"Too easy, let's go in!"
Jiang Yuan did not choose to remove the scroll, but instead pressed it directly into the artifact tablet.
There was no conflict between the scroll and the inscription. After being pressed in, it became the inscription again, and the text flowed once more.
"Next chapter!"
Jiang Yuan turned his attention to another, longer scroll. He also entered the void with his consciousness, but this time five dwarf figures appeared. Moreover, the dwarfs' speed increased slightly, and their movements became more complex.
Even with the increased difficulty, Jiang Yuan still felt no pressure; his abilities were perfectly in sync with the figure.
In this way, Jiang Yuan rose from four figures to eight figures, and the scrolls were changed seven times.
"It seems that none of them can compare to the inheritance of the Sun and Moon Saint King!" Jiang Yuan pressed down the scroll in his hand again. By now, the quality of the scroll in his hand had reached the Spirit level, which was the same level as the Spirit Alchemist's job change book back then.
However, even a Spirit-level job change book couldn't tempt Jiang Yuan. The inheritance of the Sun and Moon Saint Lord was already excellent enough. If an ordinary job change book couldn't make up for his shortcomings, he wouldn't waste time choosing one.
"It seems there's one last chapter!"
Jiang Yuan looked up. This was the longest forging method in the basic inheritance. He said calmly, "It wouldn't hurt to give it a try!"
He had already made his plans: if the forging technique was useless, he would take the job change book and sell it.
Without hesitation, his consciousness entered the void again, but this time there were an unexpected number of figures in the void, a full thirteen.
"This jump from eight to thirteen is quite unexpected!"
Jiang Yuan's consciousness materialized into a human form, and the other dwarf figures also began to move. However, this time was different from before. Each of the thirteen dwarf figures made a different movement, as if the thirteen people were working together to demonstrate a weapon-forging technique.
As the thirteen people moved around in Jiang Yuan's eyes, he seemed to be watching a magnificent forging drama.
"This is not a weapon forging method!"
After watching about a hundred movements, Jiang Yuan suddenly realized that the thirteen dwarves in front of him seemed to be using conventional forging techniques, but upon closer analysis, he realized that these thirteen people were more like nurturing a weapon.
"A blacksmith specializing in the character '人' (human)!" Jiang Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
The forging method he was seeing now was definitely influenced by the forging masters of the "Human" style. Although it incorporated many forging movements, there was another layer hidden at a deeper level.
The master blacksmith emphasizes the power of creation; he forges neither offensive nor defensive weapons, but rather the soul of the weapon.
Because the Sun and Moon Saint Lord had very little research on the soul of weapons, there are almost no records of the soul of weapons in the inheritance.
"It seems that I can only rely on myself to obtain this forging inheritance!" Jiang Yuan had no hope for the Sun and Moon Saint Lord's forging inheritance, but this was also good. If he could obtain this forging method, it would at least complement the inheritance obtained by the Sun and Moon Saint Lord and not conflict with it at all.
The existence of the dwarf figure is a test of the inheritor's talent. Only by comprehending the essence of the dwarf figure can one be qualified to obtain the basic inheritance within it.
Jiang Yuan's comprehension was not bad, and he already had a foundation in weapon forging, so even if the dwarf figure wanted to explain the soul of a weapon, it was not difficult for him.
"The weapon's exterior is forged, but what about its interior?" Jiang Yuan murmured to himself, watching the dwarf's constantly changing movements.
The dwarf figures in his eyes were overlapping, which was left by the person who created this forging method. In other words, it was his most primitive and essential action in forging, and each action contained the creator's understanding of the technique.
Beneath the seemingly clumsy movements lay an indescribable Daoist charm. Finally, at the instant the thirteen dwarf figures overlapped, Jiang Yuan discerned the mystery within.
From the initial four people to the current thirteen, the change in the number of people is more like a fusion of skills. From the four most basic actions of forging, inlaying, combining, and remelting, to the highly unified thirteen figures, everything tells him the essence of the forging method.
"A perfect unity of spirit, energy, and essence!" Jiang Yuan instantly realized that the most important thing in forging the soul of a weapon is to devote oneself wholeheartedly, to pour all one's emotions and desires into the weapon. Only in this way can the weapon give birth to a weapon soul!
"Something's still missing!"
Jiang Yuan waited until the dwarf figures separated again. This time, with a clearer understanding, he observed more intently. He noticed that each figure possessed its own unique array pattern, and he knew without a doubt that this was another key to condensing the weapon's soul.
"Array patterns! And an extreme passion for weapons!"
Jiang Yuan gave the answer, but knowing the answer didn't mean he could do it, because he felt that being completely devoted to weapons was a kind of morbid emotion.
"bite!"
The thirteen figures suddenly stopped moving, each of them wearing a half-smile on their face.
"On this battlefield, you are the first person to understand the soul of weapons!" The thirteen figures spoke in unison, their slightly different voices creating a very three-dimensional sound.
Jiang Yuan looked around in surprise, then asked, "Are you alive?"
"The fact that we have left behind a legacy does not mean that we are dead!" The chorus echoed once again in the void.
"Then what is the purpose of leaving behind this legacy?" Jiang Yuan asked, squinting his eyes.
"Purpose!"
The thirteen figures flickered continuously, seemingly on the verge of collapse due to a single question, but ultimately this sense of impending doom subsided, and the thirteen figures merged back into one, saying, "Some have already failed, but for others, it's just the beginning! Let the artifact tablet be the final gift from the losers to the final battlefield!"
Jiang Yuan raised an eyebrow; he didn't like listening to others say things he only vaguely understood.
"The battlefield has only been open for less than a month, so it's normal that you can't understand the soul of weapons yet! But I think you will understand it one day, so I've chosen to give you this basic weapon forging method!" The dwarf figure stretched out his hand, and a scroll flew towards him.
"I passed?" Jiang Yuan was slightly surprised.
"You have one month left. I hope you can obtain my clan's forging inheritance! Remember, there is only one of each of the three inheritances, so you must seize the time!"
The dwarf's figure vanished as soon as he finished speaking.
Jiang Yuan withdrew from consciousness, and there was something in his palm—a dark red animal hide scroll. "I got it?"
He was quite surprised because, in a way, he hadn't passed the real test.
Let's leave here first!
Jiang Yuan originally wanted to examine the scroll, but considering the dangers of this place, he decided to take the scroll with him instead.
However, just as he got up to leave, the tower door wouldn't open. He looked at the scroll in his hand and wondered, "Could it be that the inheritance here can't be taken out?"
After thinking for a while, he realized that this was very likely. Because of the artifact, he gave up on putting the scroll into his personal space and instead opened it directly.
The scroll opened and emitted a dazzling light. In just five seconds, the scroll disappeared, leaving behind only a quasi-god-level inheritance in Jiang Yuan's mind.
