Chapter 440

Chapter 440: Chapter 436: Pure Yang Sword Embryo (Part 1) Chapter 440: Chapter 436: Pure Yang Sword Embryo (Part 1) People in gray robes moved busily here, either carrying items or handling affairs, with a constant clinking and clanking sound echoing around. The whole place was bustling with activity.

Shen Luo had never visited this kind of artifact refining workshop before and was instinctively curious. He walked around while scanning the environment non-stop.

Perhaps Ma Xiuxiu had informed them earlier, the people in the refining workshop did not stop Shen Luo and the gray-robed man, allowing both to enter.

They turned left and right inside, and soon arrived in a courtyard. Within it stood a large black room, sans windows, and a gray-black stone door alone. It gave off a secretive vibe.

The room's walls were built of a type of black stone and there was not a single crevice to be seen. It looked as if the space was carved out of a single large stone.

“Master Shen, here we are. This room is the refining facility.” said the gray-robed man.

“What type of stone is this? It looks rather special.” Shen Luo touched the wall, which was exceptionally cold and smooth, similar to silk. He couldn't help but ask.

“This is Black Cold Stone, it's extremely tough and has heat insulation properties. One of the elders from our hall transported it from the far North. If a regular material was used to build the refining room, it wouldn't last long before it would be damaged due to the high temperatures of refining.” The gray-robed man explained as he took out a silver talisman and placed it on the stone door of the refining room.

The talisman's surface immediately revealed a cluster of white light that then merged into it.

A layer of white light emerged on the stone door which shortly disappeared, and the door slowly opened.

“Please, Master Shen.” The gray-robed man led Shen Luo inside.

The black room was quite spacious, only spanning around ten meters square. On one side of the room there was a large smelting furnace, at the bottom of which a few not yet extinguished red-hot charcoal blocks had been placed.

Near the furnace was a large basket containing fist-sized chunks of a special type of red stone.

On the nearby wall, two gourd-shaped urns were hanging, it was unclear what they contained.

Apart from the furnace, the other side of the room had a large casting table with an assortment of tools such as hammers and tongs.

“I'm not proficient in artifact refining, could your Excellency explain how these things are used?” After quickly observing the inside of the room, Shen Luo asked the gray-robed man.

“Sure. This is Red Elemental Carbon, made by mixing in special materials. The temperature of the flame it produces when burned is far superior to ordinary flames.” The gray-robed man pointed to the red stone in the basket and explained.

Shen Luo picked up a piece of the carbon and took a closer look, but soon he put it back.

“The contents of these small urns are gunpowder, it can further raise the temperature of the furnace fire. When Red Elemental Carbon and gunpowder are used together, they can melt most spiritual materials, although it still can't compare to Spirit Fire.” The gray-robed man took down one of the urns from the wall. It contained dark red powder that looked like sand.

Learning this, Shen Luo was secretly delighted.

Melting the materials of the Pure Yang Sword Embryo called for a not so high temperature. The flame of this casting furnace was already sufficient.

The gray-robed man then went on to explain how to adjust the furnace's flame temperature and the uses of various tools on the casting station.

Shen Luo committed all of it to memory.

“Do you need anything else, young master?” the gray-robed man asked.

“No need, these are enough. I'll need to stay here for quite a while. Please instruct others not to disturb me.” Shen Luo replied.

“Rest assured, Master Shen, I will make the arrangement. Absolutely no one will disturb you.” the gray-robed man immediately assured.

Seeing that Shen Luo said nothing to him, this man tactfully took his leave and closed the stone door behind him.

Once the door was closed, the outside light was completely blocked. Thankfully, a glowing luminous stone had been installed at the top of the room, which was enough to light up the environment.

Shen Luo cleaned the floor of the room, clearing a flat open space. He took out a variety of materials for setting up the Array and began to draw the formation pattern on the ground, setting up an Array.

This Array was recorded in the Pure Yang Sword Canon and was used to assist in sword refining.

His understanding of Arrays was not profound. Only once before, in the Dreamland's Longevity Village, had he set up an Array to help the villagers leave.

The Sword Refining Array in front of him was complicate and Shen Luo's cultivation level was too low, much lower than it had been in the Dreamland's Longevity Village. Thus, it took him a full three days to set up the Array.

He followed what was written in the Pure Yang Sword Technique, inserted more than twenty pieces of Immortal Jade into the Array, and carefully checked it. Once he confirmed that everything was correct, he touched it with a seal.

Immediately, the Array emitted a red light and made a sound like a raging wind howling. The whole room also began to tremble slightly.

Seeing this, he was overjoyed and quickly sealed off the Array to stop it from working.

After setting up the Array, Shen Luo came to the side of the forging table, waved his hand to take out a lot of materials for refining the Pure Yang Sword Embryo, and placed them on the table.

He did not immediately light the furnace, but first processed the materials, either by slicing them into small pieces or grinding them into powder.

It took him half a day to process all the materials.

After the preparations were completed, he took a short break. After his spirit, energy, and soul were all restored to their peak condition, he officially began to condense the Pure Yang Sword Embryo.

He first lit the forging furnace, took out a black gold three-legged cauldron, and placed it on the furnace fire.

This was a simple refining cauldron, generally used by novices in artifact refining. Shen Luo was not proficient in artifact refining, so this three-legged cauldron was enough for him.

Under the flame's engulfment, the cauldron quickly turned dark red, releasing a burning temperature.

He took a large jade bottle and poured the silver-white liquid inside into the cauldron. Then, he took a piece of fiery red spirit wood, which was the main material for refining the Pure Yang Sword Embryo and threw it into the three-legged cauldron to forge it with the furnace fire.

This silver-white liquid was called Quenching Spirit Dew, a kind of spirit liquid that could refine the impurities contained in the wood-type spiritual material.

In the blink of an eye, three or four hours passed. As the temperature inside the cauldron got higher and higher, most of the Quenching Spirit Dew evaporated, leaving a much thicker liquid. Meanwhile, drops of fiery red viscous liquid arose on the surface of the Fire Scale Wood, showing signs of melting.

Seeing this, Shen Luo grabbed the gunpowder hung on the wall and threw it into the furnace fire. The fire suddenly flared up, continuing to forge.

Two hours later, the Fire Scale Wood finally melted completely, blending with the residue of the Quenching Spirit Dew and forming a lump of pure fiery red sticky liquid.

The impurities in the Fire Scale Wood had also been completely refined.

Shen Luo waved his right hand and a burst of Mana shot out, surrounding the liquid inside the cauldron.

He formed a seal and led, the fiery red liquid flew out of the three-legged cauldron, dropping onto a two-feet-long green jade on the forging platform.

There was a sword-shaped groove on the green jade. The fiery red liquid seeped into it, spreading rapidly, and soon filled the sword-shaped groove.

Once removed from the forging furnace, the red liquid solidified quickly, turning into a dark red small sword.
