547 The Mysterious Dried Frui (2/2)

Wang Baole smiled when he heard what Kong Dao said. He shared the same intentions. However, they needed some time to plan this carefully. It was easy to kill someone, the difficult part was cleaning up after.

”There's a high chance of someone finding out if we do it in the sword handle. That should be our last resort. Keep an eye out on him. Check if Li Bin will be visiting the sword body any time soon. If he does, we'll make sure he doesn't return!” After some thought, Wang Baole shared his intentions with Kong Dao. Kong Dao then left.

Wang Baole watched as Kong Dao vanished into the distance. He returned to his cave abode, picked up the jade box, and opened it again. He took out the dried fruit inside and took another sniff. The sensation of his senses clearing up resurfaced. He studied it in detail and confirmed that if he continued to absorb the spirit energy given off by this fruit over a prolonged period of time, his spiritual senses would definitely improve.

A heavenly fruit that can enhance one's Spiritual Sense… Wang Baole licked his lips. He had half a mind to swallow the fruit whole. However, he hesitated as he stared at the shriveled form of the fruit.

I can't eat it recklessly. What if it gives me food poisoning… At that thought, Wang Baole decided to return to the Vast Expanse Dao Palace to research more on the fruit. He wanted to know if he could find more information on the fruit. Wang Baole tried calling out to Little Missy as well, but she didn't respond to him. He knew Little Missy's character. She would always pretend to be asleep when it came to matters that she knew nothing about!

Wang Baole sighed at that thought. He sat down and began to meditate and stabilize the growth in his cultivation after his earlier massive absorption of Spirit Qi. When the following morning arrived, he walked out from his cultivation and headed straight for the Vast Expanse Dao Palace to research the fruit.

A month soon passed. The Federation Seedlings had spent a full year in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace.

According to the agreement between the Federation Seedlings and Feng Qiuran, the second batch of Federation Seedlings should be arriving soon. However, Wang Baole realized that the Vast Expanse Dao Palace didn't seem to be carrying out any preparations for the second batch's arrival. That caused Wang Baole to fall into thought.

During the past month, he had spent some battle credits and searched through many records. He tried to locate information on the fruit. After some searching, he found as many as six types of fruits that fit his search criteria. Each one had extraordinary properties, and they were all similar, which made it difficult for Wang Baole to tell them apart at once.

This didn't interfere with his cultivation with the dried fruit though. During each cultivation session, he would place the dried fruit before him, and his spiritual senses would come to life. They had shown significant development in the past month.

That translated to clear results in his refinement of Dharmic Armaments. Even though Wang Baole was still unable to refine an actual eighth-grade Dharmic Armament, out of every ten attempts, he had managed to create an eighth-grade Dharmic Armament that could be used twice instead of once.

Most importantly, he could clearly sense that he was moving in the right direction. As long as his spiritual senses continued to improve, there would come a day when he would finally be able to refine a true eighth-grade Dharmic Armament!

Once I can refine an eighth-grade Dharmic Armament, based on my proficiency in Dharmic Armaments and the battle credits I can and will exchange, I'm confident that I can enhance the scabbard to the level of a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament!

Wang Baole lifted his head. His eyes shone with anticipation and excitement. His scabbard had been a challenge to enhance all this while. There was the challenge of acquiring materials. There was also the fact that it was different from ordinary artifacts and posed a great challenge during the refinement process. Wang Baole had a feeling that if he should fail during the refinement process, he would also suffer considerable damage.

It was still manageable when the scabbard was at the level of a sixth-grade Numinous Treasure. However, enhancing a sixth-grade Numinous Treasure to a seventh-grade Dharmic Armament was a critical stage when a Numinous Treasure became a Dharmic Armament. That was why Wang Baole was especially careful.

There's also the spear. When I can finally refine an actual eighth-grade Dharmic Armament, I'll have the ability to repair it. Even though it won't be restored fully, it would still be able to unleash incredible power. Wang Baole's eyes shone. He had also been practicing the Lightning Immortal Transformation as well as the Thearch Armor inheritance during this period. His progress with the Lightning Immortal Transformation proceeded without any hiccups. The avatar he summoned had a clearer form.

There was still no progress where the Thearch Armor inheritance was concerned though. His suspicion that he lacked a catalyst of sorts began to grow. Wang Baole felt that he was only missing a critical step.

Perhaps what I lack is a kind of enlightenment… That can't be right. What exactly am I missing… Could it be a demonstration?
