Chapter 4062: A problem

Translator: 549690339

The king of junk had been on edge since he started forging. He was personally in charge of every step of the process, and there was no room for any mistakes.

Lin Yi didn’t sit around either-it was a rare opportunity to watch the entire process up close. It’d only been seven days, but he’d learned a lot from the king’s teachings.

During these seven days, there was no deviation in the process. Everything was going according to the script that the king of junk had planned out, and it was going smoothly. Lin Yi’s initial anxiety slowly faded away, and he felt more at ease. He was glad that he didn’t find the wrong person.

Everything was difficult at the beginning, and they’d already passed the most important initial stage. The forging was half-done, and Lin Yi thought that he’d be able to keep going smoothly like this, but everything came to an end on the eighth day.

“It … It’s over?” Lin Yi’s jaw dropped as he watched the pool calm down. This wasn’t what the king of junk had planned for him.

At that moment, even the king of junk was going crazy. Although he could not accurately predict how long the process would take, it was only the eighth day!

According to the experience of many blacksmiths, the more powerful a divine weapon was, the longer the time needed to cast it. For a divine weapon of a slightly higher grade, it was normal to take a few months or even a few years. And this time, super rare materials such as the ten-thousand-year-old tree crystal and the ancient Pure Land were used in the casting, so how could it be weaker than other weapons?

However, it was an indisputable fact that the weapon forging pool had calmed down! Normally, such a situation would only occur when the divine weapon was formed.

However, it was only the eighth day, and looking at the lump in the forging pool, even a ghost would not believe that it was a fully formed divine weapon!

“What do we do now?” Lin Yi’s mouth twitched as he turned to trash King.”This thing … I’m going to use it to smash people?”

“Impossible! That was impossible! That’s impossible!” The king of junk pounded his head as he paced around the forging pool, muttering to himself.

Lin Yi couldn’t help but worry that the guy might just throw himself into the pool after seeing his crazed look. That would be a real death.

Lin Yi thought it was unbelievable as well-the whole plan was designed by the king of junk, but he’d discussed it with him in detail during the process. In order to guarantee success, they had to do a lot of preparation.

The high-grade materials that Lin Yi bought from the northernmost Island had only one purpose in the forging plan, and that was to ensure the stability and success rate of the forging process. The king of junk had even asked Lin Yi to fuse a few sky-grade weapons he didn’t use with them because of this.

However, he did not expect that such a result would still come out even after he had made such thorough preparations.

“We … Are considered to have failed, right?” Lin Yi asked. Reality was cruel, but he had to accept it.

At this time, the king of junk knelt down and put his face on the edge of the pool, giving Lin Yi a big shock. This guy couldn’t be thinking too hard, could he? the pool might have calmed down now, but the temperature was still frighteningly high. Even a Foundation Stage master wouldn’t be able to handle it.

Just as Lin Yi was about to stop him, the king of junk’s eyes lit up.”No, no, I know the reason. We haven’t failed yet!”

“You haven’t failed yet?” Lin Yi blinked.

“Right! We haven’t failed yet. More accurately, we haven’t completely failed!” The king of junk was full of energy again, and he pointed at the pool as he explained, “You’ll know if you look carefully. The pool hasn’t completely cooled down, and the divine weapon hasn’t completely taken shape. From the looks of it, if we don’t find a way to solve the problem, it will remain in this lukewarm state. We still have room for remedy. ”

Lin Yi’s spirits lifted. He observed for a while and confirmed what the king of junk said. The God weapon was still changing at a speed that was hard to see with the naked eye. He asked,”What problem?”

“Solve the attribute conflict between the 10000-year tree crystal and the ancient Pure Land!” “Brother Lin, I’ve told you before that there’s a basic requirement for casting a weapon. The materials must be compatible with each other. Even if they’re not compatible with each other, we must find a way to neutralize them with other supplementary materials. This is the problem we’re facing now,” the king of junk said confidently.

“How could this be? The 10,000-year tree crystal has the wood attribute, and the ancient Pure Land has the earth attribute. How could there be a conflict of attributes between the two?” Lin Yi asked curiously. It was common sense that earth and wood grew together.

The king of junk shook his head and said,”wrong. These two materials are too rare. It’s difficult to understand their specific origins. So, we have made a mistake on this most basic problem. The 10000-year tree crystal is indeed wood attribute, but the ancient Pure Land is not Pure Earth attribute!”

“If it’s not the earth attribute, then what could it be?” Lin Yi was confused. Even if he didn’t know the origin, the ancient Pure Land was a standard soil. Could it be some other attribute?

“I once saw an ancient Pure Land in my master’s notes. Although it didn’t clearly mention its attributes, it did mention that ancient pure lands usually only appear at the mouth of ancient volcanoes!” “Now you understand. Although the ancient Pure Land has the earth attribute, it also has the fire attribute. So, to a certain extent, there is a conflict of attributes with the wood attribute of the ten-thousand-year tree crystal!” The king of junk said excitedly.

Lin Yi understood now and nodded,”no wonder this weird situation happened. If it was just a clash of attributes, it would have failed completely. It wouldn’t have continued so slowly. So it’s because the earth and fire dual phase of the ancient Pure Land and the wood phase of the ten thousand year tree crystal both clash and coexist.”

“That’s right. Luckily, my mistake wasn’t too fatal. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even have the chance to make up for it. If that were the case, I wouldn’t have the face to face you, brother Lin.” The king of junk said awkwardly.

“Don’t say that. Even if it’s just for brother Wang’s hard work, even if it doesn’t succeed, I’m already very grateful to you. How can you say such words to me?” Lin Yi smiled,”since we’ve already used the ten thousand year tree crystal and ancient Pure Land, there’s no way we can follow the previous example. How can there be no mistakes? plus, there’s still a chance to fix it now. It’s not the time to be sad.”
