The Artifact God stared at the sword with rather wide eyes, moving slowly closer toward it.
"May I?"
Alex nodded and handed over the sword for her to hold.
The Artifact God took it and was immediately amazed that it was rather cool to the touch. "I was expecting it to be blindingly hot. Did it cool already?"
"Yes," Alex said. "The only heat there now is the Yang heat. Though it doesn't release much at all."
The woman nodded. "I can sense that. It's not necessarily a good thing, though it's not a bad thing either." She focused on it for some time before slowly nodding. "The spirits are quite weak, huh? They need to grow before they become proper spirits."
Alex nodded. "I'll make sure to feed everything I can into the sword."
"I'm sure you can determine what to do on your own," she said, concentrating back on the sword. "The Qi lines came out nice. Actually, they came out quite well."
"I would hope so," Alex said with a dry laugh. "I had to give up so much, after all."
