Elder Zhu’s face convulsed as he stared at the Vermilion Bird Mirror that was trapped in the Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation. How much pain would someone have to go through to resort to such desperate measures?

He paused for a moment before making seals with his hands again.

A white spell formation materialized on the surface of the Vermilion Bird Mirror. The Vermilion Bird Mirror trembled, and it immediately tried to escape!

Boom!

The Vermilion Bird Mirror crashed into the Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation with a resounding boom.

“You aren’t going anywhere!” An Lin roared as he pounced at the mirror.

The Vermilion Bird Mirror immediately fled in another direction in fear. However, it was completely enshrouded by the Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation, and it soon crashed into the sturdy barrier again.

The Vermilion Bird Mirror was extremely fast, but it was lacking in power and was thus unable to break through the Ionic Deprivation Protection Formation.

An Lin started to chase after the Vermilion Bird Mirror like a madman.

In the end, An Lin held the Vermilion Bird Mirror down with a sinister smile. “Hehe, you can’t run away from me! Just give up and accept me as your master!”

The Vermilion Bird Mirror trembled in fear.

“Why do I feel that An Lin seems like an antagonist…” Elder Zhu muttered.

Xu Xiaolan massaged her brows and averted her gaze in embarrassment.

An Lin didn’t speak any more nonsense and immediately started to use his powers to refine the Vermilion Bird Mirror. However, he was obstructed by an extremely powerful force that prevented him from refining the mirror.

“Hmph! What a stubborn mirror! Let me show you my power!”

Divine Inspection Technique!

A white light flashed across An Lin’s eyes, and a string of information regarding the Vermilion Bird Mirror appeared in his mind.

“Vermilion Bird Mirror: The Holy Vermilion Bird Beast created the Vermilion Bird Mirror by polishing the skull of the Mythological Beast, the Divine Ice Swallow. The Vermilion Bird Mirror possesses the power of knowledge, authenticity verification, and the power to reflect enemy attacks. It’s extremely fearful of the Vermilion Bird, and if you want to forcefully refine it, just a drop of your blood essence which contains the aura of the Vermilion Bird will suffice”

An Lin immediately came to a realization upon seeing this.

He turned to Xu Xiaolan and Elder Zhu with an excited expression, as if he were trying to prove a point. “No wonder… No wonder the Vermilion Bird Origin Treasures are all so scared of me… It’s because of the Vermilion Bird aura within my body! All the Vermilion Bird Origin Treasures are averse to the Vermilion Bird, not me!”

Elder Zhu blinked in thought. He felt like An Lin had a valid point.

Xu Xiaolan was a bit more skeptical. “But… I have the Vermilion Bird bloodline flowing through my body as well, so why isn’t the Vermilion Bird Bracelet afraid of me?”

Boom!

Xu Xiaolan’s words were like a bolt of lightning which struck An Lin right in the head.

That’s true! Why weren’t they scared of Xu Xiaolan?

Why would they only be fearful of me? Why would they abandon me like this?

All of his excitement instantly vanished, and he suddenly felt extremely cold again…

Everyone else’s treasures happily accepted their masters as if they were pets who gleefully accepted their owners. However, all the treasures that he encountered ran away from him as if he were the embodiment of the plague…

“Eat my blood!”

An Lin roared as he splashed his golden blood essence all over the Vermilion Bird Mirror.

Screw it! So what if I’m not welcome by the treasures?!

I’ll just force them into submission!

The golden blood essence dripped onto the mirror, and it instantly triggered a violent tremor.

The blood essence seeped into the mirror, and the white spell formation slowly vanished from its surface.

An Lin suddenly felt a connection between himself and the mirror. This confirmed that he was the master of the mirror.

He heaved a light sigh of relief before picking up the Vermilion Bird Mirror with a smile on his face. “What’s the use of running? You belong to me now! I’m your master! Do you understand? Hah?!”

Elder Zhu: “…”

Xu Xiaolan: “…”

What kind of psychological blows would it take for someone to speak to a mirror like this?

The Vermilion Bird Mirror was an intricate, round mirror with an icy blue surface and a crimson frame.

It was around the size of a human face. After being tortured by An Lin, however, it had now been reduced to only about the size of a human hand.

Elder Zhu coughed lightly. “Seeing as you’ve both obtained the Vermilion Bird Origin Treasures that you desired, you may now leave the White Heavenly Tower.”

An Lin and Xu Xiaolan both left the White Heavenly Tower with a satisfied expression.

The Vermilion Bird Origin Treasures were the best rewards that the Vermilion Bird Sect was able to give the two of them at this point in time. From this, it was clear to see just how important the two of them were to the sect.

An Lin also received the title of an honorary elder, which allowed him to do whatever he wanted, aside from instances where the sect was being threatened. In such cases, he would be obligated to offer his aid.

He brought his elder badge to the Elder Tower to receive his remuneration for the year, which comprised of three hundred thousand spirit stones. This was an extremely large sum for normal people, but it was only three hundred steamers of stuffed buns to him…

After receiving his remuneration, Xu Xiaolan led An Lin around all the forbidden areas of the Vermilion Bird Sect, among which included forbidden areas which were only open to elders. She then gave him detailed explanations of the cultivation enhancement effects of each of the forbidden areas. Listening to Xu Xiaolan’s descriptions made An Lin’s heart flutter with excitement.

The Dao-observation forbidden areas were useless to him, but there were some forbidden areas in which he could enhance the flame power within his body. Those forbidden areas were quite useful to him. He decided that he could come to the Vermilion Bird Sect and venture through the Myriad Flame Heavenly Bridge when he reached the Soul Formation Final Stage. It was said that at the end of the bridge, there were unique treasures and pills which corresponded to the properties of the cultivators who had successfully reached its end.

On the way back, An Lin looked down at the bracelet on Xu Xiaolan’s wrist with a curious gaze. “This bracelet looks really good on you. You picked it without hearing Elder Zhu’s introduction… Did you already know about its abilities in advance?”

Xu Xiaolan also looked down at the bracelet which was radiating with a dazzling glow under the sunlight. “This Vermilion Bird Bracelet has extremely powerful defensive effects. It was the Vermilion Bird Origin Treasure that my mother used before she passed away. After their user’s pass away, the Vermilion Bird Origin Treasures are summoned back to the White Heavenly Tower by the Holy Vermilion Flame. After seeing this bracelet again, I naturally had to keep it by my side.”

An Lin was a little taken aback by Xu Xiaolan’s words.

No wonder he had never heard Xu Xiaolan mention her mother…

He also detected a hint of something else in Xu Xiaolan’s words, and he was just about to reply.

At this moment, Xu Xiaolan continued, “Let’s not talk about these things for now. After all, I can only think about these matters when I’m powerful enough.”

An Lin nodded. He knew Xu Xiaolan was saying this as she didn’t want to sweep him up in her personal vendetta.

…

Soon after, An Lin returned to his room and pulled out the Vermilion Bird Mirror again.

The Vermilion Bird Mirror was a mirror crafted by the Holy Vermilion Bird Beast, so it definitely possessed extraordinary powers. As such, An Lin felt like he should test out its abilities.

An Lin placed the mirror on the table, and using his intent, he expanded it to the size of a human face.

Not long ago, the Vermilion Bird Mirror had been able to run, tremble, and resist of its own accord. This demonstrated that it was a highly intelligent mirror.

An Lin looked at the mirror with curiosity. “Mirror mirror on the wall, I’ve heard that you’re an incredibly intelligent and knowledgeable mirror and that I can ask you any question. Is that correct?”

A string of words that was formed by white snow suddenly appeared on the icy blue surface of the mirror.

“Master, I’m the Vermilion Bird Mirror, not a magic mirror. As for the answer to your question, that’s correct!”

An Lin responded with a smile, “No! I’m your Master, and if I say you’re a magic mirror, then you’re a magic mirror! Do you understand, my cute little magic mirror?!”

A string of three words appeared on the mirror: “I don’t understand!”

“What a feisty mirror! But that’s ok, I can slowly tame you.” An Lin chuckled and asked, “Can you speak?”

Another string of text appeared. “Yes, but speaking expends more energy than materializing text.”

An Lin was excited to hear this. “Talk for me, I want to see whether you’re a male or a female.”

Another string of text appeared. “I’m not going to talk just because you told me to!”

An Lin felt as if his authority was being challenged. A sinister smile appeared on his face. “You won’t talk? Then I’ll throw you in a toilet bowl!”

“F*ck off!” a crisp and tender voice said.

An Lin nodded in satisfaction.
