Wizards in the world of cultivation

Chapter 197 The Mirror Demon
Cloud Sea Fairy City.

He returned here this time because the bounty he had placed on the strange beast had been settled.

A cultivator brought along a strange beast with extraordinary talents, wanting to have a detailed conversation with him.

The beasts or monsters provided by the other party were not the ones that Su You had offered as a bounty, but Su You had also noted in detail on the bounty list that he would also purchase any beasts with strong talents.

He stepped into Yunhai Tower, and led by a maid, Su You arrived at a private room in the backyard.

Upon seeing the cultivation levels of the several cultivators inside, Su You couldn't help but frown.

These people's cultivation levels are really too low, only at the Nascent Soul stage.

It wasn't that he looked down on their cultivation level, but it was worth considering what kind of rare and exotic beasts they could bring with their cultivation level.

When Yun Yun, who was talking inside, saw Su You come over, she immediately came up to him and whispered, "Young Master, I feel that the beast's talent is indeed quite good, if it is as they say. But whether it has potential, I'm not sure."

The bounties for these exotic beasts are all substantial, and the sellers have been unwilling to budge on their asking prices; otherwise, she would have already made the decision to buy them.

Su You nodded and walked over quickly.

The cultivators who had been sitting immediately stood up and respectfully said, "Greetings, Senior."

Unbeknownst to him, Su You had also become a senior in the eyes of others.

His current cultivation level is only considered above average in Cloud Sea Immortal City, but in the eyes of those Nascent Soul cultivators, it is already considered profound.

Su You is now at the Refinement of Void realm. He had been stuck at the peak of the Nascent Soul realm for a long time, but with enough money, he was able to buy pills to help him break through the bottleneck and easily break through to the Refinement of Void realm.

He can be considered a cultivator who has achieved longevity and immortality.

Once you reach this level, living for tens of thousands of years is practically a given. Although the Yuan Qi Tribulation of the Refining Void Realm is terrifying, most cultivators are still able to survive the first one.

Su You simply nodded and then asked the other party to take out the strange beast for a look.

The cultivators opposite them no longer hesitated. After all, this was Yunhai Tower, and they were not afraid of being robbed. If it were any other place, they might have hesitated.

An exquisite, pure white box was taken out and placed on the table.

Su You opened the box and saw a mirror lying quietly inside.

“Interesting…” Su You didn’t think they were deceiving him. His powerful divine sense quickly swept across the mirror and soon discovered the difference.

Indeed, this mirror is no longer an object, but an object transformed into a real living being, a situation that is quite rare.

Under normal circumstances, the probability of objects transforming into living beings is extremely low. Magical artifacts, for example, possess very strong spiritual power, but they often cannot transform into living beings and can only exist as artifact spirits.

It takes a great deal of luck and coincidence to become a living being.

Su You has decided that if the price isn't too high, he can buy the mirror creature even if it doesn't have any special talents, and use it for research.

Of course, if someone has exceptional talent, the price is negotiable.

He had just used a secret technique to probe it, and its bloodline still had room for improvement. For such special beings, the wizarding tradition offered many different methods for modification. However, even scanning from the outside, Su You couldn't determine the mirror spirit's innate abilities. "Tell me, what are this mirror spirit's innate abilities?"

"It can reflect enemy spells and copy other people's spells to attack," several cultivators said bluntly.

"This ability..." Su You showed an interested expression.

This ability is indeed very rare, and he is very interested in it.

"Yunyun, this is a good item. No matter the cost, buy it for me." Su You whispered, then turned and left.

He wasn't worried that Yun Yun couldn't afford it. After all, no matter how exaggerated its talent was, its realm was only at the fourth-order Nascent Soul level. Not to mention the deposit he left at Yunhai Tower, the funds Yun Yun had for managing the shop were enough to buy this strange beast.

After leaving, Su You went directly to a place that specialized in selling spirit beasts and demon beasts. He decided to leave the negotiation and purchase of such items to professionals.

Arriving at a spirit beast shop, Su You immediately bought over a hundred third- and fourth-tier demon beasts before returning to his cave.

Inside the cave, Yun Yun was already waiting, and had brought the strange beast with her.

After praising him a few times, Su You led the strange beast away from the cave and teleported away from Cloud Sea Immortal City.

Within the Cloud Sea Immortal City, Su You could not use the Dream Butterfly Mirror for teleportation. After all, it was shrouded by a ninth-order array, and the Dream Butterfly Mirror was just an ordinary ninth-order magic treasure. It could not teleport within a ninth-order array unless it was a celestial-order magic treasure.

After being quickly teleported to the True Dragon Secret Realm, Su You began his experiment.

That's right. Since this mirror demon has the ability to reflect and copy spells, does it also have the ability to reflect and copy talents? If it does, then the mirror demon's value is extraordinary.

If not, it can only be a treasure in Su You's possession, and is not worthy of being his first choice for talent.

This is also why he bought so many demonic beasts after he left—to test the abilities of this mirror demon.

Su You had his twin clones use the Mirage Realm's talent to control the Mirror Demon, and then control the remaining demon beasts, conducting experiments on them one by one.

The monsters he selected all had different characteristics, including offensive talents, supportive abilities, and special types; there were all kinds.

After the experiment began, the Mirror Demon successfully reflected and copied the attack talent of the first demon beast.

"Not bad!" Su You said with slight excitement.

The experiment with the first monster is very important; its success proves that it possesses such abilities.

The experiment continued, and the next step was to test its potential, to see how much talent it could reflect and replicate, and how much talent it could not replicate, etc.

After repeated testing, Su You finally obtained a relatively accurate set of data.

First of all, this mirror demon is almost unrestricted when it comes to reflecting attacks. It can reflect all the attacks of the demons it tested, the only difference being the degree of reflection.

Secondly, regarding duplication, all the talents of the tested monsters, including attack, support, special, and other types, were successfully copied.

However, only two of the Mirror Demon's talents can be stored and used in the long term. If you want to copy a new talent, you must replace them again.
