"Hu!"
Green flames of spiritual energy surged out of Li Yao's body. However, this time, they were no longer condensed into the shape of a vulture or an eagle. Instead, they gradually condensed into an enormous furnace, which expanded to almost fifty meters away and spread all the way up, enshrouding all the three pieces of broken magical equipment!
Hiu! Hiu! Hiu! Hiu!
The 'furnace' that was made of pure spiritual energy began to revolve rapidly. It raised a tremendous attraction force and absorbed the pieces of Bu Tiantong's' Burning Sun Great Armor 'that were scattered on the ground just now into the furnace!
"Look!"
Many high-level Cultivators exclaimed at the sky.
The clouds above the 'furnace' were vaguely attracted by the attraction force and turned into dragons, clouds, tigers, and all kinds of splendid forms as they lunged at the furnace!
The Bronze Censer Peak only looked like a furnace in the beginning. It could not be used for refining.
However, 'Master Spiritual Vulture', the grandmaster of sword forging who had received the heritage of the Great Zhou Dynasty from the primeval age, had truly performed a marvelous art of refining by throwing himself into the furnace with the sky and the earth as the furnace and the clouds as the fuel!
"Is he trying to repair the three pieces of broken magical equipment in this place where there is not even a furnace?"
"How is it possible? The three pieces of magical equipment are all seriously damaged. At the very least, they will need tremendous Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to be polished in a furnace for days and nights in order to be repaired, right?"
"How — how is he going to do it exactly?"
Right when all the Cultivators and sword forgers were surprised, a cluster of broken crimson powder suddenly drifted out of the furnace of spiritual energy. Then, the powder was ablaze after a loud noise!
For a moment, the hundreds of square meters nearby turned into a burning inferno of smoke. Even the high-level Cultivators hundreds of meters away felt that the flames were licking their eyes, and their skin was almost breaking apart.
"What kind of fire is this? Why is the temperature so high?"
"Even iron can be melted into liquid at such a high temperature. How is Master Spiritual Vulture safe and sound in the middle of the flames?"
"Look, the flames are still changing!"
Before they could finish their words, the crimson flames suddenly turned into purple flames, and then into pure white flames. They were so beautiful that they looked like clusters of translucent crystals, but their temperature was so high that the air was completely distorted. Looking from afar, the spiritual energy furnace looked like a giant heart that was contracting and expanding. Thump! Thump! Thump!
All the self-cultivators heard a shocking sound coming from the depths of the furnace.
He also saw that the thick smoke in the beginning was gradually soaked by spiritual energy as the temperature rose higher and higher. It turned into colors that looked like crystals, as if pillars of colorful jade were extending to the sky, turning the furnace of spiritual energy into a giant crystal!
It was such a beautiful scene that almost everyone's breathing stopped.
They had never seen such a magnificent crafting technique before.
This was normal.
Because this was not a refining technique at all, but a sound and visual effect deliberately created by Li Yao.
In the depths of the spirit energy furnace.
Of the entire furnace, only the outermost layer was the most glamorous shell that was thousands of degrees high in temperature.
As for the inside of the furnace, it was still at a normal temperature under the isolation of barriers.
The shell that was thousands of degrees high was partly meant to intimidate people and partly to prevent other people from prying into it with telepathic thoughts so that Li Yao could hide inside and perform the seemingly mundane operations.
The three pieces of broken magical equipment were all floating in front of Li Yao.
The marvelous equipment that Li Yao took out of his pocket, on the other hand, was a tube of … glue that was specifically designed to temporarily repair magical equipment!
The glue was somewhat similar to the liquid metal that could automatically repair the shell of a starship. It was also the cutting-edge research achievement in the material science of the modern Cultivation civilization.
Once it was smeared on the damaged part of the magical equipment, a powerful attraction force would be generated instantly, which would stick the broken part together and show the features of the damaged part.
The adhesiveness and firmness of the glue were both high. It had a high conductivity of spiritual energy and a very stable property. It was compatible with almost all metals and alloys, and it could restore at least two thirds of the power of the repaired magical equipment.
The only shortcoming of the glue was that it did not have a long lifespan. After being exposed to the air for a few days, it would gradually lose its effect and turn into powder.
Therefore, it was only an emergency measure for temporary maintenance in a battlefield.
Li Yao intentionally mixed a few kinds of pure Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into the glue so that it could be disguised as the natural materials extracted from the 'Great Zhou Dynasty' in the primeval age.
Just now, of course, he could have just repaired the magical equipment with the glue dutifully in front of everybody without the fancy shell.
However, in such a way, would he be any different from a shoe repairman on the street?
Nowadays, 3D special effects and surround sound were all that mattered to the Cultivators. Glamour and coolness were all that mattered!
"Alright. I'll clean the back half of the spear first. Then, I'll remove the dragon that will be the counterweight and move it up a little before I stick it on again!"
"This sword is easy to fix. As long as it fits perfectly, the gap in the middle will be temporarily filled with the glue."
"The key is the hole on the Thunderous Dual Gas Cymbals. It can't be helped. I'll have to cut out a repair particle that is exactly the same!"
"Right. I can't perform the maintenance without a sound. Let me play some music with my abdomen!"
BOOM!
All the Cultivators outside were waiting anxiously when an explosion suddenly burst out from the splendid, overwhelming furnace of spiritual energy, shaking the entire Bronze Censer Peak!
While everybody was in chaos, wondering what was going on inside the furnace of spiritual energy, soul-stirring noises echoed from the depths of the furnace again!
The noises grew louder and louder until they gradually turned into the noises of a battlefield, as if thousands of soldiers were having a fierce battle inside the furnace!
Not only were the high-level Cultivators on the Bronze Censer Peak deeply shocked, even the middle-level and low-level Cultivators who were waiting below the Bronze Censer Peak saw the changes in the sky clearly.
"What's going on?"
"The competition between the Sword Maniac and Master Righteous One lasted for so long?"
"It doesn't feel like their aura. This aura is rather strange, but it can't be more domineering!"
"Look. The clouds in the sky have all condensed into a giant swirl, as if they are about to be absorbed by something!"
The shocking refining process lasted for an entire incense stick's worth of time.
Then, the crafting furnace made of smoke and flames gradually spread out like ice melting in water, turning into wisps of mist that floated to the sky.
The sky turned into a colorful swirl that did not disperse for a long time.
Li Yao was sitting cross-legged at the center of the sword test field, like a meditating monk or an ancient tree. An indescribable sense of simplicity was spreading out from his body, making him look like an ancient man who had traveled back in time from tens of thousands of years ago.
Three pieces of magical equipment floated above his head quietly. Mystic rays were fluctuating in the air, with the roars of tigers and dragons vaguely echoing!
Suddenly, the three pieces of magical equipment turned into three streaks of brilliance and flew toward their original owners!
"This is —"
Li Zhuilang was the first to exclaim in shock.
As he shook his spear, a dragon seemed to have entangled him from the tip of the spear and melted into his veins. It could not have been more agile and smooth!
It was as if the Spiritual Dragon Sea Piercing Spear did not really belong to him until today after decades of hard work!
"So — so, it's because it's too long!"
Li Zhuilang almost roared to the sky.
Over the past decades, he had been practicing the Sky Piercing Arts that his father had left him. But no matter how hard he trained himself, and even when his level was much higher than his father's peak years, he always felt that there was something as thin as a cicada's wing between him and the ultimate of the spear art!
He had thought that it was because there were flaws in his training. Referring to his father's notes, he trained himself crazily and tried to be exactly like his father in every detail. Little did he know that he was getting further and further away from the perfection in his heart.
It gradually became a knot in his heart, and he was almost mentally deranged!
It was not until today that he realized that the problem did not lie with him but with the spear!
Touching the Spiritual Dragon Sea Piercing Spear that had just been reborn, Li Zhuilang sighed with complicated feelings. Indescribable brilliance was beaming out of his eyes when he looked at Li Yao.
Bu Tiantong of the Gold Armor Clan and Ren Changkong of the Thunderstorm Valley, the two Cultivators in the middle level of the Nascent Soul Stage, were the same. They touched their magical equipment carefully, but they could not sense even the tiniest gap in the damaged parts.
The two of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes. They felt that their magical equipment had not really been woken up until after Li Yao's repair. The feeling was like …
It was like the original magical equipment was just a fake, and it was only through Li Yao's hands that the magical equipment became the unparalleled real equipment!
"Don't be happy too early."
Narrowing his eyes, Li Yao said casually, "Time is of the essence today, and there are no suitable magical equipment or materials here. I only did a rough job and did not completely heal the 'internal wounds' of the three pieces of magical equipment!
"Right now, they are all strong on the outside but weak on the inside. They seem to be flawless, but they cannot withstand real polishing and fighting!
"If you feel that the effect is satisfactory, you are free to come to me later and talk about what price you are willing to pay for the real repair of the three pieces of magical equipment!
"Of course, if you think that the sword forgers of your own sects can solve the problems in the future without leaving any latent problems behind, you are free to do so. Consider the methods that I've shown you earlier as a gift for free!"
"However, if anything goes wrong in the near future, don't waste my time anymore!"
That was one of the advantages of being a refiner. As long as you were in control of your weakness, you would not be scared that you would not obey.
Li Yao's memories had been expanded to the Yuanying phase. He was one of the top experts in the Hundred Smelting Clan. Naturally, Li Yao was quite familiar with the methods of extortion.
"Well …"
