162 Detached (2/2)

”In addition, I will impart the knowledge on how to refine this scabbard to the third grade to you. You must remember that you have to quickly refine this to the third grade.”

As Little Missy's voice constantly spoke, Wang Baole became more agitated and excited.

This was the longest conversation that Wang Baole had held with the mask ever since he obtained it. This time, it was evident that the tone was not as cold-hearted as before. This made Wang Baole excited. He realized that he had given the correct present. As he pondered over his stupidity in the past, he recognized that it was becoming apparent that there were still many things that he had to individually understand and dive deeper into.

Hmm… It looks like I have to put in more work to please her in the future… I should quickly grab hold of the opportunity to understand everything, obtain a mutual cordial relationship, and boost our impression of each other!

Feeling delighted, Wang Baole faithfully remembered what Little Missy had taught him—about how he had to use his scabbard as his Intrinsic Dharmic Artifact as well as how he could refine it to the third grade. Only then did he decide to leave.

Just as he was about to pick up the mask and leave the Hallucination realm, Little Missy's cold-hearted voice once again reverberated.

”I wish to remain here.”

”Ah?” Wang Baole was taken aback. Pausing for a moment, he left the Hallucination realm on his own. Before he left, he turned back to look at the mask with the flower floating in midair as before.

It was as if she was always looking, gently taking in the flowery scent…

All of this left a deep impression on Wang Baole. It appeared that he could genuinely feel the loneliness of the woman…

Amid the silence, Wang Baole returned to reality. As he opened his eyes, he realized that the mask had indeed disappeared. All that was left was just the Hallucination Pillow. As such, he carefully put away the pillow, took a deep breath, and sat cross-legged. Following the teachings imparted from Little Missy, Wang Baole attempted to infuse the scabbard into his body for cultivation.

Little Missy's technique was simple, and the process ran smoothly. In a matter of seconds, the scabbard vanished from the outside world into his body.

As for the formula to refine the scabbard to the second grade, the materials required were far more precious than those required for the first grade, and the quantity needed was at least ten times greater.

Furthermore, he also needed to acquire Armament Sand, not just a hundred grains but a thousand!

This was still not worth mentioning. To refine the scabbard to the third grade, the materials required were far more exaggerated—especially the Armament Sand. It required ten thousand grains!

These numbers—even if Wang Baole himself could refine the Rainbow Spirit Stones himself—were still an astounding amount that would leave one speechless.

However, upon thinking of the prowess of the scabbard, Wang Baole gritted his teeth. Filled with anticipation, he began to refine the Armament Sand. However, in the midst of his refinement, an idea suddenly flashed across Wang Baole's mind.

Hmm… the Armament Sand can fully trigger the potential of the scabbard and cause the Inscriptions to evolve… then… can I use it on other Dharmic Artifacts?

The thought of this excited him.

The scabbard's power is hindered by its grade. Up till now, the refinement of the scabbard still has not shown any obvious effects. However, those flawless and unparalleled second-grade Dharmic Artifacts that I have are extraordinarily powerful. If I can fully trigger the potential of my scabbard and cause the Inscriptions to evolve, then won't my power increase exponentially?

With this in mind, Wang Baole's eyes shone, and he sighed deeply. Thinking of all the possibilities, he decided to attempt to refine the scabbard and observe the outcome of it. With that—instead of the precious Dharmic Artifacts that he had—Wang Baole retrieved several leftover second-grade Dharmic Artifacts from his storage bag that he had used in his previous refinement, many of which he had been unable to sell. He then ran toward the smelting furnace and started his refinement process.

It doesn't matter if I fail, but once I succeed, my Dharmic Artifacts will undoubtedly possess unimaginable power! However, due to the wild and uncontrollable nature of the evolution, even I myself do not know what will happen if the Dharmic Artifact evolves!

Wang Baole's eyes were filled with longing—unable to suppress the desire in him.

Will some kind of nascent Divine Armament appear?
