Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

"What did you see? Did you discover some Treasures of Heaven and Earth?" Chu Linfeng hurriedly asked, rarely curious about Xiao Qiang’s adventures.

"I saw a coffin, a very large coffin quietly resting in the Blood River, and the energy fluctuations were coming from this coffin. Out of curiosity, I dived directly into the Blood River. The river water wasn’t as simple as it seemed on the surface; there was a powerful pressure.

With my strength, I was nearly suffocated by the pressure, which was quite baffling. However, I made it to this coffin, and when I mustered all my strength to open it, a powerful suction pulled me inside." Xiao Qiang recounted with lingering fear.

Chu Linfeng was suddenly startled and immediately asked, "Was there someone inside the coffin? Or something special?"

"The coffin was empty, but after I went inside, it wasn’t a coffin anymore. Instead, it was a very mysterious space, divided into two colors, one white and the other black. I was right in the middle of these two colors.

Later, I chose to enter the white space. The light inside was so dazzling that I couldn’t open my eyes. It was like there were numerous suns, really peculiar. It took a long time to adjust, but even then, I could only squint to see.

At that time, I saw many pearls flying in the air, so I casually grabbed one. Unexpectedly, the pearl shot out a beam of white light that almost pierced my hand, very bizarre. After wandering inside for several months, I picked up a pearl on the ground, but this time it didn’t harm me." Xiao Qiang explained.

At this moment, the waiter brought more food and drinks, and Chu Linfeng said, "Let’s drink. What you encountered is indeed bizarre. So how did you get out?"

"Speaking of which, I don’t know how I got out. As I was walking, I suddenly felt my body being sucked away, like I had entered a Teleportation Gate, disappearing from the original place and appearing in a pitch-black area.

In this dark area, there were pearls flying too, but I no longer tried to grab them. I can’t say how long I stayed in that dark space, maybe years or even decades; it’s a kind of existence you can’t quite grasp. Later, after my eyes adjusted, I found a black pearl.

Strangely, when I placed the black pearl together with the white pearl, a powerful force emanated from them, and I was instantly knocked unconscious. When I woke up, I found myself at the riverbank of the Blood River.

However, more than half of my bones were fractured, and several of my tendons were snapped. I had no choice but to sit there and slowly recover. Without any Star Stones, my recovery was very slow.

Once I fully recovered, I found that the coffin in the Blood River had vanished, and the two pearls no longer reacted, only showing slight energy fluctuations. Since then, they haven’t exhibited any more changes.

Acquiring these two pearls made me brush with death numerous times, and it cost me a lot of time. If it weren’t for needing the Nether Stone for cultivation, I wouldn’t have sold them." Xiao Qiang recounted all this in one breath, leaving Chu Linfeng quite stunned.

"I never expected something like this. It seems I need to give you a few more Star Stones, or it wouldn’t be fair." Chu Linfeng said with a laugh.

Xiao Qiang also took out the two pearls and handed them to Chu Linfeng, saying, "Qingshuang, I know you are a capable person. Perhaps you can help me unravel the secrets of these pearls. You must tell me when you do."

"Definitely, here’s a Star Crystal and a thousand Top-grade Star Stones for you to cultivate. In a few days, I might be visiting Jiuyou City’s Lord of Netherworld’s daughter, Princess Yiyi, so you must come for a celebration drink." Chu Linfeng said.

"You really have some skills, managing to win that girl over, I’ll surely come!" Xiao Qiang laughed.

After a few rounds of drinks, Chu Linfeng parted ways with Xiao Qiang and went upstairs. Getting these two magical pearls made him extremely happy. From Xiao Qiang’s adventure, he could be certain these two pearls were related to the Sword Spirit’s Light Spirit Pearl and Dark Spirit Pearl.

Upon entering the room, Lin Ruoxi and another woman were chatting. Seeing Chu Linfeng enter, they immediately stood up, "Lin Feng, what took you so long?" Princess Yiyi, unaware of Xiao Qiang selling pearls, asked.

"I met a friend and got some things from him. So, Yiyi, aren’t you going back? Planning to stay here overnight? I have no objections, but your father might worry, and it could cause a scandal in the city." Chu Linfeng said.

"I’ll leave soon. What about Ruoxi? Isn’t she going back? You wouldn’t let her stay overnight, right? You’re siblings, after all. It wouldn’t be good for her reputation if word got out." Princess Yiyi glanced at Lin Ruoxi and said.

"Don’t worry, I’ll let Ruoxi go back. But I need to discuss some matters with her, so she needs to stay for a while. Yiyi, you should head back first. I’ll definitely come to see your father tomorrow." Chu Linfeng reassured.

"Princess Yiyi, my brother does have things to discuss with me, it might take some time. You should go first; everyone’s already worried about you. The Lord of Netherworld might be sending people to look for you right now." Lin Ruoxi laughed, eager to enjoy some alone time with Chu Linfeng.

Princess Yiyi was reluctant to leave, but considering the possibility, she said, "Alright! Remember, you must come tomorrow, or else I won’t let you off!"

"I keep my promises; don’t worry. When have I ever lied to you?" Chu Linfeng smiled.

After Princess Yiyi left, Lin Ruoxi immediately asked, "Lin Feng, did you get the pearls? Who exactly was that middle-aged man? Why are you so sure he’d come looking for you?"

"Ruoxi, he is the former Sect Leader of the Holy Sword Sect, a figure from the same era as me. I didn’t expect him to still be alive, which was quite a surprise.

But now it’s great; having him means we have one more powerful ally to get the Netherworld Purple Orchid. This guy is at the Third Layer of Venerable Martial Realm, extremely formidable." Chu Linfeng said.

"The former Sect Leader of the Holy Sword Sect? That’s quite a coincidence. What exactly are these pearls that make them worth so many Nether Stones? It’s terrifying to think about." Lin Ruoxi asked.

"I’m not very sure either. We’ll find out eventually, but right now I have a very important matter to handle," Chu Linfeng stated seriously.

Seeing Chu Linfeng’s solemn expression, Lin Ruoxi asked, "What is it? Are you planning to go out again?"

"I never said I was going out. I haven’t been with my Ruoxi for a long time, so I naturally need some exercise!" Chu Linfeng said and, taking advantage of Lin Ruoxi’s momentary inattention, he scooped her up...
