One strike after another was thrown out, only stopping Yi Yan only when he was several hundred meters deep into the mountain wall.
Turning his head to take a look at the place that was blocked by broken stone, Yi Yan felt quite satisfied with this cave that had a circumference of thirty meters.
Even though this was an extremely difficult situation for mortals to reach, and even though it was a few hundred meters deep, out of caution, Yi Yan still set up a dozen or so defensive and isolation arrays around him before sitting cross-legged in the center of the cave.
If it was Yi Yan from his previous life, he would naturally choose to use his flying sword without hesitation. Flying swords were the most common magical equipment used by cultivators, and most of the attacking techniques taught to them by Master Hao Cheng and the others, as well as the attacking techniques Yi Yan learned from the Spatial Channel, used flying swords.
However, in this life, compared to his previous life, Yi Yan's condition had undergone an earth-shattering change. He was unable to become a cultivator in the traditional sense like his previous life, and the question of what kind of treasure he should choose to fully display all of his strength was a question that required serious consideration.
After comparing the various treasures commonly seen in Cultivation Realm, Yi Yan decided to refine a Tang Dao his own after careful consideration.
There were two reasons for this: Firstly, the basic < Seven Deadly Arts > technique that he had studied for close combat was a saber art. Secondly, Tang Dao's appearance was somewhere between a blade and a sword, so he could use it to his advantage.
Choosing Tang Dao not only made use of the convenience from his previous life, but also combined with the characteristics of this life. It was the best choice.
Since he had already decided, Yi Yan did not waste any more time. He immediately took out a variety of Refining Material s and prepared to refine.
However, it had been a long time since he had refined a complete magical equipment from the beginning to the end. He was no longer familiar with refining techniques, and the energy within his body had greatly changed compared to that of the True Fire in his previous life.
Therefore, he needed to practice a bit before officially starting to get used to the environment as soon as possible.
Yi Yan took out the flame at the eye of the fish with the Grand Moon power in his dantian. Seeing the golden flame, which was much larger and darker than when it first appeared, compared to the temperature when he had reached the stage of stage in his previous life, Yi Yan was deeply satisfied.
With the increase in temperature, coupled with his own refining techniques, he would definitely be able to create the weapon he wanted. For upper tiered Spiritual Artifact, Yi Yan did not want to, he would only be able to barely make it in the late stage of Soul Division in his previous life, but was confident that he would be able to make it with lower or middle tier Spiritual Artifact.
Carefully controlling the flame, Yi Yan slowly calmed it down. He put the materials into the flame in a sequence, this time he was preparing to refine the most common flying sword in Cultivation Realm.
Furthermore, in order to quickly familiarize himself with the new energy, Yi Yan had only used a few low-ranked and middle-ranked Refining Material. Thus, in less than an hour, these ingredients had already completely melted into a ball of liquid.
After that, Yi Yan did not immediately continue. Instead, he carefully controlled every part of the burning liquid, trying his best to make them evenly and reach the same temperature.
This was a secret technique taught to him by Daoist Master Hao Cheng in his previous life. The degree to which impurities would be removed by materials with different temperatures was also different. It would deform during final quenching and cooling.
The slightest mistake would cause the quality of the refined magical equipment to be affected.
< p > Therefore, only when the temperature of each part of the ingredients are exactly the same will they be able to bring out the best of the Refining Material's abilities and achieve the best results.
Unfortunately, the vast majority of cultivators didn't notice this point. After the materials melted, they began to remove the impurities, resulting in the final refining of magical equipment to have all kinds of minute flaws.
After approximately half an incense's time, under Yi Yan's powerful Spiritual Sense, the temperature of this lump of material finally reached its optimal state. Only then did Yi Yan control his True Essence and begin the next step.
After removing the impurities, controlling the formation of the materials, and drawing the array, there was only one final procedure left, which was quenching.
Ordinary cultivators would need to use the Cold-attribute First Sky of Water when quenching. However, the current Yi Yan naturally did not need to go through so much trouble, as the silver flame at the Yang Fish Eyeball was the ready-made hardening agent.
Moreover, the cold energy of the silver flame and the temperature of the golden flame were at the same level, and were one and the same. The quenching effect was incomparable.
While lamenting about the superior conditions of the [Seal of Life And Death] in refining, Yi Yan withdrew the golden flames, and instead released silver flames as he began to temper them.
Carefully controlling the silver flames to quickly wrap the magical equipment that was already refined into a shape, Yi Yan heaved a sigh of relief.
After the successful completion of the tempering process, Yi Yan carefully withdrew the silver flames and ended the refining process.
Looking at the medium grade treasure flying sword in his hand, Yi Yan nodded in satisfaction.
After carefully reflecting on his gains and shortcomings in the refining process, Yi Yan once again released his golden flames and began to refine his next treasure.
Half a year later, looking at the several tens of treasures placed in front of him, Yi Yan finally felt that the state and feel of his artifact forging had basically recovered.
In his previous life, his Spirit Separating Stage was only this much, since he was able to refine artifacts of the highest quality using low-grade and intermediate-grade materials.
