Chapter 68: Artifact Refining Entry!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Although he now had a better idea of the differences between cultivators, as well as the direction that he wanted to take for his natal magical treasure, if he wanted to forge his magical treasure, he would first have to head to the sect to learn how.

In the Divine Will Sect, there was not only a place that specialized in refining pills, but also a place that specialized in refining magical artifacts.

Of course, most of these refined magical artifacts were provided to the inner and outer sect disciples.

As for the disciples of the Five Halls, all of them had entered the foundation establishment realm. Not counting those who were at the early stage of the foundation establishment realm, those at and above the intermediate stage of the foundation establishment realm would have usually already refined their natal magical treasure.

A natal magical treasure could not be refined by others. Only one’s own foundation establishment true fire, one’s own blood essence, and suitable materials could be used for refining a natal magical treasure.

To be precise, a cultivator would only be able to refine the embryonic form of a natal magical treasure with those.

If they truly wanted to completely refine their natal magical treasure, they would need patiently and dutifully feed it as they cultivated in the late-stage foundation establishment realm.

Doing so would then allow the connection between the natal magical treasure and the cultivator to become so close that the two would become indistinguishable from one another.

Of course, this was all for later.

For Li Ming, he first had to refine the magical treasure.

In Divine Will Sect, there was a special place for refining artifacts. Every foundation establishment disciple could have a separate refining room.

Inside, the sect would also provide some basic materials for free.

Of course, important and rare materials would need to be prepared by the disciples themselves.

After all, no matter how big the sect was, it was impossible for it to prepare high-quality materials for every disciple. The sect could simply not afford such an ordeal.

Inside the Artifact Refining Hall.

“Elder, I’m Li Ming, a disciple of the Martial Hall. I’m here to refine a natal magical treasure.”

“Li Ming?”

The elder raised his head and sized Li Ming up. A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

“That’s right. The disciple who cultivates both body and qi, never before seen. In your most recent sect mission, you saved your fellow sect disciples, killed those from the Heavenly Demon Sect, and even killed someone at the late-stage foundation establishment realm.”

“Although the sect did not announce it to the public due to the special circumstances in the mission, the sect will still reward you.”

“The sect will provide you with some of the precious materials you need to refine your natal magical treasure.”

“What magical treasure do you plan to refine?”

Hearing the elder’s words, Li Ming was very surprised.

Although he Imew that the mission he had taken was special, he did not expect the sect to actually give him such a reward.

They were even willing to take out precious materials for him.

This surprised Li Ming.

Originally, he thought that he would still need to go to the market to carefully look for materials himself.

He had even been preparing to exchange all of his merit points.

He was simply too poor at the moment.

All of the spirit stones he obtained from the mission was absorbed by the black stone.

If he really wanted to go to the market, he would have to borrow some spirit stones from Chen Qingke and the other wealthy families.

However, now that he had the help of the sect, Li Ming felt much more relaxed.

“Elder, I want to refine a sword.”

Li Ming cupped his hands as he spoke. Since he had decided to become a sword cultivator, he naturally had to refine a treasured sword.

Although he was planning on having his natal magical treasure come in the form of a sword, in reality, Li Ming had never learned any sword techniques. If it was not for the fact that he had a certain level of proficiency in all kinds of weapons, Li Ming would not have chosen it.

After reaching the intermediate-stage foundation establishment realm, if he wanted to continue breaking through, he would need to seek breakthroughs in other directions.

One of them was obviously the natal magical treasure.

“There are all kinds of materials for refining magical treasures in the Artifact Refining Hall. There are also some instructions that you can take a look at. Make your way to the White Tiger Room Two. That will be where you refine your artifacts in the future.”

“I’ll get someone to send you the materials you need in a while.”

The elder spoke in quick succession, and Li Ming hurriedly cupped his hands in response.

With the help of the sect, things became much easier.

Li Ming did not hesitate to head straight to the refining room arranged for him.

In the Artifact Refining Hall, there were many disciples refining their own magical artifacts, and there were also some who were refining magical treasures.

Eventually, he found the White Tiger Room Two.

When he entered the room, Li Ming was instantly hit by a wave of heat.

“Interesting, even without having been ignited, the inside of this furnace is already so hot.”

Nevertheless, this temperature was nothing to Li Ming.

Compared to the heat brought about by the golden crow true fire, this was obviously not worth mentioning at all.

This so-called Artifact Refining Hall was actually no different from a blacksmith shop in the mortal world.

Li Ming brought out his materials and looked at the embryonic forms of many magical treasures in the room. There were all kinds of magical treasures.

Li Ming carefully selected and found a treasured sword.

After some consideration, he began making his preparations.

Refining artifacts was a very boring process, but at the same time, it required great concentration and care in order to successfully complete.

Once there was a problem or a mistake, all the previous efforts would be wasted!

Once you failed, not only would you have wasted your time, but you would have wasted your materials as well.

This was especially painful when using scarce materials.

Once you wasted them, there could be no way for you to refine again in the short term.

The preciousness of the materials made it impossible for Li Ming to allow himself to make any mistakes.

Although the room looked no different from a blacksmith’s forge, he was still refining a magical treasure. Other than the forging of the crystal, he also needed to prepare other auxiliary materials and various treasures in advance.

Fortunately, these things had already been prepared by the sect.

After Li Ming ran things through his mind, he immediately began forging.

Golden crow true fire surged out and instantly entered the furnace.

In an instant, the temperature in the entire refining room rose sharply!

If Li Ming had not frequently tempered his body with heavenly fire, as well as golden crow true fire, he would have hurt himself.

If it were anyone else, they would have been unable to endure the heat a long time ago.

Anyhow, when the golden crow true fire appeared, Li Ming went into full focus and threw the crystal in.

Refining artifacts was a rather boring job. It required the crystal to be continuously refined and repeatedly hammered to slowly forge it into shape.

However, because it was a natal magic treasure, Li Ming also had to continuously infuse his spiritual qi into it.

Besides that, he also needed to drip his own blood essence.

With the help of the other materials, the crystal could contain more spiritual qi as it was forged.

The entire process was repeated again and again, and it was very time-consuming.

Li Ming was patient. Compared to the day-to-day tempering of his body, just this much was a lot easier.

Ordinary disciples would generally become tired and bored after such a long period of repetitive movements.

Many disciples would even choose to go out for a breather during the refinement process.

After all, this kind of dull and depressing scene was something that they could not bear.

Three days later, the crystal was finally forged into the shape of a sword!

After repeated hammering and tempering, the appearance of the sword became increasingly refined.

During this process, Li Ming also obtained a new entry!

Three days of focused refining allowed Li Ming to obtain a purple entry! [Purple entry: Divine Armament Hundred Refinements! ]

There was no doubt that this purple entry, Hundred Refinements of Divine Armament was an entry specifically meant for refining weapons.

It allowed him to have a 100% success rate in refining weapons!

In addition, it could also increase the attributes of the magical treasure that he refined by 50%!
