Hard Work! Qi Shuyan and Wei Sheng Arrive

Within a month, he had spent twenty days earning over four thousand Merit Points, with one rest break in between. Counting everything, they had less than nine full days left to refine the Blue Silver Spear, because Song Yi and Shi Yong could not endure it and needed rest as well.

Yet in those fewer than nine days, they had failed nearly thirty times, losing close to three thousand Merit Points.

And this was only the refinement of the first Water Element Magic Treasure, the Blue Silver Spear.

There were still four Magic Treasures of different attributes to come.

Zhang Lingshan was best at the Water Element, yet even refining a Water Element Magic Treasure had been this difficult.

Even if each of the remaining four consumed as much as the Blue Silver Spear, that would still mean a loss of twelve thousand Merit Points.

Converted into the time Zhang Lingshan needed to refine materials like mad, that was sixty days—two whole months.

Just thinking about it terrified Song Yi and Shi Yong.

Zhang Lingshan had only just criticized Song Yi for acting without considering the consequences and rushing things, yet Zhang Lingshan himself was working even harder than Song Yi.

For the sake of those four Magic Treasures, how many more materials would he have to refine without sleep or rest?

"It's fine. The first time is unfamiliar, the second time is easier. The previous failures were mainly because I wasn't proficient in the artifact-refining techniques. I'm proficient now, so there won't be so many failures afterward," Zhang Lingshan said.

Song Yi and Shi Yong were left speechless.

Zhang Lingshan was actually turning around to comfort the two of them.

But Zhang Lingshan was being far too optimistic. What did he mean, proficient now? He was nowhere near proficiency.
