Path to Heaven Chapter 182 – Cyan Search Silver Magic Staff and Set Artifacts

Chapter 182: Cyan Search Silver Magic Staff and Set Artifacts

“This is possibly the worst looking artifact I’ve seen.”

Inside the Earth Furnace room, the green gowned Old Man glanced disdainfully at a silver short staff in Wei Suo’s hands, that was still emitting out heat.

Apart from the fine talismanic patterns on the staff, there wasn’t any distinguishable features nor engravings. It was just round and had 5 holes on one side. Not only was it ugly, words couldn’t describe how pathetic it looked.

Nevertheless, Wei Suo was beaming with excitement as he gazed at this completed silver short staff.

Bear in mind, Wei Suo squandered three days and nights to successfully forge out this Cyan Search Silver Magic Staff. Solely for the second step of heating the staff into a semi-liquid state, he spent an entire day to learn how to control the fire properly. Anyway, forging a single artifact truly wasn’t easy. Besides, so what if it was ugly….it was just an artifact, just a tool and not a wife. Just being able to employ it would suffice.

Under the sn.o.bbish gaze of the Old Man, Wei Suo retrieved that yellow Elder Mind Devouring Bug magic pearl he prepared long ago, and embedded it into one of the holes on the staff.

The yellow crystal pearl was a little too big, and only half of it was embedded in. Nevertheless, with it, this Cyan Search Silver Magic Staff now at least possessed an additional ornament, and appeared slightly more appealable.

Seeing that there shouldn’t be a problem, Wei Suo attempted to channel true energy in.

Pu! Within a split second, an ash-grey radiance blasted out from the tip of the Cyan Search Silver Magic Staff.

Upon seeing that ash-grey radiance, Wei Suo’s eyes brimmed with ecstasy.

With a flush of his hand, he summoned out a ruinous silver artifact s.h.i.+eld.

This was the artifact s.h.i.+eld remnant left behind by those cultivators of the Tetrasea Hall. It wasn’t forged with any unique materials, but merely laced with a tiny controlling magic array. Although this artifact s.h.i.+eld was currently riddled with holes, it could still manage as a s.h.i.+eld.

Despite so, its defence couldn’t even reach the state of Half-Spirit cla.s.s, and wasn’t useful to Wei Suo at all.

Pu! Wei Suo unleashed the ash-black radiance of the Cyan Search Silver Magic Staff, as a beam crashed into the silver artifact s.h.i.+eld.

The silver artifact s.h.i.+eld instantly lost its divine light, and fell onto the ground right before Wei Suo.

After picking the silver artifact s.h.i.+eld and examining it, Wei Suo noticed that its surface was filled with uneven pockmarks; as though acid had corroded it.

The magic pearl of the Elder Mind Devouring Bug actually possessed the innate skill technique of an Elder Mind Devouring. Like Glimmering Yin Sand, it could corrode artifacts and other magic treasures!

Back when Wen Daozhou was desperately struggling, he attempted to stake his all with a beak shaped artifact. Instead, that Elder Mind Devouring Bug had unleashed this ash-black beam and utterly destroyed his artifact in a flash.

With this pearl, even if his opponent possessed true Spirit cla.s.s artifacts, it would suffice to usher a teapot of troubles for them in a head on confrontation would.

Furthermore, to Wei Suo’s delight, he remembered what the Old Man mentioned before. This magic pearl was merely a purified condensation of might. With every activation of the pearl, its might would lessen by a portion. Finally, when all its might is expended, the magic pearl would be rendered obsolete, and could only be discarded.

Yet after releasing two ash-black beams, Wei Suo noticed that the yellow pearl on his Cyan Search Silver Magic Staff didn’t dim as much. Evidently, it wouldn’t be a problem to activate it for several more dozens of times.

For such a good thing like this, employing it for dozens of times would already be an extremely long timeframe. It was definitely more enduring than the gourd of decaying fluid that old daoist used back at Cyan Wind Mound.

Upon recalling that, Wei Suo couldn’t help but slap his own head. He remembered that gourd was still filled with some decaying fluid that could probably be utilized for one last time.

After storing his Cyan Search Silver Magic Staff that could still be enhanced with four magic pearls, Wei Suo produced a green flying sword from his Treasure Receiving Pocket. This was the sword ravaged in holes by Glimmering Yin Sand, of which he obtained through a bitter struggle with that red robed evil cultivator, who s.n.a.t.c.hed his position in the Earth Furnace room a long time ago.

At present, the sword frame no longer s.h.i.+ning with divine light.

Wei Suo proceeded to open 32 golden toad mouths of his Earth Furnace.

Following 32 streaks of earth flames blazing out, the entire caudron morphed into a blazing inferno as the room temperature skyrocketed.

With a flick of his hand, Wei Suo tossed the green sword frame into the inferno. Fiery tongues incessantly rummaged around the periphery of the green sword frame, and after a brief while, the sword frame only turned slightly heated red. Evidently, the melting point of the combination of Silver Dipper Essence and Heaven Mystery Essence was manifolds higher than the Cyan Search Silver.

But of course this wasn’t strange at all. Flying swords were meant to a.s.sault enemies. If it could be easily melted by fire, then it shouldn’t even be hailed as a flying sword.

“You probably need to open another 5 furnace openings.” After an astute a.s.sessment, the green gowned Old Man suggested to Wei Suo.

Wei Suo nodded and consecutively opened 5 more golden toad mouths. Following 5 more streaks of blazing fire, the sword frame finally reddened with fiery intensity.

The Old Man nodded and spoke, “Good, let’s begin.”

Wei Suo didn’t say much. With a flick of his hand, a wave of Xiantian True flames were conjured out of his hands before transforming into a fireball. As it slowly morphed in midair, it gradually changed into the shape of a white awl.

Dang! Dang! Dang!

Then, the Xiantian True flames congealed into a hammer, as it started pounding repet.i.tively onto the reddened sword frame. Metallic clankings resonated repeatedly.

Spectating the scene, the Old Man snorted but his eyes flashed with a trace of satisfaction.

It truly seems like a Fire Spirit Root cultivator was much more skillful in controlling fire elemental skill techniques than ordinary cultivators. Still, a Fire Spirit Root cultivator would minimally require 10 plus days in training to reach this step. However, Wei Suo only used 3 full days, before starting to smelt this sword frame with his Xiantian True flames.

While the Old Man was looking pleased, Wei Suo adopted a bleak expression. This was because the difficulty of smelting this sword frame, wasn’t at all inferior to him forging the Cyan Search Silver Magic Staff.

While maintaining a good control over the intensity of his Xiantian True flames, he still had to manage the strength of every hammer. Once the fire intensity of his strength exceeded by a sliver, the essence metal involved would be struck flying.

……

Every time the white Xiantian True Flames hammer pounded down, the sword frame would cave downwards slightly, before being straightened back up by the vigorous earth flames beneath. Sparks scattered with every pounding, as random minute chunks of metal flew out occasionally, before being incinerated into dust by the earthflames.

Under the incessant hammerings, the sword frame was slowly pounded into a regiment by Wei Suo.

After nearly half a day, Wei Suo, whose true energy had clearly depleted, directly produced 5-6 True Recovery pellets and swallowed them. Most of the True Recovery pellets was still with Wei Suo, while only a small portion had been brought back by Han Weiwei.

Henceforth, for a long period of time, Wei Suo probably wouldn’t need to purchase such pellet medicines anymore.

After a short rest and recovering his true energy, Wei Suo conjured out his white Xiantian True Flames hammer again, and started smeling once again.

This time, he clearly exerted greater force while smelting.

After another half of the day pa.s.sed, a regiment of reddened essence metal was now being pounded and pressed into half its original size. Shockingly, under Wei Suo constant hammering, the essence metal had taken the shape of a knife.

Dang! Dang! Dang! After repet.i.tive poundings for another quarter of the day on this knife, sparks no longer dispersed from it. Then, Wei suo carefully picked up the knife blade of this forged knife, and started grinding it with utmost care. Only when the blade of this knife achieved exceptional incisiveness, did Wei Suo stopped.

Following that, Wei Suo activated a water elemental skill talisman. A waterball appeared in mid air, and within an instance, splashed against the reddened knife.

Psshh! White fumes spiralled up and lingered around the knife. Then, it seemed as though the knife had contracted a little, before a shade of deep green coated over it.

Without waiting for the heat to disperse, Wei Suo quickly lifted the knife to examine it.

The knife frame appeared incredibly delicate and fine, its texture was now incomparably superior than its previous green flying sword form. Through the blade of this knife, and especially at the blade’s edge, countless chrysanthemum-like decorative patterns had been crafted.

After fondling it admiringly for a long while, Wei Suo stretched out his hand and produced a goldish glittering object. It was actually an Upper-tier level 3 Gold Armoured Wasp carca.s.s.

When he sliced the knife against the sh.e.l.l of the Gold Armoured Wasp, a crack was instantly sliced through its sh.e.l.l that was as tough as profound iron.

“Haha!”

Witnessing such a scene, Wei Suo chuckled with elation. Then, he retrieved 25 Mid-tier level 4 Firefeast Gem Lizard carca.s.ses out.

Next, Wei Suo started carving the bodies of these Firefeast Gem Lizards with his knife.

As it turned out, Wei Suo wanted to try using these demonic beast carca.s.s to practice forging some artifacts. Nevertheless, ordinary knives could not cut through the sh.e.l.ls of many demonic beasts.

That was why Wei Suo adopted the suggestion of the green gowned Old Man, and employed the red robed cultivator’s flying sword to be forged into an incomparably sharp knife.

Moreover, this knife was forged in preparations for the countless other artifact frames that he will forge in the future.

Right now, Wei Suo wanted to attempt forging the ruby like sh.e.l.ls of the Firefeast Gem Lizards, into an artifact s.h.i.+eld.

When the green gowned Old Man decides to act, it definitely wasn’t going to be a mediocre object. For this artifact s.h.i.+eld that he taught Wei Suo how to forge, it was actually a set artifact s.h.i.+eld comprising of 20 sides. This meant that upon summoning them out, it was like basically summoning out an entire set of 20 artifact s.h.i.+elds that would simultaneously hover around his body.
