Chapter 955: Chapter 256. The furnace exploded so quickly

Chapter 256

Then, an old man in white clothes ran out while coughing, constantly muttering to himself, ”Cough cough cough. Why did the furnace explode again? Jiuli clearly said this, so why didn’t it work?”

Mo Jiuli watched Mo Fei, who had stripes all over his clothes and a face covered in soot, while his head full of white hair had also been smeared with lines of black ash, and helplessly twitched the corner of his mouth...

”Elder Fei, what were you refining? How did the furnace explode again?” Mo Jiuli asked, speechless. Wasn’t this old man supposed to be an Eighth-grade Artifact Refiner?

Artifact refinement isn’t like pill refining; it doesn’t often result in explosions. At most, the end product becomes a defective item; it’s very rare for an explosion to occur during artifact refinement...

Besides, she hadn’t been gone for too long, had she? What on earth was this old man refining that led to an explosion so quickly?

”Ah, Jiuli, you’re back! I followed your instructions and tried to craft a dagger, but it had barely been a while, and this is already the third explosion. Why is that?” Mo Fei, hearing the voice and turning to see Mo Jiuli, immediately started asking nonstop.

At that, Mo Jiuli felt a headache coming on. He really wanted to ask if you’re truly an Eighth-grade Artifact Refiner. Your Artifact Refiner Badge couldn’t possibly be something you crafted yourself, could it, elder?

”Try to refine it one more time; I’ll watch,” Mo Jiuli said helplessly.

”Alright, alright, let’s go. I’ll refine it again for you to see!” Mo Fei said excitedly.

Mo Jiuli followed Mo Fei into an Artifact Refining Room, not the one he had run out from earlier—that one had been blown up and hadn’t been cleaned up yet...

It was also then that Mo Jiuli noticed, for the first time, just how many Artifact Refining Rooms Elder Fei had arranged in a long row in his courtyard. Seeing that the doors to three other rooms were open, with the scent of burnt materials wafting out, Mo Jiuli understood that it was the aftermath of the old man’s recent refining endeavors...

Upon seeing the fourth room Mo Fei led her into, Mo Jiuli roughly estimated that there were about twenty Artifact Refining Rooms in total. It seemed this old man blew up furnaces quite frequently! Witnessing this scene, Mo Jiuli grew even more skeptical of Mo Fei’s qualifications as an Eighth-grade Artifact Refiner...

As Mo Fei walked into the room, the Artifact Refining Room was simple: one Artifact Refining Furnace surrounded by various cultivation materials laid out haphazardly. Many were rare materials indeed—the Elders of the Mo Clan certainly lived differently...

”Alright, you may begin refining,” Mo Jiuli said.

”Okay,” Mo Fei responded, having heard her.

Then, taking some refining materials, he went over to the Artifact Refining Furnace and began his work. Mo Jiuli glanced at the materials he had selected and, seeing no issues, remained silent, merely watching Mo Fei refine...

Perhaps because Mo Jiuli was there, Mo Fei appeared extra focused, meticulously following the steps of melting, purifying, and so on...

He was still set on making a dagger this time around, slowly shaping it with soul power as he envisioned its form...

Mo Jiuli could see that Mo Fei was indeed an artifact refiner; from start to now, his steps were practiced, each one executed as if he had done them a thousand times over...

This was clearly the work of someone who had been obsessed with refining for years. However, she couldn’t understand why he would cause the furnace to explode. Given Mo Fei’s choice of materials and the dagger he was crafting, the process should have been straightforward. Yet Mo Jiuli still didn’t understand why Mo Fei’s furnace had exploded, so she continued to watch closely...
