Shen Mo ticulously examined the Purple Bamboo Sword with his spiritual sense and Mana.
He continued, "However, the material of this sword is exceptional, capable of holding a large amount of Mana."
"It could be refined into a one-ti use magic treasure. Once it erupts, its power is enough to slay ordinary cultivators at the peak of the Qi Gathering Realm!"
Listening to Shen Mo speak so eloquently, a trace of confusion appeared on Chen ngze’s face.
"Didn’t you choose the Alchemy Path? How co you also know the Forging Path?"
"I just know a thing or two!"
Shen Mo replied modestly.
As he spoke, he glanced at the progress bars of the three secondary professions on the panel.
[Destinied Lord: Shen Mo]
[Cultivation: Qi Gathering Realm Layer V]
[Talisman Path: Grade II (2,520/3,000)]
[Alchemy Path: Grade III (3,665/6,000)]
[Forging: Grade II (1,830/3,000)]
Compared to the Alchemy Path, the progress of the Talisman Path and Forging Path is admittedly slow. But this is unavoidable. On one hand, they are constrained by external conditions. For instance, in the case of talismans, the developnt of the Talisman Path in the Riverside Sect is obviously not as good as the Alchemy Path. There is still one Grade IV Alchemist, Alien Minister Wu Gong, but as for a Grade IV Talisman Maker, one couldn’t be found throughout the entire sect. The one with the highest attainnt in the Talisman Path is only Grade III. There is no place like the Alchemy Tower to acquire nurous talisman manuals. The Forging Path faces similar issues. What makes it even harder is that progress in this path requires constantly forging and repairing various magic artifacts. My proficiency in forging to this extent is not only from forging magic artifacts for myself, but the study and repair of spoils of war has also contributed significantly.
Now that Chen ngze had a need, he naturally would not miss this opportunity.
A good chance to boost the experience bar!
On the other hand, my own energy is limited. It’s different from when I first mastered the three arts; back then, improving my proficiency in each path was relatively simple. But as I continuously acquire elixir recipes, techniques, and manuals from the Alchemy Tower, my Alchemy Path improves, and leveraging this to earn Spirit Stones becos increasingly simple. This, in turn, further delays the developnt of the Talisman Path and Forging Path. It’s sowhat like the saying among cultivators: ’the strong get stronger’! However, I don’t think it’s a big issue. These two secondary professions are currently entirely sufficient for my needs. Moreover, I practice the Hundred Arts of Cultivation to earn cultivation resources to support my own cultivation. If I were to set aside the Alchemy Path and my own cultivation to pursue the simultaneous advancent of these two secondary professions, wouldn’t that be putting the cart before the horse? Just let them improve naturally!
...
Chen ngze looked at Shen Mo deeply, feeling that the mystery surrounding him was growing thicker and thicker.
Since his promotion to the Inner Door, he seems to have undergone a complete transformation.
However, since Shen Mo trusts her so much, she certainly wouldn’t go around gossiping!
After thinking about it, she agreed to the modification proposal Shen Mo suggested.
These two magic artifacts, the hamr and the sword, are relics of her enemies and might even be stained with the blood of Chen Family mbers. She wouldn’t feel comfortable using them directly!
In addition, Chen ngze chose a profound level, middle-grade shield-shaped magic artifact for her father, Chen An.
However, its original owner was a Liu Family disciple at the middle-stage of the Qi Gathering Realm. During a fight with the Demon Soul General, this shield-shaped magic artifact had been battered until it was covered in cracks, quite severely damaged.
After examining it, Shen Mo felt this shield-shaped magic artifact was quite worth repairing!
The main reason is that this shield is engraved with two special effects. One is "Spirit Suppression," which has a certain weakening effect on all types of magic, sword Qi, and blade energy. Thus, breaking this shield would be quite difficult, unless it’s struck hard by a magic artifact or with brute force! Of course, if an opponent’s attack exceeded the shield’s endurance limit, it still wouldn’t hold. Otherwise, this shield wouldn’t have been reduced to this sorry state by my Demon Soul General! The other effect is "handle complicated matters with ease." Even if refined with a large amount of spirit gold, making it seem incredibly cumberso, as long as it’s infused with Mana to activate the runes within, it can be lifted easily, not hindering combat in the slightest. For , the strength of my physical body far surpasses this shield-shaped magic artifact. That’s why it didn’t catch my Dharma Eye! But for Uncle Chen, it is undoubtedly a very good life-saving magic artifact. If I were to upgrade this shield’s grade, Uncle Chen would later have a better chance of protecting himself, even against opponents at the late-stage of the Qi Gathering Realm.
After pondering for a mont, Shen Mo decided to tackle the easy tasks before the difficult ones. First, he would repair this shield-shaped magic artifact and upgrade its grade. After this, he would reforge Liu Dingjiang’s Golden lon Hamr. Finally, he would try to refine the Purple Bamboo Sword into a disposable magic treasure.
BOOM!
RUMBLE!
Five black coffins flew out from Shen Mo’s Universe Bag. They slamd onto the ground, making it tremble slightly.
These were the relics of the Ghost Corpse School disciples killed by the Ghost Bride in the Abandoned Ghost Zone. After acquiring them, Shen Mo had originally planned to forge a giant coffin to use as a hiding place for refuge.
However, as his cultivation increased, the enemies he faced grew increasingly fierce!
The quality of these black coffins is no longer sufficient to provide shelter, so they have remained unused!
Chen ngze, seeing these black coffins she had personally retrieved, couldn’t help but feel curious.
"Are you planning to use the material from these black coffins to repair the shield? Isn’t that a bit too much?"
"Universal Blade Net!"
Shen Mo wielded the Demon Slaying Sword, slashing towards a black coffin. Amidst a clang of tal on tal, the black coffin shattered into a pile of fist-sized iron chunks. He repeated the process, using the Universal Sword Style, to strike four more tis!
Instantly, five small mountains of iron chunks appeared in the cave mansion.
Only then did Shen Mo say with a smile, "This isn’t much! Once refined with Earthly Fire, it will mostly be gone."
Shen Mo prepared to slt these black coffin iron chunks using the refining thod for the Nine-Extre Crystal Sand Energy.
However, there’s no need to slt it nine tis! With the quality of these black coffins’ material, I’m afraid that by the ti it’s refined to the ’five-extre’ level, ninety-nine percent of the material will have been slted away as dross.
After a brief mont of thought, Shen Mo took out the Purple Gold Halberd. Under Chen ngze’s slightly regretful gaze, he cut it into two pieces.
One section will be used with the black coffin iron chunks to repair and upgrade the shield-shaped magic artifact. The other section, I plan to slt it nine tis and integrate it into the Nine-Extre Crystal Sand Energy, which was severely damaged by a blow from White Ape Master’s cudgel.
WHOOSH!
A pale, fierce fla flew out from his body. Under his control, it began to slt the black coffin iron chunks.
As the black, lustrous spiritual material lted into molten iron, Shen Mo continuously ford Forging seals with his hands. Amidst sizzling sounds, a large amount of foamy slag was separated. After skimming off the slag, Shen Mo repeated the above steps. This continued until the material from the five black coffins had been refined four tis, reaching the ’four-extre’ level.
At this point, the material from the black coffins, which initially could have ford a pool of molten iron, was reduced to only the size of a human head. It was now a profound black, emitting a faint, dark glow, looking quite extraordinary!
Shen Mo followed the sa procedure, refining the Purple Gold Halberd four tis as well, forming a mass of purple-gold Spiritual Liquid slightly larger than a fist.
Subsequently, while maintaining the shield-shaped magic artifact’s form and keeping its engraved runes intact, he ticulously fused the black, lustrous molten iron and the purple-gold Spiritual Liquid into the shield, bit by bit. This gradually replaced the original spiritual materials that constituted the shield.
The entire forging process lasted for the whole night.
