Chapter 80

In the bedroom attic.

Sunlight streamed in through the window, falling on Li Luo. At this moment, he held a jade slip in his hand, pressing it against his forehead, eyes slightly closed, as he perused the vast information contained within.

The information recorded in this jade slip was precisely the "Little Non-Phase Divine Forging Technique" left by Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan.

After a long while, Li Luo opened his eyes, stretched out his fingers to rub his forehead. Although he felt somewhat mentally exhausted, his eyes were filled with excitement.

After all, Li Luo had been looking forward to planning the second postnatal phase for a long time.

With this true contact with the "Little Non-Phase Divine Forging Technique," Li Luo finally understood how complicated it was to forge a postnatal phase.

The "Little Non-Phase Divine Forging Technique" essentially involves extracting the required energy or substance from countless materials in the world. For example, if one wants to forge a postnatal fire phase, one needs to find various materials containing fire energy, refine them using specific methods, and extract the energy. Finally, the energy must be balanced, and one's soul and essence blood used as a catalyst to form a qualified postnatal phase.

The most troublesome part of this process is the constant search for countless materials and the testing of their compatibility until a certain balance is achieved.

In a sense, this is a technical job, but also a labor-intensive one.

So, after reading the "Little Non-Phase Divine Forging Technique," Li Luo knew that a significant portion of his future would be spent on this.

The only good news was that at the back of the jade slip, Li Luo saw some notes left by Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan. These notes recorded their previous attempts, which were undoubtedly valuable experience that could save Li Luo a lot of precious time in the early stages.

Most importantly, he saw a tip left by Li Taixuan and Dantai Lan, suggesting that his second postnatal phase should be of the wood element.

The reason for this choice was due to the essence blood and lifespan Li Luo had lost when forging his first postnatal phase. Although the power of the water and light phases would gradually make up for these losses, for safety, the main element of the second postnatal phase should be wood.

The power of the wood phase not only has restorative effects but also has some detoxifying properties, which would enhance Li Luo's survival. With the triple healing effects of the water, light, and wood phases, the losses Li Luo had previously suffered should not affect his foundation.

"Wood phase, huh..."

Li Luo fell into deep thought. Originally, he had planned for his second postnatal phase to be more offensive, but now that his parents recommended the wood phase, he would have to adjust his plans.

After thinking for a moment, Li Luo realized that with his improved phase technique, the water and light phases were not weak in terms of offense. Therefore, making the main element of the second postnatal phase wood was not a bad idea.

Moreover, wood phase techniques are mostly control-based, and he could develop this aspect further in the future. When fighting, he could first control his opponent and then shoot them full of arrows.

However, this might seem a bit uncool and could make him appear like a sadistic torturer...

But it didn't matter. His handsome face had already reached its peak, and he didn't need this aspect to enhance it.

Thus, Li Luo made his decision, forming a hand seal with one hand and using phase power to activate it, then touching the jade slip.

Buzz!

A beam of light emerged from the jade slip, quickly falling and expanding in the wind, eventually forming a hexagonal light wheel about a foot in size.

On the light wheel, there were many holes. A rough count revealed a total of 128 holes, 86 on one side and 42 on the other.

The majority were on one side, and the minority on the other.

At the center of the wheel was a concave pit outlined with intricate patterns.

This was the "Little Non-Phase Divine Wheel."

It was an auxiliary tool used to forge postnatal phases. This item was quite difficult to forge, and with Li Luo's current strength, he couldn't do it. Fortunately, his parents had thoughtfully left him one.

In the future, if he wanted to forge his second postnatal phase, he would need to refine and purify various materials using special methods and fill the holes in the Little Non-Phase Divine Wheel. He would need to balance the main and auxiliary elements on both sides of the wheel, then inject his soul and essence blood to complete the fusion.

Li Luo stared at the hexagonal light wheel for a long time, then raised the jade slip and put it away.

If the main element was wood, what about the secondary element? How should he choose it?

Li Luo sat in front of the tea table, lost in thought.

The scorching sunlight shining through the window gradually shifted, eventually turning into a dark red sunset.

Li Luo finally exhaled, then casually picked up a pen from the tea table and wrote two words on the white paper in front of him.

Wood.

Earth.

These were the attributes he had decided for his second postnatal phase: wood as the main element and earth as the secondary element.

Wood and Earth Phase!

Since the strength of the wood phase lies in control, he would take it to the extreme. The best auxiliary element for the wood phase is undoubtedly the earth phase.

The power of the wood phase and the earth phase would reinforce each other, enhancing the control effect.

Moreover, the water phase and the light phase also complement the wood phase well.

The power of the earth phase is good for defense, which would enhance Li Luo's survival ability...

For these reasons, Li Luo decided on the attributes of his second postnatal phase.

With his decision made, Li Luo did not hesitate, got up, and left the room. He found Cai Wei in the old house and presented his requirements.

"Does the young master need various materials containing wood and earth energy?" Cai Wei found Li Luo's request a bit strange but agreed after some thought.

"There are some stocks in the old house's warehouse. I will take them out for you. If they are not enough, I will arrange for people to buy more from the market."

Although these materials were quite valuable, the income of Xiyang House had steadily increased, reducing the pressure on Cai Wei. She no longer had to stretch every coin as far as possible.

"Thanks, Cai Wei." Li Luo smiled and waved, then turned and left, not wanting to disturb Cai Wei's work.

Cai Wei watched Li Luo's departing figure with a smile, feeling that his mood seemed quite good today.

She carefully put away the ledger and personally went to handle Li Luo's request.

Thanks to Cai Wei's astonishing efficiency, the first batch of materials was delivered to Li Luo's room within two hours.

In the attic.

Li Luo took a green plant from a jade box. The plant had green leaves and flowers that resembled wind chimes.

This was the Wood Bell Flower, a rare flower containing wood element energy.

Li Luo silently recited the incantation of the Little Non-Phase Divine Forging Technique, forming a hand seal and activating his phase power.

Sizzle!

A moment later, a thumb-thick flame formed in his palm. The flame was very special, almost transparent, as if it contained no energy.

"Is this the Little Non-Phase Fire?"

Li Luo's eyes were filled with curiosity. This flame was the core of the Little Non-Phase Divine Forging Technique. Only materials refined by this fire could be used to forge postnatal phases.

However, Li Luo's phase power was too weak, so the Little Non-Phase Fire he produced was only a thin thread.

"Ah, I'll have to make do with it."

Li Luo shook his head helplessly, then picked a Wood Bell Flower and used the Little Non-Phase Fire to ignite and refine it.

However, on his first attempt, Li Luo failed to control the heat, and the flower was burned to ashes.

No problem, failure is the mother of success.

The second, third, and fourth flowers were all burned to ashes.

"Is it really that difficult?" Li Luo was a bit stunned but had no choice but to treat it as a learning experience and continue with another material.

After burning several materials, Li Luo finally got a feel for it and successfully refined a rare herb containing earth element energy.

It was a brown liquid, which Li Luo placed in the first hole on one side of the hexagonal light wheel. Immediately, the hole lit up, and a fine light beam extended to connect with another hole.

Seeing this, Li Luo was overjoyed and tried another material, placing the refined product in the connected hole.

However, as soon as the second energy liquid was placed, the hexagonal light wheel vibrated slightly, as if trying to reject the material.

This was a rejection reaction.

Li Luo quickly removed the material, indicating that it was not suitable for forging the postnatal phase.

Li Luo then tried several more materials, finally finding one that was not rejected and filling the connected hole.

With the second hole filled, another light beam extended to connect with the third hole...

Clearly, when all the holes on the hexagonal light wheel were filled and the main and auxiliary sides were balanced, the forging of the second postnatal phase would be complete.

However, by the time Li Luo had exhausted his phase power, he had only filled four holes on the hexagonal light wheel.

This was clearly a very time-consuming process.

But Li Luo was not in a hurry. After all, he still had some time before reaching the Phase Master realm, and he had plenty of time to try various materials and perfect the hexagonal light wheel.

And when that day came, it would be the birth of his second postnatal phase, the Wood and Earth Phase.

Li Luo was very much looking forward to it.
