The Lord of Void and Real

95  Chapter 94: Unexpected Gains

He operated the Nameless Cultivation Technique, and swung the talisman in an attempt to command the Fire Gun to rise. However, the Fire Gun didn't respond, regardless of how much force he exerted; there was no sign of it lifting off.

"It seems this Fire Gun is indeed a magical instrument; it requires the cultivation level of the Grain Avoidance Stage to activate it." Shen Luo didn't continue the attempt. He swung the Fire Gun twice in his hand and the tip of the gun crossed over the nearby stone wall.

The burning tip of the Fire Gun easily left a charred trace on the stone wall. The hard rock was as fragile as mud before the Fire Gun.

"Nice, very nice!"

Shen Luo, overwhelmed with joy, took the Fire Gun in front of him to take a closer look.

An intense heat emanated from the muzzle, causing Shen Luo's face to feel a pricking pain, as if he was facing a red-hot piece of iron.

He moved his arm, and the Fire Gun transformed into a red light that stabbed the front stone wall.

"Hiss"

Almost half of the Fire Gun was lodged inside the stone wall, with only a small segment remaining outside.

"The power of a magical instrument is undeniable. Although I only activated a bit of its surface potential, it can already cause such formidable destruction!" Shen Luo forcefully moved his arm to neatly withdraw the Fire Gun and couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh.

Speaking of its attack power, the Fire Gun already surpassed that of the Talisman Fork bestowed by the Sword Voizer.

As his own mana was not plentiful, he did not activate the Fire Gun for long. Soon, he put it down and picked up the glistening Cold Gun.

The Cold Gun was entirely white and had an icy touch. Even though no mana had been infused inside to activate it, there was still a layer of blurry white frost around it, making it look exceptionally gorgeous.

Out of all the items, this glistening Cold Gun was undoubtedly the most dazzling.

Shen Luo held the Cold Gun in his hands, relishing it for a moment, and then gradually channeled his mana into it.

Unlike the Fire Gun just now, as soon as he infused mana into it, a bright white light erupted from the Cold Gun, and an icy aura immediately began to spread, causing the surrounding temperature to drop.

A hint of astonishment appeared on Shen Luo's face, but he quickly comprehended the reason.

The Nameless Method he cultivated was of the water attribute; it was quite compatible with this Cold Gun.

The earlier less-responsive short spear was a Fire Attribute magical instrument, which was counter to his mana attribute; naturally, it was harder to activate.

Having understood these aspects, Shen Luo developed a deeper fondness for this Cold Gun that was compatible with his mana attribute. He poured all his mana into it, and the glistening Cold Gun immediately radiated a brilliant white light, significantly more intense than before.

The nearby temperature plummeted again, and a white mist began to ruffle in the air.

Shen Luo waved his arm, and the Cold Gun transformed into a white light, stabbing into the nearby stone wall.

With a soft "pop", the head of the glistening Cold Gun stabbed a few inches into the stone wall before stopping. But a layer of white frost began to spread on the surrounding stone wall.

The more Shen Luo saw of the Cold Gun, the more he liked it. However, he didn't continue activating it and instead put it aside. Then he picked up the Golden Rope and infused his mana into it as well.

As a result, a bright golden light appeared on the Golden Rope, but beyond that, there was no other change.

"It looks like a restraining type of magical instrument, but I have no idea about its effectiveness." Shen Luo murmured to himself, placed the golden rope to one side, and glanced towards the last three Crimson Short Blades.

He picked up one of the blades, infused his mana into it, and the Crimson Short Blade immediately floated in the air, radiating a dark crimson glow.

"Go!"

With a flick of Shen Luo's induction, the short blade immediately shot forwards, traversing dozens of feet in an instant, and with a "puff" sound, it was embedded into the stone wall, leaving just the hilt exposed.

With another induction, the crimson short blade instantly leapt out from the stone wall and shot back, hovering in front of him.

"Controlling this short blade is much easier compared to that Talisman Fork," Shen Luo inwardly noted.

Just now, when he was controlling this short blade, he felt as if it were an extension of his own body, unlike before when he tried to manipulate the Talisman Fork with trepidation, fearful that it would malfunction and fall if he was the least bit careless.

Shen Luo found it somewhat incredulous, once again activating the short blade with his induction and letting it circle and dance around him, soaring up and down, as if he was merely directing his own arm, extremely effortless. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

His body's mana was not plentiful, and after continuous testing, it was already at its limit, so he retracted the short blade.

"Strange, why has my control over talismanic instruments suddenly become so easy? And before, when I was battling that fox demon, my use of the Water Control Technique was way easier than in reality. And there's also the Small Thunder Talisman…" He was puzzled, but did not think much of it, storing away the short spear, golden rope, and short blade, glancing at the corpse of Wu Pojia in the process and setting the short spear and other items down again.

"Commander Wu, you died due to being possessed by a demon, your corpse left to the elements. I'll help bury you, and consider these magical instruments as your repayment," said Shen Luo as he carried Wu Pojia's corpse and placed it into a nearby large pit.

Just then, with a "plop" sound, a cloth bag dropped from Wu Pojia's body.

"Huh, what's this?" Shen Luo first put down Wu Pojia's corpse, then picked up the cloth bag and opened it to see what was inside.

Inside the cloth bag were three medicine vials: white, blue, and yellow. On the white medicine vial was a label with the words "Pigu Dan" written on it.

"Pigu Dan!" Shen Luo's eyes lit up.

The Spring and Autumn Pavilion did have this type of elixir. He had heard from Bai Xiaotian that reportedly, if you consumed one, it could stave off hunger for a day and was even better than eating grains.

Shen Luo opened the vial and saw that inside were white, fingertip-sized elixir pills, numbering in the tens. A fragrant smell of the elixir immediately hit him.

Unsure of how much time had passed since his descent into this underground cave, he was getting a bit hungry. He poured one out and swallowed it directly.

With his research on elixirs, he knew from the fragrance that it was beneficial and harmless, and so he had no qualms about consuming it.

As soon as the Pigu Dan entered his stomach, it instantly dissolved into a warm sensation that spread out. Immediately, his hunger disappeared, replaced by a slight sense of fullness.

"Good stuff, it indeed is a miraculous elixir," Shen Luo thought to himself in delight, closing the vial.

There were no labels on the other two vials. After Shen Luo opened the caps of each one, he found that the blue vial contained a thumb-sized, fully translucent blue elixir that emitted a rich fragrance, distinctly different from the light fragrance of the Pigu Dan.

In the yellow vial were two silver-grey pills bearing a slightly spicy scent.

Based on Shen Luo's knowledge and experiences, he speculated that these two elixirs were far more precious than the Pigu Dan. However, he was unsure of their specific effects.

Inside the bundle, in addition to the three vials of elixir, there were also four talismans, some silver, and a purple waist badge.

Two of the four talismans had the same grey runes as the ones on the crimson short blade, the symbols bright and vibrant, obviously unused. As for the other two talismans, one was the red talisman previously used by Wu Pojia to break the illusion of the Three-eyed Fox Demon, and the last one was a golden talisman, the runes on it were quite profound, making it unclear what the talisman's purpose was.

Because many talismans were one-time use and his body was currently out of mana, he did not attempt to use any of them.

As for the silver, he just glanced briefly at it before ignoring it.

Finally, Shen Luo picked up the purple waist badge. One side of the badge was engraved with the image of a tiger's head, while the other bore the two seal characters: "Dingguo."
