"Why are there so many exotic treasures!" Wang Zhengyi met Yan Chuan’s expectant gaze with a bitter smile: "The Alligator Beast Avatar has only been around for a year, and the Monkey King Avatar for just half a year. In this year, to discover the ’Mirage Pearl’ and the ’Peace Token’ as two exotic treasures is already considered lucky."Wang Zhengyi shook his head.
Exotic treasures?
If they were so easy to find, why call them ’treasures’?
Nothing, nothing!
There are only two in total, and among them, the ’Mirage Pearl’ was shattered during the Cang Mountain Sword Discussion, causing Wang Zhengyi heartache for a long time.
However, treasures like the ’Hundred Rivers Return Grass’ and the ’Water Essence’, Wang Zhengyi managed to find quite a few.
...
"Let’s try one last time."
Yan Chuan followed Wang Zhengyi to the foot of Iron Arm Monkey Mountain. Here, there was a specially excavated cave used as a warehouse, exclusively storing ores, wood, Alien Beast materials, and other various types of rare materials.
Classified into hundreds of categories.
"Here you go!"
"According to what you said, regardless of the type, as long as we see it, if the warehouse doesn’t have the material, I’ll have the kids bring back a piece for you."
Wang Zhengyi led Yan Chuan into the warehouse.
A dazzling array.
Bewildering to the eyes.
However, Wang Zhengyi didn’t understand: "What’s the use of these materials? Can you refine artifacts?"
There’s no time for temporary artifact refining, right?
"’Fire Bud Crystal’ will be completely condensed in three to five days at most, if you go late, it will be too late!"
Wang Zhengyi was worried and indecisive.
"I’m looking for materials."
Yan Chuan waved his hand, having no time to deal with Wang Zhengyi. He stopped before each different material, touching them with his hands, and then proceeded to resonate with the six ’Miracle Items’ he had on himself.
Although the Third-Level "Treasure Rock" has the ability for ’tenfold spiritual enforced enhancement’, Yan Chuan has never forgotten that these exotic treasures and Miracle Items of his can also be strengthened by finding corresponding strengthening materials, even without the ’tenfold spiritual’. This can save a significant amount of spiritual energy.
Previously, while in Tan Valley Royal City, Yan Chuan had already been having people collect various materials.
Upon arriving at Nanyue Lake, he further had Wang Zhengyi search through the water-based Alligator Beast Clan and the land-based Iron-Arm Monkey Group, and it was during this critical battle that he found the opportunity.
"Iron Essence."
"Copper Essence."
"Silver Essence."
"Dock Stone."
"Cloud Essence Stone."
"Iron Wood."
...
Yan Chuan touched each one, examined them, but none seemed ideal—
[Miracle Item·White Horn Trumpet (Level 21): Made entirely of the White Horn of a White Horned Water Rhinoceros, it can amplify sound. (Traits: amplification, intimidation, constraint, size.)]
(Can be upgraded with tenfold spiritual.)
(Searching for fusion materials.)
(Search complete, no fusion materials available.)
...
Unlike First-Rank Treasures, where almost any material could be fused, the requirements for Second Rank and Third Rank increased steeply, not to mention Fourth Rank and Fifth Rank.
Fortunately, although the ’White Horn Trumpet’ currently appears to be Third-Rank, it was forcibly upgraded from Second Rank to Third Rank using tenfold spiritual. Thus, the fusion materials required are those for ’Second Rank to Third Rank’.
This is hard to find in Great Yan.
In Tan Valley Royal City, the limited channels made it difficult to obtain.
But in Nanyue Lake, with the teamwork of the Iron-Arm Monkey Group, a total of over seven hundred different materials were collected, finally allowing Yan Chuan to find the fusion materials for the ’White Horn Trumpet’, and there was more than one—
[Miracle Item·White Horn Trumpet (Level 21): Made entirely of the White Horn of a White Horned Water Rhinoceros, it can amplify sound. (Traits: amplification, intimidation, constraint, size.)]
(Upgradeable.)
(Searching for fusion materials.)
(Search complete. Below are the materials sorted by fitting degree—)
(① Soul Stone)
(② Lapis Lazuli)
(③ Demon Marrow Drill)
(④ Fire Tung Wood)
...
"Soul Stone!"
Yan Chuan was pleasantly surprised. Picking up the ’Soul Stone’ with the highest fitting degree, he recalled slightly and realized, "This is the unique crystal core within a Yinming Beast, forming from condensing part of its soul after its death, with extraordinary effects."
The ’Yinming Beast’ reaches the Innate Realm as an adult, extremely rare, and no mention has been heard of such a Beast King in Nanyue Lake. It should have existed in the past, with the ’Soul Stone’ flowing out after its death, or someone might have brought it here from elsewhere and lost it to be discovered by the Iron-Arm Monkey Group.
But those details aren’t important—
"Soul Stone!"
"White Horn Trumpet!"
"Finally ready to upgrade!"
Yan Chuan was joyful.
...
The ’Soul Stone’ in Yan Chuan’s hand was only the size of a fingernail. Although its fitting degree with the ’White Horn Trumpet’ was high, the quantity was too small, not enough to support the ’White Horn Trumpet’ to be strengthened and upgraded.
More ’Soul Stones’ are needed.
But this is simple.
The hardest part of the "Treasure Rock" enhancement upgrade is actually searching for various materials. Once the corresponding materials are found, even if the quantity isn’t enough, following the clues and targeted acquisition is much simpler than previous fruitless searches.
Like ’Soul Stone’.
Upon learning that it can strengthen and upgrade the ’White Horn Trumpet’, Yan Chuan could easily spend gold and silver to purchase it in Nanxiong City or even Hunxi Royal City. As long as there are sufficient Essence Stones, it shouldn’t be difficult to acquire.
Of course.
Yan Chuan didn’t have to—
"I have the ’Gathering Treasure Basin’, can create it out of nothing, if I want ’Soul Stones’, just make them!"
Yan Chuan smiled and took out the ’Gathering Treasure Basin’—
...
[Miracle Item·White Horn Trumpet (Level 22): Made entirely of the White Horn of a White Horned Water Rhinoceros, it can amplify sound. (Traits: amplification, intimidation, constraint, size.)]
(Upgradeable.)
...
’Gathering Treasure Basin’ can create something out of nothing just by consuming Essence Stones. ’Soul Stone’ is not a particularly high-level material, the ’Fifth-Rank Gathering Treasure Basin’ can completely cover it and generate it.
Yan Chuan used merely eight hundred jin of Essence Stones to generate enough ’Soul Stones’ to support the ’White Horn Trumpet’ truly rising from Second Rank to Third Rank, completely compensating the deficit previously caused by ’tenfold spiritual enforced enhancement.’
"Treasure Rock" + ’Gathering Treasure Basin’!
This combination’s fitting degree surprised Yan Chuan!
"As long as there are sufficient Essence Stones, the ’Fifth-Rank Gathering Treasure Basin’ can easily generate Second Rank and Third Rank materials. It can’t be used for Fourth Rank and Fifth Rank Miracle Item enhancement, but for items like the ’White Horn Trumpet’, a Second Rank, Third Rank treasure, it’s handy!"
Yan Chuan couldn’t help but laugh.
With the shortage of the ’White Horn Trumpet’ now replenished, going forward, small upgrades within Third Rank don’t require tenfold spiritual, so, therefore, Yan Chuan was not satisfied with Level 22—
"Keep upgrading!"
...
"Miracle Item levels 1~10 require 550 spiritual points, this is a First-Rank Treasure."
"Miracle Item levels 11~20 require 5500 spiritual points, this is a Second Rank Treasure."
"Miracle Item levels 21~30 require 55000 spiritual points, this is a Third Rank Treasure."
"Miracle Item levels 31~40 require 550,000 spiritual points, this is a Fourth-Rank Treasure."
"Miracle Item levels 41~50 require 5,500,000 spiritual points, this is a Fifth-Rank Treasure."
...
Previously, Yan Chuan didn’t have the corresponding materials to normally enhance the ’White Horn Trumpet’, so he had to spend tenfold spiritual to forcibly upgrade it from Level 20 to Level 21, thus from Second Rank to Third Rank, which originally required only 1000 spiritual points, but Yan Chuan spent 10,000 spiritual points.
Moreover, from Level 21 onwards to Level 30, still required tenfold spiritual.
That is, if still forcibly enhancing, from Level 21~30, originally needing only 55,000 spiritual points, would need to increase to 550,000 spiritual points.
Yan Chuan couldn’t bear it.
At that time, his spiritual resources were still plentiful, and not just the ’White Horn Trumpet’, he also forcibly enhanced both the ’Golden Silk Silkworm Armor’ and ’Vajra Pet’.
Now, the ’White Horn Trumpet’ still continues to shine for Yan Chuan, but the ’Golden Silk Silkworm Armor’ and ’Vajra Pet’ have long been abandoned.
55,000 spiritual points isn’t much, but 550,000 is too much.
"55,000!"
"Piece of cake!"
Yan Chuan, full of energy, upgraded the ’White Horn Trumpet’ with the fusion materials to Level 30, the pinnacle of Third Rank—
[Miracle Item·White Horn Trumpet (Level 30): Made entirely of the White Horn of a White Horned Water Rhinoceros, it can amplify sound. (Traits: amplification, intimidation, constraint, size.)]
