Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 1264 - 1263: The Time It Takes to Drink a Cup of Tea
Before Du Songtao's explanation, many people didn't know what the Mystic Fire Stone was.
After Du Songtao started to explain, everyone learned what exactly this Mystic Fire Stone was.
After seeing Grandmaster Xia He's preparation, many people's gazes instantly fell on Zhang Xiaoshan.
Looking at Zhang Xiaoshan's side, many in the crowd were quite puzzled.
Because Zhang Xiaoshan was surprisingly sitting leisurely in a Taishi Chair, drinking tea.
Judging by his appearance, it seemed he wasn't prepared to start refining anything at all.
Seeing this scene, Xia He instantly became angry!
"What do you mean?"
"Refining an item takes an unimaginable amount of time!"
"To refine an Earth-level top-grade magic item, the time consumed is even more immeasurable."
"If you don't start now, are we supposed to wait for you for days and nights afterward?"
After finishing her words, without giving Zhang Xiaoshan a chance to reply, she answered herself.
"Indeed, if you don't understand anything about Artifact Refining, naturally there's no saying about starting to refine."
These words from Xia He made many people in the flower hall believe them.
Many truly thought Zhang Xiaoshan definitely didn't understand Artifact Refining, and was just talking nonsense before.
Unexpectedly, at this time, Zhang Xiaoshan calmly said.
"It's merely an Earth-level top-grade magic item, not saying I can simply make it with a wave, but the time it takes to drink a cup of tea is enough."
"Since your skills aren't refined, I'll let you start refining first."
In the ears of everyone, Zhang Xiaoshan's words sounded extremely arrogant.
Instantly, many martial artists and cultivators kept shaking their heads.
Even if they didn't engage in Artifact Refining, they've seen other Artifact Refiners creating items.
Refining a magic artifact is something extremely time-consuming and mentally exhausting.
Even when refining the simplest magic artifact, it's impossible to achieve it in the time it takes to wave a hand.
Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan's words, Xia He just coldly laughed and shook her head.
Then she ignored Zhang Xiaoshan and started focusing on refining the magic artifact.
"Bang!"
Under the watchful eyes of many, Xia He conjured a spell with her fingers.
Immediately, a Mystic Fire Stone turned into a ball of flame, falling into the Artifact Refinement Tripod.
After completing this step, Xia He took out one portion of the refining materials, which she had divided into twelve parts earlier.
Under the gaze of everyone, she also threw this portion of refining materials into the Artifact Refinement Tripod.
"Buzz——"
Next, Xia He's fingers flew, constantly casting finger skills one after another.
Seeing this, many martial artists believed Xia He's skills in Artifact Refining were exceptional.
Her mastery of the Artifact Refining Skill was extremely skillful.
Among the martial artists watching, some knew Xia He's background.
After seeing this, these martial artists immediately began speaking:
"Although Xia He is nominally a disciple of Xuanqi Sect's Master Li Chengfeng, in reality, she's Li Chengfeng's mistress."
"The finger skill she is displaying now is Li Chengfeng's exclusive finger skill used during Artifact Refining."
"That brother Zhang Xiao is already unlikely to win."
"Now it seems he has no chance at all."
The other martial artists present agreed with this martial artist's statement.
In their view, Zhang Xiaoshan had completely lost hope of winning.
While everyone was discussing, Xia He's finger skills continued to change uninterruptedly.
In the flower hall, Du Songtao, Ma Zhengdong, along with Ma Jingyi, Ma Tong, and Lin Miaomiao, all curiously watched Grandmaster Xia He.
Under the observation of many, an unexpected scene appeared.
"Bang!" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Inside the Artifact Refinement Tripod, the continuously burning Mystic Fire Stone suddenly flared up.
Under the explosion of the Mystic Fire Stone, that portion of jade material instantly turned into a pinch of black ash.
"This..."
Seeing this, everyone in the flower hall was utterly dumbfounded.
They couldn't understand what exactly happened.
Ma Jingyi felt like her heart was bleeding!
This portion of jade material was worth an astronomical price of twenty-five million!
If it wasn't for Grandmaster Xia He's illustrious reputation, Ma Jingyi wouldn't have taken out this jade material no matter what!
"Grandmaster Xia He, why did this happen?"
Ma Jingyi had seen other Artifact Refiners refining items before.
When other Artifact Refiners fail, they at least produce some defective products or waste.
This time, Xia He somehow ended up refining an artifact that resulted in nothing but a pinch of ash!
"Niece Jingyi, don't be disrespectful!"
Ma Zhengdong's voice was heard just in time.
Ma Zhengdong didn't expect Grandmaster Xia He to fail so thoroughly the first time she attempted refining.
While others didn't know the reason, Ma Zhengdong was clear about it.
This time, for unknown reasons, Xia He completely failed during Artifact Refining.
The magic artifact encountered issues, triggering the explosion of the Mystic Fire Stone, and naturally, nothing was left.
Xia He's face looked somewhat unsightly.
The materials Ma Jingyi brought out were of very high grade.
Logically, with such high-grade materials, even if her Artifact Refining Technique wasn't top-notch.
She should have been able, with the support of materials, the Artifact Refinement Tripod, Mystic Fire Stone, and exclusive finger skill, to easily create a high-grade magical artifact.
However, things didn't go as planned!
