Chapter 693: Chapter 393: Artifact Refining

Li Shiming decided to go into seclusion this time, partly to forge flying swords.

It should be known that the "Star Fallen Gold Stone" he had obtained was enough to forge ten flying sword Spiritual Artifacts.

Although he had the help of Silver Corpse Nanming’s "Nanming Leaving Fire," he did not know how long it would take to successfully forge ten flying sword Spiritual Artifacts.

Of course, due to the destiny Spiritual Artifact IBMz15, the process of forging flying sword Spiritual Artifacts would not affect his ability to do other things, not even Alchemy.

He opened the design blueprint from the destiny Spiritual Artifact IBMz15, and the design blueprint file was extremely large.

In the computer room space, Shiming had improved his nano-level control from 27 nanometers to 10 nanometers after advancing to the Golden Core Middle Stage and enhancing his overall quality.

The runes to be inscribed inside the flying sword Spiritual Artifacts he was preparing to forge would be engraved using the 10-nanometer control force.

When he started the forging process, he originally thought that the most difficult part would be melting the Star Fallen Gold Stone, but it turned out to be exceedingly simple.

The "Nanming Leaving Fire" of the Silver Corpse Nanming, within the bearable potency range of the Heavenly Gang Four Phase Array, melted the "Star Fallen Gold Stone" in just ten breaths’ time.

He also melted several types of Third Grade Metals with the Nanming Leaving Fire and mixed them with the "Star Fallen Gold Stone" to form a Third Grade Alloy with multiple properties.

The strength of the Nanming Leaving Fire was so great that no catalysts were needed throughout the entire melting process, which made the Third Grade Alloy extremely pure.

Shiming used his Divine Thought to separate one-tenth of the Third Grade Alloy; Silver Corpse Nanming reduced the temperature of the Nanming Leaving Fire a bit, solidifying one-tenth of the Third Grade Alloy while his Divine Thought transformed into a hammer, repeatedly forging the Third Grade Alloy.

At this point, the brain power involved in Artifact Refining was increased to four, and under the forging process, the Third Grade Alloy soon matched the dimensions of the blueprint from IBMz15 exactly.

The error was no greater than 10 nanometers, which was his theoretical limit, and he had reached this limit in practical operation.

Although it hadn’t been enchanted yet, just looking at this flying sword one could feel its perfection, the curvature of the flying sword’s blade, the length of the sword’s blade and hilt had all been subject to extensive analysis and research by IBMz15.

From a wealth of Artifact Refining knowledge, as well as flying swords from successful predecessors and combining theories from the science of his previous life, came the design of the flying sword’s appearance.

Upon truly seeing the form of this flying sword Spiritual Artifact, Li Shiming felt as if this sword

was inherently meant to be just so.

What followed was the enchantment process. More runes engraved, the better the results that the flying sword would produce.

However, when he previously forged Second Grade Spirit Artifacts, he was greatly limited in the number of runes he could enchant due to the materials available.

This time, the Third Grade Alloy’s quality had reached the pinnacle of Third Grade, which allowed him to fully utilize his abilities.

Adhering to the philosophy of Sword Cultivators, the flying sword Spiritual Artifact would not carry any special abilities; such artifacts might possess a certain special prowess, but were easily restrained.

In the view of Sword Cultivation, only the purest flying sword Spiritual Artifacts, with the most fundamental enchantments, could unleash the full power of a Sword Cultivator’s Sword Intent.

Although not a pure Sword Cultivator, Li Shiming was intent on forging a flying sword Spiritual Artifact that conformed to Sword Cultivating principles.

Using the Six Trigram Array’s arrangement, he placed the Sturdiness Rune, Speed Rune, Sharpness Rune, Size Control Rune, Storage Spirit Rune, and Breaking Space Rune in the six positions of the array.

Each rune was drawn with 10-nanometer lines; although the lines were so fine that they reduced the amount of material consumed during the engraving process, which weakened the effect of each rune considerably, this engraving method allowed for a number of enchantment runes on the flying sword Spiritual Artifacts that was tens of thousands times greater than those made by normal methods.

It could be said that the vast majority of Golden Core cultivators couldn’t see the runes engraved on the sword, unless they had cultivated a Secret Technique to enhance their eyesight.

His approach to Artifact Refining had already exceeded the scope of Artifact Refiners; not to mention Golden Core Stage refiners, even Nascent Soul Ancestors couldn’t achieve such refining methods.

Were it not for "Divine Sight," the computer room space, and the destiny Spiritual Artifact IBMz15, he simply could not have achieved the control ability of 10 nanometers and applied it to Artifact Refining.

The Nanming Leaving Fire maintained the temperature, keeping the sword billet in a hardness suitable for engraving.

Starting from the tip of the sword, he engraved one Six Trigram Array after another, arranging them in a bigger composite Six Trigram Array.

This was Li Shiming’s first time refining an artifact in such a manner. Although the destiny Spiritual Artifact IBMz15’s simulations and analyses had predicted a hundred percent success rate, there was still a difference between simulation and practice.

Luckily he had plenty of materials for refining; even if he failed on a sword billet, it wouldn’t be too regrettable.

Many brains were dedicated to the work of engraving, which was very different from other Artifact Refiners. What consumed most of his time was not melting the materials, but engraving.

Despite involving over a hundred brains, leaving only a few to maintain his Alchemy and cultivation, it still took ten full days to complete the engraving of this first flying sword Spiritual Artifact.

Engraving on the sword billet could not be rushed; only more brain power could be invested, sharing the workload of engraving.

After ten days, Li Shiming held a flying sword Spiritual Artifact in his hand; because he personally refined it and integrated his spirit into it during the refining process, the flying sword Spiritual Artifact was in a state of being a hundred percent consecrated by him upon completion.
