Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 46 Purple and Green Ruyi Rope

A month later, Wu Tian used the Silk-Pulling Curse to consume all five ironwood sticks, turning them into fifteen six-foot-long Yin Soul Silks.

He could have actually produced even more, but he wasted a lot of his initial practice. Only after gradually becoming more skilled did he achieve what he has today.

"But it's worth it, at least it made my Silk-Pulling Spell advance by leaps and bounds!"

Since it was unexpected wealth, Wu Tian wasn't bothered at all.

However, if he wants to refine the Ruyi Whip, he needs to extract four of the Yin Soul Silk threads and inscribe the incantations of Thunder Sound Incantation, Fire Eye Incantation, Water Cloud Incantation, and Gathering Wind Incantation on them respectively.

This kind of inscription requires the blood of a spirit, and it's best if it corresponds to the element's attribute.

Once each strand of Yin Soul Silk is inscribed with a spell, these four inscribed Yin Soul Silk are then woven together using the Ruyi Whip Secret Technique. Only in this way can a Ruyi Rope be forged.

Three Ruyi ropes are enough to forge a substandard Ruyi whip.

Nine Ruyi ropes can be used to forge a high-quality Ruyi whip.

Thirty-six Ruyi ropes can be used to forge a fine Ruyi whip.

However, to forge a truly exquisite Ruyi Whip, a total of eighty-one Ruyi Ropes are required.

Once you reach the Casting Cauldron Realm, if you have enough time and energy to combine the three Ruyi Whips with the Cauldron Fire and nurture and refine them with the corresponding essence of heaven and earth, you can forge a Ruyi Rope of the magic weapon level.

This is one of the magical artifacts passed down from Skull Mountain. The Ruyi Rope can change size at will, and can bind enemies. It also has a certain offensive power. If a rare Ruyi Rope is forged, it will be more than enough to protect oneself.

Although not as powerful as weapons of war, it is still quite ingenious.

Other Skull Mountain disciples usually only choose two attributes when crafting Ruyi Whips, such as Wind and Fire Whip, Water and Fire Whip, Yin Fire Whip, etc. One very important reason for this is to save time and energy.

A Ruyi Whip with four attributes like Wu Tian's requires twice the materials of a Ruyi Whip of the same quality, and the effort spent on it will be much greater, which can easily affect cultivation.

For all cultivators, climbing to higher realms is of utmost importance; even protective artifacts are merely external things.

However, relying on the system panel, Wu Tian can cultivate the Silk-Drawing Curse to perfection in a short time, and may even develop a talent.

That's why I'm willing to spend so much time on it.

After he had successfully extracted these fifteen Yin Soul Threads, he had no more spiritual materials left, as ordinary trees could not be used to extract Yin Soul Threads.

The thought that he still needed to hunt monsters, inscribe incantations with their blood, and even continuously refine and combine them was daunting.

Wu Tian felt a bit unsatisfied. Even if the General Affairs Hall could exchange merit points for some beast blood, how many lightning-attribute spirits would that be?

He had a headache, and just then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind: "Where is my own blood?"

"I am also a spirit, and I can absorb and exhale the four kinds of heaven and earth essences: water, fire, wind, and thunder. If you use my blood to inscribe it..."

He was somewhat tempted and wanted to give it a try.

In a very foolish move, it slashed its own forelimb hard with its claws...

Uh, no broken skin.

He is now constantly being cleansed by the four elements of heaven and earth—water, fire, wind, and thunder—while being nourished by the inner energy of the spirit. With this internal and external harmony, he can be considered to have thick skin and tough flesh.

Wu Tian had no choice but to steel himself and bite down on his own forelimb.

"Woof woof~"

It hurts!

Wu Tian cried out in pain as a small gash appeared on his forelimb, and blood began to flow.

But how can this be engraved? With claws?

Wu Tian felt that his brain might not be working properly after becoming a dog—a real dog brain—so much so that he bit himself before he could even figure out the next steps.

If I bite myself, will I get rabies?
Wu Tian tried to find amusement in his misery, his mind a jumble of thoughts. He spat out a strand of Yin Soul Silk and then attempted to inscribe a spell with the blood from his claws.

At this moment, Zhu Yeshuang, who was in harmony with heaven and earth, also witnessed this scene. Even with her clear and pure heart, she couldn't help but laugh. "What a silly dog!"

Fortunately, Wu Tian quickly found a method. There was actually a trick to it. He needed to use incantations and then use the corresponding essence of heaven and earth to guide the blood and gradually engrave it on the Yin Soul Silk.

Wu Tian tried for a full hour, and even with the simplest Wind Gathering Incantation, he kept failing. In the end, he only managed to inscribe one incantation.

It should be noted that the Wind Gathering Spell has a total of fifty-eight incantations.

The Cloud and Water Mantra has seventy-four mantras.

The Fire Eye Spell has 108 incantations.

The Thunder Sound Mantra has 122 incantations.

The process of combining four strands of Yin Soul Silk into a single Ruyi Rope requires the inscription of 362 incantations. Not to mention the subsequent process of combining the Ruyi Rope into a Ruyi Whip, which would inevitably consume a massive amount of time and energy.

Wu Tianguang felt a chill run down his spine after thinking about it. "We can't do this. If we continue like this, it will take too much time. I can't even handle bleeding!"

"I wonder if using my hair would be okay?"

He didn't care whether he would become a bald dog; he only thought that he couldn't bleed himself anymore, and of course, this was definitely not because he was afraid of pain.

"Never mind, I'll try again tomorrow."

"Daily homework is still the most important thing."

Wu Tian put away the Yin Soul Silk, stuck out his tongue and licked his wound. The wound was very shallow, and it had stopped bleeding by now.

He began chanting incantations, starting with the Thunder Sound Incantation and casting them in turn.

The stagnant energy in the body is gradually dissipating...

On the second day, when he was tired from his cultivation, Wu Tian tried again. This time, he used his own hair instead of blood.

Without a doubt, it was a complete failure.

He began to diligently draw a little blood each day to inscribe the incantation.

As time went by, not only did he become more and more proficient in engraving the incantations on the Yin Soul Silk, but his own four incantations also seemed to be progressing faster and faster in this engraving process.

Unbeknownst to him, Wu Tian had already spent two whole months cultivating in the forbidden hot spring area.

On this day, after he finished his cultivation, he spat out four strands of Yin Soul.

These four Yin Soul Threads are densely engraved with blood-red incantations. During this time, Wu Tian finally engraved the four incantations onto these Yin Soul Threads. The next step is to combine the four Yin Soul Threads into a Ruyi Rope.

Wu Tian was somewhat excited. From drawing the silk to inscribing the incantation, it had taken him a lot of time and energy, not to mention the blood he shed every day.

He used his own blood to refine weapons, and even the dogs would weep upon hearing his story.

"To refine the Ruyi Rope, you need the Ruyi Mantra. Master Manxiong said that this mantra is very simple, but you can only successfully learn it when you are making magical artifacts."

"Try it..."

The Ruyi Mantra has a total of seventy-two incantations. It is also a secret incantation technique, but Wu Tian has never practiced it before. Now that all the materials are ready, it is time to start.

He chanted incantations, and his internal energy circulated. Suddenly, the four strands of Yin spirits inscribed with incantations placed in front of him rose into the air, the incantations on them flickering and flowing on their own.

The essence of heaven and earth converged, and the four colors of light—water, fire, wind, and thunder—surged and rippled.

The four strands of Yin Soul intertwined like serpents, outlining an incredibly complex pattern.

Half an hour later, the essence of heaven and earth dissipated, and a rope, entirely blue-purple and interwoven with water and fire patterns, fell in front of Wu Tian.

The six-foot-long Yin Soul Silk, after being combined and refined, was reduced to only four feet and eight inches.

The long, purplish-blue rope, flowing with luster, was clearly no ordinary object.
