990: C990 Open First Lock

C990 Open First Lock

The function of this kind of lock was not to rely on complicated mechanisms, but rather to set up exquisite formations. In other words, the key needed to unlock the lock was only able to be used in such an exquisite array. Although these locks looked average, they were also grade five spirit weapons.2

Tang Ao compared all three locks he had, then picked one of the locks to carefully examine. Mo Wuji sat cross-legged on the other hand, and placed the three locks on the ground in front of him. Xue Ding was the first one to start refining the key. After looking through the three locks, he picked one of the locks and started to refine the keys.

There were already quite a few people in the Artifact Forging Plaza, and after the Owner appeared, many people who had never seen the Mistress of Nether Moon before gathered over. After knowing about the refining competition between Tang Ao and the other two, even more people gathered over. Everything in Black Crow Market was in order, and new and interesting things rarely happened, thus the matter of the three people competing naturally attracted the attention of the crowd.

On a stone platform in Artifact Forging Plaza, Tang Ao and the other two sat on one side. Tang Ao and Mo Wuji were still observing the lock while Xue Ding took out a crafting furnace and began refining the key. Xue Ding took out a piece of secret silver that was the size of a washbasin. This secret silver was a top grade six material, from the large piece of secret silver that was in Xue Ding's hands, one could tell just how astonishing its wealth was.

The reason why Xue Ding took out this piece of secret silver was obviously not because he wanted to show off, but because it was the easiest way to mold and inscribe inscription array s. For such a big piece of secret silver, forget about refining three keys, even refining a hundred keys was enough. Xue Ding did not believe that he was such a useless trash. Even if he had to refine a hundred spirit locks for a mere three hundred spirit locks, he would not be able to open a single one.

Tang Ao naturally saw Xue Ding take out a large piece of mithril, Tang Ao shook his head, refining this kind of thing using such precious materials was simply a waste. As a result, under everyone's astonished gazes, Tang Ao took out forty-nine metal plates from his storage ring. These iron plates were all square feet, Tang Ao used his spirit energy to support these iron plates in mid air, surrounding him in a circle.

"Pretending to be ghosts!" When Xue Ding saw Tang Ao's actions, he muttered a sentence on the corner of his mouth, then stopped looking at Tang Ao and concentrated on refining his own spirit artifact key.

After Tang Ao arranged these iron plates around himself, he casually drew something on them. Tang Ao seemed to be drawing some kind of inscription array, but also seemed to be scribbling. Every time he drew a few strokes, he would ponder for a while. After he felt that something was amiss, a cyan colored Sword Qi gushed out from Tang Ao's hands, slicing off a layer of the metal board, and then drew again.

A tea's worth of cultivation technique was very fast, Tang Ao and the other two hadn't even been able to refine the key to open the spirit lock. But at the moment, Ming Yue didn't seem to care about the time, she was more concerned about whether Tang Ao and the other two could actually concoct the key to the spirit lock. Xue Ding had already refined eleven keys, and this eleventh key was undoubtedly a success. Although he couldn't completely open the spirit lock, it still managed to spin half a circle. As long as he managed to break through another half a circle, Xue Ding's first lock would open.

Seeing Xue Ding's actions, Mo Wuji's heart trembled, and immediately after, a feeling of enlightenment descended onto Mo Wuji's body. Mo Wuji smiled indifferently, and then, he took out an egg sized piece of pure gold and started to refine the key. Mo Wuji did not use the crafting furnace. Instead, he summoned out the flames on his hands and began to refine it. Tang Ao naturally knew that Xue Ding had almost opened a spirit lock just now and was about to start refining the spirit artifact key. However, Tang Ao pretended to not hear anything and continued to draw some strange lines on the metal board.
