Chapter 400: Chapter 229: Accumulated Great Virtue, the Supreme Treasure of Defense_4
This Magic Artifact, Lady Xuanhua has already created it.
On the table lies a bracelet with those two Shielding Talismans engraved on it.
“Is this it?”
Lady Xuanhua nodded, a hint of pride on her face: “This object was not difficult to make, but finding suitable spiritual materials was somewhat troublesome.”
“Where did these spiritual materials come from?”
Zheng Fa curiously asked.
“We tried spiritual materials purchased from both Xuanwei Realm and the workshop. This one produced the best effect,” Zhang explained. “Wearing this bracelet, within a radius of five meters, there’s virtually no interference from spiritual energy towards electromagnetic forces.”
“Virtually?”
“This bracelet is, after all, just a Magic Artifact, its effects are limited. Fairy Xiao tested it, Thunder Skills below the level of a Golden Core are basically ineffective, above that, it depends on the skill level in Thunder Skills.”
“What about the cost?”
“It’s inexpensive, but not very widely useful.”
Lady Xuanhua sighed: “This thing is only effective during your experiments, it cannot be used as a protection Magical Treasure.”
“Hmm?”
Zheng Fa looked at Lady Xuanhua, listening to her explanation:
“Take Yu Ying, for example, she triggers the thunder from afar, this thing can’t guard against it.”
Zheng Fa nodded, that’s indeed the case, it can resist the interference of spiritual energy on electromagnetic forces, but it has no effect on the electromagnetic forces themselves.
To be honest, if this thing was effective against electromagnetic forces… it wouldn’t be possible to create the instruments Zheng Fa wanted.
Take an electron microscope, for instance, theoretically it shoots electrons towards the material under examination, if this bracelet blocked them, that would be awkward.
“On the other hand, wearing this bracelet, the Magic Artifacts on your body that protect against thunder will also fail.”
Zheng Fa also understood Lady Xuanhua’s depression.
Those Magic Artifacts, too, were made based on the control of electromagnetic forces by spiritual energy.
It’s like antivirus software killing its own firewall…
“But if we modify this thing a bit, use it on those instruments you mentioned, it might still be somewhat useful.”
Zheng Fa nodded lightly, but looking at this bracelet, he thought of something else…
“Lady, can you make me something else?”
“What?”
“Like, a copper or iron, drawn into thin wires, woven into a cage-like thing.”
“…”
Lady Xuanhua looked at him for a long time, then suddenly said: “Not spiritual material?”
“No.”
“A mortal object?”
“Yes.”
“I’m a Nascent Soul Artifact Refining master, do you know how many Spirit Stones it costs for me to make one move? And you want me to refine this mortal trinket…” Lady Xuanhua asked through gritted teeth.
Zheng Fa was stunned, he had just thought of it.
He didn’t expect to wound Lady Xuanhua’s pride.
Thinking it over, he gathered a few disciples from the Golden Core Project who were skilled in Artifact Refining.
The thing Zheng Fa described was indeed not difficult, soon, a silvery ball made of metal wires appeared before everyone.
This ball stood on the ground, and even had a door that could be opened and closed.
Zheng Fa thought for a moment, put on the bracelet, and walked into the ball, then said to Xiao Yuying: “Fairy Xiao, try using Thunder Skill on me.”
Xiao Yuying blinked, her eyes full of confusion, but still, with a flick of her finger, a blue Heavenly Thunder fell straight onto Zheng Fa.
On the metal ball, a dazzling display of sparks appeared, extremely eye-catching.
Fairy Xiao was rather severe…
But everyone present was a Cultivator, naturally, their eyesight was extraordinary, they could see even more clearly—though the lightning flowed like water over those fine wires, inside the metal ball, there was not a bit of thunder!
Zheng Fa sat inside, his finger not even twitching!
Lady Xuanhua ran up to the outside of the cage, looking at Zheng Fa, and asked: “Did you use a Secret Technique?”
“No.”
“Hid a Magical Treasure?”
“…Lady, don’t you know how poor our Jiushan Sect is?”
“Then this is…”
Zheng Fa looked at the metal ball, chuckling inwardly: This Magical Treasure, is called a Faraday cage…
“Lady, would you say that this thing, together with that bracelet, could count as a defensive Magical Treasure?”
Lady Xuanhua was silent for a long time, then finally spoke: “Given its cost, to call it a Magical Treasure, that would be an insult to it…”
“It deserves to be called an Exquisite Treasure!”
