Chapter 668: Immortal Magical Instruments

"This monster was dragged down from the tree stand. It was already in tatters." The official said, "If I'm not mistaken, the pattern on this person's clothes represents Xu Guogong Shujia."

"Do you know him?" Xia Fan asked curiously.

"Yes, Lord Mo told us the story of the Mo family and the Gongshu family. During the Yong Dynasty, the two families joined hands to fight against Prince Yong, but later because they were in different places, they eventually turned into a relationship of competition and contest."

He took off the magic weapon on the man's head, wiped the blood with a handkerchief, and put it in front of his eyes to look at it carefully.

It was probably like an upside-down wooden basin, with complex patterns engraved inside. Some of them were not unfamiliar to Xia Fan, and they were still similar to the circuit diagram of the Nine Nether Fire.

The problem is that the Nine Nether Fire is a fairy art, and the master must be transplanted through the consciousness of the Privy Council before it can be mastered by the next alchemist. Otherwise, in order to drive such a magic weapon, Gongshujia must reach a new level of understanding of the shock art.

Could it be that the other party has mastered the fairy art into a magic weapon, and it can be used by most people?

He turned to look at Qianyan, "Were there any magical instruments in the Yong Dynasty?"

The latter tilted his head, "At least I haven't heard of it. You know, in a sense, the magic is the wealth that listeners bring to the world. If they are not willing to contribute their souls, the magic will not survive."

The little girl paused and added, "Of course, you are an exception. In fact, I have never seen anyone who can analyze his own magic and explain the principles. Perhaps the rules of magic have been greatly improved after a hundred years. So it is reasonable that Gongshujia can make such a magic instrument."

Well, it seems that this thing is not inherited from ancient technology.

Xia Fan decided to ask the experts about this question.

"Can you help me get through to Mo Yun?"

A quarter of an hour later, a familiar voice came from the receiver of the communication device, "I'm Mo Yun, just say it."

"It's like this, I'm on the sea outside Yazhou--"

"Xia Fan!?" The voice on the other end suddenly rose an octave, "Is it you, Xia Fan?"

"Uh..." He paused, "It's indeed me, I just came back from the West Pole, and I happened to meet Noah's tree boat on the way..."

"Where's the Holy Son? Did you bring him back?"

"No, but I brought back a princess, who can also remove erosion."

"Princess? Forget it, it doesn't matter who it is..." Mo Yun's voice was mixed with a hint of nasal sound, "Great, His Highness can wake up..."

This woman, who has always been cold, would show such emotions, making Xia Fan reluctant to interrupt her thoughts for a while.

But Mo Yun was the calm master of machinery after all, and soon got rid of his fluctuating mood, "I'm glad you're back safely. Did Shu Zhou encounter any problems?"

"Indeed." Xia Fan told Noah about the strange attack he encountered, "I think these monsters are still some kind of mechanical beasts in essence, but the driving method is very different from the common mechanical techniques in the past. Based on your understanding of Gongshu's family, is it really possible for them to make such things?"

"There is such a thing?" Mo Yun was excited, "Can Shu Zhou bring back the remains of the enemy?"

Sure enough, with Miss Mo's temperament, the first thing she thought of was to study the mechanical objects herself.

He glanced at the living dead, "With Qianyan here, there should be no problem."

"That's good, there are some things I have to see before I can make a conclusion." Mo Yun replied, "Both Gongshu and Mo's families are mechanical families, and they also bear the responsibilities of the Ministry of Industry and the world's construction, such as swords, crossbows, and firearms. But there are differences. Simply put, Gongshu is good at tools, while Mo's family is good at craftsmen."

"Tools and craftsmen?" Xia Fan asked in confusion.

"It's a metaphor." Li rolled her eyes at him, her tone full of condescension from a top student to a poor student. "The 'instrument' emphasizes the material itself, while the 'craftsman' is more inclined to craftsmanship and skills."

"Miss Li is right," Mo Yun affirmed. "The Mo family's mechanical art is famous for its fineness and complexity. Even I have only mastered a small part of it. In terms of mechanical components and joint processing, the Gongshu family lags far behind the Mo family, so the Wonderful Object Appreciation Conference is not only a competition of works, but also an opportunity for both sides to exchange technology. Of course, this kind of 'exchange' comes at a certain price."

"What about the instrument? Could it be the art of smelting?"

"Smelting is part of it. In fact, their pursuit of materials is varied and beyond imagination. From snow mountain nectar to lava fire, they are all within the collection range of the Gongshu family. Sometimes some mechanical ideas are proposed by the Mo family, but they are finally realized by the Gongshu family because they use better materials, which greatly increases the strength of the mechanical parts."

"So this flesh is also one of the materials?" Xia Fan said incredulously.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Mo Yun paused, "As for the immortal weapon you mentioned, if everyone can understand the content of the talisman, then it is actually no different from an ordinary magic weapon. In a sense, you have already done this."

"Me?" Xia Fan said in surprise.

"Yes, do you remember the talisman of the Nine Nether Fire? You disassembled part of the content on it and made it into the talisman of the enhanced streamer technique, and taught everyone how to further master the shock technique." Mo Yun's voice became quite gratified, "Now one of the core magic weapons on the Noah Tree Boat is the enhanced streamer technique, and there are no less than ten people who can activate it. In other words, you have changed the rules of immortal arts."

"But can Gongshujia do this?" Li expressed doubt, "Xia Fan is definitely not an ordinary listener."

"Indeed." There was silence for a moment, "If you say that using flesh and blood as materials can be considered Gongshu's specialty, it is really unusual to make fairy arts into magic tools. Xia Fan, can you describe the shape of the magic tool?"

The latter described it according to it.

"So that's it," Mo Yun thought, "Only some mechanical beasts have people hidden in them, proving that the operator can control other drone beasts through it. Wearing it on the head can also prove that this technique is related to consciousness. I guess it is a fairy art similar to Kanshu. This is indeed not what Gongshujia is good at... By the way, see if there are other openings or secret doors on it, so that I can confirm a guess."

"I'll look for it..." Xia Fan knocked on the magic tool and soon found that its top was thick and seemed to be hollow inside, "It really is."

He made his fingertips grow a hook similar to the dragon's wing, pierced into the gap of the magic tool and pried it gently, and the entire top opened with a sound. Some ashes flew out from inside, as well as half of a dark purple talisman that had not been completely burned.
