The cave had returned to tranquility. The Earth Spirit Long River had dissipated, and those earth giants had now turned into nothing more than lifeless boulders.
Lin Fan sat cross-legged, gazing at the several materials before him, and began contemplating deeply.
Crafting weapons was indeed a profound art. Even the slightest variation could completely alter the original form.
A pitch-black, curved horn from a three-headed giant king lay there. Its tip was sharp, shimmering with a chilling luster, so intimidating that no one dared to touch it.
Beside it floated a mass of earth spirit essence, brimming with mysterious potential.
“How should I combine these?” Lin Fan mused silently for a moment before quietly taking out ten “Da Fang Ge” pills.
“Da Fang Ge should be useful. I’ll keep them.”
“This one’s toxic—such a merciless poison must also be kept.”
Looking at these items before him, Lin Fan gradually formed a preliminary plan. He then took out the Eternal Axe.
“This curved horn from the three-headed giant king is smooth and delicate on the surface, but lacks explosive power. It needs modification.”
Lin Fan picked up the Eternal Axe and began carving. His inspiration for the design came from the common screw, with its spiraling grooves. For Lin Fan, this was quite necessary.
As he completed the carving on the black curved horn of the three-headed giant, a sense of satisfaction welled up inside him. “Hmph, my craftsmanship is still top-notch.”
Sighing softly, Lin Fan suddenly felt a pang of bitterness.
Back then, the moment he awoke, he was forced into the identity of a scapegoat, enduring endless suffering. Just when he finally had the chance to enjoy life, the world seemed to conspire against him, bringing exactly the misfortunes he feared most.
When he stood at the peak of the Xuanhuang Realm, Lin Fan had thought he could finally relax and enjoy himself, only to be thrown into the Gusheng Realm.
Initially, he had heard that the Gusheng Realm was dangerous, but he still clung to a sliver of hope, thinking the danger couldn’t be that bad. Unfortunately, once he arrived, he realized just how perilous it truly was—dangerous beyond imagination.
“Strive. Rise.” Lin Fan encouraged himself inwardly before fully immersing himself in the weapon forging process.
“Heaven and Earth Crucible.”
Lin Fan tossed the carved curved horn into the Heaven and Earth Crucible. Then, with a flick of his finger, the earth spirit essence flowed in and entered the crucible.
He added ten “Da Fang Ge” pills into the crucible, which immediately exploded.
The “This One’s Toxic” divine pill followed closely, merging its medicinal properties with that of the “Da Fang Ge.”
“Forge the weapon.”
His current level of weapon crafting could be described as master among masters. At the moment of forging, the system interface displayed numerous options.
Endless types of weapons were listed, but none suited Lin Fan’s vision. He dismissed them all and proceeded to forge according to his own design.
“Buzz… buzz…”
The Heaven and Earth Crucible trembled, as if something major was happening inside.
Observing the changes within, Lin Fan felt a slight shock. At this rate, could it be that a world-shaking artifact was about to emerge?
In the past, forging was always a quick process. Why was this time taking so long?
“My expectations aren’t high. Just give me a divine weapon.” Lin Fan clasped his hands together, silently praying.
In the past, even an ordinary brick could be forged into a divine weapon. This proved that the system’s forging technique could produce miracles from even the most mundane materials—divine weapons could emerge even from waste.
Since it had taken so long this time, surely it was time for luck to strike.
“Explode! Let fortune’s goddess shine upon me!” Lin Fan shouted, filled with anticipation.
“Boom!”
The Heaven and Earth Crucible shook violently, then fell silent.
Lin Fan swallowed hard, staring at the crucible’s lid with a hint of nervousness.
If it turned out to be a useless item, all his efforts would have been in vain.
“With my skills, it should succeed.” Believing in himself, Lin Fan raised his finger and lifted the lid of the crucible.
Whoosh!
A blinding ray of light erupted forth.
“Ah, so bright!” Lin Fan covered his eyes, momentarily blinded by the intense glow.
“Could it really be, as I predicted, a divine weapon?” His heart brimmed with anticipation, for the light was simply too dazzling.
“Ding! Congratulations on successful forging.”
“Ding! Congratulations on forging a mercilessly terrifying weapon. Tier: Undetermined.”
“Hmm…” Lin Fan was slightly taken aback by the system’s notification. This situation seemed unprecedented.
As the light faded, Lin Fan finally saw the artifact he had forged, and his heart pounded with shock.
A dark bronze item, spiral grooves running along its surface, floated silently in midair. Its tip gleamed sharply.
“Please name it.”
Lin Fan swallowed again. Something about this weapon felt strange.
He needed to give it a grand and imposing name.
Judging by its shape, it resembled a drill bit. But calling it simply a “drill” felt too crude.
Eventually, Lin Fan settled on a name that perfectly suited this artifact.
“Feitian (Flying Heaven).”
“Ding! Naming successful. Bound.”
…
For Lin Fan, any artifact he forged would automatically bind to him, making it impossible for anyone else to claim. Thus, he was always quite casual about naming his creations.
He extended his hand. “Feitian, come to Master.”
He wanted to examine Feitian’s properties, which could only be fully understood upon physical contact.
“Ding! Congratulations on discovering Feitian.”
“Feitian: Forged from the curved horn of a three-headed giant king, earth spirit essence, Da Fang Ge, This One’s Toxic, and other treasures.”
“Special Effects: Merges with the earth, spins at high speed, breaches all defenses, inflicts unbearable agony on targets, and contains two buffs.”
Seeing this description, Lin Fan burst into loud laughter. He then hurled Feitian into the ground.
Feitian seemed to merge seamlessly with the earth, vanishing into it.
Lin Fan could sense Feitian swiftly spinning and moving beneath the surface.
“Fly!”
With a shout, Feitian, hidden underground and spinning rapidly, erupted upward like a streak of light, impossible to evade.
“Hahaha!” Lin Fan nodded with great satisfaction. “Excellent. Simply amazing.”
In future battles, he could hide Feitian within the earth, then, when the enemy was off guard, launch it upward at high speed, spinning like a whirlwind—striking like a devastating blow to the enemy’s weak spot.
No matter how powerful the opponent, they would still tremble beneath his might.
“Ah, I named it wrong. It should’ve been ‘Chrysanthemum Needle of Doom.’ But no matter, ‘Feitian’ is a good name too.” Lin Fan felt immensely satisfied, his heart soaring.
Indeed, he was a genius.
Only a true prodigy could conceive such an artifact. A true marvel.
“Hahaha…”
At that moment, the cave echoed with Lin Fan’s triumphant laughter.
With a flick of his sleeve, Lin Fan retraced his steps. Now that he had obtained the earth spirit, leaving this place was effortless.
Yet he still wanted to check on the situation between the three-headed giant king and the ancient clan’s commander-in-chief.
So much time had passed. He doubted they were still around, but not seeing it with his own eyes would leave him restless.
