Chapter 219: A Broken Mirror!
in front of him, his eyes flickering."Your thoughts are likely correct. The one before us is probably one of the ancestors of the devil." Li Huoyù's voice echoed."Ten Thousand Dao Starting Demon..." F...The figure walked at a leisurely pace, his head bowed, obscuring his face.
But as he walked, he suddenly stopped, raised his head, and looked in the direction where Fang Yu was.
And Fang Yu was also staring at him.
Their gazes met in the air.
Fang Yu only saw a pair of eyes.
Because the area below the eyes is covered.
What surprised Fang Yu was the person's pupils.
It's actually gray-white.
This person looked at Fang Yu, their eyes hollow and emotionless.
At this moment, Fang Yu suddenly felt like this person was grinning and smiling at him.
This person's face was covered, you couldn't see their expression, but Fang Yu just had that feeling.
This man looked at Fang Yu for a few seconds before shifting his gaze and continuing toward Huamanlou.
Fang Yu frowned slightly.
This person is too creepy. They give off dozens of different auras, and their eyes don't look like those of a human...
"Mr. Fang!"
Just as Fang Yu was thinking, a melodious female voice suddenly appeared behind him.
Ji Ruomei wore a white evening gown, her hair styled in an elegant updo, and she had a touch of makeup on, making her incredibly beautiful.
But her face, it truly resembled Cold Xuen's from back then.
Fang Yu just glanced at it and quickly shifted his gaze.
"Mr. Fang, it's been a long time! I didn't expect to meet you here." Ji Ruomei said with surprise.
"I came here with my friend to take a look around," Fang Yu said.
"Fancy a browse Wouldn't Mr. Fang like to trade something There will be many rare items at this evening's exchange meeting, perhaps even the demonic beast inner pill you need." Ji Ruomei said.
"I have nothing on me, I can't trade at all," Fang Yu said.
"It's fine, Mr. Fang. If you see anything you like, just let me know and I'll do my best to trade it for you." Ji Ruomei smiled gently.
"Well, let's see what happens then." Fang Yu said.
"Miss Ji."
At that moment, a man's voice spoke up.
Upon hearing this voice, Ji Ruimei's expression changed slightly.
Turning around, she saw a man in his thirties with gold-rimmed glasses standing before her.
"Mr. Zhu, hello," Ji Ruomei said politely.
This is Zhu Chao, the son of Zhu Bao, the leader of the underground forces in Jiangnan.
Ji Rumei has met Zhu Chao a few times at various occasions, but after that, Zhu Chao kept harassing her, making her very annoyed.
But due to Zhu Chao's background, Ji Ruimei didn't dare to completely offend him.
"Miss Ji, I knew I would see you here. Sure enough, I just got here a short while ago and with a casual glance, I saw you. Hehe," Zhu Chao smiled.
Behind Zhu Chao, followed a middle-aged man in blue robes, whose cultivation was at the half-step master level.
"Mr. Zhu, if you have nothing else to say, I'll…" Ji Rumei didn't want to talk to Zhu Chao any longer.
At this time, Zhu Chao glanced at Fang Yu and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"This is..."
Ji Ru Mei glanced at Fang Yu and said, "He is my friend, Mr. Fang Yu."
"Fang Yu"
Zhu Chao felt the name was a little familiar, but he didn't have a deep impression.
He didn't think too much about it, he was just very puzzled.
Why could this simple-clothed, ordinary young man, Fang Yu, become friends with Ji Ru Mei
He was smitten with Ji Ruimei's beauty from the moment he first laid eyes on her. From then on, he sought opportunities to strike up a conversation with her, hoping to win her over.
But Ji Ru's reaction was very cold, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Because Ji Ru Mei is not an ordinary woman, she is the only daughter of the wealthy Ji family in Jiangnan.
With this background, Zhu Chao didn't dare to be forceful like he was with other women.
He must rely on his personal charm to gain Ji Rumei's favor.
But just now, seeing Ji Ruimei and Fang Yu talking happily together, a surge of jealousy rose in his heart.
How could the woman he had his eye on get so close to another man
"Mr. Fang, hello. My name is Zhu Chao. People on the streets call me Young Master Zhu, hehe." Zhu Chao squeezed out a smile and said to Fang Yu.
But Fang Yu simply ignored him.
At this moment, the man exuding an eerie aura had already stepped into Huamanlou.
Fang Yu stared at his figure, his brow furrowed.
"Hey! You kid, Young Master Zhu is talking to you. Didn't you hear" The half-step Grandmaster follower behind Zhu Chao glared at Fang Yu angrily.
Fang Yu glanced at him, just about to speak.
"Welcome everyone to this trading fair, I am Ju Bao Zhen Ren. You should all know me, so I won't introduce myself."
At this moment, a slightly plump man stood at the corner of the staircase leading to the second floor, smiling and addressing the crowd below.
Those who were conversing with each other immediately stopped and turned to look at the Real Person of Gather Treasure.
Many people here are not attending a trading fair for the first time, so the process should be clear. Just stand where I am now, take out the treasure you brought, and explain its value. Those interested can bid, barter, or trade directly with money; any method is fine as long as both parties agree.
"Alright, no need for preamble, the trade fair officially begins. As tradition dictates, I'll start things off with a token." The Zhenren of Gathering Treasure smiled faintly, taking a pouch from his pocket and from within it, producing a fan-shaped object.
When he brought the item out for everyone to see, they realized it was a mirror.
This piece of mirror is clearly not complete, it's just a section of a whole mirror, and it's quite old and worn-looking.
"Let me ask you a riddle, what do you think the purpose of this cracked mirror is" Master JuBao said with a mysterious smile.
A buzz swept through the crowd. Everyone knew that anything Master Gather-Wealth pulled out would be top-notch, never anything shoddy.
“I guess it’s a magic artifact, a focusing lens, able to transform light into energy and use it for attacks.”
"It looks so dilapidated, and it's missing a large chunk... It's probably not a magic artifact, is it Maybe it's just an antique."
"How could it be an antique Have you seen the smile on the face of the Gathering Treasure Immortal I think it must be a good thing... But what does it do, I have no idea."
"Nobody guessed it Then I'll just say it." Ju Bao Zhenren played with this broken mirror, saying.
"This is a protective amulet, I don't know its true name, so I named it the Guardian Spirit Mirror," said the real person of Gathering Treasures.
A spirit-protecting mirror A protective talisman
This lousy mirror doesn't look like much of a powerful magic artifact.
A murmur arose among the crowd.
"Master Ju Bao, what does it do Can you demonstrate it" someone asked.
"Of course, there should be masters present, right Please step forward one." Said the True Person Ju Bao.
A murmur rippled through the crowd once more, and then a man in purple robes stepped forward.
"That's the Red Wolf! The master of the Red Wolf Gate! He actually came!" Someone exclaimed upon seeing this man.
The Chi Lang Sect is a sect in the Huaibei region. Known for its arrogant and domineering behavior, it has a notorious reputation in Huaibei. Many martial artists hate them deeply, but there's nothing they can do about it.
When Fang Yu was at Bai Chuan Mountain, he had already met disciples of the Chi Lang Sect.
"What do you want me to do" The Scarlet Wolf looked at the True Person Gathering Treasure and said.
"Elder Chi Lang has arrived as well, it's been a long time." Gathering Treasure True Person first smiled and greeted Elder Chi Lang. Then he turned serious and said: "Elder Chi Lang, use your true qi to blast me with a palm strike."
"A single palm strike" The Red Wolf frowned slightly.
"Well, just be careful. Just give him a good blast, don't destroy Huamanlou. Otherwise, I can't afford to pay for it," chuckled the real person of Jubao.
At the sound of Zhu Baizhen's words, there was an uproar among the crowd.
It's incredible that a well-renowned master would actually use his Qi to strike with a palm.
This power is no joke!
But at this time, the red wolf's aura had already risen.
He gathered a wisp of pale true energy in his left palm and struck out with it.
"Boom!"
True energy surged towards Treasure Master Zhen, blasting him with force!
At this moment, the fragment of a mirror in Zhu Bao Zhenren's hand suddenly emitted a golden light.
Golden light spread outwards, like a shield, enveloping the True Person of Gathering Treasure completely.
The true qi unleashed by the Red Wolf dissipated instantly upon contact with the golden light's protective barrier.
The golden light lasted for about five seconds before gradually fading away.
And even the real person Ju Bao stood still, a smile on his face, not suffering any harm at all.
A hush fell over the crowd!
This kind of self-defending amulet is the dream item for everyone present!
"Through my testing, this Spirit-Protecting Mirror's upper limit can withstand a full-powered strike from a Grandmaster," said the True Person of Gathering Treasures.
"I want to buy it! No matter how much it costs, I'm going to buy it!"
"With this artifact, it's like having several extra lives! I have to buy it!"
“A Grandmaster’s full-power strike can be blocked… This defense attribute is too strong, right”
The crowd on the first floor was buzzing with excitement, exclaiming in astonishment.
At this moment, Fang Yu's eyes were filled with shock.
He never expected to see it here, the artifact that once drove countless cultivators to madness!
In another corner on the first floor, a masked figure was also staring up at the broken mirror in True Person Jubao's hand, his grayish-white pupils gleaming!ond half, they just stopped watching. It's really itching me with curiosity now.< /I>"Fancy going back to see the commotion" Fang Yu mused, resting his chin in his hand."Boom!"Just then, a deafening r...
