Empress: My Husband Killed The Immortal Emperor After 10 Years Of Seclusion - Chapter 24

Chapter 24 Unsealing the Fire Spirit Pearl

After returning to his room.

Li Xuan placed the materials he had bought on the wooden table and took out a carving knife to carve a pattern on a jade.

The pattern was a six-pointed star seal. Li Xuan planned to engrave some sealing jade talismans that could be used at the critical moment.

Of course, his greatest goal was the small bead.

The reason why Li Xuan bought the materials was to undo the seal on the small bead.

Previously, when he obtained the small bead, Li Xuan thought that he would need to gather a lot of small beads to use.

However, after becoming a blood essence sealing master, Li Xuan discovered that there was a seal around this small bead, causing the small bead to be in an obscure state and be unable to reveal its original appearance.

Li Xuan looked forward to its true appearance very much, so he asked Qin Yue to help him carve it bit by bit to create the jade seal.

An hour later, Li Xuan pulled Qin Yue’s small hand and walked into the basement with the eight jade talismans. They walked into the place where Li Xuan usually cultivated in seclusion.

This place was very quiet and sealed. With the door closed, they would basically not be disturbed.

This was a very good place to seal the small bead. Therefore, after the two of them arrived at the basement, they sat on the meditation cushion and set up the eight jade sealing talismans before placing the small bead in the center.

“Qin Yue, it’ll hurt a little later. Don’t be afraid.” Li Xuan looked at the adorable Qin Yue beside him.

“Yes, yes. Master, I’m not afraid,” Qin Yue said with a serious expression.

“Alright, give me your hand.”

“Alright.”

Looking at the fair hand in front of him, Li Xuan grabbed Qin Yue’s index finger and gently pricked it with a silver needle. Instantly, red blood flowed out of her fair fingertip.

Li Xuan gently pinched Qin Yue’s index finger and dripped her blood on the eight jade sealing talismans before finally dripping it on the small bead.

In an instant, the blood essence that contained the power of flames began to shine, and circles of fire waves spread in all directions.

Buzz!

The sound of bees flying sounded. As this voice sounded, a strange light rippled and began to slowly rise. A finger-sized word appeared in midair.

“Unravel!”

Li Xuan’s blood essence surged and was quickly injected into the first jade token. In an instant, the word “unravel” exploded in the air, and a cracking sound sounded.

Crack! Crack!

Crack! The red light on the small bead surged. A layer of something that seemed to be a cuticle cracked on the small bead and finally landed on the ground.

A red light flickered, and the small bead emitted a faint scorching light. A strange force surged.

“This is!”

Li Xuan did not sense the strange energy, but he kept feeling that something had happened. He could not help but look at Qin Yue.

“Master, the small bead has been unsealed. It’s not complete, but it can absorb the energy contained in the air and condense it.”

“I can sense that this energy is useful to us.” Qin Yue hurriedly explained, her large eyes filled with anticipation.

“Energy?”

Li Xuan sensed carefully and could only sense that the small bead was extraordinary, but he could not figure out what was going on.

“What energy is being condensed? Spirit energy?” Li Xuan could not help but ask when he thought of the immortal cultivators in this world.

“That’s right, spirit energy. I didn’t know what it was called at first. However, now, I understand. It’s condensing spirit energy and turning it into special small water droplets.”

Qin Yue explained seriously and blinked at the small bead.

“I see.”

Li Xuan picked up the small bead and looked carefully. He discovered that it was becoming more and more fiery red. It was like a small furnace in his hand and was very warm.

However, Li Xuan also sensed the little bead’s rejection of him, as if it did not belong to Li Xuan at all.

Li Xuan knew very well that this small bead belonged to Qin Yue. He simply handed the small bead to Qin Yue and smiled.

“Here, take the small bead.”

“Master, I can’t take it. It clearly belongs to Master. If I take it, it will be too much.” Qin Yue shook her head and firmly refused.

“It’s fine. Just treat it as a greeting gift. I didn’t give you anything when I took you in as my disciple back then. Consider it compensation this time,” Li Xuan said indifferently.

This small bead originally belonged to Qin Yue and could help her increase her strength. As her strength increased, Li Xuan could also obtain more rewards.

Li Xuan naturally knew what to do. Moreover, the small bead was still incomplete. In the future, Qin Yue would definitely trigger some special event with this small bead. If he held onto it, he probably would not trigger anything in his life.

Therefore, Li Xuan held Qin Yue’s small hand and placed the small bead in Qin Yue’s palm.

“But Master…” Qin Yue still wanted to say something, but she was stopped by Li Xuan.

“Take good care of it. In the future, you’ll be its master. If you feel bad, just give me another gift in the future.” Li Xuan smiled.

“Yes, yes. In the future, I have to prepare a huge gift for Master.” Qin Yue clenched her small fists and said firmly.

“How obedient. Alright, go and cultivate. I’ll continue to study the seal.” Li Xuan waved his hand.

“Alright, Master.”

Qin Yue nodded obediently. The small bead was warm in her hand, and her originally cold hand became abnormally warm.

In a warm mood, Qin Yue left the basement every few steps and returned to her room to cultivate.

Li Xuan continued to study the jade pendant and looked in the direction of the White Cloud Mine.

“I’ll make some preparations in advance to prevent an emergency.”

With that said, Li Xuan continued to engrave the sealing jade pendant with the carving knife and worked tirelessly to prevent danger from descending.

On the other side, in the willow courtyard beside the White Cloud Escort Agency.

After Xing’er bought this small courtyard, she instructed some servants to clean it and change the furniture. After doing all of this, she sat under the willow tree and cultivated.

When she opened her eyes, the sun was already high in the sky.

“Hah! My cultivation has improved a little and I’m getting closer and closer to breaking through. Indeed, those who are close to the chosen one increase their cultivation faster.”

Xing’er thought of Qin Yue and felt that she was very lucky to be able to become a Dao Protector. However, when she thought of Li Xuan, Xing’er immediately felt somewhat discouraged.

“I originally wanted to show off in front of Qin Yue, but I didn’t expect to not get a single chance. On the other hand, Li Xuan’s performance has made me look at him in a different light.”

Xing’er shook her head gently. Although she felt that Li Xuan was very outstanding, she still had a lot of resentment towards him. After all, she was the one who was Qin Yue’s Dao Protector and the true guardian.

However, she did not expect Qin Yue to trust Li Xuan instead of her. This made Xingler very depressed.

“No, I have to show what I’m capable of. Only in this way can I attract Qin Yue and make her trust me more and leave with me.”

Xing’er muttered as she thought of the small bead and immediately smiled.

“The Fire Spirit Pearl is in a sealed state. Only immortal cultivators can undo the seal. I deliberately didn’t make a move these few days to let Qin Yue understand how difficult it is to undo the seal.” “Now, it’s also time for me to intervene. As long as I unseal the Fire Spirit Bead in front of Qin Yue, Qin Yue will understand that I’m the strongest. Hahaha.”
