The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 568 - 325 111
This thing, how do I use it? She picked up the mirror and aimed it at Ali, then was surprised to find that the mirror reflected nothing.
Changtian couldn’t help but chuckle: "She is a spirit born from gold stone, how could she have a soul? No matter how you try to reflect, there’s nothing to be seen."
Fine. He was her second experimental subject. This time, the mirror reacted accordingly; the Changtian in the mirror looked handsome still, but seemed ethereal, like looking at flowers through the fog, his features somewhat blurred, all over his body emitted a faint golden light.
"If all goes well, the soul should closely resemble the appearance. " Changtian hinted, then called for Tu Jin. Now, everyone became somewhat nervous, because if the Spectrum Mirror could reveal Tu Jin’s abnormalities, it would also help them uncover the true face of Yin Jiu You.
As soon as the mirror was aimed at Tu Jin, Ning Xiaoxian’s eyebrows immediately raised. Ali came over to take a look and also let out a "wow."
Tu Jin curiously asked, "What happened, nothing is reflected?"
Ali shook her head: "Brother Tu is very handsome in the mirror too, so why is this face not good-looking?"
The corner of Tu Jin’s mouth twitched, but he said nothing. The Tu Jin that Ning Xiaoxian, Changtian, and Ali saw in the mirror was also a handsome man, though his eyes looked sinister. His current appearance was that of a Qishou transformed into, a young man in his twenties with a cold complexion, indeed completely different from the person in the mirror.
Changtian thoughtfully said: "It seems that what the Spectrum Mirror reveals is the soul’s truest appearance. If it is pointed at the puppets employed by Yin Jiu You, the truth would be immediately evident."
"Do you still remember what Yin Jiu You looks like?"
He revealed a hint of a cold smile: "Of course, I haven’t dared to forget for even a single day!"
She had nothing to do that night, so she went out to eat supper.
Even though she no longer possessed a mortal body, the habit of having three meals a day was not easily changed. This small eatery was located in a back alley of the southern district, locally called a "food stall," recommended by He Lao. She ordered a portion of fresh meat wontons and ate them along with a corn and soybean residue pancake in her hand. The farther west one goes, the rougher the food preparation, and the dishes of this food stall were already famous afar, although the wonton wrappers were not very well-made. The distinctive feature here was the meat filling - the desert area could not raise cattle or sheep, so where did the meat come from?
There was some, the residents of Kashna City used what they had, setting traps to capture the common thorny lizards on the sand, skinning and deboning them, making wonton fillings. Thorny lizard meat is tender and free of any gamey taste, so it tastes quite good when made into food, at least the filling she tasted was fragrant and slightly crispy, unexpectedly delicious.
Tu Jin was sitting across the table, sipping on cold porridge with a sour face. Having cultivated for over a thousand years, he had long since lost interest in mortal food, but Ning Xiaoxian liked company when eating, and Qi Zai’s appearance could hardly be considered human-like; Changtian couldn’t come out, so the task reluctantly fell on Tu Jin. He was not willing to eat any unknown beast meat, so he simply ordered a bowl of liquid food.
As for Ali, her True Body as Gold Essence was too important, Ning Xiaoxian dared not to let her out in such a place crowded with people, lest she gets lost and regret it later.
As the two dined wordlessly, two people suddenly walked down the street. Ning Xiaoxian glanced at them and then looked away; she had once again returned to that unremarkable face, not wanting to be recognized. The man and woman were none other than Chun Ru Hai, Building Owner of Gold Storage Tower, and his daughter Chun Yijing, followed closely by Senior Brother Chen. The duo walked and laughed, paying no attention to the patrons of this tiny eatery.
Tu Jin finished his cold porridge in one gulp, took a few more glances at these two individuals, then suddenly furrowed his brows and said, "Strange, how are they so mismatched?"
Ning Xiaoxian didn’t even lift her head, responding lazily: "I think these two are quite well-matched, one haughty and the other sneaky, indeed a match made in heaven, nothing to be surprised about."
"Well-matched? " Tu Jin gave her an exasperated look, "I meant that man, his soul and body do not match, appears like it’s a forced soul possession!"
She "whooshed" and raised her head, staring at "Senior Brother Chen’s" back but of course unable to see anything unusual. "Soul possession?"
Whether human or demon, the soul is an extremely mysterious entity, shrouded in secrets that seem endless. Yet don’t underestimate human creativity; aside from Yin Jiu You, history has indeed seen several remarkably talented individuals of great power who researched Magic specifically targeting the Divine Soul, still in use to this day. Among them, one such ability is "soul possession."
