Chapter 278: The Faceless Xuantian Temple
However, his spiritual power struck the statue like water against a dam—completely blocked, unable to penetrate in the slightest.
It was as though the statue were insulated against both spiritual qi and divine sense. None of Li Fan’s usual methods could effectively probe it.
Interesting. I wonder what type of stone this is.
Li Fan summoned a blade of water, slashing at the statue with incredible speed. Even refined steel would be sliced in two by such a blade, yet the moment the water blade made contact, the spiritual qi maintaining its power scattered and dissipated.
Aside from giving the statue a thorough rinse, it caused no damage whatsoever. The broken statue remained utterly unscathed.
What a treasure!
Li Fan’s thoughts drifted through the many possible uses of this unknown stone, though it was followed with a hint of regret.
A pity there's so little of it, and I can't take it back to reality. Otherwise, it could be used to construct a fully secure chamber.
A sudden thought struck him. He found a regular stone on the ground and used it as a tool to chip off a fragment from the statue. He then drove this sharp fragment hard into his own arm.
Blood flowed immediately.
Li Fan frowned slightly. When he directed spiritual qi to the wound caused by the fragment, it had to detour around the area, drastically reducing recovery efficiency.
Essentially, the injury could not be healed by spiritual qi unless the fragment lodged in his flesh was removed.
