Mind-Steadying, Mind-Bewildering
Wu Wan has been busy appraising the pair of White Jade Bell all this time.
With the help of professional instruments and equipment, and after consulting with experts in the field, we finally completed all the identification work yesterday.
"As expected, here you go."
Chen Mobai took the certificate of authenticity from Wu Wan and opened it to find that there were more than a dozen additional pages attached.
Besides the raw materials, crafting techniques, lifespan, and condition of the pair of White Jade Bell, what is written above is the most important part: the method of refining and using them.
"These two White Jade Bell have different functions; one can Mind-Steadying, and the other can Mind-Bewildering."
"The function of ' Mind-Steadying ' is not simply to suppress the mind and keep the mind 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 the Mind-Bewildering, it is as the name suggests. It can make people who hear the bell feel disturbed. If someone with low cultivation level hears it while meditating or practicing Qi Refining, it may even cause them to go into a state of demonic possession."
"Of course, these bells seem to have been overworked. Although the surface is intact, some cracks can still be seen inside under a microscope. So these two functions may also have a limit. It is best not to exceed the Qi Refining level."
After Wu Wan finished his detailed explanation, Chen Mobai couldn't wait to use the sacrificial technique he had deduced to inject his spiritual power into the White Jade Bell.
After a simple ritual, he activated the function of the Magic Artifact.
Ring ring! First came the "Mind-Bewildering. The moment Chen Mobai heard the ringing, he felt nauseous and dizzy.
"Sharp."
You should know that although he was only at the Qi Cultivation Seventh Layer, his Spiritual Sense was extremely stable. Even Yang Jing's killing move could not shake him. Unexpectedly, just a Magic Artifact was enough to make him feel overwhelmed.
No wonder cultivators in the Sky River Realm, no matter how low their cultivation level is, still want to acquire a Magic Artifact for themselves.
Having Magic Artifact versus Magic Artifact, especially at the Qi Refining stage, makes a huge difference in combat ability.
Ding-dong!
Chen Mobai then activated the "Mind-Steadying" bell again, and he and Wu Wan immediately recovered from their dizziness. In fact, they were even more energetic than before, like waking up in the morning after a deep sleep, with an unprecedentedly good mental state.
"Not bad, not bad, even more impressive than I imagined."
After admiring the pair of beautiful and practical White Jade Bell for a while, Chen Mobai transferred the remaining balance of the appraisal payment to Wu Wan with satisfaction.
"Master Wu, I have two more Magic Artifact here that I need to trouble you with again."
In the end, Chen Mobai took out the Brass Ring and the patterned blue handkerchief he had picked up from Green Light Island and handed them over to Wu Wan for appraisal.
The latter looked surprised, but immediately beamed with joy.
These three contracts alone in this month are enough to earn the equivalent of a whole quarter's Merit Points in the past.
After all, Wu Wan didn't have a registered business with those large Artifact Refining shops; he worked independently and in the past, he might not get a job appraising Magic Artifact even once a month.
He put on gloves and took the blue patterned handkerchief that Chen Mobai handed him.
Unfold the handkerchief, and inside is a slightly rough Brass Ring.
After a closer look, the Green Kerchief Handkerchief was alright; it was merely a mid-grade first-tier defensive magic Magic Artifact, its power probably equivalent to a Wood Armor Talisman, but it could be reused repeatedly.
If Wu Wan were willing, he could complete the appraisal of this Green Kerchief Handkerchief on the spot.
However, this Brass Ring proved to be a bit of a challenge for him.
"This raw material seems to be made by melting Red Copper with other metals mixed in. Judging from the method, it should be an ancient forging process, not a modern element blending. We may need to use the special particle measuring machine at the Crimson Cloud Academy to determine the proportion of all the materials."
Wu Wan's words made Chen Mobai a little uneasy.
The origin of this thing is already a bit strange. If we take it to the laboratory at the Crimson Cloud Academy to have its material elements analyzed, wouldn't that potentially reveal a material that the Immortal Sect doesn't have?
"Without testing the raw materials, can we identify it up to the third level and deduce the methods of Magic Artifact refinement and use?"
He asked a question, Wu Wan was slightly taken aback, but since it was the client's request, he didn't say much and nodded readily.
"Generally, third-level appraisals require the raw material ratios, but if you don't care, I won't bother. In comparison, the refining and application methods are simpler."
"Then let's do it this way. I need these two Magic Artifact urgently. How quickly can you complete the appraisal?"
"Let's keep it to ten days. This handkerchief isn't difficult to make, and there's only one ring. It'll definitely be faster than those two White Jade Bell."
Hearing Wu Wan's confident words, Chen Mobai nodded and immediately transferred the deposit to him.
"I went to the school gate to print out a contract. I didn't expect to get two more orders here. I wasn't prepared."
Wu Wan first drafted an electronic version and showed it to Chen Mobai for feedback. The latter originally intended not to sign the contract, as he didn't want anything from the Sky River Realm to leave a trace on the Immortal Sect's side.
But upon closer reflection, he realized that there were countless cultivators in the Immortal Sect full of ingenious ideas, and countless strange magical Magic Artifact were created on video websites every day just to attract attention. He had only taken out three normal magical Magic Artifact, so there was no need to be so afraid of everything.
Moreover, if we don't sign a contract with Wu Wan, given his shrewd nature, he will definitely be able to guess that the origin of these Magic Artifact is problematic.
Let's just follow the proper procedures.
To avoid arousing suspicion.
After signing the contract, the two invited Luan Jingsheng to have a meal together.
Afterwards, Chen Mobai returned to his Cave Mansion and devoted himself to cultivating the Pure Yang Scroll and drawing talismans.
The Green Kerchief Handkerchief was quickly identified as being for defensive purposes. It didn't even require any special refining techniques; simply injecting spiritual energy into it would transform it into a blue square shield.
The range depends on the user's spiritual power, and can cover the entire person at most.
The Brass Ring was a bit troublesome. Wu Wan underestimated this Magic Artifact, and it wasn't until half a month later, with dark circles under his eyes, that he finally completed the third level of appraisal.
This is a magical Magic Artifact that condenses sword energy, but it is more suitable for cultivators with Gold Attribute spiritual power. After spiritual power is injected into it according to a specific method, it will burst out with a sharp Sword Light.
Chen Mobai tried it out, and its power was equivalent to a first-grade high-level Red Flame One Sword Talisman.
However, it consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and at his level, he can only activate it seven times at most.
"Although I haven't tested it, I feel that the maximum limit of this ring should be the ability to unleash nine swords in succession. It might even be like the Three Sword Talisman you used during the Spell Duel. After the nine Sword Light are released at the same time, it can create a subtle change and trigger an even more powerful sword energy."
Wu Wan wrote down everything he had identified on the certificate, and after reading it, Chen Mobai couldn't help but admire his professional level.
