Chapter 2196 Yang Marker Array And Utilizing The Environment
Lin Mu"s immortal sense detected several impurities within the two hills. They stood out against the normal rock of the hills and the mountain and even held a certain energy to them.
"Yin Charged Magnet.i.te… There"s quite a lot of it." Lin Mu said after fully scanning the two hills.
"But in the size it is, the uses for refinement would be quite limited. Plus refining it is a pain too." Daoist Chu said. "But we don"t need to refine it." Lin Mu smiled. "They are all finger sized at the biggest and the size of dust at the smallest. Their piercing power will be decent." He added.
"Which method do you intend to use?" Daoist Chu asked.
"The simple one… We turn them into projectiles." Lin Mu answered. "You"re not gonna do the refinement?" Daoist Chu asked. "How will they be targeting then?" "Well we don"t need to refine them to make them targeted. It is Yin Charged Magnet.i.te… Instead of refining it to add targeting, we can simply put markers on the things they need to target." Lin Mu answered making Daoist Chu a bit confused. "We simply set up an illusory array layered on top of a marking array. The marks will infuse a strong Yang Charge into those that step in." He explained.
"This… The Yin Charged Magnet.i.te will rush towards the foes on its own by being attracted to the Yang Charge!" Daoist Chu finally understood. "This is brilliant!" he exclaimed.
"It"ll take much less effort to do as well. The only thing we"ll need to is to modulate the hills themselves with a Rock Shifting Array." Lin Mu answered. "We don"t want all the fragments to be charging at a single foe after all." He added.
"True." Daoist Chu nodded. "I guess I can use my Nine Yang Purge Talismans here for that." He stated.
"Oh we don"t need anything like that." Lin Mu shook his head. "I have a more… "Potent" option instead." He said making Daoist Chu curious.
"What is it?" he wondered.
"Xiao Yang," Lin Mu called the snake out.
~HISS~HISS~
A white snake materialized around Lin Mu. It was wrapped around his arm and looked at the area curiously. "Lots of food." Xiao Yang said smelling the various scents.
"Indeed." Lin Mu nodded. "I need some of your Yang Qi." He requested.
"Okay~" Xiao Yang nodded without a problem. "Xiao Yin… Call her too." He asked.
"Alright." Lin Mu didn"t deny that request.
~SHUA~
In the next moment, another snake materialized around Lin Mu"s left shoulder. It had black scales with a single white spot on its forehead.
~HISS~HISS~ Xiao Yin"s eyes gleamed as she smelled the negative energies in the air. Her tail whipped around in excitement as she knew that a feast was in waiting.
"Eat, refine, give." Xiao Yang spoke to his sister.
"Let"s go." She was very eager and the twins soon flew out.
~WHOOSH~
They turned into ribbons of black and white and soon disappeared.
"What… was that?" Daoist Chu was surprised. "You"ve seen one of them." Lin Mu replied. "Xiao Yang is the one that got us through the Teleportation Channel at the end." "That was the white snake?" Daoist Chu had not seen it clearly and had thought that Lin Mu was using some tool.
"Indeed." Lin Mu nodded.
"And they"re going to provide us Yang Qi?" he asked.
"Indeed. Pure yang Qi would be much better than using Talismans, wouldn"t you think?" Lin Mu replied.
"Of course, the efficiency and potency will both be higher." Daoist Chu replied. "But those snakes… They"re almost as strong as us." He could tell instinctively.
The Immortal Qi fluctuations coming from the twins were at the Fourth Tribulation Stage of the Immortal realm, and their own unique aura was enough to intendant Daoist Chu.
Lin Mu didn"t responds with words to this, instead just giving a simple smile. "Though is it fine to let them go alone?" he asked. "There is still a lot of chimeric beasts and more out there." "It"ll be fine. This may as well be a playground to them." Lin Mu replied. "We"ll have a steady supply of energy with them. We"ll be able to turn this place against itself." He added.
The Saintess had already told him that the Twins would be very helpful to him, and now that they were in an area that was perfect for them, Lin Mu reckoned it was fine to let them eat while also helping out.
This way not only would they grow stronger, but also finish Lin Mu"s goals.
"Let"s get started on the Yang Marker Array then, shall we?" Lin Mu said.
"I can do that. I"m almost done with the barriers anyways. You can continue to focus on the core of the array, Daoist Mu Lin." Daoist Chu suggested instead.
"Alright." Lin Mu nodded and the two split up to work.
Lin Mu took hold of the Rune Shaping Brush and sped up the work, while Daoist Chu finished the barrier and got to working on the Yang Marker Array.
The Yang Marker Array was originally made to be used in Refinement of materials. It would add a Yang Marker on materials, which was basically infusing a small amount of Yang Qi in it that would stay contained.
Then when the right condition was reached, this Yang Qi would be released.
Something like this was needed for sensitive materials that had a very specific translation points in refinement. If it was done too early, the material would burn away and if it was done too late the material would get corrupted.
Thus the infusion of Yang had to be at the right moment which was perfect when it was already present inside the material.
Thus the Yang Marker Array provided a safe way of doing that without damaging them.
But now the application of the entire Yang Marker Array had been changed into an offensive one.
Daoist Chu worked diligently and soon set up the base structure of the array.
