Su Zimo walked around the Spirit Weapon Chamber in the palace and did not find anything. He casually took a superior-grade spirit weapon and left.
Not far from the Spirit Weapon Chamber was the Secret Manual Chamber. Everyone else on the Spirit Ranking had entered long ago and Su Zimo had entered as well.
There were three levels to the Secret Manual Chamber. Su Zimo and the others could only choose a spirit art secret manual on the first level and make a copy of it to bring out.
There were rows of bookshelves in the Secret Manual Chamber in an orderly manner with layers of bamboo slips and paper scrolls – there were many types.
Nefarious Hand.
This was a secret skill. According to the bamboo slips, this skill could take on spirit weapons head-on and even snatch them away!
Eight Gale Transformations.
This was a movement secret manual. After cultivating it, one's footsteps would be abnormally agile and their movements would be erratic. There were eight basic transformations and as many as 64 transformations could be derived – it was extremely powerful!
Su Zimo walked along the bookshelves and browsed through them.
The many spirit art secret manuals broadened his horizons. Some of them were so strange that Su Zimo had never heard of them before and was filled with novelty.
However, there was no spirit art that moved Su Zimo the entire time.
Suddenly, Su Zimo's gaze froze.
Connate spirit weapon forging technique.
"Hmm?"
Su Zimo frowned slightly and picked up a dried beast skin.
The disheveled old man from Misty Peak had once told him that the limit of a Weapon Refinement Master was to refine perfect spirit weapons with five spirit patterns.
However, connate spirit weapons had a sixth spirit pattern known as the connate pattern.
That connate pattern was born from the spirit qi of Heaven and Earth and could not be refined by humans!
As Su Zimo's understanding of weapon refinement deepened, he was certain that the disheveled old man's words were not wrong.
The appearance of Blood Quencher proved that point even more.
Even the condensation of the fifth spirit pattern had to be done at the right time, place and people. The Weapon Refinement Master's mentality, state and the uncontrollable and ethereal fortune, let alone the sixth spirit pattern.
As the number one Weapon Refinement Master of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Su Zimo was extremely disdainful towards this so-called connate spirit weapon forging technique given his standards in weapon refinement. He merely thought that it was the work of an arrogant and ignorant Weapon Refinement Master.
Su Zimo was about to put the beast skin scroll back when his heart skipped a beat and he took a look at the contents.
A moment later, Su Zimo's eyes flickered in thought.
"Bro, have you chosen?"
Right at this moment, the little fatty's voice rang out as he ran over excitedly with an excited expression on his face.
Su Zimo turned around. Little Fatty waved the bamboo scroll in his hands and whispered, "I found a secret skill that's especially suitable for me, heh!"
Su Zimo smiled and turned back to look at the beast skin scroll in his hands. A look of determination flashed through his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Let's go. I've chosen too."
At the entrance, Su Zimo and Little Fatty handed the bamboo scroll and beast skin scroll to an old man.
The old man took over the bamboo slips and beast skin scroll and glanced at them. Suddenly, he frowned and raised his head to look at Su Zimo with a strange expression. He reminded him kindly, "Lad, this smithing art is the nonsense of a madman. Even he can't do it. Are you sure you want to copy this book?"
"Yes."
Su Zimo nodded.
The old man smiled and stopped persuading him. He made two copies and handed them to Su Zimo and Little Fatty.
The moment they left the Secret Manual Chamber, Little Fatty asked curiously, "Bro, what secret skill did you choose? Why did the old man say that?"
"Connate Spirit Weapon Forging Technique," Su Zimo did not hide it.
"Ah?
Little Fatty was dumbfounded.
Although he was not a Weapon Refinement Master, he knew some common knowledge of the cultivation world such as how connate spirit weapons were born from Heaven and Earth spirit qi.
"Connate … spirit weapons can be refined?" Little Fatty stuttered.
Su Zimo shook his head. "It's hard to say. The beast skin scroll only mentioned a possibility. I've never tried it before so I'm not sure either."
In actuality, the so-called Innate Spirit Tool Smithing Art was more like a restoration art than a smithing art.
There was a method mentioned in the scroll.
Firstly, there had to be a damaged connate spirit weapon.
The so-called damage did not refer to the spirit weapon being damaged. Instead, it referred to the situation where the sixth connate spirit pattern was broken.
Su Zimo happened to have a damaged connate spirit weapon in his storage bag – the Mystic Gold Silk Armor.
Secondly, he had to find a connate spirit fire.
A connate spirit fire was much more terrifying than a Level 3 Spirit Fire. It had a higher temperature and was sentient. Usually, it hid deep underground and was rarely seen.
Even a damaged connate spirit weapon would not have any impurities.
In other words, one could completely skip the first four steps of weapon refinement by using a connate spirit fire to forge a connate spirit weapon. Spirit gathering would begin after the weapon was burned red.
Because the temperature of the connate spirit fire was too high, the Weapon Tripod would not be able to withstand it.
Therefore, spirit gathering could only be done without the protection of the Weapon Tripod.
After condensing five spirit patterns in a row, there was a possibility of repairing the sixth connate spirit pattern using the sentience of the connate spirit fire.
It sounded simple, but as long as one thought about it carefully, one would know that it was a complete fantasy.
Prior to this, there was not a single Weapon Refinement Master in Tianhuang Mainland who could guarantee a 100% success rate of condensing four spirit patterns, let alone five or six spirit patterns.
Furthermore, there was no protection of the Weapon Tripod throughout the entire process!
As long as there was a single mistake, the Weapon Refinement Master could die on the spot!
Which Weapon Refinement Master would risk his life for the sake of a damaged connate spirit weapon with a success rate of less than one in ten thousand?
But now, the most dangerous and difficult part of the entire process had become much simpler for Su Zimo.
If there was a single person in Tianhuang Mainland who could repair a connate spirit weapon, it would be Su Zimo.
Of course, this forging technique was merely a possibility. After all, this person had not tried it before and no one knew if he could succeed in the end.
Su Zimo did not insist and merely memorized the forging technique in his heart for the time being, waiting for an opportunity.
Not long after the two of them waited in the Secret Manual Chamber, Leng Rou walked out of the Talisman Puppet Hall with a cold expression without any emotions.
"Sister Leng Rou, how was it? You had a good harvest, right?" Little Fatty leaned over and asked cheekily.
"Yes,"
Leng Rou nodded and shifted her gaze towards Su Zimo intentionally.
Su Zimo happened to look over as well and smiled gently. "Senior Sister Leng, I've always wanted to refine a spirit weapon for you. However, I wasn't capable enough previously and didn't have the chance."
"This flying sword is for you. Take a look and see if it's suitable for you."
Su Zimo retrieved a flying sword from his storage bag and handed it to Leng Rou.
Leng Rou received the flying sword and injected spirit energy into it. Suddenly, four spirit lights shone on the sword.
A supreme-grade flying sword!
"Ah!"
Leng Rou lost her composure and exclaimed.
Back then, Leng Rou had specially refined two Grade 2 talismans for Su Zimo.
Even though Su Zimo did not say anything at that time, he had always been concerned about it.
Su Zimo said, "If it's not suitable for you, I have others here. You can also customize supreme-grade spirit weapons here. Just let me know if you have any requests."
Leng Rou replied hurriedly, "It's pretty good. It's just that … it's too expensive."
Su Zimo replied casually, "It's not expensive. I only have a lot of these on me."
"…"
Little Fatty was stunned and pondered to himself, 'Brother is still the most knowledgeable. I've got to learn from him in the future …'
