Mortal Mirror

The group arrived at Chicken Cry Town and immediately had the town chief take men and carts to bring back Head Constable Wang and the others.

By the time everyone returned to Bitter Water County, it was nearly evening. Everyone was exhausted from this operation. After returning to Bitter Water County, Li Ergou only had people take a headcount of the losses and then went home.

Back home, after resting for a while, he ate two bowls of turtle jelly before replenishing his energy.

Unfortunately, all the prepared turtle jelly was used up. He still had several hundred pounds of turtle meat on hand, thinking that he should buy some more medicinal herbs tomorrow to make more turtle jelly. He found that the speed at which this turtle jelly replenished his energy was truly amazing, comparable to miraculous pills.

Calming down, he immediately took out the Candle Dragon Cult's token. After thinking about it, he also replicated it.

Then, after looking at it, he decided to hand over the corpses of the Snow Ape, Yellow Weasel, Fox Wolf, and Wu Dazhi, along with the original token, tomorrow. This should be a great achievement, but he didn't know if the county commandant would issue any rewards.

In any case, it was a great achievement, no doubt about it.

At this time, he took out the wisp of sword intent. He looked at it, pondered for a moment, and then threw it into the bronze mirror to replicate.

He also took out the replicated small bottle and the firefly inside.

He looked at the firefly's tail flashing, which was extremely beautiful, and he was happy in his heart.

He opened the bottle, and the firefly immediately flew out. Li Ergou cast a hand seal, trapping it in place, and then used the Soul Tethering Art on it, separating some of his divine sense and entering the insect's sea of consciousness.

After his divine sense entered the firefly's sea of consciousness, it began to merge with its weak divine thoughts. It took a full hour for Li Ergou's divine sense to completely merge with the firefly's divine thoughts.

At this moment, with a thought, he could control this firefly, making it fly when he wanted it to fly and stop when he wanted it to stop. It was very obedient.

What excited him the most was, of course, being able to obtain the firefly's vision.

With the help of the firefly's vision, he could see higher and farther, and this perception was not disturbed by anything. He tried it and found that he could let the firefly fly up to a thousand meters away from him.

Flying outside, he saw the black cat rush out of the courtyard with a whoosh and merge into the darkness. He didn't know what it was going to do on Bitter Mountain again.

Black Beard was actually worshiping the moon, constantly absorbing the power of moonlight. The moonlight seemed to turn into a river of light that was absorbed into its belly. Li Ergou was surprised, not expecting that Black Beard the goat would also have such a cultivation method.

Inside Mei'er's room, she actually revealed her true form, turning into a motley red fox. At this moment, she opened her mouth, and a red pellet was moving up and down, constantly cycling back and forth. This was a unique cultivation method of the fox clan.

This method was called Golden Elixir Moon Worship. The pellet absorbed the power of moonlight and was constantly refined. Eventually, it would be refined from an ordinary pellet into a golden elixir.

The firefly only stayed for a moment before continuing to fly. He soon saw the spirit soil he bought, which was emitting a faint glow in the darkness.

He had the firefly fly around the courtyard and then flew towards Bitter Mountain.

Looking at the scenery along the way, he was very happy. He thought that this thing was simply an unparalleled reconnaissance weapon. With it, it was as if he had several more pairs of eyes.

Suddenly, he actually heard sounds with the firefly's ears. He heard the birds chirping on Bitter Mountain and the squeaking sounds of mice fighting. He couldn't help but feel amazed, as if Ye Wanwan's fireflies could only see images and couldn't hear sounds.

It seemed that it must be the mirror's credit. After replication, the insect mutated and became more perfect.

Li Ergou's joy was beyond words.

He felt like he had discovered a fun toy and played with it for a while before putting the firefly away. Unfortunately, this sword intent was really extraordinary. It had been so long, but it still hadn't come out.

Li Ergou knew that the more precious something was, the longer it would take for the bronze mirror to replicate it, so this sword intent was really very precious.

He sat cross-legged and inspected his body, sighing in his heart that the liquids he had obtained from the Longevity Well had not been completely refined yet. These things were really resistant to refinement.

He planned to fully refine these things after the New Year, making sure to refine them all. These things were treasures that could make his muscles, bones, skin, internal organs, and dantian qi sea even stronger.

At this moment, it was already the middle of the night, and Li Ergou also felt sleepy, falling asleep drowsily.

The next morning, he woke up before dawn. At that moment, the bronze mirror flashed, and two balls of white light appeared. Li Ergou saw that it was sword intent. He didn't expect it to take so long this time.

He happily picked up the two balls of sword intent, felt the replicated sword intent, and then his face changed, revealing ecstasy. This ball of sword intent did not contain any baleful aura. It was very pure, without a trace of impurities.

It was like a blank sheet of paper, allowing you to attach your own thoughts to it at will. This was simply priceless.

For a moment, he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

Looking at the ball of sword intent full of baleful aura, resentment, and bloodiness, he didn't hesitate to directly crush it, letting it dissipate and turn into specks of spiritual light falling down.

What horrified him was that the place where the sword intent fell was directly twisted into a large pit by the sword intent. At this moment, the sword intents were completely dissipated.

He sighed in his heart at the power of this sword intent.

He looked at the sword intent in his hand and immediately put it into a jade box and sealed it, preparing to refine it after he was done with this period.

At this moment, the door was knocked, and it was Mei'er's voice saying, "Young Master, the food is ready. It's time to eat."

Li Ergou was happy in his heart, not expecting that he could also live a life where he could open his mouth to eat. For a moment, he felt happy in his heart, with indescribable flavors.

Coming outside, he didn't expect Mei'er to make a lot of delicious food: stir-fried eggs, steamed eggs, ginseng stewed hen, and braised pork belly.

Li Ergou exclaimed, "It's really rich! By the way, where did you get this ginseng? It seems to be quite old."

Mei'er smiled slightly and said, "I am familiar with this Bitter Mountain. I naturally know where to find anything. This ginseng is fifty years old, but your chickens have completely ruined Bitter Mountain. I think that in a few years, there will be nothing left on Bitter Mountain."

Li Ergou looked embarrassed and naturally didn't know what to say. After all, he was counting on these chickens to live a good life, so he could only say, "It doesn't matter. If there are no wild animals, we can buy them. With money, what can't we buy?

By the way, when can you truly cultivate into human form? It's too uncomfortable to wear a skull all day long."

Mei'er revealed a trace of sorrow and said, "It is extremely difficult for us demon creatures to refine into human form. Fortunately, we fox clan are blessed by heaven and do not need to reach such a high level of cultivation as other demon beasts in order to transform into human form.

We have unique advantages. As long as we refine the pellet in our belly into a true golden elixir, we can transform into human form. Unfortunately, the road is long and arduous. I think it will take three to five hundred years."

Li Ergou broke out in a sweat. Three to five hundred years, she said it so easily! Fortunately, these demons have a much longer lifespan than humans, so he was relieved.

It must be said that Mei'er's cooking is good. Every dish is fragrant, which is a skill that he cannot match. He was really afraid that she would make his taste too picky.

After eating, Li Ergou gave Mei'er some instructions and hurried to the county government office.
