Qi Ping wasn’t too surprised by this magical scene.
This is one of the characteristics of the Shadowiron Tree, and it’s also the key that allows him to use the Shadowiron Tree to continuously temper and nurture the Shadowstone Scale Armor.
After integrating the Shadowstone Scale Armor into the Shadowiron Tree, Qi Ping immediately summoned the Tree Spirit Mark and engraved all his insights into the “Shadowstone Forging Technique” into it.
[I want to forge the hardest body! I want to become indestructible!]
[Tree! Be hard!]
As soon as Qi Ping’s consciousness approached the tree spirit of the Shadowiron Tree, he felt a strong, unyielding, and masculine will.
Truly, every type of spiritual tree has its own unique characteristics.
After integrating the Tree Spirit Mark into the Shadowiron Tree’s spirit, Qi Ping soon received a very joyful emotional response.
Feeling this emotion, Qi Ping knew he had chosen the right spell.
Creating the spell to this extent was enough. As the Shadowiron Tree continuously learns and practices over a long period, this spell will naturally be perfected to an extremely powerful level that suits the Shadowiron Tree perfectly.
After completing all of this, Qi Ping finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The long-term spell creation and artifact refining had really worn him down. Thankfully, everything was done, and now he just needed to wait patiently.
“My first set of spiritual tools, it’s all up to you now!”
Qi Ping was really looking forward to his first set of spiritual tools.
With the Shadowiron Tree continuously nurturing his Shadowstone Scale Armor, and being able to use the Earth Spirit’s associated ores to constantly enhance the armor’s strength, and with Qi Ping being able to accelerate the Shadowiron Tree’s growth through his [Plant Growth] skill…
Having such a powerful foundation and growth potential for his first set of spiritual tools could truly be described as an incredible start.
After finishing the engraving on the Shadowiron Tree, Qi Ping slept soundly for two days and two nights, restoring his spirit and mental state to their peak.
The continuous spell creation had been extremely draining on his energy.
“Only the Blazing Sunwood is left. This hasn’t been easy!”
“But as tiring as it is, the success is still rewarding!”
Through his observations during this time, Qi Ping found that the Moonlight Tree and the Starlight Wood had more than tripled their speed of absorbing moonlight and starlight energy!
Moreover, this speed was continuing to increase as time went on.
Because the spiritual trees themselves are constantly learning and perfecting the spells Qi Ping engraved into them. As the spells become more powerful, the overall spell effects naturally continue to increase.
Qi Ping could predict that in the future, not only would he have a significant amount of Moon Essence and Star Essence to sell, but he could also set aside a good portion to use as nurturing resources for his spiritual vein.
He hadn’t forgotten that his spiritual vein needed to incorporate the characteristics of the five elements of heaven and earth, as well as those of the sun, moon, and stars.
As for the Shadowiron Tree, Qi Ping believed that with the Tree Spirit Mark and the Earth Spirit, the surprises it would bring him might even surpass the first two.
“Next, it’s time to create the last spell suitable for the Blazing Sunwood!”
After finishing this spell, Qi Ping could finally take a temporary breather.
For this last spell for the Blazing Sunwood, Qi Ping didn’t want it to be too simple.
Spells similar to the “Stellar Refining Method” were decent, but they would be a terrible waste of the Solar True Fire within his own body and Crow’s understanding of the sun.
With these two conditions, Qi Ping naturally wanted to create an even more powerful spell to accelerate the growth of both Crow and himself.
Solar essence has good cultivation effects for both Crow and Qi Ping himself.
“First of all, a spell similar to a refining method is definitely necessary!”
Absorbing and refining more of the sun’s power is the foundation for everything. Otherwise, with just the tiny bit of solar power the Blazing Sunwood absorbs on its own, there’s no way to achieve anything significant.
“I might even draw on Crow’s experience in absorbing and refining solar power to create a spell with absorption and refining effects far surpassing the ‘Stellar Refining Method’ and the ‘Moonlight Refining Method’!”
With Crow’s assistance in this area, Qi Ping was quite confident. There probably aren’t many people in the Qingtian Domain who understand absorbing and refining solar power better than it does.
This spell was just the first!
Secondly, Qi Ping wanted to add an additional tempering method. While helping the Blazing Sunwood improve its own quality, it would also refine higher-quality solar essence!
This would accelerate Qi Ping’s own cultivation, as well as the speed of Crow reaching the second-grade perfection stage and its bloodline evolution!
This point also relied on Crow’s experience in tempering and purifying solar power.
It was only because he had Crow that Qi Ping had some confidence in achieving these things.
And because this was Qi Ping’s first time attempting dual-spell integration, he also needed to ensure the two spells shared the same origin and had no conflicts.
Otherwise, it would likely lead to integration failure!
If possible, Qi Ping also hoped the two spells could complement and reinforce each other, with the former used to absorb large amounts of solar power, and the latter used to purify and temper the absorbed solar power!
Moreover, to ensure harmony, it would be fine if the refining and purifying effects were slightly weaker.
As long as there was a spell model with good potential, it could continuously grow stronger as the Blazing Sunwood grew, even far surpassing Qi Ping’s own understanding!
Because the improvement brought about by the Blazing Sunwood’s pure and special innate qualities, combined with its single-minded, day-after-day cultivation of a single spell, was something Qi Ping could never compare to.
After determining the specific direction, Qi Ping got busy with Crow.
This time, Qi Ping’s path of spell creation faced unprecedented difficulty!
Because comprehending and understanding solar power was extremely challenging!
If the “Stellar Refining Method” was considered just an ordinary absorption spell, then the spell Qi Ping wanted to create now was at the secret transmission level!
The former only required Qi Ping to use a bit of Star Essence and find the optimal way to absorb that starlight force.
But the latter required Qi Ping to have a sufficient understanding and deep feeling for that power.
Even with Qi Ping’s current level of comprehension, the difficulty was immense. That’s the level of a secret transmission spell!
Fortunately, Qi Ping himself possessed the innate talent of the Yang Fire Body. After spending a full two months, he finally managed to create the prototype of the spell.
“That was really hard!”
Creating a spell of this level for the first time nearly made Qi Ping pull all his hair out; his eyes were bloodshot from exhaustion.
But he succeeded!
He managed to create a spell of this level! This was a qualitative leap!
It could be said that after Qi Ping spent a few more years polishing his Qi Condensation stage spells, there would no longer be many secrets of this level of spell left for him. Then, it would be time for him to quickly learn and create second-grade spells!
This also meant that from now on, Qi Ping no longer needed to worry about being controlled or restricted by special cultivation methods!
Because from now on, the spells and techniques he cultivated would be those he created himself!
“The advanced version of the ‘Great Sun Refining Method’ and its matching ‘Great Sun Body Tempering Technique’… I have succeeded!”
