Each face of the rune looks different, which is simple to achieve.

According to the information from the Fish Bone, this should be enough, but since it's about creating a counterfeit, it must resemble the original as closely as possible.

Sixty-four faces, if viewed in different sequences, will ultimately yield different information.

Yu Ziqing silently calculated, considering how many possibilities there are for arranging the sixty-four faces. Even if the viewing order must be adjacent, forming a line across the sixty-four-sided form eliminates most possibilities.

Halfway through the calculation, Yu Ziqing gave up on the idea of imitating the original as closely as possible.

It's still an astronomical number...

Yu Ziqing stroked his chin, pondering deeply, even with the original in hand, after viewing it once, he still couldn't understand the information obtained.

So, why bother caring whether the final manifestation makes any sense?

After all, it's incomprehensible; just set it so that after viewing all sixty-four faces, it randomly generates gibberish.

Thinking this way, the difficulty level plummets.

A proper replica can't be done, as the sixty-four-sided form is too advanced, and even the best Yang can boast is several levels below it.

Still, Yu Ziqing always feels that even a fake should have class; the ideal state is for the fake to be better than the real thing.

No matter who sees it, they will naturally think the counterfeit is the real one.

The next best level is for the difficulty to match the real one; otherwise, it would appear too fake to the informed.

You can't expect something to be completely unrecognized by experts, right?

Yu Ziqing invested immense enthusiasm, immediately going for high-end products, calculating until his brain hurt, and even using the genuine item as a reference.

His Dayan Preface was slowly advancing under pressure, getting closer to the Advanced stage.

Within just a few days, the initial, lowest-quality version of the sixty-four-sided crystal counterfeit was successfully crafted.

From any face, there is a completely different rune inside, with no apparent meaning.

The aura can't compare to the original, but at first glance, it's indeed convincing.

Yu Ziqing casually put this away, not planning to use it to fool anyone.

This piece is simply to test the overall framework, proving this path is viable, and the later process will be about slowly refining the final product.

It's like coding; later, a simple random program needs to be added inside.

A month later, Yu Ziqing looked at the two sixty-four-sided crystals on the table, both identical in appearance.

For durability, these crystals were re-refined with suitable materials. To avoid revealing any flaws, no Secret Technique or Artifact Refining Dharma Method was used to reinforce them.

Instead, he found a ritual with reinforcement effects to solidify them, making them unlikely to break easily.

Yu Ziqing picked up the genuine article, viewed the sixty-four faces in a random sequence, and obtained a sentence.

"Truth and falsehood follow, neither one is unique."

Yu Ziqing pondered this, feeling it wasn't a bad omen.

This was one of the uses he discovered; the sixty-four faces, all identical, without deliberate effort, he wouldn't know which route he'd viewed before.

When viewing, just focus on a few faces near one face, and naturally, the sixty-four faces will be completed.

The final sentence seen then is somewhat like divination.

It's a vague prediction of what he's currently doing.

Yu Ziqing took out the counterfeit, viewed it again, and combined the information obtained, resulting in nonsensical gibberish.

"Ju Yue Gun You, Ya Zhong Zhi Ou."

Yu Ziqing tried twice again, grinning broadly.

"Very good, the more useless it is, the more gibberish, the better it is if it's incomprehensible."

When the two are placed together, they look identical, even the color codes are meticulously adjusted; now it just lacks a bit, that feeling.

That feeling where even though it seems to have no power, there's always a sense that this thing is very high-end.

After much consideration, Yu Ziqing put away the previous counterfeit versions and selected the two best pieces from the current final version to go to Jinlan Mountain's southeastern corner.

Yu Ziqing squatted in front of Juice, fiddling with the two sixty-four-sided crystals.

"Juice, do me a favor and enchant them."

"Hmm, just add something that serves no purpose, with no special effects.

As long as it has a very mysterious feel.

I don't think anyone is better at this than you.

Once done, and no one comes to trouble us, I can have some peace for a while."

The wonders of Juice aren't demonstrated in direct combat; even if it could create a genuine product, Juice probably couldn't do it yet.

But when it comes to playing tricks, Yu Ziqing guesses no one in the world could see through the illusion.

Just like anyone who has seen the illusory world or the illusory river Juice displays wouldn't dare say it's just an entirely non-mystical illusion.

Yet, it indeed only has an extremely mysterious feel without any real existence.

This surely matches the expertise.

"Hahaha..."

Yu Ziqing dug two small pits next to Juice, buried the two counterfeits, and now, all that's needed is to wait.

Juice showed no reaction, and Yu Ziqing turned to look at Snake Willow.

Snake Willow, with a bunch of mouths, smacked its lips without knowing who it learned from.

Yu Ziqing rolled his eyes, took out some giant shark meat to feed Snake Willow, and fed all the other Magic Plants as well.
