Chapter 1141: Shaohui (II)
Palace of Radiant Purity Supreme Yin.
White snow was piled high beneath the moonlit lampstand. Lu Jiangxian sat at the table as the many illusions before him slowly faded away.
Chi Buzi... quite the capable one indeed.
Lu Jiangxian, of course, no longer possessed the ability to draw others fully into the world within the mirror or take things directly from it. The formation Chi Buzi had used to link himself to the Exalted Immortal Mirror was, in essence, no different from the techniques employed by Maha Jinlian and the five-eyed Merciful One. It was akin to stepping into a great illusion.
Yet Chi Buzi differed from Jinlian and the five-eyed in that he came with intent. He had not trembled and kneeled below, but freely moved within the illusion! He could even take or place items as he pleased. If Chi Buzi wished to retrieve something from his storage pouch, Lu Jiangxian could indeed manifest it... but what then?
Chi Buzi is cunning. I can't control his storage pouch. Even if I manifest the object here, the moment he hands it to Dangjiang or sets it down in this place, he'll check his pouch afterward. If he still finds it there, he'll immediately grasp the truth.
The Immortal Mirror still lacked the ability to truly transfer objects between realms, which was an obvious and fatal flaw. Hence, Lu Jiangxian had preemptively sealed Chi Buzi's storage pouch. Yet Dangjiang’s mere words had already stirred suspicion in him. Believing the place to be an illusion, Chi Buzi had tried to take something as a keepsake. Once he left and checked his sleeve, he would immediately know whether it was real or not.
Lu Jiangxian could, of course, have arranged for Dangjiang to fabricate celestial rules to block him, making it impossible to take anything. But Chi Buzi was not one to be easily fooled. The claim that his true self had arrived was meant to dispel the lingering doubt from their last encounter. Using the same trick twice on a cultivator of the Purple Mansion Realm would only deepen their suspicion.
Thus, Lu Jiangxian had deliberately allowed Chi Buzi to 'take' a Supreme Yin spirit item back with him. It was the only item Lu Jiangxian could truly condense in the manifest world, and would temporarily veil the flaw.
But this method can only be used once. Let's first exploit it to obtain what he has and pacify his suspicions with that priceless Supreme Yin treasure... If he dares to expect another response in the future, he can forget about getting any more Purple Mansion Realm demonic creatures!
