Chapter 492 - 239: Another Spirit Pet, Shadow Radiance Stone, and Broken Treasure
Suddenly.
He thought of the previous information mentioned.
It seemed Cao Xiang’er’s child had quite a talent.
In other words.
Brother Fuu was actually born of Cao Xiang’er.
If that is so.
Why was Meizhen so indifferent towards Brother Qiang?
He remembered when Brother Fan was found to have the Five Spirit Roots, Meizhen was quite concerned for a while, and should have cared more for Brother Qiang, who lacked Spirit Root Talent.
"Husband, there is a difference between immortals and mortals. According to the clan’s rules, Brother Qiang will be sent to a mundane village after he comes of age. In that case, it’s better for him to adapt to this disparity earlier."
Liuu Meizhen spoke very calmly.
Fu Changsheng thought about himself, in several decades, having to send off his own child, and found it hard to accept.
After all.
This was his own flesh and blood.
He sat in the room for a while before leaving.
Liuu Meizhen watched his departing figure, murmuring something quietly, unclear what she said.
.....
Fu Changsheng returned to his Secret Chamber and sat down.
Contemplating many things.
His gaze fell on the panel:
"With system assistance, I refuse to believe there’s no way to nurture a Spiritual Root."
After taking a deep breath.
Fu Changsheng resolved to find an opportunity to let Brother Qiang embark on the path of cultivation.
Back then, he helped his elder brother regain his spirit. Now for Brother Qiang, with his higher cultivation realm and broader resources, there are more paths available.
The previously blocked thoughts became clear suddenly.
He patted his storage bag, and with a flash of Dawn Light, scrap iron fell into his palm.
Hesitating for a moment.
Fu Changsheng made a Sword Point gesture with his finger.
With a drip sound.
A drop of fresh blood fell onto the scrap iron.
"Eh, no reaction?"
Could it be that he was overthinking?
Fu Changsheng shook his head, intending to put away the scrap iron and let Uncle Yu have a look. With his experience, he should be able to recognize what it was.
Just then.
Buzz!
A flicker of black light emerged from the scrap iron.
Immediately after.
The fresh blood that dripped into it was instantly consumed:
"There’s hope!"
Being able to consume fresh blood.
Most likely, it’s some kind of Magical Artifact.
However.
After the scrap iron absorbed the drop of fresh blood, it showed no further reaction. Despite using ordinary Sacrificial Refinement Techniques, he gained nothing:
"Is it possible that the blood isn’t enough?"
According to some ancient books.
The stronger the Magical Artifact, the more blood is required during sacrificial refinement, sometimes even needing Essence Blood as a sacrifice:
"Let’s try again."
Fu Changsheng instantly had a Sword Light slice open his wrist, and a stream of fresh blood dripped into the scrap iron, which trembled slightly, and black light surged, swallowing all the blood:
"This... could it be a fragment of an Artifact?"
Even if it were a Spiritual Artifact.
Generally, swallowing that much blood should have been enough.
But it seemed this scrap iron was far from satisfied.
If it truly were a fragment of an Artifact, that would be an enormous fortune.
Artifacts are treasures that only Golden Core Masters can possess.
"I’ve really struck gold!"
If it indeed were an Artifact fragment, ordinary refining methods couldn’t complete the recognition ceremony.
Currently, he didn’t have any cultivation path for refining Artifacts, and the "Seven-Aperture Treasure Refining Technique" he obtained from a system lottery only had the Dharma Artifact Chapter.
His gaze fell on the panel.
He still had five thousand Clan Contribution Points.
He could take a gamble, and if it didn’t work, completing the Artifact Chapter of the "Seven-Aperture Treasure Refining Technique" would be useful both for him and his clan.
Having made up his mind.
He immediately initiated the thought:
"Deduce the ’Seven-Aperture Treasure Refining Technique’"
Buzz!
The panel trembled.
A surge of yellow light moved, then the [Cultivation Technique Deduction] button lit up, and the next instant a succession of golden runes intertwined, completing the Spiritual Artifact Chapter of the "Seven-Aperture Treasure Refining Technique" with sixty-two runes.
"Not enough, continue!"
Fu Changsheng decided to take a gamble.
Buzz!
The panel vibrated intensely, and then golden light shone, and numerous complex golden runes appeared:
"Choose a treasure embryo in a Spiritual Land, seek refined materials as a foundation. The Spiritual Land, being where Qi gathers, like the Spirit Valley Cave.... with a sincere and genuine heart, use Spiritual Sense to probe the nature of the treasure embryo.... guide Spiritual Qi into the body, gather in the Dantian, transforming into Spiritual Fire. This Spiritual Fire nurtures the initial fire of the treasure embryo....."
As the deduction of the Artifact Chapter of the "Seven-Aperture Treasure Refining Technique" reached one-third, with a buzz, the panel trembled, all the complex golden runes trembled slightly, and then transformed into a golden stream of light, disappearing into the Sea of Divine Sense.
Deduction interrupted!
Fu Changsheng quickly looked at the panel.
Only to find the five thousand Clan Contribution Points had been completely used up: "This requires far too many Contribution Points."
It’s just the Sacrificial Refining Technique for an Artifact that requires this many Contribution Points; how many tens of thousands would the Purple Mansion Chapter of his main Cultivation Technique, "Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique," require:
"It seems I need to keep accumulating Clan Contribution Points!"
As soon as he had that thought.
A familiar mechanical voice echoed in his mind:
"Ding"
"You have provided the clan with a complete Spiritual Artifact Refining Technique, gaining two hundred Clan Contribution Points."
Soon after.
The Contribution Points on the panel instantly changed from zero to two hundred.
Fu Changsheng’s heart felt a little more at ease, having Contribution Points meant that in a crucial moment, he could still exchange for information.
"Phew"
Releasing a breath of impure air.
Fu Changsheng closed his eyes to ponder over the recently deduced "Seven-Aperture Treasure Refining Technique," notably, the Artifact Chapter had many more intricate runes, from early material selection to the preparation of the Sacrificial Refinement Array, which was incredibly complex. However, he was not aiming to completely refine an Artifact now, but for a simple sacrificial recognition.
He quickly went through it once.
His eyes brightened slightly:
"Fortunately, it includes the method for recognizing and refining an Artifact."
According to the text, refining an Artifact requires using one’s blood as a guide, selecting a place rich in Spiritual Qi to inscribe a Sacrificial Refining Array. Once the array is activated, one must then fuse their own Essence Blood and Mana, using specific Techniques to open the Artifact’s "Seven Apertures."
