Chapter 384: Chapter 384: Lu Chen Starts Artifact Refining!

"Lu Chen, do you really not need your master watching by your side?"

Before starting the refining of the spear, Lu Chen asked Zhu Chongjiu to leave the cave dwelling, saying that he could refine it by himself.

But Zhu Chongjiu was somewhat worried, yet Lu Chen was more concerned that the spear spirit inside the Mysterious Iron Spear would be discovered.

That would inevitably bring trouble.

The spear spirit had secretly told him this, and he didn’t know what would happen when he re-refined the spear.

After all, Zhu Chongjiu was at the Core Formation Stage and could use his Spiritual Sense, so if the Mysterious Iron Spear showed any sign of anomaly, it would be easily detected.

"Master, let me calm my heart and refine it by myself first. If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll come and ask for your guidance then, how about that?"

Lu Chen said with a smile, "Besides, I was originally a Loose Cultivator. I’m afraid that when immersed in concentration, there might be some..."

"Alright, alright, I get it,"

Zhu Chongjiu too chuckled, saying, "You kid, always so full of concerns."

He understood Lu Chen’s point. As a Loose Cultivator who was used to fending for himself, it was natural to develop a cautious temperament, and Zhu Chongjiu certainly understood this.

Waving his hand, he took the initiative to walk out of the cave dwelling, and not only that, but he also opened the cave dwelling’s restrictions, preventing others from entering and possibly disturbing Lu Chen.

"Oh, right, I had said I would show Lu Chen around the sect, and I forgot all about it," Zhu Chongjiu said with a wry smile. It was true, he had never taken on disciples before, and having taken on a disciple for the first time, seeing Lu Chen seemingly very interested in Artifact Refining, he had really neglected rest and food these past few days.

"I’ll go and see how the eldest senior brother feels about this."

Zhu Chongjiu murmured to himself, then took to the air and flew toward the Enforcement Hall within the sect.

"He’s gone? Probably went to see the Great Elder, right?"

Lu Chen withdrew his gaze and guessed to himself as he saw Zhu Chongjiu leaving.

For the time being, the spear spirit absolutely could not be discovered.

Now that he was a disciple of the Casting Gear Pavilion, the elders might have some reservations, but he couldn’t be sure about some of the younger generation. Whether someone was being secretly instructed, he couldn’t determine.

Therefore, re-refining the Mysterious Iron Spear was also a way to quickly enhance his strength.

Lu Chen took a deep breath and once again used the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique, focusing on the pit of fire.

"Spear spirit, I am going to throw the Mysterious Iron Spear into it, you... are you okay with that?"

He held the spear with both hands and said in his mind.

"Master, it’s just Earth Fire, it shouldn’t harm me, right? Besides, you don’t know any profound Art of Refinement to trap me."

The spear spirit’s blunt words left Lu Chen speechless, but what it said was indeed correct.

If he knew the Art of Refinement, why would he have come to Casting Gear Pavilion?

"Then I’m going to throw it in now."

While energizing himself, Lu Chen also transformed all the Five Elements Spiritual Power inside his Dantian into Fire Spiritual Power.

At the same time, he also brought out the Spiritual Fire from within his forearm and placed it at the edge of the pit.

Refining the spear, practicing the Art of Refinement, and allowing the Spiritual Fire to absorb the fire energy from the place, he was doing three things without delay!

After that, he once again warned the spear spirit that if something was wrong, it should inform him early, and then he carefully placed the Mysterious Iron Spear into the refining furnace!

There was space inside the refining furnace; though the spear was long, it could be fully placed inside. Lu Chen used his Spiritual Power to cover the lid of the furnace, and then he executed the Fire Control Technique, drawing the Earth Fire from within the pit!

"Fire, rise!"

He muttered under his breath, reciting the Fire Control Principle silently. The fire energy that had been slowly circulating in the pit erupted out, beginning to heat the refining furnace!

The refining furnace was also a Magic Artifact and could be used to refine other Magic Artifacts. Through spells and Earth Fire, impurities could be removed.

Lu Chen was fully focused, not daring to blink an eye, and he also maintained a connection with the spear spirit.

Soon, he received some good news!

The impurities in the Mysterious Iron Spear were reducing!

Lu Chen felt joy in his heart and subconsciously activated the Hateful Heaven Pupil Technique to look into the furnace.

However, it was unclear whether it was the Pupil Technique that triggered the Earth Fire or agitated the refining furnace.

A red light suddenly flashed towards his head, as if intending to engulf him!

Lu Chen’s face changed drastically, and he quickly retreated a few steps.

But an even more shocking sight occurred. An even more majestic flame, like a fire dragon, burst out from the pit!
