Bang!

A moment later, there was another muffled explosion in the room. In the second Equipment Refining attempt, Xu Que failed at the last moment. He wanted perfection. He wanted no impurities in the metal condensate. Finally, in order to remove a tiny impurity as negligible as dust, the whole refining process fell through again!

However, that wasn’t going to discourage Xu Que. Although he was inherently lazy, he had the relentless determination to reject defeat engraved in his bones. That was why he had been a successful scholar. He was obsessed with the pursuit of success and the feeling of being ranked first!

Now, that small failure aroused Xu Que’s relentless determination. The more unsuccessful he was, the more he refused to admit defeat!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Soon, almost every hour in the room, there would be a muffled explosion; it meant Xu Que was constantly failing, but had never stopped trying!

Time was running out!

A day had gone!

Two days had gone!

Finally, on the third day, the muffled sound of the explosions finally stopped!

Xu Que stood in front of the Smithing Table and he looked at the glittering and translucent mass of gray liquid without any impurities in front of him, and he finally smiled!

Whoosh!

With a gentle sway of his palm, he wrapped the gray metal condensate with his Celestial Core Power and suspended it beside him. Then he picked up several pieces of silver metal and refined it again with his Mystical Fire! With all his efforts, Xu Que’s Equipment Refining skills had matured a lot. Xu Que was relieved when all the metal materials were successfully refined!

Those colorful metal condensates were floating in front of him, enveloped inside his Celestial Core Power, the metal condensates were kept in extreme temperatures!

I can finally advance to the next step!

Xu Que smiled and controlled several metal condensates with his Soul Strength. He began to fuse them in sequence! When he started that stage, it went very smoothly and he almost accomplished it in one go! When every two masses of metal condensate fused together, Xu Que called out the System to engrave the Rune Marks into it. Although that part of the process was very demanding for his Soul Strength and Taoist Connotation, it was easily managed! At last, when all the metal condensates were merged into one, it was a large metal condensate the size of a football and was silver and transparent. It contained wisps of golden filaments and was very pleasing to the eye!

But now Xu Que couldn’t appreciate the eye-pleasing metal condensate. He raised his arm, pinched his fingers, and suddenly swung toward the metal condensate!

“Scatter!”

With his short command, the whole mass of metal condensate was suddenly divided into five small pieces of condensate in similar sizes and then quickly dropped onto the Smithing Table!

“Water!”

Xu Que commanded again, he waved his palm and the Spiritual Qi around him instantly condensed into a wisp of crystal clear water, sprinkled onto the five pieces of metal condensate! The five pieces of metal condensate instantaneously gave off a wheezing sound and there was a burst of white fog and the temperature dropped sharply!

Bang!

Just then, Xu Que’s Soul Strength suddenly erupted; he controlled the five metal condensates with his powerful Divine Psychokinesis. His Soul Strength was akin to an invisible hammer; it crashed madly on the metal condensate and compressed it!

At last, when the five pieces of metal condensates gradually cooled down and became solid under the continuous wash of clear water; it already had the prototype of a tile!

At that moment, Xu Que began to draw the second Rune Mark!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The five tile prototypes of the metal condensates were in a semi-soft and semi-hard state. With the engraving of each Rune Mark, the metal tiles were gradually formed.

An hour later, when Xu Que had engraved all of the Rune Marks, his inner Taoist Connotation suddenly condensed and suddenly slammed into the five metal tiles!

Bam!

Five clear and crisp metallic trills rang out at the same time, and five palm-sized tiles which were mostly silver but with a little bit of gold were suspended in front of him.

Only at this moment did Xu Que smile. He called out the System, “Add the Weapon Refining Essence onto it, 300,000 points, every single one of them!”

Ding! “It is detected that the magic weapon belongs to a First Grade magic weapon. The quality and quality of the product are excellent. But because of the limit of the material, the most you can add is 100,000 points of Weapon Refining Essence and upgrade them to Third Grade magic weapons! Is the Host adding 100,000 points of Weapon Refining Essence?” The System responded.

Xu Que immediately raised his eyebrows and glared at it. “What nonsense is this? Only two advances in terms of grades with my 100,000 points of Weapon Refining Essence? You profiteer, 100,000 points of Weapon Refining Essence should at least be equal to one-third of an Inferior Celestial Artifact. Are you so horrible?”

However, the System didn’t pay attention to Xu Que’s dissatisfaction as it continued to ask, “Is the Host adding 100,000 points of Weapon Refining Essence?”

“Dmn it, add!” Xu Que was annoyed, but he could only compromise in the end.

He vowed that one day he would master Equipment Refining completely and attain the peak so that he wouldn’t be taken advantage of by the System all the time!

Whoosh!

Just when the System deducted 100,000 points of Weapon Refining Essence, the five pieces of metal tiles had a layer of brilliance shining off its surface. That flash was just a moment as it became more and more delicate and bright. It seemed that there was initially a layer of dust on the top of it, and it had become increasingly new after being carefully polished!

Ding! “Congratulations to the Host! You’ve successfully refined a Third Grade magic weapon, Five Elements Sacred Decree!”

Ding! “Congratulations to the Host for refining a magic weapon, you’re promoted to a First Grade Equipment Forging Grandmaster!”

Two of the System’s sounds prompted him as five metal tiles slowly fell into Xu Que’s hands. He was feeling the temperature on those tiles that hadn’t completely cooled. Xu Que had a satisfied smile.

That was the first time he had refined a magic weapon by himself. Everything was done from scratch; he had the feeling of watching his children come into the world. It was very pleasant and satisfying!

Tut, tut, tut, it’s a pity. If I had exchanged for a formula for refining a Second Grade magic weapon, used some better material, and combined with the Weapon Refining Essence, I could have made a Fourth Grade magic weapon or even a Fifth Grade! Xu Que spoke to himself but he wasn’t regretting. Anyway, he had plenty of time; it was enough for him to do it all over again and refine a Fifth Grade magic weapon!

Of course, if he was willing to pay a higher price and exchange for a formula for refining a Fifth Grade magic weapon, he could start his refinement too! But in that way, his Equipment Refining method would have to change!

From the stage of refining materials, it was necessary to directly use the Weapon Refining Essence, because the use of the Weapon Refining Essence wasn’t limited to the end of the refinement. If the process of refining material was really laborious or even impossible to finish, the addition of the Weapon Refining Essence would allow success immediately. It would save a lot of trouble.

Xu Que didn’t want to use that method when he was refining the Five Elements Sacred Decree. First, he didn’t want to spend too many Acting Tough Points to exchange for the formula of a Fifth Grade Magic Weapon. On the other hand, he wanted to achieve the greatest degree of independence from the System, completely relying on his own strength to conduct the refining process and experiencing it firsthand!

The outcome had also proved that he was quite talented in Equipment Refining!

Heh, although it’s only a Third Grade magic weapon, it’s time to go out and tell them I have succeeded! Xu Que was holding onto five metal tiles. He smiled and decided to go out and share the good news with Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru. He was extremely sure that no matter whether he used formulas for refining a Fifth Grade magic weapons or a Second Grade magic weapon, he had more than one way of refining a Fifth Grade or Fourth Grade magic weapons as end products!

Creak!

However, when Xu Que opened the door and walked out, he found that the flying boat was quiet. The flying boat was in a standstill state, not in flight.

“Strange, where did the two women go?” Xu Que frowned slightly and used his Soul Strength to scan the room next door. He didn’t sense their presence.

Obviously the two of them had stopped the flying boat and gone out together!

Bam!

Just then, the entrance of the flying boat suddenly vibrated and was opened by someone. Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru stepped in from the outside. When they happened to see Xu Que, they were shocked.

“Uh, fellow cultivator, are you finished?” Feng Lanwu exclaimed.

“Yes, I have bad news and good news. Which one do you want to hear first?” Xu Que asked with a smiley face.

Xiao Ru waved her hand, “None!”

“Uh?” Xu Que instantly raised his eyebrow. This young girl is awesome! She can counter my gimmick?

“You can’t go without listening. The bad news is that I’ve only developed a Third Grade magic weapon during this period of time, but the good news is...give me a few more days and I can produce a Fourth Grade magic weapon for sure. If you can help me get a formula for refining a Fifth Grade magic weapon, I can promise to refine a Fifth Grade magic weapon!” Xu Que finished with a proud smile across his face.

However, Feng Lanwu and Xiao Ru were exceptionally calm, and there wasn’t much surprise on their faces after Xu Que’s explanation.

“Ah? You don’t believe me. Look at these five tiles I’ve refined. They’re truly Third Grade magic weapons!” Xu Que thought they didn’t believe him and immediately raised his Five Elements Sacred Decree and said,...

“Fellow cultivator!” Just then, Feng Lanwu finally spoke, with a light and pleasant smile on her face. “No matter what, we thank you for your efforts during this period of time. They will surely be remembered by the Wind Chamber of Commerce and me, but...we’ve found a real Fourth Grade Equipment Forging Grandmaster, and he’s willing to help us.”
