Chapter 1002: Heavenly Dipper Pearl Condensation Art
Li Luo pondered over how he could possibly feel a sense of familiarity with someone he had never met, the locked eyes with each other briefly.
The delicate body of the veiled lady shook a little when she saw that recognizably handsome face. Many suppressed emotions overwhelmed her like an uncontrollable tidal wave.
However, someone walked between them at this point and blocked their sight.
The girl regained control over her emotions, which quietly dissipated as she raised her head and looked at the person in front of her.
It was a tall and good-looking young man with a bright smile on his face. His eyes were warm as he asked in a friendly voice, "What's the matter, Young Mistress Qing?"
This gentleman was named Mu Yao. He was the beloved grandson of an elder of the Golden Dragon Bank's headquarters in the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent. In terms of background, he was possibly one of the most prestigious amongst the young cultivators that had entered the Spiritual Resonance Cave. His talent was also extraordinary. He was also just as well known as the top elites like Zhao Yan, Qin Ying, and Li Wuyuan. When she heard his question, the lady called Young Mistress Qing shook her head gently and replied softly, "It's nothing, I just felt a wave of dizziness after being transported here. Speaking of which, thank you so much for your protection throughout this trip, Big Brother Mu."
Mu Yao smiled and responded, "You're too kind, Young Mistress Qing. There are many strong people around you. There's no need for me to protect you at all. It's just that we have to do a great job as the hosts, or my grandfather will give me a hard time when I return."
His attitude and words were passionate. While they were talking, his eyes also lingered on the beautiful eyes of the young lady that were as clear as an icy lake. These were faint signs that he was interested in her... No, in fact, it was pretty obvious to everyone around them.
However, this was to be expected. After all, a virtuous lady was the perfect partner for a gentleman like him. This young mistress came from a prestigious bloodline with an extraordinary background. In terms of status and looks, she was leagues above the girls back in the headquarters of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent's Golden Dragon Bank. As such, it was no surprise that Mu Yao's heart was moved.
"Young Mistress Qing, we've entered the Spiritual Resonance Palace already. Your mission is our priority. We of the Golden Dragon Bank headquarters will give you our full support," Mu Yao continued.
"I'm sorry to have troubled you all."
Then Young Mistress Qing nodded slightly. She did not seem to notice the feverish gaze coming from Mu Yao as she continued, "Without further ado, let's move out, then."
"Let's go, Elder Sister Jin."
She turned around, and there was a tall lady that had been following her closely, protecting her at all times.
The tall lady nodded in agreement. Leading the group, they quickly made their way over to the end of the square.
Young Mistress Qing stopped herself from looking over at Li Luo again as she hurriedly followed the group. Her most important task on hand was to finish her mission. She could find a chance to meet Li Luo again later.
Mu Yao and his group followed them from behind. However, he turned and looked over at Li Luo before he left. His eyes moved a little. He had been closely watching Young Mistress Qing all this while, so he had naturally noticed that she had glanced at Li Luo earlier. Previously unseen emotions were present in her usually cold eyes. Clearly, she was not looking at a stranger.
Besides... he had many informants as the grandson of a senior elder of the Heavenly Origin Divine Continent's Golden Dragon Bank. He knew that Young Mistress Qing had sent someone to deliver a Nine Orifices Dipper Smelting Pill over to Li Luo on the night before they entered the Spiritual Resonance Cave.
This confirmed his suspicion that they knew each other. In fact, they were probably very close.
"Li Luo is from an outer divine continent, right? How did he get to know Young Mistress Qing?" A faint smile hung on Mu Yao's handsome face as he murmured to himself, but there was a cold light briefly flashed across his eyes.
"I hope you don't spoil my plans."
…….
Li Luo turned back towards his team as he watched people disappear into the distance. He was unsure if that familiar feeling from before was his imagination.
"Let's move out. Since we've arrived at the Spiritual Resonance Palace, we have to give the Heavenly Dipper Wheel a go," Li Wuyuan stated. Everyone's attention was drawn to him immediately.
"Heavenly Dipper Wheel? What's that?" Li Luo asked Li Fuling in confusion.
"The Heavenly Dipper Wheel is a mythical treasure found in the Spiritual Resonance Palace. It is said to contain countless Pearl Condensation Arts. As long as one puts in some Spirit Resonance Golden Dew, they will be able to get a Pearl Condensation Art that suits them. Many of the Heavenly Pearl rogue cultivators have chosen to come into the Spiritual Resonance Cave largely due to this," Li Fuling explained.
Li Luo's heart moved a little. "Pearl Condensation Arts?"
He had heard about these before. Just like the Fiend Arts he cultivated back at the Earth Fiend Tier, Pearl Condensation Arts were cultivation methods unique to the Heavenly Pearl Tier. Their use was simply to speed up the process of condensing a new Heavenly Pearl.
As Li Luo had just broken into the Heavenly Pearl Tier, he did not have a chance to properly pick up any Pearl Condensation Arts for himself. There were also many of them kept in the Dragon's Fang Lineage so he was not in a hurry. Initially, he had planned to look for one that suited him back in the Dragon's Fang Lineage after the Spiritual Resonance Cave had concluded.
"Cousin Li Luo, you can try your luck since you've reached the Heavenly Pearl Tier already. Although there are many Pearl Condensation Arts back in the Dragon's Fang Lineage, they pale in comparison to the sheer collection available in the Heavenly Dipper Wheel. Moreover, the Pearl Condensation Arts from here have a strong affinity with one's resonance. You have triple resonances, so your requirements for a Pearl Condensation Art must be really stringent. If you can find one that suits you from the Heavenly Dipper Wheel, it'll be wonderful," Li Fuling suggested.
Li Luo was slightly moved by her words. A good and suitable Pearl Condensation Art was the dream of every cultivator at the Heavenly Pearl Tier.
As the two of them were chatting about it, they began to follow Li Wuyuan. They swiftly walked towards one side of the square.
At the same time, Li Luo also noticed many others moving in the same direction. They were clearly going after the so-called Heavenly Dipper Wheel too.
As they all moved at top speed in the same direction, an elevated platform came into sight after a few moments. A giant, white jade wheel that was thousands of feet tall stood on the platform. Its surface was decorated with many ancient runes, and it gave everyone who gazed upon it an inexplicable feeling.
Many people had gathered at the bottom of the wheel, watching it with eyes full of greed.
"Why aren't they doing anything?" Li Luo asked when he saw that no one was doing anything. They were simply watching each other with ferocious gazes.
"They do not have enough Spirit Resonance Golden Dew," Li Wuyuan said calmly.
"Each person has to fork out a hundred droplets of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew to activate the Heavenly Dipper Wheel. This is not a small amount for most rogue cultivators."
Li Luo was shocked to hear this. Indeed, a hundred drops of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew was no small amount. Previously, they only needed thirty droplets to activate the Gold Resonant Talisman back at the Golden Dew Platform.
Li Hongli suddenly chimed in. "The Dragon's Blood Lineage, the Dragon's Horn Lineage, and the Dragon's Bone Lineage have only gathered up two hundred droplets. That's only enough for two people. Brother Qingfeng is going to be one of them, so you can forget about us giving anything to you." There was a warning hidden behind her words. With only two slots and Li Qingfeng taking one of them, she was naturally going to be taking the remaining one. There was no way she would give it up to the Dragon's Fang Lineage.
The Pearl Condensation Arts found in the Heavenly Dipper Wheel were perfect for young cultivators like them, who had just entered the Heavenly Pearl Tier. As for those at the higher tiers like Li Wuyuan, Li Fuling, and the rest, they already had Pearl Condensation Arts that they were familiar with, so there was no need for them to spend any more effort on it.
"Who cares!" Li Fengyi replied unhappily.
Li Hongli pouted as she retorted, "Well, are you able to afford a hundred droplets of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew?"
Li Fengyi hesitated. She was not clear about the situation of the other teams. However, her team was still far from the hundred droplets of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew required after spending some of them at the Golden Dew Platform earlier.
Li Jingtao laughed out loud and said, "Let's gather up what we have between us. It should be enough to give Third Brother a chance."
Li Fuling nodded and agreed. "Let's do that, then."
At this point, Li Luo frowned and asked, "A hundred droplets of Spirit Resonance Golden Dew for each slot you say?"
Li Fengyi sighed and answered, "Yes, it's basically daylight robbery."
Li Luo laughed it off and said, "That's not too bad."
Everyone rolled their eyes when they heard his seemingly arrogant comment. However, they immediately saw Li Luo taking out three jade bottles from his pocket sphere, and he throw them to Li Fengyi, Li Jingtao, and Deng Fengxian.
"Come on, everyone in Dragon's Fang Lineage will have a share. One hundred droplets per person, go give it a try," he enunciated clearly.
After he finished speaking, he turned over to Lu Qingmei and asked, "Do you all have enough?"
Lu Qingmei hesitated for a moment before she looked over to Li Guan. The latter replied back with some shame, "We're thirty droplets short."
As such, Li Luo took out another jade bottle and told her, "I'll make up the difference for you all. We walk the same path, and I can't let the Dragon's Scale Lineage get the shorter end of the stick."
Lu Qingmei took the jade bottle and answered with a slight smile, "Thank you for your generosity, Dragon's Head."
When Li Luo finished up over here, the Dragon's Blood Lineage, the Dragon's Bone Lineage, and the Dragon's Scale Lineage fell into silence yet again.
