Chapter 160: Chapter 159: Granny Ma Gives a Treasure
In the center of the Moon Ring, two tiny ancient characters were inscribed, which were indeed ancient seal script. Shen Luo had happened to see these two characters when he was reading the Naless Heavenly Book. They were the words “Half Moon”.
“I’ve lost all my mana and can’t help you now. This Half-moon Ring is a magical instrunt left by my father, it’s a top-grade magical instrunt with nine-layer restrictions. I give it to you.” Granny Ma looked at the silver Moon Ring in her hand with a nostalgic look, then handed it to Shen Luo.
“Nine-layer restriction? Top-grade magical instrunt?” Shen Luo took the silver Moon Ring with curiosity.
“What? Is there a problem?” Granny Ma asked strangely.
“I have no master and know very little about magical instrunts and the Dao of prohibitions, please enlighten Granny Ma.” Shen Luo politely requested.
“What! You have no master? Have you been studying cultivation on your own all this ti?” Granny Ma was shocked.
“Indeed!” Shen Luo nodded.
Granny Ma opened her eyes wide in surprise, unable to accept that Shen Luo was a pure freelance cultivator, and her plan to take advantage of Shen Luo’s sect fell through.
“Tsk tsk, before my Dantian was damaged, I always thought my cultivation talent was quite good. But compared to you, Friend Shen, I feel like a minor sorcerer before a great wizard. You’re only about twenty years old and you could cultivate to such a realm all by yourself.” Granny Ma praised.
“You’re too kind Granny Ma, my cultivation is nothing but a fluke, so I really need your guidance regarding magical instrunts.” Shen Luo changed the subject.
“Alright then. A magical instrunt is actually a weapon that contains the power of prohibitions internally. Unlike talismanic instrunts, which rely solely on attached talismans, magical instrunts rely on internal prohibitions. The power of the two is incomparable.” Granny Ma explained.
Shen Luo nodded. He was aware of this knowledge.
“The foundation of a magical instrunt lies in the prohibitions it contains. The more layers of prohibitions it has, the higher the grade of the magical instrunt. Generally speaking, those containing one to three layers of prohibitions are considered low-grade magical instrunts, four to six layers are mid-grade, and seven to nine layers are top-grade. The Half-moon Ring is the highest grade of top-grade magical instrunts.” Granny Ma did not dwell on this and continued to explain.
“Thank you for the gift, Granny. I actually possess a magical instrunt too, but it requires refining to activate, and I don’t know the art of refining. So, I’m afraid I won’t be able to fully utilize the power of this Half-moon Ring.” On hearing this, Shen Luo, sowhat surprised, gave a wry smile as he looked at the magical instrunt in his hand.
“You don’t know the thod of refining? No problem, I can pass on to you a spell for refining.” Granny Ma said.
“Thank you, Granny Ma!” Shen Luo was thrilled and bowed in gratitude.
“This technique is a secret passed down by our Mount Fangcun. According to the rules of our sect, it should not be taught to outsiders. But now that Mount Fangcun is in this state, there’s no need to abide by this rule.” Granny Ma sighed a little, then recited a magic spell.
This magic spell was called the Ninety-Nine Wealth Technique. It was not long, only a thousand characters or so, and Shen Luo soon morized it.
“You don’t have much ti. Refine it here and then you must hurry on.” Granny Ma urged.
“Yes!”
Shen Luo said, sitting cross-legged. He comprehended this technique once, then spat out a ball of his mana, which entered the Half-moon Ring.
At the sa ti, he ford the magic spell with both hands. A stream of blue light shot out from his fingertips and landed on the Half-moon Ring.
The Half-moon Ring imdiately reacted and emitted a silver glow. Countless dense silver runes appeared. Each rune was only the size of an ant. They circled around the Half-moon Ring, and then condensed into nine layers of silver formations.
However, these formations seed very vague, giving a sense of illusion.
Shen Luo’s face slightly brightened. He continued to use the magic spell, and soon touched the restriction within the Half-moon Ring.
This restriction gave him a feeling of heaviness far more than the restriction in the Gold rope.
Without any pause, he continued to use the magic spell, perating towards the restriction ahead.
To his surprise, his mana easily entered the heavy restriction as soon as he made a slight impact with the Ninety-Nine Wealth Technique.
Shen Luo was pleased and continued to use the magic spell.
A mont later, the Half-moon Ring suddenly released a clear chirping sound. It shot up from his hand and started to rotate rapidly around his body. It released a bright Treasure Light and nurous silver runes appeared on its surface, making it look extrely mysterious.
One of the layers in the nine silver formations around the ring had beco bright and clear, but the other eight were still sowhat vague.
Shen Luo made a gesture, and the rapidly rotating Half-moon Ring imdiately flew back to him and hovered over his palm.
His gaze pierced at the Half-moon Ring in front of him. Although he had only refined one layer of the restriction, the imposing power of this ring had already greatly surpassed any treasure he had obtained before.
He didn’t try to test the power of the ring. Instead, he put it into his sleeve with a spell, then stood up and said to Granny Ma, “Granny Ma, saving a life is like putting out a fire. I have already delayed a lot of ti. I have to go now.”
“The Beauty Snake is cunning and deceitful, and also naturally suspicious. Be very careful, if you can’t defeat it, co back imdiately. Protect yourself first.” Granny Ma nodded.
Shen Luo acknowledged her, then jumped into the well.
He cast the Water Repelling Technique, a blue light appeared on his body, repelling the well water. He descended rapidly into the well and soon arrived at the entrance to the passageway inside the well.
Instead of entering imdiately, he stretched out one hand, and a blue light appeared in his palm. He began to use the Art of Spirit Communication.
Suddenly, a vortex appeared in the well water around his palm. An aura of demon Qi erged from the center of the vortex, and then with a “splash”, Zhui Tou leaped out of it.
“Hey, why do you always summon when I’m cultivating? If there’s nothing, let go back quickly!” Zhui Tou looked around discontentedly.
“Don’t talk nonsense. It’s urgent, of course I have so work for you, hurry in! Help !” Shen Luo pointed at the passageway without any expression.
Zhui Tou saw Shen Luo’s serious expression, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say sothing, shook his head reluctantly, but ultimately kept his mouth shut. He drew out the Wave-breaking Hamr from behind his back, bent over, and darted into the passageway first.
Shen Luo followed Zhui Tou into the passageway with the blue light flashing all over him.
The passageway was dark and narrow, making it sowhat inconvenient to proceed, but Zhui Tou moved along quite easily. With each swing of his shrimp tail, he flew forward about two or three ters.
“Zhui Tou, don’t go too fast. Our opponent this ti is a Snake Demon, and it’s quite powerful.” Shen Luo reminded.
“Just a Snake Demon? In our Eastern Sea, it’s only considered a lower race and can’t even enter the Dragon Palace. What’s there to fear?” Zhui Tou didn’t care and didn’t slow down his pace.
Shen Luo frowned but didn’t say anything. He tightened his grip on the Half-moon Ring and Gold rope in his sleeves, standing ready to react.
Soon, a rushing sound of water ca from the front, indicating turbulent water flow.
“Be careful!” Shen Luo’s eyes honed in, loudly warning.
