Chapter 1937 Two Head Elder's Collaboration
As Lin Mu marveled about the Gold Blaze Dragon's Flames, Head Elder Heng was busy controlling it.
His fingers danced in the air, as he employed his immortal sense to control the flames. Lin Mu observed it and discovered that Head Elder Heng was using his Immortal sense in two ways.
He had divided his Immortal sense into two parts, with one part connecting with the Flame Soul Lamp and the the second part directly connecting with the Flames themselves.
'I guess he needs a link to the Flame Soul Lamp in order to actually control the flames.' Lin Mu understood.
The flames continued to strengthen and spread until they had fully covered the entirety of the forge. The illusory figure of the Gold Blaze Dragon had also retreated within the flames, which had further empowered them.
It was clear that the illusory figure had only appeared at the start since the flames of the Gold Blaze Dragon had been unleashed after a long time.
"Head Elder Dajian, now." Head Elder Heng said causing the other old man to begin the process.
Head Elder Dajian took out what looked like a large wooden branch that was about 20 centimeters thick and three meters long. The branch was dark brown in color and had a few white spots on it spread along its bark.
"A Branch of the Snow Glass Pear Tree?" Lin Mu recognized. "No wait… It's a branch of Elder Pear himself!" he sensed the familiar energy signature from the branch.

~SHING~
Next, the Head Elder took out a blade that looked like a machete. The blade was silver in color and had six runes carved on it which Lin Mu identified to be for sharpness.
The old man swung the machete at the wooden branch, slicing away strips of it. His hand moved fast leaving behind afterimages making it difficult for the people to figure out where he was cutting.
By the time he was done slicing one part, he had already moved on to the other side.
But this wasn't all, as the sliced off slivers of wood actually fell into the wood, releasing a cold energy which then rose and coated the wooden branch again.
This process prepped several times until finally the wooden branch had been reduced to a much smaller size it was now seven centimeter thick and two meters long. It had a slight curve at the bottom, while its top was straight.
"Is head Elder Dajian carving a staff?" The juniors wondered.
Lin Mu thought the same too, as it didn't make sense taking out a wooden branch while forging. But when he observed the shape of the carved wooden branch further, he realized that it wasn't actually a staff.
"No, it can't be a staff. Its balance would be too off in this shape." Lin Mu muttered. "Considering it is thicker at the bottom and a bit curved, it seems like a handle instead." He determined.
Now the only question was what did this handle belong to?
~SIZZLE~
Just as everyone was wondering this, Head Elder Dajian took out a large barrel that was filled with a liquid of some kind. The liquid started to heat up and boil as soon as it came in contact with the flames.
"Tilt it," Head Elder Heng asked and the other head elder obliged.
The barrel was tilted into the furnace, causing the liquid to directly pour into the flames.
"Rise!" Head Elder Heng split his Immortal sense further this time using the third part to control the liquid.
"Is that a mixture of Dark Pine Oil, Spirit Sandalwood Sap and Iron Wood amber?" A junior nearby seemed to have recognized.
"Yes! Seems like Head Elder Dajian is going to soak the wood in it!" The others became sure of it too now.
The three materials were known by Lin Mu too and were rather common too.
'I didn't know they could be used in a mix this way… wait, now I see! Iron Wood Amber is solid, but when mixed with the Dark Pine Oil it can be dissolved and the Spirit Sandalwood Sap provides additional support to it.' Lin Mu quickly analyzed the mixture of the three materials.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEveryone watched as the liquid floated in the air above the yellow flames and gathered into a sphere. The flames kept on heating the liquid sphere and its size kept on reducing. About fifteen minutes later, the sphere had reduced to less than half its size.
"Coat it!" Head Elder Dajian raised the wooden handle, and inserted it into the liquid sphered.
~HISS~
A high pitched sound was heard, as the boiling hot liquid which had been tempered over the flames touched the cold wood. It then started to enter the pores of the wood, coating it fully.
The two elders continued to temper the wood over the yellow flames, until all of the liquid was fully absorbed into it. The wood had now changed its texture and become smooth.
It had a shiny gleam on its surface and had grown a bit thicker too.
"They finished the handle!"?The juniors were excited.
But this was merely the start. They still didn't know what weapon was being made here. They only knew that the signature glass weapon of the Serene Glass Valley would be made.
"It is time. Prepare the mold." Head Elder Dajian spoke and Head Elder Heng nodded.
The old man took out a chunk of solid rock which he then quickly cut into two halves and started to carve out a cavity within it. This was the mold into which the sap of the Snow Glass Pear Tree.
The juniors were able to see the shape in which the cavity was carved and finally realized what the Head Elders were making.
"A double headed battle Axe?" Lin Mu identified as well.
