Without the slightest rest, Ding Tiechui immediately threw himself into the new experiment. He seemed not to know how tired he was. He kept trying and failing all night long, but Li Xuan could see that every experiment was a success.
There has been progress, especially in the last test at dawn. The Hammer of Creation has been able to firmly compress the blue mist to the edge of Yuntie, forming a faint blue light. Obviously, success is not far away.
"Huh..." After the fifth failure, the sun also rose. Ding Tiechui finally exhausted his energy, collapsed on the ground, and soon fell asleep.
Liu Li could not open her eyes for a long time and fell asleep leaning against the wall. Only Li Xuan was energetic and helped put out the fire before leaving the workshop to have breakfast.
Ding Tiechui slept until dusk. After waking up, he drank a large pot of wine and ate half a pork leg. After wiping the oil stains from the corners of his mouth, he said to Li Xuan: "Tonight, it officially begins!"
Ebony wood, ice elixir, the melted black iron soul, and the dragon shadow gem, priceless materials were neatly placed on the workbench, while Li Xuan and Liu Li were driven out.
Li Xuan also knew that last night was just a test, and today was the real forging. If he watched from the sidelines, it might distract Ding Tiechui.
At such a critical time, if you are distracted, the consequences will be disastrous.
Li Xuan and Liu Li simply sat at the door of the workshop, bought some wine and side dishes, and chatted while eating. Occasionally they would listen to the sounds inside and guess what stage the process was at.
At midnight, Liu Li fell into a deep sleep, and Li Xuan was still pouring himself a drink. His energy was quite good, not to mention how he could sleep at this time.
Drinking alone was boring, so Li Xuan quickly focused on the runes and began to wonder about the weirdness in them.
The power on the Hammer of Creation obviously also comes from the runes. The runes from the outer world and the spells handed down from the universe and the fairy world may actually come from the same power system. Li Xuan was stunned by his own thoughts.
However, more and more evidence shows that this power system did exist a long time ago, and may be the source of magic. This conjecture makes Li Xuan's blood boil.
If he wants to become the strongest monk, he must uncover its secrets.
All he can do now is connect the clues he has on hand, and the few runes on the Hammer of Creation are the breakthrough point.
Li Xuan was thinking about the magical functions of those characters, and suddenly remembered something.
When he killed Lei Qiankuang, he once snatched a pamphlet from him. He has been very busy since then and only read it hurriedly a few times without studying it in detail.
However, there was something in the booklet that caught Li Xuan's attention. Several paragraphs in it seemed to be related to the characters.
Li Xuan took out the booklet and flipped through a few pages, and sure enough he found those paragraphs.
It records Lei Qiankuang's understanding of magic, which also involves the application of runes, and even mentions using the effects of runes to enhance the power of magic weapons.
Li Xuan hurriedly took out Lei Qiankuang's belt and bracelet, and sure enough, he found several small runes on the inside. Each rune was like lightning. Although it was crooked, it concealed powerful energy.
"It turns out that he has already studied runes and made considerable progress."
Lei Qiankuang's research results were very useful in opening up Li Xuan's thinking. He summarized the known experience, coupled with a few pages of ancient book fragments obtained from Sima De, and probably had a clear clue in his mind.
Although Lei Qiankuang had done some research, he probably had too little information at hand. Apart from making some changes to the bracelet and belt, there was no other result.
This was also a great help to Li Xuan. He began to think about it. After the staff was built, he would show Lei Qiankuang's research results to Ding Tiechui. Maybe he could add thunder and lightning attack methods to it. That would be quite powerful.
What a killer weapon.
Li Xuan was busy studying, and before he knew it, a glimmer of dawn appeared in the eastern sky.
"Its daybreak?"
Li Xuan raised his head, feeling that he still had something to say, and only then did he realize that the sound of work in the workshop had stopped long ago.
Li Xuan wanted to knock on the door and ask Ding Tiechui how he was doing, but he was afraid of disturbing his work, so he could only suppress his curiosity.
Ding Tiechui didn't let him wait long. The door of the workshop suddenly opened, and Ding Tiechui appeared at the door with a smile on his face.
"How about it?"
Li Xuan asked expectantly.
"Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
Ding Tiechui's eyes were red, and he could tell at a glance that he had spent too much energy.
He walked out of the workshop tiredly, fell on Liu Li's body, and started snoring instantly.
Li Xuan walked into the workshop and his eyes suddenly lit up.
An exquisite staff lay quietly on the workbench. The appearance was extremely luxurious. The black staff seemed to be flowing with black brilliance. It was low-key and gorgeous. The dragon shadow gem was firmly embedded in the black iron.
The top is dark and gorgeous, flowing with purple light.
What moved Li Xuan the most was that the entire staff exuded a cold aura, which made people shudder.
Li Xuan walked over, stretched out his hand to hold the staff, and immediately felt a cold feeling in his palm. A chill penetrated into his body, spinning around in an instant, making him feel that the blood all over his body was about to freeze into ice.
“Incredible.”
Li Xuan raised the staff and looked at it carefully under his eyes. There was no part that was not perfect or that he was not satisfied with. Ding Tiechui's skills were truly amazing and there was no way he could do anything better than this.
Li Xuan really wanted to test the power of the staff right away, but he still held back. The idea he had last night was echoing in his mind, and he wanted to implement it immediately, but seeing Ding Tiechui looking so tired, Li Xuan thought it would be better to talk about it at night.
.
After sleeping for a whole day, Ding Tiechui woke up. Just like last night, he added a lot of wine and meat, and then he regained his energy.
"How about it? My skills are pretty good, right?"
Ding Tiechui proudly asked Li Xuan that when he was not forging, Ding Tiechui was a very cute barbarian. Like other barbarians, he had a reckless and flamboyant personality.
"It couldn't be better."
Li Xuan sincerely praised him and said that he had been handling the staff all day long and had adapted to the cold. Now he felt that the staff was like his outstretched arm, and his whole body had become one with the staff.
.
"Tch..." Liu Li took a sip of wine disdainfully, but she was obviously telling the truth, because since she woke up, she couldn't take her eyes off the staff. She even forgot to ask Li Xuan for the leftovers of the Black Iron Soul.
.
"Hey, this is my life's masterpiece. If Huo Peng sees it, he will be jealous to death."
Ding Tiechui took a sip of wine and his smile became even brighter.
