Xia Pingan took out the Water-Repelling Bead. Wherever the blue brilliance reached, the seawater in the conch shell would be pushed away by an invisible force and be discharged from the shell.
All of a sudden, the inside of the conch shell became clean and bright.
"Haha, Liu Yiqian, your Water Dispelling Pearl is quite useful. This pearl can be said to be a treasure for hiding at the bottom of the sea …" Xia Pingan said, then placed the cage containing Liu Yiqian to the side.
"Jiji …" Liu Yiqian turned over in the cage and seemed to have understood his identity at this moment. Liu Yiqian wanted to say something, but Xia Pingan didn't want to listen to his nonsense at this moment and let him stay in the cage.
There was no air underwater, neither was there in the conch shell. However, the magic of the Water-Repelling Bead was that when it discharged the seawater, the oxygen in the water was retained by the Water-Repelling Bead.
The place where the energy barrier of the Water-Repelling Bead was in contact with the seawater was like an invisible membrane. That membrane filtered the air in the seawater, allowing people to breathe inside.
It was the first time that Xia Pingan used the Water-Repelling Bead, so he wasn't familiar with its characteristics. He even released the Boy of Fortune to take a look!
The Boy of Fortune flew to the outside of the huge conch shell and circled around it. He found that the huge conch shell didn't look abnormal from the outside. He couldn't see the faint blue light inside and the seawater outside the conch shell wasn't discharged. The range of the energy field of the Water-Repelling Bead was inside the conch shell and was restricted by the space structure inside the conch shell. This made Xia Pingan feel relieved at once. In this way, such a conch shell hiding in the coral reef at the bottom of the sea was completely inconspicuous.
Then, Xia Pingan took out Liu Yiqian's formation plate and directly activated it in the conch shell. With the activation of the formation plate, the inside of the conch shell suddenly became a secret room, which ensured its safety. Even if an expert came to make trouble, he would be trapped in the formation.
Looking at the conch shell in front of him, Xia Pingan sighed with emotion. "This is really a Dao field inside a conch shell …"
Yes, this huge conch would be Xia Pingan's Taoist field and residence for a period of time. This place was far away from the uproar and disputes in the Undead Ocean. Additionally, nobody would disturb him. It was the right place for Xia Pingan to cultivate for a period of time. At least, he had to deal with the matter of his substitute first.
It had been almost three days since he left Earth. Xia Pingan did not know the situation of his doppelganger. If it was going to be killed, it would have been killed long ago. He had already prepared for the worst. At worst, he could just find another one. Thinking of this, Xia Pingan's state of mind completely calmed down and he was no longer anxious.
There was no point in being anxious. He had to deal with the matter in front of him that was related to his life first.
Xia Pingan found a place to sit down comfortably. Leaning against the inner wall of the conch shell, he took out the formation plate of his tortoiseshell's Five Elements Upside Down Eight Trigrams Sword Formation.
This formation plate had saved his life when the Abyssal Worm King raided the Undead City. Of course, Xia Pingan would not forget that this thing was very useful.
The formation plate of the tortoiseshell's Five Elements Upside Down Eight Trigrams Sword Formation had been damaged. Xia Pingan planned to repair it now.
After taking out the formation plate, Xia Pingan took out a pile of gold coins, as well as a few pieces of strange black metal that he had obtained from Liu Yiqian. Then, he prepared to repair the formation plate.
Those pieces of black metal were extremely black, as if they could absorb light. When he held them in his hand, their weight was almost twice that of gold. The characteristics of this metal made Xia Pingan think of Taiyi Black Gold. However, he had never seen Taiyi Black Gold before. He had only seen it in secret books, so he was not sure. Xia Pingan dipped a bit of his secret mandala's divine power into the metal, but it was absorbed by the metal like a sponge. This characteristic was very similar to Taiyi Black Gold.
Xia Pingan took out a piece of pitch-black metal and directly asked Liu Yiqian in the cage, "Is this Taiyi Black Gold? If it is, nod. If it isn't, shake your head. If you lie to me, I will break one of your fingers!"
Liu Yiqian in the cage naturally understood. Liu Yiqian, who had transformed into a monkey, clasped his hands and desperately nodded.
This bastard Liu Yiqian indeed had some good stuff. This Taiyi Black Gold was one of the rare metals that was ten thousand times more precious than gold. You might not even be able to buy it with money. These precious metals were used by big shots to create soul tools, saint tools, or high-grade formation plates. In Liu Yiqian's spatial equipment, there were about three to five hundred jin of Taiyi Black Gold.
Now that he knew it was Taiyi Black Gold, things would be easier.
Xia Pingan picked up a piece of Taiyi Black Gold, formed a secret hand seal, and began to refine it.
That piece of Taiyi Black Gold floated in front of Xia Pingan, and in the blink of an eye, it was surrounded by a ball of high temperature blue flames. Ordinary flames could not melt Taiyi Black Gold. Therefore, when melting Taiyi Black Gold, one had to use divine power as a catalyst to inject divine power into the Taiyi Black Gold. Only then would the Taiyi Black Gold melt under the high temperature and become malleable.
As Xia Pingan injected his divine power, the piece of Taiyi Black Gold melted under the high temperature.
Then, Xia Pingan grabbed the gold coin in front of him and rubbed it with his hand. The gold coin was crushed into fine powder. The fine powder fell from the sky and turned into drops of golden liquid. The drops of golden liquid dripped onto the Tai Yi Black Gold that had already melted into liquid.
Taiyi Black Gold could not be directly used for cooking. It had to be formed into an alloy with gold. However, the golden ratio had to be controlled very strictly. It could only be added drop by drop after melting. If the ratio was not controlled well, the Taiyi Black Gold would explode and be difficult to use.
After fusing with more than 6 gold coins' worth of golden liquid, the Taiyi Black Gold instantly turned from black to dark purple. That's enough. Xia Pingan stopped at once.
Then Xia Pingan formed a seal and the melted deep purple liquid was absorbed by his disk array bit by bit. It turned into a purple liquid film and enveloped the disk array.
In the blink of an eye, some of the cracks on the formation disk of the Five Elements Inverted Eight Trigrams Sword Formation were filled and repaired by the purple liquid of Taiyi Black Gold. The six golden turtles on the formation disk flew out and made way for the six formation devices on the formation disk. Then, the purple liquid of Taiyi Black Gold gradually turned into six golden turtles under Xia Pingan's hand gesture.
The six golden turtles returned to their array positions.
After the excess purple liquid of Taiyi Black Gold repaired the disk array, the rest was absorbed by the disk array.
After Xia Pingan finished his work, he stretched out his hand, and a somewhat luxurious and profound tortoiseshell Five Elements Inverted Eight Trigrams Sword Formation with a tinge of purple in gold steadily fell into Xia Pingan's hand.
Compared to the previous disk array, this new disk array was not only completely repaired, but the array base of the disk array was also strengthened by the Taiyi Black Gold. Its endurance was greatly increased. The six golden turtles in the array tool had all become materials of the Taiyi Black Gold. The defensive power of the disk array directly increased by more than 40%. Even if there was a huge change like the one in the Immortal City, this disk array would be able to last longer.
When he cracked Liu Yiqian's disk array, Xia Pingan had some insights on the structure of chain arrays and disk arrays. However, he did not test it at this moment. He first repaired and strengthened the old disk array so that it could be used.
Once the disk array was repaired, three to four hours passed.
While Xia Pingan was repairing the disk array, Liu Yiqian who was in the beast cage had been watching with his eyes wide open. He was incomparably quiet, his gaze focused and his expression grave. Occasionally, a strange glint would flash across his eyes. Liu Yiqian seemed to understand why he was ambushed when he was recovering in the cave — — the person in front of him was a powerful array master.
However, how did this array master know his name and whereabouts?
Liu Yiqian faintly felt that this array master seemed to be related to Xia Pingan. However, he was a wily old fox and did not ask. No, Xia Pingan simply did not give him a chance to speak.
There were still countless mysteries filling Liu Yiqian's head.
Xia Pingan put away the disk array, glanced at Liu Yiqian, and continued to make things.
This time, silver coins melted in front of Xia Pingan. Under the spell and flame, two hours later, a palm-sized lifelike silver puppet spider puppet appeared on Xia Pingan's palm.
As Xia Pingan forced a drop of blood onto the puppet spider's head, the puppet spider's body shook violently. Its eyes opened at once, and then it crawled around on Xia Pingan's hand with incomparable agility.
This mechanical puppet spider was a level one mechanical puppet in the 《Kunlun Formation Mechanisms Collection》. It was called the Iron Guard Spider. The Collection had its refining blueprint and related spell techniques.
To a mechanical engineer, using secret techniques to create puppets and all kinds of mechanical beasts was a completely different level of creation compared to engineers creating cars and robots. One of them followed the laws of physics, while the other followed the laws of magic. The two of them used completely different energy systems. The former's energy came from electricity, oil, and other energy sources. The energy had to be drawn from the outside world, while the latter's energy came from the core of the Five Elements Array in the refining blueprint. The former was to create mechanical products, while the latter was more like creating a simple life with a mechanical appearance. Some of the high-level mechanical puppets even had considerable intelligence and the ability to learn by themselves.
Seeing that Xia Pingan had actually created a silver spider puppet, Liu Yiqian in the cage looked at Xia Pingan with an even stranger expression.
Formation Masters and Machine Engineers, these two occupations were not compatible, but this person in front of him actually knew both.
Looking at this small silver spider, Xia Pingan revealed a smile. Machine Engineers were actually the occupation that could let people regain their childhood memories the most. Xia Pingan wanted to test the abilities of this level one mechanical puppet.
He took out a silver coin, flicked it on his finger, pointed at the silver coin, and gave the order to kill in his heart. The silver spider puppet in his hand suddenly bounced up more than two meters high. A silver light flashed in the air, and the silver coin split into two, falling down from the air.
Then, the spider puppet landed steadily on the ground.
Liu Yiqian was still watching from the side. He did not expect Xia Pingan to point at Liu Yiqian in the cage and say to the spider puppet, "If it leaves the cage, kill it …"
The spider puppet understood and nodded. Then, it nimbly ran to the front of the beast cage, squatted down in front of Liu Yiqian, and stared at Liu Yiqian.
In the past, Liu Yiqian would never have placed such a small toy that could only deal with ordinary people in his eyes. But now, he was just a monkey. Looking at the broken silver coin on the ground, Liu Yiqian only felt bitterness in his mouth …
