Brother Xie, he is too popular. What should I do?

Chapter 242 Choose 5 from 1

[Host, that crystal ball should be the legendary soul crystal. Safely using the soul crystal can increase the strength of the soul... However, this item is more needed by cultivators after the Nascent Soul stage. The host probably won't be able to use it at this stage.]

The system's words gently expressed a meaning: this soul crystal is not cost-effective, so it is best not to choose it.

Xie Yunhe heard the system say a strange word.

What is safe use? What does safe use mean? Are there unsafe uses?

Hearing this question, the system patiently explained:

[Host, soul crystals are extremely rare. Legend has it that they are natural treasures that only appear under extremely harsh circumstances. For those above the Spiritualization Stage, as long as they retain a trace of their soul, they have the opportunity to reshape their physical body. The soul can be preserved in certain special treasures, and soul crystals are one of them.]

For cultivators who need it, the power of soul crystals can not only be used to strengthen their own spirits, but also to nourish them. Therefore, soul crystals have become a favorite collection for many powerful people. This soul crystal is crystal clear and of extremely high quality. It is likely a top-grade soul crystal, useful for cultivators in the fusion stage and extremely valuable.

After briefly introducing the functions and values of some soul crystals, the system changed the subject.

However, the ability to host a soul also makes soul crystals dangerous. Aside from those with special talents or specialized skills, ordinary cultivators cannot tell from the surface whether a soul crystal is currently hosting a soul. If a soul crystal used is hosting the soul of a cultivator of high cultivation, then...

The system didn't finish speaking, but Xie Yunhe already understood what the system had not yet said.

[Then there is a possibility of encountering a monk who possesses another's body? ]

[Host, you are right. Using soul crystals is risky, but it is not impossible to encounter a cultivator's spirit willing to pass on their unique skills. In the world of immortal cultivation, there are also some cultivators who cannot form their own Dao monuments. If they have soul crystals, they will choose to leave a trace of their spirit in the soul crystal before death, leaving behind their own heritage. This can also be considered a form of inheritance.]

[If you have confirmed that the Soul Crystal does not have a spirit soul, then the Soul Crystal is a very good treasure for strengthening the spirit soul, so use it safely.]

Xie Yunhe understood what the system meant. If he wanted to choose the soul crystal, firstly, he didn't need it right now because he hadn't reached the stage of cultivating his spirit and soul. Secondly, this soul crystal was risky. Even if he wanted to use it, it would be better to bring the soul crystal to Venerable Youyue for a look.

[This one is not good, so don’t choose it. What’s the next one? ]

Xie Yunhe immediately shifted his gaze from the crystal clear and glowing crystal ball to something else.

[Host, that phoenix-shaped golden hairpin with a pearl in its mouth appeared at an auction in the plot. It is a treasure of the Phoenix Clan. Rumor has it that it was a token of love from a Phoenix Clan member...]

Xie Yunhe:?

What the hell, there are even tokens of love in this secret realm?

【What is the use of this gold hairpin? 】

Xie Yunhe's eyes fell on the exquisitely crafted and beautifully shaped golden hairpin with a phoenix holding a pearl.

[As long as the binding is successful, in critical moments, the golden hairpin can provide a shield to withstand ninety-nine attacks below the fusion stage, and also grants an opportunity to summon a Taoist companion.]

Xie Yunhe's eyes lit up when he heard "resist ninety-nine attacks below the fusion stage".

What kind of artifact is this?

Ninety-nine attacks below the fusion stage!

Xie Yunhe’s mind suddenly emerged a scene of himself holding up a shield and fighting in and out of the secret realm while being chased by a fusion-stage monster.

With this golden hairpin, wouldn't you be able to walk freely in the world of immortal cultivation?

Is the Phoenix clan so rich?

But when he heard the words "summoning a Taoist partner", a question mark appeared in Xie Yunhe's head.

How did this function suddenly jump to the Taoist couple?

[Host, so there are rumors that this is a token of love from the Phoenix Clan. Only those recognized by the Phoenix Clan can bind the golden hairpin. The binding ceremony is a Taoist Companion Ceremony. After the binding is successful, the Taoist Companion summoned is that Phoenix Clan member.]

Xie Yunhe: ...

This gold hairpin suddenly no longer smells good.

He always read novels quickly, and he didn't have much impression of the items in the auction house except for the items bought by the protagonist.

[Did this golden hairpin fail to be sold in the plot? ]

Xie Yunhe complained.

[No, host. It was successfully sold. Even without being bound, the hairpin still has the basic shield function, but the power has been reduced from ninety-nine to three. It is also a very good defensive tool in itself, and its unique shape makes it quite popular among noble ladies.]

Needless to say, if it can have the shield function ninety-nine times without binding, Xie Yunhe will not hesitate and will immediately choose this super artifact.

Unfortunately, this hairpin has too many restrictions, and according to legend, it is a token of love from the Phoenix clan...

Xie Yunhe's eyelids were twitching. He always felt that if he chose the gold hairpin, he would get himself into big trouble.

Well... I'd better trust my intuition.

His gaze moved from the golden hairpin with a phoenix holding a pearl to the other two things that were not introduced in the system.

What about the other two?

[Host, I can only tell that this formation disk is a high-level one, but I can't tell what type it is... As for that bone, it should be the bone of a giant monster, but I don't know what it is specifically.]

The system answered honestly.

As the name suggests, a formation plate is a plate engraved with formation patterns. It does look like a plate, but it is more like a compass.

In the world of immortal cultivation, there are things called formations, and there are also cultivators who specialize in practicing formations.

The formation is similar to alchemy and is one of the skills in the world of immortal cultivation.

When Xie Yunhe was practicing before, there were also formations engraved in the practice room.

In addition to having the formation master perform the formation on the spot, there is a more convenient method, which is to use the formation plate.

Making array plates is the specialty of array masters, who can fix the array on the array plates.

The advantage of this is that during battle or other times, the formation master does not need to rearrange the formation. He only needs to hold the formation plate in his hand and activate it with spiritual power.

Of course, it is also possible to activate it with spirit stones.

Therefore, the formation plate can be used not only by formation masters, but also by ordinary cultivators.

In addition to alchemists, weapon refiners, and talisman masters, formation masters are also a lucrative profession in the world of immortal cultivation.

Xie Yunhe's eyes moved back and forth among these five items.

Xie Yunhe first ruled out the bones of an unknown monster. Although it was obvious that the bones were not ordinary things, when Xie Yunhe got closer to the stone platform, he could feel a faint pressure coming from it. It must have been left by a very powerful monster.

But he had no idea how to use the bone, so he ruled it out.

Soul crystals that are risky and temporarily unusable are also excluded.

Phoenix holding a golden hairpin with pearls... Let's skip this one for reasons I won't elaborate on.

The remaining two are an unknown Dao monument and an unknown high-level formation plate.

Xie Yunhe's eyes moved back and forth between the two things.

He accidentally saw the golden words appearing above the stone platform.

It’s the line that says “You can only choose one”.

An idea suddenly popped into his mind.

Xie Yunhe looked at the stone platform and said tentatively:

"Senior, what are these treasures? I don't quite understand. Do you have any explanation?"

The golden words on the stone platform flashed and then disappeared.

The golden gas that formed the golden character broke up, rearranged itself, and formed a new character.

Xie Yunhe and the system looked at the treasures on the stone platform in silence.

At this time, small golden words appeared above each treasure. The small words not only indicated the name of the item, but also stated the purpose of the item.

Xie Yunhe's silence was deafening.

The system is also silent.

Who would have known that this stone platform was alive and could actually understand human speech?

He seems to have a good temper.

If they had known this earlier, they would have known what these treasures were used for, and there would have been no need for them to guess in their heads.

Xie Yunhe thought silently, when he was standing in front of the stone platform and communicating with the system just now, he must have looked stupid in the eyes of the stone platform.

However, since the stone platform gave the labels, Xie Yunhe took another look at what those treasures were.

The description of one of the objects was particularly special and immediately caught Xie Yunhe's attention.

"Hey, what is this?"

He spoke in surprise.
