A handsome young talent stood before a mirror and asked, “Mirror, mirror, where can I find my last supreme treasure from the Investiture of the Gods?”
The mirror suddenly began to swirl. Immortal music rang in his mind, and words appeared across its surface.
“On Blue Star. The road ahead is fraught with danger. Be careful, and good luck.”
Ye Qingyu furrowed his brow. You really know how to keep it brief.
“Hey, don’t just wish me luck. Can’t you give me some hints, like what it looks like or where it is? I don’t know anything. How am I supposed to find it?”
The mirror fell silent for a moment, seemingly deep in thought. Blue Star was, after all, a planet of mortals. Finding the treasure that way really wouldn’t be easy. So it continued, “Insert another coin, and I’ll tell you.”
Ye Qingyu cursed under his breath, but still took out a divine crystal and fed it into the slot. Before long, a stone dropped out beside the coin slot.
“This is a guiding stone. When you get close to the treasure you’re looking for, it will glow faintly.” With that, the mirror fell silent once more.
Ye Qingyu eyed the shabby stone suspiciously. A flame-shaped divine pattern was carved into its blue surface, the flame colored orange-red.
He wanted to ask more, but knew he would have to pay again. Shaking his head, he left.
After Ye Qingyu was gone, the mirror shifted and stirred. Then an old man and a child emerged from inside.
“Grandpa, why did you give him my toy? Now I have nothing to play with!”
“I didn’t have anything else on hand, so I had to use yours to fob him off. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left.”
“Oh, so Grandpa was lying to him?”
“Well... Oh, there’s another customer! We’d better hurry and buy some little trinkets, or we’ll have nothing left to use as props.”
