0A semi-finished treasure would usually refer to a situation where the magical equipment had reached the treasure grade, but the artifact spirit that was raising them was far from being able to do so.
In this sort of situation, there were only two ways to raise a magical equipment spirit to a treasure grade. The first method was to have a grandmaster refiner personally help with the refining of the spirit; the second method could only be cultivated through the cultivation of true essence, raising the accumulation of the artifact spirit and then finding an opportunity to advance to a treasure rank artifact spirit.
Although the first of these two methods was simple, the number of weapons crafting grandmasters was probably not more than ten fingers in the entire cultivation world. Although the first of these two methods was simple, the number of weapons crafting grandmasters was probably not more than ten fingers in the entire cultivation world.
As for the second method, it was to completely rely on the cultivator's true essence to nurture the spirit, and there were almost no rules to follow. Some cultivators had been nurturing it for dozens of years, but they had never seen the slightest increase in the spirit of the artifact; some cultivators could raise the spirit of the artifact to the treasure grade in three to five years; some cultivators could raise it once in a short period of time, but not again in the future.
Of course, other than these, there were also some supplementary methods. However, these methods weren't decisive and could only be used to upgrade a treasure through these two methods.
A brilliant weapons craftsman could refine a high-grade magic tool, and a brilliant weapons craftsman could refine a high-grade spirit weapon. No matter how brilliant a weapons craftsman was, at most, they could refine a high-grade treasure's driving shell, but they could only point out the low-grade treasure spirit. In addition, the spirit refining process required the complete cooperation of the owner of the magic treasure.
Of course, just like Yang Junshan's life treasure, the Mountain Lord's Seal, although it had just reached the spirit rank, the artifact spirit was already nurtured to the treasure rank, reaching the level of protecting its master by itself. It was unlikely for such a treasure to appear in dozens of treasures.
In the cultivation world of Yuzhou, a treasure usually meant a third-rate sect's secret treasure. Although the West Mountain Yang family had Yang Junshan's battle power that could compare to Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns, they did not have a single treasure in their family, so they might not even be considered a third-rate sect. Of course, if Yang Junshan's broken trump card was revealed, it would have to be something else, if he dared!
Even if it was only an incomplete treasure, for all the cultivators here, it could be said to be a piece of cake.
"What did Fellow Daoist Little Yang say?"
According to the agreement, although Yang Junshan and his brother only occupied a third of the harvest, because of Yang Junshan's status as a grandmaster array master, he had priority in picking all the spoils of war.
Yang Junhao's lips moved, but he didn't say anything in the end.
Yang Junshan looked at the shield on the ground and smiled, "No rush, let's take a look at this refining hall first!"
The three Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns let out a smile in unison and said, "Alright, let's go take a look at what's inside the Artifact Forging Hall first."
The refining hall of the Heaven Shaking Sect had three complete sets of forging tools back in the day. These tools covered every step of the refining process, from selecting and purifying spirit materials and minerals, to maintaining and storing the magical equipment after they were released, and the total number of tools involved reached forty-nine.
Out of the forty-nine artifacts, only three of the most important ones had reached the spirit rank. As for the rest, they had reached five of the high-grade Dharma treasures, twelve of the mid-grade ones, and the rest were all low-grade Dharma treasures, capable of refining all magic treasures below the spirit rank.
In the end, there were only thirty-three items left in this set of forty-nine equipment. The rest were either destroyed, robbed, or washed and abandoned over dozens of years.
Fortunately, the crafting furnace was still there. Although one of the Spirit Ranked Weapon Fires was dying, it was still burning. As long as these two core items were still there, the remaining items would at most be slowly replenished with some time and energy.
Among all forty-nine equipment, there were five that had reached the spirit rank, eleven other high-grade ones, as well as sixteen high-grade ones. According to the records of inheritance that Yang Junshan had found in the dilapidated Artifact Forging Hall, this set of tools could be used to refine all magical equipment below the spirit rank.
After going through the inventory, there were only twenty-six pieces left, plus there were only two of the five types of Spirit Ranked Equipment, and only five of the high-grade Dharma Ranked Equipment. What was even more unfortunate was that the fire in the medium-grade Spirit Ranked Furnace had already been extinguished.
The highest set of equipment was a high-grade spirit-tier furnace. It could be used to forge a treasure. The semi-finished treasure that Yang Junshan and the others had obtained from the Heavenly Wolf Sect must have come from this set of equipment.
According to the records, of this entire set of artifacts, there were eight of them that had reached the spirit rank, seventeen of them were high-grade, the rest were all mid-grade, and not a single one was lower grade.
However, the damage to this set of tools was the highest, and there were only a few that were destroyed or abandoned, but most of them had disappeared. This included the fire in the pill furnace; it did not extinguish, but rather disappeared.
As for that high-grade spirit-step furnace, it was seriously damaged, and one of the legs under his feet was missing. The entire furnace was crooked on the ground, and half of the lid was broken, and there were a few obvious cracks on the wall. Yang Junshan reckoned that even if it could be repaired, it would still require the help of a master refiner.
Looking at these records and the remaining artifacts, not to mention Yang Junshan, even the sect leaders such as Daoist Master Jiu and Daoist Master Qiyang found it hard to conceal the amazement on their faces.
Of the three complete sets of artifact forging tools, sixteen of them had reached the spirit rank. However, other than these tools being used to refine artifacts, the rest of them were useless to him. They could not be used to fight or cultivate, but they still belonged to the spirit rank.
In fact, in the cultivation world, there were many magic treasures that were refined and used to assist in the cultivation. For example, the Spirit Dew, which was condensed from spirit plants, was an item that was often used to concoct pills, and if ordinary items were used to retrieve it, a sliver of the spirit energy contained in it would be discarded; but if a specially refined low-grade magic jade bottle was placed inside, the spirit energy contained in the dew would not leak out for at least an hour; if a mid-grade magic jade bottle was used for concocting, it would be able to keep the spirit liquid fresh for three to five days; if there was a top-grade magic sealed spirit bottle, the spirit energy contained within would not leak out for at least three to five years.
Of course, gathering the lowest quality alchemy materials like the Spirit Flower Dew was quite easy. Using a high-grade Spirit Sealing Bottle to store it was obviously a waste, but at the very least, he would need a mid-grade Dharma rank jade bottle to ensure that the alchemist could use it whenever they wanted.
If one did not have this jade vase to hold the lowest grade of ingredients, then the pill refiners would only be able to use the flower dew to condense it when concoct the pill. This was only a simple bottle of Spirit Dew, although it sounded inconceivable, but in reality, there were many similar things in the cultivation world. Even if one was a pill refiner, or even a pill refiner, one would have a high status and would be on equal footing with the Daoist Ancestor.
It was similar to the batch of talisman crafting materials that Yang Junshan and the others had found in the collapsed attic. Apart from the talismans, the spirit grade talismans were barely able to be used to make talismans, and the reason why those ten different kinds of talismans and inscriptions didn't change was because they were all magic tools. According to the grade of the talisman, these items could all be called magic tools.
For example, the two sealed spiritual tools that he had found in the Treasure Refining Hall's treasury earlier, for example, one of them had been given to Yang Junshan as an ethereal array disc. In fact, it was an array disc that had not been imprinted yet, so after the array patterns were imprinted, Yang Junshan could easily place a spirit array. The most precious thing was that as long as the array formation was not broken, Yang Junshan could still repeatedly use this kind of array disc to clean the array patterns on it.
Of course, Magic Treasures, in a narrow sense, were items a cultivator would use to fight and defend themselves, demonstrating their strength. This was also the cultivation world's bottom line used usually to define Magic Treasures, and the Magic Treasures used to fight and defend oneself were far more refined, more powerful, more difficult to refine, and fewer in number.
A very simple example: a magical jade bottle used to preserve the spirit jade dew, as long as one made it with a piece of jade that reached the magical grade, one would be able to seal it with a spirit rune, but it was also a magical treasure used to protect one's body. When Ouyang Xinlin refined the Mountain Lord's Seal, he had used more than ten different materials, different combinations, proportions, refining sequence, different control of fire, adding opportunities, and so on.
In addition to these three broken sets of artifact forging tools, there was also a large amount of medium-grade materials that were either piled up or scattered on the ground. The quality of these things were not high, but they were large in quantity.
Most of them were magical equipment, but there were also three to five types of refining methods for spiritual treasures. According to the agreement, everyone was supposed to make a copy of these inheritances to take away, but these inheritances were all quite ordinary, and they also recorded the refining methods of a specific kind of magical equipment. Adept Wu and Adept Qi Yang, most of them did not choose to make a copy, so it was likely that they all had similar or similar inheritances in their sects.
After searching everything in this Artifact Forging Hall, the time to divide it finally came. Everyone looked at Yang Junshan again, and they saw him say with a smile, "Please give me some face this time …"
Spiritual Master Jiu Wen's expression did not change. Adept Qiyang laughed, and Lin Canghai's eyebrows pricked up. Daoist Master Qingfeng's expression became slightly worried. Yang Junhao was first happy, and then he began to worry.
However, no matter how their expressions changed and how profound their mind was, they were certain that Yang Junshan wanted that semi-finished treasure. A treasure was something that even a grandmaster refiner would have a 50% chance of obtaining, and as long as one wasn't a fool, one would know what the most precious thing was.
However, Yang Junshan's final choice was out of everyone's expectation!
"Please give this junior some face and allow me to choose forty-nine of these broken equipment to complete this set."

There were a lot of words in this chapter. In response to the suggestion of some dao friends that magic treasures would soon be overflowing, Nightfall proposed some ideas, which could be considered an explanation. As a result, this chapter was a bit overkill.
The Heaven-Shaking Peak wasn't a treasure hunt. The storm was often caused by the masterminds. Who could it be this time?
The answer would soon be revealed, and speaking of the four chapters of Treasure Seeking for the past two days, it was actually just a foreshadowing.
Once again, I would like to request everyone to subscribe to my monthly tickets. At the same time, I would like to ask my fellow daoist who has a monthly ticket to support Sleeping Autumn.
