Chapter 87: Accidentally Exceeded the Limit

  In the underground alchemy room of Muxingzong

  Kong Fang occupied a large refining room alone, where he sat cross-legged in stillness, cultivating his skills.

  In the smaller smelting rooms underground, Wang Yun and the other twelve people dispersed, each occupying a small smelting room, carefully taking the first step in smelting - removing impurities.

  The earth fire was released from the true fire rings on their wrists, forming a small sea of fire in front of them. As a piece of material rolled and deformed in the sea of fire, its impurities were slowly refined away.

  Wang Wei was indeed a person with extremely fast equipment refinement speed, while others were still removing impurities from their second piece of material, he had already processed his third.

  He wiped the sweat from his forehead after absorbing the true fire ring's earth fire. Although he only did this one step of removing impurities, it was more strenuous than refining a complete low-grade heavenly spirit treasure. This was because how well or poorly he did this step would directly affect whether Kong Fang could successfully create a golden body during the firing process.

  Although Wang Yun and others believed that it was difficult for Kong Fang to produce a fire-refined golden body when making the vessel, after all, in order to produce a fire-refined golden body, both the removal of impurities and the manufacture of the vessel must be done to near perfection. It is somewhat fanciful to think that one can produce a fire-refined golden body simply by manufacturing the vessel. Although everyone thought so in their hearts, each person was still very careful and cautious when removing impurities, wanting to do their best.

  They did this not for the sake of Kong Fang, but for the sake of their own reputation and that of the kiln. If due to their mistake, the impurities in the material were not removed cleanly, resulting in no golden glaze appearing when Kong Fang fired the piece, it would be a loss of face for the kiln, and they would also lose face, not just Kong Fang alone.

  Wang Wei opened the door of the refining room and handed over three pieces of processed materials to a wooden sect disciple outside. The wooden sect disciple took the three pieces of material and immediately ran to the refining room outside Kong Fang's, knocked on the door, then put the refining material on the ground, and quickly left afterwards.

  Kong Fang opened the stone gate and took the three pieces of refining material inside. After closing the stone gate, Kong Fang threw the three materials on the ground.

  "Even if the manufacturing process is done perfectly, it's impossible to achieve a Golden Body through just that, but I never thought of relying solely on manufacturing to reach my goal anyway." A faint smile appeared on Kong Fang's face.

  Kong Fang took charge of making the material into a blank because he actually wanted to do both steps of removing impurities and making the blank. However, since he didn't know Master Qingmu's true intentions, Kong Fang didn't want to draw too much attention to himself, so he only asked to make the blank.

  No matter how well this step is done, it won't surprise others too much. After all, there are still many people who excel in one aspect, such as some people who are good at activating arrays and some people who are very familiar with the properties of various substances and are good at removing impurities.

  Kong Fang crouched down, his hands pressed against the ground, and the earth's power in the surrounding land was instantly mobilized.

  "Hmm, I wonder who processed these three materials, the impurities have almost been completely removed." Kong Fang exclaimed in surprise, then laughed and said, "This saves me a lot of trouble."

  After quickly processing the three materials, Kong Fang took out a jade slip from his storage ring and began to check what requirements Muxing Sect had for this refining of treasures.

  When he saw the peculiar shapes of the treasures in the Jade Annals and some detailed requirements, Kong Fang's mind was suddenly filled with doubts.

  "What is Mu Xing Zong trying to refine this time? Why are the shapes of these treasures so strange?" Kong Fang frowned secretly.

  The shapes of the treasures recorded in the Jade Annals are varied, some are long and short strips, some are mostly cylindrical, but turn into hooks at the end, while others are simply square like a tabletop.

  Apart from these peculiar shapes of treasures, the Jade Annals also recorded some even stranger shapes of treasures. Moreover, there were very strict requirements for certain details of these treasures, such as length and thickness, which varied greatly.

  "Mukhyo's sect isn't about refining weapons and armor, it seems they're making other treasures." Kong Fang slightly shook his head, this kind of thing was actually quite common, he had just remembered Sun Hao telling him before.

  However, Kong Fang rarely went out on missions, so this was his first time seeing such a situation.

  Then, the others also processed a batch of materials and handed over the processed materials to the wooden line disciples in the corridor, letting them quickly send them outside Kong Fang's refining equipment room. Knowing that Kong Fang was making equipment inside, these wooden line disciples did not dare to knock on the door to disturb Kong Fang, and they put down the materials and immediately returned to the original refining equipment room.

  Before long, many materials were placed outside Kung's gate.

  When the disciples of Xingyun came to deliver materials again, they found that all the materials outside the door of Kong Fang's refining room had disappeared. More than a dozen disciples of Xingyun didn't take it seriously. However, when these people ran to deliver materials for the third time, they found that the materials they delivered for the second time had also disappeared.

  Everyone was shocked and looked at each other, secretly amazed by Kong Fang's refining speed. After all, the materials they brought were obtained from twelve people, while Kong Fang had only one person, but his refining speed could keep up with others, which was a bit terrifying.

  "This person's equipment refinement speed is so fast, isn't it one of those legendary equipment demons from the Equipment Sect?" A wooden sect disciple exclaimed in surprise.

  "It's highly likely, after all the other twelve people in the Ziqiong are probably inner disciples of the sect, and it's said that they've been inner disciples for a long time, otherwise they wouldn't have passed the previous screening. This person alone can surpass the twelve, only those who specialize in cultivating equipment can achieve this. I think, this person is definitely an extraordinary figure among the equipment demons."

  At this moment, the stone gate suddenly opened, and more than a dozen disciples of the Wooden Path Sect were shocked.

  "You've brought materials again, it seems they're quite fast. Hand over the materials."

  The twelve Wood-style sect disciples were all dazed and stiff, handing over the materials in their hands to Kong Fang. It wasn't until Kong Fang entered the refining room and closed the stone door that the twelve of them finally came back to their senses.

  "I didn't expect this demon king to be so young."

  "Yes, it's said that becoming an inner disciple requires at least over ten years of cultivation, but this person looks like a newcomer who has just become an inner disciple, and is also too young."

  "You guys don't understand, the truly formidable people in the world of artifact refinement all have incredible innate talents. Although they're infatuated with refining artifacts, their actual strength won't increase too slowly either. This artifact refiner might just be that kind of person."

  "No wonder one person can take on twelve people, the legendary equipment is indeed not in vain."

  "Alright, let's hurry back." The twelve people looked at Kong Fang's alchemy room with admiration and then quickly left.

  Kong Fang was unaware that he was mistaken for a tool spirit by these wooden sect disciples while removing impurities from each piece of material.

  The materials delivered had already been refined by others to remove some impurities, so Kong Fang's reprocessing was much faster. What really took up Kong Fang's time was still making the equipment blanks, but using the power of the earth element to make equipment blanks was much faster than using the power of the fire element.

  However, in order not to shock the world, Kong Fang deliberately did not remove all impurities when removing impurities, just so that not all treasures would appear with a golden body during the refining process using earth fire.

  Otherwise, Lezi will be in big trouble.

  Before long, Kong Fang had more than a dozen strange and peculiar instruments around him.

  "It's time to temper now." Kong Fang urged on the True Fire Ring, and the earth fire suddenly surged out.

  Kong Fang uses earth fire to refine each piece of equipment, and then quenches them one by one. By the time he finishes all this, more than an hour has passed.

  Although Kong Fang intentionally made some mistakes when removing impurities, four of the treasures still appeared with a golden body after being refined in the earth fire. In total, there were over ten treasures, and four of them had a golden body, which was almost a 20% success rate. Kong Fang could only bitterly smile and shake his head, having no other choice. Now, he couldn't destroy these treasures, and even if he did, he didn't have the materials to refine new ones.

  "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have processed the materials sent by others. Using the materials sent by others to directly manufacture the prototype would have been enough." Kong Fang was filled with helplessness and could only bitterly smile as he put all the materials into his storage ring.

  The next awakening has nothing to do with Kong Fang, his task is already completed. Now he only needs to hand over the dozens of treasures refined to Qingmu Elder and let Qingmu Elder inspect them.
