Inside the Celestial Craft Cave, Earth Fire surged fitfully within the Profound Iron Furnace, casting the entire cavern in a flickering, uncertain light.
The moment Xu Yunfan stepped into the Artifact Refining Room, the crimson Flame Marrow in the Earth Fire Pool suddenly churned, surging into the Weapon Casting Furnace. The clamor of CLANGS and BANGS was incessant.
Zhan Yan, who was in the middle of forging, didn't even turn his head. The Heavy Hammer in his hand crashed onto the anvil with the force of a thunderclap. Yet, the scattering sparks froze abruptly three feet from Xu Yunfan, as if halted by an invisible hand, the fine points of light dissipating in midair like tiny embers.
"Master!"
Xu Yunfan's voice was soft.
This was the master who had truly guided him onto the Martial Dao; naturally, he held him in the highest regard.
Xu Yunfan gazed at the mottled stone walls of the Celestial Craft Cave, his heart filled with emotion.
