When the last person left the room, the sunset had already filled the sky.
Today, she had used up so much of her mental power. She really had to find a place to train, and cultivate in the same room as Qi Hao.
When these people saw that their families were safe and sound, they were all overjoyed. His attitude towards Zi Ling became more and more friendly and respectful.
Feeling the gazes of the surrounding people, Zi Ling pretended not to see them and slowly led them away.
“Miss, thank you.” The leading man in gray thanked him again.
Zi Ling waved her hand, “We have our own requests, so there’s no need to thank me. But right now, I need to go to the Sacred Pond to recover. Don’t let anyone disturb me.”
Zi Ling’s face was currently pale. Anyone could tell that she was extremely tired from just looking at her. Without much thought, she nodded and said, “Alright, I won’t allow anyone to disturb you. Does Miss still have any other needs?” “Ol ‘Seven is a Potion Master, and even has many Mysterious General grade potions.”
Zi Ling waved her hand, “No need, I have these.”
Zi Ling didn’t even glance at Qi Hao’s location. She gripped her spirit stone tightly, recovering while walking out of the village.
Skybird saw Zi Ling leave by herself and didn’t say a word to its master. He secretly rejoiced in his heart. Perhaps if he worked hard, Miss Xue Yi could replace her position in his master’s heart.
But what he didn’t know was that although his master wasn’t looking at her, his attention had always been on her.
After the purple silk left the village, it rode on its sword and quickly approached the Sacred Pond.
Heavenly Dragon Marrow…
For a moment, she didn’t think of anything else but to focus on the cultivation world’s priceless treasure, the Divine Dragon Marrow.
When she once again saw the whole pool of God Dragon Marrow, she threw everything else to the back of her mind and immediately put a bottle away in a jade bottle. The rich smell instantly entered her nose.
The main reason for the sudden worsening of the illness was because of the effects of the Phoenix Blood Saliva and the Divine Dragon Marrow. However, if it was normal inhalation, as long as it wasn’t an especially sensitive physique, it would take at least one to two hundred years before it could cause someone to die.
She had already done what she could. As for the harm caused by absorbing the aura from the Divine Dragon Marrow, she naturally would not tell them.
Fortunately, she had a wide range of knowledge in her past life and had learned how to refine pills in the first place. However, she had spent too much time refining pills and had given up on refining. For example, a storage bag or a storage ring, it was only a low-grade item. The items it could hold were very limited, and if she hadn’t specifically ordered the Shadow Devil to buy dozens of jade bottles for her, she would have been left with no other choice.
He filled each bottle and put them into his storage bag. His mood also became better and better. With these God Dragon Marrow, he could refine a few batches of pills that were needed for his early Core Formation stage. This would shorten his time to the middle stage of Core Formation by at least three to four years.
In one breath, she drank more than ten bottles and put them into her storage bag. The smile on her face grew wider. When these things appeared in the cultivation world, even Nascent Soul Stage old monsters would go crazy. A cultivator receiving a few drops was already a heaven-defying opportunity, but she actually obtained so many in one go.
On the road of cultivation, greed was the most taboo. She was satisfied with only ten bottles, so she never thought of taking away all the God Dragon Marrow.
Right at this moment, a bead suddenly rolled out from his bosom and fell into the Sacred Pond.
“Wind Setting Bead.” Seeing that the pearl had fallen, Zi Ling quickly reached out to grab it, but a hurricane suddenly rose up in the pond and Zi Ling quickly took a step back.
The hurricane became more and more intense. The God Dragon Marrow in the pool stirred up thousands of ripples in a small area.
Zi Ling did not expect that such a big commotion would be caused by such a small bead, so she immediately used her spiritual sense to observe the surroundings. Fortunately, there was no one around, so she focused on watching the movements in the pool.
When she saw it, her jaw dropped. The waves from the Heavenly Dragon Marrow all surged towards a certain spot — the Wind Setting Bead that was suspended in the middle of the air.
The amount of Heavenly Dragon Marrow in the pool rapidly decreased. In just a few moments, the entire pool was completely devoid of any trace of it.
Zi Ling half opened her mouth as she blankly stared at the milky white pearl floating in the air.
This… What was going on?
Then, she thought of an even more serious problem. Not a single drop of the Divine Dragon Marrow remained. If the gray-clothed men discovered this, it would likely create another wave of trouble.
The bead hanging in the air shook and suddenly floated towards the purple Ling. Zi Ling opened her palm, and the milky white pearl landed on her palm firmly. A warm feeling spread throughout her body.
She slowly raised her hand and brought the pearl closer to her. She murmured, “Could it be that this pool of God Dragon Marrow was absorbed by it?”
She could not think of a better explanation, nor could she understand when the Absolute Wind Pearl would be able to contain so much of the Divine Dragon Marrow.
The pearl in her palm lightly trembled, and she seemed to be able to feel the joy that came from the Absolute Wind Pearl.
“Human, thank you for waking me up.” An aged voice suddenly rang out in Zi Ling’s mind.
“Who?” Just as Zi Ling shouted, she suddenly had a thought and looked down at the pearl in her hand.
“Yes, that’s me.” The voice paused for a moment, “I am this pearl artifact spirit. I was heavily injured during the ancient times, which is why I have been covered in dust this entire time.”
Then, a large paragraph of information appeared in his mind. It was roughly telling the purple silk that the bead’s real name was the Chaotic Pearl, and that no one had ever awakened the artifact spirit before, so the name of the bead was changed and it was used as a top grade spirit treasure. But how would they know that the thing in their hands was a Chaos Pearl that was formed from seizing the natural powers of the heaven and earth.
Very quickly, Zi Ling found out the usage of the Chaos Pearl. Previously, changing the weather and purifying the light were the most common methods used by the Pearl of Primal Chaos. If he had enough items for the artifact spirit to devour, he could even stop time and tear apart space.
Zi Ling looked at the small bead in her hand and was stunned by its divine ability for a moment, unable to recover her senses. She thought back to the first time she saw it, and how it had actually stayed in the spirit beast’s nest.
“Little girl, I advise you to hide me well. It’s best if you don’t let anyone discover my existence until you’re in the Divine Clone Stage.” The artifact spirit within the Primal Chaos Pearl warned Zi Ling. It didn’t want to constantly change its master, resulting in it falling into a deep slumber for another ten thousand years.
Zi Ling gave an inexplicable smile. In this world, where did cultivators come to covet her treasures? However, she still followed the artifact spirit and said, “Don’t worry, even if you don’t say anything, I won’t mind if my life is too long.” Putting aside the fact that the bead had absorbed so much God Dragon Marrow, just a casual display of its abilities was enough for those supreme elders to risk their lives to snatch it away.
“Little girl, that thing just now was not bad. If there’s a chance, find me some more to eat. When I completely recover, although I can’t immediately let you ascend to the Immortal Realm, at least others can’t kill you or stop you.”
Zi Ling pouted. ‘Can I casually find the God Dragon Marrow?’ He had to find more for it to eat, but Zi Ling’s heart was moved by the latter sentence. If the chaos pearl could stop time and tear apart the void, then he would be in an invincible position. Even if he met with an unshakable almighty being, he would not be afraid.
“What can you recover from?” She did not believe that the Chaos Pearl only ate the Divine Dragon Marrow. If it really was like that, then she would never be able to use it again. After all, she had cultivated for over a hundred years and had only seen so much Divine Dragon Marrow today.
“You can eat anything that has spiritual energy, but don’t give those ordinary things to me. It’s useless eating them, so why not not eat them?” The spiritual taste of the Chaos Pearl had long been nurtured by Diao Diao. Unless it was a rare spiritual object, it would never be able to enter its eyes.
Zi Ling’s mood was heavy. She definitely wouldn’t take out the God Dragon Marrow from her storage bag because taking it out wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between her teeth with the chaos pearl spirit. Like this, how would she be able to find a divine object comparable to the God Dragon Marrow to raise this spirit artifact? If she couldn’t raise an artifact spirit, wouldn’t she be a waste with the Chaos Pearl in her hands?
The Heavenly Dao was indeed balanced. Since it was a heaven-defying object, it was naturally not something that could be used that easily. Otherwise, the rules of this world would be broken. Zi Ling was at a loss for a while before finally deciding to let nature take its course: what should be her own was hers, insisting on it would be useless. Being able to obtain the chaos beads was her fate. As for whether she could use it or not, that would depend on her fate in the future.
Zi Ling did not say anything else and put the Pearl of Primal Chaos into her storage bag. When she saw the empty pool once again, she felt a headache.
Originally, she had planned to collect some God Dragon Marrow and take her leave. In that case, if she didn’t let Qi Hao and the others leave with her, then when the time came, they might take the blame for her.
She didn’t like to meddle in other people’s business, but she also didn’t like to implicate others.
Since returning now would attract suspicion, Zi Ling calmed down and started to cultivate by the side of the empty pond. It wasn’t until it was dark and her body was filled with spiritual energy that she got up and walked towards the valley at the back of the mountain.
As soon as she entered the valley, she heard a burst of jubilant laughter. It was completely different from the lifeless look she had a few days ago.
As she walked in, Qi Hao, who was surrounded by people, slowly appeared in her line of sight. Noticing her gaze, Qi Hao slowly raised his head and saw the purple silk that came in from the valley entrance.
Beside Qi Hao, the dimples on the cheeks of the beautiful woman called Xue Yi were flickering, and her bright eyes were staring at Qi Hao.
Zi Ling only took a glance before she circled around to return to her room before the crowd noticed her.
He got rid of all distractions and started cultivating …
At this moment, Qi Hao pushed open the door and entered.
Zi Ling raised her eyes and looked at him, “It’s great that you’re back. I have something to tell you.”
Qi Hao pushed the wheel forward. “Oh? “What is it?”
“You’d better come down the mountain with me tomorrow.”
Qi Hao originally planned to go down the mountain tomorrow. After all, for him right now, Qi Ming was the biggest threat. However, he felt that there was something wrong with Zi Ling’s tone. Thus, he asked, “Did something happen?”
Zi Ling’s eyes flickered. “I don’t know why the water in the Sacred Pond disappeared. I think that thing must be rather precious to these people.” Sooner or later, she wouldn’t be able to hide this matter, so she decided to tell Qi Hao.
After Qi Hao finished listening, his gaze swept around Zi Ling’s face, then he suddenly laughed, “Fine, let’s go down the mountain together tomorrow.”
Qi Hao’s laugh caused Zi Ling to feel somewhat uneasy. It was as though he could see through her thoughts. Although she didn’t ask, she was afraid that he was certain that the disappearance of the Divine Dragon Marrow was related to her.
Let’s be sure… In any case, he didn’t know the exact details.
Thinking to this point, Zi Ling calmly faced Qi Hao, not saying another word.
