Back in the Blacksmith Organization Branch, Krune was going through the information and materials for his practice.
'Hum... I guess this amount of volcanic spiritual ore should be enough for now. Let's see... I will need the juncture of the sword hilt to be turned at this point and then...'
Once again, Krune started his training. To be a blacksmith, just forging Shields would not be enough. So Krune had been creating several different types of equipnt in the past few days. Still, he found out that his Blacksmith Ranking from Luvile Universe was only considered a Three Silver Stars here in Dalin. Because of that, Krune was putting a lot more effort to advance faster.
There was also another thing. The sa way that alchemy uses fire, so does Blacksmith. So Krune ca up with the idea of using his Purple Fire during the forging process. But it turned out to be a lot more complicated than he thought. The reason was simple, there was a need for a much greater amount of Purple Fire in Blacksmithing than Alchemy! In the end, all the equipnt that he tried to create with his Purple Fire failed until now.
The more Purple Fire Krune used, the harder it was to control. Not to ntion that the temperature that Krune had to reach was several tis higher than the temperature needed for concocting. So, in the last two days, Krune had been trying so simple equipnt to get used to it.
The reason Krune insisted on using the Purple Fire was that he noticed that the materials were lted with greater ease when using it. That made things easier when he had to shape the forms. Fortunately, thanks to the Blacksmith Workshop's electronic equipnt, Krune was able to adjust the temperature to greater precision. He just needed to get used to the output of Purple Fire, and he would be good to go.
Ti passed, and Krune carefully molded the Sword. What a blacksmith of his level would take no more than two hours to finish, took Krune over five hours to reach the sa state. Finally, Krune finished forging his very first equipnt through the use of his Purple Fire.
Krune looked at that Volcanic Fire Ore Sword and nodded satisfied.
'I took a lot longer to complete this thing, but the end result was better than I expected. Sure, it has quite a few bumps here and there, but I just need to get used to how soft the material beca when I used my Purple Fire. I believe that as my proficiency increases, the ti to forge will also reduce. Eventually, I should be able to reduce the necessary ti to the point where I'm going to be faster than using normal fire.'
But there was one thing that made Krune intrigued.
'In the end, it also got a purple hue, just like my Alchemist pills... Still, this Sword is just a common one without any spiritual properties. The reason it can be called a Three Silver Stars Sword is basically because of the materials I used to make it. I guess that because my Purple Fire uses hydrogen, its properties mixed with the Tribulation Lightning ones, which then sipped into the Sword.'
Still, Krune knew that his Purple Fla Pills all had so kind of side effect, so he couldn't help but think that perhaps...
'What if I use so Spiritual Energy?'
Krune imdiately released the Spiritual Energy from his Core and infused it in the Sword. Suddenly, Purple Fla appeared on the Sword!
'Oh! As I thought, the Purple Fla effect also applies to equipnt that I make using my Purple Fire. If just Ao or Arlan were here, I could ask them to give it a try.'
Krune shook his head and put those thoughts away. He then brought that Sword outside and looked for soone who used Swords as well. Although the Wisp Worlds are majority occupied by Wisps, it doesn't an that so Cultivators and Demon beasts don't pass by or live here either.
Soon, Krune saw a Cultivator in the requests queue. He was at the 5th Stage of the Core Formation Realm and had a Sword on his back. Krune could tell that that Sword was at the Silver Stars level, just like his one. He thought that it was worth a try and decided to call him out. At least, it would be a lot faster than go look for Dilo in the Wisp Main World.
"Hello there. Are you perhaps in the queue to ask for your Sword to be repaired?"
The guy looked at Krune, puzzled. However, he imdiately understood that Krune's cultivation was a lot higher than his own, so he acted with more respect. Especially since he can see that Krune is using the sa clothes as the other blacksmiths around.
"Ah! Yes, that's precisely why I'm here. I just got a mission to deliver a few things on the neighbor planet, Wisp World 10, so I took the opportunity to stop by and repair my Sword. The wisps in the Wisp World 10 said that the price here was quite good because many Silver Stars Blacksmith liked to co to this branch to practice."
Krune nodded.
"You are not wrong. Since most of those who live in the Wisp Worlds are wisps, Silver level equipnt is what most of them use. Just think about the wisps lifespan and cultivation levels, and you will understand why."
The guy nodded.
"Yes, I had figured it out already. By the way, my na is Wirenth Loraqen. Is there sothing you need from ?"
Krune nodded.
"Yes. I just finished creating a new Sword, but I need a swordsman to test it out. Would you mind going to the testing field beside the Building and try it out? You can have the Sword for yourself later, I just need your sincere opinion."
Wirenth was taken aback. He didn't expect that soone would ask him to test a new product. He looked at the queue and could see that it was still quite big, so it wouldn't make much of a difference if he had to leave it now.
"Sure. I'm also curious to see what is this new Sword or yours. Oh, right! My own Sword is only a Five Silver Stars one. If the level of yours is too different, I might not be able to get a good grasp straight away."
Krune smiled and said.
"Then that should be fine, my one is a Three Silver Stars Sword, after all."
Wirenth eyes imdiately lit up after haring that. Although the new Sword was a little weaker than his own, he would get it for free. He could keep it in reserve for an ergency or even sell it later for a reasonable price.
On their way out, Krune bumped on Ruik.
"Oh, did you co here to see ?"
Ruik nodded.
"I just have a few things to ask about the Earth Essence Sub-Law. I feel like I'm very close to culmination, so I want your opinions on a few points."
Krune nodded and then said.
"Alright, just give us a few minutes. I want to test a new Sword that I created in the testing field. Wanna tag along?"
Ruik didn't have anything better to do, so he just nodded and followed as well.
Krune, Ruik, and Wirenth only took a minute to arrive there. Since the Blacksmith Branch made lots of equipnt daily, they obviously needed a place to make tests. So any Blacksmith Organization Branch always had a testing field nearby.
Krune then paid the fee for the use of the testing field, and Wirenth entered a Creation Formation. Although it was a Diamond Level one, its function was quite simple. It could create several forms that could resist attacks on a predetermined level. Krune then operated the Formation from outside, and soon, a Spiritual Energy Fake Boulder appeared in the center. Krune had adjusted the boulder to resist attacks at the 7th Stage of the Core Formation Realm.
Wirenth is only at the 5th Stage, but one has to calculate the power behind the skill and Sword he was using. Weapons were made to increase the cultivators and demon beasts' power, so it goes without saying that their attack would surpass what they would usually be able to do without them.
Wirenth assud a sword stance and then charged forward. Wind and Fire Elent gathered around Krune's Sword too. After Wirenth reached the full montum, he used his skill.
"Hell Slash!"
Krune's Sword penetrated the Spiritual Energy fake boulder, and instantly, half of it was cut through.
Wirenth took a few steps back after that and took a deep breath.
"Phew... This is a good sword. Through the way my elents acted over it, I could say that it is on par with even so Four Silver Stars Swords. The fact that it is a Three Silver Stars Sword shows that it was very well made."
Wirenth then looked at Krune and said.
"To be honest, I was a little in doubt about its prowess when I saw the few forging bumps on it, but I guess this is what one ans to never judge a book by its cover."
Krune smiled and was happy with the praise. Still, the test has not perford the way he wanted.
"Try it again. But this ti, instead of only using your Spiritual Energy to gather the Wind and Fire Elent, put so Spiritual Energy inside the Sword as well."
Wirenth was confused by that. As far as he can see, this is just a normal Silver Stars Sword.
"Is it a Spiritual Equipnt? A flying sword, perhaps?"
Krune shook his head.
"Nope. This is really just a normal Silver Stars Equipnt. I did not use a Divine Imprint, so it is definitely not a Spiritual Equipnt. It is just that I used sothing new during the forging process, so I want to see what it is capable of."
Wirenth looked at the Sword. He had noticed the strange purple hue on it before, but he didn't pay much attention to it. But now, he thought that perhaps, it had sothing to do with this new forging process.
"Alright, leave it to ."
Krune operated the Formation and created another Spiritual Energy Fake Boulder. Just like before, it was adjusted so that it could resist the attack of a 7th Stage Core Formation Realm cultivator or demon beast.
Wirenth took a deep breath and charged forward once more. He built his montum and summoned the Wind and Fire elent too. He decided that he would inject Spiritual Energy into the Sword the mont he was about to strike. That way, he wouldn't waste Spiritual Energy, which would help Krune to get a better evaluation of the Sword.
In a split of a second, Wirenth reached the boulder and injected Spiritual Energy into the Sword.
"Hell Slash!"
Suddenly, the Fire Elent around his Sword changed color and beca Purple!
Boulder? What Boulder? Wirenth felt like his slash went through butter instead! The boulder was instantly disintegrated by the Purple Fla! But that wasn't all, his Hell Slash continued forward and hit the Protection Formation of the area that he was using.
The Protection Formation adjusts to 3 Stages higher than the tester's cultivation. That ans that it would be able to resist an attack at the 8th Stage of the Core Formation Realm, just like the boulder itself. Unfortunately... that wasn't enough...
Crash!
The protection formation was torn apart instantly too! Unfortunately, the protection Formation was connected with the Creation Formation as well...
Crack, crack, crack... Shatter!
The Diamond Stars Creation Formation... was gone as well...
Suddenly, Krune heard Ruik's voice behind him.
"I see, so you also learned how to destroy everything indirectly. Praise, praise!"
Krune's mouth twitched after hearing that.
'I wonder if Tiane would mind being a single mother.'
