The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 507 - 294 Qianjin Hall

The whistle was too far from her at the moment, and these green coins would take a long time to reach the other party. However, she believed that the whistle had already waited for more than thirty years, so a few months more did not matter.

After getting this done, Changtian took the Soul-devouring Nail and examined it over and over in his hands. Despite his tens of thousands of years of experience, he couldn’t figure out the material from which the nail was made, nor whose work it might be. Ever since the Soul-devouring Nail had been in her possession, it had always been very docile. Magic Artifacts also have their temperaments, and this nail, compared to the lively and active Tusk, was much more silent and reserved.

But why on earth did Ning Xiaoxian think of using it tonight at the critical moment of a life and death battle? It didn’t make sense. According to her usual habits, she would have thrown something to harm the enemy, which should have been the Dagger Tusk.

Jing Guang flickered in Changtian’s eyes, while his thoughts seemed to wander away. She softly called him twice before Changtian came back to his senses and said solemnly, "This Soul-devouring Nail, try to use it as little as possible in the future."

She was curious, "Why?" A Magic Artifact capable of damaging the Divine Soul is truly a treasure, so why should it be hidden?

He stroked her hair thoughtfully, "I suspect that the appearance of this Soul-devouring Nail may have some connection with the Yin Jiu You."

She jumped in fright, "This is an item from Yin Jiu You? Then I truly dare not use it."

"No," Changtian shook his head, "This item has appeared in a strange manner. It didn’t show up early nor late, but just before Yin Jiu You appeared in the world, it oddly came searching for you; usually it stays quiet, but why does it remind you to use it to harm enemies when it encounters anything related to Yin Jiu You? It seems as if there is a heavenly will in this."

"It reminds me to use it to harm enemies?"

"Think back carefully, why did you suddenly throw out the Soul-devouring Nail at that time?"

She pondered for a while before hesitantly saying, "I’m not sure either, it just suddenly felt like I could restrain that giant ape using this nail. As soon as this thought appeared, the Soul-devouring Nail automatically moved into my hand."

"Then the treasure is truly sentient and automatically warned you," he kissed her forehead, "Its grade is even above the Tusk. As it’s capable of harming the Divine Soul, you should take good care of it and not let others know of its existence," he mused, "I have a feeling that it might prove to be a surprise move against Yin Jiu You in the future."

"It’s just a small matter," she snapped her fingers and the Soul-devouring Nail vanished, "What was that white light we encountered when we stepped out of the cave earlier?"

Since Tu Jin was injured and resting, the Soul Search Technique on the giant ape was personally performed by Changtian. "In the past five hundred years, a sect known as Qianjin Hall has risen among the Human Clan, its name means ’a person of great value does not engage in perilous actions’; it is different from ordinary sects, combining mechanism craftsmanship with Divine Skills and Magic Artifacts to create a multitude of ingenious and skillful items termed trick tools. If used properly, these items could have effects even more powerful than ordinary Magic Artifacts, though the production of Qianjin Hall’s creations has always been low; recently, they can only be purchased at sales events."

She stuck out her tongue, "Sounds really impressive!"

"At least in the memory of the giant ape, it’s so. He once saw Qianjin Hall use a trick tool named ’Ping Mountain’, which truly flattened a three thousand feet tall mountain directly into flat ground." Three thousand feet is indeed one thousand meters. This trick tool is indeed powerful.

"Was that white light a trick tool produced by Qianjin Hall?"

"Indeed, called the Soul Shattering Bomb. As the name implies, it can cause severe damage to the enemy’s Divine Soul. But such a Divine Thunder is frighteningly expensive; the giant ape had another, but the Soul-devouring Nail subdued it too quickly for it to take it out." He extended his palm, indeed holding a purple Round Bead in it, "Store it. At a critical moment, it may have a miraculous use."

"The mechanism in that cave was set up by an expert, originally having two layers and was quite vicious, meant to trap enemies entering at one layer and encountering another layer upon exiting. Logically speaking, whether human or demon exploring the unknown, they are cautious going in and careless coming out; this resetting of the mechanism exploited this weakness of human nature, opting to set up the most powerful Soul Shattering Bomb when enemies exit the cave. Six hundred years have passed, perhaps the first layer has malfunctioned due to the long passage of time, but the second layer is still active."

Changtian sighed, "It was lucky that Tu Jin who walked ahead triggered the mechanism, otherwise you would have been seriously injured this time," his words trailing off with aftershock. Injuries to the Divine Soul are most difficult to heal, even he did not have an effective remedy.
