Lin Jingge was unaware of the change in people's impressions of her; at this moment, she was simply focused on refining her art.
"Junior sister, what do you think?" Upstairs in the restaurant, the window of a private room faces Lin Jingge's direction. Anyone with good eyesight could see what was happening in Lin Jingge's room.
It attracted a large crowd and easily drew people's attention.
"The flames in her hands are indeed pure fire," the person addressed as junior sister said calmly.
Despite its calm tone, it inexplicably sent a chill down one's spine.
Hearing this, the man sitting opposite her was somewhat disappointed.
“I thought we had really encountered a strange fire. Junior sister, the coldness in your body is getting worse. We need to find a strange fire to suppress it as soon as possible.”
"Hmm," the woman responded faintly, without saying anything further.
"Strange fires are hard to find, but this essence fire seems much more useful than other flames. I just don't know if it will be of any use to my junior sister."
The woman casually replied, "It should work, right?"
"It's good that it works. I'll get it for you in a bit..."
Before the man could finish speaking, he saw the woman sitting opposite him staring at him intently, as if she had only just realized who he was today.
"W-what's wrong...?" The man was a little stunned, not understanding what his junior sister meant for a moment.
“Senior brother, essence fire can be extracted from ordinary flames, but the process is a bit complicated. It’s easier for fire-type spirit practitioners to extract it. Senior brother, you seem to be a fire-type spirit practitioner, right?” the woman said, staring at the man.
The man's face stiffened; he could hear the sarcasm in the other person's words.
"Senior brother, are you unwilling to put in even this little effort for me? I observe that the woman's essence fire is very weak; it must not be as useful as the essence fire extracted by a fire-type spiritualist like you, senior brother."
"Don't worry, junior sister, I will definitely refine the fire essence for you!" the man said decisively.
He rolled his eyes where the other person couldn't see, thinking to himself that this junior sister was really ungrateful. He was already being generous by helping her snatch it, wasn't he? And she wanted him to go to the trouble of refining essence fire for her?!
Below, Lin Jingge had already extracted the outermost layer of the ore.
The crowd gathered around to watch, mostly because they heard someone shouting about the strange fire.
A naturally occurring, extraordinary fire—that's a priceless treasure; who wouldn't be tempted by it?
However, once they realized it was just refined fire extracted from ordinary flames, everyone immediately gave up on their idea.
Anyone can extract essence fire, but the process is somewhat complicated, and its uses are not very significant, not even comparable to the natal flame of a fire-type spiritualist. Apart from a few alchemists and weapon refiners who would bother with this, very few people would be foolish enough to do such a thing.
Furthermore, the small blue flame in Lin Jin's singer's mouth looked far too weak, so those who still had designs on the flame immediately gave up their ideas.
They gathered as quickly as they gathered, and soon most of them were gone. Those who remained were mostly interested in Lin Jingge's repair of the magical artifact.
Lin Jingge dared to show her little blue flame in front of others precisely because she knew it wasn't a strange flame and it looked weak and delicate.
She remained completely calm and operated the machine with perfect composure.
Under the heat of the flames, the ore gradually revealed its true color.
Seeing that color, which was almost exactly the same as the bell, those who had just been questioning Lin Jinge and telling the street vendors bad things about her felt a burning pain on their faces.
He wasn't the only one who felt this way; quite a few people had just mentioned it.
Lin Jingge used her spiritual power to remove the impurities.
She used her spiritual power very sparingly, not giving the little blue flame a single bit more.
After the impurities were completely removed, the gold color was perfectly pure. It was the purest gold.
For the final forging, Lin Jingge still used spiritual power.
With everyone present as witnesses, Lin Jingge perfectly repaired the gap in the bell.
But that's nothing. The most important thing is yet to come: the purple patterns that determine the bell's attributes.
"I want to see how she's going to draw those array patterns," muttered the man next to the vendor.
The vendor was somewhat annoyed that the other person kept speaking ill of him. Although he was gentle by nature, he didn't really like being around such people. Today was the first time he had seen this side of the other person.
He subconsciously shrank back towards Lin Jingge, moving further away from the person.
Lin Jingge's eyes searched around for something of the same color. She had just searched her space but couldn't find any materials to draw array patterns.
"Hey Gege, the patterns on this bell look a bit strange," Xiao Shi reminded Lin Jingge. "Look closely, those patterns aren't drawn, they're engraved, but the engravings are very faint; you can't see them unless you look closely."
Xiao Shi was inside the space, staring at the outside world. When he saw that Lin Jingge was having some trouble, he suddenly spoke up.
After saying that, he passed a document to Lin Jingge.
I have to say that the encyclopedia, the heavenly book, and the complete book are really useful.
Lin Jingge then realized that array patterns could not only be drawn, but also be carved. This type required a high level of strength, and its use was not much different from that of directly drawing them.
Therefore, this option was directly abandoned, as there are very few array masters left in the Cloud Cauldron Continent.
Seeing that Lin Jingge hadn't made a move yet, everyone thought that Lin Jingge's repairs might stop here.
Even the bell's owner, the street vendor, thought so.
He was already very happy that the bell could perfectly repair the gap.
He held a mid-grade spirit stone in his hand and stepped forward to help Lin Jingge out of the predicament: "This is good enough. I didn't expect to be able to use it again in the future."
"There's one last step we haven't done yet." Lin Jingge shook her head, refusing the spirit stones offered by the other party, and said, "Give me some time, I can find a way."
Lin Jingge had a clue by now, but the reason she hadn't started yet was because she was worried that she wouldn't be able to do it all in one go.
After all, this was the first time doing something like this.
Seeing that she was determined, the vendor didn't say anything more, took the spirit stones, and sat back down.
"Someone offered to help you out of a difficult situation, and you refused. Do you really think you're a genius who can do everything?"
"The bell is too small and delicate. Even a level one array pattern would be difficult to draw. I think the array pattern looks like a defensive array pattern," a formation master commented from the crowd.
Some people are just talkative and prone to making a fuss, hoping things will get even worse.
You added your own embellishments, one after another.
Lin Jingge ignored these words and focused all her attention on thinking of a solution.
Instead of immediately working on the bell, she took a piece of golden ore that she had just removed the impurities from and practiced on it.
Since the ore could no longer be easily reshaped after cooling, Lin Jingge used the small blue flame to burn the golden ore again.
