Chapter 1173: Soul Piercing Dagger
Ace didn't know that his action of refining the materials with Chuchu's spirit fire had just revealed something extraordinary about Chuchu to the two outer sect elders, as he was fully focused on the forging.
He could do without it, but then he knew he wouldn't be able to forge a grade-9 treasure because using a spirit fire raised the chances of the final product tremendously, whether it was in alchemy or forging; even the rune crafting was the same.
Furthermore, he had another reason to use Chuchu's spirit fire: He wanted to hide the extraordinary properties of his Holy Twilight Qi, which he upgraded with his avatar and called the Holy Twilight Spirit Qi.
It shocked even him when it happened while he was still in the thief's house.

Creating runes was his bread and butter since whether it was codex runes or philosopher runes; they followed the same principles of rune crafting. So now that the ink was in, the easy
part was done.
Placing the Piercing Soul Ink in a pod, he enveloped the three main materials and refined
them using his Qi and Chuchu's flames. This method was actually quite a high-level technique of a peak Runic Smith of Grade-8 called Active Qi Fire Smiting, which completely suits Ace's
needs.
Soon, the three materials were melted, and using the Qi control, he again combined them in a special sequence, little by little, before he put the molten mixture on the anvil, and a black runic hammer appeared in his hand.
He started to hammer the molten mixture while shaping it with his Qi using the Twelve Soul Hammer technique in his memories. Even though he didn't expand much Qi, he still felt the strain and was slightly anxious as he hammered that molten mixture into the shape of a
dagger.
Ace never thought he would forge something someday, and since it was his first time, he was completely invested in it and completely forgot about the test or the crowd behind him. He felt the same way whenever he focused on rune crafting, which gave him a strange peace of
mind.
With a solemn expression, while the mixture was still not cooling down, Ace used his Qi again, and the ink in the pod appeared again. Ace masterfully controlled the ink and started to shape it into fine runes-like threads, slowly etching them into the molten metal one by one in
sequence.
Powerful Soul undulations started to rise as he etched the ink onto the surface of the blade while making sizzling sounds. Once the runic sequence was complete, the dagger was sounded with a hazy layer of dark blue mist, and Ace knew it was time to finish the job as he quickly used the hammer and struck the metal in a peculiar rhythm.
With every smite, the hazy mist seemed to be absorbed by the blade, revealing its fine and shining surface with intricate patterns. With one final smite, 'Bang!'
A powerful force suddenly appeared before it vanished, revealing the shining ocean crescent blue dagger with tiny runes etched on its razor-sharp edges. This gave the others a feeling of
invincible death!
"Soul Piercing Dagger is complete!"
Ace muttered while whipping his sweat with a hint of pride as he looked at his very first
forged weapon, an initial-stage Grade-9 weapon!
