Han Zhan was taken aback for a moment, and then responded: "I understand somewhat. The mainstream of Artifact Refining nowadays is known for its meticulous complexities, while the ancient method extols nature, simplicity, and rusticity. To put it visually... Let me give you an example!"
"Imagine you're given the toughest bullhead of a Hammer Bull Demon to craft a Skull-shattering Hammer Artefact. Using the ancient methods, it involves digging out the flesh, then filling it with metal, setting up an Array, and there you have a Skull-shattering Hammer. In contrast, using the mainstream methods nowadays, you'd likely remove its impurities, extract its essence, refine it into a liquid, fill it with various materials that enhance the power of the Hammer Bull Demon, mold it, and then finally engrave Arrays to produce a formidable Skull-shattering Hammer."
