Wei Xiao Bei shook his head. He was a bit too greedy. There was already a latent power rune and two wind runes on the arrow. When he thought about adding another wind rune, the arrow had been turned to scrap and wasted his efforts.
Naturally, this was because of the material of the arrow. If he used better material, then even if his attainments weren’t sufficient, he could still insert more runes.
In short, the better the material, the lesser the difficulty of inscribing runes.
As for the second arrow there were two latent power runes and two wind runes. This time he was not greedy.
However, the third and fourth arrow made Wei Xiao Bei feel as if he was out of luck. Perhaps because of the inferiority of the material, they were turned to scrap.
The fifth arrow finally succeeded.
Just like that, he finished refining two arrows.
Although the success rate was low, he was not discouraged.
In truth, being able to successfully create two arrows on his first try was already not bad.
He then inspected the two arrows.
Name: Flame Arrow (High quality)
Description: This item is created with Scarlet Pheasant Feather and T-rex tooth. It is then refined inside a Dragon Fire Cauldron.
Effect 1: Increase Speed. Because of the inscribed wind rune, the arrow will gain the support of the wind once it leaves the bow.
Effect 2: Ignite. Because of the latent power rune’s effect, the power of fire from the Scarlet Pheasant Feather is brought out. When the arrow hits its target, there is a chance of it catching fire.
……
The refining techniques are truly outstanding!
Wei Xiao Bei was delighted as he looked at the information.
If he used weapon manufacturing techniques, he might not even be able to make High-Quality arrows even if he made 1,000 of them.
However, with the weapon refining techniques, he was able to make two High-Quality Arrows on his first try.
It could be said that 5,000 Evolution Points and his diligence paid off!
Naturally, two arrows were not enough for Wei Xiao Bei’s use.
Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei busied himself until he ran out of Scarlet Pheasant Feathers. He made a total of 23 High-Quality Arrows.
After testing an arrow, Wei Xiao Bei made a tragic discovery. The arrows might be High-Quality arrows, but after they hit their target they were turned to scrap despite how powerful they were.
The quality of the arrow was truly inferior to the Rare-Quality Dragon Fire Arrow.
The Dragon Fire Arrow could be used 20 times!
On the other hand, his Flame Arrow could only be used once.
After refining his arrows, Wei Xiao Bei had a better understanding of refining weapons.
Naturally, refining arrows like this was a bit of a waste of time. Wei Xiao Bei calculated that he had already stayed in the Dust World for three days!
Who knows what was happening in the real world at the moment?
Thinking about this, Wei Xiao Bei immediately refined a few normal arrows and stored them inside his storage bracelet.
After all, even if the arrows were normal arrows, they were still quite powerful.
He could use normal arrows during normal situations and use the Flame Arrows and even the Dragon Fire Arrows when he encounters a powerful enemy.
With that said, Ao Yan was still currently sleeping pleasantly. Wei Xiao Bei thought for a bit and did not awaken Ao Yan. He walked to the Mutated Farmer’s Market Core and turned the White Mist Dragon Bow into the White Mist Dragon Spear. Then, he exerted power and struck the core.
Bang!
What Wei Xiao Bei never imagined was that even the incredibly sharp White Mist Dragon Spear was not able to break the core.
After carefully touching it, he noticed that the Spear had done some damage on the core.
A slight depression with a white mark was left on the core.
There was some effect, but the effect was small.
He decided to just strike at it more.
Next, Wei Xiao Bei moved 20 meters away from the core and activated [Advanced Power Burst]
Its effects were truly different from [Intermediate Power Burst]. Wei Xiao Bei felt his power surge like a volcanic eruption.
“Kill!”
With a shout, Wei Xiao Bei charged at the core like an arrow. When he was less than 5 meters away, the White Mist Dragon Spear was pointed forward and instantly struck the core.
Chi!
A faint sound echoed. The Great Spear broke the outer shell but was met with resistance after. The power of the Great Spear immediately diverted. Wei Xiao Bei lost control of it, and it was sent flying back.
A needle-sized hole appeared on the outer shell but this was not enough.
Afterward, Wei Xiao Bei extended his hand and picked up the White Mist Dragon Spear. He then continuously thrust against the core. His Spear flew out like countless raindrops, striking the core relentlessly.
Wei Xiao Bei unleashed more than 100 thrusts in a short amount of time. He only stopped when he penetrated half a centimeter deep into the core.
At this time, the needle-sized hole on the core had expanded to the size of a finger.
Wei Xiao Bei initially planned to keep expanding the hole, but even if a hole appeared, the core was still incredibly tough. After striking at the hole for a long time, he felt as if the core was like a pincushion that was made with extremely thick cowhide. There was no use at all.
In the end, Wei Xiao Bei still decided to use his old method. He placed Boston Ivy on the hole that he created and poured water on it.
The Mutated Boston Ivy grew very fast. In less than five seconds, the seed was rupturing the outer shell of the core as it was able to dig deeper.
As the Boston Ivy grew, the hole began to expand. When the Boston Ivy pulled out its vine, the hole expanded to the size of a fist as it settled its roots.
Afterward, following its growth, cracks began to appear, originating from the hole. In the end, the outer shell of the core could not endure the power of the Ivy as a human-sized hole appeared.
Following the hole’s appearance, the Life Altar on Wei Xiao Bei’s left arm suddenly shook in its sleep. It shot out countless tendrils and instantly covered up the growing Boston Ivy.
As the tendrils continued to absorb the ivy’s power, the Ivy quickly withered and died.
This was something that Wei Xiao Bei had never expected.
The Life Altar’s tendrils were in truth very weak, but they could restrain the Boston Ivy’s growth!
It could be said that there were truly predators and prey for everything in the Dust World.
The Boston Ivy could not resist against the Life Altar at all. In simpler terms, it did not resist at all. The tendrils inserted themselves in the Boston Ivy and absorbed its power, causing it to wither.
Naturally, this was definitely good news for Wei Xiao Bei.
Wei Xiao Bei originally planned to use the Mutated Boston Ivy on the island that he was about to buy as a security system.
Naturally, Wei Xiao Bei did have some hesitation in doing so. After all, the Boston Ivy was dangerous once it expanded. However, now that he knew the Life Altar was its predator, he was less worried.
After killing the Mutated Boston Ivy, the Life Altar’s tendrils dug into the hole that was opened up. It was like a group of hungry fish looking to eat the bait that fell into the water.
Wei Xiao Bei could even feel that the Life Altar had temporarily woken up. It immediately transmitted a strange message.
The main idea was supplementing and filling up.
Following the tendrils continuously digging into the hole, the Mutated Farmer’s Market Core began to shake.
To be more accurate, there were golden objects under the core constantly striking it, but the core was simply too hard. These golden objects were simply unable to break the core at all. The only opening that existed was the hole that the Boston Ivy had opened up.
However, the hole for the golden objects was a path that the enemy continued to enter.
The Mutated Farmer’s Market Core began to shake as the tendrils entered.
Wei Xiao Bei could even feel that the tendrils were currently fighting with the core, currently trying to capture something. On the other hand, the objects were quickly running away from the core.
After a while, the two sides entered a kind of deadlock
Time continued to pass. Wei Xiao Bei felt that more than half an hour had passed when the situation changed.
It was as if something was caught by the tendrils and crushed to pieces.
A portion of the tendrils appeared to have become a transparent pipe. It could be seen that these tendrils were continuously transporting golden grains that flowed out from the core, moving towards the Life Altar.
Following the destruction of more objects, the golden grains kept flowing. In the end, even the tendrils appeared to have become golden and faintly emitted light.
Wei Xiao Bei naturally knew that the Life Altar had gained a lot of benefits.
On the other hand, the golden grains might just be the strands of lesser divinity of the Mutated Farmer’s Market.
When Wei Xiao Bei was happy, a tender voice filled with disdain echoed.
1 “What is the use of a Western Evil God?”
Ao Yan woke up?
Wei Xiao Bei’s heart almost jumped out of his chest as he turned to look at Ao Yan.
There was no doubt that Wei Xiao Bei was not only worried that Ao Yan would be greedy for the inferior divinity.
He was also worried about the other party being interested in his Life Altar.
After all, the Life Altar could be considered a divine object.
“I don’t know its use.”
Wei Xiao Bei honestly answered.
“The side effects are huge…..”
At this time, Ao Yan was not like a 7-8-year-old child anymore. On the contrary, he was now like a 70-80-year-old man who began to instruct Wei Xiao Bei.
1 After this conversation, Wei Xiao Bei came to an understanding that the divinity was something that came from the Western Divine Realm. Its origin was the condensation of beliefs, and its uses were many.
