Temperature-Controlled Separation Technology
After hearing Yi Xuan's words, the group was momentarily confused about his true intentions.
To monopolize all the Law Artifact? It seems pointless. Even if Yi Xuan has many magical Law Artifact, he won't be able to take them out once the time is up without refining them.
Want to refine all the Law Artifact? Then anyone here has a higher probability of success than Yi Xuan. Expecting someone Rootless Person to refine Law Artifact sounds like a pipe dream.
It was only because the rules of the Artifact Ruins were in place that the nine people didn't immediately step forward to question each other, but instead exchanged glances, and finally looked at Yi Xuan with strange expressions.
Yi Xuan knew, of course, that in their eyes, the request he had just made was utterly absurd. To put their minds at ease, Yi Xuan offered a brief explanation.
You've probably heard about the gains that sect disciples made in the past when they entered the Artifact Ruins, right?
Seeing everyone nod, Yi Xuan continued, "Look at you all, each of you has no less than twenty Law Artifact. Even if you started refining Law Artifact now, by the time the artifact Artifact Ruins closes, who among you is confident that you can refine all the magical Law Artifact in your hands?"
After hearing Yi Xuan's question, no one spoke. However, they also recognized the reality: let alone refining them all, they would be overjoyed if they could even refine five Law Artifacts.
Even in the best-case scenario, most of the Law Artifact they possessed would still be left behind, a thought that made everyone feel somewhat unwilling.
Having laid the groundwork sufficiently, Yi Xuan dropped a bombshell. "Hand over your Law Artifact to me, and I have a way to refine them in a short time!"
Hearing Yi Xuan's words, the group looked at Yi Xuan with surprise and delight. They never expected that this unreliable Sect Protector outside would repeatedly attract attention after entering the Artifact Ruins.
Yi Xuan's standing in the hearts of the group had already plummeted, but it was rapidly rising again.
Since Yi Xuan had said that he possessed a secret technique for quickly refining Law Artifact, the group no longer hesitated. They placed their bags in front of Yi Xuan and then bowed deeply to Yi Xuan with faces full of guilt.
Yi Xuan watched the group fly away, finding it amusing. He wondered what they would think when they discovered that Yi Xuan's refining process was not the same as what they thought it was.
Yi Xuan shook his head, picked up the two bags, and went into the cave, pondering what he should give them as payment for their labor.
As for compensation for the Law Artifact they contributed, Yi Xuan selectively ignored it. After all, this world has no labor laws; even if they were being exploited, what could they do?
Apply for labor arbitration? That's laughable.
After entering the cave, Yi Xuan threw the Law Artifact from the two bags in his hands one by one into the huge device in the center of the cave.
It can be said that this device alone occupies half of the entire cave area, and the two hours that Pangu spent setting up the temporary laboratory were actually mostly spent assembling this huge machine.
This machine is the cheating device that Yi Xuan specially prepared for this trip to the Artifact Ruins — Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace.
The principle is to melt and separate alloy materials through highly precise temperature control technology and an ideal internal environment. By taking advantage of the different melting points of different materials, the pure metals that make up the alloy are separated and then solidified to finally obtain different kinds of pure metals.
To ensure the proper functioning of this Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace, Yi Xuan even brought out the soul of the 3D printer – Golden Flame.
Indeed, given Yi Xuan's heating capabilities, only the Golden Flame can barely support the normal operation of the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace, and its temperature control is even more stringent than that of a 3D printer.
Yi Xuan closed the feed inlet of the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace and then instructed the Butler, "Begin! Start the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace! First, perform complete melting!"
At Yi Xuan's command, the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace erupted in a raging fire.
Ten minutes later, Yi Xuan looked at the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace, which had turned slightly red, and then at the condition of the Law Artifact inside. He fell into deep thought.
Unexpectedly, the magical Law Artifact left behind by the High Antiquity Artifact Sect are indeed powerful. The Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace was already on the verge of collapse, but those Law Artifact remained unmoved.
However, Yi Xuan anticipated this, as he had done thorough research on the materials available in the Cultivation Realm.
"Butler, turn on the cooling system!"
Indeed, Yi Xuan had anticipated this, and thus incorporated a cooling system into the design of the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace.
When designing the mechanical structure of the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace, Yi Xuan incorporated a cooling liquid flow channel inside, resembling human blood vessels.
Once the cooling system of the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace is activated, the specially formulated coolant from Yi Xuan will flow rapidly through these channels, thereby reducing the overall temperature of the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace. This solves the embarrassing situation where the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace body melts before the Law Artifact have melted due to excessively high temperatures.
Sure enough, as the cooling system was activated, the equipment temperature displayed on the holographic projection screen of the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace began to drop rapidly, while the temperature inside the furnace continued to rise.
At this moment, what Yi Xuan had been waiting for finally happened: the Law Artifact inside the furnace began to slowly melt, and as the temperature continued to rise, the melting speed of the Law Artifact became faster and faster.
Ultimately, all the Law Artifact disappeared into the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace, and as could be seen from the observation window above, they had turned into a pool of liquid.
At this moment, Yi Xuan did not relax in the slightest. To put it bluntly, the step just now was the simplest step in the whole process, and the next step was of utmost importance.
The tray holding the molten metal began to rotate slowly, and the speed of rotation gradually changed. As the rotation speed increased, some of the liquid was affected by centrifugal force, flew off the tray, and landed on the side wall.
As the speed increased, more and more molten metal splashed out, until finally, not a single drop of molten metal remained on the tray.
The sidewalls are covered with distinct layers of molten metal, with each layer flowing along its respective tank towards a small hole on one side.
Once all the molten metal had entered its respective orifice, Yi Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and said to the Butler, "Alright, begin cooling. Solidify and test the extracted material!"
The wait was incredibly long, though this was mostly psychological. In reality, less than half an hour later, the Butler reported, "All material testing is complete. The separation effect is excellent, and the purity of all materials is above 95%, with the highest purity reaching 98%!"
Yi Xuan was quite satisfied with the result. After all, it's impossible for something to be 100% pure. Materials with a purity of 95% to 98% were perfectly adequate for Yi Xuan's needs.
Opening the feeding port of the Temperature-Controlled Separation Furnace, Yi Xuan looked at the pieces of rare metals from the Cultivation Realm inside and was overjoyed.
Just then, a deep rumbling sound came from outside the cave. Yi Xuan knew that the ten Pangu, piloting the Little Eagle, had also returned. Yi Xuan hurriedly went out, wanting to know how their harvest had been.
