After simply bandaging his wounds, Ye Zhen got up, but did not return to his residence. Instead, he went to the mountain behind his clan.

The back mountain of the Ye Family was originally an extinct volcano. Later, it was gradually developed into a natural furnace that was used to forge artifacts.

Unfortunately, the Ye Clan didn't have any outstanding weapons craftsmen in their time, so they couldn't refine any good magical equipment. They could only be used to refine ordinary weapons and low-grade magical tools. They could be sold in the marketplace and were one of the main sources of income for the Ye Clan.

Ye Zhen was naturally not here to refine weapons.

He wanted to make use of the high temperature within the volcano furnace to speed up the refining of the fragmented artifacts, cultivate the [Alchemy] cultivation technique, and increase his strength.

By relying on his own strength, he was able to refine the remnants of magical equipment at a speed that was too slow.

Thus, he had to use external forces.

Moreover, cultivating in this kind of high-temperature environment was extremely beneficial for his body.

At the entrance, he paid the toll of two spirit stones and entered the volcano furnace.

A wave of heat rushed towards him, and the surrounding air seemed to be set alight. Taking in a deep breath, he suddenly felt a burning sensation in his throat, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Ordinary people wouldn't be able to withstand this kind of high temperature. Even if it was a cultivator, they would have to use spiritual energy to resist the heat. People that were too weak wouldn't be able to stay for long either.

Not far from the volcano's furnace, Ye Zhen heard a clanging sound. This was the family's workshop, which was producing weapons. Normal people were not allowed to enter this area.

On the right hand side, there was a long path, on both sides of which were independent refining rooms. Some disciples in the clan who liked refining would be able to enter after paying the usage fee, and then use the heat from the volcano to try refining.

Of course, there were also some disciples who practiced fire type techniques that would come here to cultivate and absorb a dense amount of fire spirit energy.

Ye Zhen walked into the passageway and noticed that there was quite a number of people outside of the artifact forging room not far in front of him. They were currently discussing animatedly amongst themselves.

”Ye Ling can be said to be the most talented disciple of the Ye family. Although she is a woman, she can endure more hardships than anyone else. This time, I wonder if she will be able to successfully refine a low-grade magic tool. ”

”If I successfully refine it, Ye Ling will definitely be highly valued and nurtured by the family. With her talent, she would probably be able to enter the Myriad Treasures Sect, where she would be able to refine low-grade magic tools at such a young age. In the future, her accomplishments would definitely not be any worse than other geniuses.

”We have to build a good relationship with someone like that. Xuan Artifact does not dare to think of what kind of spiritual weapon, so it should not be difficult to get some high-grade magic tools! ”

So there was a disciple trying to refine a low-grade magic tool. No wonder it attracted so much attention.

Ye Zhen didn't pay too much attention and directly passed through the crowd. He found an empty refining room and walked in.

Amongst the crowd, someone discovered Ye Zhen and could not help but sneer, ”Isn't that trash Ye Zhen? Even after so many years, his talent was still only at the 3rd level of the Refinement Realm. You actually dared to come into this volcano furnace. You are truly courting death. ”

”Leave him alone. It won't be long before he comes out himself, crestfallen. ”
