Qin Tiexin sat down cross-legged in the courtyard and began to breathe evenly.

He closed his eyes and felt the flow of Qi and Blood and the ups and downs of spiritual power in his body. The pool of spiritual liquid in Dantian was as calm as a mirror, and Fire of Life was burning slowly in the ventricle of his heart. He adjusted his state little by little to the best.

Then pick out a few Law Artifact fragments containing Star Trace Iron from the storage ring.

Star Trace Iron is an extremely high-grade spiritual material, which is close to a treasure. This kind of spiritual material is very rare in Azure Xuan Region, but some can be found in Heavenly South Domain.

The two fragments in his hand were dug out from the Law Artifact wreckage on the third floor of Pure Land Chan Temple. They were mixed in a pile of fragments, dark and inconspicuous, and he scanned them with Divine Sense before recognizing them.

Now in front of me, there are faint light spots flowing on the surface of the fragments, like stars in the middle of the night.

The previous short knife was very handy for close combat. Now that knife is gone, he only has Edgeless in his hand. Edgeless is too heavy and not suitable for close combat.

He also wanted to imitate what Master Luo Ling did back then and get himself a handy short sword.

Qin Tiexin placed the Law Artifact fragment in front of him, with the palm of his left hand facing upward, and Red Luan Heart Flame spurted out from his palm.

Flame has a light pink color, and the high temperature wraps the fragments. The flames lick the edges of the fragments, making a slight hissing sound.

All materials quickly dry out, fall off, and turn to dust under high temperatures. Black smoke rises, is blocked by the formation in the courtyard, disperses into a few wisps, and disappears.

Under the high temperature, the ordinary materials in the fragments were tempered bit by bit. Qin Tiexin watched the internal changes with his eyes and Divine Sense.

All those ordinary materials and low-quality spiritual materials were eliminated, and the remaining Star Trace Iron slowly gathered in the palm of the hand, surging and shrinking in Flame, and finally condensed into a pure ingot of spiritual materials.

This ingot of spiritual material is about the size of two palms and weighs close to two thousand kilograms. Its surface is intertwined with black and silver patterns. If you look carefully, you can see that there are dots of light on it, like the traces of meteors streaking across the night sky, so it is called Star Trace Iron.

Qin Tiexin No ordinary materials were added.

He wanted to challenge himself today and play Supreme-Grade Law Artifact.

The difference between Supreme-Grade Law Artifact and Upper-Grade Law Artifact is that the first is the spiritual material content, and the second is Spirit Rune Array.

Supreme-Grade Law Artifact, the spiritual material content is 10%, and there is no ordinary material mixed in it. Spirit Rune Array also needs at least five lines to form an array.

He held the Star Trace Iron ingot in his left hand and continued to increase the output of Red Luan Heart Flame.

Spiritual Qi was continuously extracted from Dantian, passing through Fire of Life on the chest, and then poured into the palm of the hand. The pink Flame became brighter and brighter, the temperature became higher and higher, and the air in the small courtyard was roasted.

The Star Trace Iron ingot with extremely high melting point finally softened slowly and its surface lit up. First it turned dark red, then orange-red, and finally turned into a dazzling bright red.

The entire iron ingot turned into a ball of flowing liquid, slowly squirming above the palm of Qin Tiexin.

It's time.

Qin Tiexin used his spiritual power and the power of Qi and Blood to wrap up the molten spiritual material. He had no right hand, which was inconvenient, but he still used his left hand and Spiritual Qi's traction to continuously stretch and deform the entire ball of spiritual material.

The ball of molten metal was pulled into a long strip in front of his palm, and then curved in the middle with his fingers.

During the process of transformation, he constantly adjusted the size and shaped it according to his own exertion habits.

This knife was forged by himself and must be most suitable for his own hand. No matter how long the blade is, how thick the handle is, how thick the guard is, how large the arc of the blade is, everything must follow the instinct of his body. One inch longer, one inch shorter, one minute heavier, one minute lighter, the use is different.

This step is easy to say but extremely difficult to do.

Without the assistance of his right hand, if there is a slight deviation, the center of gravity of the knife will be biased. He can only rely on the touch of his left hand and the traction of Divine Sense to grasp the balance.

Molten metal is not so easy to control. It will deform excessively with a little force, and collapse again with a little relaxation.

Several times, the middle section of the blade became crooked, and he could only reheat it to soften that part, and then adjust it from the beginning. Reheat it, reshape it, and find its center of gravity again.

Time and time again, spiritual energy was consumed greatly.

Qin Tiexin could feel that the Spiritual Qi in Dantian was continuously decreasing, Fire of Life was also burning extremely strongly, and all the Qi and Blood in his whole body was pouring into his palms. But he knew he couldn't stop. Only by passing this level could the level of weapon refining truly reach a higher level.

Whether or not Supreme-Grade Law Artifact can be refined is the watershed between second-level and third-level weapon refiners.

For nearly half an hour, the shape of the entire knife slowly took shape under the traction of his Divine Sense, the assistance of his spiritual power, and the control of his palms.

The sword is three feet five inches long, which is not short for an ordinary person, but considering his body shape, it is indeed a short sword.

He took a short rest and allowed the blade to gradually solidify.

After Flame was put away, the blade slowly turned from blazing white to dark red, and then slowly turned into a black and silver color. But you can't wait too long, you have to engrave Spirit Rune Array before it completely cools down.

Supreme-Grade Law Artifact requires at least five Spirit Rune to form an array. Different Spirit Rune are combined in the mind and then carved on the blade, which is a huge consumption of Divine Sense.

Moreover, the connection method between the five-line formation is more complex, and the position of the formation eyes is more particular. If there is a slight difference, the entire sword will be useless.

Qin Tiexin took out two transparent balls from Storage Bag while observing the temperature of the blade. This is Soul Pearl obtained by killing Incense Ash Monster on the first floor of Pure Land Chan Temple. It can not only improve Divine Sense, but also quickly recover when Divine Sense is consumed too much.

This was also one of the reasons why he dared to try this forging.

After a while, the temperature of the dagger dropped to a level where Spirit Rune Array could be painted. The blade was no longer red, a very thin oxide layer formed on the surface, and the black and silver star patterns were clearly distinguishable.

Qin Tiexin used Qi and Blood to hold the blade and float it in front of him. He stretched out his left index finger, and Spiritual Qi formed an extremely thin carving knife on his fingertip.

The carving knife has no entity and is compressed from pure Spiritual Qi. The tip of the knife is as thin as a hair.

He closed his eyes and went through the path of Spirit Rune Array in his mind. The five paths of Spirit Rune, the five directions, and the five formations were intertwined into a whole.

Then drop your fingers.

Start from the handle of the knife and move around with your fingertips.

Complete it in one go, without stopping.

Supreme-Grade Law Artifact does not contain extraordinary materials, and its hardness and carving difficulty are much higher than ordinary Law Artifact.

It was smooth at first, but gradually, the resistance on the fingertips became more and more intense. Every time I advanced, a lot of Divine Sense and spiritual power were consumed.

He has not yet reached Golden Core Realm, so he cannot use Spiritual Qi to directly cover Spirit Rune on the blade like his master. He can only carve it bit by bit. Divine Sense is consumed very quickly. At the same time, Qi and Blood and spiritual power must be used to support the blade to prevent it from shaking.

Thirty percent, fifty percent, sixty percent, Spirit Rune gradually takes shape.

When it was almost 70%, Qin Tiexin's eyes suddenly turned black, and everything in front of him began to shake.

No, Divine Sense consumes too much.

He made a prompt decision and crushed the two Soul Pearl next to him with one foot.

Transparent beads exploded on the soles of the feet, and a cool breath flowed into the mind along the legs. Only then did the eyes regain clarity. Divine Sense made up for it. Although it was not completely restored, it could at least hold on to the rest.

He gritted his teeth and continued carving.

Eighty percent, ninety percent.

The last stroke falls on the tip of the knife.

Spirit Rune Array is completed.

The short knife clattered into the water tank prepared in advance, and with a hiss, a burst of white mist rose.

Qin Tiexin stood there, breathing heavily.

It's done.
