Chapter 81: Indefinite
Although this courtyard is not big and simple, it also has three houses and a small courtyard in the vestibule, although it has been empty, but it is very clean inside, obviously someone is often cleaning, and when he walked into the room, Zhao Yuanbai asked a little eagerly.
"Fatty, do you have a formation that can hide your breath or movement?"
"Hmm...... I remember that there happened to be a set of third-grade mortal-level 'masking arrays' array disks, what are you going to do, are you going to verify that iron block?" Mo Xiaoqi asked suspiciously as he took out three array disks from his bracers.
"What is the effect of this mortal-level three-grade masking array?" Zhao Yuanbai asked again.
"Although this is just a pseudo-array arranged with a formation disk, as long as you don't take action to demolish this courtyard, or if someone with strong soul power is paying close attention to this place, what the people who are basically in the formation are doing will not be noticed by outsiders. For this, Mo Xiaoqi seems very confident.
"Yuan Bai, how can you verify that this piece of iron will move very much?" Mu Yang also came up and asked.
"There shouldn't be much movement, but I'm not entirely sure, so it's better to be cautious. Zhao Yuanbai frowned and said in a tone of not quite sure.
Mu Yang deeply agreed with this view, he nodded and said, "You're right! Xiaoqi, then please bury this masking array disk, if there is anything that needs to use this array in the future, you can activate the formation at any time." ”
"Yes, no problem! I can handle this little thing casually, master. ”
Mo Xiaoqi smiled proudly, walked out of the room and buried three array disks inlaid with lower grade yuan stones into the soil according to a specific position in front of the door and behind the house, and did a good job of camouflage, so that outsiders could not see the existence of the array disks here.
Waiting for Mo Xiaoqi's micro-luck vitality to shake away the soil stained on his hands, and clapping his hands into the room, Mu Yang suddenly thought of a question, so he asked, "Xiaoqi, how long can this masking array last?"
"Well, although this Concealment Array is a mortal-level three-grade, but the consumption is very small, if it continues to be opened, the three lower-grade Yuan Stones can last for half a day, alas, if it is arranged by the formation mage, a lower-grade Yuan Stone can last at least two days. Xiaobai, is half a day enough?" After answering Muyang's words, Mo Xiaoqi asked Zhao Yuanbai again.
"That's enough, if nothing else, at most one cup of tea can be done. Zhao Yuanbai nodded affirmatively.
As Mo Xiaoqi used his soul power to activate the masking array, Zhao Yuanbai sat cross-legged on the ground, put the iron block on his left hand and stared at it for a while, then adjusted his state and closed his eyes, and used his soul power to wrap the iron block.
Mu Yang and Mo Xiaoqi in the room were afraid of disturbing him, so they didn't even dare to breathe, and stood quietly and stared, so that if something unexpected happened, they could go up to help at any time.
After a while, the iron in Zhao Yuanbai's hand really changed slightly, and began to shake slightly, and at the same time made a slight buzzing sound, as the amplitude of the iron shaking and the buzzing sound gradually increased, there was an inexplicable fluctuation that suddenly emanated from the iron, forming a circle that spread outward like ripples on the surface of the lake.
In an instant, Zhao Yuanbai suddenly opened his eyes, used the thumb of his right hand to make a small cut on his index finger, and at the same time used his bleeding index finger to quickly press on the iron block, according to a certain rule, and at the same time he shouted, and the soul power in his body frantically surged to the iron in his hand.
"Buzz ......"
The beeping sound instantly increased several times, and it sounded a little harsh, and the surface of the black iron block seemed to have turned into water, and began to flow rapidly, and at the same time, there were ripples that kept emitting outward, and in the process, Zhao Yuanbai's face became pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, obviously the soul power was being consumed sharply.
Sure enough, in less than a cup of tea, the iron suddenly stopped fluctuating, and the black surface began to disappear rapidly like a receding tide, and then, a dazzling purple light burst out from it, accompanied by a wave of extremely mysterious fluctuations.
Fortunately, this fluctuation was not strong, and the effect of the Concealment Array could still be covered, and after the light dissipated, the black iron block in Zhao Yuanbai's hand turned into a jade talisman with a purple body and exquisite patterns, and the word "Wuding" was engraved in the middle.
"Huh......" Zhao Yuanbai breathed a long sigh of relief, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face: "I really guessed correctly, this iron piece is a talisman that was hidden by the talisman master with a special technique!"
"The hidden talisman !!" Mu Yang and Mo Xiaoqi exclaimed in unison.
"Yes, this is a talisman, and it's not an ordinary talisman! Fortunately, I saw it in the jade slip that my father left me about the way of the talisman, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to see that this was a talisman, and if I didn't understand the special techniques of the talisman, I would definitely not be able to unlock this secret method of hiding the talisman. ”
Shaking his dizzy head, Zhao Yuanbai struggled to get up from the ground, but before he could stand firmly, he stumbled slightly, so frightened that Mu Yang hurriedly supported him: "Yuanbai, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. It's just that the soul power consumption is a bit large just now, and it's okay to take a rest. By the way, the fat man, withdraw the masking array, there is no problem now. ”
Zhao Yuanbai waved his hand, signaling Muyang that they don't have to worry, Mo Xiaoqi also hurriedly withdrew his soul power and closed the formation, and the two of them helped Zhao Yuanbai to a chair in the house and sat down, calmed down a little, and Zhao Yuanbai explained to the two.
Each talisman will carry some different talismans on their bodies, but not every talisman master has a storage spirit weapon, and these talismans are painstakingly refined by the talismans, even the lowest-grade talismans are worth a lot of money.
Therefore, when the talismans walked on the mainland, in order to avoid provoking the covetousness of others, they would use a special secret method that only the talismans could understand to hide the talismans, so that they would look like an ordinary item, which would reduce a lot of unnecessary trouble.
However, a real talisman can actually easily solve this secret method at hand, and the reason why Zhao Yuanbai was so struggling just now was because he had not really become a talisman yet, and although he knew the secret method, it was only at the half-baked level, so it would consume so much.
As for the purple jade talisman in front of him, it is called the Amorphous Talisman, which is one of the shifting talismans that have the effect of teleporting people from one place to another out of thin air, and each of them is at least a grade above the third grade of the treasure level.
However, even if it is the lowest-level moving talisman, the straight-line distance that can be teleported is at least more than 100 miles, but the spiritual materials and refining difficulty required for the moving talisman are several times higher than that of ordinary talismans, so ordinary talismans will only refine one or two pieces.
This amorphous talisman is considered to be the easiest to refine in the shifting talisman, but it also has a disadvantage, that is, once used, even the user does not know where it will be moved, it is possible in any direction, east, west, north and south, and the location is completely random.
If you move to a safe place, it will be fine, but if you are unfortunate enough to be moved to the lair of a high-level desolate beast, then it will be a lot of fun, so the talismans usually use this uncertain talisman to save their lives when they encounter a life-threatening moment.
Of course, there are also moving talismans that can specify the direction or even the designated location, but they are at least spirit-level talismans, not to mention that only the spirit rune master can refine them, and the spiritual materials required for refining alone require a large amount of yuan stones.
Mo Xiaoqi, who had been sticking out his head to stare at the jade talisman carefully, showed an expression of a wealth fan and asked, "Xiaobai, how many treasures is this indefinite talisman in your hand?"
Looking at the jade talisman in his hand repeatedly, Zhao Yuanbai frowned and replied: "I'm not sure about this, but what I can be sure of is that this amorphous talisman is at least a treasure-level five-grade or above, but I found that it has been used by people." ”
"It's been used! Isn't that already a useless scrap talisman? Mo Xiaoqi stared at his eyes and exclaimed, his tone full of disappointment.
"Don't be there, what kind of talisman have you ever seen that can still exist after it becomes a waste talisman!" Zhao Yuanbai glanced at Mo Xiaoqi with disgust.
"Then you said that this talisman was used...... Hey, could it be ......" Mo Xiaoqi, who wanted to say a word in return, suddenly thought of a possibility, and the disappointed expression on his face immediately became pleasantly surprised.
"That's right, although most of the talismans can only be used once, there are a few types of talismans that can be used multiple times due to different refining techniques, and there are shifting talismans. I can sense that this amorphous talisman should be used twice, but it is said that the value of the used talisman will be much lower, and I don't know how many yuan stones it can be sold. ”
After thinking for a while, Zhao Yuanbai handed the amorphous talisman to Mu Yang, and he planned to let Mu Yang decide whether to sell it or keep it first.
However, Mu Yang didn't take it, he thought that Zhao Yuanbai would have to practice the talisman sooner or later, just leaving this talisman so that he could figure it out from time to time, and no one would recognize this talisman in the Treasure Pavilion, even if it was put in Gutai City to sell, it was estimated that there were no people who knew the goods, and it would not be able to sell it at all.
Feeling that what Mu Yang said was not unreasonable, Zhao Yuanbai thought about it and stopped insisting, and put away the indefinite talisman closely, and then Mu Yang proposed to retreat and cultivate in the past few days, and after seeing the scattered market, they would go out of the city to do tasks, and the two of them had no opinion.
Then Mo Xiaoqi seemed to have some ideas, and hurriedly took out all the spiritual materials and Dan furnaces needed for Muyang alchemy from his storage spirit weapon, and handed them to him, and took out some dry food and water to distribute to everyone.
He also specially buried a mist array outside the house just in case, and finally ran to his room in a hurry, closed the door and started his retreat, Zhao Yuanbai also began to breathe and recuperate, preparing to recover first in cultivation.
As for Muyang, he put these spiritual materials and the Dan furnace into his big bag, came to his room, and began to prepare for alchemy.
