Battle Through the Heavens: Inward Cultivation, Crying Xiao Yan

The true forging of magical artifacts requires strict proportions.

The quantity of each metal affects the quality of the artifact.

Besides, most artifact masters do not possess different types of fire.

They use soul flames!

This kind of flame is much easier to control than Xiao Yang's strange fire.

Moreover, when forging magical artifacts, one can constantly sense the state of the metal.

Finally, there are the engraved patterns.

Although the artifact patterns are much simpler than those of a spirit array master.

However, it is still very complicated.

The artifact patterns required for the puppet were relatively simple; otherwise, Xiao Yang would not have been able to succeed on his first attempt.

Like alchemists, spirit weapon masters need to spend a lot of resources to practice before they can become true spirit weapon masters.

Xiao Yang casually put the puppet into his storage ring.

Then, he took out several scrolls directly from the system space.

The first book he read was "The Fundamentals of Spirit Weapon Master".

This is the most crucial thing.

There is no true lineage of spirit weapon masters on the Douqi Continent after all.

Therefore, it was impossible for Xiao Yang to access the knowledge of a spirit weapon master.

If he wants to become a spirit weapon master, he must start from the basics.

He placed the scroll against his forehead, channeling his spiritual power into it.

To become a weapon refiner, two basic requirements must be met.

First, one needs to successfully condense the Soul Flame when one reaches the Great Battle Master level.

Secondly, one must possess a level of mental strength, or soul strength, far exceeding that of ordinary people.

In the vast world, one can also cultivate techniques to enhance one's spiritual power.

However, there are hardly any soul cultivation techniques left to be passed down on the Douqi Continent.

Even if they exist, they are usually controlled by a few powerful individuals.

Xiao Yang basically meets both of these criteria.

As for the Soul Fire, Xiao Yang simply didn't know how to condense it.

However, his soul power is definitely up to standard.

The process of forging magical artifacts is quite troublesome.

The biggest challenge is that the artifact's design needs to be engraved inside.

A spirit weapon master is actually a master who focuses on integrating arrays into the forging of spirit weapons.

This is also the biggest difference between a spirit weapon master and a spirit array master.

Spirit array masters, on the other hand, directly use array patterns to fight against people.

The Fundamentals of the Artifact Master also contains a record of many basic metal materials.

It includes the properties of these metals and their refining methods.

Xiao Yang did not immediately write everything down.

After all, there's quite a bit of content here.

He slowly looked back, and behind him were some basic exercises for spirit weapon masters.

For example, some simple auxiliary artifacts.

These can at best be considered ordinary low-grade spiritual artifacts.

However, these magical artifacts are very suitable for beginners to practice with.

The materials used for these magical artifacts are relatively inexpensive.

Moreover, it is very easy to make.

Just like when a pharmacist first starts learning alchemy, they usually practice making simple pills like blood-clotting powder.

After quickly skimming through the document, Xiao Yang focused his attention on the method of condensing the Soul Fire.

He discovered that condensing the soul fire was not too difficult for him.

If we look at it from the perspective of the soul realm in the Dou Qi Continent, basically anyone who reaches the mid-stage of the mortal realm can condense a soul fire.

Unlike alchemists, who need to possess the fire attribute.

From this perspective, a spirit weapon master can basically use any attribute.

In Xiao Yang's view, this is normal.

On the Douqi Continent, alchemists must possess fire and wood attributes, which is a significant limitation.

He speculated that alchemists in the vast world might not necessarily need to possess fire and wood attributes.

Alchemists most likely use the fire of the soul to refine medicine.

This allows them to control the flames better than alchemists from the ordinary Dou Qi Continent.

There are reasons why alchemists need to possess the fire and wood attributes.

The fire attribute can release fighting flames through the medicine cauldron, while the wood attribute can regulate the flame temperature and sense the state of the medicinal materials.

However, all of these can be resolved in the face of the fire of the soul!

Without hesitation, Xiao Yang began to condense the soul fire, following the basic methods introduced by the weapon refiner.

Chapter 159 The Fire of the Soul

Looking at the method of condensing soul fire based on the basics of spirit weapon mastery, Xiao Yang couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

On the Douqi Continent, the way to use soul power is really too crude.

The ways in which spiritual power, or soul power, is used in the vast world are extremely subtle.

The basic methods of using soul power in the basics of spirit weapon mastery alone gave Xiao Yang considerable inspiration.

He discovered that as these insights came to him, his proficiency in alchemy also improved.

Without hesitation, he created a task.

[Task: Raise the proficiency of Grade 3 pills to Perfect. Reward: "Complete Collection of Grade 4 Pill Recipes", +3 to Pill Refining Technique Proficiency, +3 to Intermediate Pill Refining Talent, 100 Recipes for the Herb Field, and Double the Time Flow Rate of the Herb Field Space.]

When he reached the pinnacle of his third-grade proficiency, he did not obtain the complete set of fourth-grade pill formulas.

However, Xiao Yang understood.

After all, once a pill reaches the fourth grade, its effects become extremely powerful.

Just like the pills that can enhance the cultivation of a Great Dou Master, they must be at least Grade 4.

The fourth grade is a watershed in the world of elixirs.

Therefore, it's normal that it's a bit more difficult to obtain.

In addition, Xiao Yang was also very tempted by the other rewards.

Proficiency in alchemy techniques is also very important.

These are applicable to all grades of pills.

With the improvement of his alchemy skills, Xiao Yang's proficiency in making other pills may also increase.

Many things can be learned by analogy.

Just like this time when Xiao Yang comprehended some uses of soul power, his proficiency in making pills instantly improved a lot.

[Alchemy:]

Rank: Rank 3 Alchemist

Pharmacology (Dacheng 8/10)

Flame control (5/10)

Alchemy Techniques (Minor Success 7/10)

First-grade elixir (Complete 9/10)

Grade 2 Elixir (Complete 7/10)

Grade 3 Elixir (Completion 9/10)

The first-grade elixir is about to reach perfection, a state of divine mastery.

This is Xiao Yang's first achievement that comes closest to reaching the level of mastery.

He thought for a moment and then created another task.

[Task: Raise the proficiency of Grade One pills to the highest level. Reward: High-level pill talent +1, 100 recipes in the medicine field, double the time flow rate in the medicine field, one bottle of each Grade One pill, +1 pill comprehension.]

Xiao Yang looked at the mission rewards with some confusion.

He was quite looking forward to high-level pills.

If Xiao Yang's talent for alchemy improves again, the difficulty of the alchemy tasks he completes later will decrease by 10% compared to the initial level.

Previously, he could improve his proficiency by refining half of the original pills.

In the future, you will only need to refine 40% of the pills to increase your proficiency level.

It might be easier if you directly obtain advanced talents.

Doubling the space in the herb field is still very useful.

The current flow of time in his medicinal field is five times that of the outside world.

If these two rewards are taken into account, the flow of time within the herb field will reach a terrifying twenty times!

Although he could not cultivate inside.

However, even just planting some herbs can yield a great harvest.

If the medicinal herb field were larger, the number of mature herbs in the field over a year might exceed the number of herbs that were artificially matured in Xiaoyang.

He prepared to quickly condense the soul fire and then begin refining the elixir.

He had already completed part of the alchemy task.

Now, by refining fifty grade three pills, he can increase his grade three pill proficiency by one point.

He had already refined twenty-three of them, and now he only needed to refine twenty-seven more to complete the task.

He calmed himself down and began to recall the method of condensing the Soul Fire from the basics of the Spirit Weapon Master.

Xiao Yang's soul power directly emanated from his body.

He subconsciously used a few basic techniques for using soul power, which were fundamental to being a spirit weapon master.

He discovered that he could actually see inside the materials around him.

For example, the floor, the stone table, and the bed.

He can see inside these materials, and very clearly.

Previously, I could only get a general sense of it.

After playing for a while, he began to try to condense the soul fire according to the basic methods of a spirit weapon master.

Xiao Yang's soul power began to condense and compress in front of him.

This was his first time doing this, so he was still a little unfamiliar with it.

The first attempt was a complete failure.

Xiao Yang wasn't discouraged, which is normal.

Although he possesses great spiritual power, his application of it is rather ordinary.
