Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Still the basement second floor, the artifact refining room.

The fire has already been ignited.

It is red, burning violently.

Xu Zhangqing places the Verdant Green Jade before him, then uses the Green Carp Carving Knife to cut it into three pieces.

Although there are large and small ones, it is not a big problem.

Because next, he will use another kind of tool.

What?

A file!

The main function of this thing is to cut, grind, or trim the surface of materials.

Sizzle~

Sizzle~

Sizzle~

The sound of friction rings out one after another in the quiet artifact refining room.

As Xu Zhangqing continuously grinds with the file, the three pieces of Verdant Green Jade of unequal size visibly turn into three rings of exactly the same size at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Wood Spirit Return Nest Ring is not one, but a set of three.

They can be used combined, or used separately.

Combined, the power is great, the effect better.

Separate, the power is small, the effect weaker.

After Xu Zhangqing grinds the surfaces smooth, he immediately brings over the Wood Spirit Marrow.

Immediately after, aiming at a position slightly below the middle, he uses a Verdant Green Bamboo tube to lightly poke inside.

As "drip" "drip" sounds ring out one after another.

Drop by drop, pure white Wood Spirit Marrow slowly flows out from inside.

Time passes minute by minute, the material pre-processing gradually completes.

At this time, Xu Zhangqing finds a rather large circular spirit artifact mold, and places the three identical Verdant Green Jade rings inside.

After everything stabilizes, he quickly pours the Wood Spirit Marrow into it.

Then places it on the fire to heat.

But he does not cover the spirit artifact mold, instead leaving it open.

After a while, the Wood Spirit Marrow boils into green light slurry.

Xu Zhangqing seizes the timing, takes out the three Verdant Green Jade rings again, then places them into the Ruquan Shui prepared at the side to quench.

With a sizzle, a wisp of fragrant grass-and-wood smoke rises.

Next, is endless repetition.

Once, twice... quickly reaching fourteen times.

Finally, spirit patterns emerge on the surface of the Verdant Green Jade rings.

Xu Zhangqing counts carefully, there are five in total.

It is common knowledge that 1 to 3 patterns belong to low-grade spirit tools.

4 to 6 patterns belong to high-grade spirit tools.

These five spirit patterns just reach the ranks of high-grade spirit tools.

Put plainly, they can be used to engrave at least five kinds of spiritual runes.

Since the name is Wood Spirit Return Nest Ring.

Then the Wood Spirit and Return Nest within it are obviously not for show.

Therefore, the first spirit patterns this spirit tool must engrave, two are already fixed.

One is the Wood Spirit Pattern.

One is the Return Nest Pattern.

The function of Wood Spirit is to communicate with the user on a deeper level.

And the meaning of Return Nest is to be able to control at will.

For example, release it out, or with a thought have it return to hand.

In this way, the space left for Xu Zhangqing to work with is only three spirit patterns remaining.

Among the numerous spiritual runes, he thinks back and forth, and gradually makes a decision in his heart.

For the third, choose the Bastion Pattern.

Main function: can raise the defense level of the spiritual shield.

Able to absorb more damage, thereby indirectly increasing the concentration of recovery energy.

As for the fourth, Xu Zhangqing thinks back and forth and chooses the Rotation Pattern.

When the spiritual shield is broken, it will automatically trigger, thereby accelerating the spiritual shield's recovery speed.

It looks, seemingly quite ordinary.

But in reality, at the critical moment it can save a life.

The fifth, he chose a higher-grade Endless Life Pattern.

This belongs to a passively triggered Spiritual Rune.

It can absorb overflowing Spiritual Power and circulate it on its own.

Its main function is to strengthen the entire Wood Spirit Return Nest Ring.

In this way, all the Spiritual Runes formed a closed loop.

Like its name, Endless Life, cycling endlessly.

Xu Zhangqing picked up the engraving knife and began engraving the first Spiritual Rune, the Wood Spirit Pattern.

Next was the second, the Return Nest Pattern.

The third, the Bastion Pattern.

The fourth, the Rotation Pattern.

The fifth, the Endless Life Pattern.

And the most time-consuming part was engraving the Spiritual Runes.

After all, Xu Zhangqing had not yet developed a technique in this aspect and could not consume Lifespan to improve.

Basically, he could only rely on previously accumulated experience and skill to engrave.

A slight carelessness could lead to failure.

Although failure allows continued refining and does not count as trouble, it is equivalent to accumulating experience.

The quantity of Green Jade is still plentiful for now.

Pity the Wood Spirit Marrow is pitifully scarce, only enough to support one more refining.

Once it is gone, he will have to collect it anew.

The critical point is, Wood Spirit Marrow over a Hundred Years old is hard to find.

Didn't you see Lin An spent several hours running back and forth several times before finding a suitable one.

If it succeeds in one go, he can refine another Wood Spirit Return Nest Ring.

One to gift to Senior Brother Li, one to keep for himself, wouldn't that be good.

In a flash, another hour passed, that is, two hours total.

Finally, all five types of Spiritual Runes on the first Wood Spirit Return Nest Ring were engraved.

In an instant, its surface began flowing with emerald green flowing light.

One look and you can tell it is a high-grade item.

If sold, it would fetch at least around 1000 Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Although it looks like a lot, compared to what Senior Brother Li gave him, it is actually quite little.

Last time he not only obtained One Mu of Second Grade Spirit Field, but also became the Black Rust Dynasty's Guest of Honor; the Middle-grade Spirit Stones he gains every year alone exceed Three Thousand.

Equivalent to three Spirit Tools of this grade.

The first Wood Spirit Return Nest Ring refining successfully let Xu Zhangqing breathe a sigh of relief.

He put it away first, then turned and left the Artifact Refining Room, directly going Outside.

Checking the time, it had already gone from morning to Afternoon.

Fortunately, he had prepared the food in advance and entrusted the Bastion to feed them.

Therefore, no need to worry that Wangwang and the Pearl Chickens would go hungry.

Sizzle sizzle~

The cicadas outside the house were still clamoring noisily.

Toward this, Xu Zhangqing did not disdain.

He even thought this is the real summer.

Atmosphere, sometimes, is more important than noise or clamor.

Just like that, he rested at the Gate for a while, recovering the consumed Spiritual Power.

Not long after, he walked toward the Basement Ru Kou again and began refining the second Wood Spirit Return Nest Ring.

With the first experience, the second time went much more smoothly.

Especially the steps, flame Temperature, and Wood Spirit Marrow Concentration were all grasped more precisely.

This time the duration was shorter than before.

He originally thought the grade aspect would become better, but pity things went contrary to wishes.

The number of Spiritual Runes did not change, still five.

This shows he can only engrave the Spiritual Runes like the first one.

Spirit Tool: Wood Spirit Return Nest Ring

Grade: High Grade

Spiritual Runes 5: Wood Spirit Pattern, Return Nest Pattern, Bastion Pattern, Rotation Pattern, Endless Life Pattern

Effect 1: Use Spiritual Power to guide the ring at the wrist to condense ten sharp wooden cones

Effect 2: The wooden cones release trace paralysis toxin, reducing target movement speed

Effect 3: Three rings combined can release a cyan-green explosion ball

Effect 4: When encountering an attack, it releases a layer of semi-transparent green Spiritual Shield

Effect 5: The Spiritual Shield will convert part of the absorbed damage into healing energy

Fortunately, in terms of the five basic effects, there was no change due to one less Spiritual Rune.

However it should be is how it is, no change.

Xu Zhangqing left a Double Imprint of Blood and divine sense, let one Wood Spirit Return Nest Ring Bond Mastery, then quickly left the Basement.

Because another two hours had passed, it was now evening.

The noisy cicada calls of daytime had given way to a clamor of insect chirps and frog croaks.

Although it was even more raucous, after getting used to it, it didn't matter anymore.

He even saw long-unseen fireflies drifting over the fields and ridges.

He walked step by step out of the Stone House, arriving at the Door Outside.

Wangwang, who disliked the heat, happened to be lying at the Gate; seeing his Master come out, he hurriedly got up while wagging his tail and yawning.

Xu Zhangqing crouched down and touched the dog's head: "You've worked hard!"

Wangwang immediately narrowed his eyes, revealing an expression of enjoyment.

After a while, his four feet kicked back and forth on the ground, looking extremely excited.

As the Master, Xu Zhangqing understood the meaning at a glance, and immediately fished out a pig leg bone.

Sure enough, upon seeing the bone, Wangwang's eyes brightened, and drool even flowed out.

After giving the reward, Xu Zhangqing rolled up his sleeve, revealing the three Wood Spirit Return Nest Rings worn on his right wrist.

Next, it was time to test the effect.
