Chapter 148: The Instrument is Shocking
"Ah!" Guo Fei let out a long sigh, now he could finally outline the entire talisman with one stroke. Guo Fei was using his fingers to draw, unlike the cultivators who used their spiritual energy to control the yuanqi and carve it in mid-air, this method was a hundred times more difficult than Guo Fei's.
After Guo Fei successfully practiced, he did not continue to engrave on the gun embryo, but rested for half a time. Learning the technique was too costly in terms of spiritual power. The next step was to engrave on the gun embryo, and he couldn't afford to make any mistakes, otherwise it would destroy the overall structure of the gun embryo and have to be re-forged.
Forging a magic weapon requires three steps. First, forge the embryo; second, engrave talismans and charms; third, rekindle the fire to connect with the spiritual veins and maintain the overall momentum of the weapon. The three steps merge into one, and the quality of the artifact is determined in an instant.
After the artifact is formed, there are two results. One is to become a fixed law artifact, and the other is to have the characteristic of years of sacrifice and refinement, which can continuously evolve through forging. Just like Guo Fei's Xuan Tie sword, after having the characteristic of years of sacrifice and refinement, the artifact itself has the ability to absorb intentions, and can continue to add fine gold in the future, nourishing it with yuan energy to evolve. However, being able to forge an artifact with the characteristic of years of sacrifice and refinement is extremely rare, so Guo Fei did not dare to have any extravagant hopes.
"Call the captain of the Giant Spirit Battle Team to come and wait here. If the engraving is successful, the next step will require him to use the Yuanqi Tongqi inner meridian." Guo Fei shouted to the ghost soldier beside him, and soon the captain of the Giant Spirit Battle Team, a big man, came in to wait beside him.
"Huh!" Guo Fei exhaled, calming his mind and circulating the yuanqi within his body. He extracted the yuanqi from the source and stimulated the Golden Flame Technique, a golden flame suddenly erupting from his fingertips. With his divine thoughts concentrated, he condensed the Golden Flame into a thumb-sized shape, instantly dotting it onto the gun embryo, beginning to write rapidly.
"Hiss!" As the last stroke of the rune fell, the entire rune suddenly came to life like a living thing, a stream of light flashed through the entire rune and merged with the entire gun.
"Done!" Miao Yu exclaimed in surprise and admiration: "I didn't expect you to succeed in one try, you have a great talent for cultivating techniques. If you can cultivate both techniques and martial skills, you will definitely become an unparalleled master."
"Sir, is it really possible for someone to master both magic and martial arts?" Guo Fei asked in a low voice, his tone filled with surprise.
"Of course, as the saying goes, 'the great way returns to one', whether it's a technique or an ultimate skill, they are all manifestations of the power of yuanqi. Only our human race has divided techniques and ultimate skills, the ghost tribe, demon tribe, and magic tribe don't have such distinctions. They aren't weaker than our human race's gongfa. The top-level experts in the human race, without exception, practice both techniques and ultimate skills, although they may not be fully proficient, they must have a basic understanding. Because to enter the emperor level, one must comprehend the heavenly way, understand the trends of heaven and earth, only then can they enter this realm. Therefore, studying techniques and ultimate skills, comprehending the rules of heaven and earth contained within is an inevitable path." Miao Yu seems to be very enthusiastic about Guo Fei practicing techniques, as if he wants Guo Fei to practice techniques with all his heart.
From recent contact, Guo Fei also knew that Miao Yu was addicted to researching martial arts and was a thorough "martial arts fanatic". Seeing Guo Fei's natural talent, he might have been eager to take him on.
"Thank you, senior, for your guidance. You've opened my eyes and I'll definitely study the techniques carefully when I have time." Guo Fei said, carefully observing the long spear, seemingly still having many positions available to engrave more talismans after this one.
Guo Fei was a person who had to do things thoroughly, and he wanted everything to be perfect. After some thought, he decided to engrave a few more simple first-level runes on it. These three runes were recorded in the "Equipment Dao Cultivation Technique", which was relatively simple. Guo Fei had studied this book for many days and had already memorized it, so he quickly got started.
"Hiss!" Guo Fei's fingertips flashed, and the golden flames leapt out, drawing onto the long spear shaft. The first was a symbol beneficial for attacking, the second was defensive, and the third was a simple illusion symbol. "The Art of Tool Refining" didn't mention the names of these three symbols, but Guo Fei drew them on anyway.
"Ah!" After Guo Fei finished drawing, Miao Yu suddenly exclaimed, and the three talismans actually moved automatically on the gun body, forming a triangular shape to guard around "Ice Soul Curse". When the three talismans settled down, they shone together with Ice Soul Curse, emitting waves of hazy light.
"Great complexity in simplicity, great wisdom in foolishness. Such a simple combination of three symbols, yet so mysterious and wonderful, it really makes me admire. What is this symbol after all? It's got me completely bewildered." Miao Yu gazed intently at the three symbols, her eyes wide with wonder.
Jinyunmen's craftsmanship is indeed superb, and the three simple talismans are so mysterious. However, in the book "Equipment Dao Cultivation Technique", it is extremely humble, saying that this is a minor way, an extremely simple first-level talisman. Is there really a higher level of talismans, more suitable for engraving on weapons? Guo Fei thought vaguely, unable to help but feel infinite yearning.
"It seems that these three talismans must be combined with other talismans to take effect, if used alone, the effect may not be great. I don't know if it's a coincidence or a mistake. Let you encounter it." Miao Yu looked at it for a while and said her own speculation, constantly praising.
Guo Fei nodded, now is not the time to examine this, must take advantage of the gun body on the furnace baking, overall still in a hot softening state, hurry up and complete the last step.
"Jù Líng duì zhǎng, yùn zhuàn tǐ nèi míng qì zhù rù qiāng shēn zhōng, shùn biàn jiàng jīng shén lì zhù rù, liú zài qí zhōng kòng zhì cǐ qiāng, wǒ yòng huǒ yàn kǎo zhì dǎ zào, zhù nǐ liàn huà cǐ qiāng! Guàn tōng líng mò." Guō Fēi chén shēng dào.
"Master, can I use this gun?" The captain of the Giant Spirit War Team was extremely excited and nodded.
"Cut the nonsense, circulate the vital energy and unblock the spiritual channels!" Guo Fei said in a deep voice.
The big guy laughed and didn't dare to slow down, his palm lifted, a gray air blade instantly poured into the gun body, Guo Fei carefully placed the gun embryo on the furnace to observe how the yuan energy was circulating. If there were any unsmooth places, he would use the forging hammer to forge them.
This program is the most skilled, called "Guān Wēi" in "Qì Dào Liàn Shù", which means to observe the subtle metal fluctuations and see if the yuanqi can be smoothly transmitted into the metal. Guo Fei's naked eye doesn't have this level of skill, but his Jīn Yàn can. He brings the Jīn Yàn close to the gun body, carefully feeling the degree of yuanqi transmission inside, and constantly forging with a hammer.
"Boom!" A metallic tremor sounded, and the gun suddenly jumped up from the furnace, emitting a dazzling gray light.
"Haha!" The big corpse soldier was overjoyed, took a step forward and grasped it in his hand, then flipped his palm, swung the long gun, and the gray spear shot out instantly, hitting the wall, penetrating through, and drilling a large hole.
"Top-grade treasure equipment!" Miao Yu and others were shocked and moved, Guo Fei had actually refined a treasure equipment, this was simply unbelievable.
"Years of refinement have finally paid off!" Guo Fei muttered to himself, his face calm, but a surge of excitement rising up in his heart. This was the first time he had truly refined an artifact, and it had turned out to be a high-quality treasure, no less than a Years of Refinement artifact. This gave Guo Fei great confidence in his future survival struggles.
