Chapter 2316 An Alloy

The trio was frozen as they saw Lin Mu working.

His hands moved nonstop, as he kept on hammering and turning the metal rod.

The Rock hammer in his right hand deformed with each strike, an indent being left on its face, but the Dao Embryo floating above him would quickly restore it to its proper shape.

The Red Hot metal rod, on the other hand, would take every blow and barely change its shape. Lin Mu kept on rotating the rod, making sure it wast being hit from every angle and the hammering was equal.

With every hit, he would move a bit downward, covering the entire length of the rod.

The group could see that he was forging, but didn't know what or why.

They watched him for about five minutes, after which Lin Mu had finally reached the bottom of the rod and hammered it for the last time.

~DENG~

A resounding hit was seen while bright sparks flew as the rod was turned into a rectangular shape.

~HUU~

"I tried other methods, but none of them worked with for an arrow that could pierce through the defenses of the Chimera plant." Lin Mu replied. "So I had to devise an entirely new method for it." He added.

"What kind of arrow needs you to set up an entire foundry?" Crown Princess Shang asked taking a look at the materials that were lying around the place. There were gemstones of several kinds, as well as metal ores and ingots. She could recognize most of them, with a few seemingly unknown types mixed in.

"The heat is also far too high." Ziran said, wiping away the west from his brow.

Even with his defenses up, he was still unable to fully block the heat.

"Ah, yeah. I can't lower the heat anymore." Lin Mu answered. "The alloy I'm refining needs to stay at a certain minimum temperature to be tempered. If the temperature falls anymore, I'll have to restart all over." He explained.

"Wait, so the temperature was higher than this?" Daoist Chu picked up. "Is that why you didn't open right away?" "Yeah, it took a few minutes to lower the temperature. If I opened it right away, you'd be hit with a jet of flames." Lin Mu replied. "This temperature is already high enough to melt most metals... just what kind of alloy did you make?" Ziran was confused. "Ah yeah, you can take a look. I did want some input from others." Lin Mu said bringing them to one of the workbench on the right of the anvil.

On the workbench there ingots were kept. "It's these?" Ziran glanced at the strange green and silver ingots. "What are these composed of?"

The two colors made swirling patterns all over the surface of the ingots and were unlike any other metal they had seen so far.

"They're a mix of Immortal Green Gold, Immortal Silver and a bit of Shimmering Sky Trail Titanite." Lin Mu answered.

Hearing the names, Ziran could finally see the resemblance. "Wait... Shimmering Sky Trail Titanite?" Daoist Chu spoke in doubt. "Where did you get that?" "Is that even found in the Rust Sky World?" Crown Princess Shang asked.

"I had a small amount of it from elsewhere." Lin Mu replied in short. After all, he couldn't tell them where he had truly obtained it from.

'Huangyu Shiyi's storage ring's items are certainly coming in handy now.' Lin Mu had obtained it from none other than the Eleventh Prince of the Holy Topaz Dynasty. He had been looking for metals that could work in an alloy with the Immortal Green Gold and Immortal Silver, and was unable to find anything suitable that wouldn't decrease the properties. While doing this, he discovered a small chunk of Shimmering Sky Trial Titanite that he'd stored away in one of the metal drawers. Since it was in a very small quantity, he hadn't used it for any of the shafts and he didn't think its properties were suitable either. This was due to the fact that the Shimmering Sky Trail Titanite was a rare ore that was formed in meteors when they fell from the sky and passed through a storm. In these specific conditions there was a rare chance that a tiny part of the meteor would turn into Shimmering Sky Trail Titanite. It had the unique state of being a Wind, Lightning and Metal Tri-elemental ore while having a special property of being extremely light.
