Chapter 10 - 9: Manluo Demon Pearl
A sudden chill surged through Lin Xuankong, his heart filled with surprise and suspicion. Could the important matter the Young Lady mentioned be this pearl? Why does this pearl give me such an intense feeling of oppression and danger?
Seeing his tense expression, Lii Xiaolan couldn’t help but smile, her eyes curving into crescents. "Seeing your reaction, you must have never seen one before! This kind of pearl is called a Demon Pearl. It forms after a powerful Demon is slain. However, the Demon Pearl I am holding has been processed through a special refining method, dispersing over ninety-nine percent of the Demon Qi. So, even a Martial Cultivator at the first layer of Transcendence can use it without worrying about being assimilated by demonic power!"
This is the Demon Pearl formed after a Demon’s death?
Lin Xuankong was stunned. Of course, he had heard of Demons. Outside Great Marsh Prefecture City, Demons often roamed, preying on humans. Ordinary people were defenseless against them. Therefore, each prefecture, city, and town of the Great Xia Dynasty had many Martial Cultivators guarding them to prevent Demons from rampaging.
As for Demon Pearls... It was said that only exceptionally powerful Demons, upon being slain, had an extremely low likelihood of forming a Demon Pearl!
Regular Demons were already terrifying beings; killing powerful enough ones to obtain a Demon Pearl was far from easy!
Therefore, Demon Pearls were considered quite rare. Coupled with their multiple uses, it was said that each was highly valuable!
His predecessor had only occasionally heard whispered rumors about Demon Pearls; he had never expected to see such a precious item with his own eyes.
The value of this Demon Pearl... it could probably buy more than a hundred thousand steamed buns... My Young Lady actually possesses such a precious Demon Pearl! Could she already be strong enough to slay powerful Demons?
Lin Xuankong’s face was full of doubt.
