The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1190 So that's how it can be done! (2nd update)
Yunran looked at the mechanism lock that appeared in the mirror. Although she was somewhat surprised, it was not very obvious.

"Host, could this be the mechanism at the entrance of this cave?"

However, the mechanism lock in the mirror was the kind they had never seen before.

The ginseng fruit quickly accessed its database, trying to figure out how to open the mechanism.

However, there was no similar data in the database, which made Ginseng Fruit feel somewhat frustrated, as if he were completely useless.

Ginseng Fruit felt frustrated once again. At this moment, he finally understood why the independent space that had split off from the world in the book was so strange.

This space contains not only completely independent civilizations, but also many profound spiritual traditions that are even stronger than those in the world of the book.

At least, judging from the sinister techniques we've seen so far, they are far more powerful than the original world in the book where the Xuanmen lineage was broken.

Perhaps it is because when this space was torn apart and separated from the world in the original book, it preserved a part of the lost Xuanmen inheritance.

Yun Ran was completely unaware of what Ginseng Fruit was thinking; her gaze, however, was fixed curiously on the mechanical lock.

"Hmm, this mechanism lock is really not simple. It's much better than the tricky mechanisms I made myself."

The mechanical skills that Yunran learned were built upon the foundation laid by the predecessors of Qingfeng Temple, far surpassing those of many families or lineages.

Ginseng Fruit looked at Yun Ran's eyes and didn't see the kind of frustration that comes with not being able to find the answer.

There was only admiration, and even a subtle excitement of encountering a worthy opponent.

The worry that had been on his face eased considerably.

"Host, what do we do now? There's not a single clue about this mechanism..."

Yun Ran's lips curled up slightly, a hint of a smile in her eyes: "We may not have a solution, but that doesn't mean we have no solution for this mechanism lock."

As she spoke, Yun Ran looked at the bronze mirror that she had already subdued. She had a 'pawn' that could be infiltrated into the enemy's ranks.

The bronze mirror, now bound by a contract, suddenly felt like it was being watched, making it a little uneasy.

Yun Ran used the tone of the Big Bad Wolf coaxing Little Red Riding Hood to deceive the bronze mirror, saying, "Now, it's time for you to show your skills. As long as you unlock this mechanism for me, I'll give you your freedom, how about that?"

Bronze mirror: ...

Huh~
Do you really think it's stupid? It's just a bronze mirror, and a bronze mirror that many people are fighting over. What's so great about freedom?

Although it is now being bullied by Yunran, it no longer needs to absorb those strange creatures.

It's also a bronze mirror with its own unique aesthetic!

I can help you, but the terms are separate. Let me think it over first!

"Okay, deal!"

Okay, put me opposite that guy, and wait for my good news!

Yunran immediately placed the two bronze mirrors face to face. Soon, the mechanism lock in the bronze mirror that had been retrieved from the bottom of the water was also reflected in the bronze mirror that Yunran had contracted.

The lock, which had been closed, seemed to come alive immediately, and began to unlock automatically in the image reflected in the bronze mirror.

This scene left even the ginseng fruit stunned.

He genuinely hadn't imagined that it could be done this way!
The unlocking process didn't seem slow, but the mechanism seemed exceptionally complex. Several minutes passed before they finally unlocked one of the small latches.

There are at least a hundred of these small latches on the entire lock, meaning that unlocking it will take a considerable amount of time. "Host, if we linger here too long, I wonder if we'll attract the attention of others..."

Especially now that they've stopped the waterfall and even found the bronze mirror at the bottom of the water.

It's unclear whether this will affect other parts of Moonflower City.

Yunran also felt that they couldn't just wait here; if someone else broke in, it would be troublesome.

"Alright, I'll keep watch here. You go outside and see if there's any trouble. Try to buy me some time!"

Ginseng Fruit nodded quickly: "Okay, host, I'll go right away, and I definitely won't let anyone come here to disturb you."

Their concerns are not unfounded.

After the waterfall stopped, some strange things happened at the sacrificial tower in Moonflower City.

If it weren't for the internal strife that occurred in Moonflower City before, which caused some of the inheritance to be flawed.

Now, those in power in Moonflower City should know that these problems with the sacrificial tower mean that the most important place in Moonflower City has been broken into.

Unfortunately, they had no idea from beginning to end that the place they were inspecting according to routine was the most important place in the entire Moonflower City.

Before leaving, Ginseng Fruit tied up all those who had been poisoned by Yun Ran and locked them in a small woodshed not far away.

As for the next group of people to take over the inspection, they will arrive in the evening.

This saves a lot of trouble with ginseng fruit.

When leaving this area, the ginseng fruit summoned the little paper doll.

When Ginseng Fruit went to participate in the selection competition under the identity of Yun Ran, she left the little paper doll behind.

It can monitor those people and react promptly if anything seems amiss.

Upon hearing the ginseng fruit's call, the little paper doll appeared beside it in a flash.

"Boss, you're out!"

After saying that, the little paper figure looked behind the ginseng fruit with a delighted expression, but naturally, it did not see Yun Ran's figure.

"Boss, didn't Master come out with you? Hey, where's Erdan?"

Something went wrong during the previous selection competition; that guy Erdan was completely unresponsive.

It rushed straight into the selection competition, which scared me so much that I almost flew out and grabbed it.

Fortunately, nothing irreversible happened when it rushed in; I was so afraid it would die there…

The little paper doll had a very strong desire to share, and wished it could tell Ginseng Fruit everything that had happened since Ginseng Fruit and the others entered the selection competition.

Ginseng Fruit wasn't impatient either; he also needed to extract the points he needed from this information.

Before long, the ginseng fruit obtained a clue it wanted from the little paper figure's narration.

"You mean, when something unusual happened, half of the Moonflower City officials sitting in the stands hurriedly left?"

The little paper doll nodded quickly: "Yes, I followed them to take a look, but they went into a room where there was a magic array. I didn't dare to go in, afraid of being discovered!"
