BXBX NOVEL Chapter 157 - Purification With Thought
\'Kacha\'
The moment he heard that crisp sound, Henrick\'s excitement disappeared into thin air.
\'Ding,
The refinement has failed. Please try again.
As usual, the system notified him regarding his failure that made him even more depressed.
\'Pak\'
All of a sudden, he slapped himself with both hands and he came out of his depression.
\'I will try once more,\'
Soon, he continued to repeat the process another three times before he successfully completed the last to the second step.
\'Phew\'
\'Now I need to observe that dagger inside my pure internal fire,\'
He only heaved a sigh of relief for a second before focusing on the semi-finished dagger in the pure internal fire energy in front of him.
In the next second, he tried to remember the last step of the refining and closed his eyes and tried to sense the dagger.
\'Woah\'
Just as he imagined to focus on the dagger, Henrick felt he was in some kind of space and in front of him, his semi-finished dagger was hovering along with him.
He was shocked by everything that was currently happening to him and let out an exclamation.
\'What are those things on the dagger?\'
After checking his surroundings for a while, he saw some black coloured dots on the surface of the dagger and tried to touch it.
\'Swoosh\'
As soon as he touched it, the black dot disappeared from the surface of the dagger and a shining surface appeared in that place.
\'What?\'
Henrick was shocked by the sudden revelation about refining and thought in his head, \'So, all these black coloured dots are the impurities of the metal.\'
\'What am I waiting for? Let\'s make it into a shining dagger,\'
Without wasting any time, he started touching one black dot after another and the shining surface continued to increase on the dagger.
\'Uff...uff\'
All of a sudden, he felt tired as though he had worked for days without rest and stopped touching the black dots.
\'Damn it...at this rate, I won\'t be able to complete the last step of refining,\' Henrick looked at the black dots which covered more than 50 percent of the dagger and cursed.
\'I can do it...I can do it,\'
He took a few moments of rest and started repeating the last step of refining a weapon, Purification.
\'Uff...uff\'
\'I can\'t do it anymore,\'
Henrick felt like he would die from exhaustion if he continued any longer and stopped touching the black dots on the dagger before opening his eyes.
\'Ding,
The refinement has failed.
\'So what? I learned a new thing today. I can refine a weapon for sure next time,\'
After many times of failing in refining a weapon, Henrick, for the first time, was not disappointed with the failure and felt confident in refining it.
\'Anyway, Looks like I have to refine it only after a week,\'
It\'s been almost three hours. So, Henrick didn\'t bother to refine another time as he was already very tired.
\'Ding,
The trial time had ended.
\'Ding,
The challenger failed to refine a weapon within the given time period.
\'Ding,
The challenger needs to wait for at least a week to request the ascending trial from the trial master.
\'Ding,
Teleporting the challenger from the trial room to the main hall of the inheritance building.
Soon, the system notifications could be resounded in his head as he was teleported from the trial room.
"Trial master, how much time is it before the sun sets?"
As soon as he appeared in the main hall, Henrick asked the invisible trial master about the time.
\'Ding,
Still, one hour left.
"Great," Henrick nodded his head after seeing the system notification and said, "I will take some rest before attempting another level 0 trial."
\'Since I can not request for the level 1 ascending trial, I can ask for level 0 trials, right?\'
This was the thought in his mind when he said his earlier words to the trial master.
\'Ding,
Once the challenger fails an ascending trial, he could no longer request for any more trials on the same day.
\'Ding,
Also, until he could complete his ascending trial, he can only request one trial per day of his current challenger level.
Just when he thought to take some rest, the trial master sent some more rules about the trials that made Henrick shake his head.
\'Sigh...fine then. I will go now and come again tomorrow,\'
Henrick sighed as he decided to go to the working disciples\' courtyard as he could not get any more trials for today.
\'Ding,
Congratulations to the challenger for successfully comprehending the \'Purification with the thought\' for weapons.
\'Ding,
The trial master awarded the challenger with 1000 crude souls.
\'Ding,
Updated crude souls:- 8413.
Just as he was thinking he forgot something, the trial master rewarded him with another 1000 crude souls.
\'That\'s right! I thought to check the soul store for some items that I can use for now,\'
Since he still needed a week or so before getting that access to learn the prices of the two items, he thought to spend little crude souls to see whether he could find some items that might interest him.
\'Also, is that what I learned from the projection?\'
He once again checked the notification and thought to himself, \'Purification with thought? Bullshit...I literally tired to death by doing so and you call it with just a thought.\'
Thinking of how tired he was in the endless black space, Henrick became a little agitated as he cursed the title name.
\'Calm down, calm down. It is still a good technique though,\'
Nevertheless, Henrick felt it was a good technique because he could completely separate the impurities from the weapon making it stronger and powerful.
\'Time to check the store,\'
Soon, he stopped thinking about it and walked towards the \'Soul store\' to check out some items.
\'Show me some good items below 1000 crude souls,\'
He put a limit for himself that he should only spend 1000 crude souls. More than that, he had to leave the inheritance building without thinking for a second.
"1000 crude souls items"
"Endurance boosting pill x 1"
"Small defence talisman x 1"
.
.
.
"Small comprehension pills x 1"
.
.
.
.
"Small energy storage talisman x 1"
Soon, many items appeared on the light screen and all of them were priced at 1000 crude souls.
There were other items below that price; however, Henrick felt it was just a waste of his crude souls to buy them as he would most likely get them through the daily missions or in any other means. So, he only checked the items that were priced at 1000 crude souls as he felt they were both useful and worth the crude souls.
\'There are even comprehension pills here. Looks like I should have used it for the \'Trail:- Comprehension\'. Then I could have comprehended more books,\'
Henrick felt pain when he thought he was rash and shook his head.
\'Ding,
The trial master would have not allowed the challenger to use that item as it would be cheating the trial.
Just as he was bitterly shaking his head, the trial master\'s notification made his mood better and soon he started looking for an item on the light screen.
