BXBX NOVEL Chapter 490 - A Difficult Unboxing
\'No, I cannot fail at this moment.\' Wang Xiong thought.
If he failed at this moment, he would not only be wasting all of his time and effort, but the box would also be destroyed along with its contents. Which was not something that he wanted to happen.
Just as he was about to force himself more, he felt a pair of hands at his back. The hands were gentle and soft and gave him a warm feeling.
."Just focus on the box, I\'ll give you the spirit Qi needed!" Ye Jin urged.
Wang Xiong nodded his head and focused on the box as spirit Qi poured in from his back. The spirit Qi of Ye Jin was different from his own, and this needed to be converted in his meridians before he could use it.
Still, with the Taiji celestial\'s technique, his absorption rate was rather high. This added with the difference in the spirit Qi capacity of Ye Jin and Wang Xiong made it so that Ye Jin was drained within minutes.
Her body was covered in sweat as well, and she was pale now. But this was just the boost Wang Xiong needed and he managed to push through at the last moment.
~kacha~
Like a dam breaking after just one extra drop of water was added, the formations broke apart from the inside.
~shua~shua~shua~
The formations started to dissipate at a fast speed and let out various sounds. Wang Xiong had never seen formations or spirit Qi at that point behaving like this before and thus it was a new learning moment for him.
He also realized that the spirit Qi that was being released by the runes of the formation was different from the normal spirit Qi.
"Hmm? Fire and wood elemental Qi?" Wang Xiong recognized.
These two spirit qi\'s were masked by the normal spirit Qi and would not appear normally. If the formation were broken normally or unraveled, the spirit Qi being released would be in the form of normal attribute less spirit Qi. But here there was a mix of three types; fire, wood, and attributeless.
While the quantity of attributeless spirit Qi was higher than the other two elements, their presence here was already something unusual.
\'Why is spirit Qi of different elements being released like this? This is strange…\' Wang Xiong thought.
As the condition of the box was a bit sensitive in this transformative moment, Wang Xiong could not touch or interact anymore with the box, for the fear that something might disturb its natural dissipation and end up damaging the contents.
"Is it done?" Ye Jin questioned while wiping away the sweat from her brows.
Her upper robes stuck to her torso, accentuating her curves. Wang Xiong\'s eyes wandered for a second before he forcefully reined himself and looked away.
"It should be over soon, we just have to wait." Wang Xiong replied.
"Alright," Ye Jing replied, not paying attention to her condition.
Like a leaking pot of water, the spirit Qi drained out of the runes of the formation until there were no more left. Soon the plain looking box was nothing more but just a plain looking box. Wang Xiong ensured that everything was fine one last time before finally touching the box.
~click~
A clear clicking sound could be heard as the box opened under gentle force. Once the box was opened, Wang Xiong and Ye Jin\'s eyes were met with what looked like a folded up piece of paper and a finger sized piece of jade.
Both of the times looked unassuming and there was no spirit Qi fluctuations coming from either of them. This made Wang Xiong even more alert as he knew nothing simple would be placed under such security.
"Should we take a look?" Ye Jin inquired.
"Of course…" Wang Xiong said before taking out the folded paper.
He unfolded it and saw a few lines written on it. They were written in a rather elegant manner and their strokes were well defined. Whoever wrote it was certainly well versed in the art of calligraphy and used a good brush.
\'Bury each of the seven agitation jades in the mines at a sufficient distance. Keep a gap of one to two days between the planting of each agitation jade to ensure full effect. Once all seven agitating jades are planted, the beast should be enough to drive out the people.
Escape within few minutes of planting the final agitation jade or experience death.
Ensure no one can find this box and its contents though they will still be destroyed if anyone other than you opens them. Make sure our new allies are getting what they are paying for.
—Weiyuan.\'
Seeing the contents of the small note and the name at the end, Wang Xiong furrowed his brows. Neither of these things made sense to him and the name at the end was unknown to Wang Xiong.
"Who is Weiyuan? Do we have someone with that name in our sect?" Wang Xiong questioned.
"As far as I know, there aren\'t any elders with that name, but there are a couple of disciples with that name." Ye Jing answered.
"Hmm… later on investigate and get me reports on those disciples." Wang Xiong spoke.
"As you wish. Though it seems unlikely that they would be someone linked to this." Ye Jing spoke.
"Still… we need to cover all bases." Wang Xiong replied before picking up the finger sized jade.
"Besides… this might just be the thing we need for the confirmation." He added.
