Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 122 The Scripture of the Natal Spiritual Treasure

Therefore, it's unknown how many years it would take to fully repair the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

Su You touched the sect leader's star ring and left the area. The Dream Butterfly Mirror could only be repaired by itself; it couldn't interfere. At most, it could only try to provide more spirit ore to extract the essence.

Next, he inspected the various key hubs of the Dream Butterfly Sect. Many of these places had been destroyed back then, and some had lost their effectiveness over the long years.

The most powerful one is the Illusionary Dream Butterfly Array, which is still operational. This is an eighth-order array of the sect, and it can still operate to some extent. The trial illusions outside are formed by separating a trace of the array's power.

However, with the Dream Butterfly Mirror unable to operate on its own, this level of array was of little use to him.

After all, such a large formation would require a huge amount of spiritual energy to unleash its full power, and the spiritual energy in the small world within the Dream Butterfly Mirror is already very thin, only enough to maintain a few places in the sect with abundant spiritual energy.

This is because the energy core of the Dream Butterfly Mirror has been damaged, and even with the Dream Butterfly Mirror's self-repairing ability, it cannot repair the location of the energy core.

Su You had already visited the energy core; it was an enormous pool of primordial energy covered with mysterious patterns.

Unfortunately, it is no longer operational and cannot draw spiritual energy from the outside world. This has led to the continuous depletion of spiritual energy in the small world within the Dream Butterfly Mirror, and the entire small world has even shrunk by a hundred times.

Because its essence has been extracted to repair itself.

Su You glanced at the Yuan Qi pool and then lost interest. This level of crafting and creation was simply beyond his ability to repair.

Its complexity is millions of times greater than that of the original energy pool.

Now we can only think of other ways. After all, spiritual energy is an essential part of the Dream Butterfly Mirror's repair process. If there is a large amount of spiritual energy, its recovery speed will definitely be much faster. If the Yuan Qi Pool could still operate back then, the Dream Butterfly Mirror would have been completely repaired long ago.

"Now I can only go to the library to see if there's any other way. I should also take a quick look at the countless inheritances in the library to see if there's anything suitable for me." Su You's figure flashed and he returned to the library.

This time, he borrowed a general outline of the library, which provided detailed descriptions of all the books in the library and categorized them neatly.

This general outline is also a powerful mirror-type magic weapon, which Su You found very convenient to read.

This time, I spent a whole year quietly studying the classics.

Besides the general outline, he would borrow and read any other classic texts that interested him or that were useful to him.

The Secret Records of the Lingbao School, the Illustrated Compendium of Myriad Treasures, the Fundamental Laws of Lingbao, the Dream Butterfly Scripture, the Secret Methods of Lingbao Supernatural Powers...

The ancient books broadened Su You's horizons, and some of the techniques and secret arts within them were beyond his imagination—they were simply too powerful.

"This trip was absolutely worth it!" Su You couldn't help but exclaim.

This time, even if there are no other gains, or even if there is no Dream Butterfly Mirror, it doesn't matter, but these inherited techniques must be learned.

As one of the top sects in the Great Thousand World, the Dream Butterfly Sect possesses countless cultivation techniques and scriptures. He directly identified several techniques that perfectly matched the sect's requirements.

One type is the "Benming Lingbao Jing" (Scripture of the Primordial Spirit Treasure), a technique perfectly suited to the twin clones. He can rapidly improve his cultivation level without needing to practice.

For situations like the Twin Clone Technique, which requires a lot of research time and leaves little time for cultivation, this technique can be said to have perfectly solved the problem.

The purpose of this technique is to connect oneself with the sect's spiritual treasure. The stronger the natal magic treasure, the greater the feedback to oneself. As long as one continuously cultivates the natal magic treasure, one's cultivation level will improve rapidly.

As for how to cultivate one's natal spirit treasure, there are many secret techniques and supernatural abilities that can be used to quickly enhance it using rare and precious materials.

The other is the Dream Butterfly Sect's fundamental cultivation technique, the "Dream Butterfly Heavenly Scripture," which perfectly complements the Dream Butterfly Mirror. It is a powerful illusion technique. The twin clones, having fused with the Mirage Dragon, are very suitable for cultivating this type of technique. Moreover, only by cultivating this technique can one truly master the Dream Butterfly Mirror.

Even if one cannot master the Dream Butterfly Mirror in a short time, one can indirectly master it by refining the Sect Leader's Ring.

After all, the starlight imprint left on his soul will definitely be removed once he absorbs all the soul power within it. At that time, he will no longer be able to control the Sect Leader Star Ring, and he will need to refine it himself.

Both of these techniques are direct descendants of the Dream Butterfly Sect and cannot be taught to anyone who is not a direct descendant.

Among them, the "Benming Lingbao Jing" is even more precious. It is the fundamental cultivation method of the Lingbao Sect, and even the Mengdie Sect only cultivates it to the Nascent Soul stage.

This technique can only be practiced by those who demonstrate exceptional talent in weapon crafting. Once they reach the Nascent Soul stage, they will be sent back to the Lingbao Sect to become disciples and continue their training.

However, the "Dream Butterfly Heavenly Scripture" contains all the cultivation methods from the Qi Refining stage to the Tribulation Transcending stage, making it very complete.

Su You planned to have his twin clones cultivate two techniques simultaneously, since the "Benming Lingbao Scripture" would not conflict with other techniques when cultivated together.

Furthermore, those who cultivate the "Benming Lingbao Scripture" will eventually create their own cultivation methods, methods that are compatible with their own Benming Lingbao, so that they can be sent out to establish their own sects.

This is another way to advance your natal spirit treasure to the later stages.

After all, the world's rarest treasures are limited, so the Lingbao Sect took a different approach and created the art of borrowing treasures.

By simply refining the same magical artifact and cultivating the same techniques, one can borrow a portion of the power from their natal spiritual treasure.

When its owner dies, this natal magic weapon will be retrieved and absorbed by the natal spiritual treasure. This power, which is of the same origin and root, can be absorbed without any obstacles.

This can be considered a fair trade: one borrows power while alive and reaps the rewards after death.

This is also why the Lingbao Sect sends its disciples out to the outside world. After all, such a secret technique cannot be promoted within the Lingbao Sect. It can only be promoted when facing ordinary cultivators in the outside world.

Of course, if there are geniuses in weapon crafting among the disciples below, they should also be sent to the Lingbao Sect so that there can be a continuous stream of geniuses for innovation.

That's why, in the memories I saw countless precious lights soaring into the sky back then.

These are all disciples who came from the Lingbao Sect. They are on the path of cultivating their natal spiritual treasures. The power of each of their treasure lights is no weaker than that of the Dream Butterfly Mirror. Most of them are ninth-order magic treasures.

The Lingbao Sect's classification of magic weapons is very simple: one to nine ranks, with each realm corresponding to one rank.

The first rank corresponds to the Qi Refining Realm, the second rank corresponds to the Foundation Establishment Realm... the eighth rank corresponds to the Mahayana Realm, and the ninth rank corresponds to the Void Immortal Realm.

The Dream Butterfly Mirror is currently a low-grade ninth-tier magic weapon, and its full power is barely equivalent to that of an immortal.

Unfortunately, the founder of the Dream Butterfly Sect had already passed away millions of years ago. Although disciples later inherited the Dream Butterfly Mirror, they were never quite as compatible. Over millions of years, they only managed to barely advance from the eighth-grade upper level to the ninth-grade lower level.

Originally, this should have been an opportunity for the Dream Butterfly Sect to develop rapidly. After all, once the Dream Butterfly Mirror became a ninth-tier magic weapon, the chances of helping its disciples overcome tribulations would greatly increase. Once a Void Immortal appeared in the sect, its power would definitely continue to expand.

However, they suffered a devastating blow. Su You greatly admired the Lingbao Sect's branch system, which allowed disciples to develop independently. If a disciple could transcend tribulation and become an immortal in the first generation, and cultivate their magic weapon to the ninth rank, they would have some potential to enter the immortal realm in the future.

If the tribulation fails, the magical treasures left behind can be nurtured by the disciples. Once nurtured to the ninth rank, they can help the disciples quickly overcome the tribulation.

Although using this method to transcend tribulation will result in a weaker immortality, it can continuously provide the sect with immortal-level power and also generate an extra ninth-tier magic weapon, which is naturally very good.

Unfortunately, they encountered an enemy, and Su You didn't know whether Lingbao Sect had escaped that calamity.

After all, the Lingbao Sect has a very strong backing in the Immortal Realm, so they shouldn't just watch it be wiped out.

However, the fact that no immortals from the celestial realm descended to seek help at that time suggests that the Lingbao Sect's influence in the celestial realm may have encountered some problems.

Of course, the fate of the Lingbao Sect was not of much concern to him. The only thing that might be related to him was the "Benming Lingbao Scripture".

After all, the Dream Butterfly Sect only has cultivation techniques up to the Nascent Soul stage, so we'll have to find a way to get our hands on them later.

After reading through a large number of Lingbao Sect's classic texts, Su You had an idea about how to refine the sect's spiritual treasures.

Flipping through the "Ten Thousand Treasures Atlas," one finds information on various magical treasures, most of which are ninth-tier treasures, all of which were gradually upgraded by disciples of the Lingbao Sect through the "Cultivation of the Natal Spiritual Treasure Scripture."

Unfortunately, there were no specific restrictions on weapon crafting.

Indeed, the weapon-refining methods of the Lingbao Sect are completely different from those of this world.

The inheritance he had previously received from the outside world was a weapon-refining inheritance that had been eliminated countless years ago. Chen Hao had no intention of revealing the inheritance of the Lingbao Sect.

After all, this method of refining weapons is quite different. It would be bad if a powerful being discovered it. Although it is only a small interface, we still need to be careful.

In Su You's world, weapon crafting requires numerous steps, including meticulously inscribing runes using combinations of different runes. Once crafted, the potential for further improvement is virtually nonexistent.

However, the Lingbao Sect had already combined countless runes together to form various restrictions.

Each restriction has become universal, so that a magical artifact can be quickly crafted simply by imprinting the restriction into the artifact.

Each lower-level restriction has a stronger restriction. As long as the magic weapon itself can withstand it, the number of restrictions inside the magic weapon can be gradually increased until it reaches its limit.

It is even possible to incorporate multiple combinations of restrictions.

Based on the quality of the restrictions, they can be divided into unranked, earthly, and heavenly restrictions.

A restriction of inferior quality can at most be upgraded to the level of a third-tier magic weapon.

The Earthly Fiend Restrictions are different; they can be upgraded from the first rank to the sixth rank, with a total of seventy-two restrictions, twelve restrictions for each rank.

Once the magic weapon is upgraded to the seventh rank, the seventy-two Earthly Fiend Restrictions can be transformed into Heavenly Gang Restrictions, which are also twelve per rank, and can be upgraded to the ninth rank at most.

Therefore, in addition to mastering the restrictions, the quality of materials is also very important when crafting magical artifacts.

The only thing Su You currently possesses is the method for crafting the Dream Butterfly Mirror, which contains a complete set of Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Restriction Techniques. He can easily improve his skills by simply following the steps.

However, he already possessed a ninth-tier Dream Butterfly Mirror, and he couldn't possibly go to the trouble of refining another Dream Butterfly Mirror, as that wouldn't fit his character.

The best option now is the Wizard Tower, since it still has the potential for further improvement. Although it is completely different from the magic weapon system, the Lingbao Sect also has secret methods for refining it.

The only difficulty is that if he wants to strengthen the Wizard Tower in the future, he must continuously integrate into the wizard system. Therefore, he still needs to keep learning how to refine weapons, and he also needs to create the corresponding Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiend Restrictions himself.

This is why only an unparalleled genius in weapon crafting is needed to cultivate the "Benming Lingbao Jing".

In the Lingbao Sect's "Ten Thousand Treasures Catalogue," all the sect's magical treasures are restrictions created by the sect's disciples.

There are several things that Su You urgently needs to resolve now.

The first thing is to find a way to provide more spiritual energy to the Dream Butterfly Mirror. He already has an idea for this: to use external energy pools.

Once a portion of the spiritual liquid has been stored, it can be sent inside.

Of course, this speed is definitely very slow, and Su You only has two ways to solve it.

The first method is to increase the number of energy pools, and the second method is to increase the absorption efficiency of the energy pools.

Neither of these methods is simple. After all, the energy pool is best located on a spiritual vein, so that it can convert spiritual energy the fastest and simplest way.

Su You currently only controls Luoxia Island, so he needs to continue expanding his power. Whether it's spending spirit stones to increase spiritual veins or conquering new territories himself, these are all things he can do.

As for increasing the absorption efficiency of the energy pool, that requires a higher level of wizarding inheritance.

This is another thing Su You needs to do, which is to raise his wizard level to the second tier as soon as possible.

Upon reaching the second tier, not only will one's strength be enhanced, but one will also gain access to higher levels of inheritance. At that time, one can not only solve the problem of the energy pool, but also further strengthen the Wizard Tower.

In this way, the wizard tower initially crafted can become an even more powerful natal spirit treasure.

Thirdly, it is necessary to raise the cultivation level of the twin clones to the Nascent Soul realm as soon as possible, so that they can receive the inheritance of the Danling Secret Realm as soon as possible.

At that time, not only will it increase a lot of wealth, but the resources within the Dream Butterfly Sect will also have a place to be put to use.

Su You was very interested in the Enlightenment Tea in the Danling Secret Realm, as it was of great help in comprehending various inheritances.

Especially now that he wants to conduct in-depth research on the inheritance of weapon crafting, he needs a treasure like the Enlightenment Tea to help him.

After briefly outlining the things he wanted to accomplish recently, Su You didn't linger there any longer.

Anyway, with a sect leader's star ring, returning to the Dream Butterfly Mirror is just a matter of a thought.

Unlike the Heavenly Treasure Token, the Sect Leader's Star Ring has no distance restrictions.

The Heavenly Treasure Token was something the Dream Butterfly Sect used for trials of its lower-ranking disciples, which is why it only has this limited power.
