Chapter 260: Chapter 260: The Array Spirit Wants to Become an Artifact Spirit!

Upon seeing that Lu Chen understood his words, the formation spirit danced with joy.

However, Lu Chen was in a quandary. This was the spirit of the mine formation; could he possibly take it out with him?

Although he didn’t understand formations, he knew that a formation spirit surely depended on the mine for its existence.

Just like an artifact spirit resided inside a magic artifact, if the artifact was destroyed, the artifact spirit would have nowhere to live, right?

If the Pure Jade Vase were broken, then the lady in red would certainly disperse, soul and spirit alike.

"Squeak, squeak!"

The formation spirit pointed toward the storage bag carried by Lu Chen.

"Are you saying, there’s something inside this bag that can help you?"

Lu Chen asked, somewhat taken aback.

"Squeak squeak squeak!"

The formation spirit was extremely excited and hurriedly flung itself at the bag, gesturing for Lu Chen to take something out of it.

Lu Chen had no choice; there wasn’t much of value in this storage bag.

Apart from some items he had acquired from other Xuanji Sect cultivators, there was only his Mysterious Iron Spear!

Wait, the Mysterious Iron Spear?

A spark of inspiration flashed through Lu Chen’s mind, and he immediately took the spear out and placed it in front of him.

As expected, the formation spirit became even more excited. It gesticulated wildly, one moment miming itself, then miming the spear.

Lu Chen furrowed his brow for quite a while before carefully asking, "Do you want to... become the artifact spirit of this spear?"

This time, the formation spirit didn’t squeal, but instead climbed onto the spear and nodded repeatedly at Lu Chen.

Little Black also emerged from the sleeve and joyfully said, "Master, if this little monkey becomes the artifact spirit, then your spear will become a true magic artifact... no, a spiritual artifact! Like the Pure Jade Vase, it will possess extraordinary functions!"

Even Little Black thought so, and Lu Chen himself was also greatly tempted.

But there was one issue...

"I don’t know how to refine artifacts!"

He looked at the formation spirit with a worried frown.

But the formation spirit just shook its head repeatedly and then jumped into Lu Chen’s arms, patting his palm gently as if to indicate he didn’t need to worry.

"You have a way to do it yourself?"

The formation spirit nodded again and again.

After some contemplation, Lu Chen said, "So all I need to do is temper this spear, and you can enter it yourself?"

The formation spirit nodded even more vigorously, which made Lu Chen make up his mind.

"This formation spirit is of the Metal Element, and this spear is made from a solid piece of Mysterious Iron, maybe this could work... Originally, I did intend to refine the spear again, so why not take this opportunity! If it fails, my spear won’t be affected, but if it succeeds, the spear will become a spiritual artifact!"

Thinking of how the Pure Jade Vase was a spiritual artifact with such wondrous functions, and considering the spear was his main weapon, becoming a spiritual artifact would surely enhance his strength significantly!

Lu Chen immediately became excited.

He looked around. The space here was vast, and there was only a small entrance leading outside. Biting his lip, he asked, "Can you, seal off the entrance of this mine? I’m worried that Core Formation Stage cultivators might come from outside!"

He had no idea that the Xuanji Sect Master had already reached the base of the mountain; otherwise, he wouldn’t dare refine the magic artifact.

He was completely unaware of the Xuanji Sect Master’s current situation!

"Squeak—"

Following the formation spirit’s call, streaks of formation patterns flashed in the middle of the cave!

The next moment, the formation patterns converged at the entrance, seemingly sealing off the cave completely!

"Is it done?"

After a moment, the formation spirit moved in front of Lu Chen, looking at him with an expectant face.

Seeing the formation spirit nod, Lu Chen extended his palm, and a streak of flame shot out, dancing within his hand.

"You keep watch. I don’t know what might happen during the refining process."

After reminding the formation spirit, Lu Chen flung the Spiritual Fire onto the spear and also threw out Little Black!

Little Black landed and quickly grew to its original size, its uniquely colored horn pointing at the spear amidst the flames.

At the same time.

Below the mountain, the Xuanji Sect Master suddenly opened his eyes.

"Eh? It seems I can sense some incredibly pure spiritual power auras. Perhaps I should go have a look?"
