Chapter 41 Level 0 Equipment
Life in the Dreamy Little Three Realms was both dull and fulfilling.
During the day, Han Li led the two young girls through the spiritual herbs, identifying their medicinal properties and collecting spiritual materials; after nightfall, the three of them sat around the campfire, inhaling and exhaling spiritual energy and practicing spells.
Time slipped away quietly in the daily practice, and before long, the secret realm was about to close.
Han Li then took out all the materials he had collected during this period, especially the spider silk he obtained from the white jade spider. He held his breath and focused his mind, his fingertips flashing with spiritual light, and began to refine the dream equipment.
A few days later, two complete sets of equipment emitting a soft white light, along with three specially made belts, were quietly placed in front of Han Xiaoliu.
This is the "beginner's best gear" he tailored for his two little girls.
At first glance, this equipment looks no different from the level 0 equipment sold in the general store in Jianye City:
Square scarf: An ordinary cloth hat, seemingly unremarkable, yet exuding a sense of returning to simplicity.
Cloth skirt: A soft cotton long skirt with a warm and lustrous color, it is exceptionally light and comfortable to wear.
Cloth shoes: Cloth shoes with multiple layers of soles, fine stitching, lightweight and breathable.
Amulet: An antique metal pendant engraved with obscure runes, faintly radiating spiritual energy.
However, if one examines these ordinary items closely with divine sense, one will discover astonishing secrets hidden beneath them.
Unlike ordinary weapon refiners who haphazardly pile up materials, Han Xiaoliu perfectly integrated the formation techniques from "A Record of a Mortal's Journey to Immortality" with the equipment crafting methods from "Fantasy Westward Journey".
He inscribed miniature Five Elements array patterns inside each piece of equipment, endowing them with abilities surpassing ordinary iron:
The inner lining of the skirt is engraved with "Rejuvenation Array" and body constitution array patterns, which continuously nourish the wearer's body, greatly increasing the upper limit of Qi and blood and the recovery speed.
The handkerchief and amulet are engraved with "spirit gathering arrays" and magic array patterns, which can amplify spiritual energy reserves and make spells last longer.
The clothing was engraved with the "Vajra Mantra" and defensive array patterns, greatly enhancing its physical and magical defense, making it difficult for ordinary low-level spells to harm it in the slightest.
The soles of the cloth shoes are engraved with "Wind Array" and agility array patterns, making the wearer walk lightly and have speed and evasion capabilities far exceeding those of others of the same level.
What's even more astonishing is the uniqueness of the materials. Because the spiritual silk spun by the white jade spider is mixed into ordinary cotton, these items are not only as tough as top-grade magic weapons, but also inherit the white jade spider's innate supernatural abilities—water and fire repellency.
Whether diving into deep rivers or traversing seas of fire, this outfit can provide the wearer with a natural elemental shield.
Han Xiaoliu poured his heart and soul into refining the belt into a series of "storage magic artifacts".
On the surface, it was still that seemingly ordinary cloth belt, about two fingers wide, with a simple and elegant color.
However, inside it, Han Xiaoliu used the extremely strong toughness of spider silk and the method of refining storage bags to inscribe extremely complex storage array patterns.
This belt has actually been crafted into a storage device with six independent compartments!
Four of the spaces are specifically for storing inanimate objects, while the other two spaces are crafted using the method of making spirit beast bags, possessing the function of storing spirit beasts, allowing summoned spirits to temporarily reside and recover within them.
To avoid attracting attention, Han Xiaoliu also designed two exquisite hooks on both sides of the belt, on which hung two seemingly ordinary low-level storage bags.
This "openly repairing the plank road while secretly crossing the Chencang pass" design is enough to mislead most covetous people, making them think that the hanging bag is the treasure, unaware that the real treasure is hidden in the inconspicuous cloth belt at the waist.
"Daddy, this belt is amazing! I feel like I can put a lot of things in it." Han Baibai curiously touched the two hooks on the belt that were used to deceive people, her eyes full of joy.
Han Xiaoliu smiled slightly and helped them put on their equipment one by one. Looking at the two fully armed little cultivators in front of him, he felt that something was missing!
arms!
After much deliberation, Han Xiaoliu decided to tailor-make suitable weapons for them.
With refined iron as the base and a small amount of precious tungsten gold added, it is continuously tempered and refined in a blazing fire.
The combination of refined iron and tungsten gold balances the five elements and enhances the flow of spiritual energy, ensuring both the sharpness and strength of the weapon while maintaining its agility.
He first crafted a long whip for his daughter. The whip was flexible, the tip was sharp as a blade, and its metal body could be enhanced with lightning magic.
Then, he forged a pair of exquisite short swords for Daya, with long, narrow blades and a chilling gleam.
The weapons were forged according to the equipment blueprints learned from the gang.
He also used the crafting methods of the mortal world to carefully inscribe the patterns of two spells, "spiritual energy shield" and "sword aura," on the whip and sword blade.
These patterns are not merely decorations, but rather mediums capable of storing spiritual energy and activating spells.
In critical moments, a single thought is enough to activate a spell, without expending any of one's own mana. Once the spell is used up, it can be refined again to restore its remaining uses.
When the two little girls received their new weapons, they jumped and danced with joy, lovingly stroking the patterns on the whip and blade, their eyes filled with wonder and delight.
In the days that followed, it became a daily routine for the two girls to find two low-level demonic beasts to spar with when they went out of the city to find medicinal herbs.
Through real combat, they became familiar with the characteristics of weapons and explored the techniques for activating spells, gradually improving their skills.
Ding! The Summoning Spirit Kindergarten is now open, with the release location in Jianye City!
As the system notification sound faded, the tranquil morning mist of Jianye City was abruptly shattered.
Several small summoned spirit cubs, already showing signs of mutation, appeared out of thin air, instantly shattering the tranquility of the street.
Two mutated wild boar cubs stood out. They were a size larger than ordinary wild boars of the same age. Their short pink and blue hairs stood up like a layer of spiky armor. Although their tusks were not yet fully grown, they already gleamed with a cold, metallic light. They exhaled coarse breath from their nostrils, and their hooves pounded the thin frost on the bluestone slabs with a dull "thump-thump" sound.
The two ordinary wild boar cubs beside them were slightly smaller, with light brown fur, and their eyes were innocent yet wild. They swung their short, thick tails and ran wildly after their mutated companions.
Not far away, a mutated tiger cub let out a low growl, its voice childish yet menacing. Purple and white stripes appeared on its mottled fur, like a natural totem. Its limbs were short but its muscles were bulging, and its sharp claws made a piercing sound as they scratched the stone pavement.
The mutated goat-headed monster cub, with its spiraling horns and light gray fur, had a bewildered yet wild look in its eyes as it hopped and crashed into the roadside bushes.
The most eye-catching creature was a mutated flower fairy cub. Its petal-shaped skirt shimmered with a pale purple halo, its long, vine-like hair hung down, and its two thin wings fluttered gently as it flew lightly to an old locust tree on the edge of the city. The branches and leaves swayed slightly under its weight, and occasionally it would flick its vines and sweep a few leaves off the tree.
Along the riverbank on the outskirts of the city, the mutated giant sea turtle hatchlings have spiral patterns on their shells, gleaming with a golden luster. Their limbs are as thick as pillars, leaving wet watermarks wherever they crawl.
The larvae of the sea worm are covered with blue bristles. When they wriggle, the bristles rustle and shake. They follow the sea turtle into the water, splashing up a lot of water and startling the fishing boats, which hurriedly bring them to shore.
As soon as these summoned spirit cubs appeared, they scattered and fled: herds of wild boars charged wildly, tigers and goat-headed monsters ran wildly toward the city gate, flower fairies flapped their wings in the trees, curiously observing the chaos below; sea turtles and sea worms in the river stirred up waves, startling schools of fish into scattering.
The once peaceful city of Jianye was instantly plunged into chaos and turmoil.
[Party] Han Baibai: Huh? Daddy, the space notification says "Summoning Spirit Kindergarten" is open? What kind of new event is this?
[Team] Han Xiaoliu: A lot of summoned spirits have just appeared in Jianye City, and they're all mutated! It looks pretty lively, bro, hurry up and bring them back to catch!
[Team] Han Li: Here we come!
The flying talisman was activated, and the four figures who had gone out to collect herbs appeared at the Jianye City teleportation point. The sudden appearance of the people frightened the cubs, who scattered and fled.
[Team] Han Baibai: Wow! There's a tiger! And what's that flying thing?! So cute!
[Team] Han Xiaoliu: Stop watching! This is an event to catch summoned spirits! Let's catch all the summoned spirits first, then we'll discuss how to divide them!
[Team] Han Li: Capture the summoned spirit? Is controlling it enough?
[Team] Han Xiaoliu: Yes! We caught the spirit beast bag.
[Team] Han Baibai: I want to catch that white tiger!
[Party] Jade Maiden: ...I'll help the young lady catch a tiger!
[Team] Daya: I'll help too! ...
[Team] Han Xiaoliu: Let's catch them first! Whatever we catch, we'll divide it up later!!
[Team] Han Li: Okay, I'll do as you say.
[Team] Han Xiaoliu: Stop talking nonsense! The flower fairy is running in front of me, I'm going to catch her!
Han Xiaoliu quickly summoned Bubble and pointed at the summoned spirits scattering in front of him, saying: Quick, the Summoned Spirit Kindergarten has opened, catch the summoned spirits!
[Soul Link] Bubble: "Catch the flower fairy! Catch the flower fairy! Let it grow herbs for us at home!"
Bubble took out a ribbon-like magical artifact and rushed towards the flower fairy flying in the air, clearly showing that she cared about it the most.
