While the lot was laughing at Sean's comments, Barnabus suddenly opened his eyes wide, placed the disc on the table, and lightly tapped it with two fingers. In a flash, that once scruffy disc regained its glow. It was so shiny that one could see their reflection in it!
“Whoah!” Muffled exclamations reverberated. “You’re really something, Mr. Holt! That's what a mage, who has cultivated for tens of years, is capable of!"
Barnabus was satisfied with his performance. After that, a flick of ruby light exited his palm, and the disc instantly luminesced red. It looked like some magical item was about to be summoned into the room. Slowly, the whole room was encapsulated in red luster, and soon, everyone felt soothing energy flowing through their body.
The rejuvenating luster gradually dissipated in a matter of seconds, and the room was back to its original state. That Disc of Eight Trigrams too reduced to its rough-hewn condition with marks of age.
“Mr. Holt, have you figured out what this disc can do?” Sean was hoping for something explosive.
Barnabus nodded. “This talisman is indeed extraordinaire as it entraps the holy energy. If I'm not wrong, it's a relic of the immortals!”
The greed in everyone's eyes was plain to see after Barnabus declared the disc's stature. Sean's avidity was equally strong as his peers.
The joy Galen experienced when he saw such rapacity was indescribable. That disc could really fetch a handsome payment if he auctioned it now!
“Hey, kid. It's your turn to unearth the history of this disc. After you're done with that, shall we let Mr. Yonce from Zaprington be the judge of this match and decide who's right on the mark?” Sean shouted out to Jared.
All present shifted their eyes to Jared, eager to know how he was going to activate the arcane array.
