Chapter 141: Unpredictable Uses
The second item is a defensive treasure.
Although it only used four types of spirit mines, it took far more time than crafting the spiritual sword.
After spending more than twenty hours, Yi Chen successfully refined a bright red pendant.
There’s no doubt that even the shape of the long sword wasn’t impressive; it’s easy to imagine the pendant’s appearance.
This so-called pendant is simply a red sphere the size of a glass marble, with a hole pierced through the middle.
And it’s not even perfectly round.
Don’t be fooled by its minimal material consumption—its function is quite strong.
As long as a small amount of spirit power is inputted, it can generate an energy shield with a diameter of about two meters around the user.
This energy shield is enough to withstand the multiple Sword Energies produced by a second-grade spiritual sword at Yi Chen’s current power level.
Moreover, this shield is mobile and can move with the defensive treasure.
Of course, it also has many weaknesses.
The biggest weakness is that the energy contained within the shield is a one-time consumable, meaning it cannot be replenished.
Once the energy is exhausted, the entire treasure will collapse due to the depletion of its internal energy and defense properties.
Additionally, it cannot activate on its own; it cannot detect strong external energy fluctuations to trigger the shield.
It must be initiated by the user.
If the user is not quick enough to react, they might find themselves in trouble before they can even activate it.
The last significant weakness is that activating the treasure’s material energy and defense features creates a dual-layered defense.
This means that once the defensive shield is up, it can block both external attacks and internal ones.
If Yi Chen wants to attack someone, he must first deactivate the treasure’s defensive shield.
Otherwise, his own attacks will be blocked by the shield.
There are also weaknesses such as an inability to defend against mental attacks or specific types of the power of the laws.
The main reason for these limitations is that the material types are just too few.
A clever woman cannot cook without rice.
With the materials available, Yi Chen could only create a defensive treasure that, while possessing decent defense and mobility, lacks meaningful additional features.
With the spiritual sword and the defensive treasure complete, it was time for the third treasure—a flying treasure.
This flying treasure, due to the absence of space-type spirit mines that allow for enlargement and reduction, seemed even less impressive in Yi Chen’s eyes.
The only advantage is that it will make future travels more convenient, saving time.
"Come in!"
After looking at the number of Wind Stones on the shelf, Yi Chen shouted towards the door.
"Chief, do you have any orders?"
A guard outside immediately pushed the door open and entered.
"Get some people and move some Wind Stones from the spirit mine warehouse."
Yi Chen instructed.
“How many does the chief need?”
The guard asked curiously.
“Just bring some over first and stack them outside the door.”
Yi Chen waved his hand. If he knew how many Wind Stones were needed, he would have stated it directly.
He could only estimate the amount needed by observing the materials as they were delivered.
A little more or less would not make much difference.
The guard scratched his head, dared not to ask again, and quickly bowed and left.
…
“Is there more?”
“What is Yi Chen up to? He just used various spirit mines to melt down a small object the size of a glass marble, and it’s still not done.”
“Yeah! According to the scanner’s data, this little thing is of average hardness, and I have no idea what its use is.”
“Anything but a pendant, right? Yi Chen couldn’t possibly waste over twenty hours to make a simple pendant. As for its function, we’ll just have to wait until Yi Chen uses it to understand.”
“I feel it’s something like a bomb, disguised as a pendant. Once he encounters danger, he can use his divine consciousness to take it off and secretly control it to any place, then explode it with his thoughts.”
“Who knows? The explosive power might even blow up a mountain. According to the scanner’s data, while its hardness is not impressive, the energy contained within is astonishing.”
“Impossible! If it could blow up a mountain, wouldn’t Yi Chen be in danger too? I think it might actually be a hidden weapon.”
“Don’t underestimate its round shape; once shot out using the Flying Blade Technique, its penetrating power could surpass that of a thorny fruit by thousands or even tens of thousands of times.”
The audience in the live room began to speculate wildly, without a clear direction.
“Stop the wild guessing! Can anyone skilled figure out what Yi Chen is doing bringing all these Wind Stones?”
“This question can only be answered by Yi Chen and Heaven, because it’s impossible to guess. Small items at least provide some clues, but what can you make of so many Wind Stones? It can’t be for building a house, right?”
“Whatever the purpose, melting them down will take a significant amount of time. I just want to know when Yi Chen will test the spiritual sword and that small pendant.”
As they gathered ideas, with no reasonable deductions in sight, the audience in the live room could only wait helplessly.
…
“Chief!”
At the doorway, Bai Ruo Xin’s beautiful figure appeared.
Yi Chen nodded and gestured toward the spiritual sword on the stone platform. “Should we test the power of the newly refined second-grade spiritual sword?”
“Have you tried it yet?” Bai Ruo Xin asked.
“Not yet.” Yi Chen shook his head.
“I think it’s better to wait for the chief to use it personally when you have time to unleash its maximum power!” Bai Ruo Xin firmly declined.
“…”
Yi Chen couldn’t understand why Bai Ruo Xin had no curiosity at all, but he didn’t bother himself with such a meaningless question.
The audience in the live room felt frustrated.
They started to realize why Bai Ruo Xin acted this way. If Bai Ruo Xin was truly sent by the Revival Army, then both her previous refusal to learn divine consciousness and this time’s swift rejection to test the sword’s power were acts of deliberate retaliation.
She was taking revenge on Yi Chen, who was still unaware of the truth, by troubling the audience in the live room.
As the guards obeyed his orders, directing several tribe members to bring the Wind Stones to the door, Bai Ruo Xin asked,
“Do you need any other spirit mines or containers for storing Wind Stone liquid?”
“Just prepare some Wind Stones, Ice Cold Iron, Hardening Stones, and Floating Stones!” Yi Chen ordered.
“Okay!”
Bai Ruo Xin immediately headed to the wooden rack, using her divine consciousness to wrap up a batch of each spirit mine and deliver them to the entrance.
“That’s enough, everyone can retreat!”
As the Wind Stones piled up like a small mountain, Yi Chen waved his hand to the guards and tribe members.
Two guards and more than ten tribe members bowed and retreated.
Seeing that Yi Chen did not glance at her, Bai Ruo Xin stood still, taking it upon herself to be the exception.
The live room was filled with condemnation and sarcasm.
Unfortunately, Bai Ruo Xin seemed unaffected by the emotions surrounding her.
Even if she knew, she would simply ignore it.
