The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 278 - 277 What Use Do I Have for This Divine Artifact
Lin Yun was unaware of what was going through Snow Maiden’s mind. In any case, he couldn’t let Snow Maiden know about his forceful seizure of the treasure. As of now, the fact that Snow Maiden had obtained a Divine Artifact seemed to have made her quite happy.
Indeed, Divine Artifacts were extremely rare. The only well-known Divine Artifacts among the Central Plains Human Race were the two knives in the hands of Flower Fairy. Lin Yun believed there must be some hidden away, but they were certainly scarce.
"My Divine Artifact has some moves that are strong and fierce. What about yours?"
Lin Yun took the opportunity to fish for information about Snow Maiden’s bracelet. In the future, they might become enemies. Taking advantage of her current trust in him, he wanted to probe her secrets for future contingencies.
Snow Maiden was indeed unguarded. Seeing Lin Yun’s curiosity, she directly replied, "There are no specific moves, just the ’Guard’, ’Parry’, ’Strike’, ’Trapping’, ’Commanding’, ’Illusion’, and ’Storage’ seven true mantras."
As she spoke, Snow Maiden demonstrated some of the effects. ’Guard’ mantra was for defense; Fulong enlarged to the size of a hula hoop, forming a blue ring of light around her.
’Illusion’ was for changing shape; Fulong turned into a long ribbon that wrapped around her body under her control, making her look like a mummy with only her head exposed.
This also made Snow Maiden’s figure all the more apparent, and Lin Yun found it quite tantalizing.
’Storage’ was for storing things.
Snow Maiden took the ice cones Lin Yun had brought back and helped store them in the small space within Fulong.
Lin Yun’s eyes nearly turned green with envy.
There were not storage rings readily available in this world. Lin Yun had always wanted one but never managed to get his hands on it, and now he watched as that possibility slipped away before his eyes.
If he had known about this earlier, he would have burned that bracelet first. After burning his useless spear, which became a halberd, it could only be used for fighting.
Lin Yun swallowed his sour feelings and, enduring the bitterness, said, "Are the other mantras all for use in battle? Perfect, why don’t we have a match?"
Lin Yun issued a challenge. It just so happened that Snow Maiden had just received her Divine Artifact and also wanted to test its power. The instant she thought about it, the blue ribbon that was wrapped around her turned back into rings.
With such a stance in battle, it was truly exciting.
Lin Yun did not hold back. Holding the halberd, he directly slashed at her. Snow Maiden used the ’Parry’ mantra with a casual flick of her wrist and blocked the fierce strike effortlessly; the rings did not even move an inch. She then took the opportunity to clamp down on the sides of Lin Yun’s halberd, attempting to snatch his weapon.
Lin Yun pulled hard, causing Snow Maiden to almost lose her balance.
Snow Maiden did not expect Lin Yun to be so strong. Although she was proficient in spells, her physical strength was not weak either. Although she appeared frail, she could outmatch Zhang Ling in sheer strength. It surprised her that Lin Yun was so formidable, nearly causing her to slip up.
It was because she had restrained her full strength, not going all out. But her reaction was swift; the rings slipped from her hands, expanding a bit, and flew straight at Lin Yun. Lin Yun deflected the rings. Snow Maiden gestured, activating both the ’Commanding’ and ’Illusion’ mantras simultaneously. One ring changed into five, and under her command, they struck towards Lin Yun.
Lin Yun couldn’t help but exclaim, "Damn!" The Divine Artifact of Snow Maiden was called Fulong, which sounded like a fierce and formidable weapon. However, its unpredictable changes surprised him. His own weapon was called Qiaobian, which was just like a hunk of iron. Aside from those techniques, he didn’t see any ’ingenious changes’ in it.
The five rings were not only remotely controlled by Snow Maiden, but they also embodied all Five Elements. ’Commanding’ was not only for Snow Maiden’s remote manipulation, but also for commanding the power of the Five Elements.
’Illusion’ was not just for resizing but also for multiplying several more.
Lin Yun was extremely envious.
"You change for me too!"
Lin Yun was not convinced and communicated with Qiaobian. To his surprise, it really did change.
The original Fangtian Huaji turned into a long spear, and the thirty-six martial techniques also changed into spear techniques. Lin Yun displayed them one by one, but none escaped Snow Maiden’s simple ’Parry’.
"If I just think about it, it’s a guaranteed 100% block or parry, what’s the point in fighting like this!"
Lin Yun was about to give up when he launched a long spear thrust for the last time, and the Snow Maiden, feeling that the play was about enough, used a Trapping Mantra. The large circle immediately shrank, catching Lin Yun’s long spear, and then with a wave of her hand, the spear and the circle were in the Snow Maiden’s possession.
Lin Yun: "..."
This Divine Artifact, might as well not have it!
Seeing that Lin Yun was somewhat unhappy, the Snow Maiden released the circle and returned the long spear to Lin Yun, consoling him, "You’re already very powerful. It’s just that I feel my Fulong perfectly counters your Divine Weapon. It’s no surprise that you lost."
Even though it was meant to console, her words were true.
With the Snow Maiden’s circle snaring it, Lin Yun’s long spear had no chance to fight back before it was taken.
Moreover, Lin Yun’s spear and halberd techniques were very flexible and ever-changing, but with the Snow Maiden’s parry, whether it was the spear or the halberd, no matter how he thrusted or stabbed, the circle blocked it all.
"I know, losing to big sis isn’t shameful."
Lin Yun took the long spear, thought for a moment, and transformed it back into a sword, instantly adding thirty-six sword moves in his mind.
Well, is this the correct way to use it?
Hearing Lin Yun calling her ’big sis,’ the Snow Maiden felt a bit embarrassed and she turned the circle into cloth wrapping herself, saying, "Speaking of which, you’ve been training here for several days now. The Grand Shaman and I have been worried. It’s about time to head back."
"But I haven’t picked the Snow Lotus yet."
"That’s true. I’ll take you to the Snow Lotus Cave!"
She was afraid that Lin Yun might get lost again, so she decided to lead him personally. Lin Yun didn’t refuse, he had been on the mountain long enough, and was not aware of the current situation in the Central Plains. Staying on the mountain also made it inconvenient to interfere with the Grassland’s battle situation and relay intelligence.
Snow Mountain is a great place. When the war is over, I’ll come back to fleece the Xuanwu Divine Power’s wool.
With the Snow Maiden leading the way, finding the Snow Lotus Cave became much easier. The two sped their way there, and upon arrival at the Snow Lotus Cave, Lin Yun saw a cave full of white lotus flowers and the thick, pure Divine Power.
He really wanted to absorb it, but Lin Yun didn’t.
The Snow Maiden had already warned him about the taboos of the Snow Lotus Cave before: one should not cultivate there, as it was a place where Gods nurtured Spiritual Medicine.
If Lin Yun secretly absorbed the power and the Snow Maiden found out, things would not be good. He had to respectfully pick a blooming white lotus flower, but in his heart, he was thinking that when he had the power, he would come back and stealthily take some away.
This Snow Lotus flower is quite a treasure, the best healing medicine, and it doesn’t need to be processed; eating it directly would suffice.
The Snow Lotus flowers picked by warriors during their trials were of weaker effect. They had healing properties but were mostly used for cultivation. After descending the mountain, consuming the Snow Lotus would further enhance their physical strength.
Every hundred years, the Grand Shaman gets to pick a Snow Lotus, and this type of Snow Lotus has much stronger effects. As long as one is not completely dead and the Divine Soul is intact, no matter how severe the bodily injuries are, eating a petal can instantly heal.
Listening to the Snow Maiden’s explanation, Lin Yun was immediately tempted, and suddenly heard her say, "When we descend the mountain, I’ll give you two flowers. Keep them safe."
Lin Yun: "..."
Is this the joy of being kept?
