First Immortal of Destiny

Chapter 264: Reforging Treasures

Shen Mo used his divine consciousness and spiritual power to carefully examine the Purple Bamboo Sword.

He continued, "However, the material of this sword is extraordinary and can hold a large amount of spiritual power."

"Why not refine it into a disposable treasure? Once it erupts, its power will be enough to kill an ordinary Qi Gathering Peak cultivator!"

Listening to Shen Mo's confident words, Chen Mengze's face showed a hint of confusion.

"You have already entered the path of alchemy, so why are you still interested in the path of forging?"

"I only have a little understanding of it," Shen Mo humbly replied.

As he spoke, he glanced at the progress bars of the three secondary professions on the panel.

[Master: Shen Mo]

[Cultivation: Third Layer of Qi Gathering Realm]

[Talisman Dao: Second Grade (2520/3000)]

[Alchemy: Third Grade (3665/6000)]

[Forging: Second Grade (1830/3000)]

Compared to the progress in alchemy, the progress in talisman dao and forging was indeed slower.

But there was nothing that could be done about it.

On one hand, it was limited by external conditions.

For example, in terms of talismans, the development of talisman dao in the Linjiang Sect was clearly not as good as alchemy.

There was still a fourth-grade alchemist, Wu Gong Wu Keqing, but as for a fourth-grade talisman maker, they couldn't be found anywhere in the sect.

The highest attainments in talisman dao were only at the third grade.

There was also no place like the Alchemy Tower where one could easily obtain numerous talisman scrolls.

The path of forging also had similar problems.

What was even more difficult was that progress in this path required constantly forging and repairing various types of artifacts.

Apart from forging artifacts for himself, Shen Mo's understanding and repair of spoils of war also played a significant role.

Now that Chen Mengze had a demand, he naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

It was a good chance to increase his experience bar!

On the other hand, his energy was limited.

Unlike when he first mastered the three arts, it was relatively simple to improve in each path.

As he continuously obtained pill formulas, techniques, and scriptures from the Alchemy Tower, it became increasingly easy for him to earn spirit stones after his alchemy improved.

As a result, the development of talisman dao and forging was further delayed.

It was somewhat similar to the saying that the strong became stronger among cultivators!

However, Shen Mo didn't think it was a big problem.

These two secondary professions were currently sufficient for him.

In addition, he practiced a hundred arts of cultivation in order to earn cultivation resources for his own practice.

If he had to put aside alchemy and his own cultivation to pursue the simultaneous development of these two secondary professions, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

It was better to let things progress naturally!

...

Chen Mengze looked deeply at Shen Mo and felt that the mist surrounding him was becoming thicker and thicker.

Since he was promoted to the inner sect, it was as if he had undergone a complete transformation.

However, Shen Mo trusted her so much.

Of course, she wouldn't go around spreading rumors!

After thinking it over, she agreed to Shen Mo's proposal for the transformation.

Both the hammer and the sword were relics of enemies, and they might even be stained with the blood of Chen family members.

She didn't feel comfortable using them directly.

In addition, Chen Mengze also picked out a medium-grade Profound Grade shield-shaped artifact for her father, Chen An.

However, the original owner of this shield-shaped artifact was a mid-stage Qi Gathering cultivator from the Liu family. During a battle with a Soul Devouring Demon, the shield was covered in cracks and was severely damaged.

After inspecting it, Shen Mo felt that this shield-shaped artifact had great repair value!

The main reason was that this shield was engraved with two special effects.

One was "Forbidden Spirit," which weakened various immortal techniques, sword qi, and blade auras to a certain extent.

As a result, it would be less easy to break this shield.

Unless it was struck by a magical artifact or hit with brute force!

Of course.

If the opponent's attacks exceed the shield's capacity, it still won't be able to withstand them.

Otherwise, this shield wouldn't have been beaten into such a sorry state by Shen Mo's demonic soul.

Another effect is "lifting as if it's light".

Even though it is made of a large amount of spiritual gold, it appears extremely heavy.

As long as it is infused with spiritual power and the inscriptions within are activated, it can be easily lifted without affecting combat.

For Shen Mo, his physical strength far surpasses this shield artifact.

That's why it doesn't catch his eye.

But for Chen Shu, it is undoubtedly a good life-saving artifact.

If Shen Mo can further enhance the grade of this shield in the future, Chen Shu will have some self-defense power even when facing a late Qi Gathering stage opponent.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Mo decided to take the easy route first.

First, repair this shield-shaped artifact and enhance its grade.

Then, reforge Liu Dingjiang's golden hammer.

Finally, attempt to turn the Purple Bamboo Sword into a disposable magic treasure.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom!"

Five black coffins flew out of Shen Mo's Qiankun bag.

They fell to the ground, causing the earth to tremble slightly.

These are the relics of the Ghost Corpse Sect disciples who were killed by the Ghost Bride in the Abandoned Ghost Domain.

Shen Mo originally planned to refine a large coffin to use as a refuge and hiding place.

However.

As his cultivation level increased, the enemies he faced became stronger and stronger!

The quality of these coffins is no longer enough to provide him with protection, so they have never been used.

Chen Mengze couldn't help but be curious when she saw these coffins that she had personally picked up.

"Are you planning to use the materials from these coffins to repair the shield? Isn't that a bit too much?"

"Myriad Manifestations of the Forest Myriad Manifestations Blade Net!"

Shen Mo swung the Demon Slayer Sword and slashed at one of the coffins.

Amidst a clang of metal, the coffin shattered into fist-sized iron pieces.

He followed the same method and used the Myriad Manifestations Sword Style to slash four more times!

As a result, there were five piles of iron pieces in the cave.

At this point, Shen Mo smiled and said, "Not enough! They will be melted away by the earth fire."

Shen Mo planned to use the method of refining with the Nine Extreme Crystal Sand to melt these iron pieces from the coffins.

However, there was no need to refine them nine times!

With the material of these coffins, it was likely that refining them five times would consume almost all of the material.

After a moment of contemplation, Shen Mo took out the Purple Gold Halberd.

With a slightly regretful expression from Chen Mengze, he cut it into two pieces.

One piece was used to repair and enhance the shield-shaped artifact together with the iron pieces from the coffins.

The other piece, he planned to refine it nine times and put it into the heavily damaged Nine Extreme Crystal Sand that was struck by Bai Yuan Dao Ren.

"Whoosh!"

A fierce flame flew out from his body.

Under his control, it began to melt the iron pieces from the coffins...

As the black spiritual material melted into iron liquid, Shen Mo continuously struck out with his forging seals.

And amidst the sizzling sound, a large amount of foam and impurities were stripped away from the iron liquid. After removing the impurities, Shen Mo repeated the process.

Until the material from the five coffins was stripped four times, reaching the level of the Four Extremes.

At this point, the material from the coffins, which was enough to form a pool of molten iron, was only the size of a human head.

It had a dark black color and a faint glow, looking quite extraordinary!

Shen Mo followed the same method and also refined the Purple Gold Halberd four times, forming a mass of purple gold spiritual liquid slightly larger than a fist.

Then, he maintained the shape of the shield-shaped artifact and the inscriptions on it, slowly melting the black spiritual iron liquid and the purple gold spiritual liquid into the shield.

Gradually replacing the original spiritual material used to shape the shield!

The entire forging process lasted for a whole night.
