He ispletely baffled by the intricacies of the formation and struggles to grasp its fundamental principles and logic.


    Thus, when he encountered the formation left by Charlie, he found himself at a loss. What purpose does this formation serve?


    In reality, this formation is known as a passive defense formation, as detailed in the “Nine Xuantian Jing.” When the wearer of the magical artifactes under attack, the formation activates instantly, utilizing its own energy to shield the master from harm.


    The operation and effectiveness of the formation can be likened to a basic math equation. If the force of the attack is less than the formation’s strength, the master remains unharmed;


    however, if the iing attack exceeds the formation’s capacity, it will exert its utmost effort to absorb the impact for the master. Any damage that exceeds its limits will still affect the master. Unfortunately, Uncle Willie has never encountered such a formation before,<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    which leaves him puzzled about the true purpose of this jade wrench finger.<fnd1fa> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n find{n}ovel</fnd1fa>


    With this thought, he couldn’t help but mentally berate the old fox, “That cunning old man never disclosed anything of substance. Now I’ve stumbled upon a magical artifact, yet I’m clueless about its function. Even if I possess it, I feel utterly blind. To uncover its effects, I might have to return and consult that old fox… But if it truly is a valuable item, what if that old fox decides to keep it for himself?”


    This line of thinking only fueled Uncle Willie’s frustration.


    Before he could unravel the enigma of the finger-wrench, Zhao Laosi (Reed) leaned in closer and said, “Old man, you’ve had enough of that! Just give it back to me!”


    Startled, Uncle Willie hesitated, grappling with his thoughts, “For us cultivators, magical artifacts are of utmost importance. Even the British Lord is fixated on the mysterious ring in Lin Wan’er’s possession, highlighting the significance of these artifacts to cultivators. After years of searching, this is the first time I’vee across a genuine magical weapon outside; I can’t bear to part with it!”


    He then cursed himself internally, “But should I just take this magical artifact for myself? Or should I hand it back to this guy and continue the conversation? Snatching it away might be easy, and even if this kid can’t stop me, there are too many witnesses around. If he calls the police, I’d be stuck in Aurous Hill. Besides, what if his older brother possesses other magical weapons? I could inadvertently alert them and make a grave error over something trivial.”


    As he mulled this over, Uncle Willie began to piece together the broader context.


    He surmised, “The person in front of me, who seems so eager for money, must be part of a tomb-robbing gang in Aurous Hill. They likely just unearthed an ancient tomb and acquired this finger along with other valuable artifacts. Now they are probably on the hunt for a strong buyer, which exins why this kid is here with a sign, waiting to meet a Hong Kong businessman…”


    Since the Hong Kong businessman hasn’t shown up yet, if I can get in touch with him, I might be able to see all the treasures they unearthed. If there are indeed numerous magical weapons, it could lead to a great bounty! Thinking along these lines, he turned to Zhao Laosi (Reed) and asked earnestly, “Brother, what’s the asking price for this finger? Be honest with me. If it’s reasonable, I’ll buy it!”
