Chapter 103 Refining Spiritual Weapons (2)
After he forged eight low-grade spiritual weapons, he felt that he was capable of forging mid-grade spiritual weapons. This was the confidence that the master weapon refiner gave him. He could easily become a level three weapon refiner. Only then would he feel the difficulty of weapon forging. Now, with the addition of the two Azure Serpent Spirit Swords he had forged, he now had eighteen spiritual weapons in his hands, worth nearly 20,000 low-grade spirit stones. This wealth was something that even Golden Core cultivators would be tempted by.
Now he is refining his own Xuan Shui Zi Dian Gun, a spiritual weapon that is very suitable for his attributes. He is originally of the water attribute, but also has lightning, just like Gu Yuchuan's original body, which is mainly of the water attribute. As his bloodline grows, he will slowly develop the talent of lightning. After all, before the Thunder God and Lightning Goddess appeared, only the dragon race could control clouds and rain. It is very normal for the dragon race to have the talent of lightning in their bloodline.
The main material of this magical artifact is called Linglong True Wood. Legend has it that it can only be born in Linglong Treasure Land, also known as a blessed land. It is extremely precious and cannot be bought with money.
These are just the main materials. The other ingredients are equally precious. You also need something called Yin-Yang Immortal Jade. This is a relatively common material in weapon crafting, but it is extremely precious. Its main function is to mix two different attributes together so that they complement each other and do not interfere with each other. It is something that can further enhance the power of a spiritual weapon.
The final finishing touch is the Lightning Bead. This is a man-made material. Powerful beings can manipulate lightning and condense it into beads imbued with the laws of lightning. Although it is not particularly precious, it can only be condensed by cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, making it extremely rare. Each of these materials can be said to be more precious than the last.
Gu Yuchuan carefully studied the diagram several times, and when he was sure he understood how to forge this magical artifact, he prepared to start.
The first step must be to dissolve the material, and the only thing that needs to be dissolved is the Lightning Pearl. The exquisite wood is used for carving. He used his magic power to control the earth fire and began to dissolve it little by little. The power of the lightning constantly impacted his magic power, making it very difficult for him to control. The earth fire was even somewhat unruly under the power of the lightning. Slowly, the Lightning Pearl turned into a ball of purple liquid.
He was about to begin carving the exquisite wood. The wood was incredibly hard, and he found it quite difficult to carve. After all, the shape of the spear was very important; even the slightest imperfection in the lines could prevent the magic from flowing smoothly, leading to a failure in the refining process.
A fine layer of sweat had already appeared on his forehead, but he didn't have time to wipe it away. He was so engrossed in carving that for a moment, his world seemed to consist only of refining the weapon, and he forgot everything else. Two hours later, the shape had been carved out.
The spear looked incredibly imposing, entirely blue with a dragon coiled around it. Gu Yuchuan was very satisfied; the thought of wielding such a spear against his enemies was exhilarating.
This is only the first step in the refining process. It's still a long way from being truly finished. The second step is to fuse the materials together.
He placed the carved spear into the lightning water, and instantly the water began to boil. He immediately controlled the Yin-Yang Immortal Jade to add it in, starting to balance the water and lightning attributes. Fortunately, these two attributes were complementary; they were not inherently antagonistic, like water and fire. So, under the Immortal Jade, they slowly fused together. At this point, the refining process was more than halfway complete.
The final step is quenching. Since so many precious materials have already been used, Gu Yuchuan doesn't mind using a little more. He takes out a bottle of Yellow Spring Water, which is the best quenching material among second-level materials. It can increase the toughness of the spiritual weapon and increase its power, making him even more powerful.
After a puff of white smoke, the Xuan Shui Zi Dian Gun was finally freshly made. It looked so domineering. Gu Yuchuan could feel immense power as soon as he held it, which would make his combat strength even stronger in the future.
As a weapon, its most common use is naturally close combat. Every swing of its weapon carries water vapor and lightning. It can infuse these forces into the opponent's weapon through contact, thereby destroying the opponent's weapon. This is a very powerful and insidious ability. After all, ordinary cultivators value their weapons very much, and they are very distressed if they are damaged even slightly.
The second point is a characteristic that all spiritual weapons have: they can transform into living beings to attack. This Xuan Shui Zi Dian Spear can even transform into a dragon, but it only has the shape and no artistic conception. It only looks like it has the power of a dragon, but in reality, it's just that. After all, a dragon is a beast with the bloodline of a rare beast, and it is a top-level rare beast, at least at the level of a demon emperor.
He gripped the spear with increasing satisfaction. He could feel that his combat power had increased significantly with this weapon, by at least 20%. His original combat power was already formidable, and with this 20% increase, it was even more so. Now, he could truly defeat ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivators at the 30th level. Of course, this only applied to those at the Dao Foundation stage; those at the Purple Mansion stage wouldn't be able to defeat him. However, even those at the Purple Mansion Dao Foundation stage and the second level of Foundation Establishment should be unable to defeat him.
He spent another day refining two more Taiji Violet Smokes, bringing his total number of spiritual artifacts to over twenty. The most precious of these was undoubtedly the Taiji Violet Smokes, as defensive items are always more valuable than offensive ones. This one was probably worth over 1,800 spirit stones.
He didn't immediately leave seclusion, but instead began refining a large number of magical artifacts. After all, a shop can't only have spiritual artifacts; it definitely needs magical artifacts as well. However, he only refined some high-grade and top-grade magical artifacts. After all, he would be focusing on high-quality products in the future, which would be easier and more profitable, and he wouldn't be competing too much with lower-level artifact refiners for business. This way, he could also build a good reputation.
On the fourth day, he finally emerged from seclusion, and upon his return, he received wonderful news: his subordinate, the spirit fish Yu Linglong, had successfully refined pills and become a first-level alchemist. Alchemy was considered the most important of all cultivation arts, and he was overjoyed. He would no longer need to buy pills. He immediately decided to use abundant resources to rapidly improve Yu Linglong's cultivation and alchemy skills. Once she reached Foundation Establishment, he could even spend a fortune to make her a spirit beast.
He immediately summoned Yu Linglong, preparing to meet his little alchemist.
