"Should I give it a try too?"
Qin Xin saw that the greatsword spirit weapon the martial artist had obtained was quite good, and for a moment he was also a little itchy.
Previously, Qin Xin obtained a lot of Xuan Iron from that iron ore vein. Although he sold some of it directly to the Tuocang Mountain Pill Academy, some of it is still left.
In any case, these materials are not of much use to Qin Xin, and even if he sells them, he won't get much spirit stone in return.
After speaking with Danqing, Qin Xin went directly to an empty forging furnace.
This forging furnace was no different from the ones around it, except that there was a shield symbol on top of it, the meaning of which Qin Xin could not understand.
With the idea of giving it a try, Qin Xin took out some black iron and threw it into the forging furnace. In order to make the refined spiritual weapon full of more powerful spiritual energy, he also took out a yellowish-brown level six demonic beast crystal from his spatial ring.
Of course, Qin Xin's process was very quick, and the surrounding rogue cultivators all focused their attention on the forging furnace in front of them, so they naturally didn't pay much attention to a mere second-level Yuanfu Realm youth.
As the array within the tower operates, the intense heat emanating from the underground magma is continuously compressed and channeled into the forging furnace.
For a moment, Qin Xin could sense that the temperature of the flames inside the forging furnace, amplified by the array, seemed to be even stronger than the Azure Rock Fire in his hand.
It can be said that the array that automatically refines spiritual artifacts in this tower has far exceeded Qin Xin's understanding.
Even Danqing praised it repeatedly, and was very surprised by the old man's talent. After all, the construction of this kind of formation is very mysterious. Even some masters who have devoted their lives to studying formations probably cannot do it.
Through his spiritual sense, Qin Xin could perceive that as the earth-yellow level-six demon beast crystal shell gradually peeled away, the violent spiritual power within was being released.
Within this forging furnace, there seemed to be an array suppressing it, preventing the violent spiritual energy from escaping and keeping it firmly contained.
As the pieces of black iron slowly melted, the spiritual power of the beast crystals, driven by the array within the forging furnace, autonomously merged into the liquefied black iron.
"Gurgle!"
The forging furnace emitted a sound like boiling water, as if it had entered the final step of the formation's operation.
Instantly, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the tower suddenly stagnated, and the surrounding rogue cultivators also sensed it immediately, all looking towards the direction where Qin Xin was.
Qin Xin knew things were going badly. He didn't know what kind of things this forging furnace could produce, and now that such a change had occurred, he had made up his mind.
Once the spiritual artifact was completed, he flew directly towards the center of the tomb. With the support of the Heavenly Phoenix Fire Wings, even a martial artist in the Solid Core Realm would have to wait until his Yuan Power was exhausted and his speed decreased before they could catch up with him.
Just as the fluctuation ended, a yellowish-brown object was ejected directly from the forging furnace.
Qin Xin immediately used his Yuan Power to envelop it, without touching it directly with his hands. After all, it was something that had just been refined and was extremely hot. He was worried that he would get burned if he touched it directly.
When Qin Xin examined the object closely, he immediately abandoned his plan to escape the tower.
Because this yellowish-brown object actually looks a lot like a small bell, and it doesn't have any spiritual energy fluctuations, so it's no different from the ones used in temples in the mortal world.
The tense atmosphere among the surrounding martial artists instantly dissipated upon seeing the small, earthen-yellow bell in Qin Xin's hand.
The thing in Qin Xin's hand, judging by its grade, probably doesn't even qualify as a first-grade spiritual weapon, and it doesn't look very good either; it would be a burden even as a decoration.
In the eyes of these rogue cultivators, Qin Xin was nothing more than an unlucky fellow, and the unluckiest of all.
In the past, after the entrance to the tomb of the Old Man of the Fire of the Si Fire opened, many independent cultivators and family forces would come here to try their luck if they had limited refining materials. However, if they used materials such as Xuan Iron, they could at least refine a third-grade spiritual weapon.
Clearly, Qin Xin's refining materials were essentially wasted.
Qin Xin examined the small, earthen-yellow bell in his hand. Sensing the hidden spiritual energy within, he calmly stored it in his spatial ring.
Qin Xin had no other refining materials left, so staying in the refining tower was a waste of time. He scanned the surrounding rogue cultivators who were refining spiritual weapons with his spiritual sense.
Upon discovering that the spiritual artifacts being forged in the furnaces in front of these rogue cultivators were mostly between fourth and fifth grade spiritual artifacts, Qin Xin found them to be of little interest.
So he strolled leisurely towards the outside of the weapon-refining tower, and none of the other rogue cultivators followed him after he left.
After all, an ordinary, plain yellow clock wouldn't catch their eye.
After leaving the weapon-refining tower for a while, Qin Xin used his spiritual sense to scan the surroundings and found no martial artist's aura. Only then did he feel relieved and take out the small, earthen-yellow bell.
"You're lucky, kid. You got a sixth-grade spiritual artifact so easily." Danqing's voice suddenly echoed in Qin Xin's mind. "Judging from the spiritual power of this earthen bell and the array inscribed on it, it should be considered a mid-to-upper-grade spiritual artifact."
"If it can be fully activated, it should be able to withstand the full force of a Core Formation Realm martial artist's attack."
After Danqing finished speaking about the small, earthen-yellow bell, he said with some regret, "It's such a pity. The spirit weapon array patterns forged in this weapon-refining tower are all similar. This small, earthen-yellow bell only has a defensive array. If an offensive array were added, its grade could be even higher."
After hearing Danqing's words, Qin Xin replied, "Why don't you try adding another formation to it, teacher?"
Before Qin Xin could finish speaking, Dan Qing launched into a tirade of criticism: "You're dreaming! Once a spiritual weapon is formed, adding an array to it is even more difficult than forging a celestial weapon."
"Forget it, you don't understand anything, you wouldn't get it even if I told you!"
As they were talking, Danqing was so angry that she was speechless for a moment. She simply ignored Qin Xin and returned to the fragmented map space, where she sat cross-legged under the big tree.
Slowly, he absorbed the energy emanating from the tree into his spirit body, gradually restoring the spiritual power he had previously consumed in refining the Dragon Soul Pill.
Qin Xin was used to seeing Danqing's old-man appearance.
After gently biting his fingertip, blood slowly dripped onto the small, earthen-yellow clock in his hand.
As the blood seeped in, a soul imprint quickly formed inside the earthen-yellow bell, and Qin Xin could sense its presence deep within his heart.
With a thought, the earthen-yellow bell instantly swirled with an earthen-yellow aura, and the array within it seemed to rapidly absorb the earth's energy.
As the bell continued to enlarge, Qin Xin truly witnessed the power of this small, earthen-yellow bell.
"Truly worthy of being a sixth-grade spiritual weapon!" Qin Xin exclaimed inwardly.
From now on, I'll call you Thick Earth Clock!
After Qin Xin named the earthen-yellow bell, he had another thought, and the bell slowly shrank, returning to its original, very ordinary appearance.
A slight smile appeared on Qin Xin's lips as he put the Earthen Bell into his spatial ring.
Fortunately, activating this thick earth bell does not require too much elemental energy, and it can also autonomously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the outside world. It is a very good choice for defense or for trapping opponents.
