A refiner's spiritual sense was something that had been accumulated over a long period of time. It was something that could only be cultivated after countless refinements. It was a very precious feeling.
Su Zimo had only been in contact with weapon refinement for less than three months and naturally could not cultivate such a perception.
However, Su Zimo possessed a spirit perception as well.
This kind of spiritual sense was extremely sensitive to danger. How could he use his spiritual sense on Spirit Gathering?
Su Zimo conjured a scarlet Level 3 Spirit Fire in his right palm and began warming the tripod.
A moment later, Su Zimo withdrew a pure gold ore from his storage bag and placed it into the Weapon Tripod. He tossed in some other supplementary materials and began smelting.
Under the scorching heat of the Level 3 Spirit Fire, the materials within the Weapon Tripod melted into a liquid state and bubbled.
Spirit qi seeped out of the materials and spiraled within the Weapon Tripod, thickening gradually.
The impurities within the spirit liquid were purged and its volume shrunk continuously as well.
Before long, the smelting was completed.
Su Zimo retracted his spirit fire and waited for the temperature within the tripod to drop as he adjusted his breathing and prepared to shape.
After a moment, Su Zimo suddenly stood up and conjured a pair of spirit hands. He reached into the Weapon Tripod and began pinching.
Before long, the outline of a flying sword appeared within the Weapon Tripod.
Fourth step, tempering.
The Level 3 Spirit Fire appeared once more and burned the flying sword to a scarlet state. Su Zimo began hammering within.
After three months of practice, Su Zimo was extremely familiar with the first four steps of weapon refinement. The entire process was as smooth as flowing water without any sluggishness.
Within 15 minutes, the tempering was completed.
Once again, it was the most crucial step of spirit gathering.
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief and furrowed his brows slightly.
At this step, Su Zimo had already failed countless times and destroyed too many flying swords.
How could he resolve this problem?
Spirit perception, danger, spirit gathering, failure, flying sword shattering …
Countless words and images flashed through Su Zimo's mind repeatedly.
All of a sudden!
Su Zimo's eyes lit up as an idea flashed through his mind.
He thought of an idea!
Su Zimo's heart pounded uncontrollably. His face was filled with excitement, and his eyes were filled with joy.
This method could very well solve the problem of spirit gathering. In fact, it could even achieve a 100% success rate in spirit gathering!
One had to know that even the Advanced Weapon Refiners who could forge Upper Grade Spirit Weapons did not dare to say that their success rate in forging Lower Grade Spirit Weapons was 100%.
One could only say that the success rate was very high.
Su Zimo took a deep breath and suddenly withdrew the Weapon Refining Cauldron.
Logically speaking, the Spirit Gathering step should be carried out in the Weapon Tripod.
The fundamental reason for this was that no one could guarantee the success rate of spirit gathering. Once it failed, the flying sword would explode on the spot, causing sword fragments to fly everywhere.
The more spirit inscriptions were condensed, the more terrifying the explosion of the flying sword would be when it failed. It could even threaten the life of the blacksmith.
If it was carried out in the Weapon Crafting Cauldron, when the flying sword exploded, the sword shards would hit the walls of the cauldron and would not bounce out. Naturally, the Weapon Crafting Master would not be injured.
But now, Su Zimo had suddenly removed the Weapon Crafting Cauldron, exposing himself to possible dangers!
This was an action that was way too dangerous.
If any seniors of the sect were to see this, they would definitely speak up to stop Su Zimo.
However, at that moment, the glint in Su Zimo's eyes intensified.
He wanted to expose himself to danger. That was the only way for his spirit perception to be truly useful!
Su Zimo controlled the rich spirit qi around the flying sword and slowly gathered it on the sword.
All of a sudden!
Su Zimo's mind was alarmed.
Su Zimo stopped condensing spirit inscriptions hurriedly. The flying sword was perfectly fine without any changes.
Su Zimo heaved a sigh of relief.
Just Now, if he had continued condensing spirit inscriptions, the flying sword would have exploded on the spot if nothing went wrong!
Sensing danger, Su Zimo's spirit perception warned him in advance – this was what it meant to be a cicada sensing autumn before the wind blows.
Su Zimo adjusted his state slowly and controlled spirit qi to gather it on the sword once more.
Alarms flashed once more!
Su Zimo stopped what he was doing and continued to adjust without being in a hurry.
For the rest of the time, Su Zimo attempted spirit gathering repeatedly. However, he gave up once more when he sensed danger.
Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, an hour had passed.
Finally.
The spirit inscriptions on the sword gradually became clearer but Su Zimo did not sense any danger at all.
The spirit inscriptions were gradually taking form!
"Om!"
The sword vibrated gently and a clear sword hum reverberated through the cave abode.
It was done!
A clear spirit inscription was condensed on the sword and shone with a resplendent light.
Although it was only an inferior-grade spirit weapon, it was created by him.
Looking at the flying sword that was hovering not far away, Su Zimo felt a sense of pride that he had never felt before.
If the spirit gathering failed, the flying sword would explode and the Weapon Refinement Master would be in danger. However, with his spirit perception, Su Zimo could sense the danger beforehand.
In reality, it was equivalent to knowing that the spirit gathering would fail in advance. From there, he could give up on the spirit gathering and make adjustments before trying again.
This method of spirit gathering was unprecedented and difficult for future generations to replicate.
This was a unique spirit gathering method that belonged to Su Zimo!
At that moment, Su Zimo did not realize that his action of removing the Weapon Tripod would have a huge impact on the weapon refinement world of the future, causing countless Weapon Refinement Masters to imitate it.
Not far away, a spirit inscription was condensed on the scarlet sword. There was still plenty of spirit qi in the surroundings and it was enough for a second spirit inscription.
A bold idea flashed through Su Zimo's mind.
Since this spirit gathering method could have a 100% success rate, he might as well attempt to condense a second spirit inscription and create a middle-grade flying sword!
Su Zimo composed himself and continued to burn the flying sword. The sword was scarlet and crystalline.
Swoosh!
Spirit qi surged and gathered on the sword.
No!
Su Zimo was alarmed once more and stopped hurriedly.
It was yet another long period of repeated attempts that ended in failure.
In the blink of an eye, four hours had passed and there was still no success. Each time he attempted spirit gathering, Su Zimo would sense the danger beforehand.
After such a long period of consumption, Su Zimo's spirit qi was almost depleted and he was mentally exhausted as well.
He could not hold on any longer.
"Seems like I've underestimated weapon refinement," Su Zimo shook his head.
Right after he created an inferior-grade spirit weapon, Su Zimo had a momentary fantasy that he would be able to create a supreme-grade spirit weapon of his own before long!
But now, it seemed like that was too naive and idealistic.
No matter what, for Su Zimo, creating inferior-grade spirit weapons was no longer an issue!
Furthermore, he had even created a spirit gathering method that belonged to him. As long as he made good use of it, he would definitely be able to create supreme-grade spirit weapons in the future.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Su Zimo placed the scarlet flying sword in cold water for the final quenching step.
Shing!
The scarlet flying sword collided with the cold water and white smoke billowed out. The power of cold and heat caused the flying sword to become even more indestructible and the spirit inscription was set!
Looking at the unusually sharp flying sword in his palm that shone with a cold glint, Su Zimo smiled.
