208: Earth Element Treasure! Ruthless Destruction of Beauty!
“What is this?”
In the secret chamber, there weren’t many items, just a few wooden shelves.
On them were weapons, medicinal herbs, books, various bottles and jars, and other things.
However, none of these caught Lu Qing’s attention.
The first thing that attracted him was something in the center of the secret chamber.
It was an egg-sized, very round, bead with a misty yellow-brown surface.
It was also the only item not placed on a wooden shelf.
Instead, it was supported by a slightly concave black iron stand.
As soon as he entered, Lu Qing’s intuition told him that this item was extraordinary.
He immediately focused his gaze on the yellow-brown bead.
Then, after several moments, no information about the bead had appeared.
Lu Qing was even more thrilled.
Based on his previous experience, the longer it took for superpower to extract an item’s information, the more precious the item was likely to be.
He patiently waited, continuing to stare at the bead.
After several more moments, finally, a faint purple “Superpower Light” emerged from the surface of the bead.
“Purple Light Item!”
Lu Qing was taken aback and quickly looked at the information that appeared.
[Earth Spirit Pearl: A magical bead nurtured from the origin of the Earth Element, possessing many mysterious and strange functions.]
[It is rumored that only in the deepest parts of the earth, where the power of the Earth Element is strongest, might an Earth Spirit Pearl be nurtured.]
[It contains the power of the Earth Element Law, making it the best natural Spiritual Artifact treasure embryo.]
[Heavy as lead, though the bead is small, its weight is astonishing.]
…
“An Earth Spirit Pearl, it’s actually an Earth Spirit Pearl!”
When Lu Qing finished reading the information about the yellow-brown bead, his emotions could no longer be described simply as thrilled.
The Earth Spirit Pearl was also detailed in the records of the Li Huo Sect.
This was a peculiar bead nurtured from the origin of the Earth Element’s power, possessing various unique powers and extremely rare.
Even in the Cultivation Era, it was an invaluable treasure, certain to provoke competition among cultivators once it appeared.
Such an Earth Element Treasure, he hadn’t expected to find it stored in the Zheng Family’s secret vault.
“It seems that in these tens of thousands of years of Spiritual Energy depletion, countless Spiritual Objects have been covered in dust; if it were the Cultivation Era, how could the Zheng Family ever have the chance to store such a treasure like the Earth Spirit Pearl.”
Lu Qing looked at the Earth Spirit Pearl and sighed.
Now he knew why the Zheng Family had used an iron stand to support this bead alone.
The Earth Spirit Pearl, containing the Earth Element Law, was naturally very heavy; ordinary wooden shelves simply couldn’t support its weight.
He reached out, grabbed the Earth Spirit Pearl, and tried to pick it up but found that despite its small size, it was indeed very heavy.
Without bursting his Qi-Blood, with his cultivation, he temporarily struggled to lift it.
With a thought, the Qi-Blood Power inside his body suddenly burst forth, veins on his hand becoming visible; only then did Lu Qing manage to grasp the Earth Spirit Pearl from the iron stand.
“Goodness, this small bead weighs no less than a thousand pounds.”
Weighing the Earth Spirit Pearl in his hand a few times, Lu Qing was somewhat astonished.
It was only he, who possessed a physique several times stronger than an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster.
Otherwise, if it were some weaker martial artist, they wouldn’t even be able to pick it up.
After all, the bead was so small, it could only be lifted by the power of the fingertips, a feat beyond the capabilities of a general martial artist in the Internal Organ Realm.
No wonder the Zheng Family dared to place such a treasure in such a conspicuous position in the center of the secret chamber.
Perhaps they didn’t fully understand the true nature of the Earth Spirit Pearl.
But likewise, it might be because the item was so heavy that the difficulty of stealing it was incredibly high.
Even if someone could avoid the mansion guards, sneak into the secret chamber, and get their hands on the bead, getting it out successfully would be extremely difficult.
Sneaking into Zheng Mansion alone and escaping with an item weighing a thousand pounds were vastly different tasks.
Not to mention that with the weight of the Earth Spirit Pearl, ordinary cloth bags simply couldn’t hold up, and it could only be held by hand at most.
But if one were to hold a thousand-pound object in hand, even an Innate Realm expert might not be confident about sneaking out without alerting the guards.
“Fortunately, I have a Qiankun Qi Bag, otherwise, it would not be easy to take this thing back.”
Lu Qing thought to himself, and with a slight movement of his mind, he strenuously collected the Earth Spirit Pearl into the Qiankun Qi Bag.
