Chapter 2722: Refining's Miraculous Effect, As If Controlled by One's Own Arm

The Northland countries' reactions were very firm and very swift; Xia Duo agreed with this point very much, so he was also considering whether to join that time-related magic research institution.

If he were allowed to join using a projection, then he would join; it would be just right to understand the relevant developments at the first opportunity. If he could not use a projection, then he would still have to consider it more.

However, after the Winter Solstice Festival, he could indeed first use a projection to check it out. If he could pass, then he would join; if he could not, then that would also be a good thing, indicating that Demon Descendants also had no way to use similar means to sneak in.

……

After finishing the message, Xia Duo realized that under conditions of interference, he was afraid it would be very difficult to complete the refining process, so he simply put away the communication magic tool and cast a spell to send a message to Niya, telling her not to disturb him unless there was something particularly major.

Afterwards, he made slight adjustments and began a new round of the refining process.

This time, there was no interference of any kind, only the "beep," "beep" sounds emitted by the detection instruments in the laboratory; gradually, even the beeping sounds became somewhat distant.

Xia Duo almost forgot everything around him; even the act of refining itself became somewhat blurred. Everything was done almost instinctively. He did not know how much time had passed when Xia Duo suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and broke free from such a self-forgetful state.

Just as he was preparing to complain about his own distraction, he suddenly realized something and hurriedly looked at the jade tablet in his hand. At this moment, the jade tablet was still held in his hand, but it was different from the extremely clear sensation of a foreign object before.

Now, he felt that holding the jade tablet was like holding his other hand, or more accurately—another part of his body that had suddenly grown out!

Moreover, the other two types of divine water did not have any side effects; it was just that their efficacy was rather lackluster for Elves, but for humans, they were still quite useful.

Thinking this way, Xia Duo had a few more expectations for refining the treasure mirror.

He carefully distinguished, and could even perceive the texture of his fingertips!

As for this Wisdom Lamp, it could ignite distracting thoughts to increase wisdom, but Xia Duo speculated that if used too much, the user might eventually become an individual possessing only pure rationality.

Moreover, compared to before, his entire person had entered the levitation field of the detection focus area. There was no gravity here; Xia Duo was completely relaxed, holding the treasure mirror in front of his chest with both hands, and then he began the refining process.

This had already completely exceeded the scope of emotional attachment or psychological feeling, and what followed was Xia Duo's attempt which further proved this point—

……

At the very beginning, the detection instruments did not emit any warning alarms for abnormal changes in the treasure mirror's parameters, but Xia Duo had long been prepared for the inability to refine it, so he did not have too many obsessions in his mindset, but rather continued to refine with such a peaceful state of mind.

Since he was currently going to attempt to refine other Eastern magic treasures, Xia Duo was worried about being adversely affected by the Wisdom Lamp, so he did not consider that one, but chose the seemingly more harmless Dark Treasure Mirror.

This kind of feeling was hard to describe; it was somewhat similar to a magic item after synchronization, seemingly integrated with oneself at the perception level, but this perception was not the normal five senses of the body.

Perhaps this was what the Buddhist school called the "state of great liberation of perfect wisdom."

As for the Moonlight Divine Water's restoration of youth and the Starlight Divine Water's longevity efficacy, for Elves, they were also very lackluster; Elves only show obvious signs of aging when their lifespan is about to end, and they have many spells for longevity.

No, Xia Duo recalled the two Eastern treasures he had previously brought back from the Projection Plane—the treasure mirror and the Wisdom Lamp; those two treasures did not require "refining" like the identity token before use.

Based on this point alone, this identity token surpassed many magic items he had seen before!

It was just a pity that although Sunlight Divine Water could strengthen the physique, the cost would weaken the user's Magic Net Affinity, which could almost be considered poison for Elven Mages.

Netheril Magic is different from Elven Magic; a spellcaster does not need to consider their own Magic Net Affinity, so even if refining the mirror itself might be affected by the side effects of Sunlight Divine Water, Xia Duo did not have too many worries.

Thinking about it now, either the identity token was relatively unique, thus adding a refining process, or those two Eastern treasures could also be refined!

Moreover, the most critical point was that the production method was similar to magic items of the Main Plane, and it had even undergone very strict encryption measures; because it was a unique item, Xia Duo had not conducted any destructive exploration.

But now, after refining, the feeling this identity token from the Eastern World gave Xia Duo was that it was one with him; even when he closed his eyes and gently stroked the surface of the jade tablet, he could produce a feeling of directly brushing against his skin.

Xia Duo was almost too surprised to speak; the scene was extremely similar to the magic treasures he had imagined before; controlling it was as if it were an extension of his own limbs, without the slightest obstruction.

Therefore, until now, his understanding of those two Eastern treasures was actually not much.

As long as it was confirmed that the previously obtained Dark Treasure Mirror and Wisdom Lamp could be refined, then at most one or two days would be enough to prove this point.

Hearing the sound, even though Xia Duo did not have too many expectations beforehand, at this moment he still could not help but raise the corners of his mouth.

And during this period, he could still obtain the jade tablet's perception of the outside world, and could even control the jade tablet to move at will, just like controlling his own hands.

Returning to the study to brew a pot of tea and resting for a moment, Xia Duo returned to the laboratory; this time he still used the detection instruments to monitor the relevant parameters of the treasure mirror.

After about half an hour, still some distance from the one-hour time limit Xia Duo had set, the multiple monitoring instruments in the laboratory sounded one after another.

Thinking of this, Xia Duo could not help but take out the Dark Treasure Mirror that he had not taken out for a long time; this treasure could transform the three-light divine water of the sun, moon, and stars, possessing the efficacy of strengthening the physique, restoring youth, and longevity.

If it could be refined, perhaps he could even control the treasure mirror to transform into Sunlight Divine Water without side effects!

It was not a special perception of the Magic Net; the body's normal five senses would still constantly remind the user that the magic item after synchronization and oneself were not the same existence.

Perhaps it was also because of such drawbacks that this treasure, which seemed to be more suitable for mages, was first abandoned by Saint Nuode, then shelved by Wuweilun, and finally fell into Xia Duo's hands.

Not to mention, the lifespan of Elves themselves far exceeds that of humans.

"Sure enough, there is a hidden refining method!"

He moved his left hand, which was still holding the jade tablet, out of the scrying focus area where the levitation field was set up, came to the space with normal gravity, and let go; the jade tablet actually floated in the air.

The former could not be verified for the time being, but if he wanted to verify the latter, it was not difficult; after all, the current Xia Duo had already initially figured out the refining method for Eastern magic treasures.

It was precisely because of these various lackluster aspects that Wuweilun was willing to trade this treasure to Xia Duo.

"Could this be a psionic creation unique to the Eastern World?"

"This—"
