Mysterious mirror hanging high

However, Qi Dong has always believed that wealth and honor can be achieved through risk. Theoretically, even if he encounters underground monsters, as long as he can run back to the coverage of the [Spirit Vision Pearl] in time, there will be no problem.

After many twists and turns, Qi Dong finally arrived at a dark place. He took out a long-burning lamp from his storage bag, placed it near the rock wall, confirmed the location of the ore, and began to dig the ore.

After more than half an hour, Qi Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead, threw the pickaxe aside, and cursed:

"This is really not a human thing..."

"I'm struggling every day to get just a few dozen pieces of ore. Even if I can hide a few in a blind spot, how long will it take to accumulate enough spiritual resources for cultivation?"

After venting his anger, he took out a piece of icy metal ore he had just dug from his pocket and looked at it carefully:

"What is this ore? Is it some kind of associated mineral in the vein? I don't even recognize it... I don't know how much it can be sold for..."

rustling --

A rustling sound was heard, and Qi Dong felt something was wrong. The next moment, a soul-eating rat with a powerful aura jumped out in front of him!

Qi Dong's pupils suddenly constricted, and cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

The gray-brown soul-eating rat in front of him was half a man's height. Its scarlet eyes gleamed with blood in the darkness, and its sharp fangs dripped a few drops of smelly saliva as it bared its teeth at him.

"Oh no! Soul-devouring rat! Return to the [Spirit Vision Range] immediately!"

He subconsciously gripped his pickaxe and took two steps back, but heard the rustling sound of rolling gravel behind him - another larger soul-eating rat was blocking his way, and its rough tail slapped the rock wall anxiously, splashing a string of sparks.

"It's over!" Qi Dong felt somewhat desperate and regretful. Perhaps he shouldn't have been so arrogant and taken risks in the blind spot for a few small things.

The two monsters were slowly approaching one after the other, and their foul breath seemed to be very close!

“Ouch—Ouch!”

Two soul-eating rats pounced at him at the same time. Qi Dong subconsciously cast two ice spells, trying to fight the trapped beasts.

But he knew in his heart that in terms of cultivation level, any one of these two Soul-Devouring Rats was stronger than him, and he was not a genius in magic. How could he turn the tables with just two ice spells?

But the next moment, above Qi Dong's head, a shadow of a mysterious mirror flashed by, and four blue seal characters suddenly appeared on the mirror surface, which was - [As cold as frost]!

At the same time, two huge streams of cold air gushed out from the palms of Qi Dong's hands. The next moment, two loud "bang" sounds were heard, and the two corpses of soul-eating rats that were frozen into ice sculptures fell to the ground with a crisp sound.

"This...I did this?"

Looking at the two corpses of soul-eating rats that had turned into ice sculptures, Qi Dong stared at his hands in disbelief.

What he used just now was just the simplest and most inferior ice magic [Cold Mist Magic], which can usually only delay and slow down the enemy's speed, and it is impossible to have such power!

Besides, I am only at the third level of Qi training. Even if I can use high-level techniques, how powerful can they be?

Instantly killing two monsters whose cultivation was as strong as his own? No one would believe it if he told anyone!

"Could it be?"

Qi Dong's heart was pounding, and he suddenly thought of a possibility.

In order to verify this possibility, he casually made a hand gesture and used the [Ice Cone Technique].

In an instant, three huge ice cones condensed and flew towards the rock wall, piercing deeply into it.

"This……"

Qi Dong looked ecstatic, as if his ice magic had greatly increased in power!

In the past, it would take at least three breaths of preparation for me to release the Ice Cone Technique, but now, it only takes one breath to form the ice cone.

Normally, based on his mana and true essence and cultivation level, condensing two ice cones would be extremely difficult, but now he condensed three ice cones effortlessly...

"This seems to be... a kind of [Innate Dao Body] that can enhance ice-based magic!"

"But why..."

Qi Dong suddenly thought of something and took out the strange mineral that was emitting a cold air from his arms. At this time, the stone was glowing slightly, which made him guess more.

He placed the ore on the ground and used the [Ice Cone Technique] again. Sure enough, this time the power of the Ice Cone Technique was greatly reduced and returned to his usual level.

"This thing can give me a [Innate Dao Body]!"

Qi Dong was ecstatic at first, as he seemed to have found a way to sneak into the Heavenly Palace [Xiantian Taoist Temple]!

But his expression immediately fell... simply because the Heavenly Court was no longer the same as before.

It is said that in the early years, many monks under the rule of the Heavenly Court also obtained many strange objects that could give them an innate Taoist body. With these objects, these monks successfully infiltrated the Xiantian Taoist Temple and stirred up chaos in the entire Heavenly Court.

Later, the matter was exposed, and the Heavenly Court took this opportunity to carry out a major purge, clearing out all the monks who had sneaked into the Xiantian Taoist Academy with foreign objects, and later formulated very strict and complete inspection methods to eliminate the possibility of any monk sneaking into the Taoist Academy with foreign objects and enjoying the treatment of a genius.

Even if the stone in his hand could really temporarily grant him the [Innate Dao Body], it would be difficult for him to get away with it and enter the Innate Dao Academy... If the matter were to be exposed, he might even be in danger of being killed!

"Damn it, I was born in the wrong era... All the roads have been cut off by the predecessors."

Qi Dong stroked the cold stone in his hand, pondering for a long moment. Suddenly, his eyes lit up. "Although I can't sneak into the Xiantian Dao Academy with this stone... but now that I possess an Xiantian Dao body, there's no place in the world I can't go. Why should I stick to this rotten place like the Heavenly Palace?"

After thinking about it, he swallowed the ore in one gulp and stored it in his Dantian. He put the remaining ore into an ore storage bag specially prepared for mining and returned to the [Spiritual Vision Area] stealthily.

After returning to the spiritual vision area, Qi Dong saw a number of [Spiritual Vision Beads] floating in the air, emitting a soft light. He took a glance and found that Old Xu was swinging his pickaxe vigorously, digging the mine diligently with the help of [Giant Strength Technique].

When Old Xu saw Qi Dong, he stopped what he was doing and asked in surprise, "Xiao Qi, you're back so soon?"

"Well... maybe there's something wrong with the low-quality pills I bought on the black market a few days ago. I seem to have an upset stomach today. I have to go back and rest." Qi Dong covered his stomach and forced a smile.

"We can't delay any longer." Old Xu said, "Go back and rest quickly. Don't try to hold on. If you really can't get better, go find a doctor for a checkup."

"The medical consultation fee is very expensive, I can't afford it..." Qi Dong shook his head and walked towards the ground.

He frowned, as if he was really uncomfortable.

In fact, he still has a lot of troubles now:

"The Heavenly Court strictly prohibits the free movement of low-level cultivators, and the control of going out is extremely strict... How can I leave the Heavenly Court territory and go to the East China Sea?"
