He held a heavy ancient book high in the air.
The other ninjas received the signal instantly.
They ceased fighting, their bodies transforming into pools of ink-like shadows, silently merging into the darkness of the ground and disappearing without a trace.
All that remained was a mess in the room and Tru, pinned to the ground, unable to move.
Tru shook his heavy head and got up from the ground.
"What exactly is going on?"
Jackie Chan looked at everything before him, his face extremely grim.
"It seems Sheriff Black was right, our house was indeed broken into."
Xiaoyu's gaze fell on the empty bookshelf.
"Dad, it looks like they took a book. What book was it?"
The old man looked at the dilapidated study and spread his hands.
"How would I know? We'll have to count them first!"
Fish canning plant.
A black shadow slowly rose from the ground, twisting and elongating.
He eventually transformed into a ninja kneeling on one knee.
He raised his hands high and respectfully presented a thick and ancient book.
The book cover bears a grotesque ghost mask logo.
The Holy Lord's soul appeared out of thin air, and his scarlet eyes were filled with undisguised ecstasy.
"Yes, this is it, my complete magic encyclopedia."
He immediately directed the Shadow Ninja to turn the pages of the book.
After all, he is currently only in a soul state and cannot touch a physical body.
Crash, crash.
The ninja's cold fingers rapidly turned the yellowed pages, while the Holy Lord's translucent eyes swept quickly over the ancient text.
When he turned to a certain page, his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Stop, I found it, boss."
A slight smile appeared on Lin Ci's lips.
"Great, then let's use it!"
The Holy Lord's voice carried a hint of difficulty.
"Boss, we need some more materials."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the ghostly ninjas in the room turned into shadows again and disappeared into the darkness.
The ninjas returned one after another, bringing back all sorts of strange and unusual things.
Lin Ci's gaze swept over the bottles and jars, finally settling on a brownish-red object held by one of the ninjas.
His brows furrowed unconsciously.
"Wait, what is that?"
A barely perceptible hint of embarrassment appeared on the Holy Lord's semi-transparent face.
"Boss, that's... elephant dung."
Lin Ci felt a churning in his stomach and almost vomited on the spot.
"You mean, this is also something needed to make spells?"
The Holy Lord's voice also sounded somewhat lacking in confidence.
"Yes... Boss."
Lin Ci felt that his understanding of magic had been completely overturned at this moment.
"I'm starting to think I don't want it anymore."
The Holy Lord quickly explained.
"Once it's made into a spell, it'll be fine. Don't worry about the details, boss."
Lin Ci waved his hand, turned around, and decided to avoid seeing it altogether.
A pot of magical solution emitting an eerie green glow has been prepared.
The taste is beyond words.
Lin Ci looked at the pot of bubbling green liquid and asked warily.
"You don't expect me to drink it, do you?"
The Holy Lord answered immediately.
"Of course not, these are smeared on the talismans."
After saying that, he directed the ninja soldiers to carefully and evenly spread the viscous green solution onto the twelve talismans.
The moment the talisman was applied, the originally rustic stone surface suddenly lit up with a layer of fluorescent green.
Then, the Holy Lord began to chant.
An ancient and mysterious incantation flowed from his mouth, each syllable seemingly carrying power from antiquity.
The twelve talismans on the table then slowly floated up.
They began to rotate slowly around Lin Ci.
As the Holy Lord's incantation continued, the speed of the rotation increased.
Finally, the dragon talisman transformed into a crimson stream of light, rushing towards Lin Ci's chest and instantly merging into his body.
A scorching power exploded throughout his body.
Following that, pig talismans, sheep talismans...
Lin Ci could clearly feel that his power was increasing at an incredible speed.
However, as more and more talismans merged into his body, an indescribable feeling of expansion emanated from within him.
His skin began to burn, and his muscles swelled uncontrollably, like a balloon being inflated.
It's about to explode because it can't withstand this enormous force.
At this critical moment.
The last Tiger Talisman transformed into a black and white beam of light and merged into Lin Ci's body.
The violent, almost out-of-control power within Lin Ci's body instantly became docile, like a wild horse that had been tamed.
All discomfort vanished.
The Tiger Talisman symbolizes the balance of Yin and Yang.
It perfectly harmonized those twelve distinct, even conflicting, forces.
Taken alone, it might not be the strongest.
But when combined with the other eleven talismans, it becomes indispensable, even the most essential part.
Lin Ci slowly opened his eyes.
He could feel as if a vast starry sea was contained within his body.
He clenched his fist slightly.
That was no longer just muscle strength, but a terrifying energy capable of igniting mountains and drying up rivers.
Now, everything is under his control.
Lin Ci's lips slowly curved upwards, revealing an extremely satisfied smile.
"I have everything I need now!"
Chapter 22 Damn it, Gan, you're a genius!
Looking at the incredibly satisfied smile on Lin Ci's face, the last trace of resentment in the Holy Lord's heart completely vanished.
His semi-transparent soul bowed respectfully to Lin Ci once again.
“Boss, I also found a spell that can integrate the magic of the Eye of Aurora into your body.”
"This way, you can mobilize the power to travel through space at any time."
These words made Lin Ci's smile deepen.
"Is this okay?"
The Holy Lord nodded affirmatively.
"Yes, boss, I've already prepared the spell. You can cast it now whenever you need it."
Lin Ci did not hesitate at all.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's use it now!"
Having received permission, the ancient and mysterious incantation once again rang from the Holy Lord's lips.
The gold necklace placed on the table slowly floated into the air.
Eye of Aurora.
The necklace itself began to emit an increasingly dazzling golden light.
A golden sphere composed entirely of light slowly peeled away from the necklace.
The next second, the ball of light transformed into a stream of light and instantly disappeared into Lin Ci's brow.
An unprecedented feeling welled up inside me.
He seemed to be able to touch the folds of space and perceive the true form of every inch of distance.
