Jeming eagerly took out the prototype of the "Eye of Scouting" from the storage box, along with some rare materials prepared beforehand for improving the Talisman Witchcraft Artifact.

With new spiritual power and True Essence support, Jeming's grasp on the characteristics and details of the runes and materials became more precise.

He modified the structure of the runes, adjusted the flow of energy, and integrated some more intricate runes into it.

After a round of refinement and reshaping, the originally rough transparent crystal became more dazzling, with the runes inside it seeming to come alive, emitting a faint and restrained glow.

The appearance didn't change much, still resembling the crystal eyeball, but it looked more perfect.

"It should be ready now." Jeming suspended the new "Eye of Scouting" prototype in the air.

After shutting down the laboratory's protective barrier, Jeming activated the talisman and connected his mind to it.

He walked to the laboratory door, quietly placing the Eye of Scouting on top of the doorframe, and then returned to his seat.

This time, the information perceived was no longer vague and scattered fluctuations.

The Eye of Scouting seemed to truly become an eye, "projecting" the scenes within a few hundred meters around him into Jeming's divine sense in a peculiar way.

He could clearly "see" the figures of the apprentices in the hallway, sense the life energy fluctuations within their bodies, and even distinguish the faint energy emitted by the witchcraft artifacts they wore.

Moreover, this perception was continuous, like connecting to a surveillance camera; as long as the Eye of Scouting was not destroyed, it could continuously transfer information, and his own consumption of spiritual power was negligible, only the minimal needed to maintain the soul connection.

Of course, the prototype still had its shortcomings.

Its range was still limited, unable to penetrate thick walls or powerful barriers.

In complex environments, such as the energy-interfering battlefield of the Gray Rock Realm, its sensing effect might be greatly diminished.

Furthermore, it could only passively perceive, lacking active scanning or tracking capabilities.

"There's still a lot of room for improvement." Jeming looked at the Eye of Scouting floating in the air, his eyes filled with passion.

In terms of effect, this Eye of Scouting was not even up to the range of him actively releasing alchemy and deciphering skills.

However, since the initial prototype has been completed, he only needed to continue optimizing along this path.

Jeming didn't continue experimenting, returning the Eye of Scouting to the lab bench, and with excitement, turned his attention to the depths of his consciousness.

Now, there was a clear direction for the research of scouting-type Talisman Witchcraft Artifacts, and his cultivation had reached the Qi Cultivation Late-stage.

This meant he could start working on his next, and most important plan he had always had.

That is—Artifact Refining!

It's time to start refining his very first Magical Treasure!

Qi Cultivation Late-stage.

According to the cultivation technique, at this stage, a cultivator's True Essence had accumulated to a certain extent, and the divine sense was enough to undertake more complex tasks, allowing them to start engaging in some auxiliary skills with higher cultivation requirements.

Among them, the most important is Artifact Refining.

Although ordinary cultivators could also refine some small artifacts through various means, the outcome which could be formally termed as Artifact Refining was only one, which is the "Magical Treasure".

Magical Treasure is a unique concept in the Cultivation System.

It is not just a powerful artifact but represents the cultivator's "Dao", a life-bound object connected in spirit, able to grow alongside the cultivator, even possessing incredible powers.

This fundamentally differs from witchcraft artifacts and even other small artifacts refined by cultivators—the latter rely more on external energy and precise structures, with their power largely depending on materials, runes, structure, and the level of input energy, with relatively indirect connection to the user.

A Magical Treasure requires the cultivator to integrate their True Essence, divine sense, and even a trace of Divine Soul Origin, using their own True Flame to temper the material's spirituality, engraving an array containing the corresponding "Dao" with their divine sense to finally refine a life-bound artifact aligned with their aura, capable of being effortlessly controlled and growing alongside their cultivation.

In essence, Artifact Refining is not just a craft but a process of materializing one's understanding of the Dao and the rules of the universe into a powerful artifact.

This concept of imprinting one's "mark" into the artifact, granting it "spirituality" and "growth", is not possessed by ordinary artifacts.

For Jeming, refining a Magical Treasure not only enhances combat power but more importantly allows him to remedy the deficiencies in his current combat system.

With Talisman Witchcraft Artifacts, he doesn't lack offensive means.

The reason he intends to engage in Artifact Refining is mostly because he values the "spirituality" of the Magical Treasure itself.

Jeming chose to initially bypass the making of intelligence-assistive tools and prioritized crafting the scouting-type Talisman Witchcraft Artifact because of this thought—he plans to use a Magical Treasure initially possessing spirituality as an intelligent terminal to assist in processing information.

Spirituality is not a unique attribute of Magical Treasures; after all, high-tier witchcraft artifacts, or Rune Artificial Intelligence, possess not only spirituality and can even develop "wisdom" under suitable conditions.

But at this stage, to make an artifact possess spirituality, Magical Treasure is the only option.

Delving deep into his consciousness, Jeming began selecting from various Magical Treasure refining methods provided by the Great Dao Book Pavilion.

Considering the differences between the Wizard World and the Cultivation Immortality World, Jeming set quite stringent requirements for the Magical Treasure.

First, the cultivation requirement for creation couldn't be too high, and then there were limitations on the tools for making it—after all, some furnaces for exclusive Artifact Refining require at least the Golden Core Stage to fabricate.

Therefore, he could only select Magical Treasures that could be refined using the most primitive methods.

Bearing in mind the lack of Spiritual Qi in the Wizard World, it was best to minimize the Magical Treasure's dependency on Spiritual Qi.

This effectively ruled out those Magical Treasures specializing in direct attacks; fortunately, Jeming wasn't lacking in offensive methods.

Considering material differences, Magical Treasures requiring precious materials or special substances for manufacture were directly ignored.

Fortunately, due to the Cultivation Immortality Civilization's evolution of conceptual extraction abilities, material constraints were not too significant.

Since this Magical Treasure is mainly an intelligent terminal for assisting in processing information, the spirituality produced after refining it needs to be sufficiently strong.

Moreover, it would be ideal if this Magical Treasure could address the shortcomings of his current combat system and offer means of protection.

...

After sifting through these numerous requirements, even Jeming felt he might be being a bit excessive, but the Great Dao Book Pavilion still provided him with a plethora of options.

Spending a few days picking and choosing deep within his consciousness, Jeming finally found his desired target in the vast array of Magical Treasure manufacturing diagrams.
