The titanium's form began to ripple.
It didn't lt, but destabilized.
Its surface flickered, as if existing in two places at once. The solid boundaries that defined it weakened, and for the first ti, Lin Mu's flas were able to affect it.
The temperature rose.
Slowly, stubbornly, the Void Streak Titanium softened.
Lin Mu did not rush. He adjusted the balance between heat and spatial destabilization with painstaking care. Too much Spatial Qi and the titanium might phase out of reality entirely. Too much heat and it could fracture instead of lting.
After nearly half an hour of precise control, the titanium finally surrendered. It lted.
The molten Void Streak Titanium did not glow like the other tals. Instead, it looked like liquid shadow threaded with faint starlight, constantly shifting and flowing in unnatural ways.
Lin Mu guided it into the crucible array.
The mont the three tals ca into contact, the crucible vibrated.
Lin Mu's eyes narrowed as he reinforced the array instantly.
The alloying process began.
Thousand Tempered Steel provided the skeletal structure. Black Immortal Bronze flowed into its lattice, filling gaps and reinforcing natural energy channels in the tals' molecular structure. Void Streak Titanium acted as the binding force, smoothing inconsistencies and stabilizing the whole as well as reinforcing its natural durability by several level.
Lin Mu continuously stirred the molten alloy with controlled currents of immortal essence, ensuring perfect distribution.
Forty five percent Thousand Tempered Steel.
Forty five percent Black Immortal Bronze.
Ten percent Void Streak Titanium.
The balance was delicate, but precise.
After another hour, the alloy reached equilibrium.
Lin Mu ford hand seals, and the molten tal flowed out of the crucible array, shaping itself in midair. He did not use molds. Instead, he relied on his control of the tal Elent and perception, compressing and folding the alloy into the desired form.
An armlet erged.
It was wide, smooth, and solid, designed to rest comfortably on the upper arm. Its surface was a deep guntal black with subtle silver streaks running through it, catching the light when viewed from certain angles.
Lin Mu examined it briefly, then nodded.
"Good."
That was only the beginning.
He summoned his Rune Shaping Brush Dao Embryo.
The brush manifested as a translucent construct of condensed Dao Traces, its tip sharp and precise. Lin Mu held it with practiced ease and began engraving runes directly onto the armlet's surface.
The first layer was foundational.
Qi channeling formations.
He etched fine, nearly invisible lines that ford a closed circulation system within the armlet. These were not ant to draw immortal essence from Cattaleya. Instead, they gathered ambient essence from the surroundings and recycled residual energy from the other formations.
This fed directly into a Qi Reinforcing Formation, allowing the armlet to sustain itself indefinitely under normal conditions.
Next ca durability.
Lin Mu layered reinforcing formations atop one another, not stacking them crudely, but interweaving them into a composite array. Each formation supported the others, distributing stress across the entire structure instead of concentrating it in one place.
He added shock dispersion arrays to absorb sudden impacts, redirecting force along the armlet's length rather than letting it strike a single point.
Then ca size adjustnt.
Lin Mu paused briefly before this step, picturing Cattaleya in combat. Her muscles swelling, her immortal essence surging, her body growing denser and larger with every exchange.
Without this array, the armlet could beco a liability.
He etched an adaptive size formation that responded to changes in muscle density and essence pressure, allowing the armlet to expand and contract seamlessly without compromising stability.
Only after all of this did he move on to the main function.
The Illusory Array.
Lin Mu's brush moved faster now, confidence evident in every stroke. He created a layered illusion system capable of projecting realistic clothing images
over the wearer's body.
This was not a simple visual trick.
The illusion responded to movent, force, and even damage, maintaining
realism even during intense combat. Of course, if one wanted the damage
illusions could be turned off too.
To support this, Lin Mu added a mory Formation, allowing the armlet to
store multiple designs.
Then ca the modification array.
This was the most complex part.
It allowed the wearer to alter designs, create new ones, and adjust details without Lin Mu's involvent. Colors, patterns, styles, all could be modified
through intent alone.
Three days passed in this manner.
Lin Mu barely slept, sustained by ditation and controlled circulation of
immortal qi and essence. By the end of the third day, the armlet hovered before
him, complete.
He etched the final rune.
HUMMM
The mont the brush lifted, every rune on the armlet ignited with soft light.
A wave of energy pulsed outward, filling the room.
Lin Mu instinctively checked the armlet's grade.
"...High Grade Immortal tool?"
He blinked once.
He had expected mid grade at best.
The materials were excellent, and the formations complex, but he had not
anticipated it reaching high grade so naturally.
He probed deeper.
No tool spirit yet.
"That makes sense," Lin Mu murmured. "It will need ti."
Satisfied, he dispelled the isolation arrays and stood.
The door opened.
Bright sunlight poured in, along with familiar presences.
Cattaleya stood at the front, arms crossed, eyes sharp and expectant. Daoist Chu leaned nearby with an intrigued expression. ng Bai stared openly, unable to hide his curiosity. Even Elyon was present, watching quietly from the
side.
Cattaleya's gaze locked onto the armlet floating beside Lin Mu.
Her lips curled into a grin.
"So," she said, stepping forward. "Is that mine?"
Her eyes did not leave the Armlet for even a mont as Lin Mu guided it to her.
"Try it on." Lin Mu said and Catt almost lunged at it.
The armlet slid onto her left forearm with ease and automatically adjusted to it.
It shone with a faint light as Cattaleya branded it with her immortal sense. She could sense its functions and with ease created a new set of clothing.
Shua
She was now wearing a rather brutal looking leather armor, covered in bones
and fangs.
"I like it! Very easy to use." She smiled. "What did you na it?" She asked. "The Battle Raint Armlet." Lin Mu stated.
