When Lanyu saw that Old Yun had suppressed the storm, she put away the Blood Devouring Heavy Blade and threw all of her consciousness into the crafting furnace.
The ingredients were all complete! However, he did not immediately begin to take shape. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and absorbed more than two hours' worth of spiritual energy before taking action.
A Xuan Artifact forged by a Grade Six Weapons Craftsman – Drainage! Form! Sculpting! Slicing! Slash! The whole process was done without any delay! Everyone was dumbfounded! This was especially so for Xiong Batian and the Keeper. Their mouths were open wide enough for a giant pumpkin to be stuffed inside! They had completely disregarded the person before them. Now, they were using their actions to viciously slap their faces!
Whoosh!
Lanyu gasped for breath. His entire body was soaked with sweat, and his body was covered in burns. But, he didn't care at all!
After crushing another low-grade spirit stone and absorbing all of the spirit energy within, Lanyu began the final step of forging a Xuan Artifact – Spirit Gathering!
All Xuan Artifacts have a spirit, and the size of the spirit energy depends on the artificer's own ability. The ability is high, the spirit is high, the ability is low, and the spirit is low!
To a profound artifact, this step of Spirit Gathering was extremely important; it was akin to bestowing the soul! A profound artifact with intelligence could resonate with its master's mind and display the greatest power!
Lanyu pushed her spirit energy to wrap around her right palm! The curved palm shaped into a blade slowly drew runes on both sides of the blade! The moment his palm made contact with the blade, his fingers immediately became scorched red. The excruciating pain as though it was tearing his skin apart caused his face to contort, but he forced himself not to cry out. Then, he bit the tip of his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence, allowing the profound artifact to recognize him as its master.
The rune that Lanyu was currently drawing was called the 'Fire Devouring Symbol'! It was a high-grade fire rune, and it had an extremely unique property. It could swallow other types of flames and strengthen one's own body!
The process of gathering spirit energy was extremely long and painful. Lanyu drew runes while also using her blood essence to endow the Xuan Artifact with spirit energy, the spirit energy within her dantian was rapidly being consumed. Although this process could strengthen his physique, that subtle feeling was far from being as real as the pain!
And thanks to Lanyu, if it were anyone else, including the chakram, he wouldn't dare to say he had such a strong will to resist to the end.
After two hours, the spirit stones consumed were no longer able to replenish the terrifying amount of spirit energy consumed. Lanyu had no choice but to ask Huangfu Xueruo for help. "Xue Rou, transmit your spirit energy to my body!"
Huangfu Xueruo had long wanted to share some of the pain and suffering Lan Yu suffered with her two hands. Without hesitation, she placed them on Lan Yu's back and circulated her spirit energy, pouring it into his body!
With the support of her spirit energy, the pressure on Lanyu was greatly reduced! The speed of gathering spirit energy was much faster!
Lanyu's body was like a bottomless pit as it continuously devoured the spirit energy in her body, causing fine beads of sweat to instantly appear on her forehead. However, she was very clear that if he stopped, Lanyu's Xuan Artifact forging would most likely fail, so she had to persevere!
As the Spirit Gathering process neared its end, the natural energy in the cave began to stir! The whole mountain began to shake violently!
Kong Que's expression was aghast as he exclaimed, "This is the sign before the Xuan Artifact was formed! F * ck me! This kid can actually forge Xuan Artifacts? "
Just as he finished speaking, an earth-shattering explosion came from the direction of the Flowing Moon Valley, shaking the entire ground!
Old Yun's expression changed as he suddenly realized something. He waved his hand and commanded, "Follow me to the Flowing Moon Valley! To form a seal formation! "
None of the leaders said anything as they followed Old Yun out of the cave. They all knew that this Xuan Artifact forged by Lanyu had resonated with the one hidden in the Floating Moon Valley. If they did not suppress it now, they might not be able to keep the secret anymore!
After more than ten minutes, the shaking in the Valley of Flowing Moon finally calmed down, but the shaking on the side of the platform grew more and more intense. The sky above the peak of the platform formed a huge black cloud, lightning breaking through the sky, its momentum mighty and frightening, causing the crowd to flee in all directions, thinking that the heavenly tribulation had descended!
In the cave, just as Lanyu was about to draw the last rune, he discovered that he had lost the support of his spiritual energy! His heart turned cold as he thought, "Not good!" Turning his head, he saw that Huangfu Xuelou had already fainted because of overconsumption!
Lanyu frowned. She was only missing the last step! Was he going to fail?
"Let me handle it!" Lanyu howled. He wasn't willing to give up! His strong will to channel his soul power and break through the barrier of the first level of the Martial Master realm!
Boom!
Perhaps because of just how persistent Lanyu was, that barrier had actually been broken by him!
Whoosh!
With the shackles lifted, the surrounding heaven and earth spirit energy flooded into Lanyu's body like a tide, nourishing his dried up meridians!
Lanyu was wild with joy! He did not dare to hesitate and immediately gathered his spirit energy in his palm and finished drawing the last rune!
Xuan Artifact Completed! A dragon-headed phoenix! The symbols were dazzling as they continuously circulated! Tyrant's Breath Test!
Roar!
The sound of the blade was deafening! A huge saber Qi flew out from the Heavy Blade that was a Xuan Artifact that was drinking blood!
Boom!
A huge crack appeared on the ceiling of the cave! Shards flew in all directions!
The Xuan Artifact, Blood Drinking Saber, automatically detached itself from the mother groove and inserted itself into the ground beside Lanyu. It buzzed as it greeted its master!
"What the f * ck!" This was impossible! This is absolutely impossible! " Kong Fanchen's expression was one of complete shock! Just the saber Qi emitted by the Blood Drinking Heavy Blade made him feel a chill all over his body. He had the illusion that it was being torn apart.
"F * ck, your father has to escape first!" After a while, Kong Fanchen came back to his senses. He thought of something, and wanted to slip away while Lanyu wasn't paying attention.
"Stop!" "If you admit your defeat, Kong Fanchen, do you think you can run away?" Lanyu picked Huangfu Xueruo up from the ground and gave her a Origin Strengthening Pill. After that, she carried her to the side of the cave and walked towards Kong Fanchen with a saber in her hand. A sharp aura emanated from her.
"Lanyu, what are you doing?" The muscles on Kong Fanchen's face twitched as he said fearfully.
Now he finally understood. Lanyu was a fiend! He was more dazzling than anyone else! He regretted agreeing to help Qi Lu deal with Lanyu!
"When you've paid the money you lost to me, you can leave." As Lan Yu spoke, he held the heavy sword in front of his chest and forced Kong Fanchen to retreat.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly echoed. Old Yun led the crowd in, all of them looking exhausted. They had first suppressed the restlessness of the profound artifacts in the Flowing Moon Valley, and when they returned, they had even jointly resisted the divine tribulation's attack! This was a great help to Lanyu. Otherwise, this small mountain would have been split into pieces by the heavenly thunder along with the people in the cave.
"Success, success?" Kong Que panted. He had been exhausted. When he saw the Xuan Artifact in Lanyu's hands, his old eyes flashed with greed, but it was quickly overshadowed by him.
"Am I dreaming? A kid at the Martial Master realm was actually able to refine a Xuan Artifact? " Xiong Batian narrowed his eyes, as if he was afraid that he was seeing things. He stared at the Xuan Artifact Blood Drinking Heavy Blade and said in shock.
"Haha, you are truly worthy of being my disciple. Lanyu, I am incomparably proud for you!" Yang Qian's lips curved up in a satisfied smile. She was very glad that she was able to recruit such a top talent like Lanyu into the sect!
"Good boy!" This old man will depend on you from now on! "Hahaha!" Old Yun was so excited that he couldn't control himself. A moment later, he realized that he had revealed his mouth and coughed to look around, but no one was paying attention to him. He couldn't help but feel a little awkward.
"Haha, I didn't think that Lanyu would be able to refine a Xuan Artifact. Congratulations!" We've all used up quite a bit of energy. Let's hurry back to the mountain and rest. " The gem suddenly laughed dryly, pretending to congratulate him. Then, it turned around and grabbed ahold of Kong Fanchen's hand, wanting to leave.
"Stop!" "First, I'll pay for the lost metal essence and spirit stones!" Lanyu coldly said as she stood at the entrance of the cave like a ghost with a heavy blade in her hand.
The gem was obviously trying to renege on his debt, so how could Lanyu let him go?
"Lanyu, don't push your luck!" The reason you were able to refine this Xuan Artifact was due to the rank 3 crafting furnace that I borrowed from you. I did not ask you for the wear and tear fees and it was already considered cheap. Also, we helped you block the heavenly tribulation, what do you think? How much gold do you want to pay us? Of course, something like a face was not worth metal essence or spirit stones.
"So, you're not going to give it to me?" Lanyu laughed coldly.
"Hmph, so what if I don't give it to you?" The pebble didn't care about the word. It began to use its seniority and shamelessness.
"You have to give it today, even if you don't want to!" Lanyu raised her Xuan Artifact Blood Drinking Heavy Blade and chopped down with the momentum. Streams of sharp air currents gathered on the blade.
Boom!
Even before the saber was out, a strong wind had already started howling inside the cave, crushing down towards the pebble.
He was only at the eighth level of the Martial Master realm, and because he had been lazy when he was young, the space in his dantian had only been opened up to less than four hundred miles. When he faced Lanyu, he did not feel a great pressure.
And his face constantly trembled with anger. Lanyu had pulled out a knife towards him, and now she wanted to chop him in half? He was already at the limit of his endurance. The dignity of the head was being desecrated by a disciple like this?
Ah!" This old man will cripple you today! " The chakram stomped its foot against the rock, and with astral wind condensing on its right fist, it ruthlessly punched out towards Lanyu.
Lanyu didn't move. Instead, she put down the saber with a sneer on her face. Old Yun moved and blocked the gem, his roar echoing out ..
At some point, everyone had returned outside the cave and were looking in the direction of the cave.
"I wonder what the result will be. Did Lanyu actually succeed?"
"In any case, Kong Fanchen definitely lost. Look at how he came out, can he still continue refining?"
Many disciples were sighing with joy. Previously, they had bet on Kong Fanchen to win, but now, they were going to make a comeback.
Not long after, the people in the cave came out, and the crowd immediately tensed up.
It was just that the Xuan Artifact Blood Drinking Saber he was holding, sparkled in the sunlight, causing the crowd to squint their eyes. Kong Fanchen's face was filled with dejection; he must have received a very serious blow, because besides Yang Qian, the other heads all had bitter expressions.
In the end, there seemed to be no need to guess. The crowd was stunned and no one dared to look down on Lanyu again. Even the disciples that had bet on Kong Fanchen couldn't help but admire her.
"The results are out. Lanyu won. Everyone disperse." Old Yun walked a few steps forward with a tired expression as he announced.
No one dared to question Old Yun's words. Many people wanted to know how the bet was handled, but they held their tongue. Not long after, the crowd cleared away.
In the end, he failed. The space inside was not large enough, so he simply carried Huangfu Xueruo who had just woken up on his back, and left without looking back.
