"Calm down, calm down …"
Luo Feng took a deep breath. Perhaps because of his outstanding talent, his first time making a card was unusually smooth.
Now, he was at the last step. If he chose the wrong material and made a big mistake, that would be too depressing!
Seeming to have seen Luo Feng's confusion, Qi Jin said with a smile, "Since the materials that can be added are limited, then the material you choose must match the most prominent characteristics of the Star Card."
"If you don't know what to add, then re-examine your Star Card pattern and background, extract the core characteristics, and add the corresponding material."
Luo Feng cast a grateful look, and once again examined the background of his Star Card. "The Bone Freezing Fire is a kind of magical flame, a peculiar flame that combines extreme cold and extreme heat. It can only be encountered in the land of extreme cold and extreme cold every hundred years, when the sun and moon alternate."
It could be seen that although this flame was called the Bone Freezing Fire, it had nothing to do with bones.
If one were to extract the key words from this sentence, it should be: extreme cold, extreme heat, and the alternation of the sun and moon.
Ice represented extreme cold.
Flame represented extreme heat.
Then the last material was on the verge of being revealed.
It should be a material that could symbolize the alternation of the sun and moon.
The alternation of the sun and moon referred to time. Could it be that he had to find a watch?
He expressed his confusion to Qi Jin.
Qi Jin was slightly surprised. Time was such an abstract material, but a very advanced concept. Luo Feng was going to use it on his first time making a card?
He patiently explained, "Time is a very special kind of existence. It is not a real material, so it is very simple to use it. You only need to synthesize it at the moment you want."
"I see."
Luo Feng nodded and looked outside the palace. The sun was already setting in the west, and it wouldn't be long before the moon rose. He would just have to wait.
He hoped that was really the reason, and not the lack of other key materials.
After all, there was only one chance.
If he didn't succeed in making a card, then he wouldn't be able to reflect his value, and the Empress would have no reason to keep him.
Otherwise, why would he stay? Because of his 17cm long … fingers?
Luo Feng raised his head, looked at the empress, and said, "The last material required to synthesize a Star Card is when the sun and moon alternate. Therefore, Luo Feng boldly requests Emperor Yan to allow me to wait until evening."
The Empress rested her chin on her hand and nodded, "Fine, I hope you won't disappoint me."
Thus, Luo Feng walked out of the hall, looked up at the sky, and waited quietly.
Qin Sheng was dumbfounded because he really couldn't figure out what ice, fire, and time could combine into.
The large hall quickly fell into silence.
After a short while, Qi Jin sighed. "Everyone who writes novels has potential. You should still remember how the Nebula Legion of the Northern Desert rose to power, right?"
Qin Sheng said, "It was because they took in a refugee, a refugee who could write novels."
The Empress's mind drifted as if she had fallen into a long memory. She murmured, "That refugee was indeed a talent. The old Emperor Yan once sent his disciples to challenge him with five scene cards. Who would have thought that the refugee would defeat them so easily?"
Qin Sheng nodded and sighed. "What was even more ridiculous was that he actually defeated the Saint of the Yan Dynasty in the Star Card Tournament of the Tianyuan Continent and took away the championship that had always belonged to us."
The Empress's red lips parted slightly. "That refugee was indeed a talent. May I know where he is now?"
Qi Jin shook his head. "After winning the championship five years ago, he left the Tianyuan Continent and abducted the boss of the Nebula Legion. His whereabouts are unknown."
A tinge of regret flashed across the Empress's beautiful eyes. She was slightly disappointed. "The Nebula Legion is really lucky. Even a random refugee is a treasure. Why isn't the Yan Dynasty so lucky?"
Qi Jin smiled. "That's why everyone who writes novels has potential. Who knows, maybe he will be the next."
Jiang Taiyuan stared at Qi Jin and was silent for a moment. Then he slowly said, "Although there is that gem in front of us, I don't think there are many authors in the Imperial City who have achieved anything on the Star Card."
"So, aren't you thinking too highly of Luo Feng?"
Qin Sheng shook his head. "To be honest, in my opinion, Luo Feng has completely defeated all the authors in the Imperial City."
"The novels written by these authors are too conventional. They start with either breaking off the engagement, or the girlfriend running away with the second generation. They pick up a mysterious ring, fall off a cliff and pick up a divine skill, or the reincarnation of the Emperor being bullied by Evil Fury …"
"As for me, I have finished all three of Luo Feng's novels. Although they are all unfinished, his imagination … Tsk tsk … It made me feel like I was reading a novel for the first time. I can't stop. It's so satisfying that I can't wait to lock him in a small dark room to urge him to write more!"
Jiang Taiyuan's eyes flickered. "Let's wait and see then."
Time passed quietly.
Unknowingly, the sun was setting in the west, and a crescent moon was rising slowly.
"Now, it should be the time for the sun and the moon to change, right?"
Luo Feng took a deep breath and calmed his churning emotions. Then, he clenched his teeth and pressed the button on the screen!
"System auditing …"
However, the Star Card system seemed to be stuck. Logically speaking, the previous auditing was done in seconds. But this time, it took a full five minutes.
"God bless me. I don't need any cheat code. I just need a way to live …"
Luo Feng clenched his fists and prayed in his heart. Whether he could stay or not, it all depended on this one move!
"Auditing passed. Star Card generation is in progress …"
Boom!
This sentence was like a sudden clap of thunder that suddenly exploded in Luo Feng's mind. He looked at the screen in disbelief. It actually succeeded?
Time to eat.
A card popped out from the screen and fell into his palm.
Luo Feng looked at the Star Card. On the front of the Star Card, there was a white Bone Freezing Fire. It was even a picture.
On the back, there was an introduction about the Star Card:
Bone Freezing Fire
Grade: Black Iron
Category: Spell Card
Skills:
【Alchemy Fire】: The Bone Freezing Fire can be used to refine pills and increase the medicinal properties of the pills that have already been refined.
【Ice and Fire】: Because the Bone Freezing Fire is cold, it can cause hallucinations in the target and cause fatal damage to the target. The target will constantly switch between extreme cold and extreme heat and be tortured.
At this time, a white-haired old man walked into the hall. He bowed to the Empress and pointed at a stack of Star Card in his hand. "Reporting to Emperor Yan, the Sanctum Academy's tryouts have been completed three days ago. These are the Star Card Masters that have passed the test and created Star Card."
Ever since the Empress ascended to the throne, she had begun to popularize the Star Card across the entire dynasty. She had even set up academies to train Star Card Masters.
The biggest academy in the Yan Dynasty was called the Sanctum Academy.
Every year, the Sanctum Academy would recruit Star Card Masters from the entire Emperor Yan Dynasty. If one could be selected, he or she would be trained by the dynasty with all its resources.
The annual test was simple. The examiner would set a question. If one could create a Star Card that matched the test question, he or she would pass the test and be able to enter the Sanctum to cultivate.
This year was the third anniversary of Emperor Yan's ascension, so the test question was "Flame," which was to create a Star Card that was related to the flame.
The Empress nodded slightly. Her slender fingers moved, and a light flashed. Suddenly, the stack of Star Card disappeared and turned into flames that filled the sky.
Those flames were of different colors and emitted a strange wave. It raised the temperature of the hall by a lot.
Among them, four types of flames were like cranes in a flock of chickens. They were surrounded by the other flames like stars surrounding the moon.
Qi Jin exclaimed, "This year's batch of Star Card Masters is of unprecedented quality."
"The Purple Fire of the Prince Of Qi's residence."
"The Blue Phoenix Demonic Fire of the Blue Phoenix Clan."
"The Purple Spirit Myrtle Fire of the Purple Cloud Sect."
"The Nine Underworld Flames of the Burning Flame Valley."
Looking at the colorful flames, Qin Sheng was a little excited. He couldn't help but exclaim, "Our Emperor Yan Dynasty is full of talents and talents."
Even the expressionless Jiang Taiyuan nodded approvingly at this moment.
However, the Empress was a little dispirited. Those Star Card Masters were indeed good, but that was it. It was far from enough to make her eyes light up.
"My first Star Card is synthesized just like that?"
Luo Feng looked at the two words "Black Iron" and fell into deep thought. He didn't know what the Black Iron level was in terms of the quality of the Star Card.
He flicked his finger, and a light flashed. Star energy rose, and the Star Card turned into a white flame that slowly rose from his fingertip.
However, almost at the same time when it appeared, the temperature of the hall seemed to drop a little.
The various flames that were originally jumping and cheering became a lot more dispirited at this moment.
It was as if a gust of wind had blown past, causing the flames of various colors to sway slightly. However, in the next instant, the flames all pointed towards Luo Feng at the same time.
To be precise, it was the bone-white flame in his hand that was emitting a cold air.
That scene was like a subject worshipping the Emperor.
When the Strange Flame descended, all flames submitted.
For a moment, the hall fell into a dead silence.
