The appearance of the talisman stirred up Zheng Ya's emotions, making it difficult for him to remain calm.
Zheng Ya stared intently at the golden hairpin, a companion treasure that Xie Baochai had summoned. Xie Baochai noticed that his eyes were clear and did not reveal a trace of greed, and she was stunned.
Daiyu broke the silence thoughtfully: "You're using this golden hairpin, a precious treasure, as a promotion offer—that's quite a novel idea!"
"My family has been held hostage for years. If we have offended you, please forgive us!" Xie Baochai bowed awkwardly and apologized.
Undeniably, summoning the Golden Hairpin and Lingbao was the most direct way to test human nature.
If Zheng Ya and Daiyu were to try and snatch it, Xie Baochai would immediately activate the talisman function on her golden hairpin and teleport away.
Conversely, it goes without saying that one can befriend the other.
Seeing her ashamed and apologetic, Daiyu felt embarrassed to continue mocking her character: "If you are sincere, why don't you tell us about the special properties of your golden hairpin?"
"Sister, you have such a clever mind, I admire you." Xie Baochai understood her intention to protect Zheng Ya in every way and flattered her with envy.
Daiyu glanced shyly at the stunned Zheng Ya, secretly relieved. "Little idiot," she thought, "my little sister isn't bad either. She'll become famous overnight, attracting princes..."
"Sister, please stop talking. I dare not hope for it!" Xie Baochai interrupted her, feeling a pang of jealousy as she saw her sister deliberately defending her rights. She then changed the subject, saying, "This golden hairpin of mine originally had no spiritual power."
When he was four years old, the Crown Prince's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate failed, which implicated the Xie Family Chamber of Commerce.
At that time, my younger sister was young and ignorant. She only remembered that the whole family was in chaos, arguing, and there was bloodshed, which frightened her so much that she cried incessantly.
Perhaps my father realized that the Xie family was about to be wiped out, so he carried me into the underground secret room and instructed me to summon the golden hairpin and merge it into a shining token.
I fainted on the spot.
When she woke up, she found that Jin Chai Ling Bao had become like this…
As she spoke, she choked up, tears streaming down her face, soaking her clothes.
The pain of losing his father and the hatred of being wronged by his son, suppressed in his heart for more than a decade, collapsed in an instant.
In that instant, Daiyu realized the heavy burden her daughter was carrying on the family's legacy, and couldn't bear it, so she stepped forward and put her arm around her to comfort her: "It's alright, everything will be alright."
You've now broken free of your cage and started fighting back, haven't you?
"Yes, thank you!" Xie Baochai felt a sense of kinship in an instant, and sincerely thanked him before returning the favor: "My golden hairpin has become like this. At first, I had no idea how to use it."
In addition, the Golden Hairpin and Lingbao could not be told to anyone, lest it arouse the wrath of Prince Rong and lead to their extermination and silencing. Therefore, they could only search for it in secret.
Fortunately, after the hairpin was integrated into the token, it subtly hinted at its function.
I mistakenly thought I was dreaming. After all, the spirit of the talisman was merely a sensory transmission of consciousness and could not communicate with me, which was difficult for a child of only a few years old to accept and understand.
It wasn't until three years ago, when the consciousness of the magical artifact grew alongside my mind and evolved to the point where it could communicate with me, that I came to understand its abilities.
Spatial teleportation and spatial concealment.
There is also the story of the birth of the talisman treasure. It originated from a powerful cultivator with a spatial spiritual root who was good at making spatial talismans. When he was being chased by a powerful enemy, he finally perished and his divine consciousness and soul were entrusted to the token talisman treasure. Gradually, it developed into an integrated human soul talisman treasure, and he was ready to find a sacrificial body to possess and be reborn.
But he never anticipated that in the chaotic battle three hundred years ago, he would be struck by a powerful being's fatal blow, becoming an innocent bystander and losing his intelligence.
This is why the talisman only possessed one unique spiritual quality, which allowed my father to help me get a bargain.
That's roughly it. Hope it helps!
"Yes, thank you for telling me." Zheng Ya only fully woke up after hearing her explain how the talisman was created. He secretly used his spiritual energy to activate the Four Harmonies Tower's spiritual energy system to analyze the talisman and completed the practical analysis for use on the interstellar spaceship.
That's right, Zheng Ya had no intention of taking Xie Baochai's companion hairpin. The moment he saw the hairpin and the talisman, he immediately thought of the drive to create an interstellar spaceship.
Drive, also known as engine.
Zheng Ya originally planned to use formations to create interstellar spaceships, so the formations would be the engines of the interstellar spaceships.
However, while the array engine can function, there aren't enough crystals to supply the array's energy consumption, thus hindering the interstellar spaceship's journey through the universe.
In this dilapidated cultivation world, the crystals produced are becoming increasingly scarce, making it impossible to maintain the spaceships that consume crystal resources to travel through the universe.
This inadvertently stalled Zheng Ya's endeavor to develop interstellar spaceships.
It wasn't until Zheng Ya noticed that Xie Baochai had used her golden hairpin magic weapon to teleport there that he realized something was amiss, as the spatial attributes contained within the golden hairpin magic weapon did not match Xie Baochai's metal-type spiritual root.
After all, Xie Baochai did not cultivate a spiritual root that could generate spatial power, so it doesn't make sense for her to activate the golden hairpin talisman that contains spatial power.
It is important to know that the four arts of cultivating immortality correspond to different professions.
For example, in alchemy, a cultivator who does not possess fire or wood spiritual roots cannot become an alchemist.
Even without fire or wood spiritual roots, it's not impossible to use earth fire to refine pills, but the achievement will be very low, and one won't be considered a true alchemist.
Talisman making is a profession that anyone with any spiritual talent can learn.
However, the talismans that can be created also correspond to one's own spiritual root attributes.
It's impossible for a cultivator with a water elemental root to create a fire-attribute talisman.
At present, Xie Baochai's companion spiritual treasure, the golden hairpin, has finally merged with a talisman with spatial properties, which can only be described as a miracle.
First, space has the ability to encompass everything in the world.
Secondly, the token talisman, after being modified by the original owner's soul essence, was fully prepared for possession and rebirth, laying the groundwork for merging with the human spirit treasure.
Third, since the talisman possesses spirituality, it will actively merge with people to avoid obliterating the world, which is equivalent to a wholehearted sacrifice and fusion, and there is no rejection.
Based on the above three points, Xie Baochai's companion treasure, also known as a talisman treasure, was born.
Zheng Ya analyzed the characteristics of the golden hairpin talisman and instantly realized that it would be very suitable as a propulsion system for an interstellar spaceship.
Simply use the spirit-gathering array to gather the energy, and the driving force will be sufficient.
Some might suggest creating a spirit-gathering array on the interstellar spaceship to power the array and propel the spaceship.
Theoretically feasible, but no matter how large the spirit-gathering array is, the spiritual power it can gather is very limited, which is insufficient to supply the spaceship's flight power.
Moreover, spaceships traveling through the universe are likely to encounter endless troubles and dangers, and the spirit-gathering array alone is insufficient to support the diversified development of spaceships.
The appearance of the talisman is equivalent to the treasure that is suppressed in the center of the great formation.
Once a starship possesses a spiritual treasure, it can be used to gather spiritual energy at the center of a grand formation, store energy, and maximize the control of the grand formation's operation. This will satisfy the starship's offensive, defensive, and auxiliary capabilities!
But reality is cruel. All the transmigrators are after the spiritual treasures. Who would be willing to install a spiritual treasure on a spaceship?
If someone actually did that, they'd be courting death.
Anyone who knew about it would try to steal it.
Therefore, Zheng Ya was really racking his brains. Before this, he had racked his brains but still couldn't figure out what to use to make the interstellar spaceship driver.
Fortunately, the talisman can solve this problem.
This thing can be made!
Once the mineral materials needed to craft talismans are found, Zheng Ya can mass-produce them, solving the problem of propulsion for interstellar spaceships.
Xie Baochai, however, felt uncomfortable with his politeness: "Ah, it's nothing, it's nothing, I'm just glad I could help you..."
