Xianxia: Why am I here?

211 Studying artifact

“This thing seems ordinary. You say, what is it so hard?” Wang looked at what was left of the altar.

“How about you study it for a while and find it out the way it was crafted?

Wang was shocked that he couldn’t move the alter at all.

It seemed like the thing must be refined before it can be moved at will.

He observed it and the curiosity was obviously in the means of refinement.

But it seemed he would have to take a lot of time to gain anything from it.

The skills used to craft this tool are on another level, but just slightly below the broken stone stele in his hand.

He never understood the origin of the stone stele but he liked how it could take the shape of a spear and nothing could withstand its force so far.

The stele looked dark and some sought golden lines could be seen on the sides filled with unique runes. The situation however was now very bad and most of the Golden runes are covered with blood. It seemed like a huge monster was sleeping inside.

.....

Even after burning the soul of Shen Yan completely, he didn’t feel comfortable around the thing.

He thought that the beast inside had somehow fused with the surroundings.

It wasn’t the first time he had seen something he counts comprehend but he didn’t like the bloody aura the altar was releasing.

Even Ruruo was not very happy with the aura too. “This thing is indeed very evil, better take care of it first, unless it ends up developing a spirit with this state, and it might become something contorted.” Listening to Ruruo’s words, she wished he could study it faster and melt it into the metal to avoid unnecessary troubles. But how could that be easy?

This was also Wang’s thoughts but he was more or less interested in this treasure other than just

What Wang didn’t know was that this was a tool close to the level of heaven and man when in perfect shape.

To have defeated it is because Shen Yan couldn’t use the power of heaven and earth to stimulate it.

The power that the treasure could burst out could otherwise have been very scary even for individuals at the level of law domain.

Considering it had no artifact spirit, to begin with, it had indeed already fallen to a low level. In that way, even Shen Yan didn’t understand the functions of the treasure.

When artifacts acquire a spirit, it is usually bred due to the level of treasure and way of heaven and earth, thus comes understanding the total functions of the treasure.

Someone that used the means of Shen Yan is more like a false spirit.

The same way as those that capture other creatures and use them to create artifact spirits by using their souls.

A remnant soul like Shen Yan was not even the best choice, to begin with, and secondly, his state of mind was distorted.

The use of the treasure by him was just very primitive, and Wang can be said to have just taken advantage of it.

Standing next to the altar he couldn’t help but frown lightly.

The bloody aura was starting to affect the area around it. He had to take initiative to set up a formation around it.

This altar came from an evil-minded creature but he wonders sit it could have other uses.

Pushing such thoughts aside he used the heaven and earth flame to refine the blood aura and was surprised to find that it worked.

The more of the aura he burned away, the more the golden runes seemed to become more visible.

It’s a pity that even if he could convert it to something without bloody aura he had no use what to do with it other than studying it.

After having been damaged in the confrontation with Wang, the altar seemed very easy to cleanse off the bloody aura.

After all or was something without a spirit and could only count as a pseudo artifact?

But that was far from the reason for being ranked like that, rather the fact that even the tunes on its surface were incomplete.

Most artifacts are usually passed down in famines or even sects but the damage can’t even compare to the altar.

Perhaps before Shen Yan found it, it has already been through a huge battle losing its status among weapons.

He calmed down and continued to cleanse it as he studied the runes on the surface.

The other pieces that cracked from it were collected because they might have some value to him.

“This time you had all the fun, and next time if another crazy person jumped here I’ll handle it.” Ruruo was very resolute about it.

No one could blame her, but her strength was increasing but she lacks a serious life-and-death battle.

In this way, she could measure her level, and at the same time having just practiced a body art, made by herself it boosted her ego and seemed to be pushing her to try it out.

But Wang was not among the people to try on, but his level of physique was very perverted.

At the same time, she couldn’t just go ahead and start looking for people to fight but if trouble found her, then it would be a different story.

What made Wang disappointed was the fact that Shen Yan didn’t have any treasures on him or even a storage device.

Perhaps even when he killed Mojin, he didn’t put his treasures in his eyes at all or they were destroyed. But the most likely explanation might be that he was in a rush to escape from there at that time to remember an insignificant pawn like Mojin.

“This guy is a poor ghost. Other than the altar, he has nothing worth noting at all.” he was a little regretful.

Wang could guess that perhaps someone had reached this guy’s level even though he had only become a remnant soul body, but he should have some treasures stored.

” It’s time to go all out and try to step into the next stage of Qi Codex before trying to improve the nine-turn golden body. The immense spiritual energy in my body currently can be very useful. In the end, some of the immense Qi Codex drops can be used as a supplement. Instead of just accumulating it, it is best to convert it to higher qualify Qi drops.”

The pseudo artifact was a good thing and was he well connected perhaps he might be as to exchange it for something else. But in the end, he was he thought it was very dangerous to take a certain route.

“Wife, that artifact, do you think it can be worth some resources to assist in our cultivation?” he also raised this question but got a weird answer.

“Well, it depends on how valuable it is. I think if it is very valuable then whoever purchases it would not want others to be aware of this and do everything to make sure of it. Most of in some cases even not be willing to lose out in the exchange so better to just take it from you by force.” hearing this he also seemed to affirm his thoughts.

Being weak is initially a sin and owning a treasure at that it inviting calamity. Instead of going to show it off, you can better just study quietly in this place.

“Well, it’s true. Perhaps from this thing, I can manage to also take another step in weapon refinement.”

When Ruruo heard it her mouth twitched.

“That is one of your unsuccessful hobbies, and how dare you make it sound as though you are skilled in it.” she secretly thought this in her heart.

Seeing how her mouth just twitched, he was somewhat embarrassed.

“It seems that the loss of the artifact spirit has made it very easy for anyone to approach this thing. These broken parts of the altar seem to be more interesting to study too. We should start from them then and eventually focus on the whole thing after my understanding has been elevated.” he couldn’t let himself be laughed at the next time because of some skill.

He secretly planned to start his usual routine and divide it well, so that his practice is not affected in the end.

Wang even had some thoughts about the thing and used his soul to try and mater the altar, which proved more useful.

Of course, to avoid any danger he would use the fire of heaven and earth occasionally before his soul studied the altar, and after all, one couldn’t be more careful.

The altar was some foreign thing and his soul was very important thus he would occasionally do that to ensure that any problems that might exist capable of harming his soul were burned away.

In the same case, the color of the altar started to change with this operation.
