Chapter 259 - 138: A New Cage, Waiting for a Buyer?_1
```
"Uh?"
"Has the formation been activated?"
```
In a mysterious courtyard of the Luo Family Ancestral Land.
Sitting in the Stone Pavilion, Luo Changfeng suddenly narrowed his eyes.
He silently lowered his head.
Looking towards the space beneath the ground, where the Initial Ghost was held captive.
He could feel that the thousands of formations he had accumulated over time had been quietly activated.
Those tens of thousands of talismans, posted deep underground at a hundred meters.
At this moment, they seemed to be trembling slightly.
"Has it escaped?"
After contemplating for a moment, Luo Changfeng finished the steaming cup of tea in his hands.
Then, he suddenly disappeared from the spot.
As time passed and his understanding of formations gradually increased.
He had also researched the setup of the Teleportation Array.
Of course, the teleportation arrays that could be publicly disclosed in the basics of formation knowledge were naturally the worst kind.
The distance they could teleport was only about five hundred meters at most.
Moreover, the consumption of spirit stones was not a small amount.
However, for the current Luo Changfeng, it was temporarily sufficient.
...
A moment later, Luo Changfeng quickly arrived at the hundred-meter-deep underground space of the courtyard.
What could be seen was countless formations overlapped there, flickering with bursts of light.
The pile of spirit stones that he had left here, high as a small mountain.
They were now rapidly depleting.
Among the tens of thousands of talismans posted around, about five hundred had already floated into the void.
In this not-too-large space, they created a blood-red prison cage.
And that creature, all over red, looked bizarrely odd.
Its eyes wide open, the red pupils of the Initial Ghost were spinning rapidly.
At this time, it was struggling non-stop.
With its crimson, somewhat withered arms, it continuously slapped the blood-red prison cage that trapped it.
Inside its body was an extremely saturated crimson aura.
Even more, it possessed an extremely strong corrosive scent.
It was constantly surging towards the blood-red prison cage that held it captive.
[Sizzling...]
The sound echoed in this mysterious space.
And whenever the blood-red prison cage was corroded to a certain extent.
There would always be about ten or twenty to thirty Blood Prison Talismans floating in the void subsequently.
Continually reinforcing the blood-red prison cage, incessantly providing strength.
"That crimson aura, it actually has corrosive properties?"
After observing for a while, Luo Changfeng couldn’t help but think silently in his heart.
Oh, no, what he should be contemplating now perhaps wasn’t this question.
He should properly consider why the creature referred to as the Initial Ghost by the Carefree Monk.
How, without eating or drinking, it could still survive to this day, and even managed to break out of the ten layers of prison cages crafted from compressed iron.
"Stop struggling..."
"That’s about enough..."
After muttering softly, Luo Changfeng silently walked forward.
He slowly raised his withered right hand, and a flash of blood-red aura faintly passed over his palm.
As the Qi-Blood Force in his body was gradually infused into his right arm.
Luo Changfeng exerted a little force and retracted his right arm a few inches back, then he threw a punch directly forward.
This punch, he did not hold back.
This punch, he definitely unleashed one hundred percent, even one hundred and twenty percent of his strength.
However... after being struck by this punch, the Initial Ghost.
Apart from falling backwards and showing a face filled with anger and unwillingness.
Luo Changfeng seemed unable to inflict any harm whatsoever.
But, this was also within his expectations.
"Since, this little thing has such high defensive capabilities, if I were to peel off its hide, wouldn’t it be possible to craft a high-grade Defensive Spiritual Weapon?"
Looking at the Initial Ghost before him.
A somewhat maleficent idea suddenly emerged in Luo Changfeng’s heart.
But only after a moment.
He silently shook his head.
The idea was a good one.
However, since he couldn’t even breach the Initial Ghost’s defense, how could he peel off a layer of its hide?
...
After knowing the Initial Ghost broke through the ten layers of prison cages crafted from solid iron.
What came next was simple.
He would temporarily lock all movements of the Initial Ghost with the Blood Prison Talismans.
After all, he had a large quantity of those talismans.
Even if he used only the Blood Prison Talismans, locking the Initial Ghost for a month or two probably wouldn’t be an issue.
Once he had completely locked the Initial Ghost with the Blood Prison Talismans.
He could then proceed with the crafting of a brand-new prison cage.
In principle, things like prison cages are best crafted using special and robust materials.
However, Luo Changfeng didn’t have any of those materials on hand.
Having no other choice, he could only opt to craft using the most common iron.
For Artifact Refiners, iron is the most common mineral.
This mineral is very ordinary.
It has never been given much attention by Artifact Refiners.
However, nothing is absolute; if the Artifact Refiners are willing to invest time and effort.
To continuously compress, compress, and compress the iron.
After one hundred, one thousand times of compression.
Even if the original iron is as ordinary as can be.
The resulting compressed iron’s solidity will still reach an extremely high level.
It’s just that this series of operations is troublesome and laborious.
Under normal circumstances, Artifact Refiners tend not to do so.
