This was an extremely powerful spiritual avatar that was close to having a physical body.
Although one could not see its appearance, one could see a transparent humanoid imprint in the air!
The instant it pounced towards Shirō Makino, the spiritual wave it emitted was incomparably terrifying.
Qin Ranran cried out in alarm, and subconsciously rushed towards Shirō Makino.
She was the one who brought Xiao Bai here, and she could not let anything happen to Xiao Bai here!
However, Shirō Makino's reaction was much faster than hers.
"Finally can't hold it in anymore? I've been waiting for you for a long time! "
Shirō Makino also emitted a powerful spiritual will, and the Talisman Artist's Grimoire instantly flew out from his space ring.
The grimoire emitted a dazzling light, and opened on its own.
Following that, a golden light exploded from the grimoire!
The spiritual avatar instantly let out a piercing roar, "What the hell is this? How can this power … "
Boom!
The golden light directly penetrated the spiritual avatar.
The next moment, the spiritual avatar struggled with all its might, and let out a frenzied roar.
Its attitude changed so quickly that it seemed to be schizophrenic.
"Little bastard …"
"I'm going to kill you …"
"Let me go, I'll give you everything, I have divine statues … a large number of divine statues!"
"All the treasures in this world are yours … Let me go …"
Whoosh!
The golden light disappeared.
The place returned to silence.
The Talisman Artist's Grimoire flew back into Shirō Makino's space ring.
The entire process was unbelievably fast.
A powerful, almost solid spiritual avatar disappeared without a trace, just like that.
Possession?
Snatching chicken feathers!
From the start, only the spiritual avatar thought that everything was under control, and that it could easily suppress the two little fellows.
Xiao Bai had never thought of it that way.
"Ghosts, demons, monsters, and demons." Shirō Makino spat, then looked at the dumbstruck Qin Ranran, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Qin Ranran shook her head blankly as she looked at Shirō Makino. "But you … What's going on?"
"That guy just now was a powerful spiritual body that wanted to take over our body. He's an expert from the ancient era. Through a heaven-defying method, he sealed his spiritual will in this statue and slept for eons, drifting in the river of time, waiting for his prey to come knocking … "
Qin Ranran interrupted Shirō Makino's introduction. "I've heard what you said before. What I want to ask is, how did you kill it?"
"Me? Kill it?" Shirō Makino had a humble expression on his face. "No, no. How could I possibly be that capable?"
"Where did it go?" Qin Ranran looked at him. "I think I saw a book fly out of your ring just now …"
"Yes! It went to study! " Shirō Makino said in a serious tone, "Books have their own golden houses, and books have their own beauties. This guy probably thinks that he's uncultured and wants to make up for it …"
Qin Ranran finally calmed down a little. She couldn't help but roll her eyes at Shirō Makino. "Bullsh * t!"
"Hehe, you've seen through me. That's actually one of my divine weapons, the Supreme Treasured Book!" Shirō Makino said with a serious expression.
Qin Ranran: "…"
If it wasn't for her upbringing, she would have cursed him: Supreme my ass!
In your world, every fly is a supreme fly, isn't it? Is the slipper called the Supreme Slipper? The sofa is the Supreme Sofa?
Other people have smart packages, but yours is different. It's the Supreme Sofa, right?
The fly slipper sofa is definitely not a Supreme Sofa, nor is the barbecue oven. But that staff is definitely a Supreme Sofa, because its name is the Supreme Scepter.
As for the Talisman Artist's Grimoire … Even Xiao Bai hasn't been able to unlock all of its functions and attributes.
Previously, he thought that the Talisman Techniques and various knowledge in the grimoire were awesome. But later on, he slowly realized that the grimoire itself was even more awesome!
Even using the word 'Supreme' to describe it was a little … low.
The Talisman Artist's Grimoire's thirst for spiritual power was simply frightening!
Not to mention a spiritual body that had been in a deep slumber for eons and had long become weak, no longer at its peak state. Even if a true Divine Talisman Master was here, wanting to use spiritual power to attack Shirō Makino would still be a dream!
The Talisman Artist's Grimoire was never a simple Talisman Grimoire. It was a true divine weapon. Shirō Makino had already discovered this secret when he entered the Black Domain.
As for its ability to absorb spiritual power, Xiao Bai had already discovered it on the first day he obtained it!
Deciphering a single word required spiritual power. In the beginning, even if Shirō Makino exhausted himself, he could only decipher half of the Talisman Technique.
If he hadn't brought the Talisman Artist's Grimoire with him when he entered the Black Domain, he probably wouldn't have been able to decipher even one-tenth of the Talisman Technique.
But speaking of which, Xiao Bai didn't think that the Talisman Artist's Grimoire could absorb spiritual power that much at that time.
Bai Muye didn't know what had happened in the ancient times, but in the current era, even a Great Grandmaster would not use his spiritual force to attack his opponent unless he wanted to extract memories from his opponent's spiritual sea, let alone a Divine Talisman Master who was so elusive that he couldn't even see his face.
It wasn't that this method didn't require any skills, but that most of the current Talisman Artist didn't have such skills at all!
Therefore, after being trapped this time and knowing that he was in a possession trap, it would be a lie to say that Xiao Bai wasn't nervous at all.
The reason why he flew to the sky again and again was not just to break the formation!
The formation was easy to break, but it was hard to escape!
Because the moment he arrived here, the Talisman Artist's Grimoire had already given him a strong reaction!
It clearly pointed out that there was something wrong with this statue, and wanted to rush out of Xiao Bai's space ring and directly pounce on it.
Xiao Bai didn't dare to do so, so he suppressed it.
Then, these days, he kept reading the knowledge about spiritual power and pure spiritual bodies from the Talisman Artist's Grimoire in his mind.
Afraid that the existence in the statue would notice something unusual, he could only keep flying up and pretend to break the formation.
Therefore, Xiao Bai was also confident.
Later, when the large amount of spiritual power sealed in the machines and human-shaped puppets was released, the Talisman Artist's Grimoire showed a strong reaction again.
Like a hungry baby that wanted to drink milk, it was hungry!
The Grimoire recognized its master, so Shirō Makino could feel it, but he still comforted the Talisman Artist's Grimoire at that time. Because it wasn't time yet.
Fortunately, the Grimoire had recognized it as its master, otherwise it would have rebelled at that time.
So, this spiritual entity that had survived since the Primordial Age wanted to forcefully occupy Whitey's perfect body through possession?
It was a dream from ancient times!
Unfortunately, the beautiful sister wasn't here. If she was, Shirō Makino wouldn't be afraid of this kind of thing.
Whoever wanted to enter his spiritual sea and act presumptuously would have to go through the beautiful sister first.
Such a spiritual body was a top-notch tonic to the beautiful sister.
It was a great medicine!
Unfortunately, she had left, so the Talisman Artist's Grimoire could only benefit from it.
Shirō Makino wasn't sure what would happen to the Talisman Artist's Grimoire after it devoured the spiritual body. Everything was still slowly being explored.
Anyway, there was no harm in it.
"You didn't find a way to leave this place, right?" Qin Ranran looked at Shirō Makino and asked.
Shirō Makino looked at her. "You don't have that much confidence in me?"
Qin Ranran's eyes showed a hint of surprise. "You really found a way?"
Bai Muye nodded, "That's right, I never lie."
"Come on, good-looking boys are the best at lying!" Qin Ranran curled her lips in disdain.
Shirō Makino took out a few talismans and placed them in different positions. Then, he activated the array.
Rays of light instantly lit up the underground plaza, making it as bright as day!
Qin Ranran took out a pair of large sunglasses and put them on. Then, she looked around curiously.
There were all kinds of puppet parts scattered everywhere, especially those humanoid puppet parts, which looked very scary.
All kinds of broken limbs were piled up messily, like a metal junkyard.
Looking into the distance, there was nothing.
This was an underground altar, not a treasure house at all.
No one knew what happened to this Talisman Sect in the past, but most of the people were no longer here.
An extremely small number of people sealed their spiritual will in the statues on the underground altars, and then used various methods to set up traps to lure outsiders into taking the bait.
Now, the fish had finally taken the bait. Unfortunately, they had encountered an unreasonable shark.
Not to mention the fisherman, even the ship … was about to capsize.
"They're really amazing. Through that adventurer team, they distributed a bunch of maps, and then used 'treasure hunting' to help people find the maps, tricking people into unknowingly falling into the trap …" Qin Ranran murmured. "Little White, it's all thanks to you. If it wasn't for you … I would definitely have died this time."
"So, you should focus on being a superstar in the future. The outside world is dangerous! It doesn't matter if you're willing to be a princess or not. Being able to live happily every day is better than anything else, "Shirō Makino said.
Qin Ranran was silent for a moment, then said softly, "But I still want to become stronger."
Shirō Makino looked at her. "You want to find your mother?"
Qin Ranran nodded. "She must love me very much, but she must be helpless. Otherwise … she wouldn't have given birth to me, much less sent me to Uncle Wang."
"It's not that easy to become stronger. First, you have to go bald … ahem, first of all, this path is not easy to walk." Bai Muye said, "You've seen it for yourself. You might think that today's incident is terrifying, but it's nothing because we're all alive and well. You only need to experience that kind of life and death situation once to understand how blissful it is to be able to live in peace. "
"Why do you look like an old man in his seventies or eighties, and why do you have the kind eyes of a father? You're not even as old as I am, young man! "Qin Ranran glanced at him." Hurry up and break the array! "
Shirō Makino said, "It's already broken."
"It's … broken?" Qin Ranran couldn't believe it. She looked around in confusion.
Shirō Makino nodded. "Yes, but I have a feeling that there are treasures hidden in this underground altar. We have to find them."
"Didn't you say that this is a place where they trick people? It can't be a treasure vault, right?" Qin Ranran asked doubtfully.
Shirō Makino smiled. "Do you carry your most precious things with you?"
Qin Ranran said, "Of course! As long as I can carry it, I will carry it with me. What if I lose it? "
"Isn't that it?" Shirō Makino said. "Others can do it too."
"You're saying … the spirit entity chose to seal itself here and wait for the opportunity to take over. Once it succeeds, it will take away the treasures it buried?"
"You've finally become smarter."
"I've always been smart!"
Bai Muye's eyes darted all over the place as he searched for something. The first place he searched was the base of the collapsed statue.
If it was him, he would definitely hide the treasures here. Moreover, the Talisman Artist's Grimoire had reminded him countless times.
This was the same reason why those local tycoons liked to hide their money under their beds — to sleep soundly.
After Shirō Makino cleaned up the area around the base of the statue, he found something unusual.
The base of the statue, which was level with the ground and seemed to be one with the plaza, was actually empty!
Shirō Makino used five sword talismans in a row, and under Qin Ranran's dumbfounded gaze, he forcefully blew it open.
Then, Shirō Makino found a silver ring.
He whistled and looked at Qin Ranran with a smile. "What do you think?"
"Quick, let's see what's inside!" Qin Ranran was also excited.
After so many days of holding back, they finally saw a reward.
Everyone knew that there must be something good in the ring!
Shirō Makino used his psychic power to probe it, and found that there was no spiritual seal on it, and he could open it directly.
His confidence was adorable!
The owner of the ring should be the spirit entity hidden in the statue. He had probably never considered that he would one day be suppressed by someone. Therefore, his space ring didn't even have a 'lock'.
Shirō Makino took out the items from the inside one by one.
Talismans, talisman papers, brushes, ink … Just these alone were piled up like a mountain!
There were about three hundred talismans. Even without looking at the talisman technique on them, Shirō Makino couldn't help but drool just by looking at the material of the talisman paper.
Sixty percent of them were Great Grandmaster level, the remaining thirty percent were Grandmaster level, and the remaining ten percent were Advanced level!
Qin Ranran was shocked, and her eyes were dull. She murmured, "What was the original state of this Talisman Artist? A Divine Talisman Master? "
Shirō Makino said, "Maybe."
"You can even devour the spirit entity of a Divine Talisman Master? Your Supreme Treasure Book is really powerful. "Qin Ranran suddenly thought of something, and blinked at Shirō Makino.
Obviously, she didn't believe that it was a book that could kill such a powerful spirit entity.
It was obviously an artifact that looked like a book!
Actually, Qin Ranran wasn't wrong to think so.
The Talisman Artist's Treasure Book was indeed an artifact, but it was also a book.
That was why the power of knowledge was infinite!
The mountain of talisman paper, brushes, ink, and other talisman materials made the two of them salivate. Inside the Space Ring without the Law of Time, these talisman materials were still as good as new after the passage of time.
The original owner of these materials should be a Talisman Artist who focused on support. They were basically all kinds of support-type materials.
From Grandmaster level to Great Grandmaster level, and a small portion of materials … had actually reached Deity level!
These were the real treasures.
Even a Deity level big shot usually wouldn't have many of these in stock.
That was because the cost of leveling up a skill was already an astronomical figure.
That was why to see some Deity level materials here was an unexpected surprise!
It didn't matter if they couldn't use them now, they would one day.
"Come, let's divide the spoils!" Shirō Makino pointed at the pile of talisman materials, and said generously, "Take whatever you like."
Then, he began to take out the statue. It was his first time coming into contact with this thing. After taking one out, he stared at it curiously for a long time.
It was the size of a palm, a complete statue of a human figure. The workmanship wasn't exquisite, but it had a kind of ancient aura.
With one look, one could tell that it was the work of a true master.
It was said that the statue and the Spirit Pearl were made by an Emperor-level existence. No one knew whether it was true or not, but these things weren't formed naturally.
Shirō Makino looked at the statue in his hand and was very emotional. This was a small thing that had a Grandmaster's Spirit sealed in it. If he absorbed one, his Spirit would advance by leaps and bounds.
Treasure!
A real treasure!
The Talisman Artist's Treasure Book in the Space Ring seemed to move a little, but it probably had just eaten too much. It didn't jump as much as when the puppet came out.
Shirō Makino casually threw it to Qin Ranran, who was looking at it eagerly. "Here, it's yours."
Then, he took it out again. "Mine."
He took it again. "Yours."
Then, "Mine."
Just like that, Shirō Makino took out more than 20 statues from the Space Ring in one breath.
They finished just when he was given them.
There were a total of 22 statues, 11 for each of them.
Shirō Makino couldn't help but take a deep breath. He looked at Qin Ranran and asked, "How do you feel?"
Qin Ranran didn't look at the pile in front of her. Instead, she was holding the statue that Shirō Makino had just given her in a daze.
Hearing Shirō Makino's question, she murmured, "It feels … very unreal."
"It's normal. People who win the lottery also feel this way," Shirō Makino said.
"What about you? You too? "Qin Ranran asked.
"Me? I often win the lottery, so I'm a little used to it. " Shirō Makino said casually. He waved his hand and put away the 12 statues in front of him. Then, he looked at the pile of talisman materials. "Take it. Didn't I tell you to take whatever you like? Anyway, it's a gift from that ancient senior. You don't have to stand on ceremony. "
Qin Ranran's mouth twitched. Then, she looked at Shirō Makino seriously. "I'll only take this statue for now …"
"What do you mean?" Shirō Makino looked at her. "Don't think that I'll keep it for you. Don't even think of relying on me. I might lose the statue at any time."
He had his old man at home, Old Song at Fei Da, and his parents at a distance. Although he didn't know what his parents did for a living, and his old man didn't say anything about it, what if they were Talisman Artist?
Being filial to one's elders was a traditional virtue.
He couldn't always look for them when he needed to clean up after them. Although he often did that, he still had to repay them when it was time to do so.
Qin Ranran smiled sweetly. Her smile was very beautiful. She looked at Bai Muye and softly said, "Although I'm the one who brought you here, my use is limited to this. So, I'm already taking advantage of you by taking one statue. "
"That's not fair." Shirō Makino frowned slightly. He didn't want this to happen.
Qin Ranran smiled and shook her head. "I think it's very fair. To be honest, I came here with the goal of obtaining a statue. Now, my goal has been achieved. My wish has come true! The price of a statue might seem similar to a spiritual pearl, but in reality, spiritual pearls can still be bought. As for a statue … I haven't seen anyone selling it in all these years. "
"Who told you that no one is selling it? If you spend that 500 billion, you can buy at least seven or eight statues! "Shirō Makino looked at Qin Ranran and couldn't help but ridicule her in his heart. This girl was really silly!
500 billion for a map! She didn't even want the statue that she got!
The world of the rich was really hard to understand.
"You better think it through. If you really don't want it, I won't stand on ceremony." Shirō Makino looked at Qin Ranran.
"Yes, I've thought it through! If we can find another place like this, then … then I'll be a little greedy and take another one. Is that okay? "Qin Ranran looked at Shirō Makino.
She directly gave up 11 statues and asked for a chance that might not even exist … What else could Xiao Bai say?
He looked at Qin Ranran deeply. "Alright, since you said so, I'll take it. I won't be keeping it for you. But if you need it, you can ask me for it anytime. As long as I have it with me. "
Qin Ranran smiled happily and nodded vigorously. Then, she ran to the pile of talisman materials and started to pick and choose.
Shirō Makino was a little embarrassed, but he didn't want to give a gift to King Qi!
He believed that Qin Ranran wouldn't betray him, just like how Qin Ranran trusted him.
However, he didn't think that if King Qi asked for it, Qin Ranran would not let go of those statues. After all, he was Qin Ranran's uncle!
Although the possibility wasn't high, what if?
"By the way, isn't your father younger than King Qi? Why do you call King Qi uncle instead of uncle? "Shirō Makino looked at Qin Ranran, who was squatting down and choosing materials, and suddenly thought of this question.
"When I was young, I asked him. He said he was afraid that I would call him old," Qin Ranran replied casually.
Shirō Makino: "…" King Qi actually had such a side to him?
It felt like King Qi had suddenly turned from a mortal enemy to a person of flesh and blood. He hurriedly shook his head to dispel this terrifying thought.
An enemy was an enemy.
"But I heard from Liang Lu, who was by his side, that it was because Uncle Wang felt that my father died because of him. The dead are respected, and the respected are respected. That's why he asked me to call him uncle and asked the emperor to give me the title of princess. "
As Qin Ranran spoke, she picked out about one-tenth of the talisman materials. Then, she looked at the completed talismans and hesitated. "These completed talismans … can I take more?"
"Take them all." Shirō Makino waved his hand.
"Huh?" Qin Ranran was taken aback.
"I don't like to use talismans drawn by others." Shirō Makino said.
Qin Ranran looked at Shirō Makino suspiciously. To be honest, she didn't believe Shirō Makino's words.
The truth was that Xiao Bai was compensating her for not taking away the statues.
It was hard to say which was more valuable, the talismans or the statues.
In the long run, the statues were definitely more valuable. After all, they were treasures that could increase one's spiritual power and cultivation. However, a powerful talisman could also save one's life at a critical moment!
These talismans were not just for support. There were also many offensive talismans with elemental attributes!
Even though Qin Ranran was a high-level Talisman Artist with average talisman control and almost zero combat experience, she could use the master-level talismans among these talismans to unleash strength far beyond her own.
If it was in the hands of Shirō Makino, it would be even more terrifying.
"Really." Shirō Makino had a serious look on his face.
"You … I can't tell which of your words are true and which are false." Qin Ranran looked at Xiao Bai helplessly. "I can't use many of these talismans at all. They are all master-level …"
"Then we'll talk about it when you reach the master-level," Shirō Makino looked at her and said, "Also, let me emphasize that I'm not lying. I'm a reliable person!"
Qin Ranran chuckled. Then, she stared at Shirō Makino for a moment and smiled proudly. "Then I won't stand on ceremony. Look, the value of these talismans far exceeds my 500 billion, right?"
As he spoke, he kept all the talismans into his space ring.
Shirō Makino was speechless. However, he had to admit that the value of these talismans was indeed incomparable to 500 billion.
He felt that money didn't mean much in the world after reaching the master-level.
When one reached the god level, the things that he needed could not be bought with money. Basically, it was bartering with items of equivalent value.
Shirō Makino kept the remaining talisman materials one by one and sorted them into his space ring.
The materials were still the best!
Talismans were always made by oneself. It was only convenient to use them!
Talismans drawn by others belonged to others in the end.
When one was at a low level, there wasn't much of a problem. However, once one reached a higher level, the feeling would become more obvious.
This was because every Talisman Artist's method of using their mental strength was more or less different.
Therefore, once the mental strength used to draw the talisman was out of sync with the mental strength used to control the talisman, the power of the talisman would be greatly reduced!
However, for a rookie like Qin Ranran, it was difficult for her to feel this with her current level of talisman control.
She was too busy being happy.
She was like a beautiful village girl looking at her harvest of corn.
Unfortunately, among these talisman materials, there were very few that could be used to make attribute talismans.
It seemed that even in ancient times, top-notch attribute materials were hard to come by.
Shirō Makino had used up more than half of the talisman materials from Qi Emperor's birthday gift when he fought those puppets. Although the experience of many types of talisman techniques was increasing, it still hurt him a lot.
However, the heavens were fair and quickly compensated him.
This batch of materials, regardless of quality or level, far surpassed Qi Emperor's batch!
It made Xiao Bai feel a little inflated.
In addition to this batch of idols — —
Really inflated!
Twenty-one idols could increase his mental strength by 8400 points!
Including his current 400 points, if everything went smoothly, he could use these idols to push himself to the peak of the grandmaster realm!
Shackles might be like a heavenly moat to others, but to him, at least before he reached the grandmaster realm, there was absolutely no problem.
Just like how a brainiac knew that his knowledge was enough to pass those examinations, Xiao Bai was also very clear about his situation on the path of Talisman Artist!
The shackles of breaking through from Master to Grandmaster was a big test for him, but he still had the confidence to break through it in the shortest time possible!
