Chapter 349: Give Guidance
After Lou Mu Yan followed Senior Brother Lu into an underground smithing room, she felt a wave of heat hit her face.
She looked around and saw that there was an underground fire in every smithing room here. The pupils of the Smithing School could not only use the power of the underground fire, but it could also help improve their success rate.
Yan Jun knew that the two entered, but he didnt speak. He kept staring at the Saint Treasure in the smithing furnace with his Mental Energy, sweat dripping from his forehead.
He was a Grade 3 Smith, and recently touched the bottleneck of Grade 4, so he had been trying to refine Saint Treasures in hopes of breaking through.
This time, it was also the last batch of materials he prepared for refining the Saint Treasure. If he failed to break through to Grade 4, he would have to retreat for a while.
Senior Brother Lu, as a pupil of the Smithing School, was also a High-Level Grade 3 Smith, but he had no idea that this junior brother was almost going to break through to Grade 4.
Such talent was something that even very few Inner Pupils could match. No wonder the Headmaster valued Yan Jun so much.
He glanced at the smithing furnace in front of Yan Jun and gradually revealed slight pity. Although he didnt understand why the Saint Treasure refined by Yan Jun would have problems at critical moments, but after all, he had not yet reached that Grade 4 level, though he could still feel that explosive energy.
Lou Mu Yan walked beside Yan Jun, rubbed her chin and looked at the refining furnace, then suddenly said: Theres something wrong with your fire control. The fires too strong, so turn it down by a third.
Yan Jun didnt expect Lou Mu Yan would say this to him. He was already prepared for the materials to be scrapped, but now that he heard her words, he decided to give it a try, so he reduced the fire power by one third.
What he didnt expect was that with the smaller firepower, the energy that was almost unable to resist an explosion also weakened. But according to common sense of smithing, his previous firepower was correct?
The Yu Spars contain a very gentle water element. It needs to be slowly evaporated with medium fire. Your previous fire was too big to directly roast it, so it almost caused you to fail in refining your Saint Treasure. Lou Mu Yan saw that he was puzzled and kindly explained.
Senior Brother Lus expression changed, and he asked: But if the firepower of the refining is reduced at this time, the hardness will be affected when its finally formed, and it wont reach the grade of a Saint Treasure.
If the final result was a Saint Tool, then there was no point in improving.
Yan Jun also had the same question inwardly. While controlling the intensity of the flame as Lou Mu Yan said, he looked at her asking for advice.
Who stipulated that the final flame of smithing needed to be a big fire? The temperature requirements below Grade 4 are almost all due to the materials when smithing. The materials for smithing Saint Treasures are very different from those you use to refine Grade 3 Saint Tools, didnt you discover that? Lou Mu Yan had a serious look on her face.
Yan Jun suddenly felt as if he had caught onto something, You mean that the Smiths above Grade 4 all control the heat according to the materials when smithing?
Not only do you need to control the heat according to the materials, but also understand the attributes of the materials.
Just like the Saint Treasure youre fining now. The properties of the Yu Spar and the Bright Jade Glaze are complete opposites. If you added some Vanadium Power to neutralise the properties of the two, even if you used the heat earlier, you wouldnt have come close to exploding like that.
If you dont add neutralising materials, then you need to control the degree of firepower, so you must know the properties and characteristics of smithing materials.
Also, you have to feel the changes of each material during the refining and fusion process with your heart, and turn them into a part of you, as if youre melting yourself into it. Then youll definitely be able to break through to Grade 4. Lou Mu Yan thought a bit then made a few remarks.
Yan Juns eyes lit up and asked: I can feel that the Yu Spar is more harmonious with the other materials after removing the water element now, and the Bright Jade Glaze is starting to soften. Should I increase the firepower now?
Smart. Go to the forming stage according to your feelings. Dont bring in the fixed thinking when refining a Saint Tool. The highest state of smithing is to comprehend it with your heart. After speaking, Lou Mu Yan turned around and walked not far away to sit on a chair, no longer prompting.
Smithing was different to Alchemy. Spiritual Tools came from the hands of Smiths, and each of their attributes, shapes and uses were all different. There were only methods but no formulas, and one needed to deeply comprehend it themselves.
Yan Jun closed his eyes and suddenly, there was a sense of enlightenment.
He wholeheartedly probed his Mental Energy into the refining furnace to feel the changes of the materials in the furnace, controlling the firepower and fusion according to his understanding and experience of the materials. He gradually indulged in a strange state.
Senior Brother Lu was also staring at the refining furnace to observe the changes in it, and his eyes sometimes revealed confusion, other times enlightenment.
Two hours later, the refining furnace made a crisp sound, and a cyan light escaped from within it.
Yan Jun grabbed, and a cyan bangle fell in his hands.
Although the bangle didnt have too many decorations and appeared ordinary, but it had a faint sense of restraint.
Its really completed! After refining this defensive bangle, Yan Juns mood also changed a lot. He actually arrived at a Grade 4 Smith as if it was a matter of course.
Lou Mu Yan chuckled: Congratulations on becoming a Grade 4 Smith. Youre probably the first Grade 4 Smith in the Smithing School of the Outer Sect.
Its all thanks to your guidance that I can become a Grade 4 Smith today. Yan Juns eyes were filled with gratitude.
If it werent for Lou Mu Yans enlightenment, he might not have been able to advance to Grade 4 for many years because he had forced himself to a dead end.
No wonder there were so few Smiths Grade 4 and above, and they generally didnt easily explain their own experiences to others. It turned out that it was because they had to understand the true meaning of smithing themselves.
Lou Mu Yan smiled carefreely: Its all because of your talent!
Senior Brother Lu was also very excited right now. After hearing Lou Mu Yans words just now, he also felt that he had grasped onto something, and he believed that he would be able to touch that barrier in time.
It is better listening to Junior Sister Lous words than reading ten years of books. Even the Elder of the Smithing School hadnt mentioned these essences to us. Youre also a high-grade Smith right?
If Lou Mu Yan wasnt very familiar with smithing, then how could she possibly instruct Yan Jun to refine a Saint Treasure level Magic Tool?
In particular, her familiarity with smithing materials was better than them Smiths. It not only made him extremely shocked, but he also admired her a little more.
I only heard about it too, its good that its useful to you. Lou Mu Yan smiled faintly, obviously not wanting to say anymore.
When they realised that she was avoiding and didnt want to say anything, they tacitly stopped asking. Senior Brother Lu looked at Lou Mu Yan thoughtfully and took this favour of her guidance to heart.
Mu Yan, did you come to find me today for something? Yan Jun asked with a beautiful arc on his thin lips.
He was now certain that Lou Mu Yan was definitely a Smith, and her level wasnt low either. Just what kind of little monster was this woman? Was there anything she didnt know how to do?
Now wasnt the time to ask her for advice, however. When he had an opportunity, he still wanted to find her to discuss the experience of smithing.
Lou Mu Yan nodded: Are you familiar with the commercial street?
Commercial street? Ive been there a few times, but I wouldnt consider myself to be that familiar with it. Yan Jun thought a bit, then replied.
As long as youve been there, thats fine. If youve got nothing to do right now, can you accompany me to the commercial street? Lou Mu Yan asked.
No worries, its my honour to accompany a beauty to the commercial street. Yan Jun said jokingly.
Lou Mu Yan rolled her eyes at him, Its getting late, lets go quickly.
Junior Sister Lou, Im quite familiar with the commercial street. If you dont mind, I can take you both there? Lu Qian said with a smile.
He became more and more curious about this junior sister who had a loud reputation in the Outer Sect. Taking her to the commercial street could also be considered a little repayment for the guidance just now.
Sure! Then Ill trouble Senior Brother.
It could save a lot of trouble if there was a supervising pupil of the Array School take them. Itd be a waste if she didnt accept labour that was sent to her door willingly.
