Chapter 373 – The Last Master Craftsman

Oldman Huo’s furnace changed shape again, from the shape of the metal wire to two pincers. The pincer held the inner cylinder of the Eight Trigram Pill Furnace, and then a purple flame appeared on it. After a moment, the pincer turned red. A few minutes later, the innards of the Eight Trigram Pill Furnace also turned red. Then, the pincer once again deformed into two semicircles that were clasped together and violently pulled outwards … The insides of his body that had turned red were stretched out, and when he stopped, it was the same size as the insides of the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace.

Oldman Huo reached out his hand and changed the shape of his furnace into two gloves. He put on the glove and embedded the gallbladder into the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace, and the glove was surrounded by purple fire.

“Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace can already be considered a finished product with almost no flaws. The only thing that needs to be improved is the success rate of refining the medicinal pellets. After you add in the guts of this Eight Trigram Pill Furnace, your success rate in refining Purple-Rank pills will double in the future. ”

Oldman Huo continued to say as he worked, “Once your cultivation has reached the Higher Completion Stage, you can start to refine the real Purple-Rank and divine pellet. When you reach the Lower Celestial Stage, your success rate in refining the Purple-Rank and divine pellet would be far higher than any other master alchemist in the world. At the same level, no one haigher success rate than you! ”

As his voice fell, the inner bladder of the Eight Trigrams Assimilation Furnace was successfully embedded into the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace.

At this moment, the cry of a phoenix suddenly sounded out. It was so clear and resonant that it seemed to pierce through the heavens.

This was because it was inside the Heaven Defying Seal, otherwise, it would have caused the Sky Origin Stage to fluctuate. At that time, there would be true experts who would come searching for the Purple-Rank Divine Artifact’s Qi. An Zheng’s Purple-Rank Divine Artifact had already been exposed, if Xiao Liu’er’s Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace were to be exposed, it was possible that Liu-Li City would attract countless of people from the martial arts world.

“It’s not over yet.”

Oldman Huo took a deep breath, and then, he took the second layer of protection, extending both his hands forward, and his two fingers of gloves automatically flew out to restore the appearance of the furnace. The second layer of protection was actually absorbed by the furnace, causing it to turn completely purple.

About half an hour later, the second layer of protection could no longer be seen and had melted into molten metal. Oldman Huo pointed forward, and the furnace automatically flew over, slowly pouring the molten iron into the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace.

“Pour all the cracks into one body.”

Just as the Oldman Huo finished speaking, the image of a huge purple phoenix soared into the sky from the Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace. The illusion of the phoenix was surrounded by purple flames. The phoenix image circled around in the air for a bit, then rushed down from above, and rushed into Qu Liuxi’s body witu sound.

Soon after, Qu Liuxi moaned as her face flushed red.

“Godly equipment’s backlash!”

Oldman Huo’s eyes lit up, “Truly extraordinary!”

After a moment, an explosion occurred outside of Qu Liuxi’s body, and An Zheng immediately summoned his Holy Fish Scale to protect everyone. Under the might of the explosion, everyone was pushed backward. This explosion was extremely violent, but Qu Liuxi actually managed to break through after her divine tool fed back on him. And this explosion was so strong, it was obvious that it did not break through a small realm.

“Hu …”

Oldman Huo let out a long breath: “Take advantage of my excitement and fix your Depressing Sword too.”

He placed half of the Depressing Sword into the furnace and then placed the third layer of protection inside as well. He sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the furnace in his hands: “It will take a bit longer because the Depressing Sword is almost completely destroyed. Luckily there’s still an artifact spirit in the broken sword, otherwise, it would be extremely difficult for it to recover.”

Even though he said that, if he wasn’t a master artificer, then even if others had Stellar Cast Iron s and wanted to completely destroy them, it would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.

An Zheng stretched out his hand to grasp onto Qu Liuxi’s hand, calming Qu Liuxi’s expression down slightly.

This time, it lasted even longer. A whole day had passed, and Oldman Huo had been sitting there cross-legged the entire time, staring at the pill furnace without blinking. Nearly twenty-four hours later, Oldman Huo suddenly turned around and looked at An Zheng: “Sprinkling blood!”

An Zheng immediately understood what Oldman Huo meant. He flicked his index finger and walked to the side of the furnace, enduring the intense purple fire and dripped his blood into the furnace.

One drop, two drops, three drops …

“It’s not enough!”

Oldman Huo looked at An Zheng and shouted, Why are you so stingy!

An Zheng’s palm had a cut, and blood immediately flowed out. Blood flowed from his palm into the furnace, and metal clanging sounds could be heard from the furnace. Soon after, a sword intent soared into the sky!

Within the purple fire, longswords that were one meter long and one and a half inches wide slowly flew out from the furnace. It floated in the air, purple light swirling around it.

The word ‘An’ impressively appeared at the point where the sword hilt and blade were connected.

Oldman Huo said: “The Scarlet Training Sword you have obtained is too low in grade, it is simply not worthy of this sword. It was no longer a Depressing Sword. Where was the depressing aura coming from? This sword contains an absolute fighting spirit and an unyielding spirit. It’s best to change it to a new name. ”

An Zheng held onto the long sword, which was overflowing with light and color.

“Let’s call it the Broken Army.”

Ordinary longswords, blades and hilts were all assembled together. This [Broken Armor] sword was completely forged into a single entity. The Oldman Huo used his own furnace to melt half of the Depressing Sword, then the third layer of protection, and then forged the peerless treasured sword anew.

“Not at all.”

Oldman Huo looked extremely excited: “You have already given Xiao Qi Dao the Blue Lotus Dao Root, so this Heaven Defying Seal does not have much meaning to him. An Zheng, didn’t you waneleportation circle? I will use the Heaven Defying Seal as the foundation and add the remaining Stellar Cast Iron. Give me all of your Golden-Rank Spirit Stone, I want to inject energy and build a teleportation circle for you! ”

His words were full of pride!

Under the heavens, who would bring a transmission array with them?

“To cultivators with low levels of cultivation, the strength of Heaven Defying Seal s is equivalent to an unlimited increase in time. However, with the increase in his cultivation level, the increase in time he spent like this was also greatly reduced. Furthermore, cultivating within the Heaven Defying Seal was progressing too slowly. Originally, I created the Heaven Defying Seal to createfuge for my son. If he encounters any danger, he can survive after entering the Heaven Defying Seal. ”

“Now its mission is over. An Zheng, the Oldman Huo will build a large teleportation circle for you today. Wherever you are, this teleportation circle will be there. ”

He took out a compass filled with essence from the things he carried with him: “When I was young, I also had a dream of traveling the world. “Inside this compass is the map I carved for you when you were in Da Xi city, including the sixteen kingdoms and many small nations of the Western Regions. Once this compass is integrated with the Heaven Defying Seal, you will be able to reach the place you want to go when you activate the teleportation formation.”

After Oldman Huo said this, he coughed and spat out a mouthful of blood.

An Zheng immediately stepped forward: “Stop! Stop immediately! ”

Oldman Huo waved his hand: “An Zheng! Listen to me … I’m getting older and my body is getting weaker every day. I really want to follow you guys around the world, always relying on you. I’ll go wherever you go. Because you guys are the true motivation and hope for me to continue living. You are all my children, my sustenance. Don’t stop me, I did this teleportation circle not only for your sake, but also for my own. ”

“In the future, I really won’t be able to walk anymore. Relying on you all will only become a burden to you all. When you guys want to leave, use this teleportation circle to bring me along. ”

Oldman Huo raised his hand to wipe off the blood at the corner of his mouth, “This should be my last time forging an artifact. I no longer have the energy and my body can no longer hold on. In the future, I will stay in this Heaven Defying Seal and you can take me wherever you go. Don’t come over, I have already channeled all of my remaining energy into transforming the Heaven Defying Seal and even if you all were to come over, you guys wouldn’t be able to change anything.

“You are all good kids. To be able to meet you in your lifetime, this must be Heaven’s compensation for my lost son.” I used to think, why did I never do evil in my life, but the heavens took my children? Your arrival should be God’s compensation to me … Every day I live with you, it feels great. ”

“If I am still alive, I will watch you all from within the Heaven Defying Seal. Here is my blood, and I can see you outside. If you miss me, come in and stay with me. If I die, this place will be my grave... I’m relying on you guys, so even if I die, you guys have to bring me on a journey to the north. ”

Old Huo smiled, his wrinkled face was filled with happiness and satisfaction.

“Heaven Defying Seal was a Purple-Rank Magic Tool in the first place and was only at the first rank of Purple-Rank. Although Heaven Defying Seal spent thirty years of my life, there were still not enough materials at that time, so Heaven Defying Seal had many shortcomings. Now, I will borrow the remaining ingredients of the Eight Trigram Pill Furnace to raise the skin of the Heaven Defying Seal. ”

He waved his hand, “Xiao Liu’er, come over.”

Qu Liuxi immediately ran over, her eyes full of tears: “Elder, can we rest? If we don’t stop you, can we?”

“You can’t rest.”

The Old Huo said with a smile: “Now that I have exhausted all my energy, if I rest, I will never have the chance to transform the Heaven Defying Seal again.”

He took out the stove. “It is called the vulgar name, and I call it the disbelieving name. Back then, when I was in Da Xi, people said that I didn’t have the talent to create artifacts when I was young. Later on, people said that I couldn’t make Purple-Rank Divine Artifact. Now I’m giving you this furnace... You are the most obedient one. I know that you don’t have any interest in forging artifacts, but back then when I forced you to learn, you didn’t complain at all. Actually, I just want a successor … Initially, my plan was to merge my disbelieving thoughts into your Phoenix Cooking Pill Furnace and improve the quality of your Phoenix Melody. Now that An Zheng has found a higher quality Eight Trigram Pill Furnace, if you don’t believe me, I will leave it as a memorial for you. ”

After he finished speaking, he placed the Purple-Rank Artifact Furnace into Qu Liuxi’s hands. “There’s also the memories of my lifetime of an artifact, you can take them all with you.”

After he finished speaking, he turned around to look at the rest of the Stellar Cast Iron.

His two hands stretched out horizontally, and a purple light appeared on his two hands. That was the last bit of energy left to an Artifact Forging Master in his generation, yet it made An Zheng and the others feel as if their hearts were being cut by knives.

“All of you can leave.”

In a flash of light, An Zheng and the others were all kicked out of the Heaven Defying Seal.

Then, a ball of purple light sealed the Heaven Defying Seal, preventing anyone from entering.

An Zheng and the others knelt down outside, their eyes filled with tears.
