Douluo Continent: Becoming the God of Nature Starting from Farming

Soon, Old Wang had prepared all the materials and asked Xiao Ze to go aside so he could begin the crafting process seriously.

The silver wind iron is placed in the soul guide furnace and melted into a liquid state at high temperature, then poured into a slender sword mold.

Once cooled to a semi-solid state, repeatedly forge it with the Soul Power Hammer to ensure a uniform internal structure.

Ding ding ding—

Old Master Wang's forging sounds wonderful; he's a clearly highly skilled craftsman.

Finally, the blade is polished until it is as thin as a cicada's wing, ensuring that the weight of the sword does not exceed 1.2 kilograms.

This is the most basic step in forging the sword blade.

In fact, a Soul Master doesn't necessarily need to know all the steps, but they absolutely must know how to carve the core magic array.

Forging a sword like this can be directly handled by a blacksmith, who specializes in this.

Then Old Wang took out the soul-guided inscription knife he had just forged.

The first challenge was to begin carving the "Wind Acceleration" magic circle along the spine of the sword.

Although the first-order magic array is simple, "Wind Acceleration" needs to balance speed and stability. Even a slight deviation in the pattern will cause the soul power to dissipate.

The "Wind Acceleration" array has a total of 12 main circuits, which ensure that the flow of soul power is unimpeded.

At the end of the sword, there are three soul power buffer nodes to prevent energy overload.

Besides the "Wind Acceleration" magic circle, there is also a rather useless "Lightness" magic circle, which can reduce air resistance when the sword is swung.

Old Wang was extremely serious when he was engraving these patterns, and Xiao Ze didn't dare to make a sound.

This is a crucial step in making a soul tool; if you can get it right, the soul tool will be more than halfway to success.

The error of each line must not exceed the standard; otherwise, the sword body must be recast, which is equivalent to rendering it useless.

It took a full fifteen minutes for Mr. Wang to complete the engraving of the pattern.

Xiao Ze gave Old Wang a thumbs up.

Old Wang nodded slightly, rested for a while, and continued.

Although he was a very skilled blacksmith, this was his first time making this type of soul tool, so he naturally needed to be extremely careful.

This time, he's much more serious about it than when he was creating powerful weapons.

How can those weapons compare to these soul-guided devices?

It's all garbage.

The third step is to inlay fluorescent stones.

The magic array patterns on the Firefly Sword are not engraved on the gemstone, but the gemstone is a crucial step in connecting the main circuit of the core magic array, so it cannot be damaged.

Chapter 163 The Birth of a Soul Master

Master Wang inlaid the fluorescent stone into the groove of the sword spine and the groove at the end of the hilt, and connected it to the array with a special kind of silk thread.

This is the second difficulty of the Firefly Sword: the fluorescent stone and the silver wind iron have conflicting properties and need to be isolated with special silk threads, otherwise it will interfere with the wind attribute effect.

With this step completed, Elder Wang has finished 99% of the soul tool production.

Xiao Ze was finally relieved.

All that's left are the final few steps and some debugging.

The hilt was secured by wrapping it with the leather of the Wind-Patterned Beast, ensuring that soul power could be transmitted through the leather when held.

"Hahaha, it's done!" Boss Wang laughed.

"It's good that it's a success." Xiao Ze also immediately came up to admire the first soul tool.

The Firefly Sword combines lightness and elegance, its blade resembling a flowing moonlight with a faint blue glow, making it somewhat like a work of art.

It is entirely silver-white, with an extremely thin blade, only 2 millimeters thick, and its sharp edges reflect a cold, gleaming light under illumination.

The inlaid fluorescent stones, like crystals, emit an icy blue glow in the dark, illuminating a three-foot radius around the sword.

"This soul tool is really beautiful."

"It is indeed beautiful. Although it's not very powerful, good looks are a kind of strength. There are some other powerful and beautiful soul tools later. I'll study them and forge one for you. You're a Soul Master now, so using a fourth-tier soul tool shouldn't be a problem. I just don't know if I can forge one," Elder Wang said.

"Of course we can. Old Wang, you should know that you are the number one blacksmith in Douluo Continent. No one like Tang Hao can beat you. Although this is not a new-era soul tool, if we can spread it, Old Wang, your name will definitely be recorded in the history books of the continent."

Upon hearing this, Old Wang felt his body heat up, a feeling he had never experienced before.

"You're right! I'm the only blacksmith in a hundred years, even a thousand years, to have created an offensive soul tool. I will definitely make a good soul tool and make a name for myself in history!"

Xiao Ze smiled and nodded; the psychological manipulation had succeeded.

For a blacksmith, craftsmanship isn't necessarily the most important thing; it could also be about making a name for oneself.

Who wouldn't want their name to be associated with soul tools in future generations?

Don't you want to?

"Come on, Xiao Ze, try out the Flowing Firefly Sword. You'll be featured in history books someday," Old Wang said excitedly.

"Good, good." Xiao Ze didn't expect Old Wang to be so excited.

Xiao Ze gripped the Flowing Firefly Sword and casually swung it.

In its normal state, when the blade slices through the air, it leaves a faint silver afterimage.

Without its main soul power, the Flowing Firefly Sword is essentially just a slightly more powerful ordinary weapon. If it encounters someone else's martial soul, it might just crack.

After all, although the materials of the Firefly Sword are good, it is too thin.

After activating the "Wind Acceleration" formation, the afterimage turned bluish-white, accompanied by a faint whistling sound.

Most importantly, Xiao Ze's attack speed has increased dramatically, although it has also consumed more soul power, but it's worth it.

"The Flowing Firefly Sword is only a first-tier soul tool, so its effects are somewhat limited," Elder Wang said.

"That's really impressive, Elder Wang. You're amazing! You actually created a soul tool on your very first try. Future soul tool masters will probably have to call you the Father of Soul Tools."

Upon hearing this, Old Wang couldn't suppress the upward curve of his lips.

Oh dear, Xiao Ze is really good at talking. What do you mean by "father of soul tools"? I can't accept that title.

Haha~~~~

Xiao Ze couldn't help but laugh when he saw Wang Lao's expression. However, Wang Lao was indeed amazing; his soul tools were crafted in a completely different way than other weapons.

It's truly amazing that he was able to create it on his first try; it's no exaggeration.

"Old Wang, from now on you should focus on studying soul tools, and also research how to mass-produce them. Soul tools are more effective when used in the military."

"Just go to the Glazed Glass Merchant Guild in Tiandou City and ask for any materials you need. Just mention my name."

"It seems your girlfriend has a high status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. She can use the Glazed Tile Merchant Guild's materials at will. Could she be the daughter of the current sect leader?" Old Wang asked curiously.

After all, the Glazed Glass Merchant Guild is the merchant guild of the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Sect, and everything inside is of high quality. Many times, Elder Wang has wanted to buy materials from there, but they are indeed quite expensive.

Xiao Ze nodded: "That's right, Rongrong is Uncle Ning's daughter, and also the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Hiss... Kid, you've really found yourself living off a good woman." Old Wang even had a hint of envy in his eyes.

If I could live off a woman like that, wouldn't I be able to have as much material as I wanted?

"I'm not just a freeloader." Xiao Ze shrugged. He was the one who provided the martial soul evolution for Uncle Ning.

They are a good match in terms of social standing.

"That's true. You have great talent. You're already a Soul Master at this age. Moreover, these Soul Tools are very suitable for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. The strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will rise several levels further." Old Wang laughed.

"Old Wang, I'll be going now. I need to show the Flowing Firefly Sword to Rongrong and the others."

After saying that, Xiao Ze left.

"Tsk...what a Casanova."

Old Wang shook his head and continued studying his soul tool. Now that he had countless materials, he had to improve his methods.

My soul power also needs to be improved.

I will become the first ninth-tier Soul Master, and within the next ten thousand years, my name, Elder Wang, will surely resound throughout the continent.

"No way... I'm going to redo the family tree right now. Forget about starting a new page, I'm going to start a whole new one!"

Without hesitation, Old Wang took immediate action.

Little did he know, he was the only one left in his family.

Xiao Ze returned to the villa soon.

Back at the villa entrance, Xiao Ze slowed his pace.

On the soft sofa, several slender figures intertwined.

Ning Rongrong and the other girls simply hugged each other and fell asleep.

Ning Rongrong lay on her side on the outermost side, her arm gently resting on Dugu Yan's waist, her pink lips slightly parted, her breathing even.

Dugu Yan was half-curled up, her long hair spread out, her usual cold and aloof temperament completely gone at this moment. Her cheek was pressed against Meng Yiran's shoulder, sleeping without any guard, and there was even a trace of crystal on the corner of her mouth.

Zhu Zhuqing was the most domineering among them, practically lying on top of Ye Lingling with her arms wrapped around her.

Ye Lingling was the calmest.

Xiao Ze smiled as he looked at the sleeping postures of the group.

As he slowly walked over, Xiao Ze really wanted to record the sleeping positions of the group, but there was no such recording equipment available.

I wonder if Elder Wang can research this type of soul tool. If he can, that would be really interesting.

"Hey, Rongrong, wake up." Xiao Ze patted Ning Rongrong's shoulder.

Ning Rongrong's long eyelashes trembled like butterfly wings, and her eyes opened slightly.

"Mmm... Xiao Ze, kiss me~~"

Chapter 164 Ning Rongrong's Sword Dance

Ning Rongrong pouted her pink lips slightly.
