Draw Goddess from Douluo

In the deep and ancient Casting Pavilion, the dim lights barely illuminated the surrounding walls. This is an ancient place that has been silent for a long time, as if time has frozen here, and only the inheritance of the art of casting is silently circulating. Lin Fan stood in this mysterious space with firm and focused eyes.

He clearly remembered his original intention of coming here. In order to master the coveted art of forging, he did not hesitate to travel across mountains and rivers and undergo many tests. Now, he finally stood on this threshold, full of expectations but also nervous.

"I will study the art of casting and refining seriously." Lin Fan took a deep breath and said to the old man in front of him. His voice was not high, but it revealed an unquestionable firmness.

Ling Lao raised his head slightly, and a deep flame seemed to flash in his cloudy eyes. He looked at the young man in front of him carefully, as if he wanted to see into his heart through those bright eyes. After a moment, he let out a long sigh.

"They all said that before, but what happened next?" Old Ling shook his head slowly, with a bitter smile on his face. Over the years, he has witnessed too many people come and go, and those vowed promises eventually came to nothing. It had been a long time since he had seen someone with such firm eyes as Lin Fan, but that didn't mean he would believe it easily.

When Lin Fan heard what Mr. Ling said, he understood in his heart that he was reminding him. This road is full of unknowns and difficulties, and it cannot be walked on with just enthusiasm. But he did not back down, but strengthened his belief.

"They are them, and I am me." Lin Fan said decisively again. This time, his voice was clearer and stronger. It was as if there was an invisible force supporting him, allowing him to face difficulties without flinching.

Old Ling was slightly stunned. He did not expect that this seemingly thin young man would have such strong determination. He looked at Lin Fan intently, trying to find the long-lost persistence and determination in this young man. After a long time, he slowly nodded, his voice seemed much calmer.

"I hope what you said is the same as what you will do in the future." Elder Ling said slowly. Although he did not express his attitude directly, Lin Fan could feel the looseness in his tone. That was enough for him, at least he successfully took the first step.

In the days that followed, Lin Fan devoted himself wholeheartedly to learning the art of forging. He left early and returned late, working tirelessly on various forging techniques. Whenever he encounters a difficult problem, he will humbly ask Elder Ling for advice, and then think and practice over and over again until he masters it.

Old Ling was gradually moved by Lin Fan's persistence and perseverance. He began to guide Lin Fan more attentively, imparting his experience and insights to him without reservation. Under Lin Fan's efforts and Ling Lao's careful guidance, his forging skills gradually improved, and he was soon able to complete some simple forging tasks independently.

However, this is just the beginning. Lin Fan knew that to truly master the art of forging, he would need to go through more rigorous tests and countless practices. But he will not give up no matter what, because he has found his own path and goal.

Time passed like water. After countless days and nights of diligent study, Lin Fan finally faced his first real test - forging a spiritual weapon of his own. This is a level that every forger must go through, and it is also the best test of the knowledge they have learned.

Under the watchful eye of Ling Lao, Lin Fan began his first attempt to forge a spiritual weapon. He first mixed the various ingredients together in proportion and then melted them into a liquid state in the fire. Then he used the casting skills he learned to pour the liquid metal into the mold, and constantly adjusted the temperature and force to maintain the fluidity and stability of the metal.

This process seems simple but is full of countless unknowns and challenges. The slightest carelessness would lead to wasted efforts, but Lin Fan did not flinch or panic. He always remained calm and focused, moving forward step by step with his excellent skills and firm belief.

Finally, after experiencing countless long and tense moments, Lin Fan successfully forged his first spiritual weapon - a long sword shining with cyan light. Although this long sword still seemed a bit rough and imperfect, in Lin Fan's eyes it was a priceless treasure. Because he knew that this long sword not only represented his efforts and achievements over the years, but also symbolized that he had taken a solid and powerful step in the way of forging.

Elder Ling looked at the young man and the blue sword in front of him, a trace of relief and appreciation flashed in his eyes. He knew that this young man had passed the most severe test and proved his worth and strength. From now on, he will truly step into the mysterious and noble ranks of Forgers to pursue his own dreams and glory.
