Stunning Dragon Wife-Chapter 1265 - 1264: Consecutive Failures

Xia He's heart was filled with extreme doubt!

She also didn't know what was going on — this time, let alone crafting a high-quality magical artifact.

She couldn't even produce a defective magic artifact.

Although she was puzzled about why she failed just now,

her expression quickly returned to normal, and she said. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Everyone makes mistakes, even horses stumble occasionally."

"It's inevitable to make a few errors when refining artifacts."

"I'll try one more time."

After speaking, Xia He took out another Mystic Fire Stone and placed it into the Artifact Refinement Tripod.

This time, Xia He was extremely cautious, taking one step at a time.

The onlookers watched for a while, and indeed, the previous explosion didn't occur.

Immediately, many martial artists breathed a sigh of relief.

"As expected, Master Xia He's first attempt was just a mistake."

"She's from the Mysterious Sect and is the prized disciple of Master Li Chengfeng."

"With her personally refining, it's impossible for her to fail."

But just as the martial artist finished speaking, a sudden explosion came from the Artifact Refinement Tripod in front of Xia He.

"Boom!"

After the explosion, the piece of jade instantly shattered into numerous fragments.

Ma Jingyi, who had just sat back down, now stood up abruptly again.

Xia He's complexion also turned somewhat unsightly.

However, she quickly found an excuse for her failure.

"It's been a long time since I've refined a Color Fixing Pearl, so I'm a bit rusty. I'll refine it once more."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xia He began refining the Color Fixing Pearl for the third time.

However, she seemed to be under a curse of failure; from the first attempt to the tenth,

without exception, she failed every single time!

Now, only two pieces of jade remained on the table beside her.

Ma Jingyi, by this time, was already standing beside Master Xia He, pale-faced.

Her voice trembled as she said:

"Master Xia He, maybe you should take a break and refine later?"

Ma Jingyi's heart was bleeding the entire time!

The antique Jade Kinrin valued at three hundred million was incredibly precious, possibly one of a kind globally.

Entrusting such a treasure to Xia He, only to have it completely wasted!

Xia He took a deep breath and continued:

"Jingyi, no need to worry."

"This piece of jade is very special, completely different from any refining materials I've used before."

"If anyone else got this material and refined it twelve times, they would fail all twelve times."

"Although I haven't succeeded before, with previous experience, I will definitely refine two Color Fixing Pearls for you from these last two pieces."

Hearing this, Ma Jingyi felt somewhat relieved.

The crowd, filled with doubt, also came to an understanding.

It wasn't that Master Xia He was incapable; it was the exceptional nature of the material.

Even with Master Xia He's refining expertise, failing ten times was needed to understand the material thoroughly.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Xia He began her eleventh attempt at refining.

This time, just as she had claimed,

she refined up until the last phase without damaging the jade.

Ma Jingyi, upon seeing this, was so overjoyed she covered her mouth.

Yet her happiness was premature, as the Color Fixing Pearl, on the verge of completion, suddenly cracked apart!

Even though it was yet another failure, everyone in the hall still had faith in Xia He.

"Compared to before, Master Xia He almost succeeded this time!"

"This means there's a good chance Master Xia He will successfully refine the Color Fixing Pearl next."

The speaker was a middle-aged martial artist.

His words were rather reserved.

However, there were others who had total confidence in Master Xia He.

These people declared directly:

"Don't worry, Master Xia He will definitely refine the Color Fixing Pearl this time."

As they said this, a calm voice suddenly emerged.

"No matter how many times she tries, she'll inevitably fail if she continues like this."

"The path of refining artifacts should never rely on the instrument overpowering the human."

"If one's own skill is lacking, making a top-tier artifact is hard."

"Using a powerful Artifact Refinement Tripod and flame to increase success is just relying on the instrument, deceiving oneself."

The owner of this indifferent voice was, of course, Zhang Xiaoshan.

Following his words, Master Xia He and many within the flower hall turned their gaze to him.

Ma Jingyi, even more indignantly, said coldly:

"You are challenging Master Xia He in refining, just focus on your own artifact."

"You didn't say any of this before Master Xia He started refining."

"Now that Master Xia He is about to succeed, you decide to make snide comments, isn't that beneath you?"

Ma Jingyi and Zhang Xiaoshan bore no deep-seated grudges.

But since Zhang Xiaoshan was mixed up with Ma Tong, he became her enemy.
