Like the past hundreds of millions of years, snowflakes were still falling from the sky above the Utmost Northern Region's Floating Snow City. When they landed on the ground, they were absorbed by the black slate. The majority of the places in the Floating Snow City were relatively noisy. However, the ancient Wood Mansion was still as tranquil as before.
Outsiders simply did not know that there were several more people in the Wood Mansion.
Qin Yu was determined to enter his own cosmos and begin researching the 'Path of Artifact Crafting.' As for Li Er, she also wanted to accompany Qin Yu. She said that when Qin Yu was researching the 'Path of Artifact Crafting,' she would be comprehending the spatial comprehension left behind by Zuo Qiumei.
Under the Wild Willow Tree, beside the stone table.
"Big Brother Qin Yu, I truly do not wish to be separated from you for a long period of time." Li Er raised her head and stared at Qin Yu.
How could Qin Yu possibly refuse her?
Furthermore, Qin Yu also wished for this to be the case.
"I'll place the Bewitching God Temple into my cosmos. I will be researching artifact crafting in the Bewitching God Temple's Refining Flames Palace. You can train beside me." Qin Yu made his decision.
Li Er immediately smiled sweetly and threw herself into Qin Yu's chest. Seeing how reluctant Qin Yu and Li Er were to part with each other, Jiang Lan also started to smile.
"Cough!" Kuroh deliberately coughed from the side.
Then, Kuroh looked to Jiang Lan. "Uncle Lan, it's better that you allow me to enter the Jiang Lan's Realm and train. I am truly unable to continue watching here."
Qin Yu took a glance at Kuroh with an annoyed expression. Kuroh merely laughed.
"Xiao Hei, your Flowing Light Spear Path does indeed contain a portion of the temporal laws. Although I am unable to understand how you managed to comprehend it, there is a reason for its existence. You can continue to research it carefully. I truly wish to see what level you can reach." Jiang Lan looked to Kuroh and said with a smile.
After that, Kuroh entered the third layer space of the Jiang Lan's Realm.
"Uncle Lan, we're leaving." Qin Yu and Li Er stood up at the same time and said.
Seeing Qin Yu and Li Er standing side by side, Jiang Lan felt extremely pleased. He nodded and said with a smile. "Good. Little Yu, you should properly study the path of artifact craftsmanship. I am waiting for you to become the new 'Craftsman God.'"
Qin Yu looked at Li Er beside his arm and nodded slightly.
*****
Neoverse, New Purple Mystic Planet, Hidden Dragon Continent, East Hazy Mountain.
Qin Yu directly placed the Bewitching God Temple on the other side of the East Hazy Mountain. It just so happened to be opposite the Misty Villa.
Within the courtyard of the Bewitching God Temple.
"This is the Bewitching God Temple? I have also heard of the great name of the Bewitching God Temple in the Divine Realm. However, I have never entered the interior of the Bewitching God Temple to take a good look. "Li Er looked all around and couldn't help but sigh.
"Li Er, follow me." Qin Yu directly brought Li Er toward the Refining Flames Palace. In Qin Yu's heart, the Refining Flames Palace was the place where the Craftsman God Chehou Yuan would normally craft artifacts. Thus, there would definitely be some artifacts in there.
However, when Qin Yu broke through the formation array at the entrance of the Refining Flames Palace and entered, he discovered …
"Eh, what's going on?" Li Er also looked to the Refining Flames Palace in shock. "Big brother Qin Yu, there doesn't seem to be anything here."
"I'm also not sure." Qin Yu carefully looked to every corner of the Refining Flames Palace.
Although the Refining Flames Palace did not appear to be very large from the outside, the interior was an enormous palace hall with a length and width of over a thousand meters. In the entire Refining Flames Palace, there were no small rooms. There was only a single great hall.
The ground was black and there were four golden pillars.
However, in the center of this great hall, there was actually only a single golden scroll.
"There are definitely tools for artifact crafting. However, why didn't Senior Chehou leave behind a single item?" Qin Yu extended his hand and that golden scroll floated into his hand. Furthermore, he unfurled it.
Qin Yu swept it with his Divine Awareness.
"Junior who has inherited the Bewitching God Temple, I am truly sorry … this time around, in order to refine the 'Exalted Celestial's Spirit Treasure,' I had to make ample preparations. This set of tools is the one that I am most familiar with. Thus, I brought the tools for artifact crafting with me. "
When Qin Yu saw this, he could not help but be stunned.
It would appear that he had been happy for nothing. However, Qin Yu still continued to look.
"However, you do not have to be too disappointed. That is because true grandmaster artifact craftsmen will not use the tools of others when it comes to artifact crafting. They will all use the tools that they themselves have refined. That is because only the tools that they themselves have refined are the tools that they themselves are most familiar with. Only through repeated experiments and repeated running-in will they be able to make a tool that is perfectly compatible with you. The first difficult problem of artifact crafting is to refine your own set of tools … "
After Qin Yu finished reading, he came to a complete realization.
"Big Brother Qin Yu, what's wrong?" Li Er asked from the side. She thought that Qin Yu was disappointed that there was nothing left in the Refining Flames Palace. "Big Brother Qin Yu, don't be disappointed. If you were able to obtain it, it would be due to luck. If you weren't able to obtain it …"
Qin Yu smiled as he stroked Li Er's beautiful hair. "Alright, I am not disappointed. Mn, Li Er, you can cultivate over there. I will stay by your side and read those scrolls on artifact crafting techniques. "
Qin Yu pointed with one hand.
In the vast crafting hall, two jade-colored cloud beds appeared. Li Er lightly nodded her head. Then, she flew and sat on one of the cloud beds.
Qin Yu's figure moved and he directly sat cross-legged on the other cloud bed.
Qin Yu waved his sleeve and golden scrolls immediately floated in front of him. There were close to two thousand scrolls. These golden scrolls completely described artifact crafting techniques. The majority of them were bestowed by the Utmost East Sage Emperor.
Li Er lightly smiled to Qin Yu. Then, she closed her eyes and began to quietly comprehend the comprehensions left behind by Zuo Qiumei.
"Increase the flow of time to the extreme." Qin Yu controlled the flow of time within the Refining Flames Palace to the extreme.
Over two thousand years in the Refining Flames Palace was only a single year in the outside world.
After that, Qin Yu began to carefully read the golden scrolls one by one. Qin Yu was now a Mid Level Heavenly Deity. His consciousness was much stronger than before. Thus, the speed at which he read the golden scrolls was also much faster. However, it still took him a very long time to read nearly two thousand golden scrolls.
As he continued to read.
A brand new, vast and boundless world of artifact crafting began to unfold before Qin Yu's eyes. Qin Yu was completely immersed in the world of artifact crafting. Furthermore, he was unceasingly absorbing the experiences of his seniors.
"So this is the case, so this is the case!"
As he continued to read, Qin Yu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration from time to time. If one was unable to enter the path of artifact crafting, one could only linger outside the door for the rest of one's life. However, once one entered the door, one would discover how vast and beautiful the world inside was.
… …
Artifact crafting, in the simplest terms, was divided into three steps.
First step: Create an Artifact Embryo!
Second step: Quenching!
Third step: Spirit Awakening!
… …
Among these three steps, the first step, 'Create an Artifact Embryo,' was the most difficult. An Artifact Embryo was actually the foundation of an 'artifact.' If the Artifact Embryo was not good, then regardless of how high one's Spirit Awakening or Quenching was, it would still be impossible for that weapon to become a treasure.
If the first step was successful, then the artifact crafting would be eighty percent successful.
Nearly two thousand golden scrolls. Over ninety percent of the contents were about how to craft a good and perfect Artifact Embryo.
The so-called 'artifact crafting method' could even be considered as the method to craft an Artifact Embryo.
The quality of an Artifact Embryo, the first prerequisite was the materials. If the materials were inferior, then no matter how high one's technique was, it would still be useless.
The second prerequisite was: Flames!
The so-called flames were not merely the strongest power of flames. After all, all Godking level experts were capable of using 'Void Flames.' Possessing Void Flames did not mean that one would be able to pass the test in the aspect of flames.
That was because some materials did not necessarily have a high melting temperature or vaporizing temperature. Furthermore, the melting temperature of impurities was even higher than the melting temperature of the main materials.
A mediocre artifact craftsman might vaporize the main materials and leave behind impurities. Thus, this was a test of one's ability to control flames.
Void Flames, White Pure Flames and Black Divine Flames, these three levels of flames must be controlled to a level of perfection. Furthermore, one must even be able to mix and use them together. One must reach a level of perfection.
The third prerequisite was: The ratio of materials used to craft artifacts!
There were indeed many hard materials in the Divine Realm. However, using only one material to craft artifacts was extremely rare in the entire Divine Realm. Among a hundred Heavenly Divine Artifacts, ninety-nine of them were created by combining many materials.
The combination of many materials, learning from each other's strong points to make up for one's weak points, would allow the crafted artifacts to be even more perfect.
There were more than a dozen different materials with different melting temperatures and different habits. One must reach a level of perfection. The requirement was extremely high. That was extremely terrifying.
Even the ratio was very complicated.
Because there was one thing … In the Divine Realm, there were not many things that were completely pure. Almost all of the materials had impurities. The only difference was the amount of impurities.
A material, in the eyes of Deities, might be absolutely pure. However, in the eyes of Heavenly Deities, they would be able to discover impurities. That was because impurities were too hard to notice.
For some materials, Heavenly Deities were unable to discover impurities. However, Godkings were able to discover them. One must not look down on those impurities. Those impurities that occupied only a millionth of a material could possibly cause the weapon you crafted to drop by two or three grades because of that impurities.
Artifact crafting was an extremely rigorous matter. One must not be careless in the slightest!
This was also the reason why in the entire Divine Realm, even Godking level experts were inferior to the Craftsman God Chehou Yuan in terms of artifact crafting. Even Empyrean level experts were unable to craft an Empyrean's Spiritual Treasure. However, Chehou Yuan dared to challenge it. From this, one could imagine how powerful his artifact crafting abilities were.
There were two important points that one must remember.
1. Even if two Ordinary Obsidian were to be taken out, although they were both Ordinary Obsidian, there would definitely be some differences in the impurities between them. One must not casually use a fixed ratio to determine their quality.
2. Although the senior had given a fixed ratio, that ratio could only be used as a reference. One must not be inflexible. If one were to be inflexible and inflexible, one would at most become an ordinary artifact craftsman.
In order to craft an Artifact Embryo, other than the three prerequisites mentioned above, there was also a fourth important condition: Flame control!
Flame control was different from the second condition, flame control. Flame control mainly depended on one's experience, observational ability, etc.
Of course, these four were the prerequisites.
With these four prerequisites, it could only mean that one had the potential to become a Grandmaster Artifact Craftsman.
As for becoming a Grandmaster Artifact Craftsman, this was merely the beginning.
*****
In order to successfully craft an Artifact Embryo, the four prerequisites mentioned above were extremely important. After that, one must comprehend a set of methods to remove impurities and perfect the combination of different materials.
This method was known as the artifact crafting method.
The Craftsman God Chehou Yuan had his own artifact crafting method. In the scrolls that the Utmost East Sage Emperor had given to Qin Yu, there were also records of many of his seniors' artifact crafting methods.
Chehou Yuan's artifact crafting method was called 《Thousand Tempering Hundred Refining》. The name was simple. However, the process was incomparably complicated.
"If one wants to become the new Craftsman God, one cannot copy the methods of the seniors. One must create one's own artifact crafting method that is most suitable for oneself!"
Chehou Yuan's words in the 《Thousand Tempering Hundred Refining》 made Qin Yu feel even more strongly about the difficulty of becoming a new Craftsman God.
"I firmly believe in one thing. There is no material that is completely pure. Even if a Godking thinks that it is pure, that's because the Godking is unable to discover it. Even if a Celestial thinks that it is pure, that's because the Celestial is unable to discover it!"
The words spoken by the Craftsman God Chehou Yuan in the 'Thousand Tempering Hundred Refining' had given Qin Yu a great shock.
According to the descriptions of some seniors in the scrolls that the Utmost East Sage Emperor had given him … In the Divine Realm, although the vast majority of materials were not pure, there were still a very small number of materials that were pure.
However, Chehou Yuan's point of view was completely opposite.
"There is no material that is completely pure. If you keep this in mind, it will allow you to unceasingly pursue the ultimate goal, unceasingly search for impurities! This way, in the end, you will understand how to rely on your feelings to make judgments. Remember, it's about feeling. A true grandmaster artificer will be able to determine how many impurities there are in a material just by relying on his feelings! "
What the Craftsman God Chehou Yuan told Qin Yu was precisely the 'spirit of skepticism.'
Regardless of what material it was, one must always have a spirit of skepticism.
… …
As he read, Qin Yu felt more and more admiration for Chehou Yuan. To Qin Yu, what was precious was not Chehou Yuan's artifact forging method. Instead, it was Chehou Yuan's unique way of thinking.
"The ability to draw and carve is also extremely important." This was what was recorded in the scrolls of nearly all the expert artificers.
An artifact embryo. Although it was called an artifact embryo, its appearance had already reached a high level.
A weapon was, in fact, a handicraft. Only when the appearance and structure of the weapon were perfect and natural would the weapon be even more powerful when it was' spiritually awakened '.
The first step of the three major steps: Crafting the artifact embryo.
Once all of the above steps were completed, the first step would be considered a success.
As for the second and third steps, they did not sound as important as the first step. That was because … the second and third steps did not test one's experience. What they tested was … the conditions one could provide!
"This second step is truly abnormal." As Qin Yu carefully read, he began to feel even more how difficult it was to craft artifacts.
Back then, he had boasted that he had the confidence to become the new Craftsman God. But now, it would seem that it was truly too difficult to realize!
