Chapter 196: The most lavish consumption of luck, only by giving can you gain
"Li Dingguo?"
"An eleven-year-old thief?"
"When we were eleven years old, we were still picking bird eggs from trees and stealing our father's treasured 100-year-old Jinhua wine to drink!"
"Sunahai, you are not mistaken, are you? There is actually such a monstrous genius in this world?"
After checking the top-secret information in his hand, Hauge finally breathed a sigh of relief. Then he thought of something and asked Sunahai.
There was some disbelief in the words.
Indeed, this little thief Li Dingguo, at such a young age, actually became a rebel leader, which was the first case.
Although there were countless petty thieves of this age in the history of the Chinese nation, and many rebel armies would take in orphans of this kind and train them vigorously, but Li Dingguo became the leader of a powerful rebel army, which was two completely different things.
"Humph!"
Haoge snorted coldly, "A mere bunch of petty thieves actually caused the Shanxi merchants to suffer a great loss? Do they have the courage and ability to destroy Yan Zha and his men and Lijiabao?"
"Moreover, this Li Dingguo is so bold that he dares to go out of the pass to settle down and make a living by robbing various caravans outside the pass and small and medium-sized Mongolian tribes. It seems that he is indeed quite capable."
"But he has only been so arrogant for a year or two."
"Next time our army passes through northwest Shanxi, we will kill him and avenge Yan Zha."
To be honest, neither Hauge nor Sunahai took Li Dingguo's group of petty thieves seriously.
They are the Later Jin clan who defeated even the Ming Dynasty and forced it to lose cities and territories one after another!
They entered the pass to plunder and raid the valleys with an unstoppable force.
Once we have time, we can send out an elite army to wipe them out easily.
Hauge wanted to immediately lead an elite army of the Bordered Yellow Banner to wipe out these petty bandits, but his father Khan's overall plan had just begun, so how could he agree to let him act recklessly?
Therefore, we had no choice but to let Li Dingguo go for now and wait two years before making any further decisions.
……
The source of Jialu River, on the island in the middle of the lake, in the backyard of the military building.
A brand new large room located alone on one side of the backyard, it is three meters high and more than ten meters long and wide. On the ground paved with bluestone slabs, there are piles of various first-level spiritual materials.
Li Dingguo was sitting cross-legged on the ground, frowning and thinking.
"Do you want to use the luck points on my Human Emperor Cauldron to remove one layer of the seal?"
"Otherwise, this kind of magical furnace that is essential for weapon refiners would be impossible to find in this era."
"The only way I can think of is to spend twenty points of luck to remove another layer of the seal on the Human Emperor Cauldron. According to the information obtained from the Human Emperor Cauldron, its power can be restored a little bit."
"At least I can summon it from my sea of consciousness and use it as a furnace for refining weapons."
Not long after Li Dingguo refined this magical Human Emperor Cauldron into his own natal divine weapon, it conveyed some information to him.
It was mentioned that once two of its nine seals were released, it could be summoned out from the Sea of Gods and used to make pills and refine weapons.
This Human Emperor Cauldron is far from comparable to those legendary magical cauldrons.
It has a magical power: it can be any size you want.
This magical power is extremely powerful. It can make the Human Emperor Cauldron bigger or smaller according to Li Dingguo's wishes.
This depends on the strength and quantity of Li Dingguo's spiritual thoughts.
The stronger the divine consciousness, the stronger the magical powers that this Human Emperor Cauldron can activate: the Big and Small Ruyi.
With Li Dingguo's current spiritual power, if he put all his strength into it, he should be able to enlarge it to a radius of three meters and shrink it to the size of a fist.
This is enough for Li Dingguo to use it to make elixirs and refine equipment.
You no longer have to worry about not being able to find a suitable magical cauldron to purify spiritual materials, refine spiritual weapons, etc.
"Twenty points of luck are almost half of my current luck..."
Li Dingguo thought about it with some difficulty, and then made a decision. "Once I become a junior weapon refiner, it will be of great help to the current Renaissance Army. Even if I am reluctant, I must spend these luck points."
"If my guess is correct, even if you are just a junior weapon refiner, as long as you practice these basic five-element formations recorded in ancient books to the level of proficiency, you can make some good improvements to the sixty or seventy treasure ships we currently have."
"That way, if we encounter a large fleet of similar enemy treasure ships in the future, our army will have a significant advantage and our chances of winning will increase greatly."
"And the Age of Exploration has begun. The future will be dominated by sea power!"
"Don't think that I am spending a lot of money now, and I need to spend a lot of time and energy to learn the art of refining. In fact, I will gain more in the future."
“The navy of the Fuxing Army, which is the navy of the future, will have an increasingly obvious advantage, and its growth rate will be greatly improved, which will also greatly reduce the damage to our treasure ships.” As someone who had witnessed the Age of Discovery in his previous life, no one in this world knows the importance of sea power better than Li Dingguo.
Now that the decision had been made, Li Dingguo no longer hesitated. He immediately immersed his mind in the sea of consciousness and touched the plus sign behind the column about the Human Emperor Cauldron on the golden finger panel.
As the twenty points of luck value suddenly disappeared, the Human Emperor Cauldron in the middle of the Sea of Gods immediately shone brightly!
After a while, the light dissipated, and the dark yellow light emitted by the original Human Emperor Cauldron was comparable to the dark yellow Chaos Bell next to it, and was about twice as bright as its original luster.
At this time, these two innate divine artifacts were in the same sealed state, and the aura of oppression they exuded was almost equal.
This proves Li Dingguo's original guess: the Human Emperor Cauldron and the Xuanhuang Chaos Bell are treasures of the same level.
He came back to his senses from his slight trance and looked at the display behind his gold finger panel, and found that the seal of the Human Emperor Cauldron had been released again.
"Duh!"
Li Dingguo, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, exhaled and spoke. With a thought, the Human Emperor Cauldron in his sea of consciousness turned into a stream of dark yellow light and instantly disappeared from the center of his sea of consciousness.
The next moment, a large dark yellow cauldron appeared in front of him.
He did not stop his actions, and his spiritual mind continued to operate, putting part of his spiritual mind into this dark yellow cauldron.
"Buzz..."
This mysterious dark yellow cauldron flashed with light and turned into a three-legged cauldron three meters in diameter. It appeared in front of Li Dingguo three feet off the ground.
"Photography!"
Li Dingguo's face was solemn. With a casual move of his hand, a piece of black iron spiritual ore weighing about 100 kilograms placed next to him floated up from the ground, flew over under the influence of his divine thoughts, and was directly thrown into the Human Emperor Cauldron.
"My true fire, go!"
Li Dingguo's mind moved again, and a flame flickering in gold and red emerged from the palm of his right hand, and then flew into the cauldron.
As this true fire of life entered the core formation center of the Human Emperor Cauldron, a strange scene appeared: a piece of information suddenly entered Li Dingguo's mind!
It turned out that this was Li Dingguo's natal artifact. After being initially activated, it passed on the inherited knowledge about alchemy and refining to its owner.
This piece of information is extremely complex, including the refining processes and corresponding knowledge of various magical instruments, spiritual weapons, and elixirs from level one to nine.
Its complexity is much more comprehensive than the relevant knowledge Li Dingguo obtained from the three special ancient books from the ancient Qin period!
"With my current fourth-level martial arts cultivation, I can only refine low-grade magical instruments and elixirs of level one to three?"
"The power of this third-level inferior magic weapon seems to be no worse than that of a superior spiritual weapon."
"This innate divine artifact, the Human Emperor Cauldron, can actually perform automatic refining work according to the master's wishes? However, this requires a large amount of true energy and divine thoughts from the master, and is also closely related to the strength of the innate true fire."
"The knowledge I just gained about alchemy and refining equipment is so comprehensive."
“Although with my current true energy, divine consciousness, and the strength of my innate true fire, I can only refine one to three low-grade magical instruments and elixirs, this is too awesome!”
Li Dingguo had long guessed that his mysterious Human Emperor Cauldron was not simple, but he did not expect it to be so magical, reaching an incredible level.
It can be said that the value of simply inheriting the alchemy and refining knowledge from these ancient legends has far exceeded the luck value that has just been consumed.
Although he can only watch most of the inheritance now, he can only refine one to three level magic weapons and pills.
But that doesn’t mean these low-level magical weapons and elixirs are worthless.
According to the inherited knowledge of the Human Emperor Cauldron, the power of the second-grade top-grade magical weapon alone is comparable to any high-grade spiritual weapon he has ever seen.
The miraculous effect of the third-level elixir has surpassed the effect of the best medicinal soup he can prepare now: the enhanced version of the nourishing spirit soup!
The two are not of the same type or level.
What's even more amazing is that this innate divine artifact, the cauldron, can actually automatically make elixirs and refine weapons. All Li Dingguo needs is the divine consciousness, true energy, and innate true fire required for making elixirs and refining weapons.
The most important thing is to provide enough spiritual materials, herbs and roots needed to refine magical instruments and elixirs.
The quality and quantity of the finished products are closely related to the year and quantity of the materials needed to refine the magical instruments and elixirs.
In a nutshell: This natal divine artifact, the cauldron, is very powerful, but its ability to refine magical instruments and elixirs is closely related to Li Dingguo's own level of cultivation, and the quantity and grade of various spiritual materials, herbs and roots in his hands.
No matter how magical it is, it is impossible to create something out of nothing. On the contrary, it has extremely strict requirements and restrictions on refining magical instruments and elixirs.
If one wants to refine magical elixirs of level three or above, one needs to break through to the seventh level of martial arts to be able to provide enough spiritual power, true energy, and innate true fire to one's own innate artifact, the Human Emperor Cauldron, to support the consumption of refining the elixir.
Otherwise, even if you have collected various spiritual materials, herbs and roots of corresponding grades, it would be like a skilled cook without rice, and you can't even think about refining mid-grade magical instruments and elixirs.
Although this innate divine artifact, the Human Emperor Cauldron, has many restrictions on alchemy and refining, and many prerequisites need to be met, but this time a large amount of luck value was consumed to unlock its second seal. The huge harvest now has exceeded Li Dingguo's original expectations.
Is it worth it?
Li Dingguo just wanted to say: It’s worth it!
