Star Valley, Nameless Cave.
Jiang Yan stood quietly on the edge of the cave, holding the sword in his right hand, always alert to dangers that might appear at any time.
In the center of the cave, several Juming Talismans were activated, emitting soft but steady light, which reflected Ouyang Xiuya's face clearly.
The arduous trek for more than ten days also left deep marks on this woman. Her hair was already a little messy, and her originally clean clothes had become dirty, covered with tiny spots of indescribable colors. .
At this moment, Ouyang Xiuya was lying cross-legged on the ground, looking with bright eyes at a group of gray-white objects suspended in front of her, which was a condensation of various materials.
"Come on, I will succeed soon."
Talking to herself like this, she linked her ten fingers to perform the "Seal Technique" faster. Wisps of energy poured into the "grey-white" object, which gradually changed its shape.
A quarter of an hour later, the shape of the gray-white object suspended in front of Ouyang Xiuya changed fundamentally, and it was refined into a mirror.
This mirror looks ordinary in style, just like a low-grade defective product made crudely by an ordinary workshop.
But Jiang Yan knew that this "new instrument" must have an extraordinary effect. You can imagine it just by looking at Ouyang Xiuya's dedication to it.
Ouyang Xiuya's energy became more concentrated, and her fingers were pinching the seals at a speed that left an afterimage. A stream of energy was like a drizzle, wrapping up the "new instrument" that was about to take shape.
Time passed slowly, and in Jiang Yan's eyes, the "mirror" began to tremble slightly, and the amplitude of its trembling became larger and larger.
At the same time, light green patterns began to appear on its originally plain mirror body. These patterns came together to form a rather weird pattern.
Crack!
Ouyang Xiuya suddenly stopped moving and maintained a pinching posture. The purple-red innate energy quickly surged out and condensed into an illusory "Yu" character.
"go!"
She shouted softly, and the "trail" character culture became a stream of light and blended into the mirror body.
Buzz…
After the character "熩" was integrated into the mirror body, a gray light suddenly lit up on the surface of the mirror, and it slowly became transparent.
"It's done!"
Ouyang Xiuya stretched out her palm and gently picked up the transparent mirror. At this moment, joy flashed in her calm eyes.
Then, she turned her head and said to Jiang Yan in a brisk tone: "Thank you for protecting me. I... succeeded!"
…
"What should I call it?" Jiang Yan flipped the transparent mirror up and down and asked softly.
The instrument may be made from weird wreckage as the main material. This mirror gives him a unique and cold touch.
"Well...if ordinary people are exposed to this kind of equipment for a long time, they may be infected by this inexplicable power, and some unimaginable and uncontrollable changes will occur."
"This is a new appliance."
Ouyang Xiuya smoothed her hair hanging in front of her forehead and said:
"I checked a lot of information about weirdness and utensils myself, and then spent a long time testing the formula and improving the seals before refining the new utensils."
"It mainly carries some special abilities of the phantom. Once activated, it can turn illusory targets into entities, or it can turn actual existence into phantoms. Of course, these are all temporary.
As for the name..."
"What do you think of 'Little Mirror'?"
"...It's okay." Jiang Yan couldn't help but pinch the transparent mirror in his hand and mourn for it. Its owner didn't seem to be a person who knew how to name.
No wonder the gray ball instrument is called "the little attractor."
However...experimenting the formula and improving the seal...this shows that Ouyang Xiuya has a wealth of knowledge as an instrument maker and is actually able to create a new instrument.
"You really have great ideas in making utensils. I think... you will definitely become a great utensil maker in the future." He couldn't help but admire.
"I also hope it will be like this." Ouyang Xiuya pursed her lips. She took the 'small mirror' back, gently touched its mirror surface, remained silent for a moment, and then said:
"Jiang Yan, I want to tell you a secret."
"Then allow me to make a guess first." Jiang Yan smiled, turned his eyes slightly, and said, "Do you want to tell me... your real purpose of coming to Star Valley to hunt phantoms?"
The new instrument "small mirror" refined from the remains of the phantom can only be regarded as a relatively special and precious instrument, but compared to obtaining the materials of the phantom and refining the "small mirror", the two of them came here. , but after experiencing many life and death crises, the price was too high.
Ouyang Xiuya must have other purposes for being so obsessed with hunting phantoms. Jiang Yan has already thought of this, but this is her secret and he doesn't want to explore it.
"Um…"
Ouyang Xiuya nodded slightly, looked at Jiang Yan with her clear eyes, and then jumped away. She said, "Hunting phantoms and making a 'small mirror' is my attempt."
"An attempt to use external forces and the power of 'instruments' to assist warriors in their advancement."
She gently spread her palms, grasping the vitality of the nearby heaven and earth and condensing it, and a purple-red illusory full moon floated quietly.
Ouyang Xiuya's eyes were fixed on the moon, and she said softly, "If a warrior in the Void Pill Realm wants to advance to the Real Pill Realm, he needs to practice high-quality skills, prepare elixirs and elixirs, and activate the boosting talisman array..."
“The more fully you prepare for these things, the smoother you will be on the road to advancement.”
Jiang Yan listened silently to Ouyang Xiuya's narrative without making a sound.
Just listen to her continue, "I had this idea a year ago...or even longer ago. I also want to refine a tool that can benefit warriors from advancing.
Combining this idea, during this period of time, I continued to consult information, discover formulas, and improve seal techniques. Finally, I had a more suitable spiritual sense and found more suitable materials, and this is how I came up with...'Little Mirror'. "
"You mean, in addition to the special ability that you just mentioned that can change forms, does Xiao Jing have other special powers that can help warriors advance?" Jiang Yan asked.
"That's not true." Ouyang Xiuya shook her head gently. She put out a burst of energy and merged it into the small mirror. The mirror surface of the small mirror suddenly emitted a gray-white light. This light was reflected on a stone the size of a head in the cave. The stone suddenly became Become unreal.
Then, she pointed the mirror at the illusory full moon suspended in her palm.
One breath, two breaths, three breaths...
Twenty breaths later, the illusory full moon formed by the condensed energy of heaven and earth slowly solidified.
"From fiction to reality, this is the result I want."
Ouyang Xiuya sighed in a low voice, "When you reach the level of Dan Realm, every time you advance, it is extremely difficult. Even if you are fully prepared, there is no shortage of skills, elixirs, pills, and talisman arrays, and they are very big. The advancement may fail.”
"So I refined the small mirror. You know the function of the small mirror. It can temporarily solidify illusory objects.
My idea is that I will release the virtual elixir when I hit the real elixir realm, and at the critical moment of advancement, I will use Xiaojing's special power to forcibly turn the virtual elixir into a real elixir. "
