Zuo Dao Becomes a God Starting from American Horror

Chapter 249 Basic Refining Manual, Myriad Treasures Shattering Void Technique, Space Ring
Just like getting a Guan Gong tattoo, you have to be someone who works in a related industry and has a strong enough destiny to handle it before you can get it.

It is further divided into categories such as whether to open or not to open the eyes, whether it will cause pressure on the body, and whether it will shorten lifespan or luck. There are quite a few taboos.

Overall, it's a kind of unorthodox path that's neither high nor low. If used properly, it might have miraculous effects, but it's a risky and dangerous path with an uncertain future. It can't compare to proper cultivation methods.

"Tattoos? We can try them out later and see what's so magical about them. If they don't work, we'll demote them to the soldier level."

Because its exact strength is unknown.

After devising a solution based on the existing explanations, Louis turned his attention to the last spell—the Basic Refining Manual.

As expected, this was the Divine Lord's own notes, which detailed how to refine artifacts, what details to pay attention to, how to modify and maintain them, and the refining of some basic semi-magical artifacts and low-grade magical artifacts, etc.

It can be considered a specially annotated introductory material for the weapon crafting industry.

But this very book brought Louis great joy.

Compared to the two previous methods with uncertain strengths and lackluster results, this weapon-refining manual, though basic, is very useful!
This is exactly what I desperately need right now.

Although Louis has followed the steps in the Golden Page to create all six magical artifacts over the years, and even upgraded many of them with magical restrictions, he still doesn't know how to proceed with the next step or how to refine the artifacts.

With this, Louis will have made up for his lack of foundation in the path of a weapon refiner, and the ability to refine legendary spatial artifacts should not be far off.

"Let me see what's inside."

"Hmm, it can unleash the power within the materials and refine them into semi-magical artifacts, such as peach wood swords or Bagua mirrors."

"A spatial artifact... it really exists, the lowest level storage bag, with triple magical restrictions?"

"Hmm? There's even a way to transform treasures into magical artifacts?"

The more Louis looked at it, the happier he became.

Don't underestimate this basic weapon-refining manual; it's a special version annotated by the Divine Lord, containing many unique techniques.

For example, methods to refine materials into semi-magical artifacts by stimulating their inherent properties, one-time life-or-death methods to unleash the full power of a magical artifact in a short period of time, and methods to forcibly modify special rare materials or other people's treasures...

In those sects, this is hardly considered basic; each one is clearly a secret technique!
It can only be said that the level of the Divine Lord is indeed high. He is at least not an ordinary immortal. Anything he casually reveals is a treasure that human sects crave.

"Hmm, this is interesting."

Louis couldn't wait to start experimenting. He had been stuck at this mediocre level for several years, but now he could finally establish a solid foundation.

He casually picked up a peach wood sword, because the magic spell given at the beginning of the Civil Code—peach wood artifacts—means that anything Louis made of peach wood would have a certain protective effect against evil.

However, this was merely a simple utilization of its properties. Without Louis's permission, these peach wood products could not be used effectively in other people's hands. It can be said that they were subject to many limitations and their power was weak.

And now...

Louis channeled the fire elemental power generated from the Five Elements Technique—the Heart of Fire—into the peach wood sword.

hum! !

A red light instantly enveloped the entire peach wood sword like a thin film, radiating a scorching heat. Inside the sword, at subtle angles, its structure was undergoing a unique transformation.

It only took five minutes.

A freshly made red peach wood sword was thus completed.

"There are no legal restrictions, but it can absorb external energy and transform it into warding-off evil power, and it can even store it."

Without any magical prohibitions, it cannot be considered a true magical artifact. Its power is still weak for Louis, but it is already extremely threatening to those evil spirits.

Ordinary evil spirits, without any special methods, would probably be reduced to ashes with a single sword strike.

And this was just a casual piece of work by Louis in five minutes.

Louis then tried other things and found that, in theory, all inanimate objects could be transformed into semi-magical artifacts, but due to the different materials, the difficulty and the final product varied greatly.

Gold and wood are the most suitable materials for transforming into semi-magical artifacts, while stones are simply a waste of time.

"It's alright, it's not very useful to me. Wait, no, a semi-magical artifact is still a magical artifact. If that's the case, then..."

Louis immediately experimented with another method from the notes: a one-time method to trigger the magic artifact to explode, or in short, magic artifact self-destruction.

Every magical artifact is precious, and every magical restriction contains powerful energy, making the artifact sturdy, giving it special abilities, and amplifying the power generated when it self-destructs.

However, due to the restrictions, destroying a magical artifact would be very difficult unless a large amount of magical power was poured into it. But rather than doing that, using that magical power to attack would be more effective than forcing the artifact to self-destruct.

Furthermore, if the artifact belongs to oneself, its destruction would also cause damage to one's mind and spirit. The combination of these two factors leads to the artifact self-destructing as the final means of self-destruction.

However, the self-destruction method in the notes is unusual; it can make a magical artifact self-destruct without requiring much magic power.

Now, Louis can use his magic to refine ordinary objects into semi-magical artifacts, so can semi-magical artifacts self-destruct?
Louis quickly found his answer.

boom! ! !
The explosion inside the basement was as violent as the detonation of several hand grenades.

Numerous fragments of rock and shrapnel capable of blasting through human skulls were ejected, but these fragments were blocked by a thin membrane made of silver threads, and finally, they were all contained within a silver sphere.

Flames, sounds and lights, rubble...

It shimmers in the translucent silver sphere, and I must say, it looks quite nice.

Louis's eyes were burning.

It seems he's developed an interesting and powerful technique.

If, and I mean if, a large amount of magical power were used to forcibly transform a portion of the separated land into a semi-magical artifact, and then detonated...

"Gulp, give me some time, and I might be able to deploy a large number of missiles or even nuclear weapons myself."

The prerequisite is sufficient magical power, and there are still some problems, such as the range and intensity of Louis's divine sense, but these can be overcome in the future.

Even the issue of magic power can be resolved now; the evil spirits stored inside Louis's stomach can provide magic power like a perpetual motion machine.

"The self-destruction of the magical artifact will not only cause physical damage, but also bring fire-attribute magic to break through and restrain those mysterious creatures. This will be a powerful move."

"Let's call it the Myriad Treasures Shattering Void Technique."

Louis even felt that this thing had the potential for further development, such as mass-producing real magical artifacts in the future, even if they were just magical artifacts with a single layer of magical restriction, and also the special characteristics of magical artifacts, etc...

"It seems I need to refine more magical artifacts in my spare time. However, I need to refine a spatial magical artifact first, otherwise it will be inconvenient to carry around."

The most basic storage bag requires quite a few items, but given the size of Louis's forces, most of them can be gathered. The only problem is that it needs a main material with spatial properties.

"Tsk, it seems I can only have my men search for it slowly. Hopefully, this world will have materials related to space."

"But I can do it this way too."

Louis took out the dimensional stone box that had been stored here when he moved with him; it was the place where the Moth God had been hiding when he captured her.

Louis had investigated the stone box before and found it to be a special space similar to a blessed land or a divine realm, but it was already very dilapidated and would probably be destroyed in about five years.

The outer stone box is merely an external manifestation, but it undoubtedly possesses spatial attributes.

Louis began experimenting with another technique from the journal, such as forcibly modifying and seizing treasures or magical artifacts that did not belong to him.

Louis called it the art of plunder.

A large amount of magical power was poured into it, and the stone box, the size of two human heads, began to twist at that moment, but no crack appeared; only a hazy white light permeated the air.

Louis frowned. This process required not only a lot of magical power, but also a lot of divine thought, that is, the power of the Yin spirit.

Accompanied by extensive renovations.

The stone box had shrunk to the size of a fist, but it wasn't enough. Louis's divine sense flew through the dimensional space of the stone box, into that rocky cave, and quickly found its core: a white hexagonal crystal about half the size of a fist.

A large amount of divine thought invaded it.

Gradually, it became stained with Louis's "color".

outside.

Louis was already sitting cross-legged, the stone box in his hand shrunk to the size of a thumb, looking like a gray stone.

Time passed bit by bit.

The gray stone suddenly changed, transforming its shape as if it were under some kind of control, and began to resemble the shape of a ring.

soon.

A gray ring, engraved with mysterious patterns, appeared on Louis's hand.

Louis opened his eyes at that moment.

His eyes were full of exhaustion.

His eyes were even covered with tiny blood vessels, a clear sign of his exhaustion.

This thing is not simple, or rather, what Louis is trying to do is too difficult. If it were just a simple matter of seizing control, his current strength would be more than enough.

But modifying it would be difficult.

Fortunately, Louis possessed extraordinary talent and ultimately succeeded, transforming it into a ring and connecting it to his mind, thus making it a unique new magical artifact.

However, the space inside still only has a lifespan of less than five years, and this problem needs to be solved in the future.

Now, Louis has obtained a spatial artifact that can store living people, with a space the size of a football field.

"Now, we can store a lot of magical artifacts."

This gave the Myriad Treasures Shattering Void Technique even more room to be used.

Louis let out a breath and rubbed his temples to ease the discomfort in his head.

"I have learned about all three spells. The Basic Magic Tool Manual is undoubtedly the most practical right now. I will refine a batch of semi-magical tools and store them after I take a break."

"Other tattooing techniques and spirit summoning techniques may seem a bit useless, but we still need to study them. Maybe they will bring some surprises."

"Let's try the summoning spell first. With my godfather involved, progress should be easier. Besides, it's been a while since I've spoken with him."

"Oh, and there's also England. We can't miss out on those two big fish, Varak and Malthus. We need to keep a close eye on any news from there."

"..."

After sorting through these things in his mind, Louis stretched and walked upstairs.

The members who had been waiting outside went inside and began repairing the basement.

Upon entering the villa, Tommy and the others were still patrolling, but they would occasionally come over to check on Jason, even though they couldn't get into the room.

Louis glanced over.

The room was getting colder and colder.

Thin ice covered the entire corridor, and the door was completely frozen by a large block of ice, as were the walls next to it.

Louis, who had just emerged from the basement, stood in front of the door.

Looking at the door, Louis seemed to already see the monstrous creature about to be completed behind it, and a smile appeared on his face.

"The Corpse-Nourishing Coffin and Jason's special corpse are truly a match made in heaven. It has actually advanced to the eighth level of magical restriction on its own?"

"This is enough to nurture a guardian deity."

"Given its unique characteristics, perhaps it can rival a Yang God in combat power right from its birth?"

Having never witnessed a true Yang God, Louis could only speculate in this way.

Regardless, once Jason is born, he will undoubtedly be an extremely powerful being; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand Louis's previous great apprehension and the long-term investment he has made.

"The Blood River Pearl with twelve perfect layers, the Myriad Illusions Robe and Puppet Hand with ten layers of magical restrictions, the Corpse-Nourishing Coffin with eight layers of magical restrictions, and the Soul-Suppressing Ruler and Centipede Bee Bag with three layers of magical restrictions."

"Unbeknownst to us, the six magical artifacts have come so far on the path to the lower grade of perfection."

Normal cultivators would never have so many magical artifacts, nor could they afford the costs of upgrading them. Louis's six magical artifacts were already quite remarkable.

In fact, Louis himself did not expect that he had never intended to perfect all the magical artifacts from the beginning.

This place can only be described as "a land of outstanding people and beautiful scenery".

Blood nourishes the Blood River Pearl, countless monsters nourish the Myriad Illusions Robe, demons nourish the Puppet Master...

"Ah~"

Louis yawned.

The fatigue in his eyes became increasingly obvious.

Since breaking through to the Pure Yin Realm, no, the Yin Spirit Realm, Louis had not felt this tired in a long time.

Shake his head.

Louis returned to the spacious room on the second floor.

She collapsed onto the soft bed and quickly drifted off to sleep.

It was at this very moment.

The long-awaited extreme drowsiness seemed to have subtly altered his soul.

The snoring was faint.

……

Just as Louis was forging the weapon.

England.

London, suburbs.

In a basement, hiss...whoosh...

His heavy breathing was particularly noticeable in the darkness.

suddenly.

A sliver of light shone into the basement, revealing a square exit overhead. A middle-aged man wearily dragged a female corpse inside and kicked it in.

It was just kicked in.

A terrifying, inhuman roar resounded.

A pale hand with sharp claws swiftly dragged the female corpse into the darkness.
