Although he insisted on his point of view in front of his brothers, seeing that Huang Xu was not interested in it, and even quite disgusted, Huang Chang did not continue to fiddle with this thing. However, he didn't intend to give up - this white bone artifact looked terrifying, but in fact it was not low in quality, and there were many mysteries in it, and even better, because he was half-destroyed, many key things were exposed, which was suitable for research.

On the one hand, Huang Chang wanted to try to repair it, and on the other hand, he also wanted to use it to attack the scope of magic weapon making. This thing was snatched after all, even if it was completely destroyed, it would not be distressed, even in the Kunlun Mountain Tiangong Hall, beginners may not have such an opportunity to directly use a finished product to practice for apprentices.

So after that, he just avoided others and quietly hid in the house alone to study. And Huang Xu also knew what he was doing, so he would deliberately avoid it. As for Huang Zhao, that little girl has a big mouth, so there is really no need for her to know. Fortunately, Huang Zhao is young after all, and it is easy to coax. Huang Chang set up a warning circle in the courtyard to prevent her from suddenly breaking in.

............

Half a month later, a dark and windy night. In a remote barren valley somewhere outside the city of Baonan.

Huang Chang and Yao Xiu sat facing each other, and between the two of them was a refining array that was more common on Kunlun Mountain. In the middle of the formation, there was the white bone cane, and a few gray-white bones: the remains of monk Yuan Fifteen—he was starting to really get his hands dirty, trying to repair the artifact.

Before taking action, Huang Chang took out another piece of jade slip, and once again confirmed the method and steps recorded in it with his divine soul induction - after half a month of painstaking study, the simulation and calculation work he carried out on paper was basically completed, and the results were recorded in this jade slip. At this time, "review" again in case something is missed.

Then, the official start of the battle...... As the magic tricks in Huang Chang's hand entered the formation, the refining magic array began to operate. Because it is a bone artifact, the attribute is a necromantic yin ghost, and the core of this circle is driven by the netherworld qi. And deliberately chose to start at this midnight, when everything is silent. I saw a small whirlwind whirling in it, and there was a faint sound of screaming and crying, which looked as if there was a ghost haunting it, which was really scary.

- It is not for nothing that monks who practice the way of yin and ghosts are often regarded as demons. If this scene is seen by mortals outside, it will be a proper demon cultivation weapon! Therefore, Huang Changcai specially found a deserted and uninhabited valley and secretly did it in the middle of the night.

However, as the refining circle continued to operate, those uncomfortable and terrifying scenes gradually disappeared, and the magic circle began to enter its normal working state: I saw that the bone staff slowly rotated in the array, and the bones that were used as repair materials next to it shattered and weathered one by one, turning into something similar to rotten silt, but a small amount of glowing fluorescent substance, like powder-like essence, was also separated from it, and slowly adsorbed onto the bone staff, and began to make up for the cracks and damages on it.

"That's right, the refining array handed down by the Heavenly Master Hall is really able to repair this artifact, I heard that there was a Yuan clan in the Heavenly Corpse Dao back then, and it used to be a relatively large family, and I am afraid that it has something to do with the ancestor of this Yuan Fifteen Lang......"

Huang Chang muttered silently in his heart, so when it comes to cultivating immortals, "seeing and knowing" is really a very important quality - the reason why he was able to find the clue to repair this artifact so quickly and know where to start was that according to the other party's surname, he boldly guessed that the refining technique used by the Yuan family should also be passed down from the Heavenly Corpse Dao sect back then.

Try it at this time, and it really is.

The first attempt was successful, but when it came time to move on to the second step, Huang Chang encountered some setbacks.

——After some basic repairs were completed and some of the quality of this magic weapon was restored, Huang Chang reached into the magic circle again, wanting to grasp the bone staff, but felt a faint repulsion coming from his hand. And what was even more surprising was that when he tried to control this magic weapon with the monk's divine sense, there was a slight pain in his mind, and there was a gloom, frustration, pain, and helplessness...... In short, it was mixed with all kinds of negative emotions, but the rather powerful divine sense induction rushed backwards into his mind.

"Wow......!"

Huang Chang suddenly heard a phantom sound in his ears, and an illusion appeared in front of him: a terrifying dead face was flying towards him. The mouth was wide open, and the face was a little similar to the killed Yuan Fifteen...... In other words, it is a collection of the physiognomy characteristics of the members of that family.

At the same time, the bone staff in his hand also changed suddenly, and without the control of the master, several bone blades and bone spurs popped out on its own, scarring his hand like a thorn. And the tip of the bone staff turned into a sharp spear tip, if Huang Chang's concentration was a little worse, and if he waved it indiscriminately, it was possible to miss and hurt himself.

If it was an ordinary monk, it would be inevitable to panic in this situation, but Huang Chang's most powerful thing was his spiritual power, coupled with some preparations in his heart, even if he encountered a sudden change, he never wavered.

- I saw his eyes fixed, a soft smack in his mouth, and at the same time a hard squeeze of his hand, the white bone staff suddenly creaked, and a wail could be faintly heard in the soul. Then the bone staff was honest, but it no longer responded to his divine manipulation, like an ordinary artifact, which could no longer be changed.

“...... Sure enough, it's the Yuan family's bloodline lock!"

Huang Chang raised his hand and patted the staff, but the thing didn't react, and it couldn't even do the function that could be transformed into various weapons before—this thing was very badly damaged before, and the restrictions in it were also weakened. But at that time, it could only change shape, and there was no corresponding mana effect, so it was just used as a bone knife and bone gun, which was not as good as an ordinary steel weapon.

But if it is repaired and restored to the effect of the magic weapon, it will be like it is now, as its quality slowly recovers, and the corresponding bloodline restriction is also restored. From a certain point of view, this magic weapon can be regarded as having "spirituality", but this spirituality is forcibly added and can never be improved.

Huang Chang estimated that when making this white bone staff, he must have used the same cruel methods as making Horcruxes, and most of the victims were more than one person, and they had to use the body of a real monk, otherwise they would not be able to refine such a powerful magic weapon.

It was hard for him to imagine the reason why the Yuan family at that time was willing to sacrifice several immortal cultivators to make such an artifact - the first group of sacrifices would definitely not be dead people, because only living sacrifices could achieve this effect.
