Chapter 69

This is where the benefits of having two cultivation systems are seen.

The operation of truth runes does not require Jie Ming's attention; a continuous stream of elemental power is absorbed, transformed, and forms new true essence to replenish the consumption.

As for fine guidance and control... the first wizardry model Jie Ming independently constructed was alchemy!

Of course, even with such a big advantage, he must maintain absolute focus.

Once distracted and the concept goes out of control, not only might the vessel embryo shatter, but even the spiritual sea itself might suffer damage.

Having successfully integrated the first portion of morning glow crystal sand into the vessel embryo, the golden-red light of the vessel embryo became more introverted, but the cracks on the surface were more obvious, emitting an unstable aura.

Next is the second material—the Light-Essence Spirit Dew of the rainbow.

The seven-colored spirit dew was introduced into the spiritual sea; as soon as it entered the vessel embryo, it produced a violent conflict with the morning glow concept inside.

The illusion of the rainbow and the sharpness of the morning glow seemed incompatible like water and fire; the vessel embryo vibrated even more violently, almost collapsing!

Jie Ming drove the true fire and spiritual sense again, stabilizing both sides while also starting to reconcile the concepts.

This is a game at the conceptual level.

He is not melting materials, but reconciling thoughts, properties, and rules.

Failure!

The vessel embryo shook violently, the cracks on the surface spread instantly, and then collapsed with a bang in the spiritual sea!

"Cough, cough!"

Jie Ming suddenly coughed violently, his face instantly turning pale as paper.

The spiritual sea was in severe pain, and his soul felt as if it had been torn apart; this is the backlash of artifact refining failure.

He slumped on the ground, covered in cold sweat.

"I was too anxious; the conflict between concepts is greater than I imagined... and I haven't fully understood the connection between different concepts." He climbed up from the ground, reflecting on the reasons for failure.

Concepts originate from the consciousness of living beings, so dealing with them is naturally more idealistic.

Dealing with the conflict between concepts is less like dealing with different materials and more like doing reading comprehension.

"Damn! Reading comprehension is what I'm least good at!"

Unable to help sighing, Jie Ming glanced into the spiritual sea.

The interior of the spiritual sea suffered severe shock; fortunately, it quickly returned to stability under the operation of the truth runes, but the damage suffered could not be recovered in a short time.

The previously made vessel embryo had completely shattered, and a large part of the damage Jie Ming just received was the mental shock brought by the vessel embryo series.

The light concepts suffered no loss; after filling the vessel embryo, they each condensed into light groups emitting different brilliance.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, encountering this situation, the next thing to do should be to first repair the damage to the spiritual sea, and then spend another year or two condensing the vessel embryo again.

"Saying that one can refine magic treasures at the late Qi Condensation Stage, this thing is completely 'theoretically refinable'!"

Jie Ming finally understood that if a normal late Qi Condensation Stage cultivator dared to refine this magic treasure alone, they would definitely be pitted to no end.

As for Jie Ming...

"Let me see... Tier 3 Soul Repair Potion, can perfectly repair all damage to the soul, only applicable to life forms below Tier 3 formal wizard... A bottle of potion is only 10,000 points? Buy!"

"Forget it, just in case, five bottles at once!"

Less than a minute after placing an order on the Magic Network, Jie Ming received the potion he bought from the laboratory's teleportation platform.

Decisively picking up a bottle of potion in a test tube and drinking it in one gulp, feeling the coolness coming from his soul, Jie Ming closed his eyes with satisfaction.

With the assistance of "money" power, it took Jie Ming a total of one minute and twenty seconds from suffering damage to full recovery.

As for the shattered vessel embryo...

Jie Ming's consciousness reappeared in the spiritual sea, waved at the truth runes beside him, and immediately more than a dozen small light spots floated to his side.

For him, the most troublesome part of condensing the vessel embryo is finding the right model from the structures of various truth runes.

And the advantage is that as long as the right "point" is found, the rest is assembly line work.

As Jie Ming gathered these small light spots together with ease, another perfect vessel embryo floated in his hand.

Thus, one minute and thirty seconds after the first failure, Jie Ming started his second attempt at artifact refining.

Jie Ming is indeed not good at reading comprehension, but at worst, he can try a few more times; he will always find the perfect method.

After grinding for a few more days, he successfully introduced the five light concepts into the Heart Mirror vessel embryo one by one, and under the calcination of true fire and the guidance of spiritual sense, let them merge inside the vessel embryo.

Finally, after all the light concepts were successfully introduced and initially merged, the vessel embryo underwent its final change.

It trembled violently in the spiritual sea, and then, a powerful attraction came.

It was not attracting spiritual energy outward, but inward!

It began to absorb the pure true essence in Jie Ming's body, as well as his soul origin.

This is the key step in magic treasure refining—connecting with one's own mind and drawing the master's power as the cornerstone for growth.

As true essence and soul origin were absorbed, the light of the vessel embryo became more and more intense, but its volume began to shrink; at the same time, its form also began to change.

The illusory spiritual body, after absorbing the master's power and integrating concepts, began to move toward tangibility!

Jie Ming felt a peculiar sense of connection established between himself and the vessel embryo.

Following the guidance of the Great Dao Book Pavilion, he guided the vessel embryo that was becoming tangible out of the spiritual sea and toward the Laogong acupoint in his palm.

The Laogong acupoint in the palm is an important acupoint on the human meridians and is also the key point for condensing and releasing true essence and magic power.

Many similar magic treasures choose to manifest here when they are first formed.

A warm feeling appeared in Jie Ming's palm, and the light emitting five-colored flowing light gradually condensed in his palm.

At first, it was a blurred outline, and then the texture became clear.

Finally, when all the light converged, what lay in his palm was a thin, small round mirror only the size of a palm.

The material of this mirror is peculiar; it is neither metal nor jade, translucent, and as warm as jade.

Its surface is as smooth as water, without corners, and the mirror frame is also integrated.

And inside it, five types of light of different colors and forms are slowly swimming like living things, intertwining and entangling, forming a gorgeous and mysterious scene.

This is the vessel embryo form of the Five-Element Rainbow-Transforming Mirror, the natal magic treasure connected to Jie Ming's mind—the Five-Element Rainbow-Transforming Mirror!

The intangible and formless concepts, through the bearing of the vessel embryo and the refining of true fire and spiritual sense, were finally condensed into a tangible and substantial object!

Of course, at the current stage, it does not have the ability to transform into light and escape; it is just a preliminary embryo.

But this marks that the most difficult and basic refining steps of the Five-Element Rainbow-Transforming Mirror have been completed!

Jie Ming looked at the small round mirror in his palm, and a gratified smile appeared on his face.

Next, it is the step-by-step nourishing process.
