Li Nanci was among the first batch of disciples recruited from the three prefectures after the establishment of the Dao Academy.
In his first year, he was still an outer court disciple, but in his second year, he was specially recruited into the inner court due to his exceptional talent in weapon crafting.
Although his cultivation level was only at the Late Qi Refining, he was truly amazing in the field of artifacts.
Even Lu Li couldn't help but sigh after meeting him several times.
Perhaps this is what a true prodigy in the Dao of Artifact Refinement is like.
"Sect Leader, I've recently been somewhat confused about weapon crafting, and many ideas are unclear to me. That's why I wanted to listen to some storytelling to find some inspiration."
Li Nanci was good-looking and had fair skin.
His skin was smooth, and his eyes were bright and clear, revealing a youthful intelligence and a touch of shyness.
He was slightly slender, and dressed in the copper-threaded blue robe of an inner courtyard disciple, he exuded a scholarly and refined air.
At first glance, he doesn't seem like a weapon refiner who spends his days with furnaces and anvils.
He looked more like a handsome scholar engrossed in his studies.
He was still somewhat nervous when Lu Li asked him questions.
He spoke softly, clasped his hands in a fist and bowed, not daring to be the slightest bit negligent.
"Unclear thoughts? And you, with unclear thoughts too."
"Alright, then tell me, and I'll see if you're genuinely confused or just pretending."
Lu Li turned around, casually picked up a square magical Law Artifact component, no bigger than a thumb, from the table, and examined it.
"This... this disciple is curious about how the Heart of Primordial Beginning that the Sect Leader has refined actually makes a sound?"
"How does it understand our needs and even help us?"
Li Nanci's dark eyes darted around.
It exudes a hint of curiosity and a touch of wit.
Lu Li's fingers, which were holding the square magic Law Artifact, paused slightly, but he did not rush to answer.
The Dao Academy has a very innovative approach to training its inner disciples.
Many textbooks have been revised, but they still retain a distinctly Blue Star flavor.
Under such constant immersion and nurturing, the disciples have a much stronger ability to understand and accept new things, but they still have many doubts.
For example, the existence of the Heart of Primordial Beginning.
Each disciple on duty has some authority to access the Heart of Primordial Beginning.
The scope of authority is limited to matters related to its own premises.
But the more this was the case, the more puzzled the disciples became.
What kind of magical Law Artifact could possibly be so knowledgeable about so many arts and crafts?
It is even three points better than the Golden Core.
"Sound is nothing more than the regular vibration of objects."
"Add some vibrating Artifact Inscription to the Law Artifact, or add vibrating components according to their structure, and then connect them with Jade Slip containing numerous secret records."
"Then it can achieve the effect of the Primordial Beginning."
"As for assistance, the more patterns Primordial Beginning Artifact Inscription and the wider the range of secrets he collected, the more naturally it would serve as an aid."
"Isn't the reason you forge flying swords also to aid you in combat?"
"Objects are inherently formless; they are formed by the mind's will. What is there to be unclear about?"
Lu Li's few words made Li Nanci blink repeatedly.
This seems to offer another perspective on the meaning and existence of Law Artifact.
In fact, what Lu Li said wasn't a lie.
The massive database inside the Heart of Primordial Beginning had long been ported into the Jade Slip.
The core components were also entirely replaced with components made of Artifact Inscription and spiritual materials.
Although its interior and exterior may still have a somewhat modern technological appearance.
But in reality, it was already a mysterious magical Law Artifact.
"Now I've answered your question."
Tell me, is there anything you still don't understand?
Upon hearing Lu Li's voice, Li Nanci up, her eyes shining.
He clasped his hands in a more respectful gesture than before, his voice filled with excitement.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader! This disciple has no further questions!"
"I would also like to ask the sect leader if there are any areas for improvement or optimization in the cultivation of my Heart of Second Primordial."
After saying that, he looked expectantly at Lu Li and the square component that Lu Li was holding in his hand.
Yes, as a prodigy obsessed with Dao of Artifact Refinement, he had no interest in reading novels.
He simply wanted to use these methods to analyze the structural principles of the Heart of Primordial Beginning as thoroughly as possible.
This is how he can accomplish his earth-shattering feat!
A first-tier Law Artifact born from imitation of the Heart of Primordial Beginning!
A purely handcrafted auxiliary magical Law Artifact!
Lu Li's gaze and Divine Sense had already examined the square magical Law Artifact component in his hand several times.
The more I looked at him, the more excited I became.
The more dazed one becomes...
He's incredibly clever; this Dao of Artifact Refinement's talent in the art of Dao of Artifact Refinement is simply terrifying.
The square magic Law Artifact in his hand, no bigger than a thumb, wasn't particularly outstanding.
The function of Artifact Inscription on vessels is also extremely limited.
It appears to have only three functions.
One is like real-time calculation, capable of quickly analyzing and deducing things.
One is simpler, like a memo or reminder.
There is also a Artifact Inscription.
Hmm, this Law Artifact is too rudimentary.
Frankly, it's not even as good as the latest mobile phone from Blue Star.
It only used first-tier spiritual materials, and the engraved Artifact Inscription were mostly ordinary.
However, this is still the first auxiliary magic Law Artifact crafted by a local Qi Refinement cultivator from the Dao Academy.
Lu Li dared not overlook the significance of this little thing's existence in the slightest.
"Call..."
He took a deep breath and turned to look at Li Nanci.
" The Heart of Second Primordial, did you come up with that name?"
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, it was indeed this disciple who initiated it."
"The name is a bit off, but the product itself is fairly well-made; it's just a bit limited in functionality."
"Also, why did you make this so small?"
"Logically speaking, you should know that the larger the object, the more Artifact Inscription can be made."
Lu Li's voice carried a hint of curiosity.
This drew envious glances from the three disciples of the Artifact Hall beside him.
Being able to discuss the art of weapon crafting with the sect leader was something they had always dreamed of.
Li Nanci paid no attention to any of that; his focus was entirely on the magical Law Artifact in front of him.
Receiving guidance from the sect leader was what excited him the most.
The right thing to do is to improve one's weapon-forging skills.
He immediately responded.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, this disciple has considered ways to shrink this object to a sufficiently small size."
"Ideally, it should be carried with you at all times, or perhaps placed inside your spiritual core to be activated with your Divine Sense."
"This method is the most convenient and also the safest."
Insert this thing into your spiritual platform to connect with your Divine Sense, and then activate it with your Divine Sense when needed?
The more I listen, the more familiar it sounds; it's like a novel he's read before.
What's inside? A system!
Yes, that's it.
Could this kid really be trying to create something like a system?
However, it seems possible.
The Heart of Primordial Beginning was originally intended to help Lu Li manage and govern the Dao Academy, providing convenience and ease.
It can also be used to teach disciples; why not treat it as a system?
If possible, the General Affairs Hall, Exchange Hall, and Hundred Arts Hall could even use the Heart of Primordial Beginning as a medium to contact the disciples.
Thinking of this, Lu Li's expression brightened slightly.
Give your opinion.
"Try using a modifier Artifact Inscription; this item must at least have scaling capabilities."
"And in terms of functionality..."
Lu Li paused for a moment, then presented his own idea to Li Nanci.
"Perhaps you could try integrating the daily operations of the Artifact Hall into it first."
"It doesn't need overly complicated functions; simply organizing trivial tasks is convenient enough."
