Chapter 234 New World

Zheng Yi carefully sensed for a while before he was sure that he was indeed under water.

It should be a small stream with not very fast current, about one meter away from the water surface.

The width of the stream is not very wide, about seven or eight meters.

But... he discovered the biggest problem.

He is not traveling through time and space in his body, soul, or reincarnation.

But... a mirror!
Yes, now he has become a mirror.

A bronze oval mirror, only the size of a finger, was quietly stuck on the edge of the message, surrounded by mud and aquatic plants.

After carefully perceiving it, the appearance of this small round mirror formed in his mind.

The mirror surface is dull, while the back is made of bronze, which is very similar to the back of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

But if you look closely, there are many differences.

Now, it is like he has a 360-degree 3D camera with no blind spots, which can observe any situation in the surrounding area.

Simply put, the grade of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror is far superior to that of this small bronze mirror.

With a thought, his spirit quickly returned to his own sea of ​​consciousness.

The Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror was still floating quietly in his sea of ​​consciousness.

"What exactly is going on?"

As soon as doubts arose in my mind, lines of words appeared on the mirror of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror again.

[Reflecting the heavens and myriad worlds, the phantom of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror can be the coordinates of myriad worlds, and can be the channel of myriad worlds. ]

[After meeting certain conditions, you can travel through the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror phantom. ]

"Ok?"

"That is to say, I cannot travel through time now, only when certain conditions are met... What conditions?"

The words on the mirror of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror disappeared, clouds and mist rolled, and soon another line of words appeared.

[Power of Time: 0/100. ]

"The power of time? What is this?"

Zheng Yi was stunned. He originally thought that he could travel through time directly with the help of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror, but he didn't expect that there would be another condition?

But what exactly is this power of time?
After much thought, Zheng Yi could not find the answer. He could only enter the Three Thousand Worlds through the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror again and concentrate his mind on the phantom of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

After a period of exploration, he quickly figured out the function of this phantom.

In general, this small bronze mirror is actually an illusion of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

He can use this bronze mirror as the center to scan the surrounding environment, about ten meters in radius.

In addition, he can also use his own mental power to write words on the bronze mirror like the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror, or emit light, spiritual fluctuations, etc.

But...what's the use of this?

He is in the river now and is buried in the mud. He can't just go with the flow.

Could it be that... I can only stay here quietly?

He waited patiently, and when the sky gradually brightened, Zheng Yi quickly sensed something.

The flow of the river in the distance began to speed up.

Not long after, he actually 'saw' a group of ragged people with rolled-up trouser legs walking towards the river.

Holding fishing nets, bamboo sieves, shovels and other tools in their hands, they stepped into the river, began to scoop up the mud and sand at the bottom of the river, and then continued to wash it.

"What are you doing?"

Zheng Yi was completely confused. He was at the edge of the stream and was stuck by the pebbles on the edge, so he was not discovered by the group of people.

Soon he discovered more details.

It seems that all those people who go to the river to wash mud and sand are from poor families.

They were all skinny, ragged, and sleeping in the open air. There were children and adults of all ages.

On the shore, there were often two or three figures in gray clothes with the same patterns embroidered on their chests, watching back and forth.

Suddenly, a young man in the river shouted, picked out something from the bamboo sieve in his hand, and ran towards the shore excitedly.

The gray-clothed man who was closest to the shore quickly rushed over, carefully grabbed the boy's hand and examined it, then nodded with satisfaction and patted the boy's shoulder vigorously.

The young man smiled, and the man in gray took out a pen and a booklet from his storage bag and started recording.

The boy then went back into the water and repeated the previous actions.

Zheng Yi reacted quickly and suddenly realized: "Is this panning for gold? No, it's... panning for spiritual sand!"

The so-called spiritual sand is an aggregate of spiritual energy formed by the concentration of spiritual energy in certain minerals.

The most basic ones are the various spirit stone veins.

Hidden in famous mountains and rivers and spiritual veins, for example, there is a spiritual vein on Tianshou Mountain.

Unfortunately, if we want to wait for the spiritual veins of Tianshou Mountain to condense into spiritual stone veins, we don’t know how long we have to wait.

In addition to spirit stones, there is also spirit sand.

Among famous mountains and rivers, there must be rivers, waterfalls, lakes, etc.

And in these rivers, waterfalls and lakes, a large amount of spiritual sand will be formed due to various reasons, such as the erosion of river water or the outflow from spiritual sand veins.

If you want to find these spiritual sands, you must spend a lot of manpower to wash them.

Just like panning for gold.

These ragged mortals are being guarded by these monks and are panning for spiritual sand in the river!
Suddenly, Zheng Yi had an idea, and lines of words appeared on the mirror of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

[You witnessed a monk family abducting mortals to wash spiritual sand, the power of time +0.001. ]

The power of time has increased!
Zheng Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he reacted quickly.

So that's how the power of time comes from!

The more things you or the phantom of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror experiences and the more history you witness, the more power of time you will gain.

Just a mortal's work of washing spiritual sand can increase the score by 0.001 points.

So as you witness more things and history, won’t the power of time increase faster?

But now he was trapped under the pebbles and mud, how could he attract the attention of the monks? Just then, Zheng Yi saw a dark-skinned middle-aged man walking over.

He grabbed the bamboo sieve with both hands and scooped it under the river, scooping up a lot of mud and sand. Then he shook it vigorously, trying to find the spiritual sand hidden at the bottom of the riverbed.

However, his luck was obviously not as good as that of the young man just now. There was no spiritual sand in the sieve of mud and sand.

But he was not discouraged and continued to dig and wash the mud.

Zheng Yi's mind moved and he immediately came up with an idea.

The bronze mirror hidden under the pebbles suddenly emitted a faint light.

This light looks extremely dreamy when reflected in the river.

The middle-aged man who was washing the spiritual sand suddenly stopped, put the bamboo sieve into the river water, and rubbed his eyes hard, as if he couldn't believe it.

He reacted quickly, but did not stop the actions of his hands. Instead, he continued to wash the spiritual sand while quietly moving towards this side.

Zheng Yi was full of confusion. What was this man doing? Why didn't he quickly pick himself up and hand him over to the monk on the shore?

Or……

Finally, the middle-aged man reached the shore, pretended to bend down to dig mud and sand, while his right hand frantically rummaged through the pile of pebbles.

Soon, he found something, which was the phantom of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror.

After shaking in the river for a while, the real panel of the ancient bronze mirror was revealed, and a look of surprise flashed across his eyes.

Spiritual creature!

It is definitely a spiritual object!
This spiritual object seemed to be glowing just now. Perhaps it is a magical weapon used by immortal masters.

If you take it out, you can definitely sell it for a good price.

Don't let the Zhang family find out.

Thinking of this, the surprise in his eyes turned into greed. He then bent down, stepped on the ancient mirror, and held it tightly with his thumb.

The Zhang family only gave ten cents for finding a piece of spiritual sand, which was really too little.

This spiritual object is definitely worth more than ten cents. If...

Depend on!
The big black man was happily fantasizing about something, but Zheng Yi cursed in his heart.

What the hell!
I want the monk to get it, so that he can definitely witness a lot of history and gain time points.

But what use can a mortal like you have on me?

And... he stepped on me.

It is really... this is intolerable!
His mind moved, his magic power surged, and a faint spiritual energy wave immediately emanated from the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror phantom.

Mortals cannot detect this kind of spiritual fluctuation.

But for the monks, especially those who are mentally sensitive and close to them, they can quickly discover it.

as predicted.

A gray-robed monk who was patrolling on the shore suddenly turned around and looked at the black man, then walked over quickly.

The black man was still happily washing the spiritual sand, mentally preparing to ask for leave to go to the toilet and hide the treasure in the toilet.

Wait until everyone has rested at night, then quietly bring it over.

Perhaps it was a blessing that never comes alone, he actually found another piece of spiritual sand in the mud. He was really lucky.

As I was thinking about it, I suddenly felt a shadow above my head.

I looked up subconsciously and saw a man in gray floating in the air, staring at me coldly.

"Master, what do you want me to do?"

"take it out."

"Yes Yes Yes Yes……"

The big black man quickly picked out the spiritual sand from the bamboo sieve and handed it over respectfully.

"Master, my name is Niu Dashan, and this is the first spiritual sand I found today."

"anything else?"

"W-what?"

Niu Dashan said in panic: "No, no more, this is all I have..."

"court death!"

The gray-robed monk shouted coldly and waved his hand casually. A beam of sword light shot out and instantly pierced Niu Dashan's chest.

"puff!"

"Master, for me, for me..."

After struggling for a while, Niu Dashan's face was full of despair, and finally he fell heavily into the river and died.

Without his control, the phantom of the Yin-Yang Treasure Mirror also flowed out of the river.

The gray-robed monk focused his eyes and quickly discovered the ancient bronze mirror. He reached out and grabbed it in his hand.

"Mirror fragments? It was the one that emitted the spiritual energy fluctuations just now... Could it be the fragments of a magic weapon?"

The fragments all have spiritual fluctuations, and their grade is at least above the top-grade magical tools.

He deserves this fate.

"what……!"

At this time, the mortals around him also noticed the gray-robed monk's actions and seemed extremely flustered, but they quickly stabilized.

Another figure flew over. This person was wearing a white robe and frowned, "Niu Liang, what happened?"

The monk named Niu Liang turned around quickly and said respectfully, "Third Young Master, this mortal dared to hide the spiritual sand. I was discovered by my subordinates and punished him."

The white-robed monk frowned and said, "My Zhang family has just occupied the Weiyang River, so we should be lenient to others. Otherwise, how can the surrounding mortals be loyal to us and serve us?"

"Forget it. From now on, any mortal who is found to be hiding the spiritual sand will be expelled on the spot. The whole family is not allowed to live around Weiyang Mountain and will not be protected by our Zhang family."

"It's the Seventh Young Master. I understand."

"Keep on patrol."

"Yes!"
