Chapter 1393: Qian Heaven Fire Spirit Pearl — The Shock Brought by Cultivation Art and Elixir (5/5, begging for subscriptions)

"There's actually merit — what do I do?"

Li Yingqiong was a little flustered.

She had been in the chat group for some time now, and naturally knew the wondrous uses of merit.

If she used it to raise her cultivation base, that would be far too great a loss.

Spirit pills and wondrous medicines could be obtained at any time, but merit was hard to come by even in a thousand years — anyone with a grain of sense would know which to choose.

Suddenly, she recalled a precious pearl her subordinate had presented earlier and hurriedly took it out to bear the merit.

The pearl, originally crimson-red and the size of a longan, took on a reddish-gold hue after bearing the merit; a hazy treasure-light shimmered across its surface — clearly no ordinary object at a glance.

This pearl was the inner core of a Wen Spider, already nine-tenths refined, transformed into a Qian Heaven Fire Spirit Pearl; it was only because this treasure harmed the harmony of Heaven that the Wen Spider suffered a tribulation when its treasure was complete.

Afterwards the spirit pearl was buried underground, refined for several thousand years by the condensing force of the earth's veins, and had already become a strange treasure.

Li Yingqiong had overthrown the world and her fortune waxed greatly; although she had not obtained the Zi Ying Sword as in the original tale, she had another extraordinary fate — a subordinate discovered this object and presented it to her.

Previously she had only thought to refine it with immortal arts after she had cultivated the Dao.

Now that merit was right before her eyes, she had no choice but to use this treasure to bear it.

Who could have known that a mistake would prove fortunate — this treasure, bearing the merit, became incomparably wondrous, transforming into a streak of golden light that suddenly flew up and entered her sea of consciousness, where its radiance bloomed and shone behind her.

At the same time, she also understood the function of this treasure.

Guarding her side, no evil could intrude; through the cycles of reincarnation, her true spirit would not be lost.

When true qi was raised to summon it, it could unleash divine fire, specifically burning the Golden Body of immortals and buddhas; it could also be hurled directly at a person — its weight was astonishing, and an ordinary cultivator would die upon contact.

If merit, or fire- or earth-attribute spirit objects, were added later for refinement, this treasure's power could continue to grow.

After being tempered by merit, this pearl had already become a spirit treasure capable of growth.

"You were originally the Qian Heaven Fire Spirit Pearl, but having received merit, you can now melt and refine all things to grow — why not just call you the Qiankun Pearl. It happens that Brother Taixuan also has a Qiankun Cauldron; I'll let him see it someday."

Just as she was thinking this, she sensed a sharp, fierce aura descend; looking up, she saw a sword-light manifest, revealing a Daoist of immortal bearing and otherworldly air.

"May I ask where the True Person has come from?" Li Yingqiong hurriedly rose and carefully responded.

"This poor Daoist comes from Emei; seeing merit descend, I could not help but disturb you, little friend — please do not take offense." True Person Miaoyi did not put on airs; upon seeing the auspicious light in waves behind Li Yingqiong, he could not help being astonished.

She had not yet begun cultivating yet already had such a sight — after cultivating for a thousand years, would she not become another extraordinary existence?

The woman before him — her future achievements were likely to surpass even his own.

"So it is an immortal True Person of Emei who has descended."

Li Yingqiong let out a breath of relief and hurriedly paid her respects: "This junior is Li Yingqiong, paying respects to the True Person."

"Quickly, rise — no need for such ceremony!" True Person Miaoyi lifted her up with a gesture through the air. "You are now the lord of the human realm; ordinary people would not dare receive your bow."

Li Yingqiong was startled: "Lord of the human realm? Didn't I already distribute the imperial authority outward?"
