Chapter 145: Identifying Instruments by Reading Books
After the war, Jiang Mo controlled the earth energy, causing the ground to collapse, revealing pits, burying the body parts and turning them into nutrients for the forest.

A group of disciples cleaned up the battlefield and took away any cold weapons and guns they could find.

The battle with the three assassination forces came to a temporary end. After Jiang Mo returned to the sect, he ordered his disciples to bathe and wash away the smoke and blood.

After two days of continuous fighting, even though they had won a great victory, those young disciples still showed a trace of fatigue on their faces. After receiving Jiang Mo's instructions, they dispersed.

The Qi diagram in the Sutra Repository is guarded by Si Chong and Cheng Zhen.

The next morning, Jiang Mo woke up beside a pond in the back mountain in brilliant light. After a night of meditation, his cultivation had improved subtly.

Five stone men were standing not far away waiting, their bodies covered with wounds. They had charged into battle last night and suffered all kinds of gunfire and hidden weapon attacks. The thick stone armor on their bodies had cracks in many places.

Jiang Mo waved his hand gently, controlling the stone man to walk towards him. His right hand was filled with rock-brown Qi, which stroked the cracks, repaired the body, and restored them to normal.

"It's time to go back."

Jiang Mo used his thoughts to drive these stone men to the martial arts training ground, while he himself returned to the Sutra Library and went straight to the second floor to look for books about magic weapons.

After a while, Jiang Mo found several dusty lists of magical instruments from various corners. He found a quiet window, moved in tables and chairs, boiled some tea, and compared the magical instruments he had confiscated last night.

"Thousand Ancient Records."

Jiang Mo flipped open the ancient book. There was no information about the author on it, but it recorded some common magical instruments from previous dynasties, covering schools from all over the world.

Ten magical instruments of different shapes were placed on the table. The first one that Jiang Mo picked up to identify was the one-eyed ox-head wooden sculpture. Its surface was intact without any obvious cracks. The protective purple light released by it, mixed with the power of lightning, was extremely powerful.

Even if Jiang Mo, who had triple reverse rebirth, shattered the purple light it constructed with one palm, the undeniable fact was that after it worked, the user was rescued intact. This level of defense would most likely not be able to be penetrated by gunfire.

Jiang Mo checked the contents of the book one by one, hearing the rustling sound of papers being turned. Due to its age, many of the ink paintings had faded and yellowed, making them difficult to identify.

After a long time, Jiang Mo found the answer on page 26.

"Kui Niu Shou, a low-level defensive magic weapon made in imitation of the description in the Shanhai Ancient Classic. The maker is unknown and the quantity is rare."

Just one sentence, unable to provide more information.

Helplessly, Jiang Mo gave up and searched for the next magic weapon.

"The Candle Shadow Eye is a magical weapon that came from Southern Border to the Middle Earth. The light stream it releases has a binding effect, which will continuously reduce the true Qi of the person it hits until he becomes paralyzed and unable to move. It is a low-level auxiliary magical weapon."

Based on the descriptions in ancient books, the author divided the magical instruments in the world into three types: upper, middle and lower. There are 834 lower-level magical instruments, 146 middle-level magical instruments and 20 upper-level magical instruments recorded in the ancient books.

Jiang Mo continued to read.

"The Soul Refining Bell was made by an evil cultivator from the Western Regions. It specializes in souls and spirits. Its devilish sound is deafening. Those who are killed will turn into wronged souls and accumulate in the bell. As the number of souls increases, its power continues to increase. It is a low-level offensive magic weapon."

There were ten magical weapons in total, and Jiang Mo spent nearly half an hour to investigate them clearly. Unfortunately, they were all low-level magical weapons.

In addition, thanks to the help of ancient books, the origin of the bone sword obtained when he returned from his travels and went down the mountain to fight demons for the first time was also investigated. It was named "Qian Gu". Due to the cruel refining method, it created terrible power and was classified as a mid-level offensive magic weapon.

Since being brought back, Jiang Mo has kept it sealed and locked underground, treating it as an ominous weapon.

"Da da da"

Just as Jiang Mo picked up the second ancient book about magical instruments to read, there was a noise and hurried footsteps at the stairs.

"Brother, are you sure you can find it?" This was Lu Jin's voice. "I'm sure I remember it correctly. I think I took a look at the corner on the south side before."

Zhuge Yu had not slept all night and was very energetic. He had repaired two magical instruments that he was familiar with, but he was not familiar with the rest, so he went into the cabinet to look for ancient books.

After a while, they met Jiang Mo and asked in surprise: "Hey, Uncle Master, are you here too? Good morning."

"morning."

Jiang Mo took a sip of tea and looked at the two little guys with interest. They seemed to be in a good mood.

"Xiao Zhuge, what are you and Jin'er doing here?"

"Hey, to be honest, I found some broken magic tools yesterday. I repaired two of them, and there are some I don't recognize. I was just about to come over to look for some books on magic tools."

Zhuge Yu told them the purpose of their visit, and Jiang Mo waved at them: "Come over, the book is here."

Lu Jin and Zhuge Yu noticed the strange-looking objects on the table and were a little stunned. They asked in astonishment:

"Uncle Master, are these also magical weapons?!"

"Yes, I looted them from Wan Nian Shou last night. When I did it, I was cautious and did not destroy them. I came here this morning to search for ancient books and sort out the relevant information. I plan to give them all to you little ones."

Jiang Mo smiled lightly, patted the cushion beside him, and motioned for the two to sit down.

"Come on, Jin'er, little Zhuge, now is the day. Since you have seen it in advance, why not choose one?"

"Disciple thanks Uncle Master."

Zhuge Yu and Lu Jin were flattered and sat down quickly, staring curiously at the magical instruments on the table. They wanted to touch them, but were cautious and reserved.

"I won't go into detail with you guys, there's a logo page I made above."

Jiang Mo handed them the "Thousand Ancient Records" and said:

"These magical instruments are all recorded. I will take away the Soul Refining Bell. As for the rest, Jin'er, you and Little Zhuge can choose whatever you like."

"My fellow disciples, please do not disturb them for now. The magic weapons I have prepared for them may not be enough even if they are added together."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Yu's face showed joy. This was the problem he had been worried about earlier, and now it had been solved.

"Uncle Master, it's okay. I still have five magic weapons here. Two have been repaired so far, and there are three more to be repaired. Together with your nine, one is enough for my fellow brothers and sisters to share."

"Oh? You're still so awesome?"

Jiang Mo rubbed Zhuge Yu's head, feeling proud of his talent in refining equipment and pleased with his generosity.

Everyone knows how precious the magic weapons are. Those repaired magic weapons should belong to Zhuge Yu. Even if he keeps them for his own use, Jiang Mo would acquiesce. However, he is willing to share them with his fellow disciples. It is not difficult to prove the deep friendship between the younger generation of disciples.

The sect is harmonious and as close as brothers. This is what Jiang Mo hopes to see. Relying on these little guys to revitalize the sect, there is no need to worry about not accomplishing great things.
"In that case, the distribution of the magic weapons will be left to you and Jin'er to arrange. You must discuss it carefully with your fellow brothers and sisters."

Jiang Mo stood up, took the Soul Refining Bell away, and said, "I have other things to do, you guys should check the ancient books first."

"Uncle-master, take care." Zhuge Yu and Lu Jin politely saw him off.
