Chapter 200: The Molten Fire Formation
Chapter 200: The Molten Fire Formation
Mo Hua's spirit lifted, and he added a Spirit Gathering Formation to the core structure of the First-Rank Molten Fire Restoration Formation.
"Elder, do we have any Spirit Stones?" Mo Hua asked.
"Spirit Stones?" Elder Yu was perplexed but followed Mo Hua's instructions and placed a handful of Spirit Stones within his reach.
Mo Hua positioned the Spirit Stones on the Spirit Gathering Formation.
This formation could refine Spirit Stones, absorb spiritual energy, and transform it into spiritual power.
According to the Formation Tome, when the First-Rank Restoration Formation was activated, the Spirit Gathering Formation would automatically refine the Spirit Stones, converting them into spiritual power to drive the formation, which would then be conducted through the formation's core.
Mo Hua then located the node of the formation's core and connected to it with his spiritual sense.
In that instant of successful connection, all the formation patterns of the entire Restoration Formation appeared clearly in Mo Hua's sea of consciousness.
With a mere thought, he could control the entire formation.
Mo Hua's spiritual sense located the Spirit Gathering Formation within the Restoration Formation and attempted to activate it with his spiritual sense.
This was the "opening" aspect of the formation core's control over spiritual energy.
The Spirit Gathering Formation flashed with light, and the Spirit Stones upon it released a misty spiritual energy. This energy followed the formation patterns and seeped into the Restoration Formation.
Through his spiritual sense, Mo Hua also perceived the influx of pure spiritual energy into the formation core, flowing along its pathways.
"So that's how it works," Mo Hua realized.
He intervened with his spiritual sense, using the formation core to direct the flow of spiritual power, guiding it all into the First-Rank Molten Fire Formation.
As the spiritual power entered, the First-Rank Molten Fire Formation suddenly burst forth with fiery red light, followed by raging flames that billowed out.
It was like a gigantic firework blooming in midair, exuding immense heat and intense flames.
Mo Hua was startled, as were Elder Yu and Master Chen.
"That fire..." Master Chen muttered, incredulous.
The flames ignited at the courtyard's fireplace, and although Mo Hua was at a distance, he could feel the heat on his cheeks.
Mo Hua reconnected with his spiritual sense to the formation core and slightly reduced the spiritual power. As expected, the furnace fire diminished.
Mo Hua then deactivated the Spirit Gathering Formation.
With the supply of spiritual power cut off, the furnace fire gradually lessened until it flickered and went out.
Open and close, control the spiritual energy!
This meant that the formation core of this First-Rank Molten Fire Control Restoration Formation was functional!
Mo Hua was overjoyed. With the formation core working, this complex Restoration Formation was more than half successful.
"Is the formation complete?" Master Chen asked eagerly, his eyes shining with anticipation.
"We can try assembling it first," Mo Hua replied.
Although the Restoration Formation wasn't entirely painted yet, the basic structure was in place. They could assemble the Refining Furnace and try refining a spiritual artifact to test it.
This way, they could also discover any potential issues early on.
If there were no problems, Mo Hua would just need to fill in the remaining formation patterns.
Full of enthusiasm, Master Chen hurried out, calling for Big Pillar and several other Qi Refining disciples to help.
Together, they reassembled the large Refining Furnace.
The formation patterns of the entire Restoration Formation now harmonized with the Refining Furnace.
The Molten Fire Formation was positioned on the inner wall of the Refining Furnace, providing the perfect source of fire.
The Spirit Gathering Formation was located at a special furnace mouth, allowing Spirit Stones to be placed inside. It could then absorb and transform their energy into spiritual power.
The node of the formation core was situated at a knob adorned with a pair of cranes, providing control over the furnace fire.
"As expected of a standard First-Rank Refining Furnace; every aspect of its harmony with the formation has been considered," Mo Hua nodded in satisfaction.
Elder Yu grabbed another handful of Spirit Stones and tossed them into the furnace from the side, where they were stored on the Spirit Gathering Formation.
"Excellent!" Master Chen exclaimed, his face lit up with excitement.
Elder Yu heaved a sigh of relief and smiled.
Master Chen circled the Refining Furnace, then moved closer to feel the heat of the furnace fire. He couldn't help but exclaim, "What a wonderful fire! As expected of a First-Rank formation!"
With such powerful flames, they could even attempt to refine first-grade spiritual artifacts.
Mo Hua smiled and said, "This fire can get even stronger!"
Master Chen was taken aback, "Even stronger?"
Mo Hua controlled the formation with his spiritual sense, maximizing the Spirit Gathering Formation and channeling all the spiritual power to the Molten Fire Formation.
At the same time, the Molten Fire Formation patterns glowed a bright red as they received the spiritual power, and the furnace fire became even more intense. Even from a distance, one could feel the scorching heat.
Master Chen was awestruck.
The fire was incredibly powerful! He had seen other First-Rank Refining Furnaces before, but none of them were this large or had such fierce flames.
"So, this is the power of a First-Rank formation..."
The red firelight reflected in Master Chen's eyes, and he muttered in a daze.
"Master Chen, let's try refining something," Mo Hua suggested.
Master Chen snapped out of his reverie and took out an iron rod from his storage bag, placing it into the furnace fire.
Soon, the tip of the iron rod turned bright red.
Master Chen retrieved the rod and hammered it a few times with an iron hammer. The rod easily bent like a noodle, taking on a new shape.
Master Chen's excitement grew. Indeed, as he had expected, the fire was exceptionally strong, stronger than any Refining Furnace he had ever seen.
The refined iron was now much easier to shape and forge.
Moreover, the quenching process was significantly shortened, which would greatly improve the efficiency of artifact refining and result in higher-quality spiritual artifacts.
Master Chen was extremely satisfied.
Mo Hua deactivated the Spirit Gathering Formation, and the furnace fire gradually diminished and went out.
Now that they had tested the fire's effectiveness, there was no need to keep it burning constantly, especially since they were consuming valuable Spirit Stones to fuel it.
Elder Yu watched the Refining Furnace with a pleased expression.
Master Chen, too, couldn't take his eyes off it, eager to start refining artifacts with this new furnace.
He had never used such an excellent Refining Furnace in his entire life...
"Master Chen, is the furnace working well?" Mo Hua asked.
Master Chen praised, "Wonderful! It's truly remarkable!"
Mo Hua was also delighted and said, "Let's wait for the furnace to cool down before dismantling it."
Master Chen was taken aback, "Dismantle it?"
Mo Hua nodded.
"Why?"
"The formation isn't complete yet."
"Oh." Master Chen understood, "You need to finish the formation patterns, right?"
"Yes, there's still another Molten Fire Formation to paint," Mo Hua said.
Master Chen thought he had misheard.
Another Molten Fire Formation?
Although he didn't understand formations, he knew that the Refining Furnace relied on the Molten Fire Formation for its fire.
The fact that they had ignited the fire earlier indicated that there was already a Molten Fire Formation inside.
"How many Molten Fire Formations are there in this furnace?" Master Chen asked weakly.
"Not many, just two," Mo Hua replied.
Just two...
Master Chen was bewildered. He asked again, "Are they both First-Rank?"
"Yes, they are," Mo Hua nodded.
Master Chen's heart skipped a beat.
Two First-Rank Molten Fire Formations? Then how intense would the fire of this Refining Furnace be?!
