Divine Flame Crystal

Xingluo learned many techniques of making magic equipment from Nick, and also helped Nick complete the carving of many formation diagrams.

Today he plans to try to make his first piece of magic equipment. The production of magic equipment is not just about carving array diagrams, but also requires consideration of the equipment's appearance, practicality, type of metal, material used to carve the array diagram, etc.

During the time he studied with Nick, he had many new and creative ideas and considered problems more comprehensively.

So he finally decided to make a piece of magic equipment, but because magic materials were expensive, he had to ask Nick for some scraps every time he cleaned the laboratory.

The money he had saved during this period could only be used to make magic equipment the size of a ring, so after much consideration, he decided to try to make an "invisibility ring".

Looking at the scraps in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly. He needed to find materials that he could use among them, then choose the formation diagram, choose suitable materials, and finally pick out the metal wire that was suitable for depicting the formation diagram.

Xingluo had thought about it countless times in his mind before, and had also drawn the manifestation array diagram on paper several times.

Master Nick is not here today, so after finishing work, I can use the free time to refine a ring on the laboratory bench.

He concentrated and held his breath, eliminating all distracting thoughts. After all, this was his first time refining magic equipment, and he didn't know if he could succeed.

His chubby right hand picked up a thumb-sized piece of mountain copper and threw it into the magic furnace. His mental power wrapped around the metal and entered the furnace. A feeling of burning heat instantly came over him, and he hurriedly increased the output of his mental power.

As his mental power increased, the burning sensation gradually disappeared. He used his mental power to remotely control the changes in the metal. After the mountain copper began to melt, he picked up a small piece of mithril.

Mithril is used to increase the metal's magical conductivity and ductility. Although it is extremely precious, Xingluo still gritted his teeth and threw in a piece slightly smaller than a fingernail.

As the mithril was put in, he found that the flame in the furnace suddenly became stronger, just like a catalyst, accelerating the melting of the mountain copper. The mithril itself melted when it came into contact with fire, and the two metals merged into each other in an instant.

Xingluo saw the right opportunity and added several more metals to increase the stability of the metals. After watching the metals being liquefied, he began to shape the metals using his mental power.

Xingluo's mental power, which was comparable to that of a high-level magician, quickly made the metal form a slightly rustic ring. There were no extra patterns on the ring, and it looked as ordinary as it could be, with only a flash of silver light occasionally.

After the shaping is completed, it is time to draw the formation diagram, which is also an extremely critical moment.

This was different from practicing on paper. Not to mention making a mistake in drawing a single stroke, even the thickness of the lines was extremely important, and Xingluo dared not be negligent.

After taking out the ring, he began to carve. In his hand, he held a black iron carving knife, which he used for daily practice. Carving knives are also divided into different levels. His was at most a primary magic carving knife.

Although the carving knife was ordinary, it was enough to deal with the ring today. Xingluo did not dare to delay and began to carve it stroke by stroke while the metal was still soft.

Xingluo's hands were extremely fast, leaving afterimages and metal powder flying. Soon, a formation diagram with the function of revealing and hiding was engraved in the center of the ring. Then Xingluo began to draw the magic gathering formation diagram, which was scattered on the ring.

Soon the two formation diagrams were completed. Finally, Xingluo used his mental power to carve a strange 'Z' symbol on the two formation diagrams. All of a sudden, the original two formation diagrams became blurred, and outsiders could only see the symbols and some scattered formation diagrams.

This became popular after the development of the modern magic system. Without destroying the original function of the formation, some symbols are used to prevent others from copying one's own formation. It is also a mark to indicate the identity of the maker.

As the formation diagram was carved, the ring was covered with patterns, adding a sense of mystery to the originally simple-looking ring.

The moment the formation diagram was completed, Xingluo picked out a fire-attributed magic core and embedded it in the ring. In an instant, a bewitching red light flashed, and the fire element in the air became more intense. The 'visibility ring' was completed.

Xingluo played with the ring in his hand, looked at it again and again, and finally put it on his hand. With a movement of his mental power, a fire-attributed ball began to rotate around Xingluo.

Most of the invisibility methods in the world rely on the changes in light and shadow and visual blind spots, so the art of invisibility is to create an extremely bright fire ball to surround the surroundings in order to achieve the purpose of showing invisibility.

The Starfall ring has the function of gathering magic and revealing and invisibility, and the revealing and invisibility technique does not consume much magic power. If it is activated all the time, the magic gathering array is enough to offset the consumed magic power.

Xingluo slightly modified the magic gathering array diagram to connect the magic core. In this way, the magic core can be activated and the ability to appear and disappear can be improved. Of course, if this is done, it will not be long before the magic core has to be replaced again.

Xingluo's first piece of magic equipment was completed. He breathed a sigh of relief. This was his first time making magic equipment, so there were inevitably some unfamiliar parts. He closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, summarizing the points that needed attention.

He took out a small sheepskin notebook and wrote down his production process. He also drew a lot of pictures and annotated them. Taking notes became a small habit of Xingluo since coming to the academy.

Every time he holds a pen and writes on paper, his mind gradually calms down, allowing him to reflect better.

After putting away the remaining magic materials, Xingluo stretched and estimated the time. He found that it took him a full 2 ​​hours.

He once observed Nick doing alchemy. In Nick's hands, it only took him a few dozen minutes to refine a piece of high-level magic equipment.

Xingluo knew that he still had a lot of room for improvement, and then he comforted himself: "After all, this is my first time refining magic equipment, and I succeeded in one go. I am indeed a genius picked out of a million, hahahaha."

“In fact, the main waste of time this time is the refining of magic metals. The magic furnace can use mental power to adjust the temperature of the flame.

I just didn't try it because I was afraid I couldn't control it well. I'll ask Master Nick to give me some magic metal refining work later."

If others knew that he succeeded in refining magic equipment for the first time in just 2 hours, they would surely be envious.

In fact, the most likely link to fail in refining magic equipment is the carving of the array diagram, but Xingluo has laid the foundation for several years and has practiced it so many times with Nick, plus his mental talent, so he succeeded in one fell swoop.

When Nick came back, he immediately called Xingluo over and said with a gloomy face, "Did you touch my lab table?"
