The jade pendant had melted!
When Qin Hai first noticed the change in the pendant, he subconsciously felt that the pendant was melting.
However, he quickly realized that the jade pendant wasn"t ice and would never melt.
But in reality, this jade pendant was indeed melting like ice. It was like a block of ice that was being exposed to the scorching sun, melting at a speed visible to the naked eye and shrinking in size.
However, the jade pendant did not turn into a pure "water" state. Other than its constantly shrinking size, it also became very soft, similar to rubber paste or dough that had just been mixed together. It could be kneaded into any shape.
The jade pendant in Qin Hai"s hand suddenly started to twist and bulge out, shrinking at the ends. Not long after, the entire jade pendant turned into a cute and silly little pig, each of its stripes seemed to be naturally generated. Not only was it extremely delicate, it was also extremely exquisite.
As he looked at this little pig, Qin Hai was overjoyed, because he discovered that he could actually control true essence to change the shape of the jade pendant. As long as he could think of any shape, it could be completed through true essence.
Soon after, he withdrew his zhen yuan from the little pig. The little pig that was previously soft immediately became incomparably hard. Moreover, its entire body became sparkling and translucent, and it was vivid and lifelike. This surprised Qin Hai, because that piece of jade was just ordinary water, but this little pig was close to the gla.s.s type. If it wasn"t for the impurities in the middle, this jade piglet would have been close to the top quality. If he sold it, the price would have been tens or even hundreds of times higher than the base of the jade pendant.
Staring at the impurities in the little pig"s stomach, Qin Hai once again poured his true essence into the little pig according to the refining method. The little pig soon became soft again, and its size continued to shrink until it was only about half of its original size.
Soon after, as Qin Hai continued to control his Quintessential Essence to change the shape of the jade, a delicate little pig appeared once again.
Although this little pig was only a size smaller than the previous one, its body was translucent without even a speck of impurities left. Under the illumination of the lights, it shone brilliantly. It could be said to be extremely beautiful.
"Looks like the shrinking of the jade pendant was also part of the tempering process … In that case, I can also refine weapons! "
Looking at the little pig in his palm, Qin Hai was stunned for a moment. If he didn"t guess wrong, he had just finished refining this piece of jade. He only needed to inscribe the array on this little pig to turn it into a magic tool. If everything went well, this little pig would become the first magic tool he could create.
With a thought, three formations quickly appeared on Little Pig"s body. These three array formations were different from the ones that were directly carved on Little Pig"s body. This was because from the outside, it was impossible to tell that the array formation would only appear on Little Pig when activated by true essence.
Since he didn"t need to carve on the surface, theoretically speaking, it could be infinitely stacked, and could even directly turn this little pig into a high-grade yellow or even black rank magic tool.
However, in reality, it was definitely not that simple to operate. There were many array formations that countered each other, and if they were randomly superimposed, it was very likely that they would fail to produce an effect, or they might even destroy a magic tool. Moreover, if the array was superimposed too much, it would require more true essence to activate it, and there would also be a higher requirement for the material of the magic tool.
Qin Hai was not in a hurry to place a fourth array formation on Little Pig. The quality of the jade used to make this pig was average. It was very likely that the three arrays would be its limit.
After playing with the little emerald pig for a while, Qin Hai tested its effects. Compared to the jade pendant he had made before, this little pig"s defensive and offensive abilities were far greater, and the effect of Spirit Gathering was also much faster and more effective. If he could keep this little pig by his side for a long time, the benefits to his body would be obvious.
However, what Qin Hai did not understand was that when he used his Quintessential Essence to activate the little pig, the array formation on the little pig lit up not with a white light but with a faint golden color, causing him to feel somewhat baffled.
After studying refining for a while and experiencing the wonders of this half of the Book of Yin and Yang, Qin Hai developed a strong interest for the other things recorded in the Yin Yang Scripture, such as talismans and alchemy.
However, when he looked at it carefully, he quickly became immersed in it. To Qin Hai, whether it was talismans or pills, they were all new things that he had never come into contact with before. Moreover, they all possessed mysterious and unfathomable powers, so there was no need to talk about their allure. However, talisman crafting required talisman paper, cinnabar, and other materials, as well as various types of medicinal herbs and pill furnaces to refine the pill. Right now, he had no way of trying it, so after reading the Yinyang Sutra"s introduction to talismans and pill refining, he could only go to the room next door and ask Old Man Zhao in detail about talismans and pill refining various questions.
Ever since taking in Qin Hai as the Patriarch"s disciple, Old Man Zhao had been very respectful towards Qin Hai. When Qin Hai asked him any questions, Old Man Zhao answered them without hesitation, explaining every question in great detail as if he couldn"t wait to tell Qin Hai everything he knew. Qin Hai felt a little embarra.s.sed.
At the same time, just as Qin Hai had expected, after waiting bitterly for a whole day, Han Jinsong finally realized that something wasn"t right.
As early as this morning, when that a.s.sembler was clamoring to jump off the building, Han Jinsong was the first to receive the news. But what disappointed him was that Qin Hai had actually saved the a.s.sembler.
Not only that, but all the way until late into the night, other than the incident where they jumped off the building in the morning, the Scholar"s Manor was still and quiet. There were no other movements.
He had spent a huge sum of money to invite this mysterious expert. Yet, he did not manage to continue the matter regarding the Scholar"s Manor"s ghost incident, much less kill Qin Hai. This made him unable to sit still any longer.
At around 10 PM, he arrived at the villa"s door again. However, no matter how he knocked, there was no response from inside the house. When he finally took out the key to open the door and enter the villa, he found that the entire building was empty and the mysterious expert had disappeared.
The night pa.s.sed quickly. On the morning of the second day, after many inquiries, Han Jinsong finally managed to dig out a piece of news from the police station. The rumor was that someone had secretly set up a Feng Shui Great Formation in the bas.e.m.e.nt parking lot of the Scholar"s Manor, but yesterday afternoon, the police department along with experts from the national security department had jointly eliminated the murderer who had set up the Feng Shui Great Formation.
Upon hearing this news, Han Jinsong"s face immediately became pale as if he had been struck by lightning.
