The method of concealing the weapon and sheathing it was, in essence, a cultivation method that sealed one's own power.

Now that Zheng Fan wanted to practice sheathing it, he also needed some artifact-refining materials. At that stage, even if the subject forcibly broke free of the restraints, he would suffer considerable backlash.
