Next were two small Array Flags.
They even looked somewhat similar. Both were palm-sized with nearly identical patterns, differing only in color.
Xiao Chen had seen these items before at the Tingtao Sea auction.
If he remembered correctly, the auctioneer had specifically mentioned they were meticulously crafted by a certain Golden Body Arhat from Lianhua Temple.
Their purpose wasn’t to set up Arrays, but rather to interfere with and break Illusion Arrays.
It was said they had an excellent counter-effect against most common Illusion Arrays.
Speaking of counters, Xiao Chen also found a special bronze mirror in one of the Storage Rings.
The bronze mirror had a very pleasant name—Ink and Water.
When a Cultivator used the bronze mirror to look at themselves, they would normally see their own reflection in black and white, like an ink wash painting.
However, if they had a tracking mark left on them by an enemy.
This included tracking Tokens, special scents, Spiritual Marks, and other such pursuit methods.
In that case, threads of different colors would appear in the Ink and Water, alerting the Cultivator that they were being targeted.
The only problem was that it only served as a warning; it couldn’t directly eliminate the enemy’s tracking methods.
’Interesting. Let me take a look at myself.’
Xiao Chen raised the Ink and Water Treasure Mirror and looked at his reflection.
Unfortunately, he found no tracking marks left on him by the Tribulation Cultivators.
Although the other Storage Ring didn’t have a bronze mirror, it did contain a bottle of Clear Wind Dust-Washing Dew.
Its purpose was also to counter tracking.
The main difference was that with the Clear Wind Dust-Washing Dew, one could only determine if they were being tracked retroactively, based on whether the dew took effect after being used.
’What a coincidence.’
Xiao Chen immediately realized that if he paired the Ink and Water Treasure Mirror with the Clear Wind Dust-Washing Dew, they would complement each other perfectly.
’Wait, this doesn’t seem like a coincidence.’
He suddenly realized that all these items were meant to enhance a Cultivator’s ability to survive.
Countering poison, countering Illusion Arrays, and countering tracking.
When it came to survival, the disciples of Major Sects were indeed thoroughly prepared.
Fortunately, Xiao Chen had the Divine Protection Veil, which gave him direct immunity to poison and Illusion Arrays, so he didn’t need to worry about those two problems.
Add to that his Escape Speed, which far surpassed other Cultivators at his level.
As long as he wasn’t being pursued by a Nascent Soul True Monarch, he didn’t even have to worry about enemies tracking him. After all, they couldn’t catch him anyway.
Besides, if they did manage to catch up, it was uncertain who would be the one to suffer.
In addition, the Storage Ring also contained a set of talisman-painting tools, two Spiritual Objects, and two special letters.
It was an extremely luxurious set of talisman-painting tools.
It was luxurious because it included a full five Talisman Brushes, along with three different types of Talisman Paper and Talisman Ink.
It even came with an exquisite talisman table.
You could say that in terms of external equipment, it was basically maxed out.
’Tsk, they really prepared a lot. I wonder how many Spirit Stones this will sell for.’
Xiao Chen hadn’t really come across these kinds of things before, so it was hard for him to estimate their price.
But he figured a set would surely be more valuable than ordinary, individual tools.
As for the two Spiritual Objects, they were also quite remarkable.
The first was the fang of some kind of Nascent Soul-level Demon Beast.
Although Xiao Chen couldn’t identify the species, there was no mistaking the unique pressure that belonged to a Nascent Soul-level Demon Beast.
The second was also from the recent Tingtao Sea auction: the Tier Four Spirit Tea, Six-leaf Nourishing Spirit Tea.
It was said that long-term consumption could slowly nourish one’s Divine Sense.
’This is good stuff!’
Xiao Chen’s eyes lit up. Speaking of which, he had only recently discovered that the Star Core he had obtained on Celestial Star Island could actually be recharged.
He had been thinking that he should gather some related Spiritual Objects when he got the chance.
He never expected to see the Six-leaf Nourishing Spirit Tea right after.
’Excellent. Once the power in the Star Core is depleted, I’ll use this to replenish it!’
