Pirated Immortals in the World of Spirit Weapons

Chapter 72 An Extremely Low Probability Event—The Mutation of the Pirated Spiritual Artifact!

Zhu Que took out a large number of discarded and broken items from the sludge storage ring.

Seeing this, the little ghosts who had originally gathered around out of curiosity immediately shrank back and floated to a corner of the cave.

"What's wrong with you guys?" Zhu Que asked suspiciously.

"Big brother, we'll get hurt if we get too close to those things," the little monkey said.

"Injuried?"

Zhu Que looked at the dilapidated artifacts in front of him and asked in surprise, "Does this mean that ghosts can also be harmed by corrosive pollution?"

This corrosion and contamination is really severe.

Even ghosts without physical bodies can be injured, so this kind of contamination is even more deadly to the living.

Zhu Que shook his head, and then began to imitate them one by one.

The replication process went very smoothly, and one after another, first-tier spiritual artifacts were replicated.

however.

After he forged a hundred first-tier spiritual artifacts, he gained nothing.

Side effects are either completely worthless or purely negative burdens.

"It's a rare find..."

Zhu Que muttered something to himself, not too disappointed, and quickly accepted reality.

After all, magical artifacts like the Filth Storage Ring, which are "trash to others but divine artifacts in his hands," are not something you can just come across easily.

That's all for today.

Zhu Que has finished his research on replicating a first-tier spiritual artifact.

He neatly arranged the hundred magical artifacts by category, preparing to replicate most of them as second-tier magical artifacts.

Most magical artifacts have little practical value, so replicating them as second-tier magical artifacts can prevent them from taking up space.

Then.

Zhu Que continued to imitate second-tier spiritual artifacts.

However, just as Zhu Que had created a glass heart and was about to create a jade core, he was about to create a jade core.

But then something completely unexpected happened—

He placed the first-tier spiritual artifact into the nine-square grid and began to imitate the Jade Core of the Body.

however.

The timing of the counterfeiting was extremely unusual.

The time required to replicate a second-tier spiritual artifact is usually around three to five minutes.

However, after the nine-square grid had been operating for half an hour, there was still no sign of it stopping the imitation, and it was already close to the imitation time for a third-tier spiritual artifact.

"What's going on?"

Zhu Que was somewhat surprised.

However, there's nothing he can do right now; he can only focus intently on the working 3x3 grid.

After waiting for more than ten minutes.

The black mist suddenly dissipated, revealing a large empty space, in the center of which lay a jade core.

However, this jade core seems to be somewhat different.

Although they look similar, the density of the spirit patterns and the luster of the material are quite different from the original.

at the same time.

Twisted tadpole-like characters appeared before Zhu Que's eyes.

He no longer had any interest in even glancing at the descriptions and side effects of second-tier spiritual artifacts.

Because we see them so often, we usually just ignore them.

But this time.

Zhu Que realized that this magical artifact might be a little different, so he took a look at its description and side effects.

however.

He was stunned after just one glance.

Because the description of this jade core is different!

[Successfully replicated!]

[Jade Core - Extraordinary: Mid-grade Tier 3, Mystic Jade Artifact. It can stimulate the vitality of cells throughout the body, eliminate impurities and filth, and significantly enhance the strength and purity of the body's tempering.]

[Mutant Trait: During combat, the effect of this artifact will be increased tenfold.]

"What...what is this???"

Zhu Que opened his eyes wide in disbelief.

He was clearly imitating a second-tier spiritual weapon, but a third-tier spiritual weapon popped up!

Furthermore, the "side effects" of the pirated artifact disappeared, and a description never seen before appeared—

Mutant trait!

"..."

Zhu Que remained silent for a full half minute, and after a long while, slowly said:

"I never imagined it could be like this: counterfeiting a pirated spiritual artifact actually has a chance of creating an upgraded, mutated spiritual artifact..."

"Is this...right?"

Zhu Que took out the Jade Core of the Spit from the empty space.

I just got it.

He then confirmed one thing—

This thing is on a completely different level from ordinary jade cores.

It feels warmer and more understated to the touch, with the spiritual patterns flowing naturally inside, breathing rhythmically like a living thing.

Zhu Que could even vaguely sense that it was "responding" to his aura.

"After replicating so many magical artifacts, the probability of this first mutated magical artifact appearing is just too low."

Zhu Que removed the jade core he was wearing.

Insert this third-tier "Jade Core of the Body - Abnormal" into the depression formed by the chest deformity.

As soon as it was inserted, a gentle force instantly spread out.

Countless wisps of spiritual energy, as fine as gossamer threads, spread out from the jade core and quickly connected to the limbs and bones.

next moment.

Zhu Que felt as if every cell in his body had been instantly awakened.

Blood flow increased, muscle density subtly tightened, and a slight tremor was felt in the bones.

"hiss--"

Zhu Que gasped in relief, exclaiming, "This effect is more than ten times stronger than the ordinary Jade Core!"

He then looked at the description of the mutation trait—

During battle, the effect of this artifact will be increased tenfold.

"What would it feel like to increase it tenfold?"

Zhu Que was extremely curious.

However, he is unable to fight now.

Apart from these little ghosts, there's nothing else in this mountain forest...

Wait a minute!

Why can't these little ghosts do it?

Zhu Que raised his head and looked at the little ghosts playing and frolicking in the distance, then walked towards them.

"Little guys, I have a task for you." Zhu Que said with a serious expression.

"What kind of mission is it, big brother?"

The little ghosts all looked up at him.

"Attack me."

"……what?"

The little ghosts were all stunned.

"But……"

The little monkey scratched its head. "Aren't we supposed to attack the intruder? Big brother, you're not the intruder."

"Let me put it another way, let's have a friendly spar, understand? Just a friendly practice, not a real fight."

Zhu Que thought for a moment and then changed to a more appropriate way of saying it.

"oh--"

The little ghosts suddenly realized what was going on.

Zhu Que beckoned to Tie Niu, "Tie Niu, aren't you good at fighting? Give everyone a demonstration."

"Okay, I'm coming!"

Tie Niu shouted and charged towards Zhu Que.

As he ran, his soul gradually solidified, and a somewhat eerie and chilling aura spread out.

Zhu Que raised his hand, gathered spiritual energy in his palm, and deflected the charging Tie Niu to the side.

He deflected Tie Niu's momentum, and his whole body was pulled to one side.

Right at this moment.

Zhu Que's chest tightened suddenly.

The Jade Core of the Devotion, inserted into the hollow of his chest, seemed to have been precisely triggered by some condition.

A strange power suddenly surged forth.

Through countless fine threads of spiritual energy, his muscle fibers, bone texture, flesh, and internal organs underwent a high-intensity tempering.

He felt an indescribable sense of comfort throughout his body.

"...The effect is just too obvious!"

Zhu Que was somewhat shocked.

This mutation trait is just too abnormal.

The so-called Qi Refining Period is essentially a tempering process of constantly cleansing the marrow and bones and reshaping the body.

The most common form of tempering is breathing exercises.

Each time you manipulate the circulation of spiritual energy, it will temper the eight extraordinary meridians, the dantian, the limbs and bones.

However, the focus of breathing exercises is on the "internal," primarily tempering the eight extraordinary meridians and the dantian.

The tempering of the limbs and bones is only incidental.

Therefore, most people temper their bodies through external means when cultivating, such as injecting medicine, practical training, and strengthening spiritual weapons.

The Jade Core itself can enhance the external tempering process, but the effect is not as good as breathing exercises.

But now.

With the blessing of "mutant traits".

A brief encounter resulted in such a terrifying tempering and amplification, completely overshadowing normal breathing exercises.

"This mutated trait is absolutely insane..."

Zhu Que was amazed.

After saying that, he looked at the group of little ghosts who were still somewhat hesitant, and his tone became extremely excited.

"What are you all standing there for? Tie Niu has already demonstrated it for you, come on!"

"Quickly, temper it..."

"No, attack me!"
