The Refined Obsidian Dragon returned to the workshop several hours later with a leather pouch filled with materials.
He tossed the bag before Yuan and said, "If you can craft a treasure while using half of the materials in there, I'll consider you worthy."
Yuan grabbed the bag and poured all of the materials out. There were twenty-one materials in total, and he didn't recognize any of them.
However, instead of panicking, Yuan smiled and muttered, "Interesting. This will be fun."
He suddenly sat before the materials, grabbed one of them, and started inspecting it in silence.
"..."
The Refined Obsidian Dragon's eyebrows twitched at Yuan's actions, and he sneered inwardly, 'At least he isn't completely incompetent.'
After spending several hours examining every single material there in great detail, Yuan closed his eyes and began doing mental simulations. "What's he doing?" Long Yejun asked the Refined Obsidian Dragon. Despite being a blacksmith himself, he didn't understand Yuan's actions.
The Refined Obsidian Dragon narrowed his gaze at Yuan and pondered for a moment before responding, "I believe he's doing mental stimulations. He's basically crafting the treasure inside his head right now." freewebnσvel.cøm
"What? You can do something like that? I have never even heard of this until today." Long Yejun couldn't fathom crafting treasures inside his mind.
"It's possible, but it's extremely difficult to achieve since you need to know the materials perfectly, and you also need to be incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in blacksmithing." The Refined Obsidian Dragon clenched his fists in frustration as he spoke.
'Mental simulations? Hahaha! Even I cannot do mental simulations! There's no way he's doing it properly! This is just a waste of time!' he mocked inwardly.
A few hours later, Yuan stood up and said, "Okay, I am ready to craft the treasure. Do you have a hammer I can borrow?"
The Refined Obsidian Dragon grabbed an old hammer and tossed it to him.
Yuan looked at the worn hammer with a slight smile and said, "It'll only make you look worse if I pass the test with this half-broken tool."
"Here, you can use mine." Long Yejun retrieved his personal hammer and offered it to Yuan.
However, he shook his head, refusing to accept it.
"Thanks, but I don't need it."
He walked to the anvil and controlled the materials from afar with his Qi Manipulation, throwing all of them into the furnace. "What the…?" Long Yejun's eyes widened at his bizarre actions.
"Hahaha! What the fuck is he doing?! How can he throw all of the materials in her at once?!" The Refined Obsidian Dragon burst out laughing.
They were taught to deal with one material at a time, so Yuan's actions made him look like a complete fool who knew nothing about smithing.
"I can't believe I actually thought he was competent even for a second! He had me fooled in the beginning!"
Yuan completely ignored the Refined Obsidian Dragon's loud mockery and focused on the materials inside the furnace.
A few days later, Yuan retrieved a single piece of material from the furnace. This material had no impurities and was perfectly refined.
When the Refined Obsidian Dragon saw this, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
