With that thought, she turned to Julius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius looked back at her and gave a small nod. He crossed his legs and sat down on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His face hid all the excitement he felt inside. \"Alright,\" he said calmly, \"let’s start the refinement.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned his eyes back to the scroll. The first thing he needed was the treasure refining fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Julius thought ’Treasure refining fire!’, a bright blue flame appeared right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The fire burned strong and steady, its heat like a furnace blazing close to his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet he felt almost no discomfort from it, even though he sat so near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius let out a heavy breath as he stared down at the formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first part was the time path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His first job was to create a skeleton of the entire formula. It would hold all the spell formulas together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This skeleton would serve as the base where he would place every material to build the treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced sideways. The Lone King stood there silently. He was the last material.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could only be used once. But fortunately, that final step needed 99.9 percent completion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant the boy would go in at the very end, and the moment he was added, the treasure would be complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that, though, Julius had to refine all the other materials first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The time and energy it would take could not be explained in simple words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And every failure would bring injuries, sharp backlash from the refinement process hitting him hard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa...\" Julius sighed softly before he continued.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand and drew the formula of the time path slowly in the air. Right away, a shimmering purple circle appeared in front of the blue fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The circle looked messy at first, with formulas scattered here and there in every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out with his finger and placed his hand firmly on the circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hand stayed on the scroll to check every detail, while the other hand carefully fixed the formulas and moved them into their rightful places exactly as the formula showed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whosh!\" A soft whooshing sound filled the air as the circle’s color changed gently, turning into a smooth, soft purple.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment it was finished, Julius threw the completed formula straight into the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bright blue flames instantly burned even stronger, like someone had thrown powerful forging powder into them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soft sparks danced across the surface before the fire itself transformed and took the exact shape of the time path circle from just moments earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina and the Lone King watched the whole process in complete silence. Rosalina could clearly see how difficult this refinement would be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It would take a lot of time before they finished it, and during that long process there would certainly be many difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’One of those difficulties would definitely be the dean,’ she thought. ’He would arrive here for sure.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he stood at the fourth heavenly trial and could force his way through with his strong cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But if they could refine this treasure before he arrived, then they would have a real chance of killing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though after the refinement they could simply get out of here, they still wanted to kill that old geezer who had sucked up to the trash protagonist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rosalina’s thoughts stayed sharp and clear....she would kill him the moment she got the chance. Julius held the exact same thought, but right now he had a much bigger job to focus on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stared at the next formula attached to the scroll. It was the wind path formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Julius drew it carefully in the air, and a transparent-looking circle shimmered into existence right in front of him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He fixed the alignments of the scattered equations and formulas once more, carefully placing them onto the fire that had already turned into the purple formula.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the new circle fell onto the flames, it changed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, half of it stayed a soft purple while the other half became a transparent-looking circle that shimmered gently in the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Haa...\" Julius let out a long breath as he looked at the rest of the formulas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were ten in total, and each one was very difficult. Once he put all of them on the fire, they would create a furnace that looked like a rectangular oven.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This oven would become the solid skeleton for the treasure, and every material would go inside it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to the scroll, this furnace could support up to a hundred tries, exactly the number he needed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant he would not have to create the furnace again and again with each attempt. Only the materials would be destroyed each time he failed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the process might look easy from the outside, it was definitely not. After all, it was already hard to find even the materials for a supreme grade treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were so rare and difficult to get that some families spent their entire fortune on them and still could not afford to attempt a refinement more than ten or twenty times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why everyone who refined treasures needed experts from the alchemy path, who could raise the chances of success.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So if refining a supreme grade treasure was already this hard, then how difficult would a celestial grade treasure be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why Julius felt so amazed. There were enough materials here to refine a celestial grade treasure, and he was doing it as a complete amateur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With yet another sigh, Julius concentrated hard on the formula. The next one was the fire path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Fire path!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1062,"2026-06-10T05:56:22.118Z",1,"novelbin.me","b690a12327f7232a58f1ea1683ae4e31ffcd206d25949d3880a10ff083f124a0","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-157","villainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-chapter-155",220,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fvillainess-x-villain-they-are-obsessed-with-each-cover.jpg"]
