Currently, Henrick could refine a rank 1 sword with two methods namely the common forging process and the 'purification with a thought' method.

'After refining 81 rank 1 swords, I feel, I got used to common forging. Moreover, the time taken by using the common forging process is very less compared to the other method. Also, I can save my pure internal fire energy too,'

​​

He didn't think much before choosing to refine the weapons using the common forging process.

Actually, the thing is, if he refined 20-30 weapons with his other method, he could reduce the time taken for the refinement even with the method; however, for those 20-30 refinements, he was going to waste too much.

'Also, I feel that earlier enlightenment will decrease my refinement time for the common forging process even more,'

Henrick didn't waste any more time as he started refining the weapons one after another.

'Swoosh'

With a thought, a low-quality metal block appeared in his hand and with the help of the forging sand, he started the process.

'Ding,

A rank 1 common sword is refined

.'Ding,

A rank 1 common sword is refined

The only thing Henrick was focused on right now was refining and he enjoyed the 'Ding' sound in his head as he refined one weapon after another before tossing them into the water.

'As I expected, the time to forge a single rank 1 weapon is around 5 minutes. At this speed, I can refine 96 weapons by the mid-night,'

Henrick was neither too excited for the decrement in refining time nor too disappointed that he could not produce more than 100 rank 1; instead, he continued to focus on refining the weapons.

'Ding,

A rank 1 common sword is refined

'Ding,

Master, unlocked an achievement. Please check it to know the full details regarding the achievement.

Just as he was fully focused on refining the weapons, a system notification made him raise his brows after refining a weapon.

'Huh? Achievement?'

Since he had refined some weapons within a short time, he took a small break to check the specific system notification.

'System, open that message,'

He asked the system to show him about that achievement.

'Ding,

Achievement 'Forging Lunatic' is unlocked.

Benefits:- Refined weapons will have a 1 percent chance of imbued with a special skill in it.

Details:- As the cultivator refined 100 rank 1 weapons in a single day using a common forging process, the achievement is unlocked.

Soon, the details regarding the achievement appeared in front of him; however, he was a little disappointed to see that because that one percent chance is almost negligible and it required a huge amount of luck to get a skill on a rank 1 weapon.

'I think, I should go back to my refining,'

Seeing there was nothing much useful for him with that achievement for his current situation, he didn't bother with it and thought to resume his refining.

'Ding,

For unlocking an achievement, the trial master has sent a gift to the master.

However, before he could start the refining, Henrick froze for a second before revealing an excited smile on his face.

'Thr trial master is very generous so far. I hope, he sent me a good reward that could help me with my current situation,'

The moment he started attempting the trials in the inheritance building, the trial master was always generous with the rewards. So, Henrick was a little hopeful and excited to see what he had sent.

'Ding,

The trial master sent a special low-level common forging technique.

'Ding,

Do you want to learn it?

Yes/ no.

The system didn't even show what that forging technique was and directly asked whether he wanted to learn it or not.

'Of course, I want to learn it,'

How could he reject the reward from the trial master? So, without any hesitation, he directly accepted it.

'Ding,

Checking the condition to learn the technique.

'Ding,

Learned the common forging process.

'Ding,

Condition met.

'Aargh'

As soon as he agreed to learn the forging technique, a series of system notifications continuously rang in his head before feeling a sharp pain in his head and in the next second, he fell to the ground.

'Phew...'

However, his 'Endurance' skill got triggered and helped him with the pain which made him heave a sigh of relief.

'Ding,

Master learned a special forging technique 'Common batch forgoing'.

Before he could understand what was happening, he learned a special forging technique.

'That's it?'

Henrick was surprised as he closed his eyes to check the forging technique.

'Ding,

Profession:- Weaponsmith (Rank 1)

Professional techniques:- Purification with thought, common forging technique and common batch forging.

Soon, the user interface appeared in front of him and he didn't bother about other things; instead, focused on his newly learned technique.

'Ding,

Technique name:- Common batch forging.

Effect:- Helps the weaponsmith to refine the same type of weapons at the same time.

Current weapons in a batch:- 10

Details:- It is similar to the common forging process except for a few changes.

'Good'

Henrick was not surprised by the information because he could already guess it from the name of the technique.

However, what made him surprised was how the trial master knew that he learned the 'common forging process'.

'Does he know everything I do?'

After thinking for a few moments, Henrick felt like he was being watched by the trial master through his system.

Because even the reward he had sent was very helpful for him in his current situation.

'Ding,

No, master. The trial master will not watch the challenger when he is out of the inheritance building.

Unexpected to his expectations, the system replied his assumption was wrong.

'Then?'

Henrick became confused because there was no way the trial would send a reward that was both useful for his current situation and meet the condition without watching him.

'Ding,

The challenger's complete data will be updated in the inheritance building along with the missions the system has issued to the master.

'What?'

Seeing that system's reply, Henrick was surprised for a bit; however, he felt it was better than always being watched by someone.

'No wonder, as soon as I unlocked an achievement, the trial master has sent a reward,' Finally, Henrick understood the trial master keeps track of his challengers.

'Anyway, I will go back to my refinement,'

Soon, without wasting any time he started using his newly learned forging technique to refine 10 weapons in a single refinement.

'Swoosh'

He took out 10 low-level metal blocks from the storage ring and tossed them into a huge furnace. At the same, he increased the fire supply to it before preparing the forging sand.

'I wonder, how long will this batch refinement take for completing a refinement,'

While preparing the forging sand, Henrick looked at the huge furnace and thought in his head.

With the increase in the metal blocks in the huge furnace, even with a high flame, it would take some time before they could be melted. So, Henrick thought about the time.

Just like how he refined using the common forging process, he did the same thing but everything was in huge quantities.

'I hope it will be successful,'

Henrick prayed when he came to the last step of the refinement.
