Xu Yi looked at the melted Yata Mirror, and without hesitation, he took out the "Gluttony" Sin Remains.
The Gluttony Sin Remains were more robust than even mythical Holy Artifacts, and if melted by common means, it would require an exceedingly long time to liquefy.
Luckily, as the master of the Sin Remains, Xu Yi could make the Sin Remains cooperate actively.
He cut his own palm, letting his fresh blood drip onto the "Gluttony" Sin Remains, until they were completely enveloped by blood.
The "Gluttony" Sin Remains fell into the golden flames, the Ghost Samurai poured more Divinity into the fire, and the Melting Flame began to heat up.
Xu Yi then took out a series of materials—fire gold, Variegated Iron, Venus coal…
Each material was priceless in the Exorcist Realm, and even Xu Yi, as a titled exorcist, had spent a lot of effort to gather them.
He threw these materials into the Melting Flame in proportion.
These materials would help the Sin Remains and the Yata Mirror blend together better, while also imbuing them with more features.
"I hope everything goes smoothly!"
Xu Yi took a deep breath and took out the mold he had prepared in advance.
The mold was made of "Steam Copper," a magical material that would gradually sublimate upon high heat, like water vapor.
The metallic liquid formed by the melting of the Holy Artifact and Sin Remains would undoubtedly have an extreme temperature, making it hard to find materials that could withstand such heat.
Therefore, he did the opposite and used Steam Copper as the mold.
As long as the shape of the metallic liquid could be just slightly solidified, he could then use a hammer to continuously strike it into shape.
The mold was in the shape of a dagger.
Gluttony and Wrath Sin Remains still had no host, and Xu Yi didn't plan to look for one anymore. He intended to keep them for his own use.
Among cold weapons, he was most proficient with daggers and long knives, and he planned to prioritize forging these two weapons.
Amid an anxious wait, all materials completely melted. By that time, the sky outside had already brightened slightly, and Xu Yi had gone through another all-nighter.
The molten gold-colored metal fell into the mold, instantly turning the mold red-hot due to the astounding temperature.
From the skylight, Xu Yi drew extremely cold well water, into which the mold was plunged for quenching. With a "hiss," a large amount of the well water evaporated, filling the room with mist.
His heart thumped wildly, and even with his self-control, he couldn't help but be excited.
He knew very well that with this step, success was now very close.
After a large amount of water had evaporated, the temperature of the metal finally began to drop slightly. The Steam Copper had long since disappeared, fortunately having fulfilled its purpose.
The Ghost Samurai waved a hand, and a golden shadow flew out of the well water, now bearing some resemblance to a dagger.
The dagger was still incredibly hot at this point, but having turned into a semi-solid, Xu Yi could easily control it as the master of the Sin Remains.
This would save him a lot of effort.
"Next is the forging!"
Xu Yi sat down cross-legged, his mind fully immersed in the Ghost Samurai. He couldn't relax just yet and must continue the effort to forge the "Gluttony" into existence.
The Ghost Samurai moved to the Forge Station, where the dagger automatically landed.
This Forge Station from Atlantis was a Meteorite Iron from Beyond the Heavens that hadn't been much processed. After flattening two sides, it was made into a Forge Station with an impressive durability.
The Ghost Samurai beckoned, and the forging hammer fell into his hand.
Divinity was channeled into the forging hammer, and it "came to life," with its massive blood-red pupils widening and emitting a thick black mist.
The forging hammer slammed onto the "Gluttony" dagger with a crisp clanging sound, causing the Forge Station to rumble violently.
Even semi-solid Gluttony could not be affected by a common forging hammer, only a legendary object like the forging hammer had the right to forge it.
Xu Yi focused intently on hammering the dagger as the forging hammer's black current repeatedly washed over Gluttony.
His confidence in forging the Alchemical Weapon "Gluttony" in such a short time partly came from the forging hammer before him, which could accelerate the forging process.
The sound of hammering was continuous. Were it not for the superior soundproofing of the Eight Monster House, the noise might be heard for several kilometers around.
As time passed and the sun climbed higher, it remained gloomy for Boston, with thick fog obscuring the entire sky.
During the forging, Xu Yi used two more Resurrection Coins—not due to failure, but because some details had not been handled well.
Xu Yi's perfectionism had kicked in; he strived for perfection, not settling for any flaws.
Now, he was left with only 41 Resurrection Coins.
"It's time," Xu Yi stopped swinging the Qishe Hammer.
The "Gluttony" dagger lay quietly on the forge station, dull and unassuming in appearance.
This was the final product. For a weapon as sturdy as "Gluttony," any post-forging polish or honing was a joke.
After cooling down, the toughness of "Gluttony" was beyond imagination; there was simply nothing around that could be used to grind it.
Even sharpening was unnecessary.
The edge had already been perfected during the forging, a function of the Qishe Hammer.
Xu Yi brought over a barrel of Dragon Blood Warrior Potion, which he had managed to concoct while waiting for the materials to melt.
Such a large barrel of Dragon Blood Elixir was worth a fortune.
If it were put out in the open, it would surely cause a frenzy, but here, it was merely an "Activator."
One final step remained before the "Gluttony" dagger could be deemed a success.
As the dagger plunged into the Dragon Blood Elixir, the liquid instantly boiled but produced no mist; the dagger absorbed all of it.
"Come to life!" Xu Yi's fist clenched tightly, unable to conceal the excitement in his eyes.
Suddenly, he heard a heartbeat, like the beating of drums, as loud as thunderous roars, causing the whole room to vibrate with the sound.
After absorbing all of the Dragon Blood Elixir, the dagger shook violently, no longer dull; a luxurious dark golden glow bloomed.
The "Gluttony" dagger was complete!
Xu Yi couldn't contain the joy within him and roared triumphantly.
Once the first one had been successfully crafted, the subsequent forging of the "Seven Deadly Sins" would naturally follow.
A terrifying fluctuation suddenly emanated from the dagger.
"Not good!" Xu Yi's expression changed slightly. He intended the "Seven Deadly Sins" as a secret weapon, and this disturbance, if spread, would reveal his hand.
He immediately activated the Eight Monster House, locking the doors and windows in an instant.@@novelbin@@
The Eight Monster House was fully sealed, but it was still not enough; the fluctuation was too strong. The Cat Spirit Holy Tree suddenly stretched out, its vines covering the "Gluttony" dagger, with the Demon-suppressing Domain taking effect.
The "heartbeat" lasted for a whole minute before gradually ceasing.
Xu Yi beckoned, and the "Gluttony" dagger flew into his hand. He examined it closely, overwhelmed with delight.
Before forging the dagger, he had no expectations for its aesthetic appeal.
It was cast in one piece, with no post-forging polishing or engraving, merely an "Iron Lump."
Its main appeal was its plain and unadorned functionality.
Yet the finished product took his breath away.
The shape of the dagger might be described as majestic or rudimentary, as it couldn't be finely carved due to the mold's simplistic design.
The crowning touch was the pattern on the dagger.
The entire dagger was covered in patterns, resembling flowing water or some kind of profound script, looking exceptionally dazzling.
Xu Yi understood that these patterns were manifestations of the Yata Mirror's flowing Array.
The more he looked at the "Gluttony" dagger, the more he adored it, unable to put it down.

But soon, the dagger "dimmed" again, returning to its pitch-black "fire-stick" appearance.
As Xu Yi infused power into it, the dull dagger once again radiated light, reverting to its original form.
"It even has this feature!"
Xu Yi hadn't expected such a pleasant surprise; the "Gluttony" dagger had two states, "Activated State" and "Normal State."
In its Activated State, the dagger was dark gold with dazzling flowing patterns.
In its Normal State, it was dull, looking like a failed product. In this state, it had a benefit.
That was the complete containment of its aura. Not only other people wouldn't be able to sense the strong aura of the dagger, but even the Source of Sin couldn't detect the aura of Sin Remains on it.
"This is just the kind of thing lyb would love!" Xu Yi joyfully stashed the dagger away.
He glanced at the time; there was about one day left before the Ring of Destruction would launch an attack. He decided to push the limits and forge another Alchemical Weapon.
