"In future cultivation, I do not wish to be questioned."
Su Ming stopped his forging actions and looked at A Yin.
"I need your Spirit Ring, but your Spirit Ring is not essential for me. On the contrary, my research is crucial for you. Understand?"
The Blue Silver Emperor that A Yin had transformed into hurriedly nodded.
"Try fusing with this piece of Spirit Refined iron."
A Yin was stunned.
She let the iron block Su Ming threw hit her body without moving.
What is this?
Spirit Refined metal?
The Spirit Refined metal that her husband risked danger just to catch a glimpse of, this Su Ming actually tossed to her so casually.
A Yin's heart began to change imperceptibly.
A strange impression that 'Su Ming is amazing' was unknowingly branded in her heart.
"Spirit Refined iron... this couldn't be forged from the most ordinary iron, could it?" A Yin lifted the iron block, straightening her bent 'waist' as if rising from a prone position.
"The purest metal, without any other characteristics. This is my latest research result. After fusing with it, try to integrate your own origin into it."
This piece of Spirit Refined iron was developed by Su Ming combining techniques from three eras.
First, it used his Spirit Infusion Technique, but did not utilize a Spirit Soul. Instead, his Douluo 3 self collected technical data on artificial spirit souls from the Spirit Transmission Pagoda, imitating artificial spirit souls. Using the life in this Ice Fire Two Eyes as a base and the interwoven power of ice and fire, he skipped the 'spirit soul' stage in artificial spirit souls and directly performed Spirit Infusion.
Secondly, during the forging process, no power other than spirituality contaminated it; Su Ming didn't even use his Qi and Blood.
It was precisely because of these two points that this piece of Spirit Refined iron was extremely pure.
This was the container prepared for A Yin.
To let her integrate her origin into the container, and then become the spirit of the metal.
Then, Su Ming could attempt an alternative form of forging.
He couldn't achieve Soul Refinement for now, but he could continuously refine within Spirit Refinement.
A Yin hesitated slightly. She originally wanted to ask, but remembering the silent treatment she suffered after refuting last time, she gave up on unnecessary questions and silently began fusing with this piece of Spirit Refined iron.
"This piece of metal can now be called Blue Silver Emperor Iron."
After the fusion was complete, Su Ming had A Yin take out the Blue Silver Emperor Iron that had integrated into her body.
A Yin complied.
When she fused with this Spirit Refined metal, she felt her cultivation increase.
As long as she completely absorbed the spirituality within the metal, her cultivation would increase by at least a thousand years.
If there were more of this metal, and she fully digested the spirituality within them, it would absolutely be possible to reach fifty thousand years of cultivation within half a year!
This was simply...
Too incredible.
Of course, the prerequisite was sufficient metal.
A Yin looked at Su Ming expectantly.
Begging to be fed.
Su Ming knew what A Yin was thinking and coldly instructed, "If you have a brain, control yourself for me. Don't devour the spirituality."
Forging such a pure piece of Spirit Refined iron wasn't easy. Su Ming had no intention of becoming A Yin's personal chef from now on.
Put simply, he was the one using A Yin now, not becoming her worker.
A second piece of Spirit Refined iron?
Don't even think about it.
"From now on, every day, I will hammer you for one hour, channeling the power of this Ice Fire Two Eyes into your body to help the spirituality of this Spirit Refined Blue Silver Emperor Iron grow, while also nurturing your power. This is a win-win situation for you and this Blue Silver Emperor Iron."
A Yin uttered an "Oh" and resisted the temptation, refraining from devouring the spirituality.
From then on, every day, Su Ming would forge the Blue Silver Emperor Iron, hammering it.
Because it was integrated with A Yin and their origins were connected, A Yin indirectly endured these hammerings.
Amidst the pain, life vitality continuously surged into her body. The process of the ice and fire powers scorching and damaging her Blue Silver origin was even weakened by Su Ming's hammering.
The destructive power of the ice and fire forces was fatal to the Blue Silver Emperor.
Both ice and fire had strong restraining effects on plant-type Spirit Beasts.
However, Su Ming's forging eliminated this destruction, changing the way the two forces integrated into A Yin, continuously tempering her and the life vitality integrated into her body, transforming it into stable Spirit Power cultivation.
After one month, A Yin expressed that she couldn't do without Su Ming.
If she wasn't hammered for an hour, she felt uncomfortable all over.
After another month, A Yin proactively requested to extend the hammering time.
Su Ming refused.
Another month later, A Yin knelt, begging Su Ming to help her return to the hundred-thousand-year cultivation level, only to be mercilessly stripped out of the Blue Silver Emperor Iron by Su Ming.
"This should be enough to replenish the origin missing from the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone."
Su Ming took out that Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, which A Yin had absorbed energy from, boosting her cultivation to the ten-thousand-year level in just three months.
Because A Yin had absorbed from it, the origin of this Right Leg Bone was somewhat damaged. However, for Su Ming, this wasn't bad news but rather very good news.
"That lackluster 'Flight' Spirit Skill can be modified now."
Su Ming integrated the Blue Silver Emperor Iron into the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
Because it had once merged with A Yin's origin, this Blue Silver Emperor Iron integrated very smoothly into the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
Following a snap of Su Ming's fingers, the Blue Silver Emperor Iron shattered accordingly.
No matter how astonishing Su Ming's forging technique was, it was ultimately just ordinary iron; Spirit Refinement was its limit.
Now, it finally couldn't hold on anymore. Its form shattered, causing the spirituality inside to begin dispersing.
At this moment, this spiritual origin was captured by the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone.
Watching this scene, A Yin couldn't help but tremble.
This piece of metal had reached its limit?
She had no idea at all.
If this piece of metal had remained inside her, and the metal shattered, wouldn't she have shattered along with it?
Because she was in a state of origin fusion with this metal just moments ago.
Realizing this, A Yin regretted showing dissatisfaction earlier.
"I'm sorry."
Su Ming didn't pay her any mind, just stared at the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, waiting for the origin inside to devour the spirituality.
Naturally, some spirituality overflowed during the process. A Yin's gaze occasionally drifted towards this overflowing spirituality, wanting to absorb these wasted bits. But without Su Ming's permission, she didn't dare act rashly.
Months of conditioning had completely molded her behavior into one of submission.
After all, she was destined to become a Spirit Ring, to be controlled by Su Ming.
She had convinced herself of this more than once, and now it had become a habit.
"Pity, it's still a bit short. Looks like we'll have to do it again."
Su Ming picked up the Blue Silver Emperor Right Leg Bone, carefully sensed it, and sighed.
Destruction is easy, repair is difficult.
A Yin absorbing the bone's origin only increased her cultivation by ten thousand years, yet the spiritual origin this bone just absorbed was more than enough to help a Spirit Beast increase its cultivation by ten thousand years?
Twenty thousand would be enough.
And it was still a bit short.
Su Ming looked at A Yin and tossed out a new piece of metal.
This time, it wasn't a Spirit Refined iron block, but an iron block at the Thousand Refinement level.
"This is a Thousand Refined Sacred Grade iron block. It cannot integrate into your body, but if you fuse with it now, you can experience a sense of sublimation you couldn't during the previous forging."
