Chapter 182 - Inside a Secret Chamber
Roughly an hour later, in a rather spacious secret room under the courtyard.
Tang Huan sat cross-legged. Sky Wood Stone, Phoenix Stone, Dragon Crystal, Phoenix Flame Essence, Sun Scorching Stone, Fire Iron and Indestructible Gold Stones were arranged in a row. If such items were to be seen in the Dragon Spring Town, the entire town would probably be bleeding profusely from the competition for them.
Outside the secret room's exit not too far away, Mu Yan was similarly sitting cross-legged on the ground without making a sound.
Outside this secret room, there was another secret room connected to each other. Feng Ming, Xiao Budian and the Rainbow Spirit Mouse were all there. Mu Yan did not pay any attention to the movements in the secret room outside, she was completely focused on Tang Huan. This was her first time seeing Weapon Refiner forging a weapon that could be upgraded.
Tang Huan's mind was even more focused, as he continuously picked up and put down the things in front of him.
Tang Huan had already thought through what kind of weapon he would need to forge this time.
There were only two powerful offensive techniques that he currently trained in. One was the "Flaming Rainbow Spear Art" and the other was the "Burning Heaven Slash Technique". He did have a Rainbow Shocking Blade. However, with the current situation, it was not suitable for him to carry around as it would expose his identity too easily.
Therefore, when he left the Dragon Spring Town, Tang Huan would leave behind the Rainbow Blade.
From the looks of it, it didn't matter if it was a forging knife or a spear. However, after careful consideration, Tang Huan still chose to forge a spear. It was because of the fact that, among the two battle skills, the "Burning Sea Slash" only had four incomplete moves, while the "Flaming Rainbow Spear" art was complete.
In addition, the current materials were more suitable for forging a long spear.
After a long while, all that was left beside Tang Huan were the large piece of Fiery Iron, five Dragon Crystal s, a Phoenix Flame Essence, a Phoenix Stone and three Heavenly Wood Rocks.
These were the materials that Tang Huan had selected.
The reason why he chose "Blazing Iron" instead of "Indestructible Brilliant Gold" was very simple. With his current Genuine Qi, even if he used all his might to activate the "Nirvana Sacred Fire", it would still be difficult for him to refine a precious material like "Indestructible Brilliant Golden", that could be used to forge a divine artifact.
According to Tang Huan's estimations, only after he had advanced to the eighth stage of Martial Lord would he be able to use the "Indestructible Brilliant Golden".
As a result, Tang Huan could only use "Blazing Metal" right now, and this kind of weapon that was forged by iron ore had a certain flexibility, it was a very suitable weapon for forging pikes. As for the spearhead, as long as it was tempered to 60% of its normal temperature, it would become incomparably hard.
After the main material was confirmed, it was the gem.
Of the five elements, wood could ignite fire, but the combination of these two gems had to be perfect. The weapon that Tang Huan wanted to forge had to be of the fire attribute, in order to be able to maximize the power of the Spiritual Fire. Thus, he naturally used the fire attribute gem, which was also known as the "Phoenix Stone", as his main weapon.
In this way, the effects of the "Heavenly Wood Stone" would definitely not be stronger than the "Phoenix Stone".
Otherwise, it would cause a ruckus and affect the weapon's performance, but the effects of the "Sky Wood Stone" could not be too weak.
This was like a burning flame suddenly adding a large pile of firewood. Not only could it not become stronger, it might even cause the flame to extinguish, but if only adding a very small branch into the fire, it would also not help in increasing the intensity of the fire.
Therefore, it was a great test of a Weapon Refiner's judgement.
Tang Huan had originally thought that these two "Heavenly Wood Rocks" were about enough to match one "Phoenix Stone", but after a moment of close inspection, he discovered that one "Phoenix Stone" required three "Heavenly Wood Rocks". Although the "Phoenix Stone" was only a middle-ranked gem while the "Heavenly Wood Stone" was a high-ranked gem, the effectiveness of the "Phoenix Stone" was far beyond what the "Heavenly Wood Stone" could compare to.
"Mu Yan, you should take care of the little fellows outside."
Tang Huan looked up at Mu Yan.
Ever since Tang Huan had promised to level up to the eighth stage of Martial Lord and set her free, Mu Yan's mindset had undergone a tremendous change. Before that, Mu Yan who had become a puppet felt that he had nothing to live for, if he was not afraid of being humiliated after death, he would have committed suicide long ago. But knowing that she had the opportunity to regain her freedom, the will to die in her heart gradually dissipated.
It was not easy to die. Especially after one's life force was reignited, it would no longer be easy for one to have the intention to die.
Such a Mu Yan would cause many misgivings to rise in his heart.
If it was still the same Mu Yan from before, Tang Huan would definitely not dare to disguise himself and bring her into the Divine Armament Tower to gamble. After all, in that place, if Mu Yan did not care about the Spiritual Fire in her Dantian at all, as long as he loudly revealed his identity, it would be impossible for him to escape.
"Humph!"
Hearing that, Mu Yan did not say anything, he only snorted, and accepted it.
Tang Huan smiled, retracted his gaze, and took a light breath. A moment later, Tang Huan was already calm and focused, with a light stretch of his hand, the large piece of "Obsidian Iron" was caught in his palm. Almost at the same time, within Tang Huan's Dantian, the "Nine Yang Divine Furnace" and the two stages of Spiritual Wheel were already operating to their limits.
"Hu!"
In the next moment, a captivating red flame whizzed out from Tang Huan's palm.
"In an instant, the entire piece of [Obsidian Iron] had been completely covered." Once the Nirvana Sacred Fire was activated, an incomparable heat wave began to frantically engulf the surroundings. In the blink of an eye, the secret room seemed to have turned into a furnace that was unbearably hot.
At the exit of the secret room, Mu Yan felt the change in temperature, and his expression couldn't help but change slightly.
Even until now, she still had some lingering fear from the Spiritual Fire that Tang Huan had displayed. Now that she saw the flames in Tang Huan's palm, she felt as if her shoulders were aching again. The miserable situations of Hu Sen, Tian Hong, Hong Xin, and Rong Qi uncontrollably surfaced in her mind.
However, in his lingering fear, Mu Yan rejoiced slightly. After taking action against Tang Huan, he was still alive and well until now.
She knew very well that even though Tang Huan was only a Stage Five Martial Master, after fusing with one of the Five Great Spiritual Fire's "Nirvana Sacred Fire", the Stage Six Martial Master was simply incapable of contending against him. Even if it was a Stage Seven Martial Master, it would probably not be an easy task to kill him. With Tang Huan's potential, as long as he does not die prematurely, becoming a Stage Nine Martial Saint and a Weapon Refining Grand Master in the future was something that was already certain to happen.
She had completely resigned herself to her fate. Becoming a follower of a future Stage Nine Martial Saint and a Weapon Refining Grand Master was not a very shameful thing, not to mention that Tang Huan had promised to restore her freedom after advancing to a Martial Saint of the eighth step.
After getting along for more than ten days, she had a good understanding of Tang Huan's personality. Since Tang Huan had already said so, then he would definitely not go back on his words.
Of course, this was also because after Tang Huan had used the power of the Spiritual Fire to control her, he had always treated her with respect, and never threatened her with any threats.
Mu Yan's mind spun, facing towards a place ten meters away, the flame in Tang Huan's palm had already changed, and was actually churning like a wave.
This was actually a technique that Tang Huan had used before in the "Weapon Refining Competition" — —
Great waves breaking through the sand!
