Chapter 279

Although the initial modification goal was not high,

for Li Xiao it was still an enormous challenge!

The Formations alone involved were extraordinarily numerous,

and most of these Formations were not complicated,

but the scope they covered was messy and broad!

Therefore,

in order to better carry out the plan to modify the Ark Maxim,

Li Xiao had to start making the most of his time to study the *Heavenly Net Extraordinary Formation Atlas*!

While Li Xiao was concentrating on studying the *Heavenly Net Extraordinary Formation Atlas*,

time quietly slipped by…

Two days later,

the merchant ship finally arrived at Jiayadao.

Wei En and the rest of the merchant ship's crew would settle the accounts for this voyage's cargo here,

and load a new batch of goods,

before heading to the next destination!

After disembarking,

Li Xiao bade farewell to Wei En,

and headed straight for the small town on Jiayadao.

Before leaving,

Li Xiao specially gifted Wei En two kinds of talismans he had drawn himself.

Before obtaining the *Heavenly Net Extraordinary Formation Atlas*,

Li Xiao would, in his idle hours, study the *Basic Talisman Detailed Explanation*,

and over so many days,

without realizing it, he had also learned quite a few new talismans!

And the two kinds of talismans Li Xiao gifted Wei En

were precisely the basic talismans recorded in the *Basic Talisman Detailed Explanation*,

respectively the Divine Movement Talisman and the Diamond Talisman,

five of each!

The former could briefly enhance one's own speed,

the latter could resist a certain amount of damage,

and using the two together would let Wei En preserve his life to the greatest extent!

Li Xiao had made some small modifications to these talismans,

so that they could be used without spiritual energy to activate them!

But this modification was not permanent,

as time went by,

the spiritual energy Li Xiao had left on them to trigger the talismans would gradually dissipate,

and by then,

they could only be activated with spiritual energy!

Upon this vast sea,

to meet twice in succession

could be considered quite the stroke of fate,

so these talismans would serve as a small gift from Li Xiao to Wei En.
