Shen Luo accepted the talisman. Several twisting runes had been inscribed upon it, crooked and misshapen, without the slightest trace of profundity. It looked like a casual doodle.
He silently circulated his Magic Power and poured it into the talisman, but it did not react at all.
"I will certainly do as you say. What is the second matter?" Shen Luo fell silent briefly, put away the talisman, and pressed on.
"As for the second matter, if you hear the ringing of a bronze bell someday, you must shatter a piece of emerald jade on your person," the gray-robed old Daoist continued.
"Emerald jade..." Shen Luo froze again. Did he mean the Emerald Jade Ruyi?
"No, the Emerald Jade Ruyi was not made of jade. Its material was Azure Mystic Crystal, not jade. Could the hexagram be referring to that item?" His Divine Sense entered the Exquisite Ring.
In a corner of the Exquisite Ring lay a jade-green object: the piece of jade containing yin energy that he had obtained from the Gu tomb in Yin Ridge Mountain.
"And the third matter?" These thoughts spun through Shen Luo's mind as he continued asking.
"The third matter: if someone begs you for mercy on behalf of their father, you must not let compassion arise in your heart and spare them," said the gray-robed old Daoist.
"I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Master." Shen Luo was even more puzzled after hearing the third matter, but out of trust in the gray-robed old Daoist, he still nodded and agreed.
"Now that the divination is complete, this old Daoist shall take his leave." The gray-robed old Daoist rose and walked outside.
"May I ask where you reside, Master? This junior will certainly come pay you a visit someday." Shen Luo hurriedly followed him
