Zhao Hailin's withdrawal, while causing a huge commotion, also thoroughly built up the reputation of the Crossed Dharmic Artifacts. Combined with the small number of them, they soon became rare items.

Even though this scuffle had come to an end and it was no longer trending, the three words 'Crossed Dharmic Artifact' were deeply ingrained in the hearts of people. One could say that almost everyone knew about them. Naturally, many people started guessing the identity of the Crossed Dharmic Artifact creator.

However, Wang Baole was full of regret. Zhao Hailin's withdrawal made him extremely dejected—he felt that he had learned a lot from this friendly exchange of ideas with Zhao Hailin.

Not only did he gain a deeper understanding of Numinous Treasures, he was also more confident about his capabilities in creating them. Previously, he had no confidence in creating a Numinous Treasure, but now, Wang Baole felt like he could start refining Numinous Treasures.

As for exposing himself as the creator of the Crossed Dharmic Artifacts, Wang Baole thought for a while and felt it inappropriate to do so. On one hand, the Crossed Dharmic Artifacts did indeed have problems. On the other hand, Wang Baole personally enjoyed the feeling that he had his own brand on the light side and the Crossed Dharmic Artifacts on the dark side. Having these two brands on the light and dark side made him feel like he was really powerful.

The high officials' autobiographies once said that, in one's glorious life, people used many titles to describe them. Right now… I can be considered to have met that criteria.

Although he might have misunderstood the meaning of the quote, he felt that he was very extraordinary at that moment.

With a prideful smile, Wang Baole started officially researching and refining third-grade Numinous Treasures. Combined with the various methods that he understood from Zhao Hailin's videos, other than his fixed daily routine of refining Armament Sand, he spent almost all his attention on refining third-grade Numinous Treasures in the days that followed.

At that point in time, his list of rewards from the Spirit Breath Village was finally recorded and sent to him. Wang Baole took a rough look, and even he got a shock.

Over 13,600 items…

Wang Baole had not counted the specific number of items when he ransacked the Spirit Breath Village. Now that he saw the items, he finally understood why the Dao College had taken so long to record down the items.

This number was way too large. That was especially so because all of the items had to be entered into the Dao College's records. Hence, it had taken a longer time for them to be sent to Wang Baole.

In fact, there were over three thousand items with effects unknown even to the Dao College. These items were specially marked in the list.

After checking, Wang Baole discovered that he could choose over one thousand items from the list of the items. However, for items such as corpses and pills, he could not take everything. He could only choose at most one item from each category.

After contemplation, Wang Baole chose to keep half of his right to choose the items and gave the other half back to the Dao College in exchange for Spirit Stones of equal value. Immediately, the number of Spirit Stones that he had grew to an alarming amount.

Seeing the massive number of Spirit Stones that he had in his account, Wang Baole was extremely excited. He took a deep breath after a long while.

I'm rich!

His eyes glowed. Seeing how he suddenly had so many Spirit Stones, he bought many ingredients he could not bear to buy in the past few months in one shot and started refining new third-grade Numinous Treasures.

But the difficulty of refining third-grade Numinous Treasures was still immense even though Wang Baole had already come to understand a lot more.

Two months passed, and Wang Baole had accumulated seven thousand pieces of Armament Sand after a lot of effort. Finally, he succeeded once after going through countless failures.

He had refined his first Numinous Treasure!

This Numinous Treasure was nothing special. It was a flying sword named Heaven Wave Sword.

Once released, this sword could conjure waves. While its aura was alarming, its offensive power was also impressive. Although it could only be considered ordinary among third-grade Numinous Treasures, and it could not cleave through perfect second-grade Dharmic Artifacts per se, it could still cause them to break into fragments.

Wang Baole was extremely excited after experiencing the Heaven Wave Sword's power, but he understood that to become an Armament Soldier, it was not enough for him to only know how to refine a Heaven Wave Sword.

After all, the Armament Soldier test in the Dharmic Armament Pavilion was a huge deal. After asking around, he understood the rules clearly and knew that every Armament Soldier test required the examinees to prepare a Numinous Treasure for the test.

The main point of the test was the excellence level of the Numinous Treasure. A third-grade Numinous Treasure was just the most basic requirement. It was possible to become an Armament Soldier by randomly refining a Numinous Treasure, but it depended very much on luck!
