Chapter 266 [His A Treasure]
Elder Derek and Master Anderson were both different from each other. While Anderson teaching was gentle and caring he was always calm and always spoke up in a kind manner about the mistake he made. Elder Derek on the other was just fire that would blow up in any second a single mistake would make him yell at him.
For four hours he has been forging mental alloy and it really made him so tired he just felt done with it for the rest of the day to make matter worse it was only 1:00 p.m! What the hell where did he wrong in his past life.
Ouranos let out a bitter sigh and he streighed out his hand when he looked at Derek he frowned.
"Master I am hungry can I eat?"
"Slacking off that won't do!"
"Slacking off? How am I slacking off old geezer I am not-"
"What you are going to say you quit nice try buddy you are stuck with me and I will kill anyone who tries to take you away from me so rethink what you were about to say, never mind that go on shoo, shoo go and eat."
"Really I can eat finally?"
"Why does he act like I have been starving him?" Derek muttered and he turned around and he stared at the alloy.
Derek danced around in the room and he couldn't help it but touch his hair.
"I have picked up such a nice treasure yes his a treasure!"
But Ouranos hardship with his new master wasn't even close to being over.

"Wait are you saying you are learning how to spirit alloy refine?"
"Yup that's what the teacher has been teaching me. I must both of you are fire and water you are calm, his just blowing ticking bomb if you make a mistake he will through the worst fits ever. His like a child who would do anything to get what he wants! But is there something wrong with spirit alloy you are giving off funny faces," Ouranos spoke up.
"Bahah you are so cute and funny! Sigh kid do you know what rank people start to life spirit alloy refinement? Sixth rank! Do you understand that it means fifth-rank blacksmiths only need to know how to spirit refine. Even if their chances of success are extremely low, a single successful spirit refining elevates a blacksmith to the fifth rank. However, to get to the sixth rank, a blacksmith needs to be able to forge at least six two-metal alloys and three three-metal alloys. Teaching you about alloys when you haven’t even solidified your spirit refining foundation is just irresponsible!”
“Huh?”
Ouranos really wanted to beat up that old geezer right up to this moment he took the most long breath and he crossed his arms and he shook his head once again.
Ouranos walked inside the workshop of Anderson and he saw him waiting for him he nudge his chin toward a workshop and he walked striaght in and Anderson let out a breath.
"The difference between the two is evident in their value. If you compare two alloys, a spirit alloy and a spiritless alloy, the spirit alloy would be a thousand times more valuable. To display their full potential, spirit alloys need to be spirit refined at the very least. You also need to become skilled at forging spirit alloys if you want to become a Saint Blacksmith because, when the time comes for you to soul refine, you won’t be able to use just any metal. Regular metals aren’t strong enough endure being soul refined, so you will only be able to use alloys. Since Derek has already begun teaching you how to forge them, I don’t want to overwhelm you. Instead of teaching you how to spirit refine on top of that, I’ll teach you the specifics of forging alloys.”
"I understand."
"Now show me what you have done."
Ouranos nodded his head. Ouranos walked over to the shelf of metals and quickly picked out two. One was tanu heavy silver and the other was magic spirit silver. If he used heavy silver and magic silver, he could create an alloy called spirit jade silver.
The most important part of forging spirit alloys was ensuring that the product retained the spiritual nature of its components. This was what separated them from spiritless alloys. Jade silver possessed the strengths of both heavy silver and magic silver. As one of the better two-metal alloys, it reinforced those strengths.
He felt quiet proud with these two mental as he summon his hammers he closed his eyes and he started to merge these two metals together his speed of hammering was much faster then before and his strength was also as fast. His rhythm was calm like a lake he wasn't fluster or scared to make a mistake.
The hammers carried a tremendous amount of force, each strike visibly distorting the resilient heavy silver. No more than a minute later, Ouranos finished a hundred refining it. Then the magic silver emerged, and he hundred refined it as well.
The pair of hundred-refined metals sat on the table side-by-side. Ouranos spread his arms wide in a sweeping gesture, then brought them hurtling toward the two metals. His hammers smashed the metals together, and a series of booms thundered throughout the room, overlapping to become one unified burst of sound.
Forging alloys wasn’t as simple as smashing two metals together. The process required a constant infusion of heavenly yio power to bridge the gap between the metals until they reached a balance. Only this could preserve the spiritual nature of the metals and sublimate their properties in the finished product. So to anyone it looked easy but the fact alone it wasn't easy at all for him to be able to do such a thing was truly amazing.
Three heavenly jewel rings danced around as he raised his hammer. These heavenly jewel rings also had a faint of ancient rune writing. Anderson was shocked by this.
Wasn't he only at Heavenly Yio Power 28 when he reached 30?
An hour later, when the two metals completely merged into one, Ouranos’s hammering lightened up from crashing strikes to gentle taps. He tapped it with the hammer in his left hand, the hammer in his right quickly followed at the opposite end to keep the metal in place. His two hammers alternated in this way as they lightly tapped the metal, causing it to slowly start spinning. Ouranos continued tapping the metal as it spun, each gentle strike adding to its momentum. It was as if he were forging a metal whirlwind on the table.
