Even under the magnification of Quan Yi's Scarlet Dragon Eyes, this ruby remained pure and translucent.
This was unlike any ruby Quan Yi had seen in the workshops.
When Quan Yi explored how this ruby maintained its purity, the heat it emitted provided the answer.
The extreme heat radiating from the highly compressed fire element eliminated all impurities within the ruby during its crystallization process.
With the addition of the fire element, this ruby achieved true purity.
This was an impossible occurrence in his past life.
Seeming to be condensed from pure fire element, the deep red ruby displayed its extraordinary nature even more vividly under sunlight.
The daytime sunlight, shining upon the transparent gem, intensified the heat of the already scorching ruby.
As sunlight passed through the ruby, it underwent repeated refraction within, greatly increasing its temperature.
Not only sunlight, but all fire elements experienced a significant amplification effect when passing through the gem.
This was the unique characteristic of this ruby.
Of course, this amplification characteristic also had its limits.
When Quan Yi carefully tested it with the Ultimate Fire, it easily withstood the scorching heat.
This alone was enough to prove the strength of its material.
Most fire-attribute soul tools on the market lacked strong fire resistance; even a slight touch of the Ultimate Fire could cause irreparable damage.
In this regard, the Phoenix Blood Ruby barely met Quan Yi's requirements.
However, while its fire resistance was up to par, it couldn't amplify the Ultimate Fire.
This was its limit.
Nevertheless, Quan Yi could still utilize the powerful fire attribute amplification to create a special soul tool that could amplify external fire elements and replenish his own soul power, just like the Scarlet Dragon Horn.
Originally, Quan Yi planned to create a delicate ruby ring in this direction.
However, during the testing process, Quan Yi discovered that the fire element inside the Phoenix Blood Ruby would be purified when subjected to the Ultimate Fire.
The purified fire element, in turn, would promote the further condensation of the gem's material.
Of course, this change was too subtle, and Quan Yi wouldn't have noticed it without activating his Scarlet Dragon Eyes.
Upon observing this change, an idea immediately emerged in Quan Yi's mind.
Returning to the present, Quan Yi immediately placed the Phoenix Blood Ruby in his hand into the vermilion Yang Spring while Huo Wu was not around.
The full, deep red ruby, when entering the vermilion spring water, still could not hide its pure color.
It should be known that among all gemstones, ordinary rubies are second only to diamonds in hardness, and their melting point is also extremely high.
Rubies with fire attribute characteristics possess even more formidable fire resistance.
Moreover, even more terrifying was that, in Quan Yi's vision, he could see the Phoenix Blood Ruby's volume shrinking inward at a molecular level within the extremely hot spring water.
This meant that its material was becoming more stable.
The processing of the Phoenix Blood Ruby had temporarily come to an end.
However, to create a ruby ring, a ruby alone was not enough; it also needed a matching ring band.
Fortunately, Quan Yi was relatively confident in this part.
After all, Quan Yi had more experience and advantages in processing metals than in processing gems.
Moreover, since Quan Yi reforged his martial soul, his understanding of forging had obviously improved to another level.
During the reforging process, Quan Yi touched a higher level of barrier by using the fusion of the dragon soul.
Taking this opportunity, Quan Yi planned to try to take his forging skills to the next level.
For this reason, Quan Yi brought a complete set of forging tools and a sufficient amount of metal materials from home.
Before Huo Wu finished packing her luggage, Quan Yi first rushed back to the wooden house and set up a miniature forging table next to the house that could accommodate one person for forging.
When Huo Wu, who had finished sorting out the sundries, came out, she saw various professional forging tools and was immediately puzzled.
She asked Quan Yi: "Why are you suddenly so interested in forging?"
All along, Quan Yi had been forging huge amounts of metal with his fists in one go, but the formation Quan Yi had set up was obviously not like that.
Quan Yi smiled and replied: "I want to study soul tools in my spare time from cultivation."
Of course, Quan Yi couldn't tell Huo Wu about the ring, but what he said wasn't a lie either, as he intended to engrave some soul tool functions on the ring.
To divert Huo Wu's attention, Quan Yi proposed an interesting suggestion.
From the Heart of the Blazing Sun, he took out a piece of Mysterious Iron the size of an adult's fist and placed it on the forging table.
Immediately afterward, Quan Yi raised his eyebrows at Huo Wu and said: "Today, I'll show you what real forging is."
Looking at Quan Yi's smug expression, Huo Wu said with great interest: "Please, Artisan Quan."
Quan Yi took a deep breath, and the relaxed look on his face was gone.
The solemn expression immediately made the surrounding air freeze.
Huo Wu also completely lost her playful interest, knowing that Quan Yi had entered a state of complete concentration.
After Quan Yi adjusted his mentality to the best state, he first summoned the Dark Gold Yang Dragon Claws, and then activated the Scarlet Dragon Eyes and Scarlet Dragon Horns.
Under the fire element perception and energy perspective, Quan Yi stretched out his right hand and released scorching high temperature towards the Mysterious Iron.
Under Quan Yi's exquisite control of the fire element, although his hand did not touch the Mysterious Iron, it evenly heated all parts of the Mysterious Iron.
Before long, the dark ore was evenly dyed with fiery red.
Without the need for a furnace, Quan Yi could use his hands to heat the metal red, and it was even more perfect than putting it in a furnace.
Under Quan Yi's control, the degree of softening inside and outside the metal reached the exact same level.
At this point, the Mysterious Iron had reached the optimal state for forging.
Quan Yi immediately stopped releasing high temperature, and then whispered: "Little Gold, Little Red, transform into hammers."
The metallic film covering Quan Yi's hands turned into liquid and detached from the body's surface.
Subsequently, two balls of liquid metal suspended in mid-air, two dragon roars sounded, and they transformed into the shape of two small hammers.
When the liquid metal completely formed, Quan Yi stretched out his hands and re-grasped the double hammers.
Although the shape had changed, the feeling of perfect integration remained the same, and these were still Quan Yi's Dark Gold Yang Dragon Claws.
Quan Yi's movements did not stop at all, he raised the double hammers and gently tapped the red-hot Mysterious Iron.
"Ding, ding, ding"
Huo Wu immediately noticed the difference in the forging technique.
