Such a treasure really exists?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan boasted, “It took me a lot of effort to obtain this; it’s definitely rare in the world!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan asked, “Where exactly did this Treasure Bead come from, what kind of Demon Beast is it from?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not from a Demon Beast.” Chu Mingxuan said, “I heard it’s something from beyond the heavens.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “Eighteenth Uncle, stop keeping us in suspense, quickly take it out and let us see it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hold on a second.” Chu Mingxuan got up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Water-repelling Pearl… Fourth Brother, is the Water-repelling Pearl useful to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s enormously useful.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “First, you need to find out exactly what it’s about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, find out how large the Water-repelling range of the pearl is, and how many people it can cover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, the Water-repelling Pearl is extremely useful, especially for people living along the coast; it’s extraordinarily precious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you have a Water-repelling Pearl, you can walk freely in the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s a lot in the sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the Water-repelling Pearl, you can dig up more treasures, and even lay ambushes underwater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s similar to submarines in a previous life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wonderful uses of submarines in the past life can be borrowed here to exert great power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ships of this world are different from those of the past life; they’re not iron ships but wooden ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If equipped with a Divine Weapon, one could easily damage the structure of a wooden ship, causing it to leak or even sink.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With such treasures, there’s no need to deploy the Phoenix Camp; one person can stop the armies of Da Lie or Da Guang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how many ships Da Lie or Da Guang have, they are limited. One ship can hold several hundred to a thousand people, ten ships make ten thousand, and a hundred ships make a hundred thousand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He estimated that even if Da Lie and Da Guang Dynasty deploy large armies, they won’t exceed one hundred thousand troops.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Destroying a hundred ships isn’t that difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it’s not that easy to carry out; there must be a Great Grandmaster overseeing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But on this side, a Great Grandmaster can also be dispatched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about this, he looked excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is it really that important?” Chu Zhitian laughed, “Is the Water-repelling Pearl really that powerful?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“In the hands of Eighteenth Uncle, it’s just a toy, but in my hands, it’s different.” Chu Zhiyuan said, “But it’s too early to talk about this now, we must first see what the Water-repelling Pearl looks like.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here—it—comes—!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan came in cheerfully, holding a small black iron box, and placed it on the table in front of Chu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan impatiently opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside was a green pearl, the size of a Dragon Eye, emitting a gentle light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a jade pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The innermost layer of the soft light was the deepest color, and the further out, the greener it got, eventually turning into white light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “Eighteenth Uncle, may I have a look?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s yours.” Chu Mingxuan waved his hand nonchalantly, “I brought it with no use, just to play with it; if you like it, it’s yours.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan laughed heartily, “Then I won’t hold back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reached out and gently picked up the greenish pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It felt cool as water in his hand, like a scoop of clear spring in his palm, refreshing him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a full-body comfort, the coolness swiftly spreading throughout his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded in satisfaction, “Quite interesting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is indeed a treasure, it truly can repel water.” Chu Mingxuan said, “I’ve tried it; water won’t come within a yard.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A yard…” Chu Zhichuan pointed at Chu Zhiyuan’s wine bowl and laughed, “What if you pour a bowl of wine?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t waste the wine, you can try with water.” Chu Mingxuan chuckled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhichuan also enjoyed the excitement, got up to fetch the teapot nearby, and came to Chu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opening the lid of the teapot, he peered inside and laughed, “No change at all.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Keep going.” Chu Mingxuan snorted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhichuan continued pouring the tea, filling a large bowl in front of Chu Zhiyuan, and looked at Chu Mingxuan, “There’s nothing to see.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tea rested steadily in the large bowl before Chu Zhiyuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stable, without any slight change, no repelling action visible, and no observable external force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhitian questioned, “Did you take the wrong bead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan glared at him with irritation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhitian chuckled, “Eighteenth Uncle, you have so many treasures; mixing them up is normal, maybe bring a few more beads to check.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You brat, not up to any good!” Chu Mingxuan pointed at him, “Are you trying to get some treasure too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhitian hastily waved his hand, “The Water-repelling Pearl is useless to us.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did Chu Mingxuan contentedly retract his finger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhitian smiled, “If there are other pearls, like Evil Exorcism Pearl or Detoxification Pearl, we would like those too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get out!” Chu Mingxuan snorted, “Watch!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up the large bowl from Chu Zhiyuan and splashed the tea towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan neither dodged nor avoided it, allowing the tea to pour towards him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the tea reached as close as a yard from Chu Zhiyuan, it was suddenly blocked by an invisible force, sliding down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the trajectory of the sliding tea, it could be vaguely seen that there was an invisible light shield covering the top of Chu Zhiyuan, isolating the tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh?” Everyone was amazed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan remained proudly smug, “Realize its power now?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhichuan examined the water stain a yard away from Chu Zhiyuan, “This is indeed impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan, however, saw it more clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the tea approached, the Water-repelling Pearl emitted an invisible force, spreading from the center of the pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If not for the tea, the pearl would not emit this power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the stimulus from the tea that caused it to spread.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Normally, it stays retracted within the Water-repelling Pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This force was extremely gentle, even when it touched the body, it wasn’t as strong as a gentle breeze’s strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet it could block the tea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan found it fascinating, what kind of force was this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mysteries of the world are truly endless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Eighteenth Uncle, I shall gratefully accept it.” Chu Zhiyuan returned it to the small black box and slipped it into his sleeve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As long as you like it.” Chu Mingxuan said, “You’ve established the Phoenix Camp, and I can’t help much; if this can help, that’s the best.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan smiled, “Who knows, it might provide substantial assistance. By the way, are there any more Water-repelling Pearls?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Mingxuan said, “I got this from Father, who said there weren’t any more, but who knows if he was just kidding.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan laughed, “That’s hard to say.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Water-repelling Pearl?” Chu Qingfeng frowned, “What do you need that for? Vain stuff.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are there any more from the Emperor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“None.” Chu Qingfeng shook his head, “That Water-repelling Pearl was discovered by my elder brother in a Grotto Heaven; it was obtained by accident and is useless. With Gang Qi, even in the rain, it doesn’t need to be used.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chu Zhiyuan showed a look of regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why do you need this item?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“To see if I can lurk underwater.” Chu Zhiyuan replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“As a Grandmaster, you should already be able to hold your breath underwater, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Breathing is still necessary.” Chu Zhiyuan shook his head, “This Water-repelling Pearl is different.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already tested it in the river.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even at the deepest part of the river, the Water-repelling Pearl could create a space with a one-yard radius.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Water-repelling Pearl wasn’t affected by water pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was extremely fascinating, giving him countless inspirations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If one could directly infiltrate Da Guang or Da Lie from the sea, a lot more could be done.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were more Water-repelling Pearls, more people could be deployed, and the effect would be greater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, there are no more Water-repelling Pearls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately thought of Xu Yingying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yingying was a kind of treasure trove, a treasury, it felt like she had all the treasures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, he never thought about treasures like the Water-repelling Pearl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needs to completely change his mindset.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This world is not like the past life but a world of high martial arts and treasures!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>",1428,"2026-06-03T09:57:58.104Z","2026-06-14T10:33:14.880Z",1,"novelbin.me","27d100c2960f9bf97a0bbce58fa995f283c2ce74fa2e229dab29bd0f5511f275","imperial-cultivation-chapter-323","imperial-cultivation-chapter-321",1378,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fimperial-cultivation-cover.jpg",{"terms":25},[]]
