"Thirty-two!"
"Thirty-three!"
Exclamations of shock continually erupted from the plaza.
Had Xu Ping’an actually integrated thirty-three hand seals?
This had already surpassed Master Yan Wu, hadn’t it?
Could it be that he was about to break the Refining Alliance’s rankings? If successful, his na would surely spread throughout the entire imperial capital, even the whole empire.
Bai Hen and Yan Wu exchanged surprised looks, their expressions grave, no longer speaking.
Ti kept passing.
Xu Ping’an was still condensing hand seals, imprinting them into the molten iron.
At this mont, the molten iron had beco dazzlingly multicolored, the fluctuations it contained imnsely terrifying.
Even with Xu Ping’an’s expulsion of so much True Yuan, the consumption was enormous.
During this period, he even took several Explosive Elental Pills.
Thus, the energy within the molten iron was now incredibly fearso.
However, Xu Ping’an was still not stopping, casting the thirty-fifth hand seal.
This one seal had exhausted the majority of the True Yuan within his body.
"Thirty-five seals now, does he still want to continue? Thirty-six seals should already be at the level of an Immortal Artifact, no?" an Artifact Refiner exclaid in surprise.
"It won’t reach that level. To refine an Immortal Artifact, you need not just True Yuan but also powerful Soul Power. Otherwise, it’s simply impossible to condense the thirty-sixth hand seal," Yan Wu shook his head and said.
The surrounding people suddenly understood, their hearts imdiately filled with curiosity.
What was Xu Ping’an doing then?
"Could it be that he wants to create a pseudo-Immortal Artifact? Impossible!" Bai Hen suddenly cried out.
A pseudo-Immortal Artifact?
Yan Wu’s pupils also shrank.
This Xu Ping’an could create a pseudo-Immortal Artifact?
"Master Bai Hen, what is a pseudo-Immortal Artifact?" soone asked.
"A so-called pseudo-Immortal Artifact is a Superior Grade Spirit Instrunt with thirty-six inscriptions. The quality of such a Superior Grade Spirit Instrunt is infinitely close to that of an Immortal Artifact, but because the thirty-sixth hand seal isn’t condensed by Soul Power, it does not reach the level of an Immortal Artifact, hence it’s referred to as a pseudo-Immortal Artifact," Bai Hen explained.
Upon hearing this, everyone had a mont of realization.
But they were also shocked. Was Xu Ping’an capable of refining a pseudo-Immortal Artifact?
Off to the side, Tang Qingyu also understood. So, was Xu Ping’an crafting for her the best quality Superior Grade Spirit Instrunt?
Comparable to an Immortal Artifact?
This...
"You’re getting quite a bargain," Song Lingxue humd to Tang Qingyu.
Tang Qingyu said nothing, but if Xu Ping’an was successful, then it would indeed be a huge stroke of luck for her.
Yan Wu hesitated for a mont and then said, "Condensing thirty-six hand seals will make the subsequent hamring extrely difficult. To integrate thirty-six hand seals, one must hamr out thirty-six inscriptions, and this level of difficulty is too high."
"Indeed, hamring out the unique inscriptions is the most crucial step. With each additional inscription, the recoil will increase exponentially. The recoil from thirty inscriptions could already kill a Fifth Rank First Layer Realm Cultivator outright," Bai Hen said.
The pupils of everyone around constricted.
The recoil from the thirtieth inscription could tear apart a Fifth Rank powerhouse?
So, how terrifying would the recoil from the thirty-sixth inscription be?
This...
As Artifact Refiners, they all knew that the hand seals and inscriptions had to correspond, or success would be impossible.
If the inscriptions were insufficient for the hand seals, the entire weapon would shatter, and the Artifact Refining would be a complete failure.
So, the inscriptions must be hamred out.
Upon hearing this, Tang Qingyu couldn’t help but feel nervous.
Would Xu Ping’an succeed?
If he succeeded, she would own a pseudo-Immortal Artifact, but this was too difficult.
Xu Ping’an was unaware of their thoughts; at this mont, he had finished integrating the thirty-sixth hand seal.
With the True Yuan of the thirty-six hand seals integrated, the molten iron beca crystal clear, free of any impurities.
The integration of the True Yuan hand seals was also a process of removing impurities.
Looking at the molten iron before him, Xu Ping’an nodded in satisfaction and wiped the beads of sweat off his forehead.
```
After all, his cultivation level was only at the Fourth Rank and fifth level, so one can imagine how great the exhaustion would be to complete thirty-six hand seals.
"Next is the process of Embryo Condensation. Tang Qingyu, what style do you want your sword to be?" Xu Ping’an called out to Tang Qingyu who was not far away.
"I want a sword that is three feet and an inch long, with a blade that is two feet and five and a half inches," Tang Qingyu said.
Xu Ping’an nodded, no longer speaking.
The next mont, a sword that was three feet and one inch long condensed in front of Xu Ping’an.
The process of Embryo Condensation was not difficult; it only required controlling the molten iron with True Yuan.
This posed no challenge for Xu Ping’an at all.
After the success of Embryo Condensation, Xu Ping’an carved so exquisite patterns on the sword and also fashioned a beautiful design for the hilt.
Considering that the sword was for a woman, it was only appropriate to make it a bit more refined.
Seeing the sword taking shape, Tang Qingyu was also filled with excitent.
The sword suited her perfectly; Xu Ping’an had even crafted raindrop shapes on it, which corresponded well with her na.
However, Bai Hen and Yan Wu showed surprised expressions once again.
"This is what a real Artifact Refiner is," Bai Hen suddenly exclaid with emotion.
"Master Bai Hen, why say such a thing? Making designs on a sword is a basic skill, isn’t it? We can all do it," an Interdiate Grade Artifact Refiner remarked from the side.
The other Artifact Refiners nodded in agreent.
Creating designs was not difficult; they had seen many that were more exquisite.
"Humph, a bunch of incompetents, you should open your eyes wide and look carefully, can your designs compare to these?" Bai Hen scoffed.
The group of Artifact Refiners looked puzzled. Why had Master Bai Hen suddenly beco angry?
"The designs made by Master Qin Feng are indeed quite different from yours. To you, these designs might seem like insignificant steps that only need to look good, but Master Qin Feng’s designs are more than that," Yan Wu interjected.
The people around grew even more puzzled.
Could there be a secret to the design?
Even Tang Qingyu looked doubtful. Did these designs serve another purpose?
"You bunch of worthlessness, the designs made by my master might not be the most attractive, but they are the most suitable for the flow of True Yuan, especially for Tang Qingyu’s True Yuan flow. If Tang Qingyu uses the sword my master forged, the speed at which True Yuan is infused will certainly be twice as fast as it is with other Superior Grade Spirit Instrunts," Song Lingxue scoffed.
Upon hearing this, the entire place was shocked.
All those present were astounded.
Could the engraved patterns really hasten the infusion of True Yuan?
How is that possible?
Even Tang Qingyu was stunned.
This was her first ti hearing that these designs could have such an effect.
And how did Qin Feng know her True Yuan circulation patterns?
"Just watch carefully. This observation isn’t just for entertainnt; it’s a rare learning opportunity for you all. Master Qin Feng’s attention to detail in so aspects is more precise than you can imagine, even we have gained a lot just by observing," Yan Wu said.
At these words, the surrounding Artifact Refiners were utterly shocked.
At this point, many of them began to concentrate and observe seriously.
They gradually realized that they were witnessing a very precious artifact-refining demonstration.
Perhaps this ti, a pseudo-Immortal Artifact might really be born.
Xu Ping’an paid no attention to these people; he was already preparing to hamr in the inscriptions.
This was the most crucial step and the most difficult one as well.
Even he had to give it his all, pouring his entire spirit into the task.
Then, a hamr completely condensed from True Yuan appeared in Xu Ping’an’s hand.
"True Yuan as a hamr, he’s not using a physical hamr?" Yan Wu and Bai Hen were both incredibly surprised.
The other Artifact Refiners were also astonished.
Using True Yuan as a hamr was one of the most brilliant techniques of an Artifact Refiner, as it could maximize the unique properties of the inscriptions.
But the difficulty of this technique was exponentially higher, and even Yan Wu dared not use the True Elental Hamr to refine Superior Grade Spirit Instrunts, let alone Immortal Artifacts.
Was Xu Ping’an actually planning to use the True Elental Hamr to forge a Superior Grade Spirit Instrunt?
No...
It was an Immortal Artifact!
Wasn’t that too astounding?
