Chapter 595: Isolated Island (8)
Chapter 595: Isolated Island (8)
"I see... so that's how they discovered the 'door'!"
Pei Yun quickly realized what she meant, and the other two understood instantly as well. There was a "door" here, just like the doors to the alchemy room and the array room they had met before.
"Come back tonight."
After touring the prison, the three returned to their respective quarters.
After midnight, as Pei Yun had already notified them by phone, apart from Zhou Feng, who was breaking the formation with four other formation masters, the other four arrived at the crematorium on the first basement floor of the prison.
At this moment, a "door" appeared in front of the crematorium, emitting a faint light. However, as Pei Yun and his companions stepped inside, the "door" immediately burst forth with a dazzling and overwhelming light...
Because this "door" was on the first basement level, Pei Yun and his group of four had already been inside for quite some time by the time other teams discovered and entered.
“It’s the weapon-refining room!” Fu Lingchen was very familiar with the layout of the room and the various weapon-refining materials. There was also a huge furnace in the center.
"What kind of magical artifacts can be made from these materials?" Pei Yun asked.
"That depends on your needs. However, these materials are all low-grade, only enough to forge a few Yellow-grade magic weapons. Moreover, my strength is only at half its current level, so it will take me longer to forge magic weapons than it would outside..."
As the group was talking, other teams arrived one after another.
"...This is the weapon-refining room!"
"With magical artifacts, dealing with mortals in this world will be a piece of cake!"
"...During the day, we lack spiritual power and divine sense, so how can we use magical artifacts? As for the night, we can subdue them even without magical artifacts..."
"Why don't we forge a few magical artifacts first, and while we still have spiritual power, kill everyone in this world? That way we can leave the island! Then no one will stop us!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present turned their attention to the speaker.
The person who had spoken felt guilty under the sharp gazes of everyone present. He lowered his head and muttered under his breath, "...This is just a trial mission. The people here aren't real people. At best, it's just an illusion..."
Seeing that the other teams were all staring at Wu Yi with hostility—he was a member of their group—Cai Dongcheng had no choice but to speak up and reprimand him: "Shut up! Stop talking nonsense! How can we cultivators kill like this!"
“Since Fellow Daoist Pei and her teammates discovered this weapon-refining room first, why don’t you offer a good suggestion, Fellow Daoist Pei…” Wen Ping looked at Pei Yun.
“I think we should just divide the refining materials equally, like we did in the alchemy room before…” Park Bu-fan suggested.
Pei Yun stepped forward and shook his head, saying, "Weapon crafting is different from alchemy. Weapon crafting takes much longer than alchemy. Dividing the materials equally is not a problem, but who will use the furnace first, and which team will craft the weapon first? What if this trial mission has a time limit? What if we haven't finished crafting our magic weapon by then?"
After Pei Yun said that, everyone realized what she meant and agreed with her statement.
"Then, Fellow Daoist Pei, what do you think we should do with this weapon-refining room?" Cai Dongcheng's eyes flashed with interest as he looked at Pei Yun.
“Just like with the formation room, we need to cooperate,” Pei Yun said. “Everyone, when we came in, the mission gave us the hint to leave the isolated island, so isn’t our most important goal to leave the isolated island?”
"Of course!"
"Fellow Daoist Pei is right..."
"The island is surrounded by the sea, so naturally we'll need tools to leave. And now we have those tools! The weapon refiners from each team can work together to forge a magical artifact that can sail on the sea, or a flying artifact, and then we can all ride on it to leave the island..."
Pei Yun's words instantly sparked everyone's interest, their eyes lit up, and smiles appeared on their faces. Even Cai Dongcheng couldn't help but glance at Pei Yun in surprise.
“Fellow Daoist Pei’s words make sense. I think we should work together to refine a flying magic artifact. Once the great formation is broken, we can ride the artifact and leave directly…” Wen Ping and Pu Bufan nodded in agreement with Pei Yun’s suggestion.
Fu Lingchen stepped forward and said, "I have just looked at it. It will be very difficult to refine flying magic artifacts with the materials here. None of these materials contain spatial power. Do any of the weapon refiners in your teams have expertise in spatial techniques?"
Upon hearing this, the weapon refiners from the other teams also stepped forward, shaking their heads as they spoke: "I am not good at spatial magic, and flying magic weapons are very difficult to refine even outside, and it takes a lot of time."
"I think it would be simpler to forge a ship-shaped magical artifact that can sail on water. It wouldn't require protective shields or anything like that, and it would save the trouble of imprinting arrays on the hull..."
"As for the propulsion of this ship, it will be controlled by spiritual power..." Several weapon refiners discussed on the spot.
Since there was nothing else to do, Pei Yun left the weapon-refining room with He Changxuan and Minglu. She originally wanted to go to Zhou Feng's villa to discuss the next steps, but when she returned to the first floor, she didn't expect Minglu to suddenly stop.
"What's wrong?" Pei Yun asked.
“Fellow Daoist Pei, the prison doors are all sealed with talismans, no wonder these people can’t get out…”
Minglu frowned and said, "I didn't notice it during the day because I didn't have any spiritual power. I just discovered that the doors to these prison cells are all sealed..."
"Can you break the seal of the talisman?" He Changxuan asked.
“I can try to break the talisman with a talisman, but I haven’t found the talisman-making room yet, and I don’t have the tools to make talismans right now. Of course, I can forcefully break the talisman, but with so many cells, I’m afraid my spiritual energy will be exhausted before I can completely break the talisman…”
"Let's wait until we find the talisman-making room. Look, the alchemy array and artifact talisman have already shown three 'doors,' only the last one is left. It should be soon..."
After Pei Yun and the other two left the prison, they arrived at Zhou Feng's villa. He Changxuan began to recount his findings: "...I went into the archives again today. The guess that Senior Sister Pei made on the phone during the day was indeed correct. Some of the patients in the ward building are seriously ill; they are all test subjects for new drugs. There are also some people who were sent here from the telecom fraud park. This hospital is secretly colluding with the black market and is also involved in organ trafficking..."
“These people are truly despicable; they must be punished…” Minglu looked at Pei Yun.
"It's not time to deal with them yet..."
Pei Yun said, "I already have a plan in mind. Now, let's find the talisman-making room first, so that Minglu can refine talismans to unlock the prison gate. As for Junior Brother He, tomorrow it will be our turn in the alchemy room. You go to the alchemy room to refine pills..."
"No problem," the two agreed.
Another day passed, and Wenping's team discovered the last "door" in the dormitory area to the east. There was no surprise that anyone was inside; it was the talisman-making room.
The four members of Pei Yun's team were all busy with their tasks: some were refining pills, some were making talismans, some were forging weapons, and some were breaking formations. Pei Yun no longer asked them to regroup and instead went out on her own to investigate.
Four days later, Zhou Feng and the other five array masters finally found a weak point in the Nine Absolute Thunder Array. Although they could not completely break the array, a crack appeared after the point was attacked, and they could leave the array through the crack.
Following that, Fu Lingchen and his four weapon refiners also forged a small boat. This small boat was only a low-grade Yellow-level magic weapon, but there was no other way, time was too tight, and this was already the limit.
Fu Lingchen was puzzled when he saw Pei Yun agree without hesitation to let Cai Dongcheng's team keep the magic artifact. Not only him, but the other three were also very confused.
However, they had been told when they came in that they would follow the captain's instructions, so they didn't object on the spot.
When the five were alone, Fu Lingchen couldn't help but say, "Cai Dongcheng is a cunning old fox, very scheming. He will never let us all leave by boat as agreed. After all, everyone has completed their mission, how will they show off..."
"What if their team just quietly leaves by boat?"
"I think we should send someone to guard the crack in the formation. Once they leave, we'll know..."
Fu Lingchen and the other three began to discuss the matter with concern, but Pei Yun remained calm and chuckled, "If they really abandon our team and leave the island by boat, then I'll be happy!"
"What do you mean?" The four of them did not understand Pei Yun's words.
"Just wait, the show is about to begin!"
