Chapter 64: Refining Ornaments

  In the Emerald Tower, Xiao Zhan and Tianlu were strolling leisurely. Before they knew it, an hour had passed, and Yan Rui personally came to find them, saying that the materials were ready. Xiao Zhan couldn't help but nod in secret admiration - fresh spiritual beast blood wasn't easy to come by, and it was definitely not available within the Absolute Immortal City; being able to gather everything so quickly was indeed worthy of being the number one jeweler in the Absolute Immortal City.

  In a workshop, Xiao Zhan looked at the fully prepared materials and was excited. Finally, he could get started. After all, it was his first time, so to prevent any accidents, he had asked for multiple sets of each material.

  Since the materials were so abundant, Xiao Zhan decided to try making a few more things, such as hairpins, bracelets, and necklaces. To ensure a high success rate, Xiao Zhan specially summoned his War God Armor beforehand, transforming it into clothing that he wore on his body, and prepared to enter the "War God Consciousness" state at any moment if necessary.

  The alchemy in Xiao Zhan's memory is different from others, from start to finish, no hands are needed, just recite the incantation, and the processing, condensation, and jewelry making steps will be transformed into mysterious spells one by one, without needing to master the craftsmanship of jewelry making.

  It can be said that wanting to refine magical items is fine as long as one has a thorough grasp of the magical incantations.

  ※※※

  Magical jewelry refers to jewelry with magical effects. Its production is more complicated than ordinary jewelry, and the most complex procedure is drawing magic arrays. The various magical effects of magical jewelry depend on the different magic arrays on it.

  Generally, making magical jewelry first requires a crystal stone. The corresponding grade of jewelry should have the corresponding grade of crystal stone, and then surround this crystal stone with magical materials to carve and draw magic arrays.

  Xiao Zhan's method was different, his refining method was to engrave the formation diagram into the crystal stone, and external carving and painting were only auxiliary means.

  Drawing arrays in crystals and gems is a high-difficulty technique that can be achieved by two methods.

  Smelting and infiltration methods.

  Smelting is suitable for blank crystals and some low-energy gems, while infusion is suitable for high-level crystals and large energy gems.

  Xiao Zhan decided to adopt the first method. The level of law-refined jewelry depends on the level of crystal stones, which is more expensive.

  Xiao Zhan turned the amplification of the War God's armor to its maximum, and also activated the amplification of the Dragon Ring. In an instant, his power approached that of a celestial warrior. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Zhan arrived in front of a pile of materials, intending to craft a magical necklace. First, he needed to prepare a special magical ink, used for drawing magic patterns. This ink solidified rapidly when exposed to air, was colorless and transparent, and could completely absorb magical power. (The magical ink is an ink that contains and can absorb magical power. The higher the level of the array diagram, the higher the requirements for the ink. If the ink's magical power is insufficient, it relies on the magician's own magical power to supplement it.)

  Refining ink doesn't require a plethora of jars and containers filling the entire laboratory like an average alchemist, just one bottle to hold the ink is enough. Xiao Zhan remembered a chant specifically for refining ink, all he had to do was recite it and everything would be taken care of by the chant. After checking the materials one last time, Xiao Zhan closed his eyes and familiarized himself with the incantation.

  Tianlu beside him devoted all his attention to Xiao Zhan, with a dazed expression in her beautiful eyes. And Yanrui next to her was expressionless, making it impossible for people to know what he really thought.

  Actually, Yan Rui was half-believing and half-doubtful about whether Xiao Zhan could make jewelry, with an attitude of not caring. Regardless of whether Xiao Zhan could refine it or not, he had decided to give him a piece of the best jewelry from Cuilou afterwards. The Qin clan was the true ruler of Jue Xian City, and as the young master, Xiao Zhan's status was extraordinary, and it was said that he could mobilize the true power of the Qin clan. Yan Rui had learned from his people that even the current head of the Qin clan did not dare to disobey Xiao Zhan's requests.

  It's easy to imagine that if he offended Xiao Zhan, the Yan family would absolutely not have a good time in Jue Xian City.

  In front of the workbench, Xiao Zhan's eyes suddenly opened, and he whispered softly. A series of mysterious notes swirled around the workbench. Suddenly, a flame appeared out of thin air, and more than a dozen materials on the table flew up, rolled into the flames, and slowly dissolved after being smelted. Countless impurities were stripped away, finally transforming into a crystal clear **.

  As one note after another floated out, a large bottle of spiritual beast blood on the table suddenly shot out from inside the bottle and rushed into the flames.

  Suddenly, a dazzling flash of light burst forth, and a refreshing fragrance wafted up to his nostrils. In the blink of an eye, the flames died out, and Xiao Zhan opened the white jade treasure bottle he had prepared beforehand. Accompanied by a low hum, the colorless and transparent **“whooshing”** sound rushed into the bottle.

  At some point, a young man appeared in the workshop, looking at Xiao Zhan with a surprised expression. He had unintentionally heard that someone could make jewelry without using their hands and, although he didn't believe it, his curiosity got the better of him and he decided to come take a look.

  At this time, Xiao Zhan didn't care about the onlookers around him at all. He nodded in satisfaction and immediately entered the second step, drawing the formation diagram.

  When drawing an array, the speed must be fast and there can't be any slight mistake, otherwise everything has to start all over again. The size of the array depends entirely on the accessories being made. Xiao Zhan decided to make a seven-level magic necklace first, to practice his hand, and if he succeeded, he would give it to Tianlu as a token of their love.

  Carving an array diagram, if done by hand, a seventh-order spell would occupy the size of a knight's shield, and it is impossible to carve it into a crystal stone. To overcome this problem, Xiao Zhan uses chanting, the size of the array diagram is arbitrary, mainly depending on the intensity of the caster's spiritual power.

  Xiao Zhan held the treasure bottle, softly chanting a brand new spell. In an instant, tiny notes that were hard to see with the naked eye condensed and entered the bottle without dispersing, quickly dyeing the ink of various magical powers and splashing out. These threads danced, entwined, combined, and eventually solidified in mid-air, condensing into a necklace-like shape in the blink of an eye, surrounded by colorful light and floating in the air.

  The incantation didn't stop, and a cluster of purple-red flames suddenly appeared out of thin air. Under the terrifying high temperature, the sound of "crackling" burning could be faintly heard in the air. The faces of the other three people in the house changed abruptly, and they all retreated at once. Especially that young man who had come suddenly, staring at Xiao Zhan with a look of shock. This terrifying flame, the power it condensed had already reached the peak of breaking through the calamity, and the little boy in front was only ten or so years old, this was too unbelievable!

  Jewels and precious materials suddenly flew up, swirling into the fiery flames, momentarily flashing with dazzling light, "popping" crisp sounds, making it impossible to open one's eyes. The pendant composed of the array diagram suspended in mid-air flew into the resplendent light cluster at the right moment.

  Under the astonished gaze of three people, a seven-colored rainbow light halo gradually took shape, suspended in mid-air, dazzling and eye-catching.

  Xiao Zhan stretched out his hand and beckoned, the necklace slowly falling into his palm. He opened his True Eye and carefully examined it. The effect was even better than expected, with all its functions complete, and he had succeeded in refining it on the first try, Xiao Zhan was extremely excited.
