Chapter 2729: Jade Tablet Research

Having determined the current radiation range of the Three Lights Divine Water leaking from the Elemental Fountain, Xia Duo also realized that choosing to refine the Dark Treasure Mirror here at the Elemental Fountain yesterday was somewhat rash.

Although it was highly probable that the Three Lights Divine Water would not have any adverse effects, such a large-scale leak was still inappropriate; at the very least, if others noticed it, there might be trouble.

However, he did not do anything about it, merely preparing to choose a different place when refining the treasure mirror in the evening.

At the same time, he turned his gaze toward Yatewude at his side. By now, the other party had finished inspecting the Golden Scale Salmon in his hand, so Xia Duo asked:

"Elder Yatewude, can this fish be safely consumed?"

Hearing Xia Duo's inquiry, Yatewude hesitated, wanting to speak but stopping, before finally saying, "Lord Territory Lord, what exactly is going on with this fish? Consuming them is completely harmless to the human body; on the contrary, it can strengthen one's physique and even extend one's lifespan."

He had already stayed in Daxia Territory for several years, and he knew better than anyone what kind of fish were in the vicinity of the territory and how those fish tasted; the current situation was clearly abnormal.

Yet, generally speaking, when abnormal things happen, they tend to lean toward the bad side, but now this fish had been mysteriously contaminated and had actually turned into a treasure!

This left Yatewude very puzzled.

"Didn't I tell you before? It's the residue from an accidental experiment, but I can roughly judge the impact, otherwise I would have let Laidun stop the territory residents from catching fish long ago."

Xia Duo then told Yatewude, "It concerns an experiment with an Eastern Magic Artifact. The progress is limited for now. I will explain it to you in detail after some time, and by then, I may need you to participate in the research together."

Arriving near Hengchun Square, on the terrace he had visited during the day, the Dark Treasure Mirror sat quietly, but droplets of liquid had appeared on the surface of the flat mirror.

After setting the research direction, Xia Duo buckled down to experiment. Time passed quickly until dusk. In the time that day, Xia Duo's gains were limited, but through the experiments already conducted, one point had been confirmed, and that is—

Now, the Jade Tablet had been refined, making it a good time to study the Order Force. Yesterday, due to mental exhaustion from multiple refinements, he had not continued, but today, having rested well, it was just right to continue the previous research.

The levitation of the Jade Tablet might not be caused by the Levitation Spell he was familiar with, but for such a phenomenon to occur, it must conform to some specific law in reality.

And this law would not conflict with the part of the laws he already knew!

……

Under the condition of isolating the Magic Net, it might expose more of the internal operating mechanisms of the Order Force.

In essence, Xia Duo wanted to indirectly peek into the mysteries of the Order Force through the Magic Net, which was a definite tool or perspective.

Since the conversion of the Divine Water required a short amount of time, Xia Duo did not wait there the whole time, but instead left the treasure mirror on the terrace after setting up a Protective Spell.

……

And this was merely one entry point for Xia Duo's research; any anomaly related to the Jade Tablet could become an entry point, such as one of the functions of the Jade Tablet itself—【Protective Spiritual Light】.

Since there were inspections and tests in the Magic Net environment, there must, of course, also be tests in a non-Magic Net environment.

The first thing he conducted was, without a doubt, experiments related to the Jade Tablet in the Magic Net environment, including those mentioned earlier: the status check of the Jade Tablet itself, the influence of the levitation state on the Magic Net, the interaction between the Protective Spiritual Light and the Magic Net, and so on.

Xia Duo guessed that for the Order Force to interfere with reality, it must interact with the Magic Net, but the Order Force was essentially not the Magic Net or a power related to the Magic Net, but a brand-new power.

Studying the effects and formation mechanisms of this Protective Spell and deducing its possible Principles, although involving the unknown Order Force, its manifestation must be related to the Magic Net that Xia Duo was more familiar with, otherwise it would be unable to protect against attacks related to the Magic Net.

If someone else were to look at it, they might think it was just a bit of rainwater that had fallen onto the mirror surface from the sky, rather than the Sunlight Divine Water that possessed miraculous effects.

……

"What kind of experiment is it exactly?" Yatewude continued to press.

Unlike the Divine Water Pearl produced when refining the treasure mirror yesterday evening, the Sunlight Divine Water produced here did not appear in a spherical form; it was just a pool of liquid less than 10 milliliters.

Having confirmed that the school of fish affected by the Three Lights Divine Water could be consumed, Xia Duo left with peace of mind. Before leaving, he instructed Jibu to maintain order at the scene and to notify him immediately when the school of fish no longer gathered.

Or rather, the Magic Net itself was one of the original rules of this world and an important component of this world; for the Jade Tablet to take effect in this world, it must necessarily have a connection with the Magic Net.

His line of thinking was correct; the rest was just a matter of time!

When walking out of the Laboratory, although Xia Duo felt somewhat tired physically and mentally, he felt exceptionally comfortable psychologically.

In other words, Xia Duo could infer the possible levitation mechanism of the Jade Tablet by conducting an in-depth investigation into the phenomenon of the Jade Tablet's levitation, combined with the known parts of the levitation mechanism.

Returning to the Floating City, Xia Duo found a terrace near Hengchun Square and placed the Dark Treasure Mirror on it. Although the daytime did not meet the conditions for refining, it did not hinder him from using the treasure mirror to convert Sunlight Divine Water.

This was somewhat beyond Xia Duo's expectations. He had not thought that Yatewude would be so interested in the Three Lights Divine Water; perhaps it was out of a Druid's professional sensitivity, or perhaps it was an instinct derived from life, just like the school of fish in the water.

……

……

Inside the Laboratory, Xia Duo let the Jade Tablet hover in front of him. Although it was a brand-new Domain he had not come into contact with before, the basic laws of the world's operation were consistent.

Xia Duo was very much looking forward to the application prospects of the Three Lights Divine Water. Although these Divine Waters were of no use to him at the moment, it might not be the case in the future. Expanding related research would always yield results.

But from the perspective of Magic Vision, the spiritual light was so faint that it was almost drowned out by the Magic Web Background Fluctuation, which was very different from the bead-shaped Divine Water seen last night.

Next, Xia Duo decided to proceed in two steps. Of course, since there was only one Jade Tablet, in actual execution, it was sequential rather than simultaneous.

As for the Three Lights Divine Water, at the very least, it could be used to attract schools of fish. But even the three separate Divine Waters possessed magical effects. If the essence of these few types of Divine Waters could be thoroughly researched, perhaps they could be manufactured without using the Dark Treasure Mirror.

Specifically, it was to conduct more detailed inspections of the Jade Tablet itself on one hand, while recording the interaction process between the Jade Tablet and the Magic Net to find possible laws within it.

This was a pale golden liquid, which seemed to emit a faint light.

Next, Xia Duo used a reagent bottle to collect this liquid, which was less than ten milliliters. The Sunlight Divine Water in the bottle no longer had the reflection of the mirror and presented its original color.

Having just seen part of the effects of the complete version of the Three Lights Divine Water, he now also had some interest in the separated Three Lights Divine Water. He would convert some out to see if the three types of Divine Water could be directly synthesized into complete Three Lights Divine Water when combined.
