Chapter 746: The Hundred Refinement Canon
Chapter 746: The Hundred Refinement Canon
At the spot where the U Geng tree's roots were dug out, a white ball of light silently appeared.
The sphere shimmered faintly, exuding an enigmatic allure.
Lu Chen reached out and gently touched the surface of the sphere. It shattered silently, transforming into countless tiny specks of light that filled the air.
As the lights flickered, they formed a holographic image of a tome, which instantly vanished into Lu Chen's body.
A thought emerged in his mind.
Harvesting a 4th-grade U Geng tree yields a treasure, 'The Hundred Refinement Canon'.
As the thought faded, a torrent of information flooded Lu Chen's mind, wildly assaulting his mental fortitude.
Within his sea of consciousness, the Divine Paste emitted a soft glow, aiding Lu Chen in absorbing the overwhelming influx of knowledge.
'The Hundred Refinement Canon' originates from the Great Hundred Refinement Sect, a major sect specializing in artifact forging. It contains various common forging techniques and detailed instructions for crafting dozens of artifacts, with the highest grade being a 5th-rank artifact.
Lu Chen stood still, carefully assimilating the essence of 'The Hundred Refinement Canon'.
It encompassed a wealth of techniques, tricks, and insights into artifact crafting, including the smelting, refining, and treatment of spirit ores and woods, the creation of artifact molds, and rune engraving.
After internalizing and absorbing this knowledge, Lu Chen attained a foundational level of proficiency in artifact forging.
"Experience packages are indeed superior," he couldn't help but marvel. "They deliver information directly to my sea of consciousness and repeated absorption can enhance my pill refining and artifact forging skills."
He was naturally gifted in neither pill refining nor artifact forging, and he knew that achieving mastery in these arts would ordinarily require an immense investment of time and energy.
But now, with these light spheres, everything had changed.
Extracting an experience package from a light sphere instantly imbued him with a wealth of knowledge in artifact forging, dramatically elevating his skill level.
"I can now cautiously attempt to forge second and third-grade artifacts," he mused.
While 'The Hundred Refinement Canon' did include instructions for crafting several fifth-grade artifacts, the requirements for raw materials were exceedingly high, and the forging process was extremely intricate. Attempting to forge them without sufficient preparation would likely result in a very low success rate.
"I recall obtaining a sixth-grade treasure, the Jade Coiling Flood Dragon Claw, from the light sphere of the Dragon Corpse Grass," he thought, his eyes lighting up as a crystalline dragon claw appeared before him.
The claw, a remnant of a sixth-grade variant, the Jade Coiling Flood Dragon, was exceptionally hard and possessed formidable tearing capabilities, making it a superior material.
In the following days, Lu Chen devoted his time to studying and experimenting with 'The Hundred Refinement Canon', in addition to his routine nurturing of spirit plants.
He had some low-grade spirit ores and woods in his storage bag, which he used for experiments, gradually translating the knowledge in his mind into practical experience.
His initial attempts at forging were clumsy, but he soon gained proficiency, achieving an acceptable success rate with low-grade artifacts.
"To advance further in artifact forging, I'll need to cultivate more fourth-grade U Geng trees or even higher-grade spirit plants that are closely related to the art," he realized.
"It seems that whether it's pill refining or artifact forging, it all comes back to the light spheres produced by spirit plants," he mused, holding a partially formed third-grade artifact and smiling faintly.
Fortunately, the fourth-grade U Geng tree was relatively common in the cultivation world. He could easily obtain its seedlings by visiting the branch office of the Commerce Guild.
Having concluded his artifact forging session, Lu Chen exited the courtyard and began inspecting his spirit fields, checking on each spirit plant.
The remaining third-grade Thunder Sword Grasses were in the process of condensing their sword grass spirit seeds.
However, due to Lu Chen's mastery of the ordinary second-grade sword grass seed condensing technique and the influence of the Mysterious Sword Monument, these Thunder Sword Grasses had undergone a variation, becoming third-grade variant spirit plants.
However, Lu Chen remained patient and unperturbed.
Improving the grade of an ordinary second-grade sword grass was always going to be a challenging endeavor, and he had long prepared himself mentally for the obstacles ahead.
Nearby, the third-grade Sword-Nurturing Gourd that he had planted was thriving, with delicate light green flower buds appearing. The buds were long and slender like swords, trembling slightly under the influence of the Mysterious Sword Monument's sword intent.
In the other spirit fields, the newly planted third-grade Ice Firefly Grasses entered a rapid growth phase. Their slender leaves glowed with a cerulean light, adorned with countless sparkling specks that resembled stars in the night sky.
Tendrils of cold air seeped out from the spirit grasses, causing a thin layer of frost to form on the spiritual soil.
Lu Chen continuously cast the Spirit Rain Technique, infusing each Ice Firefly Grass with the perfect amount of spiritual rain based on their individual needs, nurturing them with meticulous care.
Among the remaining spirit plants, the fifth-grade Five Thunder Conjoined Flowers and Pure Vase Willows had entered the maturation stage. On the branches of the Clear and Pure Crystal Tea, hints of green emerged, exuding a refreshing and natural aura.
In the sixth-grade spirit fields, the Sitting Buddha Lotus and Nine Scholars Treasure Tree grew healthily, while the Purple Mist Vine Thunder Fruit, brought from the Heaven Sword Sect, had already entered the maturation stage under the nourishment of the dark green thunder liquid.
Lu Chen then made his way to the Yin Spirit Fields.
He remained calm and collected, walking through the air thick with malevolent spirits and vengeful souls.
Not far ahead, a greenish-black infant shadow flashed by and disappeared into a bizarre spirit fruit that vaguely resembled an infant in shape.
With his spiritual sense, Lu Chen perceived a blurry black shadow within the spirit fruit, exuding a dense yin energy. Occasionally, an infant's face filled with venomous hatred would surface.
"Hmm? The Saint Infant Fruit is fully mature."
Lu Chen focused his attention on the Saint Infant Fruit and noticed that the semi-transparent progress bar underneath it was completely filled.
He carefully plucked the fifth-grade spirit fruit and examined it with his spiritual sense.
"Good quality. Not bad at all. It was worth the effort to selectively filter out the infant souls and vengeful spirits required for its growth from the countless others."
Lu Chen stored the Saint Infant Fruit in an exquisite jade box and placed it inside the Gluttonous Beast Pouch.
As his gaze returned to the Saint Infant Fruit plant, a white light sphere silently appeared where the fruit had been plucked.
He gently touched the sphere, and it shattered silently, transforming into countless tiny specks of light that rushed into his body.
Harvest one Saint Infant Fruit and obtain the fifth-grade pill, Saint Infant Pill.
A thought flashed through his mind, and a pitch-black, round pill appeared in Lu Chen's hand.
Greyish-black spirit patterns danced across the pill's surface, and within their intricate movements, one could vaguely discern the visage of an infant filled with venomous hatred. The pill exuded a dense and pure yin energy.
Saint Infant Pill, a fifth-grade pill, is refined primarily from the Saint Infant Fruit. It contains a pure yin energy, and its consumption can slightly increase the success rate of Core Formation.
