Chapter 61: The Story Behind Yun Ling's Fall

  The exhibition finally began, hosted by Lin Lao, the chief appraiser of Tianqi Business Firm. At the same time, nine famous appraisers from Jinshui Domain were also present on site. The place where the spiritual treasure was displayed was a cylindrical pillar over one meter high, with sixteen arrays on top and bottom. It's unknown which mechanism Lin Lao activated, but the sixteen arrays on the pillar began to flash, followed by a burst of light, and a spiritual treasure appeared, slowly rising and floating in mid-air, rotating slowly for people to appraise and appreciate.

  Lin Lao is indeed the chief appraiser of Tianqi Merchant House, and he can explain in detail the quality, mystery, and stories behind each spiritual treasure. As time passed, the spiritual treasures on display at Tianqi Pavilion were endless, opening people's eyes while also astonishing them with Tianqi Pavilion's wealth. Especially when Lin Lao displayed the Ten Yan Pendant, it caused a shock throughout the audience. This was a work by Qi Mu Da Shi, a master of alchemy from a thousand years ago. The Ten Yan Pendant had pioneered the concept of counterattack in defensive spiritual treasures. Although it may not be the most perfect defensive treasure or the strongest counterattacking treasure, its significance is extraordinary, and its value cannot be estimated.

  "What a shocking and amazing thing the boss of Tianqi Pavilion has done!" Yu Hua exclaimed, her expression full of admiration. The value of the Lingbao that created the precedent was simply unimaginable, and it was unknown how the boss of Tianqi Pavilion had obtained it, which made people admire him with all their might. Next to her, Xue Xiangyun and Luo Ying nodded in agreement, they were all knowledgeable people, naturally knowing the value of Shiyan Pei.

  "What is about to be exhibited is a spiritual treasure refined by Xuan Gu, the representative figure of the Refining Realm's Soul System."

  As Lin Lao's words fell, everyone in the venue held their breath, because they all knew that the Soul-realm Spiritual Treasure was recognized as the most difficult to refine, let alone the one about to be exhibited was the representative figure of the Soul-realm, Xuan Gu Da Shi, how could this not excite people.

  "Master Xuan Gu spent his entire life refining only five Soul Treasures, I wonder if you all know which five they are?" Lin Old seemed to have sold another suspense.

  "Green mist brocade, Taiyi jade belt, golden cicada clothes, cloud spirit jade soul pendant, purple xuan bracelet." The one who said this was the famous appraiser Wei Lao from the capital, he smiled and said: "I don't know if old man's answer is correct?"

  "Haha, indeed worthy of Old Wei, impressive! Does Old Wei know which one of these five Soul Treasures has the greatest value and contains the most beneficial mysteries for the soul?" Lin asked again.

  Wei Lao stroked his white beard and smiled, saying: "As for which of the five treasures of the soul is the greatest, I don't know. However, if we're talking about which one has the most beneficial mystical properties for the soul, it would be the Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant. It's said that Master Xuan Gu refined it using twenty-eight kinds of cloud spirit crystals, and it contains the mystical properties of the cloud spirit. This mystique has the effect of nourishing the soul. I don't know if my answer is correct or not?"

  "Haha, impressive!"

  "Hah, Old Lin, don't try to keep us in suspense any longer. Which of the Xuan Gu Master's treasured artifacts is being exhibited today?"

  "Old Wei, you just said it a moment ago, how could you forget?"

  "Say it out loud?" Wei Lao's expression changed suddenly, and he blurted out: "You're saying... that the exhibit is actually the Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant?" Seeing Lin Lao nodding, everyone in the room took a deep breath, calming down the shock and excitement in their hearts.

  As the array flashed, a seemingly ordinary pendant floated up and slowly rotated. The several appraisers in the Golden Water Domain immediately examined it, their faces growing more astonished as they looked. Especially Wei Lao, whose old face was filled with an excited flush, exclaimed: "Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant, it's actually Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant! Who would have thought that this old man could see such a divine treasure in his lifetime? It's truly worth dying for!" The surrounding crowd was also extremely agitated.

  Cloud spirit jade soul falls!

  This is absolutely a treasure, to know that the treasures of the soul are rare in the world, and those with nourishing effects are even fewer. This Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant is one of the representatives, and several famous appraisers from the Golden Water Domain have been so excited, let alone others. Even the most calm and composed person cannot remain calm at this moment.

  "The soul is a person's origin, mysterious and unknown. If there is such a thing as the 'Cloud Spirit Jade Soul' that can nourish the soul, then whether it's achieving great things as a wizard or an array master, it's all within reach!"

  Yu Huafei was also excited, and Xue Yawen, Luo Ying and others were the same. Especially for Xiao Luotian's Murong Huan, Ding Zixuan and others, they had been nourished by Yun Linger in Xiaofeng Spirit Realm, their souls had been strengthened, and they had a deep understanding of the effects of Yunling Xuan. If they wore Yunling Yuanshen Pendant for many years, wouldn't their souls be much stronger than others?

  "I wonder if Tianqi Pavilion sells it or not." A murmured sigh of yearning from Luoying.

  "Can't afford it, within the Golden Water Domain, not a single person can afford this Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant." Yuexing Fei also wanted to buy it, but he was even more aware of the great value of the Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant, and was afraid that it would exceed his imagination.

  Everyone was excited, except for a few people. Mu Hao, Ding Zixuan, Ye Qing, Bai Jian and Wan Liqun's faces did not show shock or excitement, but only dense suspicion and uncertainty, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

  Yes! It's unbelievable, especially for Ye Qing, as she found this unparalleled Cloud Spirit Jade Pendant to be very familiar. It looked just like the pendant Chen Luo gave her a few years ago. No! It wasn't just similar - she even suspected it was the same one, because on top of it... there were actually the characters Chen Luo had carved himself.

  Is this possible?

  No! Absolutely impossible!

  It must be a coincidence, it must be!

  Yuhua Fei and Xue Yaru and others seemed to have noticed that the expressions of these five people were not quite right, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with you? Why do your faces look so strange?"

  Ding Zixuan stared with his eyes wide open, carefully staring at Yunling Yuhun's pendant, occasionally glancing at Ye Qing and then back at Yunling Yuhun's pendant.

  "Leaf, Leaf Qing!" The white sword next to him had a distorted expression and stuttered when speaking: "This Cloud Spirit Jade Pendant, how is it exactly the same as the one Chen Luo gave you?"

  "It looks like it a bit too!" Wan Liqun also nodded woodenly.

  Ding Zixuan also turned around as if seeking confirmation from Ye Qing again.

  Looking at this scene, Yu Hua Fei and Xue Yi Wen, Luo Ying, etc. were all momentarily stunned, what does it mean? What's with the pendant that looks exactly like the one Chen Luo gave her?

  "No! Absolutely impossible!" Ye Qing shook his head vigorously, his face looking extremely unpleasant.

  "How can it be impossible? I think it looks very similar, have you forgotten? In the past when you pursued Chen Luo, you sent Ling Dan and food, Chen Luo gave you a pendant to politely decline your pursuit, with words carved on it that I remember clearly were 'the fallen flowers have intention, but the flowing water has no feeling'. During the days when Chen Luo was imprisoned, didn't you auction off this pendant at the academy? At that time, I also bought it and played with it for a few days, the words on it are almost identical to the words on this Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant."

  Perhaps he was too shocked, so Bai Jian's thinking was a bit distorted, and his words were not smooth. After finishing speaking, he also pushed Wan Liqun beside him and said: "Wan Liqun, you have also bought this pendant from me, and it seems that you played with it for many days. Don't you think that the pendant is very similar to Yun Ling Yu Hun Pendant?"

  Wan Liqun nodded vigorously, just as Bai Jian said, he indeed bought it to play with for a few days, although later he resold it, but the quality of the pendant and the words on it were clearly remembered, exactly the same as this Yun Ling Yu Hun Pendant!

  "Ding Zixuan, I remember that not long after Chen fell into prison, Ye Qing gave you this pendant. You seemed to have played with it for a few days too? Is it exactly the same as Yunling Yuhun Pendant?" asked Bai Jian, poking his head out in inquiry.

  Ding Zixuan did not respond, because he really didn't know how to respond. He had played with that pendant before and seen the words on it, and felt that it was exactly the same as this Yunling Yuhun Pendant. He even suspected that it might be the same one, but how could he believe that? How could he accept it?

  However, when Bai Jian's words reached the ears of Yu Hua Fei and others, the expressions of the three were even more bizarre. Could it be that Chen Luo had given her a Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant to reject Ye Qing's pursuit? This is a Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant! Only an idiot would give it away.

  Is it possible?

  No!

  Absolutely impossible!

  Yu didn't believe it, Xue didn't believe it, Luo didn't believe it, Mu Huang, Ding Zixuan, Bai Jian, and Wan Liqun didn't believe it either. Ye Qing herself was even more unbelievable, shaking her head nonstop and muttering that it was impossible.

  Maybe it's just a coincidence.

  Everyone thinks so.

  Everyone in the hall was immersed in excitement and did not know what happened here. Wei Lao and others carefully appreciated Yun Ling Yu Hun, and when they saw the eight characters on it, they doubted: "These eight characters seem to be carved later, and should not be from Master Xuan Gu's hand. Does Lin Lao know the meaning behind these words?"

  "Oh, you're talking about the eight characters 'falling flowers have intention, flowing water has no feeling'? Hehe, indeed it's not from the hand of Master Xuan Gu. Lin Lao smiled calmly and explained: "Actually when I saw this Cloud Spirit Jade Pendant, I had the same doubts as you all, thinking it was a romantic affair of Master Xuan Gu. Later I asked our boss and found out it wasn't."

  "What's going on? Tell me."

  "Hehe, this thing is also quite funny. According to our boss, the previous owner of the Yunling Yuhun Pendant carved these eight characters in order to reject a woman's love, and then gave it to that woman."

  "Refusing a woman's affection, is it to send Yun Ling Yu Hun down the gentle slope of rejection? Good heavens, who has such audacity? I wonder if Old Lin can reveal the identity of the previous owner of Yun Ling Yu Hun?"

  "This is not that I, the old man, do not want to say, but it is actually that I also do not know." Lin Lao indeed spoke the truth, he had inquired about the origin of Yun Ling Yu's fall with Wei Tian Long, but Wei Tian Long only smiled and did not speak.

  Mr. Lin smiled and said, "Don't ask anymore, I really don't know, but the story behind these eight characters is quite interesting. It's said that a woman fell in love with a man and sent him elixirs every day, showing her affection three times five times, but the man didn't feel anything for her. So he carved eight characters on a pendant to politely decline her, haha... Later, it seemed that the man had an accident and fell into bad luck. As a result, the woman ruthlessly broke off their relationship and threw the pendant at him, warning him not to say he knew her in the future."

  "Women are really too hateful, how can they be so ruthless? When they see someone is doing well, they pursue them, but when they see someone has fallen on hard times, they immediately cut off the relationship. This woman is really shameless, greedy for vanity and utterly despicable."

  "Does that woman know that pendant is a Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant?"

  "I believe she has no idea, if she knew, with her character, how could she still return it to the man? Hehe... Heaven is fair, if the woman knew that the pendant the man gave her was the priceless Cloud Spirit Jade Soul Pendant, I wonder if she would go crazy directly."
