Inside the palace, in the Magic Weapon Shop!
"Yu Haoran, the chessboard is fake!"
Thaling did not want to say much after he made a mistake in his judgment of Emperor Wu's portrait in the Elixir Shop. He did not want to embarrass himself in front of Yu Haoran if he made a mistake.
However, Thaling could not help but remind him in the face of his proficiency in refining weapons and Yu Haoran's wrong focus.
"Thaling, don't just focus on the chessboard. Look at the chess pieces on it." Yu Haoran also reminded him in response to Thaling's reminder.
"Chess pieces!"
After hearing Yu Haoran's reminder, Thaling first used his Divine Sense to check the chessboard, then used his eyes to observe it again. He found that the chess pieces on the chessboard were also fake.
Seeing that Thaling still did not find anything special about the chess pieces, Yu Haoran reached out and picked up a white chess piece. The white chess piece jumped up and down with his five fingers.
Then, he flicked the white chess piece that landed on his index finger into the air and shouted, "Formation!"
The white chess piece that was flicked into the air instantly turned into a majestic soldier puppet whose cultivation had reached the peak of the first-grade Martial Saint realm.
"This, this, this is the long-lost secret technique of casting beans into soldiers!" Looking at the white chess piece that had turned into a soldier puppet, Thaling was once again extremely shocked and shouted in a daze.
"That's right!"
Nodding, Yu Haoran confirmed and explained.
"It's the magic weapon that a Spell Master who is proficient in the Dao of Spells and a Puppet Master refined!"
His five fingers moved slightly, then he pointed at the soldier puppet. The soldier puppet instantly turned back into a white chess piece and automatically returned to Yu Haoran's hand.
Then, he looked down at the 181 black chess pieces and 179 white chess pieces on the chessboard. A trace of pain flashed across his face.
If he could successfully leave the Stars Chess with the three hundred and sixty-one chess pieces, he would not need the help of Zhai Xing and the others at all. He could easily fend off all the Martial Saints of the Imperial Clan Court with just the chess pieces that could turn into soldier puppets, giving him a chance to use his supreme artifact.
However, in the process of seizing the treasures, there was no telling how many chess pieces would be destroyed by the guardians of the treasures.
However, no matter how many pawns he had to lose, he had to get his hands on that ultimate ritual implement. Otherwise, he would not be able to kill the Palace Lord of the Imperial Clan, Qin Baijun, and fulfill his promise to Qin Lingfei. He would also not be able to intimidate those cultivators who were greedy for him.
With a wave of his hand, Yu Haoran collected the 361 Go pieces. He then turned to look at Zhai Xing and the other two. He discovered that aside from the Heavenly Net that Frost had discovered in the beginning, Zhai Xing and Five Scatter had not found anything else. He could not help but shake his head in disappointment.
Things were often like this. The most precious treasure was clearly placed in front of you, but your attention was often elsewhere.
"Brother Du, look at the book to your left."
After hearing Yu Haoran's reminder, Five Scatter subconsciously lowered his head to look at the book placed on the counter. His eyes immediately revealed a puzzled expression.
According to the style of the book and the position of its placement, it was obviously a ledger used to record the transactions of magic tools. It was impossible for it to be a refined magic tool.
However, when he thought of Yu Haoran's omniscient and omnipotent methods, Five Scatter still listened to his reminder and reached out to take the book.
Then, he shockingly discovered that the book placed on the counter was far heavier than he had imagined. He immediately knew that he had been wrong.
Taking a deep breath, Five Scatter mobilized his Origin Energy in his palms. He lightly shouted and then tried to lift the book with both hands.
In the end, the book did not move at all. His previous actions had been a waste of energy. This made Five Scatter even more shocked.
One had to know that mobilizing the Origin Energy of a peak Sixth Grade Martial Saint could almost directly lift a small hill that was around a hundred meters tall.
How could a mere book that seemed to only weigh a few grams have such a heavy weight?
Five Scatter did not believe it and directly mobilized his Soul Power. He planned to use his Soul Power and Origin Energy at the same time, as well as the strength of his physical body to try.
However, Yu Haoran, who did not want to continue wasting time, could not help but remind him.
"Brother Du, since it's a magic tool, could it be that you can't first simply refine it and see what kind of treasure this book is? Then, think about whether your previous actions were laughable or not."
After hearing Yu Haoran's reminder, Five Scatter could not help but slap his forehead. His face instantly revealed a vexed expression.
Then, he smiled apologetically at Yu Haoran. Then, he hurriedly used the sacrificial refining method to refine the book.
And just as he finished refining the book, the book placed in front of the counter immediately turned into a streak of yellow light and entered Five Scatter's sea of consciousness.
When Five Scatter used his soul to truly understand the origins of the book, he could not help but ask Yu Haoran in shock.
"Brother Yu, could this be the legendary Ten Thousand Beasts Diagram that can seal all the strange beasts in the world and transform them into your own beast pet?!"
"It's true that it can seal strange beasts, but it's not the legendary Ten Thousand Beasts Diagram. It's just an imitation of a top-grade Emperor Stage artifact by a grandmaster whose Tools Method cultivation has reached the peak."
Faced with Five Scatter's shocked questioning, Yu Haoran shook his head and explained.
Then, he gestured for Five Scatter to take out the book again and let him open the first page of the book.
And on the first page of the book, there was a lifelike red scorpion printed on it.
"Brother Du, the reason why I brought you into the magic tool shop is mainly for this imitation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Diagram."
"Because the grandmaster who refined this imitation of a top-grade Emperor Stage artifact is also an expert who is proficient in poison, and his cultivation has reached the peak of the ninth level of the Martial Saint Realm."
"Through the imitation of the Ten Thousand Beasts Diagram, this expert, who is proficient in poison and tools methods, sealed many poisonous Emperor Stage and Saint Stage strange beasts."
At this point, Yu Haoran put away the smile on his face and glanced at Zhai Xing, Bing Shuang, and Five Scatter one by one.
"Brother Feng, Sister Bing Shuang, Brother Du!"
Then, he warned with a serious expression.
"Next, I'll bring you to a treasured place suitable for cultivation. With the help of the treasured place's environment, you must quickly refine your artifacts and restore them to their peak state."
"Because what we're going to do next is the real challenge after entering the Kai Yang Graveyard space. If you're not careful, you might die here."
"Brother Yu, don't worry, we'll remember!" Zhai Xing, representing Five Scatter and Bing Shuang nodded with a serious expression and promised.
Turning his head to look at the magic tool shop, Yu Haoran took a deep breath, then stepped out of the shop.
Following the spacious street, Yu Haoran tried his best to avoid the puppets on the street until he reached the end of the street, where he stopped in an independent courtyard.
"Brother Yu, what is this place?"
