I slept without any dreams.
The next morning, Chen Shuangbai woke up on the stone bed and couldn't help but sigh, "I actually had a rare good night's sleep."
Since he began practicing Buddhism, he has made it a habit to replace sleep with meditation.
These days, when I finally get a good night's sleep, I don't feel drowsy at all; instead, I feel refreshed and invigorated.
As usual Chen Shuangbai cast a Clean Clothing Incantation to remove the unclean energy from her body, then went to the center of the cave abode and took out the precious banner.
Then a shimmering light appeared, which transformed into a bluish-white banner that floated in mid-air.
The banner moved without wind, slowly rolling up like waves, as if the surrounding energy was being drawn in and gathering around it.
Chen Shuangbai extended her right hand, channeling her magic Law Power into the Spirit Artifact, continuously nurturing it to ensure it harmonized with her own Law Power so that it could unleash its full potential in the future.
It can only be said that this Spirit Artifact is truly usable only by cultivators at the Foundation Establishment.
Even on its first attempt at nurturing, it still drained nearly 80% of Chen Shuangbai's Law Power before finally stopping.
"I was almost drained dry..."
While sighing, Chen Shuangbai cast another Flower Bloom Incantation on himself, and at the same time, the " Moon-Worshipping Clear Illumination Method " within his body was activated, absorbing the surrounding primordial energy to replenish his Qi Sea.
The precious banner, after being nurtured, floated quietly in mid-air, but compared to before, it now truly resembled its original form.
The Treasure Light shone brightly, with the rivers and moon on its surface radiating light. The thirty-six seal characters on the back were also exquisite, seemingly expounding some kind of water and wood principle.
However, Chen Shuangbai also discovered that this item seemed to have the effect of gathering moonlight.
"It seems... the treasure that Senior Brother Du obtained for me must be of a high grade."
Chen Shuangbai thought that perhaps the friendship between her and this Senior Brother Du could be deepened even further.
Such a talented weapon refiner is someone I should keep in touch with more often in the future.
He continued to look at the precious banner, and saw that it reflected the shimmering water, its blue shadow floating, and the bright moon shining on the waves, giving people a sense of tranquility and peace.
"How about we call it the [ Clear Waves Reflecting the Moon Banner ]?"
Therefore, Chen Shuangbai gave her first Spirit Artifact a name full of artistic conception.
Because it is Spirit Artifact artifact, it will take some time to completely refine it.
Therefore, Chen Shuangbai has not left the cave abode for the past few days.
During the process of refining this Spirit Artifact, Chen Shuangbai discovered that it had three wonderful Spirit Artifact.
One is to gather spiritual energy and summon vital energy.
Secondly, there is the Thousand Ripples Obscuring the Moon.
Third is the Flowing Frost Freezes Stars.
The ability to gather spiritual energy and summon vital energy is not hard to understand; it aligns with one of Chen Shuangbai's initial concepts in creating this treasure: to aid his cultivation.
Chen Shuangbai tested the effect and found it to be far more effective than the Spirit Gathering Formation in his own cave abode. In fact, when combined with various elixirs, his cultivation speed could be increased to another level.
The Thousand Ripples Obscuring the Moon create a dense, high-speed rotating mass of water vapor, effectively blocking enemy attacks and deflecting Law Technique. Finally, it can also disrupt the Law Technique of enemies within its area of effect through a unique wave-like technique.
It's even possible that they won't be able to cast their Law Technique at all.
Chen Shuangbai tried to penetrate the thousand ripples with his Sword Qi, but his originally sharp Sword Qi, once inside, seemed to be trapped in a swamp, gradually slowing down and eventually completely freezing and stopping.
He then tried using the Cold Spring Guidance to create a vast expanse of ice blades, but the effect was greatly reduced.
"Putting everything else aside, just this effect alone... anyone else wanting to get close to me is dreaming."
The first two results had already greatly shocked and satisfied Chen Shuangbai.
He then remembered what Du Zifeng had said: he had refined two sets of restrictions into this item, one called the Water Cloud Law Restriction and the other called the Cold Star Law Restriction.
The former incorporated thirty-six of them, and the latter incorporated twenty-eight, for a total of sixty-four magical restrictions.
Although Chen Shuangbai did not know how to refine artifacts, he knew that the more magical restrictions and treasure restrictions a Law Treasure could withstand being forged into it, the greater its potential and power.
"Perhaps my [ Clear Waves Reflecting the Moon Banner ] can even rank among the top-tier Spirit Artifact!"
A few fantasies couldn't help but arise in Chen Shuangbai's heart.
But this fantasy didn't last long. He calmed his mind, slowly channeling his Law Power into the precious banner, and whispered:
" Flowing Frost Freezes Stars."
Buzz!
After a buzzing sound, a small patch of dazzling starlight suddenly lit up on the surface of the [ Clear Waves Reflecting the Moon Banner ] in my hand.
Upon closer inspection, Chen Shuangbai discovered that it was not real starlight, but rather frost stars shimmering with a ghostly blue light.
He tried gently shaking the precious banner, and an unprecedented, chilling power emanated from him, instantly spreading outwards!
The cave abode where he lived was already full of moisture, and now, affected by this power and artistic conception, it instantly condensed into countless visible ice crystals. The ground, walls, and even the spiritual light of the array were all covered with a thick layer of white frost!
But that's not the most terrifying part. The most terrifying part is...
Glug glug!!!
Upon hearing the sound, Chen Shuangbai looked over and saw Gray Ball hiding to the side, its lower body completely covered in frost. Its body gradually stiffened and eventually solidified into a living ice sculpture.
Chen Shuangbai speculated, "Perhaps it's not just the physical body that's affected, but also the Law Power and spiritual consciousness."
He tried to remove the protective effect of the banner on himself and found that his physical body, Law Power, and spiritual consciousness were all significantly suppressed under the influence of this domain.
His eyes lit up.
"Judging from this situation, my strength has been suppressed by at least 20% to 30%, and that's only because I'm the weapon's owner!"
"If it were an enemy..."
Chen Shuangbai's heart skipped a beat.
The effect was completely beyond his expectations.
But this Flowing Frost Freezes Stars not only suppresses enemies and inflicts debuffs, it is also the most powerful offensive weapon on this Spirit Artifact!
Chen Shuangbai took out a large, square, blue stone.
This is a testing stone used by the Jade Spring Sect to test the effects of spells.
"Go!"
With a soft shout, one of the dozen or so frost stars floating around the [ Clear Waves Reflecting the Moon Banner ] flew out at extreme speed, like an ice-blue frost line mixed with specks of silver-white starlight, shooting out silently.
But there was no loud explosion, only a very faint sizzling sound.
The next moment--
Click!
The test stone, which was about half a person's height, had a small, dark blue hole in its center. From this hole, countless spiderweb-like cracks spread outwards, and the cracks were covered with dark blue frost.
Immediately afterwards, the upper part of the entire test stone shattered into countless ice shards, which fell to the ground.
"Hiss--!"
Chen Shuangbai gasped, her eyes filled with shock.
"Isn't this power... a bit too outrageous?"
