The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1323

Chapter 1323: Chapter 1320: Invitation from Little Master Chapter 1323: Chapter 1320: Invitation from Little Master Shen Luo nodded slightly and with a wave of his hand, the black giant ring shrank back to its original size, its Demonic Flames retracting entirely, falling into his grasp.

This Nine Nether appeared unassuming, yet it was capable of enlarging and shrinking at will, and its material was exceptionally hard–almost comparable to Nine-turn Steel. The Demonic Flames that spewed forth from the ring were not ordinary demon fire, but a blend of several types, with a temperature so high that it could not only easily burn flesh and bones to ashes but also turn any Magical Treasures of slightly lower quality that came into contact with it into ash immediately upon touch.

This ring was undoubtedly a lethal weapon for taking lives!

Shen Luo put away the Nine Nether and picked up the last Black Magic Box, also activating the Innate Treasure-refining Technique to refine it, and soon, he had refined most of its internal prohibitions.

“This treasure is originally called the Plague Spreader Box…” He learned its name from the prohibition within.

He had already witnessed the capabilities of the Plague Spreader Box, which could emit intangible and insubstantial Plague Poison that even existences like the Blood Skull Ancestor couldn't detect and suffered an ambush from it.

Back when his cultivation level was lower, Shen Luo would often use poison in battle against his enemies, so he didn't shy away from such methods. Perhaps, at some critical moments, it could have unexpected uses.

While he thought about this, he carefully stored the Plague Spreader Box, then multitasked to begin refining the three Demonic Treasures and the Free and Easy Mirror.

The next day passed in the blink of an eye.

The Free and Easy Mirror hovered in the void, the last circle of prohibition runes surrounding it shattered, turning into specks of starlight that dispersed, and a mist enveloped the mirror, emanating gentle fluctuations.

“It's done,” Shen Luo exclaimed with delight.

“Has it been completely refined?” Fu Donglai, who had now fully recovered, came over upon hearing this and asked.

“Indeed, the last prohibition has been broken, and the space within the Free and Easy Mirror should now be fully open,” Shen Luo said with a smile.

“When I was inside, it was nothing more than a bamboo forest. Now, I wonder what it will look like,” Fu Donglai said curiously.

“Why don't you go in and see for yourself?” Shen Luo teased with a “heh heh” and waved his hand.

The water-cloud patterns on the Free and Easy Mirror lit up immediately, and a beam of red light shot out from the mirror, enveloping Fu Donglai and pulling him into the mirror's space.

Once inside, Fu Donglai's figure appeared in the bamboo forest from before, and after looking around, he noticed that the mist that had shrouded the area was now gone, and he could feel the wind flowing around him.

The Heavenly and Earthly Spiritual Qi that had once gathered in the bamboo forest had also dispersed.

He moved through the bamboo forest and soon saw an open ground beyond it, where a two-story bamboo tower stood.

Not far behind the tower was a void, separated by an invisible Light Wall that vibrated intensely with spatial fluctuations.

Fu Donglai didn't enter the tower, but instead walked around the edge of the whole space within the Free and Easy Mirror along the Light Wall, realizing that the actual area was much smaller than he had estimated–approximately the size of an ordinary manor.

As he was silently contemplating, a divine soul apparition suddenly appeared beside him.

“Elder Brother Fu, what do you think? Isn't this realm quite nice?” The apparition was a divided soul of Shen Luo.

The Free and Easy Mirror was a wondrous treasure, but it had one significant drawback: the person holding the mirror needed to maintain the space within it, balancing the interior and exterior, so the original body could not enter.

“Indeed, it's a fine treasure,” Fu Donglai nodded sincerely.

“Snap”

Shen Luo's divine soul made a snapping sound, and in an instant, the scenery shifted, transporting them directly in front of the bamboo tower.

They pushed the doors of the bamboo tower and entered to find the interior quite simple: the first floor was a reception tea room, and on the second floor, there were two living quarters. Aside from the bamboo desk near the window and the bed against the wall, there was nothing else.

“It seems the original owner was a man of modest means, huh? Aside from this Free and Easy Mirror, he didn't leave behind anything worthwhile,” Shen Luo sighed.

“The Free and Easy Mirror itself is the greatest treasure, isn't it? It can store living creatures, almost akin to a miniature paradise. What more could you criticize?” Fu Donglai said in disbelief.

“Haha, when it comes to treasure, I've always been a believer in the more the merrier.”

As he spoke, Shen Luo flicked his sleeve, and suddenly the empty room overflowed with spiritual energy. A pile of messy spiritual medicines and materials filled the room.

In another room of the tower, a ripple emerged, and a black coffin appeared, but it didn't catch Fu Donglai's attention.

A thick layer of crystal light surfaced on the walls surrounding the room, thoroughly enveloping everything within.

This coffin was tied to the Sky Machine Scroll, and Shen Luo didn't want anyone else to know about it.

Looking at the floor filled with Heavenly Treasures, Fu Donglai's face stiffened as he asked:

“Brother Shen, where did you get all this from?”

“All of these were scavenged by Ghost Yan in the Spirit Cave, but he didn't expect that I would stumble upon his Treasure Vault and then moved everything without leaving a single item,” Shen Luo said with a laugh.

“Brother Shen, just how did you come by such dumb luck?” Watching the treasures on the ground, Fu Donglai couldn't help but exclaim.

“Hehe, it's luck, something you can't learn!” Shen Luo, unfazed by the comment, laughed.

Fu Donglai didn't want to continue the conversation and started to inspect each of the Heavenly Treasures filling the room, which dazzled him to no end.

“Tianbulao, Ziying Stone, Seven-leaf Lotus, Nine Fragrant Insects, Dragon Beard Grass…”

Fu Donglai, with his extensive knowledge of spirit grasses and materials, recognized quite a few that Shen Luo himself didn't know.

Seeing this, Shen Luo quickly asked for advice and managed to learn the names and uses of a dozen or so types of spiritual materials.

He generously selected a few pieces of spiritual materials that would be useful for Fu Donglai and gifted them to him, which delighted Fu Donglai immensely.

The two of them then inspected various places in the Free and Easy Mirror before leaving.

Just as they exited the Free and Easy Mirror, Shen Luo's brows furrowed slightly, and he took out the Black Jade Plate from Tianji City.

The plate's light flickered on and off, and immediately, he formed a hand gesture and sent a stream of mana into it.

Immediately, the image of a miniaturized Little Master appeared on the Black Jade Plate, asking him, “Daoist friend Shen, I haven't received any news from you these past few days, are you well?”

“Thank you for your concern, City Lord, I am unharmed now. But when I escaped from the Black Abyss Mystery Cave that day, I was quite injured, and I have been healing in a secluded place nearby these past few days,” Shen Luo said.

“I see, how are your injuries now?” the Little Master asked further.

“I've just recently recovered and have stabilized myself here, and I was just about to leave,” Shen Luo replied.

“That's good to hear. Once your injuries are healed, you should return to Tianji City as soon as possible. You've helped our Tianji City tremendously this time, and the promise to help you repair your Magical Treasures should also be fulfilled soon,” the Little Master said.

“Alright, I'll head back to Tianji City now,” Shen Luo said, his spirits immediately lifted upon hearing this.

After the image on the Black Jade Plate dispersed, Shen Luo immediately set off with Fu Donglai and returned to Tianji City.
