To the left of the main hall was a storage room.
To the right was, surprisingly, an artifact-forging room.
Looking at the enormous furnace fused into the ground before him, Xu Changqing said in disbelief, "This is the first time I've seen artifacts forged like this."
By his estimate, Thick Earth Crystals served as the formation core, drawing upon Earth Vein spiritual energy and converting it into a special kind of Earthfire. Though the temperature was not high, it could slowly soften metal.
