Chapter 189 The Magic Mirror Tells Me

The underground river isn't very deep, but the fragments of the mirror are so small that they're not easy to find if you're just searching aimlessly.

Fortunately, the entire stone island was the core of the array that sealed the fragments of the Douxuan Treasure Mirror. After the barrier was broken, a large hole appeared at the bottom of the stone island. Water and sand did not seep into the hole, and only a palm-sized silver fragment lay in it, reflecting the shimmering light.

"found it!"

As the sound of water breaking rang out, Coral flew out of the water holding the fragment of the Douxuan Treasure Mirror, splashing huge sprays of water all over the stone island.

As soon as she stepped ashore, Coral couldn't wait to ask, "May I ask, senior, how should I inquire?"

Jun Chou said, "You'd better think it over. There's a price to pay for getting the answer from the Douxuan Treasure Mirror. You can either exchange it for something it doesn't know, or you can trade it for one of your three souls and seven spirits."

"I……"

Coral clearly hadn't expected such a high price to be paid, and immediately hesitated.

"Let me ask for you!"

Bai Chenxue suddenly said, "We are not afraid of giving up our souls, and I know many things that the Douxuan Treasure Mirror doesn't know, so I will ask for you without losing anything!"

Coral refused to believe it: "How could you know something that even the Mysterious Mirror doesn't know?"

Bai Chenxue said urgently, "Oh, it's true! Because we are from the Blue Star Realm! The Douxuan Treasure Mirror doesn't even know what's going on in the Blue Star Realm! If you don't believe me, ask Senior Junchou!"

Seeing how seriously Bai Chenxue was speaking, Coral looked at Jun Chou with a mixture of belief and doubt.

Jun Chou nodded, giving an affirmative answer: "She is right. The Douxuan Treasure Mirror can only know about things in the Guixu Realm, not about things outside the Guixu Realm. Therefore, they do know a lot of knowledge that can be used to trade with the Douxuan Treasure Mirror."

Bai Chenxue proudly raised her head: "See? See? That's why I can ask for you!"

Coral was still a little embarrassed, but his eagerness made him shamelessly hand over the mirror shards: "Then, I'll have to trouble you, fellow Daoist..."

Bai Chenxue took the fragment and said, "No trouble at all! What do you want to ask? Do you want to know if Lord Douxuan is still alive?"

"No, no need, just ask..." Coral first denied, then hesitated for a moment before saying, "Just ask if our Xiling Clan's Thunder Ancestor Lady... is still in the Guixu Realm!"

"No problem! Senior Junchou, how do we use this fragment of the mirror?"

Jun Chou replied, "Just ask it directly, but remember to add a sentence, offering something it doesn't know in exchange, otherwise it will assume it will absorb your soul."

"okay!"

As Bai Chenxue spoke, she placed the shards of the mirror in front of her eyes, just enough to see her own face clearly—

The face I sculpted is actually quite cute!
In an instant, Bai Chenxue thought this.

But that didn't stop her from clearing her throat and asking the mirror, "Mirror, mirror, tell me, is the Thunder Goddess of the Xiling Clan still in the Guixu Realm? Oh, by the way, I want to exchange something you don't know!"

As Bai Chenxue finished speaking, ripples appeared on the silvery-white mirror, and then a word appeared on it: No.

Coral had already circled around to Bai Chenxue's side and saw the word as well. He was immediately disappointed and muttered to himself, "Sigh, I'm so stupid. I should have just asked where Lei Zu Niangniang is!"

Jun Chou then reminded Bai Chenxue, "It's time for you to tell it things it doesn't know."

"Oh, well, let me think..."

Bai Chenxue's eyes darted around, and she said, "One of the four great classical novels of the Blue Star Realm is 'Journey to the West'!" After saying that, she turned to look at Jun Chou and asked cautiously, "Hey, does this count?"

Jun Chou smiled and reassured him, "As long as it returns to its normal mirror appearance, that's fine."

Sure enough, just as Jun Chou was speaking, the words on the mirror began to tremble, then gradually faded away, and finally the entire mirror returned to normal.

Bai Chenxue exclaimed in delight, "It really works!"

"It's my turn! It's my turn! I want to play too!"

Seeing this, Jia Xiaoren quickly snatched the shards of the mirror, and then, imitating Bai Chenxue's actions, turned the mirror face towards himself and said, "Precious mirror, precious mirror, tell me, where is the Thunder Goddess of the Xiling Clan? I also want to exchange something you don't know!"

Jun Chou couldn't help but speak up: "Uh... actually, you don't need to keep saying 'precious mirror, precious mirror' every time..."

"Ah, I just added it randomly! As for my master, hmph, he's a master copycat!"

As Bai Chenxue spoke, she curiously leaned over and looked at the mirror.

The mirror surface was no longer rippling; instead, a strange scene appeared—

It was a huge vortex, and in the distorted scene, various landscapes could be vaguely seen, including snow-capped mountains, grasslands, and vast forests.

A woman dressed in a strange cloth skirt was about to pass through the vortex, but just as everyone stared wide-eyed at the image in the mirror, the woman seemed to sense their gaze. She turned around and smiled, as if greeting the players outside the mirror image, before stepping into the vortex.

Once the woman's figure completely disappeared into the vortex, the mirror surface returned to its state of continuous ripples.

Jia Xiaoren hurriedly said, "The first word in the College English Test Band 4 vocabulary list for Chinese people on Blue Star is 'abandon'!"

Zhen Junzi was stunned: "This works?!"

However, the gradually returning mirror surface tells everyone: it actually works!

Even Zhen Junzi couldn't resist watching: "It's my turn! It's my turn!"

Jia Xiaoren handed over the mirror, and Zhen Junzi said impatiently, "I want to ask, how can I obtain a large number of spirit stones? By exchanging knowledge!"

This time, the ripples on the mirror flashed by, revealing an unexpected word: snatch.

Zhen Junzi immediately wailed, "No way! Robbery in the game will get you a red name!"

Jun Chou coughed a few times and said, "Cough cough, the Douxuan Treasure Mirror will only give the appropriate answer, but it will not consider whether the answer can bring good results. Sometimes, in just a short while, what you get in the end may be contrary to what you seek."

"No way! Looks like we'll have to add all sorts of restrictions!"

Zhen Junzi frowned, then said unwillingly, "Then let me add some conditions! Mirror, what is a legal and reasonable way to obtain a large number of spirit stones without stealing or robbing, without causing any short-term or long-term negative impact on me?"

Jun Chou said again, "I'm just reminding you that each person can only use the Douxuan Treasure Mirror once every seven days. Also, you haven't mentioned the exchange you're going to make!"

"Ugh... how could they do this! That's so stingy!"

Zhen Junzi's disappointment was evident, but he still added, "The next line after 'Imperial Jade Liquor' is one hundred and eighty per cup!"

After Zhen Junzi finished speaking, the mirror shards finally returned to their normal mirror appearance.
