I, a cultivator, have ended up in the wizarding world.

Chapter 67 Raw Materials

Fortunately, the raw materials that Jemin needs are concepts rather than actual things. As long as it is the "moonlight" in people's minds, he can collect related concepts... but not the white moonlight.

A full moon in the plane of Norn 13 is quite rare, usually only seen once every three months, and today is the perfect time.

At the summit of the plateau, Jieming, bathed in the cool moonlight that seemed to cleanse all things, practiced the special lighting technique he had learned from the Great Dao Library.

The concept of moonlight differs from that of dawn; it lacks explosive power but possesses a calm, restrained quality that seems to permeate everything.

When Jieming touched the moonlight with his divine sense, he felt not an impact, but a gentle embrace.

He patiently guided the true energy, like weaving a soft net, to capture that "tranquil" and "enduring" state of mind.

When Jieming came to his senses, looking at the warm glow deep within his dantian, he did not hesitate and immediately took out a bottle of liquid.

This is rootless pure water, or simply put, dew imbued with spiritual energy.

It was also very simple to make. Jieming directly simulated the environment where dew would condense in the laboratory, and then released his true essence to permeate an area, thus obtaining a lot of materials.

He introduced the concept of moonlight he had captured into the rootless pure water, and then carefully nurtured it with real fire.

Guided by Jemin's thoughts, the concept of moonlight blended into the water like dye, causing it to emit a faint silvery-white halo.

The water droplets seemed to transform into miniature moons, radiating a cool and gentle light—this was "Radiant Dew," a raw material for refining artifacts that embodied the concept of light.

The reason why the Five Aggregates Rainbow Mirror can be made without special furnaces or equipment is because most of the processing is already completed when collecting the raw materials. The five different types of light need to be made into raw materials in different ways.

Fortunately, apart from the concept of light being a bit troublesome, the rest were mostly easy to find; all that was needed was for Jemin to process them again with his own true essence.

Over the course of the night, Jieming successfully condensed four drops of Moonlight Essence Dew, which he carefully stored in a refined gold bottle.

The third concept to be collected is starlight.

The light of stars embodies the concepts of "an anchor in the distance" and "a constant guide".

It represents the constant ray of light that penetrates endless void and points to a specific direction.

The collection should be done on a clear, moonless night, choosing a bright and stable starlight to resonate with.

Everything else is fine, but finding a moonless night with starlight in this world is quite difficult.

For this reason, Jemin traveled to a vast desert in the heart of the continent.

The nights here are free of light pollution; the sky is like black velvet, studded with millions of sparkling gems.

Most importantly, the water element in this area is thin enough that the projection of the water elemental plane cannot be reflected, which meets the requirement of having starlight but no moon.

Under a sky full of stars, he chose a dimensional strategic artifact marked "Titan's Grip" on the map as the primary source of starlight.

These wizard-made artifacts are absolutely stable enough that they are virtually impossible to change unless the wizarding civilization is destroyed.

The most difficult part of capturing the concept of stars is feeling that "distant" and "constant" feeling that transcends infinite distances and remains unchanged through the ages.

This required immense patience. After trying for more than half a month, Jemin finally grasped the knack and felt as if his divine sense had penetrated the entire plane and touched that distant other side.

Once you grasp a concept, it feels like you've grasped a steadfast "coordinate" in your hand.

He channeled it into a pure crystal, carefully refining it with true fire and divine sense. The concept of stars condensed within the crystal into a tiny grain of "light-condensed crystal sand," shimmering with the light of stars.

It lacks the sharpness of morning glow and crystal sand, as well as the gentleness of moonlight and dew; it only has the feeling of a stable "anchor" pointing into the distance.

He spent several moonless nights in the desert and successfully condensed three portions of Starlight Crystal Sand.

The fourth and fifth concepts were collected at the same time.

This time, Jemin specifically chose an area with a unique climate and waited for a whole month during the dry season before finally getting a massive thunderstorm.

The concept of Lightning Strike contains the power of "a fleeting moment" and the "power of tearing," making it the most explosive and dangerous of the five concepts.

It's not like a rumble of thunder in the sky. To capture this concept, you need to get up close to the moment lightning strikes and capture the lingering afterglow of its electric light.

Jemin chose the highest point in the center of the thunderstorm and set up several protective talisman artifacts as a precaution.

As a dazzling purple bolt of lightning struck, tearing through the air with a deafening roar, Jemin almost simultaneously activated his Light-Gathering Technique, instantly probing his divine sense into the fleeting afterglow of the lightning.

It was a pure concept of "outburst" and "destruction," with a power so violent it was uncontrollable.

The moment his consciousness touched him, Jemin felt as if his brain had been struck by an electric current, and a sharp pain shot through him.

With unwavering willpower, he clung to that sliver of a concept and quickly channeled it into a special crystal sensitive to lightning energy.

Click!

The crystal cracked upon impact, but inside, a grain of "photocrystalline sand" shimmering with a dazzling purple-white light stubbornly remained.

It carries a sense of extreme explosiveness and tearing, as if it might explode at any moment.

During the thunderstorm, Jemin repeatedly risked his life to try something.

He was injured in several places by the dissipated lightning energy, and several of his protective talisman artifacts were destroyed.

In the end, he successfully condensed three portions of Rift Lightning Crystal Sand, each carrying a terrifying aura of destruction.

The final rainbow light contains the concepts of "bridge" and "illusion between reality and illusion." Jemin had tried several times before, but only managed to capture a few of the ideas.

After the thunderstorm cleared, an even clearer and more spectacular double rainbow appeared in the sky.

The concept of rainbow light was quickly introduced into the rainwater collected during the thunderstorm, guided by true fire and divine consciousness.

The newly refined "Radiant Dew" radiates a dazzling seven-colored light, resembling a miniature rainbow bridge, and contains a clear sense of "connection" and "illusion".

Thus, in less than a year, Jemin had traveled to several corners of this plane, successfully collecting the five most important light concept materials on mountain peaks at dawn, in moonless deserts, on grasslands after rain, and under raging thunderclouds.

Every successfully refined medium contains a unique brilliance and conceptual essence.

Jemin carefully put away these precious concept materials.

"Next, we will refine the Heart Mirror."

He already possessed the most important "soul" for refining magical artifacts. What he needed to do next was to construct the "bones" and "flesh" that carried these concepts—to condense the embryo of the magical artifact and connect it with his own mind.
