Chapter 592: Mystic Level Artifact!
Chapter 592: Mystic Level Artifact!
After Lin Xuan Qi opened the huge chest, a puppet that was at his height laid inside it.
Its limbs and body were pretty much the same as his.
If not for the fact that the Natal Puppet’s face was just a smooth surface, he thought that the Sima Family might have put his face on it.
Thankfully, they didn’t.
Even though Sima Ye knew that it was him, and Lin Xuan Qi knew that Sima Ye knew, both of them had the tacit understanding to keep quiet about it.
Lin Xuan Qi took a few steps closer to the chest.
The Natal Puppet was made of a dark metal that was as dark as the night.
There were a few crystals embedded in the torso of the Natal Puppet and they were arranged in the formation of the Beidou Seven Stars.
Overall, the Natal Puppet gave off a chilling aura and was cold to the touch when Lin Xuan Qi’s fingers brushed upon it.
He had reached into the chest and picked up the envelope that was inside it.
After taking out the letter written by Sima Yu to him inside the envelope, he nodded his head while he read the content of the letter.
The puppet was made of the most precious metal in Da Qian Dynasty that the Sima Family had access to.
Which was the Heavenfrost Essence Metal, found within the glaciers in the distant north, untouched since the primordial era.
It had absorbed the Yin essence of the glaciers and the moon. The blizzards also forged it to be stronger for thousands and thousands of years.
The attribute made it possible for the metal to freeze the Spirit Qi of the opponent when the Natal Puppet was powered by Spirit Stones.
And the Spirit Stones could be placed through an opening on the dantian of the Natal Puppet.
Lin Xuan Qi was eager to see how the Five-Element Stone would work with it instead of powering it with Spirit Stones.
But there was something else that was important written in the letter.
If he could infuse the Natal Puppet with a soul, the Natal Puppet’s powers would be able to take on the skills that the soul had.
And once the Natal Puppet was infused with a soul, it would then be able to make use of Artifacts and talismans just like any cultivator.
That was something crucial and intriguing to him.
Imagine the usefulness of the Natal Puppet with the disguise talismans and invisible talismans.
There were so many things that he could do with it, but unfortunately, he couldn’t think of anyone that he could take in as a soul for the time being.
Lin Xuan Qi sighed and nodded his head when he read the last sentence in the letter.
The Natal Puppet was an Artifact that was at Mystic Level and could be at the Immortal Level for an Artifact once it was infused with a soul.
Although he didn’t have any candidate for a soul yet, even when it’s at Mystic Level, it was already above the Mortal, Earth, and Heaven Level for an Artifact.
The highest level of Artifact he had ever seen was at Heaven Level so far.
Hence, he wasn’t in that much of a hurry to get a soul to be infused with it.
He would need to figure out how to cultivate it as his Natal Spiritual Artifact first.
"Master Lin, what this? Me curious." Zhi Yong had been waiting to find out what was in the chest for the whole day, and he was now very curious to see the Natal Puppet in action.
"Yeah. It’s the first time that I’ve seen something like this." Lee He Song chuckled and asked.
Lin Xuan Qi kept the letter, glanced at the Natal Puppet lying in the wooden chest and said, "It will be my Natal Spiritual Artifact once I figure out how to do it.
"You will need to have one of your own when you get to Core Formation Level."
Zhi Yong scratched the back of his head and nodded with a grin.
It sounded complicated but it must be something good.
Lee He Song patted on the scabbard of his Nine Yin Ice Sword and said, "This would suffice when the time comes."
Lin Xuan Qi gave him a smile but he thought otherwise in his mind.
Best for him to try and get something better than the Nine Yin Ice Sword if he could.
And he hadn’t seen Huo Fei Li and Lu Ting for a very long time.
It might be a great opportunity to pay them a visit to find out more about the situation in the north at the same time.
But that would have to wait since Zhi Yong and Lee He Song were at Foundation Establishment Level Mid Stage with two more stages to go before they ascended to Core Formation Level.
There was nothing else they could do but focus on their cultivation in the time being.
Lin Xuan Qi took out his Daoist Five-Element Cultivation Techniques manuscript and he flipped to the pages that were about cultivating the Natal Spiritual Artifact.
He read that he would have to use his blood as a medium to establish a connection with the Artifact, before he could then cultivate it as if it were a living Artifact.
And that was what he did next.
Lin Xuan Qi sliced his finger open and he used the blood that oozed out from the wound to draw the scriptures that were depicted in the manuscript.
Once he was done, he closed his eyes and chanted the spell to connect the Natal Puppet with him.
The blood gave out a red glow with every word he spoke, and the body of the Natal Puppet also gave out a dark glow at the same time.
Lee He Song and Zhi Yong stopped what they were doing and they glanced at the sight in front of them.
But that was not all.
Other things were also happening unseen to the eyes.
Within Lin Xuan Qi’s Spiritual Sea, a figure in the form of the Natal Puppet appeared.
It stood in front of him and when he got closer to it, the Natal Puppet bowed at Lin Xuan Qi.
