Chapter 78: Even Heaven and Earth Can't Stand You Anymore

  In the Alchemy Room,

  Kong Fang threw a pile of materials on the ground, looking at the Ice Spirit Wood and Hundred Shattering Gold among other materials. A smile involuntarily appeared on Kong Fang's face, "These five materials are indeed difficult to refine for those with the Fire Attribute talent. The power of the Fire Attribute is violent and hard to control, making it naturally difficult to remove impurities from these five relatively special materials. However, for me who refines equipment using the Earth Attribute power from the earth, refining a weapon with these five materials is actually simpler than using some precious materials specifically used to refine lower-grade Heaven Spirit Treasures."

  Luo Qing and Su Yun thought they could stump Kong Fang with these materials, but it seems they miscalculated.

  Suddenly, Kong Fang shook his head and sighed, "If a few more people had come out to bet with me earlier, I might have been able to accumulate 4,000 or 5,000 contribution points at once. But I don't know what's gotten into these people, they've all become more cautious than one another." Kong Fang was somewhat regretful.

  Kong Fang had no idea that his earlier appearance of a winning gambler had scared off several people who were originally going to bet against him. The other inner disciples weren't stupid either, seeing Kong Fang's confident expression, who would still be willing to take out their precious items and contribution points to give them to him for nothing?

  Kong Fang crouched down, arranged the five materials in place, and then pressed his hands on the cold stone floor.

  Kong Fang suddenly felt a clear sense of the earth's power in the soil, and the range he sensed was much greater than before.

  The controllable power of the earth element has increased, and its might is naturally stronger. This means that Kong Fang's refining equipment level has made great progress. At least in the two steps of removing impurities and manufacturing equipment blanks, Kong Fang's ability has improved a lot.

  In the past, all materials had to be buried in the ground to use the power of the earth to remove impurities and create a crucible, but now it is only necessary to place the materials on the ground. As long as these materials are in contact with the ground, the first two steps of refining can be completed. In this way, the restriction of the earth's power on Kong Fang has also been greatly reduced. At least when Kong Fang goes out to refine his equipment, he no longer needs to think about how to destroy someone else's refining room or use the excuse that he needs a quiet room to adjust his state.

  Thick and powerful earth element force circulated among the blocks of materials, removing all unnecessary substances and impurities. After removing the impurities from all five materials, Kong Fang continued to manipulate the earth element force, slowly decomposing the materials into various colored mists that appeared before him. These mists were composed of the smallest particles from the five materials.

  The power of the earth under Kong Fang's control was like a porter, reorganizing these tiny particles and then fusing them together. Slowly, a curved knife with a slight arc appeared in front of Kong Fang. The blade was perfect, reflecting a faint light, beautiful and magnificent. On the handle, there were some slightly raised cloud patterns that could increase the gripping force.

  A knife-type weapon embryo was born in Kong Fang's hands, and the time spent from start to finish was less than half an hour. For refining equipment, half an hour is neither long nor short, it just depends on what level and grade of weapon is being refined.

  If the refined weapon is of the acquired spiritual treasure level, half an hour can be said to be very short, let alone Kong Fang spent less than half an hour.

  Just as Kong Fang was about to use his divine soul's power to control the true fire ring and refine the curved knife, Kong Fang's expression suddenly froze for a moment.

  Looking at the almost perfect curved knife in his hand, Kong Fang's mouth suddenly revealed a hint of a smile.

  "I now have a better grasp of the Earth Element's power, and the material used for this curved knife isn't too difficult to refine. If I use the Earth Fire to temper the curved knife, it will definitely result in a Golden Body through Fire Refining." At this moment, Kong Fang suddenly recalled the scene when he first entered the Alchemy Room to refine equipment.

  At that time, he who knew nothing about it ran to refine the device, but unexpectedly, the fire-refining golden body appeared, causing the ground fire in more than a dozen refining rooms around him to become violent and unstable. Many people's weapons being refined were damaged due to the sudden violence of the ground fire.

  "Lu Qing, Su Yun, you think I'm a stepping stone for you, be careful not to break your own feet." Kong Fang chuckled and stopped urging the True Fire Ring.

  Kong Fang directly arrived at the central control of the earth fire array in the alchemy room, and opened the array with ease. The earth fire suddenly burst out with a "sizzling" sound. The earth fire churned and rolled, and the scorching air rushed towards him, but was blocked by the power of the array halfway. Kong Fang could only feel some heat, and would not be injured by the earth fire.

  It's just that there is no formation, and with Kong Fang's current powerful body, as long as he is not directly burned by the earth fire, the heat emitted alone cannot hurt him.

  Kong Fang threw his short sword into the earth fire...

  In a refining room opposite where Kong Fang is located, on the right side.

  Su Youzheng carefully manipulated the fire, refining a piece of Ice Spirit Wood to remove impurities. In a corner of the refining room, Fang Tou stared at Su Youzheng's every move with unblinking eyes, but not because he wanted to learn from Su Youzheng's refining techniques - with his level of skill, even if he wanted to steal the technique, he wouldn't be able to do it.

  Fang Tou was resolutely fulfilling Kong Fang's orders, which was to supervise Su Yun in refining equipment. Fang Tou's eyes were firm and calm, not giving Su Yun any chance to make small moves.

  There was another person beside Fang Tou, and this person was none other than Luo Qing.

  Looking at Su Yun, who was being extremely cautious, Luo Qing's eyes were very calm. In these three days, they had used these five materials to forge a lot of weapons, and every step and detail had been memorized long ago, so it was impossible for anything to go wrong.

  In order to surpass Kong Fang, suppress Sun Hao, Luo Qing and Su Yun spent three days that can be said to have cost a lot of blood, just the contribution points for exchanging materials were not small.

  The earth fire under Su Yun's control seemed very gentle, refining the impurities in the Ice Spirit Wood bit by bit. As time passed minute by minute, the impurities in the Ice Spirit Wood became fewer and fewer, and it would soon be possible to complete this step of removing impurities.

  At this time, Su Yun slightly relaxed a bit, and even Luo Qing's heart, which seemed confident and calm, couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. As long as this piece of Ice Spirit Wood completes the removal of impurities, they can proceed to create the mold next.

  Just then, a sudden change occurred. The earth fire that had been under Su Yun's control and seemed very docile suddenly became violent. The earth fire surged up several feet before being suppressed by the formation. The flames raged and rolled, and the scorching air caused the temperature in the entire refining room to rise by over ten degrees in an instant.

  The violently erupting earth fire directly engulfed the ice spirit wood, and in the blink of an eye, the ice spirit wood disappeared without a trace, being directly incinerated into flying ash.

  This is why Ice Spirit Wood and the other four materials are so difficult to refine, and why they require a strong grasp of fire control. Because once you make a mistake, it's not just a matter of the weapon's quality being lowered, but rather direct failure, because even the materials themselves can't be preserved.

  "How could this be?" Su Yun was stunned, staring blankly at the wildly burning flames.

  Just as she was about to succeed, the earth fire suddenly became uncontrollable and erupted violently, completely destroying the ice spirit wood.

  Lu Qing suddenly appeared beside Su Yun, looking at the violently burning earth fire with a very ugly expression.

  "How abominable, we actually encountered a geomagnetic storm! Our luck is really bad enough." Luo Qing gritted his teeth and said resentfully. For the past two days, they had been practicing hard with all their might, just to defeat Kong Fang, but who would have thought that during the trial, they would encounter a geomagnetic storm.

  "Now there's only one last piece of Ice Spirit Wood left." Su Yun looked at the last piece of material on the ground, and her heart couldn't help but become slightly tense. If this last piece of material was also destroyed by the earth fire, then she would lose this equipment trial to Kong Fang.

  "Sister, our efforts won't be in vain. You will definitely surpass Kong Fang's. Believe in us for these few days..." Luo Qing originally wanted to say the hard training of these few days, but thinking of the square-headed person still in the refining room, she hastily shut her mouth.

  "En." Su Yun nodded, but still felt a bit apprehensive in her heart.

  "Even the volcanic eruptions that are almost impossible to happen have occurred, it seems that even heaven and earth can't stand you guys anymore." Fang Tou said with a smile, his mood obviously extremely good.
