Chapter 65: The Aura Book
Weapon Forging is a technique that records the most perfect moments.
Essentially, it involves using various methods to imprint Spiritual Law into materials so that spirit energy can be directly infused for use.
The Mingzhu bamboo sword, as a Spiritual Tool, does not actually contain any Spiritual Law; it is a basic Spiritual Tool, and its enhancement is far less than that of a true Spiritual Tool. Its greatest value lies in extending attack distance.
Just like the Azure Flame, it cannot be separated from its source; no matter how strong its destructive capacity, its effectiveness is limited.
However, practitioners of Physical Law can utilize the Azure Flame to its fullest, striking down anyone in their path.
But Yun Ye cannot do that; he can only rely on surprise attacks with the Azure Flame, and his attack distance is indeed a weakness.
If he had a Spiritual Tool to help extend his attack distance, it would be different.
The Mingzhu bamboo sword increases attack distance by one meter, which may not seem significant, but what if it were a thread-like Spiritual Tool?
The Azure Flame is invisible, so if it clings to a thread, it becomes a terrifying weapon.
Then, weaving an ordinary net for capturing souls could potentially trap countless prey.
“Lord Yang Shi, it’s time to eat. Don’t tire yourself out.”
Chunyu gently knocked on the door.
“I’m coming.”
Yun Ye glanced outside and noticed that he had lost track of time; it was already dark.
When studying such matters, time truly flies by.
Since the prelude ended, he immersed himself in research, occasionally going out to hunt demons and gather materials, and recently, he finally completed the basics of Weapon Forging, crafting the desired Spiritual Tool… and two whole months had already passed.
Shaking his head, Yun Ye stood up and walked into the hall where the two sisters had prepared tea, snacks, fruits, and A-level Superior Food.
Yun Ye didn’t intend to waste time eating, quickly finishing his meal while occasionally sipping the special medicinal tea that aids digestion.
It was hard to find Spirit-level superior food in Hongshan, so he had to settle for extra portions of A-level superior food instead.
Using some digestive spirit tea was a decent substitute.
Halfway through eating, Xiahua and Chunyu exchanged glances, and the bolder Xiahua asked, “Lord Yang Shi, are you ready for the challenge slots? It’s already October, and this year will end soon.”
“Is this year really coming to an end? I didn’t expect it to arrive so quickly,” Yun Ye paused his actions, continuing to eat without providing an immediate answer.
“Lord Yang Shi, um… we hope you can stay!” Chunyu spoke softly.
“Oh? Why?”
“You are a good person.”
“A good person, ha ha… Who can foresee the future? I am merely doing my best to hold onto my position; I cannot decide the strength of my opponents.”
But that was enough.
The two sisters thought this in their hearts and silently bowed to Yun Ye, ending the conversation.
…
Under the light of the fire fruit tree and the spirit lantern, Yun Ye continued his research.
He had already completed his first set of Spiritual Tools.
Currently, it is in the debugging phase.
During the monster hunt in the prelude, Yun Ye discovered a new Extreme Flame to mark the Thousand-eyed Demon.
This is Halo Fire.
It is a light wave with no attack power and cannot be concentrated into something like a laser.
At that time, Yun Ye had never considered using this ability for attack, as that would be a sheer waste.
Halo Fire, which can transmit at the speed of light, is the perfect means of information transmission; if made into a communicator, Yun Ye and the Yang Family could share information without delays.
Based on this goal, Yun Ye spent the last two months continually researching materials compatible with Halo Fire and finally created the corresponding Spiritual Tools.
In total, there are four pieces.
At first glance, they appear to be four ordinary notebooks with understated grey covers, and opening them reveals very standard accounting data.
Yun Ye opened one, infused his spirit energy into the center, and instantly, the blank pages displayed Chinese characters.
“Fingerprint verification in progress…”
“Spirit energy verification in progress…”
“Verification passed.”
“Access unlocked.”
“Messages can now be sent or recorded.”
Next, Yun Ye flipped to the latest page, where most of the space was blank, but the first three lines contained a few words.
‘Number Two: (Blank)’
‘Number Three: (Blank)’
‘Number Four: (Blank)’
These characters were not Chinese but understandable Luozhao script.
Yun Ye clicked on Number Two, and the text changed again; the lines for Numbers Three and Four disappeared, replaced by the words for input and send.
Yun Ye wrote on the page with his finger, and black characters automatically appeared where he wrote. The connection was a bit intermittent but sufficient, and he quickly penned a line of text.
After clicking send, the line jumped from the bottom few lines to the second line.
Yun Ye then opened the second book and went through the verification.
First page:
‘Number One: Can you see this?’
‘Number Three: (Blank)’
‘Number Four: (Blank)’
“The adjustments are finally complete; this should be enough!”
Yun Ye let out a long sigh.
The three books had basic message transmission capabilities and even included privacy settings, making them unusable by outsiders. This was already a mature solution, and he felt the long adjustments were worthwhile.
With these three books for contact, he wouldn’t have to be involved in various subsequent matters; he could communicate directly through the “books.”
“What should I name them? Communication Book? No, that’s too obvious; the name gives away its purpose."
"Halo Book? … No, I might use Halo Fire in the future, and that carries a risk of association."
“Let’s just give it an ordinary name, hmm~~~ how about ‘Accounting Book’? It disguises itself well as accounting data, making it a reasonable name.”
Thus, Yun Ye’s newly created Spiritual Tool was named ‘Accounting Book.’
If he had the opportunity in the future, he might rename it ‘Halo Device’ or ‘Book of Dialogue,’ but for now, he would just call these books the Accounting Books.
Currently, these four books correspond to Yun Ye, Shuzhu, Yang Shu, and Wang Yao, and tomorrow he would take on a task to send out the “Accounting Book.”
“Speaking of which, it seems a bit off for a student like Wang Yao to have an Accounting Book?”
Yun Ye pondered for a moment.
He modified them slightly.
In the end, the four books were changed to ‘Accounting Book · Yang Shu,’ ‘Diary · Shuzhu,’ ‘Manual · Yun Ye,’ and ‘Notes · Wang Yao.’
After making the changes, Yun Ye had a complex expression.
Although he wasn’t part of any organization, it still felt peculiar.
While others had code names like Fool, Hanged Man, Celestial Lord, and Immortal King which sounded grand, when it came to his codes—
I am Accounting Book!
I am Diary!
“…”
“Well, it’s just the name of the Halo Book, not a code name; maximizing safety is what matters most.”
Yun Ye shrugged off the matter and fell asleep.
The next day, Yun Ye left Hongshan with the four Halo Books.
Today, two months later, Yang Shu and Shuzhu had both fully mastered the Qi Cultivation Technique.
As for himself, he too had reached the foundation to awaken his Spirit Sense!
