• Quan Yi brought a huge furnace to Yang Quan, secured it in place, and loaded it with more than a thousand kilograms of natural Adamantine.

Quan Yi refined a thousand kilograms of Fine Gold into a small amount of Diamond Fine Gold, a metal that magnified soul power fluctuations. He planned to forge it into Spirit Awakening Grade material for the Ring Band, pairing it with Phoenix Blood Ruby.
