I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 1641 - 1645: What Truly Makes a Saint Grade
"Master, this is the highest-grade artifact refining room we have in Qing Yun Pavilion. If you want to rent it, it costs 1000 Divine Crystals per day!"
"Hmm, not bad!" Zhang Menglong looked around the artifact refining room with satisfaction. The place was very spacious, and the air circulation was excellent. Most importantly, they had even found a natural lava channel here, filling the room with a strong fire element.
"Master, all the materials are ready. Please start, while Uncle Qing Kong and I will stand by to protect you."
"Is this woman perhaps a 'powder-cut black'?" Zhang Menglong murmured to himself, obviously here to monitor him but calling it protection.
"If that Gu Xiao boy marries this Third Princess, he'll definitely not have any family authority, a total henpecked husband," Zhang Menglong muttered to himself, "If there's a chance, I must properly educate him, doing a good deed to the end, sending the Buddha to the West, right?"
Not bothering with them further, Zhang Menglong moved to the pile of materials. These materials were very high-grade; even the auxiliary materials alone might be enough to forge a pretty decent weapon.
Zhang Menglong glanced at the so-called Divine Weapon fragment. It's called a fragment, but it's so large it seems to have chipped off from the blade of an axe. Judging by this fragment's size, the axe it came from must be over 20 meters long!
This piece of metal was incredibly strong; at least in his original human world, Zhang Menglong had never seen a material as sturdy as this. It must be quite rare even in this Divine Realm.
It's unknown who forged it into an axe, and even more unknown what intensity of battle would be needed to shatter such a thing.
Though curious, Zhang Menglong knew now was not the time to investigate such matters; he would have plenty of time to study them later.
"Golden Emperor Burning Heaven Flame!"
Opening one hand, Zhang Menglong produced a golden flame that fiercely blazed.
Lan Xin and Qing Kong had a hint of shock in their eyes; the flame's extremely high temperature made them both feel a bit suffocated. Additionally, the flame carried a supreme imperial aura, as if the King of the Yanlan Empire himself had descended before them, an indescribably marvelous sensation!
Under the intense roasting of this flame, the metal began to slowly melt!
Qing Kong nearly cried out in excitement, for until now, no one had achieved this feat; melting this metal indicated that this mysterious man in gray robes certainly had the skill!
To use a Strange Fire for something as extreme as melting a piece of metal seemed a waste of formidable resources. In less than half an hour, the entire metal melted entirely, and impurities burned to ashes by the Strange Fire, leaving the metallic liquid with a dark red hue!
"I wonder how Master will make it possess two completely different attributes!" Lan Xin watched Zhang Menglong's youthful hands, knowing he was not an aged Artifact Refiner. On the contrary, he was very young, perhaps not even older than her!
"Girl, have you noticed this Master..."
Qing Kong had evidently also noticed Zhang Menglong's extraordinary youthfulness, "I can feel the Master's age is very young, yet I can't discern his life levels, as if some treasure is masking his aura. He is much stronger than your fiancé!"
Lan Xin said nothing because what he said was indeed true. Compared to that waste Gu Xiao, this mysterious Master was as dazzling as the sun in the sky, with no point of comparison.
"Perhaps you might consider making the acquaintance of this Master afterwards," Qing Kong teased, "Who knows, he might not be married yet! Hahaha!"
"Uncle Qing Kong, you're teasing me!" Although Lan Xin said this, she couldn't help but feel a bit stirred inside. No one could refuse an outstanding young man, but for now, she held more admiration for the gray-robed youth before her.
At this moment, the entire artifact refining room's temperature plummeted, with one half remaining in a frenzied high heat while the other half saw the water vapor condensing into tiny snowflakes in mid-air, creating an experience of both fiery and frosty extremities.
"This white flame..." Qing Kong's eyes reflected Zhang Menglong's cluster of white, ethereal cold flames. The chill emanated from these flames.
Such cold flames were unheard and unseen in their lifetimes, and to have such contradictory forces present within one individual was even more inexplicable. Yet, this person was still unharmed; what on earth kind of deity was he?
At this point, Zhang Menglong slightly flipped his wrist, having the two flames coalesce into the shape of a pair of hammers. Having finished refining the metallic liquid, he added the other auxiliary materials, shaping it slowly under the pounding of these two hammers.
Given that Qing Kong excelled in using the Square Sky Halberd, Zhang Menglong naturally favored crafting a similar weapon for him!
The alternating hot and cold forces intertwined, endowing the double-layered blades of the Square Sky Halberd with two completely separate powers, while its shaft simultaneously acquired the capability to channel both hot and cold energy.
So far, less than two hours had passed!
"If this Master could be drawn to our Yanlan Empire, he could certainly cultivate a large number of outstanding Artifact Refiners!" Lan Xin had dabbled a bit in artifact refining knowledge.
Though it may look like simply hammering with an iron hammer, each strike involved great precision in force, angle, and sequence, each following its own set of guidelines.
But Zhang Menglong's hammering was profound to an absolutely mysterious level, rendering her unable to fathom it; this was certainly a higher-level Artifact Refining Technique!
The clanging sound continued until dusk, by which time the Square Sky Halberd had entirely taken form. At this moment, Zhang Menglong surprisingly summoned a new kind of flame!
This flame exhibited an ocean-like blue, and unlike typical burning flames, it manifested ripples like water while burning!
The half-finished Square Halberd passed through the flame, and with a crisp sound, it slowly developed dark red patterns, patterns filled with a mysterious aura, formed by hammer strikes!
Just then, a power seemed to descend from the sky, triggered by the completion of a high-grade weapon, a natural phenomenon appearing only when an elixir or weapon reached the Saint Grade or above!
The quality of this Square Sky Halberd had actually reached such a degree!
It must be known that Qing Kong's original weapon was just Ninth Grade, far from being half a step towards Saint Grade, and Semi-Saint and Saint Grade were worlds apart!
Throughout the history of their Yanlan Empire, no Artifact Refiner had ever forged a Saint Grade weapon! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Yet at this moment, they heard a voice of regret emanating from beneath the gray robe.
"Oh dear, I messed up. How come it's only Saint Grade?"
