Chapter 757: Chapter 759: Natural Elf, Mirror Demon of the Eight Trigrams Mirror

"Order has indeed been restored, but it was suppressed by force, inevitably not a long-term solution." Qin Muye walked discreetly to one side while the rubble was being cleared by common folk.

The official Spirit Masters looked somewhat sullen, and some scattered individuals and families kept their distance, but their expressions were also unpleasant.

The pressure was not only on individuals and families, but also on the officials of the Great Spirit Dynasty themselves, who had previously used their power to acquire Spiritual Beasts for refining. Now, after the intervention of the Spirit Emperor, their shortcut to strength was abruptly cut off.

It seemed that the entire world had suddenly become unfriendly to all Spirit Masters.

Qin Muye was indifferent to this, for he was here to capture a Spiritual Beast to serve as his avatar. He had many choices, but to match his three innate attributes, he naturally needed to select a good one.

It had to be a Spiritual Beast related to either the Karma Dao, Luck Dao, or Universe Dao, but regardless of which, none were simple creatures. Moreover, after the chaos of Spirit Refining, if there were any left, they would have already been refined by others.

There might still be some left, but not many.

Luckily, he had help from his original body, which had already secured a Spiritual Beast for him, a special kind called Mirror Demon, originally a sentient piece of vegetation, this Spiritual Beast was an object that had gained sentience.

Its attributes were of the metal and light types, none of which matched at first glance. However, after studying the Mysterious Life Moth and numerous Evolution Secret Techniques, and conducting many experiments, his original body had tailored an Evolution Secret Technique called Mirror Immortal for him. Once he bound this Mirror Demon and evolved it using this secret technique, he could refine its attributes to possess those of the Karma Dao, Luck Dao, and Universe Dao.

As for the success rate, the Evolution Secret Technique had not been tested; it all depended on his original body’s conjectures. Whether it would succeed, he did not know, but one thing was certain—if it failed, it wouldn’t be his concern; he would have to consult his original body.

His original body was currently somewhere in the Spirit Realm, researching time.

These three attributes were also very important for Qin Muye. The Karma Dao was crucial for utilizing his ability to mask the Heavenly Mechanism, thereby concealing his trail and having foresight; the Luck Dao was not just for better luck, but to ensure a better synchronization with the Main Character Aura and unmatched fate in disputes with the Spirit Emperor.

Lastly, the Universe Dao was even simpler; combined with spatial affinity, it created a unique combat strength. Thus, this attribute alone actively supported him.

’But where is this Mirror Demon?’ Qin Muye did not know the exact location of the Mirror Demon; his original body had dropped him here without disclosing its location.

The Mirror Demon was literally a living mirror, perhaps a handheld mirror for a lady or a dressing mirror in a lady’s chamber, according to the information provided by his original body in this area.

After roaming around for a while and discovering nothing, he finally saw a fortune-telling stall.

That person seemed somewhat familiar???

’Damn it, isn’t this the con man who swindled the brothers Qian Jingtian and Qian Jindi and then changed his name?’ Qin Muye looked at the fortune-telling stall, somewhat stupefied.

’Damn idiot, my original body has achieved results in researching time, all silently huh.’

Qin Muye finally understood where the Mirror Demon mentioned by his original body was—it was the Eight Trigrams Mirror in the hands of the con man, though it hadn’t yet fully formed, caught between being a mirror and a Spiritual Beast. If it was going to fully form, it would happen within the next day or two.

His original body had foreseen the future through time, hence he was sent early to seize this opportunity.

’If it is the Eight Trigrams Mirror, this secret technique might actually work.’

With this resolution in his mind, Qin Muye confidently made his way towards the fortune-telling stall.

"Can this Spiritual Beast predict the future of the Heavenly Mechanism?" Qin Muye asked doubtfully after sitting down.

Seeing Qin Muye’s luxurious attire, the con man Feng Shun’s eyes lit up—this was a rich prey.

Internally, he mused over how much he could swindle and how to deceive him.

"Exactly, may I know what the young master wishes to divine?" said Feng Shun with pride in his tone; at this moment, it was essential to be arrogant.

"Are you cursing me?"

"You curse me while I’m here for a divination?"

Qin Muye slammed the table, his tone very harsh, and his expression also turned unfriendly.

Feng Shun’s mouth twitched involuntarily—this man must have come here to pick a fight. However, the commanding presence that struck him made his heart skip a beat. Luckily, having seen much of the world, he wasn’t easily intimidated.

"What I mean is, young master, what would you like to calculate? Your future, marriage prospects, or something else?" At this moment, Feng Shun dared not use the word "things" as the man seemed well-dressed and a bit like a rogue, not someone to offend easily.

However, dealing with rogues had its advantages; they were easy to dupe.

"If only you’d stated it clearly earlier. Let me think about what to calculate," Qin Muye said, although he began scanning the small stall.

This made Feng Shun uneasy. What exactly did this man want to do? He felt a bit anxious.

Being someone who traveled far and wide deceiving others, it was inevitable he felt uneasy meeting someone who didn’t play by the usual rules.

"I’ve thought about it; you can calculate whatever I decide I want you to calculate," Qin Muye said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Feng Shun felt a chill in his heart. How was he supposed to calculate that?

"What? Is there a problem?" Qin Muye asked indifferently, seeing Feng Shun’s expression.

Qin Muye knew well that his Spiritual Beast could not divine the Heavenly Mechanism; it was best suited for Earth Escape. Looking at him, his Earth Escape through Spiritual Beast Technique must have at least reached the level of proficiency of a terrestrial grade, not only fast and covert in movement but could also take someone along. That was his confidence.

As for divining the Heavenly Mechanism, that would rely entirely on Feng Shun’s clever mouth, which most Spirit Masters knew, only ordinary people were deceived out of their money.

It was rare for Spirit Masters like Qian Jingtian and Qian Jindi to be deceived.

Feng Shun felt cold inside. He thought that the man had come to wreck his stall, but he couldn’t show it. He wasn’t even a minor player in the big game, merely a mudfish. The newcomer was obviously a local bully looking for trouble; he didn’t think he had offended him, but since when did one need to offend someone to be harassed?

Thus, the best course of action was to admit defeat and leave. Over these days, he had accumulated quite some resources. If he left now, he’d only make a bit less money.

Then he cupped one hand in the other before his chest, "I haven’t mastered my craft, I can’t divine your fortunes. I have no face to continue making a living here."

That meant he admitted defeat and was ready to leave.

So, he swiftly began packing up his stall, but Qin Muye reached out to stop him, freezing everything in place.

"To leave just like that—I can’t let that happen," Qin Muye said, his tone mocking.

"Then set a path for me," Feng Shun, now out of options, gritted his teeth, prepared to take a big loss.

His Spiritual Beast was good for fleeing, but had little combat ability. He had built his career on deceiving people, not on plundering them.

"Fine. Pick something from the stall to take with you, so it doesn’t look like you’re being unreasonably taken advantage of. How about that?" Qin Muye expressed that he wasn’t going to make it difficult for him, but he still needed to keep his face.

"Please!" Feng Shun sighed in relief. The items on his stall were worthless, just recently bought; losing them wouldn’t constitute a big loss. His main packing had been of sample goods which were expensive and needed to be ordered.

Qin Muye looked around and finally picked up the Eight Trigrams Mirror.

"This mirror it is. Next time you deceive someone, if you get caught again, it won’t be as easy as today," Qin Muye said as he picked up the mirror and left.

Seeing that the other party had let him off the hook, Feng Shun quickly packed up his things and left. The Eight Trigrams Mirror had not been in his possession long and wasn’t valuable. In his eyes, some previous victim of his deceit must have encountered some trouble, but nothing serious. That must be why they had come to warn him.

Having shown up at his doorstep, his only option was to leave quickly and not expect to be spared a second time.

Looking at that imposing demeanor, he definitely wasn’t an ordinary person.

’Indeed, there are too many tough characters in a big city. It seems I still need to find smaller places to thrive,’ Feng Shun thought reluctantly. In smaller towns, he could fool some wealthy Spirit Masters, but in a big city, every Spirit Master could instantly recognize the breed of his Spiritual Beast, making it impossible to deceive them.
