"Okay..."
Extracting the essence from the Green Lotus had already left Yu Jing's body extremely weak.
The powerful repulsion between the Green Lotus essence and the Chaos Crystal just now had nearly cost Yu Jing his life.
The mask had already begun forging the spear shaft, but Yu Jing's regeneration was extremely slow. His lower body was still only a rough outline woven from plants.
"Yu Jing, you did very well... Your efforts have raised the quality of the spear shaft's materials by an entire level... Now I'm rather curious what interesting changes this Chaos Crystal, which has absorbed plant properties, will undergo when combined with the primordial Chaos flesh."
As it praised Yu Jing, the mask carefully shaped the spear shaft.
Using a method that distorted space and time, it forcibly compressed the high-temperature liquid into the shape of a spear shaft without wasting a single bit of the raw material.
Once the compression was complete, the mask lightly tapped it. Time solidified, and preparations for the upcoming ultra-rapid quenching began.
With a wave of its hand, the mask instantly switched the lava cavern scene to a dark Black Iron Forge filled with biting cold.
It took out a long barrel of thousand-year cold crystal from deep within the Arctic Nations. A hole capable of holding the spear-shaft mold had already been left in its center.
At a speed invisible to the naked eye, the mask sealed the compressed liquid spear shaft inside the mold, then inserted it into the hole in the thousand-year cold crystal.
By then, Yu Jing was barely supporting himself as he slowly approached to observe the weapon's forging.
Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!
The entire barrel of thousand-year cold crystal sublimated within five seconds.
"Done!"
The mask split the mold open with a single palm strike.
