't forge! This is not something a newbie can say!" Qian Renxue did not comment and continued, "In my opinion, forging is also divided into many levels. Generally speaking, there are hundreds of forgings. The so-called hundred forgings means that every part of a part must be forged hundreds of times to complete. There is also a thousand forgings at a higher level." "This level may not be difficult for a master craftsman like you. The more times you forge, the less impurities there are in the metal. This is a well-known fact. Of course, the metal must be good enough to withstand the pressure brought by thousands of forgings. Apart from that, it can only rely on the blacksmith's own strength." "Master Lou Gao, can you perform Thousand Forging on any metal? I need to understand your forging ability, which will determine whether you can create a spiritual battle armor." Lou Gao looked at Qian Renxue with admiration, and then sighed: "In fact, the Thousand Forgings you mentioned is the standard for becoming a Divine Craftsman. I can do it. In this world, besides me, only the old gorilla and Tang Hao of the Haotian Sect can do it. But he seems to have become a Titled Douluo now, so I should call him His Majesty from now on." He suddenly remembered that the girl in front of him was from the Spirit Hall, and his face couldn't help but become embarrassed. The Haotian Sect and the old gorilla had a feud with the Spirit Hall. She wouldn't be angry if he said this, right? In order to change the subject, he immediately asked: "What do you mean by spiritual battle armor? What is the difference between it and ordinary battle armor?" Qian Renxue had no interest in the legends that Tang Hao had left behind in Gengxin City, and continued to make up reasons to explain: "The concept of battle armor is actually something I got inspiration from the leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect, Yu Yuanzhen. The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex's dragon-transformation ability is world-famous, and Yu Yuanzhen's martial soul true body is even more terrifying. His seventh soul skill does not transform himself into a giant Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, but instead advances on the basis of dragon transformation! The degree of dragonization on his body deepens, and his combat power far exceeds that of ordinary martial soul true bodies!"
"A truly powerful person will never make his body bigger. I call this set of armor that imitates dragon transformation and can amplify the soul master's ability a battle armor." "As for the spiritual battle armor, the armor I'm wearing can barely be considered a spiritual battle armor, that is, a battle armor that has spirituality and can be completely integrated into the body of a soul master. It is also the battle armor I want you to make!" "The method of forging spiritual battle armor is different from the previous thousand forgings. It requires the use of spiritual forging methods." Lou Gao was listening intently. Since he became a master blacksmith, his path was cut off. He was the best blacksmith, so he could only grope his way forward. Now, hearing that there was a new forging method almost suffocated him with excitement. He quickly asked, "What is this Spirit Forging? Is it an advanced technique of Thousand Forgings?!" Qian Renxue nodded and continued, "That's right! Spiritual forging is different from thousand forging. Generally speaking, ten thousand forging has spirit. Once the metal has spirituality, you can start spiritual forging. Spiritual forging is the fusion of life and metal. It uses one's own martial spirit as a bridge and is the process of giving life to the metal." "Of course, a talented blacksmith can even forge the spirituality of metal in the Thousand Forging Stage and start the Spiritual Forging directly." Lou Gao was so excited that he couldn't control himself: "Spiritual Forging! What a great Spiritual Forging! Master Qian Ling'er! Then what should I do specifically?!" Qian Renxue coughed and said bluntly: "I don't know. The spirit forging I know is just this concept. Strictly speaking, I only know the theory. I don't understand how to do it specifically. I'm not a forger." Lou Gao felt like there was a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat and he couldn't spit it out. It was so uncomfortable. How could anyone speak halfway? "The forging has spirits, which endow metals with spirituality. When the spirituality appears, the martial spirit is used as a bridge to communicate with it and help it shape life. This is the process of spiritual forging. That's all I know." Lou Gao thought about it and felt that he had some inspiration. He could try it out later. Then he asked, "So the spiritual battle armor is made by using the metal that has been forged by the spirit?" "That's right. If you want to create an armor like mine, you must master the technique of Spiritual Forging. Only in this way can we continue the experiment. You can also teach me Thousand Forging first. My comprehension is pretty good, so maybe I can figure it out on my own later." Lou Gao was stunned for a moment, and asked curiously: "You already have a battle armor, do you still want to make a spiritual battle armor for yourself?" Qian Renxue's expression was a little strange. "Because this set of battle armor is not suitable for my martial soul at all. In the previous battles, I always had to accommodate it. I even rarely used my martial soul when using it." "A true battle armor should double the power of the spirit master's own martial spirit. Although my armor has spirituality and power, it does not increase the ability of my own martial spirit. In other words, it is not suitable for me." This set of armor is actually the most suitable for Jun Wuhen. After all, this is a mutant ability obtained from Jun Wuhen. Moreover, it is just a soul bone skill and it is impossible to turn it into a real battle armor. Qian Renxue was once blinded by the ability of the external soul bone to evolve, but the more she used this set of armor, the more she understood its limits. The Purple Lightning Holy Light Kirin Armor is completely restricted by the rules of heaven and earth. Soul skills can only be soul skills. Soul skills are the innate imprints left on soul bones. This is the rule formed after the death of the Dragon God. After Qian Renxue became a god, her external soul bones will become a part of her own divine armor, and the Purple Lightning Holy Light Kirin Armor is still just a divine skill that comes with the divine armor, but it will be superimposed on her own divine armor after use. But the spiritual battle armor is the same as the soul bone. Not only does it not occupy the soul bone position, it can also be integrated into the body. In other words, this is an alternative system of soul bones. Even after she finally becomes a god, her spiritual battle armor may also evolve together and become a real divine armor. At that time, the two different systems of divine armor may be able to be integrated together. What's more, Qian Renxue has not forgotten Hei Xue's Death-Devouring Asura Spider Emperor. Her battle armor needs to be compatible with the two martial souls, angel and spider, so that no matter which martial soul she uses, she can exert its full power. After all, she must get the right to use the second martial soul, just after she gets the seventh ring and masters the martial soul origin of the eight-winged angel! Lou Gao muttered to himself, "It perfectly matches the spirit master's martial soul. In this way, whether it is because they don't want to fall behind or they want a different battle armor, all spirit masters will want to create a set of battle armor of their own. Battle armor will replace rare spirit bones! The value of rare metals will increase dozens or even hundreds of times, and blacksmithing may become the most popular profession in the world." Qian Renxue interrupted him: "Don't be too happy yet, listen to me. In addition to spirit forging, there is another forging method that you must figure out, that is melt forging, which is the technology of making alloys. However, seeing the eight kinds of metals you used on this Eight Treasures Ruyi Soft Armor, I know that you must be good at this. However, forging alloys of ordinary metals and forging spirit metals by melt forging are completely different things." "It is not an easy task to fuse different metals that have life into one." Lou Gao nodded and asked excitedly, "Then when do we start! Spiritual forging is so important that we must figure it out first! Like this! In the morning, I will teach you Hundred Forging and Thousand Forging. In the afternoon, you watch me forge. If you have any inspiration, tell me and I can help you try it first! After we figure out spiritual forging, you can tell me the characteristics of your martial soul. I will choose the right metal for spiritual forging according to your martial soul. But at the beginning, I need to experiment with the metal I am good at." Qian Renxue was also in high spirits. She wanted to create a battle armor that was truly perfect for herself! "Let's start now. You can try it yourself first. I'll watch from the side. Spirit forging must use your martial soul to guide and use soul power. Soul masters are the mainstream of Douluo Continent. This is an unchangeable fact. Even for blacksmiths, their soul power level cannot be too low, otherwise they will only lose strength during forging." "The rarer the metal, the easier it is to find the feeling of spiritual forging. In addition, if spiritual forging fails, the metal will be completely useless." Lou Gao said with a smile: "This is Gengxin City. There is not much here, but there are plenty of rare ores!" "Don't worry, I'm a Soul Emperor! Although I'm old, my soul power level is increasing more and more slowly now, but Wan Duan shouldn't be a problem. I'll try it first!" Lou Gao walked quickly to the iron rack next to him, looked at the precious pieces of rare metals, a proud smile appeared on his face, and then he took out two pieces of metal from the bottom layer without hesitation.
The two pieces of metal were gray and inconspicuous, even like two ordinary stones. Qian Renxue stopped transporting her soul power, and the armor on her body turned into a spot of light and disappeared. She asked curiously, "Is this stone also a rare metal? It looks quite ordinary." "Now I really believe that you can't forge it. This is meteorite iron, a top-level rare metal that does not exist in Douluo Continent itself. It is a new type of ore that we extracted from meteorites that fell from outer space." "I have purchased almost all the meteorite iron on Douluo Continent. Although the inventory is not large, it is more than enough for me to use alone. This is also the rare ore that I am most familiar with." "It has a very high density and extraordinary weight. The most peculiar thing is that this meteorite iron contains a special energy. Weapons forged with it will have a penetrating effect. Therefore, generally speaking, we will choose to use it to forge sharp weapons, such as swords and spears." As he spoke, he had already carried two pieces of rare metals to the forging table, let Qian Renxue take a good look at them, and then stuffed them into the calcination entrance with great pain. Although this meteorite iron looks gray, if you look closely you will find that it has dense dark gold dot-shaped cross-sections. Qian Renxue's eyesight certainly will not miss such details. Perhaps the most precious thing in this room is this meteorite iron. 4200 (End of this chapter)
