When Su Rui vividly recounted his past with Taoist Qiao San, and the tragic experience of being kidnapped by Taoist Qiao San and forced to be his disciple after the war, the woman in red fell silent after listening.
Then, she asked some details about the ghost army's siege of Tongqu County, as if to confirm something, and finally nodded and said, "I believe what you say."
Su Rui had already been sweating profusely from her questions, but he finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard her words. Many of the woman's questions hit the nail on the head. He had deliberately skipped over some things Su Rui didn't dare to mention, such as the fact that the Black Mountain Divine Lord had given him the Black Mountain Divine Seal. What if they found out and tried to kill people for the treasure?!
In truth, he didn't know the origins of the Kunlun Sect, otherwise he would have spoken more boldly. Rumor has it that the Kunlun Sect dates back to ancient times, often boasting of being the foremost of the prestigious and authentic sects. While they may not possess a renowned sword, they possess a third of the sect's arsenal of renowned magical weapons and well-known, top-tier techniques. Black Mountain isn't a renowned mountain, and it's separated from Kunlun by a considerable distance. Even if Su Rui had mentioned it, others might not have taken it seriously.
Of course, people’s hearts are hidden, and no one can predict some things for sure. Being conservative is indeed the key to longevity!
The woman in red thought for a moment, then pulled out a palm-sized mirror from under her sleeve. The back was carved with insects, fish, birds, and beasts made of an unknown black material, and the front glowed with black fluorescence. She handed it to Su Rui and said, "This is the embryo of a magical weapon I refined by imitating the acquired treasure, the Zhenshen Mirror. I have already removed the Qi imprint within it. You only need to leave the Qi imprint to use it."
Su Rui took the mirror and injected a stream of Xuanyin Qi into it. He found that it had already been set up with three restrictions. It was considered a small top-grade magic weapon among low-level magic weapons. Moreover, there was indeed no Qi imprint inside. He used the Xuanyin Qi to easily leave his own mark.
After confirming that everything was fine, Su Rui bowed slightly to the woman in red to express his gratitude.
"Let's write off the matter this time. There's no more debt owed to each other!"
"See you in the rivers and lakes!"
The matter was settled, so there was no point in staying any longer. Su Rui clasped his fists and said goodbye. Without waiting for the red-clothed woman's consent, he turned around and left the red-clothed woman's cave.
The woman in red smiled and bowed gently to his back, but the boy and girl looked at his leaving back with a hint of resentment.
"Master, even if he was forced, he's just a child who's been led astray. Why would you give him the Town Divine Mirror you've painstakingly refined?" the boy couldn't help but ask. You know, the God-Suppressing Mirror and the God-Slaying Whip are from the same series of acquired treasures. As their names suggest, one can suppress the Primordial Spirit, while the other can lash the Primordial Spirit regardless of defense. The God-Slaying Whip, due to its frequent appearances, appears imposing and awe-inspiring. In reality, the God-Suppressing Mirror is no less powerful than the God-Slaying Whip; it's a top-tier magical weapon capable of immobilizing even the Primordial Spirit of a True Person at the Primordial Spirit Realm, demonstrating its immense power.
"It's okay to give it to him. I have left some hidden tricks on it. If the other party uses this mirror to do justice, it's fine. But if he uses it for evil purposes and we see it, we can take control of the mirror in an instant. Then we only need to detonate the magic weapon to destroy him completely!" said the woman in red with deep eyes.
Su Rui couldn't hear their conversation. After emerging from the woman's cave, he realized the villa's location was indeed ingenious. Outside, a vast sea of clouds stretched out before him. Above it, the only peaks peeked out, covered in snow. The setting sun, a color like salted egg yolk, hung to the west, casting a golden glow on the sea. It was truly a breathtakingly beautiful scene.
The only flaw is that on the other side of the sea of clouds, about a hundred miles away from the woman's villa, there is a rolling black and red cloud, like a drop of ink in the white sea of clouds, which is a bit annoying.
Su Rui guessed that it must be an active volcano.
Su Rui did not stay outside Beppu to avoid further trouble. He walked down the clouds along a small ravine, then looked around, looking for and comparing the scenery. Finally, he confirmed that this location was about fifty miles away from the gate of Heshan Road, which was just at the limit of the range of activities set for him by Taoist Qiao San.
When he was tied up and taken away, the tiger wasn't brought along, so it must have already fled far away. In other words, if he didn't find another mount, he would probably have to walk back and try to measure the distance of fifty miles on foot!
On his way down the mountain, he discovered quite a few birds of prey, but these were either circling in the sky or perched on the cliffs, making it impossible to catch them.
As they reached the mountainside, they began to see more green weeds and other plants, as well as more small animals. Su Rui saw birds with colorful tail feathers, squirrels with cheeks stuffed with pine nuts, and a number of playful monkeys throwing sour fruits at him.
The small animals here are not afraid of people. It is probably because they live in a sparsely populated area and have not had much contact with humans, so they have not yet felt the malice of humans towards them.
When he was almost at the foot of the mountain, Su Rui suddenly heard voices. He was a little surprised. After walking towards the sound, he found that it was a leopard and a deer discussing transformation.
The little deer was very alert and discovered Suri as soon as she came over.
"Yo yo~ There are human beings! Run..." It called out habitually, and wanted to run as fast as it could.
However, Su Rui took a look at it with the "Mori Golden Light Pupil" and froze it.
A leopard on the other side was about to run away, but when it saw its companion suddenly frozen, it immediately showed a ferocious look on its face and bared its teeth, ready to pounce. However, Su Rui took out a mirror and looked at it, and it was also frozen immediately.
