After leaving the ancestral temple, Taigong returned to the front of the Hidden Scriptures Tower.
Wang Daoyuan circled around the Jade Dragon Spring and used his Divine Sense to search for the Jade Dragon Algae.
The Jade Dragon Algae grew at the bottom of the spring, and the shallowest part of the water was more than two hundred feet deep.
Generally, the Divine Sense of a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator could only explore three to five hundred feet in an open space.
If he explored underwater, he could only explore about a hundred feet underwater.
For more than two hundred feet underwater, there was nothing he could do.
After Wang Daoyuan opened his Zifu, his Divine Sense could explore the rock layer five to six miles deep.
More than two hundred feet of water was naturally not a problem.
After finding the Jade Dragon Algae, he used the Water Dragon Technique to condense a small water dragon of one foot long and rolled the Jade Dragon Algae out.
The Jade Dragon Algae was a specialty of the Jade Spring Peak, and each of them was very precious. Without the consent of the patriarch, he could not touch them easily.
However, Wang Daoyuan contributed a lot to the family, so no one said anything when he wanted to pull out a few Jade Dragon Algae.
He did not take too much, only one third-rank Jade Dragon Algae, three second-rank Jade Dragon Algae, and five or six first-rank Jade Dragon Algae seedlings.
He took these Jade Dragon Algae back to the cave house and put them into the space of the spiritual pearl.
Naturally, the Jade Dragon Algae could not be directly put into the fish pond. The group of Qing River Carps and Pseudo Spirit Fish ate everything they saw. No matter how much Jade Dragon Algae there was, it was not enough for them to spoil.
Li Qingquan's doppelganger dug a one-foot-wide hole in the ground around the Life Spirit Fire.
Using a second-rank low-grade Sweet Rain Talisman, rain with rich spiritual energy fell in the space.
The newly dug pit was quickly filled with water, and the Jade Dragon Algae was planted in the pit.
Whether these Jade Dragon Algae could survive or not, it was up to their own luck.
Next, Wang Daoyuan began to sacrificial refine the Black Tortoise Shield.
There were many ways to refine the life source magic tool, and each magic tool was different.
For example, the forging method of the Black Tortoise Shield was to purify the materials, and the molding process was also completed in the Dantian.
The only impurity in the Underworld Bead was the death aura, which had been burned by the Spiritual Fire of Life for more than a hundred years and had been consumed.
Using water spiritual power, he took out a wisp of Gui Water Death Flame from the space and extracted the essence of the black iron crystal.
The essence of the Blackwater Iron Crystal was of the water attribute. If it was calcined with an ordinary flame, it would inevitably lose a part of its essence and even affect its quality.
When using the Gui Water Death Flame, one only needed to control the flame and not ignite the essence of the material to greatly reduce the consumption.
He fused the extracted Blackwater Iron Crystal Essence into the Underworld Bead.
After the smelting process was complete, a drop of blood essence was added into it.
A Natal Dharma Artifact would first recognize its master before being refined.
In addition, after many years of nurturing, he was able to wield it like an extension of his arm, displaying a power that far exceeded that of an ordinary magical artifact.
Of course, there were gains and losses. The legacy of a Natal Dharma Artifact was not worth much.
After the seniors passed away, the juniors would not be able to unleash the full power of the Natal Magic Tool they left behind.
It was not a Natal Magic Artifact that he had refined himself, so its power was weaker than ordinary Magic Artifacts.
Once the smelting process was complete, he stored the Underworld Bead into his Dantian.
Then, he poured his spiritual energy and true essence into the Underworld Bead.
After a month of nurturing, he could begin to mold it.
The Spirit Spring Bead was between a solid and liquid state. There was no need to forge it at all. He only needed to use his spiritual energy to mold it into the desired shape.
He moved the Underworld Bead from his Dantian to the Purple Palace in his Sea of Consciousness. His soul followed the refining method and molded the Underworld Bead into the shape of a Black Tortoise Shield.
After that, it was time to inscribe the Tool Pattern.
A Natal Magic Artifact would continuously increase in grade as its master's cultivation level increased.
A lack of materials could be made up for through the continuous nurturing of spiritual energy and true essence.
One could even use the smelting method to fuse the essence of higher grade materials to increase the grade of the materials.
However, the Tool Pattern that was inscribed could not be strengthened.
Therefore, the Tool Pattern of a Natal Magic Artifact could not be directly inscribed like an ordinary magical artifact.
Instead, the Tool Pattern was condensed using the Spiritual Imprint.
In this way, the Tool Pattern had the dual function of the Tool Pattern and the Spiritual Imprint of an ordinary magical artifact.
While ensuring its power, it would be easier to control it.
When increasing the grade of a magical artifact, the Tool Pattern would change a little.
It only needed to be infused with the power of the Spiritual Imprint to perfect the original Tool Pattern.
The Tool Pattern condensed from the same person's Spiritual Imprint would not conflict with the Tool Pattern that was condensed later.
Condensing the Tool Pattern took a lot of time and effort. Wang Daoyuan used half a year to completely condense the Tool Pattern.
At this point, the Natal Magic Artifact, the Black Tortoise Shield, could be considered completed.
However, the materials and Tool Pattern only accounted for a small part of a Natal Magic Artifact's power.
In the end, how much power it could unleash depended on how well it was refined.
As for the inferior Natal Magic Artifacts, they only needed to be nourished with spiritual power and True Yuan.
However, a Natal Magic Artifact that was nurtured this way was weak and had a slow growth rate.
A superior Natal Magic Artifact refinement method required one to infuse one's own understanding into the artifact.
It was just like when a sword cultivator nurtured his Natal Flying Sword, he needed to comprehend the sword intent and infuse it into the flying sword.
Refining the Black Tortoise Shield also required one to visualize the true form of the Black Tortoise.
If one could comprehend the charm of the Black Tortoise and infuse it into the Black Tortoise Shield, its power would increase greatly.
The difficulty of comprehending the charm of the Black Tortoise was not ordinary.
The Black Tortoise was not like the old dragon. If one wanted to comprehend the charm of the True Dragon, one could find a dragon species and observe it frequently.
The Black Tortoise bloodline was extremely rare and it was impossible to find a real object to observe.
There were many ways to use the Black Tortoise's phantom to increase one's defense. During the duel between the Netherworld Sect and the Cruel Sun Palace for the spirit vein.
Wang Daoyuan had fought a cultivator from the Cruel Sun Palace who used a combination Dharmic artifact. That person had used the Black Tortoise's phantom to increase his defense.
The Black Tortoise Water Repelling Array, the existing Mountain Protection Array of Jade Spring Peak, also relied on the Black Tortoise's phantom to increase the array's defense.
However, those things were only superficial and did not have the charm of the Black Tortoise.
For most cultivators, it was extremely difficult to comprehend the charm of a divine beast.
However, it wasn't a difficult task for Wang Daoyuan. After all, the Black Tortoise was part of his Violet Palace Manifestation.
The Purple Mansion phenomenon was related to divine powers and divine powers were an application of the laws of the great world.
Therefore, the Purple Mansion phenomenon was related to the Black Tortoise's divine powers and also contained a trace of the Black Tortoise's charm.
Of course, the effect of observing the Black Tortoise's phenomenon was far inferior to capturing a Black Tortoise bloodline demon beast and observing it.
However, it was still much better than looking at a visualization diagram and imagining it out of thin air.
It was also fortunate that he was refining the Black Tortoise Shield. If it were any other Spirit Tortoise Shield, the Purple Mansion phenomenon would not be of any help.
Wang Daoyuan injected a large amount of Spiritual Sense and spirit energy into the Black Tortoise Mark outside his Purple Mansion.
The Black Tortoise Mark shone brightly and turned into the phantom of a black Black Tortoise.
Then, he controlled the Black Tortoise Shield and imitated the appearance of the Purple Mansion phenomenon to condense the Black Tortoise phantom.
It was impossible to comprehend the charm of the Black Tortoise in a short period of time unless one had an extremely dense Black Tortoise bloodline.
He observed the Black Tortoise's phenomenon every day to comprehend the charm and fused his comprehension, spirit energy, and True Essence into the Black Tortoise Shield.
Two years later, he would have some success in refining the Black Tortoise Shield. Its power should not be weak.
He still needed to find an opponent to spar with to test his strength.
He did not dare to touch demon beasts recklessly. Class 3 demon beasts were not like Class 2 demon beasts where no one would care if they were killed.
Class 3 demon beasts were not inferior to ordinary humans in terms of intelligence and had friends.
If he killed one, he would attract a group of them and might even trigger a small beast stampede.
Furthermore, Class 3 demon beasts were not simple. They had many innate Dharma spells, ranging from two to eight.
It was not strange for some mutated species to have comprehended more than ten innate Dharma spells. They were not to be trifled with.
If Class 3 demon beasts were not strong in combat, there would not be a shortage of Foundation Establishment Elixirs on the market.
He could casually kill two of them and obtain their demon cores to refine Foundation Establishment Elixirs.
It was too risky to fight demon beasts. It was better to let his fifth great uncle be his sparring partner.
