Chapter 2616 - 1194: Mysterious Flood Dragon Horsetail Whisk (Part 2)
Chapter 2616: Chapter 1194: Mysterious Flood Dragon Horsetail Whisk (Part 2)
“Young friend speaks reasonably.”
Dustless True Monarch nodded repeatedly after listening.
If their Dao Morale Sect wants to sell ordinary Three Lights Divine Water, it would likely upset the Star Temple. With Chen Mobai willing to bear the brunt, he doesn’t have to worry about this anymore.
After all, no matter how strong Yuanchen True Monarch is, he cannot be stronger than the old flood dragon above the Mysterious Sea.
“I remember the weak water pool of the Dao Morale Sect can produce sixth-level Azure Blue Essence Crystal, which could be used to refine the Jade Pure Glass Bottle…”
Just then, Ni Yuanzhong suddenly said.
Dustless True Monarch and Shenxi couldn’t help but look at each other.
Chen Mobai was also stunned on the spot.
When the Primordial Clock was upgraded, Dao Morale Sect supported them with an Azure Blue Essence Crystal out of humanistic reasons, unexpectedly from the water of this pool.
“In the Weak Water Pool, there is still a mature sixth-level Azure Blue Essence Crystal. If a fellow Taoist needs it, I am willing to trade. However, the last sixth-level Magic Artifact refined in the Tianhe Realm was already by ascended Yi Yuan True Monarch. Even though your Path of Artifact Refining is peak mastery, careful consideration is still advisable.”
Dustless True Monarch continued thoughtfully following Ni Yuanzhong’s words.
The sixth-level Azure Blue Essence Crystal is used by Dao Morale Sect to reforge and enhance their Lifespan Artifact after attaining the Dao of Divinity Transformation from successive generations.
But it can only use these sixth-level materials to boost a Magic Artifact to the fifth-level.
So even though Chen Mobai is the top Artifact Refiner in East Continent, Dustless True Monarch still had reservations about him refining a sixth-level Jade Pure Glass Bottle.
However, if Chen Mobai wanted Azure Blue Essence Crystal, he was willing to give it, just not freely this time.
“Besides the inner core, does Senior Dustless see anything else from the old flood dragon’s corpse worth taking?”
Chen Mobai actually preferred trade because gifts come with big obligations. It’s better to have clear transactions.
“Shenxi achieved Divinity Transformation not long ago; his horsetail whisk was barely upgraded to fifth-level, but its Spiritual Essence is weak. Can you help improve it?”
Dustless True Monarch, being a veteran, wanted Chen Mobai to help refine the Magic Artifact upon hearing his words.
Shenxi, hopeful upon hearing this, extended his horsetail whisk. Dao Morale Sect used countless fifth-level resources, even a piece of sixth-level Azure Blue Essence Crystal for his horsetail whisk, yet its grade was still not as good as Chen Mobai’s Fire Spirit Robe.
All the great Holy Lands of East Continent hope to invite Chen Mobai, the top Artifact Refiner in East Continent, to help with Magic Artifact refining. However, he often remains in seclusion, so they seized the opportunity, and Shenxi immediately presented the horsetail whisk.
“The refining method is too coarse, merely stacking materials to upgrade to the fifth-level…” After checking, Chen Mobai’s tone held a hint of envy, but it made Dustless and Shenxi break into a sweat.
“Madam, does the old flood dragon’s dragon whiskers and dragon tendon remain?”
Chen Mobai turned to Qing Nu, who was outside the grass pavilion talking with Qi Jiannu, and asked. She nodded, withdrew two bright golden dragon whiskers and a dark golden dragon tendon from the gourd at her waist.
“I will refine this dragon tendon into the handle of the horsetail whisk as the new main body of the Magic Artifact, melt the dragon whiskers into it, and reawaken the Artifact Spirit’s essence, combining the original weak and mixed Spiritual Essence, and elevate it…”
After taking the materials, Chen Mobai condensed water as a blueprint and spoke to Shenxi, the Magic Artifact’s owner, about his concept of enhancing the horsetail whisk, ready to ask if the client had any other thoughts, trying to perfect everything in one go.
“Sect Master Chen, proceed as you see fit. I trust in your abilities.”
However, Shenxi stated that he had no preferences, merely wishing for the grade to be better and the Spiritual Essence stronger than now.
This was typical in commissioning Artifact Refining, where aspects like Magic Artifact functionality and appearance were judged by the Artifact Refiner alone, it just needed to succeed.
“That simplifies things.”
At Shenxi’s words, Chen Mobai did not trouble himself further, but followed the initial blueprint and began in refining.
With Chen Mobai’s current understanding in Artifact Refining, refining a barely fifth-level Magic Artifact was easy.
The key dragon tendon wrapped around the end of the handle, and under Chen Mobai’s Stat Fire, it transformed into ethereal dark golden gas, seemingly a hidden black dragon in the clouds, merged into the wooden handle, seemingly carving the form of a dragon visible from the tail but missing the head, a mysterious black flood dragon.
Once the pattern was clear, Chen Mobai lightly pinched the two dragon whiskers, dispersed quickly and formed a majestic dragon head, blending with the dragon pattern on the handle, creating a complete True Dragon.
As Chen Mobai gently waved the horsetail whisk, the dragon head transformed from the two whiskers merged with the snow-white long whiskers.
From close inspection, two golden dragon whiskers could still be seen among the white.
“Friend, try it out, see if there is any discomfort.”
In the astonished crowd’s eyes, Chen Mobai took only an hour to reforge Shenxi’s horsetail whisk.
Shenxi took it, infusing his Superior True Qi, and a clamorous dragon roar rang forth.
With his whisk, a dark True Dragon soared forth with subtle mist vapor bursting, under Shenxi’s directed thoughts, spiraled upward around the Weak Water Pool, causing tremors and ripples in the sixth-level Water Pulse Spirit Qi.
Using the Sacramental Refinement Mantra received from Chen Mobai, Shenxi found the True Dragon handled seamlessly, and the newly born dragon form spirit voluntarily taught Dragon Roar Wave, Xuanming Thunder Sea and other Divine Skills.
A bloodline Divine Skill of the Mysterious Flood Dragon Clan, but during Chen Mobai’s refinement, all essence Qi of the dragon whiskers and tendon was perfectly preserved, allowing the Magic Artifact to perform these.
“Splendid!”
The more he tested, the more Shenxi found his horsetail whisk impressive.
As he flooded it with his powerful True Qi and Divine Sense, the Dragon Roar Wave flew fiercely across the sky, causing the Weak Water Pool to erupt with water columns, ascending water into the sky gathered into dark clouds over the valley, with bright lightning flashing dramatically.
“Young friend’s Artifact Refining skill seems even more remarkable than before.”
Dustless True Monarch was astonished to see this; though Chen Mobai had always mastered Fifth Rank Robes previously, today his ease was unmatched.
Da Kong, witnessing Chen Mobai’s refining for the first-time eyed wide and full of shock.
“Young friend, with such capability, perhaps creating the sixth-level Jade Pure Glass Bottle is possible after all.”
After listening, Chen Mobai was humble: “Not at all, there is quite a difference between sixth-level and fifth-level. I’ve only managed to advance my Flying Sword and Primordial Clock, both initially established with profound foundations. Creating a sixth-level Magic Artifact from scratch remains quite challenging for me.”
At this moment, Shenxi, with Dustless True Monarch’s eye signal, finally ceased using the whisk, its vast commotion drawing all Dao Morale Sect members in the valley.
Shenxi positioned the whisk across his chest, atop it, conjuring an illusionary black dragon cloud, standing tall like an immortal riding a dragon, approached the Dao Morale Sect’s few dozen Nascent Souls.
Soon, as they grasped the truth, Dao Morale Sect members gazed with envy at the whisk grasped by Shenxi, some Nascent Soul brothers close to him even gathered around, Shenxi generously let them admire his cherished Magic Artifact.
“Apologies for the embarrassment.”
Dustless True Monarch in the grass pavilion was a bit awkward in front of Chen Mobai.
To the Dao Morale Sect, crafting a Fifth Rank Elixir was common, but a potent and spiritually enriched Fifth Rank Magic Artifact, might not appear for hundreds or thousands of years.
Shenxi’s whisk, after Chen Mobai’s masterful intervention, was now Superior Grade, even taking precedence in the Dao Morale Sect Treasury.
One reason was its exceptional material quality. Chen Mobai catalyzed the Spiritual Essence when refining it, with the Azure Blue Essence Crystal blending with the dragon tendon and whiskers to easily exceed into Superior Grade.
Undoubtedly, the greatest credit belongs to Chen Mobai, the Artifact Refiner.
