I Have A Dual World Seal-Chapter 548 Treasure Mirror Refining Completed

Chapter 548: Chapter 548 Treasure Mirror Refining Completed

Having promised Shen Ying to join her on a quest for cultivation and materials, Lu Zheng wasn’t in a hurry to head to Feiyu Mountain. However, if the White Cloud Temple had some good sword refining materials, Lu Zheng didn’t mind acquiring some in advance.

It’s just that...

Lu Zheng pondered, "Such spiritual materials must be quite valuable; these mortal-grade treasure swords and ordinary wine surely can’t be exchanged for them."

Although Lu Zheng was an outer disciple affiliated with the White Cloud Temple, he couldn’t simply ask for such Heavenly and Earthly Treasures without giving anything in return.

"Elixirs!" Liu Qingyan suggested, "Lu Lang and I have been studying the Jade Water Pill Scripture, turning those spirit medicines into spirit pills. We don’t need so many; why not exchange them for spiritual materials?"

"Seems feasible," Lu Zheng nodded in agreement.

Though these aren’t exceptionally high-grade elixirs, they are rare supplements for cultivators with two or three hundred years of Dao Practice. More importantly, there are quite a few of them, thus making them quite valuable.

The White Cloud Temple has a corresponding value exchange system in place, so Lu Zheng wouldn’t be at a disadvantage.

...

In the following days, nothing significant happened in either the ancient or modern world.

...

In modern times, with winter approaching, Lu Zheng often enjoyed hotpot and barbecue with Lin Wan. On weekends, he traveled to Japan, not only punishing those who did evil deeds but also taking the opportunity to enjoy the scenery from north to south.

"You should travel more. One never knows when they might not see these places again."

"Why won’t we see them again?"

"Because Mount Fuji is an active volcano, and hasn’t it been acting up recently?"

"Did you discover something?"

"No, just a guess. After all, fortune comes not twice; misfortune never travels alone. Japan’s national luck seems to have run its course..."

When a person is down on their luck, even cold water can choke them; when a country is unlucky, both natural and man-made disasters strike together. Sometimes, things in this world are quite mystical.

...

In the ancient times, Lu Zheng lived more leisurely, drinking small amounts of wine, with beautiful companions by his side, listening to storytelling and operas during his free time, or hosting friends from the Five Beauties Manor and River God’s Mansion. He also played in the snow with Liu Qingquan and Ao Qian.

"Wow! Brother-in-law, you’re amazing!"

"Haha, am I awesome or what?"

"Amazing, amazing! So awesome!"

Lu Zheng watched Ao Qian and Liu Qingquan clapping and laughing at the two snowmen, feeling a bit speechless. Du Yueyao stood not far away, her face blushing, suppressing her laughter.

"Brother-in-law! Let’s have a snowball fight!"

"It’s never snowed over the ocean; I never knew snow could be so much fun!"

"Snowball fight! Snowball fight!"

Liu Qingquan and Ao Qian pulled Lu Zheng along, and also brought Du Yueyao, whose injuries were about to heal, to happily play with other little friends in the lane.

...

In the cold winter month of December at the Peach Blossom Plain.

Lu Zheng sat in the backyard, with Shen Ying beside him, watching as he cast a spell.

A copper mirror floated in front of Lu Zheng.

This was the very copper mirror he snatched on his way back from the Jinhua Sect two years ago.

Now, after two years and with his acquisition of the Refining Yang Chapter to speed things up, he finally reached the final step of refining the copper mirror.

White Cloud True Qi continuously flowed from his hands into the copper mirror, replacing the Hundred Ghosts Pilgrimage Painting on its back with the Cloud Palace Immortal Realm Painting.

The painting depicted a Celestial Palace hidden among the clouds, with a bright sun shining in the background and celestial cranes soaring through the sky. It looked like a Mystic Sect Treasure Mirror just from the illustration.

Of course, this was only a surface appearance; the core of the treasure mirror still had an unrefined Yin Qi Curse Seal, which prevented Lu Zheng from using the mirror, though after several months of cleansing, he could finally finish it today.

"Wow, this is the first time I’ve encountered such a difficult treasure mirror to refine. It must have been a valuable item even in the Netherworld."

Speaking of which, Lu Zheng had quite a few dharma artifacts in his possession, including the Red Jade Sword, Peach Wood Sword, White Jade Folding Fan, and Golden Light Bracelet.

But these artifacts only took ten days to half a month to refine. Even if the Peach Wood Sword could benefit from continued refinement, it only affected its power, not its usability.

None took as long to refine as this treasure mirror!

So, Lu Zheng finally discovered the weakness of the Mind Jade Seal.

"You don’t have any methods to accelerate the refinement of external objects; that’s your flaw!"

The Jade Seal was speechless, "..."

In the next moment, the True Qi in Lu Zheng’s hand suddenly paused, and the copper mirror floating in front of him shone brightly.

Shen Ying’s eyes flashed as she waved her hand, causing the Peach Blossom Evil to envelop the entire manor, blocking all the mirror’s light and aura.

Lu Zheng took a deep breath and quickly formed a seal with his hands, gathering all the scattered light back in.

A moment later, the mirror’s light was fully retracted, and Lu Zheng gently reached out to take it, its aura concealed, appearing as just an ordinary copper mirror, one that neither Shen Ying nor Liu Qingyan would glance at.

That’s because Lu Zheng had already given them modern makeup mirrors, and he had quite enjoyed their service when they worked together back then.

"Lu Lang, how is it?"

Seeing that Lu Zheng had finally stopped, Shen Ying couldn’t help but ask eagerly.

Lu Zheng nodded and finally smiled, "It’s done; it can be used now."

"This mirror was so hard to refine. What kind of divine techniques does it possess?" Shen Ying asked.

"This mirror has three functions," Lu Zheng explained, "Forbidden Technique, Observation Mirror, and Seeking People."

Forbidden Technique, as the name suggests, seals all spells in the area illuminated by the mirror. This ability was used by that Ghost King, who, even when facing four opponents, was at a great advantage.

Observation Mirror, a spying technique, can use an array as a guide when cultivation is low and the world as a medium when cultivation is high, covering areas from several miles to thousands of miles, all visible in the mirror.

Seeking People, a searching technique, uses divination, aura items, or other clues to manifest the person or place in the mirror.

However, each of these three functions has its limits.

For example, Lu Zheng couldn’t possibly seal Wansong Daoist, but if faced with Saintess Xueyi from the Primordial Saint Sect, he might turn the tide.

Moreover, with Observation Mirror and Seeking People, it also depends on the opponent’s strength; the higher their cultivation and the farther the distance, the blurrier the image in the mirror.

This blurriness is actually a self-protection mechanism of the treasure mirror, indicating the opponent’s formidable strength. If the mirror holder insisted on a closer look, they might even experience a backlash.

Nevertheless, for Lu Zheng, this mirror is an invaluable treasure.

The Forbidden Technique speaks for itself as a solid combat ability, while Observation Mirror and Seeking People are powerful auxiliary skills.

For instance, if Du Yueyao had been captured by Zhao Wuji and neither Lu Zheng’s Qi Observation Technique could find her, this treasure mirror could have been the key. Additionally, it could have revealed Saintess Xueyi’s presence in advance, allowing Lu Zheng to call upon Chu Jin, Daoist Mingzhang, and Master Shouyi to crush her easily.

Additionally, the Observation Mirror provides a warning function; if an unfamiliar aura enters a specified range, the mirror will alert its holder. However, this range won’t be too large, and the corresponding array setup is quite complicated. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

...

After hearing Lu Zheng’s introduction, Shen Ying was quite amazed, "It’s an incredible mirror, no wonder it required two years of refinement!"

Lu Zheng nodded. This thing was practically a peeping artifact!
