Chapter 199: Chapter 199: Melting Fire Compound Formation_1

Mo Hua’s spirit was rejuvenated, and under the Formation Pivot structure of the First-grade Melting Fire Compound Formation, he added a Spirit Gathering Array.

“Elder, do you have any Spirit Stones?” Mo Hua asked.

“Spirit Stones?”

Elder Yu didn’t understand the reason but still grabbed a handful of Spirit Stones as Mo Hua had asked and placed them beside Mo Hua.

Mo Hua placed all the Spirit Stones on the Spirit Gathering Array.

The Spirit Gathering Array could refine the Spirit Stones, absorb the Spiritual Energy, and convert it into Spiritual Power.

According to the Formation Books, when the First-grade Compound Formation was in operation, the Spirit Gathering Array would automatically refine the Spirit Stones atop it, converting the stones into the Spiritual Power needed to drive the Formation and transmit it along the Formation Pivot.

Afterward, Mo Hua found the node of the Formation Pivot and communicated with it through his Divine Sense.

The moment communication was successful, all Formation Patterns within the entire Compound Formation vividly manifested in Mo Hua’s Sea of Consciousness.

With a mere thought, Mo Hua could manipulate the entire set of Compound Formation.

Mo Hua’s Divine Sense located the Spirit Gathering Array within the Compound Formation and tried to control its activation with Divine Sense.

This was the “open” part of the Formation Pivot’s opening and closing control mechanism.

The Spirit Gathering Array flashed with light, the Spirit Stones atop it emitting a misty Spiritual Energy, which seeped into the Compound Formation through the Patterns.

Mo Hua could also sense from his Divine Sense, a stream of pure Spiritual Energy entering into the Formation Pivot and starting to flow along it.

“So, that’s how it is.”

Mo Hua had an epiphany, using his Divine Sense to intervene in the Formation Pivot, controlling the flow of Spiritual Power with the Pivot, and directing all this power into the First-grade Melting Fire Formation.

The instant the Spiritual Power was channeled, the First-grade Melting Fire Formation suddenly burst forth with a fiery red glow, followed by a surge of flames spurting forth.

It was like a massive firework had exploded out of thin air, containing powerful flames and intense high heat.

Mo Hua was startled.

And it wasn’t just Mo Hua, Elder Yu and Master Chen both showed shock.

“This flame power...” Master Chen found it hard to believe.

The flames had ignited at a furnace in the courtyard. Mo Hua was a bit distanced from it, so he was unharmed, but he could still feel his cheeks burning from the heat.

Mo Hua re-established communication with the Formation Pivot through his Divine Sense and reduced the Spiritual Power slightly. Consequently, the furnace fire indeed grew smaller.

Mo Hua then shut off the Spirit Gathering Array.

The supply of Spiritual Power cut off, the fire gradually diminished, and eventually, it flickered and went out.

Opening and closing control of Spirit! This meant that the Formation Pivot of the Melting Fire and Controlling Spirit Compound Formation was effective!

Mo Hua was overjoyed in his heart.

With the Formation Pivot effective, this complex Compound Formation was deemed successful in a significant measure.

“Is the Formation ready?” Master Chen asked Mo Hua expectantly.

Shortly, the tip of the iron rod turned red-hot.

Master Chen pulled out the iron rod and, with a few casual strikes from a hammer, the rod bent as easily as a noodle.

Master Chen’s face lit up with excitement, confirming his thoughts that the fire power was indeed very strong, stronger than any Refining Furnace he had ever seen.

After being hardened in the fire, the fine iron was also much easier to shape and forge.

Furthermore, the hardening time was significantly reduced, which would greatly increase the efficiency of Artifact Refining, and the quality of the Spiritual Artifacts would also be better.

Master Chen was very satisfied.

Mo Hua turned off the Spirit Gathering Array, and the flames gradually decreased before extinguishing altogether.

Having tested the effectiveness of the flames, there was no need to keep them burning continuously, as they consumed Spirit Stones; conservation was key.

Elder Yu also watched the Refining Furnace with a very content expression.

The more Master Chen observed the furnace, the more he liked it, and he wished he could start using it to refine artifacts right away.

He had never used such a good Refining Furnace in his life...

“Master Chen, the furnace is still working well, right?”

Master Chen replied with a smile, “Yes! Very well indeed!”

Mo Hua was also very happy, then said, “Let’s disassemble it after it cools down a bit.”

Master Chen was confused for a moment, “Disassemble it?”

Mo Hua nodded.

“Why?”

“The Formation isn’t complete yet.”

“Oh,” Master Chen understood, “You need to finish the Formation, right?”

“You could say that, there’s still one more Melting Fire Formation I haven’t drawn,” said Mo Hua.

Master Chen thought he had misheard.

Another Melting Fire Formation?

Although he didn’t understand Formations, he knew that the Refining Furnace was powered by the Melting Fire Formation.

The fact that the flames had been lit meant that there was already one Melting Fire Formation in there.

“How many Melting Fire Formations are inside?” Master Chen asked weakly.

“Not many, just two,” replied Mo Hua casually.

Just two...

Master Chen was somewhat dazed and asked, “Both are First-grade?”

“Yes, both are First-grade,” Mo Hua nodded.

A jump went through Master Chen’s heart.

Two First-grade Melting Fire Formations? How powerful would this Refining Furnace’s flames be?!
