The megaphone had been a longtime companion of Wang Baole. He had it when he was at the Ethereal Dao College. The megaphone had been a tremendous aid numerous times in the past, and he had refined and upgraded it repeatedly. In the end, it had been the lack of suitable materials that had ended his repeated upgrades. He had refined it until it could no longer be refined.
Wang Baole held onto the megaphone and stared at it for a very long time. After some thought, he set it aside and began rummaging through his storage bag again. He pulled out three flying swords in the end. They were each of a different color. The blades showed the classic signs of being refined under the Divine Eye civilization’s Dharmic Armament system. Even though they were sharp, ninth grade weapons, they were nevertheless merely Dharmic treasures at the Nascent Soul realm.
They had been severely damaged, but after Wang Baole had arrived at the Divine Eye civilization, he had used them as practice targets when learning the Dharmic Armament system of the Divine Eye civilization and had repaired them.
Then, there were the five ancient copper coins as well. They had been of some help to him too, but they were simply dead weight now. Wang Baole had kept them because of their unique appearance. Now that he had taken them out again, he took the chance to take another good look at them. He was about to set them aside again when he suddenly let out a sound that was colored with suspicion.
Something isn’t quite right with these coins. Wang Baole froze momentarily. He brought the coins closer to his eyes and examined them carefully. He could no longer recall the details of how he had gotten these coins. They seemed to have come from the storage bag of some inner sect disciple’s body that he had discovered in the Vast Expanse Dao Palace ruins, but he wasn’t sure. He hadn’t spotted anything strange about them in the past, but now, as a perfected Spirit Immortal realm cultivator, he could see that there was something special about these coins.
Especially… the material that the coins were made of.
Galactic Stone Dust? Wang Baole’s eyes widened gradually. He hadn’t come across such a material when he had been in the Divine Eye civilization, but he had seen it being sold in the market that was owned by the Xie family. He knew that this was a precious material required for the crafting of Eternal Stars. It was worth a fortune and was rare. If one were to calculate its cost based on standard Federation measurements in grams, one gram of Galactic Stone Dust would cost at least hundreds of thousands of Red Crystals!
The price of Galactic Stone Dust increased exponentially after the first ten grams. Wang Baole had a feel of the weight of the five coins in his hand. He believed that they weighed more than five hundred grams.
Wang Baole was worried that he might have made a mistake. He suppressed the intense excitement bubbling inside him, rubbed his eyes hastily, and inspected the coins carefully again. Finally, his eyes widened, and his breathing grew uneven.
I was right! Heavens, I didn’t know that I was this rich! Wang Baole almost leaped into the air out of excitement. He looked around instinctively before slipping the coins carefully into his storage bag. He then patted the storage bag and sighed a long sigh.
It’s not safe keeping these coins on me. It’s a pity that I can’t move around easily now. If I could… I would hide these coins with my true form. Wang Baole was still bubbling with excitement. He wasn’t sure how he had gotten his hands on the coins at the moment, but he now knew their value. He was extremely curious about the true origins of the coins.
They were crafted from such costly material, so there must be some other use for them! Wang Baole was struck with a sudden thought. There might be other priceless treasures in his stash, treasures whose worth he hadn’t been able to discern in the past. He opened his storage bag and started inspecting each item inside carefully.
Unfortunately, the coins were the exception to the rule. Wang Baole didn’t manage to find anything else as precious as the coins after rummaging through his storage bag.
He sighed, then his eyes fell on the flying swords and his megaphone. He had some materials that he could use to refine artifacts in his storage bag, but not a lot. He could only refine one Dharmic Artifact. After some thought, Wang Baole decided to set the flying swords aside and picked the megaphone up.
You’re it! At Wang Baole’s current level of cultivation, with his skill at refining Dharmic Artifacts, and at his current location, it would hardly be any trouble for him to refine the megaphone. He was only going to switch the materials that had gone into the megaphone with something else and imprint a new set of inscriptions onto it.
Because of Wang Baole’s Eternal Star Fire, the megaphone gained the unexpected elemental ability of fire. In order to strengthen this ability to its fullest, Wang Baole swallowed the megaphone and housed it in the Eternal Star Fire that was burning inside him.
The Eternal Star Fire inside his body had been a product of Little Wu’s cultivation technique. This was the most powerful aid that Wang Baole currently had when it came to refining artifacts.
He nourished the megaphone with his Eternal Star Fire carefully. Then, Wang Baole took another look at his storage bag. The storage ring rested inside, and another incredible treasure was lying inside the storage ring.
It was… the Galaxy Bow!
I can’t seem to work this bow, though. What a pity. Wang Baole shook his head with regret. After the lightning chase had ended, he had tried the bow on his journey back. No matter how hard he had pulled, the bowstring just wouldn’t budge. Based on Wang Baole’s assessment, he would have to at least be at the Planet realm before he could work the bow.
I still have my intrinsic scabbard and the mosquitoes inside it… not to mention the scabbard’s hex-like strands. However, the scabbard is kept with my true form. Wang Baole shook his head. He decided not to think about his Dharmic treasures and instead started considering the divine powers he possessed.
First, there’s the Demonic Eye Art… It has the power to bind my enemies and pose a threat to a Planet realm cultivator. If I were to stage a sneak attack successfully, I could slay a Planet realm cultivator with the Demonic Eye Art. It can also absorb the spirit energy of my enemies. The more enemies I cut down, the more powerful I become! After some deliberation, Wang Baole decided that the Demonic Eye Art would be his primary divine power in battle.
