Chapter 113: Blazing Flame Flag (2)

All Things Return to One!

Emphasizing its singularity!

The so-called spirit guidance ultimately returns to the strength of the soul's essence.

Wang Ping had already condensed a false divine sense during the Qi Refining Great Perfection, and when breaking through the limit of his will, he broke through the second stage of the first layer of the Soul-Refining Heart Sutra.

Therefore his soul's essence is extremely formidable.

This caused his cultivation of All Things Return to One to be extremely smooth; he almost mastered it in just three breaths.

Thinking of Master Chiyanzi's words that the gifted can comprehend it in three days, while the dull-witted might never grasp it in a lifetime.

What does that make me? Wang Ping's mouth curled slightly; being able to master the All Things Return to One Spirit Guidance Technique so quickly, his mood is still quite good.

The Red Flame Tiger Bone and Gathering Yang Stone have begun to fuse, and Wang Ping's All Things Return to One has started operating.

At the same time, he formed hand seals, and the Heaven and Earth Mighty Power descended.

The greatest difference between refining a magic treasure and refining a magic implement lies in that one passively infuses Heaven and Earth Mighty Power, while the other actively draws it in.

The magic treasure already possesses a hint of spirituality, which lets it instinctively draw in Heaven and Earth Mighty Power.

Whether related Heaven and Earth Treasure Patterns can form is greatly related to the cultivator, but the amount of pattern formation is related to how much Heaven and Earth Mighty Power the magic treasure draws in.

Materials with strong spirituality draw in many Heaven and Earth Treasure Patterns, while those with weak spirituality draw in little Heaven and Earth Mighty Power.

This is merely the most basic kind; when materials begin to fuse, their various spiritualities also fuse, and the changes may further strengthen or further weaken the spirituality.

Basically, magic treasures with three patterns or fewer are all in this situation!

From this, one can also judge the strength of spirituality after multiple materials fuse.

If the Heaven and Earth Mighty Power is drawn in quickly, it indicates that the magic treasure's spirituality fuses well; if drawn in slowly, it indicates the spirituality does not fuse well.

Basically, upper-grade magic treasures, namely those with seven or more patterns, have excellent spirituality fusion.

However, the quality of a magic treasure's spirituality fusion does not have an absolute direct influence on the formation of related Heaven and Earth Treasure Patterns.

Wang Ping continuously employed All Things Return to One, while focusing intently on the situation of the Heaven and Earth Mighty Power being drawn in.

At first it was slow, but as time passed, the flow speed of the Heaven and Earth Mighty Power became ever faster!

Wang Ping relaxed in his heart; with such a drawing speed, at the very least a four-pattern magic treasure will form.

At this moment, he summoned the Fire Cloud Cloth; to make the Fire Cloud Cloth become a channel for releasing fire, the three must begin to connect when spirituality starts to fuse.

This is another hurdle; the newly added Fire Cloud Cloth easily disrupts the already stable spirituality, and this disruption likewise has both good and bad aspects.

At this point, it depends on the equipment refiner's eye for selecting materials and whether their experience is sufficient.

When the Fire Cloud Cloth contacts the flagpole still in a solid-liquid mixed state, it directly rolls up, wrapping the two-foot-long section at the top.

This is the beginning of the fusion; the already stable flow speed of the Heaven and Earth Mighty Power increases again.

This indicates that the spirituality of the three fuses well.

The temperature of the earth fire has already dropped; the Blazing Flame Flag has basically taken shape,

and once it is fully set, the next step is when the Heaven and Earth Treasure Patterns appear!

From the start of refining the implement until now, half a month has passed; today is the sixteenth day, and also the time when the Blazing Flame Flag is fully formed.

Outside, the sky had just begun to lighten; inside the refining room, a clattering sound had already arisen!

A fiery red flag automatically floated in the air; its five-foot-long pole showed a pale red, and a span wide about one and a half chi, length about two chi of red flag cloth fluttered without wind.

This is the Blazing Flame Flag refined by Wang Ping; it has now been fully formed.

The Heaven and Earth Mighty Power had just disappeared; this indicates that the first pattern will soon form.

Not long after, in the time it takes to finish a cup of tea after the Heaven and Earth Mighty Power vanished,

The entire Blazing Flame Flag trembled slightly, and a red pattern appeared on the pole!

This pattern spread toward the flag's surface, and immediately after, a second pattern appeared, likewise.

First, second, third! Appearing one after another, Wang Ping smiled and nodded slowly; this indicates they are all mutually related pattern diagrams.

Moreover, a fourth and then a fifth pattern appeared in succession.

Wang Ping clenched his fists tightly, the five related Heaven and Earth Treasure Patterns.

Such a result can be said to have greatly exceeded Wang Ping's expectations.

Hum!

The refining room's space trembled slightly, five red rays burst forth; if Wang Ping had not laid down two formations here, plus the refining room's own formation, these five rays would surely burst out of the room and manifest outside!

This is the phenomenon that occurs when condensing five related patterns while refining a magic treasure.

This phenomenon is also strong evidence supporting the magic treasure's puzzle pattern.

After the five related patterns appeared one after another, after a while the sixth and seventh pattern diagrams appeared, separated by ten breaths.

Thus, the Blazing Flame Flag is now fully formed.

A seven-pattern upper-grade magic treasure, with five related pattern diagrams, can be refined into an upper-grade natal magic treasure.

Such a magic treasure's price is comparable to that of an eighth-grade magic treasure.

Because it represents a possibility: the possibility of forming a complete magic treasure puzzle.

The five related pattern diagrams, whether the remaining two or the two that will later be nurtured and born, the chance of another pattern appearing is almost ninety-nine percent.

Here is an interesting phenomenon: the more related patterns formed initially, the greater the chance, through continual nurturing and sacrificial refining, that related treasure patterns will be born in the subsequent years.

Wang Ping was still admiring his work in the refining room, unaware that outside, because a seven-pattern upper-grade magic treasure had appeared at the Gathering Treasure Workshop, a commotion had erupted.

Nearly all the fire-system cultivators of the Gathering Treasure Workshop were about to crowd into the shop renting and selling the cultivation cave where Wang Ping was in seclusion.

It's no wonder these cultivators are so frenzied; an upper-grade magic treasure has every chance, through long-term nurturing, to become a nine-pattern magic treasure, and after filling the patterns with one's body, it is very likely to become an ultimate-grade magic treasure.

How much combat power such a magic treasure can add for a cultivator, and moreover it can serve as a family heirloom treasure; if this magic treasure can cooperate with Dao techniques, it will drive Foundation Establishment cultivators even more crazy.

Tie Lanshan, Zhang Zuo and several people, watching that crowd of over fifty Foundation Establishment cultivators, couldn't help but feel somewhat helpless!

Fortunately, everyone is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, each with their own composure; they merely stand here, continually sizing up the entrance of the refining room with their eyes.

Inside the artifact forging room, Wang Ping gripped the flagpole with one hand; a warm feeling spread, and holding it was very comfortable.

Whoosh! The flag surface unfolded, and on the fiery red flag cloth was a constantly jumping flame pattern.

Gripping it, Wang Ping could feel the surging immense flame power within.

If used in conjunction with a fire-system cultivation method, its power would probably be astonishingly strong.

This is a magic treasure refined by Wang Ping, and he decided to keep it for himself.

This magic-treasure refining greatly improved his artifact-forging experience!

But that wasn't enough; Wang Ping set himself a goal—to refine at least five more magic treasures before he would begin crafting the Heaven-Overturning Seal and the Diamond Pestle!
