it must be the handiwork of a master sculptor, containing a trace of unique spiritual power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this an art that transitions to the path, or is it the doing of a Great Grandmaster?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan guessed it was a Great Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This must be the token of Yao Yue Palace, the item Fang Xiuha kept mentioning, truly unaware of the token’s whereabouts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was on Bai Jingmang’s body, and after being killed by He Jiujie, it became He Jiujie’s trophy, stored away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, this token of Yao Yue Palace shouldn’t be enough to cause Jiuli Divine Sect to kill repeatedly; he suspected that He Jiujie’s death wasn’t to silence him but because he obtained something he shouldn’t have.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That something was likely the ink bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just the size of a pinky nail, pitch black as if dyed with ink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The body of the bead was round and flawless, upon close inspection, it seemed as if ink was flowing inside, with an indescribable sense of profundity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Super Sense observing, a sense of calm immediately emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heart suddenly calmed down, akin to the calming effect of the Qingying Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan reached out and picked up the ink bead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ink bead emitted a faint chilly sensation, invigorating his spirit as if clearing a layer of fog from his mind, instantly making everything much clearer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even his vision became brighter by three degrees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Flexible, agile, lively, quick-moving, rapidly advancing, and quickly retreating, suddenly in front, then behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His thoughts were like transforming from a horse into a school of small fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small fish swam freely in the clear pool water, leisurely and composed, serene yet agile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His entire being became much lighter, more flexible, his thoughts fast, nimble, and clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he suddenly felt that his former self was so clumsy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He curiously examined the ink bead, Super Sense also in Insight, yet blocked out by an invisible force, unable to discern what it was made of or where it came from.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He carefully placed it back into the box.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately feeling a sense of loss, accompanied by heaviness and sluggishness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a vibrant body to a slow and cumbersome one, from a healthy youth to a severely ill old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t help but exclaim, “Impressive!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a miraculous item, it was the first time he saw it and the first time he experienced it, extraordinarily shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it didn’t break his divine-like calmness; he still forcefully withheld reluctance and melancholy, slowly putting it back, freeing himself from its influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how magical the treasure, oneself is still the most important; if this item could make one lost, then it should be treated with utmost caution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He took a deep breath, firmly directing his gaze away, landing on the Mutton Fat Jade Pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He slowly reached out and picked it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp touch, neither Mutton Fat Jade nor Cold Jade, a more unusual material, hard yet resilient, filled with a kind of strange aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan furrowed his sword-like brows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Super Sense was particularly sensitive to aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps others couldn’t sense it, but it wasn’t that they absolutely couldn’t; once sensed, this pendant would be like a torch in the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the thought arose, he suddenly discovered a surge of cold from within the Dantian, surprisingly the True Qi of the Qionghua Nine Chapters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flying knife appeared in his left hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swoosh!” A beam of white light shot out of the window.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The window exploded directly, and the wind and snow poured in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white light continued to shoot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Big snowflakes like goose feathers blasted apart in the air, forming a white passage spanned in the air, connecting from the window to the rock garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom” a loud blast, a deep pit appeared on the rock garden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan let out a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A single Day Blade used up all the Misty Purple Energy within the Dantian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gurgling cold quickly left the Dantian, following the momentum and arrived inside the jade pendant, in a trance, he spontaneously felt a strange sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seemingly, someone was waiting for him in the dark.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And there were three of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One to the east, one to the west, one to the south.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan glanced in the three directions, a sense of certainty arose, with this feeling, he could find them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He dispersed the cold and pondered thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This jade pendant could indeed locate companions, produce a sense of perception, perceive the location of companions, and find them along the feeling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just unknown how vast the radiation range is.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at the strange jade pendant with emotion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Truly worthy as the token of Yao Yue Palace, undoubtedly extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this, he could find any sect members of Yao Yue Palace no matter where they were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought for a moment and asked Zou Fang to fetch two small Cold Jade Boxes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still the Cold Jade Boxes given by the Emperor along with treasures, best at sealing Qi and preventing any leak of aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he placed the two items into separate small Cold Jade Boxes, combined them, and exhaled: “Zou Fang, burn that box.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Zou Fang carried the Purple Sandalwood Box to the kitchen and lit it up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He personally stood guard as it burned, then personally scattered the ashes into the lake water behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon returning, Chu Zhiyuan was holding his chin, examining the two small Cold Jade Boxes on the desk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zou Fang, we got ourselves an incredible treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Princely Heir, what treasure?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If I’m not mistaken, it should be the Miao Ling Pearl, the legendary treasure.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Miao Ling Pearl…” Zou Fang was bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was completely ignorant about the Miao Ling Pearl, never even heard of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“An item from ancient times.” Chu Zhiyuan said: “A legendary item, said to be from beyond the heavens, its origins unknown, its destination unknown, surprisingly appearing here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He sighed: “No wonder Jiuli Divine Sect kept sending assassins.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Fang said, “Princely Heir, will Jiuli Divine Sect come to snatch it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s hard to say.” Chu Zhiyuan pondered, then smiled: “If it’s the Four Great Sects, they wouldn’t dare, but it’s hard to say for Jiuli Divine Sect.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then we must guard against their snatching.” Zou Fang said, “Should we increase the guards?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Guo Chi and the others, with the Four Spirit Array, should be enough,” Chu Zhiyuan considered, “But adding two more wouldn’t hurt, …\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>yet it’s difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His reputation was rising, but at Prince Qing Mansion there hadn’t been much change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of the Emperor’s indifferent attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emperor’s attitude determined the attitude of the elites, retired experts from the military, and experts from various government offices and the Military Suppression Department were the same; none dared to be too close to Prince Qing Mansion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gao Jiong and his company, after all, were bestowed by the Emperor, a lucky fortuitous opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recruiting other Grandmasters was extremely difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zou Fang pondered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan said, “Maybe, it will be necessary to use the token of Yao Yue Palace.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this token, requesting Yao Yue Palace to send two Grandmasters to protect him shouldn’t be too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disciples of Yao Yue Palace were restricted by their vow not to enter Yujing, but Yao Yue Palace could invite experts from other sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like Zhen Yi Sect, along with other sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Four Great Demon Sects were all massive entities with many affiliated sects, even first-class sects.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yes.” Zou Fang gently nodded, finding this the most sensible option, then added, “But doing this might attract the Emperor’s attention.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The relationships between the Four Great Demon Sects and the Emperor were inscrutable, not something outsiders could speculate on; merely mentioning it carried risks, uncertain of fortune or disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, various departments and bureaus in the court, even the Inspection Department and the Military Suppression Department, avoided mentioning the Four Great Demon Sects as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Requesting help from Yao Yue Palace at this time to get two Grandmasters might inevitably draw attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then let’s wait and see.” Chu Zhiyuan said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even as wild as Jiuli Divine Sect may be, they would only snatch the Miao Ling Pearl, not to the extent of killing him; the Demon Sect was not an Evil Sect, they wouldn’t dare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.” Zou Fang nodded quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1531,"2026-06-03T09:57:58.104Z","2026-06-03T09:58:02.813Z",1,"novelbin.me","5648fdb389c61fcf32948dd78be86c7a8e49bbbfd2ffd082c5e78fd65c8cd960","imperial-cultivation-chapter-110","imperial-cultivation-chapter-108",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg"]
