Invincible Little School Doctor

Chapter 1762: Chapter 1762: What Principle Is This?

”Look at your expression...”

Zhu Qingshuang couldn’t help but laugh when she saw Ye Haochuan’s appearance. However, she also let out a long breath of relief. In truth, she was also curious whether the added ore would push the weapon beyond the Treasure-Level Peak.

”Qingshuang, hurry up and add it in. I can’t wait any longer!” Ye Haochuan urged as he saw Zhu Qingshuang was still hesitating.

”Okay.”

Zhu Qingshuang nodded slightly, exerted a bit force, and threw the ore, twinkling with starlight, towards the blood-red flower suspended mid-air, its appearance seemingly ethereal.

Plop~

A sound like a small stone being dropped into water resounded, and then the ethereal image of the blood-red flower swelled dramatically, growing larger and larger.

Rumble~

A strange sound emerged from the ethereal shadow of the blood-red flower, and the entire blood-red flower gradually turned black.

Moreover, starlight started gleaming on the darkened flower, mirroring the appearance of the exotic ore precisely.

”Haha, it seems successful.”

Ye Haochuan was thrilled upon witnessing this. Even though he had agreed to add the ore and fantasized about succeeding, he was prepared for failure. However, given the current situation, he wouldn’t have to endure the pain of failure.

Thud thud~ thud thud~

A sound resembling a heartbeat emanated from the blackened flower with starlight, causing the entire flower to start vibrating.

”Stabilize!”

Seeing this situation, Zhu Qingshuang’s face turned serious, and her hand seals rapidly changed. Large beads of sweat dripped from her forehead.

Ye Haochuan noticed Zhu Qingshuang’s anxious demeanor, understanding that something was amiss. But he didn’t know Artifact Refining; even if he wished to assist, he was powerless.

The only thing he could do was channel his Spiritual Energy into Zhu Qingshuang’s body. Upon receiving Ye Haochuan’s Spiritual Energy, Zhu Qingshuang finally managed to relax a little.

”Oh no!”

Just as she thought everything was fine, a violent suction force suddenly emanated from the flower wrapped in darkness and starlight.

”What’s happening?”

Ye Haochuan’s expression drastically changed. At that moment, he felt his and Zhu Qingshuang’s Spiritual Energy was just like water from an open tap, continuously flowing out.

”I don’t know either, but I can’t control my Spiritual Energy!”

Zhu Qingshuang’s face became paler. Her Spiritual Energy was being siphoned away; if it weren’t for Ye Haochuan supporting her, she might already be exhausted.

”Qingshuang, here, take this pill.”

Ye Haochuan handed a Spiritual Energy replenishing pill to Zhu Qingshuang, who felt slightly better after taking it. After Zhu Qingshuang took it, Ye Haochuan also popped a handful into his mouth to replenish his own depletion.

Through this, Ye Haochuan and Zhu Qingshuang repeatedly consumed Spiritual Energy while replenishing it until five cycles, when the suction suddenly ceased.

Clang~

A peculiar sound rang out in the void, and a sword-like object appeared again from within the starry black flower.

”Phew... It’s done...”

Zhu Qingshuang finally exhaled and leaned softly against Ye Haochuan, eventually recovering enough to stand on her own.

Really, is it really done?

Ye Haochuan held Zhu Qingshuang in his arms, yet his mind was free from stray thoughts, filled solely with tension and anticipation.

He seemed as nervous as a father outside the delivery room, eagerly waiting for his soon-to-arrive child.

Amazing! What’s the principle here?

With mounting anxiety, Ye Haochuan suddenly noticed the black flower morphing back into an ethereal form, sprouting roots.

These roots swayed with the wind, initially appearing delicate but soon growing numerous and thick.

After a while, these roots ceased multiplying and thickening, while the flower and roots began shrinking.

As they contracted towards the sword-like object, they emitted a ”shhh” sound. Listening solely to the sound, Ye Haochuan might have mistaken it for something being corroded by Aqua Regia.

”Qingshuang, what’s happening?”

Ye Haochuan couldn’t comprehend the process, so he turned to Zhu Qingshuang for explanations.

”I don’t know either. Ever since the exotic ore was added, I’ve lost control over it.”

She pointed to the black object resembling a flower bud, twinkling with starlight, and the similarly luminous black roots.

”What?”

At this, Ye Haochuan was utterly speechless. An Artifact Refiner clueless about their refining process was unheard of, let alone seen.

But this Artifact Refiner was his wife; she wouldn’t deceive him. Moreover, Ye Haochuan understood it’s due to the exotic ore. Zhu Qingshuang added it based on his decision, causing her exhaustion.

”Hehe, don’t worry. Although I’m uncertain, I can somewhat guess.”

Zhu Qingshuang chuckled lightly and softly asked, ”Haochuan, do you remember the crafting process for treasures I mentioned?”

”Yeah, of course, you’re referring to the five processes and four steps, right?”

Ye Haochuan nodded, responding affirmatively.

”Wow, impressive! You remember it so clearly!”

Zhu Qingshuang was truly surprised by Ye Haochuan. She recalled mentioning it casually, yet Ye Haochuan remembered it till now.

”Haha, naturally. Otherwise, how could I be your husband, right, Qingshuang!”

Ye Haochuan chuckled shamelessly.

”What’s happening now should be the casting process. Though unusual, its fundamental principle remains the same.”

Zhu Qingshuang rolled her eyes, her gaze fixed on the shrinking flower bud, patiently explaining to Ye Haochuan’s earnest inquiries.

”Oh, so that’s how it is!”

Ye Haochuan nodded, gradually understanding.

While Ye Haochuan and Zhu Qingshuang were conversing, the flower bud shadow shifted to the sword hilt, while the roots enveloped the sword.

Moreover, the flower bud and roots started forming an intriguing, ethereal pattern on the blade, carrying an inexplicable resonance.

”Hey? Qingshuang, look at the ethereal pattern on the sword hilt. Doesn’t it resemble the flower bud?”

Ye Haochuan exclaimed softly, pointing to the ethereal pattern on the sword hilt.
