Chapter 168 Special Ink
168 After a long three-hour wait, Old Master Huo finally succeeded in replicating the upgraded Soul Tablet.
"The Soul Tablet is a mid-level spiritual artifact, which normally requires at least a level four weapon refiner to create."
I had been at the peak of level three for over twenty years without breaking through. It was only recently, after working in the weapons factory for two months and drawing a large number of spirit runes, that my skills improved significantly, and I've recently shown signs of a breakthrough.
Therefore, I'm about 90% confident I can refine this kind of soul tablet; it's just taking a while. Once I break through to level four, it will probably only take me a little over an hour to make it."
Old Huo patiently explained, his words revealing his joy at the improvement in his skills.
"How do I use this soul tablet?"
Mo Yuming knew too little about this world. Although he had heard of such spiritual artifacts, he had never seen one before and naturally did not know how to use it.
His eyes were full of curiosity and confusion.
"It's very simple. Just drip some blood essence into the mother tablet, then use your mind to sense it. After establishing a connection with the soul tablet, you can absorb the child tablet into your body and nurture it in your sea of consciousness."
Old Master Huo handed the soul tablet he had made to Mo Yuming, and explained in detail how to use it.
"Placing the soul tablet into the sea of consciousness? Won't that have any effect on the body? And what if the other tablet is deliberately damaged?"
Mo Yuming frowned and asked, his heart filled with curiosity about this novel magical artifact.
"No, once the sub-plate is integrated into the sea of consciousness, it becomes part of the sea of consciousness and will not have any effect on the body."
Even if the other piece is broken, it doesn't matter; it will only render the entire set of soul cards ineffective.
The token placed in the mind's eye will transform into spiritual energy and be absorbed by the body.
If needed in the future, you can simply add another one.
Soul Jade is a mineral that contains substances that aid in the cultivation of the soul; it will not cause harm when ingested.
Mr. Huo explained in a calm and reassuring tone.
Mo Yuming now has two sets of soul tablets, but they haven't been refined, so he still doesn't know how effective they are.
So Mo Yuming decided to try it himself. He took one of the mother cards and dripped a drop of blood onto it.
The jade pendant absorbed the blood in no time and disappeared. At this moment, the jade pendant turned a faint red color, as if it had come to possess a spirit.
There seems to be some kind of connection between the two jade plaques.
Mo Yuming concentrated his energy to sense the soul tablets, and sure enough, he soon established a connection with the jade tablets.
Mo Yuming held the jade tablet in his hand and, following the method taught by Elder Huo, used his spiritual power to sense the soul tablet in his hand. After a short while, he felt the jade tablet in his hand begin to dissipate, and then a small amount of spiritual power entered his sea of consciousness.
With a little sensing, one can discover a phantom jade tablet in one's sea of consciousness, exactly the same as the physical one in one's hand just now.
At this moment, the mother tablet on the table also reacted, a pale red dot appearing on the edge of the jade tablet, its position changing as Mo Yuming moved. A dot also appeared in the corresponding location in the illusory image of the jade tablet in Mo Yuming's mind.
The bright spot flickered with a faint light, as if guiding something.
Mo Yuming was secretly amazed by the wonder of this soul tablet and filled with anticipation for its future use.
Mo Yuming discovered that this small improvement to the Soul Card did indeed greatly enhance its practicality.
Having this soul token is like having a locator with you, so you'll never be afraid of getting lost in unfamiliar places again.
The flashing light acts like a faithful guide, always directing the user in the right direction.
Mo Yuming carefully sensed the jade tablet. Li Qing had told him that it could send a distress signal to the mother tablet, but he hadn't bothered to ask how to use it. Now he had to experiment himself. He focused intently on sensing the spiritual energy fluctuations within the jade tablet, trying to find a way to trigger the distress signal.
Fortunately, the method of use is not difficult. You only need to use your mind to control the soul tablet in your sea of consciousness and change the bright spots on the soul tablet. After a few practices, the operation becomes very easy.
To use it, simply use your mind to intentionally change the brightness of the bright spot that indicates direction. When the bright spot in the jade pendant in your mind dims, the mother pendant placed at a distance will also show the same reaction.
As long as the user keeps flashing the bright spot on the jade pendant in their mind, the mother pendant in the distance will also show the same pattern of constantly flashing bright spots.
Those who discover this situation know that the owner of the jade pendant is in trouble and needs help.
While this rescue and targeting function has some use, it is of little benefit to most people in the world.
For one reason only, it can only send simple flashing signals in a one-to-one direction, but it cannot explain what is actually happening;
Secondly, although there is a direction display, it is impossible to say how far away the person seeking help is or where they are. If the distance is close, it is fine, but if it is far, by the time the rescuers arrive, it will probably be too late.
Thirdly, because it cannot make a sound, the mother talisman must be guarded at all times; otherwise, the message from the person seeking help cannot be conveyed.
Furthermore, very few people can use this kind of soul tablet; it is only useful for people from large families or very wealthy individuals.
Even if ordinary people could afford it, it wouldn't be of much use, because if the user encountered any problems, their relatives and friends wouldn't be able to provide assistance.
However, upon learning of its function, Mo Yuming immediately thought of another purpose.
The user only needs to possess one more thing to maximize its value, almost enabling the user to unleash incredible abilities.
Upon learning that the sensing ability between these soul tablets had almost no distance limitations, Mo Yuming was so excited that he almost jumped up.
He immediately asked Old Master Huo to make as many of these soul tablets as possible over the next three days.
Although Soul Jade is quite precious, most weapon refiners have some in stock because Soul Jade has many uses and is required in many spiritual artifacts.
Although there were a few level-three weapon refiners in the weapons factory, Mo Yuming did not let them participate; it was better for fewer people to know about this matter.
After all, in this world full of unknowns and challenges, a secret with great potential, if known by too many people, may bring unexpected trouble.
Mo Yuming was well aware of this, so he carefully chose to have his most trusted elder, Huo, make the soul tablet to ensure that this secret could play its greatest role at crucial moments.
While Mr. Huo was making the product, Mo Yuming was also busy.
He wrote strange symbols on several specially treated animal hides with special ink, and labeled the corresponding characters below the symbols.
This specially made animal hide is both thin and durable. Writing on it with special ink will preserve the ink well and not fade unless the hide is damaged.
Furthermore, the writing on it can be made to disappear after being sprayed with a special solution. The ink will only reappear when the user sprays it with another solution.
