Three years ago, a group of mysterious people annihilated the Ye family. He survived by luck but was thrown into prison, where by chance, he became the disciple of five masters...
Three years...
"You wouldn't happen to be a shill for Manager Zhao, would you?"
"Yeah, that's really weird!"
"I still don't believe it..."
People around them started talking.
Manager Zhao smiled and said, "You'll believe it in a moment... Alright, who's next?"
"I'll do it!"
A burly man stepped forward.
Manager Zhao handed the snake-patterned ghost mirror to the burly man, who muttered, "Is it really that scary? I don't believe in such nonsense!"
After saying that, the burly man raised his arms and held the snake-patterned ghost mirror out to the side, staring intently at the mirror with his copper bell-like eyes.
Within moments, the burly man was trembling all over, and a look of fear appeared on his face.
Moreover, his mouth was opening and closing, but he couldn't make a sound, as if he was calling for help but was being choked by some invisible and terrifying thing, so that he couldn't make a sound!
"My God, this is really that weird!"
"I'm starting to believe it now!"
"I still don't quite believe it, unless I see it with my own eyes!"
People around them commented and talked about it.
Seeing that the burly man was about to lose his breath, Manager Zhao finally went over, patted him on the shoulder, and pulled him out of his terror.
"So, did you see a ghost?" Manager Zhao asked with a smile.
The burly man said with lingering fear, "A ghost! There really is a female ghost in the mirror! Manager Zhao wasn't lying!"
"Of course I'm not lying. If this mirror didn't have a special feature, why would I value it so much and consider it my store's prized possession?" Manager Zhao said proudly.
Over the next half hour, everyone present tried it.
After experiencing the terror of the snake-patterned ghost mirror, they no longer doubted that they saw a female ghost in the mirror.
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing were both very curious.
At that moment, Manager Zhao had already looked over at them.
“Didn’t you say my shop didn’t have anything good? Well, now you can try it too, so you won’t accuse me of hiring people to put on an act and cheat you,” Manager Zhao said.
"Come on then, who's afraid of who?"
After saying that, Jiang Lingxuan strode over and took the snake-patterned ghost mirror from Manager Zhao's hands.
Following the example of those people, Jiang Lingxuan held the snake-patterned ghost mirror horizontally and stared at its surface.
A moment later, a look of surprise appeared on Jiang Lingxuan's face.
But she was only surprised; Jiang Lingxuan was not frightened.
Moreover, she didn't even need Manager Zhao to pat her awake; she simply put the mirror down herself and returned it to Manager Zhao.
“There really is a ghost inside! A female ghost!” Jiang Lingxuan said, patting her chest.
"Let me take a look too."
Sun Muqing became even more curious and took the mirror from Steward Zhao to examine it.
A moment later, Sun Muqing put down the mirror and said, "Indeed, I saw that female ghost too, it was so scary..."
The people around looked at each other in bewilderment.
Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing didn't seem scared at all.
The two women were so calm and composed, they were so much better than these men!
Manager Zhao was also surprised by Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing's calm reaction. He hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively, "Are you two both martial artists?"
"You just realized that?" Jiang Lingxuan laughed.
Manager Zhao suddenly realized what was happening, and his attitude became much more respectful.
After bowing, Steward Zhao continued, "So you two ladies are martial artists. No wonder you are so calm. I was being presumptuous."
"It's alright." Jiang Lingxuan waved her hand casually.
Now, only Ye Feng hasn't tested this snake-patterned ghost mirror.
Jiang Lingxuan then looked at Ye Feng and asked with a smile, "Ye Feng, would you like to give it a try?"
"Since you've all tried it, of course I want to see it too."
Ye Feng smiled and walked up to Steward Zhao, raising his hand and saying, "Steward Zhao, may I borrow the treasure mirror for a look?"
Manager Zhao certainly wouldn't refuse.
He already knew that Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing were martial artists, so how could he not guess that Ye Feng was also a martial artist?
Which female martial artist would condescend to marry an ordinary man?
Not to mention, Ye Feng was accompanied not only by one female martial artist, but also by Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing.
Even if Ye Feng claimed that he was not a martial artist but an ordinary mortal, Manager Zhao would absolutely not believe him at this moment.
After receiving the snake-patterned ghost mirror from Manager Zhao, Ye Feng examined it closely.
Under Ye Feng's keen observation, not a single detail in the snake-patterned ghost mirror escaped his eyes!
"Just as I thought..."
The night breeze smiled and murmured to itself.
At that moment, the mirror flashed and a red light appeared.
A female ghost dressed in a bright red robe and with disheveled hair appeared in the reflection of the snake-patterned ghost mirror.
The female ghost's eyes were bloody and mangled, as if her eyeballs had been gouged out. She stretched out her two pale hands from the mirror and grabbed at Ye Feng's neck, as if she wanted to strangle him.
"What's so great about a mere illusion? Break it!"
With a soft gust of night wind, the illusion vanished without a trace, as if it had never existed.
Night Breeze returned the snake-patterned ghost mirror to Steward Zhao and said with a smile, "Your mirror is indeed a treasure, but to be more precise, it should be called a broken spiritual artifact."
"A damaged spiritual artifact?" Manager Zhao's face showed surprise.
"Yes, this magical artifact is used to attack opponents using illusion magic. It is between the sixth and seventh grade, but because it is incomplete, I call it a broken magical artifact. In addition, due to its age, the spiritual energy contained within it has almost dissipated, so its illusion magic is pitifully weak."
"Only mortals who have never cultivated can be affected by it and trapped by illusions; no martial artist can be trapped by it."
"In about seven or eight years, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in this mirror will completely dissipate, and then it will truly have no magical properties left. Of course, if you can ask a martial artist to replenish its spiritual energy, then its magical properties can be preserved. But this mirror is actually of no use to martial artists."
Night Breeze stopped there.
Manager Zhao was caught in a dilemma.
He finally understood why his snake-patterned ghost mirror could see female ghosts; it turned out to be a magical artifact, and the female ghost inside was actually an illusion.
"Lingxuan, Muqing, let's go," Yefeng said with a smile.
Jiang Lingxuan hummed in agreement and came to Ye Feng's side with Sun Muqing. Together they left the antique shop and went to visit the next one.
Suddenly, the scholar shouted, "I remember who these three people are! They are all martial artists at the Separation and Union Realm, and they even registered in the central square. They will be participating in the martial arts competition tomorrow!"
