Ordinary person: What to do with unused treasures? (On Zhuanzhuan)

Chapter 102 Natal Magic Treasure

Ever since arriving in the Chaotic Star Sea, a certain thought has been popping into Qin Fang's mind from time to time.

What is my natal magic weapon?

How to refine it?

Even though he had not yet broken through the Core Formation stage, the thought still lingered in his mind.

Advancing to the Core Formation stage not only means that Qin Fang is now considered a senior expert in the cultivation world, but more importantly, he can use his own alchemical fire to refine a unique natal magic weapon for himself.

Qin Fang had once controlled a clone of a Nascent Soul cultivator in the early stages of Core Formation, and had also witnessed the power of magical treasures.

However, that ancient bell magic weapon—after all, it wasn't something I crafted step by step myself—still felt somewhat obscure when using it.

In addition, the magic weapon itself was somewhat damaged, and its power was far inferior to that of other Core Formation cultivators' magic weapons.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have had to self-destruct his clone in such a desperate situation, turning the ancient bell he had nurtured for years into dust as well.

Ever since then, a thought has been forming in Qin's mind!

Forge your own natal magic weapon!

For him, who is now in the late stage of Foundation Establishment and about to break through to the peak of Foundation Establishment—that is, the Pseudo-Core Realm—this is not a delusion.

It is a very pragmatic choice.

We can't possibly wait until we break through to the early stage of Core Formation before slowly searching for suitable materials.

Regarding his own magic weapon—

Qin Fang immediately thought of the Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique!

This technique originated from the Hundred Creations Mountain in the Immortal Realm. To put it another way, even in the Spirit Realm, it is an extremely rare and wonderful immortal technique that is hard to come by.

The Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique does indeed contain several types of natal magic treasures that can be refined!

After all, Baizao Mountain is famous for its weapon crafting! They are even so crazy that they regard themselves as magical treasures and use special weapon crafting techniques to refine their bodies into a treasure.

It's a pity~

Whether it's the Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique or the special magic weapon refining methods recorded within it, they are things that Qin Fang can only dream of but never obtain.

Qin Fang couldn't even find the right materials for refining weapons.

There is absolutely no material recorded in any cultivation manuals or scriptures in the entire human realm.

Therefore, Qin Fang could only dream of using other refining materials to create a pseudo-"Hundred Refinement Mountain" magic weapon in the future.

This was the best solution he could think of.

Even so, Qin Fang felt it was a long way off. Even if it was a pseudo-"Hundred-Forging Mountain" magic treasure, the replacement materials would definitely be the most top-tier materials in the human realm, which a Foundation Establishment cultivator like him could not obtain.

He could use the Zhuanzhuan secondhand platform to forcibly buy from other cultivators.

However, such extremely precious materials, once they fall into the hands of a Core Formation or Nascent Soul stage expert, will probably not remain for long before being added to their own natal magic weapon. Why would they be left for Qin Fang to trade?

However, Qin Fang was truly unwilling to refine an ordinary natal magic weapon.

He was even troubled by this, wondering why his spiritual root didn't have the wood attribute! If he had a wood attribute spiritual root, he might be able to cultivate the Azure Origin Sword Technique, a top-tier cultivation method in the human realm.

Let's think of another way. If we can get some ten-thousand-year-old Golden Thunder Bamboo from Han Li and refine it into an incomparably powerful Golden Thunder Bamboo magic weapon, it's not a pipe dream.

What a pity! Qin Fang does not possess a wood-attribute spiritual root, so naturally he cannot cultivate the Azure Origin Sword Technique.

Therefore, forging the Azure Bamboo Bee Cloud Sword would no longer be possible for Qin Fang.

Turning his head, Qin Fang focused his attention on the "Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique," hoping to refine his body into a special natal magic weapon.

Their physical strength is unparalleled, and they can sometimes produce some surprising effects.

However, the reason why a natal magic weapon is so powerful is that it can be stored in the dantian of a cultivator and nurtured, gradually increasing its power over time.

The physical body, however, cannot do this; it requires a continuous infusion of various rare materials to gradually increase its strength.

If there are no other better methods, this approach is not a bad option.

"Could this be considered an unexpected stroke of luck?"

Standing in the secluded meditation room, Qin Fang felt an increasing heaviness in his palms, and his heart was filled with mixed emotions.

"It shouldn't be wrong!"

"Both its weight and appearance match those described in the Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique!"

"In that Xuan Kong Realm, there actually exists such a treasure that even immortal sects cherish extremely—"

"The Nine Netherworld Suppressing Mountain Stone!"

"It is said that after being refined, even a small piece the size of a thumb can suppress a mountain."

"It is one of the best choices for forging the Hundred Forging Hammer! Even in a celestial sect like Hundred Forging Mountain, only the most core disciples can use such materials to forge magical treasures —"

"But this part—"

"The weight seems to differ somewhat from the records. Could it be because there's no spiritual energy to nourish it in the Xuan Kong Realm?"

Qin Fangzai carefully examined the unremarkable black stone.

As a sect specializing in weapon crafting, Baizao Mountain naturally has cultivators who are most skilled in weapon crafting!

For a weapon-refining cultivator—or to put it bluntly, for a blacksmith—what is most important?!

Of course, it's a perfect hammer.

The Hundred-Craft Hammer also has another name: the Hundred-Craft Boundary-Breaking Hammer.

This hammer, forged to perfection, possesses the power to easily shatter an entire interface with a single strike! Hence its name.

According to records, this hammer required several materials that Qin Fang had never heard of before to be forged. It was extremely powerful from the very beginning of its forging. Combined with the incomparably strong physique of the cultivators of Hundred Forging Mountain, the Hundred Forging Hammer was a famous magic weapon in the Immortal Realm.

Furthermore, this treasure has a very special feature: its power can be gradually enhanced by the addition of various precious materials.

Start with your natal magic weapon and gradually upgrade it to the level of a spiritual treasure or a heaven-reaching spiritual treasure!

Furthermore, because the materials required for refining are extremely special, even if it is just the hammer body itself that slowly improves, it can gradually reach the level of a post-natal Xuan Tian treasure.

If one can find materials that are extremely powerful even in the Immortal Realm, it can be upgraded into a graded Immortal Artifact.

It is a famous growth-type magic weapon in the immortal realm!

Of course, since it is a growth-type treasure, it naturally has many limitations.

To take the simplest example, the initial materials used to refine this treasure are not something that ordinary people can afford.

Only a few extremely special materials can allow the Hundred-Craft Hammer to grow into a celestial weapon!

If it's made of ordinary materials, it can be forged, but the resulting "Hundred-Forged Hammer" will be nothing more than a shell, unable to unleash its full power.

"Forging a Hundred-Forge Hammer?"

"This amount of Nine Netherworld Mountain-Suppressing Stones is far from enough —"

"In fact, because this stone has long lacked the nourishment of spiritual energy, it is inherently flawed."

"Perhaps it will require far more Nine Netherworld Mountain-Suppressing Stones than we can imagine" to forge even a rough draft of a Hundred-Forging Hammer!

"Why----"

Thinking of this, Qin Fang felt somewhat discouraged.

It was already quite an achievement to have obtained even one piece of this by chance; he couldn't even imagine that he could get more.

Even if Han Li of the Xuan Kong Realm searched diligently, he probably wouldn't be able to find enough for what he needed!

"If only I could get seven or eight more pieces this big—"

"Even with its flaws, it should be enough for me to forge a 'pseudo' Hundred-Craft Hammer."

"I don't expect this item to eventually grow into a celestial artifact, but even with the label 'pseudo,' it should still be comparable to the Xuan Tian Spirit-Slaying Sword?"

Qin Fang made a guess in his mind.

His understanding of the Hundred-Forging Hammer came entirely from the incomplete Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique. He had never refined any of the treasures from it, so he naturally did not know the specific power it could achieve.

"Forget it! I don't want to think about it anymore—"

"It's my fate!"

Even if there are no more "Nine Netherworld Mountain-Suppressing Stones" after this, just this one piece is already quite a gain!

"I recall that this special forging material can also be used in conjunction with the Hundred Meridians Refining Treasure Technique—"

"Once I have mastered the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridian Technique, this item will definitely come in handy."

After Qin Fang finished speaking, he did not find a brocade box to properly store the "Nine Netherworld Mountain Suppressing Stone". Instead, he placed it in the closest position to the Spirit Gathering Array.

Even if being nourished by spiritual energy for a long time doesn't cause this stone to undergo earth-shattering changes, it should still have some benefits.

"Right now, the most important thing is to break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage and raise my cultivation to the Pseudo-Core stage!"

"Others—let's put them aside for now."

"Anyway, with my current cultivation level, it's impossible for me to refine any magic treasures, so there's no point in thinking about it."

Qin Fang composed himself.

Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Qin Fang began to circulate the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridians Technique, his primary cultivation method.

Apart from occasionally taking a pill, Qin Fang never opened his eyes again.

What Qin Fang didn't know was that the "Nine Netherworld Mountain-Suppressing Stone" he placed next to the Spirit Gathering Array was gradually undergoing some strange changes, and the aura from the Nine Netherworld on it was becoming increasingly strong.

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away from Kuixing Island, a flying boat was speeding along.

"I was in such a hurry that I forgot to congratulate Fellow Daoist Xin on advancing to the early stage of Foundation Establishment."

"Senior Han, what are you saying? If it weren't for the Foundation Establishment Pill you bestowed upon me, with my aptitude, I would probably have been stuck in the Qi Refining stage for a long time."

"It's just a Foundation Establishment Pill, Fellow Daoist Xin, you don't need to take it to heart! Besides—since you have already advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, there's no need to talk about seniors anymore. From now on, we can just address you as Fellow Daoist."

"Senior Han has advanced to the late Foundation Establishment stage for several years. It shouldn't be long before he forms his Golden Core. Calling him 'Senior' is perfectly acceptable."

"Then I'll take your kind words, fellow Daoist. However, I am still a Foundation Establishment cultivator—as for the Core Formation stage—I have no confidence whatsoever. It's not that easy to advance to the next stage."

"Brother Han—Brother Han is truly blessed; advancing to the Core Formation stage is naturally a given!"

On the flying boat, Xin Ruyin sincerely thanked Han Li.

After living on Xiaohuan Island for several years and reaching the Foundation Establishment stage, Xin Ruyin decisively took the Foundation Establishment Pill given to her by Qin Fang in order to break through the bottleneck of Foundation Establishment.

Unfortunately, fate was unkind! Xin Ruyin ultimately failed to achieve Foundation Establishment. Later, with Han Li's help and the assistance of a second Foundation Establishment Pill, she barely managed to break through to the early stage of Foundation Establishment and become the Foundation Establishment cultivator she had always dreamed of.

"This trip to Tianxing City is truly a matter of necessity."

"After I arrive in Tianxing City, I plan to go out to sea to hunt demons. At that time, I hope Fellow Daoist Xin will take care of my Junior Sister Mo."

Han Li glanced at the ink-colored ring at the stern of the ship out of the corner of his eye and said to Xin Ruyin.

"I have known Miss Mo for many years and we are like sisters. Even if Brother Han hadn't asked, I would have helped her out."

"However, the outer sea is teeming with demonic beasts. One careless move could lead to your death. This formation was created by me some time ago and I'm giving it to Brother Han for protection."

"I only hope that Brother Han will return safely!"

Xin Ruyin took out an array plate from her storage bag and handed it to Han Li.

"The outer seas are indeed fraught with danger, so I won't stand on ceremony with you, Fellow Daoist Xin!"

"Once we arrive in Tianxing City, even if that evil cultivator has any bad intentions, he probably won't dare to do anything."

"However, just to be on the safe side, we still need to find Senior Nangong and Junior Brother Qin Fang—"

"Only in this way can we ensure absolute safety!"

Han Li accepted the array plate. He himself wasn't very confident about this sea hunt for demons, and this was clearly not the time to be overly polite.
