Chapter 80 Seven-Star Peach Wood Sword, Bloodlight Talisman
"Faucet?"

Chen Miao's first reaction was that this was definitely not the faucet he was thinking of; it must be some powerful thing that just happened to have this name.

But when he clicked on it and saw the accompanying photos, he fell silent.

This really is a water tap!

It's a faucet installed on a water pipe, with a cross-shaped knob on it, and is silver-gray in color with some rust spots.

"What...is this thing for?"

Chen Miao continued reading.

[Filthy Item No. 41501 - Faucet]: A faucet that doesn't need to be connected to a water pipe; as long as the surrounding yin energy concentration reaches a certain level, it can be turned on at any time to provide water. (Note 1: Do not use it where there is water. Note 2: Do not drink water directly from the faucet.)

Upon seeing the explanation of the faucet, Chen Miao immediately looked at Chen Guokun.

"Brother Kun, does such a thing really exist?"

Chen Guokun glanced at the faucet Chen Miao was looking at and nodded with a smile.

"some."

"The filth is very special, with all sorts of strange abilities. Some are harmless, while others are extremely harmful. This faucet is the harmless kind."

"However, because of its ability to produce water whenever there is yin energy, it has never been idle."

"It is said that it was rented by a Class B investigator from an arid region in western Daxia, and then it was occupied for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Chen Miao suddenly had a vision.

In a place where people toil under the scorching sun, a man suddenly pulled a faucet from his bag, stuck it into a nearby earthen wall, turned it on, and took a cold shower.

Just thinking about it makes me feel good.

However, is there also an yin energy in that place?
Chen Miao shook his head and continued looking down.

There are many similar filth.

……

Chen Miao, who was engrossed in reading, suddenly spotted something truly useful among a pile of strange and unusual things.

"Can it directly harm ghosts without any enhancement?"

Chen Miao asked.

Chen Guokun nodded and said, "I've heard about this from a friend in the bureau. It's not only useful, but also quite powerful."

Chen Guokun thought for a moment and then came up with an analogy.

"Someone as sneaky as Yue Na could be killed with a single stab, losing half of her body."

"It's gone, not cut in half."

Chen Miao was startled.

Wouldn't that be even more awesome than a century-old peach wood sword blank?
"By the way, Brother Kun, is the 'note' after these filth taboos?"

"Sort of, but more of a reminder."

"The truly forbidden things are not things I can see."

"Apart from that knife, the contents of the other 'notes,' even if violated, are not a big deal; at most, the filth will be ineffective for a period of time."

Chen Guokun added, "If you hear the pig's screams, it means the knife is excited."

"If you don't sheathe the knife and reset its excitement level, you'll get excited along with the knife, and nobody knows what you'll do then." "However, you can just look at this filth, because you're not an investigator, and even if you have points, I can't lend it out to you."

Chen Miao was taken aback, feeling a little regretful.

If he could, he really wanted to borrow one to see if the ritual would be effective.

Exiting the filth interface, Chen Miao continued browsing.

It has to be said that the Administration Bureau has a lot of things. Even though Chen Guokun only has the authority of a Level D investigator, he can still exchange for quite a few things.

With the thought that he should know even if he couldn't have it, Chen Miao watched for a full half hour.

"Did you see anything you liked?"

Chen Guokun saw Chen Miao hand over his phone and asked.

"I've chosen two."

Chen Miao nodded.

"Brother Kun, please help me exchange for the crafting recipe for the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword, and also exchange for three Bloodlight Talismans. Exchange the remaining points for money."

The crafting recipe for the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword requires 15 points, and a Bloodlight Talisman costs 2 points, totaling 21 points. There is still 1 point left to exchange for 10,000 yuan.

The Seven Star Peach Wood Sword, once crafted, provides a bonus to damage against ghosts and evil spirits.

However, the minimum requirement is 30-year-old peach wood, with no upper limit.

What Chen Miao exchanged was just the recipe; he would have to buy the materials needed to make it himself.

The points shop sells materials, but Chen Miao doesn't want to buy them.

Because he had everything he needed, just the set for drawing talismans, except for a piece of black dog blood.

Heizi, the dog at the East Gate guard post, is a purebred black dog. I should be able to borrow some from its owner later.

As for the Bloodlight Talisman, it is a talisman used in conjunction with the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword.

There are no other effects except that after activation, it can cover the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword with a layer of blood light.

The blood-red light will activate the seven vermilion stars on the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword, enhancing its power.

If you don't need the Blood Talisman, you can simply bite your finger and smear the blood on the sword; it will have the same effect.

Chen Miao originally wanted to buy the crafting method for the Bloodlight Talisman, but compared to the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword, the crafting method for the Bloodlight Talisman required a lot more points, a full 30 points!

Of course, Chen Miao was only comparing it with the method of making the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword.

To be honest, buying the crafting recipe for a Bloodlight Talisman for 30 points is definitely not expensive, and it's even a bit cheap.

After all, once you learn how to make Bloodlight Talismans, the number of Bloodlight Talismans you save won't be small.

Unfortunately, Chen Miao didn't have enough points, and he didn't want to wait until next time.

According to Chen Guokun, a typical task can earn only 5 to 10 points, and if it is divided among several people, the points will be even less.

Of course, it's mainly about ordinary tasks. Does Chen Guokun need Chen Miao?

It's not an ordinary task, and it's not something you'd encounter so easily.

Therefore, Chen Miao's decision was to directly convert his points into cash and improve his strength.

Upon hearing Chen Miao's decision, Chen Guokun didn't say anything and simply placed an order on his phone.

"I estimate these things will be in my hands within three to five days, and then I will hand them over to you."

"However, since I'm exchanging these items on your behalf, I don't actually own them. So you'll have to go with me to get them verified and have the exchange recorded so there won't be any major problems later."

Chen Miao has no objection.

"Okay, I'll be going now. Contact me if you need anything."

Chen Miao drove Chen Guokun to the East Gate parking lot. After Chen Guokun got into the car, Chen Miao seemed to remember something.

"Brother Kun, what is Yue Na's true form?"

Chen Guokun started the car and said to Chen Miao, "A letter, a thank-you letter written to her by all the children in the orphanage after her death."

Watching Chen Guokun leave, Chen Miao shook his head.

He turned and headed towards the cafeteria.

As Chen Miao passed by the guard post at the East Gate, he glanced at it subconsciously.

It wasn't time for the night shift handover yet, so Heizi wasn't there.

"How should I ask Qi Hui to let me bleed some of Hei Zi's blood?"
