The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 1209 The Power of Moonlight
While saying "Be careful," Yun Ran began to take out more demon cores from her bag.

The little princess puppet immediately scattered the demon cores.

Soon, the entire empty, damp, dark, and oppressive space became bright and cheerful.

Yunran looked at the surrounding stone walls and saw obvious chisel marks, as well as several inefficiently functioning arrays hidden in the shadows.

The surprise that had been in her eyes was gone at this moment.

It seems that no matter what abilities the first city lord of Yuehua City possessed, she was no longer surprised.

"Master, what do we do now? That passage over there should be the place where we can explore the secret..."

As she spoke, the little princess puppet clearly looked eager to try, wishing she could rush over there immediately.

It was activated by Yunran, and it carries a trace of Yunran's habits in its bones, especially fond of causing trouble.

(Yun Ran quickly shook her head: No, I didn't...)
"Wait first!"

The little princess puppet was a little confused, but her master's orders were the first thing she had to obey, so she immediately waited obediently to the side.

Yunran carefully sensed the situation here. It had a very cold and gloomy feeling, but it was very clean, without a trace of dirt.

I don't know if this place was cleared out a long time ago, or if it's because of those formations.

Seeing that she would soon find out what the secret hidden in Moonflower City was, Yunran was no longer in a hurry.

What she wanted to know more about now was what power kept the formation running.

Yunran took out a timer to check the time, then took out a recliner and lay down.

The little princess puppet was quite perceptive; she immediately stepped forward to massage Yunran's back and shoulders, working as diligently as a little bee.

Yunran took out another thin blanket, covered herself with it, and closed her eyes to rest.

I didn't feel anything when I was walking down, but now that I've stopped, the soreness in my legs is starting to appear.

Given Yunran's current physical condition, she wouldn't have developed these symptoms unless she had walked for a very, very long time.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Yunran opened her eyes only when she heard a very low buzzing sound in her ears.

The little princess puppet's eyes suddenly turned to the arrays that looked like they were about to perish.

Suddenly, a soft beam of moonlight, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, fell upon the array formations.

Those inefficient formations, which looked like they were about to perish, seemed to have received an energy boost and immediately came back to life.

At the same time, it burst forth with intense light, directly overshadowing the light of the demon cores placed in various locations.

If the original light of the demon core was already dazzling, then...

Now, compared to the formation that is receiving energy replenishment, the light of the demon core is negligible.

Yunran quickly took out a ribbon and covered her eyes. The light emitted by the formation immediately became less dazzling.

"Master, this... the formation of Moonlit City is actually supplied by moonlight..."

No wonder this city is called Moonlit City. It operates by the power of the moon, so calling it Moonlit City is quite realistic.

Suddenly, Yunran recalled the 'miracle' they had witnessed at Wuhuang Mountain.

At this moment, everything seemed to make sense: why the Dragon Spirit could sense the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book at Five Emperors Mountain.

It now appears that the aura of the Heavenly Book wasn't found on Mount Wuhuang. Rather, it was the array formation of Moonflower City that, through a connecting crack on Mount Wuhuang, absorbed the power of moonlight, thus revealing the aura of the Heavenly Book.

The first city lord of Moonflower City clearly knew something about the Heavenly Book, which is why he was able to borrow the power of Moonflower.

Thinking of something, Yunran took out the first formatted bronze mirror she had stolen.

At this moment, this bronze mirror has very few functions. Apart from being able to reflect the true forms of other living beings, it is just like an ordinary bronze mirror.

Yunran still remembered that the reason this bronze mirror was formatted was because she asked about the whereabouts of the Heavenly Book.

Now, Yunran is almost certain that these twelve bronze mirrors were probably acquired by the first city lord.

Its purpose, I suppose, is to protect the location of Moonflower City.

As for why these bronze mirrors were scattered later, there is probably a history of struggle that could fill several books.

However, one thing is certain: these bronze mirrors, like those of the previous participants in the selection competition, cannot reveal any related secrets; otherwise, they will only face death.

Therefore, the formatted bronze mirror in her hand would be considered dead if it were placed on a human.

If one's intelligence is erased, isn't that the same as being dead?

Thinking of these things, a surprising light suddenly flashed in Yun Ran's eyes.

She is getting closer and closer to the Heavenly Book.

Now, Yunran's purpose in finding the Heavenly Book has evolved beyond simply wanting to resolve her somewhat strange fate.

She became determined to uncover the truth of everything, wondering if she was someone who had deliberately dragged her into this world of the book.

There was a loud 'bang'.

A demon core brimming with energy exploded without warning.

Yunran: ...

Logically speaking, if such a demon core were only used for lighting, its lifespan would be at least several hundred years, and it would be a very stable light source.

But now, this perfectly good demon core has just exploded.

Yun Ran's voice revealed a hint of heartache: "Go and collect all the other demon cores!"

She obtained quite a few demon cores back in the Death Mountain, but with such high-quality demon cores, once one is wasted, there will be one less left.

Not to mention, if it's blown up, it's completely ruined.

They can't even recycle materials used for drawing talismans; it's such a waste!

The little princess puppet clearly knew that her master's greed for money could sometimes be absurd.

Naturally, they acted quickly and collected all the demon cores in no time.

"The array formation in Moonflower City truly lives up to its reputation. Not only can it detect the existence of the paper doll, but it can also cause the inner core of a thousand-year-old demon to explode without anyone noticing!"

If a thousand-year-old demon were to transform into human form and try to infiltrate Moonflower City, it would be killed in no time.

tsk tsk~
Now Yunran could understand why Yuehua City held such a high position among the Xuan Masters.

　There will only be one update today.
