Chapter 266: Refinement


Under the brilliant starry sky, a lonely giant ship stood still quietly, no one else could be seen in the huge clearing. No guard was needed to protect the place. Hogan, a grand magician who commanded thousands of stone monsters, was enough to handle any general attacks. Also, the location was near Isolated Cliff City. If anything abnormal occurred, Han Jin could always arrive on his green radiance within seconds.


The ship deck, as wide as a plaza, had been fully repaired, leaving only eight entrances. According to Hogan’s calculations, there were more than 180 cabins underneath the board which were enough to accommodate thousands of people. Therefore, eight entrances were insufficient and would only cause inconveniences when everyone entered or exited the ship at once.


At the center of the vast deck, there was a lone chair. Han Jin was sitting on the chair, and Hogan stood by his side, nervously observing his surroundings. Harley was standing on the other side. Today, Harley was acting rather abnormal. Previously, he always hid his Soul-Devouring Bead, and could only communicate with Cromwell’s soul remnants. After a long time of being together, he knew everything about Cromwell. He even asked about Cromwell’s childhood antidotes, and about how Cromwell had stolen candies and smashed other people’s windows. To him, staying in the bead bored him to death. Whenever Han Jin let him out, he always chattered non-stop. It did not matter if what he said made any sense, or if anyone was actually listening, he still felt satisfied as long as he could talk.


However, at the moment, Harley was acting unusually quiet. As the spirit of the Soul-Devouring Bead, if Han Jin did not intentionally want to hide something from him, Harley and Han Jin could communicate with each other through their minds. He knew what Han Jin planned to do.


Nearly a dozen meters in front of Han Jin, wooden blocks of uneven shapes and sizes were stacked in a pile. There were also dozens of Treefolk corpses. These wooden blocks had been previously cut from Treefolks. With Han Jin’s current situation, the wooden army calling charm was no longer be useful, and so it was best to throw away the Treefolk bodies. However, Han Jin used to live a poor life before he arrived in this world. In his previous world, any such materials were considered rare celestial treasures, so he was very reluctant to dispose of such. Unexpectedly, he had now found an excellent way to make use of these materials, and he even paid a large sum of money to buy even more bodies. These together were enough for him to use.


Midnight had arrived. At the moment that the yin and yang of the world interchanged, Han Jin suddenly stood up. His movements startled Hogan. Since Han Jin sat in the chair for several hours, Hogan believed that Han Jin was already asleep. However, because even Harley, who always liked to scorn people with words said nothing, and the atmosphere was a bit unusual, Hogan was afraid to say a single word.


“Up!” Han Jin bellowed, his voice echoing through the woods like a thunderstorm. Moments later, he quickly performed some hand gestures. His originally ruddy face quickly turned pale, as just a single spell had almost exhausted all his vital energy!


“Go!” Han Jin shouted again. With the wave of his hand, a gigantic beam of light shot straight into the sky, creating an explosion, covering the entire sky with dazzling white light.


Later, the clear night sky suddenly dimmed, and the looming clouds condensed towards the position where the light beam exploded. Soon, the clouds became denser and denser, covering up half the sky. Finally, a huge vortex was formed, spinning slowly in the sky.


Han Jin’s figure stumbled, and he immediately blessed himself with the Charm of Spirit Refreshment. However, the Charm of Spirit Refreshment could only make up for the loss of physical strength, and could not eliminate the sense of weakness caused by the rapid loss of vital energy. Han Jin still felt uncomfortable, but at the moment, he did not have a chance to care about anything else.


What Han Jin had just released was a Thunder Refining spell!


When blacksmiths made good weapons, they required a pure flame that could remain at a constant and high temperature, and the weapon needed to be struck and forged repeatedly. In fact, this was the same for cultivators. This was why it was a very common method to use Three True Flame to make magic weapons.


In ancient times, cultivators with unparalleled power refused to use the Three True Flame. They would directly induce heavenly lightning to refine their weapons. After all, the former would only refine the weapon up to normal grade magic weapons, while the latter could produce spiritual grade weapons!


Han Jin’s vital energy was still too scarce, and the cultivation realm he was in was still far away from the realm of Tai Yi. Although he made all kinds of preparations in advance, using a whole afternoon to arrange a huge Lightning Gathering Magic Array, and even though he had almost used up all his vital energy, what he eventually triggered was just one strike of lightning.


No one noticed when it began, but the night wind flowing amongst the forest disappeared inexplicably. Between the heavens and the Earth, everything suddenly became extraordinarily quiet, so quiet that it seemed a little terrifying. The three people on the deck could even hear their own heartbeats.


At that moment, Hogan moved his mouth, he wanted to say something, but he did not dare to break the present tranquillity. He suddenly felt a pressure that penetrated deep into his bones, just like how it was described getting caught under a legendary dragon’s roar!


The sky suddenly lit up as dazzling lightning burst out of the eye of the vortex, shooting straight towards the ground!


All lightning element magic was divergent in appearance, due to the instability of the electric arc. For example, the Nine Grid Thunder Call technique released by Yalina produced hundreds of irregular fuzzy forks for each main lightning column falling from the sky. However, the lightning bolt shooting down from the sky at this moment was exceptionally clean and tidy, like a giant from the sky stabbing down his weapon.


Hogan was stunned, and all his hairs stood on their ends. Although the lightning bolt had not struck yet, he could clearly sense the unrelenting power contained within the bolt. In addition, he could clearly see that the lightning bolt was directed towards the giant ship under their feet! At that moment, Hogan shouted loudly, “Master, be careful…” Then, with a wave of his hand, he released an ice cone, shooting directly towards the thunderbolt.


“Don’t mess around!” Harley yelled angrily. His voice was very solemn, unlike how he usually sounded.


Han Jin then reached out his hand. Suddenly, the bodies of the Treefolks and the wooden blocks suddenly arose and gathered to form an irregular sphere.


The Three True Flame was not an ordinary fire, and the heavenly lightning was not ordinary lightning. The ice cone released by Hogan failed to cause any impact on the lightning, as it merely passed through the lightning inexplicably. In the next moment, the lightning struck the bodies of the Treefolks, producing a loud boom. The Treefolk corpses and the wooden pieces were all shattered in an instant, turning into glowing microscopic powders hundreds of times smaller than dust, making them seem like light spots slowly drifting towards the ground.


With the booming sound of thunder, the clouds that covered up half of the sky rapidly dissipated, and the night sky was clear once again.


“This… This is…” Hogan became tongue twisted. He was stumped by the fact that lightning with such terrifying power did not cause any damage to the giant ship, and the magic he released had no effect at all, which made him utterly confused.


Han Jin’s face glowed with joy. Disregarding his weak state, he forced himself to do another hand gesture. The particles of light suddenly turned alive, spreading along the ship’s boards. Soon, the entire giant ship was covered by the light spots.


“Let’s go down and take a look.” Han Jin said in a low voice.


“Hogan, are you blind? Hurry up and help master!” Harley screamed.


Hogan was taken by surprise. He then ran a few steps towards Han Jin, supporting him by his arm.


Han Jin knew that he had to find a quiet place to rest, but he also knew he could not be at ease without seeing the results first, and he would not be able to focus on doing anything else.


The trio then walked down along the wooden ladder to the first floor of the cabins. Hogan was surprised to see that not only was the deck covered by light spots, but also the inside of the ship! Including the wooden ladder and the countless cabin doors, there were flashing light spots everywhere!


Han Jin pushed open the door of one room and glanced inwards, then nodded with satisfaction, “Let’s go down further.”


Not until they reached the lowest layer did Han Jin finally let out a sigh of relief, “Release me, I need to rest here for a while.”


Hogan carefully helped Han Jin to sit on the floor. Then, he started scanning around, then squatted down and stroked the floor. Previously, it was just ordinary wood, but the quality was not bad. Now, he clearly felt a lively feeling, full of vitality!


After observing the area for a long time, Hogan could not endure his questions any longer, and asked carefully, “Master, what… what is going on?”


Han Jin smiled and took out a long sword from his space ring. A few days earlier, he destroyed a flying sword while releasing the ‘Thousand Waves’ technique. Therefore, he needed to refine more flying swords to replace it. In addition, he could actually release a dozen “Thousand Waves” techniques one after another with his vital energy. Of course, he needed to make sufficient preparations, but he did not have time to refine them yet.


Han Jin then threw the sword to the ground and said, “Hold the sword and slash it at a random place a few times.”


Hogan picked up the long sword and looked at Han Jin blankly. When he saw Han Jin nodding at him with a smile, he turned and walked towards the cabin door. The door was not so important, if it broke, it could be easily replaced.


Hogan looked at Han Jin again, then raised the sword and swung towards the door with his greatest strength. Suddenly, the countless particles of light began shining brightly. Hogan then felt a great force around his wrist, and could no longer keep his grip. The long sword flew out of his hand, and his body stumbled back a few steps, as he nearly fell to the ground.


Hogan was an expert in alchemy, and even Yalina consulted him for advice sometimes. He immediately understood that Han Jin had used unfathomable magic to convert the entire giant ship into a magic item! Hogan immediately rushed towards the door at a speed that was inconsistent with his age, stroking the door carefully. The place he had just cut was still smooth like a mirror, with not a single flaw.


“Master, may I release some magic?” Hogan turned his head in surprise and joy.


“Yes.” Han Jin paused, “But don’t use fire element magic or magic that is too powerful.”


“It can’t resist fire element magic?” Hogan asked anxiously, “Master, then… if the enemy attacks us with fire, what shall we do?”


“This is just the first step.” Han Jin smiled, “Now my magic has been depleted. I cannot do anything but rest until tomorrow. I will come here every other day in the future. Probably… for two months, I suppose that will be enough.” He could only blame his vital energy. Even if he ran out of vital energy every other day, he could only complete the first part of his plan in two months.


“But… Master, the boat can’t glide on the ground, why are you wasting so much effort?”


“What if this ship could fly in the sky?” Harley sniggered in a strange tone.


“Fly in the sky? How is that possible?” Hogan exclaimed.


“Nothing is impossible.” Han Jin answered calmly.


“But… But…” Hogan was stunned for a while, then suddenly jumped up, shouting incoherently, “Master… Oh my! Oh my! I need the magic crystal cannons… the more the better!” After all, Hogan was a magician who had participated in battles as part of a large army, so he quickly realized the power of this ship. Of course, it depended on whether what Han Jin said could be achieved.


“Relax, whatever is needed will be equipped.” Han Jin closed his eyes, “Now, can you two keep quiet for a while?”
