City of Itra, In a large courtyard.
Elder Pith was lounging in the lawn, relaxing under the warm sun. He had various exotic fruits, neatly cut and arranged in the bowls, on the table next to him.
He also had a glass of chilled wine in his hand and a beautiful woman standing a few feet away. She was a young cultivator at Divine plane initiation.
She was also considered as quite a talent in the city. But now, she was just his maid.
Pith felt quite good staying here, obviously.
He got more respect that he could ever gain in the academy realm. There he was just an elder with a little bit of experience. His cultivation has long stagnated and there is little hope for him. He is just going to be the man in Divine Plane Consummation, middle stage.
Nothing more.
But here, he is one of the power houses. With his above average knowledge and skills he honed in auxiliary professions, he is able to do whatever he wants. He is treated as a guest of honor and he struck quite a few business deals in this realm already.
Until the heat over Sam's incident dies over, he decided to stay here.
"That obstinate bastard, Ling Tian. All I did was try to kill a second grader. What's the big deal? The other academies can't thank enough for doing that. Why hold a grudge over such a troublemaker?"
He muttered to himself, when the maid's communication device lit up.
She slowly walked Pith and said.
"Sir, The Elder of the Dawn household is here to see you along with his subordinates. They already made an appointnt beforehand."
"Oh, they arrived? Let them co in. Arrange the chairs for them here, we will talk here."
The maid arranged the chairs and left. Soon, she ca back with eight people, who all took a seat there.
The maid quietly stood behind Pith.
"Hello, Elder Pith. I am Elder Bran from Dawn.
These are my subordinates.
Kai, Wani, this is my youngest subordinate, you can just call him fatty.
That's Mitra, Varna, Arka, Vitra."
Pith politely smiled and greeted them.
"Nice to et you all. Please take a seat."
Everyone did.
"So, what business do you guys have with ?"
Elder Bran looked conflicted imdiately. His gaze landed on the maid and Pith imdiately understood.
"Little girl, leave us alone for a while."
She bowed and left.
Elder Pith took out a high grade concealnt formation disc and activated it.
"No one can interrupt us like this. Now, you can speak freely."
"Sir, I heard from a grapevine that you are looking for clues on any ancient civilizations in this realm. A few months ago, we actually found sothing and only recently we figured out so of its uses. The inscription system was very foreign to us and it took a lot of effort for us to make sense of it.
Recently, after the few goods that you have put up in the market, I have managed to acquire so to study. The inscription system in one of the puppet designs you sold was very similar to the inscription system in the item we found.
So, maybe this can be useful to you.
Pith sat straight and looked at them in shock.
"The puppet system is similar to the object you have?"
"Yes, sir."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, sir. It is just as complex and intricate. It is a bit damaged, but it is definitely the sa."
"Show it to . Quickly."
Bran looked flustered, but he still look out sothing. It looked like a large rectangular stone chamber. Almost like a coffin. It even had a lid and everything.
There were several intricate inscription inlaid on it and within the stone casing, there were several chanisms.
It looked beat up.
So parts are exposed and they were roughly patched up.
Pith was stunned.
"What does this do? Have you guys tried it?"
"Yes sir. It seed to have a healing effect. After repairing it a bit, we put so beasts to test to it. The healing effect has a pretty broad scope, it even removed the toxins and reduced the damage on the nerves and blood vessels.
Even ridian networks are having an effect.
But right now, we only patched it up a little bit. Even one of my subordinates went into it and tried it out.
They saw a significant effect in purifying their body of so toxins. Their blockage that's stopping them from breaking through has loosened.
Its energy consumption is pretty high.
We wanted to test it more, but such a miraculous thing, we didn't dare just ss around with it casually.
So, I brought it to you.
You are the only one we are showing this to. Not even the superiors of my household know of this."
"It can have an effect on the blockage?"
"Yes, sir. I can have my fatty test it out, if you want. You can see it right now."
Bran gestured and the fat guy entered the chamber.
Before they closed the lid, Pith checked the cultivation state of the fat guy.
They closed the lid and the inscriptions glowed. It glowed for about fifteen minutes. It was ethereal and almost out of the world. Pith had never seen anything so magical. Except for the things in the hub.
The fat guy ca back and Pith hurriedly checked him out again. He can feel it. One of the primary indicators of clearing the blockage is change in energy storage capacity.
Now, the fat guy can hold more energy than before.
The difference is not that big, but it was definitely there.
"I want to check it myself."
He hurriedly dragged the fatty out and climbed into the chamber. The lid was closed.
It was activated.
The next mont… all eight visitors placed their hands on the chamber and a massive inscription was activated.
Large tal spikes flew out from the sides, with chains attacked to them. They lodged into the soil, imdiately activating the formation.
Elder Pith who was inside, suddenly felt stiff and at a loss of strength.
