Chapter 454: First ti doing blacksmith job!
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
It was the whole life experience of a Spirit level blacksmith.
His host soul turned into a beam of light, entering the halo of the mories. It was like he had just visited a whole new earth and firmant!
Scenes of treasure refining process appeared in that light of mory. It told the story of that Spirit level Blacksmith from the ti he had known nothing about refining. He then tried to practice the refining thod. Step by step, he gradually held a good grasp of the secret techniques in refining treasures. His experience had been built up through thousands of tis of refining treasures. The scenes of his progress were shown one by one inside the halo of mory.
His host soul sank into it, watching countless scenes moving quickly in front of his eyes. It was like he was visiting a museum. All of a sudden, he felt helpless as he didn’t know where to start.
He found the scene in which the blacksmith had started his training in refining treasures, cald down and started to perceive the practice.
This Spirit level blacksmith used to know nothing about refining, and his knowledge of the subtle features of refining was just a white blank.
The blacksmith used a human fla. The first ti he refined sothing, he had used various tals and crystals to forge a rough ring. A simple Spirit Gathering Array was carved on the ring to absorb the energy from the crystals. This ring was the simplest secret treasure with minor functions. It could absorb the Profound Qi and release it inside with just a flicker of thought from its master. But it could burst out only once.
The energy a simple Spirit Gathering Array could absorb was limited. Perhaps it wasn’t even as strong as a full-force strike from a Disaster Realm warrior.
However, to Shi Yan, it was really tough to forge just a small treasure like that.
He lingered on that scene, quieted down his mind to grasp the knowledge. It was an unknown period of ti until he could rember all the details.
He then left the halo of mory, wandering around the vault in search for the necessary materials to fabricate this Spirit Gathering Ring.
His thought fluttered as he was urging the power of the Earth Fla in his body. A small fla erged from his palm while his finger was continually pointing at the tals in front of him. The three types of black tals, jade crystals, and flint flew out one by one, falling into his small fla.
Those three materials were being refined in the fla. He didn’t know how long it had been until he was finally done. He then sent his Soul Consciousness into the fla. Inside the liquid that resulted from the three materials’ complete slting, he saw nurous impurities. Controlling the fiery fla, he started to lt these impurities down.
However, when he had just enhanced the fiery fla, the liquid from the materials slting evaporated directly.
Shi Yan frowned. He knew his first ti refining sothing had failed.
Apparently, he hadn’t mastered his control over the fiery fla. When he wanted to use the fla to lt the impurities, he had pushed it a little too much and had accidentally evaporated the materials he had been refining.
He hadn’t even combined the materials completely, no need to ntion embedding the Spirit Gathering Array in it. If he couldn’t carve the Spirit Gathering Array, he couldn’t even form the initial shape of the treasure.
Shaking his head, Shi Yan didn’t feel angry. He didn’t hurry to start it all over again but tried to control the fla, using his soul and mind to control it. Gradually, he got used to the degree of the fla when he adjusted it, trying to feel it every ti he increased the heat. This helped him have a more accurate heat control.
This process took him a lot of ti. Waiting until he realized that he could control the fiery fla well enough to refine the impurities, he took out a new set of the three materials and continued to forge the Spirit Gathering Ring.
When the three materials were gradually being lted in the fla, he was able to control the fla well to increase or decrease the power in ti.
He was extrely careful this ti.
The fiery fla was increasing little by little. After it reached the right degree, the liquid from the material’s lting didn’t evaporate while the impurities had been turning into smoke, burning down inside the fla.
He felt joy. However, when he continued to increase the heat, the three materials continued to be lted. He imdiately knew that the temperature was over the three materials yielding limit.
He tried doing it again.
The cultivating materials in this vault were really rich, enough for him to waste. In this vault, he didn’t care about his als or sleep, and wholly focused on his first treasure refining.
The Spirit Gathering Ring was one of the simplest secret treasures, as it required only three kinds of materials. He had tried eight tis before he could finally have it done.
Eventually, he could eliminate the impurities. After he had fused the three materials, he used the cold air from the Ice Cold Fla.
As the cold ice was released, the three materials which had been combined in one chunk suddenly condensed.
Crack!
Due to the intense cold air, the three materials cracked down into pieces of brown stone.
He failed again.
Shi Yan took a deep breath, rubbed his temples and bead a forced smile.
The simplest procedure of refining treasure had wasted much of his energy. Not only did he need to precisely control the heat of the Earth Fla, but also needed to be patient when he condensed the material, as it required to be carried out in an orderly way, and couldn’t be finished in a rush.
The more impatient he was, the faster he would fail. This was like the cultivation process of a warrior. Calming down his mind, he proceeded to a new round of refining process.
Ti flew.
After nine tis of failure, inside the vault, he had an absolutely new realization in using cold air to condense the lted materials. Finally, he had successfully refined the three materials into the initial shape of the ring. The jade-like transparent ring had undergone so many failures to have this primary shape of a ring.
Inscribing the Spirit Gathering Array!
His intention changed. He concentrated attentively on refining the Profound Qi in his body, turning it into a beam of light pouring into the Spirit Gathering Ring.
Guiding the strange energy of the materials inside the Spirit Gathering Ring, he started to work like he was painting. Under the guidance of the Soul Consciousness, he engraved the Spirit Gathering Array on the Spirit Gathering Ring.
Beams of Soul Consciousness attached to the Spirit Gathering Ring. His Soul Consciousness was moving at extrely fast speed. Each ti he had urged this strange energy, his own energy was consud much. Only a small mistake would chaotically disrupt the path creating by the strange energies.
Strange energies in the Spirit Gathering Ring suddenly ran disorderly like a group of mad horses. A crack echoed from the Spirit Gathering Ring, and it exploded.
Shi Yan had a headache, shaking his head while looking at the broken ring. He mused for a while before starting all over again.
He had failed twelve tis already.
When carving the Spirit Gathering Array, the energy to be spent would be enormous, which would cause so minor mistake midway. After each mistake, the Spirit Gathering Array would change accordingly, leading to the explosion of the ring.
To portray the array, he had to do it coherently without any interruption in the middle of the process. Also, he must not distract himself to lead to any mistakes, even the tiny ones.
Only when he had done everything accurately in carving the complete Spirit Gathering Array on the ring could he retrieve his Soul Consciousness.
It was simple to say, but really tough to do.
He had done the trials continuously, and his failures also ca successively. This attack almost had him collapsed, giving him a dispirited feeling as if he could never see the hope of success.
The simplest refining had unexpectedly wasted a lot of his energy and will. But, he still hadn’t succeeded. He now realized that the blacksmith stuff was even more strenuous than warriors’ cultivating process! In the past, he had progressed quickly from the Nascent Realm, and none of the difficulties he had t were as tough and complicated as this refining.
Sitting neatly in the vault, he frowned while looking at the materials he had trashed. Shi Yan then held his breath to concentrate and restore his mind.
After adjusting his breath for a while, he felt his mind and Qi had been recovered to the peak, and attempted one more ti.
This ti, the embryonic form of the Spirit Gathering Ring had been created several tis faster than his previous trials. Practice made a man perfect, that was surely true. After many tis of refining, he didn’t fail to make the embryonic form of the ring.
Afterward, the Spirit Gathering Ring was finished. He then used his Soul Consciousness to urge the strange energies of the three materials themselves and guide them to draft the Spirit Gathering Array.
He was completely concentrating this ti. He didn’t even blink, just kept gazing at the Spirit Gathering Ring.
The thoughts from his Soul Consciousness turned into light beams, guiding the strange energies running inside the Spirit Gathering Ring. He was using his Soul Consciousness to carve the simple array. Moreover, he was receiving constant feedback from the mystical essence of this array.
Due to his extre focus, sweat had covered his entire body not long after he had started. Beads of sweat were rolling down his face from his forehead.
He didn’t dare get distracted. As if he were entering the bedevilnt phase, his mind was wandering in so mysterious realm while his Soul Consciousness was traveling through the ring. He carefully controlled the strange energies and drew the simple Spirit Gathering Array. This step was to complete the ring.
Drawing it at one go!
Tinkle!
A tinkling sound echoed from the Spirit Gathering Ring as the ring was radiating an imnse silver halo. Inside the ring was a weak suction force that ordinary people couldn’t sense.
Shi Yan was drenched in sweat, smilingly looking at the silvery Spirit Gathering Ring.
He then took out a dium quality Profound Qi crystal and put it in the ring. The Spirit Gathering Array on the ring was invisible at first, but after the Profound Qi started to pour into the ring, it gradually appeared, as the small ring had activated its magical suction force to draw the energy.
The Spirit Gathering Spell on the ring had been activated.
The ring started to absorb beams of energy inside the Profound Qi crystal as the Spirit Gathering Array guided them into the ring.
Roughly one hour later, a dium quality Profound Qi crystal had turned into stone. The energy inside had been absorbed completely.
After the ring had absorbed energy from a dium quality Profound Qi crystal, it beca translucent. Moreover, the silver halo was getting brighter, and could light up the area ten ters around it.
Shi Yan took out a high-quality Profound Qi crystal and put it in the Spirit Gathering Ring. He then observed the process where the ring was taking in the energy.
Soon, that crystal was drained. Shi Yan smiled, as he felt he had achieved sothing really good. He put another high-quality Profound Qi crystal inside the ring.
One day had passed, and the Spirit Gathering Ring had absorbed five Profound Qi crystals
The ring beca dazzling. Inside the ring, vehent surging energy was rippling. If he released the energy at once, it would be equal to a full force strike of a Disaster Realm warrior.
Shi Yan felt content.
At his first ti in refining treasures, after so many failures, he aced it in the end.
