Controlling a Treasure

The spirit jade was indeed hidden inside the stone.

After examining the container in which Turcolando had been crushed into stone chips, Zhang Xuezhou finally made a conclusion and determined that Lingyu was closely related to stalactites and other types of karst caves.

This type of extremely special jade absorbs the essence of heaven and earth and is not produced from mineral deposits, so it is unlikely to be stored underground like iron ore.

As he pondered the matter of the spirit jade, he couldn't help but look again at the intricate inscription diagram that Ren Anran had finally drawn.

According to Huang's description, this is somewhat similar to the way talismans are used, but the raw materials used to create talismans are even more luxurious.

This requires carving inscriptions onto the spirit jade in order to potentially unleash its power.

However, Huang lacks a systematic approach to his own cultivation, making it extremely difficult for him to teach others through description.

Without the spiritual exchange between Ren Yisheng and Huang, it would be difficult to even find a translator who is fluent in the ancient Tuer language.

Even so, Huang could only offer limited explanations after being repeatedly beaten.

Huang even found it difficult to know whether this entrustment could be effectively utilized by Ren Anran and others.

"Is it worth it?" Ren Anran asked in a low voice.

"We should still give it a try!"

Zhang Xuezhou has no shortage of cultivation techniques in another field, but he lacks divine arts to resist extraterrestrial demons.

Even if there was only the slightest possibility, he felt he was willing to try, even if it meant losing a piece of spirit jade.

They found the best sculptor among the Tuer people and waited patiently for him to finish carving.

Jade shavings flew everywhere, and a delicate fragrance wafted through the air as Zhang Xuezhou watched intently as the sculptor made each cut.

His many pursuits, whether it was becoming an official, a teaching assistant, or studying 'luck' techniques, were all ultimately aimed at saving his life.

The possibility of such a wasteland made Zhang Xuezhou willing to give it a try.

But whenever he thought about his unremarkable luck, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"We have fulfilled our mission!"

Ren Anran's drawings were flat, and completing the entire carving on an irregular jade stone without leaving any gaps was indeed a huge challenge.

Through instrumental measurements and meticulous calculations by mathematicians, this piece of jade ultimately revealed the inscription state shown on the blueprint.

"Did he explain how to use it?" Zhang Xuezhou asked in a low voice as he took the spirit jade.

"It should be about channeling power into the inscription," Ren Anran said. "Once the inscription is activated, you'll be able to feel the effects!"

Beside them were sculptors and mathematicians, and Turkalando also picked up a Soul Jade to examine the inscriptions on it.

Year after year they carved the inscriptions, but few could understand them. They simply repeated the process and placed the carved inscribed soul jades in the shrine for worship.

"It shouldn't be physical force," Turcalando added. "I've tried using physical force many times."

"This definitely won't involve physical force," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile.

"My attempts to use mental powers also failed!"

When Turkalando recounted his attempt again, Zhang Xuezhou's outstretched fingers slightly tightened.

What he and Huang have in common is that they can both use spiritual power. If spiritual power cannot be used, such an inscription is just a piece of waste paper.

Zhang Xuezhou focused his gaze on the spirit jade for several seconds, only to find that the spirit jade did not change at all in his hand, and the inscription did not have any effect.

"Does this mean the professor has to use it?"

Zhang Xuezhou used the inscription only to try to gain a sliver of hope in fighting against the extraterrestrial demons. If the inscription could only be used under special physical conditions, it would be of no use to him.

After failing to concentrate his spiritual power several times, he inevitably began to switch his power.

Physical methods such as grasping, pinching, and throwing were of no use, but when Zhang Xuezhou used his magical Law Power, he had a different feeling.

"Rise!"

The Law Power surged out and poured into the spirit jade, causing faint ripples of Law Power to spread across its surface. The spirit jade also began to bulge like an expired battery.

"It looks like it's about to explode!"

Ren Anran's urgent reminder came, and Turkalando was about to run away, but after a quick reaction, she grabbed the spirit jade in Zhang Xuezhou's hand and threw it far away.

"Don't!"

Ren Anran was aware of the impact of the Law Power backlash and chose to quickly warn him, but Turkalando didn't have that concept in mind.

As the infusion of Law Power was interrupted, Zhang Xuezhou felt a tightness in his chest.

The jade streaked along a long parabola before landing more than fifty meters away.

"No? Don't thank me, it's what I should do!"

Seeing Zhang Xuezhou looking at him, Turkalando stammered a reply.

"I saw that thing was about to explode," Tulcarando explained in a low voice.

"You did the right thing, but I hope you won't do it again next time. It would be better to just run away a little further away!"

Zhang Xuezhou caught his breath and couldn't help but rub his chest.

The backlash from having one's magic forcibly interrupted is worse than being suddenly raided by police during sexual intercourse. Some people experience backlash that includes vomiting blood, and in more severe cases, the magic may even be destroyed.

Zhang Xuezhou was also glad that he had only been continuously outputting Law Power and had not channeled any heavy spells.

He took a deep breath, calming the churning in his chest.

"You help..."

Just as Zhang Xuezhou was about to ask Turkalando to retrieve the spirit jade, he felt an additional sense of connection when he pointed at it.

This made him beckon with his finger, and as he directed his Law Power into the distance, Zhang Xuezhou saw the spirit jade that had been thrown out earlier rise into the air and fall back into his palm.

"The bulge in the jade seems to be a transformation caused by the combination of Law Power and inscriptions!"

Looking at the spirit jade in his palm, which bulged and contracted intermittently, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but reach out and squeeze it.

Like kneading crystal clay, the jade slowly changed shape in his palm.

Once his Law Power stopped, the spirit jade had returned to its rock-hard form.

Zhang Xuezhou tried to infuse his Law Power again and pointed his finger. The spirit jade shot out like a locust.

"What kind of skill is that?"

The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

The inscription was activated by Law Power, but the activated inscription did not bring Zhang Xuezhou the power he had imagined.

He doesn't need a piece of spirit jade that controls flying around.

This inscription capability did indeed disappoint Zhang Xuezhou somewhat.

"You said that the stone axe in the wilderness has a piece of spirit jade embedded inside. Should we also coat that spirit jade with a sharp blade?"

"No matter how many sharp blades you have, they can't beat firearms!"

"The effective range of firearms is only a few hundred meters, but the extension of your Law Power will be much more than a few hundred meters in the future!"

"Law Power extension?"

Ren Anran's reminder reminded Zhang Xuezhou of the rumors surrounding Daojun.

Daojun kills enemies with a magical flying knife, its power at both close and long range is top-notch, making it impossible to defend against, and few dare to provoke Daojun.

After Ren Anran's reminder, Zhang Xuezhou couldn't help but realize the emergence of an ability similar to Daojun's Incantation Technique- throwing knife.

If this malleable jade were inlaid with an external blade, it would inevitably become a blade that grows stronger with the power of Law Power and the distance it travels.

If one continues to progress in cultivation, it would not be surprising if the effective range and striking power of this treasure exceeded that of firearms.

"So this is the rough draft of Law Treasure!"

If there are no fellow practitioners with similar cultivation techniques, Zhang Xuezhou believes that they are very likely to create the first true magical Law Treasure in this world.
