Chapter 123: Join the Clock Tower(1/2)
"200 yuan! This is impossible!"
"What's impossible? The workmanship of these two crafty balls of yours is indeed good, but they are made of copper. If the pattern hadn't been really beautiful, I wouldn't have even wanted to display them when I bought them home."
"That's not okay. It has hundreds of years of history..."
"Shut up, you want to say these are ivory, I believe they are hundreds of years old.
Made of copper, it's probably around eighty or ninety years old.
Okay, 300 yuan, are you willing to part with it?"
"...500, it's a small business, just show your kindness."
"500? 500 is fine. Just put this three-legged golden toad statue on it."
"...Are you here to pick up something I missed?"
"I just think it looks good on display. How about I change it to this pen holder of yours?"
"That won't work. This is white porcelain. I won't sell it for even 5,000."
If it were really white porcelain, would you sell it for 5,000?
"Okay, please tell me whether it's okay or not!"
"……Fine."
…
…
Ping Yaren finally left the antique street with these three things on his back, and his intuition from the adventure had disappeared.
With the aid of the Translucent Wing Butterfly, which can make optical invisibility, and the concealment spell, breath blocking:d and the shadow of the abyss, to be honest, he has already made plans to sneak into the Chang'an Museum.
But the guidance given to him by Qiyu actually pointed to these three ornaments, which were not good things at first glance, which made him feel a little nervous.
No matter how you look at these three things, they don't look like ancient relics from the Qin Dynasty.
Not to mention the three-legged golden toad ornament, this is a solid copper toad.
The ghost ball is even funnier. Have you heard of the copper one?
How could Pingya people know that museums are not stupid either.
The antiques on display inside are either not mysterious or are imitations.
The authentic products with a mysterious aura are hidden and being studied.
After all, the fairy palace technology left behind by Brother Zheng is something that can drive all magicians crazy in the Xingyue world.
Returning to the hotel where he was staying, he began to experiment with what secrets these three items held.
The magic power poured in, but there was no response.
The fire of pure spirit burned through it, but there was no reaction.
I poured the truth-revealing potion on it, but there was no reaction.
...Tear it down.
Pulling out the [Feng Yue of Demon Exorcist], he slashed at the Ghost Work Ball with one knife, causing the 24-layer copper shell to crack in response.
Snap.
The two small core copper balls withstood the attack.
Sure enough, it should be more violent.
Pingya turned his head to look at the copper toad, then slashed it with his knife.
"Eh?"
His knife actually struck out?
Something's wrong...
After thinking for a while, Ping Yaren poured magic power into the copper toad ornament again.
Gradually, the toad's belly grew bigger and bigger.
"Oh, that's it."
Someone cast a magic spell on this toad, no, it should be said to be a spell, turning it into a sealed item.
The seal can be lifted by pouring a large amount of magic power into it.
Of course, it must be done in one go, otherwise the toad's own spell will not be triggered.
"...What is it that's hidden? With so much magic power, it still can't open the seal?
Really, gold pills and silver coins, by the way!"
With the help of the two pipe foxes, the toad finally vomited out the contents of its stomach, a bead.
After spitting out the beads, the copper toad was corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even its shape was somewhat distorted in the blink of an eye.
"Is it a one-time thing? What is it that is so well hidden?"
He picked up the bead and took a look. The system directly marked the name on it.
[Yunchui Formation Diagram]: The inheritance ceremony made by Zhuge Kongming, the great military advisor of the Shu Kingdom, for his disciple Jiang Wei when he was dying. It contains the relevant knowledge of the large-scale magic cloud formation. You need to study the "Book of Changes" and be proficient in the true meaning of the two hexagrams Gen and Kan.
Only then can we accept the inheritance.
Snapped!
Pingya's legs went weak.
Isn't it?
And the size of this bead is...somewhat...
Pingya looked up at the two copper beads...
After some tossing, the copper shell that absorbed a large amount of magic power shattered.
He picked it up and looked again
[Heaven Covering Formation Diagram]
[Wind Yang Formation Diagram]
Pingyaren: Gudu...
What does it mean?
Want him to summon Zhuge Kongming to join the battle?
...The Kong Ming who cannot be summoned is actually the second generation who is here, right?
By the way, if he doesn't follow the stall owner, maybe he has some treasures at home?
…

Six months later, Pingya was walking in the corridor of the clock tower with a frown on his face.
"Beep, the system prompts the host that the current completion rate of the main task is 37.8%."
"Beep, the system prompts the host that the current completion rate of the main task is 37.7%."
"Beep, the system prompts the host that the current completion rate of the main task is 37.8%."
…
"I know, it's so annoying. The system can temporarily block the prompts related to the main quest for me!"
"The system has blocked the host."
But Fangui, these reminders clearly told him that the evil in this world could resist the power of the Pure Spirit Yang Fire.
When Joan of Arc entered the Holy Grail, the system directly reminded Ping Yaren that the completion degree reached 35%. Then it would remind him about how much the completion degree had improved every week or so, and then the frequency gradually became two weeks, one month,
Three months later, it even started to rise and fall repeatedly this morning.
It's only been two years, and he doesn't know how long the Pure Spirit Yang Fire inside can last. As long as it doesn't fall below 30%, he still has hope of opening the dungeon store.
Really, if he hadn't hired a copy, he would have gone to hang out with Sister Shi long ago.
"Masato-kun, are you here to observe our class of the Innovation Department again?"
"Um."
"Oh~ why don't you just transfer to our Innovation Department?
You are already a public enemy of the animal family, and if you continue like this, you will be regarded as a public enemy of the entire clock tower."
"That's right, Masato-kun, do you know?
It is said that those witches in the plant department are already researching powerful love potions.
It has become a trend among the Curses Department to discuss how to curse you."
To be continued...
