Chapter 110 New Insights
Five-colored light streaked across the sky, rushing out from the depths of the Wanhe Mountains, heading towards the capital of Dayong at breakneck speed.
They arrived cautiously, and returned laden with treasures, their mindsets completely different.
Qin Xiao stood at the head of the streak of light, his robes fluttering, his expression calm.
He pondered repeatedly the vast information contained in the "Records of Creation" and the uses of the three treasures: "Star Core," "Spirit Rhinoceros Engraving Knife," and "Myriad Evolutions Golden Plate."
Six women accompanied Qin Xiao.
The trip to Tiangong Valley yielded not only physical artifacts but also a wealth of cultural heritage.
Furthermore, through the awe-inspiring experience of real combat and ancient ruins, they gained a deeper understanding of cultivators.
At the Nascent Soul stage, one can travel at lightning speed; in less than half a day, the familiar outline of the capital city came into view.
Qin Xiao did not make a big fuss; his escape light landed directly in the courtyard of the back hall of the Zichen Palace, silently.
"I need to immediately go into seclusion to contemplate what I have learned. All matters in the palace will continue to be overseen by Qingluan."
"Yes, my husband!"
The women all agreed in unison.
Qin Xiao nodded slightly, and with a sway of his body, he entered the deep meditation room.
Layer upon layer of array formations shimmered with light, completely isolating the inside from the outside.
Inside the quiet room, spiritual energy filled the air, and purple spirit crystals floated at the eye of the spirit-gathering array, absorbing and releasing pure spiritual power.
Qin Xiao sat cross-legged in the center of the formation, but did not immediately enter a meditative state.
Instead, they took out all the proceeds from this transaction first.
The Jade Slip of "The Record of Creation and Craftsmanship", Star Core, Spirit Rhinoceros Engraving Knife, and Myriad Evolution Gold Plate.
The core components and rare spiritual materials dismantled from the puppets floated in front of him, gleaming with precious light, illuminating the quiet room.
First, pick up the jade slip of "The Record of Creation" and immerse your consciousness into it.
This time, he didn't just skim through it as before.
Instead, they carefully considered each word and sentence.
The jade slips contain a wide range of information, with a rigorous system that progresses from simple to complex.
The opening section elucidates the fundamental concept of the "Heavenly Craftsmanship" principle: "Investigating things to acquire knowledge, and using tools to convey the Way."
They believed that all things in the universe, including metals, stones, plants, birds, beasts, and even wind, clouds, thunder, and lightning, contain their own inherent principles of operation.
What "Tiangong" needs to do is to understand these principles through observation and analysis.
Then, it is reproduced, applied, and even sublimated using specific "tools".
This coincides with Qin Xiao's previous insight when answering Gongshu Xuan's question, "What is craftsmanship?"
Qin Xiao realized, "This has transcended the realm of mere skill; it's almost a unique philosophy of cultivation."
Continuing on, we come to the specific volumes on techniques.
The "Materials Volume" not only includes tens of thousands of spiritual materials, rare metals, and exotic woods that Qin Xiao had never heard of before.
It elaborates in more detail on how to identify the properties of materials through divine sense.
It can even predict its changes under different refining conditions.
Many of these methods have been very inspiring for Qin Xiao's current alchemy and weapon crafting.
In the "Rune Scroll," Tiangong Valley divides runes into multiple levels, including "Basic Dao Runes," "Composite Spirit Runes," and "Combined Array Runes."
It also provides a vast collection of rune patterns and analyses, as well as ideas on how to design, optimize, and even create new runes based on the function of the object, the properties of the materials, and the needs of spiritual energy flow.
Many of the rune combinations were exquisite, which broadened Qin Xiao's horizons.
The "Ling Shu Volume" is dedicated to the design and crafting of core components for the transmission, gathering, transformation, and storage of spiritual energy, and can be considered the "heart" and "meridians" of all spiritual creations.
How to make spiritual energy operate efficiently, stably, and with low loss in complex structures.
How to design Ling Shu nodes to handle different loads.
How to use special materials to transform spiritual energy attributes...
The contents of this volume are crucial for improving spirit-gathering arrays, optimizing magical artifacts, and even designing more powerful puppets.
The "Puppet Scroll" and the "Mechanical Scroll" are the culmination of Tiangong Valley's signature skills.
From the simplest power core, joint structure, and sensor array.
From complex multi-puppet coordinated combat to ingenious mechanisms.
Even the rudimentary theory of the "spirit puppet," which possesses a certain degree of independent judgment and learning ability, is discussed in detail.
Most of the disassembled puppet parts can be found in this volume with corresponding design and principle explanations.
This gave Qin Xiao a clearer understanding of its value.
In addition, there are advanced versions of the "Magic Treasure Scroll" and the "Array Dao Scroll".
It incorporates the essence of the previous volumes, focusing on larger and more complex creations.
How to perfectly combine various materials, runes, and spiritual cores to forge a magical artifact with the power to move mountains and overturn seas.
How to utilize the power of heaven and earth, and connect the array base, array eye, and array pattern to set up various large arrays for trapping, killing, and defense.
These two volumes contain the most profound content, and many parts require sufficient cultivation and a vast amount of resources to attempt.
Finally, there is a volume called "Miscellaneous Essays," which records some of the ingenious ideas and unfulfilled ambitions of the sages of Tiangong Valley throughout the ages.
Even his random thoughts on the laws of heaven and earth.
They may seem scattered, but they often sparkle with wisdom.
Qin Xiao absorbed this knowledge; his powerful divine sense and comprehension at the Nascent Soul stage allowed him to learn extremely quickly.
Even so, it took three months to gain a preliminary understanding and sort out of this vast heritage.
Three months later.
Qin Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, "The craftsmanship of nature is truly remarkable."
It felt as if a completely new door had opened before my eyes.
Behind the door lies a magnificent world that leads directly to the Great Way through the means of "creation" and "control".
"However, while it's good to pass on traditions, they need to be put into practice."
Qin Xiao turned his gaze to the three supreme treasures, including the Star Core, and said, "Let's see how to use these things."
He first picked up the "Star Core".
Upon careful examination with his divine sense, he clearly sensed the spatial attribute spiritual power contained within.
According to the "Records of Creation and Craftsmanship: The Spiritual Pivot," these cores, which contain special spatial power, are the core materials for refining high-level storage magic treasures and even building ultra-long-distance teleportation arrays.
It can also be used as an energy source for certain special puppets or formations.
Its value is immeasurable!
"We could try using it as the core, combined with the array formation knowledge in the 'Record of Creation and Craftsmanship', to create a more efficient and wider-coverage 'Spirit Gathering Array,' or to create a flying magic weapon."
Qin Xiao had a plan in mind: "Let's optimize the Spirit Gathering Array first, and then we can upgrade the cultivation environment in the back hall of the Zichen Palace to another level."
Next up is the "Lingxi Carving Knife".
As my fingertips lightly touched the silver-white blade, a pure and ethereal feeling permeated my very soul.
The greatest value of this knife lies in the amplification it provides when engraving runes.
It is an indispensable tool for refining high-precision magic weapons, complex puppet cores, and miniature array plates.
"Perfect timing! We can try to reforge or upgrade the women's flying swords, engraving more exquisite runes to increase their power."
Qin Xiao thought of those early magical artifacts, and from today's perspective and with current skills, there were already many areas for improvement.
Finally, there is the "Wanyan Gold Plate".
This palm-sized, dark gold plate looks ordinary.
However, when activated by spiritual power, countless extremely fine array nodes and interface diagrams will appear on its surface.
According to the "Records of Creation of the Heavenly Craftsmen", many complex large-scale formations and modular puppets in the Heavenly Craftsmen Valley require the use of such "golden plates" for pre-adjustment and verification to ensure the spiritual power connection and rune coordination between their different parts.
It can significantly reduce the failure rate and the difficulty of later adjustments.
"This item is probably the most practical at present."
Qin Xiao thought to himself, "Whether it's researching new formations, trying to combine new types of puppets, or improving existing magic weapons, we can first conduct simulations and deductions on the 'Myriad Evolutions Golden Board,' which will make things twice as efficient."
Having thoroughly understood the characteristics of the three treasures, Qin Xiao then looked at the remains of the puppets and the spiritual materials.
"These materials, along with the palace's reserves and the new ore that keeps arriving from Muyun Mountain, are enough to sustain the practice for a period of time."
While pondering, he did not rush to begin refining.
Instead, he immersed himself once again in "The Record of Creation and Craftsmanship".
He combined the characteristics of his pure Yang Five Elements body, his Nascent Soul stage cultivation, and the almost limitless spiritual power support from the mobile spiritual spring.
They began to purposefully select, integrate, and deduce the "divine craftsmanship" that suited them.
