Chapter 278: The Dragonkin's Lead Disciple (2)

　　Roughly ten minutes had pa.s.sed when Pure Crane received a notification. "It's time. Let's go check on the furnace."

　　"That quick?" Shen Jingbin asked along the way to the refining room. She knew that the time taken to refine weapons increased based on their quality.

　　"I've been refining it for three days straight before you came."

　　Shen Jingbin looked at him with a raised brow. The time needed to refine a weapon would appear after placing the required materials and recipe into a furnace. Weapons of differing grades had different refinement times. However, none of them took more than twenty-four hours. In general, weapons that took more than twenty-four hours to refine would be guaranteed to be items of the highest quality and have the best possible attributes. Shen Jingbin understood the implications of a weapon taking three days to be refined without Pure Crane saying anything.

　　This brought up another problem: while you might be able to discern a weapon's quality based on the time it took, there was no way to know whether you'd actually succeed until the refinement was completed.

　　If one's luck was good, they'd be able to obtain a superior weapon when they finished refining. Otherwise, they'd be met with failure instead, and their dreams of obtaining a superior weapon would remain as that – a dream.

　　When she walked in, Shen Jingbin's eyes were drawn to three enormous furnaces that were placed in the middle of the room, looking very similar to the Highest Elder Lord's pill refining room. Pure Crane pointed to the metal furnace on the left and said, "It's that one."

　　Shen Jingbin made her way towards the furnace on the left and placed her hands on top of it.

　　"Do you wish to open the forge? Yes/No. Please note: life is ever changing. Please remain calm regardless of the result, young hero. Continue to strive, and the G.o.ddess of luck is sure to smile on you.

　　Shen Jingbin gave a wry smile. What a thoughtful notice.

　　She selected 'Yes' without the slightest bit of hesitation, and the enormous furnace issued a groan. The furnace's cover began to lift up slowly, and a golden beam of light burst out from within.

　　Success!

　　That beam of light was all they needed to see to know whether the refinement was a success and they broke into smiles. Shen Jingbin, in particular, heaved a sigh of relief.
