I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 64 Magic Weapon
Jemin eagerly retrieved the prototype of the "Eye of Reconnaissance" from the storage box, along with some rare materials he had prepared earlier for improving the rune artifact.

With the support of new spiritual power and true essence, Jemin's grasp of the characteristics and details of runes and materials became more precise.

He modified the structure of the runes, adjusted the flow of energy, and incorporated some more refined runes into them.

After being refined and reshaped, the originally rough transparent crystal became even more dazzling, and the runes inside seemed to come alive, emitting a faint and restrained light.

The appearance hasn't changed much; it still has that crystal eyeball shape, but it looks even more perfect.

“That should do it.” Jemin hovered the new prototype of the “Eye of Reconnaissance” in the air.

After closing the laboratory's protective barrier, Jemin activated the seal and connected his mind to it.

He walked to the laboratory door, silently placed the Eye of Detection on the top of the door frame, and then returned to his seat.

This time, the perceived information was no longer a vague and scattered fluctuation.

The Eye of Detection seemed to have truly become an eye, projecting the scene within a radius of hundreds of meters into Jemin's consciousness in a peculiar way.

He could clearly "see" the figures of the apprentices in the corridor, sense the fluctuations of life force within them, and even distinguish the faint energy emanating from the magical artifacts they wore.

Moreover, this perception is continuous, like being connected to a surveillance camera. As long as the eye of reconnaissance is not damaged, it can continuously transmit information, while the mental energy he consumes is negligible, merely the extremely low consumption required to maintain the soul connection.

Of course, the prototype still has shortcomings.

Its perception range is still limited, unable to penetrate thick walls or powerful barriers.

In complex environments, such as battlefields filled with energy interference like the Limestone Boundary, the perception effect may be greatly reduced.

Moreover, it can only sense passively and does not have the ability to actively scan or track.

“There’s still a lot of room for improvement.” Jemin looked at the Eye of Reconnaissance floating in the air, his eyes filled with enthusiasm.

In terms of effectiveness, this reconnaissance eye is now even less effective than the range of his actively released alchemy and analysis spells.

However, now that the initial prototype has been completed, all that's left is to continue optimizing it along this line of thought.

Jemin did not continue the experiment. He put the Eye of Detection back on the experimental table and excitedly focused his attention on the depths of his consciousness.

Now, the research on reconnaissance-type talismanic artifacts has a clear direction, and his cultivation level has reached the late stage of Qi Refining.

This means he can begin working on his next, and most important, project.

That is—weapon forging!
It's time to start forging his first magical artifact!

Late stage of Qi Refining.

According to the records of the cultivation method, cultivators at this stage have accumulated enough true essence and their divine sense is sufficient to carry out more complex tasks, so they can begin to learn some auxiliary skills that require higher cultivation levels.

The most important of these is weapon crafting.

Although ordinary cultivators can also refine some small items through various means, there is only one result that can be properly called weapon refining, and that is a "magic weapon".

Magical artifacts are a unique concept in the cultivation system. They are not merely powerful objects, but also manifestations of a cultivator's "Dao," natal objects connected to their mind and spirit, capable of accompanying a cultivator's growth, and even possessing incredible power.

This is fundamentally different from wizard artifacts or even small items crafted by other cultivators—wizard artifacts and talismans rely more on external energy and intricate structures. Their power depends primarily on the materials, runes, structure, and the level of energy infused into them, and their connection to the user is relatively indirect.

Magical artifacts require cultivators to integrate their own true essence, divine sense, and even a trace of their divine soul into them. They must use their own true fire to temper the spirituality of the materials, and use their divine sense to inscribe an array containing the corresponding "Dao." Ultimately, they must refine a natal artifact that is in harmony with their own aura, can be controlled at will, and can even grow together with their cultivation level.

To put it simply, crafting is not just a skill, but also a process of materializing one's understanding of the Dao and the rules of heaven and earth into powerful artifacts.

This concept of imprinting oneself onto objects, giving them "spirituality" and "growth potential," is something that ordinary objects do not possess.

For Jemin, in addition to improving his combat power, the most important thing about crafting magical artifacts is that they can make up for the shortcomings of his existing combat system.

With his talismanic artifacts, he was not lacking in offensive tactics.

The reason he planned to refine the artifact was that he valued the "spirituality" of the artifact itself the most.

The reason why Jemin skipped the creation of the intelligent auxiliary machine and prioritized the production of the reconnaissance-type talismanic artifact was because of this idea—he intended to use the magical artifact, which initially possessed spirituality, as an intelligent terminal to help him process information.

Spirituality is not a unique attribute of magical artifacts. After all, high-level magical artifacts or runic artificial intelligence not only possess spirituality, but can even develop "intelligence" under the right conditions.

However, at this stage, only magical artifacts can imbue objects with spirituality.

With his mind sinking into the depths of his consciousness, Jieming began to select from the various methods of crafting magical artifacts provided by the Great Dao Library.

Considering the differences between the wizarding world and the cultivation world, Jemin's requirements for magical artifacts are also quite stringent.

First, the cultivation level required for manufacturing cannot be too high, and then there are restrictions on the crafting of tools—after all, some furnaces and cauldrons specifically for refining tools can only be manufactured at the Golden Core stage.

Therefore, the only option is to choose a magical artifact that can be crafted using the most primitive methods.

Considering that there is no spiritual energy in the wizarding world, magical artifacts should be kept as dependent on spiritual energy as possible.

In this way, those magical artifacts that excel at direct attacks were almost completely eliminated, but fortunately, Jemin was not lacking in offensive methods.

Considering the differences in materials, magical artifacts that require precious materials or special substances to manufacture are also directly ignored.

Fortunately, because the cultivation civilization has evolved the ability to extract concepts, the limitations in terms of materials are not too great.

Because this magical artifact is mainly used as an intelligent terminal to assist in processing information, the spirituality generated after its creation must be strong enough.

On the other hand, this magic weapon should ideally compensate for the shortcomings of one's existing combat system, and it would be even better if it could save one's life.

……

After filtering through all the various requirements, even Jieming felt that he might have gone a bit too far, but the Great Dao Book Pavilion still gave him a massive selection.

After spending several days sifting through the depths of his consciousness, Jieming finally found his ideal target among the vast sea of ​​magical artifact creation diagrams.

The magic treasure—the Rainbow Mirror of the Five Aggregates!
