Refining weapons and forging weapons may sound similar, but they are not the same thing.

The vessel is Law Artifact, which can take any form, even a purely natural flower or a tree.

Even the most skilled swordsmith could not forge Meng Qingying's handkerchief.

Just like Wolf Tooth Club and a flute are not the same thing.

Forging this Wolf Tooth Club might require highly specialized weapon-making techniques, something Qin Yi knew nothing about. However, refining this flute was entirely up to his own will, using suitable materials and his own Law Power to refine and fuse them to achieve the effect he desired. Refining a magical Law Artifact that suits one's own will is almost an inevitable path for all cultivators.

The Artifact Embryo that Ju Yunxiu gave to Qin Yi had already been fused with various kinds of Immortal Spirit Jade, and had many effects.

For example, Qin Yi once complained that the Wolf Tooth Club did not have the effect of increasing Law Power, accelerating the flow of Spiritual Qi, or enhancing Law Technique effects, while this flute does... in game terms, it is equipment that increases casting speed and enhances spell damage.

Moreover, the increase is quite large... After all, this is something that Ju Yunxiu, can afford to give away. If it were too low-grade, she would be embarrassed to take it out.

As for its sound quality, it goes without saying that it also enhances sound wave vibrations, allowing for the transmission of very strong sound waves with relatively low Law Power.

This is the basic function of a magical Law Artifact that can be used in combat.

As for other functions, Qin Yi would need to add them according to his own wishes. If done well, it could also improve the material of the Artifact Embryo, break through the level of Law Artifact, and become a low-level Law Treasure.

Adding overly high-level items would be beyond Qin Yi's current control, making it meaningless if it became like the Demon Slaying Sword, only useful as a powerful ultimate move. Adding too many mixed effects would also be inappropriate, as they could easily clash and lower the overall quality.

The best choice at this time is naturally the Soul-Seizing Essence Metal, which enhances the effects of soul-capturing and bewitching music.

In other words, this thing still can't be used as Flying Magical Artifact... Qin Yi still has to miserably use the effeminate handkerchief to fly.

But that's enough.

In the weapon-refining room, a peach-shaped piece of refined gold floated in the air. The Witchcraft Sacrifice Fire shot out from Qin Yi's hand, and flames like red lotuses rose from the ground, merging with the Witchcraft Sacrifice Fire and quietly enveloping the refined gold, gradually melting away.

Drops of golden liquid fell and mingled with the jade flute below.

The jade flute rested on a stone platform, upon which lay a layer of smooth, solidified liquid that flowed over the flute, faintly emanating a chilling aura. This was the Gold Jade Cream Water used in the professional refining and fusion of jade, not the kind of liquid used to melt jade with fire, which would destroy the jade.

The biggest difference between weapon crafting and sword and pill refining lies in their similarities.

Qin Yi focused intently on channeling his magical Law Power, beads of sweat appearing on the tip of his nose.

That Soul-Seizing Essence Metal peach was so tough that even his own spiked Wolf Tooth Club couldn't break it; its hardness was unimaginable. Now, after being tempered by flames for so long, it was slowly melting, requiring the maximum amount of magical Law Power to melt it. If it weren't for the Red Lotus Heart Fire here, he probably wouldn't have had the strength to melt it.

This is exactly what he can refine at his current limit, it's truly like Will of Heaven.

However, the Law Power cannot be fully used for starting a fire; it must be diverted to refining the jade flute itself, completely integrating the effects of the refined gold into the jade, making them inseparable.

In this process, the jade flute will naturally become bound to him, bearing his mark. If someone else takes it away, it will be ineffective unless his mark is erased.

This doesn't even include the Natal Magic Treasure.

The true Natal Magic Treasure is refined with one's soul and grows along with one's cultivation. If the Law Treasure is damaged, one will also suffer great harm. At this time, Qin Yi has not yet started such soul cultivation.

Unaware of the passage of time within the cave, Qin Yi had no idea how long he had been channeling his Law Power. The process of refining a weapon was, in essence, a process of training one's Law Power.

Slowly, the refined gold finally disappeared completely, and golden light shone brightly on the jade flute, filling the room with light so dazzling that people couldn't open their eyes.

As the light gradually faded, a golden dragon shape faintly appeared on the pure white jade flute, running through its body.

This is not carving; the jade itself has already become this way, forming a seamless whole.

Qin Yi's Law Power was completely exhausted at this moment. He slumped down in a slumped position, looking utterly drained, and said contentedly, "Great! This is my first Law Artifact. How about we name it?"

After a moment of silence, Liusu said, "This is Law Treasure. This refining process improved the original quality of the Artifact Embryo."

"Well?"

"This is really a low-level Law Treasure, probably around the upper rank of the ninth grade."

What exactly is the difference between Law Treasure and Law Artifact?

"The difference between an artifact and a treasure. Although they are still artifacts, they have undergone a qualitative change." Liusu said, "There's no need to delve into anything too complicated. You can focus on the biggest difference: a magic Law Artifact is already fixed and cannot be changed, while Law Treasure can be refined again and transformed."

Qin Yi was overjoyed and took the flute, examining it over and over.

The Wolf Tooth Club wasn't something he found; his blue robe, jade pendant, and even his handkerchief were all gifts from others.

Although this flute was a prototype given to me by someone else, it was indeed the first thing I had ever crafted with a great deal of Law Power and effort; it was truly my own, and naturally, I had a deep emotional attachment to it. Being able to keep it from being discarded due to declining strength and to be able to refine and carry it again was certainly something to be happy about. Compared to this value, the amount of increased power it actually gained was not so important.

The flute's body is cool and smooth to the touch, and you can feel the clear flow of Law Power and the pleasant connection to your bloodline.

Qin Yi knew that if he used this flute to cast spells, the effect would be much better than the original Hand Seals.

A cultivator who has acquired a suitable magical Law Treasure is like a mortal martial artist who has obtained the Heaven-Slaying Sword; the improvement is remarkable.

As a martial artist, without the Wolf Tooth Club, my strength would be significantly reduced, and I might not even have the right to refuse to fight Meng Qingying. But as a cultivator, with this flute, my future combat abilities will be greatly enhanced, and I won't need to rely too much on martial arts.

At this moment, Qin Yi is a fully equipped cultivator, and the value he gains from joining a sect is immediately apparent.

Through this ritual, his cultivation also improved, reaching the Heart of the Harp Second Layer at an unbelievable speed.

Qin Yi thought that if he were to display his data using a game panel, it should look like this:

Martial Arts: Muscle Tendon Change Third Layer. Core Cultivation Method: Nameless Secret Manual, Main Body Cultivation, Gang Qi, and Staff Techniques.

The weapon Wolf Tooth Club, suspected to be a divine weapon, with infinite physical damage, special effects of penetrating defense, never wearing out, and other unknowns.

Immortal Dao: Heart of the Harp Second Layer. Core Cultivation Method: "Creation Golden Chapter," which focuses on transformation.

The Law Treasure jade flute grants a 20% increase in casting speed and a 666 increase in spell damage. Its special effects include sonic amplification and Soul Hooking- capturing.

Cheng Cheng's hand-woven green robe grants +10 physical defense, +50 elemental resistance, and +10 resistance to special status effects.

The jade Cheng Cheng Law Power regeneration speed by 20%.

In addition, there is a flying handkerchief, a Demon -Demon Slaying Sword a powerful weapon), and a storage and protection ring.

Well, the numbers are just random, but that's the gist of it.

Liusu seemed to be racking her brains for a name, and after thinking for a long time, she finally gave up and said, "I'm not as flamboyant as you guys, why should I come up with a name? Ju Yunxiu is a cultured person, and the Artifact Embryo is hers, let her name it."

"Mmm." Qin Yi stepped out of the mansion.

From today onwards, I am a mature cultivator. I can go and tease Little Qing Cha and see the silly senior Senior Sister.

Qin Yi, carrying a flute, rode a palanquin towards the Main Peak.

There was no Qing Cha in sight. The door was open, and the room was quiet. Qin Yi slowly entered the room and immediately saw Ju Yunxiu sleeping on the couch by the window.

A book lay on his lower abdomen, as if he had just grown tired of reading and was lazily falling asleep.

Like a concubine drunk with wine, or a crabapple tree slumbering in spring, it is breathtakingly beautiful.

Qin Yi subconsciously swallowed, thinking to himself, "Senior Sister, it's not right for you to sleep so carelessly. What if some lecherous fellow barges in?"

As she was thinking, Ju Yunxiu seemed to sense someone entering the room and quickly opened her eyes.

Qin Yi didn't know whether he should breathe a sigh of relief that she was still alert or feel disappointed.

Ju Yunxiu leaned slightly to her side, propping her head up with one hand, and looked at Qin Yi with sleepy eyes, lazily saying, "What brings you here?"

"Uh, the weapon forging is complete. I came to tell my Senior Sister." Qin Yi took out the jade flute.

"Oh, it's been upgraded. Not bad, Law Treasure."

"It's a good Artifact Embryo for Senior Sister. Please suggest a name."

"Since it's the Artifact Embryo, let's call it the Yunxiu Flute."

As the words Words become law, as if by magic, the words "Yunxiu" faintly appeared on the flute, and the Law Treasure finally took shape.

"I'm going back to sleep now, nothing else." Ju Yunxiu yawned and turned to go back to sleep.

Qin Yi added with a strange expression, "So, from now on, when I play this flute, I'll always keep Yunxiu to my lips?"

With a "whoosh, "Ju Yunxiu flipped herself up.
