Treasure-hunting: Into the Unknown

A ball of strange, dazzling golden flame came out of the Blazing Roc's mouth and fell in front of Zachary.

"Thank you. I will take it." Zachary immediately reached out to catch the golden flame. The moment it fell on his palm, it turned into a wisp of golden smoke and went into his body.

All of a sudden, Zachary felt a warm current course through his body, as if a hot spring had enveloped him. After that, he felt his martial energy circulate rapidly. At the same time, his body also emitted a faint golden light, which was different from his original purple one.

Suddenly, Zachary felt a sharp burning sensation near his lower abdomen, which quickly increased in intensity. Soon, he could feel the burning sensation along his meridians, and it was so hot and painful that he felt that his meridians were melting.

Zachary could not help clenching his teeth, because it hurt so much. However, knowing that it was the fusion's side effect, he could do nothing but endure the pain. After a long time, the burning sensation spread all over his body, which caused him to sweat so profusely that he felt like he was in a cave that was on fire.

"There is no such thing as a free meal in this world!" Zachary snorted, and activated the martial energy in his body, in an attempt to reduce the burning feeling.

But he soon found that the martial energy in his body was out of control. It seemed that his entire body was out of control, and he could do nothing about it. He was like a bystander watching himself suffer.

"Damn it! Whatever!" Zachary had resigned himself to the fact that there was no other way but to bear the strong burning sensation in his body.

After experiencing excruciating pain for a long time, Zachary suddenly felt that the martial energy in his body had grown stronger. Without being aware of it, he had reached the bottleneck to the Earth Level, which meant that he had skipped the ninth grade of Mortal Level.

"No way! Is it because of the fusion with the fire with metal element?" Zachary was both surprised and delighted, as he had never expected that would happen. But he soon figured out what

cal cultivation method. And as the martial energy circulation of physical cultivators had no fixed direction, even if he were to reverse his martial energy's movement, his body would not be harmed.

In addition to reverse circulation, learning the Heavenly Weapon Refining Skill also required the learner to be exceptionally talented. As a treasure-hunting expert, Zachary enjoyed challenges, especially those that were extremely difficult. Therefore, in the next few days, he began to use the materials he had collected to practice how to forge weapons. Of course, no matter how talented a genius he was, he could not understand weapon refining at one go. It was already challenging enough for him to keep his energy fire burning.

On the first day

"Failed again? It only lasted for two hours. Just a little more!"

On the second day

"Damn it! Luck please bless me! Only ten hours!"

The fourth day

"Oh, my God! It finally lasted one whole day. Keep up the good work!"

Zachary tried countless times, but he failed repeatedly.

Eventually, he managed to maintain his fire with metal element for two days, which met the basic weapon refining requirement. However, that was the beginning stage.

Meanwhile, the day when he had to go to the Celestial College arrived.

Zachary, who had been practicing weapon refining in the Burial Forest, returned to the Welkin Sect when it was time for him to do so.
