Chapter 108: The Creation Furnace

Xu Mengdie held the ring in her hand, gathering spiritual energy in her palm.

Nine layers of complex array patterns emerged, wrapping the Jiuyao Xuanyuan Ring like an empty halo.

The ring slowly floated within the array, its surface patterns blooming outward, projecting a complete blue starry sky phantom.

She was actually deconstructing the ring layer by layer.

This was her using the Grand Accomplishment technique [Omniscience] to analyze it, checking what changes had occurred inside the ring.

The ring looked small, but the complexity of what it contained far surpassed all arrays in the current world.

So those flickering dots of light on the ring’s surface were actually this kind of thing?

Chu Huaizhou, seeing this for the first time, was naturally astonished and gave his evaluation:

“Wow… so advanced, I don’t understand it at all, but it must be incredibly powerful.”

“Speaking of which, when did my little sister learn this spell? It looks so sci-fi. I have to admit, it’s really cool.”

It was a three-dimensional network composed of countless starlight nodes, each point of starlight connected to thousands of other nodes.

Xu Mengdie lightly tapped one of the stars with her fingertip. The star instantly magnified a thousand times, revealing its internal microstructure.

It was a sphere formed by countless tiny rune chains entwined!

After some research, Xu Mengdie exclaimed with admiration:

“It’s already a mid-grade immortal treasure. How impressive! Wasn’t it just a top-grade spiritual treasure before?”

“I see that the inlaid micro-array structures have only been rearranged, yet they crossed such a terrifying rank.”

“This means the material used to make this item can inherently withstand extremely high intensity. I’m afraid you couldn’t find it anywhere in the world.”

Xu Mengdie reluctantly touched the ring and returned it to Chu Huaizhou.

Chu Huaizhou: “Hey, little sister, don’t you want to look at it a bit longer? That’s fine. Once I figure out its new functions, I can lend it to you for a couple of days.”

“After all, I’m only at the mid Nascent Soul stage now. Having this thing on me is somewhat a waste of a heavenly treasure.”

Xu Mengdie raised her hand to brush her golden twin-tails and snorted:

“Hmph, I don’t need it. Trash brother, keep it for yourself. Be”

“cause you’ve caused such a big trouble carelessly.”

“If you don’t have more protective measures, I’m afraid you’ll really become a trash fish and get kicked to the curb.”

“Then your disciples will come to bother me, and I won’t know how to deal with them. Hmph.”

Of course, that was a lie. In her heart, she wanted it badly.

As the sect leader of the Myriad Methods Immortal Sect, who loved collecting all kinds of things, she was naturally infatuated with this item.

The arrays inside—even she couldn’t understand them at all. She could only barely see that they interconnected, forming a composite of multiple arrays.

As for the spherical rune chains contained in each star point that connected the arrays, she couldn’t comprehend them at all, let alone replicate them.

It was simply miraculous! If she could decipher it, she might be able to mass-produce immortal treasures!

But not being able to decipher it was one thing. Right now, her brother had lost his memories and cultivation, and his identity was extremely special. This was the time he needed protection the most.

This item had extraordinary power. The more it could protect her brother, the more assurance she had.

She definitely couldn’t use it for research.

In the past, she had asked her brother to borrow it for study, but in the recent decades, he seemed to be hiding something.

No matter what, he wouldn’t lend her the Jiuyao Xuanyuan Ring again.

Unexpectedly, after losing his memory, he became much more generous and no longer seemed burdened with worries.

Maybe this kind of brother was good too. Of course, she wasn’t saying that her brother before the amnesia was bad.

It was just that he spoke less and less, always taciturn, as if there was some distance between him and others.

This made it hard for her to know how to care for him.

She remembered that the last time they met, she could clearly feel that her brother was hiding something.

Logically, as childhood friends who had transmigrated together, there shouldn’t be any secret greater than reincarnation.

But her brother wouldn’t tell her. So she lost her temper, threw the amulet he gave her, and asked:

“What the hell is going on with you? If something’s wrong, you can talk to me!”

Her brother just shook his head with a smile, his gaze warm but somewhat weary as he looked at her and said:

“It’s nothing, Mengdie. I’m fine. You… are fine too. Thanks for your concern.”

Xu Mengdie saw that her brother still wouldn’t reveal anything, so she angrily slammed the door and left.

After that, they didn’t see each other for years.

Now, when they finally met again, her brother remembered nothing.

Bai Li, feeling the atmosphere soften, let go of Chu Huaizhou’s sleeve. Her nine tails swayed slightly, brushing against his robe.

Little Die is always sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. She clearly cares, but always says the opposite.

Chu Huaizhou didn’t say much. He understood his little sister’s tsundere psychology perfectly—it was normal.

But when tsundere combined with bratty behavior, it could be annoying.

When he previously probed the Jiuyao Xuanyuan Ring with his spiritual power, he only sensed that a new ability had been added.

But he wasn’t sure what it was specifically.

Unexpectedly, when he investigated, he was dumbfounded.

This new function… was a bit outrageous.

The new effect of the ring was called [Creation Furnace].

Yeah, the name was as high-end as always, and the effect was even more absurd.

Simply put, you first throw a weapon in to lock it.

Then you can throw in weapons, heavenly materials, and such to accumulate the furnace’s creation value.

When the creation value is full, you can start the reforging evolution. During the evolution, there are several outcomes.

Major failure, success, major success.

Major failure means both the weapon and the materials thrown in are destroyed.

Success can raise the locked weapon’s rank. For example, the low-grade spiritual treasure Jinghong Sword could be upgraded to mid-grade or high-grade spiritual treasure with new effects.

But such an upgrade cannot cross its inherent tier. For instance, Xia Baiqian’s top-grade spiritual treasure, Hundred Gu Refining Immortal Pot, could not be upgraded to a low-grade immortal treasure. At most, its spiritual treasure characteristics would slightly improve.

Major success, as the name implies, means a low-grade spiritual treasure can be directly upgraded to a top-grade spiritual treasure, or if it was already top-grade, it becomes a low-grade immortal treasure.

Chu Huaizhou roughly explained the content to everyone, including his little sister, and also described the previously unlocked functions.

Everyone’s eyes lit up, realizing how terrifying the value of this function was.

Except for Bai Li, who was dizzy, counting on her little paws to figure out success, major success, and major failure.

Xu Mengdie exchanged a glance with him. Chu Huaizhou could tell what she wanted to say.

He thought so too. First Hundred Weapons Drill, then Creation Furnace—the effects were too game-like.

Should he say that it really lives up to being a top-tier game item? The design was so classic.

It was clear that it was designed so that players, when facing increasingly difficult subsequent playthroughs,

would have a certain level of ability from the start and maintain high standards to fight against enhanced enemies.

But the game development team never considered one problem.

That was… the person holding the ring was a Tribulation Transcendence realm powerhouse.

Surrounded by Great Vehicle realm cultivators, from the two wealthiest among the seven major immortal sects.

If everyone used this item, how terrifyingly would the sect’s overall strength improve? Chu Huaizhou couldn’t even imagine.

Truly… terrifying beyond measure.

Xia Baiqian hugged her master even tighter. She took the Refining Immortal Pot from her waist and said sweetly:

“Master~ Then, from what you’re saying, does that mean my top-grade spiritual treasure can be upgraded to a low-grade immortal treasure?”

Chu Huaizhou was also hard to hide his excitement. Whatever they needed, it came.

He nodded: “Of course. Since we just got the Netherworld Sect’s inheritance, a low-grade immortal treasure, we can use it here.”

“Wow, Master is going to give that immortal treasure to me? Master is the best~ Hehe~”

Xia Baiqian pressed closer, her slender legs wrapped in white tights drawing near, but in her heart she thought:

Once her spiritual treasure became an immortal treasure, she could create more powerful Gu insects. Then… hehe.
