A Thousand People, a Thousand Colors
Qi Yuan looked flustered, while Dao Lord put down the Mirror and a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Intrinsic intelligence? That makes sense. You've followed me for over a thousand years, your spiritual energy constantly regenerating day and night; it's time for you to develop intelligence."
Qi Yuan felt a sense of relief.
"Come out now, and I will restore your Divine Ability."
After speaking, Dao Lord waved his hand, his tone still gentle, and Qi Yuan immediately felt a suction force coming from him.
If Qi Yuan were willing, he could break free from the Mirror in the next instant and receive the Dao Lord's reshaping Divine Ability.
His consciousness will detach from the mirror, coalesce into a human form in front of the mirror, gain a new body, new abilities, and regain a physical form.
But Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment, then declined and remained in the Mirror.
I've been in the Mirror for most of the day without any problems, but going out rashly might cause trouble. I should stay put a little longer.
After all, he didn't understand Dao Lord, this era, the Body Refining, or anything else.
Dao Lord glanced at him and spoke again, "Is it that you are unwilling? Then I will not force you any further. Help me deduce the cause and effect and see what major events have occurred recently?"
Upon hearing these words, Qi Yuan had a sudden inspiration, and in a moment of clarity, he activated a certain ability of the Mirror. A line of words appeared in his mind and was then projected onto the Mirror—
After the Heaven's Collapse, guests arrived, a thousand people of a thousand colors. The world was destroyed, and the orthodox traditions were shattered. Those who held the Jade Pendant did not follow common sense; those who held the Rainbow Threads did not respect ethics; those who held nothing in their hands were not afraid of heaven and earth; those who held the Heavenly Book were untouched by cause and effect...
The line of text only appeared halfway before inexplicably collapsing and not appearing again. In fact, Qi Yuan felt an intense, extreme pain in his soul, and the mirror surface cracked!
Upon seeing these words, Dao Lord's expression changed slightly. He covered himself with a red cloth, flicked his sleeves, and left.
Qi Yuan clearly felt the Mirror rise into the air and fly up instantly!
Just then, a stream of information suddenly popped up in the Mirror and was received by Qi Yuan.
"It looks like a work log."
Qi Yuan had no way to stop the Mirror from flying; he could only move Mirror slightly, so he decisively processed the information.
"Usage records from three hundred years ago, usage records from two hundred and seventy years ago..."
Qi Yuan found records of the Dao Lord's use of the technique seventeen times over the past three hundred years, which sent a chill down his spine.
He always believed that his Mirror was a magical artifact of the Dao Lord.
No, it was Intelligent Creation of the ancients!
It was only because Dao Lord found this Ancient Mirror that it possessed functions such as communicating with heaven and earth, answering questions, and locating objects.
Dao Lord even used this Mirror to successfully set up a trap and seal away another Dao Lord of the same realm.
But what Dao Lord just said doesn't match this information!
"He wanted to trick me into leaving. He didn't believe that such an ancient celestial treasure could develop consciousness, and suspected that I was a tool of another Dao Lord. Fortunately, the Ancient Mirror was powerful enough; if I had agreed to leave the Mirror just now, I'd probably be turned into the Fiji Cup by now..."
Qi Yuan, who had no body, suddenly felt the urge to urinate, feeling that this era was truly too hellish.
Having no understanding of this era, I was tricked by a top expert who blocked my door. Fortunately, I didn't know what "Reshaping Divine Ability" was and was not tempted.
If Dao Lord had suggested unleashing Hellfire, he might have actually left.
After pondering for a long time, Qi Yuan realized that the Mirror had flown far away and landed in a river.
"What the hell? They couldn't handle it and didn't trust me, so they just threw me away?" Qi Yuan was dumbfounded and didn't know what to do.
A Golden Core Dao Lord suspected that his Mirror contained the consciousness of another cultivator, and then threw it away?
The key point is that although Dao Lord seemingly abandoned him, he most likely has a backup plan. Qi Yuan goes out to make moves, he will definitely die without a burial place.
After pondering for a long time, he manipulated the Mirror and searched for "Luosu." The Mirror intelligently anchored to his thoughts and pointed out a direction.
Qi Yuan began drifting, relying on the Mirror's ability to move.
"Go find Luosu, their Transmigrator Alliance definitely has a way!"
After Su Luo ransacked the homes of several Qi Refining Perfection cultivators in Pagoda City in less than half a day. She was very careful in her actions, killing anyone she saw in their residences.
After taking the Spirit Stones and materials, he disposed of the person casually, throwing the corpse into a dry well outside the city, and crushing the soul into a simplified form to cultivate the Heartfire.
After doing all this, he retreated to the dilapidated earth god temple outside the city, sat quietly, and focused on improving his cultivation.
The reason why we didn't raid the homes of Foundation Establishment cultivators in Pagoda City is quite simple.
Just like the insults hurled at Survivors now, "fuck your mother" has transformed from a complex symbol with connotations of reproductive worship into a simple interjection, because it can't be used to attack something that doesn't exist.
Foundation Establishment cultivators, as patriarchs of ordinary cultivation families, Lifespan three hundred years and are considered outstanding individuals. They usually possess their own large territories, far away from Pagoda City.
There are indeed Foundation Establishment cultivators residing in the city, but those who control the city's protective formation don't have their resources here. When they fight, the fighting is massive, and once the formation is activated, the whole city knows about it, so Su Luo can't easily make a move.
Even raiding the home of a Qi Refining cultivator would be a very rewarding experience.
Su Luo had approximately 13,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, as well as a number of magical artifacts, spiritual materials, and pills.
"In this world's market, Foundation Establishment Pill costs about 10,000 low-grade Spirit Stones, but in reality, the supply can't meet the demand, and the price is exorbitant... I'm really poor; I had to copy seven or eight different things to scrape together these."
He simply crushed the Spirit Stones and absorbed them to enhance his Attributes. He didn't cultivate the orthodox immortal Immortal Dao; he didn't seek the Golden Core or Violet Palace, only the right Attributes.
The Qi entered his body, but instead of circulating through his body or condensing in his dantian, it was directly drawn by his Divine Power, seeping into his flesh and bones, and transforming into the most Origin vitality and power. An exaggeratedly concentrated vortex of Qi surrounded him, radiating Spiritual Light and whistling through the air.
If left unchecked, the sheer volume of this storm's entrainment would be far greater than the extraordinary celestial phenomena that occur when a cultivator Foundation Establishment.
"Absorbing these Spirit Stones will raise your Attributes by approximately 17. After three hours, that's equivalent to the late Foundation Establishment stage."
Su Luo was quite satisfied that she could rebuild her Attributes to 17 in less than a day in this era, which was higher than she hadn't achieved in four days in the previous era.
Besides Spirit Stones, Su Luo can also consume spiritual materials and pills. In his view, they are all Qi and various forms of energy, and he accepts them all without discrimination, regardless of whether they are vegetarian or not.
"Blood Qi Pill, Virility Pill, Dragon's Whisker Grass..."
While absorbing Spirit Stones, Su Luo also stuffed some low-quality spiritual materials and pills into her mouth, regardless of their effects, even if they were poisonous pills.
Some items might Body Modification Su Luo's physical body, but Su Luo didn't care much. He would occasionally remove them, but only the physical body was affected; he focused on the soul.
After consuming some aphrodisiacs, veterinary drugs, poisons, and cultivation pills, Su Luo turned her attention to the well-packaged items.
"Spring Breeze Grass can effectively increase the chances of Foundation Establishment cultivator conceiving. Tiger Qi Pill, one pill lasts for one day and one night..."
The things these guys are holding are anything but ordinary; they're outrageous.
That's normal, though. Serious cultivators cultivate and explore the Great Dao in their family territories, while these people come to the city to relax and enjoy themselves. It's only natural for them to have a good time.
