Looking at the ancient mirror on the ground, harmless to humans and animals, Chen Yunhao suddenly felt a bit timid.
He didn't dare to reach out and pick it up, but after repeated hesitation, he steeled his heart.
“I'll risk it….”
How could he fully grasp the ancient mirror without understanding it? Fortune favors the bold!
Chen Yunhao grabbed it from the air, once again holding the ancient mirror in his hand. At this moment, all the True Qi in his body was sealed within his Dantian, not daring to let out a single bit.
As long as he didn't actively output the True Qi in his body, this ancient mirror wouldn't make the slightest movement.
Chen Yunhao finally relaxed. It was just that his cultivation and knowledge were too limited, and he still couldn't figure out what kind of treasure this was.
“If it really doesn’t work, should I ask Master to take a look?”
Chen Yunhao pondered. After all, Drunken Taoist was at the Foundation Establishment Stage of cultivation and over a hundred years old; he must be more experienced than him!
As Chen Yunhao pondered, he inadvertently rotated the ancient mirror in his hand, letting the mirror surface face the ground.
At this moment, Chen Yunhao was sitting cross-legged on a futon. On the ground in front of him, besides the gathering spirit pearl he had casually placed, there was only his Storage Pouch.
Suddenly, a burst of light appeared on the mirror surface of the ancient mirror, like moonlight, hazy and not dazzling.
This faint glow directly shone onto the gathering spirit pearl.
This sudden scene startled Chen Yunhao again, almost causing him to throw the ancient mirror in his hand away.
This burst of light came and went quickly, disappearing in less than half a breath.
And after the light, there was actually an additional gathering spirit pearl on the ground.
Chen Yunhao widened his eyes. Was it an illusion?
He blinked hard, then rubbed his eyes. No, there were now two identical gathering spirit pearls on the ground.
He put down the ancient mirror in his hand, picked up one gathering spirit pearl with each hand, and they were indeed solid objects, not illusions.
Because the gathering spirit pearl had been continuously gathering the surrounding Spiritual Qi, this could not be faked.
In fact, the two gathering spirit pearls looked exactly alike; he couldn't even tell which one he had originally brought back.
He looked at the gathering spirit pearl in his hand, then at the ancient mirror resting quietly on the ground.
At this moment, the expression on Chen Yunhao's face was extremely rich.
He wanted to laugh out loud wildly, but he didn't dare to make a sound.
Although it was his cultivation place, there was no Restriction set up, so it couldn't block sound.
This also made his facial expression look very strange. He forcibly suppressed his excited laughter, his mouth twitching continuously.
“Copy… this treasure can actually copy Magical Artifacts!!”
Although Chen Yunhao was very excited, a huge wave surged in his heart.
What a Heaven-Defying ability this was. He had heard of creating something from nothing, but for Cultivators like them, those were just mythical stories.
But now, this unassuming ancient mirror had truly overturned his understanding.
This was definitely a Heaven-Defying treasure. Although his own cultivation was very low and his knowledge limited, he understood basic common sense.
Such a Heaven-Defying treasure should not be widely publicized, which was why he was enduring his laughter, enduring it so hard.
After a long while, Chen Yunhao finally calmed down, but the smile on his lips never disappeared.
Since he learned about the incident at home, a smile had rarely appeared on his face.
He picked up the ancient mirror again and aimed its surface back at the gathering spirit pearl.
“No reaction. Can it only copy once?”
Chen Yunhao tried again, but the ancient mirror still didn't react.
If the gathering spirit pearl didn't work, he would try the Storage Pouch. He aimed the ancient mirror at the Storage Pouch next to him, but there was still no movement.
Chen Yunhao carefully thought about the entire process and understood where the key was.
Copying must consume energy, and the ancient mirror had absorbed nearly two-thirds of the True Qi in his body. This was the key.
Chen Yunhao wanted to try again now, but unfortunately, most of the True Qi in his body had disappeared, and he didn't dare to act rashly anymore.
Seeing that it was almost dawn, Chen Yunhao carefully put away the ancient mirror, the gathering spirit pearl, and the scattered Storage Pouch.
As the saying goes, wealth stirs the heart. Although Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers of the same School usually cared for each other, if they encountered such a Heaven-Defying treasure, the consequences would be unpredictable.
From this moment on, Chen Yunhao would keep this matter to himself and would never reveal the ancient mirror in front of others.
He took out two Low-Grade Spirit Stones, held one in each hand, and began to meditate and Cultivate, recovering the True Qi in his body.
If it were in the past, Chen Yunhao would definitely not have been willing to do this.
But he was eager to recover his True Qi to conduct another experiment with the ancient mirror, so he didn't bother to be stingy.
“Fourth Junior Brother, you're back without even a greeting….”
A familiar shout came from outside the door, it was Chen Yunhao’s Third Senior Brother, Duan Renjie.
Duan Renjie had just finished a night of cultivation when he sensed a familiar aura in the adjacent courtyard.
The Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers had a very good relationship, so they usually didn't set up Restrictions between their courtyards. For Cultivators at the Qi Refinement Stage, the walls were just for show.
Helplessly, Chen Yunhao had to interrupt his cultivation. The True Qi in his body had only recovered by two or three tenths.
Before Chen Yunhao could open the door to greet him, Duan Renjie had already pushed the door open and entered.
“Third Senior Brother….”
“Why is your True Qi so depleted?”
Duan Renjie's face immediately darkened. This was his Junior Brother's first time leaving the School, he hoped he hadn't suffered any losses.
Chen Yunhao knew that Duan Renjie genuinely cared about him, so he smiled and shook his head.
“I encountered a Loose Cultivator, we had a fight, and he's been eliminated.”
Chen Yunhao dared not say much about the true reason, not even to his Senior Brother.
Upon hearing this, Duan Renjie's face finally showed a smile. If his Junior Brother had indeed suffered a loss, he would have prepared to get even.
“Where’s Master? I'll go pay my respects to Master.”
“Master and First Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother went to the market in Yunhua Prefecture. They’ll be back in a couple of days.”
Duan Renjie said with some regret.
Because his cultivation had not yet broken through to Foundation Establishment, he was never included when they went to other prefectures.
Although Tianzhen Sect was relatively conservative, its Disciples still needed to survive and Cultivate.
So, every so often, Drunken Taoist would take the Spirit Pills refined and Spirit Wine brewed by the School to the market to exchange them for various cultivation resources.
Taihua Prefecture also had markets, but they were all small-scale, mainly because things couldn't sell for a good price.
Yunhua Prefecture bordered Taihua Prefecture, but the Cultivation World there was much more prosperous, with abundant resources, and of course, higher selling prices.
So, every so often, Tianzhen Sect would send someone to Yunhua Prefecture to sell a batch of goods, usually led by Drunken Taoist.
The two brothers chatted for a few more minutes, then Duan Renjie left, and Chen Yunhao continued his recovery cultivation.
When the two Low-Grade Spirit Stones were consumed, his True Qi was also seventy to eighty percent replenished.
