Chapter 6.3 - Ice and Snow Goddess's Sigh

"This... Thisss..." Hua Tian showed an excited expression. He took the Ice and Snow Goddess's stone and felt the intense cold it emitted. He couldn't help but exclaim, "This is an extremely high grade ice gemstone! Little Fatty, where did you get this from?"

Nian Bing glanced at Zha Ji before saying, "I have always had it with me, but I don't know where it comes from."

Zha Ji looked at him, slightly astonished. "It was always on you? How come I haven't heard about that from you?"

Nian Bing replied, "Teacher, all I know is that my training speed, while practicing magic, is faster when when I use this gemstone. You also haven't asked me about it, so I never told you. Senior, is it suitable to be embedded in the knife?"

Hua Tian gradually closed his eyes to sense the surge of spiritual nature emitted by the Ice and Snow Goddess's stone. His voice wavered a little as he said, "Yes, it is definitely suitable. The fact that they had called out to each other proves that they are suitable. God! Do you really want to help me accomplish my goal by giving me such a good material? I can finally craft a knife that will be able to seize the heavens. To think that I, Hua Tian, am about to craft such a knife. I have long awaited for this day to come. You two, follow me!"

Hua Tian's body figure flashed as he dashed out of the room. Zha Ji glanced at Nian Bing only to find that Nian Bing was staring at him, at a loss of what to do. "Let's go! It looks like your luck is not bad."

When they arrived at the courtyard, they had found that the furnace that was sitting at the corner had been moved to the center of the courtyard. It was unclear of where Hua Tian had taken out a bellow from, but that was now connected to the furnace. He held a bag that contained some powder like substance, adding it to the furnace. Hua Tian looked at Nian Bing and said, "Fatty, you come and help me pull the bellows. Even though the Nine Heavenly Flames is unable to smelt the ice knife, it is still able to soften it and that will be the time to embed the gemstone in it. Nine Flames Dou Qi, arise!" Hua Tian's entire body emitted a very strong heat energy. It was lucky that Nian Bing was at the opposite side of the furnace. So, he was unable to feel the heat flowing from Hua Tian's body which radiated a subtle red aura. He pointed in front of him and a red light ray instantly shot into the furnace. A blinding white flame erupted, and covered the entire courtyard.

"Pull the bellows!" Hua Tian shouted as he held the blade of the knife in his left hand while placing the knife's handle into the furnace. His right hand remained opposite of the furnace, at a distance, and was inserting the scorching hot Nine Flames Dou Qi into the furnace continuously.

This was the first time that Nian Bing saw Dou Qi. His interest in it increased drastically. As he used his strength to pull the bellows, he watched Hua Tian's actions.

The working of that furnace was a mystery, as even though the flame in the furnace was extremely high in temperature, the surroundings didn't heat up too much. The white flame then gradually changed into a green flame. The ice knife's handle however retained its original colour and looked as though it hadn't been changed at all. Beads of perspiration appeared on Hua Tian's forehead. The red aura that surrounded his body also gradually turned green. The flame in the furnace became increasingly green as time passed. When the Dou Qi surrounding Hua Tian's body became thoroughly green, the flame had darkened further. As the odd, dark green flames licked along the ice knife, it began to slowly change, gradually turning red. The flame moved from the end of the knife's handle to the hole in the handle. Even the heat surrounding the hole was under the control of Hua Tian.

"As blood is its essence, Nine Heavenly Fires!" Hua Tian spat a mouthful of fresh blood into the furnace. The dark green flame abruptly became a moderate red flame before the fire rose up again. At that moment, the entire handle of the knife had similarly become as red as the flames. When Hua Tian's hand trembled a little, the Ice and Snow Goddess's stone shot out like lightning and neatly entered the hole. A 'Pu' sound was emitted from the softened handle of the knife as steam was released from it. The entire flame in the furnace instantly dimmed and emitted a teal coloured flame while a dense cloud of smoke rose up towards the sky.
