Eternal Life Starts as a Hunter-Chapter 325 - 132: The Wedding and Beyond

Li Yuan was no stranger to facing Peak Skills.

In fact, whether it was the peak of the Seventh Grade Saber Skill—City Destruction, the peak of the Seventh Grade Spear Skill—Six Harmonies, the peak of the Seventh Grade Skill—Cloud-piercing, or the peak of Seventh Grade Horizontal Cultivation—Golden Body, they were all comprehended by himself.

But now, he needed to comprehend "Fetal Movement" from "Observing Fire," "Melted Gold," and "Listening to Iron."

This couldn’t be resolved by Add Points; it relied on genuine perception.

To comprehend such a peak, the first step is to cultivate the three "preliminary" skills to Great Perfection, and then... it’s about perception.

However, compared to the comprehension of Martial Arts, the comprehension of the "Weapon Casting Skill" is a whole level more difficult, deserving its reputation of being impossible to popularize and challenging even to inherit...

Several days later...

Master Zhu went over the details with Li Yuan and then prepared for live practice directly.

For ordinary people, it would take even longer, but Li Yuan, being a Sixth Grade Martial Artist, had an excellent memory so several days were enough.

"Listening to Iron is just the simplest way to sense those extra metals within the iron and then use hammering to move them to where they should be.

However, if you add too many types of metals, the process becomes difficult to control.

Even if you can still distribute these added metals evenly through hammering, the fact is... you’ve already lost control."

Master Zhu paused, then said, "Listening to Iron only requires even distribution, but in fact... for a Weapon Forger, even distribution is an extremely inadequate expression."

Li Yuan asked, "Then how should it be distributed?"

Master Zhu replied, "Listen."

He continued, "Melt each metal at high temperature and use force to smash it, letting them go where they need to go."

Li Yuan asked, "What does it mean by where they need to go?"

Master Zhu said, "Use your strength to help them keep flowing, and in the complex collision, they will eventually stop somewhere, forming the most stable state... that state is where they need to go.

When all the metals have gone to where they need to and have not left, the weapon will release a kind of..."

Master Zhu thought for a moment, let his left hand hover in the air, fingers loosely clenched, and softly said, "Boom, boom, boom... very stable, very powerful, seemingly indestructible life, this is Fetal Movement.

This process exists in one’s heart and is one that will never be the same twice, each time is extremely complex.

And this... is the real entry for a Weapon Forger.

If you haven’t entered this door, then you are merely a blacksmith.

Upon entering this door, there will also be an exceptionally special material within the steel, that is... Source Blood.

Handling Source Blood is much more complex than metal, and if comprehended, that is Spirit Communication..."

Speaking at this point, Master Zhu suddenly slightly tilted his head back, revealing a look of intoxication, and said, "Son-in-law, doing our job really gives a sense of achievement.

Because, every time you successfully forge a Spiritual Artifact, it feels like personally creating a life..."

Li Yuan nodded.

Indeed, both [Puppetry] and [Weapon Casting Skill] are extremely complicated matters.

Every time he watched his adopted daughter messing with puppets, he felt as if he were back in school, watching the girl genius at the next table solving advanced math problems; except she did it seven days and nights without sleep, in a frenzy...

Tang Nian grew up in the Puppet Family; her parents were both puppeteers, and their skills should not be low, otherwise they wouldn’t have created the ’Demon Heart.’

Even so, when she created the Sixth Grade Puppet, it still took more than half a year, and she used a ’Grain Avoidance Pill’ to succeed.

However, compared to the extremely time-consuming [Puppetry], [Weapon Casting Skill] obviously places a bit more emphasis on the "instantaneous."

At the same time, the margin of error for [Weapon Casting Skill] is extremely low, so if you misjudge in that instant, there’s no chance for amendment. As we all know, the materials and Source Blood for [Weapon Casting Skill] are precious...

Failing once is enough to cause a significant blow to your reputation and confidence.

Master Zhu took a box containing fifty to sixty types of metals.

He led Li Yuan to a furnace and said, "Go forge iron."

Li Yuan obeyed, then collected materials, ignited the fire, and melted iron...

Master Zhu helped him operate the wind box.

In a short while, the iron melted, turning a glaring red.

Li Yuan stood up, grabbed a hammer, his eyes like lightning, focused intensely on the metal billet, swinging it in an almost textbook fashion, then precisely struck where it needed to hit.

Master Zhu stood up, took a block of gray-white metal from the box, and released it...

That metal immediately fell into the molten iron.

Master Zhu said, "This is Fierce Tiger Gold, which is softer than iron in its pure form, but with a bit of impurity, it becomes hard and brittle. However, added to iron, it can increase the hardness of the iron."

Li Yuan diligently excluded the sound of the iron itself and the sound of hammering, listening to the sound of that piece of Fierce Tiger Gold.

As for the sound of this metal and some rules and experiences, Master Zhu had already explained them to him in advance.

Master Zhu didn’t interfere with him and continued to pick a piece of deep black metal from the box, releasing it...

At the same time, he said, "This is Dark Gold, much heavier than iron, and added to iron, it can eliminate the brittleness of iron and grants iron resistance to corrosion."

The entry of the second metal felt alright to Li Yuan.

But Master Zhu quickly added the third, fourth, fifth...

By the time he added the tenth, Li Yuan was already feeling overwhelmed.

Master Zhu didn’t stop, and by the time he added the fifteenth, Li Yuan felt like he was collapsing, with only a buzzing sound in his mind.

Still, Master Zhu did not pause and added all fifty-five kinds of metal from the box.
