Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now! Chapter 1152 - 343: [Gift] 3
Previously on Put Away Your Divine Techniques Now!...
The Stone Furnace, understanding the situation, swiftly nodded. "Since that is settled, I will consider your needs carefully upon my return and plan elixirs suitable for your current Third Realm cultivation. I'll draft a list and bring the items in a couple of days. After your review, inform me of any omissions, and I shall craft them for you."
Chen Yan bowed deeply, gratitude evident. "I am immensely grateful for your assistance, Master Stone Furnace."
He then turned to Golden Blade, the Artifact Maker, and bowed once more. "I desire a formidable weapon. My swordsmanship is my forte, thus a flying sword is not required. However, a superior saber is essential. Additionally, for defensive and offensive magical artifacts of varied attributes, I seek your expert counsel."
Golden Blade observed Chen Yan, his vast experience quickly revealing the young man's circumstances. It seemed this cultivator had limited prior experience with magical artifacts.
He appeared to be one of those loose cultivators possessing respectable cultivation but lacking the resources to acquire potent magical artifacts.
Why the Ancestor favored such a seemingly disadvantaged loose cultivator and bestowed such immense fortune upon him was not a concern for Golden Blade.
The Ancestor had given his word, and Golden Blade would comply.
In both reality and the Domain Realm, individuals in technical professions often exhibit a straightforward mindset, preferring directness over convoluted matters.
After a brief contemplation, Golden Blade addressed Chen Yan. "Regarding magical artifacts, relying solely on my advice might be imprudent. I will depart now and select several suitable materials. I shall return in three days. At that juncture, you can choose materials aligning with your swordsmanship and spellcasting. Once the materials are decided, I will forge the saber for you."
"As for the magical artifacts, creating the most fitting ones necessitates an understanding of your proficient and favored spells.
Therefore, I request, young friend, that you jot down the principles of the spells you excel in or intend to master, excluding any taboo knowledge or the core essence of your techniques, and present them to me. This will enable me to design appropriate magical artifacts for your needs.
Concerning higher-grade magical treasures... beyond my crafting abilities, proficiency also hinges on your Divine Sense cultivation. Without adequate cultivation, forging such treasures becomes difficult. Even if created, insufficient Divine Sense prevents the formation of an Artifact Spirit, rendering the treasure not truly yours.
In such scenarios, a treasure wielded with inadequate Divine Sense can manifest merely ten to twenty percent of its true power, making it less effective than some upper-grade magical artifacts."
Chen Yan considered Golden Blade's words seriously before nodding. "I shall follow your guidance, Master Golden Blade. Please proceed with selecting materials for the saber. I will carefully reflect on your advice in the coming days, and we shall reconvene in three days."
With their discussions concluded, the two masters prepared to depart.
After their exit and the closing of the East Sea gate, Chen Yan casually waved his sleeve, generating mana waves that reinforced the restrictions on the door and walls. His gaze then turned toward East Sea.
East Sea smiled. "Very well, I too have several items for you."
With a flick of his finger, a jade pendant materialized on the table.
The pendant possessed a lustrous, delicate sheen, as white as the finest mutton-fat jade.
Upon contact, Chen Yan sensed a faint treasure aura emanating from it. Its texture was warm, and he could discern the subtle fluctuation of mana from an internal restriction.
"Storage equipment?"
"Indeed," East Sea confirmed with a smile. "This is far superior to the storage jade pendant you currently possess. That one is standard issue from the Inspection Bureau, a rather inferior item, essentially equipment for low-ranking operatives and errand runners."
East Sea paused, then continued with a chuckle. "I had this pendant specially crafted to mimic the appearance and design of your Inspection Bureau pendant precisely. Apart from the superior jade quality and more potent internal arrays, its exterior is indistinguishable unless subjected to scrutiny by a Great Power.
You may use it with confidence; even the Inspection Bureau personnel will not detect any difference."
Chen Yan's eyes gleamed with excitement.
The design and patterns on this new pendant were, in truth, identical to his long-used Inspection Bureau storage jade pendant!
However, the storage capacity within the Bureau's pendant was quite limited, an inadequacy he increasingly felt.
"This pendant is named the 'Mountain Moving Pendant,' signifying its capacity to hold even a mountain if needed.
Furthermore, it incorporates restricted spells, and I shall now impart the incantation required to control it."
As East Sea finished speaking, a golden radiance erupted, and a cascade of incantations descended into Chen Yan's palm, materializing as gilded characters that permeated his being.
Within his consciousness, a sequence of spells materialized spontaneously. East Sea elucidated further, "By internalizing this binding spell, you can establish your exclusive mark, guaranteeing its security against unauthorized access.
Naturally, should you confront an entity whose cultivation vastly surpasses your own, even this safeguard will prove insufficient. Such a powerhouse could annihilate your spell imprint and breach the containment by force."
Chen Yan found this explanation acceptable and unsurprising.
When faced with a vastly superior cultivator, trivial spell restrictions would indeed be inconsequential; one's very life might hang in the balance, rendering such precautions moot.
Yet, what truly amazed Chen Yan was the startling discovery upon opening the 'Mountain Moving Pendant' – it was not devoid of contents! Several objects were already housed within!
And these objects, upon examination by Chen Yan's Divine Sense, became apparent, causing his expression to shift dramatically in an instant!
He regarded East Sea with a flicker of astonishment in his eyes.
"Senior East Sea, the contents within..."
East Sea offered a gentle smile, a knowing glint in his gaze. "The items you see are an unforeseen bounty from my recent subjugation of the Black Wood Tribe. They hold no utility for me, so I bestow them upon you."
Chen Yan drew a deep breath, a peculiar sensation stirring within him.
This was due to his immediate recognition of every single item present! They were all intimately familiar to him!
