After receiving news about the main material, Bexia left the trading power because he realized the value of the soul flower. After all, the name of a rare magical medicine is not just for show; it represents its extreme scarcity.
As for whether the information provided by the middle-aged man is true or not, Bexia didn't think too much about it. Regardless of its authenticity, he would know the answer once he saw it for himself.
After leaving the trading power, Bexia started to acquire the other materials needed to make the Concentration Talisman. After spending nearly five million gold coins, Bexia acquired ten sets of all the materials except for the main material, the soul flower. As long as he obtained the soul flower, he could make the Concentration Talisman anytime.
Early the next morning, an expected but unexpected person appeared in front of Bexia. It was Juye from the Hidden Dragon Workshop. Her purpose for coming here was obvious: Bexia's custom weapon was ready for collection, and she came to notify him to pick up the warblade.
"Thank you, Sister Juye, for informing me!" Bexia politely expressed his gratitude.
"No problem, it was agreed upon beforehand!" Juye said, but her gaze kept shifting towards Christine. She couldn't help but feel that there was something strange about the girl standing in front of her, giving her a feeling similar to the reverence she felt for the sword in her family.
"What's wrong?!" Bexia also noticed this and couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing, just remembered some things!" Juye snapped out of it and awkwardly said. It was impolite to stare at someone like that the first time they meet.
"Let's go! I'll take you to get your weapon." Juye turned and said.
Following Juye back to the Hidden Dragon Workshop, this time she led Bexia through a side door and descended into an underground tunnel. Strangely, the underground here was not damp at all. On the contrary, as they walked further, they could feel intense heat. When they saw Juhua, Bexia was shocked by the scene before him.
It was a sea of fire!
Yes, it was a sea of fire. The heated magma flowed continuously, scorching the cheeks with the hot air. Several thick chains extended from the surrounding stone walls, suspending a small platform above the magma. Juhua stood on the platform.
"How about it? Impressive, right? This is our ancestral forge. By harnessing the power of the earth's fire, the success rate of forging can be greatly increased!" Seeing the surprised expression on Bexia's face, Juye bragged proudly.
"Impressive. Being able to build a forge in a place like this!" Bexia sincerely exclaimed.
"Hehe! Let's go, Grandpa is calling us!" Juye smiled and then stepped onto the iron chain connecting the suspended forge. Although it was placed on the magma, the iron chain didn't feel hot at all. On the contrary, it felt somewhat cold. But the metal that could be used in such a place must be extraordinary.
The huge chain was the bridge connecting the suspended platform. Bexia followed Juye and walked towards it. At this moment, Juhua was stirring the furnace. A faint shadow of the warblade was visible inside, along
"Bexia, you're here!" Ju Hua's expression seemed a bit excited, but Bexia also noticed the fatigue on his face and the lack of the elegant demeanor he had before. He seemed transformed into a dockworker unloading cargo.
"Thank you, Master Ju Hua."
"It's just a mutual benefit, and forging a great weapon is the greatest honor for us as blacksmiths, isn't it?" Ju Hua waved his hand and continued, "This weapon can be said to be the best-quality one I have ever forged in my life. It was forged entirely with champion-level materials. Now, come over and drop a drop of your blood into the forge so that I can finish crafting this warblade!"
Bexia nodded and followed Ju Hua to the forge, understanding that this effect would only occur with champion-level equipment. Once his blood was added, the weapon would bear his mark. Except for those with a direct bloodline connection, no one else could fully unleash the weapon's power. Even those with a direct bloodline connection could not fully unleash its complete power.
This special condition only occurred with champion-level equipment and was called Bloodline Branding!
Bexia's blood fell onto the warblade in the flames, but it did not evaporate under the high temperature. Instead, it mysteriously permeated into the warblade. Suddenly, Bexia felt a faint connection between himself and the warblade in the forge.
"Now comes the final step!" Ju Hua approached, rolling up his sleeves to complete the last forging steps.
He used his magic to lift the warblade out of the forge, and a dark hammer appeared in his hand. Astonishingly, as he raised the hammer, the once frail Ju Hua grew half a meter taller. His previously thin body was now filled with large muscles, making him look decades younger.
"clang, clang, clang!" Each strike of the black hammer on the warblade revealed cracks, not on the whole warblade but just on the outer layer.
More and more cracks appeared under the hammer, as black substances peeled away, revealing the deep blue parts of the warblade. In the scorching hot space, a chill gradually spread. Even small ice crystals formed on the forging table, which should have been melted quickly by the high temperature.
"clang, clang, clang!"
The sound of the hammer persisted. From the edge of the warblade to the tip, Bexia couldn't remember how many times Ju Hua had struck. When the final strike happened, a radiant blue light slowly emerged, and a cold wind suddenly spread out. This time, not only did ice crystals appear on the forging table, but the entire platform resisted the heat, not getting instantly roasted.
"It's done!" Ju Hua couldn't contain his joy in his voice. He grabbed the warblade and removed it from the debris.
The completed weapon was about 1.8 meters long, with forty centimeters of blade at the front and an embedded magic crystal in the middle. The main body was forged from the spine of a sea dragon beast, and the entire weapon was cast from the icy cold iron. The power of the ice element formed a small range around it. Anyone who entered this area would be affected by the cold air.
"Here you go!" Ju Hua threw the warblade to Bexia and continued, "This is a sacrificial weapon with a domain. You give it a name!"
"A name, huh?!" After catching the warblade, Bexia could feel the immense power inside, along with a very comfortable feeling, all thanks to the bloodline imprint.
"Let's call it 'Hidden Dragon Cold Star'!"
