"No … no … Martial nephew Yan, wait a moment." Elder Cui was tongue-tied. It took him a while to smooth out his words, "Did you just say you were going to forge the next batch of artifacts?"
He looked at the pile of Precious Weapons in front of him in disbelief. "You mean to say that these were not collected by you, but refined by yourself?"
Yan Zhaoge shrugged, "Of course I forged them myself. I don't have the patience or interest to collect low-grade artifacts."
These words made everyone swallow their saliva, but they couldn't find the words to refute.
Low-grade artifacts were treasures to them, but with Yan Zhaoge's family background, they were nothing.
But …
Everyone's expression changed subtly. For a moment, they felt as if the world they were in had become unreal.
Everything in front of them completely went against their past knowledge and common sense.
With Yan Zhaoge's strength, no one objected to his ability to forge artifacts.
Although they had never heard of it before, it was not impossible for Yan Zhaoge to have mastered the art of artifact forging.
However, forging an artifact was not an easy task. It required a lot of time and energy.
How many martial artists who knew how to refine weapons would use themselves as blacksmiths?
Elder Cui took a deep breath, "You … how long did it take you to forge these artifacts?"
Yan Zhaoge said casually, "In between my usual cultivation breaks, I just took some leisure time to complete them. If it's these sixteen artifacts, it wouldn't even take a month."
"Impossible." Elder Cui flatly said, "Elder Yan has the ability, I believe. But Martial nephew Yan, you …"
He shook his head, obviously not believing Yan Zhaoge's words.
Moreover, it was not difficult for Father Yan or some of the stronger experts in the sect to forge artifacts, but who would be so bored as to do so?
With the time and energy, they would naturally set their sights on higher level spirit artifacts.
Everyone's gaze towards Yan Zhaoge gradually became suspicious. They felt that Yan Zhaoge was being forced into a corner and was trying to look impressive.
Yan Zhaoge laughed, "Of course it's not possible to forge with an external crystal furnace, but who said that an internal crystal furnace can't?"
Hearing this, everyone was at a loss. Only a few people were once again stunned.
Elder Cui's voice became stuttering again, "You … the internal crystal furnace you speak of, it can't be … it can't be … the legendary pre-Great Calamity …"
"However, the Internal Crystal Furnace has long been extinct! Not to mention the actual object and the production method, even the most basic structure description was not left behind! In the entire Eight Extremities World, only those simple legends and stories remain! "
It was said that before the Great Calamity, when the martial civilisation had flourished, aside from cultivation techniques and martial techniques, artifact forging techniques had also been developed.
In that era, ordinary weapons were not tolerated in the world of martial artists. Battle weapons, Precious Weapons, Spirit Weapons, and even Saint Weapons were not rare.
It was just that following the Great Calamity, it was hard for an egg to remain intact when the nest was overturned. All of this vanished into thin air, only leaving behind countless legends for later generations to revere and revere.
However, to Yan Zhaoge, this was no secret at all. The Divine Palace of pre-Great Calamity times was all-encompassing, not just containing martial arts manuals.
"As luck would have it, I unearthed a relic when I went out to train, which contained an incomplete Internal Crystal Furnace construction method." Yan Zhaoge smiled, "Therefore, I pondered on perfecting it, so that the Internal Crystal Furnace would reappear in the world. These low-grade artifacts are my own work during the process of experimenting."
"Currently, I can only refine low-grade artifacts. These second-grade artifacts are the best of the best. In addition, there are a few first-grade artifacts, which are already close to mid-grade artifacts, but still lacking a bit. At the same time, they are not stable enough. Therefore, I kept them to nourish myself, learning from the experience, in preparation for the next time I open the furnace."
Yan Zhaoge snapped his fingers, "As it continues to be perfected, mid-grade and high-grade artifacts are not unimaginable in the future. If I can also research the ancient method to strengthen the Internal Crystal Furnace, then spirit artifacts can also be looked forward to."
Ah Hu, who knew his Young Master's intentions, went out again and quickly returned to the side hall. He brought back a furnace as tall as a person, thick and solid, and overflowing with spiritual qi.
Although Elder Cui had never seen what an Internal Crystal Furnace looked like, he at least knew that the furnace in front of him was not the External Crystal Furnace that people usually used.
At this time, the others also gradually recovered, but their eyes were still full of shock.
Even Sikong Qing, who was usually cold, was shocked at this moment.
It was precisely because she knew more that she understood the importance of the furnace in front of her.
Perhaps now it was only a seedling, but when it matured, what kind of towering tree would it be?
"This time, I am going to the Dragon Sealing Abyss, other than the sect's mission, I also have a personal matter to deal with, which is to further perfect the Internal Crystal Furnace. I need to make use of the special environment of the Dragon Sealing Abyss, as well as the Li Flame True Fire seed that appeared in the abyss."
Yan Zhaoge's tone was calm, but it caused Ye Jing and Sikong Qing to look at each other.
Someone excitedly shouted, "Senior Brother Yan, if even mid-grade artifacts, high-grade artifacts, and even spirit artifacts, even … even …"
In today's world, Sacred Weapons were rarely seen. He really didn't dare to think too much, but he was also extremely excited, "If our sect can mass produce spirit artifacts, then wouldn't … wouldn't …"
Yan Zhaoge nodded, revealing his white teeth with a smile, "That's right, if we succeed, in the future when you go outside, even if you meet descendants of other Sacred Grounds of the same level as our sect, they will use battle weapons, you will use artifacts, they will use spirit artifacts, others use artifacts, you will use spirit artifacts, just relying on equipment alone will be enough to kill them."
The crowd of disciples immediately let out a cheer in unison.
Yan Zhaoge waved his hand, and everyone immediately quieted down, "Cultivate well, you are all the future of my Broad Creed Mountain!"
The group of people said in unison, "We will be humble and cautious, diligently cultivate, and spread the name of Broad Creed Mountain!"
Actually, Yan Zhaoge had become famous at a young age, and his actual age was only a few years older than Ye Jing, Sikong Qing, and the others in front of him. Calling them "Broad Creed Mountain's future" was somewhat inappropriate, as if they weren't of the same generation.
But among the people present, apart from a few very few, no one felt that it was strange.
The comparison between Yan Zhaoge and Ye Jing had long since been thrown to the back of their minds.
The two of them looked at the problem from a completely different perspective, way of thinking, and scope of vision.
Not mentioning anything else, Yan Zhaoge's reappearance of the Internal Crystal Furnace's artifact forging technique would very likely cause the entire Broad Creed Mountain's strength to improve. Such a contribution, how could a mere young Martial Scholar compare to it?
Even if Ye Jing's potential was even more shocking, only a genius who had truly matured could be considered a true genius. Before that, there were too many possibilities.
Moreover, Yan Zhaoge himself was also a monstrous genius.
While they were thinking about how to distinguish themselves within the sect, what Yan Zhaoge sought was the possibility of advancing the entire sect a step further.
Elder Cui regained his smiling expression, "Junior apprentice-nephew Yan is truly worthy of being the pillar of our Broad Creed Mountain, a young genius!"
"However, this news should still be reported to the Chief and the others as soon as possible …"
Yan Zhaoge directly interrupted him, "Elder Cui need not worry about this. Yesterday, I already made the report. Grand Master and my father already know about it. In fact, my father has already taken over the development of the Internal Crystal Furnace."
"This Internal Crystal Furnace here is actually an imitation. There is an even better one, which is currently in my father's hands. I'm only keeping this one for myself to continue tinkering with it."
Elder Cui's white beard twitched, and he forced a smile, "This news is indeed great news, but it should be kept a secret. Otherwise, if it were to spread out and let the other sects and Sacred Grounds know about it, there is no guarantee that our Broad Creed Mountain won't be at a disadvantage. Junior apprentice-nephew Yan, you are a little too careless …"
Yan Zhaoge chuckled, "The official notification will arrive very soon. With your rank, Elder Cui, you will probably receive the notification tomorrow."
"As for why Grand Master made such a decision, it is not my place to speculate. Elder Cui, it would also be best if you do not accept it."
Elder Cui's face slightly stiffened, but he saw Yan Zhaoge walk in front of him.
The smile on Yan Zhaoge's face gradually turned cold, "Acting Elder? Ha, what a high position, what a high position. As a junior disciple, they will subconsciously overlook your role in this matter. After the matter is over, you can still continue to be a benevolent and benevolent elder. "
