Chapter 1570: Resolving A Major Issue With Little Effort
Translator: CKtalon Editor: CKtalon
"What did you say? Me seeking help from the likes of you?" Songyue looked at Yi Yun as though he was mad .
She had endured through immense difficulties in the cultivation of the Crystal Refinement Technique by tightening her belt to spend money on incomplete heritage . She began training from ore slag and, with perseverance and consistency, she finally accomplished her present-day achievements . And now, a guy who was new to the Chaos Heavens and knew nothing was making such a bold statement?
"If you are that impressive, I guess joining our team has really been a burden on you," said Songyue sarcastically as she glared at Tie Mu . What sort of person did Tie Mu acquaint himself with? It was no wonder he offended Cang Gu . Such a person with grandiose aims but puny abilities would be the first batch of cannon fodder to be eliminated in the Chaos Heavens .
Tie Mu was at a loss as to what to say . What had gotten into Yi Yun's mind? Why was he spouting words that made less and less sense?
"Get to work! Ignore him!"
Songyue gave the command . This was the second time she was beginning the crystal refining . The Crystal Refining Furnace was filled with ore, but this time only about half of what her previous attempt entailed . This was because Songyue had expended too much energy previously, so refining that much was already a challenge of her limits .
Taishan, Tie Mu, and Chuan went through the prescribed order by injecting their energies into the Crystal Refining Furnace as Songyue began forming the marks .
Although Songyue did not believe one bit of Yi Yun's words, she was especially careful when forming the marks . Her speed at forming the marks also slowed down drastically because she could not afford to fail .
These few days were critical for her future!
Master Duanmu was recruiting apprentices, an extremely rare opportunity for her! Faced with intense competition, Songyue had little chance, so she needed to do well .
If the furnace really exploded, not only would she have to pay the high cost of compensation, but her hopes of becoming Master Duanmu's apprentice would be nothing but a dream .
Songyue was fully focused as she entered an ethereal state . Her eyes were only filled with the ores and the Crystal Refining Furnace .
As such, Taishan, Tie Mu, and Chuan seemed to face a test . Songyue was giving her all, so they did the same .
As time passed, Taishan and Tie Mu's bronze skin was covered in sweat . Yet, they they could not afford the time to wipe it off .
Yi Yun watched by the side idly . He could tell how focused Songyue's attitude towards the crystal refinement was and that she was a diligent woman . Unfortunately, many a time in the martial world, the outcome of putting in immense efforts would still be failure .
Yi Yun's perception was locked onto the piece of ore inside the Crystal Refining Furnace that had been tampered with . The ore's array formation was very intricately designed, allowing it to perfectly hide itself inside the cauldron's flames . It was already beginning to accumulate its energies .
The heat from the flame, the Yuan Qi from Songyue, and the energies from the Chaos Ores were seeping into the concealed array formation bit by bit . The energy it consumed was extremely minute, something that Songyue could not detect at all .
Once the concealed array formation had gathered the sufficient energy, it activated . It was not very strong and, in fact, very weak, but it was like a drop of water that dripped into a pot of boiling hot oil .
The outcome… was like the spurting of oil!
"Boom!"
The cauldron flames turned fervent as the tongues of flames began sweeping . The entire Crystal Refining Furnace began to quiver as the ores inside jumped vigorously like frying beans .
"Huh!?"
Songyue's expression changed . What's happening!?
At that instant, she sensed that the energies gathered in her marks were turning chaotic . The Yuan Qi in the ores were like horses that had escaped their reins, galloping freely in the Crystal Refining Furnace .
"Ka Ka Ka!"
One Chaos Ore after another began to crack!
The cracks constantly widened, and once they completely cracked, the energies would be released like a flood . Then, there was only one outcome—the explosion of the furnace!
Just the mere thought of a furnace explosion drained the color from Songyue's face .
The next few days were critical for her future . She absolutely could not afford such a huge mistake .
However, why did the energy turn chaotic? Songyue had been very careful with every step she took in her second crystal refinement process . She believed that she did not make any mistakes, and even if the refinement failed, it would not have led to the explosion of the furnace . This was definitely abnormal .
Songyue naturally remembered what Yi Yun had said . He said that refining the ores would result in a furnace explosion .
At that moment, Songyue was high strung . She used all her energy to control the chaotic energies within the Crystal Refining Furnace, so much that she did not even dare turn her head to look at Yi Yun . All she could do was look at him through the corner of her eyes . Her face was filled with anxiety .
Tie Mu and company had also sensed something amiss . Their energies were connected to the Crystal Refining Furnace's array formation, so they could clearly sense the chaotic energies inside .
Once it exploded, not only would it destroy the expensive Crystal Refining Furnace, but it would also injure them!
And with the next mining expedition happening shortly, any injuries now would no doubt bring them one step closer to death .
"Senior Sister Songyue, what's happening!?" Taishan asked anxiously . If he had not been taken care of by Songyue usually, he would have abandoned the furnace and fled .
"Senior Sister Songyue!" Tie Mu said as well, while looking towards Yi Yun .
All of this had really developed as Yi Yun had said…
"Yi Yun… You… You knew that the Crystal Refining Furnace would… explode?"
Songyue managed to split a wisp of her psyche energy with great difficulty as she sent Yi Yun a voice transmission . She could not bear the consequences of an exploded Crystal Refining Furnace .
"You went through such great efforts to divert your attention and send me a voice transmission, only to say such pointless words to me?" said Yi Yun in an unhurried manner .
