Chapter 1681: Chapter 618: Perfect Harmony, Power of Blood, Connect the Dots, New Body Refinement Technique

On Peng Island.

It has been a year since Luo Chen announced his closed-door cultivation.

Throughout this year, countless Immortal Cultivators seeking defensive treasures tried to visit him, only to be turned away.

The turmoil of the outer world seemed to have no connection to the Eight Hundred Li Penghu anymore.

But clearly, a master-level figure capable of crafting defensive Magic Items could never truly be ignored by the outer world.

Even if Luo Chen claimed to be in closed-door cultivation, there were still countless people keeping an eye on his movements, watching to see if he could forge a second defensive Magic Item.

If he succeeded, it would prove that his ability was real, and not a mere stroke of luck.

Faced with the anticipation and skepticism from the outer world, Luo Chen seemed utterly unaffected.

Inside the Pill and Tool Refining Hall.

Luo Chen gazed at the Primordial Chaos Tripod, which was tightly engulfed in blazing Prosperity and Decline True Fire. His eyes sparkled brilliantly, the flames reflected in them, resembling the legendary Fiery Eyes.

"This one-year gestation of the Magic Item Embryo is far more prepared than when I refined the Youlan Xuan Armor."

"Even an unpolished treasure must eventually meet its audience. The time has come!"

After mentally calculating the time, Luo Chen raised his hand and unleashed an arc of Qi Power.

Instantly, the green flames dissipated, and a dull yellow radiance soared out of the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

Upon closer inspection, it was a yellow Armor, towering at seven feet high.

Rich Earth-type Spirit Qi had accumulated on it, and at first glance, it exuded a sense of steadfastness and reliability.

The Armor had no decorative patterns, no cracks, appearing seamless like a heavenly creation.

But Luo Chen knew well that this was merely the Embryo; its success would hinge on the forthcoming Array inscription.

With a thought, the yellow Armor floated before him.

On his left side, a basin of specially-prepared black liquid was already in place.

The process of Array inscription during Magic Item refinement differs greatly from standard Array setup.

In a normal setup, Spirit Stones, Array Flags, and even geographical advantages might be utilized—essentially, anything that can increase the Array’s power would be employed to the fullest.

Refining Magic Items, however, is entirely different. The body of the Magic Item has limited space for external items.

Thus, Array inscription requires substance akin to "ink."

This basin of black liquid, called "Mozhen Liquid," is the most widely used inscription ink in the Immortal Cultivation World.

Speaking of which, when Min Longyu had him study Arrays, he first made him practice calligraphy. Looking back now, it seems rather fitting.

Luo Chen smiled faintly as his right hand shook, gradually turning a faint red hue. With Qi Power surging through, his hand grew redder and redder, almost as though it were engorged with blood.

On the Attribute Panel, the Finalization-level Iron Refining Hand had already been activated.

"Ordinary Array Masters assist Tool Casters using talisman pens or ink cones to inscribe Arrays, but I learned the technique of Iron Refining Hand from the Hundred Craft Mountain records. Not only can it refine metallic minerals, but it can also be used for Array inscription on Magic Item Embryos, offering far greater efficiency than conventional methods."

"The Hundred Craft Mountain managed to stand firm on Coldlight Island for so many years for a reason, no doubt."

"It’s a pity that Coldlight Island was destroyed. As for those forces who besieged me, I wonder how many survived. Should my Realm be achieved eventually, I’d be inclined to personally pay them a visit or two."

As thoughts swirled in his mind, the red on his right hand had reached its peak, resembling a piece of molten iron.

The Dust Origin Technique naturally activated, severing extraneous thoughts.

Luo Chen focused his full attention, plunging his right hand into the iron basin, eliciting sizzling sounds.

When he withdrew his hand, it was drenched in a rich, viscous layer of Mozhen Liquid.

Luo Chen concentrated entirely, channeling his Qi Power and Divine Consciousness, and his right hand descended steadily onto the Armor.

As his fingers moved, intricate black Array patterns began to take shape on the supple surface of the Armor.

Moreover, under his intensified energy control, the black Array patterns penetrated deeply into the core of the Minghuang Rock Armor.

Currently, he was inscribing a First Order Array called "Gujin Array," a foundational Array for defensive Magic Items that stabilizes the materials of the Magic Item’s body.

Beyond that, there were still two other First Order Arrays, the Spirit Sealing Array and the Qi Gathering Array, to be inscribed.

After the First Orders would come the Second Order Arrays, the Yulin Array and Xuanguan Array.

Finally, the ultimate heart of this Magic Item: the Third Order Minghuang Rock Armor Formation.

Three First Orders, two Second Orders, and one Third Order; layer by layer, covering every part of the Magic Item to ultimately forge an impenetrable defensive treasure.

This process left no room for any errors!

Even the slightest mistake would result in the whole endeavor collapsing. In severe cases, the Magic Item Embryo could even self-destruct.

If the Embryo’s material quality was excellent, it might retain a portion of its functionality, becoming the so-called "Top Grade Magic Tool."

But it was clear that the materials Luo Chen used for practice weren’t of exceptional quality.

While the monetary cost was low, a destroyed item would still leave him disheartened.

It wasn’t the Spirit Stones cost that troubled him—it was the cost of time!

Others start refining directly with suitable materials at hand.

He, however, spent an entire year nurturing this Magic Item Embryo in the Primordial Chaos Tripod.

It wasn’t the loss of Spirit Stones, it was the pain of losing a year’s worth of time.

Thankfully, for the First and Second Order Arrays, his Finalization-level Array proficiency made failure nearly impossible.

Unlike Pill Refinement proficiency, Array proficiency leans toward techniques—you either know it or you don’t, without the failure rates present in perfected Pill Refinement.

After spending two full days, Luo Chen finally succeeded in inscribing three First Order Arrays and two Second Order Arrays onto the Minghuang Rock Armor Embryo.
