Making a Magic Item

Upon hearing Li Yao's question, Lin Xiaowei replied with no small amount of pride, "That's right!"

Li Yao smiled and said, "So, how are you, Gwenia D. Ruffi?"

Lin Xiaowei: "No, I'm going to establish the Main World's Naval Headquarters, so you can call me Sea King."

Li Yao: "..."

What was supposed to be a somber tomb-sweeping occasion was transformed by Li Yao and Lin Xiaowei into something resembling a stand-up comedy routine—in fact, he had never been to a stand-up comedy show with Lin Xiaowei before.

All right,

They probably weren't going to listen to crosstalk.

Instead, he paid to perform crosstalk! Remembering his best friend's words, Li Yao hung up the phone, took off his earphones, and went to the Black-Clothed Man on the other side of the Cemetery Graveyard, saying, "Hello, gentlemen, what can I do for you?"

One of the Black-Clothed Man showed his identification and said, "Hello Mr. Li Yao, we are the Wallfacers stationed in Tong City. We have received orders from above to escort you back to the provincial capital."

Li Yao: "Now?"

The Black-Clothed Man nodded.

Okay...

It seems that Big Sis Feng Li is indeed in a hurry.

He took out his phone and told his Uncle and Aunt Lin, then got into the car with the two Black-Clothed Man and drove back to the provincial capital.

More than four hours later,

Li Yao finally returned to Drum Tower Road in the provincial capital. Big Sis Feng Li was standing at the entrance of Midnight Bar. When she saw Li Yao get out of the car, she sneered and said, "Oh, you're back, little brother?"

Her smile gradually turned into a sinister grin, "You've got some nerve now! You've gotten quite the big shot!"

Big Sis Feng Li reached behind the door frame and pulled out a two-meter-long Pudao: "Aren't you going to give me an explanation?"

Li Yao had seen this scene many times before, so he wasn't afraid of it anymore.

He walked over, put the Pudao back down, and said, "Sister, you're not young anymore. It's not good to keep being so impulsive. Why don't you find a boyfriend?"

It can also help to cool down or relieve internal heat when you're not in a hurry.

Feng Li: "???"

Dude, you're awesome!

You even dare to make fun of your own sister?

Big Sis Feng Li thought for a moment and said, "Is it because you, Li Da Yao, are too arrogant, or do you think your sister is too old to handle a knife?"

Or are you, Li Da Yao, blind to see this two-meter-long broadsword in my hand?! Li Yao laughed and said, "Then don't you want to retrieve the stolen production equipment?"

Feng Li gritted her teeth and pulled back her knife. "You wait, sister! Come in and talk!"

Before entering, Li Yao used the Mind Link to summon Maeve. Just as he settled into his booth, Maeve arrived. After gesturing for Maeve to sit, Li Yao asked, "Can you still sense the signal from the stolen device?"

Maeve shook her head. "I can't sense it, it's blocked."

Big Sis Feng Li's eyes turned hostile!

Li Yao panicked a little, but he quickly came up with a solution and said, "I have another way to determine the direction."

This is a spell from the Divination Faction.

The magic of the Divination Faction has a unique advantage in exploration, analysis, and early warning.

Among them is the Advanced Location Spell at the Fifth Circle level.

This is an upgraded version of the third-circle spell "Item Location Spell". The third-circle "Item Location Spell" can be disrupted by lead or polymorph spells, thus failing to provide effective results.

However, the Fifth Circle's "Advanced Location Spell" is different.

Transformation or lead can no longer affect its outcome.

Because Advanced Location Spell establishes a connection between an item and its owner, creating a vague link at the causal level, thus generating a location.

Therefore, even if the production device is blocked and cannot release bio-pulse current for Maeve to sense, Li Yao can still find it!

Big Sis Feng Li nodded with a gloomy look in her eyes. "What method?"

Li Yao: "I will create a device that can effectively pinpoint the location of that item."

His current cultivation level is only at the Great Perfection of the Third Ring, and he cannot yet analyze the spells that constitute the Fifth Circle.

But that's alright, he can use alchemy to inscribe the relevant spell model circuits onto an item, and through this item, he can point to the location of that production device.

Li Yao said, "I will give you a... um, a compass. It will help you find that thing."

Big Sis Feng Li: "As soon as possible!"

Li Yao replied, "I can give it to you tonight!"

Big Sis Feng Li nodded.

Li Yao suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, sis, I just wanted to ask. Do we have any blueprints for battleships, destroyers, or cruisers here? That's fine... but what about aircraft carrier blueprints? I'd like to know about those too..."

Feng Li: "???"

What are you trying to do, kid?!

Li Yao: "You know, men are generally interested in these kinds of things. I figured I'm pretty good at handicrafts, so I wanted to learn more about it! So I did!"

Feng Li thought for a moment and replied, "It's not easy to get this kind of information domestically. Shipbuilding is a highly specialized discipline; the related majors alone could support an entire university! Don't get any wild ideas."

Li Yao nodded.

I just don't know if the library or some related science and engineering universities have the blueprints...

If all else fails, I'll have to use a VPN to access the internet outside of China.

After asking the question, Li Yao left the Midnight Bar and returned to his own tavern next door.

He first found the spell model of the Advanced Location Spell, marked out each key node, and then took out a pen to trace it on the drawing... This was the first time he had drawn the Spell Circuit of the fifth Fifth Circle.

It must be said,

The Spell Circuit of the Fifth Circle are more complex than those of the third ring.

Because this involves occult knowledge at the level of rules!

Outlining the circuit is only the first step. Before and after, there are also the preparation of Magic Potion, the pressing of special outlining paper and corresponding spellcasting materials... Even for Third Circle Mage like him, to successfully forge a "magical item" with the Fifth Circle level, he must perform the corresponding rituals!

After Li Yao became familiar with the spell model circuit,

He then began to make a compass.

Thanks to his persistent alchemical experiments, Li Yao's manual skills have greatly improved.

He first used the spiritually imbued metal material he had previously created to make a compass, and then began to mix Magic Potion and inject it into an enchanted pen to sketch the circuitry of a spell model on a treated, spiritually imbued parchment.

Once everything is ready,

Once the potion had stabilized, Li Yao asked Maeve for a drop of her blood.

The production equipment Maeve Manufacturing came from Maeve.

The relationship between the two is completely rooted in the same source! Therefore, using Maeve's blood as a medium to determine compatibility is the best approach!

After obtaining Maeve's blood, Li Yao returned to the alchemy room and evenly smeared it on one side of the Maeve, instantly making the previously brass-colored pointer distinguishable.

After closing the glass cover, Li Yao placed the "compass" in the center of the engraved magic model circuit.

He then placed four candles around the magic array according to astrological directions. These candles were also made by Li Yao in his daily alchemy experiments and contained spiritual power.

It incorporates specially blended medicinal solutions, essential oils, and hydrosols.

Once the flame is lit, a unique fragrance will fill the air.

Li mobilized his spiritual power to guide the special incense and spiritual energy produced by the burning candle, creating a rich spiritual atmosphere around them.

In the surging magical atmosphere,

Li Yao placed his hands on the array diagram, his spiritual energy flowing out like water. The originally dark blue Magic Potion immediately glowed with a faint light, even bulging, transforming the two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional form! The dark blue color became like the color of the dawn night sky, shimmering with tiny stars, as if the real night sky contained within it! Under Li Yao's control... the patterns originally engraved on the paper not only became raised and three-dimensional, but even gradually detached from the paper and floated into the air! And began to methodically fall, little by little, onto the compass in the center...
