Chapter 560: The Water Kirin Egg
Thanks to Insight’s information-gathering ability, the details of the treasure quickly appeared before Marcus’s eyes, and the words burst out of his mouth before he could stop himself."A Water Kirin!"
He stared at the two treasures floating above the swirling whirlpool, his mind momentarily going blank. No monsters had emerged from the vortex; instead, only two items wrapped in dazzling golden light hovered above the water.
Hearing his shout, the women immediately gathered around him. "Marcus... did you just say a Kirin?" Disbelief filled their faces as they hurried to his side, their eyes fixed on the glowing blue pet egg.
"Yeah," Marcus said, nodding slowly, still struggling to process what he was seeing. "This pet egg belongs to a Divine Beast, a Water Kirin."
Even saying the words aloud felt unreal; a Kirin was an ancient Divine Beast, a legendary creature that countless people had only ever heard about in myths, yet somehow, one had appeared right before him. This was unbelievable.
His companions could barely contain themselves, repeatedly glancing between Marcus and the pet egg floating above the whirlpool. Seeing their anxious expressions, Marcus quickly shared everything Insight had uncovered.
—
More than ten thousand years ago, a holy monk from the Eastern Seas visited Lady Green Tide and borrowed her Mythic Artifact, the Jade Purification Vase. The artifact possessed powerful healing abilities and could continuously gather water-element energy, making it the perfect treasure to heal an injured Water Kirin egg.
Lady Green Tide readily agreed, placing both the Jade Purification Vase and the damaged Water Kirin egg inside the swirling whirlpool, where water-element energy was at its purest. Using the endless spiritual energy gathered by the whirlpool, the vase slowly nurtured and repaired the damaged egg over countless years.

That was all Insight revealed. The blue pet egg was obviously the Water Kirin’s egg, while the blue jade vase beneath it was Lady Green Tide’s Jade Purification Vase. There was no doubt about it: they had truly struck the jackpot.
"Marcus, it’s been over ten thousand years. Does that mean the egg has completely healed? Can we really hatch a Water Kirin now?" Jade asked excitedly, while everyone else looked at Marcus with equally hopeful expressions.
Unfortunately, Insight only revealed the item’s history; it didn’t answer questions about its current condition.
"It... should be healed by now," Marcus said, not entirely certain, but that seemed like the most reasonable conclusion.
