Zhao Hailin's decision to give up caused waves of boos. At the same time, the name of the Crossed Celestial Artifact was spread far and wide. In addition, there were too few of them, so they gradually became rare items.
Although the matter had come to an end and its popularity had decreased, the three words "Crossed Celestial Artifact" were still deeply ingrained in people's hearts. Although not everyone knew about it, it was close. Naturally, there were many guesses about the identity of the creator.
However, Wang Baole was filled with regret. Zhao Hailin's decision to give up made him feel disappointed. He felt that he had gained too much from this friendly exchange with Zhao Hailin.
Not only did he have a better understanding of the Numinous Treasures, but he also had a better grasp of the creation process. Previously, Wang Baole had no confidence, but now, he felt that he could refine it.
As for the matter of exposing himself as the creator of the Crossed Celestial Artifact, Wang Baole thought about it and felt that it was inappropriate. On one hand, there were indeed some problems with the Crossed Celestial Artifact. On the other hand, Wang Baole enjoyed having the "Le" brand on the surface and the "Crossed Celestial Artifact" in the dark. Having these two brands made him feel that it was a very powerful symbol.
"The high officials' autobiographies once said that in the life of a great person, there will be many titles used to summarize his life. Now … I barely fit the description." Wang Baole chuckled. He didn't know how he understood this sentence, but he felt that he was very unusual.
Proudly, Wang Baole began the official research and development of the third-grade Numinous Treasure. Using the series of methods that he had comprehended from Zhao Hailin's video, in the days that followed, besides refining the Weapon Sand daily, almost all of his attention was immersed in the refinement of the third-grade Numinous Treasure.
It was also at this time that the list of his gains from Spirit Breath Village was finally tabulated and sent to him. Wang Baole took a cursory look and was shocked.
"More than 13,600 items …" Wang Baole was a little speechless. He had plundered Spirit Breath Village and didn't count the exact number. Now that he saw it, he understood why the Dao College took so long to tabulate.
The amount was simply too large, especially since all the items inside had to be checked and recorded by the Dao Academy. Therefore, it would take a long time.
Moreover, there were more than three thousand items on the list. Even the Dao Academy didn't know what they were for, and such items were marked on the list.
After checking, Wang Baole found that he could choose more than a thousand items. However, he couldn't take all of the corpses, plants, and medicinal pills. He could only choose one item from each type of item.
After weighing the pros and cons, Wang Baole kept half of the options and gave the remaining half to the Dao Academy in exchange for spirit stones of equal value. Instantly, the number of spirit stones he had reached an astonishing number.
Looking at the huge amount of Spirit Stones in his account, Wang Baole's heart shook violently. After a long while, he took a deep breath.
"I'm rich!" His eyes shone. Seeing that he had so many spirit stones in such a short period of time, he bought many of the materials that he couldn't bear to buy for the past few months and began refining a third-grade numinous treasure.
However, the difficulty of refining a third-grade numinous treasure was still extremely high even though Wang Baole had understood a lot. After two months, when Wang Baole finally accumulated seven thousand grains of Armament Sand, he finally succeeded for the first time after many failures!
He had refined the first numinous treasure of his life!
This numinous treasure wasn't a unique item. It was a flying sword named the Cang Wave Sword!
Once this sword was out, it could transform into waves. While its aura was shocking, its lethality was also not to be underestimated. Although it was considered ordinary among the third-grade numinous treasures, it could still shatter a perfect second-grade Dharmic artifact even if it couldn't penetrate it easily.
After experiencing its power, Wang Baole was excited. However, he understood that if he wanted to become an Armament Soldier, refining a Cang Wave Sword was far from enough.
After all, the Armament Soldier assessment was a major event in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion. After asking around, he understood the rules and knew that every Armament Soldier assessment required the examinee to prepare a numinous treasure for the assessment.
The excellence of the numinous treasure was the main point of the assessment. Third-grade was the most basic requirement. If one wanted to refine a numinous treasure casually and be promoted, it wasn't impossible. However, luck played a huge role in it!
Therefore, in the regular Armament Soldier assessment, the examinee would try his best to prepare the best numinous treasure within his ability. After the preparation was complete, he could apply for it. After the Dharmic Armament Pavilion approved it, they would give a date for the assessment.
When the date arrived, the four Deputy Pavilion Heads and the Pavilion Head of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion would appear at the designated location of the Armament Soldier assessment. As the examiners, they would decide whether the examinee would be promoted to an Armament Soldier. At the same time, they would ask various questions regarding the refinement of numinous treasures during this segment and require the examinee to answer them.
Of course, there were times when the examinee would be asked to refine a new numinous treasure on the spot. There were even times when the Deputy Pavilion Head suggested that the examinee refine another numinous treasure on the spot!
If there were any mistakes in the process, the promotion would fail. At the same time, if there were any cheating, the consequences would be severe. It was enough to expel the examinee from the Upper Academy Island and take back what he had learned. Therefore, it wasn't that there weren't any who dared to cheat in the Armament Soldier assessment, but they were extremely rare and met with terrible consequences.
After understanding all this, Wang Baole deeply understood that his current standard was still not enough … At the same time, he had not prepared the numinous treasure required for the assessment.
Besides, my goal is to be able to refine perfect third-grade numinous treasures at the same time, just like how I refine second-grade numinous treasures with ease. In this way, even if I encounter any difficulties, no one will be able to stop me from becoming an Armament Soldier! This was Wang Baole's request for himself. With a resolute look in his eyes, he went into seclusion again and began refining the third-grade numinous treasures at a higher level.
As time passed, Wang Baole refined his seventh numinous treasure. He could feel that his familiarity with the numinous treasures was increasing day by day. It was also at this time that he finished refining all ten thousand Armament Sand.
Looking at the Armament Sand and feeling the scabbard in his body, Wang Baole fell into deep thought. He was in a dilemma. He didn't know if he should continue familiarizing himself with the third-grade numinous treasures according to his plan or refine his scabbard first.
The former would take a long time, and Wang Baole felt that he still needed to repeatedly ponder and try many times before he could succeed. As for the latter, although he wasn't very confident, he already had all the key materials. The things that he lacked could be bought on Upper Academy Island.
After a while, Wang Baole made a decision. The Armament Sand and scabbard were too precious. Wang Baole didn't have a certain level of confidence and didn't dare to try. Therefore, he continued to immerse himself in refining the third-grade numinous treasures.
Time passed slowly. During this period of seclusion, Wang Baole made up his mind. He even ate fewer snacks. His body slimmed down, and he seemed to have become more handsome.
Finally, after another three months, with the support of sufficient Spirit Stones and the number of failures that Wang Baole had lost count, he gradually became more familiar with refining third-grade Numinous Treasures. Finally, he was able to refine a perfect third-grade Numinous Treasure. Although it was the type that was easy to refine, Wang Baole was already very excited.
At the same time, he also upgraded and refined all of his perfect second-grade Dharmic artifacts. Even some Crossed Dharmic artifacts were upgraded to third-grade with the support of his rich financial resources.
As for the scabbard, Wang Baole also tried it out boldly. With his skill and a certain amount of luck, he succeeded in refining it on the first try. Although it wasn't perfect yet, it still became a third-grade numinous treasure.
However, when the extremely excited Wang Baole held the scabbard and waved it around excitedly, expecting to see the Sword Qi needles inside, something that made him dumbfounded happened …
A buzzing sound came from the scabbard. Wang Baole stared in shock at the nine mosquitoes that flew out of the scabbard. His eyes were a little scattered, and he lost focus for a moment. His mind buzzed for a moment.
"What's this?" Wang Baole's face was filled with disbelief. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, feeling that this matter was inconceivable. After a while, he came to his senses. He immediately became anxious and hurriedly checked the inscriptions on the scabbard. After a careful search, he finally found the reason … During the process of fusing the Armament Sand, there was still a problem with his technique. Therefore, when he upgraded the scabbard to third-grade, there was an accident that caused the inscriptions to be adjusted, creating some kind of abnormal change that he still couldn't understand.
To a certain extent, this scabbard … was both a success and a failure!
However, it was different from ordinary Crossed Dharmic Artifacts. Those Crossed Dharmic Artifacts were mutated from one grain of Armament Sand, but this scabbard … had fused with ten thousand grains of Armament Sand!
"It can't be …" Wang Baole wanted to cry, but no tears came out. He regretted that he had been so impulsive to refine the scabbard now … All of his anticipation and excitement instantly disappeared as if he had been doused with cold water. Especially when he looked at the nine mosquitoes flying in front of him, he almost raised his hand to slap them to death. However, when he thought of how he had spent ten thousand grains of Armament Sand and countless other materials to create this Natal Dharmic Artifact, his heart ached and he couldn't bear to slap them.
"Mosquitoes … are also very powerful!" Wang Baole consoled himself with a long face. He thought of the terrifying giant mosquito that had appeared in the Pond Cloud Rainforest years ago.
Therefore, with a long face, he gathered his courage and walked out of the cave abode. He planned to test out the specific combat power of these mosquitoes outside …
