Chapter 1072: Chapter 1072: Try Again Until Succeed

Rather than feeling discouraged by her lack of success, Bai Xifeng became increasingly excited instead. Finding the exact logical reason behind her previous failures meant she had already taken another massive step forward toward mastery.

Fortunately, Bai Xifeng did not need to worry about wasting precious resources or running out of supplies. She had an entire, endless Xien Stone cave hidden safely inside the Mirror World, so she could easily afford to fail as many times as humanly necessary until she finally succeeded.

The blazing furnace roared aggressively back to life.

She carefully and precisely adjusted the intensity of the flames using several high-grade Fire Runes, instead of relying solely on ordinary, unpredictable firewood. Under the runic influence, the flames immediately became much steadier, purer, and significantly easier to control than before.

Bai Xifeng slowly and methodically placed another raw piece of Xien Stone deep into the furnace. This time, she did not rush the process at all. Instead, she carefully and patiently observed every single subtle change in the ore’s shifting colour. She waited with deep patience until a faint, beautiful golden glow gradually spread across its metallic surface.

"This should be exactly enough." Bai Xifeng said to herself, immediately removing the glowing metal before it could overheat and ruin the essence.

The glowing, molten ore landed heavily on the steel forging platform with a solid thud. Without wasting another precious second, Bai Xifeng expertly crushed one of the beast’s razor-sharp fangs into dozens of tiny, fine fragments before sprinkling them evenly over the softened Xien Stone. She then smoothly channelled and infused her spiritual energy directly into both materials simultaneously.

The beast fragments slowly, beautifully began to melt into the metal. Instead of forcefully and aggressively fusing them together as she had during her failed attempts, she patiently and gently guided both distinct materials to intertwine naturally, allowing the spiritual essence inside each material to merge smoothly on its own. Little by little, the pure white essence from the beast tooth blended seamlessly into the silver Xien Stone.

Seeing this perfect fusion, Bai Xifeng’s eyes immediately lit up with pure joy. "It actually worked."

Without a single moment of hesitation, she raised her heavy forging hammer high over her shoulder and struck the materials with all her might.

Clang!

The loud, crisp metallic sound echoed vibrantly throughout the empty workshop.

She continued hammering away without stopping for a single breath. Every single hammer strike was deeply infused with her own spiritual energy. Each heavy blow tempered not only the physical weapon but also the creator’s raw intent and focus. The rhythm had to remain perfectly, flawlessly steady. The force could not be too strong, nor could it be too weak. Gradually, Bai Xifeng’s own breathing synchronised perfectly with the rhythmic, steady sound of the hammer striking the glowing metal.

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

Beads of sweat dripped continuously from Bai Xifeng’s forehead, soaking through her clothes once again until they were damp. Her slender arms had already begun to tremble violently from sheer physical exhaustion. Every single swing of the hammer became noticeably heavier than the last, and every single muscle in her body screamed in loud protest. Yet, she flatly refused to stop. She gritted her teeth against the pain and stubbornly continued hammering the metal.

Hours quietly passed inside the dim room. The rough, shapeless lump of ore gradually transformed beneath her hands into the elegant, sleek shape of a sword. After refining and folding the metal repeatedly, Bai Xifeng carefully and meticulously polished every single sharp edge before infusing one final, massive wave of spiritual energy into the blade.

Buzz...

The completed sword emitted a faint, clear humming sound that resonated in the room. Finally, after several long hours of relentless, back-breaking effort, Bai Xifeng had successfully forged a complete, unbroken sword.

Its overall appearance looked thoroughly majestic. The blade itself shimmered with a deep, mysterious dark-purple colour, the unique, natural signature of the high-grade Xien Stone itself. Faint, elegant spiritual patterns could even be clearly seen flowing across the surface whenever spiritual energy passed through the core, making the weapon appear even more extraordinary and lethal.

Bai Xifeng slowly raised the heavy sword up before her eyes, admiring her handiwork.

"It looks vastly better than the previous exploded piles of scrap, that’s for sure." Bai Xifeng nodded herself.

She gently swung the weapon through the air several times to test its balance.

Whoosh!

The sharp blade cut through the air smoothly, leaving a faint ripple behind. Although she had no concrete idea how high its official quality actually was on the market, she could clearly tell that this sword was far superior to the broken ones she had forged earlier.

Still, she wanted a professional, objective evaluation. She decided that after finding some free time later in the week, she would personally visit the Armament Master Division and have the sword officially appraised by the elders. Only then would she truly know whether her entire night’s gruelling effort had been worthwhile.

Bai Xifeng carefully and securely stored the purple sword inside her storage ring. After spending a few minutes tidying up the messy workshop, she finally opened the door and walked out of the hot room.

Only then did she realise that the sky outside had already fully brightened while she was working. The first bright rays of the morning sun illuminated the deep bamboo forest with a warm, beautiful golden glow.

Bai Xifeng stretched her sore body, her bones popping, before heading straight toward the stone gazebo where Ji Yuan usually spent his quiet mornings.

"Good morning, Teacher Ji. Did you have a good sleep last night?" Bai Xifeng greeted him with a bright, cheerful smile.
