Chapter 142 – Brass ring


After completing the drawing of his first talisman in life, Chen Mobai was very pleased.

Riding on the wave of success, he drew ten more in succession, failing three times and succeeding seven times.

Just as he was preparing to continue consolidating his skills, he felt a wave of dizziness.

“Drawing talismans may not consume much spiritual power, but it does exhaust the mind. You must not exceed your own limits and need to balance work and rest.”

Luan Jingsheng, who was by his side, stopped Chen Mobai from continuing to draw and explained the reason.

“Thank you.”

Chen Mobai stopped, noticing that it was getting late outside, he invited Luan Jingsheng to have dinner.

After returning to his cave dwelling, he did not go to Qingguang Island in the Tianhe Realm, but rested well for the night using the “Mind Nurturing God Casting Technique”.

Early the next morning, at the break of dawn, he continued to transform his Pure Yang spiritual power.

Chen Mobai had already completed almost half of the Five Elements Power spiritual power transformation. His consciousness was in operation, and the spiritual power vortex in his Dantian Qi Sea had split into two.

After running the route of the Pure Yang Qi Refining Scroll and refining the rich spiritual power gathered after taking the Qi replenishing spiritual water into the smaller vortex, Chen Mobai slowly opened his eyes.

After finishing his practice, he found that it was still early.

He took out his brush, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to draw the “Resurrection Talisman” again.

A night’s rest and half a day’s cultivation had put him in a very good state, and he succeeded in his first three attempts.

It was not until the fourth time that he failed due to carelessness in not dipping enough talisman ink, causing the lines to fade towards the end.

However, Chen Mobai didn’t mind.

He felt that he had mastered this talisman. After dipping the ink and successfully drawing another one, he put down his bamboo brush.

Drawing talismans was very mentally exhausting. After drawing five in a row, he felt a bit tired.

After lunch.

He meditated to recover his spirit, closed the door, took out his phone and teleported to Qingguang Island in the Tianhe Realm again.

The harvest of the white jade bell had greatly aroused Chen Mobai’s interest in scavenging.

He felt that there should still be many intact magical tools scattered around Qingguang Island. Last time, he came at night for concealment, and his field of vision was limited. This time, he teleported directly during the day.

After leaving the cave.

Chen Mobai slapped three talismans on himself to conceal his figure, then retraced the route he had searched last time. He spent the entire afternoon carefully searching the collapsed market, but he was not as lucky as before.

He found nothing.

The main problem was that too many wooden buildings in the market had collapsed, and he didn’t dare to make a big fuss.

The noise of lifting wooden planks and stones might attract the attention of the Black Plague Birds.

He could come to this place an unlimited number of times and search slowly. Although the efficiency was slow, he would be able to search everywhere one day.

As the sun was about to set, Chen Mobai arrived at the place where the Shenmu Sect’s teleportation array was located.

This place must have been the most intense battlefield.

The ground was still dark red, and above it was the gnawed-off mountain top, which was the source of the spiritual vein of Qingguang Island, a third-order spiritual vein cultivated by the Shenmu Sect with tens of thousands of spirit stones.

Unfortunately, it was gone now, and he didn’t know whether it was drained by the Shenmu Sect using the Heavenly Wood Divine Light Array, or destroyed by a powerful beast that had made its way to the island.

Chen Mobai walked along the edge of the spiritual vein ruins, which had been gnawed into a huge pit, like a volcano crater.

Here, he found another harvest.

A faint golden glow flashed in the soil, catching his eye.

“Eh!”

His gaze shifted, falling on the inside of the pit, carefully observing the golden luster.

It was fortunate that he came during the day. The setting sun’s afterglow fell on that object, causing it to emit a faint, unnoticeable glow. Chen Mobai walked over and saw it.

It could only be said that his luck was very good.

However, to be cautious, he didn’t dare to go into the pit.

But he didn’t have a rope in his backpack, so how could he get that object?

Should he come back tomorrow?

After thinking for a while, Chen Mobai slapped his forehead and opened his needle box, which he hadn’t used for a long time.

A row of flying needles rose up, and under the control of magnetism, they crisscrossed into a palm-sized frame, flew into the soil where the glow was, scooped up the object, wrapped it up, and brought it to his eyes.

He cast a cleaning spell, and the dirt fell off, revealing the true face of the golden object.

It was a brass ring.

The craftsmanship was very simple, even a bit rough. It was just cast into a ring shape that could be worn on a finger. There were many scratches on the outer surface, and he didn’t know whether they were original or caused by later knocks.

The inside of the brass ring was very smooth.

Chen Mobai extended a finger and pressed it, although it was metal, it was not very hard and felt comfortable to touch.

However, he didn’t dare to put it on.Who knows what this brass ring is used for, it might be used for suppression and restraint.

He didn’t dare to infuse spiritual power to test its function.

Better to take it back and let Wu Wan appraise it.

He hoped Wu Wan wouldn’t ask where this magical artifact came from. However, after Wu Wan’s failure in Foundation Establishment, his behavior was quite in line with Chen Mobai’s intentions.

But this couldn’t go on forever, after all, it was foreseeable that he would acquire many magical artifacts in the Tianhe Realm in the future. Even if Wu Wan was tight-lipped, the more people knew, the greater the risk of exposure.

Should he find another appraiser for this brass ring?

Or should he learn the knowledge of appraising treasures himself?

After putting the brass ring into the pocket of his jacket, a thought suddenly flashed through Chen Mobai’s mind.

But he immediately shook his head.

He hadn’t even mastered talisman making yet, how could he be distracted to learn about treasure appraisal and artifact refining.

After being admitted to the Dance Artifact Academy, his next primary goal was to join the Shenmu Sect, obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill, and the “Two-Phase Skill” that could increase the success rate of forming a golden core.

Next, before it got completely dark, Chen Mobai took another round at the cave entrance, but it seemed his luck had run out, and he didn’t find any intact magical artifacts.

After returning, he sent a message to Wu Wan, asking about the progress of the white jade bell’s appraisal. The latter seemed to be busy and didn’t reply until half an hour later.

He said it was more difficult than he had imagined, and the method of cultivation was very unconventional.

Chen Mobai knew it might be because the artifact refining method in the Tianhe Realm was different from that of the Immortal Gate, so he understood and told him not to rush, just take his time.

However, this meant that the brass ring definitely couldn’t be appraised by Wu Wan in the short term.

He should focus on the white jade bell for now.

In the following month.

Chen Mobai led a simple life, practicing Qi Refining and drawing talismans at Danzhu Academy every day, and painstakingly picking up things on Qingguang Island in the Tianhe Realm.

But apart from a green handkerchief with a floral pattern, he didn’t gain anything else.

As for drawing talismans, he didn’t make much progress either. He could only go and ask Luan Jingsheng for help. The latter carefully examined the remaining four life talismans of the Shenmu Sect, and discovered something that greatly surprised Chen Mobai.
