The engineering team under Qin Weiping had worked on several projects and were experienced. They didn\'t damage the artifact when they discovered it and didn\'t even dare to touch it. They only extracted the item while preserving it completely.
"This is a Soul Shrine!"
A middle-aged Shaman conferred. This object was alien to ordinary humans, but it was familiar to Shamans.
He gazed at the glyphs on top of it and murmured, "Pardon… Land… Thunder… Single… asdfg hjljkh Daoist seal!"
Some of the glyphs were already illegible.
Jiang Xiu was also curious and moved closer. He wore street clothes and had an appearance of a youth. It was no wonder he stood out among the group of white-haired Shamans possessing an ethereal aura.
One of them furrowed his brows, "Has Old Tang Four gone mad? He brought such a brat who still smells of his mother\'s milk here to identify artifacts."
His voice was clear enough for the nearby Jiang Xiu as well as the faraway Tang Zhenshan to hear.
Tang Zhenshan felt quite embarrassed.
"Stop saying rubbish!"
An old man who sat there like a celestial immortal berated. His eyes were closed, and even when Jiang Xiu had entered inside, they hadn\'t opened. "Old Father Tang, don\'t mind my disciple\'s blabberings."
That person seemed to have a high status, Tang Zhenshan replied with utmost care, "You\'re too polite, Master Wu Long."
Tang Wenchong gave an explanation to Jiang Xiu in a quiet voice, "This is Master Wu Long, a famed shaman of Jiangnan. Even the big shots of the province treat him with extreme respect."
After the Shamans surrounding the soul shrine had studied it, they all revealed a troubled expression, helplessly saying, "Our magic force is meager, we can only make out that something is wrong with this Soul Shrine but can\'t figure out the exact reason. Grandmaster Wu Long, please enlighten us."
"Anyways, it\'s a full moon tonight, so the Yin energy is at its peak, moonlight mustn\'t fall on this Soul Shrine. Use a red cloth to cover it."
The serving staff did as they were commanded and covered the soul shrine with a red cloth.
"Your Dao skills are still weak. It\'s already remarkable that you\'ve discovered something is wrong with this Soul Shrine and knew to use a red cloth to screen off the Yin." The way Grandmaster Wu Long spoke almost frightened them, some of their complexions turned ugly, making them lower their heads in shame.
Only two Shamans at the corner remained calm and collected.
Tang Wenchong gave their information to Jiang Xiu, "The white-haired person with young looks, wearing straw sandals and holding a calabash is Shaman Nan Kui!"
"Also known as Guangdong province\'s No. 1 Grand Shaman."
Tang Wenchong then pointed towards a middle-aged man with domineering looks wearing black robes, who also seemed relaxed and experienced, "That\'s Mao Fang from Lingnan. He has a pretty unique nickname called as Little Master Teacher!"
"These three are known as the Three Southern Friends."
Shaman Wu Long came in front of the soul shrine.
"Mhm!"
He stamped all of a sudden, making a seal with his index fingers, causing the two of them to turn redder. Soon after, he pointed towards the soul shrine which caused it to buzz under the red cloth, faintly seeming as if something inside the soul shrine got provoked.
A light flashed inside the soul shrine, which caused the hall to turn cooler as if the temperature had dropped by 5-6 degrees. It felt like walking into a shopping mall after strolling in the streets during summer.
"This…"
All the Shamans exclaimed with shock, their eyes wide open. They felt an indescribable fear when they looked at the buzzing soul shrine; it gave them goosebumps.
As for Tang Wenchong who didn\'t understand spells, he was utterly dumbstruck.
"W-What\'s inside?"
They could feel that there was something inside the soul shrine and it was still living, but this soul shrine was buried underground for over several hundred years so they wondered just what could live for so long.
Shaman Wu Long smiled faintly, a look of ridicule flashing through his gaze. He retrieved his index finger back, after which the soul shrine buzzed twice and then calmed down.
The surroundings had also returned to normal.
The man who had mocked Jiang Xiu before said, "Did you see? That\'s a genuine Shaman."
The rest of the people there couldn\'t recover from their shock for quite the long time.
Shaman Wu Long\'s fame wasn\'t empty, he indeed possessed real skills. Jiang Xiu studied him over. This Shaman Wu Long indeed possessed magic force. According to the grade divisions in the Immortal Martial Continent, he was roughly in the Qi Refining Stage\'s 1st Realm. It was the initial cultivation stage possessed by children on the Immortal Martial Continent, but on Earth, it was enough to be considered as a top-notch Shaman."
"Master Wu Long\'s extraordinary skills have broadened this old man\'s horizons!" Tang Zhenshan deeply bowed towards Shaman Wu Long. It was clear from this that Old Father Tang revered the strong experts. "Really worthy of the title of Jiangnan\'s No. 1 Shaman!"
Shaman Wu Long shook his head, "I don\'t dare to take that title, there are two and another half persons stronger than me."
"Oh, how is it two and another half?"
Tang Zhenshan was quite curious. Though he wasn\'t a person of the spellcasting circle, he was quite interested towards it and hence liked to have contacts with them.
Since time immemorial, martial arts were egalitarian!
"The first one is naturally that esteemed person from Dongzhou, Liu Dewen, Diviner Liu."
All of the Shaman\'s present got excited after hearing this name. Even Old Father Tang reacted to it. Liu Dewen came from a traditional inheritance family, his ancestor had once helped lay down the foundations for the country and even he possessed supernatural skills. He was known as one of the top 10 Grand Shamans of the state.
"The second one is White Beard Bai in the Taoyuan Mountain range."
All of the Shamans nodded after hearing this name. White Beard Bai was also a famed Shaman expert. It was just that he was living in the mountains in seclusion for several years already and didn\'t show his face outside. This person had significant contributions in the war of resistance and had calculated the location of the hostile force\'s intelligence division and as well as the chief commander\'s position, killing them both with an artillery barrage. However, hearsay was that this person had passed away.
A Shaman to the side asked, "What about that half?"
Shaman Wu Long said, "As for the remaining half…"
"I just heard from Myriad Base\'s boss, Qin Weiping, that the Myriad Base City Plaza project had encountered strange events. A Shaman had gone over there, and this Shaman had linked a ritual paper doll of the Dragon King\'s Shrine to the real Dragon King\'s Shrine and then set the doll on fire, causing the Dragon King to pour down a heavy rain all over Jiang City. This is something too unusual. We aren\'t on the same level. This person\'s dao name is Luoxia, Grandmaster Luoxia."
Shaman Nan Kui and Little Master Teacher who were calm until now were also shocked.
Whoosh!
All of the Shamans present made a commotion.
One of them said, "Isn\'t this method equal to that legendary Arcane Spellcasting?"
Shaman Wu Long made a solemn face, "Yes!"
Although Tang Zhenshan didn\'t understand all this, he knew it was an incredible feat, "Since it\'s this way, why did Master Wu Long only say it\'s half?"
"Because I didn\'t see it personally. It\'s merely gossip, that\'s all. If I confirm it with my own eyes, it\'d mean that everything was true. This Grandmaster Luoxia would be 100 times stronger than me."
"That makes sense!"
Tang Zhenshan nodded, expressing his agreement.
"Huh, right. Where did Director Qin go?"
For quite the long time, the genuine host of this event, Qin Weiping was actually absent. A person said, "Old Father, Director Qin received a call just now, it seems like it was from Young Master Bai, so he went outside."
Tang Zhenshan nodded. It must be due to the matter of Bai Feng suffering under Jiang Xiu.
After that, they all moved towards the dining table set at a distant place. Each of them minded their own business and some food. Deity Xiu was undergoing puberty, so he often felt hungry. His hunger was already at the peak before, and there was no feast after entering inside. He couldn\'t bear it anymore and so went to the side to eat. He wasn\'t interested in what the others were discussing.
Jiang Xiu had lived in the Immortal Martial Continent for 3000 years. He had experienced all kinds of scenes, persons, and matters. He was naturally not interested in watching Wu Long\'s clumsy act.
Shaman Wu Long\'s gaze fell on the talisman Tang Zhenshan was still holding in his hands. A peculiar gleam flashed through his gaze as he spoke excitedly, "Old Father, can you lend that talisman to me once?"
Tang Zhenshan had no reason to refuse.
Shaman Wu Long held the talisman and looked at it carefully. Shaman Nan Kui as well as the Little Master Teacher also came over and studied the talisman. The three of them exchanged gazes and then nodded, greed flashing in their eyes.
According to their judgment, it was a \'Returning the Soul Fragment to Origin Talisman\', which was a rare treasure.
"Old Father, where did you get this talisman from?"
Tang Zhenshan asked, "Why do you ask?"
Shaman Wu Long said, "To tell the truth, this talisman is a \'Returning the Soul Fragment to Origin Talisman\'. We lost it a few days ago."
