The black light surged, increasing by a Zhang in height.
The overall volume of the metal shrank by about a quarter.
Originally, Quan Yi could only achieve this level of forging with the help of the Dragon-Phoenix Goddess's power.
After not swinging the hammer for so long, Quan Yi's skills not only didn't become rusty but were even more refined than before.
And the control over his arms allowed Quan Yi to accurately implement the best solutions deduced in his mind.
Rich experience and perfect execution allowed Quan Yi's forging skills to rise to another level.
After completing the spirit infusion, Quan Yi didn't stop; the right hammer followed the left hammer, falling onto the Mysterious Iron.
"Ding!"
Unlike the boldness of the first hammer, Quan Yi's movements became much more refined; however, with this hammer, Quan Yi poured nearly materialized soul power, blood energy, and mental power into the Mysterious Iron.
As another hammer fell, a crisp sound like a mountain spring bell echoed in the forest.
Immediately afterward, a piece of music rang out in Quan Yi's hands.
What appeared to outsiders as crude and barbaric forging actually became somewhat elegant on Quan Yi.
However, this wasn't because Quan Yi was proficient in music theory, but because he had mastered the 'sound' of metal.
Every piece of metal, in addition to having its own texture, also has its own 'preferred' vibration frequency.
Under a specific vibration frequency, the entire metal will resonate, and in this state, internal impurities will be discharged to the outside due to different frequencies.
By doing this, Quan Yi could gently temper the metal without damaging the main body of the metal.
This forging technique, which Quan Yi created himself by using vibration perception, was unique to him.
The hammer sound triggered by the vibration frequency preferred by the metal actually coincided with human understanding of music theory.
The more reasonable Quan Yi's guidance of the metal, the more pleasant the sound.
Thanks to this, Quan Yi didn't need to activate the Crimson Dragon Eyes, because he could control the entire piece of metal just by sensing the vibration.
Huo Wu, who was standing aside, also closed her eyes, and her fingers tapped lightly to the rhythm.
Listening to Quan Yi's hammer sounds, Huo Wu seemed to feel the emotions of a piece of Mysterious Iron.
This was an extremely weak but extremely touching emotion.
A desire for life.
The most important standard of good music is whether it can resonate with empathy.
Quan Yi's forging method was helping the metal release its own unique voice.
The movement gradually reached a climax, the spirituality inside the Mysterious Iron was being awakened, and Quan Yi was like an orchestra conductor, guiding the other party to stimulate their own potential and helping them understand themselves, and also understand Quan Yi.
Empathy through music is a direct and in-depth way of communicating with the 'heart' of a person.
Quan Yi's forging technique can be regarded as a school of its own, walking its own path.
His body danced wildly with the music, and his whole body and mind were completely immersed in it.
The degree of compatibility between the Mysterious Iron's spirituality and Quan Yi's mind was constantly improving, and in this state, the fusion of Quan Yi's energy and metal became smoother.
Finally, a sound like an infant's cry brought the movement to a true climax.
At the same time, two dragon roars came from Quan Yi's arms, forming a high-pitched harmony with it, further elevating the climax of the movement to another level.
A rich aura of life rushed towards them, and the Mysterious Iron emitting black light suddenly levitated from the forging table.
The Mysterious Iron turned into a small black ball, flying happily around Quan Yi.
Creation complete!
The small black ball's affection for Quan Yi made Quan Yi smile.
He gently stroked it with his palm, congratulating its birth.
"Little fellow, things aren't over yet."
The little black ball understood his meaning because it was connected to Quan Yi's heart, and obediently flew back to the forging table.
Quan Yi nodded in satisfaction, and then started the second movement of the music.
After giving life, it was time to open its wisdom.
If Quan Yi was more about guiding it to understand itself in the first movement, then in the second movement, Quan Yi transformed from a conductor to a performer, and began to play his own music, imparting his understanding of the world.
Gold and red halos gradually covered the Mysterious Black surface, which was a sign of Quan Yi's soul power deeply integrated.
When the two colors were completely fixed on the metal surface, the Mysterious Iron's voice was integrated into the music, which was dominated by Quan Yi's voice.
Metal echo.
This was the Mysterious Iron's response to him, and the two performers began to play together, their voices began to merge into a perfect score.
The souls of the two were also gradually approaching.
The ultimate aura on the Mysterious Iron was constantly improving, and finally, under the exchange of souls, it completed another qualitative transformation.
Wisdom Opening Complete!
This time, no soul escaped, and everything seemed to come naturally.
This was the effect of empathy through music; the soul that opened its wisdom had a degree of recognition of Quan Yi that even surpassed the instinct of life.
The metal forged by this method would be much more compatible with Quan Yi than before.
After ending the Wisdom Opening, Quan Yi's expression finally began to become serious.
Under Quan Yi's immersion, the attributes of this Mysterious Iron successfully entered the ranks of the ultimate, which infinitely raised the material of the Mysterious Iron itself.
This undoubtedly laid the most solid foundation for the final chapter of the music.
At this moment, Quan Yi activated the Crimson Dragon Horns and Crimson Dragon Eyes for the first time in the forging process.
Under the blessing of the two, Quan Yi's mental power was amplified.
Under the Dragon Eyes, tiny elements invisible to the naked eye appeared in Quan Yi's eyes.
Fire and water (ice) elements were the most abundant, and secondly, the most abundant was Quan Yi's goal this time, the wood element.
The green elemental particles gave people a feeling of vitality.
But Quan Yi knew that if he directly injected wood element energy into the current Mysterious Iron, it would only be burned to ashes by the ultimate fire inside the metal.
"Om!"
Quan Yi successfully triggered elemental resonance without spending too much mental power.
Red, gold, and white light representing the ice element gathered around Quan Yi.
At the same time, the Dark Gold Yang Dragon Claw seemed to be resonating with the external elements, emitting the same three-color light.
The white light was caused by the ice element imprint, and with its help, Quan Yi was no longer forcibly absorbing the ice element.
The majestic elemental energy condensed here, emitting a visible brilliance, and the three-color energy, under Quan Yi's waving, was poured into the Mysterious Iron together.
Under Quan Yi's control, the content of the ice element exceeded the other two elements, and the power of the ice and fire elements was gradually balanced.
It was also at this time that Quan Yi suddenly increased the output of mental power, and spots of green light emerged in the surrounding space.
The energy representing the wood element was forcibly attracted to this place under Quan Yi's powerful mental power.
Looking at the Mysterious Iron, whose aura was gradually becoming neutral and peaceful, Quan Yi was relieved to pour the wood element into it.
