Upon arriving at the steel mill, Lu Yang and his group were quickly led into a secret space. This space was vast, with the cylindrical smelting furnace at its center, and the surroundings were covered with special materials, ensuring that even if an explosion occurred, it would not spill out.
"It seems the boss of this steel mill is quite a talent, thinking so meticulously!" Lu Yang said with a slight smile.
"Boss, shall we start refining now?" Gu Laheng Deli asked Lu Yang.
"Let's wait a bit longer, until midnight, when the yin energy is at its peak and the earth fire is strongest. The magical artifacts refined at that time will definitely be the best!" Lu Yang stated directly.
"Alright!" Gu Laheng Deli nodded. It was already half-past eleven, and in another half hour, it would be midnight. Everyone prepared all the materials, then turned the fire to its highest point. They all looked forward expectantly, waiting for the artifact refining to begin. They had never seen how magical artifacts were refined, so their hearts were filled with anticipation.
As midnight struck, Lu Yang directly struck the Five-Colored Divine Stone with his palm. The continuous spiritual energy and the terrifying aura within the Five-Colored Divine Stone converged, becoming integrated. Lu Yang threw the Five-Colored Divine Stone directly into the flames, causing a crackling sound. Lu Yang then sat cross-legged on the ground, channeling all his spiritual energy into the smelting furnace, and the flames instantly intensified.
Watching the Five-Colored Divine Stone melt bit by bit, Lu Yang's heart finally felt a glimmer of hope. When the time was right, Lu Yang threw in all the remaining materials. The entire smelting furnace instantly turned dark green, then purple, and finally black, a very peculiar transformation. These three colors constantly shifted. Lu Yang knew this was the effect of the top-grade jade, the Purple Radiance Goldstone, and the Black Radiance Goldstone. These materials would continuously fuse with the Five-Colored Divine Stone, pushing the integration to its extreme. When they were refined to their utmost, the materials would be perfect.
"Increase the heat, break through!" Lu Yang roared, and the flames were immediately raised to one thousand degrees. The raging fire could melt steel, and everything in the smelting furnace had now turned into colorful liquid, shimmering with a five-colored radiance.
"It's done!" Lu Yang smiled slightly, then leaped directly into the smelting furnace.
"Boss!" "Chairman Lu!" The two shouted loudly upon seeing Lu Yang jump into the refining furnace. This was a thousand-degree furnace, capable of instantly melting steel, let alone flesh and blood.
However, Lu Yang possessed the Black Dragon Token, which allowed him to absorb all the intense solar energy within the flames. After he jumped in, the thousand-degree inferno caused no harm to Lu Yang's body. In less than a minute, all the colorful liquid fused into Lu Yang's skin, forming a five-colored armor that seemed to be worn on his body.
At this moment, Lu Yang jumped out of the smelting furnace. The multicolored armor on his body flashed with light, making everyone unable to open their eyes. Lu Yang instantly retracted the radiance of the Five-Colored Battle Armor, revealing his original appearance. Miraculously, his clothes had all been restored to his body, not even a corner was burnt.
"Boss, you almost scared me to death just now. I thought you were going to do something foolish and end your life. I haven't even tasted the spirit medicine you custom-made for me yet. If you had ended your life, wouldn't I have lost out?" Gu Laheng Deli said with a grin upon seeing Lu Yang.
"You, you can never forget your medicine. It seems like you can't stop taking medicine in the future!" Lu Yang said speechlessly.
"Chairman Lu, are you alright?" Lin Guoxiong also asked with concern.
"I'm fine. I just retracted the Five-Colored Battle Armor. It's very good. From now on, when I fight, I'll have a trump card for survival!" Lu Yang said with a smile.
"Congratulations, Chairman Lu!" "Congratulations, Boss!" The two congratulated Lu Yang in unison upon hearing this.
"The great task is accomplished, we can head back!" "Let's go, Old Lin. Come to my Cloud Top Villa. I have a good thing to give you as a thank you!" Lu Yang invited Lin Guoxiong to Cloud Top Villa. Lu Yang then took out two jade bottles that he had refined earlier. One bottle contained a potent tonic for Gu Laheng Deli's kidney, and the other bottle contained only one pill, which was for Lin Guoxiong to extend his lifespan. This was also the medicine Lu Yang had refined using the Life-Sustaining Flower he had found earlier. This pill was extremely precious. For an ordinary person, after taking it, their bodily functions would immediately recover to their peak, they would be immune to all diseases, and could easily live to be a hundred years old.
Both of them thanked Lu Yang with great excitement.
"You're welcome. You are so loyal to me, this is just a small token of my appreciation. There will be more in the future!" Lu Yang said to them with a smile. Lu Yang never stinted with his subordinates; as long as he could help them, Lu Yang would always offer his assistance without delay.
"Boss, the Snow Country tycoon you asked me to find has arrived in Jiangbei City. Tomorrow morning, they will go to Black Dragon Capital to meet with President Shen of Black Dragon Capital!" Gu Laheng Deli said to Lu Yang with a smile.
"En, Gu Laheng Deli, you've been thoughtful!" "First, try the effect of this bottle of medicine. After you finish it, I'll refine another for you!" "I will refine medicine that is more suitable for your physique based on your control over the medicine's effects!" Lu Yang said to Gu Laheng Deli with a smile.
"Haha, I knew it, Boss, you are the best to me, you truly love me!" Gu Laheng Deli said excitedly upon hearing this.
"Get lost. I'm not interested in men, especially a man in his forties!" Lu Yang said disdainfully.
"That's a pity. I was prepared to offer myself. Since you don't like it, Boss, I won't force it. I'll leave now. I'll go test the effect of this medicine tonight!" After Gu Laheng Deli finished speaking, he left Cloud Top Villa, and Lin Guoxiong also departed at the same time.
"Today, I've finally taken a big step forward. With this defensive armor, even if I encounter a strong expert at the divine realm, I'll have the strength to fight. After all, this armor cost two billion, and its value is priceless. Besides atomic bombs, no weapon can break it!" "However, I'm still very curious as to why the Five-Colored Divine Stone appeared. I wonder how Huang Heiniu's investigation is going!" As Lu Yang was thinking, his phone rang. It was Huang Heiniu calling.
"Speak of the devil!" Lu Yang smiled slightly and answered the phone directly.
