Refining artifacts, to a certain extent, is no different from refining pills!
Spiritual artifacts are fine!
One can refine them according to their own desires, using their preferred ores!
But immortal artifacts are different!
The Forging Sword Academy has a Weapon Manual!
This Weapon Manual does not record which weapon is stronger!
Instead, it records which ores can be used to refine immortal artifacts of various grades!
To put it plainly!
It's like a pill recipe for alchemists!
As long as one follows the ores and ingredients recorded in the Weapon Manual, they can refine the corresponding immortal artifact!
Although some people innovate, adding more ores to the Weapon Manual!
But Chen Nan did not want to innovate!
Firstly, innovation requires a lot of time!
Secondly, he doesn't have enough contribution points to support his innovation!
After all, his goal is only to refine high-grade immortal artifacts!
And then unlock the sixth level of the immortal mansion!
Why go through all this trouble?
"A friendly reminder, the power of the Longming Fire is terrifying!"
"You must control the temperature well when refining weapons!"
"Otherwise, even rare ores will be burned to ashes!"
Qing Long specifically warned before refining.
Chen Nan solemnly hummed, then sat cross-legged in the room.
With a thought!
The ore for refining low-grade immortal artifacts floated into the air!
In the next second, the divine fire emerged quietly!
It took less than three seconds for the hard ore to melt!
It looked like a non-Newtonian fluid!
All impurities were refined!
He added other ores according to the steps.
After the weapon took shape, he had a thought!
A wisp of fire elemental power was sealed into the long sword!
"You are truly something else!"
"You actually sealed the power of the law into the sword!"
Qing Long was shocked!
Chen Nan retorted: "Did anyone say that the power of the law cannot be sealed into a sword?"
Qing Long: "Indeed, no one has said so!"
"But no one has done it like you either!"
"Then that's that?" Chen Nan formed a hand seal!
The immortal energy in the air converged from all directions!
Then it surged into the long sword!
At this moment!
Everyone in the Forging Sword Academy felt a powerful sword energy rising into the sky!
Immediately, the sky turned fiery red!
As if the sky had been ignited!
"What the hell!"
"Who is refining weapons?"
"Did this trigger a heavenly phenomenon?"
"If I remember correctly, the last time a phenomenon occurred was when Senior Brother Gong Jian refined a divine pot!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, a high-grade immortal artifact should be born!"
Everyone was in an uproar!
In their hearts, only high-grade immortal artifacts had the potential to trigger heavenly phenomena!
------
"Is it that little guy?"
"He's truly a handful."
"He's causing such a commotion right after returning!"
Dai Yuan, the head of the Forging Sword Academy, stood on the mountain, quietly looking in the direction of the back mountain.
He knew Chen Nan's talent for refining was great!
But causing such a stir, if he doesn't refine a high-grade immortal artifact, it will be difficult to conclude!
"I really want to know what form his divine fire takes!" Dai Yuan was curious, but after all, he was the head of the Forging Sword Academy. He couldn't just run over to Chen Nan and ask him to show off his divine fire to satisfy his curiosity.
He had to maintain some dignity and not do anything that would affect his image!
------
As the immortal energy in the world was poured into the long sword!
The sword body, which was originally dull, suddenly became radiant!
The sword body, which should have been silver, was now dark red!
There were also flame patterns on the sword body!
One look and you could tell it was no ordinary object!
Chen Nan waved his hand casually!
Whoosh!
A scorching sword energy swept out!
Carrying high temperature!
"I wonder what grade this long sword has reached!"
Chen Nan got up and headed to the Merit Hall.
"Why are you back again, you brat?"
"Are you planning to switch to a less difficult weapon recipe?"
"You should have listened to my advice earlier!"
"Otherwise, you wouldn't be back!"
Seeing Chen Nan return, Elder Cheng teased him with a smile!
There were also differences in difficulty among the low-grade immortal artifact weapon recipes!
The one Chen Nan took away earlier was one of the more difficult ones for refining low-grade immortal artifacts!
Therefore!
In his opinion, Chen Nan must be back to switch to an easier weapon recipe!
Chen Nan felt awkward, but finally took out the long sword he had just refined and politely said, "Elder Cheng, I would like you to appraise the grade of this sword!"
Elder Cheng was dumbfounded: "You... this is... you refined it?"
Chen Nan: "Touch it, it's still warm!"
Elder Cheng subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva!
This guy only left for less than half an hour?
He refined an immortal artifact in such a short time?
Holy cow!
Could the heavenly phenomenon earlier have been caused by him?
Thinking of this!
Elder Cheng's skin was covered in goosebumps!
If it was as he thought, then Chen Nan was definitely a monster in refining techniques, rarely seen in millennia!
His talent even surpassed that of Gong Jian!
Even though Gong Jian refined a divine pot!
That was just a coincidence!
Without further thought, he quickly took the long sword from Chen Nan, and then produced a low-grade immortal artifact in his hand.
He held one in each hand!
Then he struck them together forcefully!
Clang!
The low-grade immortal artifact in his hand broke instantly!
And the immortal artifact Chen Nan refined didn't even have a scratch!
Elder Cheng's eyes were burning: "The long sword you refined already meets the standard of a mid-grade immortal artifact!"
"My heavens!"
"This is unbelievable!"
"You actually used materials for a low-grade immortal artifact to refine a mid-grade immortal artifact!"
"You are simply a genius!"
Chen Nan's mouth twitched: "Is your standard for appraising immortal artifacts a bit too casual?"
Elder Cheng grinned: "Although it's a bit casual, don't you think it's very direct?"
Chen Nan was speechless!
Elder Cheng patted Chen Nan on the shoulder: "Young man, I have high hopes for you. I believe you will be able to refine high-grade immortal artifacts very soon!"
Chen Nan looked awkward: "I would like to refine high-grade immortal artifacts, but I've used up all my contribution points."
"Uh, could you pre-advance me some ores for refining high-grade immortal artifacts?"
"Don't worry, if I refine a high-grade immortal artifact, I'll sign it and give it to you."
"Although you don't lack high-grade immortal artifacts, who knows if I'll get promoted when I become awesome later!"
Elder Cheng chuckled and ruthlessly refused him: "I'm sorry, this elder does not have that privilege!"
"To obtain ores for refining high-grade immortal artifacts, you must earn them through missions!"
"As long as you earn ten thousand contribution points, this elder can give you a fifty percent discount as an exception!"
"Then you'll have more than enough to buy a set of ores for high-grade immortal artifacts!"
Chen Nan gave a wry smile: "You make it sound as if ten thousand contribution points are easy to earn!"
Elder Cheng smiled meaningfully: "Who says you can only get contribution points by doing missions?"
Chen Nan shivered: "No, no, no, I'll just do missions honestly to accumulate contribution points."
He knew what Elder Cheng meant!
Killing others and taking their contribution points.
That was indeed a shortcut!
But it violated Chen Nan's principles!
He would not gain contribution points by killing others!
Unless... there was a feud!
Elder Cheng smiled: "Even if you are naturally kind, others will still trouble you."
Chen Nan frowned: "This junior doesn't understand."
"Go back to the mess hall. You'll understand when you get back," Elder Cheng's eyes flashed with a meaningful light!
