Bringing the farm to another world

Chapter 15856 Custom-Made Magical Artifacts
"The matter of the Five Ghosts Sect has been resolved." Elder Wu said to Bai Yan. He had come to report to Bai Yan. It was the Five Ghosts Sect who reported the incident to them. After hearing about the incident, Bai Yan immediately sent Elder Wu and his team there, because Elder Wu and his team were originally there to deal with the Five Ghosts Sect.

After listening to Elder Wu's report, Bai Yan nodded and said, "Thank you for your hard work. Our method this time is indeed feasible, but if a sect has a kingdom-level expert in charge, there will be some trouble. When the runes are far away, those kingdom-level experts can't sense them, but once they get close, they can sense them. Today, our necromancy runes have been discovered by several kingdom-level experts. Fortunately, we had made contingency plans in advance, so nothing bad happened."

Upon hearing Bai Yan's words, Elder Wu frowned and said, "If that's really the case, then shouldn't we be extra careful when dealing with other sects?"

Bai Yan said in a deep voice, "We do need to be careful, but fortunately things are under control. There's nothing we can do about it. The necromancer runes we released couldn't possibly have no energy fluctuations at all. And kingdom-level experts are too sensitive to energy fluctuations, so it's easy for them to detect the runes. Fortunately, no one else can detect those runes, otherwise our plan would not be able to proceed."

Elder Wu nodded, and Bai Yan also spoke up, "You should all go back and rest. We'll attack the other sects in a few days." Elder Wu responded and was about to leave when Bai Yan suddenly said, "By the way, Elder Wu, do you usually use the Netherworld Banner?"

Elder Wu was taken aback, then nodded and said, "That's true. However, the Netherworld Banner consumes too much energy. I also found it a bit difficult to use. But using the Netherworld Banner in battle is indeed a great help to me."

Bai Yan nodded after hearing Elder Wu's words and said, "Alright, I understand. It seems we really overlooked this issue before. We thought that if we equipped everyone in the sect with the Lesser Thousand Star, we wouldn't need any other magical artifacts. But magical artifacts like the Netherworld Banner cannot be transformed from the Thousand Star. We need to rethink the crafting of these magical artifacts."

Upon hearing Bai Yan's words, Elder Wu quickly replied, "Isn't this unnecessary? I'm perfectly fine with the Netherworld Banner I have now." The Netherworld Banner was originally a large magical artifact of the Hell Gate, and its power was considerable. After the Hell Gate merged into the Blood Slaughter Sect, the people of the Hell Gate no longer valued the Netherworld Banner, so Elder Wu had been using it all along, and he was quite comfortable with it.

Bai Yan smiled and said, "This is not just your business, but concerns the entire sect. How about this, Elder Wu, lend me the Netherworld Banner for a few days. I'll have someone send it to the Divine Mechanism Hall so they can study it carefully and see if it can help promote the reform of the sect's magical artifacts."

Elder Wu was taken aback, then looked at Bai Yan with some surprise and said, "Reform of magical artifacts? Is it that serious?"

He chuckled and said, "Of course this is very serious. Haven't you noticed? Many kingdom-level experts, and even royal city-level experts in the sect, don't actually have any magic weapons that they're comfortable using. Although the Little Thousand Machine Star can transform into all sorts of magic weapons, the magic arrays inside ordinary magic weapons are still difficult for most people to understand. So, many people's magic weapons aren't actually easy for them to use, which affects their combat power. If we could customize a magic weapon that suits everyone in the sect, it would greatly enhance everyone's combat power."

Elder Wu exclaimed in surprise, "Custom-make a magic artifact for everyone? Elder Bai, are you kidding me? How many people are there in the sect now? It's almost over 300 billion, isn't it? If so many people are given a magic artifact each, wouldn't the people in the Divine Mechanism Hall be overwhelmed?"

Bai Yan smiled and said, "That's not how it is. I wanted the people from Shenji Hall to think of a way to see if they could improve the method of refining magic weapons so that everyone can create magic weapons that suit their own situation. In short, this is something that the people from Shenji Hall should worry about, not us. You don't need to worry about it. Just lend me the Netherworld Banner for a few days."

Elder Wu quickly responded, and then he took out the Netherworld Banner. To put it simply, the Netherworld Banner was just a piece of cloth, a very long piece of black cloth. It didn't look special at first glance, but the black color was very pure. Moreover, as soon as this black cloth was taken out, it immediately gave people a cold feeling. Everyone who saw this black cloth would subconsciously frown. This cloth always gave people a very ominous feeling.

Bai Yan didn't care. He accepted the Netherworld Banner and then let Elder Wu and the others leave. After Elder Wu and the others left, Bai Yan turned his attention to the situation of the other sects. Just as Bai Yan said, some of those sects had kingdom-level experts in charge, while others did not. In all the sects with kingdom-level experts in charge, the necromancy runes were eventually discovered by the kingdom-level experts, but those below the kingdom level were completely wiped out. As for the sects without kingdom-level experts in charge, needless to say, the entire sect was quickly taken down without any commotion.

Even though they were discovered by those kingdom-level experts, it didn't matter. The Blood Slaughter Sect was prepared and immediately dispatched kingdom-level experts to deal with them. So, although there were some twists and turns in this operation, the final result was very good.

After resolving the issues with all twenty-three sects and handling the follow-up matters, Byakugan finally breathed a sigh of relief. He planned to let everyone rest for two days before attacking other sects. After settling everything, Byakugan took the Netherworld Banner to the Divine Mechanism Hall and went directly to Wen Yuming.

Wen Yuming was busy, but as soon as he heard that Bai Yan had arrived, he let Bai Yan into his office. His office wasn't very big; it was just a place for him to handle some documents. He spent a lot of time in his laboratory, so his office didn't need to be too big.

Hearing this, Ming rolled his eyes and sat down, then said, "What brings you here? Is there something you need?"

The two were old friends, so there was no need for formalities. Bai Yan didn't say anything and simply took out the Netherworld Banner and handed it to Wen Yuming.

Wen Yuming took the Netherworld Banner with some confusion, glanced at it, and then looked up at Bai Yan, saying, "Isn't this the Netherworld Banner? What are you showing me?"

He rolled his eyes and said, "This is of course the Netherworld Banner. I wanted to ask you if we can refine such a magical artifact?"

Wen Yuming nodded and said, "Of course, that's no problem. However, the vengeful spirit inside is indeed difficult to deal with. Our sect doesn't have any vengeful spirits. We can use the souls of some animals as substitutes, but that might affect the combat power of the Netherworld Banner. Of course, if we replace the vengeful spirit with something else, that's also possible. However, in that case, the method of controlling the Netherworld Banner might have to change, and I'm afraid they won't be used to it."

Bai Yan said in a deep voice, "Do we still have no way to solve the problem of vengeful ghosts? Can't we cultivate some vengeful ghosts ourselves?"

Upon hearing Bai Yan's words, Wen Yuming was taken aback and then fell into deep thought. After a while, he finally spoke up: "This doesn't seem impossible. We don't lack soul fire, which is just an incomplete soul. But in fact, vengeful ghosts are not complete souls either. They are incomplete souls manipulated by obsession. If we look at it from this point of view, it seems that vengeful ghosts can be created. If we can really create vengeful ghosts ourselves, then we can refine many of the magical artifacts of the demonic sects. This is indeed a good idea."

Bai Yan already knew Wen Yuming's habits, so when he saw Wen Yuming's current state, he knew that Wen Yuming couldn't wait to go and experiment. He quickly said, "Old Wen, wait a minute, don't rush to experiment. I have something else to tell you."

Wen Yuming looked at Bai Yan with some confusion and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Bai Yan said, "I noticed the Netherworld Banner because Elder Wu used it against an enemy today, and it was very effective. He easily subdued a kingdom-level expert from the Five Ghosts Sect. Through this incident, I also realized how important a good magic weapon is for a cultivator. A suitable magic weapon can really enhance a cultivator's combat power. However, none of our sect's disciples currently have suitable magic weapons. Although we have Blood Gold, which can freely transform, some disciples' magic weapons don't need to transform. They are used to using a certain magic weapon and won't let their magic weapons easily transform. In this case, the transformation ability of Blood Gold becomes useless. And because those disciples are not very familiar with magic arrays, they can't create the most suitable magic weapon for themselves, which actually affects their combat power. Can you think of a way to allow those disciples to create suitable magic weapons without refining them? What do you think? Can you do it?"

Upon hearing Bai Yan's words, Wen Yuming was taken aback at first, but then his eyes lit up, and he said, "That is indeed a good idea. We really hadn't thought about this problem before. We thought that with Blood Gold, our sect's disciples would no longer need other magic artifacts, especially after having Thousand Machine Star and Spirit Silk, we would no longer need magic artifacts. We really didn't expect it to be like this. Well, it's not impossible, but many things need to be redesigned."

He had only asked tentatively, but he was surprised that Wen Yuming actually said he could do it. He looked at Wen Yuming and asked, "Old Wen, can you really do this?"

Wen Yuming nodded and said, "Actually, it's not that difficult. We can design software that contains basic magic array sets for various magical artifacts. Then, we can add other magical artifacts that are compatible with this artifact. For example, for a knife, the most basic magic artifact set usually includes magic arrays for sharpness and toughness. After determining these, we can add other magic arrays, such as fire-attribute magic arrays or water-attribute magic arrays. Depending on your cultivation method and attributes, you can choose the magic arrays you need. That's all."
