Chapter 170
To create an inscribed item with the Elemental forging method, there were many hurdles to surpass .
The cultivator had to endure the absorption of the "Breath" with his sea of consciousness that comported a big risk for that center of power .
Then, he had to set his will on a specific meaning and imbue the "Breath" with that, otherwise there would be no effect attached to the finished product .
After that, it was time for the choice of the materials .
The compound had to be something that didn't conflict with the element of the cultivator and that could sustain the activity that it was meant for .
For example, you couldn't use a hard material to create a whip, it would simply conflict with the purpose of the item .
At the same time, you couldn't use something too soft either, a whip forged that way would just fail to inflict any damage when wielded .
The last hurdle was its form .
The item had to be shaped according to its future usage: you could forge a sword but, if you didn't manage to shape it with sharp edges, then it couldn't be used properly .
In Noah's case, with his last creation, the first three requirements were met: his mental sphere could store the "Breath", he managed to imprint it with a strong will, and the material used coincided with his element .
However, simply the beak of a Moon owl could not sustain many impacts and its form made it unusable as a throwing weapon .
'I can't sell it directly or the world will be informed that I'm training to be an inscription master . I'll just store it for now and maybe sell it in another place . '
He had no shortage of money, keeping that item wasn't a burden .
"I will focus more on shaping it right . Only one of these items can't last much in battle but, if I make many of them, they might be useful . "
Ivor nodded .
"Yes, once the form is in its place, your creation will only lack the proper components . Don't worry though, it takes a lot of time to find the right mixture for your specific needs, your progress so far is already above average . "
More days passed .
Noah became focused on the form of the item and he slowly improved in the process .
First, he managed to make the beaks even thinner in order to increase their durability .
Then, he forced them to bend .
When two weeks had passed, he stared at three thick needles laid in front of him .
'It's already the third day in which I can't improve the quality of this item . It's probably the limit of the compound . '
Noah took one of the needles and injected "Breath" in it before throwing it on the wall .
The inscriptions lit up and flickered but they still couldn't completely block the needle .
It stuck in the wall for less than a tenth of its body before being stopped by the sturdiness of the basement .
Noah was surprised .
Generally speaking, the students of the academy were all rank 1 cultivators .
It made sense for the inscriptions of that room to be tuned to block that level of power .
