23 A Slightly Unforeseen Incident... (2)
Finally, after many days and nights without sleep, the old librarian finally managed to crack the mysterious seal after utilizing all of his knowledge only to find the following written in heaven moving caligraphy:
Coiling Dragon Bullsh*t Seal!
Materials:
Diagrams:
Method to unseal any scroll:
Notes: The seal can be reactivated by doing the following:
The Librarian: ...
Taking out the materials list and diagram he realised that it was made of a mixture of incredibly common materials.
Setting it up on his floor, the librarian tested the seal with a blank scroll. Opening it with the described method was easier than feeling bad after taking candy from a child as a good samaritan. Re-rolling the scroll he found that although the seal did not reactivate it left a beautiful design on the paper unless, of course, it was broken using his original way.
Writing a letter addressed to an old friend on the scroll, he injected his spiritual energy into the scroll and shouted: Coiling Dragon Bullsh*t Seal! Reactivate! Sprinkling a little bit of the dust from an exploded piece of the 1000 year crystal iron, the elder saw the lines flash and begin to shimmer in a reddish light once more.
Tossing it to a bird that suddenly flew down through the window, it caught it and flew off to a place unknown.
--- In an unknown place
Huh? What's this? Very few people know that I reside here... Taking the scroll from the bird he admired the designs on it as he read the title:
It's Me. Included: Secret Technique Coiling Dragon-- The words were cut off.
Intrigued, the elder examined the scroll but couldn't find a way to open it. Knowing that it was from a certain old man he suddenly thought about the oncoming headache. If he didn't respond in 3 days there would be 2 sent, then 4, then 8, then 16...
「I'm too old for this!」
As the elder further examined the scroll he only became more baffled. This was a challenge, not his integrity as one of the highest-ranking array masters in the continent! Not only was it a challenge, but it was also an Insult! Such a baffling illogical thing preventing him from opening the scroll threatening to destroy it should any mishaps happen. Spending a few days attempting to decipher it he couldn't make any headway before a thought suddenly occurred to him, what if this was a trick... Something so illogical could not possibly exist and be so strong. Taking a dull knife he attempted to cut along the edge of the page... Nothing.
Slipping it in between the pages he slid it along the edge as the restriction abruptly collapsed and stopped glowing leaving behind the mysterious misleading patterns.
Hehehehehehe Old man, how'd ya like that! The Young Sectmaster created a new sealing technique called the Coiling Dragon Bullsh*t Seal. It can be considered a secret paper patterning technique of the sect... Location [...]
「... I hate you!! I'm gonna' find you and beat the cheekiness out of you!」
As soon as the old man rose into the air, he flew towards the provided location at top speed.
--- Myriad Dao Sect
BOOM! ~~~
An old man appeared in the sky above the Myriad Dao Sect. A peal of eerie laughter rang out from the library immediately after
「Ling Chuan! You cheeky brat!」
「Senior brother, how'd you like it? A seven-year-old came up with that.」
「Wait, you haven't gone insane from holing up and reading all those books? Your mind hasn't been corrupted right? Wait, You said a seven-year-old came up with that! Show me! I don't believe you. I will beat the mental corruption out of you if what you say is false!」
All the disciples of a certain master that wreaked havoc across the continent a few thousand years ago were all strange.
「Senior, are sure that you are not the one who has mental corruption? You are thinking of unlawfully obtaining the secrets of a small child!」
「Unlawfully?」
「Of course, it says right here in the sect rules that anyone who threatens the wellbeing of the sect is to be deemed as an enemy.」
「And who is the sect master?」
「The child...」
「And your sanity?」
「Not needed.」
「Why would you come here of all places?」
「What ould you do if a mysterious window suddenly appeared in front of you in all script and asked you to join some weak faction in the middle of nowhere promising a bright future?」
「Decline.」
「What if the two options on the panel were [Yes] and [Hek Yea]」
「... I hope you didn't choose the second one... Wait, don't tell me, knowing you you definitely did.」
「So, would you like to join?」
「As a disciple? NO!」
「Obiously not, as a sect protector, as you're at the half-step void realm you are qualified to be a sect protector.」
「What level is the sect master supposed to be at?」
「Void.」
「Extravagant. Void realms could be considered sect ancestors at the centre of the continent.」
「So, you want to join? There is a seven-year-old that can make black gold-ranked techniques~~」
「... Fine, If I can get a Divine Tier technique when he matures in a thousand years It'll be worth it!」
Ping! Welcome unforeseen guest, please sign the contract.
With a ping, a translucent window appeared before him.
「Who are You!」
「I am Ming-Yue, Xiao ming for short, the sect spirit.」
「Sect... Spirit?」
「Yes! I am the sect spirit... although I am unable to materialise as of now after master turns this sect into a massive battleship I will be able to do as I please!」
「How come I've never heard of you before?」
「... The master convinced me to become the sect spirit just now.」
「I don't think it works like that.」
「I was originally his brick spirit.」
The Librarian: ...
The Lybriarian's senior: ...
「Bricks can have spirits?」
「Of course! The master said that I should become the sect spirit because I've been with him the longest and that my brick was probably going to host another spirit... Oh, look, there's the tribulation!~」
Looking off into the distance, one could see a black brick rushing into the clouds of lightning.
---
「Another spirit... that's three now.」
「Three?!」
「Of course, that warship over there also has one.」
「What warsh... oh... IS that thing made of 1000 year crystal Iron? How'd you guys manage that? That stuff explodes too easily and is impractical.」
「Take a closer look, That took the Young Sect Master around a month to create.」
「A month?」
「Yes.」
「The great sects would need at least 6 months to gather the materials and make it.」
「The Young Sect Master seems to always have materials with him. He even distributes 1kg to trial disciples, 5kg to outer disciples and 10kg of 1000 year crystal iron to everyone monthly. Us elders can use however much we want at the price of 1 mid-grade spirit stone or 1kg. It costs much more for normal disciples to get more.」
「The secret paper patterning technique?」
「Here, It will automatically erase itself after some time.」
Coiling Dragon Bullsh*t Seal:
「... The materials are surprisingly common, but, why are they so common, and why is the seal so strong except against a certain fatal weakness?」
「We can fix that by putting end caps on the scroll.」(Person 2)
「Who are you?」
「As the Young Sect Master, I naturally have the duty to greet a new sect protector level figure.」
「You know already?」
「Of course, this is my sect after all.」
「Qi gathering.」
「So?」
「You're the one who made this?」
「And?」
「How? This is completely illogical.」
「By mixing a bunch of materials, laying them out in a theorised pattern, and letting them do their magic. The pattern is completely random, but, if you were to use the spiritual imprinting method in the library then a unique pattern will form according to the spiritual imprint placed.」
「... I don't have any of the most common materials with me... I haven't needed them for a while.」
「You can prevent it from being reactivated by drawing an isolation array on the outermost part of the inside of the scroll before sealing. We sell CDBS kits, materials for 1, 5, and 10. Materials for 1 cost 3 spirit stones, 5 costs 7 spirit stones, and 10 costs 10 spirit stones, all lowgrade of course.」
「Can it work on other materials?」
「I don't know, let's see.」
Taking out a bottle of the ink and a few other materials, Chen Hua drew out a pattern and shaped a small piece of crystal iron into the form of a token. Placing it into the centre he sealed it.
Flashing with a reddish shimmering light, the lines flowed onto the token and incorporated themselves into the iron...
「I can't activate the array on this... It works.」
「So, these things can easily be destroyed from the inside, right?」
「You want something hard to destroy from the inside?」
「Of course.」
「You're welcome to do some research with me until the selection test.」
「Selection test?」
「There is one at the start of next month... Going back to the research we should incorporate a certain banned substance...」
「Yong Sect MAster, I don't think that that is the greatest of ideas.」(Ling Chuan)
「It'll be fine, If improperly opened, the scroll will shoot out a bunch of the stuff at the person, a great idea, right?」
「That dastardly abomination should be destroyed with the glitter removal fluid.」
「Read this.」
Pulling out a certain scroll Chen Hua thew it to the librarian (Ling Chuan)
Librarian: ... ._. -_- o_O o_0 0_0 ㅜ_ㅜ ㅠ_ㅠ ...
Taking the scroll the librarian took it, re-rolled it, and reactivated the seal. Handing it back to Chen Hua he said, 「Seal it properly... When you are done I'll put it on the top floor of the library in some corner.」
-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- And that's how a kid and old geezer got themselves holed up in a dark room researching and creating useless but fancy things with materials that cost basically nothing that literally no one but a few mavericks would find a use for.
Created Items: - Bullsh*t Series
Coiling Dragon Bullsh*t Seal (Improved (will form a barrier on the ends of the scroll)
Glitter Orb: Will form glitter into a solid orb, disintegrates upon impact.
BS Bottle: Will weaken a bottle to just barely being able to hold the fluid within. Any disturbance and it will break.
81 Heavenly BS Seals: 81 different seals placed upon something. They absorb all spiritual energy within them evenly distributing it. When spiritual energy is supplied from the outside it remains in the outer layer. If too much energy is absorbed in the outer layer all layers collapse.
Spiritual BS Battery: Will store spiritual energy within it. If too much is stored it will explode, if too much is taken out it will collapse...
Ding! 1 Day until the Selection Test begins.

New Mission: Inner and Outer Disciples
Details: 5 Inner Disciples and 25 Outer Disciples are needed to help guide the 5 members of the Myriad Dao Alliance's disciples to the Entrance Exam.
New Mission: Trial Disciples: Pass the entrance exam to become an outer disciple.
Starting up the warship, Chen Hua seated himself in the 'captains' seat in the main control room, why did he set it up like this? No one knows, although it was quite convenient to be able to control the entire ship from one room rather than have people spread about.
「Xiao Yu, This will be the first time you take flight, are you ready?」
「Yes! Xiao Yu will do her best!」
「There are a few rules for being a warship spirit, and they are: Make sure to check all systems before every takeoff and report their status, they should all be 100 per cent functioning. Upon take off greet the people on board. Always be on the lookout for hostilities when outside of a safe area (the sect). Notify the person highest in command on the ship of incoming creatures or things.」
--- a few minutes later:
「Welcome aboard, I am Xiao Yu, the spirit of this warship!」
「Wow~ So cute!」
「A Spirit!」...
「Welcome, Inner disciples follow me, outer disciples, there are a few rooms prepared for you outside of the main control room.」
Walking up to the large door of the main control room, Chen Hua Held up 3 different keys at 3 points on the door as it light up and slid into the floor also covering a pit in the floor preventing anyone who was monstrous enough to barge through the door.
What greeted them was 3 more ridiculously thick doors until a room covered in arrays and inscriptions appeared before them with various controls and displays.
「Wow! What's this?」
