Chapter 1804: Spirit Pearl

「Old one has greeted all fellow cultivators。」

Old Xianling Grass proactively greeted Ye Zhangqing and the others with a clasped-hand salute; seeing this, Ye Zhangqing and the others also returned the salute.

After both sides exchanged greetings, the Guo Family's Second Sequence said with a smile.

「Right, these few are all honored guests of my Guo family; hurry up and bring out your good stuff. 」

Upon hearing that, Old Xianling Grass's gaze toward Ye Zhangqing and the others grew ever more curious.

Being able to make the Second Sequence say this shows that the Guo Family indeed values Ye Zhangqing and them.

Just not knowing these people's identities, they appear young; could it be that they have some deep background?

Old Xianling Grass guessed in its heart, but upon hearing the Second Sequence's words, it still respectfully nodded and replied.

「Yes. 」

Immediately, Old Xianling Grass extended its right hand; upon its withered palm, a flash of emerald-green light appeared, and ten pearls the size of fingernail caps, pure white, emerged in its hand.

From these pearls, everyone felt a rich spiritual energy, and this spiritual energy was extremely pure, as if completely free of any impurity.

Ye Zhangqing and the others had never seen these white jade pearls; Xu Jie asked curiously.

「This is............ 」

「This is a Spirit Pearl, a unique ability of the Xianling Grass, capable of continuously compressing heaven and earth spiritual energy, forging it, and finally solidifying it into form. 」

「You can regard it as the form after the Spirit Pool's upgrade. 」

「Such a single Spirit Pearl contains heaven and earth spiritual energy equivalent to ten Spirit Pools, and is also easier to refine. 」

Upon hearing the Second Sequence's introduction, Xu Jie's eyes widened, gazing at the small white jade Spirit Pearls in Old Xianling Grass's hand, his eyes full of fervor.

Such a tiny pearl actually contains heaven and earth spiritual energy comparable to ten Spirit Pools; this thing is simply heaven-defying.

In Zhu Tian Wan Jie, Spirit Pearls naturally do not exist; Xu Jie and the others are seeing them for the first time, having never even heard of them before.

So, looking at the Spirit Pearls in Old Xianling Grass's hand, each of their eyes filled with curiosity and fervor.

And after Old Xianling Grass took out the Spirit Pearls, it also proactively gifted them to Ye Zhangqing and them.

This Xu Jie is actually not at all polite, although he says with his mouth.

「How could I be embarrassed? 」

But his hand movements were not slow at all; he grabbed the Spirit Pearls in one go.

Watching Xu Jie's utterly unreserved action, the Second Sequence, who had been preparing to be polite, had its words catch in its throat.

The corner of its mouth twitched involuntarily, and it finally gave a dry laugh twice.

You don't even look the slightest bit embarrassed; at least let me say a couple of sentences so we can make excuses.

After receiving the ten Spirit Pearls from Old Xianling Grass's hand, Xu Jie curiously examined them up and down.

Each of these Spirit Pearls indeed contains a vast amount of spiritual power that can be felt.

According to the Second Sequence, the formation of these Spirit Pearls is that this whole patch of living spirit grass, after absorbing heaven and earth spiritual energy, gathers here at Old Xianling Grass.

And only then does Old Xianling Grass, using its unique ability, slowly gather them into form.

Compared to the Spirit Pool, this Spirit Pearl can be considered a fine cultivation treasure.

The Guo Family periodically comes to Old Xianling Grass to collect Spirit Pearls.

However, the quantity is not large; on average, it's only about a hundred or so per year.

And for those like them, the Sequence disciples, they can only receive one or two each year.

Ordinary Guo family members basically only get a chance to obtain this Spirit Pearl after being rewarded for merit.

Therefore, compared to that Spirit Pool, this Spirit Pearl is indeed much better.

The Second Sequence's gesture is indeed generous; right off the bat it gave ten.

Xu Jie, with a greedy face, stored the Spirit Pearls into his Space Ring; seeing this, Zhao Zhengping beside him frowned and said.

「You took them all? 」

All ten Spirit Pearls were taken by Xu Jie alone; upon hearing that, Xu Jie grinned.

「What's our relationship? I'll hold onto them first, then we'll split them later. 」

「Heh, will I even be lucky enough to see this Spirit Pearl? 」

Upon hearing that, Zhao Zhengping gave a cold grin, saying, 'The things that have gone into your Xu San's pocket—can we even see them again?'

In response, Xu Jie replied without blushing or his heart racing.

「You'll definitely be able to see it, Senior Brother, you don't even trust me? 」

「The person I trust the least is you. 」

Zhao Zhengping spoke without any concealment: 'Can you trust someone who can't even cleanse their heart in a Mind-Washing Pool?'

In Zhao Zhengping's heart, some things Xu Jie is trustworthy, but some things, the words of Xú Lǎosān are not believable at all; whoever believes them is a fool.

Upon hearing that, Xu Jie didn't care either, and had no intention of taking out those Spirit Pearls.

After storing the Spirit Pearls, he instead turned his head with a fervent expression toward Old Xianling Grass.

His gaze seemed to be looking at some unparalleled treasure, or perhaps an unparalleled beauty.

Sensing such fervent gaze, Old Xianling Grass couldn't help but feel a chill down its spine, mainly because it has lived so many years and has never seen such a fervent gaze.

Under such fervent gaze, Old Xianling Grass couldn't help but feel a cold rise in its heart, as if it were about to be eaten.

This Xu Jie is not right.

Even though its cultivation and strength are far superior to Xu Jie's, at this moment, facing Xu Jie's gaze, Old Xianling Grass still couldn't help but feel uncertain, constantly muttering to itself.

「Let's go. 」

The Second Sequence, however, hadn't noticed these; it said to Ye Zhangqing, and upon hearing that, Ye Zhangqing nodded in response.

Seeing this, Old Xianling Grass immediately planned to take its leave, after all, it normally does not leave the living spirit grass sea, living there year-round.

But before Old Xianling Grass could speak, Xu Jie had already come to its side at some point, speaking enthusiastically.

"Senior, if you have nothing to do, why not travel with us for a while? Coincidentally, we juniors have some matters regarding the spirit pearl we'd like to ask you about."

Huh???

Hearing Xu Jie's words, the old Xianling Grass felt strange inside, instinctively thinking this kid had a problem, but for a moment couldn't put it into words.

Unconsciously, he directed his gaze toward the Second Sequence.

After all, the Second Sequence had just said that Ye Zhangqing and his group were honored guests of the Guo family, so it couldn't bluntly refuse.

Faced with the old Xianling Grass's gaze, the Second Sequence didn't think much and casually said.

"Then let's accompany us for a stretch."

"This.............."

The Second Sequence only thought that Xu Jie had never seen a spirit pearl, had no prior contact, so he wanted to ask the old Xianling Grass some questions about the spirit pearl.

Although using the spirit pearl is very simple, it can even be said that you don't need to do anything proactively.

Just like absorbing the Línglì from refining spirit stones, you just need to absorb the Línglì within it; moreover, the Línglì inside the spirit pearl doesn't require you to actively refine it.

After entering the body, it not only doesn't cause pressure on the body, but can also, while enhancing cultivation, autonomously stabilize the meridians within; one could say its use is very simple.

As long as one can refine spirit stones, one can use the spirit pearl, so there's nothing to ask about.

However, since Xu Jie has spoken up, this small matter, the Second Sequence naturally won't refuse his face.
