Chapter 104: Senior Brother, Recorded In History
Shen Tian pondered over the matter and then said with a smile, “Junior Brother, you must regard me as an outsider if you’re saying something like you’ll become my follower. Since we are both fellow sect members. or better brothers, we should help and support each other as we walk down the road of cultivation. Not to mention the fact that both of us adore the art of explosion, we are already bosom friends.”
Shen Tian continued. “What are bosom friends? Bosom friends are those that enjoy blessings and endure misfortune together. I’ll teach you everything I know, of course! However, if I encounter danger in the future, could you come and help me without contacting your family elders?
Qin Yundi nodded with a determined look. “Senior Brother, it’s my mistake for treating you as an outsider. I am grateful to you.”
Shen Tian smiled and said, “Actually, I do know a method of improving the explosion.”
Shen Tian curved his lips upon seeing the narrow-eyed Qin Yundi stare at him with a burning gaze. He smiled and said, “Junior Brother, just try to create two Yin-Yang Divine Lightning first with my method.”
Qin Yundi nodded and converted the ball of lake water in his hands to hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis. He took out a talisman, swiftly engraved a Qi Gathering Array, and then the hydrogen and oxygen were absorbed into the talisman.
The cost of a Qi Gathering Talisman was quite cheap, not even 1/10 of the Lightning Explosion Talisman. Of course, there was a limit to the amount of gas that the Qi Gathering Talisman could absorb, so Qin Yundi felt it filled to the brim quickly.
The Qi Gathering Talisman was shining with fluorescent light, a beautiful spectacle.
Qin Yundi took out a second Qi Gathering Talisman and started gathering gas again.
Shortly after, the two Qi Gathering Talismans, which were filled with hydrogen and oxygen, appeared in Qin Yundi’s hands.
He engraved a simple detonation rune on the two Qi Gathering Talismans and handed them to Shen Tian.
Shen Tian nodded.
Qin Yundi is really blessed with providence. After I just taught him to use lightning to separate water, he could directly draw inferences from it and use the Qi Gathering Talisman to preserve the electrolysis-generated hydrogen and oxygen, directly mass-producing them.
No wonder he is Qin•Lavoisier•Yundi!
Shen Tian smirked, took out a Qi Gathering Talisman, and threw it toward an empty space beside the lake. After the Qi Gathering Talisman flew about 20+ meters away, Shen Tian made a hand seal and detonated the Qi Gathering Talisman.
Boom!
A loud sound instantly echoed, and another blue lotus flower bloomed. In the next instant, a huge hole, about seven to eight meters wide, appeared on the originally smooth, flat shore. The huge hole was as deep as a tall person, and a layer of transparent crystals could be seen at the bottom.
Qin Yundi’s eyes lit up as he marveled at the huge hole. “Senior Brother, the explosion power of this talisman could threaten Foundation Establishment cultivators. However, its lethal range is too small, while the speed at which the talisman flies is too slow. Thus, someone can easily evade it.”
Shen Tian nodded before he gradually walked to the bottom of the huge hole and picked up the crystals. He placed the crystals on the talisman and bundled it up into a small ball the size of a fist. Then, Shen Tian placed the small ball onto the ground and gradually retreated 20 meters away.
After pondering for a moment, he still thought it was not safe enough, so he took out his Black Tortoise Shield. He turned to look at Qin Yundi and reminded him, “Junior Brother, come. It’s safer to hide behind me.”
Qin Yundi smiled with his narrow eyes and said, “Senior Brother, you’re worrying too much. I’m not afraid of the explosion impact of such a Lightning Explosion Talisman.”
Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought before he nodded. His Black Tortoise Shield suddenly emitted dense black light, which condensed and formed a black energy barrier.
After confirming that his whole body was covered and protected by the Black Tortoise Shield’s energy barrier, Shen Tian activated the detonation rune.
Boom!
A loud sound echoed like before, and the same blue fire lotus flower appeared. However, this time, within the eight-meter-radius, there were plenty of small holes too. These small holes were drilled deep into the beach; it was unknown how deep they were.
What was worth mentioning was that there were a few propylitic boulders on the Mirror Moon Lake. It was shocking to see the state of the few propylitic boulders, which were within the Lightning Explosion Talisman’s explosion range.
One could see vast holes, cracks, or even fragments of the high-speed crystals on each propylitic boulder.
Shen Tian could feel that something had collided with his Black Tortoise Shield, as the shock from the impact had numbed his hands to some extent. Fortunately, Shen Tian was powerful enough, and the Black Tortoise Shield’s defense was indeed top-notch, so there was not much of a problem.
When Shen Tian turned to look at Qin Yundi, he could not help but laugh.
Qin Yundi, who had been well-dressed, clean, and tidy, looked just like a beggar now as his clothes were riddled with holes. Unexpectedly, such perfectly good protective clothing had directly been destroyed.
At the same time, his face was as white as a sheet, probably because some of the fragments had struck him, almost killing him.
Luckily, even though the protective clothing had been destroyed, it had still blocked the fragments. Although there had just been a disruption in his Qi and blood circulation, his injury was not serious.
Qin Yundi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said in astonishment, “Such a powerful explosion! It is enough to injure even late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators!”
Although Qin Yundi had used 600 Lightning Explosion Talismans to set up the Lightning Explosion Talisman Array that had trapped and killed a powerful late-stage Golden Core monster, the power of each Lightning Explosion Talisman had only been barely enough to injure early- to mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.
Most importantly, the cost of 600 Lightning Explosion Talismans had nearly made Qin Yundi go bankrupt!
Not only is the cost of such a Yin-Yang Lightning Talisman that Senior Brother invented only 1/10 of the original, but it is also simple to make!
Its lethality has significantly increased after adding hard objects, making it even more powerful than the Lightning Explosion Talisman.
If Qin Yundi could equip himself with 6,000 of such talismans, he would even dare to kill peak-stage Golden Core cultivators!
Shen Tian noticed Qin Yundi’s stupefied expression and smirked. “This is only the simplest and crudest version. If Junior Brother Yundi is interested, you can change these crystals to harder Spirit Iron Steel Balls. Under the impact of such a powerful explosion, these Spirit Iron Steel Balls would be shot vigorously in all directions. I believe you can imagine its might!”
The light in Qin Yundi’s eyes became brighter and brighter, as he felt that his Senior Brother had opened a new door for him.
In the past, Qin Yundi had always been thinking of how to improve the runes or array formations when researching the Lightning Explosion Talisman. As such, he had not discovered that he could add other materials to increase its lethality.
Two fine examples were the Yin-Yang Divine Lightning, which included the Yin and Yang atoms, and the Yin-Yang Penetrating Divine Lightning, which included the Spirit Iron Steel Balls.
If he could really create such things, it would definitely cause a huge uproar in Eastern Wilderness’ whole Lightning Talisman market!
Shen Tian grinned upon seeing Qin Yundi’s dumbstruck expression and added, “Of course, this too is the simple and crude version. If Junior Brother Yundi could make these Spirit Iron Steel Balls shoot toward a designated direction, like arrows, then the maneuverability of such a Divine Lightning would be stronger. How about you try imagining being able to pinpoint where to attack with that lethality?”
At that moment, Qin Yundi’s narrow eyes, which were like slits for more than 10 years, opened widely in astonishment.
A scene appeared in his mind:
It was a weak Qi Refinement cultivator. That cultivator held the Divine Lightning Dharma artifact, which he had created, and stuffed a Yin-Yang Lightning Explosion Talisman into it. Afterward, the cultivator lifted that Dharma artifact and pointed it toward a monster in front of him, which was in the peak-stage of Foundation Establishment. Then, he suddenly activated the Lightning Talisman to shoot out specially-created Spirit Iron Steel Balls.
After a loud sound, the Spirit Iron Steel Balls penetrated that Foundation Establishment monster, creating holes throughout its body!
Qin Yundi had a strong instinctive feeling that if he could invent such a Dharma artifact, he shall be recorded in the Divine Firmament Sacred Ground’s history with his Senior Brother!
It was all because such a Dharma artifact would make low-stage cultivators terrifyingly powerful!
