With his right hand, Shi Feng lightly tapped the Philosopher's Stone on the Magic Crystal in his left hand.
In the next moment, the Philosopher's Stone released a faint blood-red glow. Following which, the Magic Crystal in Shi Feng's left hand transformed into dust and scattered across the floor, leaving nothing behind.
A Magic Crystal, which cost 8 Silver Coins, was gone, just like that....
In the God's Domain, 8 Silver Coins were the current equivalent of a day's income for an entire elite team.
However, without even blinking, Shi Feng snatched a second Magic Crystal from the table and attempted the Elemental Refinement once more.
Two seconds later, another pile of dust scattered to the floor...
After over a hundred consecutive attempts and failing every time, Shi Feng stopped and reevaluated his actions.
"Is it not possible with Elemental Refinement?" Shi Feng frowned at the dust covered floor.
There were not many members in Zero Wing, so the number of accumulated Magic Crystals was not high. There had been only around 600 in the Guild Warehouse. Meanwhile, Shi Feng had not obtained a single Mana Stone, even after refining over a hundred Magic Crystals. At this rate, he would never refine 21 Mana Stones.
"No, it is just because the success rate is so low. Do I need to raise my chances before it'll work?"
"Mana Stones are the product of polymerization of Magic Crystals. Logically, it should be possible to refine a Magic Crystal into a Mana Stone. Is it because the Magic Crystal's quality is too poor?"
Thinking up to this point, Shi Feng took another Magic Crystal and tested his theory.
This time, after clicking "Refine," Shi Feng thoroughly focused on observing the changes that occurred during the refinement process of the Magic Crystal.
After God's Domain underwent its first evolution, both forging and alchemy had become far more realistic. Moreover, Shi Feng was currently playing the game using a virtual gaming cabin which possessed a synchronization rate of 97%. Hence, if he observed the refinement process of the Magic Crystal carefully, he might discern the cause for failure.
However, the refinement process happened far too quickly. Even if Shi Feng had exceptional dynamic vision, everything still happened in a flash. It was too hard to see anything.
"System Recording, activate Full Simulation Mode," Shi Feng suddenly said.
System: Please hold for system identification...
System: Interface used by player detected as the Virtual Gaming Cabin. Full Simulation Mode is supported.
System: Full Simulation Mode has activated.
After the system activated Full Simulation Mode, Shi Feng picked up a Magic Crystal and attempted Elemental Refining once more. As expected, the Magic Crystal still crumbled into dust that scattered all over the floor.
Unperturbed, Shi Feng said, "System, play the video recorded through Full Simulation Mode."
In the next moment, a 3D holographic image appeared before Shi Feng's eyes, showing the exact scene when Shi Feng had attempted Elemental Refinement on the Magic Crystal.
