Wang Baole's mind buzzed, and he held his breath. Looking at the scabbard in front of him, a strong light slowly appeared in his eyes.
"This pressure … is this really a first grade magical item?" Wang Baole took a deep breath. After careful observation, he confirmed that this scabbard was indeed first grade, and he could not help but feel shocked.
"If a first grade sword has such pressure, when it reaches second grade … or third grade, how strong would this scabbard be!" Wang Baole's mind was shaken as he thought of this, and it took him a while to suppress his shock. His eyes shone with a strange light. He suddenly felt that what Little Missy had said about this item being able to subdue the ancient green-bronze sword was still not very reliable, but the possibility seemed to have increased.
Thinking of this, Wang Baole waited for the scabbard to cool down before grabbing it in his hands. His eyes were full of fire, and he wanted to test out the power of this scabbard. However, when he poured his Spirit into the scabbard, the scabbard only flashed with light, but there was no change.
This made Wang Baole stare blankly for a moment. He looked inside the scabbard and found that it was empty. He poured his Spirit Qi into the scabbard to examine it, and found that the Inscriptions on the spirit kernel were no longer one hundred like before. Instead, there were countless densely packed inscriptions, as if they had been encrypted. Even Wang Baole himself had to carefully analyze them before he could understand them slightly. As for outsiders who did not understand the initial Inscriptions, it would be very difficult to study them thoroughly.
"Inscriptions mutated? And didn't Little Missy say that there would be Spirit Needles formed by sword Qi appearing from the scabbard? " Wang Baole muttered to himself. Refusing to believe it, he once again poured his Spirit Qi into the scabbard and flung it outwards, but there was still no effect.
"You lied to me?" Wang Baole was a little angry, but after confirming the pressure of this scabbard, he felt that it was correct. Scratching his head, he simply used it as a dagger and stabbed at the wall beside him.
With a bang, the wall cracked a little, but there were no other changes. When Wang Baole saw this, he was dumbfounded. Then, he was enraged. He wanted to take out the Hallucination Pillow and ask the lady inside.
However, as soon as he pulled out the Dreamscape Pillow, Wang Baole paused for a moment. Then he thought about the strange temper of Little Missy inside the mask. After a moment of thought, he turned and left the Immortal's Cave. When he returned, he went to the market and bought some pretty flowers. Then he entered the dreamscape, took out the mask, and placed it on the ground.
"Big Sis, I'm here to see you. I don't have much to do today. When I passed by a cliff, I saw these little flowers and thought of you," Wang Baole said softly. He took out the flowers he had bought and placed them next to the mask.
The purple petals complemented the black mask very well. This was especially true in the cold winter of the dreamland. When the wind blew, the petals trembled, and one of them seemed like it was about to fly away.
"Big Sis," he said softly, "these flowers grow all by themselves on the cliff. When I saw them, I felt that you were very lonely too. Since I can't come here often to accompany you, I hope that they can stay here and accompany you in my place." With that, Wang Baole examined the mask. When he saw that nothing had changed, he was a bit disappointed.
"It seems this Big Sis is very experienced. She's not easy to coax …." Wang Baole blinked a few times and sighed inwardly. Then he cleared his throat.
"Oh right, Big Sis, I suddenly remembered something. You asked me to make the scabbard. I've already made it. But how do I use it? I've tried a few times …. "
Before Wang Baole could finish speaking, a gust of wind blew by. Some of the flowers next to the mask flew past the mask, as if they were about to be blown off into the distance.
However, it was at this moment that an invisible hand reached out from within the mask and gently pinched one of the floating flowers. The flower seemed to solidify, and then stopped in midair!
That scene made Wang Baole's pupils contract, and his breathing quickened. He stared at the flower that was floating in mid-air. Soon, he saw the flower lift slightly, as if someone had brought it to the tip of his nose to smell it.
He wasn't sure if he was imagining things, but he could just barely make out the image of a woman on the mask. She had long, flowing hair, and wore ancient Palace garments. It was impossible to see her face clearly, but she gave off an air of supremacy. She held the flower in one hand and gently sniffed it.
"Thank you." After a long moment passed, Wang Baole's heart began to pound. Suddenly, a clear, cold voice could be heard from within the black mask. The sudden words caused Wang Baole to jump in fright, and he immediately backed up a few paces. After suppressing his shock, Wang Baole blinked a few times.
"Miss, your voice is so beautiful …."
"…." The black mask was silent for a moment. After a long moment, the clear, cold voice was no longer as cold as before. It seemed to contain some emotion, and then a second sentence could be heard.
"The scabbard is a growth-type magical item. Only when you refine it to the third grade can you release the Sword Qi Spirit Needle. I will teach you a technique that will allow you to assimilate the scabbard into your body and nourish it. That way, it will fuse with your soul, and you will be able to wield it as you wish.
"At the same time, as you nourish it, it will become your Life Essence magical item. In the future, its effects and transformations will be more in line with your personality and soul.
"In addition, I will also teach you the method to refine the scabbard to the third grade. You must remember it at all times, and strive to refine the scabbard to the third grade as soon as possible." As Little Missy's voice continued to ring out from within the mask, Wang Baole grew excited.
This was the most communication he had ever had with Little Missy since he had acquired the mask. Furthermore, her voice was clearly no longer as cold as before. Wang Baole's heart was filled with excitement, and he felt that he had made the right choice in giving her this gift. He also realized that he had been too stupid in the past. Little Missy clearly had many more secrets that he needed to unlock.
"It seems that I'll have to coax her more in the future …. Hopefully, I'll be able to unlock all the locks as soon as possible. Then we can get along well and increase her favorability!" Wang Baole was very pleased with himself. He firmly committed the method of transforming the scabbard into a Life Essence magical item, as well as the method to refine it to the third grade. With that, he prepared to leave.
However, just as he was about to pick up the mask and leave the dreamscape, Little Missy's clear, cold voice once again echoed out.
"I want to stay here."
"Huh?" Wang Baole stared in shock. After a moment of hesitation, he left the dreamscape alone. However, before he left, he turned back to look at the mask. The flower was still floating in mid-air ….
It was as if she had been looking at it the entire time, smelling its sweet fragrance.
He wasn't sure why, but that glance left a deep impression on Wang Baole. It was as if he really could sense a profound sense of loneliness emanating from her ….
After a moment of silence, Wang Baole returned to the real world. When he opened his eyes, he discovered that the mask was indeed gone. The only thing that remained was the Dreamy Pillow. After carefully putting it away, Wang Baole took a deep breath and then sat down cross-legged. Following the method Little Missy had given him, he attempted to fuse the scabbard into his body.
The method was simple, and the process went very smoothly. Soon, the scabbard disappeared from the outside world. It was now several times smaller than before, and was now spinning within the vortex of his devouring seed.
As for the method to refine the scabbard to the second grade, the materials required were much more precious than the first grade. Furthermore, the amount required was ten times more than the first grade. After looking over the details, Wang Baole realized that although he was familiar with most of the details, he could tell that the cost was not small.
At the same time, he also needed Weapon Sand. However, the amount required was not one hundred, but one thousand!
That wasn't all. The materials required to refine the third grade were even more ridiculous. Especially the Weapon Sand, which required ten thousand!
Even if Wang Baole could refine the Rainbow Spirit Stone himself, he would still be left speechless by such an amount.
However, when he thought about the power of the scabbard, Wang Baole gritted his teeth and began to refine the Weapon Sand with anticipation. However, as he was refining, Wang Baole suddenly had an idea.
"The Weapon Sand can stimulate all the potential of the scabbard, causing the Inscriptions to mutate … Then, can it be used on other Dharma Artifacts?" Wang Baole was suddenly tempted.
"Due to the grade of the scabbard, it doesn't have any effect after refining it. However, my Perfect Second Grade Dharma Artifacts are already powerful. If I can stimulate all their potential and cause the Inscriptions to mutate, then wouldn't their power … increase exponentially?"
Wang Baole's eyes lit up. After muttering to himself for a while and considering the possibility, he decided to try to refine them and see the results. Therefore, he did not use the more valuable Dharma Artifacts. Instead, he took out a number of First and Second Grade Dharma Artifacts from his bag of holding that he could not sell. He went straight to the furnace and began to refine them.
"If I fail, then so be it … But if I succeed, then the power of my Dharma Artifacts will definitely be unfathomable. This mutation is uncontrollable. Even I don't know what will happen after the Dharma Artifacts mutate!"
