Chapter 265 Not Enough to Reach the Threshold of Jade Palace Tower

Ji Shaofu held the Ghostly Flower, pressing it to her heart from time to time, her expression so excited it looked like she was about to cry.

It took Ji Shaofu quite a while to regain her composure after being entangled with the Ghostly Flower.

She handed the cloth bag back to Pei Xia: "I'm still recovering from my injuries, so please keep the things with you. We need to get back to the sect as soon as possible and avoid any further complications."

The only thing returned was the Ghost Flower, but the finless porpoise jade pendant was no longer refused.

That's fine too. Pei Xia really hates those trashy games that I recommend to you.

But when he turned to stir the broth, he seemed to catch a glimpse of Ji Shaofu's slightly flushed cheeks, though he wondered if it was due to the firelight reflecting off them.

With hope in sight, Ji Shaofu's mood improved significantly. She drank four or five more bottles of meat soup, her mind filled with thoughts of recovering as quickly as possible.

Whether it was the meat broth or the miraculous pills, as evening approached, Ji Shaofu could clearly feel that her injuries were healing very well.

However, the external injuries still need time to heal, especially since he fought with that guy surnamed Lei before. He doesn't know if one of his legs is broken, and he still can't walk freely.

Fortunately, Pei Xia seemed to be alright.

Looking across the entire martial arts world, the Tongxuan Realm is already quite high. Normally, one can travel the world without causing trouble.

With him by her side, Ji Shaofu felt much more at ease.

After all, the two have now become sworn brothers.

As night fell, Pei Xia naturally didn't sleep. He kept the fire burning and turned to look at Ji Shaofu, who was curled up in the pile of grass and fast asleep.

Since she was injured, Pei Xia took off his clothes and draped them over her, leaving her only in a tight-fitting white undershirt, and sat back down by the fire.

Actually, when it comes to making soup, even though Pei Xia doesn't have a pot, it's not difficult for her to make one.

In the Jade Palace of Qiongxiao, there are people who specialize in this kind of small business, providing daily necessities for cultivators who camp in the wild. The prices are generally a hundred times more expensive than buying them in towns.

Back in the underground palace, Han Youzhi had bought salt and seasonings from unscrupulous merchants.

However, Pei Xia was unwilling to reveal any suspicious information to Ji Shaofu unless absolutely necessary.

However, at this moment, she was fast asleep due to her serious injuries, and there was no one around, making it a suitable time to enter the Jade Palace.

Since obtaining Duan Junhai's sixteen jade pendants, Pei Xia has not had a real time to examine them.

With a wave of her hand, several talismans flew up and landed around her as a warning. Pei Xia calmed her mind and slowly immersed herself in the Jade Palace.

When I opened my eyes again, the world above the clouds was still as peaceful as ever.

Thinking about the robbery she had just experienced, and then thinking about Duan Junhai, Pei Xia realized more and more clearly that these jade holders who walked around in the Jade Palace and looked harmless were probably all kinds of demons and monsters in reality.

Here, Pei Xia didn't have to worry about being targeted. She casually found a corner and began to take out several magical artifacts from Yu Qiong.

It contains a set of flying needles, a small fan, and a lamp stand.

Flying needles aren't exactly rare magical artifacts; they're simply imbued with spiritual power, allowing for remote control and the ability to injure people from a distance. Their advantage lies in their stealth. Their grade depends entirely on the material of the artifact itself, though they are probably the rarest of all.

But for Pei Xia, who can control the airborne energy, this thing is really useless. He might as well find a vengeful spirit to use it on.

This little fan is quite clever. By infusing it with a little spiritual power, it can generate a strong gust of wind. Although it is not powerful, it can still be used for support or as a defensive magic weapon to resist some attacks.

As for the final lampstand, it was only the size of a palm, quite exquisite. Pei Xia infused it with spiritual energy to test it, and found that apart from the soft light that wouldn't easily go out, it seemed to have no other use. Perhaps its ability wasn't in combat.

Alas, it's a bit of a pity. Perhaps because of those two Ghostly Flowers, Duan Junhai's personal stash doesn't have many good things left.

The alchemy furnace, cauldrons, and many other treasures belonged to the Su Bao Zhai Si Ku (a collection of treasures), including the jade bracelet he used to conceal his cultivation level, all of which were left on Zuo Shan as evidence of his crimes.

Duan Junhai also had a stack of talismans, most of which were the most basic fire-strike talismans. If one was familiar with fire magic, a sixth-level master could draw more than a dozen of these in a morning, which was practically like printing money.

There are also a few scattered fragments that are barrier talismans, which can be used to set up a simple isolation array, but they can only be used once. They are the kind of talismans that you feel will be useful even if you think they are useless, but you may never know when they will be usable.

As for the remaining pills, they varied in quality and were mostly of low grade, ranging from Body Tempering Pills to Qi Condensation Pills. The three Fangcun Pills were relatively valuable, and these were sure to sell.

What surprised Pei Xia the most was the various resources left behind by Duan Junhai.

The most premium item was a palm-sized piece of Blazing Sun Profound Gold. Other valuable materials used in weapon crafting included Radiant Moon Stone and Black Eye Jade. Even if Pei Xia didn't need these things himself, he could still sell them for a good price.

As for the deepest part of the Jade Jade, there is another dark purple Netherworld Flower.

Pei Xia was actually a little unsure about this thing.

Legend has it that the Netherworld Flower, a spiritual plant from the Nine Provinces, can resurrect the dead and restore flesh to bones.

That's somewhat of an exaggeration. If it could really achieve that, it wouldn't be called the Ghost Flower; it would be called the Resurrection Coin.

However, for cultivators, the most reliable cure for severe injuries that even top-grade pills cannot heal, such as the collapse of the spiritual palace or the collapse of the sea of ​​consciousness, is the Netherworld Flower.

In a critical moment, Pei Xia decided to keep the item that might save a life.

Of course, the largest number of these sixteen jade pendants belonged to Duan Junhai's savings of calculation cores, which amounted to nearly seventy calculation cores, a considerable sum.

With plenty of time to spare, Pei Xia pondered that perhaps she should take a stroll through the Cloud Market.

What he buys is secondary. Now that he has money, Pei Xia's horizons have broadened. If all eighteen jade coins are filled, that's 180 calculation cores. This wealth might allow him to enter the Jade Pavilion and broaden his horizons.
Just as I was pondering this, a somewhat hoarse, loud voice suddenly came from behind me: "Hey! Is that you, kid? You haven't changed a bit!"

When Pei Xia turned around, there was probably only one person in this magnificent palace who could look at his voluptuous figure and call him "boy".

A square face with a gaping, yellowed mouth in the middle, two eyes on the chin, two ears on the forehead, and nostrils on either side.

"The person in the mouth." Pei Xia still remembered his name.

The old man chuckled at him: "After all this time, you've made it big, haven't you? I saw you acting suspiciously earlier. Did you steal someone's jade pendant and peek at it here? Heh, did you kill a few?"

The old man was in the business of introducing people to the trade; it was a business with little to no capital and low profits.

Pei Xia had already given Yu Qiong, so it wasn't really a favor he owed him. Hearing him say that, Pei Xia simply replied, "I still have two pieces of Yu Qiong, just enough to get by. Anyway, I'm not aiming to enter Yu Yu Lou."

"Hmph, Jade Palace Tower."

The old man sneered at first, as if Pei Xia's mention of the place name was enough to elicit his disdain.

As luck would have it, Pei Xia simply asked, "Speaking of which, how many calculation cores would it take to actually go inside the Jade Palace Tower?"

The old man rolled his eyes as if recalling something: "With two hundred cores, we should be able to go through the motions."
