Chapter 120 - Nine Firmanents Distortion Mirror (2/2)
“My Little An did this to him!” Bao Yi was wrecked with guilt. “He was handling Little An’s sword Qi for way too long – the sword Qi managed to invade his body and attack his own innate sword Qi. That is the cause of the conflict happening within his body.”
“What’s the solution?” Shen Ying pressed.
Lonemoon and Bao Yi exchanged a meaningful glance. “Only he can get rid of the sword Qi in his body. He could also try to suppress it but this would take an incredibly long time…”
“How long?”
“A few hundred years, or… a few thousand.” And he would have to endure the pain of the sword Qi fighting within his body for that entire time.
“Shit!” Shen Ying looked extremely furious now. That’s far too long!
Bao Yi frowned and turned to face his son. “Feiping, get the Nine Firmanents Distortion Mirror!”
“Huh? Ah!” Bao Feiping’s eyes widened. He answered, “That’s the previous Country Lord’s gift to Qu Shuang City. It’s a valuable treasure, and it can only be used…”
He was interrupted by the intensity of Bao Yi”s glare.
Bao Feiping paused and then felt immense guilt. He apologised, “Feiping is being too narrow-minded. I will retrieve the Nine Firmanents Distortion Mirror now.” They saved Little An’s life after all. How valuable was an immortal weapon compared to that?
He turned around and walked brusquely away toward the front yard. He returned within minutes, carrying with him a bronze mirror. He handed the mirror over to Bao Yi.
“This is the Nine Firmanents Distortion Mirror,” Bao Yi explained. “It contains a dimension made with half of an immortal’s meridian. Entering the mirror is akin to going into the immortal meridian. The immortal Qi in that space will help our fellow immortal control the sword Qi within his body. Given his understanding of the Primordial Soul Sword Qi, I believe our immortal friend can do something during that time to get rid of the excess sword Qi in his body now. What’s more… time and space works differently in that dimension compared to the immortal realm. It moves at least a hundred times slower, so our immortal friend would not have to be worried about time. I wonder if he would be willing to give it a shot?”
Yi Qing glanced at the bronze mirror in Bao Yi’s hands, then at Shen Ying. Frowning, he faced Lonemoon and said, “Father Niu, Mas-”
“Okay!” Lonemoon rolled his eyes before Yi Qing could finish speaking. “It’s just food. Don’t worry, I won’t starve her. Quick, get out of here!”
I’ve had enough of your retarded ways!
Yi Qing visibly relaxed, but something was obviously still bothering him. Hmph! You’ve lucked out!
Shen Ying: “…” For some reason, she felt as though she were being looked down upon.
The Bao father and son: “…” What does that mean? What exactly are they saying?
“Thank you, Exalted Immortal Bao!” Yi Qing thanked Bao Yi.
Bao Yi conjured a seal and muttered a curse over the immortal weapon in his hands. The mirror began to reflect a blinding white light. He angled the mirror so that the light reflected on a spot on Yi Qing’s forehead. Suddenly, the light engulfed his entire body.
“Fellow Immortal Yi Qing,” Bao Feiping hurriedly instructed, “This Nine Firmanents Distortion Mirror can only be used once. After you get rid of the excess sword Qi in your body, don’t rush to come out.” The immortal Qi in that dimension can be very helpful.
“Thank you,” Yi Qing nodded. The white light swallowed his body as Yi Qing entered the realm in the mirror. The mirror, which was clear and bright at first, was now only reflecting a white mist. They could no longer even see their own reflections in it.
Everybody heaved a deep sigh of relief. Bao Yi handed the mirror over to Lonemoon and said, “Fellow Immortal Yi Qing needs time to get rid of the excess sword Qi in his body. Why don’t the two of you remain in our abode while waiting?”
Lonemoon paused. Travelling back and forth would indeed be very troublesome, and the mirror did belong to the Bao Family. It would be more appropriate for them to remain in their abode instead of returning to Invincible Sect. He nodded and said, “Thank you, Exalted Immortal, we will have to trouble you then!” He thought for awhile and added, “I wonder how long you expect my fellow immortal to take?”
“Time works differently inside the mirror, but I’m not sure exactly how different time works because the mirror can only be used once. I’ve heard that a day in the immortal realm is equal to at least a hundred years in the mirror. Given that there’s immortal QI from half an immortal’s meridian inside there, normal immortals would need at least a thousand years to reap the full benefits of the immortal Qi.”
“I see…” That means that Yi Qing would be in the mirror for at least ten days.
“So don’t worry, Fellow Immortals. Wait for half a month-”
“Master!” Before Bao Yi could finish speaking, the mirror in Lonemoon’s hands broke into pieces. A familiar figure appeared in front of them, tugging at Shen Ying’s sleeve. “Are you hungry? Do you want to eat breakfast, lunch, dinner or supper?”
Shen Ying: “…”
Lonemoon: “…”
The three people from the Bao Family: “…”
