"Master Lu, you and your disciples should leave the meeting first. Drawing this Fire Gathering Inscription requires a high degree of concentration. If you are disturbed, you may fail at the last minute!"

Zhou Ling then spoke to Master Lu.

Drawing high-level inscriptions does indeed require a lot of divine sense, but more importantly, Zhou Ling doesn't want others to know that he has beast flames on his body.

Such rare and precious objects can easily attract trouble if others become aware of them.

Master Lu naturally cooperated fully with this matter.

The workshop's business is doing alright, and the profits are decent.

However, he is currently the only one capable of crafting first-tier artifacts. He refines artifacts every day, which is not only arduous but also involves constant contact with earth fire and absorption of fire-evil energy.

It's also extremely bad for your health, so you only earn hard-earned money.

Once the refining furnace can be upgraded to a first-grade superior quality, not only will the refining efficiency be greatly improved, but the damage to the body will also be greatly reduced.

However, he still whispered a word of caution, "Brother Ling, be careful. My whole family depends on this stove for food!"

"Don't worry! The inscription on it forms its own inner ring, so it won't be so easy for me to destroy it!"

Zhou Ling smiled.

These inscriptions, which have been subjected to the scorching heat of the earth for many years, are far more durable than magical artifacts of the same level.

Even if you intentionally sabotage it, it's not that easy.

Of course, adding more runes to the nodes is also quite difficult.

Hearing this, Master Lu was finally relieved.

He then led a few disciples to wait outside the courtyard.

After Master Lu and the others left, Zhou Ling went to the stone table under the old locust tree, took out the spirit paper from his storage bag, spread it out, and prepared to draw the inscription.

Although he had a general idea of ​​the drawing plan through preliminary observation and preliminary analysis.

But there is still the issue of success rate.

Therefore, it is still necessary to draw it on the spirit paper first to familiarize oneself with the inscription.

He immediately condensed spiritual flames, using his fingers as a brush, and began to draw inscriptions on the spiritual paper.

However, since it was a first-tier high-grade Fire Gathering Inscription, Zhou Ling was clearly not proficient enough in connecting the inscriptions and nodes. He would pause at the turning points of the inscription connection nodes, and his spiritual power was not stable enough.

At this moment, the inscription, which was already mostly drawn, suddenly flashed with a fiery red light with a "poof".

Smoke rose from the spirit paper.

Failed.

[You are currently crafting a Tier 1 superior-grade Fire Gathering Inscription. Innate Talent +1, Fire Gathering Inscription Proficiency +2]

[You are currently crafting a Tier 1 High-Grade Fire Gathering Inscription. Precision Control +1, Fire Gathering Inscription Proficiency +1]

[You are drawing a Tier 1 High-Grade Fire Gathering Inscription. Divine Sense Training +1, Divine Sense +2]

Zhou Ling didn't continue, but instead looked at the pattern from before and began to observe it.

[You are analyzing a Tier 1 High-Grade Fire Gathering Inscription. Beginner Analysis +1, Fire Gathering Inscription Proficiency +1]

Zhou Ling quickly discovered the problem.

The skill level is insufficient, and the coordination between the spiritual flame and the divine sense is not smooth enough.

Fortunately, it was drawn on spirit paper, so the consumption of spiritual power and divine sense was not too great.

After resting for a while, Zhou Ling arranged the spirit paper again and continued drawing.

This time, we have the experience gained from the previous lessons and improved our proficiency.

It's much easier to draw then.

Despite some setbacks, the Fire Gathering Seal was eventually successfully drawn.

[You are currently crafting a Tier 1 superior-grade Fire Gathering Inscription. Innate Talent +1, Fire Gathering Inscription Proficiency +2]

······
Looking at the inscription, Zhou Ling let out a long breath.

After drawing two inscriptions in succession, about one-third of the spiritual power and divine sense in his body were consumed.

After resting for a while, he went to the furnace.

First, he reached out and felt the material of the refining furnace.

After all, there is a significant difference between drawing with spirit paper and drawing with black iron.

Fortunately, this only upgrades the magic array. The difficulty lies in reforging and reconnecting the nodes.

It tests the inscription master's skill in condensing spiritual flames and their precise control over spiritual power.

Zhou Ling immediately activated his Beast Flame, and a palm-sized golden flame rose up in his hand.

Then Zhou Ling used his fingers as a pen to manipulate the beast flames and began to melt the inscription nodes on the refining furnace.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, six more fire-gathering runes appeared on the fire-gathering imprint.

Zhou Ling put away the beast flames and exhaled softly.

The drawing process went much more smoothly than he had expected.

The beast flame has been used up to half.

After brushing the dust off his clothes, Zhou Ling called out to Master Lu and the others, "Master Lu, you can come in now!"

"So fast?"

Master Lu, who was drinking tea at the gate, looked surprised and hurriedly walked in.

Then he inspected the forging furnace again, "It's really finished!"

Master Lu's tone still held a hint of disbelief.

"Of course!"

Zhou Ling let out a soft breath, looking somewhat tired.

Although drawing with the help of beast flames is not difficult, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy.

Without condensing a soul seed, he might not have been able to successfully draw it.

"Brother Ling, thank you for your hard work. This is a jade token recommended by my Lu family workshop."

Seeing Zhou Ling like this, Master Lu knew that the difficulty involved must be considerable, after all, Zhou Ling was only at the mid-stage of weapon refining.

He then took out a cyan jade pendant and handed it to Zhou Ling.

"Thank you, Master Lu!"

Zhou Ling received the jade pendant with a joyful expression.

The jade plaque felt warm and smooth to the touch, with an ancient-style character for "recommendation" engraved on it, and the Dao Alliance's Heavenly Crafts Bureau seal on the back.

Like the Xuan Ting Division, the Tian Gong Division is one of the nine divisions under the Dao Alliance.

He is in charge of all kinds of magicians and logistics within the Dao Alliance.

He put the jade pendant away and asked, "Master Lu, do you know if there are any items in the workshop that can defend against attacks from the Soul Path?"

Although the family has now set up a Biyun Wood Array, the parents' spiritual cultivation is not high.

We still need to be careful when going between home and the distillery every day!

Having magical artifacts related to the soul path allows one to be prepared for any eventuality.

It's always better to be careful!
"Brother Ling is worried about that evil cultivator!" Master Lu touched the refining furnace, his face showing excitement.

Zhou Ling nodded.

Master Lu thought for a moment and said, "Good soul-path tools are extremely rare. I did have two pieces of rattan bamboo armor on hand, but drawing soul-path inscriptions is very difficult."

"No one has shown any interest in them, nor have any inscriptions been drawn on them. If you want them, Brother Ling, these two pieces of rattan bamboo armor are yours as a reward for upgrading the refining furnace!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out two pieces of rattan and bamboo armor from his storage bag.

These two sets of rattan and bamboo armor were originally ordered by the Heavenly Crafts Bureau of Lingxia Immortal City for various workshops.

The two sets of rattan and bamboo armor he crafted did not meet the requirements, so he had to keep them.

However, without an inscription depicting the attributes of the Soul Path, it doesn't have much effect.

So I've kept it all this time, and now that Zhou Ling wants it, it's a good opportunity to do him a favor!

"Thank you, Master Lu!"

A hint of joy flashed in Zhou Ling's eyes as he looked at Teng Zhu's armor.

Tengzhu contains the energy of green wood, which has the effect of nourishing the spirit. When paired with the soul attribute imprint, it can protect the spirit.

After receiving the two sets of rattan and bamboo armor, and seeing that it was getting late, he bid farewell to Master Lu and left the workshop.
