Wu Wan had been busy appraising this pair of white jade bells for some time.
With the help of professional equipment and consultation from industry experts, he finally completed all the appraisal work yesterday.
“As expected, here you go.”
Chen Mobai took the appraisal certificate handed over by Wu Wan. Upon opening it, he found that it even included more than a dozen pages of additional information.
The information detailed the raw materials, refining methods, usage years, and condition of the white jade bells, as well as the most important part – the method of consecration and usage.
“These white jade bells have different functions. One can suppress the spirit, and the other can confuse the spirit.”
“The ‘suppressing spirit’ function is not simply to suppress the mind and keep it in the most stable state, but also to allow the user to better control the rapidly increasing spiritual sense in a short period of time.”
“As for confusing the spirit, as the name suggests, it can make those who hear the bell feel annoyed and confused. If the cultivation level is low, hearing it during Qi Refining meditation could even trigger demonic possession.”
“Of course, these bells seem to have been overused. Although they appear intact on the surface, some cracks can still be seen under a microscope. Therefore, these two functions may also have a limit. It’s best not to exceed the Qi Refining stage.”
After Wu Wan finished his detailed introduction, Chen Mobai couldn’t wait to use the consecration method he had deduced and infused his spiritual power into the white jade bells.
After a simple consecration, he activated the functions of these magical instruments.
Ding-dong!
First was the “Confusing Spirit”. The moment he heard the bell, Chen Mobai felt a sense of nausea and dizziness.
“Powerful.”
Although he was only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, his spiritual sense was extremely stable. Even Yang Jing’s killer move couldn’t shake him. He didn’t expect that a single magical instrument could make him somewhat unbearable.
No wonder the cultivators in the Tianhe Realm, no matter how low their cultivation level, always equip themselves with a magical instrument.
The difference in combat power between having a magical instrument and not having one, especially at the Qi Refining stage, is simply too great.
Ding-dong!
Chen Mobai then activated the “Suppressing Spirit” bell. Immediately, he and Wu Wan recovered from their dizziness, and their spirits were even more exuberant than before. It was like waking up in the morning after a deep sleep, their spirits were unprecedentedly good.
“Very good, even better than I imagined.”
After playing with the beautiful and useful white jade bells for a while, Chen Mobai happily paid Wu Wan the remaining appraisal fee.
“Master Wu, I have two more magical instruments here. I need to trouble you again.”
In the end, Chen Mobai took out the brass ring and the handkerchief with a green pattern that he had picked up from Qingguang Island and handed them to Wu Wan for appraisal.
The latter was surprised at first, but then his face lit up with joy.
In just one month, these three contracts alone could earn him a quarter’s worth of Good Deeds.
After all, Wu Wan didn’t have a name in those big refining shops and was working on his own. In the past, he might not even get a job appraising magical instruments in a month.
He put on gloves and took the handkerchief with a green pattern from Chen Mobai.
Inside the handkerchief was a slightly rough brass ring.
After a careful look, the green handkerchief was fine. It was just a middle-grade defensive magical instrument of the first order. Its power was probably equivalent to a wooden armor talisman, but it could be used repeatedly.
If Wu Wan was willing, he could appraise this green handkerchief on the spot.
However, this brass ring was a bit tricky for him.
“The raw material looks like it’s made from red copper mixed with other metals. The method seems to be an ancient forging technique, not a modern elemental blend. We might need to use the particle testing machine at Chixia Academy to determine the proportion of all the materials.”
Upon hearing Wu Wan’s words, Chen Mobai felt a bit uneasy.
The origin of this thing was a bit suspicious. If it was taken to the laboratory at Chixia Academy for material element appraisal, wouldn’t it possibly expose materials that the Immortal Gate didn’t have?
“Without testing the raw materials, can you appraise it to the third level and deduce the consecration and usage method of this magical instrument?”
He asked, and Wu Wan was slightly taken aback. But since it was the client’s request, he didn’t say much and simply nodded.
“Usually, the third-level appraisal requires the proportion of raw materials. But if you don’t mind, I won’t bother. Compared to that, the consecration and usage method is simpler.”
“Let’s do it this way then. I need to use these two magical instruments urgently. How soon can you complete the appraisal?”
“Still ten days. This handkerchief is not difficult, and there’s only one ring. It’s definitely faster than the white jade bells.”
Hearing Wu Wan’s confident words, Chen Mobai nodded and directly paid him the deposit.
“I’ll go to the school gate to print the contract. I didn’t expect to get two more deals coming over here. I wasn’t prepared.”Wu Wan first drafted an electronic version, allowing Chen Mobai to check if there were any issues. The latter initially thought of not signing a contract, as he was somewhat reluctant to leave traces of things from the Tianhe Realm in the Immortal Gate.
However, upon careful consideration, the Immortal Gate was filled with countless cultivators full of ingenious ideas, and the video websites were filled with strange magical tools created daily for the sake of attracting attention, like stars in the sky. He had only brought out three normal magical tools, there was no need to be so apprehensive.
Moreover, if he didn’t sign a contract with Wu Wan, with his shrewd nature, he would definitely be able to guess that there was something off about the origins of these magical tools.
Might as well follow the standard procedure.
To avoid arousing suspicion.
After signing the contract, the two called Luan Jingsheng to join them for a meal.
Afterwards, Chen Mobai returned to his own cave dwelling, focusing on cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll and drawing talismans.
The green kerchief was quickly identified. As expected, it was used for defense, and it didn’t even require a special method of cultivation. As long as spiritual power was infused into it, it would transform into a green square shield.
The range depended on the user’s spiritual power, and it could cover the entire person at its maximum.
The brass ring was a bit more troublesome. Wu Wan underestimated this magical tool, and it wasn’t until half a month later, with dark circles under his eyes, that he completed the third level of identification.
It was a magical tool for condensing sword qi, but it was more suitable for cultivators with gold attribute spiritual power. After infusing spiritual power in a specific way, it would burst out with a sharp sword light.
Chen Mobai gave it a try, and its power was equivalent to a first-grade superior Red Flame Sword Talisman.
However, it consumed a lot of spiritual power. With his current level, 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 consecutive swords. It might even be like the Three Swords Talisman you used during the duel. After the nine sword lights are released simultaneously, it could form a subtle change and trigger a more powerful sword qi.”
Wu Wan wrote everything he had identified on the certificate. After reading it, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but admire his professional level.
