I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2507 - 1124: 9-Spirit Marshal

After Chen Mobai uttered those words, both Jingchi Shangren and Chen Lingming displayed excitement and quickly trailed behind him.

Yet Yuwen Baozhi stayed composed, his eyes revealing no hint of emotion.

As the successor to the Emperor of Heaven, Yuwen Baozhi had observed three instances of Fifth Rank Artifact forging, each one concluding in defeat, including a single flop by a Divinity Transformation expert. Thus, while he held a measure of hope for Chen Mobai's current effort to craft a Fifth Rank Artifact, it lacked the previous burning eagerness.

Chen Mobai guided the group to the heart of the Artifact Refining Field, featuring a custom workbench that was ready with all the supplies needed for this session.

Yuwen Baozhi's eyes first fell on two massive, intact hides: one shone with a sleek finish, filled with abundant Earth Element Spirit Light, while the second boasted golden hair that mimicked roaring fires—getting near it caused bodily heat and heavy sweating.

From the earlier blueprint discussion in his memory, Yuwen Baozhi recognized these as the skins of the True Spirits known as Civet Power and Golden Flame Manticore.

Besides that, a bronze stand stood nearby, loaded with assorted instruments and a pair of pristine white curved fangs.

Still, since the fees paid this round focused solely on the Five Spirit Robe, the designs for forging those fang-based Flying Swords weren't shown.

"I’ll start by refining the Earth Spirit Robe; this one’s a bit simpler. Observe carefully, follow my lead, and note any questions you have. Ask me after it’s completed."

Chen Mobai spoke in a steady tone, his posture relaxed, making the forging of a Fifth Rank Robe appear as straightforward as routine work.

Upon hearing him, Yuwen Baozhi found himself breathless, scrutinizing Chen Mobai's moves intently alongside the other two.

The crucial part of robe crafting hinged on properly treating the hides; mishandling this phase meant the finished garment, even if assembled, would lack lasting strength.

Chen Mobai instructed Yuwen Baozhi to retrieve the treating agents from the bench. These had been formulated with East Continent resources, chiefly Longevity Tree Sap blended with juices from various Spirit Plants.

With every Dharma Seal imprinted onto the Civet Power hide, portions of the treating agents were drawn out and dispersed across the surface. Bit by bit, this Fifth Rank Lower Grade substance grew more contained, its once wild Earth Element Spirit Light now confined inside the hide.

Normally, this procedure demanded much time, yet Chen Mobai had managed it previously, rendering this instance merely a showcase.

Once the treating was done, Chen Mobai accepted a brush from Jingchi Shangren and traced the pattern guides etched on the hide.

Having sketched the outlines, Chen Mobai grabbed shears from Chen Lingming—tools he had forged using Fifth Rank Mysterious Gold, razor-sharp beyond compare.

A flurry of precise snips followed, yielding every section required by the pattern.

Assembly marked the last phase. At a mere flicker of Chen Mobai’s Divine Sense, the hide segments fused atop the bench, morphing into luminous flows that gradually outlined a robe's form.

Next, Chen Mobai gestured for the trio nearby to pass him items from the surface, then set about stitching motifs onto the Earth Spirit Robe as he imprinted seals and wove in Divine Power Techniques.

His sense of style far outshone anything from the Tianhe Realm, leaving all onlookers in awe once the robe solidified.

That said, faces like Yuwen Baozhi's twisted into dismay.

For no spiritual energy emanated from the Earth Spirit Robe.

To put it simply, it ranked only as a Fourth Rank Peak Defensive Magic Weapon.

Failure appeared to have struck.

While Yuwen Baozhi silently questioned Chen Mobai's overhyped fame, the latter abruptly directed a finger toward the newly formed Earth Spirit Robe.

Through "The Union of Differences," the garment endured what felt like a millennium of temporal weathering, starting to glow with a subtle yellow-brown Spiritual Light.

Such vitality stemmed inherently from the Civet Power's hide.

Over millennia of cultivation, the Civet Power had drawn heavenly and earthly essences into its entire form, and via "The Union of Differences," it was like the hide awakened awareness, manifesting inside the robe.

With the robe's essence awakening, the yellow-brown Spiritual Light radiated from all corners, illuminating the stitched designs as though they breathed and blazed vividly.

The spectacle stunned every witness, particularly Yuwen Baozhi from his involvement in three failed Fifth Rank artifact forges, each crumbling at the Enlightenment stage.

Irrespective of the Artifact Refiner pursuing Enlightenment, they approached it gravely, deploying altars, arrays, and sacrifices alike, some persisting up to forty-nine days in vain before shameful collapse.

In contrast, the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor here summoned profound vitality with a simple poke, swiftly lifting the Earth Spirit Robe into Fifth Rank status.

This display ignited their awe for the art of artifact creation and hammered home the immense divide separating them from Chen Mobai.

"That’s about it. Have you all remembered?"

Chen Mobai pulled back his finger right then and queried the three at his side. The Earth Spirit Robe floated suspended in the air, steadily releasing its essence, stirring every latent True Spirit quality within the hides, as Earth Element Spiritual Qi surged from the surroundings to bolster the garment, now solidly at Fifth Rank Lower Grade.
