Compared to crafting Low Grade Spirit Artifacts, the difficulty in crafting Mid-grade Spirit Artifacts hasn’t heightened significantly, the primary difference is actually in the artifact refining materials.
The materials for crafting Mid-grade Spirit Artifacts are far more precious than those for Low Grade Spirit Artifacts; the difficulty itself hasn’t increased much. The grade elevation mainly relies on the power of the materials themselves.
The most proficient Artifact Refiner can use materials ant for Low Grade Spirit Artifacts to craft Mid-grade Spirit Artifacts. Ye Zhen, however, is far from reaching that standard. It’s already quite good if he can craft Mid-grade Spirit Artifacts using Mid-grade materials.
There’s even a possibility of crafting Low Grade Spirit Artifacts due to errors in technique using materials ant for Mid-grade Spirit Artifacts, which is also a thod many Artifact Refiners employ to enhance their success rate.
Ye Zhen’s first attempt at crafting a Mid-grade Spirit Artifact ended in direct failure!
The array inscribed collapsed, turning a heap of precious materials into a pile of black ash. However, Ye Zhen wasn’t discouraged at all; compared to thousands of failures other Artifact Refiners faced, Ye Zhen’s failure count is remarkably rare.
Moreover, the failure in crafting the Moon Concealing Silver Light Wheel was mainly due to unfamiliarity with the properties of the rare materials needed for Mid-grade Spirit Artifacts rather than any technique issue.
Quickly, Ye Zhen comnced his second attempt. This ti, Ye Zhen successfully crafted the Moon Concealing Silver Light Wheel, but it was rely a substandard piece because its grade could only be considered a Low Grade Spirit Artifact.
The repelling properties between two different materials weren’t handled well, resulting in a downgrade in the artifact grade.
After summarizing, Ye Zhen began his third crafting attempt on the Moon Concealing Silver Light Wheel, with the hissing Earth Vein Heavenly Fire scorching below, Ye Zhen’s Divine Sense darted like a shuttle, inscribing nurous Spirit Light glowing patterns inside the materials.
Several hours later, akin to a perfect art piece, a half-bladed wheel glistening with silver light and star-like embellishnts hovered in front of Ye Zhen’s chest, emitting waves of chill.
With a gentle open of his hands, the previously spoiled Low Grade Moon Concealing Silver Light Wheel flew up alongside this near-perfect counterpart, in the instant the silver light exploded, they slashed at each other in lightning speed!
The dazzling silver light rose like a new moon.
The previously failed Low Grade Moon Concealing Silver Light Wheel was directly split in half by this near-perfect wheel, becoming utterly useless!
"Not bad, this power nearly reaches the peak of what a Mid-grade Spirit Artifact can unleash, furthermore, only three sets of materials were consud in the process!"
Ye Zhen had previously extracted four sets of materials for crafting the Moon Concealing Silver Light Wheel from the Treasure Vault, initially estimating success upon consuming the fourth set, unexpectedly succeeded using the third set.
Moreover, if Ye Zhen continued to craft the Moon Concealing Silver Light Wheel using the fourth set, he estimated a success rate likely above eighty percent.
Yet, this was Ye Zhen’s relatively conservative thought.
Nonetheless, crafting this one Moon Concealing Silver Light Wheel already consud four days, the remaining ti was rather tight as Ye Zhen planned to head to the Outer Domain Dead Sea for the bid of the Innate Bloodline Enhancent Pill once the Divine Sacrifice ended, a top priority event that couldn’t be delayed.
Before leaving Qinglan Martial City for the Outer Domain Dead Sea, protective treasures need to be polished adequately.
Even after trying his hand with the Moon Concealing Silver Light Wheel, when crafting the Black Silkworm Spirit Silk Armor, Ye Zhen still ended up wasting one set of materials, barely succeeded with the second set, reaching just Mid-grade Spirit Artifact, albeit with many flaws.
Yet despite that, succeeding with one of the two sets, Ye Zhen’s success rate was incredibly impressive.
According to Ye Zhen’s knowledge, most current Artifact Refiners have less than thirty percent success rate when crafting Spirit Artifacts, typically preparing four sets to succeed in crafting one artifact.
And Ye Zhen’s artifact refining success rate continued to grow.
Upon returning to the Sun and Moon Divine Sect Main Temple and spending seven days refining, Ye Zhen finally crafted a piece of Black Silkworm Spirit Silk Armor that satisfied him.
On the eighth day, Ye Zhen saw success again in his fourth crafting attempt of Black Silkworm Spirit Silk Armor, this ti achieving a near-perfect quality.
Four sets of materials resulted in success three tis, over seventy-percent success rate. If spread, it would surely stun the world. However, Ye Zhen didn’t continue crafting Black Silkworm Spirit Silk Armor but took advantage of his familiarity with Black Silkworm Spirit Silk to imdiately start fixing the damaged Spirit Artifact Shadow Moon Cloak of Shadow Moon Guard Commander Wu Ying.
With prior experience crafting the Black Silkworm Spirit Silk Armor, repairing the Shadow Moon Cloak went smoothly.
After all, the Shadow Moon Cloak only had its core piece and several key arrays destroyed; with the crafting blueprint on hand, successful repair was simply going through the motions.
However, Ye Zhen’s upcoming re-forging of the Divine Great Montum Hamr was much more troubleso!
The previous Divine Great Montum Hamr utilized a rare material nad Dust Mound Stone, typically the primary material in crafting Mid-grade Spirit Artifacts and supplentary material for High Grade Spirit Artifacts.
The Dust Mound Stone has a characteristic of imnse weight!
Just a baby fist-sized piece of Dust Mound Stone weighs a hundred thousand pounds, moreover, under the influence of Spiritual Power, its weight can multiply.
The current Low Grade Spirit Artifact Divine Great Montum Hamr in Ye Zhen’s hand has only three kinds of array inscribed, extrely simple, Ye Zhen estimated that rely increasing the array types to five inside could elevate its grade to Mid-grade Spirit Artifact.
However, Ye Zhen does not intend to do so.
If done, the power increase would be quite limited.
Ye Zhen plans to re-forge using the Mystic Sky Refining Technique which includes a Mid-grade Spirit Artifact nad God-Breaking Magnetic Light Hamr, with Dust Mound Stone as the primary material needed, and the five supplentary materials all gathered within the Sun and Moon Divine Sect.
The most important and rare auxiliary power—geomagnetic spiritual power, is also sothing Ye Zhen possesses here.
This Destruction God Magnetic Hamr is imnsely powerful, not only due to the incredible weight of the Dust Boulders, but also because of its ability to embody the characteristics of a geomagnetic field.
The original Great Power God Hamr was heavy, and although its impact speed was decent, it was extrely inflexible, allowing no change after launching an attack.
However, with the geomagnetic field, it can be manipulated flexibly. With just a thought from Ye Zhen, the speed of the Destruction God Magnetic Hamr can increase more than tenfold instantly, or it can slow down imdiately.
The sudden boost in speed also directly enhances its lethality!
Moreover, Ye Zhen estimates that with his divine sense power, he can at least overlay more than ten great montum formations on himself. Previously, the Great Power God Hamr only housed three great montum formations.
This alone could triple its power, not to ntion the additional auxiliary materials and the most crucial geomagnetic formation.
The only concern for Ye Zhen now is whether he can succeed in one attempt!
The Sun and Moon Divine Sect holds many artifact refining materials, but not such a treasure as the Dust Boulders. According to Chief Wang, the earliest record of Dust Boulders in the sect’s Treasure Vault dates back one hundred and eighty years.
This shows the preciousness of Dust Boulders!
If refined properly, with appropriately chosen materials, using Dust Boulders to craft a high-grade spirit artifact is entirely possible.
But, if Ye Zhen successfully reforges the Great Power God Hamr this ti, even if it does not beco a high-grade spirit artifact, its power can get infinitely close to that level.
Since there’s only one set of materials, before refining, Ye Zhen specifically spent most of the day simulating the refining and inscribing process in his mind several tis, addressing potential problems by consulting the solutions left by the Earth Core Fire Commander in the Mystic Sky Refining Technique.
After several simulations, he felt assured and then began the formal crafting of the Destruction God Magnetic Hamr.
It must be said, the advantages of standing on the shoulders of predecessors in artifact refining are indescribable.
When Ye Zhen simulated the refining process in his ntal space, he predicted eleven possible issues, but only encountered four during the actual refining.
Each issue was successfully resolved thanks to the pre-found solutions in the notes left by the Earth Core Fire Commander in the Mystic Sky Refining Technique.
In artifact refining, the key is continuity. If you encounter problems and then seek solutions, it’s often too late; the only result is wasted materials and failed refinent.
Fortunately, Ye Zhen was prepared and succeeded.
But if it were an average artifact refiner, or if the Mystic Sky Refining Technique did not contain the Earth Core Fire Commander’s refining notes, those four issues might require the refiner to explore and experint many tis to solve.
Perhaps several tis, maybe dozens, or even hundreds of attempts might be necessary.
Finding failure acceptable in hundreds of refining attempts is one thing, but the precious materials destroyed during failed spiritual artifact refinents are a significant burden to any artifact refiner!
Buzz!
With a thought, Ye Zhen activated the Destruction God Magnetic Hamr before him, causing a flash of silver light, and it vanished without a trace in an instant.
In a swift mont, the Destruction God Magnetic Hamr reappeared before Ye Zhen.
In the blink of an eye, the Destruction God Magnetic Hamr had flown out of the Silent Chamber window, circled above Ye Zhen’s new courtyard, and returned to hover before him.
In terms of pure speed, compared to the previous Great Power God Hamr, it has increased by at least three or four tis. If Ye Zhen pushes it to its limits, the speed can still multiply further.
Additionally, because the inscribed great montum formations are more than three tis those previously used, its striking weight is also tripled. With enhanced speed and weight, the increase in power is simply exponential.
Moreover, the newly crafted Destruction God Magnetic Hamr is not just a replica of the Great Power God Hamr; it possesses nurous additional ingenious functions.
However, its destructive power is so terrifying that Ye Zhen dares not attempt it here, fearing it might cause an uproar throughout the Sun and Moon Divine Sect with a single blow.
Relieved that the reforged Great Montum Hamr succeeded, Ye Zhen notes that there are still over two days until the divine ritual, and he has materials for crafting two more sets of Black Silkworm Spirit Silk Armor which he previously acquired.
Ye Zhen prepares to craft two more sets of Black Silkworm Spirit Silk Armor. Once completed, whether gifted or auctioned, these mid-grade defensive spiritual artifacts are exceedingly astonishing.
Once displayed, they will undoubtedly be the highlight treasures!
It’s noteworthy that amongst the nurous Establishnt Kings Ye Zhen previously dispatched, those with low-grade spiritual artifacts, mid-grade spiritual artifacts, and even soul artifacts were common, but all were offensive artifacts.
Yet, Ye Zhen never found a mid-grade defensive spiritual artifact among them.
Just when Ye Zhen is about to begin crafting again, a golden talisman communication descends from the sky. At the sight of the golden talisman light, Ye Zhen is taken aback, "The Sect Leader’s Decree?"
As his divine sense sinks into the golden talisman communication, Ye Zhen is left in a daze. (To be continued. If you like this work, welco to vote for recomndations and monthly tickets on Qidian (qidian). Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian to read.)
