Chapter 144: Subdue God, Bewilder God_l |
Wu Wan had been busy identifying this pair of white jade bells all this time.
With the help of professional equipment and consulting industry experts, he finally completed all the identification work yesterday.
“As expected, here.”
Chen Mobai took the identification certificate from Wu Wan. When he opened it, he discovered that it was accompanied by more than a dozen sheets of paper.
In addition to the raw materials, refining methods, usage years, and intactness of the white jade bells written on them, they also included the most critical rituals and usage methods.
“This pair of jade bells has different functions, one for Subduing God and one
for Bewildering God.”
“The Subdue God function is more than just suppressing the mind to keep it in the most stable state, it also allows the user to better control the rapidly increasing Divine Sense within a short period.”
“As for Bewilder God, it makes those who hear the bell sound confused and irritated. If a cultivator with a low cultivation level hears it while meditating or cultivating Qi, it could even cause them to lose control and go mad.
After Wu Wan gave a detailed introduction, Chen Mobai couldn’t wait to use the ritual method he had deduced to inject his spiritual power into the white jade bells.
After a simple ritual, he activated the bells’ functions.
Ding! Ding! Ding!
First there was “Bewilder God”. The moment Chen Mobai heard the sound of the bell, he felt a feeling of nausea and dizziness.
“Amazing.”
Keep in mind that although he was only at the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, his Divine Sense was extremely stable, so stable that even Yang Jing’s lethal move could not shake him. Yet just a single magic artifact made him feel overwhelmed.
No wonder cultivators in the Tianhe Realm, no matter how low their cultivation level, equip themselves with a magic artifact.
The gap in combat power between those with and without a magic artifact, especially at the Qi Cultivating Realm, is just too vast.
Ding Dong!
Chen Mobai then activated the “Subdue God” bell. Immediately, both he and Wu Wan recovered from their dizziness. Their spirits were even more robust than before. It was as if they were refreshed after a deep sleep, their spirit was better
than ever.
“Very good, better than I expected.”
After playing with the beautiful and useful white jade bells which he couldn’t put down, Chen Mobai satisfiedly paid Wu Wan the remaining appraisal fee. “Master Wu, I have two more artifacts here that I need to trouble you with.” In the end, Chen Mobai brought out the brass ring and the blue handkerchief with a pattern he picked up from Green Light Island, and gave them to Wu Wan for appraisal.
Faced with these, Wu Wan was initially taken aback, but quickly his face lit up with delight.
This month, just these three contracts alone would earn him as much as he usually made in a quarter. This was because he didn’t work at any major refineries and mainly worked by himself. Before, it was not common for him to get the job of appraising magic artifacts in a month.
He put on gloves and took the blue handkerchief with a pattern from Chen Mobai.
Unfolding the handkerchief, he found a slightly crude brass ring inside.
After looking carefully, the blue handkerchief was not bad, just a Rank-1 intermediate-grade defensive magic artifact. Its power was probably the equivalent of a Wood Armor Talisman, but it could be reused.
If Wu Wan was willing, he could appraise this blue handkerchief on the spot.
However, this brass ring was a bit of a stumper for him.
“This material seems to be red copper mixed with other metals and smelted. Looking at the technique, it should be an ancient forging craftsmanship, not modern elemental blending. It may need to be tested with the particle determination machine at the Red Dawn Institution to determine all material proportions.”
When Wu Wan said this, Chen Mobai was a bit worried.
The origins of this item were a bit off to begin with. If it were taken to the laboratory at the Red Dawn Institution for material element testing, wouldn’t it be possible that the material not found in the Immortal World could be exposed?
“If we don’t test the materials, can we assess the third level and deduce the ritual and usage method of this artifact?”
He asked and Wu Wan was mildly surprised, but since it was the client’s request, he didn’t say much and simply nodded.
“Usually, third-level assessment requires a material ratio report, but if you don’t care about it, I won’t pry any further. Compared to this, the ritual and usage method is relatively straightforward.
“Then that’s settled. I’m in a hurry to use these two artifacts, how soon can you finish the appraisal?”
“Let’s say ten days. This handkerchief is not challenging, and there’s only one ring. It will definitely be faster than the white jade bells.”
Hearing Wu Wan’s confident words, Chen Mobai nodded and directly sent the deposit to him.
“I’ll go print the contract at the school gate. I didn’t expect to pick up two more jobs coming over here, and I didn’t prepare.
Wu Wan first drafted an electronic version and let Chen Mobai check if there were any issues. Initially, Chen Mobai thought about not signing a contract since he was a bit concerned about leaving traces of artifacts from the Tianhe Realm here in the Immortal World.
But after careful consideration, with a plethora of cultivators filled with strange ideas in the Immortal World and countless strange artifacts made for gaining attention on video websites, he just presented three normal artifacts. There’s no need to be so apprehensive.
Moreover, if he didn’t sign a contract with Wu Wan, given his shrewd nature, he could guess that there’s something wrong with the origins of these artifacts.
It’s better to follow the regular process.
It avoids any suspicion.
After signing the contract, they called Luan Jingsheng over and the three of them had dinner together.
After that, Chen Mobai returned to his cave dwelling and focused on transferring to the Pure Yang Scroll and drawing symbols.
The blue handkerchief was quickly appraised, and as expected, it was for defense. It didn’t even need a special ritual or method of use, just inject the spiritual power, and it would turn into a blue square shield.
The area depended on the user’s spiritual power, at its maximum, it could cover the entire person.
But the brass ring was a bit troublesome. Wu Wan underestimated this artifact, and it wasn’t until a half-month later, with dark circles under his eyes, that he completed the third-tier appraisal.
This was an artifact for condensing Sword Qi, quite suitable for cultivators with Gold Attribute Spirit Power. After injecting spiritual power in a specific way, it would emit a fierce Sword Light.
Chen Mobai gave it a try and its power was equivalent to a Rank-1 high-grade Red Flame Sword Card.
However, it consumed a fair amount of spiritual power. With his realm, he could only activate it seven times at most.
“Although I haven’t tested it, I feel that the maximum limit of this ring should be nine swords in a row. It’s even possible that like the Three Swords Card you used during the Magic Duel, once the nine Sword Lights come out together, they can form a subtle change, triggering a more powerful Sword Qi.” Wu Wan wrote everything he had appraised on the certification, and after Chen Mobai read it, he couldn’t help but admire his professionalism..
