Chapter 35: Repairing a Spirit Artifact
Maybe it was because he was standing closer to the fire crystals, or maybe it was because of something else, but Liu Yan’s forehead was now covered in sweat.
He watched as Qin Lie crouched on the ground and heated the Hexagonal Shield on top of the fire crystals until it was crimson red. He also felt an inexplicable tension beneath his heart, and even his fists were clenched tightly away from people’s eyes.
“It’s broken anyway, and there is also the chance that we might not make it out alive. Might as well let him give it a go, you know?” Liu Yan said with feigned calmness.
“You’ve also gone mad!” Gao Yu stared frostily at Qin Lie with a chilly expression. “Have you seen such a young Artificer before? Do you think that a fellow who could fix a Common Grade Five spirit artifact be this young? I don’t understand why you took this risk at all; this is a two thousand contribution point spirit artifact, and you’re letting a guy like him ruin it? How utterly ridiculous!”
Liu Yan could only smile bitterly upon hearing his words. He also thought that he had been too rash and could not help but feel a twinge of regret inside.
The growth of every artificer was a long and arduous path. In general, only powerful forces could afford to raise them.
Practicing Artifact Forging just used up too many spirit materials, and a small force simply could not afford it at all. To raise an artificer, there needed to be complete dedication and devotion, accumulated time, and countless heaps of spirit materials…
The Ling Family obviously did not meet those requirements, and Qin Lie… was just too young.
No matter how you looked at it, it was impossible for Qin Lie to be an outstanding Artificer. No wonder Gao Yu thought that he had gone mad.
“All of you, please be quiet!”
Ling Yushi’s brows were slightly furrowed, her face bright red from the light of the crimson flames burning on the fire crystals. Listening to the noisy crowd around her, she could not help but yell at them because she was worried that they would distract Qin Lie from his task.
The crowd quieted in response. Countless pairs of eyes settled on Qin Lie’s back, and everyone of them had faces that spoke of their shock and amazement.
“Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!”
The flames of the fire crystal were wild and fiery, and they heated the Hexagonal Shield until it was completely red. The turtle-shaped pattern occasionally glowed bright red under the sweltering heat, and it looked incredibly beautiful.
“Zzt Zzt!”
Under watchful eyes, strings of pure white spirit energy seeped out of Qin Lie’s right forefinger as he pointed it towards the turtle pattern on the shield from a distance. A beam of white spirit energy immediately stabbed the top of the shield’s pattern.
There was a wisp of mind energy mixed inside the spirit energy, and in an instant, he had made a connection with the shield!
He didn’t need to touch the artifact directly with his fingertip. With spirit and mind energy alone, he could clearly see the two spirit diagrams inside the shield.
The mind energy began to gradually spread out like a web until it covered the two spirit diagrams inside the shield and locked the twisted parts of the network in place.
Then, the spirit energy rushed out rapidly and gathered at the sections of the network where it was a clustered mess.
Qin Lie’s closed his eyes abruptly, more focused than he had ever been before. Feeling the twisted section of the network with his consciousness, he began steadily increasing the input of spirit energy and controlled them to flow towards the critical areas.
He did not act hurriedly, and instead threw himself into feeling the interior of the artifact and its invisible details…
The Hexagonal Shield was propped up with four pieces of stone as the fire crystals continued to burn it on the inside. Even the front part of the shield, that was used for defending, was slowly turning red.
Qin Lie pressed closely against the fire crystals and the shield, and the spirit energy on his forefinger was like a bright white graver resting on top of the turtle pattern.
While maintaining this posture, he began to sweat profusely until his clothes were entirely drenched, almost as if he had just been fished out of a pool.
Time slowly trickled by…
His consciousness gathered around the shield’s components themselves; he didn’t dare to relax for even an instant as he focused entirely on feeling the subtle changes of the components themselves!
Under the fire crystals’ continuous heating, the solid components inside the shield were finally starting to soften, almost seeming like they were about to melt on the spot.
This is it!
As if the floodgates had suddenly opened, the long suppressed spirit energy abru
