"Energy unsealing... this is quite interesting... I haven’t dealt with it much, so I can’t give effective advice. However, I feel that, Star Lord, you’re right. Judging from the current status of the Purple Cloud Divine Sword, it doesn’t simply need dark spiritual power, but higher-level, more refined energy..."
Ore stroked the beard on his chin and said:
"Based on my suggestion, you might need to use materials of the Star Origin level to help it with the next stage of recovery, to continue unsealing deeper levels of its seal..."
"Star Origin!? No way..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ziwei showed a face of disbelief, exclaiming:
"Star Origin, that’s a level four dark spirit material, I’ve heard that the Dark Spirit Star Domain Alliance has only reserved two pieces of it. The energy of that thing is so strong it can instantly destroy an entire Vortex Star System. Are you sure this sword needs it to help enhance its power?"
It’s no wonder Ziwei was so taken aback; the thing Ore ntioned was too terrifying, beyond her imagination.
"No, I’m not sure."
Ore was candid, directly admitting that his previous speculation was rely a guess.
"But based on my experience, considering the current state the sword is presenting, without the energy level of Star Origin, it probably won’t make further breakthroughs..."
Zhang Xiaoman secretly nodded.
"Forget it, this matter isn’t urgent. If I get the chance, I’ll keep an eye out for this Star Origin."
Ziwei reached out and patted his shoulder, speaking in a heartfelt tone:
"Hmm, Ji Xing, you’re right, there’s no need to rush. After all, if you want to obtain that kind of material, the difficulty might be as challenging as when you participated in the rebellion of the Star Spirit Council and successfully beca the Great Elder. If that’s the case, then you might have the chance to gain the remaining piece of Star Origin."
Zhang Xiaoman’s face darkened upon hearing this; this woman really gave him a sneak diss.
What’s more, her grip was truly unabashed, no wonder wherever she went, she was always compensating.
Beside them, Ore, having listened to their conversation, also beca quite curious.
After an inquiry, he found out that the Dark Spirit Star Domain Alliance had just disbanded, which made him feel quite emotional.
"Indeed, the world is becoming increasingly chaotic..."
Ore felt secretly relieved in his heart, thankful he found a reliable ally.
In his eyes, Zhang Xiaoman was truly at the Transcendent Level.
Zhang Xiaoman wasn’t aware of his psychological changes. After consulting about the Purple Cloud Divine Sword, he imdiately moved the conversation to the next topic.
Four years ago, he and Ziwei found a lot of Divine Casting Rock in the abyss of Erin Continent.
This Divine Casting Rock is extrely precious. At first, he intended to use these Divine Casting Rocks to forge himself a more powerful Flying Sword.
But later, after he unsealed the Purple Cloud Divine Sword, he temporarily didn’t need anything in that regard.
Now, since he was back on Water Blue Star, and with Ore, a professional casting master by his side, naturally, he would take advantage of this opportunity.
Even if he wasn’t going to use them for weapons, crafting a set of armor would be nice.
Though Daring Clothes are good, their price is high. The Star Dust required for high-order Daring Clothes makes Zhang Xiaoman reluctant to buy them for the ti being.
Moreover, the advantage of Daring Clothes lies in their attribute enhancent, but in terms of real sturdiness, their defensive power is sowhat inferior to conventional dark spirit equipnt.
With the materials provided by Zhang Xiaoman, Ore felt invigorated.
Though he had been dealing with various forging tasks within the Star Alliance recently, due to the material quality that the Star Alliance could provide, most of his creations were standardized equipnt for common use.
Quite frankly, these are ordinary dark spirit equipnt with low caps, lacking challenges. He had long been eager to change it up.
Now, with this set of Divine Casting Rock as a base, Ore felt he could finally let loose and strive once again.
Seeing this scene, Ziwei was also full of anticipation, taking out a pile of Divine Casting Rock and advanced materials from her storage ring.
These were all purchased with her remaining assets during her ti on Skull Star.
Ore certainly didn’t refuse, after inquiring about what type of weapon equipnt Ziwei wanted, he wholeheartedly took all the materials.
"Ore, it’s going to be a bit tough on you for the next period, my materials mainly focus on defensive equipnt, and if possible, help repair this Mountain and Sea Sword as well."
Zhang Xiaoman retrieved the broken Mountain and Sea Sword from his Storage Space and handed it to him.
In the anti, he also inquired about the Ard Ring, hoping Ore could forge the equipnt in that form.
After all, Ard Rings are convenient to carry, and it’s especially easy to put them on when equipnt is needed.
But his proposition was rejected by Ore.
Ore shook his head repeatedly, asserting that Ard Ring’s integrated equipnt was essentially conveyor-belt produced inferior goods.
A top-tier craftsman like him shouldn’t be wasting ti crafting such things.
Later, Zhang Xiaoman learned that, compared to other equipnt, the Ard Ring, though having certain advantages, had even more significant flaws.
When Ore forged equipnt, he needed to personally understand the spiritual power fluctuation frequencies of Zhang Xiaoman and Ziwei, tailoring them accordingly.
While the Ard Ring was purely mass-market equipnt, almost useless to match the spiritual power of the user, anyone could use it.
Mainly, Ard Rings have extrely low material utilization rates.
Moreover, they can’t leave slots vacant, aning their equipnt can’t embed Dark Spirit Circuits.
After understanding these downsides, Zhang Xiaoman decisively gave up on the idea of using Ard Rings.
With good materials, naturally, one needs to forge them into perfect equipnt; compromising is certainly not an option.
As for the Dark Spirit Circuits on the equipnt slots, he could make a few himself.
Ziwei purchased a Flashback Circuit at the auction house last ti; Zhang Xiaoman borrowed it to study for a while, and now he roughly understood its construction thod.
Considering his control ability over dark spiritual power, making it shouldn’t be particularly hard; after practicing and trying for a while, it should be attainable.
Under normal circumstances, all Dark Spirit Circuits couldn’t be deciphered or reverse-engineered in their construction.
The creation of Dark Spirit Circuits could only be learned through a positive thod, not through reverse inference; this is basic common knowledge all Spell Painters know.
Otherwise, the Dark Spirit Circuits dropped by the Beller drones wouldn’t be sold at such high prices at various stalls.
However, Zhang Xiaoman is different; he possesses the Eye of Truth tool, which allows him to directly understand the correct way to draw Dark Spirit Circuits through its observation.
Although this process might entail obstructions and thorough filtering, breaking down a Dark Spirit Circuit takes a long period, but this undoubtedly provides him with a new path that other Spell Painters can’t achieve.
During his years in the Second Universe, Zhang Xiaoman used the Eye of Truth to explore information about dark spiritual power circuits, spending one hundred and thirty-two usage opportunities, finally cracking the complete Flashback Circuit.
Now, as a Spell Painter, Zhang Xiaoman possesses the capability to independently draw Flashback Circuits.
If other Spell Painters knew this news, they’d probably be driven mad with jealousy on the spot.
