They were good materials, but forging them was no easy task.
After wrapping himself in mana to prevent anyone from peeping, Li Su began attempting artifact refinement.
Unexpectedly, the very first step gave him a headache for quite a while.
Using scarlet gold as a primer, he had to fuse those evil materials into it one by one to create a coating. That was the most difficult part.
Whether it was a hundred years of resentment, cursed blood, or bones of unwillingness, all were materials steeped in immense resentment, normally used only in cursed magical treasures.
As Li Su had said, they and the power of lightning were naturally incompatible.
Yet the creator of this magical treasure had found another path. He did not need the power of those evil things themselves, only their structure.
By fusing them through scarlet gold, he used the principle of two negatives making a positive to dissolve the evil nature itself, leaving behind only its pathways.
That way, the greatest point of incompatibility with lightning power was thoroughly weakened.
Naturally, he also made partial changes to the lightning itself, diluting its righteous tone as much as possible and mainly retaining its sound.
Using those two as the core and the lingering soul left behind after the holder's death as the heart, he could thereby activate a special curse.
The process sounded simple, but the actual operation was far from easy.
Even Li Su needed three full failures before he successfully produced that unique coating.
Next came the forging of the Thunderclap Stone. This was undoubtedly much less difficult and fell within Li Su's area of expertise. The Numinous Treasure Scripture excelled most at smelting metals, so it could not stump him.
With both materials gathered, the next step was to begin refining.
He hammered
