Chapter 1170 - Might Have Some Unexpected Surprises
It was still early in the night and Ling Chuxi did not feel sleepy. In fact, she felt a little bored.
Ling Chuxi suddenly remembered that she had pretty much figured out the forging array she had learned from Gongxi Kuangdao. It was time to try refining that piece of Black Dragon Gold and re-refining the Luo Chen Sword.
"Gongxi Kuangdao," Ling Chuxi called out softly.
Ever since he had sworn to follow Ling Chuxi, Gongxi Kuangdao had been dutifully acting as a guard, hiding around Ling Chuxi at all times. It was only because he was afraid of angering Huangfu Qingjue that he deliberately avoided being directly present around her.
"Yes, my Lady." Sure enough, as soon as Ling Chuxi"s voice rang out, Gongxi Kuangdao jumped out of nowhere and stood respectfully in front of her.
"I have almost figured out the forging array. We can try to refine the Black Dragon Gold," said Ling Chuxi.
Although she had successfully forged a spiritual weapon on her first try, Ling Chuxi knew that a lot of luck was also involved that time, so she was not blindly arrogant. The requirements for forging refined gold and mithril were much higher than that of refining iron. Gongxi Kuangdao had been forging for many years, so he would have some experience.
"Yes, my Lady," said Gongxi Kuangdao excitedly.
If he accompanied Ling Chuxi to forge, there might be unexpected surprises and gains.
Ling Chuxi didn"t say much and immediately took out the Lava Fire Crystal and Ice Jade Crystal in preparation. Ever since witnessing her forging abilities previously, Gongxi Kuangdao decided to give these two things to her. With Ling Chuxi around, he wouldn"t have much opportunity to forge anyway.
After learning the forging technique for so many years, he was only able to forge an iron essence into a blade that looked neither like a proper blade nor a fire-lighting stick. But he was so proud of himself. Yet, here was someone who was able to forge a spiritual weapon for the first time. This made Gongxi Kuangdao uncomfortable.
After recalling the forging array in her mind again, Ling Chuxi took out the Black Dragon Gold.
"Give me your blade." Black Dragon Gold was too precious, and the Cang Yuan Sword spirit was still asleep within the Luo Chen Sword, so Ling Chuxi naturally didn"t dare to take the risk.
"Okay, okay." Gongxi Kuangdao missed the chance to receive a spiritual weapon last time, and he regretted it so much that his intestines turned green. Even if Ling Chuxi didn"t say anything, he would have gladly handed the blade to her.
He hurriedly took out the blade and handed it to Ling Chuxi.
Ling Chuxi put the blade and Black Dragon Gold in front of her and circulated her True Qi to activate the Lava Fire Crystal. Soon, the Lava Fire Crystal started to emit a blue crystal fire. Compared to last time, the temperature of the fire was much higher.
Gongxi Kuangdao was impressed by Ling Chuxi"s improvement as he instructed her forging from the side.
Ling Chuxi focused her mind and slowly moved the blue crystal fire toward the Black Dragon Gold. As soon as the blue crystal fire touched the Black Dragon Gold, it was blocked by an invisible force and bounced back.
But Ling Chuxi was not in a hurry. She moved her fingers slightly to control her True Qi. The flame jumped slightly and formed blue lines that flowed like thin streams of water before forming a strange pattern. This was the forging array.
The array tightly wrapped around the Black Dragon Gold. The heat of the crystal increased and its colour turned darker. It finally became a purple crystal.
With such high temperatures surrounding it, a layer of crystal glaze formed on the Black Dragon Gold as it started to melt slowly.
Beads of sweat had already formed on Ling Chuxi"s forehead. As expected of an intermediate forging technique. This method of forging with arrays, True Qi, and crystal fire had increased her consumption of True Qi by at least five times. Despite her strong control of her True Qi, she could not take it anymore.
Would the forging succeed this time?
