Chapter 108: The Difficulties of Artifact Refinement
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The magical art was complex, and he had to maintain it for an hour. Li Ming could immediately feel how difficult the task was going to be.
He had obtained the [Yin Fire Bead Chapter] from Liu Mengyun and it was used to refine the yin fire bead he obtained from demons.
Ignorance could sometimes be the most terrifying thing.
Li Ming did not even consider whether or not he could refine the yin fire bead with his current cultivation. He simply followed the method in the [Yin Fire Bead Chapter] and carefully began to refine a yin fire bead.
Mysterious symbols continuously shot into the stalagmite fire and penetrated into the yin bead.
However, whether it was the stalagmite fire or the yin bead, they did not experience any changes.
As time passed, fine beads of sweat began to seep out of Li Ming’s forehead.
The consumption of spiritual energy was just too much!
At the rate at which it was currently being consumed, he would soon be completely exhausted.
If his spiritual energy was completely exhausted, then the yin bead would be destroyed.
When he thought of this, Li Ming could not help but think of the signboard in the shop that sold yin beads at a high price.
He could not help but wonder if there were actually people who were willing to spend so much on yin pearls. The more he thought about it, the sadder he felt. It was as if there were many crystals floating right in front of him, but they only got further and further away from him.
shit!
This damn [Yin Fire Bead Chapter] was simply full of loopholes! What was going on?
Li Ming was anxious, angry, and unwilling!
Although his life was not under any threat this time, losing out on so many crystals felt like a sharp dagger was cutting through his body.
If he could not refine the yin fire pearl this time, he would run to Liu Mengyun’s place and have a good talk with her.
He still did not know what was going on, but he was sure that he did not misinterpret the refinement method.
However, the current situation was completely different from what was described in the [Yin Fire Bead Chapter]. The [Yin Fire Bead Chapter] said that he would have to last at least an hour, but there was not much spiritual energy left in his body.
Could it be that his cultivation was just not high enough?
In the end, he still felt unwilling. He could only grit his teeth and hold on for as long as possible! He could not allow himself to just let this yin bead be ruined.
He suddenly remembered that when he was refining pills, he used his supreme sense to observe. Therefore, he carefully injected a trace of his supreme sense into his body.
The spiritual energy consumption in his body decreased a lot in an instant. However, even with how it currently was, he would not be able to last long enough!
Li Ming gritted his teeth and separated another wisp of his supreme sense to carefully control a tiny wisp of spiritual energy.
This small wisp of spiritual energy was guided into the spiritual vein under his feet. Without this trace of supreme sense, he would not even have the strength to control this wisp of spiritual energy.
Just those series of hand seals alone were enough to make him vomit blood. However, Li Ming could multitask.
It currently felt like his head was split into three parts. It was a rather unbearable feeling. After a while, Li Ming felt a sharp pain!
Li Ming gritted his teeth and held on!
He used all his strength to make the wisp of spiritual qi circulate in his body, making it circulate faster and faster.
As he moved, the spiritual qi circulated faster and faster. In the end, it actually turned into a small whirlwind. There seemed to be a force under his feet that attracted the whirlwind, and the surrounding spiritual energy was slowly converging into the whirlwind.
Li Ming had never tried this method before, but now that he had crystals in hand, he could only bite the bullet. Li Ming had come up with such a risky idea when he was at his wit’s end.
The spiritual energy under his feet flowed faster and faster. Gradually, streams of spiritual qi were absorbed into his body.
The spiritual qi that was absorbed into his body quickly merged with the small whirlwind. The whirlwind then grew larger and larger. Then, with a terrifying speed, it rushed towards Li Ming’s dantian.
Chi!
Li Ming could not help but gasp. The ball of stalagmite fire floating in front of him trembled violently and was about to collapse.
He felt as if his foot had been pierced by a steel needle. The acupoint at the center of one’s sole was one of the most important acupoints in a person’s body. However, he had never used this acupoint to absorb any kind of spiritual energy. Now that there was so much flooding in through it at once, how could he not feel pain?
However, for the sake of crystals, he could endure it!
With some unwillingness, Li Ming kept circulating the spiritual energy in his body to accelerate the absorption of spiritual qi.
After the heaven and earth spiritual qi entered his body, it had to undergo a period of tempering before it finally became a part of his own cultivation.
The purer the spiritual qi, the more powerful it would be and the more one could fluidly control it with one’s will. It would not affect one’s personality in any way.
However, he could not care less right now. No matter how much spiritual qi he had, it was still a force that could at least alleviate his current predicament.
The current him was like a hungry ghost who had not eaten meat for ten years. As long as there was a trace of spiritual qi, he would absorb it without hesitation.
With the continuous influx of new spiritual energy, he was slightly relieved.
As for the resulting yin fire bead, he could not be bothered with it any longer. It would be good as long as he could succeed.
Li Ming was angry and annoyed. Refining a yin fire bead was such a painstaking process. His legs were in pain, his supreme sense was divided into three, and there was also the pain of the impurities in his body tearing apart his meridians.
Why must he suffer so much, all because of his love for money…
Li Ming was a little surprised that he was still in the mood to mock himself in such a situation.
A person’s body had to maintain a certain balance. If he was not careful, it would be destroyed, and all his efforts would be in vain.
Therefore, he endured the pain and tears and tried his best to maintain the stability of his body.
In the stone room, Li Ming was like a whirlwind. The surrounding heaven and earth spiritual qi gathered towards him like a tide.
In front of his body, a stalagmite fire was burning brightly.
Li Ming’s clothes fluttered in the wind, while bean-sized beads of sweat never stopped on his face.
The spiritual qi in the room could no longer withstand his crazy absorption and was completely absorbed by him. Only a trace of spiritual energy continued to flow from the ground and into his feet.
His feet seemed to have been scalded by a hot iron. If one looked closely, one could see that his feet were spasming non-stop.
When he finished the last part of the magical art, he finally could not hold on any longer and fell to the ground.
He was so exhausted that he could not even lift a finger. His body was like a frog whose muscles had been drained, and his limbs kept twitching.
As soon as he fell, he let out a miserable cry. The pain of his flesh being torn apart, the pain of his supreme sense being damaged, and the bone-piercing pain from his feet all made him realize how terrible the situation was.
With a loud scream, Li Ming forced himself to stand up and stumbled to pick up the yin fire bead from the ground.
The originally grey yin bead was now like a piece of crystal clear glass that had been burned. There was a faint white mark within, like a cloud floating in the air.
It was extremely beautiful!
Li Ming’s eyes revealed an intoxicated look. He could not bear to let go. He felt that all the pain he had suffered was worth it. He did not know how powerful this yin fire bead was, but looking at this beautiful bead, how could he bear to test it?
He would definitely treasure it heavily.
Just as he was about to get up, he cried out in pain and fainted on the ground..
