Moreover, this Earth Spirit Pearl was brought back by one of our Cold Water Palace’s predecessors during their practice outside, thousands of years ago.
It has always been placed in the Treasure Vault, with no one knowing its true origin.
If not for the guidance of the Revered One, we would not have known that it is actually the legendary Fire Spirit Pearl.
Otherwise, it would have been left to gather dust in the Treasure Vault, its treasure veiled in obscurity.
Thus, it being noticed by the Revered One is indeed its fate.
And if the Revered One sees any other treasures that are of interest, please feel free to take them.
Even if the Revered One wishes to take all the treasures in this vault, Ling Shuang will definitely keep her word.
Your immense kindness to our Cold Water Palace cannot be repaid by mere treasures."
Han Lingshuang’s tone was very sincere, without a trace of reluctance.
Lu Qing could not help but silently praise her.
No wonder she is a person capable of holding the reins over a secret land; such magnanimity is truly impressive.
In comparison, the monks of the Suspended Mountain are much inferior.
"The Palace Master exaggerates, one Fire Spirit Pearl is enough for me." Lu Qing said with a smile.
Han Lingshuang frowned, "Does the Revered One think I am retreating in order to advance, pretending to be generous? There’s no need for such thoughts. What I said is heartfelt.
If the Revered One truly has seen other treasures of interest, please take them along as well."
"I am well aware of the sincerity of the Palace Master, but apart from this Fire Spirit Pearl, the other treasures don’t hold much use for me, so there’s no need for your sect to be reluctant."
Han Lingshuang paused upon hearing these words.
She thought of Lu Qing’s unfathomable strength and knew he spoke truthfully.
Although there are many treasures in the Treasure Vault, their usefulness to such a powerful being as Lu Qing, who can easily slay even True Men of the Golden Core Realm, is questionable.
She scarcely dared to believe it herself.
Understanding that fact, she relaxed her brow, a bit regretfully saying, "It seems our Cold Water Palace’s heritage is too shallow; the treasures we collect fail to catch the Revered One’s eye."
Seeing her genuine regret, Lu Qing thought for a moment and said:
"The Palace Master is too courteous, but besides this Fire Spirit Pearl, there is one more thing I would like to request."
Han Lingshuang’s spirits lifted: "Why would the Revered One need to request? May I know what it is? As long as it’s something our Cold Water Palace can accomplish, we will spare no effort."
"I would like to borrow your sect’s Inheritance Skill for a look, would that be possible?"
"The Revered One wants to see our Cold Water Palace’s Inheritance Skill?" Han Lingshuang was taken aback.
"Indeed, I believe the Palace Master can see that my younger sister has a special constitution, quite akin to the Cold Ice Dao.
I wish to borrow your sect’s Inheritance Skill for a look to see if I can gain some insight from it to create a cultivation technique suitable for my younger sister.
Of course, I won’t take your sect’s skills without compensation; I will offer something as an exchange."
Han Lingshuang looked at Little Yan beside her.
Indeed, she could sense a peculiar aura emanating from Little Yan.
It was quite similar to the aura cultivated from their Cold Water Palace’s techniques.
This was one of the reasons they felt a natural affinity upon meeting.
Originally, she thought it was because Little Yan cultivated techniques akin to those of the Cold Water Palace.
Now it seems Little Yan actually possesses some rare constitution.
She thought for a moment and said, "It would be our honor for the Revered One to take an interest in our Cold Water Palace’s techniques.
However, the original texts of our Cold Water Palace’s cultivation techniques are not here, but in the Cultivation Method Hall.
Once we leave here, I will go fetch them for the Revered One.
As for the matter of exchange, the Revered One need not mention it again. With your life-saving grace to our Cold Water Palace, how could we possibly accept your items?"
Lu Qing smiled and did not continue to argue with Han Lingshuang.
He realized that she was exceedingly warm-hearted, and no matter what form of recompense he offered now, she likely wouldn’t accept it.
He stepped forward and took the Fire Spirit Pearl from the treasure shelf.
The Fire Spirit Pearl, unlike the Earth Spirit Pearl, was not heavy upon lifting.
Held in his hand, a warmth radiated from within.
Lu Qing probed inside with his Divine Soul Power to examine it.
Inside, he found there was almost no Fire Element Energy.
No wonder it was only regarded as an ordinary Treasure Bead by the Cold Water Palace.
Moreover, in this Cold Water Palace Secret Realm, where the Water Element Power, specifically cold power, reigns.
Even with spiritual energy recovery, it absorbed no Fire Element Power.
If not discovered by Lu Qing, it might have remained dormant deep within the Cold Water Palace’s Treasure Vault, never to awaken.
