Ten Blood Refining fragments suddenly hovered in midair under Shi Feng's control. The blood qi swirling around the broken blades grew denser and denser. Before long, the thick blood qi flowed out from the broken blades, and the ten fragments turned to flying ash at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just under five seconds, the ten Blood Refining fragments had completely disintegrated into dust that scattered across the ground. However, ten streams of dense blood qi gathered in front of Shi Feng, forming a vivid red triple-layered magical array.
"It worked! Success!" Shi Feng looked at the formed magical array, unable to suppress a grin.
The triple-layered magical array grew more complex with each successive layer. The first layer alone was two to three times more intricate than an intermediate-tier magical array, and each subsequent layer was more powerful than the last.
Although the three layers were clearly separate and independent — constructed from entirely different runes — together they gave off an unmistakable sense of unity.
As the magical array took shape, a beam of blood-colored light shot out from within it and pierced directly into Shi Feng's brain.
In an instant, streams of information flooded into his mind.
Forging Molten Gold Stone Design — one of the Twenty-Eight Blood Refining Chapters created by the War God. It could be fused into any main weapon to fully unlock the weapon's latent potential. The stronger the Blood Refining secret technique the wielder had mastered, the greater the effect of the Forging Molten Gold Stone.
"Now this is a real windfall!" Shi Feng's expression grew slightly excited as he processed the information flooding his mind.
Although what he had obtained wasn't a high-tier Blood Refining secret technique — merely a common one — it was the rare Forging-type Blood Refining technique.
Within the Divine Realm, Blacksmiths were broadly divided into three categories.
The first type focused on crafting weapons and equipment, capable of producing peak-tier armaments.
The second type specialized in support items, primarily manufacturing armor plates, whetstones, and similar goods.
The third type centered on enhancement, specializing in bolstering weapons and equipment — items like magical gear could be strengthened through their methods.
Among the three, the design schematics for the enhancement type were the rarest. Moreover, many enhancements were temporary, making this the least cost-effective category on paper — yet it was simultaneously the most sought-after by major powers.
The reason was simple: enhancement-type items were relatively easy to craft, boasted high success rates, required short production times, and could be mass-produced on a large scale. They had the widest market appeal, which made them a favorite of every major faction.
Blacksmiths who could learn enhancement-type forging techniques were treated like prized treasures by the great powers — catered to and pampered like royalty.
Although all Blood Refining secret techniques fell under the second and third categories, fewer than five people in the entire Divine Realm had truly mastered a third-type forging technique.
Shi Feng had never expected to obtain a third-type Blood Refining forging technique.
After his brief excitement, Shi Feng carefully reviewed the specific details of the Forging Molten Gold Stone.
The more he read, the more shocked he became.
"No wonder the great superpowers and Blacksmiths in my previous life went absolutely crazy over the three high-tier Blood Refining secret techniques. If just the Forging Molten Gold Stone is this powerful, then obtaining one of the three high-tier techniques would truly let you fight above your tier." Shi Feng stared at the Forging Molten Gold Stone's effects and couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment.
The Forging Molten Gold Stone could only enhance a main weapon, but it didn't matter whether the weapon was forged from metal or was something like a staff — any of them could receive a single permanent enhancement.
Normally, such a thing would have been impossible for items crafted by Blacksmiths. But the War God had turned the impossible into reality, turning the impossible into potential…
