It was the refining experience of a Sacred Level Blacksmith in his whole life!
The host soul turned into a bunch of light, entering the luminous memory. He felt like he had entered a whole new world!
Precious scenes of refining treasures were displayed in the luminous memory. The Sacred Level Blacksmith had started from the initial stage of refining treasures to the way of refining treasures. Then, he had grasped the secret techniques of refining treasures step by step. His experience of refining treasures from thousands of times was displayed in the luminous memory.
The host soul sank into it, watching so many scenes moving fast. He felt like he was in a treasure house. Suddenly, he felt helpless, as he didn't know where to start.
In the luminous memory, he found the first scene of the blacksmith. He calmed his mind and started to comprehend it.
This Saint Grade Artifact Refiner also knew nothing about the mysteries of Artifact Refinement.
The blacksmith who used the Human Flame used to refine treasures for the first time. He used all kinds of metals and crystals to refine a rough ring, which was carved with a simple Spirit Gathering Formation, which could absorb the energy of the crystals.
This ring was the simplest secret treasure with a small function. It could only absorb the energy of the Essence Crystals. Then, according to the master's thought, it could burst out the energy that the ring had absorbed at once.
The energy that the simple Spirit Gathering Formation could absorb was limited. Perhaps it couldn't even compare to the full-power strike of a Disaster Realm warrior.
However, to Shi Yan, it was really difficult to refine such a small secret treasure.
Immersing himself in the successful scene, he calmed his mind and comprehended. He didn't know how long it had taken him to remember all the details.
After getting out of the luminous memory, he walked around the cellar to find all the materials he needed to refine the Spirit Gathering Ring.
With a thought, he activated the power of the Earth Flame hidden in his body. In the center of his palm, a small flame suddenly appeared.
His fingers touched the metals in front of him. Three materials with spiritual Qi, black iron, Jade Crystal, and Flint flew out, falling into the center of the small flame.
The three materials were roasted and smelted in the flame. After an unknown period of time, they were gradually melted. His Soul Consciousness entered the flame. He could see that there were many impurities in the liquid formed by the three materials. He controlled the flame and started to melt those impurities.
However, as soon as the flame increased its power, the liquid formed from the three materials was evaporated by him.
Frowning, ShiYan knew that he had failed in his first attempt to forge a weapon.
Apparently, he wasn't proficient enough in controlling the flame. He wanted to use the flame to melt those impurities, but he used too much power. Even the liquid of the materials was evaporated.
The materials hadn't been fused yet, so he couldn't carve the Spirit Gathering Formation. If he couldn't carve the Spirit Gathering Formation, the secret treasure wouldn't even have a prototype.
Shaking his head, he wasn't discouraged and didn't rush to start again. Instead, he carefully controlled the little flame, slowly using his mind to control the flame, gradually familiarizing himself with the strength of the flame, and feeling every time the flame grew stronger, so that he could accurately control the temperature of the flame.
This process had cost him a lot of time.
When he found that his control of the flame was enough to melt those impurities, he took out another portion of the three materials and continued to forge the Spirit Gathering Ring.
When the three materials were slowly melted under the burning of the flame, he once again controlled the flame, increasing the intensity of the flame bit by bit.
This time, he was very careful.
The flame increased little by little. When it reached a certain height, the liquid of the three materials didn't evaporate. Instead, the impurities in them turned into wisps of light smoke and were burned away by the flame.
He was happy. While he was increasing the temperature, he suddenly found that the three materials were melted again.
He immediately knew that the flame's temperature had surpassed the endurance limit of the three materials.
He tried again...
There were many kinds of refining materials in the cellar, enough for him to toss and turn. In the cellar, he didn't eat or sleep, concentrating on his first refining.
The Energy Condensing Ring was the simplest kind of artifact. He had tried eight times just to combine the three materials together before he was able to do it.
Finally, he could skillfully expel the impurities. After fusing the three materials, he suddenly used the cold air of the Ice Cold Flame.
As soon as the cold air came out, the three materials that had been fused together suddenly froze.
"Crack!"
Because of the heavy cold air, the three materials were directly frozen and cracked, breaking into brown stones on the ground.
Failed again.
Shi Yan took a deep breath, rubbed his temples, and revealed a bitter smile.
This was the simplest refining, but it had cost him a lot of energy. Not only did he need to have a precise control of the Earth Flame, but he also needed to do it step by step when he was solidifying those materials. He couldn't be impatient.
The more impatient he was, the faster he would fail, which was similar to the warrior's cultivation.
After calming down, he started another round of refining.
Time flew.
After nine more failures in the cellar, he had a new understanding of the process of condensing the cold Qi into the liquid. Eventually, he was able to condense the three materials into the shape of a ring. After countless failures, the crystal-clear, jade-like Spirit Condensing Ring finally took the shape of a ring.
Carve the Spirit Gathering Formation!
As his mind flickered, he concentrated on refining the Profound Qi in his body, turning it into beams of light and pouring it into the Spirit Gathering Ring.
Drawing the strange powers of the materials in the Spirit Gathering Formation, he started to carve the Spirit Gathering Formation on the Spirit Gathering Ring with his Soul Consciousness like drawing a picture.
Flows of Soul Consciousness attached to the Spirit Gathering Ring. His Soul Consciousness was drained fast. Every time he drew those strange powers, he would lose a lot of energy.
Because of a small carelessness, the lines formed by the strange powers in the Spirit Gathering Ring were disordered.
All kinds of strange powers in the Spirit Gathering Ring suddenly ran around like wild horses. The Spirit Gathering Ring suddenly exploded after a clear sound.
Shi Yan had a headache. He shook his head, looking at the broken ring, contemplated for a while, and then started again.
He failed twelve times in a row.
While carving the Spirit Gathering Formation, because of the huge consumption of energy, he would make some small mistakes from time to time. After each mistake, the Spirit Gathering Formation would have some changes, making it explode.
When carving the formation, it had to be done in one go. There could not be any pause in the middle. There could not be the slightest bit of distraction, and there could not be the slightest mistake.
Only when he could carve the Spirit Gathering Formation on the ring could he withdraw his Soul Consciousness.
It was easy to talk about it, but it was full of difficulties when he carried it out.
Continuous attempts and continuous failures had almost made him collapse, giving him a dispirited feeling that he couldn't see any hope of success.
This was the simplest blacksmithing, but it had cost him a lot of effort, and he still hadn't succeeded.
He suddenly found that blacksmithing was much more difficult than the warrior's cultivation! That year, he had made rapid progress from the Nascent Realm, but the difficulties and dangers he had encountered weren't as many as this blacksmithing.
Sitting neatly in the cellar, Shi Yan looked at the wasted materials on the ground. He frowned and tried to calm himself down, holding his breath and concentrating on recovering his spirit.
After adjusting his breath for a while, he felt that his spirit, Qi, and soul had recovered to the peak, so he tried again.
This time, the prototype of the Spirit Gathering Ring was smelted and solidified. The time spent was much faster than the previous times!
Practice makes perfect. This saying was indeed a famous saying. After continuous refining, he wouldn't fail in smelting the embryonic form of the Energy Condensing Ring.
After the Spirit Gathering Ring was formed, he used his Soul Consciousness to control the strange forces of the three materials, guiding them to draw the Spirit Gathering Formation.
This time, he put his heart and soul into it. His eyes didn't even blink, gazing at the Spirit Gathering Ring.
His Soul Consciousness turned into beams of light, guiding the strange forces to move around in the Spirit Gathering Ring. He was using his Soul Consciousness to carve the simple formation, and at the same time, he was trying to comprehend the mysteries of this formation.
Because of his extreme cautiousness, not long after he started, his entire body was soaked in sweat, his forehead dripping unceasingly.
He didn't dare to be distracted. It was like he was possessed, entering a mysterious realm. His Soul Consciousness was moving around the ring, carefully controlling the strange forces to draw this simple Spirit Gathering Formation, making the Spirit Gathering Ring complete.
All done in one breath!
"Ding!"
The Spirit Gathering Ring emitted a clear sound, releasing a misty silver halo. The center of the ring emitted a weak suction force that ordinary people couldn't perceive.
Sweat dripping from his body, Shi Yan looked at the silver Spirit Gathering Ring with a big smile on his face.
He took out a middle-grade Essence Crystal and placed it in the center of the Spirit Gathering Ring. The Spirit Gathering Formation on the silver Spirit Gathering Ring was invisible at first. However, after the Essence Crystal was placed in the ring, it slowly emerged from the ring. The small Spirit Gathering Ring suddenly released a magical suction force.
The Spirit Gathering Formation on the ring slowly moved!
Wisps of energy from the Profound Crystals started to be absorbed by the Energy Gathering Ring. Guided by the Energy Gathering Formation, they all flew into the Energy Gathering Ring.
Around one hour later, a middle-grade Essence Crystal turned into a wasted rock, its energy absorbed by the Spirit Gathering Ring.
After absorbing the energy of a middle-grade Essence Crystal, the silver Spirit Gathering Ring became crystal clear, its silver halo brighter. The light it emitted in the cellar could illuminate an area of ten meters around.
He took out another top-grade Essence Crystal and put it into the Spirit Gathering Ring again. Shi Yan continued to watch the Spirit Gathering Ring absorb the energy.
Soon, the energy of this Essence Crystal was also absorbed. ShiYan smiled and felt a sense of accomplishment. He then added another upper-grade Essence Crystal into the pot.
One day later, the energy of the five Essence Crystals was all absorbed by the Spirit Gathering Ring.
The Spirit Gathering Ring became dazzling with silver light, emitting a strong energy fluctuation. If all of it was released, it would have the power of a Disaster Realm warrior's full-power strike.
ShiYan was very satisfied.
After so many failures, he finally succeeded in his first attempt.
After this attempt, he had a deep understanding of the mysteries of the blacksmithing. At this moment, he knew that the theoretical knowledge was far from enough. If he wanted to become a top blacksmith, he had to refine the blacksmithing for thousands of times. (To be continued. If you like this work, please come to Qidian.Com to vote for me.
