When night fell, Mofan sneaked up to the rooftop.
The air in the Imperial City was even worse than the Magic City. No matter where you were, you wouldn't be able to see a complete starry sky in the middle of the night. Even the pitch-black night couldn't be seen clearly, as it would always be covered with a layer of yellow, known as light pollution.
Mofan was originally going to continue meditating tonight, to strengthen his Summoning Element that had just entered the Nebula Realm.
Who knew that the Little Loach Pendant would be a bit mischievous tonight, emitting a strange luster. This made Mofan very curious.
When he was experiencing the magic civilization these past few days, Mofan specially asked Professor Qiu Yuhua about the Revenant Artifacts.
He remembered that Zhao Manyan had said that the Soul Remnant and Soul Essence of a dead creature couldn't be seen by normal people, nor could they be collected. Only necromancers could control them.
If other Mages wanted to collect the Soul Remnant and Soul Essence, they would have to go through the Revenant Artifacts forged by necromancers …
What was the Little Loach Pendant? It was an expensive meditation magic tool, and a Revenant Artifact.
And tonight, the light emitted by this little guy was especially strange. Mofan decided to use his consciousness to probe it and find out what it was.
The Little Loach Pendant contained the complete Geyser Spring. The Geyser Spring had actually been digested more or less. The reason Yu Ang and the others were able to detect the Geyser Spring's aura was because the warm luster emitted by the Little Loach Pendant was the Geyser Spring.
It was basically impossible for the Geyser Spring to be spat out again, and the Little Loach Pendant seemed to be bound to his soul. Others couldn't take it away even if they wanted to. In other words, it was impossible for the Black Vatican to obtain the Geyser Spring.
"Little guy, what are you doing? Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night? Why are you emitting such a strange green light …" Mofan sat on the rooftop, looking at the Little Loach Pendant with a puzzled expression.
The Little Loach Pendant had been glowing with a green light ever since night fell, and it would occasionally tremble. If not for the fact that he was absolutely certain that the Little Loach Pendant was a pendant, Mofan would have suspected that it was a living creature.
Probing it with his mind, Mofan was surprised to discover that there was actually an empty space within the Little Loach Pendant.
Perhaps it was because his cultivation wasn't high enough previously, and his willpower was too weak to truly enter the world of the Little Loach Pendant. This time, Mofan felt like he was in a dimension that didn't belong to this plane, just like the first time he used the Dimensional Summon.
However, Mofan didn't panic. A place like the Three Step Pagoda had a huge secret space, so it wasn't strange for the mysterious Little Loach Pendant to have a small world. Otherwise, where would the Geyser Spring be stored, and where would the collected souls be?
His mind continued to wander. This empty space wasn't actually that big. When Mofan probed deeper, he quickly discovered an incomparably clear river in the empty space.
The aura emitted by the river water was the Geyser Spring. Presumably, a stream of spring water in the Little Loach Pendant's empty space was a gurgling river!
Mofan took a closer look. There were a few green balls of light floating above the clear river water. They looked like wisps of enlarged fireflies, floating above the river water.
The number of these green fireflies had already reached a certain scale, and they gathered together to decorate the clear river water. It was a beautiful sight. However, once he understood what these green fireflies were, Mofan didn't feel that it was a beautiful sight.
To put it more elegantly, these floating above the river water were all remnant souls.
To put it more simply, they were all souls.
When Mofan first killed Instructor Bai Yang's berserk Spirit Wolf, its soul was absorbed by the Little Loach Pendant after it died.
After that, the souls of the Magical Beasts that Mofan killed, including those from the Black Vatican, silently turned into specks of light after they died, and floated into the Little Loach Pendant.
Mofan thought that those worthless remnant souls had been eaten by the Little Loach Pendant. Who knew that they were all there, and turned into frameless green lanterns floating above the water …
Mofan was also puzzled. He didn't know that the Little Loach Pendant had a hobby of collecting these spoils of war.
Fortunately, the green lights dimmed not long after. Mofan was puzzled, but he couldn't find the reason, so he didn't waste time thinking about it.
Those were all remnant souls. Compared to the Soul Essences that could be used to make Stardust Magic Tools and Nebula Magic Tools, it was like the difference between sand and gold. If the Little Loach Pendant liked to collect them, then let it collect them. There was nothing wrong with making a pendant with a goal!
Mofan ignored the Little Loach Pendant, and immersed himself in his magic cultivation.
In the second half of the night, the Little Loach Pendant started to become restless again, and kept shaking.
Mofan opened his eyes. Just as he was about to scold the little guy, he suddenly realized that the originally scattered green light had turned into a solid radiance!
Mofan couldn't help but widen his eyes. His mouth opened so wide that it could fit a fist!
The scattered green radiance and the solid green radiance were two completely different things. The former was a Soul Remnant that was as worthless as sand, while the latter was a Soul Essence that was as valuable as gold!!!
The problem was, he clearly didn't fight, nor did he kill any Magical Beasts. Why would a Soul Essence appear in the pendant?
Furthermore, it was definitely the real deal!
Mofan hurriedly used his intent to investigate. Suddenly, he realized that the green remnant souls floating above the river had all disappeared. The entire river was empty, and there was only a Soul Essence that was shining like moonlight!
Mofan wasn't the kind of person who liked to have a pie drop from the sky. He would only dare to accept things with a clear conscience if he had a clear understanding of the situation.
This Soul Essence had come too suddenly. It was completely like picking up gold on the road …
Although he was wild with joy, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Thus, Mofan stayed up all the way until early morning with these doubts.
Early in the morning, Mofan knocked on Old Professor Qiu Yuhua's door. The old professor yawned as he looked at Mofan and said, "Up so early, what's the matter?"
"Old Professor, I just read a book about Departed Spirit Tools. It said that apart from being able to collect Soul Essences, Departed Spirit Tools also have other special abilities. I wonder if Professor knows about them? "asked Mofan.
The old professor's eyes lit up, as if he had met someone who was also a master in research. He said without any drowsiness, "What book did you read it from? It must be an ancient book. Actually, I just happened to see some small records about it in some older books … "
Mofan saw that the old professor was unable to hold back his excitement and was pretending to be mysterious. He knew that this old man had the answer he wanted. Thus, he continued to guide him in the direction he wanted to know.
Old Professor Qiu Yuhua seemed to have revealed his lifelong secret. He lowered his voice and said, "Rumor has it that there's a kind of Departed Spirit Tool. Not only can it collect Soul Essences, it also has a special liking for Soul Remnants. That's because this Departed Spirit Tool … it can condense these Soul Remnants into a complete Soul Essence! "
After hearing this, Mofan's entire body lit up!
As expected, the Little Loach Pendant had condensed all the Soul Remnants into a Soul Essence.
