God Weird Fairy

Chapter 438 Dual Treasures Combined
September 11th night, backyard of the Luo residence.

Nan Yi borrowed a "Bagua Purple Gold Furnace" from the Luo family.

This furnace has the eight trigrams engraved on its body, and each of the three feet at the bottom is inlaid with a spirit pearl the size of a pigeon egg, emitting a faint red light.

With this furnace, even cultivators at the Qi Cultivation stage can barely attempt to forge weapons.

Although Nan Yi could directly refine pills and weapons after borrowing the method from Pei Qingxue to condense the Guanghan Ice Flame, such a furnace is like a workbench with many practical function arrays, which can save the user a lot of effort. Therefore, Nan Yi naturally borrowed a "Bagua Purple Gold Furnace" to refine weapons.

He put the "Wish Fulfilling Brush" and the "Bamboo Incense" into the Purple Gold Furnace, and slowly refined each of them into two molten crystals that were neither fully melted nor fully molten, like star marrow flowing or crystals floating in a cold pool.

Then, Nan Yi fully activated "Dongzhen" to observe the rule runes that were faintly visible in the furnace of the two strange artifacts, searching for a point of entry where the rules matched.

The "Wish-Fulfilling Brush" can "draw illusory wishes," creating phantoms and spirits that will surely fulfill one's desires. It grants the owner's wishes, but the wish-fulfilling process must be continuous. One must hold the brush and wield it without stopping, and there is a risk that the wish will be distorted.

"Chengzhu Xiang" has the magical fragrance of "Chengzhu Xiang" and can grant wishes. However, it is important to note that "Chengzhu Xiang" has an end, so wishes must be limited to what is feasible.

Comparing the two, Nan Yi believes that "Chengzhuxiang" is more controllable.

Nan Yi then used "Chengzhuxiang" as a base, combined the two thick liquids into one place, and refined them together.

The "wish-granting pen," chosen as the offering, emitted a buzzing sound, as if in resistance.

Nan Yi remained calm, only making a hand seal with his fingers.

The "Eight Trigrams Purple Gold Furnace" immediately shone with golden light, and the eight trigram patterns flowed like living things.

Wherever Nan Yi's "Dongzhen" looked, runes fell, turning the buzzing sound of the "Yuanyuan Brush" into a wailing sound.

Finally, the two clumps of thick liquid merged into one, like yin and yang fish, and began to solidify.

Based on "Bamboo Fragrance", taking the mysterious "fragrance of bamboo" as its core, it is naturally shaped like "Yuanyuan Pen", which is in harmony with yin and yang.

The newly formed magical artifact first solidified from the bottom, transforming into a section of a writing brush tip; then, it took the shape of green bamboo to form the brush handle; and the incense stick of "Bamboo Incense" transformed into the brush core, merging into the brush.

The runes flowed and shone, eventually fading away and leaving transparent patterns like bamboo leaves on the brush.

Normally, you can vaguely see the amount of ink in the pen by looking through the texture.

Nan Yi examined it for a moment.

Its wonder can be described as "using dreams as a pen," and all the things described can come true, but there is also the calamity of "sacrificing oneself to continue the dream."

Similar to "Chengzhu Xiang", fulfilling a dream requires consuming pen refills; when left unused, the pen refills will slowly replenish; however, if the pen refills are exhausted and the dream is still not fulfilled, it will continuously drain the owner's lifespan to maintain its mystical power until the dream comes true.

After thinking for a moment, Nan Yi named this brand-new mysterious artifact "Dream Play Brush".

The "Dream Play Brush" is still a high-grade Yellow-rank artifact.

Trying to upgrade a Yellow-rank artifact to the Profound-rank through combined crafting is no easy task and should not be considered lightly.

However, even among the top-grade Yellow Rank, there are differences in quality.

After combining the two top-grade Yellow-rank artifacts, "Bamboo Incense" and "Wish Fulfillment Brush," into one, its wondrous and mysterious power far surpasses that of the past.

Originally, whether it's "Bamboo Incense" or "Wish-Fulfilling Pen", their wish goals are all directed at one thing, and then a corresponding action is generated around the realization of that wish.

"Dream Play" means that one's wishes and goals are no longer limited to one thing; multiple things can be combined to form a story, or a play.

While offering greater operational flexibility, the "Dream Play Brush" also consumes its lead more slowly than the "Bamboo Incense" incense stick. Nan Yi nodded with satisfaction, took out the "Dream Play Brush," and put it aside.

Then, he took out the "Heavenly Sword", the "Lingfeng Sword" and the "Treasure Burial Blade" in turn.

The "Heavenly Sword" was created by Yan Qingyun using his "spirit" talent to awaken the Daoist essence and transform the Martial Virtue Token into a Daoist artifact.

Its wondrous manifestations are also in line with the innate talent of "spirit and will".

A sword in its sheath can store up its power; it may remain silent until it strikes, then it will astound the world.

With the heavens as its blade, all things are cut down; to contend with the heavens for destiny, one will fight to the death.

However, for the time being, the "All-Slash" of the "Heavenly Sword" is so wondrous that it can only guarantee a hit, and cannot be dodged.

As for the severity of damage after a successful strike, there is still a lot of room for improvement.

However, the purpose of combining the "Lingfeng Sword" and the "Zangbao Blade" into the "Yitian Sword" is to enhance its mystique and increase its damage.

"Lingfeng" is wondrous; as long as one's sword heart is clear and one's fighting spirit is pure, one can ignore defensive spells of the same level.

The "Burial Treasure" is wondrous, capable of sealing the mysteries of other artifacts.

Because the "Burial Treasure Blade" is of a higher rank, being a low-grade Xuan-level weapon, Nan Yi started by combining and refining the "Lingfeng Sword".

However, the methods for combining and refining treasures for offensive purposes are different.

Like "Bamboo Incense" and "Wish-Fulfilling Brush," they are similar in their mysteries. The method of combining them is actually the method of Yin and Yang fusion, seeking common ground while reserving differences, so that the rules can be completed and increased. It is only necessary to distinguish between primary and secondary, and between the superficial and the essential.

However, the treasure of conquest, in its imagery, emphasizes unwavering advance, and it can no longer employ the yin-yang fusion method of seeking common ground while reserving differences. Instead, it must use the method of plundering and assimilating the strong and devouring the weak.

Nan Yi threw the "Yitian Sword" and the "Lingfeng Sword" into the furnace together, activated the "Bagua Purple Gold Furnace", restrained them with a magic array, and then used the Guanghan Ice Flame to refine them to a molten crystal state. He then urged the two swords to unleash their spiritual light and compete with each other in terms of energy.

With Nan Yi's heart and energy poured into it, the "Yitian Sword" suppressed the "Lingfeng Sword" inch by inch, forcing all its spiritual light into the sword body, compelling it to manifest its wondrous rules, and then washing away, devouring, digesting and absorbing it.

This kind of combined refinement generally does not change the original wonder of the artifact, but only enhances its wonder intensity.

Following the steps without much effort, Nan Yi successfully combined the "Lingfeng Sword" into the "Yitian Sword".

But when it comes to the "Burial Treasure Blade," a low-grade Xuan-level weapon, things are not so simple.

The "Burial Treasure Blade" was suspended in the furnace, completely unaffected by the Guanghan Ice Flame, and did not exhibit any molten crystal state.

In the art of weapon crafting, extreme fire is the lowest level, controlling power is the middle level, and awakening spirit is the highest level.

The Guanghan Ice Flame possesses the power to transform spiritual essence, directly commanding the object being refined to transform into a molten crystal state, facilitating shaping and tempering, and even manifesting wondrous forms. Therefore, although it is an ice flame, it is also extremely suitable for refining weapons.

Even if it were suitable, it would be absolutely impossible to use the high-grade Yellow-rank Guanghan Ice Flame to forge the low-grade Profound-rank "Burial Treasure Blade".

However, the wondrous "merit and fame sharing" of the "Emperor's Sword" is also manifested in the fact that when it is blessed by borrowed magic, it can make the borrowed magic possess the rank of the "Emperor's Sword" itself.

Nan Yi borrowed the power of the Guanghan Ice Flame from the "Emperor's Sword" and further activated its divine power, making the Guanghan Ice Flame a pseudo-Xuan-rank low-grade flame. Finally, he was able to break through the rank suppression and begin to forge the "Burial Treasure Blade".

Thus, the spirit of the Xuan-rank artifact "Burial Treasure Blade" finally stopped feigning death, emitting a resounding sound, and attempted to communicate with Nan Yi.
