Yun Yi took the exquisite handcrafted item in his hands, marveling at its beauty and craftsmanship. After admiring it for a moment, he stored the piece away in his private storage space.
As expected, the Wood Carving did not transform into an Immortal Totem as anticipated; it simply lay quietly in one of the compartments.
To further verify, Yun Yi took out the Wood Carving again and said to Zhao Feng, "You can try coloring it."
Zhao Feng followed his instructions carefully, applying color to the Wood Carving. It was a time-consuming and meticulous process. After more than ten minutes, he completed the task, gently placing the brush back in the Toolbox. Then he blew softly on the Wood Carving to help it dry.
"Your Excellency, I have finished coloring it," Zhao Feng reported.
Yun Yi smiled and nodded in acceptance of the completed craft, taking care not to damage the paint that was still drying. He then placed the Wood Carving back into his storage space.
Immediately, a strange phenomenon occurred: the item that had previously occupied only a small corner now filled an entire compartment.
As he focused on the object, a description appeared at the bottom: Immortal Totem not activated.
Thus, it seemed that this was not just my likeness; it also required coloring to become a true Immortal Totem! Yun Yi speculated inwardly, recalling the description of the golden, mysterious Immortal Totem from the game.
The Wood Carving before him, while not entirely golden, was mostly covered in gold paint, with only a few areas adorned with silver accents. From this, Yun Yi boldly inferred that the application of gold paint might be a key factor in transforming the statue into an Immortal Totem.
He then took out the statue that Zhao An had not yet colored.
"This time, can we try using only silver paint instead of gold?" he asked Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng nodded eagerly and quickly applied silver paint to the statue. After a few minutes, he successfully completed it and handed it back to Yun Yi.
Once again, Yun Yi placed it into his portable storage space. The result was clear: the statue had undergone no transformation.
The mystery was unveiled; to turn the Wood Carving into an Immortal Totem, the use of gold was crucial.
To further confirm this discovery, Yun Yi instructed Zhao Feng to continue carving and testing multiple statues next. This time, they would avoid using any gold paint.
In the end, he discovered that only when the area covered by the gold paint exceeded half could the statue transform into an Immortal Totem after being stored in his backpack. Moreover, the statue had to perfectly mimic another being; otherwise, it would not be able to become an Immortal Totem.
However, the most perplexing part was that no matter how hard he tried, the transformed Immortal Totem always bore an unactivated mark. This left Yun Yi wondering what conditions needed to be met to truly activate this Immortal Totem. After much contemplation, he came up empty-handed and finally sighed, deciding to let it go and take things as they came; perhaps one day he would discover the answer.
He then gently shook Zhao Feng's shoulder and said, "Thanks to your efforts, let's find a place to talk."
In a small pavilion surrounded by ponds, Yun Yi held his Fishing Rod and contentedly fished. Zhao Feng sat on his left, observing curiously. To the side, Guan Yu's gaze wandered, seemingly lost in thought.
At that moment, the fishing line suddenly sank quickly, and Yun Yi reacted swiftly, pulling it up. With a splash, a black Ink Pouch about the size of a fist appeared at his feet.
The Ink Pouch was often regarded as useless among many fishing catches, but in reality, it held some value. While not particularly useful, it did have practical applications. For instance, it could be used to create black dye or combined with paper and feathers to make scrolls and writing tools. Especially during the late Eastern Han period, when information was primarily recorded on bamboo slips and with engraved pens, the convenience of books and writing tools was undeniable.
Furthermore, the Fishing Rod in Yun Yi's hand possessed the charm attribute of Sea's Gift, making the capture probability of the Ink Pouch even lower; it would likely take hundreds of attempts to catch one.
As Yun Yi organized the newly caught Ink Pouch and stored it in his backpack, he asked Zhao Feng, "Where did you learn those exquisite Mozi techniques? Did someone teach you?"
