132 The Rules of Dharmic Armaments (2/2)

Wang Baole became alert as he began reading the words. However, disappointment soon filled him, as the words on the mask were not regarding the cultivation techniques that he desired. Instead, it was a formula for a Dharmic Artifact.

After studying the formula described for a moment, Wang Baole realized that it was for a scabbard!

”You want me to refine a scabbard? What so great about refining a scabbard? It's not a flying sword. Besides, a scabbard is not required for a flying sword.” Wang Baole sounded unwilling.

Sensing the unwillingness in Wang Baole's tone, the mask flashed again, and a new message appeared on it.

”If the scabbard refined is top notch, it can surpass that of a Divine Armament to become a supreme object, it could absorbed the ancient greenish-bronze sword on the sun…”

After reading those words, Wang Baole laughed.

”Don't joke around, Little Missy. You think I'm ignorant? I've used this method since I was six to cheat people of their money as my allowance. Have some credibility to your words!”

The mask remained silent for a long while before flashing once again. The words on it changed again, telling Wang Baole that the scabbard was only the first step. After refining it successfully, there were cultivation techniques that were further associated with it. At the same time, the scabbard belonged to the growth category. The scabbard would give rise to the Spirit Needle, and if further refined, there would be a day when the Spirit Needle could be transformed into the Spirit Sword to sever everything in the universe!

”This sounds more believable.” Wang Baole took a closer look again. Even though he was still doubtful, after reading that cultivation techniques would follow, he did not say anything further. When he left the hallucination realm, he sat and thought about the formula. Previously, he had only taken a quick glance, but after seriously thinking about it now, he grew excited.

”It's just a first-grade Dharmic Artifact, but it's already so complicated. The first step is already unconventional, and the Spirit Stones that have inscriptions must not only be Rainbow Spirit Stones, it must also be a uniform set. It's not acceptable for the Rainbow Spirit Stone to be separately assembled into the shape of the scabbard.”

Wang Baole was confused yet excited. He further thought about it, and as he raised his head after a period of time, his eyes carried a look of shock.

Other than its requirements for specific Spirit Stones, it was also particular in its requirements for inscriptions. The number of inscriptions required indicated to Wang Baole that it far exceeded the number needed for normal third-grade Numinous Treasures. Furthermore, even though Wang Baole could solve the arrangement of the inscriptions using formulas, he did not understand their meanings.

The requirements involving the Spirit Kernel were extremely complicated as well. The requirements for the refinement materials were stringent, and Wang Baole could not figure out how everything required fit into the simple picture of being a first-grade item.

However, it was indeed a first-grade Dharmic Artifact!

Could it be that when the scabbard reaches its top level, it could really attract the ancient greenish-bronze sword? Wang Baole thought about it, but he still felt incredulous about it. He was immensely intrigued by the scabbard but could see that it was not as mighty as what Little Missy described, even though it was obviously a treasure as well.

Maybe I can incorporate the bead from the blue long spear in the refinement process. That way, I could perhaps combine these two Dharmic treasures together, making them more powerful!

When Wang Baole researched the bead previously, this thought had already appeared in his mind. Since the bead was derived from a Dharmic treasure, if it were combined with another Dharmic treasure, an effect might be seen.

However, there was only one bead, so Wang Baole did not dare test it just like that. However, seeing that the scabbard seemed to have potential, he was tempted.

He knew that it would be challenging to refine the scabbard and did not rush into things. Instead, he began refining perfect first-grade Dharmic Artifacts that were needed for his advancement to become an Armament Disciple. Wang Baole chose a few of them off the list from the Dharmic Armament Pavilion and began refining.

Time passed quickly, and three days flew by. After failing several times, Wang Baole finally managed to refine a perfect first-grade Dharmic Artifact flying sword. It was jade green in color, glowing brightly and giving off a cold, subtle aura. It seemed superior to all the other flying swords that Wang Baole had ever refined.

Condensed Jadeite Sword! Wang Baole's eyes lit up. After comparing it to the requirements listed by the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, he understood that his sword had met all the requirements. Delighted, he began carving his name on it and felt emotional as he recognized that this unassuming sword could not only be used to fight others if it landed in the hands of outsiders. If it was used to attack him, he could instantly cause it to shatter into pieces.

”Dharmic Armament cultivators are all sly,” Wang Baole said snidely. That was what Chen Yutong had told him regarding unspoken rules followed by all Dharmic Armament cultivators in the Federation.

That was… to take a back door via connections!

Every Dharmic Armament cultivator would leave a catch known only to themselves in the Dharmic Artifacts that they produced. This tacit rule was to prevent the Dharmic Artifact that one had manufactured from becoming one that would ultimately kill its manufacturer!

Even though this caused unhappiness, and occasionally resulted in murders to keep the information a secret, it was a rule of the trade. The more it seemed this way, the more difficult it was to stop it.
