Lighting Lanterns in the Mountains and Seas

I couldn't believe it, Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang were stunned by what I had said.

Especially Shi Chun, he didn't know the significance of this treasure, mainly because he obtained it so easily. With just a flick of the Boundless Banner, it was in his hands, so he didn't think much of it, not realizing how powerful it was, just feeling it was unbelievably heavy, as he couldn't carry it himself.

If he had known its importance earlier, he wouldn't have ignored it, leaving it in the Boundless Banner almost forgotten.

So he doubted Chu Jingtang's judgment, after all, Chu Jingtang wasn't from a famous sect, his vision was limited, and he tentatively asked, "Are you sure this thing is as powerful as you say?"

Chu Jingtang looked furious and said, "Master, this is the Mixed Sea Pearl, an unrivaled treasure that our Bilan Sect desires greatly. This pearl perfectly complements the Cultivation Technique of our Bilan Sect, if I had the pearl's assistance, my cultivation progress would be incredible.

Master may not know, long ago, when Bilan Sect was founded, it was famous worldwide because our founding ancestor comprehended the Mixed Sea Pearl, creating a unique path. Therefore, this pearl is extremely compatible with Bilan Sect's Cultivation Method, but later generations had difficulty obtaining such an opportunity.

Understand that one Mixed Sea Pearl represents an oceanic eye, and finding one with spiritual intelligence to refine is difficult. More challenging is the time requirement, which necessitates a Water Manipulation Technique expert nurturing it for at least a thousand years before this treasure can be cultivated. With all these conditions combined, one can imagine how rare and precious this treasure is.

Bilan Sect knows the Water Mansion Grandmother possesses this treasure; hence, every time she celebrates her birthday, the Sect Master personally leads people to congratulate her, hoping to borrow the treasure. But the Water Mansion Grandmother keeps it protected, and Bilan Sect isn't influential enough to borrow it, so how unexpected that Master obtained it, I'm truly amazed to see such a legendary treasure."

Wu Jinliang scratched his head, mouth grinning endlessly, "Wondering how much it would sell for."

"..." Chu Jingtang's expression shook, suddenly looking at Shi Chun with some anxiety, realizing he had praised this treasure too much. Such an important treasure would likely not be given to him, thus behind his rugged beard, his gaze towards Shi Chun held an indescribable plea.

He couldn't bring himself to ask for it because the treasure was incredibly valuable.

Shi Chun glanced at their reactions, finally throwing a disdainful look at Wu Jinliang, spitting out, "Vulgar."

Vulgar? Wu Jinliang pointed to his own nose, stunned, really wanting to ask him how much better he could be.

Shi Chun didn't spar with him further, addressing Chu Jingtang, "Since this treasure suits you, and it fell into my hands, you've followed me, then it should be your fate, take it."

Generously given, without hesitation, grandly!

It wasn't just empty talk; he also felt Chu Jingtang's opportunity had arrived.

Such a precious treasure, earlier on, he wouldn't say he wouldn't give it away, but he would certainly ponder deeply for a while.

Now that's different; since this Mixed Sea Pearl is of no use to him, he can't carry it, selling it for money is unnecessary because he got the mining rights on Yanfu Continent, he might secretly become the richest person in the world.

Isn't this Chu Jingtang's opportunity?

Wu Jinliang was genuinely touched by his generosity, having lived comfortably for just a few days, though quickly he understood, realizing it indeed was unnecessary.

Chu Jingtang's face was filled with immense joy; he immediately clasped his hands and bowed low, "Thank you, Master. I will say no more, time will tell, please watch my performance."

Shi Chun shook the Banner, "Then take it out."

Upon hearing this, Chu Jingtang looked slightly embarrassed, "Well, I can't carry it right now, but the previous owner is dead, give me a day to bond with it, and it should acknowledge me as its master, allowing me to easily take it out."

Being so, Shi Chun tossed the Boundless Banner to him, "Return it to me once you take it out. You're relieved from protecting Huang Yingying, focus on refining the treasure and claiming ownership."

Chu Jingtang held the Boundless Banner with excitement, "Thank you, Master, for fulfilling my wish!"

Shi Chun didn't converse further; he turned and headed towards the cave.

Wu Jinliang then forcefully slapped Chu Jingtang's shoulder, "Isn't it satisfying?"

"Heh heh..." Chu Jingtang hugged the Boundless Banner, smiling like Wu Jinliang.

Wu Jinliang again slapped him, "This was gotten by killing the Water Mansion Grandmother's grandson and offending her; Master gave it to you, isn't he decent?"

Chu Jingtang laughed foolishly, nodding vigorously.

"Why are you still giggling, hurry off, you only have a day, there are bigger things outside." Wu Jinliang shoved him, then turned to follow Shi Chun.

With uncontainable excitement on his face, Chu Jingtang caressed the Boundless Banner, feeling beyond delighted.

Previously, he was stuck in the Netherworld for many years without any arrangement for rotation, if he claimed he didn't have any complaints, that would be false, now he definitely doesn't, even if Master lets him stay here for life, he would nod and agree without hesitation!

After retreating into the cave, it didn't take him a whole day; less than half a day later, he emerged.

Outside the cave, he found Shi Chun, Wu Jinliang, and a sneaky old man chatting, waiting for him; the latter was Huang Yingying, the trio somewhat acted as his protectors.

Chu Jingtang stepped forward quickly, respectfully returning the Boundless Banner with both hands.

Seeing the joy on his face, it was apparent, but Shi Chun still confirmed, "Took it out?"
