Chapter 723

723 The mirror and the bug

“This should be fine, Yingluo.”

Xia Pingan looked at the temporary closed-door cultivation place that he had built in the underground cave with satisfaction and clapped his hands in satisfaction.

It was a natural spindle-shaped small underground karst cave, covering over 200 square meters in total. The entrance of the karst cave was only a bit higher than 2 m. It was under an underground river. Outside the cave was a rapid underground river. Xia Pingan had just melted some stalactites in the karst cave and made them into a stone bed for meditation. After that, he threw out a night-luminescent Pearl. A dust-repelling bead, a water-repelling bead, and a sun gem were inlaid on one side of the cave and the rock wall of the entrance, making the whole cave look a bit like a wild cave mansion.

The light of night-luminescent pearls could make half of the mountain cave less gloomy; the dust-repelling pearls could keep the mountain cave free of dust and keep the air fresh; the water-repelling pearls protected the entrance of the mountain cave and filtered in the air from the underground river; the sun gemstones embedded in the stone bed could fill the mountain cave with Yang Qi; the stone bed could keep warm and suitable for meditation.

Xia ping ‘an had obtained the dust-repelling Pearl, night-luminescent Pearl, and sun gem when he was in Dragon Horn city. These items were not expensive, at least not to Xia ping’ an. The night-luminescent Pearl and the sun gem could be bought for only tens of thousands of gold coins. The dust-repelling Pearl was slightly more expensive, which cost only a little more than 100000 gold coins. He had obtained the water-repelling Pearl in the undying sea.

Looking at the feeling of the beads being embedded in the underground cave, Xia Pingan couldn’t help but laugh, because he found that the yellow, red, blue and white lights in the underground cave intertwined with the stalactites in the cave, making it a bit like an underground entertainment venue.

After decorating the cave, Zhang tie covered the entire karst cave with a formation disk. After that, he let Xia Lai Fu sit at the entrance of the cave to protect him. The entire cave became impregnable. Even if someone who knew how to escape through the earth came here, they could barely find Zhang tie even if he drilled into the underground river.

For a Summoner who knew how to burrow underground and hide his aura, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

On this return trip to earth, Xia Pingan’s goal was to first obtain all the realm beads that had appeared on Earth that he had yet to fuse with and make the final preparations for his advancement to the nine suns realm. This was because he did not know how long he would be staying on earth this time. If he stayed for a long time, it might even be a year or two. Therefore, the place where his main body was going to cultivate in seclusion had to be secure.

When he returned from earth, he could take the Heavenly King token to the Heavenly King sect and try his luck.

Xia Pingan’s heart jolted. As soon as the divine power he was injecting into the mirror was cut off, the images in his mind and the rainbow-colored light from the mirror were cut off and dissipated. The mirror returned to its normal state.

interesting! Xia Pingan laughed. He rubbed his chin and continued to pour his divine power into the mirror. In the blink of an eye, the scene from earlier appeared in his mind again, and his image appeared in the mirror. With a change of his mind, the image in the mirror suddenly flew to a sand dune a thousand miles away. Xia Pingan kept trying, and the image in the mirror kept changing as well.

Finally, ten minutes later.

I see. Xia Pingan let out a long breath. He finally understood how to use the nether mirror.

This mirror was connected to its owner’s mind. As long as the owner wanted to see something, this mirror could see it within 10000 miles. Additionally, it could lock the whereabouts of the person or thing in the mirror. In a sense, this mirror was very similar to the long-distance vision ability that Xia Pingan had mastered before.

However, this mirror was also different from long-distance vision. Unless it could lock onto a target, it could not actively lock onto a target that was not observed by the person holding the mirror. The reason why he had been discovered by the mirror was because he was rather high-profile in the great desolation city and did not hide his tracks. Yin Jiuling had been using this thing to keep an eye on him. The moment he left the great desolation building, he had been locked onto by the mirror, which was why they had been able to set up an ambush in advance.

If he had changed his face or identity before Yin Jiuling had locked onto him, the mirror would not have been able to find him. Take now as an example, even if someone was holding the same mirror 100 miles away, he would not know where Zhang tie was hiding. Therefore, the mirror could not find him.

There was another advantage to the mirror. The person it was tracking would not be able to discover that it had locked onto them.

damn it, I hope this mirror doesn’t fall into the hands of those perverted peeping freaks. If it does, as long as they have sufficient immortal energy, they can stare at others all day long without being discovered. Yin Jiuling might be a peeping freak. She even uses this thing to trick people, ” Xia Pingan muttered to himself as he rubbed his chin and looked at the mirror in his hand. After that, he put it away. Then, he picked up the realm Pearl of the ‘response bug’.

The realm Pearl of the ‘echo bug’ and the realm Pearl of the ‘humble house Ming’ were not divine power realm pearls. Xia ping ‘an did not know what kind of mayflies these two realm pearls could summon.

Although modern people used ” echo bug ” as a derogatory term to refer to those who had no opinions of their own and only knew how to follow others at any time, Xia Pingan knew that this ” echo bug ” was a strange disease recorded in some ancient books. The person who had this disease was the host of the Echo bug. When the host said a word, there would be an echo in the stomach, and the worm in the stomach would repeat the words of the patient in a low voice. That was why it was called a echo bug.

Hmm, the time to fuse the realm beads is up.
