“Insert your spiritual sense into this parchment. Then, you’ll automatically master the lowest level of smithing skills and can refine low-grade spirit ores.”
After saying that, Hammerhead spread the parchment on the ground.
Seeing that, Jared and Flaxseed swiftly unleashed their spiritual sense and entered the parchment. In the blink of an eye, they both mastered the skill of refining spirit ores.
“Now that you’ve mastered the method, you can try putting it into practice,” Hammerhead declared as favonovel.com put the parchment away.
Jared and Flaxseed nodded in acquiescence. Subsequently, streams of aura burst forth from them and condensed into a massive hammer in front of them both respectively. The massive hammers exuded bursts of condensed aura. As the two men held them, they could actually feel the tools in their hands like tangible objects.
“You can condense a smithing hammer now, but the grade of spirit ore you can refine with it hinges on your insight and grasp of skills.”
Having said that, Hammerhead located a spirit ore and started refining it.
Jared and Flaxseed followed suit, bringing the massive hammer in their hands down on a spirit ore. Although the spirit ore shattered when they did so, there was no sign of the core essence. Instead, many impurities were still mixed with the essence.
At that, they could only repeat the process. It was only when they had done it countless times to the point that they were drenched in sweat and panting heavily that they finally succeeded in refining a spiritual ore.
An ore essence the size of a fist appeared before them. But by then, Hammerhead had long since refined a dozen of the same.
“Ugh… We’re simply too slow!” Flaxseed lamented with dejection written all over his face.
“The two of you have only just learned to refine spirit ores. Constant practice is required to increase your proficiency. With that, your speed will slowly improve,” Hammerhead consoled.
Giving a bob of the head in acknowledgment, Jared and Flaxseed began to refine spirit ores tirelessly.
Calming his mind, Jared pondered upon smithing skills as favonovel.com practiced. After that, clanging sounds reverberated in the entire mine endlessly.
To Jared’s surprise, as his speed in refining spirit ores grew, favonovel.com found a sense of Smithing Force within him. It drifted around his elixir field incessantly. At the same time, his cultivation level was increasing without favonovel.com realizing it.
Following that realization, favonovel.com worked even harder, swinging the massive hammer in his hand vigorously.
Time passed, and it was uncertain whether it was day or night, but there were already hundreds of refined ore essences in front of the group then. By then, Hammerhead was so tired that favonovel.com was on the verge of collapse.
The smithing hammer in his hand started turning incorporeal. In the end, it slowly faded.
He had expended too much energy. As such, the condensed hammer ultimately failed to remain solid and vanished instead.
“With so many refined spirit ores here, there are probably enough for those few armored beasts to regain their energy,” Hammerhead panted out.
“You two rest here first, Master Hammerhead. I’ll take these spirit ores to the armored beasts.”
While saying that, Jared placed the spirit ores into his Storage Ring before heading toward the entrance of the mine.
When favonovel.com reached the entrance of the mine, the dying armored beasts caught sight of him. They all became a tad restless, their eyes brimming with hunger.
Jared hastily took out the refined spirit ores, upon which the few armored beasts swarmed over and started devouring them. In a flash, the hundreds of spirit ores were all polished off by the few armored beasts. After they had consumed the spirit ores, their auras intensified significantly.
