Benjamin couldn't wait to take out the prototype of "Eye of Investigation" from the storage ring, as well as some rare materials that had been prepared before to improve Rune Artifact.
With the new mental power and the support of True Essence, Benjamin has a more accurate grasp of the characteristics and details of runes and materials.
He modified the structure of the runes, adjusted the flow of energy, and incorporated some more detailed runes into it.
After some refining and reshaping, the originally rough transparent crystal became more brilliant, and the runes inside seemed to come alive, emitting a weak and restrained light.
The appearance has not changed much, it still looks like the crystal eyeball, but it looks more perfect.
"It should be fine." Benjamin suspended this new "Eye of Investigation" prototype in the air.
After closing the protective barrier in the laboratory, Benjamin activated Talisman Seal, connecting his mind to it.
He walked to the door of the laboratory, quietly placed Eye of Investigation on the top of the door frame, and then returned to his seat.
This time, the perceived information is no longer blurry and scattered fluctuations.
Eye of Investigation seemed to have truly turned into an eye, "projecting" the surrounding scenes within a few hundred meters into Benjamin's consciousness in a strange way.
He could clearly "see" the apprentices in the corridor, sense the vitality fluctuations in their bodies, and even distinguish the weak energy emitted by the Wizard Artifact they wore.
And this kind of perception is continuous, just like being connected to a monitoring probe. As long as Eye of Investigation is not destroyed, it can continuously transmit information, and the mental power he consumes is minimal, which is only the extremely low consumption required to maintain the soul connection.
Of course, the prototype still has shortcomings.
Its perception range is still limited and cannot penetrate thick walls or powerful barriers.
In a complex environment, such as a battlefield full of energy interference like Gray Rock Plane, the perception effect may be greatly reduced.
Moreover, it can only sense passively and does not have active scanning or tracking capabilities.
"There is still a lot of room for improvement." Benjamin looked at Eye of Investigation floating in the air, his eyes full of enthusiasm.
In terms of effect, the current Eye of Investigation is not even comparable to the range of his active release of Alchemy and Analysis Art.
But now that the initial prototype has been completed, the next step is to continue optimizing along this line of thinking.
Benjamin did not continue the experiment. He placed Eye of Investigation back on the experimental table and focused his attention deep into his consciousness with an excited expression.
Now, the research on the investigation type Rune Artifact has a clear direction, and his cultivation has reached the late stage of Qi Refining.
This means that he can start working on the next and most important plan he has ever had.
That is - weapon refining!
It's time to start refining his own first Dharma Treasure!
Qi Refining late.
According to the records of the exercises, monks at this stage, True Essence, have accumulated to a certain extent, and their spiritual consciousness is enough to carry out more complex tasks, and they can start to be exposed to some auxiliary skills that require higher cultivation levels.
The most important of these is weapon refining.
Although ordinary cultivators can also refine some small artifacts through various means, there is only one result that can be seriously called artifact refining, and that is "Dharma Treasure".
Dharma Treasure is a unique concept in the cultivation system.
It is not only a powerful artifact, but also the embodiment of the cultivator's "Tao". It is a natal object that is connected to the mind and heart. It can accompany the cultivator's growth and even possess incredible power.
This is fundamentally different from the small objects refined by the wizard Wizard Artifact or even other cultivators - Wizard Artifact talisman and his like rely more on external energy and precise structures. Whether they are powerful or not mainly depends on the energy level of materials, runes, structures and infusions, and the connection with the user himself is relatively indirect.
Dharma Treasure, it requires the cultivator to integrate his own True Essence, divine consciousness, and even a trace of the soul origin into it, use his own True Fire to temper the spirituality of the material, use his spiritual consciousness to carve the formation containing the corresponding "Tao", and finally refine a natal weapon that is consistent with his own aura, can be controlled at will, and can even grow with the improvement of his cultivation level.
To put it bluntly, weapon refining is not only a skill, but also a process of manifesting one's own perception of Tao and understanding of the rules of heaven and earth into powerful weapons.
This concept of "imprinting" oneself into the utensils to make them possess "spirituality" and "growth" is something that ordinary utensils do not possess.
For Benjamin, in addition to improving his combat effectiveness, refining Dharma Treasure can more importantly make up for the shortcomings of his existing combat system.
With Rune Artifact, he actually does not lack the means to attack.
The reason why he plans to refine the weapon is that the most important thing is the "spirituality" of Dharma Treasure itself.
The reason why Benjamin skipped the manufacturing of the intelligent auxiliary machine and gave priority to the production of the investigation type Rune Artifact was because of this idea - he planned to use the initially spiritual Dharma Treasure as an intelligent terminal to assist him in processing information.
Spirituality is not a special attribute unique to Dharma Treasure. After all, those high-level Wizard Artifact or Rune Artificial Intelligence not only possess spirituality, but can even give birth to "wisdom" under the right conditions.
But at this stage, Dharma Treasure is the only option that can make objects possess spirituality.
With his mind sinking deep into his consciousness, Benjamin began to choose from the various Dharma Treasure refining methods provided by Great Dao Library.
Considering that Wizard World is different from Immortal Cultivation World, Benjamin also has very strict requirements for Dharma Treasure.
Firstly, the cultivation required for manufacturing cannot be too high, and then there are restrictions on making tools - after all, some furnace cauldrons specially used for weapon refining cannot be manufactured until at least Golden Core.
Therefore, we can only choose Dharma Treasure, which can be refined using the most primitive refining method.
Considering that Wizard World does not have Spirit Energy, it is best to minimize the dependence of Dharma Treasure on Spirit Energy.
In this way, those Dharma Treasure who are good at frontal attacks are almost completely eliminated. Fortunately, Benjamin also has no shortage of attack methods.
Taking into account the difference in materials, Dharma Treasure, which requires precious materials or special substances to manufacture, is also directly ignored.
Fortunately, because Cultivation Civilization has evolved the ability to extract concepts, the material restrictions are not too big.
Because this Dharma Treasure is mainly used as an intelligent terminal to assist itself in processing information, the spirituality born after refining must be strong enough.
On the other hand, it would be best if this Dharma Treasure could make up for the shortcomings of its existing combat system, and it would be even better if it could save lives.
After Ling Ling Zongzong's requirements were sorted out, even Benjamin felt that he seemed a bit excessive, but Great Dao Library still gave him a massive choice.
After spending a few days picking and choosing in the depths of my consciousness, Benjamin finally found my favorite target among the vast Dharma Treasure manufacturing drawings.
