Super Evil Emperor

Although the Daoist Huo Long was not well versed in array formations, because of the needs of the smithing, he knew quite a few array formations.    

    

Among them, the 'Nine Palace Absolute Killing Array' was one of the most powerful, once it was activated, all the people inside would be killed, it was a very powerful killing array, and also the one Yang Xie chose to set up in the Yang Family.    

    

However, in order to set up this formation, one needed the assistance of a few killing weapons, as well as a sword as the core of the formation.    

    

Therefore, Yang Xie only thought of studying the smithing technique for a while, and wanted to refine some artifacts during that time in order to set up the 'Nine Palace Absolute Killing Array'.    

    

Fortunately, Feng Tao had acquired a large amount of smithing materials from the 'kunling bag', otherwise, he would have to go around to gather some more.    

    

It had to be said that the Path of Refining was truly as vast and profound as smoke.    

    

Even though Yang Xie had inherited the Daoist Huo Long's legacy throughout his entire life, he wouldn't be able to comprehend it completely in a short period of time.    

    

But after half a month of comprehension, Yang Xie had a rough understanding of smithing's methods, and began to try refining some artifacts.    

    

Today, Yang Xie sat crossed legged in his room. With a casual wave of his hand, a few Spirit Stone appeared in front of him. These Spirit Stone formed a mysterious pattern and formed a simple 'Eight Trigrams Fire Formation'.    

    

Because there was no 'furnace' for the smithing, and because there was no furnace for the smithing, Yang Xie could only use the Spirit Stone to set up this array so that the smithing could use it.    

    

As the array formation was formed, an invisible wave of heat spread out.    

    

Yang Xie's eyes flashed, following the smithing technique passed down in the Daoist Huo Long, his hands formed a seal, and a gold light flashed around his body.    

    

In that moment, all the Spirit Stone around flashed with a light, and a blazing flame rose up from the array, the scorching Qi spread out in all directions.    

    

With a wave of his hand, a piece of inky black black iron the size of a fist was thrown into the blazing flames. After burning for a long time, the iron ore gradually turned red and showed faint signs of melting.    

    

Following that, Yang Xie waved his hand again, and a fist-sized piece of 'fine iron ore' was thrown into it. Not long after it was thrown, it turned into a silver liquid.    

    

With a thought, Yang Xie activated the silver liquid with his invisible hand and poured it all over the 'Black Ink Iron', wrapping it in a silver ball.    

    

At the same time, the Mysterious Sword Qi in Yang Xie's body revolved, and a gold light suddenly emitted from the top of his head, condensing into a large iron hammer. The hammer shone with a gold light, and after a moment the hammer dropped down, smashing onto the silver ball.    

    

'Clang 'a sound that sounded like a hammer striking hot iron rang out. The silver ball's surface became flat. Under the huge force, the silver liquid slowly seeped into the pitch black metal.    

    

The hammer then turned into a blur, landing on the silver ball like a storm.    

    

"Clang!"    

    

"Clang!"    

    

"Clang!"    

    

The sound of metal colliding with metal resonated throughout Yang Xie's room like the morning bell and evening drum. Luckily Yang Xie had already greeted the people from his residence beforehand, if not he would have already attracted the attention of everyone.    

    

Gradually, as the hammer smashed down, the silver solution seeped into the inky black 'Black Black Iron' and slowly extended. It had a faint sword-shaped appearance and its color had also changed to a silver-gray.    

    

When the iron piece was successfully refined into a longsword, the golden hammers above Yang Xie's head suddenly stopped, and the hammering sounds also disappeared.    

    

In a flash of golden light, the hammer slowly disappeared, while Yang Xie's hands continued to change, holding onto the seal, a profound seal was formed on his chest, forming lines of golden light that landed on the longsword, following that, with a flash of golden light, the seal slowly disappeared into the sword, while the longsword shook slightly and released a weak light.    

    

As the number of seals increased, the light emitted by the longsword also became more and more intense. It was extremely dazzling.    

    

However, just at this moment, Yang Xie suddenly formed the wrong hand seal, and in the next moment, the light on the longsword immediately disappeared, turning into an ordinary longsword, as though it had lost its consciousness, and with a 'ding' it landed on the ground, refining had failed.    

    

Yang Xie thought to himself that it was a pity, the smithing's process was done in one go, if there was any mistake in the process, it would result in failure.    

    

Furthermore, the materials used would no longer be usable anymore and would only be discarded like scrap metal. This was also the reason why very few sects were willing to raise smithing Masters.    

    

After all, in order to become a smithing Master, one would need to consume a large amount of resources to temper their techniques, and among them, there were only a small amount of finished products, so the majority of the materials would be wasted. In the future, as the smithing's methods improve, the materials required would become even more valuable, and to cultivate a true smithing Master, the amount of resources required would be terrifying, and not even any sect could afford it.    

    

Of course, Yang Xie currently had a large amount of smithing materials, so he didn't really mind if he failed once.
