Everyone, there's no need to wait any longer.
…!
Inside the cave!
"Yu Haoran, stop digging. Let's capture the Enchanted Beast now!" Thaling said excitedly when he heard that the only way to restore the Upper Rank 5 Spirit Vein was to let the Enchanted Beast stand in front of the Upper Rank 5 Spirit Vein again.
"Thaling, don't you know what this is?" Yu Haoran asked in dissatisfaction as he pointed at the Spirit Stone that he had just dug out.
"Isn't it just a Rank 4 Spirit Stone?" Thaling replied indifferently as if he did not care at all.
"Since you know that this is a Rank 4 Spirit Stone, then you should know how precious and rare it is."
"Why don't you take advantage of this rare opportunity to store more? After the Blue Moon Secret Realm closes, if you want to obtain Spirit Stones of this level, other than some forbidden places, you can only go to the Spirit Veins guarded by the top seven sects and the Inherited Families."
Thaling's indifferent tone made Yu Haoran angry as he reprimanded him.
"Do you want me to challenge a faction that has a Martial Honorable Realm expert and countless Martial Saints at the peak of the Martial Saint Realm?"
"Yu Haoran, I'll give you a choice now."
Facing Yu Haoran's reprimand, Thaling was not angry. Instead, he gave him a choice.
"Speak!"
Taking a deep breath, Yu Haoran knew that he was blaming Thaling because the Rank 4 Spirit Stones were in an unstable state.
Therefore, after adjusting his state of mind, his tone returned to normal.
"Either you choose a Lower Rank Zong Realm Natal Weapon with an Artifact Spirit!"
"Or, I'll just have to dig out these hundred fourth-grade spirit stones!"
"Thaling, you're not joking, right?" Hearing Thaling's two choices, Yu Haoran could not help but gulp as he asked in disbelief.
Although he didn't know much about the art of refining weapons in his past life, he had read a lot of information about refining weapons during his time in the Weapon Refining Sect.
It was not impossible for a Zong realm magic weapon to possess a weapon spirit.
However, there were three extremely harsh conditions.
The first condition was the need for materials for Zong realm artifacts.
In order for a Grandmaster Realm artifact to possess an artifact spirit, the materials needed to refine it could be said to be the best and most precious in the Tianxuan Continent. It could even be said that the materials were difficult to be produced in the Tianxuan Continent.
Moreover, this kind of material was very rare. Some weapon refiners who had reached the level of a master might not be able to find a suitable material to refine a magic weapon of this level in their lifetime.
However, he recalled that he had once obtained a piece of Nine Heavens Star Obsidian from the Yu Clan's treasury. It was formed from the core of an exploding star. So, it had satisfied the first harsh requirement.
The second requirement was the need for an artifact spirit!
There were two ways to form an Artifact Spirit for an Artifact.
The first was through years of tempering and cultivation. When the artifact reached a certain level, an Artifact Spirit with self-consciousness would be born from the inside of the artifact.
The Artifact Spirit contained within the artifact could be said to be the child of the artifact's user. Not only could it allow the user to better unleash the power of the artifact, but the Artifact Spirit's cultivation and strength would also increase as the user's cultivation and strength increased.
More importantly, the Artifact Spirit formed naturally from the artifact would be equivalent to the existence of an Emperor Realm expert when the Artifact Spirit's consciousness had fully matured.
If the user of the artifact died and the Artifact Spirit did not suffer too much damage, then the force that owned the Artifact Spirit would have the existence of an Emperor Realm expert.
In an environment where Honored Realm experts lived in seclusion and Emperor Realm experts had a hard time breaking through, the reason why the Seven Great Sects, Three Great Empires, and Nine Great Inherited Families had been able to stand for tens of thousands of years was not only because of the multiplication of geniuses, but also because these forces more or less had one or two Emperor Realm weapons that had naturally formed an Artifact Spirit.
Of course, if Yu Haoran's As My Will Rod could be damaged and regained its Artifact Spirit, it would not be impossible for it to regain its former glory as an Emperor Realm weapon, but the process would be very difficult.
The second method was to use the spirit of a living creature to forcefully fuse with the artifact and use the spirit to control the artifact, becoming the artifact's Artifact Spirit.
However, this method had even more stringent requirements on the spirit.
This was because the spirit of an ordinary living creature could not be fused with the artifact at all. Only those born naturally could.
Thinking of this, Yu Haoran could not help but glance at the little snake lying on the jade bed.
The third stringent requirement was for the artificer.
In order to make a low-grade Zong Realm artifact possess an Artifact Spirit, the artificer had to be at least at the peak of the Honored Realm, or even the Emperor Realm.
"Thaling, are you a peak Honored Realm artificer?"
Although he knew that Thaling was proficient in artifact forging, Yu Haoran had never thought that his skill level would be so high.
At this moment, Yu Haoran finally thought of this when he was considering the stringent requirements for making a low-grade Zong Realm artifact possess an Artifact Spirit.
"Haha," Thaling only chuckled in response to Yu Haoran's questioning and did not give a direct answer.
Putting away the low-grade King Realm sword, Yu Haoran jumped into the liquid spirit water and swam to the entrance of the cave.
"Thaling, where has the Enchanted Beast fled to now?"
"I've thought it through!" Seeing that Yu Haoran had made the right choice, Thaling was very satisfied, but when he thought of how Yu Haoran had questioned his decision just now, he could not help but tease him.
"Haha!"
Laughing foolishly, Yu Haoran did not refute and simply sped up to leave the cave.
After leaving the spirit mist, Yu Haoran solemnly discussed with the red Red Wood Boar, "Brother Boar, although there is no danger in the spirit vein, there is a very important treasure in the depths of the spirit vein that I cannot take away for the time being. So, I hope that you can guard the entrance of the cave and prevent any living creatures from entering."
"Ruuu!" The red Red Wood Boar grunted a few times and signaled Yu Haoran to be at ease, then carried Lin Mengyao into the spirit mist.
"Brother Boar, this spirit mist is still the pure spirit energy from a high-grade Tier-5 spirit vein. It can be used to greatly increase one's cultivation and strength!" Seeing that the red Red Wood Boar was about to enter the spirit mist, Yu Haoran could not help but remind it in a loud voice.
"Ruuu …!" The red Red Wood Boar grunted as it entered the spirit mist.
Turning around, Yu Haoran circulated the essence force in his dantian and asked, "Direction!"
"Southeast!" Thaling gave him the direction to pursue.
With his movement technique at the pinnacle of Greater Mastery, Yu Haoran transformed into a gust of wind and quickly left the spirit mist and the spirit vein, entering the depths of the secret realm.
The Enchanted Beast, which had escaped about five thousand li from the spirit vein, stood on a small hill that was not very tall and could not help but cast its gaze in the direction of the high-grade Tier-5 spirit vein.
Although the Enchanted Beast had an ulterior motive for nurturing the spirit vein, after living together for a hundred years, it was impossible for it not to have feelings for the spirit vein.
However, when it thought of Yu Haoran, who had transformed into the Vajra Monkey, whose strength had reached the first grade of Tier-5, and who also possessed profound staff techniques, the trace of sadness in the Enchanted Beast's eyes instantly disappeared.
