Give me Zhou Qingmei’s image and aura—I can begin the ritual.

He did not reach for the pearl, but stared at Mingyue. “How do you know so much?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amitabha,” Mingyue said. “It doesn’t matter.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You only need to know this item is useful to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alas… in my youth, my Buddhist teachings were shallow, and I failed to grasp the true meaning of saving all beings. I nearly severed Zhou Qingmei’s opportunity. Today, I give you this pearl—as my small compensation and sincere intent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Amitabha!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“After using this pearl, leave it here in the abyss—it will stabilize the Gang  winds forever.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“He Daoist, may we meet again in the Immortal Realm!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, Mingyue stepped forward and vanished into the heavens; his aura erupted like invisible lotus petals falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, his Mahayana Emperor Realm Level Eleven bottleneck shattered.\u003C\u002Fp>",1118,"2026-06-21T04:09:01.327Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","bcfeac59ebf329eb5457c51ca4a123fcbf67c01ddd4a418f3807339af408c8f6","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-957","the-treasure-immortal-basin-chapter-955",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-treasure-immortal-basin-cover.jpg"]
