The entire Dvesha Moha was like a giant hearth.
Every breath that was exhaled inside the building felt like it could catch fire, yet why would Tang Ling leave?
Even though he despised Boss Huang’s character, he never doubted the boss’s capabilities. Being able to witness Boss Huang’s smithing was a rare opportunity.
Boss Huang picked the dagger up for a closer check. Then, he put the dagger beside the hearth and picked a hammer from the wall of tools. It was the superalloy hammer that Tang Ling had tried to lift with all his might back then but did not even budge.
As he lightly hammered the strange rock attached to the dagger, he asked, “Where is this dagger from?”
Tang Ling glued his eyes to Boss Huang’s hammering methods and answered, “From the storeroom of the Agnes family.”
Boss Huang did not respond differently as he continued hammering the rock. The little cracks on the rock slowly got bigger and it was soon on the brink of breaking down.
“A little family in Safety Sector No. 17? Lucky you.”
That was Boss Huang’s comment on the dagger, but was it really lucky? The whole Agnes family had been wiped out by Tang Ling.
Tang Ling had always been curious about the rock and since Boss Huang decided to go all out, he seized the chance to ask, “What’s that?”
“During the drastic shift into the Purple Moon era, the bugs benefit the most, followed by the plants. You should know plants are known as vicious plants when they evolve to a certain level, but it’s just a general name,” said Boss Huang flatly. He looked unusually cool and handsome when he worked.
Then, a small stone was chipped off the strange rock attached to the dagger. He tossed the little stone into the fire without even looking at it.
The fire in the heart burned fiercely while the temperature was extremely high. The moment the little stone was tossed into the fire, it already showed signs of melting.
Boss Huang picked up a pair of tongs and moved the little stone around.
Tang Ling then answered, “After reading ‘The Purple Moon Chronicles’, I knew that vicious plants aren’t necessarily vicious. There are some that are extremely beneficial to humans and aren’t hostile at all. Instead, one of them forms a strange symbiotic relationship with humans, and it’s known as the Purple Spirit plant. There’s also another type of plant which is extremely hostile, and in order to satisfy itself, it usually consumes blood and flesh. It is as fierce as a vicious beast predator or highly mutated insects. This kind of vicious plant is called the Purple Demon plant.
“However, both the Purple Spirit and the Purple Demon plants are extremely rare because scientists found out that they somehow have intellect. A special plant network is formed inside the plant’s heart using the veins of the plant. The network of veins wraps around a lump of tissue that resembles the human brain’s gray matter. Since it resembles a human brain, it’s known as the plant brain, and only vicious plants on Level 6 and above can have a chance of developing a plant brain.”
“That’s some meticulous reading.” Boss Huang raised his hand and signaled him. Tang Ling immediately lit a cigarette and passed it to the boss.
With the cigarette in one hand, Boss Huang picked the half-melted little stone out from the fire with the pair of tongs and placed it on the anvil. He said flatly, “Your little dagger isn’t all that amazing,. It’s just the fruit of a Level 8 Purple Demon plant, the Blood Blade Bulrush.”
“A Level 8 vicious plant?” Tang Ling’s eyes widened. He could not understand the meaning behind the term ‘Level 8 vicious plant’. Just how powerful could the vicious plant be? Level 8 alone was enough to frighten Tang Ling.
“Afraid?” Boss Huang held the cigarette with his mouth and smiled. All of a sudden, he bellowed, “Look closely! I’m using the high-tier version of the spirit visualization method to hammer this dagger. I’ll only hammer 7 strikes because this piece of superalloy, the Volcano Magma Core, needs only 7 strikes to hammer all the impurities out.”
Superalloy?! The Volcano Magma Core?!
Tang Ling’s head exploded. How had he somehow gotten into a strange temple and obtained himself a piece of superalloy? He remembered there had been several other strange rocks on the rack back in the temple.
Gulping nervously, he was not a greedy person and dared not be distracted.
Tang Ling had experienced first-hand the benefits of smithing using the spirit visualization method! It was considered one of the rarest methods in the world that could develop one’s spirit!
The method could not only sense the internal structure of the iron blanks to increase the smithing efficiency, henceforth increasing the merging speed of his strength, he could even sense his own body!
The reason why Tang Ling was able to thoroughly merge the strength of nine bulls in such a short period was that he had used the spirit visualization method with Boss Huang’s reminder. He sensed his own strength merging and the details within, henceforth increasing the speed of his strength merging.
What made Tang Ling addicted to the spirit visualization method was how it could slightly boost his Precise Instinct!
It was an overwhelming discovery for Tang Ling! Before this, his Precise Instinct could only be increased through a tremendous consumption of energy during his cultivation. He was able to slowly grind and increase it by a little when he increased his own strength at the same time.
With that in mind, Tang Ling discarded his excessive thoughts and concentrated on Boss Huang’s movements. He also used the spirit visualization method to feel the internal structure of the Volcano Magma Core.
If he did not visualize at the same time as the boss, he would not know what was so great about the high-tier spirit visualization method.
He closed his eyes and used his purest spirit to sense it. On the contrary, Boss Huang opened his eyes slightly and anyone who paid attention to him would notice that his pupils changed in a subtle and bizarre way, yet the changes were not obvious enough to be put into words.
In short, it looked like a lot of pupils had appeared on top of Boss Huang’s pupils. All the pupils overlapped and converged on each other, making his eyes extremely abysmal. His gaze was extra concentrated as well, and at first glance, it looked like his gaze had materialized.
Clang!
Boss Huang swung the first strike.
Even with his eyes closed, Tang Ling looked surprised.
Boss Huang glanced over at him with a meaningful gaze. Admiration and a rare hint of merciful love were exposed in his gaze, but Tang Ling did not see any of that.
Of course, Boss Huang did not care whether he could see his eyes or not. He continued swinging his hammer.
Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang! Clang!
Six consecutive strikes later, the surface of the strange black stone had an extra layer of gray. It looked like a shallow layer of oil.
“Ding Dong!” Boss Huang called out loudly.
Shocked, Tang Ling widened his eyes. Boss Huang took the cigarette out of his mouth and asked, “What did you feel?”
“Structure…the structure of the model,” muttered Tang Ling.
Indeed, Boss Huang’s hammer strike was near miraculous. What Tang Ling felt was the structure of the stone and how the impurities were hammered out from the compact structure of the stone!
All Tang Ling had was a blurry image of how the impurities were hammered out because his level was not high enough to feel the structure of the impurities yet.
“Correct.” Boss Huang lowered his head. Unintentionally, he played with the piece of stone with the pair of tongs while slight shock colored his eyes.
The God’s Eye that Boss Huang used was on tier 3, and only at tier 3 could the user see the structure of the items.
Tang Ling had improved very quickly. He had once said that all Tang Ling needed to do to be considered as an entry-level God’s Eye was to increase his smithing speed by a third of his current time.
Truth be told, the entry-level was actually the threshold for the tier 1 God’s Eye.
As a result, Tang Ling spent only three days to reach the threshold! Boss Huang originally expected him to take up at least seven days, and that was even considering his Perfect Genetic Chain.
In the end, the boss still underestimated the Perfect Genetic Chain’s potential. It had only been seven days, and Tang Ling’s efficiency in smithing had almost doubled.
In short, Tang Ling was already qualified to further cultivate his God’s Eye to tier 1, but he would stil be some gap away from perfecting it.
However, even with that tiny bit of basics, Tang Ling was able to feel the structure of the item that only a tier 3 God’s Eye could see. What kind of talent was that?! Or maybe it should not be called talent anymore. It should be called a monstrosity!
“But I still cannot see the internal structures clearly. I can only feel the smallest of impurities being hammered out from the structure.” Due to Boss Huang’s constant suppression, Tang Ling felt stupid and felt embarrassed when he said that.
Even Tang Ling himself did not know why he was able to feel it. Maybe it was an instinct of his?
Boss Huang held his urge back to beat this little monster up. If this little monster continued to grow stronger, Boss Huang might not be able to beat him up anymore in the future.
He sighed at the legacy Tang Feng had left behind for his son with a heartfelt thought. It was not just his Precise Instinct. there was another intuitive thinking ability that allowed Tang Ling to sense things. The ability had a faint presence to the point that no one could copy or grasp it.
What exactly was the ability? Even the all-knowing Boss Huang had no answer to that.
“It would be strange if you can see the structure now. Just remember that this should be where your spirit visualization method should head towards. Try to be earnest in your practice.” Boss Huang’s temper was being tortured by Tang Ling’s talent and it was rare for him to give some positive encouragement.
“Mm-hmm!” Tang Ling nodded vigorously.
Then, Ding Dong appeared in the smithing room. She came in with a glum expression, but when she saw Boss Huang working, her unhappiness was immediately replaced by a rare solemnity.
“Drawer No.210 on the third rack in the storeroom. Take one of the vials out and pour a third of the contents into a container.” Boss Huang put the hammer down and gave his orders dexterously.
As he spoke, he took a bucket of water and placed it beside the anvil. The water in the bucket was not common clear water. Even under such a ridiculous temperature, chilly steam was emanating from its surface.
Boss Huang then continued hammering the strange stone attached to the dagger, and another small stone was knocked out.
“Speaking of the dagger, now that you know it’s a fruit from the Blood Blade Bulrush, do you have any idea what this actually is?”
“Is this the natural shape? Is it a sword?” Tang Ling voiced his own speculation, but he found it difficult to believe.
Who would believe that? A sword growing from a plant?! Even with Tang Ling’s current knowledge and after finishing ‘The Purple Moon Chronicles’, it was difficult for him to understand that.
He thought all weapons were forged using alloy, superalloy, or even legendary Godnium, so what level could the weapon from the plant be?
Boss Huang looked askance at Tang Ling. “Things in their natural forms are the hardest to get. Otherwise, why do you think Godnium is so godly? But, of course, don’t you even dare assume that your little toy is Godnium. It’s a sword alright, but it’s alive. A live sword!
“Strictly speaking, if it’s modified into a perfect weapon, it will be as good as the weapons made from tier 3 superalloy, and if you can raise it…”
Boss Huang looked at Tang Ling, sounding a little regretful.
The entire Dvesha Moha was like a giant hearth.
Every breath that was exhaled inside the building felt like it could catch fire, yet why would Tang Ling leave?
Even though he despised Boss Huang’s character, he never doubted the boss’s capabilities. Being able to witness Boss Huang’s smithing was a rare opportunity.
