Chapter 203: The Spirituality of the Magical Weapon, [Plain Cloud World Flag]! (4K Chapter)
As Ye Ning's mental power increased to the fourth level, the levels of all the cards in his Star Vortex also unlocked a new upper limit and could be increased to above level 30.
By then, Ye Ning's strength can be greatly improved.
For the time being, summoning cards are enough, so Ye Ning does not plan to make any summoning cards for a while.
Of course, another reason is that Huang Yuetian will be back in a few days, and then he can continue to learn some forging-related content from her.
Ye Ning's idea is to cooperate with forging to make some magic weapons from Fengshen and Journey to the West.
You should know that whether it is "Investiture of the Gods" or "Journey to the West", the description of magic weapons occupies a considerable amount of space.
Many times, when the combat power of the two sides is similar, as long as the opponent takes out a special magic weapon, the situation of the battle will change immediately.
In Journey to the West, Monkey King is unrivaled in fighting power as he travels westward, but when faced with powerful magic weapons stolen by little monsters, he can only ask Guanyin Bodhisattva for help at every turn.
In Fengshen, the Xiqi army would often suffer heavy losses on their way to attack King Zhou due to the special treasures of the evil spirits invited by the Shang army.
Ye Ning had previously tried to make the magic weapon from Journey to the West.
Although it was not weak, Ye Ning was not that satisfied in his heart.
Whether it is the [Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover], [Vajra Cutter], or [Three-pointed Double-edged Sword].
For Ye Ning, except for the [Vajra Cutter] which is suitable for the Sealer, the other two still have considerable differences from the records in the original book.
If I have to say, probably only the equipment card [Ruyi Jingu Bang] can satisfy Ye Ning.
Of course, as equipment cards, [Nine-Dragon Divine Fire Cover], [Vajra Cutter] and [Three-pointed Double-edged Sword] are actually qualified.
Ye Ning just felt that they were still a little different from what he had imagined about magic weapons.
Until that time when the card [Ghost Gate] was created, a new way to use the treasure card was added.
At that moment, Ye Ning realized that it was not that he was unable to make the magic weapon, but that something was missing in the production process.
For a long time afterwards, Ye Ning was analyzing why he had never thought of making a magic weapon when he was creating [Gate of Ghost], but he succeeded in making it have the attributes of a treasure.
However, the [Nine Dragon Divine Fire Cover], [Vajra Cutter] and [Three-pointed Double-edged Sword] always feel like something is missing.
Now that I think about it, what I was missing was probably a kind of spirituality.
If it is placed on a summoning card, it is easy to understand. A summoning card with spirituality is easier to open up spiritual wisdom.
Many card makers have done special research on this, and there are also many discussions on how to improve the spirituality of the summoning cards they make.
But there is very little such research on equipment cards.
Card makers generally feel that it is meaningless to add spirituality to equipment cards.
Of course, card makers have tried to add spirituality to equipment cards over the years, but the experiments basically found no difference at all.
At least up to now, there has never been any so-called spirit weapon in this world.
Be it equipment or treasure.
Things are just things after all and cannot give birth to spirits.
Of course, Ye Ning, who is already familiar with the rules of the card world, doesn’t really care about this.
The rules for card making are more important than other rules.
Just because something has never appeared in this world doesn’t mean it can’t appear.
Just like before Ye Ning became a card maker, there were no fairies in this world, but now, at least for Ye Ning, fairies are no longer rare things.
And once Ye Ning is able to break through to the Supreme Realm, all the card makers in the world will be able to create fairies, and even original cards of fairies can be generated in various secret realms!
Just as on the day when the Mechanical Lord became the Lord, some people discovered that a special kind of monsters called mechanical beasts began to appear in some secret realms.
Since he can make fairies appear in this world, then can't magic weapons appear as well?
The answer is of course yes.
It’s just that compared to summoning cards, equipment cards may require higher innovation.
Or it can be said that Ye Ning knows much more about the process of how fairies become fairies than how their equipment becomes magic weapons.
After all, many stories mention the process of wild beasts cultivating and becoming monsters, but very little is said about how to refine magic weapons.
Both Journey to the West and Investiture of the Gods mention the past of various gods and monsters to some extent, but some magic weapons are just that way when they first appear, as if they were born to be that powerful.
Of course, if we talk about online articles, there are many introductions to the refining of magic weapons.
After all, some protagonists even specialize in refining equipment.
Since it is a creation, it must be different from others.
Anyway, within your own Yantian space, all settings are based on your own ideas.
Referring to the methods of adding spirituality to magic weapons in those online articles, the simplest one is probably to directly put a "spirit" into it.
In fact, this is not entirely from online literature. There are also stories of sacrificing one's life for the weapon in legends of previous lives.
Of course, Ye Ning didn’t want to sacrifice himself. There was nothing wrong with him. He just wanted to use something else to enchant his equipment.
There are quite a lot of methods that can be thought of at present.
The first one is the simplest, which is to use a ghost as the material when making the card, and then add spiritual settings to it.
The second method is to cooperate with the ability of [Copy]. First, directly print the card and add the effect of sacrifice to it. Then, directly turn on the sacrifice. When making equipment, directly complete the sacrifice to attach spirit to the equipment.
Relatively speaking, Ye Ning felt that the second option was more likely to be more reliable.
After all, ninety-nine percent of ghosts are undead and of yin attributes, so if you use them to make cards, you can only make magic weapons of this attribute.
If the properties are conflicting, there will inevitably be problems in production, and the result will be failure if you are not careful.
The second one is not so troublesome.
And because he often attends Teacher Mo's classes, Ye Ning's [copying] is not bad, and although he can't say that he is very proficient in those special effects, at least there will be no problems at present.
As for the first magic weapon Ye Ning wanted to make, he had already decided.
That is the [Plain Cloud Flag]!
In "The Investiture of the Gods", there are four powerful flag-shaped magic weapons, which are called the Innate Five Flags.
Of course, only the names of four flags appeared in Investiture of the Gods. In addition to the plain-colored Cloud Realm Flag representing the West, the other three are: (East) Blue Lotus Treasure Color Flag, (Center) Wu Ji Apricot Yellow Flag, and (South) Li Di Yan Guang Flag. There should be five Five Direction Flags, but unfortunately there are only four in Investiture of the Gods. However, in Journey to the West, there is a flag magic weapon called Zhenwu Soap Carved Flag. The name of this flag just fits the other four flags. I think it is probably the last flag of the Five Direction Flags.
The reason why Ye Ning wanted to make it was that the Five Directions Flags were famous for their defense in the Conferred Gods.
Among them, the other flags are not often seen, but the Wu Ji Xing Huang Flag appears frequently, because it is with it that Jiang Ziya was able to escape danger many times, and its defensive ability is quite strong.
Another reason is the [Xuanshui Flag] on Ye Ning's body. As a card made by Ye Ning in the early days, Ye Ning was actually quite perfunctory when making it.
In other words, because the material of the [Xuanshui Flag] was quite special at that time and it had a lot of power in itself, Ye Ning was a bit lazy and just made this piece of equipment with some casual work.
But now, the strength of the [Xuanshui Flag] itself can no longer keep up with Ye Ning, and if it is simply upgraded or strengthened, the effect will not be particularly good.
So for Ye Ning, it would be better to just remake it.
After preparing the treasures you want to make and the basic materials, you can continue to collect other materials.
Since it is a [Plain Cloud Realm Flag], we have to get some materials related to the Cloud Realm.
There are actually not many that meet the requirements, but there is a huge secret water realm in the western part of the empire, its name is [Yunmengze], in this secret realm there is a special material called [Yuntu].
As the name suggests, it is something that looks like both cloud and soil.
It is white and feels soft, and can float in the sky. From a distance it looks like clouds, but when people walk on it, it only sinks slightly and does not fall, so it is very similar to soil.
It is a relatively rare special floating material. Because it is very similar to clouds, it is not easy to collect. After all, it is floating, and the first condition for collecting it is to be able to fly.
It should be enough to use this special material to carry the setting brought by the word "Cloud Realm".
In addition to the materials that carry the settings, the next step is to prepare some materials that can add capabilities to it.
Among them, materials with water attributes are indispensable, and special strengthening capabilities in defense are also essential.
As for the others, Ye Ning also planned to give it some special features, so naturally he needed to find the corresponding materials.
Speaking of which, the training base is quite friendly to card makers, especially those with high rankings.
The application materials are basically free, but there is one thing: after the cards are produced, they need to be registered and tested. If they do not meet the qualification requirements, you need to pay half of the market price of the materials.
Basically any kind of materials can be applied for here, of course cross-level applications are definitely not allowed.
For the high school group, applying for purple materials is basically 100% successful, but for orange materials, you may be asked to submit application instructions or something.
Overall quite generous.
Of course, because different materials have different storage conditions, it doesn’t mean that they will be available immediately after applying. It still takes some time to adjust the goods.
But it usually doesn't last more than three days.
Ye Ning has already applied for the necessary materials, and the materials should be gathered in three days, and then he can start making cards.
Before that, he planned to practice his [copying] more, after all, he would need it when the time came.
As for what kind of cards to copy as sacrifice, Ye Ning has also thought about it.
In Investiture of the Gods, the [Plain Cloud Flag] belongs to the Queen Mother of the West, so we can just [copy] the Queen Mother of the West.
[Copy] Queen Mother of the West, and then directly start the sacrifice during the card making process. This should be considered as attaching a spirit to the card making.
There will definitely be some effect, but as to how effective it will be, Ye Ning can't say for sure now, so we can only wait and see.
So during these three days, except for the open classes at the training base, Ye Ning basically spent all his time practicing. Whenever he encountered something he didn't understand, he would go directly to ask Teacher Mo for help. As a result, he even added Teacher Mo on WeChat.
This also makes it more convenient for Ye Ning to ask him questions.
Although it was only three days, it gave Ye Ning a new understanding of [copying].
Originally, the copying of the Queen Mother of the West was just a matter of imitating her form. However, as he became more and more proficient, the effect of the copying became better and better.
By the time all the materials were gathered, Ye Ning's [copied] Queen Mother of the West had barely reached the combat power level of a purple quality card.
It would be very difficult to improve further, after all, it is just [copying].
The reason why it could be upgraded to purple quality was because the depth of Ye Ning’s Yantian Space was quite good.
Of course, Ye Ning did not continue to force anything. After all, he had not spent a long time learning by copying. Although the depth of Yantian Space was sufficient, his proficiency in the secret techniques was still far from enough.
Moreover, even so, Teacher Mo praised Ye Ning highly, saying that he was a rare talent in copying.
On this day, Ye Ning took the materials and went straight home.
Of course, he had already informed his third and fourth senior sisters in advance and told them to come back by themselves when the time came and not have to wait for him.
After returning to the villa, Ye Ning turned on the card-making switch in the room, then adjusted the status slightly and started directly.
Making cards with non-original cards is the ability given to Ye Ning by the Breath of Chaos. If the cards are made by other card makers, it is necessary to remove the opponent's breath in advance.
However, the [Xuanshui Flag] was made by Ye Ning himself, so this step could naturally be skipped.
With a thought, the Yantian Space was directly activated.
This time, it is naturally still the world of conferred gods!
With the opening of the Yantian space, various phantoms began to appear. After a period of evolution, the Fengshen World has now reached a certain depth. Although there is still some gap compared to the Journey to the West World, it is believed that with the production of more cards, the Fengshen World will surely be able to reach a level comparable to the Journey to the West World!
With a thought, Ye Ning directly activated the [Xuanshui Flag].
In an instant, the shadows of five flags floated in from the background and then unfolded above the [Xuanshui Flag].
This is?
All the five innate flags?
It seems that these five flags are really closely related.
Originally, Ye Ning was only planning to make a single [Plain Cloud Flag], but when he saw this situation, he suddenly made a decision.
Now that we have practiced so deeply, why not make a set of cards?
Of course, the set of cards Ye Ning plans to make this time is different from the previous ones. This time he plans to make them separately!
In terms of card set strength, it is naturally the strongest of the same system!
It is best for a set of cards to have the same production system, but that doesn't mean that the set will have no advantages if they are produced separately.
For some cards that are already very strong and can often be used alone, it is not impossible to make them separately, which is equivalent to adding a card set attribute to the card.
For example, this Xiantian Five-Directions Flag!
Each side is powerful when taken out individually, and they don’t have to be used together. On the contrary, it is more suitable to make them separately!
Happy New Year everyone~
It's a holiday, so I'll take a little time off. Today I only have 4K~
Please understand, after all, I updated almost 25 words last month!
Although it cannot be compared with those who can write more than 300,000 words in a month, it is better than most.
So I want to take a break sometimes.
PS Actually, another main reason is that I am a little stuck. I am still a little unsure about the appearance of magic weapons and some natural treasures. If you have any good ideas, please tell me. I will copy them... No, I am referring to them!
