Chapter 36

~6 min read 1,101 words

Bringing it up in front of so many people, doesn't she need face?

She, a dignified, authentic Liyue adeptus, has less immortal cultivation talent than Ningguang?

It's as if she's not as good at cultivating immortality as Ningguang, a mortal!

Cloud Retainer radiated resentment and sat to the side, pouting.

On the side, Moon Carver shook his head helplessly.

Cloud Retainer, this fellow, just had to jump out and lose face.

It was fortunate that Zhongli didn't expose their bottom line as well.

An authentic Liyue adeptus not having as strong an immortal cultivation talent as a mortal Tianquan Star—where can one go to reason about this?

Keqing was also somewhat embarrassed; she hadn't expected to really expose Cloud Retainer's shortcoming.

Fearing that Cloud Retainer would hold a grudge, she hurriedly changed the subject.

"In other words, Ningguang's talent is indeed one in ten thousand?"

Zhongli nodded slightly, with a faint smile, seemingly very satisfied that Liyue had produced so many geniuses.

"Indeed, according to Fellow Daoist Jiang, when Shushan was flourishing in the past, top-grade spirit roots were still rare and would be good seedlings that the elders would fight over."

Keqing raised an eyebrow and looked at Ningguang with a smile.

"It seems you also have the capital to become an immortal."

Ningguang was happy in her heart, but considering that Cloud Retainer was still breaking down, she didn't dare to show it.

One still had to give face to the adepti.

Moreover, looking at the guilty expressions of Moon Carver and Mountain Shaper, it seemed their talent wasn't as good as hers either.

Saying any more would be somewhat impolite.

"Let's not talk about the spirit root for now; I just wanted to try using the world inspection function, why..."

Before she finished speaking, a cloud of energy diffused on the surface of the Profound Origin Mirror, spreading out like ink.

Ningguang suddenly understood.

"So you just need to speak? What a magical treasure."

Everyone became interested, and Keqing urged:

"Ningguang, show it, I can't see it."

Ningguang nodded slightly and said with some regret:

"Good treasure, it would be better if it were bigger."

In an instant, the Profound Origin Mirror left her hand, suspended in the air, and instantly turned into a huge screen of light.

Everyone exclaimed repeatedly.

"Incredible, following one's heart—this is the true method of the immortals!"

Keqing, in her excitement, said something somewhat inappropriate, which made Mountain Shaper and the others feel somewhat awkward.

But from the bottom of their hearts, they also felt that this thing was truly outrageous.

Ningguang looked at the Profound Origin Mirror and pondered for a moment, then suddenly said:

"Liyue Harbor!"

The water mist instantly diffused, as if from a bird's-eye view from the sky, and the mirror included the entire Liyue Harbor.

It even included the Jade Chamber where everyone was currently located.

Keqing's eyes tightened, and she walked quickly toward the door.

She looked up, waved her hand, and then turned back into the meeting room.

"Just now you..."

"We can see it!"

Ningguang pointed at the Profound Origin Mirror with some surprise.

"Just now, when you waved outside, Keqing, we saw it clearly!"

Keqing immediately became serious.

"Is that so? It really is a magical treasure. With this thing, we can monitor all parts of Liyue without leaving our homes."

Ningguang didn't answer, as if she had opened up her Ren and Du meridians.

She reached out and gently touched the ethereal mirror surface, and the image was instantly stretched, rapidly condensing on Liyue Harbor below.

A sneaky figure appeared in the image.

Not far from the entrance of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Qiqi was standing there in a daze.

It seemed she had forgotten what she was supposed to do again.

Hu Tao chuckled and pulled a large sack from somewhere.

"Dust to dust, earth to earth... this time, you can rest in peace, Qiqi!"

After saying that, she leaped up and tried to bag Qiqi.

Qiqi immediately reacted and ran away.

"Don't run! It'll be quick, Qiqi! You'll be free soon!"

"Hot! Annoying person... Dr. Bai Zhu, save Qiqi!"

The two ran and chased, making the street restless.

Zhongli was somewhat embarrassed and coughed lightly:

"Send someone down to help Qiqi."

Ningguang was also somewhat helpless and summoned Baiwen to hurry and notify Bai Zhu.

After waiting for a while, Baiwen hurried over with Bai Zhu in the image and rescued Qiqi.

Hu Tao made a face and disappeared in a golden plum blossom.

Ningguang then withdrew the image from the Profound Origin Mirror.

"Truly magical and unparalleled. With this mirror, Liyue will have no more secrets in our eyes!"

Keqing waved her fist in excitement.

Ningguang, however, frowned slightly and continued to reach out to control the Profound Origin Mirror.

This time, the image switched to the middle of the ocean.

Deep under the vast ocean, several rock pillars rose from the ground, surrounded by many complex adeptus power runes.

It seemed to be a secret realm.

"This is... Osial's seal!"

Xiao was somewhat surprised.

"To be able to inspect such deep seas! Mr. Jiang's words were indeed true."

Ningguang didn't stop and manipulated the Profound Origin Mirror to go deeper.

The image instantly crossed the seal, and at this moment, what appeared before everyone was the huge and ferocious body of the Vortex God, Osial.

It was curled up in the adeptus power seal, seemingly closing its eyes to rest.

"It can actually cross the seal to inspect!"

Zhongli was immediately shocked and looked at the Profound Origin Mirror in disbelief.

While pleasantly surprised, he was also somewhat worried.

He was surprised because he seemed to be able to use this thing to check Azhdaha's status.

As for the worry...

The adeptus power seal was already somewhat damaged, and he hoped the adepti wouldn't notice.

Otherwise, the big show that followed would be hard to perform.

Fortunately, Ningguang didn't observe for long, although she felt that continuing to observe Osial wouldn't cause a reaction.

But what if?

Ningguang didn't want to cause extra trouble.

Raising her head, Ningguang said seriously:

"It seems the situation has been confirmed."

"The Profound Origin Mirror truly inspects the nine heavens above and views the vast seas below, and can even penetrate Rex Lapis's adeptus power seal."

"The value of this thing is truly hard to estimate."

"With this treasure, many things in Liyue can be easily solved; at the very least, we can also be informed in time to make arrangements."

Keqing nodded and had another bold idea. ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
