Cultivation: I can solidify equipment attributes

Chapter 509 Natal Magical Artifact

After returning to the transit island in the sea, Zhao Heng took out a spirit jade box from his storage bag and handed it over.

"Void Crystal, of excellent quality. Fellow Daoist Li, please inspect."

Li Yuan took the jade box and opened it.

The box was lined with a layer of soft spirit silk, and in the very center was a crystal the size of a fingernail. The crystal was completely transparent, with extremely fine spatial patterns flowing slowly inside, as if the crystal itself was a miniature, solidified void.

Spiritual energy probed the surface of the crystal, and the sensation was extremely unique. It was not the hardness of a solid material or the coldness of metal, but a strange texture that lay between reality and illusion, like touching the interface between air and water.

The quality is indeed excellent.

"No problem." Li Yuan closed the spirit jade box and put it into his personal space.

Zhao Heng cupped his hands in greeting: "It's a pleasure to cooperate. Once the time for the ceremony is set, I will inform Fellow Daoist Li in advance."

The two parted ways on the island. Zhao Heng returned to Tianyue Sect via a teleportation array, while Li Yuan transformed into a beam of light and flew towards the main island of the Kunpeng Alliance.

All the core materials for the natal magic weapon have been gathered.

The outer shell is made of Spirit Jade, the decorative layers are made of Mystic Magnetic Refined Gold and Heavenly Origin Mystic Iron, and the core hub is made of Void Crystal. As for auxiliary materials, Spirit Silver, Sea Essence Refined Iron, and Red Copper Refined Iron have already been prepared.

All that's missing is a sufficiently large weapon-refining workshop.

The crafting process for a natal magical artifact is far more complex than that for an ordinary magical artifact. It requires multiple furnaces to be set up simultaneously, and many processes must be carried out in parallel. Ordinary crafting rooms are not spacious enough and lack complete equipment.

On the east side of the Alliance's main island stands a large weapon-refining workshop, exclusively for Golden Core level weapon refiners. Li Yuan rented the largest single room there for a month using his contribution points.

Li Yuan laid all the materials out on the forging table and inspected them one by one.

After closing his eyes for a moment, the monkey went through the entire design of his natal magic weapon in his mind.

The framework of the versatile and ever-changing artifact patterns is the core. Instead of imprinting a fixed pattern, the artifact pattern layer is designed with a set of variable pattern loops. By changing the connection method of these loops, different functional modes can be achieved. Combined with the changing shape of the artifact's outer shell, a single artifact can manifest in various forms such as a sword, shield, mirror, and plate in different modes.

The overall structure is divided into three layers: the outermost layer is the Linggang Jade shell, which takes into account both hardness and spiritual power conduction; the middle layer is the artifact pattern layer composed of Xuan Magnetic Refined Gold and Tianyuan Xuan Iron, which carries the universally changing artifact patterns; the innermost layer is the Void Crystal Core Hub, which serves as the spatial core to maintain the stability of the artifact pattern circuit switching.

Three-layer structure, three processes, all carried out simultaneously.

Li Yuan opened his eyes, and his divine sense extended out from his sea of ​​consciousness.

Fourteen lines of divine consciousness.

Divided into four groups.

The six main groups were all gathered in front of the first furnace. Their task was to forge the outer shell of the Spirit Jade, the most complex part of the entire magical artifact.

The four strips in the second group were assigned to the second furnace. Their task was to lay out the texture layers.

Two deputy groups were assigned to the third furnace. Their task was to prepare the Void Crystal Core Hub.

The remaining two lines of consciousness do not participate in specific processes; they are dedicated to real-time verification.

Grouping complete.

Three furnaces were ignited simultaneously.

The spirit fire rose in the furnace, with three flames of different temperatures operating simultaneously.

Seven days later, all three processes were completed.

Next comes assembly.

Li Yuan simultaneously lowered the temperature of the three furnaces to a constant temperature, and all fourteen divine sense lines were concentrated on the forging platform.

First, wrap the patterned layer around the core hub, ensuring that each patterned loop aligns with the spatial interface of the core hub. Then, snap the outer shell of the Spirit Jade onto the outside, ensuring a tight fit with the outer edge of the patterned layer.

The final step is the infusion of spiritual energy.

Li Yuan poured out the spiritual energy from his dantian, allowing it to seep into the artifact's pattern layer along the outer shell's conduction channels, and then flow from the pattern layer into the core hub.

The spiritual energy completed its first full cycle within the magical artifact.

The three-layered spiritual energy circuit—outer shell, texture layer, and core hub—was connected in the same instant.

On the forging table, an oval-shaped magical artifact, about the size of a fist, lay quietly.

Extremely fine lines appeared on the milky white outer shell, and the dark gray artifact patterns were faintly visible through the translucent shell. Inside the artifact, a faint light flowed slowly, which was the spatial fluctuation emitted by the Void Crystal Core Hub as it operated.

Li Yuan reached out and picked up the ritual implement.

The shape of the magical artifact began to change the moment the spiritual energy was poured in.

The oval-shaped outer shell slowly stretched, flattened, and elongated, transforming into the shape of a three-foot-long sword within a few breaths. The blade was a translucent milky white, with a sharp edge and dark, flowing patterns resembling weapon designs on its surface.

With another thought, the longsword's shape changed once more. The blade contracted, thickened, and widened, transforming into a round shield. The artifact patterns on the shield automatically switched to defensive mode, and the flow of spiritual energy changed from concentrated output to distributed absorption.

Then it transformed. The round shield became a hand mirror, its surface smooth as water, and the artifact's patterns switched to detection mode.

The natal magic weapon has been successfully crafted.

Currently, there aren't many possible forms. However, the framework for the universally adaptable artifact pattern has been established. Going forward, we only need to add new loop patterns to the artifact pattern layer to continuously expand new forms and functions.

Li Yuan held the magical artifact in his palm, feeling the rhythm of spiritual energy flowing between the artifact and himself. The compatibility was very high; the artifact responded to the spiritual energy with almost no delay, as if it were an extension of his arm.

Within a three-foot radius, two beams of light shone simultaneously.

One green and one purple.

The green light arrived first.

A panel pops up.

[Conditions for the permanent realization of the microscopic structure (green) have been met]

[Requirement: Your weapon crafting skill must reach a level sufficient to reliably craft mid-grade third-tier magical artifacts]

【The concept of "perceptual understanding of the structure and principles (green)" has become a permanent entry.

Green light merged into the sea of ​​consciousness.

A scene flooded my mind. It wasn't a specific person or scene, but an extremely subtle sensory experience.

Countless materials are arranged in the field of vision. Metals, ores, spirit wood, animal bones, crystals—each material emits its own unique attribute fluctuations. When two materials are placed together, the attribute fluctuations will interact, either amplifying or repelling each other.

After the image faded, Li Yuan's perception of refining materials deepened even further.

As the green light dissipated, a purple light appeared.

Purple.

Li Yuan's gaze fell on the natal magic weapon in his palm.

An extremely rich purple radiance appeared on the surface of the ritual implement. The radiance seeped into the textured layer from the outer shell, and then flowed into the core hub from the textured layer, eventually forming a complete purple halo in the entire ritual implement.

A panel pops up.

[Special item detected: Natal Artifact (Complete)]

[Equipment Attribute Upgrade: Primal Resonance (Blue) - Primal Assimilation (Purple)]

[Effect: Increases total spiritual power and soul power by 30%; the deeper the resonance between the artifact and its owner's spiritual power, the greater the increase in total spiritual power and soul power (up to 50%).]

[Preview of conditions for permanentization: Cultivation level reaches the late Golden Core stage, and nourishment is carried out with essence blood for 100 days]

Purple entry.

The innate magical artifact has a blue attribute in the embryonic stage, and it upgrades to purple after being refined.

The condition for permanentization is to nourish the body with essence and blood for 100 days in the later stages of the Golden Elixir.

Li Yuan placed his natal magic weapon into the special equipment slot.

[Equipped: Natal Artifact (Complete)]

[Original Assimilation (Purple) Takes Effect]

The moment the purple light merged into the equipment slot, the spiritual power within his sea of ​​consciousness increased simultaneously, with a significant improvement in both the coverage and precision of his divine sense.

The spiritual power did not increase. The previous effect of the primal resonance was to enhance the spiritual power, but now it is just covering up, not stacking.

Put away the magical artifacts and leave the weapon-refining workshop.

The sea breeze was refreshing, and the distant sea shimmered with a golden-red light under the setting sun.
