Was the Wood Generation thod truly the most effective for refinent?
Wang Yulou watched the Patriarch manipulate the spirit fire with rapt attention. Before long, the spirit fire stimulated the innate spiritual nature of the black jade, the core material of the Black Jade Oil Bead.
Whether it was because Foundation Establishnt cultivators were immune to heat or because the Patriarch himself was built differently, he grabbed the Black Jade Oil Bead directly with his bare hand. Reaching into his storage bag, he retrieved a spiritual seed and began to nurture it.
"Look closely. This is the most unique step of refining with the Wood Generation thod. After stimulating the original spiritual nature of the magic treasure, you use a spiritual seed as a guide to connect them.
If you want a better refinent, you must consider the type of spiritual seed. It needs to be compatible with the core traits and materials of the artifact itself.
However, your Black Jade Oil Bead is relatively straightforward. Refining a dium-grade artifact doesn't require being overly picky. After all, it can't possibly be upgraded into a high-grade artifact anyway. This White Elm spiritual seed will suffice."
The Patriarch was truly teaching everything. He wasn't like Hongi, who only told Yulou what to do but never explained why.
Whenever Yulou asked, Hongi would simply brush it off, saying it wasn't ti for him to learn that yet, completely lacking the attitude of passing down a legacy.
"The Black Jade Oil Bead and White Elm wood? Why does that sound so mismatched?"
Wang Yu'an muttered a bit too loudly. The Patriarch glared at him and spoke reprimandingly.
"What do you know? Refining with the Wood Generation thod is simple and fast, but it has a specific drawback. The connected spiritual wood portion and the original core material rarely achieve a high level of compatibility.
It can only enhance functionality. In terms of raw power in magical combat, the gains are minimal.
So, even though it seems like a makeshift solution, no matter how much effort you put into it, the final result will only yield a slight difference."
As the old ancestor of the Wang Clan, the Patriarch's attainnt in artifact refining was truly extraordinary.
Even while lecturing Yu'an, his hands never stopped. He nurtured the spiritual seed, and soon refined the new restrictions into the White Elm spiritual wood portion, completing the refinent.
Taking back the artifact refined by the Patriarch, Yulou realized it could no longer be called a Black Jade Oil Bead.
Perhaps it should be called a Black Jade Staff?
The short handle made of White Elm spiritual wood was only about five or six inches long. At one end of the wooden handle sat the original Black Jade Oil Bead.
"I've added six new layers of restrictions for you. Two layers are for control. By activating these two layers, you only need a tiny shred of magic power and divine sense to manipulate it.
Two layers are responsible for controlling the Black Jade Oil Bead itself. In other words, if you want to use the original functionality of the Black Jade Oil Bead, you only need to invoke four additional layers of restrictions.
The final two layers are detonation restrictions. This is the greatest change after my refinent.
Once these two layers are triggered, the Black Jade Oil Bead will detonate directly. During magical combat, if the enemy is too powerful, you can use it as a disposable single-use artifact.
After the blast, imdiately follow up with a strike from another magic treasure. An ordinary Qi Induction cultivator will certainly perish!"
Looking at the Black Jade Staff in Yulou's hand, Wang Xianmao was exceedingly satisfied.
"Ah? Disposable? But this is a dium-grade artifact?"
Yulou and Yu'an were both dumbfounded. Was their Wang Clan truly this extravagant?
"What about it being a dium-grade artifact? Staying alive is what matters most. I have seen far too many unfortunate cultivators die because they hesitated during a spiritual duel.
You must understand that although this world is governed by the Immortal Alliance, it is entirely normal for cultivators from different sects and factions under the Alliance to fight each other relentlessly.
Flee when you must, and avoid fighting if you can. But when you do strike, you must use thunderous thods without a shred of hesitation!
Our Wang Clan's rules teach you how to endure in the short term to plan for generations. But once you reach the Qi Refining stage and learn the secret inheritances of magical combat, you will know that we do not lack thunderous thods!" the Patriarch instructed.
They certainly didn't lack them. Wang Rongyuan had fought one against three, crushing three high-level Qi Refining cultivators of the sa rank in less than the ti it took to drink a half cup of tea. What did he rely on?
Was it his cultivation base?
Was it his magic treasures?
Was it his secret inheritance?
No, he relied on the Wang Clan's combat legacy!
In this wretched region of Wunan, the Wang Clan had survived for a thousand years. They definitely possessed a few tricks up their sleeves!
Otherwise, Wang Xianmao would not have been chosen to run the Ghost Market Auction.
The status and prestige of the Wang Clan of Anbei Kingdom did not exist because of Anbei Kingdom. Rather, it was because of the Wang Clan that Anbei Kingdom existed, bringing along prestige and status!
"Yu'an, take a look at this turtle shell."
Looking sowhat fatigued, the Patriarch handed the refined Golden Horn Mud Turtle Shell to Yu'an.
Yulou's Black Jade Oil Bead was simple to refine using the Wood Generation thod, but Yu'an's turtle shell possessed a dual attribute of tal and bone. Furthermore, Hongi had only refined three layers of restrictions into it.
The Patriarch had sat in the artifact refining room, using his spirit fire to refine it continuously for four hours before finishing.
It was a stroke of luck that it was only a dium-grade artifact. Had it been a high-grade one, the probability of Wang Xianmao causing it to explode would have skyrocketed.
After all, the Wang Clan's fire-based artificing path inheritance was lacking, and the Patriarch did not possess a fire spirit root.
In truth, the most suitable person to refine the turtle shell was Hongi, but Hongi's skills regarding spiritual bone materials were not particularly outstanding, which was why he had delayed refining it.
Uncle Rongyuan's judgnt had been correct. Hongi had gifted the turtle shell to Yu'an precisely because he knew the Wang Clan excelled in spiritual bone refining thods. It was rely a small, convenient favor.
"Seventeen layers! There are actually seventeen layers! Patriarch, thank you, Patriarch!"
Holding the turtle shell, Yu'an turned it over and over, unable to put it down. He wished he could invoke it right now to show it off.
However, he was only at the second layer of Qi Induction and could not possibly wield a magic treasure with a full seventeen layers of restrictions.
"Alright, you two should head back first. I still need to refine that Immortal Alliance female cultivator's magic seal."
Yulou and Yu'an rose to bow before departing.
——
Stepping out of the refinent room and seeing the bustling crowd on the streets outside, Yu'an's eyes darted around as he spoke to Yulou.
"Brother, shouldn't we look around this Huang Clan's Hundred Treasures Workshop?"
Yulou thought for a mont before replying.
"That works. This is an asset belonging to the family of the Red Lantern Illumination Sect's sect master, and it is located inside a magic treasure. No daring rogue cultivators should be bold enough to stir up trouble here."
Having obtained his elder brother's approval, Yu'an walked ahead with light steps, complaining aloud.
"You are just too cautious. We've been in Clear Stream Market for half a month, and there hasn't been any sign of rogue cultivators here either, has there?"
"Just because there are none recently or today doesn't an there won't be any tomorrow. It's rely because the Clear Stream Grand Gathering is underway, so no rogue cultivator dares to stroke the tiger's whiskers of the Red Lantern Illumination Sect."
Yulou led his younger brother into a shop that sold spiritual robes.
Because both of them were wearing the clothes of Huafeng Residence workers, they looked rather impoverished. When the shop assistant saw them, he rely glanced up and said indifferently.
"You can look, but don't touch. If you aren't buying, don't ask questions. There are descriptions below."
This was the first ti since childhood that Wang Yu'an had been so thoroughly slighted. He wanted to retort, but forced himself to hold back.
It was all family training!
What should one do when provoked?
First, mark the provocateur clearly. As long as your interests are not hard, endure. Endure until the situation becos clear before deciding how to respond.
The Wang Clan strictly forbade their children from acting like fools!
"Brother, is this the kind of situation the clan taught us about, where we get looked down upon while traveling outside?" Yu'an whispered.
"He didn't look down on us. We genuinely cannot afford it.
This spiritual robe made from Silver-backed Spirit Silkworm silk costs two hundred and thirty spirit stones. Even if we sold ourselves, we couldn't afford it!"
Looking at the description of the robe, Yulou clicked his tongue slightly.
This Silver Spirit Gold Embroidery silk robe was rely at the level of a low-grade artifact, yet its price was no lower than an ordinary dium-grade artifact.
Showing off was truly a universal need for all cultivators who had not yet achieved immortality. Many were willing to spend extra spirit stones just for appearances.
"Let's change shops. It's too expensive. Looking at things we can't afford makes feel miserable."
Yulou felt a bit amused. Yu'an was still too young.
Thinking of this, he raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.
"Co, let's go broaden our horizons at Baili Pavilion."
Yu'an felt a surge of anticipation, but still holding reverence for the Patriarch's warnings, he replied hesitantly with a fluttering heart.
"Ah? Brother, the Patriarch said the female cultivators there have truly cultivated Charm Arts. Is it appropriate for you to take there?"
As long as Yulou said it was appropriate, he would go!
When the Patriarch asked later, Yulou would take the bla and the beating.
Yu'an had calculated everything perfectly.
He could easily give the six-layered restriction Purple Copper Bead to his brother.
Their brotherly bond was strong, so it was a small matter.
But when it ca to getting beaten, his more favored elder brother should naturally take priority, shouldn't he?
After all, he, Wang Yu'an, had already endured a ten-hit combo from Uncle Rongyuan.
Wang Yulou hadn't experienced it yet!
"Hahaha, good. At least you know so propriety."
Yulou laughed rrily, having successfully teased the boy.
Yu'an's face instantly collapsed.
Teasing again?
Excited for nothing!
I treat you like a brother, but you treat like a toy!
And here I thought you were actually going to take there!
