Chapter 230: Right to Use the Mirror of Life and Death

Although Lan Yue no longer needed net spirit water lotus seed to purify her bloodline, this type of water and ice dual-attribute rare material was even more precious than the ghost thunder flower back then.

It was especially effective for purifying the bloodlines of water and ice-type Transcendent creatures.

In other words, Lan Yue could still make use of it.

“13 Million!”

While she was momentarily distracted, the auction price of the net spirit water lotus seed had already exceeded ten million star coins.

Mingxi no longer hesitated, raising her bidding paddle, “15 Million!”

A brief silence fell over the scene.

“Buying a net spirit water lotus seed for 15 million is a bit of a loss; around 12 million would be more appropriate.”

“It’s not bad, actually. The effect of the net spirit water lotus seed is quite good. It’s said to have over a 75% chance of purifying the bloodlines of water and ice-attribute pet beasts, thereby improving their talent level. If you’re lucky, 15 million isn’t a loss.”

“If you praise it so much, why aren’t you participating in the auction?”

“Do you think I’m stupid? I don’t have water or ice-attribute pet beasts, so what’s the point of bidding on this thing?”

“You’re not stupid, you’re just... something else.”

At this moment, Qin Wanyun’s auction hammer had already fallen.

Mingxi spent 15 million star coins to bid on this net spirit water lotus seed.

She let out a sigh of relief.

Didn’t she know that the net spirit water lotus seed wasn’t worth this price?

Rather, she felt that as long as the item was useful, a slight loss was truly not a big problem.

Of course, 15 million was her bottom line; if it went any higher, she would have no choice but to give up.

Afterward, Mingxi successively bid on some materials, most of which were usable by Golden Yuanbao, Silver, and Lan Yue. Some could be used to make energy pills, others, like the zhuangdan fruit, could temporarily boost or replenish a pet beast’s energy, and some had special effects.

Their values varied.

Time unknowingly reached eleven o’clock.

After nearly five hours of auctioning, not only was the auctioneer Qin Wanyun’s voice hoarse and her spirit weary, but even the guests showed signs of fatigue.

Even though almost everyone present was a Beast Tamers, some couldn’t endure sitting for four or five hours.

Finally—

“Next up for auction is tonight’s grand finale, the mirror of creation and destruction from the 03 Secret Realm.”

As soon as Qin Wanyun uttered these words, the crowd below, who had grown somewhat listless, immediately stirred again.

“The mirror of creation and destruction? And it’s the mirror of creation and destruction from the 03 Secret Realm? The Ten Thousand Dynasties Auction actually dares to put such a good item up for auction?!”

Exclamations and gasps rose and fell around her, and Mingxi could clearly feel the breathing of the uncle beside her quicken.

She blinked in confusion.

What was the mirror of creation and destruction? Why were these people so excited?

Just as she was pulling out her personal terminal to ‘Baidu’ it, Qin Wanyun spoke again from the stage: “I apologize, I need to correct myself. What is being auctioned this time is not the mirror of creation and destruction from the 03 Secret Realm itself, but rather a single use of it.”

“I knew it! Sheng Yun Auction House isn’t crazy enough to auction off the mirror of creation and destruction at the Ten Thousand Dynasties Auction.”

“So it’s just a single use.”

“It can be bid on, but the 03 Secret Realm has a danger rating exceeding 6 stars, which requires a very high Beast Tamers level. We’ll also need to see what restrictions the mirror of creation and destruction has.”

Mingxi put away her terminal; she couldn’t find any information about the mirror of creation and destruction online.

However, wasn’t the 03 Secret Realm the origin of the Anxu Gu Sand that Golden Yuanbao needed for its next stage of evolution?

So what exactly was the mirror of creation and destruction?

Mingxi stared intently at the beautiful auctioneer on stage.

She hoped this beautiful auctioneer would be sensible enough to explain everything clearly.

Otherwise, she would—

Well, she couldn’t do anything, she could only give up.

As if sensing her strong willpower, Qin Wanyun indeed explained, although her explanation was very simple, it was enough for Mingxi to understand the purpose of the mirror of creation and destruction.

The mirror of creation and destruction is a special tool crafted from a life-death stone, which originated in the Land of Birth and Death within a Mystic Ground.

Because the life-death stone has the ability to connect spaces, one can enter the original Mystic Ground through the mirror of creation and destruction, which is equivalent to forcibly establishing a teleportation channel.

However, each mirror of creation and destruction has various restrictions, such as cooldown time limits, entry number limits, and entry duration limits, among others.

In short, although the mirror of creation and destruction is not comparable to the Mystic Ground’s true passage, it is the only way to consistently enter a specific Mystic Ground.

It is equivalent to a temporary key to the Mystic Ground.

“The mirror of creation and destruction in the possession of our Prosperous Luck Auction House can be opened once every six months, and this month’s 25th is the date of the latest opening.

The limit for entry is one person, with no level requirement, an entry time of 2 hours, and the entry area is bound to the Dark Void Cave of the 03 Secret Realm.”

After Qin Wanyun finished describing the various restrictions of the mirror of creation and destruction, the previously high spirits of the crowd once again receded.

“Only one person can go in alone, and the bound area is the Dark Void Cave, with a danger rating close to 7 stars. Who would dare to venture in alone without A-level strength? Forget it, this opportunity should be left to the big shots.”

“The real big shots wouldn’t even care, right? After all, the usage period of this mirror of creation and destruction is only a short 2 hours. Such a short time isn’t even enough for a big shot to explore once, so the cost-effectiveness is too low.”

“That is to say, those with weak strength can’t use it, and those with strong strength don’t care for it.”

“Indeed, it’s a bit useless.”

“This finale isn’t very good.”

Listening to the various whispers around her, Mingxi quickly calculated the pros and cons in her mind.

Because Golden Yuanbao was a new species, there were no precedents in the alliance, not even in various Mystic Ground and Mystic Grounds, before it, so its next stage of evolution became a major problem.

Fortunately, she had the Time Realm.

As a super AI derived from the Time Realm based on her needs, Guangguang possessed powerful data analysis, integration, and deduction capabilities.

After several deductions by Guangguang, it finally analyzed three methods for Golden Yuanbao to evolve to the next stage.

The first method was to follow the Wind Thunder Bird’s evolution path, consuming two ghost thunder flowers to complete the evolution.

The success rate was 81.2%.

However, this would compress the possibility of awakening the demon attribute and even affect the talent level.

Therefore, Guangguang did not recommend it.

The second method was to enter a place where dark energy converged, temper its bones and refine its feathers, and further absorb dark energy.

The success rate of this method was 75.7%, slightly lower than absorbing ghost thunder flowers, but it could effectively solidify the dark energy within Golden Yuanbao’s body and even directly awaken the demon attribute.

The third method was to absorb Anxu Gu Sand.

The success rate was 92.3%, the highest among the three methods, but this method might not have as ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) much impact on the demon attribute as the second method.

Regarding Golden Yuanbao’s future, Mingxi specifically held a family meeting for this purpose.

Attendees included her and the three beasts: Golden Yuanbao, Silver, and Lan Yue.

The one person and three beasts put their heads together and finally decided on the third plan.

It wasn’t that they didn’t want to consider the second method, but places where energy converged, like a thunder pool, were truly rare and hard to come by.
