Inside the palace, Xiao Shuang leaned against the headboard, holding a scroll in his hand.
This scroll recorded the Refining Artifacts Manual. Xiao Shuang finally had the time to learn artifact refining.
Although Xiao Shuang cultivated Ice Attribute Dou Qi and could not control flames, Xiao Yu's help had solved that problem.
The solution was for Xiao Yu to take out a portion of the origin flame seed and plant it inside Xiao Shuang's body.

Therefore, Xiao Shuang's method of catalyzing the flame seed was rather extravagant: he burned medicinal ingredients or pills to provide it with energy. Moreover, the medicinal ingredients or pills used as fuel could not be of too low a grade, or the flames would not be powerful enough.
Artifact refining was much simpler than alchemy and placed far less demanding requirements on soul power. This was true for ordinary artifact refiners. For that reason, artifact refiners held a status far below that of alchemists, and becoming an artifact refiner was easier than becoming an alchemist.
Yet alchemy and artifact refining were ultimately two different paths. It was said that several hundred years ago, weapons forged by high-tier artifact refiners would make any expert covet them and fight over them.
But now, for some unknown reason, the inheritance of ancient artifact refiners had been severed. The common method for forging weapons today was to embed magic cores and use their power to strengthen the weapons.
However, this
