Chapter 382: Some Scruples
Chapter 382: Some Scruples
When something really becomes a reality, it will cause a lot of concerns.
This re-upgrading sounds easy, but it is not simple at all to operate.
To recycle and upgrade an artifact, you must first find its corresponding raw materials, and then find the attribute stones that can be used based on its raw materials, as well as materials of a higher level than the raw materials.
After finding these things, they must be added into the refining furnace in a certain proportion and order, and an auxiliary material specially used for upgrading artifacts - the Life-Condensing Stone - must also be added.
Even though it is just an auxiliary material, it is actually one of the key materials for upgrading. Even if you have all the other materials, without it, even if the upgrade succeeds by chance, you will return to the starting point sooner or later. If you are not careful, the object will explode and be destroyed.
In this way, all the materials used to make the object are wasted.
However, this kind of life-enhancing stone is rare in the world, and it is rare to see it in its original state. Most of them are refined by using other precious materials.
This acquired product is naturally not as good as the innate life-forming stone.
Using the original state of the Condensation Stone to upgrade artifacts is simply a top-end version that is hard to come by. With its optimization and upgrade, the upgraded artifacts have greater potential and can achieve maximum effectiveness.
As for Tuanzi, it can improve the ability of the artifact without relying on Fan Nuoxi to upgrade it. This improvement is due to external factors and is not a qualitative leap in itself. Its effectiveness will be limited by its own grade in any case.
Previously, Fan Nuoxi thought this was something that could be ignored, but now, she feels it is very necessary.
After all, the enemies she faced were more powerful each time.
Although there is no truth in guarding against thieves for a thousand days, it is easy to dodge an open attack but difficult to guard against an arrow from the dark. She must have the ability to protect herself so that she will have the opportunity to protect others.
Becoming stronger on your own will give you more confidence than always relying on others for protection.
You can let others protect you, but you can't be too weak, otherwise it will easily bring varying degrees of burden to both parties.
Right now, Fan Nuoxi was feeling a little worried about the Ningsheng Stone in his hand!
The piece of life-giving stone in her hand, which looked like bloodstone, was completely different from what she had seen in the records in the book.
The book says that the Life-Condensing Stone generally appears in the forms of four colors: meadow blue, okra yellow, mermaid green and sable purple, among which the mermaid green color of the Life-Condensing Stone can produce the best effect.
Whether it is a natural or artificially refined condensing stone, the closer the color is to the mermaid blue, the better. However, the shape of the condensing stone is not very single.
But the piece of stone in Fan Nuoxi's hand did indeed have the kind of comfortable aura emitted by the life-enhancing stone recorded in the book, but she felt that there was something strange about the life-enhancing stone in her hand that she couldn't explain.
Intuitively, she always felt that this thing in her hand was not like a real stone, but more like a little living creature; but judging from the appearance alone, it was not quite consistent with what was recorded in the book, and the color was completely different from what was recorded in the book.
For a moment, Fan Nuoxi was a little troubled.
If the record in the book is incomplete, then she would be guilty of some crime if she harmed a little creature that might have been alive out of her own selfishness.
But if she doesn't use the Life-Condensing Stone to upgrade those things, she may not be able to refine the artifact-quality Shadowless Paper in a short period of time.
After all, she was also feeling tired from straining herself to refine so many pills before. What's more, she had to take care of Tuanzi now, so she naturally couldn't devote herself to refining.
But as long as she has the Life-Condensing Stone, with a little effort, she can make her reconnaissance soldiers achieve a qualitative leap in a short period of time.
When Fan Nuoxi was hesitating, he suddenly found that the Life-Condensing Stone in his hand vibrated a few times on its own.
The feeling from her palm was like she was feeling the heartbeat of a little life.
This thought almost made her drop the Life-Condensing Stone in her hand.
Suddenly, the life-giving stone rolled slightly in Fan Nuoxi's palm, and its bloodstone-like appearance quickly faded into a mermaid-green color. A pair of peach-kernel-sized ember-red eyes opened blankly.
It looked at the woman in front of it who had been looking at it, and asked in confusion, "Babubabub?"
Fan Nuoxi was a little surprised when she saw the Life-Condensing Stone change so drastically in an instant, "Are you really the Life-Condensing Stone?"
"Bubbab!"
The Life-Condensing Stone jumped in Fan Nuoxi's hand and looked very happy.
Although Fan Nuoxi didn't quite understand what it meant, she couldn't bear to use it to upgrade her scout soldier.
Perhaps there was something in this room that the Life-Condensing Stone liked, and after it said this, it flew out of Fan Nuoxi's hand.
Fan Nuoxi wasn't sure what it was going to do, so he just stood there and watched its movements.
It was seen jumping around excitedly in the upgrade materials she had chosen, just like a child who had found his favorite toy.
After a while, the Life-Condensing Stone flew above the refining furnace again, looked left and right, and fell into the furnace without noticing.
Fan Nuoxi rushed to the refining furnace quickly, wanting to use magic to pull the Life-Condensing Stone out of the furnace, but unexpectedly it became even more excited.
It jumped onto Fan Nuoxi's hand before he could cast a spell, and shouted excitedly, "Babububub!"
Seeing that Fan Nuoxi seemed not to understand what it meant, it jumped back onto the materials and looked at Fan Nuoxi with burning eyes.
"What you mean is... you want me to use you to upgrade?" Fan Nuoxi hesitated.
The Life-Condensing Stone blinked with some certainty, "Babububub!"
Fan Nuoxi was very conflicted, "But... after I use you to upgrade, will you disappear?"
This little guy looks quite cute. Although she doesn’t know why it looks so impatient, she can’t bring herself to eat it!
"Babubbab?"
Upon hearing this, the Ningsheng Stone jumped into Fan Nuoxi's hand in confusion.
Since he couldn't understand what the little guy was saying and didn't want to hurt it, Fan Nuoxi took this opportunity to throw it back into the box it came in.
"You are such a good kid, I can't bear to see you disappear in vain, I'd better refine it again myself!"
What responded to her was the sound of the life-enhancing stone colliding in the box, and a continuous "babu" sound.
After making up her mind, Fan Nuoxi began to regulate her breathing until she felt that her condition was good enough to refine the weapon.
As soon as the Dan Fire was sacrificed, the Ningsheng Stone broke through the box with a "clang" and jumped onto the ball of fire in Fan Nuoxi's palm.
Under the burning of the flame, the life-giving stone actually emitted colorful light, which Fan Nuoxi never expected.
Fan Nuoxi wanted to take back the pill fire, but the life-enhancing stone seemed to have found something it liked very much, and let the pill fire burn on it. Then it excitedly jumped onto the refining furnace with the flames on its head, "Babububub!"
"You little guy, come down quickly!"
The Ningsheng Stone shook its body, as if in refusal.
This scene gave Fan Nuoxi a headache. He waved his hands, used magic to bind it aside, and set up a formation to take away the fire from its body.
"Don't play with fire!"
"Just stay here and don't delay me from refining my weapon!"
"Babubub..."
Ningshengshi said this with some grievance.
Looking at the pitiful little eyes of the Ningsheng Stone, Fan Nuoxi felt sorry for it, but she didn't want it to do anything wrong, so she had to choose to turn a blind eye.
When Fan Nuoxi entered the refining furnace, the spirit of the refining furnace emerged.
"You human are so weird!"
"That is the top king among the life-giving stones. You actually threw it aside. It's such a waste!"
"You lousy furnace, why are you talking so much nonsense!" Fan Nuoxi threw the materials in his hand into the furnace, "Is it because I haven't used you for too long that you're itching?"
The weapon spirit snorted, "Humph, I reminded you kindly, but you don't appreciate it!"
At this time, the bound Life-Condensing Stone did something unknown, and the Shadowless Paper that Fan Nuoxi had originally prepared to recycle and upgrade and the already formed reconnaissance soldiers all flew into the furnace.
"Eh eh eh..."
Fan Nuoxi opened her mouth, but couldn't stop herself.
In this case, Fan Nuoxi had to give up the idea of refining a new one and had to go back to the furnace to upgrade, otherwise all the little guys that entered the furnace would be ruined.
Fan Nuoxi untied the Life-Condensing Stone without looking back, and caught it accurately when it rushed over.
"You little guy, aren't you afraid of being burned by my fire?"
"Bubbab!"
The Life-Condensing Stone blinked its innocent eyes, as if to promise something.
