The early hours of the 7th day of the first month found Li Xuan in the Artifact Refining Pavilion of the Liudao Division, cheering in delight as he watched two rays of silver light emerge from the central 'Hunyuan Wuji Furnace', flutter around in circles, then landed in front of him.
This was the supreme magical implement that the Liudao Division had crafted for him; after Li Xuan infused one drop of his blood into it and after a day and night of smelting, it was finally complete.
"This thing has a spirit." The master of the Artifact Refining Pavilion stroked his long beard upon seeing this, and said with a beaming smile: "You don't know how much material we've put into this magical implement. As such, although this Xuanwu Heart-protecting Mirror does not have the real intelligence like an immortal artifact, it does possess some initial consciousness."
Li Xuan's eyes gleamed, and he gently caressed the object in his hands, sharing a spiritual bond.
