"Thank you senior brother for wanting to compete with Wang Shi of Sky Fire Peak in the way of smelting tools. Have you heard of it?"

"Of course I've heard of it. Senior Brother Xie is the genius smelter genius of our Heavenly Head Peak's bloodline. How could he care about the disciples of the Heavenly Fire Peak? He has absolutely beaten Wang Zhen to a pulp."

"That's right, last time Zhao Shan and Wang Zhen fought to repair the magical equipment. I never thought that this trash, Zhao Shan, would actually lose to Wang Shi of the Sky Fire Peak. He has really thrown our Heavenly Head School's face away."

The Heavenly Arts Sect, Li Huo Valley.

"Five hundred jin of fine iron, fifty jin of copper, ten jin of sky gold sand, one Fire Crystal, refined into a low-grade Flying Sword."

Xie Gang pointed to the two identical smelting materials in front of him and said, "In this competition, other than the thousand lower grade magic tools mentioned earlier, the only other reward is the materials." The person who loses the competition must admit defeat in person. At the same time, his crucible and his refined flying sword must be treated as part of the prize and given to the victor with cupped hands. "

Wang Zhen nodded his head in agreement.

He did not like the reward of a thousand low grade immortal stones. However, the opponent's flying sword and furnace represented the dignity of a smelting master, and they could not afford to lose.

"Good, Junior Martial Brother Wang is indeed straightforward. This competition will be held in five hours. When the time comes, those who are unable to produce a low-grade flying sword will automatically admit defeat."

Xie Gang's face was full of confidence as he made a inviting gesture.

"Please."

"Please."

Wang Shi's mind stirred. He took out the medium quality magic tool, the Four Symbols Mantra Cauldron, and said, "Thank you, senior brother. This way please."

"Alright."

"Five hundred kilograms of Refined Iron is just enough to refine a low-grade magic tool into a flying sword. "When the material is strong, it is easy to fold, and when it is paved with copper, it can be made to be both hard and soft."

"The fusion of the Heavenly Gold Sand into the flying sword can increase the sharpness of the flying sword. The Blazing Fire Crystal is a Fire Elemental Stone which can be used to refine the Fire Elemental Sword Art."

Wang Shi recalled the four types of smelting materials as well as the process of smelting them.

"Tsk, tsk. Wang Shi of the Sky Fire Peak is definitely going to lose. The smelting furnace is only a medium-grade magic tool, and Senior Brother Xie's Fire Dragon Cauldron is a high-grade magic tool."

"That's right. Even if Wang Zhen's smelting techniques are on par with senior brother Xie's, there is still a gap in the smelting furnace. The magic tools that are forged are not as good as the ones refined by senior brother Xie."

"Pui!" "Wang Zhen from the Sky Fire Peak, how could his smelting techniques be on par with senior brother Xie? This is an insult to senior brother Xie."

Wang Shi couldn't help but reveal a teasing smile, ignoring the mockery and ridicule from the Heavenly Head Peak disciples.

However, he also saw the Fire Dragon Cauldron in front of Xie Gang. It was crimson red in color and had four fire-spitting Five-Clawed Golden Dragons at its feet. It was definitely a high-grade magic tool.

Wang Zhen could not help but feel a little envious. "It seems that I'll have to buy a top-grade smelting furnace at some point in time. At the same time, smelting the furnace will also be a lot easier."

Wang Zhen's right hand moved and formed a seal, entering the Four Symbols Crucible.

At this moment, without an Earth Vein Array, it was impossible to ignite the Earth Vein's fire. The smelting tool relied entirely on its own strength.

Boundless flames surged out of the Four Symbols Crucible, covering the entire interior of the Cauldron and beginning to warm it up.

"It takes the most time to extract 500 Jin of refined iron into iron essence. During the entire smelting process, it also becomes extremely important. I absolutely cannot carelessly extract it over and over again. I have to do it in one go."

Wang Zhen silently warned himself. With a flick of his mind, he threw five hundred Jin of Refined Iron into the Four Symbols Mantra Cauldron.

At this moment, Wang Zhen couldn't help but glance at the distant Xie Gang. He saw Xie Gang throw 500 Jin of fine iron into the Fire Dragon Cauldron and pour his spiritual energy into the Fire Dragon Cauldron.

"Whew."

Seeing this, Wang Zhen could not help but inwardly sigh in relief. "You, Xie Gang, only have a high-grade smelting furnace and a Fire Dragon Cauldron. If you had another Flaming Sun Primordial Fire or something like that, that advantage would be for you to be completely wiped out."

Along with the continuous operation of the magic formation within the four cauldrons, endless flames enveloped the five hundred Jin iron essence. In just a few seconds, the five hundred Jin iron essence was turned into a puddle of liquid iron.

After the 500 Jin of refined iron was completely turned into molten iron, the temperature inside the Four Symbols Crucible no longer continued to rise.

Wang Zhen knew that the impurities in the refined iron would slowly melt due to the same melting point. These impurities began to converge due to the same properties as each other. The more impurities accumulated, the easier it was to identify them.

"Wave Flower Spell."

Wang Zhen's right hand formed a strange seal and entered the Four Symbols Mantra Cauldron, causing the refined iron to turn into molten iron, like a clear lake, rippling outwards.

An invisible force was acting on the impurities in the liquid iron formed by the refined iron. The impurities that were beginning to converge were repelled by this force.

"Eliminate."

The Spiritual Energy on Wang Zhen's right hand went through the mouth of the Azure Dragon and entered the Four Symbols Magic Cauldron. A ball of scarlet red Flame Concealment Stone the size of a grain of rice was kicked out.

Wang Zhen looked at the Flame Concealment Stone with satisfaction. He was quite satisfied with the purification process this time.

"Everyone, look! The Flame Concealment Stone that Senior Xie extracted from the Refined Iron is so big, it's actually three times bigger than Wang Zhen's. Just the ability to purify the material is not something Wang Zhen can compare with. It seems that Senior Xie is going to win this time."

"Of course. Senior brother Xie's method of removing impurities is much more profound than Wang Zhen's' Wave Flower Tactic '. Victory is guaranteed. It depends on the magic tool that senior brother Xie crafted. It's much stronger than what Wang Zhen can produce."

"The Sky Fire Peak has not fallen to such a level. If Brother Xie still loses this fight, then there is no justice left in the world."

Wang Zhen had the urge to curse. The members of the Heavenly Head Peak were like the Third Uncle and the Sixth Wife in his previous life; they could not stop blabbering.

"Damn, isn't a spiral much cleaner than a Wave Flower Spell? Is there really a need to make such a big fuss over nothing?"

Wang Zhen thought viciously in his heart, "Often, the final winner is the one who will be laughed at."

At the same time, he lifted his head to look at Xie Gang, only to see Xie Gang beaming with happiness as he pointed at the Flame Concealment Stone. His lips moved slightly.

Although there was no sound, it was only by the shape of his mouth. Wang Zhen knew that Xie Gang was saying that he had won for sure this time.

"Humph!" "First, I'll let you have a little bit of fun. At that time, you'll only feel extremely sad."

Wang Shi retracted his gaze and started to slowly raise the temperature of the cauldron. Some impurities that were hard to detect with one's soul consciousness began to melt and converge when they reached the melting point.

"Wave Flower Spell!"

Wang Shi continued to cast the Wave Flower Technique again and again to remove the impurities that had already been melted and gathered.

Within the Four Symbols Cauldron, the molten liquid formed from five hundred kilograms of refined iron started to shrink at a speed visible to the naked eye. All kinds of impurities were removed from the refined iron, and all kinds of materials were used to make these impurities.

He had completed the extraction of the 500 Jin of Refined Iron. The remaining iron essence inside the Four Symbols Cauldron had formed into the shape of a sword, which was about a foot long.

"Thank you for your victory. The process of extracting the Refined Iron is nearing its end. The amount of impurities extracted by Wang Zhen is obviously lower than that of senior brother Xie. "

"Senior brother Xie's purity is higher than Wang Zhen's, this is an obvious advantage. There was also copper, heavenly gold sand and fire crystals to be extracted. "When the time comes, this advantage will only grow bigger and bigger. In the end, Wang Zhen would only be able to catch up to him."

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for being my Heavenly Head Peak's genius in the art of smelting artifacts."
