Chapter 408: 355
Yuyan revealed her longing eyes and asked, "My king, what about mine?"
Sun Wukong was at a loss for words, "Don't you have a Pill Furnace?"
"That's for alchemy. Do you really think that thing could be used to hit people?" Yuyan rolled her eyes, "Although it indeed can, it would get damaged, you know?"
"Well, actually, that furnace has been tempered by the Nanming Li Fire during your alchemy sessions and it's a bit harder than you might think." Seeing Yuyan's eyes narrow to slits, Sun Wukong quickly changed his tune, "Let's be serious, bring out that alchemy furnace of yours."
Yuyan took out the tripod with three legs from her Qiankun Bag.
Sun Wukong reached in and took out the gold and silver ring from the bottom, saying, "This item is a byproduct of your alchemy and is the prototype of a magical artifact. With your abilities, who knows how long it will take to fully form it. I shall help you catalyze it to hasten its emergence."
As he spoke, Sun Wukong plucked a strand of hair, wrapped it around the gold and silver ring, and pointed at three places, refining it with calamities of thunder, fire, and wind, causing the hair to merge with the ring.
Hum—
On the smooth surface of the gold and silver ring appeared layers of looped patterns, like ropes wound around it, forming a bracelet that shimmered with divine light and mist, carrying a light sweet scent.
"It smells so good." Yuyan sniffed with her delicate nose, her eyes full of curiosity, "Why does this magical artifact emit such a sweet scent?"
Sun Wukong handed the gold and silver ring to Yuyan, irritably said, "That would be because you used that furnace to make so many tofu cakes."
"Uh..." Yuyan chuckled sheepishly, quickly changing the subject, "My king, what is this magical artifact called? What does it do?"
"You can name it yourself. As for its function, it should be able to absorb anything from heaven and earth," Sun Wukong said, somewhat uncertainly. "Legend has it that Taishang Laojun has a treasure called the Vajra Bracelet, a transformed pill that can encompass everything. Since your gold and silver ring also came out of the Pill Furnace... it should be able to absorb everything too."
"That's amazing." Yuyan slid the gold and silver ring onto her arm, feeling it connect with her mind. With just a thought, she could control it to function.
"Tieshan, shall we give it a try?" Yuyan looked at Tieshan with pleading eyes.
"Okay then." Tieshan was always gentle with her sister Yuyan, "How do we test it?"
"You hold the banana fan, and I'll activate the ring to see if it can suck it over," Yuyan had thought of a method beforehand.
"I'm ready."
Tieshan held the banana fan, signaling Yuyan to begin.
However, inside Tieshan felt that the function of the gold and silver ring was definitely not about encompassing things, otherwise, the king would not have mentioned it with such uncertainty.
But Sun Wukong looked very solemn, and she could not discern anything from his expression.
"Maybe I'm just overthinking it," Tieshan thought.
"Here I go!"
Yuyan activated the gold and silver ring, and it detached from her arm, starting to rotate in the palm of her hand. An array of strange lights flashed, yet Tieshan didn't feel any pulling force on the banana fan in her hand.
"Huh?"
Tieshan suddenly felt her Qiankun Bag being pulled toward the turning ring in the center of Yuyan's palm.
A distraction tactic!
Clever Yuyan, she said it was the banana fan, but it actually sucked her Qiankun Bag!
However, when the Qiankun Bag reached the center of the gold and silver ring, it just couldn't pass through, displaying only a bulge as if what was being pulled was not the bag but something inside it.
"Hmm? Why isn't it the banana fan?" Yuyan was puzzled, while one end of the Qiankun Bag suddenly tore, and several pieces of tofu cake, a few peaches, and a pear burst through the gold and silver ring, falling into the nearby furnace.
"Ouch, that hurts." The pear cried out after a drop and tears streamed from its eyes.
"A talking fruit." Sun Wukong picked up the pear.
"Don't eat me!" Seeing Sun Wukong was a monkey demon, the pear squished its features together, dripping with tears and snot, continuing to cry till Tieshan took it back in her hands.
"This is a Wisdom Fruit, named Duanbing, a gift from Immortal Zhenyuan to me and Yuyan, one for each." Tieshan briefly explained the origin of the Wisdom Fruit.
"Wisdom Fruit? It doesn't seem too clever; could it be foolishly wise?" Sun Wukong asked.
"I'm not sure, but its tears are pretty sweet," Tieshan seriously remarked. MyVirtualLibraryEmpire(MVLEMPYR)appreciatesyourreadershipatthesource.
"Wait, why did everything that came over turn out to be food?" Yuyan rummaged through the furnace, but aside from the tofu cakes and peaches, along with the Duanbing pear that had returned to Tieshan's hands, there was nothing else.
Sun Wukong picked up the Qiankun Bag with a small tear, repaired it, handed it back to Tieshan, then said to Yuyan, "It must be because you often use the furnace to make tofu cakes that caused the gold and silver ring to acquire an affinity for grains and vegetables. Thus, your gold and silver ring might only be able to absorb food."
"What's the use of that!" Yuyan cursed loudly, nearly driven mad!
She had thought it was a treasure, but it turned out to be nothing more than an ordinary tool good for gathering grains and vegetables.
Such a thing might be very useful for mortals, who wouldn't have to worry about food and drink anymore.
But for Yuyan, this thing was even less useful than her furnace.
At least she could use it to hit people.
