Chapter 341 - 338: Life Fluctuations

After witnessing the power of the Black Spheres, Gao Fei began to feel some regret. He regretted giving Jiang Qilong twelve Black Spheres and pondered in his heart whether he should snatch them back.

"Gao, my friend!" Jiang Qilong spoke, "You were the one who voluntarily gave me the Black Spheres, you can't ask for them back!" With that said, Jiang Qilong added another sentence, "Honesty is essential, as is having a bottom line in life."

Honesty?

Bottom line?

Gao Fei curled his lips, "Guess what I was just thinking?"

"What?"

"I was thinking… about snatching the Black Spheres off you and then killing you, to silence you permanently."

"Ah!?" Jiang Qilong was terrified and hastily retreated backward.

"However, I've changed my mind," Gao Fei sighed lightly, "I'm just too soft-hearted, I can't be ruthless."

Although Gao Fei mentioned that he had changed his mind, Jiang Qilong nevertheless remained highly vigilant, keeping his distance and not daring to get close to Gao Fei.

"I have a request, I hope you will agree to it."

"What is it?"

"If… and I'm just saying if! If I ever need the Black Spheres you have, you must lend them to me."

"..."

"Rest assured, I won't borrow them for nothing! I will compensate you generously."

"..."

"Of course, I'm speaking hypothetically, it might never happen."

"... Fine, I agree," Jiang Qilong nodded reluctantly, wanting to get past this immediate issue. As for the future… he'd deal with it later. In the worst case, he could just find a hidden place to hide so Gao Fei could never find him.

Gao Fei obtained a total of three items in the Immortal Palace… oh, no, it should be four items. They were the Black Spheres, a white egg, a Life-saving Talisman, and a Memory Stone.

The purpose of the Black Spheres was already clear, and the function of the Life-saving Talisman was known as well. As for the Memory Stone… he would study it later. Gao Fei intuitively believed the Memory Stone to be an extraordinary treasure.

The last item was the white egg.

"Swoosh!"

Gao Fei took out a transparent little bottle from his storage ring. Inside the bottle were some white eggs. Gently shaking the bottle caused the white eggs to sway back and forth, emitting a faint clinking sound.

What animal could these eggs belong to?

Back in the Immortal Palace, the old man in the Memory Stone only spoke of some long-past events, and in the end, he gave Gao Fei a Life-saving Talisman. As for the Black Spheres and the white egg, he didn't mention them at all. It was uncertain whether the old man had forgotten or intentionally concealed this information.

Gao Fei hesitated for a moment then opened the bottle cap.

Standing at a distance, Jiang Qilong leaned forward, equally curious about the white egg.

"Plunk!"

Gao Fei poured out an egg from the bottle and held it in his palm to examine it closely. It felt soft and warm to the touch, and a mysterious power on the eggshell prevented his Clairvoyance from peering inside.

"There's a life fluctuation." Gao Fei's eyes lit up. Just now, he had clearly sensed life fluctuation within the white egg, "The creature inside is still alive."

This was no simple matter!

These white eggs were collected by the owner of the Immortal Palace, Chen Fengchen, who lived tens of thousands of years ago. This meant… these white eggs had been alive for tens of thousands of years… Being alive after such a long time was quite remarkable.

Gao Fei had a question in his mind: Tens of thousands of years had passed, why was there no sign of these white eggs hatching?

What was the problem?

Was it because these white eggs took an extremely long time to hatch, or had there been a mutation that prevented them from hatching?

Gao Fei pondered for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

```

Should I crack one open to take a look? Gao Fei was somewhat hesitant in his heart. He had always been careful in his actions, and before he could understand the origins of the white eggs, it would be best not to touch them. It would be trouble if it brought about great chaos.

In an instant, Gao Fei made a decision. He decided to collect the white eggs first and study them slowly later. The world was so big, there definitely would be someone who recognized the origins of these eggs. If all else failed, he could look through ancient texts and secrets. Perhaps he could find information about the white eggs there.

"Hey, why did you put them away?" Jiang Qilong called out, "You should give me some! You said it yourself, as long as there are enough treasures, you would share some with me."

"Don't worry, I'll share with you once I figure out the origins of these eggs," Gao Fei put him off with a casual remark.

"I hope you keep your word," Jiang Qilong huffed.

"Jiang Qilong, what are your plans next?" Gao Fei asked.

"I'm going to find my subordinates, and then lead them to keep robbing," Jiang Qilong said.

"Let's part ways here then. I hope we have the chance to meet again in the future," Gao Fei waved his hand and then strode away.

"Phew…" Jiang Qilong sighed with relief, "Finally sent this jinx away. These past few days... were the darkest days of my life! I swear, I never want to see you again in this lifetime!" Jiang Qilong patted the dust off his body, then left, whistling a tune with his hands behind his back.

Neither Gao Fei nor Jiang Qilong thought that they would see each other again. But in reality... not only did they meet again, but a series of events also transpired between them, and in the end, it was hard for the two to part.

Of course, all of that is a story for another time. Let's not delve into it for now.

…

Every flower blooms in its own way, showing its unique beauty.

Next, let's talk about Dongfang Jian's situation.

Dongfang Jian made the acquaintance of the Niu Family's first ancestor in the Myriad Bone Cave, which set him on the path to glory.

Myriad Bone Cave.

There were bones everywhere, filled with a desolate air.

Inside a cave abode.

Dongfang Jian was seated cross-legged on the ground, his eyelids drooping, hands resting flat on his knees, motionless.

"Tap tap tap…"

Light footsteps sounded from outside.

Dongfang Jian's eyelids twitched slightly, and then he opened his eyes, "Master, why have you come over here? Is there something you need from me?" As he spoke, Dongfang Jian stood up.

A wooden figurine wobbled into the room, "How have you been feeling these past few days?"

"Pretty good," Dongfang Jian nodded, "My mental state is becoming more and more stable."

"If I asked you to attempt the Golden Core Stage now, how confident would you be?" the wooden figurine asked.

"Um…" Dongfang Jian hesitated, "I should have about fifty percent confidence…"

"Fifty percent?" The wooden figurine frowned, "The chances are a bit low."

"I have let Master down, due to my foolishness," Dongfang Jian bowed his head.

"Actually, you've done quite well," the wooden figurine waved its hand, "to have cultivated to the Great Perfection of the Inedia Stage in such a short amount of time is already quite remarkable. I asked too much of you, always hoping that you would ascend to heaven in a single step and then lead the Niu Family to restore its glory."

"Master…"

"I will give you three more days to stabilize your mental state. After three days, you will attempt the Golden Core Stage."

"Ah? So soon?"

"Don't worry, I will act as your protector. With me here, nothing will go wrong."

"I will follow Master's orders," Dongfang Jian nodded.

"Continue your cultivation. I will come back in three days." After a few instructions, the wooden figurine turned and left.
