Chapter 1517: Chapter 1508: The Birth of Zhan Yue
“Kid, you might need to fuse the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron with other materials to refine an Immortal Artifact in the future. So, although you can use the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron this time, you cannot mix it with other materials. You can only use this single metal for refining,” Old Hei Jiang Yuntian reminded Ye Chenfeng.
Ye Chenfeng furrowed his brows and said, “Old Hei, using only Purple Meteorite Profound Iron? What kind of Spiritual Artifact can be made out of that?”
Old Hei Jiang Yuntian replied, “Kid, this piece of Purple Meteorite Profound Iron is enough for you to refine a Spiritual Artifact. What kind of Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact do you want to craft?”
Ye Chenfeng pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll just forge a sword!”
After speaking, Ye Chenfeng’s storage ring flashed, and a piece of Purple Meteorite Profound Iron, one meter long and half a meter wide, appeared before him.
Upon taking out the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron, Old Hei Jiang Yuntian continued, “Kid, it’s best to use the Green Flame in your dantian for artifact refining. First, you must use the Green Flame to remove the impurities within the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron.”
Previously, after Ye Chenfeng’s strength increased, the Heaven and Earth Flame, Green Flame, in his dantian had already been unsealed, and he could endure its current temperature.
Images of the demonstration given by Old Hei Jiang Yuntian flashed in Ye Chenfeng’s mind. The method was actually quite simple—just burn the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron with the Green Flame. This Heaven and Earth Flame is different from ordinary flame, and using another flame to remove impurities would be much more troublesome.
Ye Chenfeng lifted the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron with his right hand and released his spiritual energy, holding the iron suspended in mid-air.
Then, with a flip of his palm, a dark green flame burst from it, and with a flick of his fingers, the dark green flame instantly enveloped the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron in mid-air.
Old Hei Jiang Yuntian spoke, “Kid, there’s no need to rush. This Purple Meteorite Profound Iron is quite unusual. The impurity removal process will take at least a day, so just wait patiently!”
Time passed second by second, and as the Green Flame continued to burn, the outer layer of the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron was completely stripped away, revealing its pure purple core.
As the surface of the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron was thoroughly burned off, a white substance started to emerge from within, which should be the impurities of the iron.
As time went on with the Green Flame burning, more white substance kept emerging from the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron, dropping to the ground.
A day later.
Controlling the Green Flame to burn and the spiritual energy to support the iron in mid-air was quite energy-consuming.
Beads of sweat appeared on Ye Chenfeng’s forehead, while a layer of white substance had covered the ground, and the whole block of Purple Meteorite Profound Iron had shrunk.
Old Hei Jiang Yuntian spoke again, “Kid, the impurities inside the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron are almost gone. Now you can start forging it into a sword shape.”
“I have a technique called the Ten Thousand Times Forging Technique. After forging with it ten thousand times, you will be able to bring the edge and strength of your crafted sword to its peak. This technique can maximize the material’s advantages.”
“The Ten Thousand Times Forging Technique is also a supreme treasure among Artifact Refiners. Watch as I demonstrate it to you once in your mind.”
Watching the demonstration in his mind, Ye Chenfeng found it wasn’t too difficult, but as he began to forge the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron, he couldn’t help but inwardly laugh bitterly.
For this Ten Thousand Times Forging Technique requires flame as well. While continuing to burn with the Green Flame, Ye Chenfeng started to directly forge the iron. Just the first round of forging consumed one-fiftieth of his spiritual energy.
Perhaps, this portion of spiritual energy consumption seemed minor.
But to employ the Ten Thousand Times Forging Technique would require forging ten thousand times. To what extent would Ye Chenfeng’s spiritual energy deplete?
While pondering, Old Hei spoke again, “Kid, once this forging starts, you can’t stop midway, or else everything will be for naught!”
Upon hearing this, Ye Chenfeng wanted to curse out loud, but luckily, there was no restriction on absorbing Spirit Stones to replenish spiritual energy during the process.
Another day passed.
Ye Chenfeng’s hands had become a bloody mess; this Ten Thousand Times Forging Technique was not something an average person could handle.
After absorbing a High Grade Spirit Stone, Ye Chenfeng continued controlling the Green Flame while his hands continued forging. He had completed nine thousand nine hundred ninety-nine rounds, and the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron in front of him had taken the shape of a sword.
Moreover, after a day of forging, the pure purple color of the iron had turned into a silvery white hue, possibly due to the combination of the Green Flame and the Ten Thousand Times Forging Technique.
After the ten-thousandth forge.
He withdrew the Green Flame back into his dantian, and the sword was fully shaped, hovering in mid-air, radiating an aura of sharpness from its silver blade.
After sensing Ye Chenfeng completed the Ten Thousand Times Forging Technique, Old Hei said, “Kid, next, you just need to carve the Spirit Array Diagram. From Lower Grade Magic Artifact to Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact diagrams, you have already mastered them. I believe you don’t need further guidance, correct? Go ahead and carve it yourself!”
The fact that Ye Chenfeng completed the Ten Thousand Times Forging Technique in one attempt had already numbed Old Hei. This technique was not something just anyone could perform. Old Hei only intended for Ye Chenfeng to try a little because Old Hei still knew the Thousand Times Forging Technique and the Hundred Times Forging Technique.
Ye Chenfeng held the silver sword he forged from the Purple Meteorite Profound Iron in his hand. Gripping the hilt, he felt its coolness.
Previously, Ye Chenfeng thoroughly researched the Spirit Array Diagrams from Lower to Middle Grade Spiritual Artifacts. An idea emerged in his mind as it occurred to him that while current diagrams only boost weapon attack power, he suddenly wanted to try crafting his own diagram.
Ye Chenfeng thought it and did it. Modifying a Spirit Array Diagram is not that easy.
Guided by the power of Divine Sense, he began outlining fine lines within the sword.
Reflecting on various Spirit Array Diagrams’ functions, Ye Chenfeng’s current creation was unprecedented, and he was carving it at an exceptionally slow pace.
Logically, a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact diagram shouldn’t take much of Ye Chenfeng’s time to carve.
Old Hei Jiang Yuntian sensed Ye Chenfeng hadn’t completed the carving for a long time. After sensing it, he shook his head with a wry smile. He realized Ye Chenfeng was creating his own Spirit Array Diagram, and he didn’t know what to say. He couldn’t interrupt Ye Chenfeng now.
One day passed.
Two days passed.
Until the third day.
Ye Chenfeng’s face was slightly pale, but the brilliance in his eyes grew even brighter. At a certain moment, the fine lines within the silver-white sword instantly formed a Spirit Array Diagram.
A faint smile appeared on the corner of Ye Chenfeng’s mouth; it had taken him three full days to carve this array.
However, creating an entirely new Spirit Array Diagram might take others decades, but Ye Chenfeng only took three days. Such speed, talent, and creativity are simply unheard of.
Holding the fully-formed Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact silver-white sword, Ye Chenfeng felt a blood connection with it.
A silver-white glow flashed across the sword. Ye Chenfeng noticed an added moon-like pattern on the hilt.
This silver-white glow, remarkably similar to moonlight, prompted Ye Chenfeng to smile and say, “This sword shall be named Moon Slayer Sword! The first weapon crafted by me, Ye Chenfeng.”
“Kid, I’m not trying to dampen your spirits, but did you create the Spirit Array Diagram within this sword yourself? That’s simply reckless; it’s possible that your self-made diagram might not enhance the sword’s attack power. I spent over two hundred years researching artifact refining before I began creating Spirit Array Diagrams, and it took me ten years to create my first one,” said Old Hei.
It seems Old Hei wasn’t expecting much from Ye Chenfeng’s diagram created within three days.
Ye Chenfeng shrugged casually and said, “Old Hei, I assure you the Moon Slayer will have unexpected effects. Now, let’s find a place for you and Old Bai to witness the uniqueness of my crafted Moon Slayer.”
