"Third-order Dao of Artifact Refinement- crafting techniques, Divine Craft Blade-Control Manual Fragment..."
"So this is the name of the spell? It sounds quite imposing."
Inside the inner cave abode, Lu Li sat quietly in the inner room, carefully studying the Jade Slip slip containing the Cultivation Method.
Inside the main hall of the cave abode, Changming Changye were each performing the Lesser Little Rain Cloud Instruction to nourish their spiritual energy field.
Another is invoking earth and stone magic, cultivating new spiritual fields.
Blocking out the outside noise, Lu Li channeled his Divine Sense into the Jade Slip.
The next second.
Mysterious words and images of techniques flooded his mind.
"The way of a vessel... is not about shaping its form, but about nurturing its spirit..."
"Use the soul as fire, and the will as a hammer, forge its sharpness, and it can cleave the void..."
Therefore, the ultimate goal of Dao of Artifact Refinement lies not in melting and casting metal and stone, but in awakening the spirit within.
"This manual specifically describes the essentials of weapon forging, using the divine as the hammer and the law as the standard."
Although it is a fragment, it is divided into three chapters: upper, middle, and lower, each of which is incomplete.
It is indeed a third-tier spell.
Lu Li at just one glance, exclaiming in amazement at the Divine Ability.
" The Spirit Forging Chapter does not use mortal fire, but uses Divine Sense to visualize a furnace in the void... drawing upon the spiritual energy of the universe to automatically temper the artifact embryo."
"The vessel made using this method is completely free of impurities, appearing perfectly natural, and radiates a pure and divine light on the day it is completed."
" The Blade Heart Chapter, created specifically for sharp weapons, imbues the core with the intent to 'sever' the weapon the instant it is completed..."
"It can cause the blade to generate its own magic-breaking micro-lights, which have a natural restraining effect on protective Gang Qi and the Five Elements Escape Techniques."
" The Spirit Infusion Chapter extracts a wisp of one's innate metal-elemental Spiritual Qi and infuses it into the vessel's meridians... enabling the Law Artifact to communicate with its owner's will."
"Once mastered, it can be used as easily as an extension of one's arm; once nurtured to a deep level, the blade can be drawn before the mind even moves."
"..."
At the end of the chapter, there is also a mysterious annotation from a weapon cultivator. "This method emphasizes intent over form. When mastered to a high level, even a blade of grass or a piece of wood can be used as a weapon."
The handwriting faintly glows with a golden light, as if life flows within it.
Lu Li so engrossed in watching that he couldn't tear himself away for a long time.
The mysterious words, coupled with the profound and enigmatic images of magic, captivated him completely.
Time is unknown, days and months are unknown.
Until Changming's respectful voice quietly reached his ears.
Lu Li only just came to his senses.
"Master... Master... the spiritual field is ready."
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave for now."
Lu Changming respectfully clasped his hands in a fist salute and stood at the door of the inner room.
Lu Li's eyes flickered slightly as he slowly opened them.
A hint of surprise flickered in his eyes.
"So fast? How many acres have been cultivated?"
"Reporting to Master, as you instructed, Changye and I have cultivated three more acres of spirit fields over the past three days, and have watered them all with magical spells."
"After my disciple comes to water it for a few more days, it should be almost ready."
Lu Changming spoke respectfully, and his words slightly startled Lu Li.
In his perception, it was only a fleeting moment, yet three days had already passed.
"Is this what they mean by cultivation without time... several days in the blink of an eye..."
Taking a deep breath, Lu Li shook his head.
Only upon entering the Foundation Establishment do we realize how precious time is.
A single moment of enlightenment, or a period of seclusion, can take several years.
Time really flies...
"Alright, you two go now, and don't forget your cultivation."
"Keep these Spirit Stone and strive to break through to the Late Qi Refining as soon as possible."
Lu Li said no more, and with a flick of his wrist, he took out some cultivation supplies and gave them to Changming.
The two clasped their hands in thanks, accepted the gifts, and left the cave abode.
Lu Li's gaze shifted to the Jade Slip in his hand.
These third-tier Dao of Artifact Refinement techniques are truly extraordinary.
Each of the three chapters (upper, middle, and lower) possesses its own unique and wondrous aspects.
It contains essential explanations of the crafting Law Artifact for magical artifacts, weapons of war, and the principles of weapon control.
This is still just a fragment.
Lu Li couldn't imagine what the subsequent chapters would contain, but these three points alone gave him a completely new understanding of weapon crafting.
It was like a sudden enlightenment, as if one had just been introduced to the world.
The more I looked, the more restless I became, and I just wanted to put it into practice right then and there.
"Unfortunately, third-tier Jade Slip cannot be copied, and verbal descriptions are insufficient to convey their meaning."
"Otherwise, I can send a copy back to Great Xia at the same time, or preach the Dharma simultaneously."
"Let Great Xia study it while I try to understand it..."
The thought surged within him, Lu Li made no further attempt to resolve it.
We must hurry and study it so that we can transmit it back to the Great Xia as soon as possible.
With a thought, he immersed himself once again in the Jade Slip.
I began to study and comprehend it wholeheartedly.
And while pondering and comprehending, they also kept their own insights firmly in mind.
Foundation Establishment True Person possesses powerful Divine Sense and increased mental capacity.
Lu Li was originally an engineering student, and now that he has successfully Foundation Establishment, his understanding of Dao of Artifact Refinement is far greater than before.
In just over half a month, he had memorized most of the techniques in the Jade Slip.
All that's left now is practice and gradual understanding.
This is also the most time-consuming and energy-intensive part.
Lu Li was not in a hurry and ended his epiphany.
Grasping the Jade Slip, a slight surge of Spiritual Power coursed through his body, rushing towards the fish-shaped jade pendant on his spiritual platform...
"Buzz~!"
A soft chirp.
In the valley base of Bureau 749, in the Great Xia of Blue Star.
The metal platform shone brightly.
The staff on duty quickly pressed a special button to notify the relevant personnel.
Before long, Li Yuanchao, Wang Zhiwen, Xu Mu and others arrived at the command hall.
" Director Li, I've returned the third-tier Dao of Artifact Refinement technique!"
"..."
Lu Li's voice resounded throughout the command hall.
He had already relayed information about this technique and the existence of the Supreme Refinement Peak Master True Lord Chiyang, back to the Great Xia during his enlightenment.
Even the questions that had been on his mind for the past few days were not left unanswered.
Let Great Xia analyze this in detail.
Upon seeing the pale golden Jade Slip that suddenly appeared on the metal platform, everyone present held their breath.
Third-tier spells, or the spells of the Hundred Arts Dao of Artifact Refinement Crafts.
Legend has it that Golden Core True Lord can learn the art of contact.
True Lord lives for five hundred years; on Blue Star, that would be no exaggeration to call him a god or immortal.
The rarity and value of the third-tier techniques it employs need no further explanation.
Now it's alive and well right before their eyes.
"Gulp!"
Wang Zhiwen swallowed hard.
Without hesitation, he immediately instructed the relevant personnel to retrieve the Jade Slip and Lu Li's insights.
" Elder Wang, the Jade Slip slips containing third-tier spells are quite special and cannot be copied."
"The oral account is incomplete, but I wrote down my detailed thoughts and insights."
"You can have Comrade Xu Mu or Comrade Zhang Xuanqing try to understand it first, and then analyze and study it in conjunction with my insights."
"Understood! Comrade Lu Li, don't worry, the country has now made some progress in the research of Cultivation Method."
Even if it's a third-tier spell, we have to at least make some progress by studying it!
Lin Xian, the head of the Cultivation Method Literature Workshop, spoke with excitement, his voice trembling.
It seems they are already eager to see the mysteries of the third-tier Cultivation Method.
"By the way, Comrade Lu Li, we've already started simulating and optimizing the Second-Tier Five Elements Essence Condensation Scripture that you sent back a couple of days ago."
" The Cultivation Method you personally upgraded and transformed is incredibly detailed in its insights and understanding, making the simulation very smooth."
"It's estimated that success will be achieved in a while."
Lin Xian's voice brought Lu Li a slight surprise.
If second-tier Cultivation Method could be optimized into versions 2.0 and 3.0, cultivation efficiency would certainly increase significantly.
But Lu Li's joy didn't last long.
Li Yuanchao's words sent a chill down his spine.
"Comrade Lu Li, there's something you urgently need to pay attention to."
"Based on your previous question, we've suddenly discovered that the entire Azure Pool Three Commanderies... has a major problem!"
