Mortal Mirror

Alright, Li Ergou felt that this price was acceptable. With a grand wave of his hand, he took out a large pile of silver, a full ninety-eight thousand taels! It looked like a small mountain as it was dumped on the ground.

Chen Dapan was dumbfounded, the map in his hand falling to the ground. He looked at Li Ergou in disbelief, somewhat astonished, "Are constables these days so rich?"

Half an hour later, Li Ergou and Chen Bajin walked out of the Ministry of Revenue's office under Chen Dapan's envious gaze.

Li Ergou had an extra land deed in his hand. He felt happy, thinking that from now on, he was also a person with a mountain, and it felt so good to have money. If only his parents were still here, they would definitely be very happy to see him as he is now.

Having obtained such a large mountain, he decided to expand his chicken farming business from now on, and bring his second uncle's family over to help.

Having accomplished such a great thing, Li Ergou naturally had to treat Chen Bajin to a big drink. Early the next morning, Li Ergou couldn't wait to have Chen Bajin take him to Orange Mountain.

Orange Mountain was behind Fish City, only about three miles away. Standing in any direction in Fish City, you could see the mountain.

From a distance, you could see a golden area on the mountain, which was the orange grove.

Arriving at the foot of the mountain, it was about five hundred meters high, not very high. The mountain was mostly covered with cypress, ironwood, and sandalwood trees, which were planted later by that official, so the trees were not very old.

A stone road was specially built from the foot of the mountain to the middle of the mountain. Arriving at the middle of the mountain, the terrain was flat, with an orange grove covering an area of about thirty acres.

At this moment, the orange tree leaves were golden, and the branches were covered with many oranges. Each of these oranges was the size of a human head. Under the sunlight, they shimmered with golden light, which was especially beautiful.

Jing'er picked one at random. It had a thin skin and thick flesh. Taking a bite, it was sweet and sour, and very delicious. Jing'er couldn't help but praised, "This is so delicious."

Chen Bajin picked one at random and said, "Hehe, this is a new variety cultivated by farm disciples, named Golden Orange. If you take it out to sell, one orange can be sold for thirty copper coins. Can it not be delicious? It's almost worth the price of a pound of meat."

Li Ergou looked at the orange trees all over the mountain, thinking that these oranges could also be sold for a lot of money. However, he would naturally not sell such good things. He would store them all in the mirror and keep them for later.

The stone road ran through the orange grove. Walking out of the orange grove, there was a huge courtyard not far ahead. This was obviously a flat area that had been excavated by someone with great effort.

The entire land covered an area of dozens of acres. There were no walls, only dozens of houses, and in the center of those houses was a two-story pavilion.

In the upper left of the courtyard, there was a pond covering an area of more than one acre, which was specially diverted from the mountain stream, and it was very clear.

Seeing this courtyard, Li Ergou liked it very much. With such a big mountain, he must raise more chickens.

Standing here and looking up at the mountain, you could see that there were still two to three hundred meters to the top of the mountain. The forest there began to be dense, and most of them were old trees, each of which was very thick. Li Ergou was not interested in continuing to move forward. Everyone explored here and left.

The next day, Li Ergou found a lot of people to pick oranges. Although this kind of orange was delicious, the yield was not high. Each tree could only bear a dozen or so. In this thirty-acre orange grove, there were only more than a thousand orange trees, and a total of more than thirteen thousand oranges were picked.

Overall, the harvest was good. Copying it in the bronze mirror would double it to more than 20,000. Thinking about it, I'm afraid this harvest will be enough for him to eat for a long time. Forget it, eating oranges is too much effort. When I have time, I'll let Mei'er squeeze them into orange juice.

After seeing his Orange Mountain, Li Ergou left Fish City with Jing'er in the afternoon.

Three days later, in Bitter Water County, at the Bitter Mountain Courtyard, Li Ergou was cleaning up the corpse of the Golden Toad Old Ancestor, skinning it, and pulling out the tendons. Toad skin has medicinal value, but he can't use it, so he can take it to the Spirit Item Pavilion to sell.

The meat was directly boiled with the big medicine. Before long, he finished everything, and the medicine pot began to bubble.

Mei'er liked Jing'er very much. The two girls got along very well and were making orange juice together. Li Ergou planned to make half of the oranges into juice. The two girls raised their hands in agreement, so Li Ergou let them do it.

Boiling medicine didn't delay doing other things. Li Ergou took out the golden Buddha copied from the Golden Light Temple and placed it in front of him.

It can be seen that this copied golden Buddha has a circle of red thread on its wrist. This is the mark of being copied. Many copied items have such marks.

He picked up the golden Buddha and observed it, and found that as long as he got close to the golden Buddha within a foot, he could instantly calm people's minds.

He tried to probe his spiritual consciousness into the golden Buddha, but strangely, as soon as his spiritual consciousness entered the golden Buddha, it would be pulled inward by a magical force.

Li Ergou was so frightened that his back felt cold, and he hurriedly withdrew his spiritual consciousness. Even so, he found that his spiritual consciousness had become weak, and some of it had been forcibly sucked away.

At this moment, his face was pale and he was full of fear. This golden Buddha was too weird.

What made him feel even more weird happened at this moment. The golden Buddha actually had a golden light flashing on it, and the distance it covered increased by a foot. Originally, it had to be a foot away from it to make people feel peaceful, but now it became two feet, and now it could actually make people truly have no distracting thoughts.

Li Ergou stared at the golden Buddha with wide eyes, his heart trembling slightly. If this is the case, wouldn't it be possible for people to quickly enter the divine path? After all, the most important thing to enter the divine path is to constantly have distracting thoughts in your heart. He suffered a lot back then.

Not only that, once you practice the divine path technique, you will be disturbed by inner demons all the time. With this golden Buddha, wouldn't cultivation be faster with no distracting thoughts?

Treasure, it's really a treasure. However, he felt that the function of this thing might not be limited to this. You must know that this thing can actually absorb people's spiritual consciousness and undergo changes. This is too weird. Could it be that this is a living thing.

In any case, this thing is a rare treasure.

He was happy in his heart, but he didn't want this trip to Fish City to be so fruitful.

At this time, Mei'er brought him a glass of orange juice. Li Ergou took a sip and immediately felt it was delicious and very refreshing. A big 'beautiful' word!

At this moment, Li Ergou put away the golden Buddha, stood up, brought some juice, and went to a place. Yes, it was to Benlei Sword Yu Tailai. Perhaps it wouldn't be long before he would leave here, so he had to go to Yu Tailai to ask for advice.

Now that his Flowing Cloud Drifting Snow has been cultivated, he wants to cultivate the second move of the Ancient Sword Art. This move is called...
