Refining magical treasures with Innate Gods?

Was that not a little evil?

Luo Qing, however, did not mind. In the Primordial Wilderness of Yuanshi, where was there so much justice, or such a thing as the principles of the Demonic Path?

Everyone was pursuing the Great Dao. There was no distinction between good and evil.

Just as before, when Luo Qing had captured Innate Gods to Revert to Innate, he had not felt the slightest sense of guilt.

Luo Qing had originally captured six Innate Gods in total. Apart from the Earth God Bai Yan, whom Luo Qing had already refined into the White Flame Spirit Pearl Immortal Artifact to carry out his scheme of deceiving Heaven and crossing the sea,

he still had two Earth Gods, two Heavenly Gods, and one True God among the five captives available for use.

Although Luo Qing's current strength was still insufficient to use the Eye of the Great Dao to analyze the essence of the Origin of the Great Dao,

his basic appraisal and discernment abilities were not bad at the very least.

In Luo Qing's eyes, there was no essential difference between the Dao origin contained within an Innate Spiritual Treasure and the origin within an Innate God.

If he had to point out a difference, the Dao origin within a god was somewhat more active.

As for the origin within a Divine Treasure, unless one actively drove it, its origin would remain completely still and was relatively sluggish.

"If I can find a way to restrain the activity of the origin within a god, directly treating an Innate God as an Artifact Refining material is not impossible!"

After studying it carefully, Luo Qing felt that his method was feasible.

After all, the entire Earth God Bai Yan had been refined into an Immortal Artifact. It was merely that his origin had not been utilized.

What Luo Qing needed to do now was to incorporate that origin into the magical treasure system based on the White Flame Spirit Pearl, using it as the core of the magical treasure.

To be cautious, Luo Qing first took out one of the two Earth God captives.

This Earth God belonged to the Earth God of Soil. The soil origin within his body was the weakest among the five remaining captives.

Even if he destroyed him, it would not hurt.

"Let's begin!"

Luo Qing took a deep breath and began taking out one piece of earth-attributed treasure material after another.

Divine Treasures were not only powerful in terms of Dao origin and formidable in terms of Spiritual Restrictions; even their materials were among the finest in the Primordial Wilderness.

Luo Qing did not have such top-grade spiritual materials on hand, so he could only make up for quality with quantity.

Luo Qing extracted the essence and discarded the dross from a huge pile of earth-attributed treasure materials, ultimately smelting them into a mass of soil essence the size of a human head.

He then fused the soil essence material into the body of the Earth God.

Treating the Earth God as an Innate Treasure material, he began using his Innate Crimson Fire to temper the god's Divine Body.

During this process, he also could not allow the Earth God to die. Otherwise, once his divine soul dispersed, his origin would collapse as well.

Within the White Flame Spirit Pearl, the divine soul of the Earth God Bai Yan had been refined by Luo Qing into something akin to its Artifact Spirit. His consciousness had merely been erased.

Refining a Divine Treasure now followed the same principle. Throughout the entire process, he had to ensure that the god's divine soul remained alive.

But there was another hurdle to overcome: the Innate Spiritual Restriction. Luo Qing was unable to engrave it completely.

However, after studying four Innate Spiritual Treasures and the top-grade Treasure Artifact, the Fire Spirit Ring,

Luo Qing had not come away without any major gains.

Between the Innate Spiritual Restriction and the Innate Treasure Restriction, he had found an intermediate restriction.

By imitating Spiritual Restrictions and Treasure Restrictions, he designed a new set of restrictions.

Its strength was roughly such that three of them could match one Innate Spiritual Restriction. Yet it could also stand comparison with three Innate Treasure Restrictions.

Luo Qing named it the Acquired Restriction.

On the treasure embryo formed by the Earth God's fusion with the earth-attributed treasure material, Luo Qing engraved nine Acquired Restrictions in succession.

When he tried to engrave the tenth, however, he faintly saw the treasure embryo showing signs of cracking.

This made Luo Qing frown.

The treasure embryo's material was somewhat lacking. It could not contain a tenth Acquired Restriction.

"Forget it. The main material is only an Earth God. It really is a little lacking."

Luo Qing sighed and stopped forcing the matter.

He linked the Acquired Restrictions together one by one and completely activated them.

He also fused the god's origin into the nine Acquired Restrictions.

The god's originally abnormally active soil origin immediately began violently rebelling as soon as it entered the Spiritual Restrictions.

It tried to break free from the suppression of the Spiritual Restrictions, but the power of the nine Acquired Restrictions far exceeded the eruption of the soil origin.

After shaking for only a moment, the soil origin was completely suppressed and bound.

But before Luo Qing could celebrate, he saw that among the nine Acquired Restrictions fused with the soil origin, the four uppermost layers of Spiritual Restrictions began collapsing and dissipating one after another.

In the end, only five layers of Acquired Spiritual Treasure remained.

"This... Is the origin too weak?"

Luo Qing frowned. The origin of this Innate Earth God could not support nine Acquired Restrictions.

Before Luo Qing could think it through, the soil origin and the remaining five Acquired Restrictions entered the final stage of fusion.

A low-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure was born.

A Divine Treasure was still a Divine Treasure. Even an Acquired Spiritual Treasure continued to contain the Origin of the Great Dao.

It could be called a treasure of the Great Dao.

Radiant light instantly filled the entire cultivation room.

And at the moment this Acquired Spiritual Treasure was completely born, its aura spread outward. Above the core area of Hundred Gods Mountain,

mysterious yellow light shone upon the Nine Heavens. Three-colored auspicious clouds covered half the sky above Hundred Gods Mountain, while illusory phenomena of five-colored divine deer, multicolored birds, Luanfeng, and more stretched across the high sky.

This phenomenon instantly drew the attention of all the gods on Hundred Gods Mountain.

"This is the aura of a Divine Treasure being born! A Divine Treasure has appeared within Hundred Gods Mountain?"

"No, no! Although the aura resembles that of a Divine Treasure, there seems to be a faint difference. Besides, how could the birth of a Divine Treasure not produce any heavenly phenomena?"

"In any case, it is definitely a treasure!"

The many gods of Hundred Gods Mountain had never seen an Innate Spiritual Treasure, let alone an Acquired Spiritual Treasure.

At this moment, an Acquired Spiritual Treasure had been born, yet very few people actually recognized it.

It was still a group of Phoenix Clan gods who were residing as guests on Hundred Gods Mountain and had seen much of the world. As soon as the phenomenon appeared, they immediately understood what had happened.

"It is indeed the phenomenon of a Divine Treasure being born, but it is an Acquired Spiritual Treasure! And judging by its aura and the phenomenon, it is only a low-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure. There is nothing worth making a fuss over!"

A Phoenix Clan Mystic God publicly commented with disdain.

Hundred Gods Mountain was simply too remote and barren, and its gods were all so ignorant.

In the Phoenix Clan, phenomena caused by the birth of Acquired Spiritual Treasures occurred often. They had long since grown accustomed to them.

"A low-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure?"

After learning the truth, the expressions of the Hundred Gods Mountain gods became rather strange.

They had never seen an Acquired Spiritual Treasure, but they had heard of them.

The Mountain Lord Hunxing already possessed the cultivation of a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. A low-grade Acquired Spiritual Treasure was of little use to him.

The Mountain Lord Hunxing certainly would not take the initiative to refine one. Then who else could be refining a treasure in the core area?

Many gods of Hundred Gods Mountain immediately thought of someone.

"The Mountain Lord Hunxing's fifth disciple, Chi Huo, Chi Lingzi. The most famous Artifact Refining master on Hundred Gods Mountain over the past few thousand years."

"Chi Lingzi can refine Acquired Spiritual Treasures now? My heavens! Does that not mean..."

Countless gods of Hundred Gods Mountain began letting their imaginations run wild.

There were quite a few Metal Gods on Hundred Gods Mountain, but no one had ever heard of any of them being able to refine Acquired Spiritual Treasures.

As for the Mountain Lord Hunxing, even if he knew how to refine them, no one would dare ask the Mountain Lord to refine a treasure for them!

But if Chi Lingzi could refine Acquired Spiritual Treasures, did that not mean they could ask him to help refine one?

At this moment, not only were the many Mystic Gods of Hundred Gods Mountain excited, but quite a few Metal God elders were also tempted.

The Metal God elders of Hundred Gods Mountain were still using top-grade or supreme-grade Innate Treasures!

As for Innate Spiritual Treasures, perhaps only the Mountain Lord Hunxing throughout all of Hundred Gods Mountain possessed one.

Once the phenomenon faded, discussion of Chi Lingzi was immediately pushed to its peak.

"I never expected a little place like Hundred Gods Mountain to produce an Artifact Refining genius. He can refine Acquired Spiritual Treasures before even reaching the Metal God realm! Someone of this caliber is worth considering for recruitment."

A peak Metal God from the Phoenix Clan muttered.

This Metal God was responsible for investigating the background of Hundred Gods Mountain, and he also shouldered the important task of recruiting talented individuals for the Phoenix Clan.

If the Phoenix Clan wanted to dominate and occupy the entire Southern Primordial Territory, it naturally had to absorb talented people from outside.

An Artifact Refining master who could refine Acquired Spiritual Treasures before reaching the Metal God realm was qualified to be recruited by the Phoenix Clan.

After all, even though the Phoenix Clan had many Fire Gods, not every Phoenix Clan member at the Grand Unity Golden Immortal level could refine Acquired Spiritual Treasures.

Among the many gods of the Primordial Wilderness, only a minority were proficient in Artifact Refining.
