Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1880: Chapter 1376: Artifact Refining

Su Yuan had long attained grandmaster-level accomplishments on both the Alchemy and Artifact Paths, but he rarely had the time to practice personally.

After the battle in the Chaotic Star Domain, nearly ten billion Star Dust was left unused.

Su Yuan relied on the foundation of the Great Flame Manufacturing Company, having already elevated both paths to Taidou Level with Star Dust, and even casually upgraded the Talisman Dao as well.

The other paths aside, the Artifact Path is extremely crucial!

Not to mention Divine Control Sword, Sky Blue Sword, East Emperor Bell, and other Divine Artifacts, even pseudo-artifacts like Gold-devouring Cloud and Sea Sinking Pearl possess substantial power for those at the Emperor Level.

The great paths are interconnected.

An Emperor Level expert embodies the path within themselves, possessing boundless mana, and no longer solely relies on ordinary artifact refining methods.

As long as there are supreme materials and Hongmeng Purple Qi, paired with Rule Domain, one can continuously refine Holy Artifacts with great magical power to make them possess relatively complete Rule Power.

However, Divine Artifacts are extremely difficult to refine, not to mention most Emperor Level individuals who haven’t mastered artifact refining skills; they typically refine "pseudo-artifacts"!

These pseudo-artifacts, due to rough refining techniques, may not possess powers superior to ordinary Holy Artifacts at the lowest level.

Only through continual quenching using Rule Domain, nurturing with Hongmeng Purple Qi, and melting more advanced materials can one gradually transcend the power of Holy Artifacts and approach Divine Artifacts step by step.

For example, Shu Yue Ice Emperor’s twelve Extreme Cold Ice Pillars, Zhong Li’s Golden Splitting Mace and Gold-devouring Cloud, and Yue Fanhai’s sixteen Sea Sinking Pearls are pseudo-artifacts with significant powers.

Particularly Yue Fanhai’s sixteen Sea Sinking Pearls, which, due to the addition of a small amount of sixth-level material, Immortal Boat’s Sinking Jun Sand, saw a noticeable enhancement in power!

After the evolution of the System’s modules like Artifact Path and Alchemy Dao, it requires host Su Yuan himself to reach Taidou Level by combining the latest refining methods with Hongmeng Purple Qi.

This indicates that the System is neither solely reliant on the skills of the Path of Artifact Refining nor completely reliant on the methods of Emperor Level artifact refining, but rather combines both.

After examining for a while, Su Yuan directly asked, "System, can Heavenly Lock be refined into a Divine Artifact?"

[Impossible, it requires at least three kinds of sixth-level Space materials as primary materials combined with a large amount of Hongmeng Purple Qi to upgrade Heavenly Lock.]

[Current sixth-level Space material: Taixu Immortal Gold]

[If there are other sixth-level materials with compatible elements, you might attempt to melt them for substitution and enhancement.]

"Three types of Space sixth-level materials? That’s really not easy..."

Su Yuan slightly shook his head, thinking that Divine Artifacts indeed are not easily refined.

Sixth-level materials themselves are extremely precious, and those with ultimate attributes are exceedingly rare.

Even Taixu Immortal Gold is thanks to the deep foundation of Taishang Sect accumulated over countless years, with Great Flame currently not having any sixth-level Space materials.

"Heavenly Lock, as my only Space treasure, since there’s hope, it must be upgraded to a Divine Artifact.

First, I can inquire with Qiguang, and the Southern Continent Sects whether there are top-level Space materials available.

Second, the Cangding Realm, being a well-developed world over numerous years, might likely have top-tier Space treasures."

After a brief contemplation, Su Yuan asked, "System, can Heavenly Lock be refined into a pseudo-artifact?"

[Heavenly Lock, refinable into a pseudo-artifact using Taixu Immortal Gold (sixth level), requires consuming 50 strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi, proceed?]

"50 strands? That many, is it because of Taixu Immortal Gold?" Su Yuan secretly exclaimed, this is equivalent to half the requirement for ghost techniques.

The pseudo-artifact refined with Taixu Immortal Gold must be stronger, but the cost might be greater as well.

Whether this is true, a comparison will reveal it.

Su Yuan turned his palm, and a pitch-black Stone Funnel fell into his hand, it was the first Holy Artifact he obtained from the Sky Patrol Department—Canghai Yidou.

This Holy Artifact can use Star Power to transform into vast seawater to suppress enemies, the more Star Power, the stronger the power, even capable of achieving "victory without battle."

Yet, the artifact’s Law Ability is limited, belonging to the lower range among many Holy Artifacts, resulting in little usefulness afterward.

"System, can this funnel be refined into a pseudo-artifact?"

[Canghai Yidou, consumes 16 strands of Hongmeng Purple Qi to refine into a pseudo-artifact]

"Indeed, lacking sixth-level materials, the cost is much reduced!"

"Moreover, as a Refining Master, even without a corresponding Rule Domain, I can still refine artifacts in conjunction with the System, enabling me to refine artifacts for others as well."

Su Yuan’s eyes subtly moved, rapidly contemplating.

The battle for kings is imminent, wherein the most crucial contention remains in high-level combat power; possessing pseudo-artifacts can add extra advantages...

The members of Qingming Palace are all extremely important to me, even consuming some Hongmeng Purple Qi for them is worth it, besides everyone has the opportunity to obtain more Hongmeng Purple Qi during the battle for kings.

Su Yuan weighed the Canghai Yidou in his hand, having already decided, but for now, he should further explore the System.

"System, can Canghai Yidou be refined into a Divine Artifact?"

[Impossible, requires materials including three Water Element and Advanced Water Element Rule.]

Su Yuan’s eyes brightened: "Indeed, generally three pieces of sixth-level materials can refine one Divine Artifact!"

Though sixth-level materials are precious, forget same attributes, even differing attributes have scant availability, but the Blue Sea Realm over countless years with various superpowers has profound foundations.

If these sixth-level materials could be gathered, complementing each other’s deficiencies, and entrusted to me for refining, wouldn’t that result in numerous Divine Artifacts?

Thinking here, even Su Yuan couldn’t help but feel his heart ablaze.

Divine Artifacts possess unrivaled power, the Blue Sea Realm’s major superpowers becoming superpowers is fundamentally due to Divine Artifacts!
