Chapter 41 The Mirror of Meeting
The Immortal Treasure, Faceless, also known as the Mirror of Meeting, is about one foot in diameter, made entirely of glass, and is a perfectly round, handleless, transparent spiritual mirror. Its supernatural powers are broad but not refined, and its history is long but incomplete. Among the current records of the Immortal Treasure, Faceless, there are three accounts of the Mirror of Meeting's supernatural powers that are most detailed.
First, purify desires and calm the mind to reflect your true self.
The Immortal Treasure - Faceless is normally transparent, appearing to outsiders as nothing more than a piece of glass. However, to its owner, the Mirror of Faceless always provides the owner with the clearest self-will, unaffected by evil spirits, illusions, formations, or poisons, and forever maintains a true and accurate self-awareness.
II. Dispelling falsehoods and seizing truth, the spirit suppresses all evil.
After the holder fully masters the use of the Immortal Treasure, Faceless, through specific spiritual power and energy fluctuations, it will fulfill its true purpose—to slay demons, or more precisely, to slay illusory demons. Illusory demons were once the most powerful race among demons, and their innate illusion techniques and acquired demonic power posed the greatest threat to the survival of immortal cultivators for a long time. Therefore, to counter the powerful Illusory Demon lineage, the Immortal Treasure, Faceless, emerged, becoming a crucial means for powerful immortals of that era to rescue cultivators from the clutches of the Illusory Demons.
III. A thousand people, a myriad of appearances, all captured in a single mirror.
This is the second divine power developed by the user of the Immortal Treasure, Faceless, in an era before the existence of Illusionary Demons. Its main ability is to reflect a person's true thoughts and basic information. After being improved by several owners, it eventually became a sophisticated Immortal Treasure capable of probing cause and effect and destiny. Of course, unlike Immortal Treasures that are naturally used to calculate information, the calculation methods mastered by the Immortal Treasure, Faceless, are acquired, so the price to pay for calculating others is also much greater.

"Why make such a fuss? If it's to test Su Wanqing's spiritual root quality, the 'White Crystal Spiritual Platform' at Mingling Residence would be more than enough." Qingyue looked at the Immortal Treasure, Faceless, which had reappeared after a hundred years, and asked Elder Yuehu with great confusion, "The Immortal Treasure, Faceless, has a cost far greater than the benefits it can bring us."
"Making a big fuss?" With his back to the black mist, Elder Yuehu frowned slightly and said to Qingyue with considerable displeasure, "Do you think that my use of the Mirror of Encounters is making a big fuss compared to Su Wanqing, who just performed a miracle unseen for ten thousand years?"
"This... how can you compare them? We clearly have many more alternative solutions for more comprehensive protection and testing of Su Wanqing, it's completely unnecessary..."
"Enough!" Elder Yuehu interrupted Qingyue, taking a step forward and speaking in an unquestionable tone, "Qingyue, I think you have absolutely no idea what's going on."
"..." Being interrupted by Elder Yuehu was tantamount to being deprived of her right to speak. Despite her displeasure, Qingyue could only listen attentively to Elder Yuehu's words.
"There's no cost-effectiveness to speak of, nor is there any so-called affordable alternative as you mentioned. I have my reasons for using the Immortal Treasure: Faceless. First, the Mirror of Meeting provides me with more comprehensive information, which is more trustworthy to you; second, I need the Mirror of Meeting's appearance to prove something."
"Prove something? What is it?" Qingfeng asked, puzzled.
"This proves how much I, and even all the Supreme Elders of the Old Xuan Hall, value this child, Su Wanqing." Elder Yuehu's voice was not loud, but it was extremely serious.
"..." At this point, everyone was speechless.
"Come, child. Place your hand on this Mirror of Encounters, either hand will do, and the Immortal Treasure, Faceless, will reveal your future." Seeing that everyone had stopped speaking, Elder Yuehu took a few steps forward, came to Elder Muyun and Su Wanqing's side, and led the Immortal Treasure in his hand to Su Wanqing, speaking kindly.
"..." Looking at the rare glass object in front of her, Su Wanqing was momentarily stunned and did not respond.
Of course, no one urged her. Everyone simply focused all their attention on her silently, this time without any pressure, just out of concern.
After a long while, about ten minutes, Su Wanqing finally opened her mouth and said, "May I ask Elder Yuehu a question?"
"...Um, of course, of course. What question do you want to ask?" Elder Yuehu was a little surprised by Su Wanqing's words, but after thinking for a moment, he felt that her concerns were reasonable. After all, she was only a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. Although she had spiritual roots, she still had a childish nature.
"What exactly is this miracle you're talking about?" Su Wanqing asked earnestly.
"..." For a moment, everyone fell into a temporary silence again.
"Didn't you talk to her about this?! This is something we have to hand in for the first lesson, right?" Jian Shan roared at Huai Zhen as expected through the telepathic communication.
"What am I supposed to talk about! Why don't you calculate how long my class was? I just finished explaining the method of elixirs and the history of the elixirs academy's leader, and she started showing off her talent. How could I have had time to explain anything more?"
"**! Why didn't you say that before we came to the Old Xuan Hall?" Elder Jianshan shouted furiously, swearing.
"Stop talking nonsense, okay? Haven't you all been sarcastic and mocking me enough along the way? What chance do I have to talk to Su Wanqing about this? Damn it, you're insulting me, but I want to insult you too! None of you believe me, and now look what's happened! A bunch of you have been entertaining yourselves with Su Wanqing for so long, and in the end, she still doesn't even understand what's going on!"
"You son of a bitch, isn't all of this your fault?" Jian Shan cursed through telepathic communication, almost laughing out loud with anger.
"I..."
"Shut up." Suddenly, Elder Yuehu's voice broke through the spiritual transmission between Jian Shan and Huai Zhen.
"Elder Yuehu, what's wrong with you...?"
"You two, trying to whisper to each other in front of me?"
"..." Upon hearing Elder Yuehu's words, Huaizhen immediately turned around to look behind him. He saw Qingyue squinting her eyes, waving her hand at him with a smug look on her face.
"Damn it! No wonder this guy was so well-behaved, he had already thought of this all along." Looking at the beautifully invisible Qingyue, Huaizhen gritted his teeth in his heart.
"I understand the situation roughly. Shut up and stop using telepathy. If you have something to say, say it in front of everyone. I'm afraid you've all become fools after all these years, so let me be clear—say what you have to say in front of Su Wanqing."
"Yes..." Jian Shan and Huai Zhen's voices came one after another through the primordial spirit's telepathic communication.
For cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage and above, the strength of their primordial spirit has already reached another dimension. The argument that everyone had been arguing about in their primordial spirits would only last for three to five seconds in the real world.
"Do you want to know what a miracle is? It's very simple. The miracle we're talking about is what you just did." With a smile and a slight nod, Elder Yuehu patiently answered Su Wanqing's questions, his eyes full of kindness.
"What...what did I just do? I only know that I silently recited the method of regenerating elixir taught to me by Elder Huaizhen, as Elder Chisong had instructed, but...what exactly did I do?" Su Wanqing looked at Elder Yuehu and asked sincerely.
"How much do you know about the method of regenerating elixirs?" Elder Yuehu pursed his lips and did not answer Su Wanqing's question directly, but instead began to ask Su Wanqing questions.
"Huh? The method of regenerating elixir... I only just started learning it yesterday. As for the method of regenerating elixir, all I know is what Elder Huaizhen taught me in class just now."
"It's alright, just tell me as much as you know."
"Eh!" Although Elder Yuehu still wore that warm, spring-like smile, Huai Zhen felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles, as if he had a thorn in his back or a fishbone stuck in his throat. This wasn't asking Su Wanqing a question at all; it was clearly a case of Xiang Zhuang dancing with his sword, his real target being Liu Bang, deliberately picking on Huai Zhen's faults.
Seeing Su Wanqing's blank expression, Huai Zhen sincerely prayed in his heart, "Little ancestor, I beg you, you've already reached the Foundation Establishment stage, you shouldn't be forgetful, right?"
"Then I'll begin with the origins of the Elixir-Generating Method. Elder Huaizhen said that the Elixir-Generating Method originated from..."
Su Wanqing was, after all, a high school student who had just started high school. She was very receptive to lessons, and having experienced her encounter at Jingxi Lodge and been influenced by Gu and Lin, even someone as "weak" as her could understand the importance of information in the supernatural tales. Therefore, she had memorized everything Elder Huaizhen had said in the Refining Heart Hall.
Therefore, when Elder Yuehu asked about the "method of producing elixir," she could recite everything Elder Huaizhen had said and everything mentioned in the textbook. After all, she was a high school student who hadn't yet entered university. As a student still living in the ivory tower of exam-oriented education, her biggest bad habit in class was that she liked to flip to the page in the textbook that the teacher hadn't covered.
Whether it was fortunate or unfortunate, Su Wanqing completely replicated this bad habit at the Refining Heart Hall, to the point that even if Elder Huaizhen had not yet mentioned the knowledge, she could answer fluently whenever Elder Yuehu asked.
"Good, good! You are indeed extraordinary." After hearing Su Wanqing's answers to his many questions, Elder Yuehu's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and the faint killing intent he had been emanating from Huaizhen softened considerably.
"No, I was just following Elder Huaizhen's advice..."
"Good child!" Elder Huaizhen exclaimed in his heart.
"Good child, since you know so much about the method of producing elixir, I don't need to go into detail again. You just asked me what the miracle we were talking about is? It's actually very simple, it's what you did."
"What did I accomplish? What did I achieve?"
"Do you remember that 'ding' sound we just heard here?"
"Remember."
"That's a sign that one of your three souls, Shuangling, has transformed into a pill."
"Eh?"
"Similarly, you should also remember that after the 'ding,' a burst of azure light emanated from your body, right?"
"Remember..."
"That is proof of three of your seven souls: Sparrow Yin, Foul Lung, and the Elixir of Purification."
"Huh!?"
"If Huai Zhen is not mistaken, Su Wanqing, the first time you practiced the Life Elixir Method, you were able to shake one soul and four spirits; and the second time you practiced the Life Elixir Method, you were able to directly transform one soul and three spirits! This is what is called a miracle, and it is a level that no predecessor of the Life Elixir Academy has ever set foot in since its establishment ten thousand years ago. I believe that for a very long time, you will not see anyone other than yourself."
"...So that's how it is..."
"So, are you now willing to place your hand on the Mirror of Encounters? This is the most precise artifact in our Shengdan Academy for calculating talent, and it is also the greatest respect that our Supreme Elders have for you, a young genius."
"..."
"That's right." Elder Muyun nodded beside Elder Yuehu.
"That's right." Elder Chisong, who had already calmed down, nodded behind Su Wanqing.
"I understand..." After hesitating for a moment, Su Wanqing pursed her lips and placed her right hand on the Mirror of Encounters.
