After Zhang Meng's speech, the people around paid him no more mind.
They simply saw Xu Nian as a newcomer at the entry-level, without much interest to spare.
And Xu Nian couldn't care less to explain himself, his attention quickly shifted to the two players in the field.
The two had already begun the first process of Artifact Refining, melting.
So-called melting is the melting of Artifact Refining Materials in order to extract the useful Artifact Refining materials.
Generally, the more high-end the Artifact Refining material, the more powerful the flames needed, otherwise, one cannot melt the Artifact Refining Material.
Both contenders in the field had brought forth flames, kindled through Secret Techniques, slightly stronger than ordinary flames but not immensely.
After all, they were still only Artifact Refining Apprentices.
After producing the flames, they placed them into the Artifact Furnace, using its advantage to completely melt the two iron ores.
