I am really not a medical immortal.-Chapter 1468 - 1467: Artifact Refining Section (Sixth Update)

Chapter 1468: Chapter 1467: Artifact Refining Section (Sixth Update)

A quarter of an hour later.

Zhang Xiaohao stood up from the ground, took off his clothes, and jumped into the river for a cold bath.

He put on a coarse cloth garment and sat down by the shore.

With a flick of his hand, he took out some food and began to eat.

A while later, Zhang Xiaohao was full.

With a flick of his hand, he took out the remaining half of the Xuan Dog Puppet, the storage bag of Teng Muci, and Ye Wufa’s Magic Artifact Gold Brick.

Putting aside the half of the Xuan Dog Puppet and the low-grade Magic Artifact Gold Brick, Zhang Xiaohao picked up Teng Muci’s storage bag, swept over it with his Divine Thought, and began to refine it using hand seals.

An hour passed.

"Phew!" Zhang Xiaohao exhaled a breath of foul air.

"The person is already dead, but I didn’t expect his storage bag to be so difficult to refine!"

He certainly didn’t know that in the Spirit Realm, even if the owner died, a storage bag could only be refined by overwhelming cultivation or specific refining techniques; otherwise, attempting to forcefully refine it by brute strength would bring significant trouble.

It was only because Zhang Xiaohao cultivated the Three Pure Ones Scripture focused on divine refinement that he managed. If it were any other cultivator at Qi Cultivation Perfection without refining techniques, it would take at least a day or even longer.

With a thought, Zhang Xiaohao’s Divine Thought entered the storage bag.

"Hmm? There’s actually fifty cubic feet, the space is huge!" Zhang Xiaohao exclaimed softly.

His Divine Thought began to search within the storage bag.

A moment later, Zhang Xiaohao grasped the storage bag and started to pour its contents onto the ground, piling up to over a meter high.

There were dozens of new luxurious silk garments and matching black gold boots, all unworn.

Dozens of bottles of elixirs for the Qi Refinement Realm, more than a thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, and additionally, a Spirit Boat and a Magic Artifact flying sword.

As for the other items, they were mostly ores used for artifact refining.

"Not bad! The harvest is quite acceptable! My efforts were worth it." Zhang Xiaohao nodded in satisfaction.

He put away all the items except for one set of luxurious silk garment and a pair of black gold boots, as well as the several bottles of elixirs.

Swish!

Zhang Xiaohao tossed the silk garment and black gold boots into the air, quickly changing into them.

When he appeared again, he was already dressed in a set of silk garments embroidered with a black python and black gold boots.

"Hmm, nice! The size fits perfectly." Zhang Xiaohao nodded contentedly.

He opened the several bottles of elixirs on the ground one by one, and after a dozen seconds, based on experience, he discerned that the elixirs were for Qi Refinement Realm cultivation, even useful for Qi Cultivation Perfection!

"No wonder he’s the darling son of Qingyuan Town’s mayor, he carries quite a few treasures!" Zhang Xiaohao remarked.

With a wave of his hand, he put away the bottles of elixirs, and focused on the half of the Xuan Dog Puppet and the Gold Brick Magic Artifact. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"My methods for dealing with enemies are still somewhat lacking! It’s just as well to refine this low-grade Magic Artifact before they come chasing after me!" Zhang Xiaohao said.

Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohao grasped the Gold Brick Magic Artifact and began to refine it with a sweep of his Divine Thought.

Two hours flashed by.

Zhang Xiaohao finished the refinement, yet merely a tenth of the Gold Brick Magic Artifact had been completed. If continued at this pace, refining it would take at least one or two days.

Previously, Zhang Xiaohao might have had time to slowly wait it out, but now he was being hunted. If his pursuers arrived and caught him off guard, that would be disastrous.

"Why is this happening? It shouldn’t be like this! Could it be that my method is incorrect?" Zhang Xiaohao thought skeptically.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in Zhang Xiaohao’s mind. He slapped his forehead with his right hand and thought, "How could I have forgotten this?"

The Three Pure Ones Scripture is all-encompassing, with various miscellaneous Chapters on artifact refining, alchemy, beast taming, divination, formations, and more. Yet he sat atop a mountain of treasures, forgetting to utilize them.

Immediately, Zhang Xiaohao summoned the contents of the Three Pure Ones Scripture into his mental sea.

He turned to the artifact refining Chapter and carefully studied it.

The artifact refining Chapter is divided into three sections; the first concerns methods of refining Magic Artifacts. As for the other two sections, they are shrouded in white fog, beyond Zhang Xiaohao’s current cultivation to see.

Even the first section contains all sorts of methods from low-grade Magic Artifacts to supreme Magic Artifacts, totaling one hundred and eight methods with only one set of core hand seals accompanying them.

According to the introduction, refining a low-grade Magic Artifact requires imprinting three restrictions; a mid-grade Magic Artifact requires six restrictions; and a high-grade Magic Artifact requires nine restrictions. The legendary supreme Magic Artifact requires twelve restrictions!

The introduction explains that above supreme Magic Artifacts, between them and true Artifacts, there is something called pseudo-Artifacts requiring thirteen restrictions.

After reading the introduction to the artifact refining Chapter, Zhang Xiaohao’s mind was shaken.

"Who would’ve thought artifact refining could be so profound! It has so many intricacies. Without the Three Pure Ones Scripture, I’d have no choice but the crudest method! But now, with the hand seals from the artifact refining Chapter aiding me, refining it will take but a quarter hour—or perhaps even less!" Zhang Xiaohao said confidently.

Without further delay, he grabbed the Gold Brick Magic Artifact and began refining it.

As Zhang Xiaohao’s hand seals changed, imprint techniques continuously shot out from his hand into the low-grade Gold Brick Magic Artifact.

As time passed, the Gold Brick Magic Artifact gradually connected with Zhang Xiaohao’s mind.

A quarter hour later.

"Rise!" Zhang Xiaohao pointed with one hand, channeling Spiritual Power into the low-grade Gold Brick Magic Artifact.

Buzz!

The Gold Brick Magic Artifact swirled and expanded to four meters in size, smashing heavily onto the river’s surface.

Boom!

The river water rolled back, forcibly creating a massive whirlpool that persisted for quite a while before dissipating.

"Return!" Zhang Xiaohao beckoned, recalling the Gold Brick Magic Artifact with one hand.

"Not bad! I didn’t expect this Gold Brick Magic Artifact to have five restrictions, making it top-tier among low-grade Magic Artifacts!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded in satisfaction.

He put away the Gold Brick Magic Artifact and took out the Spirit Boat and flying sword Magic Artifact, casting hand seals to refine them.

To refine a Magic Artifact, one must control its restrictions, imprint one’s mark inside, and then manipulate it flexibly to maximize its power during magical combat.
