The purpose of reinforcing the Array this ti was clear, mainly to more effectively conceal the fluctuations of Spiritual Qi. This would be ideal for use during his upcoming artifact crafting.
After all, he did not want others to glimpse the secrets and progress at a critical mont in the artifact crafting process.
After re-securing the Array, Xu Ping sat quietly in ditation within the secret chamber for three days and nights.
During this period, he imrsed himself entirely in a state of cultivation, striving to bring his mind and Mana into optimal condition.
Only when he was certain that his condition was perfectly attuned did he decide to comnce the important task of artifact crafting.
Xu Ping thodically arranged all the necessary items at the center of the secret chamber.
On the smooth floor, he carefully drew the Gathering Spirit Array; its lines flowed smoothly, and the runes flashed.
Around the Array, various rare materials and auxiliary instrunts were placed neatly.
Then, Xu Ping took a half-zhang long blood-red wooden strip from the Fla Prison Purple Wood and placed it at the center of the Array.
This wooden strip emitted a hot and intense aura of life, with a radiant glow that seed to have faint spiritual resonance waves.
Xu Ping quickly ford Seals with his hands, chanting continuously.
As the incantations ca forth, his face gradually glowed; soon, a layer of green light appeared and gradually beca more intense.
When the green light was strong enough, Xu Ping opened his mouth wide, and a thin, thread-like green Core Fla shot forth, directly onto the blood-red wooden strip within the Array.
With the appearance of this Core Fla, the temperature in the secret chamber shot up suddenly, as if one were inside a roaring furnace.
The surrounding Spiritual Qi, as though summoned by so powerful force, began to surge madly, converging toward the center of the Array.
For a mont, the Spiritual Qi roared, and the light flickered within the chamber.
The Core Fla flickered, and Xu Ping controlled the fla cautiously.
Under the tempering of the Core Fla, the wooden strip emitted a slight "sizzle," and a thin layer of blue smoke began to rise from its surface.
However, besides the smoke curling upwards, the wooden strip seed to show no other obvious changes.
Xu Ping did not show any sign of surprise at this.
After all, Fla Prison Purple Wood naturally lived in the searing magma secret realm and was extrely heat-resistant.
But, it wouldn’t be easy to completely refine it, even if it takes a while.
Xu Ping had long prepared for a protracted battle!
Ti passed quietly, and five days went by in a flash.
On this day, the blood-red wooden strip finally began to show signs of softening.
As the temperature continued to act, impurities inside began to be extracted bit by bit under the high heat, turning into wisps of black smoke that slowly drifted in the air.
During this process, Xu Ping was fully concentrated, and beads of sweat gradually covered his forehead.
He dared not relax in the slightest, constantly observing the changes in the wooden strip and adjusting the temperature and intensity of the Core Fla accordingly.
And so, over two dozen days passed.
Finally, the blood-red wooden strip was preliminarily refined.
By now, its texture had beco tougher, its surface glistened with a layer of crystalline luster, and its internal grain patterns beca increasingly distinct.
"The first step is complete!"
Xu Ping let out a long breath, then retracted the Core Fla from his mouth.
Although the first step was completed, he didn’t relax in the slightest because this step was not too difficult; the challenge lay in shaping it with blood essence!
After the preliminary refinent, Xu Ping did not rush to begin the next step imdiately.
For a month, he had continuously used Core Fla, with his spirit always in a state of high concentration and tension.
Even a Core Formation Stage cultivator like him found it exhausting.
So, he began to close his eyes and regulate his breathing.
...
Half a month later.
Having now recovered to his peak state, Xu Ping stood solemnly in front of the Array.
He ford a Magic Technique with a pinch of his fingers, restarting the Array. Then, he shot another mouthful of Core Fla onto the wooden strip suspended within the Array.
Under the continuous burning of the Core Fla, the wooden strip showed signs of lting.
Seeing this scene, Xu Ping imdiately bit his tongue, spraying a mouthful of blood essence precisely onto the refined blood-red wooden strip.
The mont the blood essence ca into contact with the wooden strip, it swiftly seeped in, rging with it as one.
Instantly, the wooden strip erupted in intense brilliance, and the dazzling red light filled the entire secret chamber, illuminating everything around as if subrged in a sea of blood, stunning and awe-inspiring.
Simultaneously, Xu Ping’s hands continually transford the Dharma Seals, chanting continuously.
With each Dharma Seal perford, the blood essence began to flow according to a specific trajectory within the wooden strip, gradually sketching the outline of a sword.
After a day and a night, this blood-red wooden strip finally ford into a sword embryo.
Although the sword embryo had just taken shape, it already exhibited extraordinary characteristics.
The sword’s body flowed seamlessly, an aura of sharpness coupled with heat swept through the entire abode.
"Shaping with blood essence is complete!!"
Feeling the intimate sensation emanating from the sword embryo, a hint of uncontrollable excitent flashed in Xu Ping’s eyes.
This most challenging and crucial step had finally been successfully overco.
However, Xu Ping still dared not relax in the slightest.
After all, the artifact was not yet completely crafted; one final step remained.
Then, Xu Ping began to add the various rare auxiliary materials he had prepared in advance, one by one, into the sword embryo.
In the process of rging these auxiliary materials, he continuously adjusted the attributes and intensity of the Core Fla to accommodate the characteristics of different materials, ensuring that each material perfectly integrated with the sword embryo.
