[Me: I've reforged it. We can see the results this time tomorrow. What does "living sacrifice" mean? Don't tell me this Demon Artifact was refined from a living creature?]
Ye Fei returned home, set the little ones down, and put the bone flute into the Artifact Refining Furnace.
Looking at the twenty-four-hour countdown and the cost of over ten thousand energy, Ye Fei really wasn't sure what the reforging would produce.
And he was genuinely curious. Somehow, the emphasis in Living Sacrifice Demon Puppet Flute felt as though it lay in the words "living sacrifice."
[Deserted Island/1186-6868-9908 (Long Heng): Pretty much. You use some kind of high-grade creature as the material and refine it while it's still alive. When the refining is complete, that high-grade creature's soul becomes the Artifact Spirit. There are magic artifacts, Demon Artifacts, and Demonic Artifacts of this type. The advantage is that the Artifact Spirit has a high degree of integration and can perform beyond normal limits. The downside is that if you can't keep it suppressed, it may turn on you. After all, being refined alive generates no small amount of resentful qi.]
Long Heng explained to Ye Fei how the "living sacrifice" tag came about, along with its advantages and disadvantages.
In fact, this sort of thing was fairly common in the current World Channel. Among cultivators of every type, there were those who liked this crafting method with its amplification effects.
Some players considered this practice too brutal, but that didn't stop others from making and using such things.
[Me: I think I get it. If you control it properly, it saves you worry and effort and performs beyond normal limits. If you can't control it, it might kill you instead. That's really dangerous.]
