Chapter 484: Qing Qian Kun Mirror (Part 2)

Upon leaving Wanbao Pavilion, Wang Chen found his Xumi Ring enriched with several taels of Star Sands and Golden Essence.

All the materials required to repair the Qing Qian Kun Mirror had been gathered in one fell swoop.

Naturally, the cost was steep.

He had spent more than half of his fortune, which also freed up considerable space in his Xumi Ring.

Wanbao Pavilion truly lived up to its reputation; after Wang Chen paid five Upper Spirits for expedited service, he received the necessary materials in just half an hour.

Such rapid service suggested that Wanbao Pavilion possessed its own teleportation formation; otherwise, such efficiency would be unattainable.

Wang Chen was aware of a large teleportation formation in Daying City, under the control of Grand Celestial Guardian Luo Han and Grand Commander Kou Shihai.

Given its critical role in city defense, this formation was certainly not shared with Wanbao Pavilion.

By independently sourcing materials from other locations and considering the activation costs of the formation, Wang Chen concluded that five Upper Spirits was a fair price.

Upon returning to Seven Star Pavilion, Wang Chen secured the quiet room and summoned the Life Creation Cauldron.

As the precious cauldron settled, its massive lid automatically opened, releasing a swirl of colorful spiritual energy.

"Master, Master!"

The Little Cauldron called from within, "Quick, throw everything in! Hurry, hurry!"

Wang Chen was at a loss for words.

Unable to resist the Little Cauldron’s insistence, he tossed in the ancient mirror along with the spirit stones and materials needed for the repair.

Just as he finished, the Little Cauldron shouted again, "Master, Master, throw in a few more Upper Spirits! Perhaps we can restore the mirror to 15% of its destructive power!"

Wang Chen: "……"

He was tempted to pull the Little Cauldron out and give it a good thrashing!

Despite his careful planning, he had still been outsmarted.

After some consideration, Wang Chen decided to throw all the remaining Upper Spirits he had, minus what he owed Wanbao Pavilion, into the Life Creation Cauldron.

As the wind blows away eggshells, wealth brings peace; gain is my fortune, loss is my fate.

In life, happiness is paramount!

Though not human, the Little Cauldron was delighted. The cauldron’s lid closed automatically, shaking as if dancing.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Wang Chen sat cross-legged nearby, closed his eyes, and began to practice the Preheaven Five Element Technique.

The long night passed quietly.

When Wang Chen emerged from his deepest meditative state, the sky outside was bright.

At some point, the Life Creation Cauldron had shrunk and returned to his chest, with a shimmering, colorful mirror prominently hovering before him.

Wang Chen’s heart stirred as he reached out and grasped the mirror.

Compared to before the repair, the Qing Qian Kun Mirror, re-forged by the Life Creation Cauldron, appeared cleansed of dust and radiated its original brilliance.

The mirror’s surface clearly displayed Wang Chen’s image, with every detail perfectly discernible.

The circular frame shone with a dark golden hue, intricately engraved with countless mysterious true seal characters. Unfortunately, many cracks marred its surface, causing significant damage.

Wang Chen thought for a moment and summoned the Cultivation Panel.

In the equipment section, he noticed a newly appeared entry.

【Qing Qian Kun Mirror (Damaged)】

Though it contained only a few short words, the addition of “damaged” was noticeable.

However, the fact that the name appeared on the Cultivation Panel alongside treasures like the Heavenly Net for Exorcising Evil and Thousand Transformations proved the ancient mirror’s value.

All those spirit stones were worth it!

Closing the Cultivation Panel, Wang Chen attempted to infuse a shred of magic power into the Qing Qian Kun Mirror.

In the next moment, a spell appeared instantly in his mind.

It was indeed the refinement method for the Qing Qian Kun Mirror!

Throughout history, most spirit tools and treasures come with their own refinement methods, making it easier for their owners to control them.

It was similar to the user manuals that came with appliances in Wang Chen’s past life.

Interestingly, some spirit tools and treasures lack built-in refinement methods, but after someone learns to use them, if they remain lost for a long time and the Cauldron Spirit falls into silence, when someone finds and reawakens it, the Cauldron Spirit automatically adds a refinement method.

This is because spirit tools and treasures need to be regularly refined and used, or their spirits will lose their essence and ultimately dissipate into chaotic spiritual energy.

The Qing Qian Kun Mirror that Wang Chen held clearly fell into this category.

He could sense the hidden spirit within the mirror.

However, this spirit still remained asleep and had yet to be awakened.

It must have suffered a tremendous blow, and this repair would, of course, not be enough for it to truly recover.

Wang Chen initially wanted to summon the Little Cauldron to ask how much had been repaired.

But that guy was huddled inside pretending to be a dead dog, so Wang Chen decided not to press the matter further.

He began to refine the precious mirror using the method he just learned.

As he infused his magic power, the Qing Qian Kun Mirror emitted a low, rumbling sound, as if it were whispering to itself, or perhaps expressing joy.

Wang Chen’s refinement process lasted for a full three days and nights!

The difficulty of refining the Qing Qian Kun Mirror greatly exceeded Wang Chen’s expectations.

This treasure demanded an extraordinarily high level of spiritual strength from its master; its interior resembled a vast maze, making it impossible to find the correct path to the most vital core.

At least, Wang Chen couldn’t do it.

So, he had to use the most straightforward and brutal approach.

That was to break through forcibly.

Every wall he broke through was a significant test of Wang Chen’s mental fortitude!

But he was patient, engaging in a prolonged battle with the Qing Qian Kun Mirror as if he were peeling layers from a silk cocoon, advancing step by step.

Until he reached its core.

In the moment of breaking through to the core of the mirror, Wang Chen left his spiritual soul imprint inside.

Instantly, he established a wonderfully strange connection with the Qing Qian Kun Mirror.

He felt that this treasure had become a part of him.

He had added another eye!

Wang Chen immediately took a Soul Nourishing Pill from his Xumi Ring and consumed it, then circulated his inner energy to disperse the pill’s effects, restoring his nearly exhausted spiritual strength.

Once his mind was nearly back to normal, he left the quiet room and went to the top level of the Seven Star Pavilion.

He pressed the Qing Qian Kun Mirror against his chest.

Wang Chen activated the destructive power of this precious mirror.

Above his forehead, a vertical golden eye suddenly appeared!

Wang Chen’s vision expanded along with his divine sense, continuously stretching out towards the vast Gobi Desert ahead.

Ten miles, twenty miles, fifty miles…

He quickly broke through his previous limits of exploration, continuously enlarging the area he could perceive.

In the blink of an eye, he surpassed one hundred miles.

And still, he continued.

The Qing Qian Kun Mirror’s enhancement of his divine sense had reached a shocking level!

Regardless of his diminishing spiritual power, Wang Chen sustained the expansion of his divine sense until he reached two hundred miles, then three hundred miles…

At nearly three hundred and fifty miles, he finally reached his limit.

In truth, he felt that this wasn’t his true limit, but his spiritual power could no longer support him. To avoid harming his soul, he chose to stop.

At that moment, Wang Chen activated the Global Mode on his Cultivation Panel!
