Chapter 235: Chapter 235: I Forge a Thousand Times, You Refine a Hundred!

"Your strength is this great?"

Lu Chen was also taken aback. Xiao Hei was not known for its strength, and the cliff was not merely made of stone—it was all Mystic Iron!

"Master, this is all thanks to you," Xiao Hei said, panting slightly. "After consuming so many demon pills, and then with all the Vitality Force you provided me, my body has naturally undergone changes."

"I see," Lu Chen nodded. Without even mentioning the countless demon pills Xiao Hei had consumed within the Tianyuan abyss, after entering this forbidden land, which demon pill wasn’t extremely powerful?

"It seems that in the future, I should hunt more demonic beasts and provide you with demon pills to consume!"

Xiao Hei took a breath and said, "Master, having too much to chew doesn’t mean you’ll digest it well. I think that for the time being, I don’t need demon pills anymore! All I need is to break through to the next realm, and I should be able to transform into a human form!"

"Transform into a human?"

Lu Chen gasped in surprise, "Would that make you completely like a human?"

"Not exactly," Xiao Hei pondered and replied, "There should still be some differences."

It wasn’t certain, only the inherited memories told it that the next realm would be the Transformative Stage, where it could transform into a human form!

"So, it seems, I should focus on refining the Mystic Iron, while you cultivate here?"

Xiao Hei twisted its body and detached itself from the cliff, then said, "Master, this cliff is too vast. If you refine it, you’ll need my help. My cultivation can wait; your spear is more important for now!"

Lu Chen didn’t insist, "Alright, when I was refining the scraps of Mystic Iron by myself, I was already a bit hard-pressed. Now, refining an entire cliff might be even more challenging!"

"Whether it’s difficult or not, we’ll only know after trying," Xiao Hei tilted its head and looked thoughtfully at the shaft in the pit, "Master, the Mystic Iron seems to be refinable. I think since we’ve started forging, why not condense all this Mystic Iron into something this size? You said the Madam would probably be safe, so why not spend more time on it? A sharp axe won’t delay the work of chopping firewood!"

"It is possible to refine it," Lu Chen said with a wry smile. "However, refining requires a thousand hammerings, and I neither have the right tools nor experience."

"Experience is gained through trial," Xiao Hei said, slightly bowing its head to reveal its single horn to Lu Chen, "Master, how about I take on the task of the thousand hammerings?"

"You?"

Seeing the horn, gleaming with a dark light, Lu Chen felt an impulse!

If that horn is hard enough...

It really might work!

"Yes, me!"

Xiao Hei said with full confidence. "It was with my horn that I slowly struck at the base of this cliff, which allowed me to uproot it entirely! Master, now you must not underestimate me!"

"Good!"

Lu Chen clapped his hands, "I have never underestimated you. Since that’s the case, I’ll leave it to you! However... the Mystic Iron Liquid is extremely hot when forged. I wonder if you can withstand such high temperatures?"

Xiao Hei laughed heartily, "Master, if I can’t stand it, you can use the Mystic Pearl to draw water and cool me down! With you and me working together, how could I possibly be injured?"

Lu Chen’s eyes lit up instantly, and with that, all concerns vanished!

A man and a snake, acting in perfect harmony!

Lu Chen picked up the Mystic Iron spear shaft from the pit and smiled slightly, "Just right. We’ll use this as a fire stick and refine the cliff together!"

They got straight to work, but they didn’t immediately spray out the Spiritual Liquid Fire from the Pure Jade Bottle.

The entire cliff was a massive project, and Lu Chen felt it was necessary to fill the Pure Jade Bottle completely!

Xiao Hei took care of the ground preparations, while Lu Chen sat down and continued to pour Spiritual Liquid into the Pure Jade Bottle.

These preparations took a full three days!

Once everything was ready, a gleam flashed in Lu Chen’s eyes, and he felt palpable excitement.

If he could really forge a Mystic Iron Spear...

Then with one spear in hand, the world would be his!

"Let’s begin!"

Lu Chen abruptly stood up and aimed the mouth of the Pure Jade Bottle at the cliff!

Whoosh—

The sea of flames spread, instantly engulfing the entire giant rock within!
