"Um?!"
Upon hearing Zhou Zhenhua's voice, Lu Li abruptly sat up from the recliner.
To be honest, what he's been most looking forward to lately is the ' Spirit Vein Detection Law Artifact ' that the country is currently developing.
This place in Clear River Commandery is suspected to be Spirit Vein; if there were Law Artifact there...
Why did he bother to wait for so many days?
Law Artifact to probe will make everything clear!
Hearing that the country had produced a prototype in such a short time was truly astonishing.
How could Lu Li not be excited?
He gripped the jade pendant tightly and asked in a trembling voice.
"Mr. Zhou! Is the prototype... is it usable?"
"It can explore Spirit Vein?!"
"Um!"
"Comrade Lu Li, we know you recently took on a mission that is suspected to involve Spirit Vein, and we've expedited the process for it."
Zhou Zhenhua's voice was firm.
As the head of the weapon-refining workshop, he was naturally aware of each situation report that Lu Li sent back.
Knowing what Lu Li through.
To this end, the three workshops worked tirelessly, day and night, for several days and nights in a row.
In addition, there were suggestions and optimizations from Lu Li.
They finally succeeded in crafting the first Spirit Vein Detection Law Artifact.
"Comrade Lu Li, this is the first-generation Spirit Vein Detection Law Artifact, um... it's basically the Spirit Detection Version 1.0, although it's still quite rudimentary."
Many of the envisioned features have not been developed.
"But if it's just for detection, it should be fine."
"We've already brought the prototype over. Take it and try it out first. Remember to record the operational status data of the Law Artifact implement in detail for us."
"Good!"
"Don't worry, Engineer Zhou!"
Lu Li suppressed his excitement and agreed.
Without further hesitation, I immediately increased my Spiritual Power output.
"Buzz~!"
"Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!"
A surge of powerful Spiritual Power flowed into the jade pendant.
The immense pulling force startled Lu Li slightly.
Having learned from the experience of the Spirit Machinery Mech, Lu Li knew that this scale of Spiritual Power surge was...
The opponent must be a behemoth.
Sure enough, as time went by, the pulling force grew stronger and stronger.
The Spiritual Power was gradually being depleted more and more.
"Buzz~!"
"Buzz~!"
"Buzz~!"
Cold sweat even seeped from his forehead.
Just as his Dantian was about to become empty.
"Bang!"
Suddenly, a soft sound.
The jade pendant's luster subsided, and the immense pulling force suddenly disappeared.
The transmission was clearly successful.
"Whoosh!"
He let out a long sigh of relief.
Lu Li raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
I couldn't wait to delve deeper into the jade pendant...
Although I was mentally prepared for it.
However, even as his consciousness sank into the Jade Pendant Space, the scene before him still made him gasp for breath.
"Is this... is this the Spirit Vein Detection Law Artifact shown on the blueprints?"
"How come... it's so rough..."
Lu Li silent; he had seen the design blueprints for the Spirit Vein Detection Law Artifact.
Exquisitely crafted.
But right now...
A primitive, colossal steel structure assaulted his eyes.
The main body is an octagonal base with a diameter of nearly five meters, as heavy as an altar.
The surface is covered with Artifact Inscription and Formation Inscription.
Eight support brackets, each about the thickness of a bowl, are welded to the edge of the base.
It protrudes outwards without any aesthetic appeal, and is over six meters long.
Each support was simply and crudely inlaid with Spirit Stone at its end.
There wasn't even a protective casing; the wires and Talisman Inscription were completely exposed.
The most exaggerated part is the central section.
A Jade Slip slip, about the size of a door panel, was held in mid-air by clamps, shimmering faintly under the connection of the array.
Various pipeline materials are wrapped around the supports like vines.
The entire ritual Law Artifact exudes the unique aura of a 'rushed product'.
"Ahem... Comrade Lu Li, this is to accommodate your current mission situation."
"Therefore, the organization didn't do much to optimize the appearance..."
Zhou Zhenhua seemed a little embarrassed as well.
The blueprints and the actual product were completely different things; even he felt awkward about it.
Lu Li nodded.
It's alright.
"As long as it works, that's fine."
He is now eager to use the Spirit Vein Detection Law Artifact.
Naturally, they wouldn't care about appearance.
"In that case, Comrade Lu Li, we await your good news!"
"Whoosh!"
He hung up the jade pendant.
Lu Li from the Trace-Obscuring Talisman and stood up from the recliner.
With a flick of the wrist.
"Bang!"
He placed the massive, heavy Spirit Vein Detection Law Artifact on the barren mountain.
The noise startled the two brothers, Changming and Changye, awake.
The two men crawled out of the tent and stared in disbelief at the enormous creature before them.
"Master... Master, what is this..."
"I know! This is probably the magical Law Artifact that Master often talks about!"
"I never imagined Master possessed such a powerful magical Law Artifact."
Lu Changye was slightly excited.
In a teenager's mind, perhaps big means powerful.
In reality... the more intricate the design, the more terrifying it is...
Lu Li didn't answer, but silently nodded.
It's just a hand gesture.
"Go!"
A beam of light shone on the Jade Slip in the center of the detection Law Artifact.
Buzz!
The Law Artifact is activated.
The energy of all eight Spirit Stone was activated simultaneously.
The vibrations continued incessantly.
The Artifact Inscription, Talisman Inscription, and Formation Inscription on the entire surface function simultaneously.
As the Spirit Stone were rapidly consumed, a faint, wavy spiritual energy emanated from the Law Artifact.
It spread underground.
It seemed as if it was searching for something.
Half an incense stick later.
Lu Li suddenly sensed a subtle spiritual energy rebounding from him.
"Buzz buzz buzz!"
Upon receiving this spiritual inspiration, the massive Jade Slip at the center of the detection Law Artifact immediately began to flash with light.
The image appeared.
Lu Li's pupils contracted sharply.
"This... this is..."
" Spirit Vein... it really exists!"
"But... what's that thing over there?!"
Lu Li flew closer, his eyes wide with shock as he looked at the Jade Slip slip.
Inside, there is a strip of texture less than 100 meters long, resembling the roots of an old tree or the patterns of a mountain range.
Most importantly, there is no gold, no stone, no soil, and no roots around the texture.
It is as if suspended in mid-air beneath the earth, just as recorded in the Earthly Records, born of heaven and earth, nurtured by the earth, its veins rising with energy, this is... Spirit Vein!
"Judging from its length, which is less than 100 meters, it seems to be less than the first level."
"In other words... this Spirit Vein is still growing and has not yet fully formed."
Lu Li pondered for a moment; the image displayed was exactly the same as what was recorded in the Record of Earth Veins.
It is undoubtedly Spirit Vein.
What puzzled him most was that the Jade Slip showed that a blocky network of veins branched off around the Spirit Vein.
It's not very long, only a few tens of meters.
It resembles a pile of jumbled stones, with sharp, distinct edges.
Raising an eyebrow, Lu Li pulled out the Record of Earth Veins again.
I examined it carefully from beginning to end, trying to see if there were any similar records.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The pages turned.
I read through the information about Spirit Vein again in detail.
No relevant records were found.
Lu Li frowned, about to put the book away.
His gaze suddenly sharpened as a line of small print on the title page of the Record of Earth Veins caught his attention.
" Spirit Vein are the root of heaven and earth, the essence of creation. Obtaining one allows one to establish a sect and build a foundation for ten thousand years. Possessing one's own veins allows one to become a revered ancestor and control the destiny of a region."
"However, Heavenly Dao values life. If one sees 'spiritual minerals' growing alongside a vein, like a mother carrying her child, this is a sign that the Spirit Vein is bursting with vitality, containing the universe within, and has the potential to transcend the mortal realm and ascend to a higher level."
"Those who obtain this lineage should cherish it like a priceless treasure, carefully protecting it, awaiting its transformation into a dragon, bringing lasting blessings."
"Please note, this spirit ore is not a mineral for metals or spiritual materials; it is actually a mineral formed from the crystallization of Spiritual Qi, also known in the world as... Spirit Stone Mine!"
