"I understand, Director Li."
"In that case, I will unleash my full potential to delve into the Dao of Artifact Refinement of artifacts."
"Hmm! Now that you've entered the Foundation Establishment and developed Divine Sense, it will be of great help to the country's research. We've prepared a batch of unfinished Spirit Machinery that are stuck on technical issues. You can take a look at them when you have time."
As soon as Li Yuanchao finished speaking, personnel were already driving small transport vehicles.
One by one, the uniquely designed Spirit Machinery Law Artifact were moved to the metal platform.
Lu Li responded and slightly increased his Spiritual Power.
His Foundation Establishment Law Power was incredibly powerful; in just a moment, he collected a large amount of supplies into the Jade Pendant Space.
The jade pendant broke.
Lu Li's Divine Sense surged into the Jade Pendant Space, and he immediately discovered all sorts of unfinished Spirit Machinery objects in his mind.
There was the Spirit Vein Detector 2.0 beta version that we used before, the Spirit Machinery Mech 2.0 experimental version, and the fully automatic constant temperature Pill Furnace that had never been able to operate successfully.
Besides that, there were a bunch of little gadgets.
"Whoosh!"
With a slight lift of his wrist, Lu Li released the fully automatic constant-temperature Pill Furnace.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud.
A bizarre Pill Furnace, as tall as a person and possessing both industrial and cultivation styles, appeared in the cave abode.
The furnace body is streamlined and silver-white, resembling a missile warhead.
The surface is etched with intricate Artifact Inscription.
A transparent Jade Slip is embedded in the center of the furnace, displaying faintly glowing parameter dots.
At the same time, one's gaze can penetrate the Jade Slip to see the internal structure of the Pill Furnace.
Inside, several flame nozzles engraved with Artifact Inscription lined the furnace wall.
The inside of the Pill Furnace is also equipped with several spirit magnetic levitation arrays.
And a crystal probe that can monitor drug properties.
The furnace body has a special power groove on its exterior for storing Spirit Stone.
The most eye-catching part is the bottom of the furnace... a vector-shaped fire inlet, engraved with numerous fire-related Artifact Inscription and formations.
The entire furnace looks exactly like a sci-fi version of Pill Furnace.
"The design is quite nice."
"But why do I always fail at refining pills? Either the medicinal properties aren't fully purified, or the heat is too high."
"Or perhaps the pill's efficacy has been severely diminished."
Lu Li up and circled the Pill Furnace.
At the same time, he mobilized his Divine Sense to carefully scan the entire Pill Furnace.
Advancing to the Foundation Establishment not only strengthens his Law Power and increases his combat strength.
Most importantly, it allows one to project Divine Sense outwards.
There are nine realms of cultivation, each with its own unique wonders.
The most wondrous aspect of Foundation Establishment is Divine Sense.
The power of Divine Sense is more effective than the most sophisticated detection equipment.
Its subtle effects and keen sensitivity are like a pair of invisible hands that can explore everything.
Lu Li's expression turned slightly strange as he scanned the area with his Divine Sense.
"Overall, this Pill Furnace seems to have no major flaws."
If I had to point out a flaw...
"It's just that the various parts are a bit rough."
"Could it be that by refining these components, we can succeed?"
Lu Li's eyes flashed, demonstrating the full power of his Foundation Establishment Divine Sense.
He merely swept his hand over the Pill Furnace.
He was able to discover many subtle flaws that were difficult to detect even by the Qi Refinement Realm and by technological means.
It just so happens that he has just obtained that third-tier Dao of Artifact Refinement technique.
Today, let's use this Pill Furnace to test the method.
With a thought, Lu Li reviewed the essence of the technique.
The Spiritual Power within his body was slowly mobilized.
"The way of a vessel... is not about shaping its form, but about nurturing its spirit..."
Not using ordinary fire... but triggering the spiritual energy of the universe to automatically temper the artifact embryo...
Where the mind is moved, Spiritual Power follows.
Lu Li closed his eyes.
The Pill Furnace slowly floated in front of him.
"Snap!"
"Snap!"
Amidst the crisp crackling of springs, the components of the Pill Furnace rapidly disintegrated.
They transformed into individual parts, floating within the cave abode.
In Lu Li's mind, a forging furnace seemed to appear out of thin air.
The surging Spiritual Power transformed into fire and rushed towards him.
The large number of parts were all wrapped up.
"Buzz~!"
"Buzz! Buzz!"
Amidst the trembling sounds, each component of the Pill Furnace was re-forged.
The slightly off-center Formation Inscription on the Artifact Inscription were erased one by one.
The excess structural components were melted into a spiritual liquid.
To supplement what is missing.
Time passed slowly.
Sunrise and sunset.
Several days have passed in the blink of an eye.
With the last component completely calcined.
Lu Li suddenly opened his eyes!
"Condense!"
With a soft shout, the silvery-glowing components of the Pill Furnace he had forged seemed to receive a summons.
They shot into the air all at once, gathering together.
"Snap! Snap!"
"Click-clack-clack-clack-clack!"
With a crisp sound, a brand-new Pill Furnace slowly took shape.
Half an hour later.
"Bang!"
With a muffled thud, the Pill Furnace landed on the ground, its surface shimmering with light.
It appeared even more divine than before it was re-refined.
It lacks a touch of technological sophistication but possesses a profound and mysterious Daoist charm.
"Phew... This Divine Craft Blade Controlling Manual is no ordinary skill."
"I've only grasped a little bit, yet my understanding of Dao of Artifact Refinement has already improved significantly."
"The smelting of spiritual materials and artifacts is much smoother than before, and the quality of the refining process has also improved."
"Even the loss of Spiritual Power has been greatly reduced."
Recalling the third-order Dao of Artifact Refinement technique he had just activated, Lu Li couldn't help but sigh.
The third-tier technique is truly extraordinary. With this method, I believe he will soon make great progress in the art of Dao of Artifact Refinement.
Once you get familiar with second-tier spiritual materials, you'll soon be able to become a second-tier grandmaster.
This will also help him better implement his high-profile weapon-refining plan...
"As for now... let me test the effects of this fully automatic Pill Furnace first."
A flash of light appeared in Lu Li's hand as he took out a set of medicinal ingredients and placed it at the inlet.
At the same time, he tapped his fingers repeatedly, embedding several Spirit Stone into the groove of the Pill Furnace.
Divine Sense activated, and the formation was ignited.
Raging flames burst forth from the vector-driven fire inlet.
The temperature inside the cave abode rose rapidly.
Once the temperature reaches a certain threshold, the Artifact Inscription at the feed inlet begin to shimmer slightly.
The spirit medicine was placed into the furnace, and the magnetic levitation array was immediately activated.
Under the scorching heat of the flames, the spirit medicine gradually turned into a liquid.
The vector fire inlet at the bottom of the furnace slowly extinguished.
The nozzles, resembling spray guns and engraved with Artifact Inscription, ignited at that moment.
The final extraction step is underway.
Another hour or so passed.
As the flames from the nozzle gradually died down, five pills, each the size of a longan and gleaming with a pale yellow luster, slid out of the dragon's mouth one by one.
It landed steadily in the tray!
"It's done!"
Looking at this batch of pills refined by a fully automated Pill Furnace.
Lu Li's eyes lit up with joy, and he flicked his sleeve.
He summoned the five pills to his front.
After smelling and examining the medicine, and confirming that it was effective, I felt relieved.
"The fully automatic, temperature-controlled Pill Furnace is currently usable."
"However, many problems still exist, the first being the cost."
"Cultivators expend their own Law Power when refining pills... The Pill Furnace relies on Spirit Stone to operate, which significantly increases the cost of the pills."
"In terms of time, it takes me several times longer to refine it myself..."
"This is just a basic First-Tier Yellow Sprout Pill. If it were a more advanced pill, the problem would probably be much bigger."
Lu Li calmed down and carefully analyzed the many problems that had just occurred to him.
I felt no disappointment.
This Pill Furnace seems a bit useless right now, but if it could be improved and optimized further...
This will inevitably have a huge impact on the cultivation Immortal Realm.
Thinking of this, Lu Li's eyes lit up slightly, as if he suddenly knew how to take the first step in high-profile weapon forging.
"Hmm... perhaps it's time for an industrial revolution in the cultivation Immortal Realm!"
