It seems to be a world where the boundary between illusion and reality is extraordinarily blurred.” Black’s brows furrowed slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first batch of wizards who entered sent back vague reports, but the core points to one thing—in there, a single misstep can lead to sinking into illusions, unable to distinguish true from false.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fortunately, preliminary judgment is that they haven’t suffered heavy casualties; it’s more like they’re trapped. So our group is going for support and rescue.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked up, gaze focusing on Jie Ming through the screen. “Thus, I hope you can craft a witch artifact for me with the core function of resisting illusions or mental interference. I don’t know much about alchemical products, but I’ve heard you have ways with special witch artifacts.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Jie Ming wasn’t pondering weapons; he thought of another aspect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black’s request illuminated a blind spot in his own defense system.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly calculated inwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With myriad methods—from black giants to rune witch artifacts, Mysterious Astral Mortal Dust Barrier to internal cave heaven—it seemed comprehensive, but resistance to high-intensity illusions and mental interference was indeed lacking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Mysterious Astral Mortal Dust Barrier defended curses and countered prophecies but fared poorly against direct mind-twisting forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Body Forging Method’s adaptive resistance was strong but passive, requiring time to activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t always rely on the Body Forging Method to tough it out…” Jie Ming thought darkly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black’s request offered a perfect practice opportunity to test what protective gear his technology could produce.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clarifying this, Jie Ming nodded, responding calmly. “I understand the situation. Crafting a witch artifact to resist illusions and mental interference—no problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shifted tone, stating conditions. “For pricing, I can give you a discount. But I have a requirement—you must provide complete post-war data on the artifact’s specific performance in that plane war, including activation states, energy consumption, protection thresholds, encountered interference types and intensities—everything recordable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black pondered briefly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Exposing artifact parameters meant leaking some combat intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But conversely, for such valuable firsthand data, Jie Ming would undoubtedly invest more effort, likely ensuring higher artifact quality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For someone stepping into unknown dangers, benefits outweighed drawbacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Agreed.” Black nodded after slight thought. “I’ll do my best with data recording.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Jie Ming was crafting this specific function for the first time, and Black’s requirements were broad, deposit and delivery timeline were hard to pin down immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Black considered and gave a clear deadline. “I have about a year to prepare. As long as it’s completed within a year, it’s fine.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One year is sufficient.” Jie Ming nodded, accepting the commission. “Then, once preliminary design is done and costs and specifics estimated, I’ll contact you to finalize details.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, thank you.” Black concluded, and they ended the call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The screen dimmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the call, Black sat in his laboratory, not fully at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His sudden contact with this near-unacquainted same-year genius stemmed from his mentor—Oswald’s suggestion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Originally, Black planned to seek another alchemist more familiar and specialized in mental protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But before deciding, Oswald learned of it and casually remarked, “Perhaps ask that kid Jie Ming?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though puzzled—Jie Ming showed no particular mental protection expertise in academy—trusting his mentor’s eye, Black tried contacting him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the call, Jie Ming instantly pierced his unconscious “presence dilution” and recognized him, startling Black and reevaluating Jie Ming’s true strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet subsequent exchange showed Jie Ming seemingly unfamiliar with such artifacts, lacking mature schemes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This contradiction left Black uncertain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After all, it’s that kind of place… better have backups.” He mused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hesitating, Black reopened his contact list, fingers sliding over familiar names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Maybe… commission another similar artifact as insurance…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought, selecting the next potential collaborator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ending the call with Black, Jie Ming didn’t start immediately but habitually deduced first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the experiment table, fingertips unconsciously tracing the smooth surface, two related knowledges rapidly integrating in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For protection against illusions and mental interference—whether wizard-system “mind protection studies” or Great Dao Book Pavilion’s “soul-stabilizing” and “delusion-breaking” arts—the core principles broadly fell into three categories:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, augmentation—like armoring the mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sustained release of states like “mind barrier” or “heart-clearing incantation” boosted mental resistance, passively repelling external intrusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advantages: preparable in advance, stable against common interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disadvantages: limited duration, capped intensity—exceeding threshold could shatter protection instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Second, awakening—like an emergency alarm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the user’s mind fell, trapped in illusion, forceful soul stimulation—like “soul-anchoring clear tone” or “pain feedback arrays”—forcibly roused them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advantages: targeted, reversible for active interference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disadvantages: reaction delay; awakening strength depended on interference intensity and artifact power—if illusions too deep, awakening could fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, isolation—constructing an absolutely safe “mind chamber.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly erecting barriers around consciousness, fundamentally severing internal-external information exchange, rendering illusions and mental interference untouchable to the core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Advantages: once-and-for-all; while intact, near-immune to similar influences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disadvantages: massive energy drain; maintaining required constant high consumption, severely testing material and rune\u002Farray stability; could impair normal external perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, after eons of development, wizard artifacts or cultivation heart-protecting treasures were rarely single-type—mostly composite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But limited by material rune capacity and energy flux, same-tier artifacts emphasized certain functions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pursuing all three powerfully demanded higher-tier materials, skyrocketing costs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Final products might appear mediocre at tier, unremarkable across aspects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jie Ming analyzed with Black’s intel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If the entire plane is problematic, almost certainly, illusion attacks surge like tides upon entry. High ‘first-encounter kill’ risk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“User also faces a plane war potentially lasting decades. Artifact needs ultra-long combat sustainability. Interference intensity unknown—mild or abruptly spiking in areas.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on this, he quickly eliminated augmentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Augmentation’s duration was a hard flaw—frequent activation or maintenance unreliable in unknown long missions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More dangerously, fixed intensity failing plane erosion could leave the user unknowingly afflicted—worse than no protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Awakening was shelved next.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though more proactive than augmentation, it required the user already affected—dangerous “window period.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In perilous foreign planes, even a second’s cognitive deviation could be fatal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, insufficient awakening strength against plane-level interference rendered the artifact useless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thus, the safest scheme—solve at the root: isolate the user’s consciousness core from external illusion forces entirely.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>with clear objective, isolation became optimal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Create a pure mental space, safeguarding Black’s consciousness—let external wonders rage; I remain unmoved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This maximized avoidance of instant submersion upon entry, providing stable long-term protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet isolation’s known drawbacks emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Non-activated, long standby possible; activated, astonishing consumption and wear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing worst-case—plane-wide powerful mental interference and illusions—isolation duration might even fall shorter than augmentation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prolonged high-load operation extremely tested core material durability and rune structure stability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meaning crafting such an artifact would cost dearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Far from daunted, Jie Ming’s eyes brightened slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“From a product perspective, high wear seems more suitable…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, beyond data collection, it was for profit—the more the user spent, the more he earned!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Black needed top-tier safety, paying premium was fair exchange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent, just do it.” Jie Ming’s lips curved in a smile, hesitation gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Action now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He rose immediately; laboratory lights brightened, multiple auxiliary computation and design screens activating simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>",1228,"2026-05-29T05:51:28.179Z","2026-06-01T04:29:22.045Z",1,"novelbin.me","e93a0d2faf9c96317741baf4bf6e483e5981832fc688c37b185c738be3814c49","i-arrived-at-wizard-world-while-cultivating-immo-chapter-330","i-arrived-at-wizard-world-while-cultivating-immo-chapter-328",695,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-arrived-at-wizard-world-while-cultivating-immo-cover.jpg"]
