Chapter 78: The Sword is Complete
At this moment, several colors of thick ** were floating in front of Haitian, which was the purified material mentioned earlier. Under everyone's astonished gaze, Haitian's hands kept changing, pinching out various mysterious gestures.
And those several thick ones also keep rolling.
Although Wei Yu and others couldn't see the flames unleashed by Haitian, they could all feel the high temperature, and one after another used their sword spirits' power to protect their bodies. Wei He and Wei Hai, who didn't have sword spirits, were also completely protected by Toka.
Since Haitian began to refine the material, Xue Lin's gaze has been fixed on Haitian, not daring to leave for a moment. She is also an alchemist, and everything that Teacher Wei Yu said earlier was naturally heard in her ears, and she was even more shocked and confused in her heart.
The gaze towards the sea and sky was also filled with jealousy! The sea and sky were not much older than her, yet they actually knew this legendary Heart Refining Technique. From this point on, she was already no match for the sea and sky.
Undisturbed by external disturbances, Haitian devoted himself to the high-intensity purification of the materials in front of him. Many materials that were already considered pure in Wei Yu's eyes were further purified in Haitian's hands.
The crowd's astonished gaze had barely been withdrawn when the sea and sky began to stir.
His hands kept changing into intricate hand seals, and the majestic heart fire was jumping more and more frantically. The scorching high temperature made even Hai Tian himself almost unbearable.
Haitian stared intently at the materials in front of him, constantly controlling them in mid-air, carefully merging several materials together.
Suddenly, the mixture of several materials emitted a burst of light, followed by a loud "boom" sound, and the thick mixture suddenly exploded.
Not just Hai Tian himself, but even Wei Yu and others were completely stunned.
"What...what's going on?" Toka asked in a daze, being completely clueless about alchemy.
Haitian also had a bewildered expression on his face. He just followed the method recorded in "Nine Layers of Overlapping Waves" to do it, how could it turn out like this?
Wei Yu, who had become more astute with age, immediately spotted the problem with Hai Tian. Although the materials had already become very pure, they hadn't merged well together, resulting in a violent explosion.
This situation is actually very easy to avoid, and any decent equipment master can solve this problem well. The reason why Haitian encountered such a situation is simply that he lacks experience.
Wei Yu coughed and roughly explained the situation with Hai Tian, and everyone suddenly understood, even Hai Tian himself looked like he had just realized something. In fact, Wei Yu still had one more sentence that he didn't say, it was a mistake that only people who were refining equipment for the first time would make.
"I see, no wonder such a thing happened." Hai Tian let out a bitter laugh, but this was his first time refining equipment after all. Even if he failed, it was still quite normal.
Then, Haitian took out the "Ninefold Overlapping Waves" again. Earlier, in his eagerness to start refining equipment, he had only glanced at the experience section, and it seemed that even with technique, insufficient experience would be a big problem.
"Cough, Haitian, you're not a beginner at refining equipment, are you?" This question had been stuck in Wei Yu's heart for a long time and he had wanted to ask since earlier. Although Haitian was using the Heart Refining Method, many of his techniques seemed very unfamiliar, just like a newcomer.
"Yes? What's wrong?" To this question, Hai Tian frankly admitted it.
Wei Yu was taken aback, never expecting that Hai Tian was actually refining equipment for the first time. He thought back to earlier when Hai Tian had flipped through a tattered book before refining the equipment, could it be that the tattered book was the legendary Heart Refining Method?
Wei Yu's emotions couldn't help but surge at the thought, and he asked tremulously: "That... can I borrow the book in your hand to take a look?"
Haitian slightly furrowed his brow, unexpectedly the old man brazenly asked to borrow "Ninefold Overlapping Waves".
"I'll lend it to you, but you have to agree to one condition!" After a moment's hesitation, Haitian decided to agree, anyway, he was just lending it out for the other person to take a look, and he wouldn't suffer any loss himself.
"Alright, don't mention one condition, even ten conditions are fine!" Hearing this, Hai Tian agreed, and Wei Yu's heroic spirit surged forth. However, he was afraid that Hai Tian would make some difficult demands, so he hastily added, "It must be something I can accomplish."
"This is naturally, actually my condition is not difficult, as long as you can refine a high-grade Xuanjie sword for me." Haitian smiled slightly, and as soon as he said this, Wei He suddenly understood that Haitian was doing this for him, and his emotions couldn't help but become excited.
"High-grade sword equipment of the Mystic Rank?" Wei Yu didn't respond as hastily as Hai Tian had imagined, instead furrowing his brow slightly. "What do you want this for?"
"I have my uses, and if all else fails, just lend me for a bit." Haitian also knew that refining high-grade sword equipment was quite difficult, so he lowered his requirements a bit.
After a moment of contemplation, Wei Yu directly agreed: "Alright, but you can only borrow it for three days at most!"
"Three days is enough." Hai Tian smiled, "But I'll wait until I've finished competing with Xue Lin first. If you secretly tell Xue Lin to come and defeat me, then I'll be in trouble."
"Bullshit! Do you think I'll lose to a newbie like you who can't even master fusion?" Before Wei Yu could respond, Xue Lin had already jumped out first. Initially, she thought she was doomed when she saw Hai Tian use the Heart Refining Method, but after seeing his clumsy refining process, her confidence surged again.
Just as Haitian was about to speak, Xiaoyu had already shouted out: "So what if he's a newcomer? Didn't you also start from being a newcomer? Besides, even if he is a newcomer, Tian Ge is still a genius and can easily defeat you!"
"Hmph! Is he a genius?" Xue Lin sneered and glanced at him, "If I lose to him, I'll run naked on the streets!"
"Alright, you said it!" Before Haitian could respond, Xiaoyu had already answered for him. Finally, he turned to Haitian and said, "Brother Tian, give this girl a good scolding, let her know that there are people outside of people, and heavens beyond the sky!"
"Come on, Tian Ge, beat this guy!" Xia Hai also shouted out loudly.
This time, Hai Tian did not refuse. Xue Lin's arrogant attitude made him extremely disgusted. Although he had failed to refine the equipment earlier, it didn't mean that he would fail this time as well.
"Fine, if I lose, then I'll go streaking!" Ha Tian snorted and put away the "Ninefold Overlapping Waves", starting his second attempt.
Wei Yu looked at Xue Lin with a mixture of laughter and tears, although Hai Tian had failed earlier, the Heart Refining Technique was not just for show. If he were to refine it again, he believed that Hai Tian's chances of success would greatly increase, making it extremely difficult for Xue Lin to win.
Wei Yu originally wanted to stop this meaningless contest, or change the final bet, but Toka was standing in front of Wei Yu with a cold smile, making it clear that he wouldn't let him intervene. This made Wei Yu extremely surprised and confused as to why Toka had inserted himself into the situation.
Just as Wei Yu was deep in thought, Hai Tian had already begun refining the materials once again.
The most important thing in the method of refining the heart is the heart fire, and the temperature of the heart fire determines the purity of the material. Calm down and follow the previous steps to extract the same amount of material as before.
Glancing at Sherin, who was still slowly throwing the ore into the furnace one by one, Haitian coldly sneered and began to rapidly change his hands, the flame in front of his chest also constantly changing from a transparent flame to a fiery red flame.
Wei Yu looked at the sea and sky in surprise, he didn't know much about the Heart Refining Technique, but he could feel it, the red flame at this moment was hotter than the transparent flame just now.
The heavens and the earth have a harmonious and orderly fusion of the refined materials, this time's fusion is not as reckless as the first one. Each fusion is extremely careful, fearing another explosion.
Just as Haitian began to merge, Xue Lin's refining work had also reached the final stage. She glanced at Haitian with disdain, believing that Haitian would still make a mistake in the end.
In the entire Liu Ling City, who doesn't know that she is the talented student of the fifth-grade alchemist Wei Yu, and became a second-grade alchemist at just thirteen years old. I remember when she first refined equipment, she tried ten times, all failed, until the eleventh time succeeded.
She believed that even if Hai Tian was a genius, he couldn't surpass her, especially since she was already a second-tier cultivator. Refining a low-grade yellow sword was child's play for her.
The raging flames made her small face flush red, and she glanced triumphantly at Haitian beside her. But in that glance, she was stunned.
The ocean and sky have already begun their final shaping work.
What is meant by "taking shape" is that after all the materials have been fused together, a huge sword intent is used to control and form it into the shape of a long sword. This step is the most difficult part of the entire refining process, requiring not only a huge sword intent but also caution. If even the slightest mistake occurs, it will directly lead to failure in refining.
Most alchemists fall at this hurdle.
Haitian was not aware of the importance of this task, but due to the previous failure, his spirit became more concentrated than ever before.
The sword's supreme level of recognition made it extremely easy for him to control. Even so, he was still being very careful, afraid of making even the slightest mistake.
The entire room was quiet, with no one daring to disturb Haotian. As a fifth-grade alchemist, Wei Yu held his breath even tighter, knowing that Haotian had reached the final critical moment.
"Merge!" In an instant, Haitian changed several gestures, and the materials he carefully refined had completely merged together at this time, forming a long sword shape.
The sea and sky did not end there, the movements in his hands had not stopped at all, countless inexplicable gestures brought a huge sword spirit power to strike on the sword body, the grayish-brown sword body, under the assistance of the sea and sky, shone with dazzling light.
"Set!" Haotian finished the last gesture, let out a low growl, and the light on the grayish-brown long sword floating in mid-air suddenly dimmed.
"It's done!" Looking at the perfect sword in front of him, Haitian himself was overjoyed.
However, Sherin, who had just begun to merge with the other side, was pale and stared at the gray-brown long sword in front of Haitian, muttering: "Impossible! Impossible! How could he succeed for the second time?"
