Tier 2 Magic Array

A Green Leopard was more than 3 meters long, and its shoulder height was more than 1.3 meters. It was difficult for cultivators of the same level to kill it in a one-on-one fight. Usually, it would take three or four cultivators to kill the invading beast without getting injured.

Plus, it was only one of the beasts with the lowest strength among the ten thousand races. On the battlefield outside the city, such invading beasts could be seen everywhere!

At that moment, Wu Mo was holding the fur of such a beast.

The surface of the Green Leopard's fur had complex patterns similar to money. It looked oily and slippery, and one could see that it had been preserved quite well.

After examining it for a moment, Wu Mo immediately laid the fur on the workbench. Then, he took out a small knife and began to cut the excess fabric.

As a fast beast, the Green Leopard still retained a lot of energy in its fur.

Wu Mo had taken a fancy to the hidden energy. Once he made the cloak, he planned to insert the Dust-Purifying stone into it and add the magic array that was being refined in the furnace. Then, he would be able to create a satisfactory piece of work.

With a detailed plan in mind, Wu Mo expertly went about his tasks.

In addition, the workbench had the ability to rewind at any time. He only made four wrong attempts before making the cloak intact.

The cloak before him was dark green in color, with veins extending to every inch of its fur. The design was similar to that of an ancient cloak.

There was a circle of fine green fur on the collar of the cloak, which was what Wu Mo had collected from the fur.

At the bottom of the collar, there were two knotted ribbons that could be fixed together so that the cloak did not slip off during battle.

The smooth and soft cloak was long enough to reach the knees.

However, Wu Mo had only forged a semi-finished product at this point. Next, he would need to embed the refined Dust-purifying Stone and cast a magic array.

After that, the cloak would be considered complete.

Wu Mo tilted his head to take a look. Not far away, the furnace was still burning with raging flames. Through the mouth, he could see that the materials jumping in the flames were beginning to show signs of merging.

They were the raw materials used to cast a magic array on the cloak.

At this time, the refining process in the furnace was nearing its end. Seeing this, Wu Mo immediately took the Dust-purifying Stone that had been placed at the side and prepared to mount it on the cloak.

As he was making the cloak earlier, he had purposely added an inlay hole. After all, if he only relied on the Green Leopard fur, it would be impossible to raise the quality of the cloak to Premium grade.

Moreover, the equipment made from the Green Leopard fur only had the effect of increasing speed. Physical defense and special effects could only be achieved by magic arrays and Dust-purifying Stones.

Wu Mo gently pinched the Dust-purifying Stone with his index finger and thumb before he placed it in the cloak's inlay hole.

There were four contacts in the inlay hole, which could continuously divert the energy from the Dust-purifying Stone to every inch of the cloak. Therefore, when Wu Mo pressed the Dust-purifying Stone into it, the inlay hole was activated.

A soft green light began to spread out from the chest of the cloak. In just one breath, the light penetrated every inch of the cloak, causing the surface of the cloak to emit green light, isolating all the dust outside.

Of course, the Dust-purifying Stone that Wu Mo had refined with great difficulty possessed more than these effects. However, these effects would only take shape in the end, and things were still uncertain.

The next thing that needed to be done was to apply the magic array on the cloak and stabilize the energy within before it was considered complete!

Wu Mo immediately approached the furnace. Right then, he saw that the calcined materials inside had already melted into a fist-sized ball of silver liquid. It was floating in the flames, as there were still impurities being expelled from the surface of the liquid.

However, the longer it was calcined, the smaller the volume of the liquid became. It was likely that it was still not ready to be refined until it was pure.

Wu Mo knew that the current temperature in the furnace had reached its peak. It was impossible to purify it completely anyway, so he quickly lowered the temperature.

He pushed the control board lightly, and the next moment, the ball of silver liquid flowed into the groove of the crucible.

The silver liquid was made of five different materials, and the energy contained within was not little.

Wu Mo wore a pair of heat-insulating gloves and brought the small crucible to the workbench, ready to start drawing the magic array.

He picked up the somewhat old casting pen and dipped it lightly into the silver liquid.

As the latter had left a high-temperature environment, it had transformed into a liquid. On top of that, it had a gorgeous color, dyeing the tip of the casting pen silvery-white.

Wu Mo's gaze landed on the cloth of his cloak, and he began to draw a magic array on it.

This time, he was going to cast a type of defensive magic array, which could provide it with a decent defensive ability. It was called the Silver Scale Magic Array, and it was a relatively difficult Tier 2 magic array.

Although Wu Mo had been cramming in his forging knowledge lately, he still did not understand many of the various branches of forging.

He had not grasped all of the ordinary Tier 1 arrays, and Tier 2 arrays were even more difficult.

Just becoming a four-star blacksmith was already very difficult. Even so, at least sixty students in the academy met the standards.

Be that as it may, less than 20 students could draw a Tier 2 array. From this, one could see how difficult the formation was.

Hence, Wu Mo prepared himself thoroughly. He planned to go back hundreds of times and polish his knowledge of the array.

After all, a good blacksmith needed to be extremely proficient in every step. If he only knew a part of it, he would just become an array master or a rough blacksmith.

Wu Mo stood straight beside the workbench. Then, he held a casting brush dipped in the silver liquid and wrote on the green cloak, outlining an extremely complicated array.

The silver traces formed a complex pattern on the cloak, one stroke after another. The surface of the cloak also emanated a layer of silver light. It seemed obscure and difficult to understand.

Every time Wu Mo drew a stroke, he felt a portion of the mental energy in his mind being taken away. By the time more than half of the pattern was completed, the dizziness he felt had become more serious.

In the end, due to Wu Mo's lack of concentration, the next stroke was slanted, and the entire array instantly disappeared. The imbalance of energy caused a few holes to be burned into the cloak.

'Backtrack!' Wu Mo thought to himself before the flame extinguished.

In the next second, an undamaged cloak appeared before him. The silver fluid in the crucible next to it did not decrease in the slightest.

Even Wu Mo's lost mental energy had recovered.

"It seems that it's a little too much for the current me to carve out a Tier 2 magic array!"

Looking at the faint glow of the casting brush in his hand, Wu Mo felt a little frustrated.

When he was drawing the array earlier, he could clearly feel that his mental energy was insufficient. It was not because of his technique, but because of his lack of hardware.
