Chapter 146: Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!
Ji Yang did not dwell too much on it. He was already cultivating immortality, so what did science matter?
Even though there was no Xuan Iron Mine, now that he was here, Ji Yang was not planning to leave empty-handed.
It was obvious that this place was an ancient residence, and he had heard of many like it.
Similar places included the caves of predecessors, deep valleys, and blessed lands.
It was said that many disciples with ordinary talents experienced a surge in strength and ascended in their cultivation paths because of such opportunities, becoming winners in life without obstacles.
Ji Yang was not interested in these tales; he thought opportunities were too ephemeral. Mining felt more substantial, and if that didn’t work out, he would go find Ye Wuchen.
Now that was a living opportunity!
However, looking at the peculiar stones that made up the walls, while they were not Xuan iron, they did not seem like ordinary things either.
This made the iron pick in Ji Yang’s hand itch with desire.
Ji Yang had no intention of exploring other areas; he slowly moved forward and began mining in the ruins with his iron pick.
Power +1
Hmm? He really found a piece of ore! Although it was just a White Light Point, it was something, which meant he could mine!
In a room deep within the residence, a copper mirror emitted a soft glow, revealing an image on its surface.
“They’re coming, they’re coming!”
The hoarse voice from the copper mirror sounded somewhat excited!
However, when it saw Ji Yang digging through the ruins outside, the joyful voice abruptly stopped.
“Why don’t you come in?”
The words carried a sense of urgency and expectation.
Under the watchful gaze of unseen eyes, Ji Yang first dug through all the surrounding ruins, making the irregular and scattered piles of stones much neater.
From afar, he looked like a diligent farmer renovating his fields.
“Come in, come in!”
“Just take one more step!”
As Ji Yang was about to cross the true threshold, the voice from the copper mirror sounded distorted and warped.
At that moment, Ji Yang hesitated for a moment.
What he had just mined yielded little reward—all he found were some White Light Points. As for the stones making up the walls, they seemed to provide no higher-level light points, perhaps due to the passage of time or other reasons.
Looking at the more open area ahead, Ji Yang showed signs of indecision.
After a struggle with his thoughts, Ji Yang still decided to take the plunge.
Once Ji Yang crossed that invisible red line, a loud laugh followed:
“Ha ha ha ha…”
“You finally came!”
“Mining boy, I’ve been waiting for you a long time!”
Listening to the strange voice and its reference to him, Ji Yang appeared somewhat bewildered and hurriedly wanted to step back.
But at that moment, an invisible barrier surrounded him, and judging by its strength, it clearly could not be easily shattered.
Ji Yang turned around, his expression growing serious:
“Who are you?”
A hoarse voice echoed from deep within the residence:
“Who I am is not important, but after today, I will be you!”
Hearing this, Ji Yang scoffed coldly:
“You’re being overly naive. A coward who hides and only shows his tail dares to be so brazen?”
After being insulted, the voice’s owner did not get angry; instead, he let out a light laugh.
Following the laughter, Ji Yang felt a light radiate beneath his feet as a Formation that had long been prepared instantly surged upwards, transporting Ji Yang away.
When Ji Yang’s vision cleared, he found himself in a different location.
Before him was a spacious room filled with various large and small magical artifacts in unusual shapes.
Looking at these artifacts, Ji Yang’s eyes showed a hint of surprise.
The hoarse voice echoed again:
“Hehe, yes, this is the place you saw before!”
“This used to be a treasure trove a long time ago!”
“But now, well, it has become a pile of scrap metal.”
Following the direction of the voice, Ji Yang fixed his gaze on the copper mirror in the corner of the room, his expression becoming contemplative.
“Hmm!”
A voice of surprise sounded from the copper mirror, followed by a wave of admiration:
“Very good, you actually discovered my presence! What a remarkable talent!”
Ji Yang retorted:
“Wrong! This has nothing to do with my talent; it’s all the result of my hard work! Don’t defame me!”
“Ha, without talent, what use is hard work?”
“Wrong! No matter how great the talent, without effort, what achievements can one attain?”
Ji Yang’s rebuttal made the voice in the mirror pause slightly.
“You are right; if I had your talent back then, combined with my past efforts, perhaps I would have long since broken through to the True Immortal Realm!”
The continuous words carried a hint of sadness and nostalgia, along with a touch of regret.
Ji Yang spoke again to interrupt:
“Wrong, there are no ‘ifs’!”
“Not succeeding means not succeeding; saying more is just self-comfort! Even if you have such talent, you probably won’t become a True Immortal!”
Ji Yang’s blunt words led to a moment of silence from the ancient copper mirror.
After a moment of silence, the hoarse voice sounded somewhat angry:
“Kid, do you not understand your current situation? Or do you want to die a little faster?”
“Wrong!”
After saying this, Ji Yang showed a faint smile:
“Sorry, I’m just used to it!”
“Hmph!”
The voice from the copper mirror merely snorted coldly, then spoke:
“Mining kid, if you offer your body to me, I can spare your primordial spirit, allowing you to serve by my side in the future!”
“If not, don’t blame me…”
“Let’s do it!”
Before the words could finish, Ji Yang nodded in agreement.
This left the voice in the copper mirror momentarily stunned, and then Ji Yang’s next words came:
“Come and take it yourself!”
“Kid, are you messing with me?”
Ji Yang looked disappointed:
“So, you went through all that trouble to lure me here just for my body?”
The copper mirror was momentarily speechless.
The statement was accurate, the reasoning was valid, but it still felt a bit strange to him.
After a moment, the copper mirror asked with doubt:
“You knew my intention all along?”
Ji Yang lightly scoffed:
“Of course I didn’t, but I did know when you were spying on me a few days ago. The abnormal energy of the earth demons must have been your doing as well, right?”
“However, you certainly have a wide range of knowledge. I’ve enjoyed watching for the past few days; although I’m not really interested in those things…”
“I’m actually somewhat interested in you, so I came!”
Ji Yang looked at the copper mirror with curiosity in his eyes!
Although he didn’t fear great danger, every anomaly made Ji Yang think further, and the powerful primordial spirit energy allowed him to sense things clearly and sensitively, especially after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Stage.
He was already a bit curious about what lay beneath the mine, and since there was no great danger, he reluctantly came to take a look.
If he wasn’t mistaken, this copper mirror was the same one that had appeared in the earlier scene, but it looked somewhat different; he couldn’t quite tell where the differences lay.
After hearing Ji Yang’s words, a mocking laugh filled the copper mirror:
“Kid, you’re overestimating yourself, aren’t you? Is it just based on your Foundation Establishment stage?”
“I’ll make you understand that arrogance and pride are regrets you will never be able to remedy in your lifetime!”
