Wang Xiong looked at the finger sized jade and assessed it. His spirit sense probed it and could feel that there were no formations within it.
"Huh… this is interesting… it's just a material with no formations in it." Wang Xiong spoke.
"They called this an Agitation jade in the letter, wonder what it exactly does." Ye Jin said.
"The words in the letter explain that too… it is used to agitate the beasts." Wang Xiong spoke.
"Like the beast inciting power?" Ye Jin asked in surprise.
They had used the beast inciting power before, even though it was illegal and knew of its effects. Beasts would go crazy and attack anything in their sight if they were angry enough.
"Can't really tell. But if the attack of the beast is considered anything, it is likely that it has a similar effect. Though… the thing that bugs me is the fact that this is just one of the seven agitation jades.
I reckon the others must be hidden somewhere in the mind." Wang Xiong said.
Hearing this, Ye Jin's eyes lit up.
"THAT'S IT! That's the reason for the beast attacking everyone. No wonder we weren't able to find the cause for it." Ye Jin spoke.
"Indeed. Though what beast it is even that can do something like this?" Wang Xiong questioned.
"From the reports, it is a quadrupedal beast and has dark fur on its body. It is good at digging through rock as well." Ye Jing answered.
"Hmm… a beast like that must have come from somewhere. Or perhaps it was always living there… just somewhere hidden." Wang Xiong added.
"That… could be possible. Some of the minors did report finding some random tunnels, but they were unable to determine if they were natural ones or not. This beast could have been the reason behind it.
Plus if the Agitation jade is what caused this attack, then the beast must have been pulled out due to its effects." Ye Jin spoke in a tired tone.
"Ask the disciples to look for the other agitation jades. Perhaps once they are gone, the beast should leave on its own. And if it does not, we may as well take care of it directly." Wang Xiong stated.
"Alright, I'll do it." Ye Jin spoke.
She was just about to leave when Wang Xiong spoke, "oh and Ye Jin…"
"Yes?" She turned her neck.
"Be careful… we are in a sensitive transition period. Who knows what can happen." Wang Xiong said with concern.
Ye Jin felt touched by the attitude of Wang Xiong and a smile appeared on her face again.
"I'll be careful." She said before finally leaving.
Once she was gone though, Wang Xiong narrowed his eyes and looked at the agitation jade.
"Time to talk with master…" Wang Xiong muttered before he took out a communication slip.
The jade slip was different from others in that it looked more like an emerald rather than just normal jade. This was of course, the one that Lin Wu had giving Wang Xiong a long time ago.
Lin Wu had told him that he could contact him whenever he came across something that he could not deal with, and this situation was the perfect example of that. Wang Xiong didn't know what an agitation jade could truly do and it was best to contact a more informed person.
But then…
"Huh? Why is he not responding?" Wang Xiong said in a confused tone.
No matter how much he tried the jade slip, it simply did not work.
"No, wait! What's this?" Wang Xiong suddenly realized that there was actually a message within the jade slip.
"Was there here before?" Wang Xiong wondered.
He accessed it using his spirit sense and heard the message within.
"If you are seeing this, then I am currently in seclusion and cannot be disturbed. I also know that you must have contacted me in case of an emergency. Thus for that, I have some options that you can choose in my absence.
Option 1: If you are in immediate danger and are at the risk of death, tap your forehead and call out 'Save me, senior!'
Option 2: If you are not in immediate danger but maybe in soon, I advise you to come to the Millennium forest and hide within the tomb. It will recognize you all provide you shelter. You may bring 10 more people with you.
Option 3: If you are desiring to ask a certain question, please limit it to three a week. There is no guarantee the question will be answered though, so be warned."
Seeing this, Wang Xiong was definitely stunned.
"Senior entered seclusion? Huh… well, it does make sense if he wants to recover his cultivation base. Though these options are certainly well thought out. Senior really kept me in mind when going into seclusion." Wang Xiong said, feeling pleased.
'Hmm, I'm supposed to ask it the question just like I do I guess?' Wang Xiong wondered.
After thinking for a bit, he tried a few methods of framing the question, making sure that he got the best one. Even though he only had three attempts at asking it every week, he wanted to be a proper one as he didn't want to waste a chance.
"This should be good enough…" Wang Xiong said before taking a deep breath.
"What is agitation jade and what are its effects?" Wang Xiong questioned in a rather simple manner.
As soon as he said it, the jade slip hummed, and he felt a drain on his spirit Qi.
"Oh?" He was rather surprised by it, but let it absorb the spirit Qi, understanding that there must be some price to pay for the transmission.
Though he ended up underestimating the amount of spirit Qi needed by the jade slip.
~drip~
"Damn… didn't expect it to suck me dry." Wang Xiong said in disbelief.
All of the spirit Qi he had recovered in the past few minutes had been absorbed by the jade slip.
