Light Cultivation
Eps. 180 - Pearl Element
"This color is not toxic despite having a strange color, instead the water has the property to raise one's cultivation if soaking in it..."
Jian Chen said what Lily said when Lan Qiaoqiao asked him about the lake water.
"That means this pool water isn't ordinary water?" Lan Qiaoqiao asked half in surprise.
Jian Chen nodded, "The water that fills it is called fairy tears, anyone who soaks there and absorbs the water then his cultivation can increase very rapidly."
The five Lan brothers were so speechless that they could not believe that there was a pond that had such a precious property.
Jian Chen could feel the happiness of the five girls, in stark contrast to his seemingly ordinary expression after hearing the efficacy of the pond in front of him.
Of course for Jian Chen, how high the efficacy of those elf tears would be useless for his cultivation enhancement.
The cultivation of the Light God did not have to soak in a holy pond just to raise cultivation, either, he was quite cross-legged somewhere then absorbing the light around him then it was only a matter of time that the cultivation level of the light god would rise.
Jian Chen then checked to the other places around the peak of the Sky Mountain, he was curious that there must be something hidden by the fog formation maker here.
If the fairy-eye pond and the golden apple tree were the first dishes on this mountain peak then Jian Chen was sure there were other precious items inside.
Shortly afterwards Jian Chen found a building that looked like a small temple with one room inside.
The five Lan brothers did not come with Jian Chen as they wanted to pluck the golden apple first. Jian Chen activated his celestial eye to inspect the temple but found no formations or traps.
On the door of the temple there was some kind of inscription on it, Jian Chen guessed that this writing was made by the temple maker.
"Whoever you read this inscription, is someone chosen to be able to climb to the top of the sky mountain. No one has managed to climb this peak except with determination, courage, and patience.
"Behind this door there is an object that is most valuable and desired by many people even though no one knows how to use it. Whoever you are, if you want it, then be prepared to endure it all..."
Jian Chen read the inscription on the stone door, "Hm, does this mean that the chosen one is me?"
"This writing is general." Lily snorted in annoyance. "Don't be too confident. If it wasn't for this Princess you'd have been sucked in her soul by that fog..."
Jian Chen scratched his cheek with an awkward smile, it was true that Lily did not tell Jian Chen not to look back maybe he could not get here.
According to Lily the fog was a very powerful formation and cost the life of its maker. Neither Jian Chen nor Lily could break the formation except by going through it.
If Jian Chen had turned his head back, he would have sucked his soul like the previous victims. That was why even the Sky Realm Swordsman could not break through this powerful protective formation, as the maker only wanted to test his opponent's character instead of his strength.
Jian Chen then poured energy inside the stone door according to the instructions from his inscription. Instantly, the stone door that looked sturdy shifted slowly automatically.
Inside the small temple Jian Chen did not find any treasures be it gold or heirlooms like the Asura God Sword.
He only found a small box open with a glowing pearl-like ball inside.
"Do you really forget, from your mental age you shouldn't be old, it's the same pearl you were with that old ghost."
Jiak Chen needed time to realize the old ghost that Lily meant was Ye Ao, a spirit figure she had met in the Lonely Forest.
Recalling that back Jian Chen so remember that the pearl ball in front of him was an element pearl exactly like the one Ye Ao had given him just had a different color.
If the previous element pearl color was blue then the pearl in front of Jian Chen now shone a white color.
"Lily, did you know this element pearl, back when I was forced to swallow it I was able to use other elements in my body. Looks like this thing is so valuable that Ye Ao or the temple maker has to hide here?" Jian Chen hoped he would get an explanation because all this time Lily knew everything.
"Actually I don't know exactly what a pearl thing is but I once read in one of those dull books that there's a legendary heirloom that can add elements to a person's body if it swallows it..."
Lily said that perhaps the intent of the heirloom was the thing called the Pearl of the Elements that Jian Chen had in hand.
Even if it is true then whoever has it he must be a strong swordsman.
Jian Chen looked doubtful. "I'm not too sure about it, I've seen those who swallow these pearls die instantly."
Jian Chen certainly still remembered before he swallowed Ye Ao's ice Pearl, there were many people before who froze to death from swallowing their pearls.
Lily folded her hands on her chest. "Of course it will die, because the pearl you swallowed before still has a protective formation, you don't realize because you were too afraid at that time."
Lily was astonished that Jian Chen was still alive after swallowing the thing that the deadly formation contained within.
The girl was quite certain that the white pearl Jian Chen was holding did not have an ice pearl-like formation, she even forced Jian Chen to swallow it.
"Just calm down, there is no deadly formation in the pearl. If you swallow it you'll get a new element, that's all I can deduce now."
Jian Chen sighed, actually without Lily's suggestion Jian Chen would definitely try such a thing, he also felt Lily's words were the same as he thought.
If the blue pearl is an ice element, then the white pearl is likely another element.
Taking a deep breath and rounding his resolve, Jian Chen swallowed the white pearl into his body before sitting cross-legged.
Jian Chen initially felt a warm sensation in his stomach before the warmth spread throughout the body.
Jian Chen frowned while his eyes were still closed, he could feel the pearl slowly shrinking and being absorbed into his dantian.
The pearl did not have much light to be processed by Jian Chen but on the same side it did not have any side effects like the ice pearl before.
Jian Chen sensed that there was a powerful energy flowing in his bloodstream, the energy was impressed foreign as it united with his body.
Jian Chen opened his eyes slowly after the pearl absorption process had been completed, he did not understand but his body now felt much different.
