Chapter 173 Soul Forging 2
After completing a hundred times of purification, Qiangu Qitian raised the spiritual forging hammer in his hand again. Under the blessing of strength and law, this piece of molten red iron was sublimating towards a higher level of life.

A red-gold light rose from the red molten iron, and the light was five feet high, indicating that the molten red iron was the most precious first-grade quality!
Mu Xi, who was standing aside, was already seeing stars in his eyes, his eyes full of admiration for Qiangu Qitian.

Of course, she also longed for it.

Qiangu Qitian is simply the template that all blacksmiths dream of!
In less than five minutes, all the steps before soul forging were completed, and a spirit of life was born from the metal. The red molten iron was no longer a piece of metal, but a brand new life.

Mu Xi was very sure that her old father, Mu Chen, would not be able to complete the spiritual forging as quickly and perfectly as Qiangu Qitian!
After entering the soul forging process, Qiangu Qitian’s rhythm remained unchanged. He looked stern, and the forging hammer in his hand still hammered the red molten iron in front of him according to the previous rhythm.

If it were any other blacksmith, after entering the soul forging stage, he would definitely become extremely careful, and every drop of the hammer would be carefully considered and the strength in his hand would be carefully calculated.

Metal is too fragile during the process from spirit forging to soul forging.

If there is even the slightest mistake, the newly born fragile metal spirit will be killed directly and turned into a piece of scrap metal without spirituality.

But Qiangu Qitian had no such concerns.

In front of the Metal Emperor, it is more difficult for this red molten iron spirit to die than to be promoted to the Heavenly Forge.

The red-gold light always permeated around the red molten iron metal. With each hammer strike of Qiangu Qitian, the red-gold light became more and more intense.

“Ding-dong-”

After ten hammer strikes, a clear and crisp echo was heard from inside the molten iron.

Mu Xi, who was standing by, immediately realized what it was after hearing this unique sound.

Soul forging echo!

The reason why soul forging is so difficult is that the process is divided into three important stages.

The Soul Forging Echo is the symbol of the first stage of Soul Forging.

When this step is completed, it means that the various energies injected into the metal by the blacksmith have been integrated and can assist forging from the inside.

And many level six blacksmiths will never be able to achieve this in their entire lives.

Of course, soul forging echo is also the most difficult step.

If you can break through this stage, the subsequent steps will be a natural outcome.

After the soul forging echoes, the next step is soul forging solidification.

Soul forging and solidification, as the name suggests, is the process by which the blacksmith strengthens the soul born from metal through forging. This process is neither difficult nor easy. There are many small details to pay attention to, otherwise the solidified metal will suffer performance degradation due to incomplete spiritual intelligence.

Under the dual control of Qiangu Qitian’s spirit and forging, the red-gold light emitted by the molten iron began to restrain, and delicate lines were looming, which was very beautiful.

After a few breaths, all the energy stabilized, which meant that the soul was successfully forged and solidified.

In fact, neither Qiangu Qitian nor Mu Xi noticed what kind of feat Qiangu Qitian had accomplished.

Normally, the metal forged by a blacksmith will carry the blacksmith’s own aura, causing the original metal properties to no longer be so pure.

This has both advantages and disadvantages. A powerful blacksmith will give the metal a higher quality, but it is also restricted by the blacksmith’s own attributes.

Take Muchen as an example. The metal he forged is suitable for fire-attribute soul masters. If an ice-attribute soul master uses the metal forged by Muchen, its power will be greatly reduced.

The forging of Qiangu Qitian only retains the purest power within the metal!
The solidification method used by Qiangu Qitian is neither soul power nor qi and blood, but the elemental authority controlled by mental power!
Next comes the final step of soul forging – soul summoning.

The so-called soul calling is to use the energy injected during forging to call the soul-forged metal, and form a mutual response with it. In this way, the soul inside the metal is truly activated. Soul forging gives metal life. The metal after soul forging is like a plant, while soul forging gives metal wisdom. Although it is only the initial wisdom, it allows the metal to learn to think. What a huge difference there is.

There is no greater gap between humans and beasts than this.

The mental strength required to summon a soul is very limited for an ordinary Soul Emperor.

But Qiangu Qitian is not ordinary. His mental power is much stronger than that of the average Titled Douluo.

Qiangu Qitian directly threw away the spiritual forging hammer in his hand. He stretched out his left hand, lifted the air, and the molten red iron floated directly from the forging table, and the rich golden light around it completely enveloped it.

It is very different from the red-gold light emitted by the molten hematite itself. This golden light coming from Qiangu Qitian is purer and more noble.

“wake up.”

These two words are like an oracle from an angel to the lost lambs.

The molten iron made a humming sound, and a life energy was born from within the molten iron.

“Weng—”

At this moment, the soul has been forged.

The red molten iron, which had acquired intelligence, circled around Qiangu Qitian. A little elf with a fiery red body was holding up its own red molten iron body and dancing happily.

Although he was unable to speak yet, Qiangu Qitian could sense what this piece of molten iron was expressing – its master.

Qiangu Qitian, who gave it life, became the recognized master of the molten red iron.

Qiangu Qitian restrained his breath and stretched out his palm. The molten red iron elf and Qiangu Qitian were in sync and the elf lightly fell into Qiangu Qitian’s palm.

Seeing that the soul forging was completed, Mu Xi also came over and looked at the soul forging metal carefully.

“Oh, how cute!”

Looking at the happily dancing Molten Iron Elf, Mu Xi’s heart was almost melted.

Qiangu Qitian smiled slightly: “It’s okay, compared with you, Sister Xi, it’s a bit insignificant.”

Hearing this, Mu Xi’s face immediately flushed.

Among all the current beauties, the one to whom Qiangu Qitian’s sweet words are most effective is none other than Mu Xi.

“Xiaotian, this piece of soul-forged metal that you made can now be renamed. Have you thought of a name?”

Not all blacksmiths are qualified to name their own metals. Only those who have reached the soul forging level, even half a step of soul forging, and have integrated their own characteristics into the metal, can give the metal a new name.

Qiangu Qitian didn’t even think about it and said directly:

“How about calling it Late Morning Melting Red Iron?”

Late morning?

Mu Xi was stunned at first, but then seemed to have thought of something, and her face became redder again with shame.
