Chapter 137 - Star Sand Warming Talisman
Just when Xie Zhao was about to insert the last main keel into the core top beam, he discovered that the keel that served as the top beam was thicker and heavier than the other keels, and the evil spirit of the Red Phoenix contained in it was even more violent!
When Tie Niu penetrated the node at the top of the void structure, the entire void talisman framework shook violently! The pressure on the structure node suddenly increased dramatically!
A subtle but clear shattering sound was heard!
Xie Zhao's talismanic power, maintaining the structure, suddenly felt stagnant! Tiny cracks appeared on the several void runes surrounding the keel of the main beam! The entire keel trembled slightly, as if it was about to fall off!
"Not good! The structure is unstable!" Xie Zhao's face changed slightly, and the light of the Jinghong Talisman Pen suddenly increased, trying to forcibly repair the cracks and strengthen the nodes!
Tie Niu also sensed something was wrong. His huge body tensed up and he said in a deep voice, "Second Brother! Shall I hit you again?"
"Don't move!" Xie Zhao shouted anxiously, a thin layer of sweat oozing from his forehead. Forcibly smashing it would only cause the structure to collapse faster!
A cold figure appeared beside Xie Zhao as if teleporting! It was Chu Linyuan!
He did not look at the precarious keel of the roof beam. His cold eyes fell on Xie Zhao's wrist, which was trembling slightly due to the force, and the dim tip of the Jinghong Fu Pen.
He said nothing, but stretched out his right hand, and pointed his fingers like swords. A wisp of extremely condensed black ice evil spirit lingered on his fingertips, and gently pointed at Xie Zhao's wrist holding the pen!
It's not an attack, but a force!
The pure and peaceful black ice evil energy was like sweet spring water, instantly injected into Xie Zhao's meridians!
This power was not forcibly stimulated, but had a strange guiding and amplifying effect, perfectly integrating with the remaining talisman power in his body!
Xie Zhao felt his spirits lifted, as if his withered soul had been infused with a refreshing icy spring, instantly clearing his mind! The dim light of the Jinghong Talisman Pen suddenly lit up, even brighter than before!
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Xie Zhao shouted, no longer having to worry! The Jinghong Fu Pen pointed at the void rune that had cracks around the top beam keel like lightning!
The golden light at the tip of the pen is like a living thread, instantly repairing the cracks and forcibly stabilizing the node that is on the verge of collapse!
Several more complex reinforcement runes were imprinted on the connection between the keel and the structure, locking it completely!
The void structure emitted a low humming sound, completely stabilizing! The top keel was firmly suspended above the tower base, becoming the backbone of the first floor of the tower!
Xie Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, turned to look at Chu Linyuan beside him, his peach blossom eyes filled with a smile of having survived a disaster and a hint of gratitude: "That was a close call! It almost collapsed! Brother, you gave me the power bank just in time!"
Chu Linyuan withdrew his fingers expressionlessly, as if the timely transfer of force just now was just a piece of cake.
His cold eyes swept across the stabilized void structure and finally fell on the Jinghong Talisman Pen in Xie Zhao's hand.
The talisman light at the tip of the pen was still bright after the power was transferred, but the slight wear marks left by the void stardust that had previously attached to the silver tip of the pen were clearly visible.
Chu Linyuan was silent for a moment. Under Xie Zhao's somewhat puzzled gaze, he reached into the storage pocket of his black robe, his movements carrying a subtle solemnity.
When he opened his palm, a small black jade box, the size of a pigeon egg, lay quietly in his palm. The box had no patterns on its surface, but it exuded a warm, restrained luster and a subtle spatial fluctuation.
"Take it." Chu Linyuan's voice remained flat as he handed the black jade box to Xie Zhao.
"What is this...?" Xie Zhao was stunned, then instinctively took the small box. It felt warm and slightly cool to the touch, with a strangely heavy feeling. Curious, he opened the lid.
A pure, vast, dreamy starlight, as if containing an entire miniature galaxy, instantly flowed out of the box, illuminating Xie Zhao's surprised face!
Inside the box, there was no earth-shattering magic weapon, but a small half box of gravel that shone with a deep star-blue color, like the purest star fragments!
Between the sand and gravel, dots of dark golden starlight flowed slowly like living things, emitting extremely pure star power and a hint of... the unique breath of star extinction!
"Chen Ji...Xingsha?!" Xie Zhao gasped, his voice changing tone! He suddenly looked up at Chu Linyuan, his peach blossom eyes filled with disbelief and shock!
This is definitely a top-level talisman material that is a hundred times more precious than Su Tang's "Void Stardust"! Even Xingyun Pavilion may not have so much!
Chu Linyuan simply looked at him indifferently, his cold eyes lingering on Xie Zhao's shocked face for a moment before moving away, as if he were just throwing him an ordinary stone. He parted his thin lips slightly, his voice calm and composed:
"The pen is blunt."
"..." Xie Zhao held the box of priceless Chenji Star Sand in his hand, looking at Chu Linyuan's cold expression that said, "I'll give you a piece of candy, stop arguing." His heart seemed to be hit hard by something, feeling sore and swollen. The burning emotions instantly broke through all the barriers of joking.
He wanted to say, "Brother, this is too valuable," he wanted to say, "How did you get this?", he wanted to say, "Did you empty the Xingyun Pavilion's warehouse?"... Thousands of words got stuck in his throat, and in the end, he only turned into a silly, but extremely bright smile, and a nasal mutter:
“…I understand…next time…draw less…”
Chu Linyuan stopped looking at him and turned to walk towards the next piece of material that needed to be processed. The tip of the Immortal-Slaying Spear flickered with cold light, as if it was not him who had just delivered the top-grade material.
