There's Something Wrong With This Account

Chapter 494: 494, [Mystery of the Green Pearl]
 

While panting, Lu Xun looked at the Pearl of Heavenly Dao placed next to him and lowered his head to speak to the Sword Sheath:

“Did it come out on its own?”

Lu Xun found this somewhat hard to believe, because the master had said that he had placed a seal on the Pearl of Heavenly Dao, so there should not be any problems.

Lu Xun didn’t think there could be any oversights in the master’s methods.

As the Sword Sheath listened to Lu Xun’s words, the black rope no longer wound around Lu Xun’s wrist but floated up, first pointed at the pearl, then pointed at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun looked at its movements, somewhat puzzled, and said, “What do you mean? Are you saying… I was the one who took out the pearl?”

To his surprise, the black rope on the Sword Sheath bent downwards, it was nodding!

Lu Xun’s brow furrowed slightly, immediately sensing that something was off.

He picked up the Pearl of Heavenly Dao and held it up for a close examination, not finding anything wrong.

After thinking about it, he shoved the Pearl of Heavenly Dao back into the Sword Sheath, then rubbed his temples, unable to remember taking out the Pearl of Heavenly Dao before he fell into a deep sleep.

“Also, this dream… it seemed a bit too real.” Lu Xun murmured to himself.

Determining whether or not this was indeed a dream should be simple.

Such as asking Ji Li.

In his dream, he and Ji Li were Dao companions, having shared a moment of passion.

According to the details in the dream, there was a small mole on Ji Li’s raised buttocks.

This was something Lu Xun had never seen before.

If there really was a mole, things would become quite intriguing.

“However, it’s a bit awkward to suddenly ask Ji Li if she has a mole there, it just feels so strange,” Lu Xun laughed to himself.

He went over other details from the dream and suddenly remembered another one!

“In the dream, Elder Brother had a scar on the palm of his left hand!” Lu Xun abruptly sat up on his bed.

This was also something he didn’t know about.

Lu Xun immediately got up and left the Small Study, flying up into the sky.

Above the Demon Sect’s headquarters, Yan Li, Mao Nanbei, and Shen Yan were keeping vigil besides Elder Gui.

“Elder Brother, Fourth Sister,” Lu Xun greeted them.

Yan Li nodded genially at Lu Xun, his attitude towards his Little Junior Brother was always affable.

After all, as a Sword Cultivator, how could he not have a good attitude towards a human-shaped Immortal Sword?

“Little Junior Brother, you’re really a sleepyhead, you slept for a whole day and night,” Mao Nanbei said.

“That long?” Lu Xun was unaware of this, muttering under his breath.

At the same time, he glanced at the palm of Yan Li’s left hand.

“There’s indeed a scar!” Lu Xun’s mind was thrown into a whirl.

So, what he saw and heard just now… what was it really?

…

…

“Little Brother, why is your face so strange?” Mao Nanbei jumped onto Lu Xun’s shoulder and asked with concern.

“I’m fine, Fourth Sister,” Lu Xun waved his hand, took a deep breath, and signaled he was okay.

His just now expressions were due to the fear of the unknown.

He doesn’t know what he went through in his dream and still can’t figure out the real reason for now.

Lu Xun shook his head to regain some semblance of calmness. Raising his head to see Elder Gui’s condition under the sky was not very good, he asked:

“Elder Brother, is Elder Gui… doing okay?”

In his dream, after Elder Gui patched up the sky, his life force was exhausted, leaving him with only three days to live.

The old mute man stood on a hill with a staff, waiting for the master’s return.

Alas, this old servant never got to see his master come back home.

Yan Li listened to Lu Xun’s words and shook his head slightly, saying, “His state is not very good.”

The most crucial thing is that everyone couldn’t help Elder Gui with what he was doing.

Lu Xun cast a [Detection] on Elder Gui, only to see that more than half of his health bar was semi-transparent.

This was a very bad sign.

It was clear that Elder Gui was paying the same price as in the dreams when mending the sky.

“Wait a minute! I have a green pearl!” Lu Xun thought of the green pearl in his sword sheath.

He took out the green pearl from the sword sheath. Yan Li looked at the pearl and exclaimed, “What a tremendous life force.”

“Little Junior Brother, where did you get this pearl?” Yan Li asked.

Lu Xun honestly replied, “I got it from a small temple during my travels with Fourth Senior Sister. It was a gift from the temple master.”

“Such a precious item, and the temple master just gave it to you?” Yan Li was a little confused.

Lu Xun explained and informed Yan Li that the temple owner was a turtle spirit, and his sword sheath was made from the shell of a mysterious turtle, which he held as if it were a sacred object.

This pearl had collected dust in the temple. Because of his appearance, it had been restored to its original state, showing miraculous effects, and it had extended the life of the nearly deceased temple master.

Hearing this, Yan Li nodded slightly and said, “It can be considered a great opportunity for you.”

“Eldest Senior Brother, do you know what this is?” Lu Xun asked.

Yan Li carefully observed it a few times, shook his head and said, “I can’t recognize it, have you asked the teacher about it?”

“I asked the teacher, and he guessed it might be a relic from a great saint of the turtle species. But he felt something was amiss,” Lu Xun replied.

“Even the teacher doesn’t know?” Yan Li was a bit puzzled.

Lu Xun was also puzzled at the moment.

At that time, he had no idea that his teacher had even devoured part of the Heavenly Dao. Was there anything in the world that could escape the detection of Heavenly Dao?

It was indeed strange!

“Little Junior Brother, your object might be able to help Elder Gui!” Yan Li’s face showed a smile as if he had been relieved of a heavy burden.

At this moment, the crack in the sky had been completely closed.

The mute old man’s face gradually showed a relieved smile, followed by his closing his eyes and falling from the sky.

Yan Li immediately disappeared and reappeared directly under Elder Gui, catching him.

Lu Xun used [Detection] to observe Elder Gui’s situation again and found that almost all of his health bars had turned transparent!

“Little Junior Brother, give me the pearl,” Yan Li immediately said.

Lu Xun did not hesitate and handed the pearl over.

A green airflow began to generate from inside the pearl, and it was instantly poured into Elder Gui’s body.

But the deficit in Elder Gui’s body was too big, a small trace of green energy couldn’t make any difference at all!

Yan Li looked at Lu Xun, and Lu Xun nodded at him. Yan Li then put a large amount of his spiritual power into the green pearl, drawing out the green energy inside crazily.

A huge amount of energy gushed out, Elder Gui’s complexion began to improve, and the semi-transparent health bar also recovered a little.

Yan Li said to Lu Xun, “Little Junior Brother, Elder Gui’s situation is special, if we continue to infuse him like this, your pearl will be completely depleted, are you willing?”

Lu Xun nodded without even thinking about it.

“Alright then.” Yan Li drained all of the energy from the pearl, pouring it all into the mute old man’s body.

Through [Detection], Lu Xun could clearly see that the semi-transparent health bar was slowly increasing.

Clearly, Elder Gui needed time to digest this energy.

After doing all this, Yan Li returned the pearl, now devoid of all energy, to Lu Xun.

When Lu Xun accepted the pearl, he found that it was no longer green.

The interior of the pearl was like a mirror.

Lu Xun looked down at the pearl, and the pearl reflected Lu Xun’s image back.
