“It seems this is the magical artefact the Evil Dao Hall uses to collect and store souls.”
Chen Ping muttered to himself, his eyes revealing a wisdom and contemplation.
He began to study the runes on the jade pendant carefully.
These runes were extremely complex, like mysterious codes, containing profound laws of soul power.
While studying, Chen Ping deduced cracking methods in his mind.
His brows furrowed and relaxed at times, as if engaged in a fierce battle with those runes.
Time passed minute by minute, Chen Ping completely immersed in his research.
He seemed to forget everything, focusing only on the jade pendant in his hand and the deductions in his mind.
Meanwhile, in Hu Mazi’s room, bursts of laughter echoed.
The two maids were serving Hu Mazi devotedly, their faces blooming with gentle smiles, eyes showing submission and shyness towards him.
Hu Mazi lay on the bed, enjoying this unprecedented pleasure, his face full of satisfaction, as if he had reached the peak of life.
“Miss Lin is still the thoughtful one, knowing what I need.”
Hu Mazi thought to himself, his eyes showing pride and contentment.
In the following days, Chen Ping researched the jade pendant day and night without stop.
He forgot to eat and sleep, spending almost all his time on the research.
Lin Yuner visited him every day, bringing him some immortal dew and immortal fruits.
Seeing Chen Ping so diligent, Lin Yuner’s heart was filled with gratitude.
She knew Chen Ping was researching the jade pendant so desperately for her father.
Meanwhile, Hu Mazi stayed in his room all day, frolicking with the two maids.
He rarely even left the room, completely immersed in the land of tenderness.
As if the world to him consisted only of those two maids and that warm bed.
“Master Hu, if you continue like this, your body will not hold up.”
Lin Yuner said with some worry, her eyes showing concern and anxiety.
Hu Mazi laughed heartily, the laughter carrying a hint of disdain: “Miss Lin, rest assured, my body is in fine fettle, this is nothing at all.
Back in the day, I handled ten women by myself without issue.”
Lin Yuner shook her head helplessly and said no more.
She had never seen a man so reckless with women before.
After several days of diligent research, Chen Ping finally gained some understanding of the jade pendant.
This jade pendant was a secret magical artefact of the Evil Dao Hall, specially for collecting and storing souls.
Only elders who had been appointed had the qualification to wear it, ordinary Evil Dao Hall cultivators could only use soul storage pouches to store souls.
The runes in the jade pendant contained powerful soul power laws, capable of forcibly extracting a cultivator’s soul and sealing it within the pendant.
“So that is how it is, no wonder Xue Wuying could collect so many cultivators’ souls.”
Chen Ping suddenly understood, his eyes showing relief after the realisation.
However, he had not yet found a method to release the souls.
The design of this jade pendant was very ingenious, only allowing entry but not exit, once a soul was sucked in, it was very difficult to release it again.
“It seems I need to find a way to crack it.”
Chen Ping said with furrowed brows, his eyes showing determination and persistence.
He believed that as long as he persisted in researching, he would surely find the cracking method.
He continued studying the runes on the jade pendant, trying to find flaws in them.
His fingers gently caressed the jade pendant, as if feeling every subtle change in the runes.
At that moment, he discovered that the runes on the jade pendant seemed to form a cyclic array.
This array continuously absorbed the surrounding soul power while firmly sealing the souls within the jade pendant.
