I will use the ninja world to aid my cultivation of immortality.

Naraku stepped forward again to inspect the weapon, tidied up the newly discovered errors, and then continued refining the weapon.

One failure after another.

But Naraku never lost heart; instead, he became even more cautious and meticulous.

Chapter 42 Magic Weapon

"Success?"

It's possible that Naraku truly possesses a talent for weapon crafting, or perhaps the comprehension boost from the nameless technique also has an effect on weapon crafting.

After failing twice in a row, the process of refining the weapon for the third time went so smoothly that even Naraku himself was very surprised.

Once the materials are fused together and the required array patterns are successfully imprinted during the refining process, a black compass the size of a plate is quickly created inside the True Fire Cauldron.

Although Naraku was surprised that the third attempt at refining the weapon went smoothly, he quickly dispelled the True Fire Furnace and collected the finished compass as soon as the refining was completed.

"I really succeeded? I actually managed to create the Spirit Compass after only two failures?"

After carefully inspecting the black compass and finding no problems, Naraku was finally relieved, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

As the first magical artifact he had crafted on his path of cultivation, Naraku pondered the [Spirit Detection Compass] in his hand for quite some time.

Just like the realms of immortal cultivation, magical treasures also have levels.

Magical artifacts are classified into three levels: 'Heaven, Earth, and Man'.

Each level can be further divided into three grades: 'upper, middle, and lower'.

The Spirit Compass is the most basic low-grade human-level magic weapon.

Even so, the fact that he was able to forge the [Spirit Detection Compass] undoubtedly proves that Naraku has successfully stepped into the threshold of becoming a weapon refiner.

"Not necessarily. Maybe this success was just luck."

After working on the [Spirit Detection Compass] for a while, to make sure that he hadn't just stumbled upon good luck and succeeded in crafting it, Naraku immediately adjusted his mindset and started crafting the [Spirit Detection Compass] again.

Yes, there were failures, but there were far more successes.

When all the materials were used up, Naraku had crafted a total of ten [Spirit Detection Compasses].

Although the quantity of finished products was significantly less than the quantity of materials used, Naraku was certain, based on the description of weapon refiners in the "Immortal Path Manual," that he had indeed become a qualified weapon refiner.

"Weapon crafting seems quite interesting."

After finishing the refining process, Naraku stroked his chin and began to ponder.

Just like making money, you get motivated when you achieve something.

Naraku, having discovered his own exceptional talent in weapon crafting, felt he could further his studies in this field.

After all, a qualified cultivator must have magic weapons as standard equipment.

He didn't realize it while he was forging the weapon, but when he finished, Naraku discovered that a whole day had passed during the forging process.

Fortunately, the extraordinary restorative power brought by the nameless technique meant that Naraku did not feel any fatigue.

Leave the ninth floor and return to the office on the eighth floor.

Naraku immediately summoned the Third Hoshikage again.

He handed over the ten [Spirit Detection Compasses] he had crafted to the other party, asking them to select outstanding individuals from the village to search for spiritual herbs for him in various herbal medicine shops.

Just like Naraku would forge the [Spirit Detection Compass].

Although the [Spirit Detection Compass] is only a low-grade human-level magic weapon and not very useful in combat, it has the ability to sense spiritual herbs.

Within a 500-meter radius, the [Spirit Detection Compass] can sense any spiritual medicine that has not been sealed using special methods.

Having experience with Konoha's herbal medicine shops, Naraku naturally made herbal medicine shops in various places her primary targets for finding medicinal herbs.

Of course, ten [Spirit Detection Compasses] are far from enough.

Therefore, he also sent the Third Hoshikage out again to purchase the materials needed to refine the [Spirit Detection Compass].

Now that he is in charge of the finances of the entire Bear Kingdom, Naraku naturally faces less pressure in procuring materials for weapon forging.

The same applies to the Third Hoshikage.

Having witnessed the village's booming development, he became more compliant and attentive to the tasks assigned by Naraku.

That same day, the Third Hoshikage left Hoshigakure again with ample funds and manpower.

Another half month has passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past two weeks, Xingren Village has seen a continuous influx of people arriving.

This not only caused the population of Xingren Village to rapidly exceed five thousand.

The number of students at the Ninja Academy has reached two thousand.

With the population explosion, the entire Star Ninja Village undoubtedly became more lively and prosperous.

The construction team, led by wolves, was building new houses almost every day for the newcomers to live in.

Summer Star and Rain were busy with the affairs of the Ninja Academy.

Not to mention Nono.

As the actual manager, she needs to supervise and plan every step of the development of Xingren Village.

As for Naraku...

Although he handed over the development of the village to the people below, he himself did not have much free time.

Perhaps because the amount of materials to be purchased this time is larger, half a month has passed and the third generation of Star Shadow has still not returned.

However, Naraku did not stop what he was doing because of this.

In addition to his regular cultivation, he also devoted some of his energy to studying weapon crafting techniques.

Well, this energy mainly comes from the True Qi Shadow Clone.

It must be said that Tobirama Senju was indeed a genius.

The shadow clone technique he developed is really useful.

Now that it's in Naraku's hands, after generating True Qi Shadow Clones, it can be used not only for cultivation, but also for cultivating supernatural powers and refining weapons.

It can be said that as long as Naraku has sufficient true energy and endurance, he can multitask and make his various cultivations progress simultaneously.

Let's talk about the weapon-forging research we've done over the past two weeks.

Naraku really gained a lot.

On that day, he sent someone to the Ninja Academy.

A moment later, Summer Star arrived.

"My lord, I have brought 'Star' with me." Upon entering the office, Xia Rixing respectfully handed 'Star' to Naraku.

The practice of the "Peacock Mystic Method" requires a "star" as a medium.

Therefore, normally, the 'stars' are placed in the ninja academy for the students and star ninjas to train in.

The same applies to Natsumi Hoshi; she is also Naraku's guardian of 'Hoshi'.

After taking the 'star', Naraku glanced at it and then looked at Natsumi Hoshi across from him.

"Judging from your appearance, you've improved quite a bit in recent days!"

With his divine sense, Naraku easily noticed Xia Rixing's change and chuckled softly.

"You flatter me, sir. It is all thanks to your help. If you hadn't eliminated the side effects of 'Star' for us, we wouldn't have been able to fully utilize 'Star' to cultivate the 'Peacock Mystic Technique'," Xia Rixing said humbly, looking up at Naraku.

The 'star' is the medium for cultivating the 'Peacock Mystic Technique', but because the energy it emits is extremely corrosive, even during summer, one does not dare to excessively absorb the energy of the 'star' during cultivation.

But that's different now.

Without any worries, Xia Rixing and others can cultivate without any concerns.

In other words, it means that during cultivation, one can absorb the energy emitted by the 'star' to the maximum extent, thereby greatly improving cultivation efficiency.

Please read on! Please read on! Please read on! I can't stress this enough!

Chapter 43 The Metamorphosis of a Star

Even now, less than a month has passed, Xia Rixing, who was already exceptionally talented, has improved her strength considerably, just as Naraku said.

With Naraku's divine sense, he could tell that Natsumi Hoshi had completely caught up with the Third Hoshikage and had initially reached the level of a Jonin.

Naraku reminded him, "While the 'Peacock Technique' is excellent, just like how I arranged for Ameonna to teach ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu at the Ninja Academy, you can also allocate some time to learn it. This will enrich your combat methods."

Of the current members of Xingren Village, Xia Rixing is the most valuable and has the most potential.

Naraku naturally also intended to nurture the other party.

"Yes, I will arrange my time to study." Xia Rixing was slightly taken aback, but then immediately nodded in agreement.

She is not a slow learner; she can sense from many aspects that Naraku is intentionally nurturing her.

Like a ninja academy.

Naraku's decision to appoint her to this position undoubtedly demonstrates his high regard for her performance.
