Mythical Cultivation

However, when she saw that everyone was holding not just one token, but several identical tokens, she felt relieved.

For her, who was knowledgeable and had been touching the token for many years, this situation was somewhat unexpected, but it was not an unsolvable problem.

Old Madam Bai walked forward steadily. She stretched out her hands and carefully touched the four tokens in front of her one by one.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and everything around them became quiet. Wu Ming and the other three were a little afraid to breathe loudly, watching Mrs. Bai's judgment.

After just a moment, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Mrs. Bai's face. It was obvious that she already knew which of the four tokens was the real treasure.

At the same time, Wu Ming, who was standing aside, took advantage of this opportunity to carefully look at the token in his hand.

You know, before this, because he had just obtained the token and had not had time to examine it carefully, his attention was attracted by a mysterious knowledge that suddenly emerged in his mind.

Later, he followed Nangong Wending and three others in a hurry back to Bai Mansion, and had no time to check the token along the way.

This token is about the same size as an ordinary person's palm. At first glance, it does not seem to be much different from other ordinary tokens.

However, when Wu Ming held it in his hand, he could clearly feel that its weight far exceeded the weight of an ordinary token.

Looking at the color of the token, the whole body presents an ancient bronze color, but it is difficult to tell what material it is made of.

On one side of the token were inscribed two powerful characters: Pi Lei. On the other side, a puzzling pattern, with intricate lines, resembled a heavenly script, leaving one completely baffled.

Although the entire token looks ordinary and has nothing special about it, who would have known that it is actually a rare treasure?

After a short while, Madam Bai pointed at the token in Wu Ming's hand and said slowly, "This token is real."

Madam Bai slowly reached out her hand and took the token from Wu Ming. Her expression was originally serious, but when her eyes fell on the token, a faint smile appeared on her face.

At this moment, Nangong Wending, who was standing nearby, heard what Madam Bai said and hurriedly bowed slightly, saying respectfully, "Congratulations, Madam, on finally recovering such a precious treasure after so many twists and turns!"

His voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just right to convey his inner joy and respect.

However, Madam Bai didn't let that smile last too long. She quickly restrained herself and restored her previous dignified demeanor, saying slowly, "The fact that we were able to recover the treasure this time is entirely due to the concerted efforts of all of you.

If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to explain myself to my husband in the future!"

Having said that, she couldn't help but sigh, as if relieved.

After a brief pause, Madam Bai spoke again, "Now that the treasure has been recovered, I believe those thieves who dared to steal it should have been completely destroyed by you, right?

You have made such great contributions this time, and the Bai Mansion will certainly reward you generously to express our gratitude."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Wending quickly responded, "Madam, rest assured. Most of those thieves have perished. Only their leader took advantage of the chaos and escaped. Fortunately, Deputy Commander Zhou and his men are pursuing him with all their might. I believe they will be captured soon."

He then added a few more details about the situation: "The man in black who escaped sustained several wounds during the fierce battle, and was particularly close to being pierced through the heart by Brother Wu's sword. With such serious injuries, it would be a fool's dream for him to escape and ascend to heaven."

"That's good. Seeing that you all are injured, I think you must have encountered a very dangerous battle tonight.

"That's all, go down quickly and have a good rest! I'll leave the rest to Mr. Qu."

Old Lady Bai slowly glanced at Nangong Wending and the others, and when she saw the particularly serious injuries on Wu Ming's body, she couldn't help but reveal a bit of worry in her eyes.

Nangong Wending, Wu Ming and the other two priests were already exhausted after experiencing the thrilling life-and-death battle tonight.

Hearing what Old Lady Bai said, they all bowed and took their leave as if they had been pardoned.

Then, they walked towards their respective residences with slightly heavy steps without looking back.

Before I knew it, more than half a month had passed.

"I never imagined that the lightning-proof restrictions within this token would be so complex and intricate. I've only just taken a preliminary look at it, and it's already taken me nearly ten days.

Judging from the situation, if I want to fully comprehend and master this lightning-proof restriction, I'm afraid it will not be achieved in the short term..."

Thinking of this, Wu Ming couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed secretly.

So far, he has not been able to fully grasp the essence of this lightning-proof restriction, but after a period of intensive study, he has gained a general understanding of some of the tricks and key points.

It turns out that this seemingly ordinary lightning-proof restriction is not just a simple formation, but contains deeper mysteries and secrets.

This lightning-proof restriction is actually a composite formation composed of several formations, and is a particularly powerful formation.

The only thing Wu Ming could understand was the formation that absorbed thunder. As for the other formations, Wu Ming was powerless.

After all, he didn't study formations specifically, and the only reason he could understand one of them was because he had some understanding of it when he was learning the Hundred Arts of Immortal Cultivation.

It seems that after this world ends and I return, I must take some time to study various formations.

Wu Ming did not require to be proficient in the art of formation, but at least he had to have some knowledge and be able to understand it with ease.

During the past ten days or so, the Bai Mansion has finally returned to its former peaceful and harmonious state.

The treasures that were previously stolen by thieves have now been successfully recovered, the follow-up matters caused by the fierce battle have also been dealt with, and the invading enemies have been completely eliminated.

However, it is somewhat regrettable that the leader of the mysterious men in black was ultimately not captured or killed.

According to Commander Zhou Ling's account after returning to Bai Mansion the next day, the man in black actually had accomplices secretly supporting him outside the city. Despite their best efforts to stop him, they ultimately fell short, and could only watch helplessly as the man in black took advantage of the chaos to escape and vanish.
