After giving his instructions, Quan Yi left the Blacksmith Shop with Huo Wu without worry.
Blacksmith Yuan could handle the rest perfectly on his own.
Ever since Blacksmith Yuan had given up on managing the business and devoted himself to the path of forging, his forging skills had been improving rapidly.
According to the mainland's ranking system for blacksmiths, Blacksmith Yuan's forging level had reached Master Blacksmith.
The ranking system for blacksmiths was different from that of Soul Masters, with only seven levels.
From lowest to highest, they were Apprentice Blacksmith, Intermediate Blacksmith, Advanced Blacksmith, Expert Blacksmith, Master Blacksmith, Grandmaster Blacksmith, and Divine Blacksmith.
When Quan Yi first met Blacksmith Yuan, his blacksmith level was roughly Advanced Blacksmith.
But today, several years later, Blacksmith Yuan had worked hard to raise his level to the realm of Master Blacksmith.
As a non-Soul Master blacksmith, being able to reach this point was not only due to Quan Yi's investment and his own efforts, but also inseparable from his talent and passion for forging.
Moreover, with a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of metals, his level was rapidly approaching Grandmaster Blacksmith.
On the way back.
"Xiao Yi, are we going to live by the sea in the future?"
In the night sky, Huo Wu asked thoughtfully.
Quan Yi gazed gently into Huo Wu's clear eyes and asked in return:
"Are you willing to follow me?"
Huo Wu didn't hesitate for a moment and replied firmly, "I am willing."
Quan Yi's eyes flickered as he looked at Huo Wu with a smile.
Someone who could choose to follow him without hesitation was worth protecting with his life.
No matter how long the vacation was, it would always feel too short.
A week passed in the blink of an eye.
The happy time for Quan Yi and Huo Wu quickly came to an end.
On the first day after the vacation.
Quan Yi put on the thickened and weighted ten-ton load and began his physical training.
Even with Iron Essence, which had an extremely high density, a weight of ten tons resulted in an incredibly large volume.
Even though Quan Yi's physique had also become taller, it would be impractical to concentrate all the weight on the vest, leg guards, and arm guards.
Therefore, Blacksmith Yuan had put in the effort to create equipment for Quan Yi that resembled full-body armor.
The leg guards, arm guards, and vest were thickened and extended as much as possible without affecting movement.
In addition to these, Quan Yi also added shoulder guards and a breastplate, worn outside the vest.
Wearing this entire set of equipment, Quan Yi looked like an ancient knight going on an expedition.
The heavy armor could easily create a large hole when stepping on the ground by the lake.
But when running, apart from the sound of the upper body armor colliding as it swung, almost no other sound could be heard.
This was thanks to Quan Yi's strong control over his strength; otherwise, every step of the run would cause a huge sound and vibration.
Doing so would bring extra burden to Quan Yi, but Quan Yi enjoyed it.
Of course, in addition to these, Quan Yi also added a hidden task.
That was, during physical training, Quan Yi would use Dual-Mindedness to simultaneously circulate the cultivation method.
Each of these two things was a major undertaking that consumed a lot of mental energy.
However, Quan Yi chose to do them simultaneously.
By doing so, Quan Yi would consume almost all of his mental energy every day.
However, the growth rate of Soul Power was simply too slow.
For a week, Quan Yi would go to the bottom of the Flame Vein every night to carry out top-level Simulated Environment cultivation.
But even so, Quan Yi's cultivation speed barely reached that of an ordinary Soul Master.
According to his calculations, his cultivation speed decreased from one level every five months to one level every ten months.
A full doubling of time.
This also meant that it would take Quan Yi four years to break through level 60.
If it weren't for Quan Yi absorbing a Soul Ring from a high-year Soul Beast, the time required would have doubled directly.
Four years later, Quan Yi would be fifteen years old.
A fifteen-year-old Soul Emperor was an unprecedented achievement.
But it didn't quite align with Quan Yi's planned schedule.
Because the rate at which a Soul Master's level increases slows down more and more in the later stages.
The current speed was already slow, and breaking through to Soul Emperor would greatly reduce his cultivation speed again.
At that time, it was very likely that Quan Yi would need a year of cultivation to painstakingly break through one level.
And that was just Soul Emperor, what about Soul Saint, Soul Douluo, or Titled Douluo? Therefore, in order to accelerate his cultivation time, Quan Yi pondered deeply and thought of the moment when he fought Dugu Bo, when he synchronized the operation of his Soul Power in battle in order to quickly replenish it.
Thinking of this, Quan Yi thought of the possibility of synchronizing the operation of Soul Power while exercising his body.
Previously, Quan Yi had not attempted such an operation to prevent Qi Deviation.
But, the current Quan Yi was no longer the Quan Yi of that time.
His spiritual power level was comparable to that of a top Soul Saint, and his mental strength was sufficient to support him in completing both tasks simultaneously.
And today was his first day of trying.
While running in heavy armor, Quan Yi focused half of his consciousness on the operational status of the Soul Power within his body.
When performing physical exercises, the Soul Power within the body would unconsciously operate and participate in the physical exercises.
When Soul Power was in operation, a Soul Master could exert greater strength and endurance.
Therefore, ordinary Soul Masters were actually using Soul Power when they exercised their bodies.
But Quan Yi was different from them. From the beginning, he consciously prevented the participation of Soul Power, in order to focus more on exercising his body.
Therefore, Quan Yi's Soul Power was in a dormant state when he exercised.
But now, Quan Yi needed to use his consciousness to make the Soul Power circulate again within his body.
A stream of Vermillion Soul Power departed from the dantian and completed a cycle through the trajectory of the cultivation method.
Quan Yi's spiritual power controlled the Soul Power during the circulation process, keeping it as cohesive as possible and not providing energy to the body.
But contrary to expectations, Quan Yi's Soul Power was incredibly condensed and perfectly matched his spiritual power.
Therefore, he was able to complete a full cycle of Soul Power without losing a single trace of it.
This feeling was like his usual Turning Strength into Softness exercise outside his body.
His usual control over Soul Power, as well as his control training over spiritual power, gave Quan Yi an incredibly solid foundation.
When the first stream of Soul Power completed a cycle and returned to the dantian, Quan Yi could sense that it had grown stronger.
Although the increase was far less than the top cultivation state during Simulated Environment cultivation, it did indeed increase the time spent on Soul Power cultivation.
Accumulated over time, it could still add up to a lot.
Two hours of exercise ended.
Because Quan Yi was wearing heavy and airtight full-body armor, he sweated more than usual, but his eyes were bright and he looked very excited.
"It worked!" Quan Yi whispered.
In two hours, Quan Yi successfully completed the synchronized cultivation of his body and Soul Power.
Now, Quan Yi could shorten the time required to increase one level by at least three months.
Seven months for one level, so only three years were needed to increase five levels.
Through synchronized cultivation, Quan Yi could shorten the time by one year.
