An Lin was relieved to hear that the magic mirror had a tender, female voice.

Only a cute voice like this could suit his tastes!

“Magic mirror, you have a beautiful voice. Can you sing a song for me?” An Lin asked with a smile.

Vermilion Bird Mirror: “…”

Light suddenly flashed across the surface of the icy blue mirror.

“Master, I’ve just conducted a mental evaluation on you, and I’ve discovered that you act like a mentally unstable person. This is because you’re fuelled by the negative emotions of abandonment and inferiority. You want to communicate with me and obtain my approval in order to fill the gaping hole in your heart.” The mirror’s crisp and tender voice sounded again.

An Lin was shocked. He didn’t think that the Vermilion Bird Mirror had an ability like this.

“What should I do then? Can you fill the emptiness in my heart?” An Lin asked with a sincere expression.

“I want to switch to another master,” the Vermilion Bird Mirror replied.

An Lin: “…”

He felt as if his heart had been pierced by a sword.

An Lin silently stowed his Vermilion Bird Mirror into his storage ring. He suddenly thought of his Evil-Slaying Sword, and he grew even more depressed.

Why are all of the weapons that are able to communicate with me so bristly and difficult to tame? Only the ever-reliable black brick and frying pan are truly my friends.

An Lin brought out five shiny storage rings from his storage ring.

These were the storage rings of the five Holy Palace Leaders that he had slain. He hadn’t had a chance to go through them yet, so now was the perfect opportunity to do so.

He looked at the five storage rings with excitement in his mind. After all, these were the storage rings of Return to Void Stage mighty figures. Surely supreme beings like them had some valuable treasures in their storage rings.

It was always extremely exciting to pick up items dropped by Bosses!

An Lin cast his mind back to the battle to determine the sequence of the storage rings. He decided to pick up the storage ring that was inscribed with the picture of a plum flower first. This was the storage ring of the snow maiden who was severely wounded even before she had appeared before him.

He had a habit of leaving the best things for last, so he decided to start off with the storage ring of the snow maiden who appeared to be the weakest among the five.

After refining the storage ring, he started to inspect its contents.

Fifty-five vital stones, six spirit tools, around a dozen spirit pills, around a dozen spirit fruits, and… that was all.

An Lin looked up at the sky and sighed with emotion.

So poor!

However, he wasn’t disheartened, and he started to refine the second storage ring. This was the storage ring that belonged to the Holy Palace Leader with blue hands.

He inspected the contents of the storage ring with an expectant gaze.

Sixty-two vital stones, three high-rank spirit tools, several spirit pills, around a dozen ice-type spirit fruits, and… that was it.

An Lin: “…”

How can a Holy Palace Leader be so damn poor? This doesn’t make sense!

Their net worth was pitiful, even when compared to some of the Soul Formation Stage cultivators on the Tai Chu Continent!

Is the Kingdom of the Nine States too rich or are the Holy Glacial Lands too poor?

This made An Lin think of Earth. If there were a Return to Void Stage supreme being on Earth, this would probably be what their net worth comprised of…

He inspected the third storage ring with a disappointed sigh. This was the storage ring of the snow maiden with the white bead.

Inside the storage ring, there were eighty vital stones, several spirit pills, several spirit fruits, and a lot of special local products from the Holy Glacial Lands. These items were pretty valuable, but at the same time, not all that valuable.

An Lin heaved another light, forlorn sigh. That snow maiden’s white bead was most likely an immortal tool… It was a shame that he had smashed it with his Mountain Quaking Fist.

An Lin massaged his brows as he refined the storage ring of the swordswoman snow maiden.

From what An Lin could recall, the swordswoman snow maiden was the second most powerful of the five Holy Palace Leaders under Qing Li. This meant that she was at least of the Return to Void Intermediate Stage or Return to Void Final Stage.

A smile finally appeared on his face after he refined this snow maiden’s storage ring.

There were one hundred and five vital stones, two immortal pills, around a dozen spirit pills, one immortal fruit, around a dozen spirit fruits, and a bunch of other materials and ingredients. But most importantly, there was an immortal tool in there!

This was a pristine white longsword.

An Lin eagerly unleashed his Divine Inspection Technique on the sword.

“Heart Lotus Ice Sword, elementary-rank immortal sword. This ice-type immortal sword was crafted from a Geocentric Ice Lotus that only materializes once every one hundred thousand years. This sword can freeze everything in its path and is capable of attaining the Lotus Realm Spatial Power when it levels up to the high-rank. This sword is suitable for ice or sword cultivators.”

An Lin elatedly stowed the immortal sword away before inspecting the immortal pills and the immortal fruit.

Both of the immortal pills were eighth-grade immortal pills which possessed extremely potent regenerative effects.

The immortal fruit was a Dark Ice Fruit, and this was a sixth-grade immortal fruit that could enhance one’s ice-type powers.

He stowed them all away!

Finally, he turned his eyes to the last storage ring and gulped audibly.

This was Qing Li’s storage ring!

This was the snow maiden who had almost killed him.

She was the snow maiden that the High Priestess, Meng Zhi, had entrusted the Flame-Sealing Disc to. From this alone, it was easy to tell that she was far more powerful than the average Holy Palace Leader. Thus, her storage ring was most likely quite stacked as well.

An Lin carefully refined the storage ring. Then, he took a deep breath before looking into the storage ring.

An Lin was immediately rooted to the spot in shock!

He chuckled like a fully-grown infant as he looked at the contents of the storage ring.

Two hundred vital stones!

There was also an immortal tool which appeared to be a high-rank immortal tool!

There were over twenty spirit tools, one high-rank immortal pill, a huge pile of spirit pills and spirit fruits, another huge pile of indeterminate materials, and three ice orbs. An Lin didn’t know what the ice orbs were, but he could detect extremely powerful energy fluctuations emanating from them!

An Lin immediately unleashed his Divine Inspection Technique. He turned to the immortal tool first.

“High-rank immortal tool—Heavenly Frost Shard. This is an immortal tool that possesses extremely powerful ice properties. Crafted by the third Great Empress from the Flying Frost Stars. When used in conjunction with spatial manipulation techniques, this immortal tool can increase the power of the user’s spatial seal by fivefold.”

The information displayed was very simple and concise, but astonishing nonetheless.

The fact that it was personally crafted by a past Great Empress from the Flying Frost Stars hinted at just how extraordinary this immortal tool was. Its ability to increase spatial sealing powers by fivefold essentially meant that An Lin could freeze whoever he wanted once he progressed to the Return to Void Stage and gained spatial manipulation abilities!

An Lin gleefully stowed the immortal tool away before inspecting the immortal pill.

“Second-grade immortal pill—Pill of Nine Lives. This pill was created by refining nine different types of immortal fruits, each of which contained extremely powerful life-forces, for nine hundred years. This process condensed all of the immortal fruits’ essences into one pill. Consumption of this pill can bring one back from the brink of death and drastically enhance the consumer’s vitality and life force.”

An Lin fell silent as he stared at the pill.

He stroked his head of white hair as he sat in silence. Everyone else thought that his white hair made him appear more ethereal and mysterious. However, he didn’t like it, as it was a sign of excessive life-force expenditure.

He had tried shaving his hair and re-growing it with hair-growth pills, but the hair that eventually grew was still white. As such, he could only dye his hair if he wanted to have black hair.

An Lin sighed as he thought of Jiang Yanan. According to rumors, he had purposefully dyed his hair white to achieve a certain demeanor. An Lin’s chest constricted at the thought of this. He really wanted to swap hair with Jiang Yanan…

Xu Xiaolan frequently tried to inquire An Lin about his condition.

An Lin could sense her guilt and concern, so he always told her not to worry. After all, he was rich now, and he could just purchase some life-force replenishment pills once he returned to the Heavenly Court.

The lifespan deducted by the system was probably unrecoverable, but the life-force expended through excessive usage of the Divine Simulation Technique was probably theoretically still recoverable.

He had initially planned on asking Yi Xi to refine some life-force replenishing pills after returning to the Heavenly Court. However, who’d have thought that he would obtain an immortal pill with such an effect now…

“Now, let’s see what effect this high-rank immortal pill has.”

An Lin swallowed the translucent, white-colored immortal pill without any hesitation!
