Chapter 59: The Palace of Trayastrimsa
"Just as the grandmaster said," Yu Yuan said respectfully, "Zhou Xin and the other three martial uncles have tried many times, and even sought the help of the forge officer Wu Wenhua, but none could carve the spiritual runes into the magical treasures."
Golden Mother Jin Ling replied with a faint smile, "Translating Supernatural Spells into spiritual runes is quite an exquisite idea, but it is not entirely novel. You call it spiritual runes, but in reality, it shares some similarities with the art of talismans."

Golden Mother Jin Ling continued, "However, to then engrave these spiritual runes into magical treasures, that idea is indeed good and truly difficult, and different from the way of talismans."
"Please enlighten me, grandmaster," Yu Yuan respectfully requested.
"This is the Path of Artifact Refining, not my area of expertise," said Golden Mother Jin Ling, "But if I am not mistaken, the engraving of spiritual runes may require the use of restrictions."
"Restrictions? That’s a method of formations," Yu Yuan said in surprise. "I have heard from my master before that formation restrictions can be used to refine Spiritual Treasures and supreme treasures."
"Indeed," Golden Mother Jin Ling nodded slightly. "Yet in this realm, there are very few who are proficient in this art.
