"Of course."
Yao Lanxin waved her sleeves and brought Jiang Deng to another space.
This space was filled with mirrors on all sides, reflecting countless figures. Some of the Yao Lanxins in the mirror were laughing, some were crying, but Jiang Deng was the only one who had a blank expression on her face.
Jiang Deng looked around and found that there were only two of them here. "Where is this place?"
"The original space of the mirror world."
Yao Lanxin in front of him spread out her palm, on which lay a palm-sized mirror. "Here, this is your reward for answering the question correctly. It's a top-grade Earth-grade auxiliary spiritual weapon."
"Hehehe, then I won't be polite."
Jiang Deng took the small mirror and looked at it curiously.
The mirror is made entirely of silver with a circle of patterns carved on it. It looks quite nice. The most special thing is that both the front and back sides are mirrored.
Jiang Deng couldn't help but point the mirror at her face, but her face did not appear in the mirror. This was strange. This mirror was not used to look at the face, so what was it used for?
Yao Lanxin was amused by Jiang Deng's behavior and explained, "This is a mirror that reflects the heart. It doesn't reflect people's faces, but their hearts. It can distinguish between good and evil in people's hearts."
"As long as you point the back of the heart mirror at the part of the human heart that grows, the front side will reveal the color of that heart. Black represents evil, red represents good, and gray represents a mixture of good and evil."
Huh?
Jiang Deng raised his eyebrows, it sounded pretty good.
"Can I take a photo of my own, too?"
"certainly."
After receiving a positive answer, Jiang Deng couldn't wait to immerse his spiritual consciousness into the mirror and let the mirror recognize its master.
Then, she aimed the back of the heart mirror at her heart. After a burst of spiritual energy fluctuations on the front of the mirror, a picture slowly emerged.
Something shrouded in white mist was beating slowly, as if it were a heart.
Jiang Deng originally thought that someone with such a dirty heart like hers must have a very dark heart, but she never expected that her heart was not red, black, or gray, but white?
"Huh? What's going on?" Jiang Deng was extremely surprised.
Yao Lanxin was also quite surprised. After a moment's thought, she said, "This is the first time I've seen you like this. Perhaps you have your own set of standards for judging good and evil, and the Heart Mirror can't measure you. That's why your heart is shrouded in white fog and can't be seen through."
Jiang Deng nodded thoughtfully.
The mirror cannot clearly reflect her heart, but it can definitely reflect the hearts of others!
When she goes out, she will take pictures of everyone she goes with, hahaha!
Yao Lanxin looked at Jiang Deng who was eager to try and said, "You have got the things. I will take you away from here."
"Wait, I haven't taken something yet!" Jiang Deng said hurriedly.
"Um?"
Yao Lan frowned in confusion.
Jiang Deng chuckled, put the Heart Mirror into his storage bag, and said confidently, "Since the Venerable Wei Yan in the illusion was transformed by you, then the gold I gave him must also be in your hands. It's useless for you to keep it anyway, so why not give it all back to me!"
Yao Lanxin: “…”
This person is really stingy to a certain extent. He even has the nerve to ask for things back after giving them away. If this person didn't understand her so well, she really wouldn't want to bother with him!
"You are so generous." Yao Lanxin gave Jiang Deng a blank look.
Jiang Deng raised his head with a self-satisfied look on his face. "Of course. I've always been generous to my friends."
Too lazy to argue with Jiang Deng, who was like a piece of meat on a rolling knife, Yao Lanxin took out the handful of gold that Jiang Deng had given her before and said unhappily, "I'll give it back to you. You want to leave now, right?"
After Jiang Deng accepted the gold, he smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have something to give you too."
"Um?"
Yao Lanxin blinked in confusion. Jiang Deng was just a Jindan realm cultivator. What could he give her that she needed?
Jiang Deng didn't take the item out immediately, but changed the subject. "Instead of continuing to wait in the dark in the Soul Locking Tower, you can still choose another life if you wait until the Venerable Wei Yan in the upper realm can no longer bear the loneliness and finally remembers you and resurrects you."
"The Soul Locking Tower is now ownerless, and unlike the old vine on the first floor, your soul is not bound by the Soul Locking Tower. You can leave the Soul Locking Tower at any time, go to the Netherworld to reincarnate, and resurrect yourself."
Yao Lanxin bit her lip tightly. "But if I reincarnate, it means I have to cleanse all my cultivation and memories. Before I kill that unfaithful man, I don't want to escape like a coward by reincarnating!"
Hearing the satisfactory answer, Jiang Deng curled his lips and smiled, "What a coincidence, I can help you with this."
"What?" Yao Lanxin looked at Jiang Deng with a puzzled look on her face. "What on earth are you talking about?"
"I'll give you something you can use."
Jiang Deng's consciousness sank into the storage bag. After rummaging through a pile of debris for a long time, he finally took out a red ball the size of a fist.
It was the inner elixir of the fire-swallowing red dragon that she obtained from the extinct volcano in the secret realm.
Jiang Deng handed the inner elixir to Yao Lanxin, "The Flame-Swallowing Red Flood Dragon is a low-grade Heavenly Grade Spirit Beast. The inner elixirs of Heavenly Grade Spirit Beasts all carry inheritance. All you need to do is fuse this inner elixir with your soul, seal your cultivation and memories within it, and carry it with you when you reincarnate. You can escape the ability of the water of samsara to cleanse your soul."
“…Thank you.”
Yao Lanxin took the inner elixir, her hands trembling with excitement. She really didn't expect that Jiang Deng, a cultivator in the Jindan realm, was so knowledgeable and even knew this secret that she had never heard of.
"Go ahead."
Jiang Deng looked at Yao Lanxin with a smile.
If Yao Lanxin had refused to return the gold to Jiang Deng, she would naturally not have given it away again. Fortunately, Yao Lanxin did not make the wrong choice.
"Um."
Yao Lanxin nodded excitedly, then she slowly closed her eyes, drawing out the negative energy that was all over the world in the mirror, as well as the negative energy from everyone in the outside world.
With the influx of Yin Qi, the inner elixir gradually merged with Yao Lanxin.
A crimson circular mark appeared between Yao Lanxin's originally smooth and flawless eyebrows, as dazzling as the scorching sun, adding a bit of gorgeousness to her originally unremarkable appearance.
Yao Lanxin's soul slowly flew upwards. Her expression changed from the previous gloom and resentment to become calm and peaceful. She said softly, "Jiang Deng, we will meet in the next life."
Jiang Deng smiled back, "I believe that day won't be too far away."
Yao Lanxin smiled with relief and disappeared.
Click, click—
The sound of mirrors shattering rang out one after another. The next moment, everyone was forcibly driven out of the mirror world and returned to the second floor of the Soul Locking Tower.
The mirrors that had originally covered the second level had disappeared, replaced by stone walls. At the end of everyone's sight was a flight of bluestone steps leading to the third level of the Soul Locking Tower...
