Chapter 674: 539 Meng Guan's Invitation_1
It made the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman appear even more flamboyant.
Seeing this, He Song scrutinized it carefully.
Thoughts flickered through his mind in quick succession.
“This, is this a Talismanic Treasure?”
“A Golden Core Talisman Treasure, the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman.”
“Once activated, it will summon the White Rainbow Sword Qi to coalesce and aid me in slaying my enemies.”
“However, this thing is indeed too showy.”
“It really needs to be made to look more ordinary.”
He Song often heard that Treasures conceal themselves and that the truly powerful artifacts are usually unremarkable in appearance.
But now it seemed,
this saying was perhaps somewhat inaccurate.
After the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman was crafted, it did not, unlike those legendary Treasures, turn unremarkable; instead, it was incredibly flamboyant.
In its current state, whether placed within the mortal world or the Cultivation World, the talisman would be immediately noticed by anyone.
It was too noticeable, and once it appeared, it would almost certainly attract everyone’s attention.
Upon thinking further, He Song started to doubt whether the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman could be considered a Treasure at all, or worthy of being called one.
Although he had heard of the saying that Treasures conceal their nature,
he had no concept of the kind of Treasures mentioned in that saying.
Perhaps, the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman was not on a high enough level.
That’s why, after being crafted, it was so flamboyant.
After all, the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman was merely crafted by a Golden Elixir Master using a Cultivator’s Golden Core alongside some precious materials from the outside world.
Such Treasures that can be crafted by a Gold Core Cultivator probably aren’t especially high in level.
At least, in the eyes of an Ancestor Yuanying, such Treasures would not be of great value.
With this thought flashing through his mind, He Song gradually became reconciled.
He casually stored the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman into his storage bag and quickly began to ponder over his previous plan.
Jade.
He had plenty on him.
All were leftovers from when he previously created jade vials to hold spirit elixirs and jade boxes to store spirit medicine.
This high-quality jade, while not containing any spirit Qi within, could be used to store various items and ensure that no spirit Qi would be lost.
In the Cultivation World, such high-quality jade is quite common.
Moreover, if He Song wanted to wrap the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman with jade and carve the Smoke Array on its surface as he had previously thought, there would be plenty of jade to experiment with.
For He Song, who had a profound understanding of Array Skills and had already mastered several Golden Elixir Arrays, engraving array patterns in minute detail and attempting to lay out a miniature array was not a difficult task.
Therefore, as He Song began to think about how he could realize his previous idea,
with the passage of time,
two pieces of jade, each broken open with a circular groove inside, soon appeared in his hands.
This was a spherical jade ball fashioned according to his design.
The interior of the ball was hollow, intended to house the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman.
The outer shell of jade was then meticulously etched by He Song with array patterns, housing a miniature version of the Smoke Array.
He took out the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman from the storage bag.
And placed it inside the hollow of the jade ball.
As the two halves of the jade ball gradually came together and He Song secured them firmly so that they wouldn’t easily break,
the once conspicuous White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman now looked just like an ordinary jade ball.
At the same time, He Song did not forget to activate the miniature Smoke Array on the shell of the jade ball.
With the activation of the Smoke Array, even He Song, who could previously sense the presence of the talisman, now completely lost his perception of the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman.
Although he still clearly knew that a Talismanic Treasure was hidden within this jade ball in his hand,
at this moment, with the absence of any detectable presence of the talisman,
if it wasn’t crafted by He Song himself, he might even doubt if the ordinary jade ball was just that—merely an ordinary jade ball.
If someone else were here, they would likely never imagine that a Talismanic Treasure was concealed within this unremarkable jade ball.
After a careful sensing,
and confirming that the method he thought of could completely isolate the appearance and presence of the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman, ensuring that others could not detect anything amiss in advance,
a hint of joy traversed He Song’s heart.
If the existence of the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman could not be sensed by others,
and only he knew that such an ordinary jade ball contained a hidden Talismanic Treasure,
He Song’s scope for action would naturally become much broader.
He could discreetly trigger the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman, catching the enemy off guard with a lethal strike.
He could also secretly channel mana into the White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talisman while conversing with someone; if he detected something amiss, the talisman could be activated instantly.
He could even trigger several White Rainbow Mountain Opening Talismans concurrently during a duel, dealing the opponent a heavy blow with the powerful offensive capability in an instant.
In the Cultivation World, there are innumerable methods of stealth attack.
Now, He Song truly mastered one of them.
