Seeing that the array had started working again, Chen Mobai could finally heave a sigh of relief.
He wanted to sit down and rest, but when he saw the two bodies in the water mansion, he wasn’t in the mood.
Once he closed his eyes, he felt as if both of them had died with a grievance.
However, Chen Mobai had no experience in dealing with corpses. He paced back and forth in the hall and saw the dead fish. He wondered if he should throw them into the water outside the array and let the fish eat them clean.
However, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Mobai shook his head.
Although he did not know where the Eastern Wastelands was, he had been addicted to all kinds of criminal investigation dramas since he was young. Thus, he felt that the fish here should not be so fierce that they could completely destroy the evidence.
In order to prevent the corpses from floating to the surface and being discovered by the cultivators of the Eastern Wastelands, Chen Mobai felt that the safest way was to completely eliminate the traces of their existence in this water mansion.
However, how should he eliminate the traces?
Chen Mobai walked back and forth with a frown. He thought of burning the corpses with fire. However, not to mention that he did not cultivate the Firelight Technique, even if the temperature was high enough, it was impossible for an ordinary third-year student like him to burn the corpse in this sealed space.
Finally, he walked back to the old man’s torn body. He resisted his body’s instinctive reaction and was about to turn away when he saw the sealed stone door of the side hall.
“Right, I can use the restriction here.”
Thinking of the first time he had tested the restriction with a coin, which had been vaporized by the ghostly blue lightning, Chen Mobai felt that his idea should work.
Without further ado, he immediately went into action.
It was mainly because Chen Mobai really did not want to stay with the corpses anymore.
He used the Vertical Raising Spell that he was most proficient in to pick up one of the old man’s arms. Then, he threw it towards the stone door of the middle side hall.
There was a hiss!
As expected, without the protection of spiritual power and barrier this time, the bloodstained arm directly turned into a large bloody mist under the impact of the dark blue lightning, slightly dyeing the floor tiles red. The blood that splattered on the stone door triggered the power of the restriction again.
Sizzle…
After that, the entire water mansion was immersed in the constant flickering and flashing of lightning.
After five trips, the old man’s body was finally disposed of.
To Chen Mobai’s surprise, the restriction on the stone door of the side hall seemed to have weakened a little.
“It seems that the restrictions in the side hall are not connected to the spiritual veins in the entire water mansion. This makes it much easier to break the restrictions.”
An outstanding array master would link a few important buildings to the entire spiritual vein array when setting up the protective array. This way, as long as the array was not broken and the spiritual vein did not dissipate, the power of the restrictions on the buildings would immediately recover.
Although this Jade Water Array was not bad, it was obvious that the person who set up the array had simply bought array discs and array flags. They had copied the array without an attempt at originality.
After Chen Mobai finished dealing with the old man’s corpse, he discovered that there was a bloodstained cloth pouch on the floor tiles. With the principle of caution, he used the Vertical Raising Spell to lift the cloth pouch into the air and then poured out the contents.
A pile of items was poured out with a crash.
Aside from a dozen neatly cut strips of gold, there were two books, three bottles of pills, a short knife, and a change of robes.
Chen Mobai’s breathing quickened when he saw the gold. Although the value of this thing was not as good as in the previous civilized era, it was still a cultivation material in the immortal sect. Be it gold powder that had been mixed with special craftsmanship to be used for writing talismans or gold essence that was produced after refinement, there was a huge market for it.
These dozen or so pieces of gold were roughly worth more than 800 Karma Points. If they were handled well, he could earn nearly 1,000 Karma Points.
Chen Mobai, who had never had so much money since he was young, felt a little uneasy.
Then, he picked up the two books and flipped through them. One should be the old man’s cultivation technique, the Black Water Technique. Chen Mobai put it down after reading it. Now was not the time to study it.
After reading the title of the other book, he could not help but breathe heavily.
The book was called “Explanations of the Jade Water Array”.
This was actually the manual for the entire protective array in the water mansion. Chen Mobai originally thought that the old man was lying when he said that he was the disciple of the water mansion’s master. Now that he saw this book, he felt that it might be true.
However, this array formation book was a little thick. Chen Mobai looked at his phone. There was only an hour left before class started, so he didn’t study it carefully.
Furthermore, at that moment, another thought occurred to him. Could he take these things with him when he returned to the city?
With this question in mind, he began to dispose of the brown-clad youth’s body.
At this moment, he had experience. First, he flipped the young man up and down with the Vertical Raising Spell. Sure enough, he found six hidden pockets in the sleeves of the brown-clothed young man.
He found a bottle of pills, two jade-white stones, a collapsible crossbow, and a book titled “Flying Needle Sect Disciple’s Manual”.
Then, he opened the palm-sized needle box in the brown-robed youth’s hand and collected the khaki flying needles that he had shot everywhere. Satisfied, Chen Mobai took the items from the old man’s cloth bag and piled them together.
Then, after Chen Mobai finished vaporizing the corpse with the restriction at the stone door again, he used the old man’s changing robe as a rag and wiped all the blood stains in the entire water mansion.
The floor tiles in front of the door leading to the side halls were all wiped clean by using the Vertical Raising Spell to finely control the robes from a distance. Even the fish was put away.
Everything was neat and tidy again. Chen Mobai felt a sense of accomplishment one experienced after cleaning up their house.
He sat down in the middle of the hall, in front of the pile of spoils he had worked so hard to retrieve.
The old man’s cloth bag was also stained with some blood. Chen Mobai thought it was bad luck and it was useless. Thus, he took off his shirt and laid it on the floor tiles. Then, he put all the items he collected on it.
In the end, he touched the two jade-white stones. A gentle and pure wave of spiritual energy rushed into the meridians in his palm like a warm current, making Chen Mobai shiver and almost shout out in pleasure.
“This… Could it be… A Spirit Stone!”
If the previous items had only made Chen Mobai excited, then these two jade-white stones made him completely lose his composure.
One had to know that this thing was as priceless as the gold from the previous civilization on Planet Earth.
However, at the same time, due to the lack of resources on Planet Earth, all the Spirit Stone mines had long been explored. Apart from the war, all the Spirit Stone mines were not allowed to be mined.
Even so, according to the latest financial report from the immortal sect, the Spirit Stone reserves on the entire Planet Earth were already in danger.
If it weren’t for the fact that a genius had appeared in the immortal sect 2,000 years ago and invented a strange technique that could transform dry Spirit Stones into 80% of their freshly mined and unused state by infusing them with spiritual energy, the immortal sect’s Karma Points system would have completely collapsed because there weren’t enough Spirit Stones to exchange for.
However, even so, the immortal sect only allowed cultivators to go to the bank to exchange their Karma Points for Spirit Stones during the war.
Ten thousand Karma Points could be exchanged for an inferior-grade Spirit Stone.
