Chapter 160: Cloud Finger

After using it approximately thirty times, the Spirit Qi will be completely depleted. It requires five minutes of meditation to recover. Wang Baole was excited and delighted, because based on the introduction by someone else he had seen on the Spirit Intranet, he knew that others at the second level of the True Breath realm could release the spells at most ten times.

No one had exceeded twenty times. However, he had made it to thirty times, and his restoration time was much shorter. This meant that he was very powerful.

My ability to have multiple transformations with the spirit roots is powerful! Wang Baole was delighted. At this moment, his Spirit Qi was fully replenished. He then recalled the Cloud Finger in the second level of the Cloud Ethereal technique.

This Cloud Finger was a specified spell of the Cloud Ethereal technique. At the same time, it was in fact the special spell of the disciples of Ethereal Dao College. Its power was naturally not ordinary. However, this spell could not be used by cultivators at first level of the True Breath realm. Only at the second level could this spell be utilized.

Upon thinking of this, Wang Baole’s heart warmed. After taking a deep breath, he took out the jade slip for the Cloud Ethereal technique and studied it. He then fixed his gaze on it, slowly raised his right hand, and controlled the flow of the Spirit Qi in his body according to the specified method in the Cloud Ethereal technique. Gradually, a thread of mist was formed, drifting out from the tip of Wang Baole’s right index finger.

This gray color mist, though seemingly ordinary, did not show any sign of diffusion or disappearing. Instead, it concentrated on Wang Baole’s index finger and encircled it, just like a short, gray snake.

“Cloud Finger is able to fade into the void and disappear without a trace. At the same time, it can diffuse like clouds, obstruct external enemies, and even be shot out. Depending on the cultivation level, it can demonstrate varying levels of lethality!” muttered Wang Baole. This was the introduction of Cloud Finger on the jade slip. Looking at the thread of mist on his finger, he was unable to see how powerful it could be. As such, he raised his right hand and waved it once.

Suddenly, the thread of mist encircling his finger really looked like a short snake. Carrying a feel of spiritual movement, it was shot out in an instant and faded into nothingness, making it hardly possible to see its path. In an instant, it touched the face of a wall.

There was no loud bang, just a thud, but Wang Baole’s eyes widened, and he took a few steps forward, breathing heavily. He saw a small hole where the thread of mist had touched the wall. Although the small hole did not penetrate the rock wall to the adjacent cave abode, the hole was very deep. By Wang Baole’s visual inspection, its depth was about one foot!

It had to be realized that this wall was no ordinary rock; it contained an array formation. Even so, the Cloud Finger was able to penetrate one foot deep, displaying its great power. This made Wang Baole take a deep breath.

At the same time, he felt physically weak. In fact, about sixty percent of the Spirit Qi in his meridians had vanished in an instant.

If it is others in the second level of the True Breath realm, they can perhaps only use it once. Even for myself, I can barely do it twice… This is too powerful! Wang Baole immediately realized that the Cloud Finger was his trump card thus far.

In the midst of his excitement, Wang Baole moved his body. He was again surprised because he felt much stronger than before. As such, he threw a few punches to assess his body, in preparation of a speed test. However, by just moving his body, he almost collided with the wall in an instant. Shocked, Wang Baole quickly stopped his footsteps, raising his hand and leaning forward to support himself.

Immediately, a loud bang came from the wall as if it had been hit by a large force. Wang Baole took a few steps, feeling shocked and baffled.

My strength has increased! But I did not see anyone commenting on the Spirit Intranet that when advancing a level, the body will become stronger. As for myself, both my strength and speed has at least doubled.

Is it because of my devouring seed and hundred percent spirit meridians?

The feeling of being stronger than his peers of the same level made Wang Baole both happy and satisfied. He did not think further. Just as he was about to continue experiencing how much stronger had he been, the voice transmission ring suddenly started to shake. Wang Baole looked down and realized that there were a few hundred voice messages in the voice transmission ring.

They had clearly been sent when he was still in a state of unconsciousness. And even when Wang Baole had regained consciousness, he had not really notice it. After seeing that, he recalled his order form for Dharmic Artifacts and quickly took a look.

After taking a glance, he instantaneously laughed joyously.

Apart from the voice transmission inquiries from his good friends, the others were order forms from unfamiliar disciples. As Wang Baole flipped through them, his eyes slowly glowed with delight.

I’ve struck it rich!

Most of them are to buy Golden Bell Bead and Shut Up. Other purchases are not common. Looks like the focal point of the advertisement is really very important.

Wang Baole was excited and continued flipping, but very quickly, he was puzzled.

Someone actually wants to buy my small wooden pail for fireworks? What would they want to buy this for? To confess their love?

After reading finish all the order forms behind in awe, Wang Baole scratched his head, fascinated.

Indeed, the number of people buying the small wooden pail for fireworks was second only to the Golden Bell Bead and Shut Up.

However, he was immediately delighted.

Looks like this brand has already gained traction. Nevertheless, I still need to stabilize longer and put a mark on the Dharmic Artifacts to prevent counterfeit goods from appearing!

Wang Baole happily counted and took out all the Dharmic Artifacts that he had refined and made in the past from his storage bracelet and storage bag. However, he was still short of a significant number of artifacts.

But Wang Baole was not at all worried. After much deliberation, he thought of carving the word ‘happiness ¹ ‘ on all those artifacts.

I am called Wang Baole. With this method, I can separate my treasures into three different grades. I will carve the word ‘happiness’ on this batch. After refining and making the Numinous Treasures, I will carve the word ‘treasure ² ‘. Lastly, when I am able to refine and manufacture Dharmic Armaments, I will carve the word ‘king³ ‘!

If there is one day that I am able to refine and make Divine Armaments, then only these Divine Armaments are worthy to have my full name carved on them!

Unfortunately, although he felt that his words were incredibly grand, there was no one around to suck up to him. While feeling quite wistful, he suddenly thought of Liu Daobin.

I hope that Liu Daobin can work harder and aim to quickly come and help me. I am facing a shortage of manpower.

While sighing, Wang Baole carved the word ‘happiness’ on all the Dharmic Artifacts and immediately contacted the department in the Dao College that managed the Spirit Intranet. He would send all the artifacts there and let those buyers retrieve and trade them.

Such a trading method was most common on Upper Academy Island. Although the department that managed the Spirit Intranet would collect some fees, this relieved producers from the need of meeting their customers face-to-face, as well as validating that the Dharmic Artifacts were real as it was officially recognized. This helped to eliminate many more undue troubles

At the same time, this allowed people to sell their Dharmic Artifacts anonymously. The department that managed the Spirit Intranet had done a perfect job in protecting privacy all those years.

In days, the first batch of Wang Baole’s Dharmic Artifacts was out of stock. With the reflux of a large amount of Spirit Stones, Wang Baole started the refinement and manufacture of the second batch. After half a month, he finally completed all the orders for Dharmic Artifacts. Looking at then Spirit Stoneshe earned, his eyes glimmered.

This helped me earn faster than the refinement of Rainbow Spirit Stones, and it’s not exhausting either… Wang Baole was very happy and used all the Spirit Stones that he had earned to buy materials for refining artifacts. Then, he opened up the Dharmic Artifacts guidebook from the Dharmic Armament Pavilion. After searching, he chose the batch that was the hardest to make and refine. He then started to familiarize himself with the manufacturing process and refine the perfect second-grade Dharmic Armaments.

In this batch of Dharmic Artifacts, there were fly-whisks, precious beads, seals, ropes, lotus flower platforms, and many others.

Although he was able to refine the perfect second-grade Dharmic Artifacts, the probability of failing was significant, and he could not be considered skilled at it. With a sufficient amount of materials, he immediately went into seclusion and began his refinement.

Very soon, in the process of manufacture and refining, Wang Baole surprisingly realized that he seemed to be different from the past.

Regardless of whether it was the carving of Inscriptions or the making of Spirit Kernels, he was much sharper and more precise. It was as if that at a glance, he was able to feel the internal structure of the Spirit Kernel that was placed in front of him. Moreover, during the carving of Inscriptions, he was able to consider the internal parts of the Spirit Kernel. He could then imprint some of the Inscriptions through the Spirit Kernels.

With this, the inscriptions became versatile and flexible. The availability of so many choices allowed Wang Baole to improve tremendously in the refinement of Dharmic Artifacts. Even though there was no major difference in the materials or the refinement process, the phase of Spirit Kernels had reached a nearly perfect level.

As if he already had a strong foundation, by laying another foundation, it became extremely strong. This resulted in the probability of failing at the stage of materials, manufacture, and refinement to be much lower. The success rate of producing a perfect product would drastically increase.

This is because of my enlightenment in the water droplet! Wang Baole’s eyes glittered with happiness.

I am not far from the day of the refinement of the third-grade Numinous Treasures and reaching the benchmark of an Armament Soldier!

Full of hope, Wang Baole was immersed in manufacturing and refining during seclusion. As one month gradually elapsed, when the ripples of the Combat Pavilion’s competition finally subsided, Wang Baole finally completed the refinement of the perfect second-grade Dharmic Artifact.

Looking at each and every Dharmic Artifact placed there emanating streams of light, Wang Baole stood up and laughed out loud.

At that moment, he was completely able to achieve a success rate of one hundred percent for any Dharmic Artifacts of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion in the list, even if it was the hardest batch to refine!

Even in the whole of the Dharmic Armament Pavilion, few were able to achieve this. Even among the Armament Soldiers who were able to refine Numinous Treasure, there were only a few that could accomplish this.

Can I now try to refine Numinous Treasures? Wang Baole held his breath. To him, Numinous Treasures contained too much unfathomable power, at a completely different level from the Dharmic Artifacts. If one made the analogy of Dharmic Artifacts as iron, then Numinous Treasures would be steel!
