Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 236 Refining Artifacts
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

In the empty hall, the only sound left was the white-haired boy slapping himself hard, echoing loudly in the hall.

Lin Qing couldn't help but glance at the young man whose mouth was bleeding.

He was just being straightforward, but he wouldn't hit himself in public like that, right?

"Mr. Jingguang."

The black-clothed girl next to him transmitted the message, "Saville was picked up by Ms. Caslock in the depths of the Void Sea. When she found him, although he was a Star God, he didn't remember anything, like a blank sheet of paper. However, he was unruly by nature, so Ms. Caslock used this method to teach him. We suspect that he may have come from a level 2.9 civilization, and perhaps he is also a test for the disciples of the Holy Land. Does Mr. Jingguang know him?"

"I don't know him." Lin Qing told the truth.

Losing all memory, is this a test?

However, it is said that level 2.9 civilizations also have a training method that turns geniuses into mortals, or even reincarnates them and throws them into backward civilizations, so it is understandable that their memories are obscured.

"Compared to this fake Holy Land genius, am I a little too normal..." Lin Qing couldn't help but think to himself.

He didn't think too much about it and immediately began to prepare to refine the artifact.

"Ms. Fei Yan."

Lin Qing said, "Then I will refine a life-related artifact that I am good at. It only requires the most common life-related void materials."

The materials required for the refining formula of each artifact are not very important. Anyway, these materials only need to be refined into the most essential essence. As long as the faction is correct and the purity of the essence is sufficient, alternative materials can be selected at will.

What is important is the way in which the mystery of space is integrated into the process of the divine nature taking shape. This is the most important secret.

Only in this way can the condensed artifact fit the universe more perfectly and resonate more strongly with the origin of the universe.

Therefore, it would be meaningless even if other star gods knew the material formula.

Moreover, the ratio of various materials is not fixed, which requires adjustment based on experience and on-the-spot reaction.

"Everything has been prepared for you. Let's go to the artifact workshop." The girl in black nodded slightly.

……

The Artifact Workshop is a place specifically used to refine artifacts for the Star God.

"The construction cost of this artifact workshop is not low."

The black-clothed girl introduced casually, "In order to avoid any influence when refining divine tools, the most important thing is to have a stable space and to perfectly preserve the refined essence. In these two aspects, this divine tool workshop has already achieved the best."

Then, she waved her hand and took out pieces of life-related materials from the void in her body, and they landed on the stone platform beside her.

Although these life-related void materials are the most common ones and can only be used to refine single-color artifacts, each one is worth at least tens of thousands of void coins. A thousand of them are estimated to be worth tens of millions of void coins in total.

"Okay, this is one thousand units of life-related void materials. Just concentrate on refining them. No one will bother you."

After the girl in black left the materials, she left the workshop and went outside.

The tall grey-haired lady 'Caslock' and her students, as well as a group of high-ranking members of the board of directors, were also watching outside the workshop.

“This workshop is really good.”

Lin Qing took a look and without wasting any time, he started to refine the artifact immediately.

Three steps to refine a divine weapon:

Extract the essence, condense the void, and communicate with the universe.

Each of these three steps can only be accomplished by a Star God.

"This is about enough..."

Lin Qing casually pulled out a small portion of the life-related void material, estimating that he could extract at least one hundred units of essence, which was theoretically enough to refine a hundred divine weapons.

For a divine device that can communicate with the universe and resonate with it to the greatest extent, it only needs to extract the essence of one unit.

No matter how many more there are, it will not make the artifact more powerful, it is just a pure waste.

He just didn't want to waste time, so he prepared the essence of a hundred artifacts in advance.

"Divine fire."

Lin Qing's heart moved, and a huge ball of strange red flame condensed in front of his eyes. It seemed as if there was a life spirit in it. It suddenly turned into a beast, then into a little man, and then into flowers and plants. It appeared and disappeared, jumped unsteadily, and one could even hear a faint laughter coming from it.

This is the sacred fire of the Life System Star God.

With this divine fire, one can refine all things and extract the root essence belonging to the life faction.

Although the essence contained in these ordinary life-type void materials is not of high purity, it is enough to be used to refine single-color artifacts.

"Refining."

Lin Qing's mind moved, and the one hundred pieces of life-related void materials on the platform next to him flew over immediately, and the divine fire of life immediately enveloped these materials.

However, these void materials did not change at all.

This is also normal.

Normally, it takes at least several years to fully extract the essence of a material.

Fortunately, he had fused a trace of the blood of the Void God Clan, so even with such a huge divine fire, the speed at which energy was replenished could keep up with the speed of consumption.

……

Outside the Artifact Workshop, the council members, the gray-haired woman 'Caslock', and her students were all silently observing Lin Qing's every move.

"A hundred copies?"

"Is he planning to extract a hundred units of life essence at the same time?"

"Does he have such a huge energy reserve?"

"Mr. Luo Gu also specially engraved three kinds of holy words that can increase energy reserves, but he can only refine twelve units at the same time."

"It seems...his bloodline genes are very powerful?"

The senior members of the council were all a little surprised.

The girl in black was much calmer.

She was the only one present who knew that the other party was a genius from the Holy Land. As a genius cultivated by a transcendent 2.9-level civilization, it was normal for him to have such ability.

The tall gray-haired woman, Caslock, suddenly said, "He is very confident that he can make a divine weapon with a hundred materials."

"Why did the teacher say that?" the white-haired boy behind her asked puzzledly.

"He maintains such a huge divine fire, yet he is still able to do it with ease. This is obviously not his limit."

Caslock said slowly, "In order to avoid trouble when refining a divine weapon, one would normally maintain the divine fire at its maximum level and extract more essence to refine more divine weapons. But he seemed to think that one hundred portions would be enough to successfully refine, so he only prepared one hundred portions?"

The white-haired boy was stunned and said, "The success rate is more than one percent? Is this true..."

If the success rate can reach 1/1000 or 2/1000, it is considered an excellent level. If it is 1/100 or 2/1000, then one can be called a master of refining.

"You'll know if you keep watching." Caslock said softly.

In the blink of an eye, five years have passed.

In the artifact workshop, only a few colorful essences remained of the one hundred pieces of void materials, forming a liquid-like fluid that flowed slowly in the void, crystal clear.

"It's done."

Lin Qingwei breathed a sigh of relief, retracted the divine fire, and immediately began to activate the divine nature. Through the true nature of the void that he mastered, he pried open the mysteries of space, integrated a trace of spatial power into these essences, and began to condense the appearance of a divine weapon.

This process requires full concentration, so now we can only do it one piece at a time.

The other ninety-nine units of life essence were immediately stored in the frozen depths of the void in this artifact workshop.

Fortunately, this step of solidification mainly depends on experience and takes a very short time.

In just a few days, the embryonic form of a divine weapon has emerged. However, now it is only an embryo and cannot resonate with the universe. Apart from its self-repair properties, it has nothing special about it.

Outside the Artifact Workshop.

"Ms. Caslock." The black-clothed girl couldn't help but ask, "The embryo is done. What do you think of his skills?" Caslock was silent for a moment before saying, "Where did you find this person? Such skills must have been honed through countless refinings... If I'm not mistaken, he should be a genius from the Holy Land, right?"

"You guessed it right." The girl in black smiled, "It is indeed true."

“I’ve at least heard of the Star Gods who are good at refining weapons in the Void Sea.”

Caslock shook his head slightly and said, "I have never even heard of this Jingguang, but he has such skills. It is obvious that he came from the three transcendent holy places. It is those three holy places that are difficult for us to understand."

She looked at Lin Qing and praised softly, "What a skill! No wonder he hasn't transformed into a void creature yet. I'm afraid his mind is focused on refining equipment."

Inside the workshop.

"last step."

Lin Qingwei heaved a sigh of relief, looked at the embryo of the artifact, and immediately began to use the divine power to communicate with the universe for the embryo of this artifact.

This step is the simplest, but also the one with the highest failure rate.

Luck is important to success.

"I did the first two steps perfectly. This step is just pure luck..."

Lin Qing was also very nervous.

Although this was his first time refining a divine weapon, he had refined it countless times in his memories of the future, so his skills were completely perfect.

It can be said that he has reached the pinnacle in terms of personal performance.

The rest is up to luck.

Judging from the memories of the future, the success rate of his final step in refining the artifact - communicating with the universe - is about 1.1%.

This is the success rate calculated after countless successes.

The success rate of communicating with the universe is somewhat similar to the guaranteed probability of a lottery. As long as the first two steps are done perfectly, and the number of failures in the third step accumulates to a certain level of success, success will be inevitable.

——This is also Lin Qing’s unique discovery.

"Ninety times."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, "After failing ninety times in a row, the 91st time will definitely succeed!"

He immediately began to activate his divine nature to communicate with the universe for this artifact embryo.

"Om..."

I saw a little bit of light emerging in the void, surrounding the surface of the artifact embryo, just waiting for the arrival of the great cosmic will, and then it would be able to immediately merge into the embryo and turn it into a real artifact.

This step is very quick, success is success, failure is failure.

Just a dozen minutes later——

The dots of light surrounding the surface of the embryo suddenly shook slightly and disappeared without a trace.

The organ embryo seemed to be hit by the backlash and was shattered into nothingness.

"Failed."

Lin Qing was very calm. He continued to move out the second portion of life essence and integrated it into the power of space again, condensing it into a shape and communicating with the universe.

The second time, still failed.

He continued to refine.

The third time, the fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time...

Failure again and again.

Until the ninety-first time——

"boom!"

In the void, a vast and boundless will seemed to awaken, as if it had sensed the embryo of the instrument refined by Lin Qing and swept over quietly.

Then, the surrounding dots of light began to quickly merge into the organ embryo, making it become more and more dazzling, and its aura became stronger and stronger, as if it was the incarnation of the origin of the universe, extremely dazzling.

Finally, all the light and aura were completely restrained.

I saw a two-handed sword floating quietly in the air, and the transcendent pressure released naturally was enough to make everyone look sideways.

"It's done." Lin Qing had expected this, so there was naturally no smile on his face.

I can only say that his luck is really average.

Even if the first two steps are perfect, there is only a 1.1% success rate. If it were someone like Qi Lingxiao, a lucky guy with explosive luck, maybe he would succeed in one try?
"I must improve my luck when I have the chance in the future..." Lin Qing thought helplessly.

At this time, senior members of the Wanxing Group’s board of directors and others also came in.

"Haha, it worked."

“The success rate is so high?”

"He is indeed a genius in refining weapons."

The senior members of the board of directors were all extremely happy, and the way they looked at Lin Qing was completely different.

This kind of artifact refining skill can be further improved in the future as long as the godhood is transformed. It will be no problem to refine three-color or four-color artifacts. The higher the level of the godhood, the higher the level of the artifact that can be refined!
If one could refine a seven-color artifact, he could definitely be called a "craftsman god"!
This kind of existence is not only extremely powerful, but can also refine terrifying seven-color artifacts. Looking at the entire Void Sea, even the master of the secret realm of the 2.8 level civilization has to be respectful when facing such an existence!

In the eyes of the top executives of Wanxing Group, Lin Qing now obviously has the potential to refine high-level artifacts.

Having a divine nature does not mean that one has a talent for refining equipment.

There are not many star gods with seven-color divine nature who can refine seven-color artifacts.

It can only be said that the godhead only has the ability to refine weapons, but it also requires a talent for refining weapons.

"Your weapon refining skills are really strong."

The tall gray-haired woman came over and said softly, "Judging from your appearance, you should not be too old. You are indeed a genius in refining weapons. Your refining skills are almost perfect. It's a pity that you have bad luck. You should find a way to improve your luck in the future."

Lin nodded slightly.

He wanted to, but he had to find someone favored by the universe who was worthy of his fate.

Besides, he is not strong enough now, so many things are inconvenient for him.

Fortunately... the minimum number of successful refining is 91 times. Although it is a bit troublesome, it is acceptable.

"Mr. Jingguang."

The black-clothed girl walked over with a smile, handed a contract to Lin Qing, and said, "My Wanxing Group is willing to sign a cooperation agreement with you. You can take a look at this contract."

Feeling the unique atmosphere of this contract, Lin Qing couldn't help but be slightly surprised and said, "Five-star contract?"

"Correct."

The black-clothed girl nodded and said, "Five-star contracts can only be produced in the ruins of level three civilizations, but you are a Star God, so it is naturally worth it for my Wanxing Group to take out a five-star contract and sign a contract with you."

Lin Qing understood what she meant.

A four-star contract cannot bind a void-level clergyman, because a void-level clergyman is a four-star cosmic citizen.

Behind the Wanxing Group is the Holy Lord, the master of the secret realm of the White Tower civilization.

Once the Lord of the Secret Realm wants to breach the contract unilaterally, the four-star contract will not be able to bind him to punishment. The Star God who has signed a contract with the Wanxing Group will naturally not trust such a contract.

Therefore, only a five-star contract can achieve absolute trust.

"Okay, I'll sign it."

Lin Qing read the contract and found that the rules were very loose. It only stipulated that 'ten single-color artifacts must be refined every ten thousand years', and all other aspects were very free.

Naturally, he agreed on the spot.
