Clan Rise: Starting as a Grandfather

Chapter 1169: Chapter 782: Magic Artifacts and Magical Treasures (2)

But he never expected that this copper mirror would turn out to be such a magical artifact.

As long as you input a little mana, it will launch an attack, and the speed of the attack is so fast that even after he noticed the change, he couldn’t dodge the attack from the copper mirror.

This was mainly because he lacked understanding of magical artifacts, and he was completely clueless about the copper mirror he held.

After explaining some situations to Yu Qingyi and Qingxia, Yang Zhenshan picked up the copper mirror again to study.

This time, he was even more cautious.

Not only did he take out his spirit armor and put it on, but he also went to the desolate mountains and wrapped himself tightly with vines.

After repeatedly confirming that his defense should be strong enough, he then cautiously input a stream of spiritual sense and mana into the copper mirror.

This time he did not face the mirror towards himself, but aimed it at the rocks.

As soon as his spiritual sense and mana entered the copper mirror, the mirror immediately emitted a dazzling ray of dawn light.

Yes, it’s dawn light!

An arm-thick ray of dawn light shot out and instantly pierced through the rocks.

Yang Zhenshan experimented several times, and each time a ray of dawn light would burst out.

"It’s a very simple usage. Input spiritual sense and mana, and it will emit dawn light!"

"The power of this dawn light is roughly equivalent to a powerful blow from a Heavenly Gang Stage martial artist. It’s not strong, but if caught off guard, it can completely kill a Heavenly Gang Stage martial artist instantly!"

"Hmm, it’s quite similar to the Blood Evil Demon Pupil, except the Blood Evil Demon Pupil releases blood evil qi, while this copper mirror releases dawn light!"

"The usage is straightforward and crude, the power isn’t formidable, it’s at most a top-grade magical artifact!"

After experimenting, Yang Zhenshan reached these conclusions.

Not quite a surprise, but it didn’t disappoint Yang Zhenshan either.

Although simple, this copper mirror is just suitable for his current use.

His understanding of magical artifacts is still quite crude; if he were given a more complex artifact, he might not be able to use it proficiently, whereas this simple artifact is most suitable for him.

After some thought, Yang Zhenshan gave the copper mirror to Red Cloud, asking Red Cloud to mount the copper mirror onto his snake-skin soft armor as a Heart Protector.

This copper mirror is most effective when used unexpectedly. If during close combat, his chest suddenly emits dawn light, most Heavenly Gang Stage martial artists likely couldn’t defend against it.

After understanding the usage of the copper mirror, Yang Zhenshan began studying the mysterious black shield.

This shield is more mysterious than the copper mirror. When he input spiritual sense and mana, the palm-sized shield immediately transformed into a seven-foot-long shield, which he could use to block his surroundings at will under the control of his spiritual sense.

Spiritual Spring Mountain Plateau, rear mountain.

Yang Zhenshan floated in mid-air, with a virtual grasp, the mysterious black shield floated in front of him, covering most of his body.

The texture of the shield is ancient and mysterious, like meandering spiritual snakes roaming, resembling mountain veins running across. The edges are bordered with refined copper, with ancient rune engravings on it. Under the stimulation of mana, the surface of the shield reveals layers of deep blue luster, emanating a hint of chill.

"Are you ready?"

Opposite him, Yu Qingyi looked at the shield with curiosity and asked.

Yang Zhenshan nodded slightly, "Ready, you can attack!"

He wanted to test the defense of this shield and also let Yu Qingyi help him practice.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingyi didn’t hesitate, she swung her long sword, immediately a crisp sword qi shot out.

With a bang, the sword qi landed on the shield, and Yang Zhenshan felt nothing.

He observed the changes in the shield with spiritual sense, confirmed there were no issues with the shield, and said, "The power is too small! Don’t hold back, attack with full force!"

Yu Qingyi nodded slightly, her expression became solemn.

The next moment, she unleashed a more dazzling sword qi, yet the shield still easily absorbed it.

Seeing this, Yu Qingyi let loose completely, she kept swinging her long sword, the azure sword qi bombarded the shield like a storm.

"Don’t just stand still and attack, make it like a real battle!" Yang Zhenshan said again.

Yu Qingyi moved, her figure floated like a hovering swan, constantly moving in the air, fierce sword qi rising to the sky, sometimes turning into thousands of meteors, sometimes condensing into a form as large as a sail.

Her speed was getting faster, her attack angles increasingly unpredictable.

Yang Zhenshan controlled the shield to block left and right, at first, he was able to handle it with ease, but as Yu Qingyi’s attacks grew more intense, he began to move around.

However, he did not dodge but used his movement to adjust the shield’s position.

Controlling the shield for defense involved many techniques, and Yang Zhenshan was still unfamiliar with this defensive style, so he could only rely on his intuition.

The shield has no inside or outside, whether it’s the front or back, it has strong defensive capabilities.

Yang Zhenshan was not holding it with his hands but controlling it through spiritual sense and mana.

This involves the technique of object control.

Object control is the most basic ability of immortal cultivators and a very important ability.

Because this relates to the ability of immortal cultivators to control magical artifacts.

Yang Zhenshan is still immature in this aspect, but it doesn’t matter; he can practice slowly.

Any skill requires practice; as the saying goes, practice makes perfect.

Whether it’s martial arts or the immortal path, various combat techniques require countless practices to become instinctive.

Yu Qingyi is an excellent sparring partner.

Currently, Yu Qingyi’s strength isn’t weak, though she still has some way to go before reaching the peak of the Heavenly Gang Stage, her strength has already surpassed most Heavenly Gang Stage martial artists; it should be similar to Lan Peng from before.

But even under Yu Qingyi’s full exertion, she was unable to break through the shield’s defense.

"I can’t do it anymore, I can’t do it anymore, the consumption is too great!" Yu Qingyi withdrew her long sword, and fine droplets of sweat appeared on her pristine forehead.

Yang Zhenshan chuckled, waved his hand, and the shield shrank down to palm-sized and fell into his hand.

Size at will!

This is the ability of an array, but it’s not truly size at will because its sizes are fixed.

Either palm-sized or seven feet large.

This should be a rudimentary usage of the Ruyi Formation.

"Then rest for a while, we’ll do it again later!" Yang Zhenshan floated over and helped Yu Qingyi wipe the sweat off her forehead.

"Hmm, what level of magical artifact is this?"

"It should be a top-grade magical artifact!" Yang Zhenshan weighed the shield in his hand.

Yu Qingyi looked at the small shield, a hint of envy in her eyes, "The means of immortal cultivators are truly wondrous!"

Martial Artists cannot drive such magical artifacts because Martial Artists lack spiritual sense, strictly speaking, Innate Martial Artists lack spiritual sense, so they cannot control magical artifacts.

"Once you enter the Martial God Realm, perhaps you can control magical artifacts too!" Yang Zhenshan consoled.

"I hope so!" Yu Qingyi was just envying without feeling too down.

She was already quite satisfied with her current situation, although not comparable to immortal cultivators, she already had the cultivation technique to reach the Martial God Realm, and Yang Zhenshan had prepared spiritual objects for her.

As long as she cultivates step by step, she has a great chance to enter the Martial God Realm.

Compared to her cultivation path, she was actually more worried about Yang Zhenshan.

The specifics of the immortal cultivation path and how it truly is, both she and Yang Zhenshan know very little, Yang Zhenshan is entirely exploring and cultivating on his own, many things need to be verified by himself.

Even though he already has several cultivation techniques and three magical artifacts, he is still just a beginner stepping into the immortal path.

The two rested for a while and then practiced again.

For several consecutive days, they spent their time in sparring, until Yang Zhenshan felt he could proficiently control the black-faced shield, then they stopped sparring.

Yang Zhenshan named the copper mirror the Dawn Treasure Mirror, and the shield the Black-faced Shield.

One attack, one defense; these two magical artifacts made Yang Zhenshan very satisfied.

Lastly, there was the jade small sword.

In the crisp mountain forest, Yang Zhenshan fully armed, cautiously input spiritual sense and mana into the jade small sword.

The next moment, the jade small sword made a buzzing sound and abruptly flew out.

Whoosh!

The small jade sword flew at lightning speed into the rocky area, and depth couldn’t be seen.
