Chapter 714: Black Flame
This was Qin Sang’s first time refining an astra, so he exercised the utmost caution.
He took out the jade slip Shopkeeper Wu had given him and read through the artifact refinement insights again and again, carefully comprehending each line.
Whoosh!
The Yan Luo Banner of Ten Directions expanded to about one zhang tall, planted into the ground before Qin Sang in a triangular formation. As the banners fluttered, the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells gathered into a single mass at the center, appearing unusually calm.
After a brief pause, Qin Sang swept his gaze over the various spiritual materials and selected the easiest one to refine first. It was a material known as Silverstone. He brought it into his palm.
Silverstone was rough and pitted, like a rock embedded with countless silver beads.
Qin Sang tossed it into the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells and infused it with true essence.
Whoosh!
The flames opened and closed around the Silverstone, completely enveloping it.
Inside the flames, the Silverstone rolled and tumbled.
The power of the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells far surpassed that of ordinary earth fire. The surface of the Silverstone soon began to show signs of melting. But because artifact refinement demanded so much precision, the process remained slow.
Smoke rose steadily as the Silverstone underwent a long tempering. Its impurities were gradually burned away, leaving behind only the purest essence. In the end, the large block of Silverstone was reduced to a single globule of silver liquid, about the size of a longan fruit.
