Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Customization

"A communication charm? Coordinates? Well, do you have a concrete idea?" Qiu Liangong suddenly appeared in front of Wang Zijia, staring at him intently, asking desperately.

Only then did Wang Zijia get a good look at him. He was around fifty or sixty, with disheveled hair and a face covered in stubble. His robe was fairly clean, but still gave off some sense of sloppiness.

Wang Zijia subconsciously turned to Gu Wenxing, but Qiu Liangong interrupted him, "I’m asking you, why are you looking at him?"

"Master, master, I can’t stand it anymore, if I get hit again I won’t be able to breathe, I really won’t have any breath left!!!"

Far away, amid the constant explosions of spiritual light, a young man protected by layers of spiritual light was thrown about in the sky, pleading with the three of them, revealing his forgotten reality.

Wang Zijia: " . .. . .."

Gu Wenxing: " . .. . .."

"Wait ’til you’re dead!" Qiu Liangong shouted at him and gestured at the sky, causing the two sword slits on the roof to fly down.

Watching this scene, the corner of Wang Zijia’s mouth twitched.

Whether in the eras of the sects or in the current Era of the Convergence of Myriad Forces of the Wanyu Sect, becoming a disciple was a serious affair, truly a lifelong commitment. In fact, the bond between master and disciple could even be closer than that between father and son.

He had read a lot of material on the master-disciple relationship and how beneficial it was. However, seeing such a master-disciple pair today made him question whether all the information he had read was just a scam by the Fu Tower!

As Qiu Liangong withdrew his hand, the young man at a distance immediately got up and quickly ran towards them.

"I’m asking you!" Qiu Liangong completely ignored the guy, asking Wang Zijia again.

Hearing this, Wang Zijia also withdrew his gaze, organized his thoughts, and said, "Martial Uncle, the thing is, we don’t necessarily have to concentrate all the functions on the artifact. The artifact only needs to have power and targeting. The rest can be divided."

"For instance, treat the territory of the Wanyu Sect as a chessboard, divided into a grid. The disciples call this coordinates. Then have the disciples remember the concept of these coordinates, carry communication charms, or learn some communication spells, or even using spiritual techniques."

"Afterwards, you only need to preside over the magical artifact in the center, as a Master. Those brothers and sisters who are dispersed and fighting can lock on the targets and relay the coordinates back to you for pinpoint bombardment."

Upon hearing this, Qiu Liangong’s eyes burst out with intense spiritual light. Soon afterward, he frowned and said, "No, in this way, only rough assistance can be provided."

Wang Zijia looked at Qiu Liangong and carefully said, "Martial Uncle, battles are indeed chaotic. It’s unrealistic for you to want to pinpoint someone thousands of miles away like you would with a sword repairman."

"As long as we handle the main support work, it’s enough to leave the rest to the disciples on the battlefield."

"Moreover, if a Perfected One presides over it, covering a larger area, it would free up many uncles’ hands. The extra manpower could then conduct precise attacks!"

Hearing Wang Zijia’s words, Qiu Liangong’s eyes flashed, and there was a magical power fluctuation, as if he was calculating something.

Seeing this, Wang Zijia decisively gave up on discussing further theories about drone targeting and big data analysis.

This was a workaholic. If these topics were brought up, he might not be able to leave for several months.

. .. . ..

Qiu Liangong stood there for half an hour.

Considering himself to be patient, Wang Zijia was somewhat speechless at the wait. The problem was standing there doing nothing was a bit hard to bear.

Contrarily, the young man who had been bombed out seemed very accustomed to this. He simply stood there, instinctively lowering his presence as much as possible. Such a respectable Wine Monk gave the impression of being pitiful.

"Martial Uncle! Wang Zijia came to receive his tournament reward!" Gu Wenxing, probably noticing Wang Zijia’s state, reminded him.

"Ah." Qiu Liangong snapped back to reality, looked at Wang Zijia, and said, "Your idea is a bit crude, but the logic is good. Oh, right, what reward did you come to claim?"

Under Gu Wenxing’s eye signal, Wang Zijia carefully said, "I need a top-class magical artifact, as well as a set of top-grade robes and a top-grade flying magical tool."

"That’s easy, Bai Yu, take him to the tool repository, let him choose anything, all top-grade magical artifacts. Anything extra, consider it mine," Qiu Liangong said confidently, as if top-grade magical artifacts were as common as shovels.

The young man named Bai Yu who had been suppressing his presence said, "Master, the tournament champion’s artifacts need to be custom-made, have a high-growth potential. The uncle from the Etiquette Institute came personally a few days ago to relay this."

"Oh right, I seem to recall something like this a few days ago, almost forgot," Qiu Liangong realized, then looked at Wang Zijia and asked, "Kid, what kind of artifact do you want to customize? In what direction do you want it to grow?"

There are roughly three directions for the growth of an artifact.

The first is the Warming Cultivation Method: It’s about storing the artifact in the Dantian after it’s made, and slowly cultivating and refining it. This method has the advantage of minuscule cost and consumption, but the progress is extremely slow.

It may only be possible to advance a small step after being passed down through several generations, the kind of thing smaller clans like to do. If they keep it up for several dozen generations, there’s a chance they can cultivate a third-class spiritual device.

The second is the Blood Offering Method: This is somewhat similar to the Warming Cultivation Method, also enhancing through constant sacrifice and refinement, but this requires consumption of essence blood or core elements for sacrifice. The advantage is faster growth, but the downside is significant consumption. Without a robust body, one sacrifice and refinement would take several years to recover from, otherwise, they wouldn’t be able to bear it.

Some smaller clans, when their patriarch is about to die, would initiate an offering. This always happens when they absolutely won’t stop until they’ve squeezed out everything. Passed down from generation to generation, it’s also possible to create a powerful artifact.

The third is the devouring method: The artifact made by this method can be upgraded by feeding it natural treasures, a method only the suavest dare to use. Many members of the Devil Gate like to make these kinds of artifacts, growing them by devouring people’s spirituality and soul.

Of course, these are just general directions, the three methods of growth are not absolutely separated, they can be multifunctionally integrated, and there are all kinds of bizarre growth ways.

"I want to customize a defensive magic weapon, which, apart from normal defense, in emergencies, can enhance effects by consuming essence blood. The main growth should also preferably be geared towards the essence blood offering method," Wang Zijia’s thoughts came together, and he replied.

This requirement led Bai Yu and Gu Wenxing on either side of him to take a closer look at Wang Zijia. Qiu Liangong also paused and after taking a glance at Wang Zijia up and down, he laughed and said,

"It’s good being young! But kid, essence blood type artifacts are not easy to cultivate, for every ten cultivators, nine fail, and the last one absolutely can’t do it at all!"
