At the thought of this, Wang Baole could not help but feel tempted. He quickly opened the jade scroll for the Technique of Infinite Armament Transformation. After revising it, he took out the materials and attempted to refine a numinous treasure for the first time.
"Let's choose an easy one first!" Wang Baole's eyes shone with anticipation. He found a numinous treasure called the Water Parting Bead from the Dharmic Armament Pavilion's Dharmic Armament manual. This item was considered an easy one among the third-grade numinous treasures. Even so, the number of inscriptions required was as high as 100,000.
Looking at the requirements for inscriptions, Wang Baole was a little speechless. However, he still tried to refine it after adjusting his breathing.
Days passed. After five days, Wang Baole let out a long sigh. He had no choice but to give up on trying to refine a numinous treasure. The spirit kernel of a numinous treasure usually required at least a hundred spirit stones to condense.
As the number of inscriptions required was too high, and almost all of them were variations of high-level inscriptions, even Wang Baole found it difficult. A single mistake would cause the inscriptions to collapse and cause the spirit stones to shatter, resulting in a failure in the refinement. In the second stage of refinement, Wang Baole studied the formula and realized that the difficulty was also much higher than that of a Dharmic artifact.
More importantly, Wang Baole realized that although the inscriptions of the numinous treasure and the inscriptions of the Dharmic artifact looked the same, he felt that there were some differences. However, he could not figure out why.
"I was too complacent previously. The knowledge of the Dharmic Armament is unfathomable. I have to continue studying and researching!" Wang Baole took a deep breath. He knew that his biggest problem was not his technique, but his understanding of the Dharmic Armament of the Upper Academy Island. Therefore, in the following days, he frequently went to the various halls of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion to learn about the Technique of Infinite Armament Transformation. At the same time, he watched videos on the Spirit Intranet and asked Chen Yutong from time to time.
Like a sponge, he continuously absorbed more Dharmic Armament knowledge while also studying the formula of the third-grade numinous treasure.
Just like that, the days passed. Gradually, Wang Baole understood more about the difference between a Dharmic artifact and a numinous treasure.
"Whether it's the seniors in the school or Chen Yutong, they all told me … the key to crafting a spirit treasure is the change in temperature and inscriptions … but I need to figure it out and understand it myself."
The Dharmic Armament lineage had a high requirement on one's perception and talent. Many of the principles were only the basics when heard from others. One had to figure it out on their own before they could grasp it. After some experimentation, Wang Baole realized that although he understood the principles, there was always a barrier when it came to actual execution. It was like looking at the moon in the water.
This made him a little anxious, but he also understood that this matter could not be rushed. Unless there was some other opportunity, he could only follow the growth of his knowledge. When the conditions were right, success would follow naturally. Thus, he had no choice but to settle down and consider the plan to refine a third-grade spirit treasure as a mid-long term plan.
"However, I can't waste this period of time. I should be able to refine the scabbard formula that Little Missy gave me, right?" Wang Baole took a deep breath. He felt that the Dharmic Armament lineage would only get more difficult as he progressed. However, he wasn't discouraged. Instead, he was filled with vigor and excitement.
Thus, in the days that followed, he studied and researched the spirit treasure formula while refining the scabbard once again.
Because he had reached an extremely high level of proficiency with a perfect second-grade Dharmic artifact, when Wang Baole went to refine the scabbard again, the previous difficulties were no longer difficult for him. Regardless of whether it was the sword-shaped spirit stone or the incomparably complex inscriptions on it, or the final Spirit Kernel, although it wasn't done in one go, after several failures, finally …
Ten days later, Wang Baole had completely refined the scabbard's Spirit Kernel!
And in terms of quality, it was at the level of perfection!
Looking at the colorful scabbard shaped Spirit Kernel in front of him, which seemed to have light circulating inside and out, Wang Baole was a little excited. He had obtained the scabbard formula for some time, and today, he had finally completed the first stage.
"The difficulty of this scabbard is second only to a Spirit Treasure." As Wang Baole lamented, he settled down and began the material forging stage. He fused various materials into the Spirit Kernel so that it could be refined into an artifact in the end.
However, at this stage, Wang Baole knew that there was a difficult point that he had to resolve first. Otherwise, he might not be able to successfully complete the material forging stage.
"I need a hundred grains of Armament Sand!" Wang Baole muttered to himself. He had seen this material when he was researching the formula and had searched for it on the Spirit Intranet. However, regardless of whether it was the Spirit Intranet or the list of materials in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, there was no Armament Sand.
He had even asked Xie Haiyang, but the latter had never even heard of this material. At this point, Wang Baole already understood that this Armament Sand was probably one of the materials that had not been discovered by the Federation. If he wanted to obtain it, he could only find the Little Missy in the mask.
Thinking of this, Wang Baole took out the Hallucination Pillow and directly stepped into the Hallucination Realm to begin his inquiry.
This time, the Little Missy in the black mask did not make things difficult for Wang Baole, as if she had already known that Wang Baole would come to inquire. After Wang Baole finished speaking, she immediately gave him an answer.
However, after Wang Baole looked at it, his face became suspicious.
"Armament Sand formula? Could it be that this Armament Sand is not a material, but a Dharmic artifact? " Wang Baole carefully looked at it in astonishment. Slowly, his expression became surprised. This Armament Sand was indeed a material, but it needed to be refined. As for the materials required to refine Armament Sand, most of them were ordinary. The main material was even simpler — a Rainbow Spirit Stone.
"Why do I feel that this was specially prepared for me?" Wang Baole hesitated for a moment and looked suspiciously at the black mask. Then, he lowered his head and continued to study the Armament Sand formula.
According to the description, Armament Sand was an extremely special spirit material that possessed spirituality. Once it was successfully refined, it would contain some strange power.
Its function was to stimulate all the potential contained within a Dharmic artifact, achieving the effect of turning something rotten into something magical. However, there was a chance of failure, and it required precise control during the fusion process.
As for the method of refining Armament Sand, it was to first melt the required materials into a liquid, then immediately soak the Rainbow Spirit Stone in it. After it had absorbed and cooled down, the inscriptions in the formula were engraved on the Spirit Stone. This inscription was special, and Wang Baole had never seen it before.
According to the description on the mask, this inscription would cause the Spirit Stone to shrink until it finally turned into a grain of sand.
This was Armament Sand.
Although he was a little hesitant, Wang Baole thought about it and decided to give it a try. Therefore, after leaving the Dream Space, he immediately went to buy a large amount of materials for refining Armament Sand and began refining.
To Wang Baole, refining Armament Sand was not difficult at all if he did not consider the consumption of Armament Sand. Regardless of whether it was melting the Armament Sand into liquid or inscribing the Inscriptions, everything went smoothly. Soon, he had refined his first grain of Armament Sand.
Placing the grain of Armament Sand in the palm of his hand, Wang Baole raised his hand in front of his eyes and carefully examined it for a long time. The Armament Sand was incomparably black, and he could not see anything special about it. If he did not know, he would have thought it was ordinary sand.
"Is this thing really as magical as Miss Mask said?" Wang Baole muttered to himself. He put away the grain of Armament Sand and continued refining.
Gradually, when he finished refining all one hundred grains of Armament Sand, Wang Baole was shocked by the amount of energy required to refine the Armament Sand. After all, these were Rainbow Spirit Stones. If it were anyone else, the amount of energy required to refine a hundred grains would be unimaginable. Even he, who had been refining Spirit Stones and Armament Sand at the same time, was so tired that he did not have time to do anything else.
"These are one hundred Rainbow Spirit Stones. I hope they really have a magical effect." Seeing that he had finished refining the Armament Sand, Wang Baole's eyes flashed. He took out his scabbard's Spirit Kernel and began to fuse the materials according to the recipe.
As Wang Baole fused the precious materials one by one, a blue scabbard slowly formed in the furnace in front of Wang Baole.
The scabbard also emitted a pressure that far exceeded that of a Perfect Grade 1 Magic Weapon. After Wang Baole felt it, his eyes lit up.
"It's not even complete, but it already has such spiritual pressure!" With anticipation, Wang Baole focused all of his attention and poured in all of the materials except for the Armament Sand. His eyes flashed, and the moment the scabbard was about to take shape, he suddenly waved his right hand and fused all one hundred grains of Armament Sand into the scabbard.
The moment they touched the scabbard, the Armament Sand immediately melted and turned into black threads that attempted to fuse with the scabbard.
Wang Baole's mind trembled. His cultivation base exploded, and his Spirit Qi spread out. He immersed himself in controlling the black threads formed by the Armament Sand and fusing them into the scabbard bit by bit. The process was slow, and Wang Baole didn't dare to be distracted.
Time gradually passed, and soon, six hours had passed. Wang Baole's forehead was already sweating. Under his caution, the black threads formed by the Armament Sand had already completely fused into the scabbard. Under his observation, the black threads had even penetrated the materials covering the scabbard and touched the Spirit Kernel.
However, the moment they came into contact with the Spirit Kernel, the inscriptions that Wang Baole had inscribed on the Spirit Kernel began to shine brightly, as if they had been activated. They seemed to have come alive and were actually swimming around the Spirit Kernel on their own, fighting to be the first to come into contact with the hundred black lines!
Even as they fought, they began to devour and fuse with each other!
This scene caused Wang Baole's eyes to widen abruptly, and he cried out involuntarily.
"What's going on?!" Wang Baole's body trembled. He was shocked by what he saw in front of him, to the extent that there was a deviation in his control. Instantly, the one hundred black threads all shattered, and even the scabbard seemed to decay with a bang, directly melting.
Wang Baole stood up abruptly and rubbed his eyes. After repeatedly recalling and confirming that he hadn't seen wrongly, his breathing slowly quickened, and his eyes shone.
"It really works!" His spirits were lifted, and he immediately began to refine the Spirit Kernel and Armament Sand for the scabbard again. Ten days later, after not sleeping or resting, he finally finished refining the materials he had prepared. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately began to refine the scabbard again. Just like ten days ago, before the scabbard was about to take shape, he threw in the Armament Sand and controlled it with all his strength.
This time, he was mentally prepared. When he once again saw the inscriptions as if they were alive, fighting to be the first to fuse with the black threads, although he was still shocked, his mind was calm. Under careful observation, the inscriptions gradually fused and devoured each other, finally forming one hundred inscriptions that Wang Baole had never seen before.
They all leaped up and absorbed the one hundred black threads. In an instant, the scabbard shone with a dazzling light that pierced the eyes. The entire furnace shook. Wang Baole immediately retreated in shock, raising his right hand and grabbing at the air.
