The repair of a Horcrux is very different from refining. Sometimes, repairing a Horcrux is even more difficult than refining a Horcrux of the same grade.
As for the repair of Horcruxes, to be honest, Bai Yunfei hasn't practiced much, because he has rarely had Horcruxes that need to be repaired - he has too much equipment to use up, and he usually has earth-level Horcruxes. It is used as a consumable item. If it breaks, it will break. You will always have to work hard to repair it.
But this time, he had to take the problem of repairing the Horcrux seriously, because what needed to be repaired this time was an extremely powerful heaven-level Horcrux.
Speaking of equipment damage and repair, we have to talk about its impact on 'equipment attributes'.
It has been mentioned before: Under normal circumstances, after the equipment is damaged, its basic attributes will not change. For example, the attack power of a sword is 100. After being broken into two parts, the attack power of each part is still 100, because in fact Its sharpness has not changed. At most, the attack power may be affected a little because one part has no sword tip. The same is true for defensive equipment. What is the defensive power of a shield? After it is broken in half, each part is still so strong. .
Of course, the above is just ordinary 'damage'. If it turns into powder like after the equipment is strengthened and damaged, the situation will naturally be different.
In addition, there are additional effects after the equipment is strengthened to +10. After the equipment is damaged, the additional effects will only appear on part of it, and the rest will be in a special 'no +10 additional effect' state.
On the other hand, Bai Yunfei also experimented by first breaking a piece of equipment into two pieces, which can actually be said to be "two pieces of equipment", and then using strengthening techniques to strengthen each piece to +10, so that both parts have their own characteristics. Additional effects, and then try to 'repair' it, that is, recombine the two parts into one piece of equipment. However, the result of this is: after the repair is successful, one of the additional effects will disappear, leaving only one.
And, most importantly, 'repair' in this case is dozens of times more difficult than normal!
Therefore, when repairing the soul-eating chain this time, Bai Yunfei did not rush to strengthen the two chains separately. He planned to wait for the repair before strengthening the complete equipment.
…
Looking at the soul-eating chain in his hand, Bai Yunfei looked at it carefully. His soul power penetrated into it and analyzed its structure, especially the fractures, not sparing every detail.
"This chain... is a bit strange..."
Now observing the chain carefully, Bai Yunfei's eyes gradually became filled with doubts. He felt that this Horcrux was different from the many Horcruxes he had come into contact with.
how to say? It seems... it's a difference in 'breath'.
Maybe it's because this Horcrux has a rare "dark attribute", but Bai Yunfei has never seen dark equipment before. Dark Horcruxes can give people a "cold" feeling, and this chain gives him The feeling is not a simple 'cold' feeling, but...
"Killing breath?!"
After thinking for a moment, Bai Yunfei's eyes suddenly brightened, and he finally found a suitable adjective - yes, from this chain, he felt an extremely unusual 'slaughter breath'!
It's as if this chain has taken away the lives of countless people, causing resentment to linger around it. Just a simple contact makes people feel a little uncomfortable, and even when the soul consciousness penetrates into it, there will be a kind of feeling. A faint thought of killing came. If it were an ordinary person, this thought alone would be enough to make him go crazy.
What's also strange is that when Bai Yunfei used his soul to 'scan' the chain inch by inch, he found that there was a 'special feature' in each chain: it didn't seem to be completely 'solid' inside. Instead, there is a hint of '**', flowing slowly along a 'pipe' as thin as hair.
This was the first time he saw such a situation, and he couldn't help but be surprised.
"What is this thing? What does it do?" Bai Yunfei was confused, and suddenly raised his eyebrows, thinking of a small detail he accidentally noticed the moment he broke the chain while fighting Na Wushang last night. …
"I remember that time..." After carefully recalling it for a moment, his eyes lit up and he said in disbelief, "Could this be... blood?!"
"Is it possible? Isn't this too strange?" Bai Yunfei shook his head uncertainly and murmured to himself, "What is the blood inside the Horcrux doing? Or is it actually something I don't understand?" Do you know any special materials?"
After frowning and thinking for a while, he sighed softly and said to himself: "Oh, forget it, maybe it's just a rare material. You can't break off another piece to study it, otherwise the Horcrux will be completely destroyed. It’s not worth it... Let’s repair it first. If it can’t be repaired, then just use it for research.”
…
After making a decision, Bai Yunfei waved his right hand to release the Heaven-shaking Seal, then took out the No. 1 Fire Seed, replaced the No. 2 Fire Seed with the accompanying Thunder Seed in the body, and threw it into the Thunder Fire Cauldron.
"Bang!!"
The moment the fire submerged, the Thunder Fire Cauldron emitted a bright light, and a raging flame shot straight to the top of the cave, and the temperature of the entire refining cave increased sharply.
With his left hand, he lightly touched the purple soul ring, and various auxiliary materials for repairing the soul weapon floated in front of him. Bai Yunfei carefully counted and confirmed them, and then threw them into the weapon refining cauldron.
The preparation work alone took more than an hour. After that, he felt that the time was almost up, so he threw the two chains into the blazing fire with a solemn expression.
"Pah! Pah..."
A slight explosion came from the cauldron, but some auxiliary materials collapsed during the repair process and turned into black charcoal.
Bai Yunfei frowned, waved his hand, and threw out a large amount of materials, including some rare concentrated ores, and even an extremely precious dark element stone. Then, activated by his soul power, the refining fire in the cauldron became more intense. A little more vigorous.
Time passed little by little, and even when Zheng Kai, Tang Xinyun and others came to ask him to have dinner together at noon, they were stopped by Xiao Qi who was guarding outside the cave. When everyone heard that he was refining weapons, they did not disturb him.
From morning to noon, then to afternoon, until almost evening...
"Tsk!! Still not working? Sure enough... repairing heaven-level soul weapons is still too difficult for me!"
Bai Yunfei looked at the refining cauldron in front of him and sighed helplessly, with a wry smile on his lips. There was even sweat on the tip of his nose at this moment. Even with a set of spiritual jewelry and the recovery help of the Yunhun Ring, There was not much soul power left in his body, and he had tried every possible method, but still failed.
In the refining cauldron, in the refining fire, the two chains have actually been connected together again, and even the gap at the connection port cannot be seen, but Bai Yunfei knows that as soon as the refining fire is extinguished, the chain will break again , even if it is forcibly stabilized, there is no way to 'use' it, and most of the soul power will be broken again as soon as it is used.
"It was obviously going smoothly before, but why...why can't we integrate perfectly? I always feel like something is missing..."
Bai Yunfei thought hard in his heart, and he was really unwilling to give up just like that, especially in this situation where he clearly thought he could succeed.
"What's missing, what's missing..." Wei Wei gritted his teeth, his eyes flashing continuously. When a drop of sweat dripped from the tip of his hair and crossed his eyes, his eyes suddenly brightened!
"That's right!! Could it be..."
