72: Chapter 72 Refining Treasures

Listening to the words of this elderly phantom, Lin Shen nodded slightly, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.

Just as he expected, this elderly phantom was not a pure weapon spirit.

But what was worth celebrating was that, due to the loss of his previous memories and having been reduced to a weapon spirit after death, this elderly phantom no longer had the ability of Possession.

Only in this way would he dare to use the treasure-seeking compass with peace of mind to help him search for treasures.

Otherwise, no matter how powerful this treasure-seeking compass was, he would not dare to rashly refine it; after all, there was always the risk of being suddenly subjected to Possession at any time.

"Very well, wouldn't it have been over if you had spoken earlier? Only in this way can everyone cooperate happily together!"

Lin Shen nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, you haven't told me what you are called yet."

"It's as if I had said that earlier, and you wouldn't have grown suspicious?"

That elderly phantom couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart.

However, he wouldn't dare say these words to Lin Shen's face; he could only inwardly harbor grievances.

Hearing Lin Shen ask what he was called, the elderly phantom let out an awkward laugh: "I don't even know what my name is; my memories are far too incomplete. That brat Li Yifan called me Elder Hun, and Little Friend can address me as such!"

"Elder Hun, is it?"

Lin Shen nodded, bringing the topic back on track: "What exactly is the use of this treasure-seeking compass? Even if most of your memory has been lost, as its weapon spirit after your death, you should know, right?"

Based on Elder Hun's previous answers, Lin Shen had managed to analyze that Elder Hun's memory was incomplete. If he had relied solely on him, Li Yifan would have had no way to obtain so many treasures.

Therefore, the most crucial node still lay on this treasure-seeking compass.

Facing Lin Shen's inquiry, Elder Hun answered truthfully: "This treasure-seeking compass is naturally as its name implies. After using it, you can search within a radius of ten thousand miles for the ruins or Secret Realm closest to you, Little Friend.

Back then, Li Yifan relied on this treasure-seeking compass to find multiple ruins and Secret Realm locations, and then, relying on my precise directional guidance and mechanism elimination as a weapon spirit, he obtained multiple Legacies and treasures."

Listening to Elder Hun's words, Lin Shen nodded.

The function of this treasure-seeking compass wasn't much different from what he had imagined.

Indeed, this treasure-seeking compass was his greatest harvest this time.

As long as he had this treasure-seeking compass, wouldn't he be able to obtain a massive amount of ancient Legacies in the future?

Whatever treasure he wanted, he would have?

Suppressing the agitation in his heart, Lin Shen continued to ask Elder Hun inside the soul-absorbing banner: "You are the weapon spirit of the treasure-seeking compass. Are there any restrictions when using this treasure-seeking compass?"

This was the point Lin Shen cared about the most.

He certainly didn't believe that this treasure-seeking compass had no restrictions; otherwise, if it could search for ruins or treasures without restrictions, Li Yifan couldn't possibly have obtained only this little bit of treasure in the span of three years.

Unless Elder Hun had deliberately suppressed Li Yifan.

But this was clearly unlikely; after all, Elder Hun was dying for Li Yifan to grow rapidly to help him recover his memories sooner. How could he possibly deliberately suppress him?

Facing Lin Shen's inquiry, Elder Hun answered truthfully: "This treasure-seeking compass needs to absorb the essence of the moon before it can be used. The more moon essence accumulated, the more bountiful the discovered ruins or Secret Realm will be. Each use must be separated by an interval of at least about a year."

"An interval of about a year, you say?"

Hearing Elder Hun's reply, Lin Shen nodded thoughtfully and said: "This isn't considered long either; it's just the time of my daily seclusion."

Nodding, Lin Shen continued to ask Elder Hun: "Right, now that you have left this treasure-seeking compass, it shouldn't have any impact on this treasure-seeking compass, right?"

Now Elder Hun was subjected to the soul-absorbing banner, and since he was the master of the soul-absorbing banner, Elder Hun had no way to lie to him.

As long as there was the slightest lie, he would immediately be able to perceive it based on his spiritual sense fluctuations.

"There is no impact at all. I haven't been obliterated yet. As long as you use this treasure-seeking compass, the most precise orientation will be transmitted into my memory, and then shared with you by me."

Elder Hun answered truthfully.

Listening to these words, Lin Shen did not sense any spiritual sense fluctuations from Elder Hun.

He knew that what Elder Hun said was very likely true.

Without hesitating any longer, Lin Shen made the soul-absorbing banner float suspended in mid-air, then grabbed the treasure-seeking compass on the ground and quickly began refining it.

At first, Lin Shen's refining progress was not very fast because he needed to untie layers of seals.

But with the guidance of Elder Hun inside the soul-absorbing banner, these layers of seals were directly and quickly undone by Lin Shen.

However, even so, facing such a treasure passed down from ancient times, Lin Shen still spent a full month or two successfully refining this treasure-seeking compass and carving his own Soul imprint inside it.

And with this treasure-seeking compass completely refined, Lin Shen gained an even further level of control over Elder Hun inside the soul-absorbing banner.

This caused a trace of a smile to involuntarily appear at the corner of Lin Shen's mouth.

For such a remnant Soul passed down from ancient times, he could now be considered to have completely mastered it.

Having successfully refined the treasure-seeking compass, Lin Shen did not stop. Instead, under Elder Hun's continued guidance, he quickly refined the remaining treasures obtained from Li Yifan all together.

A heavy saber, a scroll, a bagua mirror.

The grades of these three treasures were obviously much lower than the treasure-seeking compass. Adding all three treasures together, Lin Shen only spent a little over ten days to successfully refine all of them.

Among these three treasures, the most precious one was the bagua mirror that Lin Shen had never seen Li Yifan use.

The main function of this bagua mirror was to use the other party's own Dao against them.

As long as this bagua mirror was used during battle, it could directly store and rebound the opponent's attacks.

Of course, this bagua mirror was not invincible either.

If that were the case, when battling Qin Tieying, Li Yifan would have long since used it and rebounded Qin Tieying's attacks back onto Qin Tieying. How could he have ended up in such a sorry state and used a ten-thousand-mile escaping talisman to escape?

The main reason was that using this bagua mirror consumed a rather large amount of Spiritual Qi.

If the opponent's strength was too formidable and it was used by force, I'm afraid that after using it once, one's own Spiritual Qi would be completely drained, making it utterly impossible to achieve the desired effect.

But this was already powerful enough.

As long as one's own Spiritual Qi was sufficient, coupled with proper use, under circumstances where the opponent was careless or went all out with a desperate strike, one could completely sacrifice the bagua mirror and use the opponent's attack to deal a fatal blow.

Having successively refined these three treasures, Lin Shen very satisfiedly put them away into his Storage Pouch.

He slowly stood up from the ground, waved his hand to wipe away all traces of himself in the cave, looked towards the direction of Chiyun Valley, and then his figure flickered, directly disappearing from where he was.
