Chapter 889 - 885: Purple Soul Pearl

Xiao Tian’s steps halted for a moment, but he heard the old woman angrily say again, "You Huaxia people have a saying you should have heard: don’t listen to elders’ words, suffering is imminent."Without turning around to look, just by the tone, Xiao Tian knew what expression the old woman had at that moment, so he chuckled softly and replied, "Huaxia also has a saying, just not sure if you’ve heard it: if you’ve done nothing to be ashamed of in your life, do not fear ghosts knocking at the door in the middle of the night."

After speaking, he no longer paid attention to the old woman and directly stepped into the room, closing the door behind him.

Back indoors, it was already around three o’clock. Xiao Tian suddenly shrugged with a mixed expression of amusement and helplessness, then shook his head with a smile. It seems that he was still too idle.

However, at this moment, Xiao Tian was entirely without sleepiness; the energy obtained during the day from the bottom of Confucian Spring and the seven unusual pearls had yet to be closely examined, so now was the perfect time to take them out for study.

After inspecting every corner of the room to ensure there weren’t any surveillance devices, Xiao Tian retrieved the Shaking Light Disc and the seven pearls from his bag and began examining them under the bedside lamp.

The first was the seven pearls. From the outside, they remained incredibly smooth, yet, unlike the typical pearls, these seven appeared much smoother, with a faint halo covering the surface, resembling Luminous Pearls that had been shrunk dozens of times.

However, when Xiao Tian attempted to infuse True Qi and carefully perceive the energy contained within, his brow furrowed involuntarily.

Because in the attempt to establish a connection with the pearls, intending to understand what effects the treasure in hand had, he suddenly experienced a refreshing sensation in the Divine Sense, as if he had just used three to four tenths.

Not only that but even Spiritual Power didn’t suffer much depletion; instead, the pearls themselves autonomously filled with energy, without any other form of loss.

Realizing this point, Xiao Tian was taken aback...

Of course, it wasn’t that Xiao Tian was thinking of summoning a dragon with the Seven Dragon Balls or any unrealistic things; rather, he felt the pearls before him seemed to match something from the ancient texts Sun Bo had given him.

After pondering for a long time, Xiao Tian finally recalled their name—Purple Soul Pearl.

Nonetheless, in Xiao Tian’s opinion, calling them Nourishing Soul Pearl seemed more straightforward and fitting.

According to the texts, Purple Soul Pearls are rarely used in medicine, but for some particular patients, they have unexpectedly miraculous, irreplaceable effects!

Such as congenital developmental defects—here, the defects mentioned are not referring to physical ones but rather akin to innate intelligence defects.

This situation, in the eyes of the ancients, was termed intelligence deficiency, generally due to the fetus experiencing significant mental or physical trauma while in the womb, or neglecting certain details.

Unlike the insanity resulting from postnatal shocks, this congenital condition was not seen as an untreatable trauma by predecessors; with the right remedies, it could be rectified and was not considered an incurable problem.

However, this congenital lack of intelligence, or rather incomplete intelligence, requires remedies that are not common; today, many such remedies have long vanished, and few even know the names of these medicinal ingredients.

Yet, among those, the Purple Soul Pearl is notably effective for innate incomplete intelligence.

Additionally, the effects of Purple Soul Pearls extend beyond that; if worn by someone with an innately weak constitution, they can produce noticeable results and thus are also known as the nemesis of congenital ailments!

Currently, Xiao Tian can confirm only that Purple Soul Pearls can enhance Divine Sense; whether they are as miraculous as described in texts, is yet to be seen.

But it’s certain that Purple Soul Pearls are indeed incredibly rare; without Sun Bo’s ancient texts as reference, Xiao Tian wouldn’t have known what these treasures resembling pearls are named.

As for their use in combat, Xiao Tian currently believes they are viable, although not particularly useful in daily battles. However, in some special circumstances, such as entering Tao Zhenghao’s Divine Sense Realm, they may yield miraculous results!

Such circumstances are indeed rare, unable to be calculated by conventional means, yet carrying them to assure the clarity of Divine Sense is beneficial.

After carefully storing the seven Purple Soul Pearls, Xiao Tian shifted his focus to the Shaking Light Disc, a treasure theoretically capable of housing anything, which had achieved great success in this operation.

Following Xiao Tian’s earlier incorporation of Confucian Spring’s accumulated energy, he reached another conclusion.

That is, the energy or consciousness guided therein must be calculated based on the user’s tolerance for consumption, a direct manifestation of that consumption is in True Qi.

Back then, as Xiao Tian guided Confucian Spring’s energy into the interior space of the Shaking Light Disc, his True Qi visibly depleted rapidly.

Yet, it’s unknown how much consumption would be required to bring dozens of experts’ consciousness into the Shaking Light Disc, as Lu Yangrong did.

These matters can be set aside for later verification and judgment.

The urgent task at hand remains to clarify the essence of that energy.

Reaching out to touch the still icy-cold Shaking Light Disc, Xiao Tian established a connection, entering its internal space mentally.

However, what he saw next left him startled...

The internal space of the Shaking Light Disc once again turned into complete darkness. Though invisible, Xiao Tian could sense everything within the darkness, more vividly than seeing with his eyes.

Meanwhile, the energy manifested as an invisible cloud, continuously showering mist. As the mist dispersed, the darkness was dispelled, only to be swiftly assimilated by the surrounding darkness.

This scene made Xiao Tian feel as if the energy was like a savior, using its seemingly meager power to progressively rescue this pitch-black, sunless space—perhaps rescuing Thunder King Salon.

Indeed, as Xiao Tian’s gaze followed the energy’s transformation, a figure suddenly appeared—it was Thunder King Salon chasing the mist.

Xiao Tian sighed, for the current Thunder King Salon made him unsure of what to think.

Clearly, he created the darkness himself, yet strives to pursue the light, forcing one to utter: pathetic and lamentable.

The next moment, Xiao Tian waved his right hand, driving away all the darkness in the space, while Thunder King Salon was cast to an unseen corner, out of sight, out of mind.

Light returned to the space, and the energy obtained from Confucian Spring seemed to rejoice, flying directly toward Xiao Tian.

Still, to prevent any unforeseen situations, Xiao Tian kept part of his consciousness in the real world.
