Chapter 74 This magical artifact is actually...
Looking at the red cloth folded into a neat square.
Zhu Que's heart was stirred.
The speed at which one can analyze a spiritual artifact is directly proportional to their cultivation level; the higher the level, the faster the analysis.
With each advancement in one's realm, analytical abilities will improve accordingly.
He remembered it clearly.
At the third level of Qi Refining, it takes less than half an hour to completely analyze a second-tier spiritual weapon.
He's now at the fifth level of Qi Refining, and he can analyze a second-tier spiritual weapon in about ten minutes.
However, the analysis progress of this red cloth is clearly not right.
Zhu Que quickly made a estimate: at this rate, it would take at least forty more minutes to finish analyzing the data.
This process takes longer than analyzing a second-tier spiritual weapon, but faster than analyzing a third-tier spiritual weapon.
"Between second and third tier? What grade of spiritual weapon is that?"
Zhu Que was perplexed.
He tightened his grip on the red cloth slightly as he analyzed the situation while listening to the sounds outside.
The corridor was very quiet.
The analysis progress is steadily increasing.
Just get through these forty minutes.
Meng Laoda said that this magical artifact has the mark of the Black Lotus Guild.
However, it's clear that it can only mark a general area and cannot pinpoint the exact location; otherwise, Boss Meng would have been caught long ago.
Once the analysis is complete, it's fine to discard this magical artifact.
Time passed by, second by second.
Zhu Que slowed his breathing, as if even the slightest extra sound might attract unnecessary trouble.
at last.
The parsing progress has jumped to 80%.
Meanwhile, a series of hurried footsteps sounded outside.
"Search every room again! I refuse to believe we can't find him!"
"receive!"
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
The sound of doors being violently kicked open came from outside.
Zhu Que felt a sinking feeling in his heart.
broken.
The parsing couldn't be completed.
He quickly glanced around the room, his mind racing as he weighed the pros and cons.
If it cannot be hidden, we have no choice but to give up analyzing it. After all, no matter how precious the magical artifact is, it is not as important as our lives.
Just when he was about to give up.
A furious shout suddenly rang out from outside—
"The target jumped out of the fifth-floor window and escaped! Go after them!!"
next moment.
The corridor outside exploded instantly.
Zhu Que rushed to the window and looked outside.
A figure rushed out of the hotel, jumped out of the window, landed on the ground, and sped away into the distance in one swift motion.
A group of men in black from the Black Lotus Guild gave chase.
Zhu Que recognized him at a glance—
The man who ran away was none other than Boss Meng!
"How was she exposed?"
Zhu Que had some doubts, but did not delve into them.
Because of Meng Laoda's exposure, he gained crucial time for analysis.
Time continued to pass.
He continued to examine the red cloth in his hand.
however.
The men in black who had just given chase actually returned along the same route in a short time.
"Damn it! That thing is still in the hotel! He's covering for his accomplices! Keep searching the rooms!"
"Which floor did we search before he escaped?"
"The top floor!"
"Continue searching the top floor!!"
A loud shout rang out outside, and the men in black surged into the hotel once more.
at the same time.
Zhu Que broke out in a cold sweat as he watched the analysis progress tick by tick.
[Current parsing progress: 98.2%……98.4%……98.6%……]
"Clap clap clap—"
The footsteps outside the door grew closer.
[99.1%...99.4%...]
Zhu Que held his breath and quickly put on the control gauntlets.
[Analysis progress: 100%]
[Analysis successful!]
Seeing that the progress had reached 100%, Zhu Que didn't even have time to look at the analysis information.
He raised his right hand, and a ball of ice flame instantly condensed, stretched, and shaped, transforming into an ice flame sword.
Then, he wrapped the Ice Flame Sword in red cloth, opened the window, and with a thought, he...
"call out--"
The Ice Flame Sword, draped in red cloth, whistled and sped away into the distance.
Zhu Que immediately turned around and closed the window, then flashed into the wardrobe.
"Bang!"
Almost as soon as the cabinet door closed, the bedroom door was violently kicked open.
Two men in black entered the room and were about to begin searching when a rapid shout suddenly came from the walkie-talkie—
"The magical artifact is speeding away from the hotel! That person's accomplice has also left! Everyone, give chase immediately!!"
Upon hearing this, the two men in black rushed to the window and saw a red shadow flying through the air in the distance.
"I see it! It's over there!"
"Clatter!"
The two immediately broke the window, jumped out, and gave chase.
Zhu Que hid in the closet and waited quietly for a moment. After confirming that there was no movement, he pushed open the closet door and came out.
Having confirmed that the magical artifact had left the hotel, the men in black gave chase.
Zhu Que left the hotel without any problems, and only after he had gone two blocks away did he breathe a heavy sigh of relief.
"call!"
That was so close! If we had been even half a second slower, we might have been discovered.
The good news is that the artifact has been successfully analyzed. As for whether this adventure is worthwhile, that depends on what kind of artifact it is.
Zhu Que calmed down and reviewed the analysis information that he had forcibly ignored earlier.
however.
When the analyzed information came into view, he was completely stunned—
[The banner of the Myriad Souls Banner: No rank, cloth item. The core component of the Myriad Souls Banner. The banner itself does not possess any independent power; it must be combined with a flagpole to awaken its full potential.]
[Requirements for replicating: 10 Tier 2 Cloth Items, 2 Tier 2 Gold Items]
Ten thousand……
Ten Thousand Soul Banners? !
Zhu Que was struck dumb, his steps slowed down involuntarily, and his breathing became rapid.
He checked again and again and found that the name was correct; it was indeed "the banner of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner".
If he remembers correctly.
The Banner of Ten Thousand Souls is an officially recognized forbidden artifact.
It is not allowed to exist in the general public. Not to mention ordinary cultivators, many formal institutions are not qualified to possess it.
His first day reporting to the landfill.
Then I saw an official post an announcement offering a reward for the stolen Wanhun Banner.
Later, he saw news about the Ten Thousand Soul Banner more than once through scattered information channels.
This Banner of Ten Thousand Souls...
Could it be the one that was stolen from the government?
"This Black Lotus Guild is too arrogant..."
The mastermind behind the kidnapping is the Black Lotus Guild.
The theft of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner was also the work of the Black Lotus Guild.
That obviously illegal biological laboratory was also built by the Black Lotus Guild.
"Could the Black Lotus Guild have been behind that theft of the infusion-type spiritual artifact a while back?"
Zhu Que did not continue to think about it.
Now all he wanted to do was get back to the cave storeroom as soon as possible, to replicate the banner of the Ten Thousand Souls Banner, and see what this counterfeit version of the forbidden artifact really looked like.
however.
Zhu Que was preparing to return to the cave warehouse.
However, they discovered that the roads to the hunting area of the "Four Young Masters of Linhe" had been blocked off and were guarded by officials.
"Let's take a detour."
Zhu Que certainly couldn't wait for them to finish hunting before returning, so he prepared to detour through the mountains on the side.
In the desolate mountains and forests, the blazing sun was blocked by the thick canopy of trees, leaving only scattered patches of light falling on the ground.
The air felt stifling, hot, and slightly oppressive, as if trapped in the forest.
Faintly, one could hear the roars of beasts coming from afar; those must be the Four Young Masters of Linhe hunting exotic beasts.
Zhu Que swiftly traversed the mountains and forests.
suddenly.
He stepped into a puddle of liquid.
"Clatter!"
He hadn't paid any attention at first, but he glanced down at it subconsciously. However, that glance made him pause slightly.
The liquid was neither rainwater nor mud.
Instead, it was a pool of thick, fresh blood.
"..."
Zhu Que frowned slightly, before he could react—
"Clatter!"
A drop of warm blood fell onto his shoulder.
Zhu Que slowly raised his head and looked up.
All that could be seen was the treetop.
A ferocious figure was lurking among the branches.
It was that ape-like beast, with thick limbs, scales covering its body, and fierce eyes staring intently at him.
