Beast Taming: My Intelligence System

Ye Bai extracted the soul and placed it in the Soul Gem.

Faintly visible inside the Soul Gem, a black snake was wandering around.

Its body was very long, and its sharp fangs emitted a long cry.

After extracting the Artifact Spirit, the Black Dragon Saber lost its spiritual nature, its blade became dull and lackluster, like decayed wood that had been worn away by a thousand years.

Fine cracks appeared on the blade, as if the whole Black Dragon Saber might shatter completely at the next moment.

This was not what Ye Bai wanted to see.

"Hahaha, extracting the Artifact Spirit does this, the blade loses its spiritual nature, thus allowing us to better reshape its physical body."

"Don't be nervous, we'll proceed to the next step shortly."

"Alright, follow me, the flames of the Netherworld Hell Wolf King are too fierce, it would directly ruin the Black Dragon Saber with one touch."

"I have a specialized furnace here."

The Wine Maker Immortal led Ye Bai across a winding brook, arriving at a gigantic iron furnace.

The iron furnace occupied an area of several acres, looking quite massive.

Even before getting close, a wave of heat could be felt rushing towards them.

Many wine god pandas were busy working, these half-meter tall pandas seemed to be the descendants of the Wine Maker Immortal's wine god panda.

"This furnace contains the heart fire of the Ten Thousand Bamboo Forest Volcano, which I've subdued with treasures."

"Thus, compared to other fires, this heart fire is relatively mild."

The Black Dragon Saber was slowly melted by the heart fire into iron water, suspended in mid-air.

The heart fire burned the iron water continuously, causing the entire liquid to boil, while large amounts of black smoke billowed from it.

And the soul imprisoned within the Soul Stone also emitted a heavy wail, as though it was being scorched by fierce flames.

The Wine Maker Immortal tossed segments of snake bones into the furnace.

The furnace fire burned fiercely, quickly purging impurities from the snake bones, transforming them into crystal-clear bones that slowly merged into the iron water.

"Snake bones, also known as Dragon Bones, are the most important part of a snake, and form the framework of a Soul Artifact."

"Whether the Black Dragon Saber can be shaped depends on whether this framework can be built well; if not built properly, no amount of material filled would be effective."

"Therefore, when forging Soul Artifacts, selecting the right raw materials from the start is best, based on the attributes of the Soul Artifact and Artifact Spirit, to forge the best Soul Artifact."

"Otherwise, it would be like a rootless castle in the air, readily collapsing."

The Wine Maker Immortal earnestly instructed Ye Bai.

The Sunflower Fairy nodded, acknowledging the importance and committing it to memory.

"The black snake's eye pupil is gem-like, it must be fused into the iron water, or the Black Dragon would have spirit but no form, losing its precision."

The Wine Maker Immortal continued teaching, everyone found it immensely practical, a unique secret not learned outside, unexpectedly shared by the Wine Maker Immortal here.

A basketball-sized eyeball fell into the iron water, the heart fire charred the eye red, and the eyeball shrank progressively until it formed a decoration.

"Alright, Master Ye, take a look, isn't the iron water gleaming with light, filled with spirituality?"

"The iron water has reached this stage, it's just about ready for forging."

"The forging process can purge impurities contained in the iron water, we need to forge carefully bit by bit."

The iron water flowed into the streaming creek, sizzling sharply, instantly releasing a large amount of white steam.

A black iron ingot instantly took shape.

"This is the first quenching, to bring about a fundamental change in the Black Dragon Saber, it must be quenched nine hundred and ninety-nine times."

"This time period must proceed uninterrupted!"
