Chapter 115 (1/2)

Spiritual furnace was the core of a treasure ship, just like the base of a spiritual tattoo formation.

In the empire, there were all kinds of commercial or civilian treasure ships with different functions.

But the treasure ship that Old Mo mentioned was completely different from other ones. It was called Ziying Battleship and was a strategic weapon which played an important role in the imperial armies.

In Ziyao Empire, according to size, battleships were divided into three classes – small, medium and large.

For example, the Silver Eagle Battleship by which Shi Yu came to the Bloodthirsty Camp before was a medium-sized warship newly developed by the Academy of Spiritual Implements, and its space was large enough to hold over one thousand people; besides, it was equipped with spiritual tattoo cannons, whose power of attack was extremely terrible.

The Ziying Battleship which Old Mo wanted to transform was a kind of small-sized warship and it was also the most famous classic warship in the empire. It had been updated a dozen times over hundreds of years and had reached the peak level of current small warships.

This meant that there was little room for any improvement or modification of it.

As it was spiritual tattoo formation, it had the possibility of continuous improvement!

Old Mo was a spiritual tattoo master. Having spent many years on study of spiritual tattoos, he was aware that if “Golden-flame Spiritual Formation” could replace “Moonlight Spiritual Formation”, there would be a radical change in the power of Ziying Battleship.

For this reason, he lost sleep and forgot to eat in these months, kept trying and studying all kinds of possibilities, and experimented many times in person, but all failed in the end.

It was not because of spiritual furnace, but the spiritual tattoo formation.

According to the difference of power, spiritual tattoo formations were divided into four levels of primary, intermediate, advanced and top-level.

“Golden-flame Spiritual Formation” was an intermediate spiritual tattoo formation, and its most significant effect was to swallow and spit the essence of sunlight and moonlight, and then melted it into a kind of terrible force called Golden Flame.

“Moonlight Spiritual Formation” was a primary spiritual tattoo formation which could only absorb the essence of the moon at night. Although the power it produced was strong, in any case it was inferior to Golden-flame Spiritual Formation.

Unfortunately, Ziying Battleship had its own limits and it was difficult to be equipped with a higher level of spiritual tattoo formation for its specification and material.

Unless Ziying Battleship was completely reinvented. However, if so, would it still be Ziying Battleship? Moreover, it was a classic warship whose specification and material, over hundreds of years, were confirmed by countless spiritual tattoo masters gradually, so it was almost flawless.

With his ability, Old Mo dare not say that he could transform Ziying Battleship from stem to stern by himself.

Therefore, he had to transform spiritual furnace and tried to replace the original spiritual tattoo formation with a new one.

But after failing several times, Old Mo began to realize profoundly that this step was also extremely difficult to achieve. If it were not for the news from Young Man today, he almost gave up directly!

And that’s why Old Mo was looking forward to the result when Lin Xun appeared and said he could help solve the problem.

But at the same time, Old Mo worried a lot. Old Mo was a spiritual tattoo master, and by his attainments in spiritual tattoos, he, at least, could be called as the first-class spiritual tattoo master in the empire!

Even he couldn’t solve the problem, and how could Lin Xun — a 13 or 14-year-old boy do that?

Although Old Mo highly doubted it, having been driven to the wall by this problem, he could only let Lin have a try as a last resort.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

When Old Mo was letting his mind wander, Lin Xun had stood in front of the high table, picked up the inscribing pen, and bent over a piece of white paper to draw something.

The sharp point of the pen, dipped in the most ordinary ink, with a light and ethereal technique, traced strands of hair-like spiritual tattoo lines on the white paper.

But spiritual tattoo lines were not light. On the contrary, it gave people a kind of strength which was condensed and steady as well as simple and unadorned.

Old Mo’s gaze sharpened. The most particular technique of a spiritual tattooist was the inscribing style which varied from person to person — some strange and changeful, some light and beautiful, some magnificent, and some vigorous and firm.

Lin Xun’s movements were free and flowing, light and skillful, like floating clouds and flowing water — natural and smooth, and the spiritual tattoo lines he drew were condensed and steady as well as simple and unadorned, with tremendous momentum.

In addition to solid basic skills, obviously in terms of spiritual tattoos, Lin had his own style!

That was pretty rare!

At least among the spiritual tattooists Old Mo knew, there was hardly one who could reach this level at the age of 13 or 14.

Mo’s expectations had increased a lot, and there was a slight difference in the way he looked at Lin Xun–this boy was not simple!

But when he saw the spiritual tattoo drawn by Lin Xun, Old Mo frowned at once, and he couldn’t help but ask, “Is this Green Wood Spiritual Formation?”

Lin Xun was absorbed in drawing and he turned a deaf ear to the things that happened around him.
