The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1112

Chapter 1112: Chapter 109 Zhenyuanzi Appears Chapter 1112: Chapter 109 Zhenyuanzi Appears Jieyin Daoist continued to inspect the other magical treasures and soon discovered another demonic treasure, the “Ghost Pearl.” Unlike the black demon armor, the Ghost Pearl subtly contained a space within its interior, almost imperceptible if not for his powerful Divine Sense.

Excitement flickered in Jieyin Daoist's eyes as he gathered all his Divine Sense and penetrated into the Ghost Pearl.

However, since the Ghost Pearl was a treasure of the Demon Clan, with prohibitions starkly different from those used by cultivators, and he had not refined this treasure before, it took him a good while to break through the prohibition seal and enter it.

But inside the Ghost Pearl was nothing but dense Demonic Qi, nothing else, which greatly disappointed Jieyin Daoist.

After the magical treasures came a pile of Immortal jade, which was not worth meticulous inspection, and having just forcibly broken through the Ghost Pearl's prohibition, even Jieyin Daoist's Divine Sense felt somewhat fatigued. He gave them a cursory check before moving on to the last few items.

A broken jade pillow, a piece of fiery-red Spirit Wood, a dual-colored Immortal fruit of gold and cyan, a blue jade bottle, and a white round bead hiding a vermilion flame inside.

The Qi emanating from these items was the strongest, capturing his attention early on.

Jieyin Daoist took a deep breath and, his Divine Sense enveloping the objects, began to carefully inspect each one.

His brows furrowed tighter and tighter, for none of these items presented any issues.

Jieyin Daoist fell silent for a while, then once again expanded his Divine Sense to re-inspect everything inside the Linlang Ring, still finding nothing.

He did not give up and checked a third time, only to find no problems yet again.

Though reluctant to admit it, Jieyin Daoist had to accept that there was not the slightest clue regarding the lost Immortal Fruit in Shen Luo's Storage Magical Tool.

“Could it really be that I was overthinking?” he thought to himself.

“Elder Jieyin, what's the result?” Shen Luo asked.

“There is no problem. It seems that I have misunderstood Friend Shen. As mentioned just now, Friend Shen may propose a condition, and I will do my best to fulfill it,” Jieyin Daoist said after a moment. He handed back the Linlang Ring and the Pure Yang Sword Embryo together.

“Thank you for your kindness, Elder Jieyin. However, the inspection is not yet finished. Let's talk about this afterward,” said Shen Luo as he put the Linlang Ring back on his wrist.

Jieyin Daoist was a bit surprised, but as he had important matters to attend to and no time to deal with this right away, he nodded immediately.

Shen Luo turned and walked back to his place, when a piece of the Immortal jade in the Linlang Ring flashed with light, transforming into a Green Jade Box. Adhered to the box was a Talisman, specifically the Liangyi Micro Dust Talisman.

He had just activated this talisman to disguise the green jade box as a piece of Immortal jade, hiding it amongst the pile, thus eluding Jieyin Daoist's inspection.

However, without the accompanying Liangyi Micro-dust Array, relying solely on the Liangyi Micro Dust Talisman to disguise the green jade box was rather difficult and required some time. Therefore, Shen Luo had deliberately stalled with Jieyin Daoist earlier to buy time for activating the talisman.

Given Jieyin Daoist's profound cultivation level, there was no certainty that the Liangyi Micro Dust Talisman could deceive him. Shen Luo had deliberately rearranged the position of the items inside the Linlang Ring to distract his attention.

After such an elaborate effort, it was finally successful.

“Next,” Jieyin Daoist called out.

Shen Luo glanced at Ao Hong beside him; Ao Hong was the next to be inspected.

He suspected that Ao Hong might carry the Ginseng Fruit, and the Void Jade Box had proven to block the Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror's inspection. However, if Ao Hong indeed went to steal the fruit last night, there might still be a trace of Qi left.

Ao Hong smiled at Shen Luo, clearly very confident, and stepped forward, “Daoist Friend Jieyin, please.”

Jieyin Daoist activated the Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror, and a beam of golden light emitted from it, enshrouding Ao Hong's body. Inside the Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror, Ao Hong's reflection appeared.

Golden Light pulsed around Ao Hong, probing every part of his body.

After several breaths, no anomalies were displayed on the Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror.

“No abnormalities, thank you for your trouble, Daoist Friend Ao Hong.” Because a misunderstanding had arisen with Shen Luo, Jieyin Daoist's attitude was now extremely amiable.

Ao Hong nodded and returned.

Shen Luo, who was below, also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

One hour later, everyone in the hall had been checked, and still, no problems were found.

Jieyin Daoist's expression was incredibly gloomy, clenching the Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror in his right hand so hard that his knuckles turned white, not uttering a word.

“Elder Jieyin, you have already conducted the investigation twice, may we leave now?” a man in a green robe stood up and spoke, the very same Green Cloud Daoist who had been anxious to leave earlier.

“This…” Jieyin Daoist's brows furrowed.

He had already investigated everyone in the hall, and for a second time at that, according to the previous agreement, he had to lift the prohibitions and let everyone leave. But if the thief who stole the fruit had not been found, and everyone left just like that, the culprit behind the damage to the Ginseng fruit tree would be lost forever.

However, keeping everyone here, he had no better means of investigation.

As Jieyin Daoist was hesitating, a white Jade Talisman suddenly flew out from his body, inscribed with complex runes and faintly forming the pattern of a human figure.

As soon as the white Jade Talisman left Jieyin Daoist's body, it burst into brilliant white light, and then the light converged, condensing into a semi-transparent human figure.

This figure was elegant in appearance, with three strands of long beard hanging down to his chest, holding a whisk, looking extraordinary.

Shen Luo's pupils shrank, this figure in front of him was Zhenyuanzi, though it seemed to be a doppelganger condensed from a talisman.

However, this doppelganger was very lifelike, almost no different from a real person, even the expressions on the face were clearly visible, leaving one to wonder what kind of talisman it was.

Zhenyuanzi's expression was dark, his eyes sharp and cold, clearly extremely enraged.

“Pavilion Master!” Jieyin Daoist was overjoyed, quickly stood up, and gave the white figure a bow.

“Ancestor Master!” The other disciples from Wuzhuang View also paid their respects.

“Greetings to Senior Zhen Yuan!” The other monks in the hall also hurriedly bowed.

“I already know the cause of the incident, and ask the Daoist friends here to wait a moment, I will catch the thief who stole the fruit shortly.” Just as Jieyin Daoist was about to recount the misfortune that had befallen Wuzhuang View, Zhenyuanzi raised his hand to interrupt him, speaking coldly, and then made a beckoning gesture.

A magnificent golden light shot from deep within Wuzhuang View, arriving outside the great hall in the blink of an eye, passing through the prohibitions around the hall with a flash, and landed in Zhenyuanzi's hands–it was another Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror.

This Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror was much smaller than the one held by Jieyin Daoist, its entire body exhibiting a chaotic hue, giving off a feeling of vastness as if it had come into existence with the opening of Heaven and Earth.

Zhenyuanzi made a gesture with his hands and the Heavenly Earth Treasure Mirror opened with a thunderous roar, spewing golden light like the Sun that enveloped everyone in the hall.

Shen Luo was also submerged in the golden light, feeling a vast warm current flood his body, quickly spreading through his every part, causing him to feel exposed as if he were naked, even more thoroughly than during Jieyin Daoist's previous inspection.

The Linlang Ring was not overlooked either, as the warm current invaded it.

A chill went through Shen Luo's heart, his fingers moving slightly.

Inside the Linlang Ring, the Green Jade Box immediately shifted positions and quickly entered the Broken Jade Pillow.

Just as he finished these actions, the vast warm current came surging in, submerging everything inside the Linlang Ring.

Although this warm current was even mightier and more pervasive than before, the Broken Jade Pillow indeed possessed a miraculous God's Power, for as soon as the warm current touched the jade pillow, it immediately
