Top-level Qi Luck: Leading My Clan to Cultivate

Inside the Artifact Forging Room.

As time passed, the temperature in the room had reached its peak.

Two figures bustled about non-stop, their robes already soaked with sweat.

"Bang... bang..."

The sounds of hammering echoed throughout the room, Lin Tianming stripped to the waist, revealing explosive muscles, the sharp lines of his muscles indicative of formidable strength.

The pair hammered away at the fiery red Spirit Iron, their coordination almost telepathic.

It was only Second Order Spirit Ore, but the difficulty of extracting and shaping it was substantial, far different from that of First Order Artifact Refining materials.

After several days of intense refining, only a small portion of the dozens of Second Order Artifact Refining Materials had been processed, and completing them all would take no short amount of time.

At this point, both showed signs of fatigue.

Lin Shilu placed the shaped Spirit Iron on a stone platform nearby, then clapped his hands and said with a smile,

"Tianming, let's take a short break to recover our strength. Artifact Refining, like Alchemy, requires patience and gradual progress to craft divine weapons. We mustn't rush!"

"I shall heed Fifteenth Grandfather's teachings." Find adventures at empire

Lin Tianming replied and put down the heavy hammer from the thousand golds, sitting down on the ground with a thud and gasping for air.

Lin Shilu had long been astonished by Lin Tianming's physical stamina. With his own cultivation at the Fifth Level of Foundation Establishment, he too was exhausted after several days of work.

That Lin Tianming, who had broken through to the Foundation Establishment first level less than half a year ago, could keep up for so long was truly unexpected.

"This kid is truly a monstrous talent; his Cultivation Technique must be terrifying indeed!"

Lin Shilu guessed inwardly but, in perfect tacit understanding, kept silent about the topic of Cultivation Technique.

After resting for half an hour, both men had recuperated enough strength to begin refining anew.

Another half a month went by and the two had finally completed the refining process.

Looking at the various types of Spirit Ore that had been refined and beaten, now more translucent and significantly smaller in size, yet the energy and attributes within the ores made their edges even more fearsomely sharp.

Lin Shilu looked at their handiwork with satisfaction and was filled with a surge of lofty ambition and passion.

Since he had started learning Artifact Refining over seventy years ago, his natural talent for it could rank within the top three in the history of the Lin Family. Even though he had been a Second Order Refiner for over thirty years, this was the first time he had forged such a large number of Spirit Swords.

Furthermore, he had to create a Second Order Attack Talisman for Lin Tianming, presenting a monumental challenge.

It was because of this that his competitive spirit was ignited, causing his blood to run hot.

Sensing Lin Shilu's enthusiasm, Lin Tianming felt a stir of excitement in his heart and admired Lin Shilu even more.

Next, Lin Shilu, seizing the moment, decided to further fuse the refined Spirit Ores altogether.

This step was much more difficult than refining, depending not only on the experience of the Artifact Refiner but also on a stricter test of one's cultivation and spiritual essence.

Lin Shilu's expression was grave, not daring to be careless in the least.

He took out the Sword Embryo forged from Qingling Bamboo and placed it on the stone platform; then he carefully took out the refined Spirit Ore, meticulously hammering and merging them together.

At this stage, Lin Tianming did not lend a hand.

After all, he was not an Artifact Refiner, and although he possessed the miraculous Eye of Five Colors to aid him, this step tested the Refiner's experience.

He did not possess this prerequisite. Helping might have led to the opposite effect, potentially ruining all their previous efforts.

If they failed, not only would their hard work be in vain, but the precious Spirit Ore reduced to waste was enough to cause them immense distress.

Knowing this, he stood to the side and watched, not even daring to breathe too loudly, fearing that he might disturb Lin Shilu.

As time passed, thirty-four Spirit Swords were successfully fused and formed.

Because Lin Shilu had previously forged twenty Earth Evil Swords, although the number had increased this time, which elevated the difficulty of forging, he still persevered and completed the task.

Looking at the neat array of Spirit Sword embryos exuding a special aura, which indicated they were already taking shape, Lin Shilu nodded his head, appearing quite satisfied with his work.

At this moment, the Earth Evil Swords were more than half forged. All that was needed were some adjustments to the specific shapes of the Spirit Swords and then the engraving of the Inscription Array for the forging to be thoroughly completed.

After a short rest, Lin Shilu threw himself back into the bustling activity of Artifact Refining.

Following hundreds of hammering steps, a refined Spirit Sword came into being, leaving only the last step of Inscription Array engraving, with all preliminary processes finished.

Time slowly trickled by, and one Spirit Sword after another took shape.

A month had passed in this way.

In the Artifact Forging Room, fifty-four Spirit Swords hung neatly in the air. Every Spirit Sword was identical without any variation.

With so many Spirit Swords gathered together, all of them emanated strong fluctuations, stirring the air in the Artifact Forging Room, looking immensely powerful.

Lin Shilu stared at the fifty-four Spirit Swords before him, his face showing a satisfied smile.

In total, after fifty days of Refining, he had re-forged thirty-four Spirit Swords.

Moreover, the original twenty Spirit Swords he had made for Lin Tianming were also re-hammered by him, with a portion of rare materials added and the Inscription Arrays re-engraved.

The fifty-four Spirit Swords now made up a complete set of new Spiritual Instruments. Enhanced by his efforts, their power had increased significantly compared to the previous ones.

Although each individual Spirit Sword remained a First Order Top-Quality Spiritual Instrument, not breaking into the Second Order category, they had reached the limit of First Order Top-Quality Spiritual Instruments.

Looking at his masterpiece, Lin Shilu made a guess internally.

Fifty-four First Order Top-Quality Spiritual Instruments, forming a complete set, would undoubtedly exceed the power of a Lower Quality Second Order Magic Artifact, and could even be comparable to a Second Order Medium Quality Magic Artifact.

Regathering his consciousness, Lin Shilu waved his hand, and the fifty-four Spirit Swords flew in front of Lin Tianming.

"Take a look, are they satisfying?"

Lin Tianming grabbed a Spirit Sword and scrutinized it carefully.

Looking at the all too familiar Spirit Sword and feeling the intense fluctuations coming from it, he displayed an expression of not wanting to let it go.

While touching the blade, Tianming joyfully commented,

"Fifteenth Grandfather, you have labored hard. I am very satisfied with this set of Spirit Swords!"

"Good to hear you're satisfied!"

Hearing Lin Tianming's appraisal, Lin Shilu laughed heartily, the look of tiredness on his face disappearing significantly.

"After forging these Spirit Swords, my current condition isn't very good. The materials for a Second Order Attack Artifact have been prepared, but due to my state, I regretfully have to set it aside for now. I will forge it once I've recovered. When I've completed it, I'll send word to you!"

Hearing Lin Shilu's words, Lin Tianming sincerely replied,

"Fifteenth Grandfather, please focus on recovering first. There is no need to hurry for now!"

"I shall take my leave, Grandfather; you can summon me if there's anything!"

"Go on then!"

Lin Shilu nodded his head and walked out first, while Lin Tianming stored the fifty-four Spirit Swords into his storage bag and then left the Artifact Forging Room.

In the small courtyard, Lin Tianming bowed with his hands clasped together and left Lin Shilu's abode.
