Chapter 2248 Null Iron Ore
Chapter 2248 Null Iron Ore
Lin Mu couldn't help but take a second look at the large chunk of Ore. Nôv(el)B\\jnn
"What's it use?" Qiao De asked, not being able to think of anything right away.
"Since it is Attributeless, it can be used as an empty template for a lot of arrays that might require multiple elements. Plus, it can also be used in weapons and other immortal tools to be used as a filler.
While its is attributeless, it is also quite tough, as Daoist Mu Lin has already seen. But in its natural state it is highly porous, so it needed to be refined more." Lady Kang explained. "Though there is also another rare thing that can happen with it." She added.
"What's that?" Lin Mu asked.
"The reason it is porous is due to it being in the void." Lady Kang replied.
"Hmm… it gets pelted with the Spatial Energy all the time. That's what creates the pores." Lin Mu could understand that.
"Yeah and because of that, it can sometimes contain other materials inside it." Lady Kang said before looking at the large chunk. "That Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus took advantage of the pores and anchored its roots inside it. But I think there's more to that." She spoke.
"Hmm… now that I think of it, there have never been records of a Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus, or just any Dazzling Mud Lotus anchoring their roots in this way." Crown Princess Shang stated. "In fact, they rarely embed their roots too deeply, since they need to be mobile in case of danger. They prefer to float away if they find an area inhospitable." She explained.
"Then if it is putting its roots like this… There must be something that attracted it to do that." Crown Prince Feng Shun stroked his chin in thought.
"Can you see what's inside it?" Ziran asked. "You should be able to now that we're out of the Lake right?" "Yeah." Lin Mu nodded his head. "Give me a moment." He said before activating his Spatial Perception.
~SHUA~
Lin Mu's eyes looked past the surface of the Null Iron and in its depths.
The first thing he saw were the dense roots of the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus. They were of varying thickness and covered every part of the Null Iron chunk. 'It certainly would've been harmed if I tried to cut it directly.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'Let's see just what made it take root here.' He went deeper.
After a couple seconds, Lin Mu observed a spindle shaped compartment inside the Null Iron Chunk. The roots of the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus had been trying to reach this, but had been stopped a few inches before it. As such, it formed a contrast against the entire Null Iron Chunk, making it look like there was a 'core' of some sort inside.
'Now what's this? It's definitely not something of the Spatial Element.' Lin Mu didn't perceive any Spatial energy fluctuations from it so reckoned it must be another material. The others could see the change in his expression and realized that he must've found something inside the Null Iron Chunk.
"What is it?" Lady Kang asked.
"There's definitely something inside it, but I can't tell what it is. It's encapsulated and the roots of the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus cannot reach it." Lin Mu answered.
"Hmm… if we want to reach it, we definitely need to remove the roots of the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus first." Lady Kang spoke before looking at the Crown Princess. "You have anyway to do that?" she asked.
"I do." Crown Princess Shang replied. "Give me a minute." She said before closing her eyes.
~SHUA~SHUA~SHUA~
Then, she made several hand seals before a wave of strong wood elemental immortal Qi could be felt from her. Crown Princess Shang's body glowed in a green light as a small orb of similar color formed on her palm.
It was barely an inch in diameter, but the amount of Wood Elemental immortal Qi contained within it was quite high.
~WHOOSH~
Crown Princess Shang released it after a minute and controlled it to go near the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus.
The green orb continued to release waves of energy that reached the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus and made it react.
~wuwuwwuwu~
It started to move and swayed. Its shoots came close to the green orb, trying to touch it, but the orb moved away. The shoots went after it, but Crown Princess Shang kept on luring it away from the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus.
She did this repeatedly until the Green Orb was far enough that the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus could no longer extend its shoots.
~wuwuwwu~
But it was still desirous of the green orb and the energy that was inside it.
"You're gonna have to leave the Chunk if you want to get this," Crown Princess Shang spoke.
But the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus seemed to be conflicted. Its instincts were telling it to get the green orb, but it also didn't wish to leave the Null Iron Chunk.
"Come on, it'll be good for you." Crown princess Shang tried to coax the plant.
Five minutes passed like this, and the Three Colored Dazzling Mud Lotus was still unsure of its choice. The Crown Princess was getting confused by this time too and furrowed her brows.
"They usually give in at this point." Crown Princess Shang spoke. "The temptation for the Wood elemental immortal Qi is too high for them to leave it be. This is one of the signature techniques of our Shang Clan after all." She added.
"Oh? What is it?" Lin Mu asked.
"This is the Green Shang Lure." Crown Princess Shang answered. "Very useful to catch immoral herbs that do not want to be caught." She explained.
"I see…" Lin Mu knew that even some of the non sentient immortal herbs would try to run away if they were being targeted.
