Chapter 1389: Chapter 772: Magical Treasure

Ascending to Golden Core!

Own Magical Treasure!

Mo Hua took a deep breath.

In the eerie and sinister refining room, Ouyang Mu was also astonished, then he shook his head and said:

“I’m only at the Foundation Building Middle Stage, I can’t yet forge the sword bone for my own Magical Treasure.”

The old monster cultivator said indifferently, “That’s why I said I would teach you. You just watch from the side and learn well.”

Ouyang Mu was hesitating, unsure of what to do, when Mo Hua transmitted a message:

“Let him teach you!”

This is a great opportunity.

Not only for Little Wood to learn artifact refining and the forging of sword bones, but also for me to eavesdrop on the essentials of ascending to Golden Core and crafting an own Magical Treasure.

This old monster cultivator seems to know a thing or two.

Mo Hua’s instructions, Ouyang Mu naturally followed.

Having received Mo Hua’s guidance, his acting has improved, and he feigned a conflicted facial expression, seemingly unable to make a decision, hesitated for a long time before finally sighing and saying:

“Alright, I’ll learn!”

The old monster cultivator was not surprised.

As a Sword-Casting Master, having the opportunity to learn how to forge one’s own sword bone is simply impossible to refuse.

How to nurture and refine one’s own Magical Treasure, every sect within the Qianxue State boundary teaches.

But how to forge the sword bone, using it as the core, and create an embryo for the own Magical Treasure from scratch…

This is one of the top secrets in sword casting.

Even those Twelve Sect refining specialists wouldn’t teach this to the Outer Gate disciples.

“Do you know the origins of own Magical Treasure?” the old monster cultivator raspily asked.

Of course, Ouyang Mu knew this.

He was a disciple of the Tai’a Sect with a long lineage in sword casting, and a direct descendant of the Ouyang Family, well-acquainted with sword casting, Golden Core, Magical Treasures, and such matters from a young age.

Ouyang Mu was about to nod when he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye, seeing Mo Hua’s transmission on his sleeve:

“Say you don’t know!”

When it comes to Magical Treasures, given Ouyang Mu’s upbringing in a sword-casting family, he naturally understood thoroughly.

But Mo Hua was rather clueless.

Occasionally, during sect lectures where Instructors cover some knowledge about Magical Treasures, either it was deemed too early to share too much,

Or it was assumed that all present were sons of noble families with ample family heritage, thus matters would typically be glossed over.

Mo Hua wanted to ask but sometimes didn’t know where to begin.

Moreover, this old monster cultivator seemed to know a lot, probably differing somewhat from what the sect taught.

Now’s the chance to let this old monster cultivator discuss it.

Ouyang Mu was mildly startled, his mind puzzled.

Isn’t this foundational knowledge concerning Magical Treasures something everyone should know?

“Vast divine skills,” “encyclopedic knowledge” Brother Mo, why does he want me to say I don’t know…

Ouyang Mu couldn’t quite grasp it.

But Brother Mo’s actions always have profound meaning, all he had to do was follow.

Ouyang Mu hesitated for a moment, just about to speak and say he wasn’t quite sure about Magical Treasures, when the old monster cultivator emitted a snort.

“Hesitant and unsure, must mean the skills are lacking, and empty-hollow…”

The old monster cultivator showed displeasure, “Even the basics of artifact refining aren’t well understood. The Tai’a Sect really is losing its roots, generation by generation…”

Ouyang Mu felt indignant but did not rebut.

This is what the old monster cultivator believes, saving him from needing to explain.

The old monster cultivator glanced at Ouyang Mu again, snorted coldly, feeling some “hate iron for not becoming steel,” “Since your skills are lacking, I shall teach you from start to finish…”

“You absolutely must remember this.”

Ouyang Mu nodded.

Mo Hua, who was eavesdropping, also nodded.

The old monster cultivator coughed, seemingly weary and unable to stand for long, so he hunched over, found a stone chair to sit on, took out a piece of white bone to fondle in his hand, then slowly began:

“Any cultivator, when breaking through to Golden Core, must first craft their own Magical Treasure…”

“Before breaking through, prep the Magical Treasure embryo in advance, when breaking to Golden Core, at the crystallization of spiritual power, integrate the treasure embryo with the core-forming spiritual power.”

“Qi-refining Realm spiritual power is like air, Foundation Establishment Realm spiritual power is like mercury, Golden Core Realm has crystallized spiritual power…”

“Only crystallized spiritual power can completely integrate and fully conflate with the solidified treasure…”

“Thereafter, this Magical Treasure belongs solely to you, spiritual power synchronized, lifelinked, strong together, damaged together.”

“As for the embryo of this own Magical Treasure, there are many considerations…”

The old monster cultivator slowly straightened up a bit, feeling slightly more comfortable, then continued:

“Sons of Great Families mostly use the top-grade Spiritual Artifacts passed down in their family as embryos for their own Magical Treasures.”

“These kinds of Spiritual Artifacts have a long heritage, with extremely precious materials of gold and stone, the craftmanship reaching perfection, forged through countless refining, to become an instrument…”

“And they are closely integrated with the family’s cultivation skills and Taoist skills, part of the tightly knit family inheritance system, the most superior Magical Treasure embryo…”

“Medium-level family, their inherited Spiritual Artifacts are somewhat inferior.”

“Small families are even worse, as most small families don’t even have inheritable Spiritual Artifacts and can only use ordinary Spiritual Artifacts instead.”

“As for loose cultivators, very few can even form a core, much less dream of the quality of their own Magical Treasure…”

The old monster cultivator sighed slightly, his gaze complex, “This is the true ‘inheritance barrier’ between great family clans, from the inheritance of cultivation methods to the monopolization of cultivation resources, seamlessly dovetailed, tightly fitted.”

“Small families, and even the average loose cultivator, even if they can form a core, with their lack of inheritance foundations and spirit stone wealth, they certainly can’t refine an eye-catching own Magical Treasure.”

“Even if fortuitous, refining a fine embryo, and nurturing a top-grade treasure, but if their inheritance isn’t systematic, and the cultivation technique and Taoist skill don’t match, compared to sons of great families, there’s still a significant gap…”
