Chapter 193 Stealing the Reincarnating Mirror

“You’re awake.” Lin Xiaosa felt a trance. How did he come back to life after he was dead?

“Linghe, why are you here?”

The corner of Xu Linghe’s mouth turned up. Thanks to the Heavenly Book, Lin Xiaosa was resurrected.

“The Heavenly Mirror found you.” Thanks to the little woman’s Heavenly Mirror, they saved Lin Xiaosa in time. At the time, Lin Xiaosa thought of Xiaoli.

“Let me have a look at the Heavenly Mirror.” Lin Xiaosa rolled out of bed. As he recovered from his serious illness, he certainly could do no more. Xu Linghe quickly stopped him.

“You’re sick. You need to rest.” Wuyou pushed the door open. After a while, Lin Xiaosa didn’t look like a patient at all. She gathered the Spiritual Power to seal Lin Xiaosa’s acupuncture points. The poison was almost pushed out of Lin Xiaosa’s body, and his muscles and bones just need to be cleared with the Ancient Spirit.

Lin Xiaosa closed his eyes, his face flushed by the medical steam. His arms and legs had never stretched out as now. The flowing air spread out in all directions. Wuyou gestured in her palms and read the spell. Then, her brow bones opened. The Spiritual Power rolled in the bones, the light gathering, When the blue popped out, Wuyou condensed the blue light. The crystal spinel floated and rotated. It was the God Farmer Technique of the Pangu Divine Being Heavenly Book, the thing that Shennong condensed quintessence of the spiritual grass. The spiritual grass had grown for tens of millions of years, enjoying the same life span as the sun and the moon. It was the spirit born at the beginning of the Chaos, which could solve all kinds of poisons. Wuyou opened Lin Xiaosa’s veins, and the flowing light surged out of her fingers. When the blue spinel opened, floating herb spirits frisked. When Wuyou unsealed the essence spirit, tens of thousands of spirits ran into Lin Xiaosa’s body. Those restless spirits gamboled in his body. Don’t look down upon the spirits. They were able to clean away Lin Xiaosa’s toxin. Even though Xu Linghe had witnessed the miracle power of the Heavenly Book, he was still convinced by it again. How was there such a formidable power to clean marrow and bones?

“The poison has been cleared out.” Wuyou dispersed her Spiritual Power, and then the spinel returned to her eyebrow bones. The blue color thinned out. Pangu Spirit also drilled into Wuyou’s body. When things were done, Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief. Xu Linghe wiped her forehead. Even if the poison had been removed, Lin Xiaosa still looked pale, and his mouth excoriated with blood.

“Save... Xiaoli.” Lin Xiaosa struggled to sit up. If Xiaoli died, he decided not to live alone.

“Xiaosa, you know Xiaoli is human. It’s not easy to bring her back.”

Knowing that Lin Xiaosa was sad, Xu Linghe had to tell the truth, hoping that he was prepared.

“There’s a way to cure Xiaoli.”

“What is it?” Xu Linghe and Lin Xiaosa asked in unison. Wuyou remembered the Soul-summoning Skill.

“As long as we get the Reincarnating Mirror.” Xu Linghe felt bad. The Reincarnating Mirror was stolen by Zhu Jiuyin, so they must take it back to save Xiaoli.

“The Reincarnating Mirror was stolen by Zhu Jiuyin.” Xu Linghe only hoped to get the Reincarnating Mirror soon so that Xiaoli and her family could be reunited soon.

“I’ll go to the Immense Sea, and you go to the North Desert quickly and protect Xiaoli’s body.” Lin Xiaosa was more worried. He turned and rushed out of the door, afraid that his wife’s body would be cremated. By then it would be too late. Xu Linghe and Wuyou went straight into the sky. Wuyou changed into a suit for the mission at night, intending to use her planted agent.

She poured Spiritual Power into the ring. After a white light, Wuyou had gone to the Immense Sea. The ring really was powerful. In the blink of an eye, she arrived in the imperial court. She did not expect that to come to the Immense Sea was to get the Reincarnating Mirror. She hoped Yuan Xueyi could cooperate with her.

Yuan Xueyi had moved. Through the streets, Wuyou followed the ring, hoping to find that person as soon as possible. The streets in the Immense Sea was as prosperous as ever. Thinking of Kunlun that had been destroyed by the Triple Alliance, Wuyou still hated these people. In order to rob the Heavenly Book, the Triple Alliance launched sneak-attacks to Kunlun, and Shenzong, Ying Fu, as well as 20,000 disciples, died on the battlefield. As the Kunlun’s Sect Master, Wuyou had her own responsibilities. Today was the day when the Immense Sea called souls. So every house was hung with a wooden sword to exorcise evil spirits. Time flew!

It was another year. In the alley, the ring became brighter. Wuyou knew that the person she looked for was around. It was just a street away from the royal court. Wuyou flew into the yard. Judging from the yard’s decoration, Wuyou guessed that the owner must be a woman. She softly pushed the door open. Cold fragrance filled in the air, plum flowers scattered in the table, and plum branches were placed in a colored-glaze bottle. It seemed that the owner liked quiet. Wuyou held candlelight and walked to the inner hall. She was right—the owner was really a woman. Then, Wuyou sat on the bed lightly. The woman on the bed slept on the side, so Wuyou could not see the woman’s real face. Wuyou flipped the woman’s hair with her spiritual fingers so as to see her face. How could it be her? Who could expect that the planted agent of Kunlun was the person around Zhu Jiuyin? Wuyou swept her spiritual fingers, and the woman woke up. When the woman saw Wuyou clearly, she was scared, shrank into the quilt, and thought how Jiang Wuyou found here. Yes, she did burn the house. Yuan Xueyi took a glance at Wuyou and hurried to shrink her neck. However, Wuyou kept staring at her, which frightened Yuan Xueyi to jump out of the bed. At that moment, Yuan Xueyi hoped nothing but to leave the house as soon as possible. But the moment Yuan Xueyi was about to leave the bed, she was cast the Fixed Body Technique.

“She’s not trying to kill me, is she?” Yuan Xueyi thought while curling up.

“If you don’t listen to me, you’ll die...”

In order to scare the woman, Wuyou threatened her in a loud voice. It sounded like a fierce and frightening storm to Yuan Xueyi, because the woman before her was the owner of the Heavenly Book, who could kill her as easily as pinching a nonentity to death. Yuan Xueyi tried to unleash the Fixed Body Technique, but her Spiritual Power was too weak.

“Yan Wu almost destroyed Kunlun. Who is to blame...?”

“Just kill me.”

Yuan Xueyi would die to think she was an extra. She had hoped that Zhu Jiuyin would love her, but she accidentally set fire to the woman’s house. Zhu Jiuyin hated her, and Yuan Xueyi regretted it.

“Why do you hate me...?”

“He hates you.”

“I have an idea that will make all your wishes come true.”

The ring radiated spirit light, and the light drilled into Yuan Xueyi’s body. Yuan Xueyi felt her heart was torn and ached. Wuyou activated the wristband, and then Yuan Xueyi suspended on the roof as lightly as a feather.

“What can I do for you, Master?” Yuan Xueyi never gave in. She knew it was not good when Jiang Wuyou came to the Immense Sea.

“The Reincarnating Mirror must be returned to its rightful owner.” Yuan Xueyi remembered the treasure that Zhu Jiuyin stole when Chidi was passing tribulation. It turned out to be called Reincarnating Mirror. The treasure was in the imperial palace. It was not easy to steal it.

“What mirror? I haven’t seen it.” Yuan Xueyi loved Zhu Jiuyin. How could she betray him?

“Really?” As the ring released its flowing light, Yuan Xueyi knelt on the ground, succumbing to the ring’s power. Wuyou flipped her spiritual fingers. A wisp of Spiritual Qi drilled into Yuan Xueyi’s body and made her feel better. Pangu’s Spiritual Qi relieved her pain. As long as she did not go against the ring’s order, she would be like an ordinary person.

“I’ll wait for your good news.” Wuyou flew there. Yuan Xueyi still felt tired after having a rest, because last night, her Original Spirit was absorbed by the ring. Yuan Xueyi dressed up neatly. Yan Wu said men liked cultured women, so she decided to change herself more refined. But the little spiritual beast forgot to remind that a leopard could not change its spots. Being Zhu Jiuyin’s maidservant, Yuan Xueyi had not come to the palace for days, and would suffer Zhu Jiuyin’s punishment. Yuan Xueyi chose the back door. She climbed over the narrow door and headed to the garden. The little spiritual beast heaved great sighs. A gentlewoman did not have any bad habits like climbing over. His parasitifer was incurable. Yuan Xueyi neglected it at all, because her top priority was not to be spotted by Zhu Jiuyin. After the conflagration, the royal court was rebuilt into a more magnificent one. The entire royal court was covered with thick furs and looked extremely extravagant. On both sides were sitting the influential and powerful people in the Immense Sea. Zhu Jiuyin wore a gorgeously red robe with golden silk embroidered border in the shape of auspicious clouds. He looked dignified and respected. The man on the throne was not the youth in white clothes, not the one who used to wrangle with Yuan Xueyi. Yuan Xueyi crawled to the right side of the main hall slowly and hid in the gauze curtain.

“If all of you have nothing to report, off you go.”

Ying Yu got anxious, wondering what was wrong with the Master. Why did the Master seem to change into a different person after the battle with the fire tribe, as he was indifferent to everything? Ying Yu did not know Zhu Jiuyin’s worry. In order to conserve the military forces, Zhu Jiuyin had to pretend to be weak. Otherwise, the other two leagues would have eyes on him. In the battle in Kunlun, Zhu Jiuyin had suffered the heaviest loss, while Emperor Jun just lost 5,000 soldiers, and Chidi’s devil army suffered a few tens of thousands of losses. Even Zhu Jiuyin himself was injured badly by Jiang Wuyou and could not recover well up to now. It turned out that it would cost Zhu Jiuyin a lot of work to get the Heavenly Book. He had sent several groups of scouts out, but no one had returned till now.

What was the current situation in Kunlun? Although Zhu Jiuyin showed the weakness, he never slackened in the dark. Now the woman owned the Heavenly Book that everybody was desperate to get, so Zhu Jiuyin decided to go to Kunlun in person. After the people receded from the court, Ying Yu stood still. It was not easy to get the Master’s position, so Ying Yu thought he must ask Zhu Jiuyin clearly about it. He blocked Zhu Jiuyin’s way. Zhu Jiuyin looked calm and knew that there must be someone who failed to retain his composure. But he thought he’d better hide some things in his heart, and no one could pry eyes on them. Yuan Xueyi hid in the gauze curtain, because she also wanted to know Zhu Jiuyin’s plot. But Ying Yu and Zhu Jiuyin remained silent.

“It cannot work...” Ying Yu could not bear any longer, and decided to ask for a clear explanation today.

“The battle with the fire tribe has claimed tens of thousands of bloody soldiers’ lives, but only 5,000 of the Ninth-level Heaven’s soldiers. This is the crux.”

“A rebel? Di Qing’s dead. We’re just trying to get the Heavenly Book.”

“Are you going to Kunlun? Why don’t you wait until you’re better?” Ying Yu was worried about Zhu Jiuyin. Why didn’t he take care of his body?

“Ying Yu, only you understand me...”

“What if you are discovered by Kunlun’s hypocrite...”

“Don’t worry. I will be more careful, and Kunlun is not what it used to be.”

Their voices lowered down. In order to hear more clearly, Yuan Xueyi crept forward quietly. But after few steps, someone blocked her way. Was she disclosed? Yan Wu reminded Yuan Xueyi to calm down instead of getting flustered.

“Lift up your head...”

The man’s voice was cold. Yuan Xueyi slowly looked up, and her heart calmed down gradually. She had no way but to go ahead. Tears filled in her eyes. She looked quite miserable.

“Get up and answer me.”

“I did not come to the royal court these days and I’m afraid of punishment, so I did not dare to come out.”

“You were so furtive.” Zhu Jiuyin cast a glance at Yuan Xueyi and could feel there was something wrong with the woman, but he could not tell exactly where she had changed.

“Off you go now...” Ying Yu tried to ease the situation at the sight of Yuan Xueyi. It turned out that the little girl hid here. If she were someone else, she would have been dead. Yuan Xueyi wiped her tears and left.

“I just feel something wrong with her.”

“Don’t be suspicious. Just focus on the Heavenly Book. What can a little girl do?”

“If the Ninth-level Heaven sends people here again, tell them I am in seclusion for refining...”

“Yes.”

Zhu Jiuyin ascended to the clouds and Ying Yu turned back. Yuan Xueyi came out from the corner and thought that what to do when the Master was going to Kunlun. If she concealed the facts and failed to report it, Jiang Wuyou would not spare her.

“Why not go to Kunlun hurriedly? Do you want to turn into a loriot?”

“You shut up!”

Yuan Xueyi was thinking about her worries, but was interrupted by the little spiritual beast.

“Your try to entice me to Kunlun? Zhu Jiuyin will kill me.”

“But the ring will make your life a living hell. Why not try to get a win-win result?”

“Do you mean that I should be a double-dealer?”

Yuan Xueyi was smart and thought that the little spiritual beast was right. She could please both sides. Why not go ahead with the method? She made up her mind and became light-hearted.

“I must steal the Reincarnating Mirror, or the enchantress will not spare me.” Yuan Xueyi dared not disobey the ring no matter how bold she was.
