The sky had not yet lightened, and Master Lu already led his disciples in their busy tasks.
Refining important magic artifacts required the assistance of favorable timing and location, and naturally, a ritual ceremony was indispensable.
It was not only necessary to offer a ritual to the Ancestor of the blacksmith trade, Lord Lao Zi of the Great Monad, but also to Emperor Guan.

At the forefront was a newly erected furnace, along with a bellows, hammer, anvil, and other tools.
All of these were bound with red cloth.
