Chapter 652 - 355: Secrets of the Artifact Spirit

"Elder Qin, have you gained any insights?"

Meeting the other’s gaze, Li Mu smiled slightly and asked with concern.

"Sect Master, your artifact refining techniques are effortless and possess the prowess of an Artisan God, making others feel left in the dust. I have gained some enlightenment, but I’m afraid my foundation is still far from breaking through the barrier." Qin Wentong’s face showed a bitter smile as he shook his head and said.

"Uh, Elder Qin, if you have any doubts, feel free to ask me."

Li Mu nodded in understanding and asked with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Qin Wentong was delighted, pondered slightly, and immediately expressed the doubts in his heart.

"It is an honor to observe the Sect Master refining artifacts." Qin Wentong looked at Li Mu with respect and asked, "However, during the formation of the Artifact Spirit, I always feel a bit powerless and unable to grasp that enigmatic essence. Could the Sect Master guide me a little?"

Seeing the sincere gaze of Qin Wentong, Li Mu thought for a moment and smilingly explained, "Elder Qin, the formation of an Artifact Spirit cannot do without the Artifact Momentum. Refining a Tier Six Spiritual Treasure is different from a Tier Five Spiritual Artifact. The changes in the refining process are based on the Artifact Array, Artifact Pattern, and Artifact Form, supplemented by the intricate Artifact Momentum. Whether the Artifact Momentum can be condensed is crucial to the birth of the Artifact Spirit."

"Artifact Momentum is the soul of the Spiritual Artifact, akin to the will of the Heavenly Dao. To condense Artifact Momentum, one must have a profound understanding of the refining materials, knowing each material’s attributes, properties, strengths, and weaknesses thoroughly. Secondly, during the refining process, these materials must be perfectly fused into a harmonious whole. After that, there’s the Artifact Array, which is divided into the Basic Array, Artifact Pattern Real, ..., and finally, the most crucial step is to form the Artifact Momentum at the last moment of refining by gathering all the Artifact Patterns to catalyze the Artifact Spirit, ..."

Qin Wentong listened intently, his eyes flashing with brilliance, as if he saw a hope of advancing further on the Path of Artifact Refining. However, as Li Mu’s explanation deepened, he gradually realized that he still couldn’t fully comprehend the steps of catalyzing the Artifact Spirit through the Artifact Form. The mysterious process seemed to have an invisible barrier blocking his exploration, making him unable to touch the core mysteries.

Seeing the confusion and bewilderment in Qin Wentong’s eyes, Li Mu couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart. The formation of an Artifact Spirit is an insurmountable chasm for Artifact Refining Masters; otherwise, the number of Artifact Refining Grandmasters wouldn’t be so few.

This critical step requires not only the Artifact Refiner’s superb skills and rich experience but also their exceptional talent and enlightenment, allowing them to progress further on the Path of Artifact Refining and comprehend the mystery of the birth of the Artifact Spirit.

Qin Wentong evidently hadn’t even reached the threshold of understanding the Artifact Spirit. Regarding this, Li Mu held no disdain; without the help of the interface, he feared he wouldn’t have reached the level of an Artifact Refining Grandmaster in his lifetime.

Taking a deep breath, Li Mu suggested to Qin Wentong, "Elder Qin, you must not rush at this moment. Understanding the formation of an Artifact Spirit indeed requires time and opportunity. How about this? I’ll refine another Tier Six Spiritual Treasure for you to carefully observe; you might gain some insight from it."

"Thank you, Sect Master!" Qin Wentong was overjoyed and gratefully thanked him.

Li Mu waved his hand with a smile; having received such a generous gift, he naturally had to teach him diligently.

As he spoke, Li Mu turned around, forming techniques with his hands, Spiritual Power within him surged out like a tide, casting the Artifact Refining Divine Technique - Celestial Fire Furnace, reforming the Yin Yang Thunder Flame into a Celestial Fire Refining Furnace.

Soon, a silver-red Celestial Fire Furnace appeared before Li Mu, with a magnificent and peculiar appearance, emitting powerful Thunder Spirit Fluctuations like a small-scale Celestial Thunder Tribulation, making no one dare to underestimate it.

As the Celestial Fire Furnace formed by condensing the Yin Yang Thunder Flame emerged, the atmosphere within the Artifact Refining Room changed, filled with endless Thunder Intent.

With another Earth Element Spiritual Object to refine, using Extreme Yang Celestial Fire would be more suitable, but given Qin Wentong’s presence, Li Mu had to reluctantly use the Yin Yang Thunder Flame. Moreover, the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire was still demanding three batches of Fire Element Tier Six Spiritual Materials for the last artifact refining task.

If not for receiving Qin Wentong’s generous gift, Li Mu wouldn’t have been able to repay this debt.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, the techniques in Li Mu’s hand constantly changed, and the temperature of the Yin Yang Thunder Flame within the Celestial Fire Furnace also shifted accordingly.

Next, Li Mu extracted the Tier Six Earth Refining Spiritual Materials provided by Nangong Chenxing from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl. These Spiritual Materials were extremely precious and rare treasures, each exuding rich Earth Element Spirit Qi and power.

Tier Six Mountain Crystal, Tier Six Earth Gnome Rock, Tier Six Purple Nether Rock Crystal..., Li Mu placed seven pieces of Tier Six Spiritual Materials into the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace,

Under Li Mu’s control, the seven precious Tier Six Spiritual Materials seemed to be infused with life, slowly floating into the Celestial Fire Refining Furnace. Under the calcination of Yin Yang Thunder Flame, they quickly melted and fused with each other, removing surface impurities. The spiritual essence of the materials and their Spiritual Energy gradually released under the furnace’s roasting, converging into a powerful energy fluctuation.

Li Mu formed techniques with his hands, concentrating on refining, while simultaneously splitting his Divine Sense to transmit to Qin Wentong, explaining in detail, "Elder Qin, watch closely. I’m using the Divine Refining Technique. After refining and extracting the Spiritual Materials, prepare to melt them into an Artifact Array, arranging the Artifact Pattern Spirit Grid. Notice the formation of the array in it, the Spiritual Energy of the Mountain Crystal contains the soul of the mountain, the Earth Gnome Rock contains the essence of heaviness..."
