Profound Grade High-Level Dou Artifact Blueprint (Incomplete) Inheritance! Please Read On! Please Vote!

"It's nothing, just a little inflammation. Apply some medicine and it'll be fine."

Inside the Myriad Medicine Hall carriage, packed with all kinds of medicinal herbs rarely seen in Qingshan Town, Mr. Yao took out a few leaves and some root fibers from the medicine chest. With his palm covered in Dou Qi, he ground them into powder by hand, mixed in a little water, and applied it to Jiang Lin's flushed forehead.

"I thought you put it in your pocket. I didn't expect you to fall asleep so quickly. The rust got on your forehead and caused inflammation." Sitting in the carriage leaving the city, Mr. Yao looked at Jiang Lin, whose head was slightly feverish, and felt rather helpless inside. This kid was usually quite smart, yet he always did foolish things from time to time.

And whenever he acted foolish, it was practically a perfect performance. He was so stupid that it didn't even look like acting.

After thinking it over, Mr. Yao prepared several more medicinal ingredients for Jiang Lin, ground them into powder, mixed them into a simple medicinal soup, and had Jiang Lin drink it to treat his slight inflammation and fever.

After drinking Mr. Yao's medicinal soup, Jiang Lin felt his mind cool down a little, and his condition improved somewhat. Seeing this, Mr. Yao stepped out of the carriage and drove it out of the city.

Inside the carriage, Jiang Lin rubbed his slightly burning forehead and thought to himself, Mr. Yao is quite good at pretending to be confused too. As a pharmacist, how could he not know about my physical condition? Simple inflammation—even tetanus—shouldn't have caused such obvious symptoms in me.

Jiang Lin sniffed the air, then found several washed Sweet Ginseng roots in one of the medicine chests. He quietly borrowed one and took a bite as though it were dessert. The sweet flavor made him feel as though his head was no longer so hot.

Profound Grade High-Level Dou Artifact Blueprint (Incomplete): Magic Core Crystallization Armor! Jiang Lin sensed the sudden flood of memories in his mind and suppressed the excitement in his heart.

For the first time, he had come into contact with this world's "orthodox" Weapon Refining knowledge!

The culprit behind Jiang Lin's weakened condition and his defeat at the hands of a mere bit of inflammation was the inherited knowledge within that rusty iron fragment: the Profound Grade High-Level Dou Artifact Blueprint (Incomplete), Magic Core Crystallization Armor!

Generally speaking, some powerful Dou Qi cultivators could use Soul Power to imprint their Dou Techniques onto certain objects for later generations to study. At the same time, one needed exceptional soul perception to sense this inherited Dou Technique knowledge. The reason Jiang Lin had felt that iron fragment containing inherited knowledge was colorless and formless, devoid of any color, was because of Soul Power.

However, inherited knowledge was usually composed of Dou Techniques. Dou Artifact blueprints like this were instead extremely rare.

Moreover, using iron fragments to imprint Dou Artifact blueprints was something Artifact Forgers of ancient times liked to do. Modern Artifact Forgers mostly preferred to spread their knowledge through paper blueprints, much like Alchemists' pill formulas. It was more intuitive and did not consume Soul Power.

The knowledge contained within a Dou Artifact blueprint was far greater than that of a Dou Technique. Receiving such knowledge consumed a great deal of Soul Power. If one's strength was insufficient, it could weaken the soul and thereby affect one's physical condition.

Furthermore, to unlock the inherited knowledge within the Dou Artifact blueprint fragment, one needed not only powerful Soul Power, but also a Fire-Gold Dou Qi attribute. Only when both conditions were met could an Artifact Forger read the knowledge related to the Dou Artifact blueprint.

Jiang Lin clearly possessed powerful soul strength and a Fire-Gold Dou Qi attribute, but his cultivation was too low, and he did not know how to actively use his Soul Power. Thus, when inspiration struck and he placed the Dou Artifact fragment against his forehead, his Soul Power instinctively sensed it. After the two examined each other for a while and found that their conditions matched, they automatically formed a connection. Before Jiang Lin even knew how to refuse, he absorbed all the inherited knowledge within the Dou Artifact fragment in one go!

"The knowledge system of the Magic Core Crystallization Armor is almost entirely incomplete. Who knows how many years old this antique is, but to me, it's no different from timely aid in a snowstorm!"

To other Artifact Forgers, the Magic Core Crystallization Armor was basically useless, because this Dou Artifact blueprint was missing far too much information. Even if a Profound-grade Artifact Forger came, they would be unable to forge the Magic Core Crystallization Armor according to the contents of the blueprint.

But for Jiang Lin, who was encountering this world's Artifact Forgers' knowledge for the first time, it was aid in a snowstorm. The complete Magic Core Crystallization Armor could not be used, but this Dou Artifact blueprint still contained plenty of small pieces of knowledge and concepts that interested Jiang Lin. Its greatest value to him was that it told him certain paths could succeed; he only needed to keep moving firmly in that direction.

Among them, what Jiang Lin gained the most from this incomplete blueprint was the occasional knowledge regarding the use of Magic Core energy. Its use of Magic Cores was more advanced than Jiang Lin's current methods, and it even mentioned the concept of "Purified Magic Core Dou Qi."

"I have no use for the Magic Core Crystallization Armor. Although this blueprint knowledge is incomplete, it has told me the core forging concept of this blueprint, greatly inspiring my future research direction for Mysterious-grade Dou Artifacts." Inside the carriage, Jiang Lin ate various sweet medicinal herbs Mr. Yao had bought for the Myriad Medicine Hall while silently pondering to himself.

The complete Magic Core Crystallization Armor was extremely powerful. Even Dou Emperor experts could perfectly adapt to it. The core concept of this armor was to continuously replenish energy with Magic Cores during battle, thereby achieving an inexhaustible supply of Dou Qi.

This happened to secretly align with Alchemists, who possessed a complete knowledge system, because many pills required Magic Cores for refinement, while many pills could also restore one's strength during battle.

For ordinary people—for example, the vast majority of Alchemists—without pill formulas, they basically could not refine any good pills. Traditional Artifact Forgers were the same. Without high-level Weapon Refining blueprints, they could only forge high-level "blank slate" Iron Clods like the Profound Weight Ruler, rather than exceptional weapons like the Purple Cloud Sword and Flame Burst Armor-Slaying Sword, which were lower in grade but possessed special effect attributes.

The value of the complete Magic Core Crystallization Armor blueprint could even attract the attention of superpowers in the Central Continent. But a damaged blueprint like this, with more than half its information missing, was nothing more than waste paper in many people's eyes.

However, Jiang Lin had one major difference from the people of this world: his way of thinking.

To Jiang Lin, the most precious part of the Magic Core Crystallization Armor blueprint was not the blueprint itself, but its design philosophy!

The Magic Core Crystallization Armor could not be forged, but its forging philosophy could be applied to other fields of Dou Artifacts!

The core reason Jiang Lin could forge without blueprints was that he could always grasp the most essential aspect of a Dou Artifact.

Just like that saying,

Whether you are strong or not has nothing to do with me.

But your existence is your greatest meaning to me.

Wutan City truly was full of hidden masters!
