Fried Salted Fish
Chapter 64 The Much-Anticipated Treasure Hunt
"Master Ji probably wouldn't be interested in the ordinary magical artifacts in the first three halls. Let's go directly to the last five halls."
After entering the Divine Palace Supervisor's office, the Eunuch Director of the Divine Palace Supervisor did not take Ji Xiang to the place where ordinary magical artifacts were placed, but went straight to one of the large warehouses, where the good stuff dismantled from the Great Gao Xuan Hall was placed.
As soon as he entered the first rear hall, countless utensils were neatly arranged wherever his eyes could see. Ji Xiang widened his eyes, trying to observe these damaged magical artifacts, hoping to get a heaven-defying artifact from them whose function had not been discovered by anyone else.
The Blank Divine Tablet immediately showed a large amount of text in his inner vision!
[Northern Emperor Heavenly Canopy Ruler (Damaged): Treasure! Point at a mountain and it collapses, point at the ground and it cracks, point at the sea and it dries up, drive away plagues and subdue evil! With a single point of this ruler, evil spirits and demons will immediately reveal their true forms (the power of Executing Evil and Dividing Forms has failed).]
[Red and White Lang Plum (Damaged): Treasure! Predict the year's harvest, never perish! The core of the sacred fruit of Mount Wudang can predict the climate change and people's living conditions in a specific area next year. (Prediction has failed)]
[Xuande Furnace (Large area of wear): Treasure! The furnace fire is always bright, and its power is awe-inspiring! Made of red copper from Siam during the Xuanzong era, there are only three thousand pieces in the world. Burning incense in this furnace can nourish people's spirits, stabilize their hearts, and drive away evil thoughts (function declined).]
[Brass Zhengde Coin (Destroyed): Tremor! Two and a half Zhengde coins in the world! This coin was used by the Zhengde Emperor to pass on the throne and served as a talisman for the Jiajing Emperor. With this coin on your body, all evils will retreat, demons will be terrified, and neither heaven nor earth can restrain you. (Completely destroyed)]
[Eight Dragons Cloud Seal Bright Light Heavenly Book (Missing): Tremor! Requires the "Qi of the Three Origins, Five Virtues, and Eight Meetings" or the "Qi of Natural Flight and Mystery" to be used, and can derive any kind of Daoist magic in the Three Origins and Five Elements! (The Three Origins derivation has failed)]
Ji Xiang just glanced at it, first startled, and then completely numb.
Although these things are very powerful, and they are indeed the best of the best, and there are even two national treasures! It can be said that they are very remarkable, but these things are either damaged or have expired due to age.
Sure enough, second-hand magical artifacts are second-hand after all, and there is a reason why they are eliminated. If they were not broken, how could they be put in the warehouse to gather dust?
However, Ji Xiang thought again, in this situation, as the saying goes, second-hand stalls are full of tricks, and once you come to this kind of place, you will be happy to see a bargain.
"Can I take this Eight Dragons Cloud Seal Bright Light Heavenly Book?"
"Of course, you can. But Master Ji, this thing is useless anymore. It needs the Qi of Natural Flight and Mystery to be driven. In the past, Tao Zhongwen used the Nine Heavens Myriad Dharma Thunder Altar to attract the Qi of the Great Void in order to derive the Qi of Natural Flight and Mystery..."
"After Tao Zhongwen, many people have tried to guide the Qi of the Great Void, but even the Zhang Zhenren has not succeeded."
The Eunuch Director of the Divine Palace Supervisor told Ji Xiang that this thing was useless. If you take it, it's just for collection, to put on airs. Of course, if he wants to take it, he wouldn't dare to have any objections.
But even the Zhang Zhenren could not attract the Qi of the Great Void, who else could attract it?
Ji Xiang picked up this Heavenly Book, thinking to himself.
Isn't the Great Void Fulidi?
This Heavenly Book is actually a bamboo slip. Ji Xiang picked it up, shook it gently, and examined it carefully.
The Blank Divine Tablet gave an explanation:
[The Heavenly Book originates from the Heaven of Beginning Azure, and when the cloud seal characters are written, they can reach the Great Fulidi Earth and be known by the gods.]
[The Heavenly Book is without words and requires the writing of cloud seal characters to perform Daoist magic. Because the parts of the Heavenly Book related to the Three Origins of "Heaven, Earth, and Water" are missing, only Daoist magic within the Five Elements can be written.]
[The holder of the Heavenly Book is the Lord of Incense and the Guest of Fulidi, and can use incense to write cloud seal characters on this book!]
[The process of writing with incense is equivalent to offering sacrifices to the holder of the Heavenly Book, and a Qi of Natural Flight and Mystery will be born in this process!]
Ji Xiang's pupils widened slightly.
Once started in the Azure Heaven of Biluo, the Great Fulidi Earth.
"There really is a leak."
Although he said so in his heart, it wasn't really a bargain.
After all, I am the Biluo Celestial God in Fulidi... or an extraterrestrial demon?
So that's how it is. I just need to sacrifice myself. The God of Fulidi takes the incense and sacrifices himself, and then the Qi of Natural Flight and Mystery can be produced. It seems that the so-called Qi of Natural Flight and Mystery is a kind of turbid Qi born from burning the Qi of the Great Void during incense sacrifices.
I just don't know how much incense burning can produce a Qi of Natural Flight and Mystery?
But no matter what, it's a good thing to be able to use it.
Ji Xiang smiled slightly.
The Godly Sea-Stabilizing Iron Pillar waited for Sun Wukong for three or four thousand years, but you, Heavenly Book, only waited for me for thirty or forty years.
It seems that under this whole world, apart from me, no one else is qualified to truly use this thing.
However, Tremor instruments seem to require a large amount of Yuan Qi to nurture. Ji Xiang had already noticed this last night.
It's just that the Blank Divine Tablet devoured too much Yuan Qi, so the Yuan Qi consumed by the Golden Strike Child's nurturing last night was insignificant compared to the total amount swallowed by the Blank Divine Tablet.
Ji Xiang wandered around the hall, comparing the goods in the three halls, and picked out a few usable magical artifacts and treasures that were not too damaged.
Of course, he also took away a large bundle of incense sticks. For Ji Xiang, who is now the Lord of Incense and an extraterrestrial demon, this thing tastes like spicy strips.
This incense is taken from his own home and burned, guaranteed to be genuine!
In addition, he originally wanted to supplement Flowing Pearl with the remaining magical artifacts, but the lowest Flowing Pearl dismantled from the Great Gao Xuan Hall was twenty-eight, and Ji Xiang's current realm could not exert the full power of this kind of Flowing Pearl.
"Aren't there any twelve Flowing Pearls?"
"Master Ji, twelve is too low-level. The small eunuchs in our Divine Palace Supervisor wear twenty-eight on their hands. Look at mine, thirty-two, representing the Thirty-Two Heavenly Emperors..."
"........"
While chatting with Ji Xiang, the Eunuch Director of the Divine Palace Supervisor walked towards the fifth rear hall. On the shelf in this hall, he took down a wooden box and presented it to Ji Xiang:
"Master Ji might as well take a look at this. With Master Ji's skills, perhaps this thing can be of use."
"That Tao Zhongwen is a member of the Divine Firmament Dharma Sect, and the Divine Firmament Sect has always been proud of its thunder magic..."
The Eunuch Director of the Divine Palace Supervisor opened the wooden box, and inside lay a rusty brass token.
In Ji Xiang's eyes, the brass thunder token was reflected, and in his inner vision, the Blank Divine Tablet showed text:
[Divine Might Decisive Order: Spiritual Item! If your heart harbors evil, it is useless to burn incense; if you maintain a righteous mind, what does it matter if you don't worship me!]
[If your body and mind are not righteous, striking the order will lead to your own demise; when the spiritual tablet rings, the sky will shake and the earth will tremble.]
[For the evil gods and heretics, demons and ghosts in the mortal world, striking the tablet once and chanting "Utmost firmness and courage, saving the dying and helping the living," will immediately knock down their divine positions and demonic bodies, cutting them into pieces!]
Ji Xiang's face was complex, and he couldn't hide his shock.
The Eunuch Director of the Divine Palace Supervisor smiled: "Master Ji is also frightened by this thing? This thing is called the Divine Might Decisive Order, and the back is engraved with the Image of the Heavenly Lord of Primordial Thunder... The purpose of this thing is..."
But Ji Xiang couldn't hear the words of the Eunuch Director of the Divine Palace Supervisor at all.
His eyes were fixed on the thunder token, and his brows were deeply furrowed.
Because in the description of the Blank Divine Tablet, there was one last sentence.
[You have evil thoughts, you cannot use it!]
