101: Divine magic?
A Formation!
Formations were considered quite rare in this world, let alone this one, which was a renowned ancient Assassination Formation.
What was even more marvelous was that it could actually be used in conjunction with Spirit Taming abilities.
If he laid out the Formation and then added Chi Yu's illusion elements, Little Gu's toxins, and Wu Yun's various abilities... tsk tsk, just thinking about it made his scalp tingle!
Most importantly, Chen Fei could learn this Formation and use slaughter value to increase his proficiency.
This meant that in the future, Chen Fei would no longer have to rely solely on his tamed beasts for combat; he himself would possess a certain level of combat capability.
Even if this ability only served a supportive role, it was still better than doing nothing at all.
As expected of a purple qi spirit ore, the things it produced were truly different.
Similarly, Chen Fei immediately stored it into the Sacred Codex Space, giving Kong Simiao no chance to investigate it.
With the elder's experience, he would surely recognize the wonders of this Formation, and it wouldn't be so easy to get away with it then.
Thus, Chen Fei could only put on a dejected expression and complain, "Manager Zhao, how is your shop's signature spirit ore even more of a scam than the small and medium-sized ones!"
Zhao Yu laughed internally, finally making a profit off this kid, though he didn't dare show it on his face.
"Mr. Chen, you must be joking. Stone gambling has always been about wins and losses; no one is a constant victor.
Perhaps Mr. Chen's next one will yield a treasure!"
Chen Fei feigned indignation: "Then I'll take your word for it. Open this one for me!"
Seeing Chen Fei's piqued state, Zhao Yu was in high spirits.
Only when this kid was unsettled would he make more mistakes.
Yuwen Kang, however, was a bit surprised. Given Chen Fei's eye for detail and how he had navigated the medium-sized spirit ores with ease, there was no reason for him to fail repeatedly with the signature ones.
Could it be that he was holding out for something big?
With such curiosity, Yuwen Kang watched on patiently.
As the spirit ore was shaved thinner and thinner, something substantial could be seen through the jade-like material, and Spiritual Qi was surging within.
Could he really be pulling off a big move?
When the final cut fell, a crystal box appeared, and inside the box was a perfectly preserved male corpse.
Dressed in ancient clothing with long hair, he was clearly not from this era.
"Look, there's a red casket cushioned under his head."
Following the person's reminder, everyone noticed the object and became curious for a moment!
But no matter how anxious they were, it was useless; after all, the person who could make the decision was Chen Fei.
Chen Fei looked at Kong Simiao: "Elder Kong, in this situation, should we open the crystal box?"
He really didn't have any experience with this sort of thing, so it was never wrong to ask an elder.
Kong Simiao remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Whether to open it or not depends on you!
However, my personal suggestion is that even if you want to take that red casket, try to preserve the corpse intact. It holds great historical research significance."
Chen Fei nodded: "I understand. Everyone, please step back."
Then, he commanded: "Wu Yun, Vacuum Extraction!"
First, he had a vacuum formed around the crystal box, then he shattered the box. After taking out the casket, he had Little Gu reconstruct a crystal box.
In this way, the corpse could remain in a vacuum environment throughout.
The way Kong Simiao looked at Chen Fei changed: "Mr. Chen, this move of yours is impressive. It's perfect for the world of archaeology. I wonder if Mr. Chen is interested in joining the Archaeological Team?"
Chen Fei: ???
That was so sudden!
If it were an era of peace, the Archaeological Team would indeed be a respected profession, but it wasn't suitable now.
"I'm sorry, Elder Kong, my ambitions lie elsewhere!"
Hearing this, Kong Simiao had no choice but to drop it.
However, he still reminded: "Everyone, step back a bit. It's better to be careful when we don't know what's inside the casket."
As the crowd retreated, the ore cutter ordered the Blade Ghost Mantis to open it.
The Blade Ghost Mantis almost went on strike:
You all hide far away and leave all the danger to me?
Could you be any more shameless!?
*Click~*
The casket was easily opened.
There was no overwhelming Spiritual Qi as imagined.
Nor did any danger descend.
Inside, a Jade Slip was lying very ordinarily.
The function of a Jade Slip was similar to a Top-Grade Spirit Stone.
But its structure was even more stable than a Top-Grade Spirit Stone. Besides carving a Formation Plate, it could also leave behind some Legacies or Martial Arts.
Seeing the complex patterns carved on this Jade Slip, there was surely something inside.
Chen Fei cautiously sent his consciousness into it.
With only a small strand of consciousness, he could cut it off at any time if he encountered danger.
However, there was no such danger. Chen Fei even found a Martial Arts Legacy within: "Spirit Taming Art".
The information transmitted was as follows:
Yao Beasts are born with incredibly powerful bodies, while the Human Race is extremely weak.
But while Heaven closed a door for the Human Race, it also opened a window.
Humans can undergo Awakening for special Spirit Taming talents—Lightning Taming, Wind Taming, Soul Taming... and they possess the most terrifying trait: the ability to constantly research and learn.
But there are always some who cannot awaken any talent, placing them at the bottom of the food chain.
A great being took pity on all living things and thus researched a special Martial Art.
Using the soul of a Yao Beast as a foundation and its blood as a catalyst, it breaks the shackles of the human body, allowing one to absorb the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth for their own use, just like a Yao Beast.
The stronger the Yao Beast's soul, the greater the potential.
Of course, the process of Fusion is also more dangerous.
After becoming able to absorb Spiritual Qi, even without other talents, one can better Cultivate Martial Arts to strengthen themselves.
And this "Spirit Taming Art" contained a relatively complete cultivation process.
The highest Realm could directly reach the King Level.
It could be said that this Martial Art was not just a simple technique; it was a very important primer for a Mortal to step into the world of practitioners.
For a Mortal, this was a divine art!
The more he looked, the more Chen Fei felt the extraordinary significance of this Martial Art, and a question arose simultaneously:
Why was such an important Martial Art not passed down? What exactly happened in ancient times?
In the eyes of the crowd.
At this moment, Chen Fei seemed somewhat dazed, and everyone was speculating about what incredible thing he had seen...
