Chapter 839 - 836: Defying the Innate
Lu Ren secretly admired in his heart. Although the Witchcraft Path in the system blends various cultivation systems, its highest level only reaches the extreme of the Witch God. To achieve the Golden Immortal is incredibly difficult.
Even with the system skill level, the evolution of this life level requires a massive amount of experience to accumulate.
He wanted to see the new skills in this Border City, and the mysterious insights of the Profound Immortal between Celestial Immortal and Golden Immortal. If he could gain Huang Yaying's Body Refining True Method, it would be of immense benefit.
Thinking of this, Lu Ren worked harder on pulling the bellows as a laborer.
Huang Yaying took out a stone glimmering with moonlight and cautiously tossed it into the stone furnace, murmuring: "Please, Fire God, assist me!"
The Fire God did not respond, only surrounded by flames growing larger. With Lu Ren pulling the bellows to intensify the wind, in less than four hours, the stone shimmering with moonlight gradually melted into a mercury-like flowing liquid.
"Good, good!" Huang Yaying happily exclaimed, "Lu Ren, with your assistance, my artifact refining speed has increased by at least 30%. I thought it would take a day to melt the Moon Wheel and didn't expect it to only take four hours to liquefy."
Speaking, Huang Yaying mixed various metals, stones, and even unknown herbs, revealing a silver moon brilliance, shimmering beautifully.
She carefully led the metal liquid out of the stone furnace and placed it into a mold embedded in the furnace to shape the form.
Possibly due to the shortened refining time, Huang Yaying was delighted to explain, "Ordinary Acquired Taoism Artefact crafting isn't this complex. You only need to guide with spells, combine Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi with personal True Power, and solidify with Primordial Spirit Power. But crafting Innate Spiritual Treasure-level artifacts is highly intricate.
It can only be handled with the most primitive method, like common people, by hammering, ritual refining, imprinting arrays, injecting legal principles, then finding that one slight chance of Innate reversal in the world, using this means to create Innate Spiritual Treasures."
Huang Yaying narrated at length, while Lu Ren, aware of these ideas, saw her using peculiar cold ice to cool the Moon Wheel core and asked in his spare time: "Does this mean that a middle-tier armament master can craft Innate Spiritual Treasures?"
Huang Yaying glanced at Lu Ren, snorted gently, clearly looking like a country bumpkin, straightforwardly saying, "Only where you're from do they regard Innate Spiritual Treasures as treasures. In this Border City, Innate things aren't common, but not a rarity either."
Lu Ren understood and asked no more questions. ππ£πππ ππππ¨π―ππ.ππ¨π
Huang Yaying, after sitting cross-legged and restoring more than half of her physical strength, then opened the mold and extracted the shaped Moon Wheel, taking a large hammer to begin hammering the Moon Wheel, allowing Lu Ren to idle, stop pulling the bellows, and attentively observe her hammering refinement of the Moon Wheel.
After hammering for billions of times, the Moon Wheel gradually shaped in Huang Yaying's hands, her body's green veins bulging, eyes slightly bloodshot, yet still maintaining a high frequency of hammering, while array marks revealed before her, integrating into the constantly hammered Moon Wheel.
A month later, once completely refining the Moon Wheel to shape, Huang Yaying exhaled, showing satisfaction, and said.
"This Innate Spiritual Treasure isn't like crafting Acquired objects, where you can rest. Many movements need to be completed in one breath. Even a single mistake will render all previous efforts futile. The billions of hammerings needed, if the strength or landing position has any slight error, this treasure would immediately be wasted."
Huang Yaying couldn't help but complain at this point.
"Back when I graduated, I ruined someone's request to craft an Innate Spiritual Treasure, costing me most of my savings at the time!"
Lu Ren was speechless, as in his understanding, Innate Spiritual Treasures were created by the universe. If they undergo Acquired shaping and refining, can they really be called Innate Spiritual Treasures?
Furthermore, the Moon Wheel that Huang Yaying held, despite being endowed with numerous array marks and dharma seals, exuding a magnificent aura, Lu Ren clearly sensed its rank was still half a step away from being an Innate Spiritual Treasure.
The Initial Tier Artifact Refining True Skill did not explain this, and although Lu Ren had questions, he said nothing more, feeling it was beyond his reach.
Time was still abundant; he could familiarize himself and inquire later.
"This is the most crucial step."
Huang Yaying carefully took out a small crystal the size of a fingernail.
"This is the key to achieving Innate Spiritual Treasure reversal."
"What is this?"
"This is the most precious inheritance of our Military Path, the embodiment of universal legal principles. Only by integrating this can something truly be called an Innate Spiritual Treasure!"
The fingernail-sized crystal looked like ordinary transparent crystals, but inside, various strange light streams swirled.
Others thought it beautiful yet detected nothing unusual.
Seeing Huang Yaying place this crystal on the Moon Wheel, it melted upon contact, silently integrating into the Moon Wheel.
After a single breath, the Moon Wheel slightly trembled.
Buzz!
Circular silver halos like ripples spread, then dissipated invisibly in the air.
Lu Ren's expression subtly shifted, realizing these halos didn't dissipate but linked to somewhere in the heavens, connecting fine strands of certain legal principles.
The connected legal principles also responded to these rings' calls, feeding back into the Moon Wheel, gradually elevating, refining, metamorphosing, and evolving it.
Lu Ren clearly saw this seemingly half-step Moon Wheel, under the assistance of this legal principle crystal, connect particular legal principles, truly engaging in the reverse Innate process.
"At this point, the crafting steps for this Innate Spiritual Treasure are complete. Next is quietly waiting for the Moon Wheel's transformation. Once it completes the evolution and elevation, this Innate Spiritual Treasure can be finalized."
Huang Yaying rubbed her hands, scrutinized the specially created Artifact Refining Space, cast several spells, slightly adjusted this space so that the Moon Wheel's connection to certain legal principles strengthened, and finally stopped in satisfaction.
"It'll likely take only four or five years for this Moon Wheel to be finalized."
With Huang Yaying announcing the crafting's completion, Lu Ren spent a full six months in this Artifact Refining Space.
Looking at over a hundred spirit crystals in his hand, with their rather inferior quality, recalling Huang Yaying's face boasting "you made a fortune", simultaneously looking at the middle-tier Artifact Refining True Skill's refining spell in his hand, Lu Ren endured it.
He directly left the Military Path, ignoring Huang Yaying's resentment and calls to increase payment, walking away without looking back.
