Inside the quiet chamber, heat surged.
The scorching heat came from the Life-Giving Creation Cauldron placed in the center. The work of refining the Magic Treasure had already continued for three days and three nights, yet there was still no sign of it ending.
This was perfectly normal.
A third-rank Magic Treasure and a second-rank spirit artifact were worlds apart in origin and essence. Refining a spirit artifact took several days; a Magic Treasure naturally required even more time.
Even an Artifact Refining Master would need several months, or even one or two years.

Wang Chen sat beside the treasure cauldron as well, remaining motionless for three days and three nights.
He had not been idle these past few days. At intervals, he had to toss Spirit Stones into the treasure cauldron.
And infuse it with Mana.
Spirit Stones were the "fuel" that kept the spiritual fire inside the cauldron burning. Once their spiritual power was fully exhausted, an entire batch of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures worth a staggering sum would be ruined.
The losses would be immeasurable.
