The Heavenly Road: God Hunters

Ch31 Artifacts and Medicinal Pills

Rai also explained everything in detail. Starting from the departure of Kenshin until the assignment of Helio by him. To finish off the remnants of the enemy group left behind. Taki quickly understood all the things Rai Ken explained to him.

"I didn't think it would be like this" said Taki.

"Who knows what will happen in the future. Even I myself was surprised to see your cultivation development You actually broke through the Sacred Realm at your 20th age, you have carved such a great feat. I waited for the moment when you reached the same height as me. In this way, I will not worry anymore to give up my position to whom it will be," Rai Ken praised him.

"Chairman, you praise me too much. I'm not as good as you think. There are still many less than me. That position might be more worthy of being given to the supreme Fire Elder" Taki said, rejecting Rai Ken's over-compliment towards him.

"Like foot with your nature. You're always down when someone praises you. Ahh, stop. Let's talk about the mission I'll give you next" said Rai Ken.

Actually Taki had guessed what mission the Sect Chief would give him and why he should run it. Even so, he still chose to be quiet and listen to what he wanted to say first to him.

"Defense Arts Tournament will be held in approximately 3 months. I need you to escort the five of them to participate in the tournament. I hope you can carry it out and be able to keep all five of them from enemy attack" said Rai Ken.

Taki also nodded in understanding.

"Then go back first. Start getting ready to guard them all the way to the Arkhan Imperial Capital, Hansu, where the Martial Arts Tournament is held. You know where it is, Taki?" Ask Rai Ken.

Taki also chuckled at the question. It was strange if he did not know the location of the tournament. It was because of this that he earned the nickname Little Emperor. A 5-year-old genius boy who is able to defeat his 10-year-old opponent.

"Hahahaha,, Sect Leader joked. I might have forgotten that place. Because that's where I've until now been called as a child," Taki recalled the previous Martial Arts Tournament.

"Hahahaha, thankfully you remember. Yes, already then. You go back and rest. Because this journey is for the sake of getting experience, therefore the journey will be done by walking. Without using the dimensional portal," he explained again.

Taki also said goodbye and immediately resigned from there. Finished from the Sect Chief's residence, Taki walked towards the Fire City branch's Red Dawn Association. The reason he came to the store was to exchange for the items he had obtained from his previous trip.

"Tiered two and three sword artifacts were extremely fragile. Looks like I need to get a higher-level artifact" Taki murmured.

Taki also approached a servant and asked about a level 4 or higher Sword Artifact in the Red Dawn Association in the Fire City branch.

Then the servant delivered several sets of swords for him to see. Taki also chose one of them and paid for it with the Materials he got.

Not just looking for artifacts. Another reason Taki visited the Red Dawn Association was to look for a medicinal pill that could cure him.

"I can't believe. This trip will give me a lot of benefits. With these pills, even though my wounds are quite deep. At least I can cure it before morning," Taki said as he looked at the medicinal pills he obtained from exchanging for booty from the enemy.

Arriving at his residence, Taki immediately took the pill. And start healing.

It doesn't feel like the night is changing in the morning. Taki was preparing to go to the city gate to meet the five children he was going to deliver to Hansu City. The Martial Arts Tournament.

From a distance, Shiro, Moegi, Kesha, Zaraki, and Gao Li were talking. They can't wait to make that trip.

"It's good that you're excited like this. Are you all ready..?" Taki Tanya surprised the five of them.

"Sir..!!! Can you not surprise us all. Your usual behavior hasn't changed much, Elder Taki," Kesha sneered.

"Haha, sorry, sorry," she apologized.

"Then let's go. Towards Hansu City. The Martial Arts Tournament. Which is held once every 15 years by the Arkhan Empire,"

"Yeeaahhhhh...!!!" Reply them simultaneously. That way their journey begins.

Somewhere else, though,

"Teacher..! You said you'd teach me to be a Forger and a Medicinal Conductor. Did the teacher lie about that..?" Ask Asta.

"When the teacher lied. What do you know about the artifact itself. If you don't know the meaning of the Artifact itself, how far do you understand the Artifact..?" Ask back to the teacher.

"Are Artifacts not just weapons? What else is the meaning of an Artifact other than a weapon," Asta replied while frowning in wonder.

"Phuahahaha," Zaru laughed loudly at Asta's mouth,

"You're right..!! An artifact is just a weapon..!!! Ahahaha...!!! Then try to show me the power of that Ocean Jade Ring weapon of yours, Hahahahaa," Zaru sneered.

"Ahh, Hahahahaa," Asta laughed embarrassedly at his words.

Flares shook his head slowly before starting to explain the meaning of the Artifact itself.

Artifacts are equipment made using Soul Material. Material Soul itself is a living ore, like plants or animals.

The artifacts themselves are generally divided into 7 levels. Which level of the artifact is determined by the age of the Soul Material used.

Low Level (1-10 years),

Intermediate (11-50 years),

3.High (51-100 years), high,

Epic (101-300 years)

Miraculous (301-800 years),

Legendary (801-1200 years old),

God (1200-5000 years).

To increase the power and power of the artifact. It was no stranger if a blacksmith fused Soul Material with the Body Parts of an Unseen Animal or an Animal Gem, to create an artifact with certain characteristics, namely a Spirit Artifact.

Spirit Artifacts were somewhat different from ordinary Artifacts. Therefore Spirit Artifacts were always stronger than Artifacts could be on the same level. Because at least the Spirit Artifacts stored the power of the Unseen Beasts.

Even so, not many blacksmiths dared to forge Spirit Artifacts. Even if there is a risk of failure in the manufacture of so high and the process of making it complicated will always lead to a disaster.

Forging Spirit Artifacts was very different from forging ordinary Artifacts. Because fusing Soul Material with Animal Gems or supernatural Animal body parts, it is the same as uniting the Spirit of the Unseen Animal with the Material Spirit of the Soul. This will certainly result in rejection of each other. Not even infrequently heavenly lightning rained down on the Forging Forger.

The success of the forging process of Spirit Artifacts was when the Unseen Animal Spirit had successfully conquered the Material Spirit. Thus created the Spirit Artifact with the characteristics of the supernatural animal. However if the Material Soul Spirit managed to swallow the Spirit of the Unseen Animal. So the forging of Spirit Artifacts also failed. The Material Spirit will take on the physical form as well as the power of the Animal Spirit. And was reborn into a Mutated Gharib Animal.

Asta nodded slowly understanding. He asked his teacher again.

"Then Master, how do you explain about medicinal pills and such? Even though I had eaten some and even saw the teacher directly concoct it, I had no understanding whatsoever of it," Asta asked again.

"Medicine pills and medicinal herbs were the same as Artifacts. The levels are divided into 7 levels. But remember, a concocter can concoct any pill as long as the highest pill is at the level of the compounder. But if more than that then compounding will fail and medicinal ingredients wasted. So does a Forger," Flares explained.

Flares then gave a book containing an understanding of being a Forger. It contained information on materials, basic fire control techniques, and even ways of forging Artifacts of the most basic level.

After reading and understanding the book, Asta asked his teacher for time to try what he learned over the past few days. Asta decided to try to activate his spirit essence and control the light-eating flame even better.

Hearing that Flares did not mind and allowed it. Asta began, a black tattoo appeared covering both hands.

"I don't think it's as easy as it's recorded in the book" he said, a little surprised by the reality compared to what was recorded in the book.

"Consider your concentration and focus on controlling the temperature. Forget the size, don't hold it too much or you'll never be able to control your own power" Flares told him.

"Good Master...!!" Asta obeyed his teacher and began to calm down, releasing the potential of his spirit essence. Instantly, Asta's spirit essence also penetrated out from within his body.

"Akhh-h!!! It turns out that it is good to increase basic mastery to a high level. Akhh...!!!! If at a time when my spirit mastery is reaching a high level only this difficult, then what about those whose basic mastery is still at a low level," said Asta difficulty controlling the temperature of the fire to remain stable.

"Spirit Mastery is only to allow you to use the power of your own Spirit Essence and even create your own spirit techniques. The high mastery of your spirit does not mean that it will have the same effect on fire control. Not all Forgers or Conformers were born with Fire-type Spirit Essences. They made use of the Fire of the Unseen Beasts they could obtain from the Unseen Beasts,"

"Remember this, fire control does not rest on basic mastery but on soul power. The stronger your soul power, the easier it will be to control fire,"

Asta was too scared to hear that. He thought that originally only cultivators born with the Fire Spirit Essence could become Forgers or Concocters. It turns out that's not the case.

"But Asta, at least you're talented enough to be able to control the temperature of light-eating flames all along in the first experiment. Moreover, the True Fire Spirit was no ordinary fire, as the Fire from the True Fire Spirit was the craziest fire and it was difficult to control the heat of the temperature. Now you've taken one step towards the Forging Road," Zaru praised him.

"Ehhh...?!! Is that right..?!!" He listened to the praise and forgot that he was trying to control his spirit. Instantly he lost control and made his spirit dry quickly.

"Ohh, shit," he said quietly before unconsciousness. His Spirit Essence went back to being inactive after he fainted.

"Ahh, it looks like you're regressing again," Zaru said withdrawing his previous remark.

Instantly he was dropped to the ground, he who was still not fully aware was surprised.

"Ohhh...!!!"

Zaru dropped it on the ground and laughed. While Flares shook his head slowly to see their behavior.

"Where is this..? I don't think this is the Valley of Hell. Because I don't feel that emphasis anymore" he asked them while looking around.

"It looks like you've lost your memory. Stay quiet like that I will immediately restore it back," said Zaru.

"How-ever"

"Tuuunggg..!!"

"Hhh..!! I was just kidding but why are you so rude, huh..?!!" Shouted Asta did not accept Zaru who suddenly hit his head with a wooden rod. But Zaru did not respond and continued to laugh.

"We're in the Forest of Moist Land. We are currently heading to Hansu City, where the Tournament will be held in one month" Flares told him.

"So that's it" Asta tried to stand and walk beside the two of them.

"Teacher do you want me to take part in the Martial Arts Tournament? Could anyone without the support of a sect like me follow him..?" Ask Asta.

Flares smiled as well. He thinks Asta is actually a smart and quick-to-understand child. He is also good at seeing situations. It's just that his fondness for jokes that often make it like he does not know anything.

"That's why the teacher decided to leave now. That's because we want to visit the place of one of the teacher's acquaintances first" Flares explained.

Asta nodded his head understanding. He no longer thought about how to participate in the tournament.

If you previously got a book that contained the basic understanding to become a Forger, now the teacher again gave him a book about the basic understanding of Medicinal Compounds. Which turns out according to him these two things although different but have something in common, namely control and creation.

If in the forging process a fire control skill is needed, then when concocting pills it is the same as well. After that, he began to learn more.

After several hours of walking Asta whose gaze was focused on the book fell down after hitting Zaru's back, as the two of them suddenly stopped without a cue. Zaru pulled both horns.

"It looks like we found prey here" Zaru said.

"Hey..!! Can you give me a cue before stopping..? What's going on is, oh shit..!!"
