The Eternal World

The crystal refinement technique was said to be even more ancient.

However, it was a flash in the pan.

The reason was because it was too difficult to control.

The power within the crystal came from nature and was the purest. However, because of this, it was much harder to control.

Many people were unable to control this power. When they used it to forge weapons, they would destroy the materials as well, and the gains wouldn't make up for the losses.

But Zhang Chao was different.

Previously, he didn't even dare to try the Crystal Refinement Method. However, after he learned the Perception Technique and used his soul consciousness, he realized that this technique couldn't be better than using it to practice the Crystal Refinement Technique.

Because of his spiritual will, he could always control every bit of energy within the crystal. This was something that ordinary cultivators were unable to do.

As for the crystals used …

What a joke, would the Forge Master be short of money?

And out of the two furnaces at the side, the materials needed to be tempered were ordinary ones. Only the furnace with the Crystal Refinement Method was the most core material needed to refine a separation of fire and gold, and of all the materials, it was the most expensive!

As for everyone present, forget about seeing it, they had never even heard of the Crystal Refining Method before. All of them stared with wide eyes, trying their best to understand Zhang Chao's method.

Especially those deacons, they were all a group of Five Cauldrons Forger s with deep strengths, but ever since they started learning blacksmithing, they had not heard of anyone not igniting the fire and using the crystals instead!

Isn't this a bit too much?

Furthermore, they had only read about the Cold Refinement Method in ancient books, so there was nothing that was a step deeper.

However, with Zhang Chao's mental state as one, he could make up for his deficiencies in his cultivation realm by using the Crystal Refinement Method.

Time flowed on.

Zhang Chao took the three crafting furnace into consideration at the same time, but he still exhausted all of his energy.

Forty hours later, with a muffled bang, all of the materials in the furnace were completely refined and taken out by him with the power of his spiritual will.

With a wave of his hand, he took out the Nine-striped Heavenly Hammer and started to hammer the ingredients again.

The whole process was extremely complicated, but everyone kept their eyes glued to him, afraid that they would miss a single detail.

After the first round of hammering was over, Zhang Chao did not touch the other two stoves anymore. Instead, he formed the elementary form of the treasure that he hammered and threw it into the furnace in the middle again.

As long as he could create this magical equipment, no matter how much it cost, he would be willing to spend it.

This was also due to him being a Forge Master!

"I'm getting more and more confused now!"

"What kind of technique did this kid use?"

"Who's his master? I have been refining for more than seventy years, but I have never seen such a strange method! "

"Don't say it, relying on his cultivation at the peak of the Natal Opening Realm, he might actually be able to refine this magical equipment that is known as the biggest headache for Tri-Cauldron Forger!"

… ….

After going through nine rounds of hammering and tempering, Zhang Chao once again carefully drew the lines within, and as if he was in a furnace, he began his final form.

In this period of time, he had lost more than a hundred fist-sized crystals.

When the time he used up reached thirty hours, Zhang Chao suddenly roared loudly, raised his hand and slapped on the crafting furnace's lid.

The lid actually shattered with a loud bang, and a red light burst out from within, shooting straight towards the ceiling!

"What's going on? Why would such a scene occur? " Everyone was shocked.

Even when they were refining high-grade earth-grade magic treasures, they had never experienced such a situation!

But right after, the entire large building of the Guoyin Association suddenly shook, and the sound of muffled thunder could be heard in the sky outside!

"Lightning Strike!" All the deacons abruptly stood up, their expressions frozen as they looked towards the ceiling.

"It's said that only the birth of a top-grade magic treasure will cause lightning strikes. This also shows that this magic treasure is too heaven-defying and caused a protest by the laws of the world!"

"Could it be that, this Zhang Chao was actually able to refine a treasure of such a grade?"

However, after the thunder rumbled for a moment, it actually dissipated.

The red light was not from the crafting furnace in front of Zhang Chao.

Zhang Chao held it up with one hand and a fist-sized object, that was completely red and transparent, as if it was made out of red agate, slowly rose up.

It looked very special, like a bowl upside down with a fingernail-like big handle at the top.

On the surface of the bowl, there were even golden patterns that were as thin as spider silk.

separation of fire and gold!

"Quick, make sure of the grade of this magical item!" A deacon quickly shouted.

black-faced middle-aged man's face was filled with shock as he ran over. He carefully examined the treasure for a long time, then raised his head and reported, "Honored deacons, the rank of this treasure has reached upper rank Earth Realm!"

"Is it just a low-rank high-rank item?" The group was puzzled.

"I remember now, this separation of fire and gold is a medium-grade Earth Ranked treasure, no matter how powerful the master is at refining it, it cannot escape from the frame, and this Zhang Chao is actually able to forcefully refine a medium-grade Earth Ranked treasure into high-grade Earth Ranked treasure, just by this point alone, it is enough to defy the heavens!" One of the deacons slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "I believe that the thunder from earlier must have sensed this and wanted to punish him with thunder!"

"However, I discovered that this thing was only an Earth Realm master. After a few muffled sounds of warning, it disappeared!"

"Yes, that must be it!" The others all agreed with him.

"But no matter what, this child is truly a man of heaven!"

"Both the level of my understanding of the materials and the method of refining them can be considered to be the pinnacle of all! No wonder the ancestor could open his eyes and reveal his powers, even saying that this child has only appeared once every ten thousand years is not an exaggeration! "

"My fellow colleagues, what do you think?" A middle-aged deacon asked.

"We all agree that this child is worth nurturing!" Everyone said in unison.

"Alright!" The deacon cleared his throat, and then announced loudly: "Forge Master Zhang Chao, because you have perfectly passed the examination, has now been promoted to Tri-Cauldron Forger, and because your aptitude is outstanding, you are authorized to be a seeded Forge Master!"

"Eh? What is the Seed Forge Master? " Zhang Chao asked in confusion.

"Zhang Chao, why haven't you thanked the deacons yet?" black-faced middle-aged man and the previous caretaker man hurriedly said.

"Oh, junior Zhang Chao, thanks the deacons!" Zhang Chao saluted upwards, and casually swept his eyes over the nearby Old Man surnamed Zuo.

At this time, Old Man surnamed Zuo was so shocked that his body had collapsed on the ground, his mouth was wide open, and even an egg could be put inside.

It was only now that he completely understood that he had underestimated Zhang Chao, and had even foolishly wanted to extort someone to buy a cauldron of Forge Master s from them.

In succession, more than ten figures jumped down from the window and stood in front of Zhang Chao.

These people were the foremen who had been watching Zhang Chao refining.

The oldest seemed to be over a hundred years old, and the youngest seemed to be around forty or fifty years old.

"Zhang Chao, the identity of this kind of child Forge Master is no small matter. That is a rule set by the ancestor, anyone with extraordinary potential can become this kind of child Forge Master!" A deacon explained, "However, in the last thousand years, there have only been three people that have managed to become a Seed Forge Master!"

"You must treasure this identity!"

"Em, may I ask, what is the use of this identity?" Zhang Chao scratched his head.

"Of course. First of all, you should not reveal your identity. This is for your safety's sake!" The deacon nodded his head: "With this status, if one day you are able to reach Five Cauldrons Forger, then you will have the qualifications to enter the Ancestral Pavilion, obtain the good fortune left behind by the Ancestral Master, and also have the chance to break through five cauldrons, become six cauldrons, or even higher than that!"

"However, titles are just fakes. The most important thing is that you can go further on the road to Forge Master. At that time, forget about Heaven Ranked treasures, even if it's higher, you can still refine them!"

"It sounds pretty good!" Zhang Chao's eyes lit up: There's more above Heaven-grade Dharma treasure s? What would that be? "

"Hehe, I'm ashamed, but we don't know either. But the Refining Faction is in the same direction as cultivation. Some people like to walk the same path, but no matter what, there is no end in sight!" The deacon smiled awkwardly, "The only thing we can do is to constantly become stronger, constantly surpassing ourselves!"

"Mm, I agree with what you said!" Zhang Chao nodded. In his heart, he was starting to have a little bit of anticipation for the Ancestral Pavilion or whatever.

"This separation of fire and gold will stay here for the other Forge Master to study, and this item represents your identity as a Seed Forge Master. You must keep it well, and in the future, it will be the key to enter the Ancestral Pavilion!" The deacon said, as he took out a round chess piece that was the size of an eyeball and handed it over to Zhang Chao.

The chess piece was cold to the touch, giving a refreshing feeling. Black and white intertwined all over its body, as if water was flowing inside it. However, no matter how one looked at it, the black and white inside would not overlap.

"This item has another function, when you encounter a problem, infuse your spirit energy into it. All of the ding class Forge Master within a radius of five kilometers will sense something and quickly come to help you!" Another old deacon said: "However, this old one advises you, if you don't want to use it, then don't. Forge Master is divided into good and bad, our Guoyin Association is not responsible for distinguishing between good and evil Forge Master, if there is anyone who is greedy for this thing, it might very well harm you!"

"Junior will remember this!" Zhang Chao hurriedly put away the chess pieces, cupped his hands, and bowed deeply towards everyone once again.

After that, the foremen also came forward one after another, wanting to know what Zhang Chao's method of refining was.

Zhang Chao did not hide anything, but after everyone heard this, they all shook their heads.

It was impossible for them to control the power of the crystal stones.

Just at this moment, the Old Man surnamed Zuo who had been waiting at the side, suddenly had a flash of determination in his eyes. He directly stood up and walked towards Zhang Chao …
