Chapter 205: A Flourishing Variety
“The essence of the weapon refining technique lies in merging the characteristics of spirit mines or removing the negative characteristics that cause adverse effects.”
“The entire weapon refining technique can be divided into three parts. The first part is smelting. Use extremely high-temperature flames to melt the spirit mines and vaporize any impurities inside.”
“The second part is extracting negative characteristics. There are countless negative characteristics within spirit mines, and not all can be removed using the weapon refining technique. Some negative characteristics can be ignored if they have a minimal impact.”
“The third part is refining, which involves incorporating the characteristics of other spirit mines into the main material, allowing them to complement each other and enhance the properties of the main material, or even give the main material additional characteristics…”
Yi Chen briefly introduced the weapon refining technique through his divine consciousness, starting to teach the precautions during the process of refining spiritual artifacts and treasures.
Compared to the complex and difficult Chaos Technique Methods and Principles of Techniques, the weapon refining techniques were much simpler, mainly focusing on the fire laws.
After about half an hour, Yi Chen allowed the top geniuses to explore on their own.
Once everyone was ready, he had two guards bring a batch of low-grade spirit mines.
Soon, all one hundred and two top geniuses used their divine consciousness to control a piece of spirit mine, attempting to melt it with the flames of the weapon refining technique.
…
“So fast?”
“No wonder Yi Chen used his divine consciousness to teach the skills; it only took a few hours for the Heart Tribulation Stage Chaos Technique.”
“Now, in just one or two hours, the top geniuses of the Flame Mountain Tribe have already started trying out the weapon refining technique.”
“I hope the difference between learning through divine consciousness and indirect instruction won’t be too significant.”
“There is a difference, but it shouldn’t be too great. After all, those learning first are the top geniuses of our Federation of Humanity.”
“They have outstanding comprehension. Even if we only tell them the Methods and Principles of Techniques and energy circulation pathways, they can gradually figure it out on their own.”
“I hope so. I wonder when spiritual artifacts and treasures will start to become more common.”
“That’ll take some time. After all, these top geniuses still need to train to improve their realms. Their main focus will be on cultivation, not weapon refining.”
“For spiritual artifacts and treasures to truly become widespread, we must wait for the next tier of geniuses to break through to the Heart Tribulation Stage.”
“If only potion making could spread as well…”
In the live room, the audience felt a mix of emotions.
They were frustrated but also incredibly excited that the weapon refining technique was finally being taught.
Unfortunately, most people lacked the talent needed.
For spiritual artifacts and treasures to become widespread, it would take a while longer.
This made the audience eager for the sixth Skill Teaching to come as soon as possible.
Once potion making gets popular, various spirit pills that improve talent and training speed will constantly emerge.
The Federation of Humanity would undoubtedly experience a significant rise in their strength realms, just like the tribe members of the Flame Mountain Tribe.
…
After the top geniuses of the tribe managed to grasp the weapon refining technique and reach the level where they could produce first-grade spiritual artifacts, Yi Chen’s voice echoed in their minds once again.
“With your current strength realm, it will only take some time before you can refine a first-grade spiritual artifact.”
“With a little practice and familiarity, creating a second-grade spiritual artifact will also not be difficult. Those with talent in refining can even try to craft third-grade spiritual artifacts.”
"However, everyone else should continue focusing on cultivation. The four armies can have their leaders arrange personnel to take turns refining batches of second-grade spiritual swords to distribute to the warriors, enhancing the overall strength of the four armies."
"The Heart Tribulation Stage practitioners from the Political Council can attempt to refine other types of second-grade or above spiritual artifacts for the four armies."
Yi Chen arranged, "The specific spiritual artifacts that can be refined depend on the spirit mine materials of first and second grade."
"Defensive types, offensive types, and supportive types have countless characteristics. The combinations of their functions are ever-changing, relying entirely on your own exploration and discovery."
"Understood!"
The top geniuses in the Heart Tribulation Stage responded respectfully.
"Next, we will discuss the Cloud Treading Technique, Heaven-Slashing Technique, and Method of All Laws, which are suitable for your cultivation in the Heart Tribulation Stage!"
Yi Chen focused his thoughts and used his divine consciousness to teach the three modified skill methods he had refined in just one day to the top geniuses.
"Once you break through to Heart Tribulation Stage One, you can begin to explore your own specialties based on your comprehension."
"These specialties represent your deeper understanding of a certain direction of the power of the laws or a specific law."
"For example, some have a deeper understanding of the wind laws and possess greater talent in that area."
"Others may have different perspectives on speed, believing that true speed is not merely about being fast, but about being agile and unpredictable."
"And some believe that the sword is the true weapon. It is domineering, fierce, and unstoppable. They have a deeper understanding and insights regarding sword intent."
Yi Chen slowly said, "You can begin to integrate your thoughts and insights into your techniques."
The one hundred and two top geniuses showed expressions of deep contemplation.
Yi Chen continued, "The Heaven-Slashing Technique is an offensive technique. It can currently be divided into two types of attack methods: sword energy attacks and flying sword attacks."
"Whether it is sword energy or flying swords, the integrated insights will vary, affecting their power differently."
"In terms of sword energy, you can strive for quicker speeds, greater power, and even more unpredictable effects with a faster casting speed."
"For flying swords, you can also pursue speed and strength, or control several, dozens, or even an uncountable number of flying swords at once, making it impossible for others to discern where the flying swords are."
"Do you all understand what I mean?"
The geniuses furrowed their brows, carefully pondering Yi Chen’s words.
After a moment, Guli couldn’t help but ask, "Does the leader mean that we can develop our own characteristics based on your teachings? Even create our own path of skills based on your techniques?"
"Exactly!"
Yi Chen nodded in approval. By allowing diverse growth and perspectives, the potential of the tribe members can be fully discovered.
Helping each tribe member to find the most suitable path for their cultivation will enable the Flame Mountain Tribe to develop more rapidly.
His personal energy was limited, and he could only nurture the trunk. The branches and leaves must be extended and expanded by the top geniuses of the tribe.
"With your talent and current realm, you can already begin walking a path of your own."
"This path starts with developing your own specialties. Identify the laws you excel in and integrate your insights into various techniques to leave your unique mark."
"For example, with the Heaven-Slashing Technique, some may have faster speeds, some may wield greater power, and some may have flying swords that are even more unpredictable."
"The Cloud Treading Technique and Method of All Laws are similar. Some may have stronger lightning, some may have more powerful flames, and some may have stronger water arrows."
After a pause, noticing the understanding on everyone’s faces, Yi Chen continued, "The next step is to carve your own path. Based on the Heaven-Slashing Technique, create sword techniques and spear techniques."
"Using the Method of All Laws, create unique spells based on your strengths in the laws."
"For example, techniques that can track enemies with lightning, spells that create numerous soldiers with a wave of the hand, or techniques that immobilize enemies," he elaborated, "even transforming into different forms with spells."
"You could also create cultivation techniques suitable for various physiques based on the Chaos Technique."
"Remember, you must reach the maximum potential of the first step before attempting this."
Yi Chen instructed, "Moreover, you can only attempt to create skills that are below your two major realms."
The top geniuses nodded in agreement.
They understood Yi Chen’s intention.
The first step would enhance their strength and make them stronger.
The second step was actually aimed at improving the overall strength of the tribe.
Given their talents, it was unrealistic to expect them to create higher-level techniques in the Heart Tribulation Stage like Yi Chen did, or to independently create a technique without any foundational knowledge and experience.
Even within Heart Tribulation Stage Nine, creating techniques at the same realm could take an entire lifetime and might only happen with a stroke of insight.
Even from the Heart Tribulation Stage, creating skills from the Spirit Consciousness Stage would demand dedicating all their time and energy for decades or even centuries.
This was a scenario Yi Chen could not allow.
The Flame Mountain Tribe already had limited high-end combat power; if a top genius dedicated all their time to creating skills, their realm would naturally improve slowly.
By the time they finally created a technique of the same level, the other top geniuses would likely have already advanced two or three major realms, easily creating better techniques than them.
This would be clearly counterproductive.
Only when Yi Chen’s talent reached its limit and he could no longer create superior techniques in the same realm would it be necessary for generations of top geniuses to spend long periods creating skills at the same level.
Once accumulated to a sufficient extent, a superior technique might emerge, raising the ceiling of cultivation paths.
But Yi Chen’s talent had no limits.
