"Who is so wasteful of treasure, actually making a treasure like living gold into a carving knife, and it's even broken?" Ilex's face was a little dark, and also a little pained.
If Senior knew who did it, Senior would probably directly blast them to death with a set of Undead Magic. This is a waste of heavenly resources.
Only those who know the value of living gold understand how hateful doing this is.
"Shi Yu doesn't know either. This thing is what Shi Yu bought at the auction house two days ago. At that time, there was a lot of impure evil energy on this carving knife. Shi Yu spent a lot of effort to purify it and reveal its true form," Shi Yu said, handing the broken piece of living gold carving knife to Ilex.
The carving knife was broken about halfway down the blade; including the handle, about three-quarters of the original remained.
As Shi Yu handed the knife over, Shi Yu glanced at the broken mark a few more times, feeling a little uneasy.
This broken part was naturally broken by Shi Yu using the power of Space inside the Storage Soul Tool just now.
Shi Yu would give the living gold to Ilex, but Shi Yu didn't say how much.
living gold is rare and precious, so Shi Yu thought of keeping a little, perhaps it could play a role at a critical moment.
So Shi Yu took the risk of breaking off a part. Fortunately, after being purified, this living gold was brand new and translucent, not old at all.
From the break mark, it was also impossible to tell if it was just broken or broken a long time ago.
Ilex used Soul Power to lift the living gold closer, examined it carefully, and didn't find any problems.
The look in Senior's eyes when looking at the living gold was a little fervent. With this thing, Senior's incomplete soul would be better nourished.
"We are even now. I hope you won't reveal my existence to others," Ilex instructed.
"Senior, please rest assured. Shi Yu will definitely keep it a secret and act as if Shi Yu has never seen Senior," Shi Yu guaranteed, feeling relieved that Shi Yu wasn't discovered.
Ilex had Huo Yuhao temporarily put away the living gold and then returned to Senior's spiritual sea.
"I hope you can keep it a secret," Huo Yuhao said to Shi Yu, not wanting this secret of Senior's to be leaked.
"Don't worry," Shi Yu said. Shi Yu wasn't a big mouth, so naturally, Shi Yu wouldn't casually spread these matters.
Huo Yuhao left the room, spoke briefly with Xuan Lao, and then left the courtyard. Huo Yuhao was going to listen to Ilex and find another place to fuse the living gold.
Shi Yu closed the door and enthusiastically began contemplating the magic Shi Yu had obtained from Ilex.
Shi Yu temporarily didn't think about the method of refining a small plane; that was still too far away for Shi Yu.
Among the other three spells, the first Shi Yu studied was the Life-Death Conversion Technique.
This was the simplest of the three spells, the easiest to master, and mastering it would also be of some help for the upcoming competition.
Shi Yu somewhat awkwardly constructed the magic array there using Soul Power.
The energy that filled the world where Ilex originally resided was not called Soul Power.
But Soul Power could replace the original magic power. Although the effect wasn't the best, it could still activate the magic.
The construction of the magic array also required spiritual power. Shi Yu encountered many problems during the first attempt.
Shi Yu wasn't discouraged and kept trying, comparing it to carving Soul Guidance Device arrays.
In fact, constructing magic arrays and carving Soul Guidance Device arrays were indeed quite similar.
The only difference was that one was carving array lines with special power on metal, while the other was carving in the air without a direct medium.
Or rather, Space was the medium for this magic.
Shi Yu was so engrossed in the attempts that Shi Yu didn't even bother to eat dinner.
After more than seven hours of attempts, Shi Yu finally managed to construct the magic array completely, albeit a bit crookedly.
It was like a child learning to write characters; when written completely, it looked a bit crooked and wasn't pretty, but you could still recognize which character was written.
The magic array Shi Yu had constructed now was just like this.
It didn't look good, but it was indeed a complete magic array.
Looking at this magic array with somewhat crooked lines, a smile finally appeared on Shi Yu's face.
Shi Yu carefully moved it backward, released the Eight Spider Lances, and intended to fuse this magic array with Shi Yu's Soul Bone.
This was an operation Shi Yu came up with. In reality, this magic worked on the target.
Injecting this magic array into the body of the target whose life force you want to devour can build a connection, continuously devouring the life force within the opponent's body into your own.
Shi Yu didn't have a target to devour right now, so Shi Yu thought of applying it to Shi Yu's Eight Spider Lances to see if any magical effects could be produced.
The ideal scenario Shi Yu envisioned was continuously applying the magic to the Eight Spider Lances, constantly stimulating them, which might allow the Eight Spider Lances to permanently possess the effect of this magic.
Simply put, Shi Yu hoped to stimulate the Eight Spider Lances through this magic to achieve mutation and evolution.
When the magic array came into contact with the Eight Spider Lances, it didn't shatter immediately but shook continuously, and cracks even appeared on the magic patterns.
Shi Yu carefully maintained it, stabilizing the magic array as much as possible to prevent it from directly collapsing and disintegrating.
With a thought, Shi Yu controlled the magic array to merge into the Eight Spider Lances, simultaneously activating the devouring power of the Eight Spider Lances, attempting to devour and fuse this magic array that possessed a devouring effect.
The process was not smooth; many problems occurred. Shi Yu was covered in sweat as Shi Yu resolved them, persisting for nearly half an hour before the magic array dissipated and disintegrated.
"It's still possible to realize the idea," Shi Yu said, sitting on the ground feeling somewhat drained, with a fervent look in Shi Yu's eyes.
Shi Yu's Eight Spider Lances did not completely fuse the power of this magic array, but they didn't absorb or fuse none of it either.
A part of the magic array's power was successfully absorbed and fused by the Eight Spider Lances.
Shi Yu could feel that Shi Yu's Eight Spider Lances had become a little different.
But the change wasn't particularly huge; Shi Yu needed to make a few more such attempts to perhaps allow the Eight Spider Lances to achieve a small qualitative change.
Shi Yu still wanted to try. Shi Yu was full of motivation for this matter now, wishing Shi Yu could construct dozens of such magic arrays at once to let Shi Yu's Eight Spider Lances fuse them.
Just constructing one such magic array had kept Shi Yu busy for seven or eight hours. Now, Shi Yu was physically and mentally exhausted and couldn't continue.
Shi Yu sat on the ground for a long time, conducting a comprehensive reflection and summary on the construction of this magic array.
In Shi Yu's mind, it was as if a scene was playing back. Shi Yu became a bystander, watching the entire process of how Shi Yu successfully constructed this magic array.
Shi Yu omitted and simplified some unnecessary steps, corrected inappropriate operations, and refined the construction of the magic array as much as possible.
There was still a competition tomorrow. Although Shi Yu really wanted to stay up late and try, Shi Yu didn't actually do so. Maintaining a good state for the match was very important, after all, their team basically relied on Shi Yu.
After cultivating and recovering some Soul Power, Shi Yu fell into a deep sleep.
