Chapter 1671: So Ancient Talismans Can Be Simple Too
Through Luo Feiyu's words, Lin Moyu confirmed his suspicions. Lin
The black stone from ancient times has the ability to self-repair.
However, this ability has certain limitations. It can repair breaks but cannot fix some surface scratches.
There is still a scratch on this stone, a very fine one, likely made by some sharp tool.
The stone has not repaired this scratch, perhaps because it hasn't reached the threshold for repair.
But at the broken corner, the stone automatically repaired itself. The repaired part is not smooth and can be distinctly felt.
This also explains why Lin Moyu saw many scratches on the walls of the mysterious manor.
Countless years have passed, and the scratches have not disappeared.
It also explains why the stones cannot be separated.
Due to the self-repairing nature, they will automatically stick to other ancient black stones, forming a whole.
This material from ancient times is quite magical.
Luo Feiyu said, "I have nothing valuable except this unknown stone and the wine from the Luo family."
"I don't know if this stone will be useful to you, Brother Lin."
Lin Moyu held the stone in his hand, "I don't know if it's useful, but I once wanted to obtain it and failed. I cannot refuse Brother Luo's kindness."
Without much formality, Lin Moyu accepted the stone straightforwardly.
Seeing Lin Moyu accept the stone, Luo Feiyu was overjoyed, "Brother Lin, please wait in the courtyard for a moment. I'll fetch some good wine for you to enjoy."
With that, Luo Feiyu flew to his family's wine cellar to get wine for Lin Moyu.
Lin Moyu returned to the courtyard and continued to examine the black stone.
Something he once sought but couldn't obtain was now in his hand. It would be a shame not to study it thoroughly.
From the surface, it looked no different from an ordinary stone.
Apart from being particularly light and hard, there was nothing unusual about it.
If there was something strange, it must be inside the stone.
He extended his soul power, trying to penetrate the stone.
As expected, his soul power was blocked, unable to enter.
"The Luo family must have tried various methods, so I don't need to try those again."
"Then, the only methods left are those the Luo family doesn't have."
In his soul world, the Eye of the Soul slowly opened.
The world changed, and lines of laws appeared in his vision.
The Eye of the Soul at the Beyond Realm level broke through the surface illusion of the world, revealing a more real interior.
Sure enough, Lin Moyu saw something different.
A large number of runes appeared on the black stone in his hand.
Countless runes intertwined, ultimately forming a special rune.
"An ancient talisman!"
Lin Moyu's heart trembled, "The black stone from ancient times is indeed related to ancient talismans."
He had already suspected this. The stone was both light and hard, two completely different properties coexisting, indicating that its rules had been altered.
Only an ancient talisman could change rules and maintain them for so many years.
Now that he saw it, it was indeed an ancient talisman, making everything clear.
Ancient talismans are three-dimensional, and the runes on the stone's surface are just the exterior.
These runes extend from the outside to the inside, ultimately converging and forming an ancient talisman inside the stone.
It is this ancient talisman that transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, giving the stone its amazing properties.
The true power of the black stone does not lie in the stone itself but in the ancient talisman inside.
Lin Moyu thought that if this ancient talisman were placed on another material, it might achieve similar effects.
Having understood the essence, the next step was to understand what kind of ancient talisman it was.
However, it seemed that the ancient talisman inside the black stone was one of the simplest types.
The ancient talismans in the Divine City Star Domain and the ancient talisman in the severed finger outside the Divine City were much more complex.
The ancient talismans at the core of any secret realm were more complex than the one inside the black stone.
The difference was like night and day, incomparable.
Lin Moyu found it amusing.
"Have I skipped a grade?"
Learning runes is a process, step by step.
He had thought all ancient talismans were extremely complex, but now he realized he was wrong.
There are simpler ancient talismans in this world.
He had started with complex, high-level ancient talismans, like learning advanced mathematics without finishing elementary school, no wonder it was so difficult.
Luo Feiyu returned with two jars of wine.
The jars were much smaller, each holding only fifty jin.
Luo Feiyu placed the two jars on the ground, "This is the oldest wine in our Luo family, each jar over three thousand years old."
"But there isn't much of this wine left. I managed to find only two jars."
Lin Moyu did not refuse and directly accepted the two jars of wine, "I won't be polite then."
Luo Feiyu quickly waved his hand, "You are my savior. This wine is nothing."
An unknown stone and two jars of aged wine were nothing compared to Lin Moyu's kindness in Luo Feiyu's eyes.
But he also understood the principle of not overdoing it. Insisting on repaying too much would seem insincere.
He considered Lin Moyu a friend, which was much better.
Moreover, he genuinely felt this way.
Lin Moyu held the ancient black stone, his curiosity piqued by the ancient talisman on it, eager to study it.
"Brother Luo, could you find me a quiet room?"
Luo Feiyu immediately pointed to his own quiet room, "Use this one. The other rooms aren't as good."
Lin Moyu didn't stand on ceremony and directly entered the quiet room.
The door of the quiet room closed, and the formation inside began to operate.
The formation brought light to the room, making it not dim.
Lin Moyu opened the Eye of the Soul and began to study the ancient talisman on the black stone.
In the main hall of the Luo family, Luo Feiyu met his father, Luo Hong, the head of the Luo family and a third-stage God Sovereign.
Besides Luo Hong, there was an elder with an even more profound aura.
This was Luo Feiyu's grandfather, Luo Shatian.
Luo Shatian was already a sixth-stage God Sovereign, just one step away from the seventh stage.
If he reached the seventh stage, the Luo family could enter the intermediate area of the Divine City and enjoy better resources.
Both of them were well aware of Luo Feiyu's situation but were helpless.
They had sought help from other God Sovereigns, but the answer was always the same.
The one who tied the bell must untie it. This matter could only be resolved by Luo Feiyu himself; others were powerless.
They had given up hope, but unexpectedly, Luo Feiyu had broken and then rebuilt, not only healing his state of mind but also brightening his future.
Luo Hong asked, "Did he accept the two jars of wine?"
Luo Feiyu honestly replied, "He did."
"Good. Did you mention the purpose of the wine?"
Luo Feiyu shook his head, "I didn't think it was necessary. Saying too much would seem deliberate."
Luo Shatian said, "Feiyu is right. No need to be deliberate. When he drinks the wine, he will naturally understand."
Luo Hong said, "We don't have much of this wine left in the Luo family. But being able to befriend a top genius like Lin Moyu is worth it."
Luo Shatian asked, "Feiyu, did he say he had seen that stone before?"
Luo Feiyu nodded, "Brother Lin said the stone is from ancient times. He saw it on the battlefield but doesn't know its specific use."
Luo Shatian said softly, "We've studied it for so many years without understanding it. If he can use it, it will be put to good use."
Luo Hong advised, "Feiyu, Lin Moyu is a dragon among men and will surely soar to great heights. In the future, you should try to befriend him and become friends."
Luo Feiyu nodded, "I treat him sincerely, and he treats me sincerely. We are already friends."
