Mortal Mirror

Li Ergou's divine sense flickered, and he took out the spiritual root.

At this moment, the spiritual root was chopped into pieces by him. He pieced it together, and it looked like a large radish. This thing was dark and black, and the chopped areas even had vessel-like veins.

With a thought, he felt that there was a very strong explosive aura within the spiritual root. The entire spiritual root contained both spirituality and demonic energy.

After his judgment, this thing was a demonic seed and could not be used. However, it could be replicated. Without the demonic energy, this thing should still be a good spiritual medicine.

Without much thought, he threw the whole thing into the bronze mirror to replicate it.

As Li Ergou expected, the replicated item was full of spirituality. He directly set the original on fire, burning it to ashes, to prevent it from reviving in the future. This way, it wouldn't be able to revive even if it wanted to.

After finishing everything, Li Ergou finally came outside.

Looking at the countless spiritual soil on the ground, he still felt a little regretful in his heart. Alas, things that cannot be done, cannot be done.

Ji Wuming looked into the distance and said, "We've wasted so much time. Let's set off immediately."

Li Ergou nodded, without hesitation, and continued his journey with the blood bead. The blood-red coffin also followed him, truly inseparable.

And so, Li Ergou resumed his days of searching for the remnants of corpses. He wondered when this vast starry sky would end.

At the same time, in Fish City, Big White Elephant, Xiwa, and the thirteen youths from Wanglong Village finally arrived at Orange Mountain after several days of travel. Standing at the foot of the mountain, everyone was filled with emotion.

Big White Elephant sighed, "Ergou has really made it. How much money would it take to buy such a big mountain?"

Xiwa chuckled foolishly, "I heard it costs hundreds of thousands of taels of silver. Those silver coins could be piled up into a small mountain, right?"

"Hundreds of thousands of taels!" everyone exclaimed, unable to imagine how much money that was.

Big White Elephant chuckled twice and said, "Haha, great! Let's go. Ergou is so rich now, let's freeload off him. We should at least get a big meal out of it."

Everyone agreed and followed Big White Elephant up the mountain.

The Second Uncle, who was tending to the mountain forest, was overjoyed to see Xiwa and the others. He asked them why they had come, and Big White Elephant told him that they had taken leave from Head Constable Huang San because they weren't busy these days.

After chatting warmly for a while, the Second Uncle led them up the mountain.

Mei'er and Jing'er were also there. Mei'er was naturally happy to see these people. Although Jing'er wasn't familiar with everyone, she was equally enthusiastic.

Big White Elephant asked where Li Ergou was. At this moment, Mei'er sighed and told them about Li Ergou's situation. Everyone was slightly stunned after hearing this and couldn't help but worry about Li Ergou.

In the Fish City government office, Bai Su put down the files in her hand, her mind also heavy. More than ten days had passed, but Li Ergou seemed to have disappeared into thin air, leaving no trace.

For a moment, she couldn't help but recall the time she and Li Ergou were squeezed together in the stone crevice. Everything seemed like yesterday. Although this Ergou seemed unreliable, he was still dependable at critical moments.

This was the first time in her life that she had worried about someone else. At this moment, she couldn't help but look out the window. The last apricot-yellow leaf floated past and fell with the breeze. Small snowflakes actually began to fall in the sky. The snowflakes were crystal clear, but her brow furrowed, and she became even more worried.

In Fish City, at the Vermilion Bird Academy, Ye Wanwan shot an arrow, but her usual sharpshooting skills missed the target. She put down her bow in annoyance and looked into the distance, an unknown distance away.

She muttered to herself, "Ergou-ge, oh Ergou-ge, where have you gone? You must return safely."

With that thought, she put away her bow, went out, requested a large horse, and headed straight for Orange Mountain.

In Fish City, at the Yangchun Brothel, in Qin Xian's residence, Qin Xianzi rested her chin in her hand, looking at the first snow of winter outside, her eyes showing a lazy expression.

At this time, she heard herself murmur, "This Ergou hasn't come in a long time. Since I have nothing to do today, I might as well go see him and ask for a chicken to eat. I still haven't forgotten the taste from last time."

With that thought, she didn't think much about it, changed into a simple dress, and with a flash of her body, she disappeared into the room. If someone familiar with her saw this scene, they would be dumbfounded.

After all, who would have thought that this gentle and graceful person, like a celestial being, was actually also a cultivator? Perhaps everyone would be even more unable to imagine how terrifying her identity was.

Alas, everything was a secret, her own secret.

In Fish City, at the Tianxian Restaurant, Chen Bajin grabbed a large sea bowl and poured wine into his mouth with a gulping sound. Looking at the empty wine jar, he only felt that it was not enough. He shouted loudly, "Waiter, bring wine! And two catties of braised beef."

After eating and drinking his fill, this guy wiped his mouth and drunkenly walked towards the Yangchun Brothel. Seeing the snowflakes outside, he finally sighed and said, "Ergou brother, you've really worried your old brother to death. Damn it, you didn't even say a word before leaving. You're really not loyal.

No, I have to go to Orange Mountain to see if there's any news over there."

In the Divine Demon Grotto Heaven, Li Ergou naturally didn't know that many people were thinking about him. Perhaps he was no longer as lonely as he was when he was a child. If he knew this scene, he didn't know what he would think.

At this moment, Li Ergou was constantly searching for the remnants of corpses in the Divine Demon Grotto Heaven, absorbing the power of the divine soul. Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

The new year had already passed, and Li Ergou had also reached the age of twenty.

The age of twenty, a flower-like existence.

Above a remnant corpse, Li Ergou opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in them.

These days, they had been very lucky, finding more than a dozen remnants of corpses, large and small. Although Li Ergou's cultivation had not increased at all, his divine sense was extremely powerful. Now, his divine sense could extend to a thousand meters away.

What was this concept? A Golden Core cultivator's divine sense was only five hundred meters. A thousand meters could only be reached by a late-stage Golden Core cultivator.

In this way, his divine sense was truly terrifying.

His divine sense was not only extended far enough, but it was also more powerful and tenacious than the divine sense of ordinary cultivators.

It was a pity that this Divine Refining Technique only taught people how to refine the divine soul, but there was no small spell for sacrificial refining the divine soul. It wasted such a powerful divine sense.

It was like a martial arts master with unparalleled cultivation, who had internal strength but did not know any martial arts moves, unable to exert his advantages. How tragic was that?

Even so, when fighting against others, he could use his divine sense to descend supreme pressure, which could deceive his opponents. After all, with a thought, his aura was comparable to that of a late-stage Golden Core cultivator, which would scare the opponent silly.

With that thought, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, revealing a sinister smile.

After a while, Ji Wuming also opened his eyes. Now, the aura on this guy was getting stronger and stronger. He didn't know what kind of technique he was cultivating.

Ji Wuming looked at Li Ergou for a moment, then nodded and said, "Good, very good, you are also improving very fast. Follow me, and I guarantee you will become extremely powerful."

Li Ergou was contemptuous in his heart. This cultivation speed was indeed very fast, but if he didn't have the bronze mirror, he would have become a complete demon by now.

However, what could he say? Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, the red coffin that had been following them shook violently.
