Chapter 67
Fortunately, the raw materials Jie Ming needs are concepts, not some real object; as long as this light is the "moonlight" in people's minds, he can collect the relevant concepts... white moonlight won't work. For more novels, go to TTKS. TW.
A full moon in Plane Nuolun 13 is not very common; it can generally only be seen once every three months, and today is the right time.
At the peak of the plateau, Jie Ming faced the cold moonlight that seemed to wash and refine all things, operating the specialized light-collecting mental cultivation method learned from the Great Dao Book Pavilion.
The concept of moonlight is different from morning glow; it does not possess explosive power, but carries a characteristic of being calm, introverted, and seemingly able to penetrate everything.
Jie Ming touched the moonlight with his spiritual sense and felt not an impact, but a gentle wrapping.
He patiently guided his true essence, like weaving a soft net, to capture the artistic conception of "tranquility" and "continuity."
When Jie Ming came back to his senses, looking at the wisp of warm brilliance in the depths of his dantian, he did not hesitate and immediately took out a bottle of liquid.
This is rootless pure water; simply put, it is dew containing spiritual energy.
It is also very simple to make; Jie Ming directly simulated the condensation environment of dew in the laboratory, and then released his true essence to soak an area, and he obtained quite a lot of materials.
He introduced the captured concept of moonlight into the rootless pure water, and then carefully nurtured it with true fire.
Under the guidance of Jie Ming's intention, the concept of moonlight merged into the water like dye, causing it to emit a faint silver-white halo.
The water droplets seemed to have turned into miniature moons, emitting a cold and gentle light—this is "Light-Essence Spirit Dew," an artifact-refining raw material that condenses the concept of light.
The reason why the Five-Element Rainbow-Transforming Mirror does not need a special furnace or equipment to be made is that most of the processing is already completed when collecting raw materials; the five different lights must be made into raw materials in different ways.
Fortunately, except for the concept of light which is more troublesome, the rest are basically easy to find; Jie Ming only needs to re-process them with his own true essence.
After one night, Jie Ming successfully condensed four drops of moonlight Light-Essence Spirit Dew and carefully stored them in a refined gold bottle.
The third concept to be collected is the light of stars.
The light of stars contains the concepts of "distant anchor" and "constant attraction."
It represents the characteristic of constant light rays that penetrate the endless void and point to a clear direction.
When collecting, one needs to choose a bright and stable starlight on a clear, moonless night to resonate with it.
Other things are fine to talk about, but a moonless yet starlit night is not easy to find in this plane.
For this reason, Jie Ming went to a huge desert in the hinterland of the continent.
The night here has no light pollution, and the sky is like black velvet, inlaid with billions of twinkling gems.
Most importantly, the water element in this region is thin enough that the projection of the water element plane cannot be reflected, meeting the requirement of being moonless but starlit.
Under the starry sky, he chose a plane-level strategic creation marked as "Titan's Grip" on the map as the main source of starlight.
This kind of wizard-made object is absolutely stable enough; unless wizard civilization is destroyed, it is basically impossible for it to change.
Capturing the concept of stars, the most difficult part is to feel that "remoteness" and "constancy" that spans infinite distances and remains unchanged after passing through ancient times.
This requires extreme patience; after trying for more than half a month, Jie Ming finally grasped the knack, feeling as if his spiritual sense had penetrated the entire plane and touched that distant end.
Once a wisp of concept is captured, it feels like holding a firm "coordinate" in one's hand.
He introduced it into a pure crystal and carefully condensed it with true fire and spiritual sense.
The concept of stars condensed into a tiny "Light-Condensed Crystal Sand" in the crystal, flickering with the light of a star.
It does not have the sharpness of morning glow crystal sand, nor the softness of moonlight spirit dew, only the feeling of an "anchor" stably pointing to the distance.
He spent several more moonless nights in the desert and successfully condensed three portions of star Light-Condensed Crystal Sand.
The collection of the fourth and fifth concepts happened at the same time.
This time, Jie Ming specifically found a region with a unique climate and waited for a full month in the dry season before waiting for a grand thunderstorm.
The concept of splitting thunder light contains "instantaneous momentum" and "tearing power," which is the most explosive and dangerous concept among the five.
It is not the muffled thunder in the sky; collecting this concept requires close contact with the moment lightning strikes, capturing the residual electricity that has not yet dissipated.
Jie Ming chose the highest point in the center of the thunderstorm and set up several protective talisman wizarding tools as insurance.
When a dazzling purple lightning struck, tearing the air and making a deafening roar, Jie Ming operated the light-collecting mental cultivation method almost at the same time, instantly probing his spiritual sense into the residual thunder light that existed briefly.
That is the pure concept of "explosion" and "destruction," carrying violent and uncontrollable power.
The moment his spiritual sense touched it, Jie Ming felt as if his brain had been struck by an electric current, a burst of severe pain.
Relying on his tenacious will, he grabbed that wisp of concept and quickly introduced it into a special crystal sensitive to lightning energy.
Crack!
The crystal shattered at the sound, but inside it, a grain of "Light-Condensed Crystal Sand" flickering with dazzling purple-white light existed tenaciously.
It carried a feeling of extreme explosion and tearing, as if it would explode at any time.
During the thunderstorm, Jie Ming repeatedly took risks and tried.
He was injured in many places by the scattered lightning energy, and several protective talisman wizarding tools were scrapped.
In the end, he successfully condensed three portions of splitting thunder light Light-Condensed Crystal Sand, each carrying a heart-palpitating aura of destruction.
The final light of rainbows contains "bridge of crossing" and "illusion of reality"; Jie Ming had tried a few times before, but only captured a small amount of concepts.
After the thunderstorm cleared this time, a clearer and more spectacular double rainbow appeared in the sky.
The concept of rainbow light was quickly introduced into the rainwater that was also collected during the thunderstorm, guided by true fire and spiritual sense.
This time, the condensed "Light-Essence Spirit Dew" emitted a gorgeous seven-colored light, like a miniature rainbow bridge, containing the obvious meaning of "connection" and "illusion."
Thus, in less than a year, Jie Ming traveled to several corners of this plane, and at the mountain peak in the early morning, the moonless desert, the grassland after the rain, and under the violent thunderclouds, he successfully collected the five most important light concept materials.
Each successfully condensed carrier contains a unique light and conceptual aura.
Jie Ming carefully put away these precious conceptual materials.
"Next, it's time to refine the Heart Mirror."
He already possesses the "soul" most important for refining the magic treasure; what needs to be done next is to build the "bone" and "flesh" to carry these concepts—condensing the vessel embryo of the magic treasure and connecting it with his own mind.
