Chapter 834: A Way To Contact Immortals
Lin Wu had decided to not let Lian Dajian use the flute to call for help from the immortal world, but he obviously couldn’t show that openly.
Which was why he thought of getting Lian Dajian to show it to him first and was even willing to work a little to convince him. But he had not expected that Lian Dajian was the one who would ask for Lin Wu to take a look at it.
“How is it that you don’t know how to use it?” Lin Wu found it hard to believe.
“Well… while the ancestor did say to use the flute… he never actually mentioned the method to use it.” Lian Dajian replied.
“Isn’t it just a flute? Can’t you just play it?” Lin Wu asked.
“If it was that simple, my predecessor would have done it already.” Lian Dajian said with a sigh.
“I’ll be honest, King Lin Wu. This is embarrassing but, my clan has had a lot of difficult times in the past and we often tried to call for our ancestors in the immortal realm. But it never worked.
We played the flute in as many ways as possible, but nothing worked.” Lian Dajian revealed.
‘I knew it! No way they wouldn’t use something as big as that.’ Lin Wu thought to himself.
“I see…” Lin Wu said plainly, showing no expression on his face.
“Which is why, please help us and take a look at it, King Lin Wu. With your experience, perhaps you might know something more?” Lian Dajian said.
Lin Wu could tell the man was truly desperate now as his tone was filled with slight embarrassment.
“Alright… I’ll do it.” Lin Wu agreed, but internally thought something else. ‘HAHA! SAVED ME A LOT OF TIME!’
“GREAT! I have it right here!” Lian Dajian hurriedly spoke.
“You were certainly pre-prepared huh…” Lin Wu said as he looked at the fat man.
“I have to try my best, after all.” Lian Dajian said before taking out a certain pendant from his fat neck.
The said pendant had disappeared between his fat skin folds and Lin Wu had not even realized it was on his person.
‘Strange… system, did you not discover it?’ Lin Wu asked.
After all, the system had done a full scan of the man and knew exactly what spirit tools and other objects he had on his body.
~DING~
——
ANSWER: The pendant has no spirit Qi signatures, nor is it emitting any particular kind of energy. The system did not deem it worthy of being reported to the host.
——
“Hmm… that isn’t entirely wrong.” Lin Wu muttered in his mind.
This was a setting that he had set himself after all as in the past the system would overwhelm him with tons of information about anyone he scanned. It would even tell him what kind of underwear they wore, what fiber it was made from, and how long it had been worn.
It wasn’t really as useful, and Lin Wu only wanted the most important parts.
Thus, it was normal that the system wouldn’t tell him about a normal object.
“This is the flute.” Lian Dajian said as he tapped on the pendant three times.
~SHUA~
The small pendant suddenly expanded and turned into a twelve inch long flute. It seemed to be made out of some kind of a metal and Lin Wu couldn’t recognize it from a look.
“Hmm… let me take a look.” Lin Wu extended his tail.
“Here you go.” Lian Dajian passed the flute onto the tail.
“System, do another scan of this flute. Try to get as much information as possible.” Lin Wu ordered.
~DING~
——
SCANNER: Facilitated
TARGET SELECTED: Unknown Flute
Please wait patiently…
——
Lin Wu knew that the system would take a while to scan it all, thus he decided to take a look himself.
The grey metal flute was about twelve inches long and had six holes on its top. On its ends, only one was open while the other was closed. The string with which the flute was originally hung on Lian Dajian’s neck was now acting as a tassel, hanging from the side of the flute.
‘Nothing seems to be recognizable just from the naked eyes… perhaps with radiation percolation?’ Lin Wu thought.
His eyes glowed lightly as he activated his innate skill.
~shua~
His vision changed to a different color and the grey metal flute in his hand took on an indigo color showing that it was a bit cold. But that was normal since the surrounding here were cooler than outside too.
‘Not in this range… I need to find something else…’ Lin Wu thought to himself and controlled his skill to change to a different range of spectrum.
But despite that, he wasn’t able to sense anything from the flute.
‘Strange… other than the normal background radiation emitted by the flute, it has no other peculiarities.’ Lin Wu concluded.
He even used his spirit sense and only found it to be a normal object. Ten minutes had now passed by and Lin Wu was still unable to come with it.
‘Is it really a normal object?’ Lin Wu wondered now.
Lian Dajian and Elder Ruanjian had been watching patiently and knew that Lin Wu was trying to analyze the flute. But seeing the glow in Lin Wu’s eyes dim, they wondered if he had learned something.
“Did you figure out something, King Lin Wu?” Lian Dajian questioned.
“Hmm… it is really strange. This thing has no markings, no runes, no spirit Qi or even immortal Qi in it. Other than the fact that I cannot recognize the metal with which this flute is made with, I don’t know how to use it either.” Lin Wu answered.
Hearing this, Lian Dajian’s face turned tight with a frown.
“Please take your time and look into it deeper, King Lin Wu. I beseech you.” Lian Dajian said, not wanting to give up this quickly.
“Mmhmm… let me use some other methods.” Lin Wu said and waited for the system to finish with its work.
