Omnipotent Husband System-Chapter 479: Grand master.
Hao Ren stood inside the refinery, watching Grandmaster Hephi forge a spear with his hammer. The technique was irrelevant to Hao Ren. In the Crescent Moon Empire there were only Master Level Artifact refiners, and they had various grades before reaching the peak of the Refining skills as a master.
So, ever since the two continents merged, the level of refining had also risen higher, however, the people had yet to break through to the Grandmaster realms heights. The techniques inside the nation were poor and the finesse was missing. So, Hao Ren was using his identity as a cover to learn more and more about the craft.
Watching Old Hephi he understood that to become the grandmaster one needs to incorporate the properties of an element inside the artifact, and while wind and fire were chosen for attacking artifacts, water and earth were perceived better for defence. The young man didn't mind the rest; he filtered out the information regarding the runes that were being cast upon the artifact.
He used his Yin and Yang eyes to note down all the big and small movements of the spiritual energy that were causing the elemental energy to gather inside the artifact slowly. After an hour, when Grandmaster Hephi finished refining, he said, "It might look like that I used spiritual energy but it was actually ink, spiritual ink that is manipulated by the spiritual energy."
The young man looked at Hephi in surprise, and tossed his heavy hammer to Hao Ren. The young man caught it carefully, and then after inspecting it he found that inside the hammer there was a needle that went through the surface of the metal as Hephi struck it, and it left behind a strain of ink inside the metal.
Hao Ren understood that it was a process similar to tattooing someone. He frowned and said, "Is this not unreliable?"
Hephi almost choked on air before he said, "Kid, what do you take this needle for? This is the most expensive part of a Grand Hammer. This tiny little speck of metal costed me nearly all my fortune back in the day."
Hao Ren clicked his tongue and asked, "So I am guessing that the trick to refine an artifact with elemental properties, is to gathering the impurities in a similar spot and when you tried to eliminate them from that side, you also used the chance to strike the needle inside to leave a ink strain, right?"
Hephi nodded and said, "Well, it is easy to sum up but tricky to execute."
Hao Ren shrugged and said, "Yes, I get it but still have to try if I want to be a grandmaster."
Hephi nodded, and Hao Ren suddenly asked, "Oh, what is going on with the guards watching everyone like hawks? The Kano family vanished, but how can they suspect everyone in the city?"
The old man sighed and said, "This is an intimidation tactic. From my source in the city guard I found that they have no evidence and no clue at all. The flames used in the massacre were so strong that they reduced everything to ashes apart from the wall where the confession was written. So, the investigation department has decided to pin this on an alchemist from far away lands who had some enmity with Grandmaster Kano."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "It makes sense after all, who would hate the Kano family like this. I heard that even a two year old was not spared."
Hephi sighed and said, "Well, this is how big families come to an end, by messing with someone they couldn't afford to handle."
Hao Ren nodded and said, "Well, I hope that it doesn't bother our work."
Hephi nodded, and after a few more questions, Hao Ren went back to his mansion and began to practice what he had learned in his exchange with the old Grandmaster.
Hao Ren was diligent, he first mastered the production of level-nine spiritual artifacts, and it took him seven days to master the process and achieve a stable and continuous flow of spiritual energy through the weapon.
Then he placed it all aside, and sat down in meditation to comprehend and find the path in his actions. He was calm and composed and the marks on his halo were growing at a speed visible to a human eye. Hao Ren was a simple person who wanted to live a loving life with his wife, but at this moment, it seemed as if some dreams had a high payment.
Another week passed, and Hao Ren assigned Xiao Yu to go to the market and buy materials that were required to make an ink. The shopkeepers noticed the same matter, and the prices of such herbs used in the inking process fluctuated.
Hao Ren was surprised to find out his handmaiden, Xiao Yu, was scolded by Hao Ren but relieved as well, because the shrubs were gradually drying up.
He spent a day refining powders on his hands using his spiritual flames and extracted the ground. When he was done preparing powders, Hao Ren decided that he would shift his focus to the next most important thing that was the Grand Hammer.
It was not easy to find one of the most precious artifacts that could be used to refine the artifacts that could change destinies. So the valium steel pin that is needed to pierce through the surface of the hot molten metals was not easy to find or buy. freёnovelkiss.com
Hao Ren frowned and he wanted to go back to his country for a grandmaster Hammer at home. When suddenly he sensed something and came over to check. He found himself standing in the chamber of commerce, where Lord Tang's old hammer was calm and stable. He looked at the hammer for a bit before he found that this thing was really a grandmaster refiner.
The techniques of Saint Tang San have been long lost, this was a public secret. Hao Ren sat down on the ground in the central hall, and his actions caught a lot of attention. Within an hour, many people were coming and going to the central hall acting as carrier pigeons, saying there is a new Master in the city who wants to perceive the techniques that the Saint might have left.
Gradually, Hao Ren had spent seven days and the crowd inside the hall, which was still following Hao Ren, had started to lose some hope. Some of them had left, some were about to leave, and some were still holdy though.
At this moment, a buzz rang out through the building.The people were shocked they hadn't expected to come across something quite like this. Hao Ren had really managed to perceive the Grandmaster hammer.
The 5 feet tall hammer was now shivering a little bit, Hao Ren was very quick to act. He had used his mind to perceive the crux of refining that Tang San stood for in his time. The resonance of the artifact increased with every passing minutes, and all the masters and grandmasters from around the city came over to watch the spectacle.
The young man spent another day meditating and when he stood up, he reached out to grab the shaft of the weapon, as he said, "I will repair you later and then I will let you come back here to wait for your master."
The hammer shivered and it slowly floated over to Hao Ren. The young man smiled as his fingers wrapped around the hammer shaft and his eyes sparkled with joy. Hao Ren stood up and realized that the weight of this hammer was so high that if an ordinary person wanted to take hold of it, they might not be able to budge it an inch.
Old Grandmasters all were watching Hao Ren, who was holding the weapon with one hand, and they all were thinking, "This young man sure is a monster."
Hao Ren then sensed the weight of the hammer and as he wished the weight of the hammer as he sighed and mumbled, "I wish you are as good as they all say that you are."
The hammer trembled before Hao Ren tried to sense it to make it enter the space ring, but that didn't work out. After a few minutes of scrutiny, Hao Ren found the small array engraved on the handle, and with a slight channel of the spiritual energy in this array, and found that the size of the hammer can be changed.
After he turned the hammer into something as big as his knife and headed to the reception counter. The people wanted to look at him and refine something with this hammer, but to shut them off, "This thing is so heavy that if I use it to craft something now, then that would be akin to blaspheming the art of refining, isn't that bad?"
The people nodded, and Hao Ren said, "Just give me a few days, I will handle refining someone with use, but if I will try my best. Thank you."
