[You consumed 3 attribute points and successfully fused red copper (Black Iron Tier) into Condemnation. Condemnation's quality improved slightly.] [You consumed 2 attribute points and successfully fused mystic essence stone (Black Iron Tier) into Condemnation. Condemnation's quality improved slightly.]
As Black Iron Tier materials were smelted one after another, Condemnation's quality continued to improve.
[You consumed 6 attribute points and successfully fused black bone (Black Iron Tier) into Condemnation. Condemnation's quality rose to Bronze Tier.]
"It's Bronze Tier already?"
Lin An looked at the Black Iron Tier materials, less than a tenth of which had been consumed, along with exactly 100 attribute points.
He had thought it would take at least 1,000 attribute points.
But only because he had so many attribute points and such deep pockets could he dismiss this expenditure. Ordinary players absolutely couldn't afford it.
"Since it's Bronze Tier now, let's throw in Bronze Tier materials."
Lin An then took out Bronze Tier materials and continued throwing them in. He had no shortage of them anyway.
As time slowly passed, Condemnation's quality rapidly improved.
After consuming 500 attribute points and some materials, Condemnation's quality rose to Silver Tier.
Lin An still didn't stop.
Another quarter of an hour passed.
[Your weapon Condemnation's quality has risen to Gold Tier, gaining the attribute retention effect. When absorbing materials with attributes, it will retain those attributes.]
Raising it from Silver Tier to Gold Tier had cost a total of two thousand attribute points.
"It can actually gain attributes now."
Lin An's eyes lit up. Among all the materials he had fed Condemnation, quite a few naturally possessed various attributes.
Weapons forged from those materials would carry the corresponding attributes.
Yet Condemnation still hadn't possessed any attributes.
So its quality had to reach Gold Tier before it could retain attributes.
"In that case..."
Lin An immediately took out a crystal core the size of a fingertip.
Once Sin Beasts reached the Gold Realm, crystal cores would form inside their bodies, which could be used to refine pills or equipment.
The one in his hand was the crystal core from the Thunder Griffin, containing the power of lightning.
"After fusing this crystal core into Condemnation, it should gain the lightning attribute, right?"
With that thought, Lin An began the fusion.
[Would you like to consume 1,000 attribute points to fuse the lightning crystal core (Gold Tier) into Condemnation?]
"Yes."
Although this fusion required considerably more attribute points, Lin An could still afford it.
[Fusion successful!]
Hum...
Immediately afterward, Lin An saw the crystal core turn into a bolt of lightning and surge straight into Condemnation. At the same time, a gleam of lightning appeared on the blade of the previously unremarkable Condemnation.
[Condemnation]: Gold Tier, bound, unlimited growth, indestructible. A treasured saber formed by fusing multiple materials, possessing armor-piercing and tearing effects. Deals additional lightning damage.
Lin An smiled and gripped the hilt. As his spiritual power poured into Condemnation, he immediately felt that his spiritual power could be directly converted into lightning attacks.
"Good, very good. My combat strength has increased again."
Lin An nodded in satisfaction. Then, with a thought, another fiery-red crystal core appeared in his hand.
It was the Flame Hell Dragon Lizard's crystal core, with the fire attribute.
"Can it only absorb one attribute, or is there no limit to the attributes it can absorb?"
If it could absorb multiple attributes, that meant he would have more ways to attack in the future.
He acted on the thought. Condemnation had the indestructible trait anyway. Even if he failed in the end, at worst, its quality would reset to zero.
He had no shortage of resources or attribute points anyway. He could simply start over.
Lin An placed the Flame Hell Dragon Lizard's crystal core against Condemnation, and a prompt appeared.
[Would you like to consume 1,000 attribute points to fuse the lightning crystal core (Gold Tier) into Condemnation?]
"Yes."
[Fusion successful!]
Hum...
Lin An saw a blaze rise from Condemnation before subsiding again.
Gripping the hilt and sensing it carefully, he discovered two orbs of energy within Condemnation, one lightning and one fire, neither interfering with the other.
Delight appeared on Lin An's face.
It really could absorb multiple attributes.
Condemnation now possessed both lightning and fire attributes.
"Can it absorb even more attributes?"
With that thought, Lin An picked up a piece of mystic ice iron and successfully fused it in after spending a thousand attribute points.
The two energy orbs inside Condemnation became three.
"There really is no limit."
Lin An took a deep breath. He felt this was the true strength of a weapon spirit embryo.
Not only did it have unlimited growth potential, it could also absorb unlimited attributes.
Ordinary weapons couldn't accommodate multiple attributes, especially mutually opposing ones like ice and fire. The slightest mistake could cause the weapon to shatter.
But Condemnation was different. Its indestructible trait meant that even conflicting attributes couldn't destroy it.
"In that case, I'll help myself."
With a sweep of Lin An's hand, a large quantity of Gold Tier materials appeared.
[You consumed 1,000 attribute points and successfully fused heavenly spirit wood (Gold Tier) into Condemnation. Condemnation's quality improved slightly, and it gained the wood attribute.] [You consumed 1,000 attribute points and successfully fused purple gold (Gold Tier) into Condemnation. Condemnation's quality improved slightly, and it gained the metal attribute.] [You consumed 1,000 attribute points and successfully fused an earth crystal core (Gold Tier) into Condemnation. Condemnation's quality improved slightly, and it gained the earth attribute.] [You consumed 1,000 attribute points and successfully fused mystic yang wind sand (Gold Tier) into Condemnation. Condemnation's quality improved slightly, it gained the wind attribute, and its fire attribute was strengthened.]
As materials continued to fuse into it one after another, Condemnation gained more and more attributes.
Lin An also discovered that fusing in materials with the same attribute could increase the power of Condemnation's additional attributes.
After he poured in a full thirty thousand attribute points, Condemnation's quality rose again.
[Your Condemnation's quality has increased, reaching Platinum Rank.] [Condemnation]: Platinum Rank, bound, unlimited growth, indestructible. A treasured saber formed by fusing multiple materials, possessing armor-piercing and tearing effects. Additional attributes: lightning, wind, metal, wood, fire, earth, ice.
A full seven attributes. Lin An gripped Condemnation, and as his spiritual power flowed into it, the different attributes began switching rapidly.
As long as he wished it, Condemnation would convert his spiritual power into different attributes to attack his target.
"Of the seven attributes, fire and metal are the strongest. The former has a burning effect, while the latter can enhance the armor-piercing effect."
Lin An nodded in satisfaction. Unfortunately, he still couldn't activate multiple attributes at once. Either his cultivation realm was too low, or Condemnation's quality still wasn't high enough.
"It's Platinum Rank now. I'll stop feeding it for the time being. Although I have quite a few Platinum Rank materials, if I keep feeding it like this, I definitely won't have enough attribute points."
Lin An glanced at his attribute points. He had 96,648 left, and he still needed those points to learn Platinum Rank cultivation techniques.
"I'll leave it at that for now. Platinum Rank Condemnation is enough for me. If its quality is too high, that would actually be a bad thing."
With that thought, Lin An put Condemnation away. Then, with a sweep of his hand, all twelve Platinum Rank cultivation techniques appeared.
