I Just Want to Cultivate Quietly and Farm

Chapter 474: Chapter 272: Refining the Warship

Refining a Spiritual Ship, creating Puppets, drawing Spirit Talismans, and refining artifacts all share similarities among the Hundred Cultivation Arts.

However, compared to these skills, refining a Spiritual Ship is significantly more difficult and resource-intensive. It requires not only the use of Spirit Patterns, engraving skills, and array layout, but also an understanding of materials and knowledge of ship structure design.

The hull is the foundation of the Spiritual Ship and must be crafted meticulously. Generally, refining a Spiritual Ship requires finding suitable High-tier Spiritual Wood, Gold Ore Spiritual Materials, and various High-tier Demon Bones. One must master the characteristics of various spiritual materials, each carefully selected, and go through a series of tedious processes to form the body of the Spiritual Ship. In this process, the skill of engraving Spirit Patterns is particularly important.

Engraving Spirit Patterns and integrating them into the built-in Ship Array to exert the attributes of the spiritual materials forms the soul of the Spiritual Ship. The Spirit Patterns carved on the hull each have their unique meaning and effect, be it defense, attack, or support. All these Spirit Patterns ultimately unite to form the ’Ship Array,’ constructing the soul of the Spiritual Ship.

Engraving Spirit Patterns on the hull requires deep skills and precise techniques, which is very similar to the art of Puppetry Technique. For Li Mu, this is an easy task.

As for the main body of the Spiritual Ship and the layout of the Ship Array, it’s also not a problem for Li Mu. His Array Formation Technique has already reached level 6, mastering the Five Elements Eighth Tier, Yin Yang, Circulation, and Sword Arrays. The Ship Array, which relates to the soul of the Spiritual Ship, is not an issue for him.

Beyond that, creating an excellent Spiritual Ship involves many other aspects.

A remarkable Spiritual Ship is not just a combination of the hull and engravings; it also requires a powerful power system, defense system, and attack system. Setting up these systems requires knowledge of refining Spiritual Artifacts and drawing Spirit Talismans, which poses no challenge to Li Mu.

Li Mu swiftly advanced his Shipbuilding Technique to level 6, gaining a vast amount of shipbuilding experience and numerous basic Spiritual Ship formulas.

Other Shipbuilding Masters, while proficient in shipbuilding techniques, certainly lack the energy to learn Artifact Refining, Spirit Talisman Drawing, Puppetry, Array Formation, and other arts.

Li Mu, however, leveraged the support of the panel, simultaneously advancing several skills to level 6, combining the essence of the Hundred Arts into a seamless whole, integrating all knowledge into the design of the Spiritual Ship.

Only by fully mastering the Five Elements Dao Principle can Spirit Patterns be refined to the level of Tier Six Spiritual Treasure. Only by comprehending the Heaven and Earth Law can a Tier Six Array be laid. Only with the Natural Dao Principle and Spirit Plant Attributes can a Tier Six Spirit Pill be refined. Li Mu has reached the level of a Level 6 Grandmaster in all of these Hundred Arts.

His expertise in many techniques goes beyond mere proficiency or simple accumulation; it is a genuine fusion.

Therefore, Li Mu is confident he can directly refine a desirable Tier Six Spiritual Ship based on the attributes of the Tier Seven Spiritual Material - Luofu Primordial Magnet, for exclusive refinement.

As the door of the Artifact Refining Room closes, Li Mu’s Divine Sense enters the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, taking out the prepared Ship Refining Spiritual Materials.

First is a hovering, jet-black Elemental Stone, about three to four yards long and almost a yard wide and high, a sizable piece of Tier Seven Spiritual Material - Luofu Primordial Magnet.

When Li Mu first saw this material in the Snow Fox Race’s Treasure Vault, he immediately intended to refine a Spiritual Ship with it rather than using it for artifact refining, as this high-tier spiritual material is perfect for crafting a Spiritual Ship.

Under the Innate Divine Power - Recognition of Ten Thousand Spirits, all information regarding the Luofu Primordial Magnet reveals itself to Li Mu.

[Luofu Primordial Magnet]

[Tier Seven Spirit Ore]

[Attributes: Heaven and Earth Primordial Magnet, forms its own Magnetic Realm, Magnetic Repulsion of All Things, Magnetic Gathering Elemental Power.]

[Status: Elemental Magnetism Gather One, Spiritual Invisibility.]

[The Tier Seven Spirit Ore - Luofu Primordial Magnet, nurtured in the Magnetic Core Earth Vein, possesses abundant Primordial Magnetic Power, forming its own Elemental Magnetic Spirit Realm, making it an excellent material for refining a Magnetic Warship and Floating City Device.]

Based on the attributes of the Luofu Primordial Magnet, the Earth Element Array is laid to continuously absorb Earth Elemental Power, condense geomagnetic energy, and supplement the Elemental Magnetic Spirit Realm inherent to the Spiritual Ship. By refining an Elemental Magnetic Spirit Ship, and laying down the Earth Element Protection Array, the Earth Element Spiritual Cannon, the Earth Element Escape Array, among other functionalities, its defense, speed, and attack capabilities can all be maximized, with hidden breath aspects reaching their full potential, creating a comprehensive unity.

At that time, he will refine a large batch of Tier Six and Tier Five Puppets to place on the ship, ensuring the close combat capabilities are well preserved.

If this battleship can be successfully refined, escaping or setting up residence will no longer be an issue.

However, this Tier Seven Spiritual Material, Luofu Primordial Magnet, is only enough to serve as one of the core materials. Refining this battleship still requires the cooperation of massive spiritual materials.

The resources and effort required to refine a Spiritual Ship far outweigh those needed for ten Spiritual Treasures. Furthermore, it not only requires a significant amount of materials and tools but also demands a thorough understanding of every step of the process,

Li Mu must deeply study each material’s properties, characteristics, and uses, as well as determine the suitable materials to lay the Earth Element Array.

Soon, hundreds of Tier Five Star Wood, more than a dozen pieces of Tier Five Thunder Beast Hide, and an enormous amount of Tier Five and Six Spiritual Materials are continuously taken out from the Nine Treasures Spirit Pearl, filling up the entire refining space.

Li Mu silently operates the Five Elements Spirit Fire and begins processing the Ship Refining Spiritual Materials.

Refining a Spiritual Ship is unlike refining a Spiritual Artifact or drawing a Spirit Talisman; it’s a complex synthesis of thousands of spiritual materials and components into a unified whole for the final refinement.

The entire Earth Element Battleship will primarily use the Tier Seven Spiritual Material - Luofu Primordial Magnet, which Li Mu plans to refine last, engraving the Array Hub. As for other parts of the battleship, he needs to prepare in advance, refining the battleship deck and hull using Tier Five Star Wood, and so on.
