Chapter 712 – Request for information

A semi-finished treasure would usually refer to a situation where the magical equipment had reached the treasure grade, but the artifact spirit that was raising them was far from being able to do so.

In this sort of situation, there were only two ways to raise a magical equipment spirit treasure grade. The first method was to have a grandmaster refiner personally help with the refining of the spirit; the second method could only be cultivated through the cultivation of true essence, raising the accumulation of the artifact spirit and then replaceing an opportunity to advance to a treasure rank artifact spirit.

Although the first of these two methods was simple, the number of Master Refiners probably did not exceed the number of ten fingers in the entire cultivation world. As for the cultivation world of Yuzhou, there was not a single Master Refiner, not to mention that even if a Master Refiner were to help, he could at most raise his Artifact Spirit Point to low-grade Treasure rank.

As for the second method, it was to completely rely on the cultivator’s true essence to nurture the spirit, and there were almost no rules to follow. Some cultivators had been nurturing it for dozens of years, but they had never seen the slightest increase in the spirit of the artifact; some cultivators could raise the spirit of the artifact to the treasure grade in three to five years; some cultivators could raise it once in a short period of time, but not again in the future.

Of course, other than these, there were also some supplementary methods. However, these methods weren’t decisive and could only be used to upgradreasure through these two methods.

A brilliant artificer could refine High quality magical equipment, and a brilliant artificer could refine high-grade spiritual tools. Even the most brilliant artificer could only refinigh-grade treasure shell, but they could only refine low-grade treasure spirit artifacts, and the process of refining a spirit would require the complete cooperation of the owner of the treasure. As for the legendary master artificer who could refine daoyin apparatus, it would be even less likely for outsiders to know the extent of his skill.

Of course, like Yang Junshan’s Intrinsic Treasure Mountain Monarch Seal, although it had just reached the high-grade Spirit Ranking, the Artifact Spirit had already reached the treasure rank, becoming able to protect its own master. It was probably impossible for suching to appear in dozens of artifacts.

In the Yuzhou’s cultivation world, a treasure usually meanhird rate sect’s main sect treasure. Although the Western Mountain Madame Yang had Yang Junshan’s battle power that could be compared to Heavenly Dipper, but the clan did not have a single treasure either, so it could be said that she was not even a third rate sect. Of course, the broken Sky Breaking Mace that was revealed inside Yang Junshan’s body had to be calculated, if he dared!

Even if it was only an incomplete treasure, for all the cultivators here, it could be said to biece of cake.

“What did Taoist Little Yang say?”

According to the agreement, although the Yang Junshan brothers only took a third of all the loot, because of Yang Junshan’s identity as a grandmaster array master, he had priority over all the spoils of war. The few Spiritual Masters obviously wanted to leave this thorny problem to Yang Junshan.

Yang Junhao’s lips moved, but he still did not say anything in the end.

Yang Junshan looked at the shield on the ground and laughed: There’s no rush, let’s go to the Artifact Forging Hall to take a look first!

The three Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns let out a smile in unison and said, “Alright, let’s go take a look at what’s inside the Artifact Forging Hall first.”

The Artifact Forging Hall of the Heaven-Shaken Sect had a total of three complete sets of artifact forging equipment back then. These tools covered every step of the artifact forging process, from selecting and purifying spirit materials and minerals to maintaining and storing the artifacts after they were completed, and the total number of tools involved reached forty-nine.

Out of the forty-nine artifacts, only three of the most important ones had reached the spirit rank. As for the rest, they had reached five of the high-grade Dharma treasures, twelve of the mid-grade ones, and the rest were all low-grade Dharma treasures, capable of refining all magic treasures below the spirit rank.

In the end, there were only thirty-three items left in this whole set of forty-nine equipment. The rest were either destroyed, robbed, or discarded after being washed clean by decades of time.

Fortunately, the crafting furnace was still there. Although one of the Spirit Ranked Weapon Fires was dying, it was still burning. As long as these two core items were still there, the remaining items would at most be slowly replenished with some time and energy.

Amongst all the forty-nine equipment, there were five that had reached the Spirit Ranking, the rest were of high-grade magic grade, the second tier was at the middle grade of the Spirit Ranking, the second tier was at the middle grade of the Spirit Ranking, and of the forty-nine equipment, there were five that had reached the Spirit Ranking, the second tier was at the high-grade, the third tier was at the high-grade, and the third tier was at the mid-grade.

After going through the inventory, there were only twenty-six pieces left, plus there were only two of the five types of Spirit Ranked Equipment, and only five of the high-grade Dharma Ranked Equipment. What was even more unfortunate was that the fire in the medium-grade Spirit Ranked Furnace had already been extinguished.

The highest set of artifacts was the spiritual high-grade, capable of forging artifacts. The incomplete artifacts that Yang Junshan and the others had obtained from the Sirius Gate cultivators probably came from this artifact.

According to the records, of this entire set of artifacts, there were eight of them that had reached the spirit rank, seventeen of them were high-grade, the rest were all mid-grade, and not a single one was lower grade.

However, the damage to this set of tools was also the highest, and there were only a few that were destroyed or abandoned, but most of them had disappeared. This included the fact that the fire in the pill furnace was not extinguished, but rather disappeared.

As for the high grade Spirit Ranked Iron Cauldron, it was even more severely damaged, the one under his feet was missing, causing the entire furnace to fall to the ground, the lid had broken half of it, and there were a few obvious cracks on the wall of the furnace. Yang Junshan reckoned that even if it could be repaired, it would need the help of a Master Refiner.

Looking at these records and the remaining artifacts, not to mention Yang Junshan, even the leaders of the sects like Adept Chang Li and Adept Chang Li were unable to hide the amazement on their faces.

The Heaven-Shaken Sect had accumulated for thousands of years, and out of the three complete sets of artifact forging tools, sixteen of them had reached the spirit rank. However, other than using them to refine spirit artifacts, the rest of the artifacts could be said to be useless, unable to be used for slaughter or cultivation.

In fact, in the cultivation world, there were many magic treasures that were refined and used to assist in the cultivation. For example, the Spirit Dew, which was condensed from spirit plants, was an item that was often used to concoct pills, and if ordinary items were used to retrieve it, a sliver of the spirit energy contained in it would be discarded; but if a specially refined low-grade magic jade bottle was placed inside, the spirit energy contained in the dew would not leak out for at least an hour; if a mid-grade magic jade bottle was used for concocting, it would be able to keep the spirit liquid fresh for three to five days; if there waop-grade magic sealed spirit bottle, the spirit energy contained within would not leak out for at least three to five years.

Of course, gathering the lowest quality alchemy materials like the Spirit Flower Dew was quite easy. Using a high-grade Spirit Sealing Bottle to store it was obviously a waste, but at the very least, he would need a mid-grade Dharma rank jade bottle to ensure that the alchemist could use it whenever they wanted.

If one did not have this jade vase to hold the lowest grade of ingredients, then the pill refiners would only be able to use the flower dew to condense it when concoct the pill. This was only a simple bottle of Spirit Dew, although it sounded inconceivable, but in reality, there were many similar things in the cultivation world. Even if one waill refiner, or even a pill refiner, one would have a high status and would be on equal footing with the Daoist Ancestor.

It was similar to the talisman crafting materials that Yang Junshan and the others had found in the collapsed pavilion. Other than the talismans, the ten different kinds of talismans could barely be used to kill people, but the reason why the different kinds of talismans did not change was because they were all magic tools like the wooden barrel that was stored inside. According to the grade of the talisman, these things could all be considered magic tools.

Of course, these were all defined from the general definition, and amongst the spirit artifacts that Yang Junshan and the others had obtained, more than half of them were supporting tools like the two sealed spirit artifacts that they had found in the Artifact Forging Hall earlier on. One of the spirit artifacts that was given to Yang Junshan was an empty array disc, in fact, it was an array disc that had not been imprinted yet, so after the array patterns had been engraved, Yang Junshan could easily lay down a spirit array.

Of course, Magic Treasures, in a narrow sense, were items a cultivator would use to fight and defend themselves, demonstrating their strength. This was also the cultivation world’s bottom line used usually to define Magic Treasures, and the Magic Treasures used to fight and defend oneself were far more refined, more powerful, more difficult to refine, and fewer in number.

A very simple example: a magic rank jade bottle used to conserve spirit jade dew, as long as one could casually refine it witiece of jade that reached the magic rank, and seal it with a spirit pattern, it would be fine, but was also a magic treasure used to protect one’s body. When Ouyang Xulin refined the Mountain Monarch Seal, he had used over a dozen different materials, different combinations, proportions, the sequence of refining times, different control of fire, adding opportunities, and so on.

In addition to these three broken sets of artifact forging tools, there was also a large amount of medium-grade materials that were either piled up or scattered on the ground. The quality of these things were not high, but they were large in quantity.

Most of them were magic treasures, but there were also three to five types of refining methods for spirit rank treasures. According to the rules, everyone would need to make a copy of each of these inheritances, but these inheritances were more ordinary, and they also recorded the refining methods of specific treasures. Most of the Adept Chang Li and the Adept Qiyang did not choose to make a copy, so it was likely that there were similar inheritances in their sect.

After searching everything in the Artifact Forging Hall, the time to divide it up finally arrived. Everyone’s gaze turned to Yang Junshan, only to see Yang Junshan smiling as he said: “This time, please give this junior some face …”

Adept Chang Li’s expression did not change. He smiled and Spiritual Master Lin Canghai raised his eyebrows. Adept Qing Feng’s expression became slightly worried.

However, no matter how their expressions changed, or how deep their statuses were, they were certain that Yang Junshan wanted that half completed treasure. Something likreasure, even if it was a grandmaster level artificer, was at least 50% likely to look at human nature. As long as one was not a fool, one would know what the most precious thing was.

However, Yang Junshan’s final choice was beyond everyone’s expectations!

“Please give this junior some face and allow me to choose forty-nine of these broken equipment to complete this set.”
