Born with immortal seed

Chapter 154 Bronze Mirror
“I can make the decision… After my elder brother returned from Jade Moon Lake, he gave me the bronze mirror. It is a treasure that I can dispose of at will.”

Zhen Er also realized that the person in front of him was not talking nonsense. As a famous sword immortal elder, this Elder Bai could definitely produce a Foundation Establishment spiritual item.

"Very good."

Bai Zichen put the bronze mirror into his storage bag and said, "The Pure Yang Gang Sha can be exchanged for 1,500 sect contribution points in the Transmission Hall. I will send a letter to Elder Pei later to explain this matter. You and your brother can go to the Transmission Hall to exchange it... The required contribution points will be deducted from my account."

On the surface, the Qingfeng Sect can only condense one pure Yang Qi Sha every ten years.

However, the actual number of Foundation Establishment spirit objects is far greater than this.

He hadn't explored the mysteries within, but during his conversation with Liang Yu, he vaguely learned that the sect had other ways to obtain Foundation Establishment spiritual items.

The Foundation Establishment spiritual items are stored in the Transmission Hall. As far as Bai Zichen knows, the vast underground palace contains at least three Pure Yang Gang Sha and three Black Water Gang Sha.

Because Senior Brother Dai Hui had just mentioned that he needed to ask You San, the steward of their Weapon Refining Hall, to go to the Transmission Hall to request a Foundation Establishment spiritual item.

Blackwater Gang Sha is also a Foundation Establishment spiritual object. Its effect on strengthening the physical body is not as good as Pure Yang Gang Sha, but it has a trace of pure magic power.

Overall, the foundation-building effect remains unchanged.

Bai Zichen believed he had influence in the Transmission Hall; if all else failed, he could purchase one from a true disciple.

Within the sect, many people are willing to be close to him.

This can be seen from the constant stream of visits and letters delivered to Bai Yulou every day.

"Thank you, Elder Bai! Thank you, Elder Bai!"

Zhen Er suddenly knelt down and kowtowed forcefully.

He quoted a price for a bronze mirror in exchange for a Foundation Establishment spiritual item, his words laced with resentment and an element of attention-grabbing.

When they came, they had no intention of actually getting a Foundation Establishment item.

Now that my dream has come true, I feel it is a blessing from heaven that I have met such a kind person as Elder Bai, who is willing to lend a helping hand.

As for whether it can really be done, everyone knows that Elder Bai values ​​his promises the most. Back then, when the conditions he promised to several menial disciples changed due to objective circumstances, they all gave up their due income and refused to change their promises.

This story had already spread far and wide among the lower-ranking disciples, making everyone extremely envious of those menial disciples in the story.

Everyone speculated that it was this proud and unyielding spirit that allowed Elder Bai to achieve such a high level of swordsmanship at such a young age, becoming the number one swordsman in Black Mountain.

Bai Zichen looked at Tian Kang and Lan Lun, one of them was trembling all over, his mouth opening and closing as if he were saying something.

The other one knelt on the ground, his face deathly pale, devoid of any color.

"Elder Bai, please forgive us. We were unaware of your identity and have offended you..."

Tian Kang's mouth was full of bitterness. He had only been an inner disciple for a month and was enjoying the height of his glory.

He could already foresee his bleak future.

Hopefully, Elder Bai will be magnanimous and let the matter drop.

"What you did before wasn't wrong, and you weren't wrong for not knowing my identity... On the path of cultivation, it's not wrong to fight against the heavens, the earth, and people, and it's not wrong to seize a Foundation Establishment spiritual item through upright means. Your mistake was relying on your status to arbitrarily set prices for other disciples' treasures and force them into transactions."

Bai Zichen shook his head. From the time he was an inner disciple, he was framed, and now he was in this situation.

The internal environment of Qingfeng Sect is far better than that of the demonic sects, yet there are numerous instances of infighting, exclusion, and plundering.

If I become the head of the Law Enforcement Hall in the future, I will definitely rectify the sect's atmosphere.

"You two, go to the Hall of Enforcement and report what happened today, then accept your punishment."

After Bai Zichen finished browsing the trade fair and obtained the bronze mirror, he didn't have time to talk to the two younger disciples.

He said goodbye to Jiang Shu and then left the trade fair.

The entire venue erupted in chaos once Bai Zichen had walked away.

"It's actually Elder Bai! He actually came to our outer disciples' trade fair!"

"Junior Brother Zhen, you're lucky, Elder Bai is standing up for you."

Gan Guangde helped Tian Kang up and said with a wry smile, "Junior Brother Tian, ​​I don't think Elder Bai intends to punish you severely. At most, the Enforcement Hall will give you a reprimand, it's not a big problem."

He felt a pang of sympathy for Tian Kang, realizing that such an ordinary trade fair had ended up like this.

In particular, the cause of the incident was closely related to Gan Guangde.

"How about we just pretend this never happened... They're so busy, they probably won't even notice whether we went to the Hall of Law Enforcement or not."

Lan Lun's eyes darted around, and he came up with a crooked idea.

"Then go ahead and try. There are hundreds of outer disciples here today. If even one of them goes to the Enforcement Hall to raise the issue, it will be exposed. Even if it was originally a small matter, disobeying the elder's orders will change its nature and become a big deal."

Tian Kang glared at Lan Lun; these scions of aristocratic families were indeed unreliable.

"Senior Brother Gan, I saw that Junior Sister Jiang left with Elder Bai... The two must be old acquaintances. Do you think we could follow this lead and ask someone to intercede on her behalf?"

While Tian Kang and Lan Lun were anxiously discussing how to get away with their crimes, a young girl in the audience covered her red lips, still unable to calm down from her shock.

If the carefree young man who browsed his stall was Elder Bai Zichen, then it meant that what he said was true.

The brass ring left by my grandfather is really worth five hundred spirit stones!

Thinking of this, the naive girl immediately took off the brass ring from the stall and stuffed it into her pocket, nervously glancing around.

They simply gathered everything from the stall, packed it into a package, and ran away.

……

Jiang Shu carefully took two steps behind, following behind.

"How have you felt these past few years as an outer disciple?"

Upon hearing the question, Jiang Shu quickly suppressed her ulterior motives and said, "Very good. The spiritual energy is much more abundant than at home before. There are also deacons who take turns giving lectures every month, and I can ask them any questions I don't understand. There are also rewards for completing sect missions. If I save up some more, I can exchange them for a bottle of pills to enhance my cultivation."

Bai Zichen glanced at Jiang Shu's cultivation level; she was only at the fifth level of Qi Refining.

He was insignificant in his eyes, but in the original Jiang family, he would have been considered a master.

"You should submit an application to the General Affairs Hall to transfer to Feiyue Lake... It's already on track there. There are five halls and seven departments now, and eight departments, and they all have branch offices."

Bai Zichen felt that Jiang Shu was living too comfortably in Benshan and that she couldn't be satisfied with her current level of cultivation.

"You mean you want me to go to Emerald Moon Lake?"

A blush crept across Jiang Shuyan's face as she happily asked, "Then will you instruct me in cultivation techniques?"

“You are far beyond my level; having Lu Song to teach you is enough.”

Bai Zichen gave Jiang Shu a few more instructions, then thought for a moment and decided to personally make a trip to the Transmission Hall.

He approached Senior Brother Pei Dongyong and told him that he wanted to use his own contribution to exchange for a Foundation Establishment spiritual item for an outer disciple.

Pei Dongyong hesitated for a long time before finally agreeing, saying he would report the matter to Ying Zhong and that it wasn't a big problem. He even deducted 1,500 contribution points directly from Bai Zichen.

The elders' salaries for this year have only been paid out for a few days, and the sect contribution points on the elders' tokens have already returned to double digits.

On the way back to Feiyue Lake, Bai Zichen switched to the Tianxin Sword and began testing this newly acquired second-tier flying sword.

A streak of gray-white sword light flew silently, without a sound like the jade-like sound of the Yinzhu Sword, or even the sound of an ordinary flying sword cutting through the air.

Until Bai Zichen held nothing back and unleashed the Sword Qi Thunder Sound Realm, increasing the speed of the sword light by several times, finally the sound of rolling wind and thunder gathered.

However, it was also a gentle breeze and muffled thunder, much quieter than the other flying swords.

"Tianxin Sword, the sword of assassination... The description in the secret manual of sword forging is indeed correct. This flying sword is perfect for sneak attacks and ambushes."

Bai Zichen was very satisfied with the performance of the Tianxin Sword. They sped along for more than two hours and soon came to see the vast waters, shrouded in mist.

Back at Baiyulou, after dismissing everyone else, Bai Zichen took out the bronze mirror he had obtained at the trade fair.

He appeared out of nowhere and exchanged a Foundation Establishment artifact for the bronze mirror; it was certainly not out of sympathy for Zhen Er.

Rather, it was when Tian Kang activated the bronze mirror with his magic that a long-dormant treasure in his dantian stirred and became responsive.

Since the Ziwei Dazzling Thunder Sword Embryo entered his Qi Sea, it was no different from falling into a complete slumber.

Immersed in liquid mana, it repairs the wounds inflicted on the flying sword by countless years, while simultaneously cleansing every drop of mana with a faint electric spark.

Unbeknownst to him, Bai Zichen's liquid magic power was advancing to a higher level.

The Purple Star Thunder Sword Embryo has now fallen to the third rank, and only objects of the same rank can trigger its response while it is dormant.

Bai Zichen immediately realized that the bronze mirror was not a high-grade spiritual artifact component or a damaged spiritual artifact that had been sealed, but a third-order magic treasure!
In the world of cultivation, anything that reaches the third rank will undergo a qualitative change.

Magical artifacts are among the best of the best.

One can get a glimpse of the whole picture from the powerful talisman treasures in the hands of low-level cultivators.

A magical artifact, if intact, is of immeasurable value.

Even fragments of magical artifacts, if they still contain power, can be exchanged for a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Regardless of the origin of this bronze mirror or how well it is still intact, exchanging it for a Foundation Establishment spiritual item would definitely be a huge profit.

Bai Zichen could have easily acquired it for an even lower price, but he simply didn't bother.

"I hope that mirror-type magic treasures can come with some special supernatural abilities... That way, once I reach the Core Formation stage, I'll immediately have two magic treasures at my disposal: the Purple Star Thunderclap Sword Embryo and the Bronze Mirror!"

Bai Zichen poured his magic power into the bronze mirror while lost in thought.

Normally, it is an impossible task for a Foundation Establishment cultivator to refine a third-tier magic weapon.

However, this bronze mirror was clearly severely damaged. It had been stuck at the bottom of Jade Moon Lake for countless years and was on the verge of being downgraded due to the lack of sufficient spiritual energy.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been mistaken for a high-grade spiritual artifact component by a second-tier weapon refiner.

In this situation, the bronze mirror would not retain much resistance.

As liquid magic was continuously injected and circulated inside the bronze mirror, the streaks of fire continued to light up, gradually forming a circle.

hum!
The bronze mirror trembled violently, like a greedy glutton, and began to frantically absorb magical power without end.

As the spiritual liquid in his dantian neared the bottom, Bai Zichen forcibly severed the connection of magical power, yet the bronze mirror still seemed to convey a sense of lingering satisfaction.

A message entered his mind, the fire pattern went out, and the bronze mirror dimmed again.
