Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

"Grandpa, the time limit of eight hours is not enough at all. Is Hodge really sure about this?" Susie couldn't help but feel worried. It was impossible to finish refining a weapon within eight hours, unless he had extraordinary weapon-refining skills. Despite having witnessed Zachary's superb weapon-refining skills first-hand, she doubted he was powerful enough to pull this off.

In this way, six hours passed in the blink of an eye. Brayan was entering the final phase of the weapon refining process. He was about to finish his work.

All of a sudden, Zachary, who had been sitting motionlessly this whole time, stood abruptly. As he got on his feet, the Heavenly Golden Furnace let out a loud clang. The top of the Heavenly Golden Furnace suddenly cracked open like a blooming lotus, and from this opening a shining weapon at the Imperial Level flew out and fell into his hands.
