Chapter 183 Magic Item Enhancement
"Is this the benefit of cultivating both body and spirit?" Luo Ming exclaimed at this moment. No wonder many cultivators envy the cultivation of both body and spirit.
The voice of Tianjing Sanren came from the Xuan Yuan Pearl, his tone full of amazement and a hint of helpless teasing: "You freak, you're truly defying the heavens! In all my years of cultivation, I've seen countless cultivators, some of whom have had their cultivation scattered and had to start over, but I've never seen anyone like you. Your magical power and body refinement broke through simultaneously, and you've only just advanced to the early stage of Core Formation, yet you already have such a large Golden Core. It's simply unheard of!"
After a pause, Tianjing Sanren exclaimed in admiration, "Your current magical power may seem to be only at the early stage of Core Formation, but in terms of total amount and degree of refinement, it is already comparable to that of an ordinary late-stage Core Formation cultivator. More importantly, you also possess Nascent Soul level divine sense, which allows you to perfectly control every bit of magical power within your body, and the combat power you unleash far exceeds your current realm."
"With your current strength, even if you were to impersonate a late-stage Core Formation expert, no one would be able to detect it." Tianjing Sanren sighed softly. "Looking across the entire Great Jin region, among the younger generation, in terms of magical power alone, I'm afraid no one can rival you. Even the core disciples of the ten major sects, without the most top-tier magic treasures to protect them, would be no match for you."
A calm smile appeared on Luo Ming's lips, his heart filled with relief and determination.
If he were to encounter the Extreme Yin Ancestor who possessed Wu Chou back then, he wouldn't need to run away immediately. With the help of his spirit beast, he might even be able to turn the tables and kill the opponent.
Sixty years of patient cultivation and arduous work, sixty years of steady progress, have finally paid off.
With a thought, Luo Ming's body shimmered with spiritual light, and twelve Xuan Yuan Pearls, each with a smooth, lustrous surface and a faint blue luster, flew out from various parts of his body and hovered before him.
These Xuan Yuan Pearls are all his natal magic treasures, and they have long been connected with his mind and spirit. At this moment, they tremble slightly in the air, exuding a spiritual energy, as if they have their own consciousness.
Luo Ming's divine sense stirred slightly, and the twelve Xuan Yuan Pearls responded instantly, allowing him to control them at will without any sense of stagnation.
They slowly swirled in the air, their shapes constantly changing. In a short while, they transformed from round beads into twelve crystal-clear mirrors. On the mirrors, the power of mysterious water flowed faintly, clearly reflecting everything inside the cave.
Before long, the mirror surface suddenly contracted and expanded, transforming into twelve dark blue flying swords. The swords had clear patterns and gleamed with a sharp edge. They crisscrossed and danced in the air, moving nimbly and whistling through the air. Even when they were just dancing casually, they exuded a power that should not be underestimated.
Looking at the twelve extraordinary Xuan Yuan Pearls before him, a hint of joy flashed in Luo Ming's eyes.
Even some cultivators who have nurtured their natal magic treasures for hundreds of years may not be able to possess such a vibrant state. All of this is due not only to the presence of the spirit of the Heavenly Mirror Hermit, but also to the nurturing of the Spirit Gathering Cauldron.
Over the years, apart from using the Xuan Yuan Pearl to solidify his magical power, he has spent the rest of his time nurturing them in the Gathering Spirit Cauldron. By using the Gathering Spirit Cauldron to gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and purify energy, he has nurtured them day by day, which has made them so lively and easier to control.
As for those magical artifact transformation techniques, Luo Ming learned them from the Heavenly Mirror Hermit. With his current spiritual strength, he can barely perform them.
"Your Xuan Shui Pearls may seem powerful and heavy, mainly used to intimidate people, but because they are too heavy, they are not as agile as flying swords. However, I have an idea that can increase the power of your natal magic weapon several times over."
In the mouth of Tianjing Sanren
A voice came through that delighted Luo Ming.
"Oh? It can be improved?" Luo Ming asked with delight.
Although Tianjing Sanren's words seemed somewhat exaggerated, considering his skill in weapon crafting, he no longer doubted them.
"The Azure Nether Scripture, as the main cultivation method of the Azure Nether lineage of the Taiyi Sect, is definitely top-tier in the human realm. However, it has gradually declined in recent years. Do you know why?"
Instead of directly revealing the method to enhance the Profound Origin Pearl, Tianjing Sanren asked Luo Ming a question.
"The Azure Nether lineage has declined? Could it be because the materials for magical artifacts are hard to find?" Luo Ming guessed.
He had a deep understanding of this. The materials for forging the Xuanming Sword actually required two extremely rare materials: Xuanming True Water and Geng Essence Qi. He had never heard of such things in the Chaotic Star Sea.
"Yes, that's true. It's said that the Azure Nether Scripture was obtained by the Taiyi Sect from a cultivator from the lower realm when the Demon Realm invaded. The Profound Nether True Water and Geng Essence may not be so precious in the Spirit Realm, but they are not so easy to obtain in the Human Realm."
"Back when I was still in the Great Jin Dynasty, I heard that Elder Xuanqing of the Qingming lineage of the Taiyi Sect traveled to the depths of the far north icy sea for over a hundred years to find a ball of Xuanming True Water. He also extracted Gengjing Qi from Gengjing and barely managed to forge three Xuanming Swords. With his mid-Nascent Soul cultivation, he was able to fight to a draw with a late-Nascent Soul cultivator. This shows how powerful this treasure is."
"Since your cultivation level is below the Nascent Soul realm, don't even think about the Profound Nether True Water. However, the Profound Origin Pearl is extremely malleable. Don't you have the Essence of Wind Spirit? If you can refine it into the essence, it will make the Profound Origin Pearl less cumbersome. If you can refine it into the Geng Essence Qi, plus the magic weapon transformation technique I taught you, it will be almost as good as the Profound Nether Sword. Even if you don't have the Geng Essence Qi for now, with the Azure Nether Qi you cultivated from the Azure Nether Scripture, its sharpness is no weaker than that of an ordinary flying sword."
"In that case, the Xuan Water has replaced the Xuanming True Water. Although it does not have the special power of the Xuanming True Water, which is extremely Yin and cold, it has the terrifying gravity of the Xuan Water. It is enough for you."
"Is that even possible?" Luo Ming's eyes lit up.
If that's the case, his magic weapon can not only temper his magic power, but also directly smash people, and can also transform into a flying sword to cast a sword formation. Wouldn't that be all-powerful?
"Your ideas are truly eye-opening; I have learned a great deal."
As soon as Luo Ming finished speaking, his mind stirred, and his dantian magic power surged out, instantly turning the twelve flying swords, which were originally dark blue, into a cyan-gold color.
The Azure Qi he cultivated was similar to the Azure Origin Sword Qi that Han Li cultivated. It could not only be used alone, but also attached to magic weapons, like an enchantment, to increase the attribute attack of the magic weapons.
As Luo Ming activated his magic technique, the twelve golden-blue flying swords suddenly shone brightly, transforming into seventy-two sword shadows that hovered in the air. Of these, only twelve were physical objects, while the rest were directly formed from magic power.
After his spiritual power reached the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, he was finally able to conjure more illusory images of magical treasures, greatly increasing his combat strength.
Moreover, his magic weapon was made of Xuan Shui (mysterious water), so there was no need to worry about it breaking or being damaged.
These flying swords hovered in the air like swimming fish, sometimes displaying their sharp edges like fierce swords, and sometimes transforming into round beads that floated quietly.
"Not bad, not bad. In the future, when fighting with others, one part can be used to trap the enemy in the form of Xuan Yuan Pearl, while the other part can be used to attack with flying swords. Moreover, it can be changed at any time, making it absolutely impossible for the enemy to defend against."
Looking at the magical artifact before him, Luo Ming felt increasingly satisfied. He couldn't help but look forward to the scenes of fighting against others in the future.
