Ye Han sat cross-legged in the Cultivation Room, a ring of treasures revolving around him. All the magic artifacts he owned floated in midair, slowly circling his body.
As the treasures revolved, Ye Han murmured an obscure, difficult incantation, his fingers rapidly forming hand seals. Whenever a treasure passed before him, he swiftly formed seals and chanted, sending a gleam of light from the Treasure Refining Art into the treasure before him.
Indeed, after five days of study and practice, Ye Han had finally mastered the elementary stage of the Treasure Refining Art.
Just as Han Yuwan had said, the Treasure Refining Art could accelerate the refinement of treasures and imbue Refined Treasures with special seals, increasing their power and reducing the spell power required when a cultivator controlled and used them...
More importantly, it also created special Divine Sense Marks, which made it harder for the treasures to escape the cultivator's control.
If another cultivator happened to obtain them, erasing those Divine Sense Marks would be extremely difficult unless that person's cultivation was more than a full major realm above the owner's.
For example, after Ye Han and Zhang Qingshan killed Zhang Sanlei and his two companions in the Black Demon Forest and acquired their treasures, Zhang Qingshan had easily cleared away the Divine Sense Marks and blood-binding marks protecting those treasures.
However, even with Zhang Qingshan's powerful cultivation, he had been unable to completely remove the auras and imprints on them. A few traces remained, which Ye Han could only slowly refine away himself.
Another issue was that, during refinement, fully merging one's aura and blood-binding mark with a magic artifact also required a long time.
Only once the treasure had truly been refined into something entirely under one's control could its power and spells be fully unleashed...
