Chapter 1185: Chapter 652: Appearance-fixing Pearl_2 Chapter 1185: Chapter 652: Appearance-fixing Pearl_2 “Mom, if you’re doing that kind of thing for my sake, I think it’s unnecessary. I’m still in my juvenile phase; my appearance hasn’t fully developed, and it’s not yet ti for to need eternal youth.”
Pei Qingshuang felt that compared to herself, Peach Blossom Sage needed it more. She was already at the most mature age of full bloom, and using it to preserve her appearance would allow her to be forever beautiful and charming.
“The face-preserving ability of this bead is just the most basic effect; what’s more important is the rich Water Spirit Qi contained within. If you use this to communicate with the Qing Shuang Sword, you should be able to overco the final barrier and achieve unity with the sword heart of this Fourth Grade Superior Sword Artifact.”
Peach Blossom Sage, not above using her power to bully others, had bought this pearl not just for face-preserving, but mainly to help her daughter’s cultivation level rise another notch.
Pei Qingshuang had long acquired the Qing Shuang Sword, but over the years, she had never been able to fully commune with the spirit of this sword artifact, and this was the final barrier troubling her Core Formation.
As long as she could accomplish this step, she had confidence that she could take the Golden Liquid Jade Pill.
Peach Blossom Sage knew about this as well, so when she found out about this pearl, equivalent to a top-grade spirit stone in Water Spirit Qi, she felt obliged to edge out the younger generation for her daughter’s Core Formation.
However, in her heart, she also blad the person who auctioned the pearl for not displaying it for a longer ti. By the ti she found out about it, the auction had already ended.
“Mom, isn’t this too wasteful?”
Without realizing it, Pei Qingshuang had already taken the Face-preserving Water Spirit Pearl, and the thought of using sothing bought for over three hundred million Good Deed Points to nurture the Qing Shuang Sword made her feel a pang of distress.
“I’ve already modified it. When you have used half of the Water Spirit Qi in this pearl, bring it back and place it at the center of the Rank-5 Water Vein in Jumang Academy, and it can be recharged. Although each recharge will reduce the maximum charge by one percent, it should be no problem to use it until you reach Perfect Core Formation,” said Peach Blossom Sage, having spared no effort for her daughter.
But within the entire Immortal Gate, only she and Elder Yuanxu were capable of refining such a Face-preserving Water Spirit Pearl.
“Mom, you’ve worked hard.”
With a face full of gratitude, Pei Qingshuang spoke, and at the sa ti, a strong desire for Core Formation surged in her heart.
She hadn’t considered the possibility that the Qing Shuang Sword still would not commune with her.
Carefully hanging the Face-preserving Water Spirit Pearl around her snow-white, elegant neck, Pei Qingshuang prepared to enter the Rank-5 Cultivation Room that Peach Blossom Sage had arranged for her to go into seclusion.
However, before she secluded herself, she couldn’t help but visit a dear friend she hadn’t seen in a long ti.
“Cui, when did you co? Why didn’t you let know in advance?”
In the pavilion, Wen Ren Xuewei was surprised to see the spirited Pei Qingshuang and imdiately took out a new cup to rinse.
“My mother refined this Face-preserving Water Spirit Pearl to help commune with the Qing Shuang Sword…”
As Pei Qingshuang spoke, she couldn’t help but show off, pulling the red ribbon from around her neck, revealing the round and lustrous pearl with a faint blue gleam from within her towering neckline.
“The sage is so kind to you; she’s a good mother!”
Wen Ren Xuewei looked at the pearl that her friend was flaunting, and her mouth twitched slightly, but in the end, she could only echo the sentint.
Recently, Jumang Academy had been criticized by the public of the Immortal Gate for this matter, and she, the future head of the academy, was naturally aware of it.
Nevertheless, Peach Blossom Sage didn’t ntion buying the pearl to her; otherwise, Wen Ren Xuewei would have definitely given her the one she had.
With that thought, the image of a clear-boned and incredibly talented young man flashed in her mind.
That pearl must have been auctioned by him.
She had not expected it to be so precious.
Because Wen Ren Xuewei had completed her Lasting Spring Cultivation, not only was she eternally youthful, but her body was also locked in its peak state forever, so she had never bothered to learn about things like Appearance-fixing Pearls.
However, through this auction, she had co to understand the value of the pearl Chen Mobai had given her and felt that this friend wasn’t so bad, considering the Enlightennt Tea she had sent him, which was Third Rank.
With this thought, Wen Ren Xuewei watched Pei Qingshuang, who was still showing off her pearl, and casually, with the pretense of an unintentional gesture, she lifted the thin jade-green sleeve to reveal a similarly round and lustrous pearl on her snow-white wrist.
She had strung the pearl on a bracelet, giving it a distinct flair.
Pei Qingshuang, who had been observing Wen Ren Xuewei’s expression, imdiately noticed the pearl on her wrist and opened her eyes wide, incredulous.
“You have one too?”
“Last ti I gave Junior Brother Chen a jar of fine tea, and as a return gift, he gave this. I initially refused, but he insisted on giving it, and I couldn’t decline…”
Wen Ren Xuewei sighed, seemingly sowhat troubled as she spoke.
Pei Qingshuang fell silent imdiately.
After a long while, she said she was going to retreat and commune with the Qing Shuang Sword.
She didn’t even drink the tea she had poured, quickly disappearing into the pavilion.
This matter caused Pei Qingshuang, who had planned to start her retreat in a good mood, to feel a knot of frustration, but she quickly adjusted herself.
Thinking that she could take the Golden Liquid Jade Pill and enhance the stagnant Qingxiao Sword Canon once she communed with the Qing Shuang Sword, she was slightly invigorated!
Once she achieved Core Formation, she would be able to unleash the true power of the Qing Shuang Sword, absorb the Nine Heavens Pure Spirit Purple Brilliance Energy, and awaken her bloodline’s divine skills.
But what drove Pei Qingshuang to despair happened!
She provided the Water Spirit Qi from the pearls to the Qing Shuang Sword during her retreat, but still couldn’t access its most sealed core.
How exactly could she achieve a Clear Heart of Sword?
Looking at the plain and tranquil sword artifact in her hands, Pei Qingshuang thought of that extraordinarily brilliant and handso young man.
Unlike herself, he did not have a Nascent Soul mother, nor did he have spirit stones to nurture a sword artifact, yet he gained the favor of the Purple Electric Sword in the Foundation Building Realm, and after Core Formation, he displayed the ultimate state of Clear Heart of Sword in the battle where he defeated Master Huakai.
Was the gap between her and him truly so vast?
This was the first ti Pei Qingshuang felt an awe-stricken reverence for Chen Mobai’s talent, as if looking up at a high mountain.
…
Chen Mobai, who just finished practicing the Vermilion Phoenix Facing the Sun diagram on the peak of Danxia Mountain, suddenly felt an itch in his nose and nearly couldn’t resist sneezing.
He suppressed the urge and picked up his cellphone that was set aside.
He found several missed calls and ssages.
The majority of them were naturally from Qing Nu, ng Huang, and Yan Bingxuan.
When they couldn’t reach him by phone, they sent text ssages.
The content was roughly the sa.
[The pearls are actually so precious!]
Qing Nu and ng Huang had never encountered top-grade spirit stones, and only knew about the Water Spirit Qi equivalent to a top-grade spirit stone from what Chen Mobai had said.
But it’s one thing to hear about it from a man; when they truly understood the value of this object, which was far more precious than what the man had described, they couldn’t help but shudder all over.
Qing Nu regretted why she had used three beads to replenish Spiritual Energy during her attempt at Core Formation and wanted to return the remaining five to Chen Mobai.
But what Chen Mobai gifted, how could there be a reason to take it back?
First, he called Qing Nu and told her to use them at ease; as a cultivator who went through bitter cultivation, he didn’t care about such external possessions.
Qing Nu was, of course, very touched after hearing this.
She called from noon until evening, reluctantly hanging up the phone.
Chen Mobai then imdiately called ng Huang, who was much more casual, asking when he was free as she wanted to request a half-month leave to co over for a good rest and relaxation.
“I’m at a critical mont in my cultivation, preparing to gather energy and conserve strength, so I’m afraid I can’t entertain you…”
Upon hearing this, Chen Mobai imdiately stopped ng Huang’s idea of coming over. Disappointed, she stated before hanging up that he must notify her the mont he beca available.
After making two calls, Chen Mobai couldn’t help but take a deep breath, feeling that even cultivation wasn’t as tiring.
Eventually, he called Yan Bingxuan.
