C45 Fried

For five consecutive days, Zhang Chao seemed to have not moved an inch away from the Four Sheep Burning Cauldron.

In fact, he didn't even sleep much. He really couldn't take it anymore and only rested for two incense sticks of time before continuing with his work.

Qiao Heng and the others were also exhausted. After all, continuously channeling their spirit energy into the Four Sheep Burning Cauldron to control the temperature was indeed a hard task.

The handle of the axe had already been created. Now, what they needed to do was to fuse the remaining materials together and repeatedly hammer the axe. In addition, they would also need to connect the axe with the handle of the axe to complete the refining of the magic treasure!

Although Zhang Chao encountered many problems in the refining process, these materials were, after all, greatly different from the materials recorded in the original River Styx handwritten letter. He wanted to try fusing these materials with the《 Record of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures》 and the refining methods of《 All Things Refining Method》 at the same time.

However, from the looks of it, his plan was in the right direction, and there were no major flaws.

At the same time, his experience in artifact forging was also increasing rapidly. Be it his techniques or his ability to grasp elemental energy, it could be said that he was no longer the same person from five days ago.

Qiao Heng and the others all looked at him and started to admire him more and more.

Sure enough, he wasn't bragging, but had real ability. Didn't he see that the axe was already half-formed?

Putting everything aside, the handle of the axe was already emitting waves of hostility. The runes on it were densely packed, as if it was concealing a tremendous amount of energy.

"Next is the axe!" Zhang Chao carefully removed the metal material from the furnace that had been completely stripped of the impurities, and then pressed it into the mold. When it was slightly condensed, it would be placed on the anvil while it was still hot, he raised the Nine-striped Heavenly Hammer and started to beat it.

With each strike of the hammer, sparks flew and waves of Yuan Power undulated from the axe.

At the same time as the hammer landed, Zhang Chao immersed his spirit force into the axe, forcefully splitting apart the lines.

He didn't understand it before, but now he understood that these markings were the formations carved on the axe!

Magic treasures were only released when the formation was activated due to the activation of the user's spirit energy.

However, this item was not as simple as it sounded. After all, it was not an easy feat to integrate these patterns and materials together.

Only the refiner knew how difficult it was.

"Crack crack!" Suddenly, a crack appeared on the surface of the axe!

"This …" Zhang Chao immediately stopped and frowned.

"Crack crack crack!" Soon after, cracks spread out in all directions, and the entire red axe seemed as if it would split apart at any moment.

"Crap, could it be that the texture formation doesn't match the materials?" He sucked in a breath of cold air. Although the All Things Refining Method had such a possibility, he never expected himself to encounter it so quickly.

Compatibility was the most crucial issue between the materials and the array.

"Crack crack crack!" More and more cracks appeared, and the sounds of cracks breaking were heard.

"What's going on? Little Master, this … " The expressions of the people of Qiao Family also changed.

"Not good, everyone quickly retreat!" Zhang Chao felt the blood on his body turning cold, he immediately shouted and jumped out.

"Run!" Qiao Heng also felt his scalp go numb, and he jumped backwards with all his might.

When everyone was several dozen feet away, there was a sudden explosion.

A dark mushroom cloud soared into the sky. The tyrannical shockwave from the explosion swept out in all directions, shattering all the trees in the surrounding area.

This explosion caused everyone in Qiao Family to be incomparably shocked, as they all focused their gazes on the area in the backyard.

"What's wrong? Has the Wang Clan launched a sneak attack? " Qiao Dong who was drinking tea in his study suddenly stood up, pushed the door open and ran out with an ugly expression.

Everyone in Qiao Family immediately ran towards the backyard.

Not only the Qiao Family, even the commoners beside the Qiao Family were extremely shocked by the sudden explosion.

In the backyard of the Qiao Family, the smoke dispersed. Zhang Chao crawled up with a pitch black face, patted the dust off his body, and spat out a few mouthfuls of sand.

The others also stood up. Due to their speed, they did not suffer any injuries.

But everyone was dusty, as if they had come out of a coal heap.

"This... "What's going on?" In that moment, Qiao Dong and the rest rushed over, and when they saw the mess on the ground, their eyes twitched.

The anvil was blown to a faraway rooftop, and the four sheep cauldron fell to the side. There was molten iron flowing out of it.

A huge crater was formed on the ground by the explosion, and black smoke was continuously coming out from it.

"Ha, everyone is here?" Zhang Chao scratched his head awkwardly: "About this … Isn't it obvious that a man misses the hand and a horse misses the hoof? I failed once! "

"Huh?" Qiao Dong and the rest were perspiring profusely.

"Cough, in the process of refining, failure is a very normal thing. Even if it's your own Forge Master, you still wouldn't dare say that he had a 100% success rate in refining anything!" Zhang Chao pretended to cough, then clasped his hands behind his back and calmly said: "However, this time's explosion is indeed due to some of my mistakes, but I already know where the problem is. Calm down, everyone, there shouldn't be any problems next time!"

Everyone heard and nodded their heads. Zhang Chao was right, they knew that since Little Master was so confident, they would not say anything else. They were all filled with anticipation.

Zhang Chao first held up the Four Sheep Burning Furnace, checked the molten metal inside, and then searched everywhere for clues. His mind continuously repeated the process of refining just now.

What kind of mistake was it?

To be honest, he had no idea what was going on, so he could only search for the reason a little.

Sighing, he felt that he had been too proud just now. In the end, he had been too pleased with himself, which was why such a situation had occurred.

Although the Qiao Family had prepared three sets of refining materials for him, he couldn't possibly cause all of it to become a disaster!

Before starting refining anew, he first combed through it and searched for any clues that might have been involved in the forging process.

At this time, a burst of noise came from a place not far away.

"Master, you can't go in!"

"Scram, is there any place in Can City that I can't enter?" Following which, a domineering voice sounded.

Several servants of Qiao Family were pushed to the ground.

Following which, a tidily dressed middle-aged man, with an arrogant appearance, walked over with large strides.

His big mouth was curled up, and he strode out in a square manner with an extremely imposing manner, causing many Qiao Family people to frown.

"Where did this scoundrel come from, daring to trespass into my Qiao Family without permission, and still act so arrogantly?" A junior of the Qiao Family could not hold it in any longer and was about to roll up her sleeves to teach him a lesson.

"That was rude!" Qiao Dong promptly waved his sleeves, then walked forward and respectfully bowed towards the newcomer. He cupped his fists in greeting, "What kind of wind blew Master Zhao over here? Let my Qiao Family's humble house shine! "

"Hmph, Qiao Dong, I just passed by this place, and saw a violent explosion. Other people might not know why, but I understand, who is refining in your Qiao Family? It was even refined from an Earth grade or higher magical equipment, otherwise there would not have been such a violent explosion! " The man snorted and said arrogantly.

"Uh, Master Zhao is wise, indeed, my daughter invited a friend a few days ago, who bragged about herself as the Forge Master, and said that she can help us refine some small things, you should have heard that today, the enmity between my Qiao Family and the Wang family has reached the point of war, so …" Qiao Dong's head was covered in cold sweat as she unhappily explained.

"Never mind, I'm not interested in any of these!" The person waved his hand and leisurely said, "I am only interested in those who refine Qi. I wonder where this expert came from? To dare to refine Earth-grade magical equipment s, you must at least have the title of a Tri-Cauldron Forger, right? "

But when he saw the Zhang Chao who was deep in thought within a pile of trash, he could not help but be stunned.

There was even no need to talk about Zhang Chao's age. It could be seen with a glance, that he looked young and tender, and that he couldn't possibly be more than twenty.

"Should... Could it be him? " The newcomer was somewhat surprised.

"I won't hide anything from Grandmaster Zhao! It's this kid!" Qiao Dong did not dare to hide the truth.

"Oh? This is my first time seeing such a young Forge Master! " The person who came was suddenly interested. Ignoring the others, he walked towards Zhang Chao with large strides …
