I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 658: The Refining Is Complete! Need a Beating Before Leaving?
Previously on I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second...
Ao Zhan's face displayed even deeper admiration.
Having existed on this planet for countless years, the elusive masters who could forge medicinal pills and special materials were mere legends. Even this ancient cultivator, who had witnessed millennia pass, had never personally encountered such individuals.
Initially, the crafting blueprint for the [Space Certificate] was bestowed upon Lin Yi merely to ignite a flicker of hope, a pathway toward greater strength. The prospect of finding a master capable of crafting it was left entirely to the whims of fate.
What these three venerable figures had not anticipated was Lin Yi's considerable aptitude for crafting.
To be candid, Lin Yi possessed minimal practical experience in either alchemical or material crafting.
His understanding was primarily theoretical.
Yet, to accuse Lin Yi of reckless bravado would be inaccurate.
The mastery of crafting techniques is not acquired overnight.
This holds true even for Lin Yi himself.
It is through the crucible of repeated failure that the true secrets of the craft are eventually unearthed.
Lin Yi's bold undertaking was entirely dependent on his exceptional visual perception.
Whether it was the [Eye of All-Seeing] or the [Eyes of Golden Flame], both provided him with the ability to precisely ascertain the critical junctures in the crafting process.
Empowered by these two divine faculties, Lin Yi harbored the confidence to undertake the crafting of the [Space Certificate].
"Are you attempting to mock me, or is this some deliberate ploy? I've only been a professional for such a meager duration. Where could I possibly have found the time to delve into such intricate refining arts? I've merely heard whispers of their existence."
As he articulated these sentiments, Lin Yi's internal source power began to flow, and several flames, each distinct in hue, manifested and hovered around him.
Judging solely by their potent aura, each flame radiated immense power, accompanied by an unusual fluctuation that instilled a sense of unease. This disturbance signaled that the flames Lin Yi conjured were unlike those typically condensed by professionals through their own source power.
They bore the distinct mark of nature's raw masterpieces.
"Esteemed Master, this is no trifling matter. The item we are about to craft is the Star Core, the most vital component on this entire world. Should our crafting techniques prove inadequate, it would be far wiser to refrain from acting rashly."
"Otherwise, should this artifact be damaged, its replacement would prove exceedingly difficult to procure."
"Master, surely you cannot resort to such drastic measures as slaying others simply to secure passage to higher realms, can you?"
Ao Zhan implored urgently, attempting to dissuade Lin Yi from his immediate intention to craft the [Space Certificate].
To his astonishment, Lin Yi's response was imbued with an imposing and chilling resolve.
"The existence of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds is governed by the law of the strong preying upon the weak. If I, Lin Yi, possess the capability, then so be it."
"I simply refuse to believe that after obliterating all planets on the same plane as Blue Star, and seeing Blue Star's Planet Will absorb their essence, Blue Star cannot ascend to a higher plane."
With Lin Yi's declaration, any further discussion became superfluous.
Such unwavering determination rendered further words unnecessary.
Even with the assistance of various exotic fires, the crafting process still demanded a significant passage of time.
The arduous task of meticulously purging all impurities from the Star Core was no minor undertaking.
Beyond Lin Yi, it appeared no other individual possessed the requisite skill for this endeavor.
Indeed, even among the most accomplished crafting masters, such a feat was seemingly unattainable.
Seven consecutive days of sustained, intensely high-temperature flame emission, coupled with the absolute necessity of precise flame intensity control, was paramount. Any deviation, however slight, could result in the degradation of the materials, jeopardizing the ultimate success of the crafting.
For any ordinary individual, maintaining such a high-intensity output for seven consecutive days was simply an impossibility.
Let alone remaining perpetually vigilant to ensure perfect control over the flame's intensity during this continuous, high-exertion process.
Without the sustaining nourishment of the Immortal Fruit and the Immortal Law, Lin Yi would have found it impossible to achieve such a feat.
What astounded the three celestial dragons the most was Lin Yi's seemingly cautious demeanor throughout the intricate crafting process. Despite his apparent lack of experience, Lin Yi managed to exercise flawless control over each component during the forging.
Consider, for instance, those three Star Cores radiating a pristine white light. Following their perfect refinement, these three Star Cores became utterly translucent, devoid of any discernible impurities.
The emanatiing Power of the Primordial from them was extraordinarily potent.
This astonishing level of mastery completely redefined the three dragons' understanding of cultivation and crafting.
As for the remaining materials, they had already been expertly shaped by Lin Yi and expertly fused into a single, obsidian-hued disc.
Lin Yi, seated in a cross-legged posture, wielded the multicolored flames to meticulously guide the three Star Cores onto the disc, ensuring their secure integration.
"Is it complete!?"
As the three Star Cores were finally ensconced in a triangular formation, and the profound blackness completely enveloped their inherent transparency, merging seamlessly with the Star Cores, the crafting of the Space Certificate reached its culmination.
A formidable Power of Space faintly emanated from the completed artifact.
The visible spatial fluctuations were truly a mesmerizing sight. Lin Yi extended his hand, grasping it firmly. A peculiar sensation coursed through him, and in that moment, he truly felt the dominion over Blue Star."Master, have you truly achieved it?" Ao Zhan’s eyes shimmered with unprecedented reverence. Having existed for millennia, witnessing countless marvels and enduring immense shocks, Ao Zhan had never, in his long existence, encountered such a divine event. Lin Yi offered a slight smile, remaining silent. Moments later, a graceful figure descended. Startled by the disturbance, Xiyue hurried over at the earliest opportunity. Upon seeing Lin Yi unharmed, she immediately embraced him. "I knew you could do it. I’ve mostly handled the academy’s affairs for you." Despite Lin Yi’s hands-off management style, numerous critical matters within the academy practically required his sign-off. While the [Space Certificate] was being crafted, Fu Xi Academy was undergoing a reform of its reward system. With Lin Yi absent, Xiyue managed everything. "Very well, I can sense Ao Shu is on the verge of completing her transformation. Once her power is enhanced, we shall breach the plane and journey to the Hungry Ghost Dao plane." Even though he had reached a level where he could confront the Divine Envoy, Lin Yi had no intention of acting rashly. Much like the Great Saint before him, the eighty-one calamities were essential for achieving a perfect outcome. The planets within the Hungry Ghost Dao plane are not significantly more powerful than Blue Star, yet Lin Yi firmly believed their strength relative to Blue Star warranted a visit. Establishing a robust foundation and progressing with steady advances would allow for the breaking of constraints imposed by the laws of the All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, liberating humanity from the predetermined fate of being confined by celestial gods. "Uh, but there is something you must attend to personally." "It pertains to the chief position among the Ten Elites of Shenxiao; you have retained it, but the chief’s resources..." Oh, how could I possibly overlook that? Lin Yi felt a moment of self-reproach. Once he relocated to the Hungry Ghost Dao plane, the resources allocated via the Shenxiao ranking would cease to reach him. Moreover, considering Lin Yi’s current strength, was he truly in need of such resources?
