Tumor Sword Immortal

Chapter 181 Good things, all good things

In the blink of an eye, the view before me changed back to the guest rooms of the inn.

The swirling clouds and ethereal mist vanished in an instant, truly giving one a dreamlike illusion.

Pei Xia looked at the two jade pendants lying quietly in her palm and let out a soft breath.

In any case, coming into contact with Qiongxiao Yuyu is not a bad thing. Even if she doesn't know all of the landlord's abilities, at least Pei Xia has another possibility besides Ru Tao.

The possibility of living as a normal person again.

The lights were already on in the guest room, and the sky outside the window was dim, suggesting that time passed in the celestial palace just like it did outside.

Pei Xia turned around and looked around, and saw that Li Zi was already asleep in bed wrapped in a quilt.

No... Your master suddenly passed away, how were you able to sleep?
Lu Li could sleep, of course.

What's the big deal? You've passed out, and there are only two possible outcomes: you either wake up or you don't.

If he can wake up, why should I worry?
If he can't wake up, then what am I worried about!
Pei Xia felt deeply regretful, wondering who Lu Li had learned her current behavior from.

Oh well, let her sleep. It's time for the little girl to grow.

Pei Xia looked down at the jade pendant in her hand, recalling the talk of storage that the person in the Jade Palace had mentioned.

He got up and went to his luggage, rummaged through it for a while, and pulled out the extremely precious demon marrow.

He first tried to use his spiritual power to activate Yuqiong, but it was ineffective.

Thinking that all the masters in the Jade Palace were Su Shi, he then used the method of condensing the calculation core to concentrate his calculation power on the Jade Palace.

Logically speaking, this should have no effect whatsoever.

Although computing power is also called "power", it is not the same as spiritual power. Simply put, it is not a kind of energy. Apart from normal human learning and thinking, it can only be used as a prerequisite for the construction of magic. It is a prerequisite, not even a foundation. The foundation of magic is still spiritual power.

It's one thing if the Jade Palace isn't in the real world, but attempting to condense the core in the real world of Kyushu is practically madness, and nothing should happen.

But these two scorching hot jade pieces flashed with light and, as he wished, absorbed the demonic marrow into them.

Pei Xia watched in amazement.

Afterwards, he put away the Changjing Sect token, five bottles of Glazed Immortal Elixir, and the Two Lives Plate magic artifact that Dugu Nong had given him.

However, a problem arose when they tried to collect the spider monster's carapace.

The jade shimmered, but it couldn't absorb the carapace into it no matter what it did.

It's probably because of limited capacity; it can't fit everything.

Pei Xia couldn't help but sigh. With so few jade cores, let alone the number of calculation cores he could accumulate, he couldn't even bring more rare and precious materials to exchange for other items.

He then tried the two swords he had obtained from Qiu Sheng, but they wouldn't fit either.

Well, these two items are too conspicuous to fit in, so it's better that Han is too naive to suspect anything.

Thinking of this, Pei Xia touched the hot jade pendant in her hand and suddenly realized something else.

Previously, Han Youzhi was able to foresee Qiu Sheng's approach by relying on Yu Qiong's senses. Now that Pei Xia has two of them, wouldn't Han Youzhi also discover them quickly?
Even though she was being direct and honest, Pei Xia wasn't afraid of her at all.

But after truly witnessing the depth and methods of Qiongxiao Yuyu, he knew that this jade was extremely precious, and it was best to hide it unless absolutely necessary.

Pei Xia pondered for a moment. Since this thing was highly related to computing power, what if he borrowed the Calamity Pig...

Pei Xia didn't dare to be presumptuous. He only drew a small amount of computing power from the Calamity Pig, roughly equivalent to the level he would draw when casting a spell. He then wrapped the two jade pendants in the same way, using the method of condensing the computing core.

However, just as when Pei Xia first tried to break free from Qiu Sheng's magic, the location of Qiongxiao Yuyu seemed to indeed possess some kind of resistance to the Calamity Pig.

Pei Xia's computational power, which originated from the Calamity Pig, could not penetrate into Yu Qiong.

Now I'm both crying and laughing.

Bad news: the cursed pig is useless; it seems I can't cure this Jade Qiong's perception.

Good news, the Calamity Pig was useless; Qiongxiao Yuyu did indeed have a way to counter Him. Just as Pei Xia was regretfully preparing to put away the Jade Qiong and go back to Han Youzhi to confess, the hazy computing power seemed to be unable to enter the Jade Qiong, and instead wrapped the two jade pieces in a unique way.

After being coated with what appeared to be a "film", the two jade pendants actually calmed down and stopped getting hot!

From this perspective, the power of Qiongxiao Yuyu is not truly superior to that of Huozhi. Look at this jade sensing; wasn't it severed by Huozhi?

Good thing, it's good either way.

Pei Xia tucked Yu Qiong back into her belt, stood up, and immediately felt a wave of dizziness, almost losing her balance.

Today, from confronting Qiu Sheng to isolating Yu Qiong, Pei Xia has repeatedly relied on the power of the Calamity Pig.

Although the influence of the calamity on him was slightly reduced as the amount of heart fire increased, performing the spell was still a considerable burden.

Fortunately, compared to when she was in the underground palace, Pei Xia had an extra spark of inner fire, so the intensity wasn't as intense as before. However, due to excessive energy consumption, she quickly began to feel tired.

Fortunately, he was in a county town with a lot of people. With the help of the heart fire, although he couldn't fall asleep directly, he could still recover some by closing his eyes and resting.

The night passed quietly like that.

The next morning, before Lu Li was even fully awake, Pei Xia had already opened her eyes and started packing.

Ye Lu's departure yesterday was a signal; Pei Xia didn't want to get too involved with the Northern Barbarian government, and he also needed to set off as soon as possible.

The noise wasn't loud, but it still woke up the pear.

When she saw Pei Xia packing her things, she didn't seem particularly surprised. Adhering to the simple belief that being alive meant being alive, she calmly got out of bed and muttered, "Shouldn't we at least have breakfast?"

Pei Xia didn't explain the current situation to her, but gave her a very pragmatic answer: "We have no money."

With her still-sleepy face, Pear sighed in an old-fashioned manner, "Life is tough. At my age, I can't even afford breakfast."

"Alright, go wake up Lao Han."

"Oh."

To Pei Xia's surprise, he hadn't slept last night, and Han Youzhi seemed to have slept too, her beautiful face showing utter exhaustion, as if she had something on her mind.

As she was about to go downstairs, Pei Xia asked her, "What's wrong?"

Han Youzhi pursed her lips and remained silent.

She thought that killing Qiu Sheng and taking Yu Qiong would put an end to the matter of Qiongxiao Yuyu.

But to her surprise, after returning to her room yesterday, the four jade pendants in her hand were still burning hot!

The temperature was exactly the same as when Qiu Sheng was there, which meant that there was another jade holder who was very close to her.

Learning from past mistakes, Han Youzhi really didn't want to involve Pei Xia again. The main reason was that if something similar happened again, Pei Xia would find it hard not to ask why, and Han Youzhi would probably have no choice but to reveal the secret of Qiongxiao Yuyu.

So yesterday, apart from entering the Jade Palace once to check on Yuqiong's condition after her new addition, she remained on high alert and on high alert the entire time.

But for some reason, around midnight, the jade suddenly stopped being hot.

This is strange. Logically speaking, even if the other person holding the jade left, the temperature should have gradually decreased. How could it suddenly stop being hot?
Not knowing why, she became even more nervous.

As a result, Han Youzhi was on high alert, wary of uninvited guests all night long.

Han Youzhi looked at Lu Li, who was perched on Pei Xia's head, and suddenly remembered something.

She reached into her bosom, pulled out something, and handed it to Pei Xia: "Oh right, this."

Pei Xia turned her head and was stunned.

In Han Youzhi's hand was a magic pen, with an iron handle, a silver sand core, and a silver-footed sable hair at the tip.

Old Han took a deep breath: "I won't fool you. I picked two jade pieces yesterday, which was a nice find. This... is just a small token of my appreciation."

Seeing Pei Xia's wide eyes, she thought he was surprised that she would give him something, so she quickly explained, "It's not for you, it's for Li Zi. She's at the sixth realm, so doesn't she need a decent array brush?"
