Although there was a lot of information in these jade slips, it was a piece of cake for River Styx. In just a cup of tea's time, River Styx had already understood the basic information of this world. According to the records in the jade slips, this world was called Treasure Realm.
Treasure Realm was the name of this world. It wasn't because there were a lot of treasures in this world, but because the cultivators in this world were basically experts in refining tools. Spirit Techniques, Formations, and pills were all very weak in this world. Only refining tools was the right way to go.
In the Treasure Realm, in addition to the World Energy, there was also a special kind of World Energy. The people of this world called it Treasure Qi. This Treasure Qi had a strange effect. When a magic weapon was formed, it would involuntarily absorb Treasure Qi. The more Treasure Qi it absorbed, the stronger the magic weapon's power would be.
Seeing this, River Styx suddenly became interested. What a Treasure Realm, what a world of refiners. In this world, magic weapons were divided into nine ranks and the legendary Sacred Rank. Naturally, the refiners were also divided into ten ranks. As for whether there were any ranks above the Sacred Rank, there was no record of it in the jade slips.
However, on the jade slips, River Styx saw a very interesting piece of information. It was about a Sacred Rank refiner called Myriad Treasure Heavenly Sovereign. According to the legends, the path of refining tools was created by him. He was also the only recorded Sacred Rank refiner. In River Styx's opinion, this Myriad Treasure Heavenly Sovereign was probably the same Primordial Daluo Jinxian who chased after Kunpeng.
Interesting, really interesting. River Styx's face showed a playful smile. A Sacred Rank magic weapon was probably a Xiantian Lingbao. Since this Myriad Treasure Heavenly Sovereign could preach and refine a Xiantian Lingbao, he must not be simple. Moreover, since he dared to call himself Myriad Treasure Heavenly Sovereign, he must have a lot of Lingbao. When facing him, one would have to be careful of his magic weapon.
However, River Styx didn't intend to provoke this person for the time being. He was now interested in the refining methods of the Treasure Realm. Moreover, the unique Treasure Qi of this world made River Styx very curious. Without a treasure like the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth that could refine Houtian to Xiantian, it was still possible to refine a Xiantian Lingbao. This was a very interesting matter.
Early the next morning, River Styx found a refining shop and directly bought it. Then, he closed the shop and refused to see any customers, preparing to concentrate on studying the refining methods of this world. Among the jade slips he bought before, there was a refining method called the "Hundred Refinements of Earthly Fire", so River Styx specially bought a refining shop that was connected to an Earthly Fire furnace.
After studying the refining method of the Hundred Refinements of Earthly Fire for a long time, River Styx had a general idea in his heart. The refining methods of this world were slightly better than those of the Great Desolation. In the Great Desolation, the magic weapons refined by the Houtian Lingbao were sometimes not inferior to Xiantian Lingbao in terms of power. However, the refining methods of this world couldn't achieve this.
However, the Treasure Realm also had its own special features. Inside the Treasure Realm, after a refiner successfully refined a magic tool, the magic tool would absorb an unequal amount of Treasure Qi due to the different degree of compatibility between the magic tool and the world. This would increase the magic tool's power. The higher the degree of compatibility, the more Treasure Qi it could absorb.
River Styx didn't care much about the refining methods of this world. What he cared about was the so-called treasure qi. If this treasure qi could really increase the power of a Lingbao, and if he could introduce this treasure qi into the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth when refining a Lingbao, then the power of the refined Lingbao would definitely increase by a lot. In other words, if he could discover the secret of the so-called Saint Ranked Refinement Master, then he would be able to refine Xiantian Lingbao even without the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth.
According to the refining method recorded in the Hundred Refinements of Earth Fire, River Styx put some materials into the furnace. With the help of the blazing earth fire, the materials would be melted and the impurities would be removed. The first step was the same as the refining method of the Great Desolation.
After the materials were perfectly fused, River Styx used his two fingers as a pen and drew runes in the air. Then, he inserted them into the unformed Lingbao. As more and more runes were inserted, these runes connected and gradually formed one restriction after another. The more restrictions formed, the stronger the Lingbao would be.
This was another special part of the refining method of the Treasure Realm. When refining a treasure in the Great Desolation, the restrictions placed were a whole, but when refining a treasure in the Treasure Realm, the runes were connected to the restrictions. As a result, if the treasure wasn't satisfied in the future, they could refine it a second time. They only needed to add new runes to the original restrictions.
This was something that the treasures refined in the Great Desolation couldn't do. If a treasure in the Great Desolation wanted to be refined again, it was basically destroying it. However, River Styx could naturally see the pros and cons. Although the refining method of the Treasure Realm could refine a Lingbao twice, three times, or even multiple times, because the restrictions were not a whole, even if the quality of the refined Lingbao was the same as the one in the Great Desolation, its power would be much weaker. Moreover, the Lingbao would also have flaws. This was why River Styx felt strange when he saw the Lingbao used by those people.
After setting up the restrictions, River Styx began to shape it. When the Lingbao was completely formed, River Styx felt the aura of treasures between heaven and earth continuously flowing into the Lingbao. After a long time, when the Lingbao emitted a gentle light, River Styx knew that the refining of the Lingbao was successful.
This Lingbao was a bronze iron hammer. The hammer shined with a green light and the sound of thunder could be faintly heard. River Styx picked up the Lingbao and looked at it. His face suddenly revealed a bit of astonishment. This was a fifth level Lingbao. It took less than half a month to refine a fifth level Lingbao. What a joke.
River Styx knew that he was proficient in the art of refining, but he didn't expect that the first Lingbao he refined using this world's refining method would only be a fifth level Lingbao. It was quite ironic. However, this also aroused River Styx's fighting spirit. Since Empyrean Myriad Treasure could refine a Saint Rank Lingbao, there was no reason why River Styx couldn't do the same.
River Styx casually threw the Lingbao in his hand to the side and began the next refinement. This time, River Styx began to strive for perfection. He also began to observe the changes in the Lingbao at every step. He also began to study what exactly caused the difference in the amount of treasures absorbed when the Lingbao was formed. These were all important factors that affected the quality of the Lingbao.
As time passed, River Styx took longer and longer to refine each Lingbao. However, the quality of the Lingbao he refined became higher and higher. From the initial fifth level Lingbao to the current ninth level Lingbao, River Styx's refining method became more and more proficient. The Lingbao he refined also became stronger and stronger.
"Hmm?" River Styx suddenly exclaimed in surprise. He suddenly realized that the refining materials he had prepared were all used up. He turned around and saw the piles of Lingbao in the refining workshop. Only then did River Styx come back to his senses. He calculated that more than three thousand years had passed. Time really flew by.
Roughly counting, there were more than a thousand Lingbao placed in the refining workshop. After a rough count, there were thirty-four ninth level Lingbao, one hundred and twenty-three eighth level Lingbao, three hundred and twenty-one seventh level Lingbao, and more than a thousand fifth and sixth level magical treasures. These were all the creations that River Styx had made in the past three thousand years.
By now, River Styx had already thoroughly studied the refining methods of the Treasure Realm. Although he only used the Hundred Refinements of Earthly Fire, one method could lead to many other methods. Now, River Styx could refine a ninth level Lingbao every time he refined.
As for the so-called first to ninth level Lingbao, River Styx had also thoroughly studied them. First to third level Lingbao were equivalent to low-grade Houtian Lingbao, fourth to sixth level Lingbao were equivalent to mid-grade Xiantian Lingbao, seventh to eighth level Lingbao were equivalent to high-grade Houtian Lingbao, and ninth level Lingbao were equivalent to top-grade Houtian Lingbao. The only difference was that they were slightly weaker than the Great Desolation's Houtian Lingbao.
Now that River Styx had thoroughly studied the refining method of Houtian Lingbao, it was time to try refining the so-called Saint Lingbao. However, before that, River Styx still needed to prepare some materials. Although these Lingbao could be melted down, they were still personally refined by River Styx. It would be good to keep them as a gift in the future.
After spending all the spirit stones he had, River Styx returned to the refining shop with a pile of refining materials. With a wave of his hand, he once again sealed the entire shop with a formation. When a Xiantian Lingbao was refined, it would definitely cause a strange phenomenon. With the formation isolating it, no one outside would be able to discover it.
After everything was ready, River Styx began a new round of refining. This time, his goal was to refine a Saint Lingbao. If he could completely grasp the refining method of Saint Lingbao, then River Styx's trip would not have been in vain. At that time, his refining skills would definitely reach a new level. With the help of the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, River Styx would be able to refine Xiantian Lingbao with greater ease.
