Chapter 737: Enemy Attack!
with pride.So this is what it feels like to be considered a genius.She glanced at Fang Chen with a triumphant air, hoping to see surprise or remorse in his eyes.But what angered her was that Fang Che...Qi Jie smiled and said, "Although foreign races have blockaded the human realm, there are still many races friendly with humans. Getting some materials from them is not difficult."
Just for these materials, I have spent three hundred years of my life and squandered much of my family fortune.
At this, he let out a helpless sigh.
Upon hearing this, the crowd suddenly understood. Thus, they no longer had any doubts.
Only Fang Chen and Xiao Qing'er remained composed, unconvinced by Qi Jie's words.
And besides them, Xiang Xiu also frowned slightly, but said nothing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Alright everyone, let's get started as soon as possible. Delays can lead to trouble," Qi Jie said.
Everyone agreed and began to refine the artifact.
To forge this treasure, the Heavenly East Mountain must serve as the furnace.
The natural tripod embryo needs to be tempered 32 times. The first tempering requires 3,912 hammer blows, and the second time is doubled, and so on.
Every refinement and forging will exponentially increase the difficulty. The slightest mistake could lead to failure.
And once it fails, this massive natural cauldron embryo will be completely scrapped.
Therefore, the six alchemists in charge of repairing the artifact must not have any accidents, otherwise, the repair will be a failure.
As Xiao Qing'er, the alchemist, her most important task was refining.
Her mission is equally important, and each refinement requires extreme precision.
If the refinement becomes more perfect, then forging will become much easier for those who cultivate.
As for talisman masters, they would inscribe special talismans onto the cauldron lid, similar to enchanting.
On the contrary, Fang Chen, as a curse-breaker, found it the easiest. As long as he prevented those cursed energies from entering the cauldron and causing destruction, he would succeed.
In fact, everyone's task is very heavy. It all comes down to who can achieve perfection in the end.
This casting process was bound to be dangerous, long, and tedious.
Wow!
Wow!
Dang!
Time flies, and a day of casting passes by in the blink of an eye.
Now they have already arrived at the fifteenth tempering.
Although Xiang Xiu has snow-white hair, his strength is no weaker than any other blacksmith!
And every one of his strikes was incredibly perfect, with almost no flaws at all.
Even every hammer blow was accompanied by a wisp of cloud, it could be said to be flawless.
In his demonstration, the other alchemists were already sweating profusely, Alexander.
Fortunately, they were all veteran alchemists. Although they weren't as famous as the master cultivators, they were still quite well-known, so no one made any major mistakes.
Casting is also progressing as scheduled.
Boom!
Fang Chen was also unclear about the situation, after the seventh refining, the curse began to take effect.
At the beginning, they were merely the weakest of races' powers, which he could obliterate with a casual wave of his hand.
Even now, he had to draw upon a divine war blade to cut down the power of these curses.
Not only is it a curse, but even evil spirits or sinister energies are attracted to it.
Fang Chen also killed all of these things, leaving none behind.
But he was more and more certain that what Qi Jie had concocted was not a good thing.
Then the sixteenth refinement began.
At this moment, Xiaoqing was drenched in sweat, her whole body soaked. This highlighted her slightly curvaceous figure.
Of course, this did not attract much attention.
It's not that Xiaoqing isn't pretty, it's just that everyone is focused on forging weapons. Only Fangchen has the leisure to look around casually.
Boom!
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from outside. Then, a bolt of divine power shot into the sky, illuminating the darkness.
"Enemy attack!"
A roar shook the air! The next moment, the formation's brilliance reached its peak, and the glyphs enveloped the entire barrier, making it impenetrable.
Boom!
Bang!
The sounds of battle erupted instantly! Outside, the roar of war and shouts of killing echoed incessantly.
A flicker of surprise crossed everyone's faces. Was this truly inevitable
"Everyone, no need to be distracted, continue forging your weapons. Those petty scoundrels outside are nothing to fear, they can't even get in here."
Qi Jie calmly opened his mouth.
Seeing Qi Jie so calm, the crowd no longer paid any attention.
Casting continues.
This casting took another two days.
The fighting outside continued, Qi Jia relying on formations and maneuvering to hold the enemy at bay for a long time.
But the opponent's strength is clearly much greater. At this moment, two of the three layers of the formation have already been broken, and only one layer remains.
But their casting only reached the twenty-sixth time, and there were still seven times to succeed.
Even Xiangxiu Master is no longer as calm and composed as before, he is also sweating profusely, starting to feel overwhelmed.
Others are even less supportive and are only struggling to keep going.
Thankfully, Qi Jie was well-prepared and took out many restorative pills.
However, many of these pills, although able to recover quickly, can be harmful to the physical body.
But these masters still gritted their teeth and took it, after all, at this moment, no one wanted to give up.
After so many rounds, only Xiang Xiu, Xiao Qing'er, and Fang Chen remained at the perfect level.
Others make mistakes more or less, but they don't give up because of that.
After all, no one can guarantee that the three of them won't make a mistake in the end.
Fang Chen's back glowed with brilliant light as the cursed script on his body erupted, and with another slash of his blade, he vanquished another evil spirit!
He frowned, feeling increasingly uneasy.
This is hardly a treasure, more like an evil artifact, wouldn't you say Otherwise, it wouldn't attract so many malevolent curses.
But since things have come to this, if he steps in to stop it, he will only provoke public anger.
Besides, even if it's an evil treasure, as long as it doesn't harm oneself, it's fine.
Besides, if the other party is not going to honor their promise, then who knows who will ultimately end up with this treasure.
He's not one to be taken advantage of. Since you broke your promise, don't blame him for not being polite.
He, on the contrary, became even more eager for the treasure to be successfully refined.
I wonder if Wen Bao has received the treasure yet.
Fang Chen thought to himself.
Crafting continues.
When the Twenty-Ninth time of tempering finally arrived.
But the people were not pleased, for at this moment the last outer layer of the formation had been broken. The shouts of killing echoed continuously, clearly indicating that the Qi family was afraid they would not be able to hold on any longer.
"Report!"
Suddenly! An elder from the Qi family burst in from outside.
He was covered in blood, enemy and his own already mingled together.
"Lord Mayor! The attack outside is too fierce! We are about to be unable to hold!"
"Stop it no matter what!"
The usually calm Qi Jie suddenly looked ferocious! He shouted: "I want you to resist at all costs!"
The elder was startled by Qi Jie's appearance, but still said, "But, there are only three hundred people left outside. We are afraid that..."
Even if I die, I will hold it back.
Qi Jie's face was cold, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Seeing this, the elder dared not say another word, could only nod in agreement: “Yes”.
But Qi Jie understood, those outside were probably no match.
He could only look in a certain direction, but there was no one there.
Suddenly, Xia Ling transmitted her voice to Fang Chen: "Young master! There is a strange aura over there! It's not from the human race!"n't see anything special about the statue itself," Zhuang Mao glanced at Mu Yi Ling, "the jade inside seems to contain a mysterious power. It's obvious that something inside the jade is nourishing it....
