At the age of one hundred, I inquired about the Dao, awakening the supreme spiritual root that shatt

The Qiankun Xuanhu is indeed miraculous; any spiritual treasure that enters it can be upgraded in rank, and even such a precious spiritual stone is no exception.

Spirit stones are the universal hard currency in the cultivation world, and mid-grade spirit stones are even rarer.

It can be refined to absorb spiritual energy, and can also be traded directly in various markets. One mid-grade spirit stone is worth a hundred low-grade ones. After being purified by the Xuan Gourd, the value is vastly different.

Ling Xiu currently has no shortage of cultivation resources, but the silver bracelet is giving him quite a headache.

During this time, he tidied up the clutter and cleaned the abandoned treasure pavilion, but he never saw a trace of the silver bracelet.

Logically speaking, this item should not have been left here carelessly.

Ling Xiu shook his head slightly, his heart filled with doubt.

"Could it be that I overlooked something during the search? Bai Luoqing said that this bracelet is a top-tier treasure, and it might contain a special restriction that is impossible to discern with the naked eye."

Two days was far from enough, so we held onto a sliver of hope.

Ling Xiu no longer hesitated and immediately focused his mind and activated all his divine sense!

Driven by spiritual power, his divine sense spread rapidly outwards from Ling Xiu, like a transparent halo.

Cracks in beams and pillars, dust in corners, piles of discarded magical artifacts, broken medicine furnaces, and dregs of expired pills...

Every corner of the abandoned treasure pavilion was thoroughly explored by divine sense.

Yesterday, the sect sent two large truckloads of discarded magical artifacts and scrapped spiritual materials, which were piled up into two small mountains and had not yet been sorted and cleaned up.

If the bracelet is indeed hidden here, then these two piles of scrap are the most likely places to find it!

Ling Xiu focused his mind and held his breath, manipulating his divine sense to probe deep into the two large piles of broken waste!

With only the fourth level of Qi Refining cultivation, releasing his divine sense over a large area consumed a great deal of his soul, and in a short while, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Just then!

A faint silver light flashed from the depths of the artifact's remains, clearly entering his divine sense.

Overjoyed, Ling Xiu disregarded his exhaustion and strode forward, his withered hands quickly prying open layers of ruins until he touched a cold object.

A silver bracelet covered in mud lay quietly deep in the waste, its surface shrouded in a faint, strange spiritual energy.

He washed the mud off with clean water, and the bracelet was revealed in its entirety.

This chain is by no means made of ordinary iron. It has a clear and bright luster throughout, and the chain is engraved with intricate star patterns, which resemble flowing clouds and entwined stars.

Each silver ring is surrounded by a faint spiritual aura; when gently swayed, it ripples out in layers of fine spiritual energy.

Ling Xiu immediately channeled his spiritual power into the bracelet, and the silver bracelet suddenly released a strange and powerful pressure.

But in just a moment, that oppressive aura dissipated completely.

That strange power far surpassed that of ordinary magical artifacts; the oppressive feeling it exerted just now almost damaged his soul.

Upon closer inspection, the star patterns on the silver bracelet are intricate, profound, and indescribably wondrous.

The patterns seem to connect with the billions of stars in the sky.

Those star patterns intertwined and converged, transforming into various strange phenomena.

A ferocious beast with bared fangs, seemingly about to devour the entire sky; a boundless net of heaven and earth, encompassing all things in the world.

The bizarre scene left Ling Xiu speechless.

Soon, Ling Xiu's gaze fell on the center of the silver bracelet, where a bead with a faint blue light was inlaid.

"That's... the Starry Sky Mystic Soul Pearl!"

Ling Xiu's pupils suddenly contracted, and his heart was filled with shock.

He had previously read about the Mysterious Soul Pearl in the "Ruins of the Primordial Chaos".

This item is a magical artifact that only cultivators at the Profound Realm can refine, containing a wisp of their own original divine soul to preserve their life-saving power.

With a single thought, one can unleash power, repel powerful enemies, and even kill a cultivator at the Great Perfection of the Condensation Realm.

Ordinary Xuanpo Pearls are already treasures, but this Star Xuanpo Pearl is even more precious.

It requires cultivators to collect the starlight of the Nine Heavens and fuse it with their original divine soul to refine it.

Not only can it intimidate enemies, but when fully activated, it can also draw upon the power of countless stars to protect the body. It is a gift from elders to younger generations for self-defense and protection.

Ye Chunqiu, a cultivator at the Tongxuan Realm and an elder of his sect, gave this item to his granddaughter Ye Jingyun as a birthday gift.

No wonder the girl was so anxious and acted so rudely towards him earlier.

Ling Xiu held the silver bracelet in his hand; beneath its heavy touch lay a powerful force capable of shaking one's very soul.

This treasure can not only protect one's life and body, but also summon the power of countless stars to protect the body.

For Ling Xiu, whose cultivation level was low, its value was immeasurable.

Recalling Ye Jingyun's domineering demeanor just now, and then recalling Bai Luoqing's cold and calculating face.

A bold idea suddenly arose in my mind.

"This treasure is destined for me; to hand it over now would be a terrible waste."

Ling Xiu, with his calm and composed nature, pondered quietly for a moment.

Two days later, Ye Jingyun will definitely come to demand the bracelet back. Even if I obediently hand it over, given Ye Jingyun's arrogant and mean nature, she may not let me off the hook because of my lowly status.

He was merely a nominal outer disciple of the Waste Treasure Pavilion, no different from a menial servant, and no one in the sect cared about his life or death.

Bai Luoqing's current gift of spirit stones and herbs is merely a way to use me. Once I obtain the bracelet and attach myself to Ye Jingyun, how could she possibly treat me well in the future?

"Neither of them should give this Starry Soul Pearl to each other. It would be a small matter if they were to incur resentment, but if they were not careful, it could even lead to their death."

"But where should I hide this treasure?"

Ling Xiu knew that with his current meager cultivation level, it would be extremely risky for others to detect the spiritual light of the treasure by simply hiding it.

"Perhaps I can find a powerful patron, so that my life can be better protected!"

Yun Ziling's image immediately appeared in his mind.

She was a cool and aloof person with a kind heart. She was the one who introduced him to the Qingyun Sect and gave him spiritual medicine and cultivation techniques. She also often took care of him.

Ling Xiu had seen the outer sect elder Mu Jue take the initiative to greet her, and even the proud Bai Luoqing had to give her some respect. He figured she must have considerable power behind her, and her background might not be inferior to Ye Jingyun from Elder Ye Chunqiu's lineage.

However, the exact facts still need to be ascertained, which is the only reliable method Ling Xiu can think of at the moment.

Having made up his mind, Ling Xiu looked down at the silver bracelet in his hand.

He subconsciously wanted to throw it into the Qiankun Xuan Gourd for tempering, but sensed that the treasure was of too high a grade. Whether the Xuan Gourd could refine it was still unknown, so he gave up for the time being.

He took out a cloth bag from his bosom, activated the "Concealing Breath" technique, and injected a wisp of concealed aura into the bag before carefully storing the bracelet inside.

Hidden close to the body in a secret place between the legs, the bag's ability to conceal its aura can temporarily obscure the treasure's spiritual light, preventing it from revealing any trace of its presence.

This way of storing it made him feel a little more at ease.

Immediately afterwards, he activated the Concealing Breath Technique again, forcibly suppressing his own magical power to the peak of the first level of Qi Refining.

In the eyes of outsiders, he was still just a harmless old man from the bottom of society.

"Let's go down the mountain first, then go find Yun Ziling."

Ling Xiu made up his mind, quickly tidied his clothes, and then left the Abandoned Treasure Pavilion.

We walked down the mountain path behind the sect.

Having been in the Qingyun Sect for so long, this was the first time he had stepped out of the area of ​​the Waste Treasure Pavilion.

The mountain roads were rugged and uneven, and the closer one got to the foot of the mountain, the denser the originally thin spiritual energy became.

He frequently encountered disciples from various sects along the way, but most of them only cast a disdainful glance at him before quickly passing by.

Swish!Swish!

Several whooshing sounds rang out as a group of disciples flew across the sky on their flying swords.

Ling Xiu looked up, his eyes filled with intense envy.

"When will I be able to fly on a sword?"

His anticipation grew stronger, and he gripped the hem of his robe where the star bracelet was hidden, certain that day was not too far away!
