On the first day of the ninth lunar month, the morning wind was already a bit cold.
Wang Ping had finally completed the Wood Spirit Array required to fuse with the Heaven-Reaching Talisman. The cost had exceeded one million taels, mainly because the Returning Spirit Powder used to inscribe the Array had to be ground entirely from Top-Grade Returning Spirit Ore.
Furthermore, Wang Ping had deliberately inscribed it on a disc crafted from Ten Thousand Year Spirit Wood, over two zhang in diameter. His goal was to refine it into a movable Magical Artifact, as he would not have much time to remain at the Dao Field on the mountain peak.
This morning, Wang Ping attempted the fusion for the first time. During the process, his human consciousness would grow dormant, as the Heaven-Reaching Talisman connected to a fundamentally inhuman power.
"Shall we go for a walk in the market down the mountain?" Yu Lian suggested, sensing that Wang Ping's humanity was beginning to quiet.
"Sure!"
