254: Jade box interlayer, map jade slip

"This... could this be it?"

Liu Ruoxi's eyes widened and her red lips parted slightly as she spoke in shock.

Could this jade box really contain the canghai pearl?

That's impossible, right?!

How could the canghai pearl be hidden under a stone brick outside the Canghai Palace?

Generally speaking, shouldn't this kind of Heaven And Earth Treasure be hidden in a secret room or a treasury?

"It should be."

Su Yun picked up the jade box and examined it carefully.

He discovered that the material of this jade box was extremely special; when scanned with Divine Sense, there wasn't the slightest leakage of spiritual energy fluctuations, making it seem almost identical to an ordinary stone.

Subsequently, he opened the jade box directly.

At that moment, a dazzling blue light was released from the jade box, enveloping the entire exterior of the Canghai Palace in its glow, followed by an extremely pure surge of spiritual energy.

A moment later, the light in the jade box dissipated, revealing a pale blue transparent bead.

The bead contained countless complex spiritual runes within it, with water ripples shimmering; one could feel the powerful strength contained inside with just a single glance.

At this time, the System's notification sound rang in Su Yun's mind.

[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for plundering Chen Hao's Opportunity, gaining 400,000 Luck Points. Remaining Luck Points: 2,400,000.]

"Finally found it."

Su Yun looked at the canghai pearl in his hand and spoke with some satisfaction.

It wasn't in vain that he had searched every nook and cranny.

"It really is the canghai pearl!"

Liu Ruoxi stared straight at Su Yun with her dark eyes, momentarily lost in thought.

She didn't care about the canghai pearl.

She was now more curious about how Su Yun knew the canghai pearl would be hidden in such a place.

This was just too impressive!

How on earth did Su Yun think of it?

His strength was so formidable, and he was so clever too?

As she thought about it, she couldn't help but become even more curious about Su Yun.

"Miss Liu, why are you staring at me again?

Do you have something you want to say?"

Su Yun noticed that Liu Ruoxi was staring at him blankly again.

No way, right?

Even though he was handsome, Liu Ruoxi shouldn't be staring at him constantly, should she?

"No."

Liu Ruoxi quickly turned her head away.

Dammit!

She had accidentally spaced out while looking at Su Yun again.

But Su Yun was indeed handsome, much more so than the Cultivators who had pursued her before.

And not only was Su Yun handsome, but his strength and talent were also powerful.

Wait!

What was she thinking?

She couldn't let her thoughts wander anymore!

Thinking of this, Liu Ruoxi snapped back to her senses.

"Wait, there seems to be something else inside this jade box."

After observing the canghai pearl for a moment, Su Yun checked the jade box again and found it had a hidden compartment.

He then opened the compartment and discovered there was actually another Jade Slip inside.

"This is?"

Liu Ruoxi looked at the Jade Slip with curiosity.

Could there be something else?

It wouldn't be some kind of Cultivation Technique, would it?

"Let me see!"

Su Yun put away the canghai pearl, picked up the Jade Slip, and channeled spiritual energy into it.

The Jade Slip instantly projected a map.

"Could this be a map of the surrounding area!"

Liu Ruoxi's eyes lit up as she spoke with pleasant surprise.

If they had a map, it would be much easier to explore this Abyssal Sea.

"Presumably so, this is a map of the Small World where the Canghai Palace is located.

However, a thousand years have passed, so this map can probably only be used as a reference."

Su Yun began to examine the map carefully.

He saw the location of the Canghai Palace marked on the map.

The Canghai Palace they were currently in was the main hall.

The location of the hall where he and Liu Ruoxi had been previously was also marked; there were dozens of such halls in total.

They were all branch halls of the Canghai Palace, meant for the residence of Canghai Palace Disciples and deacons.

The map also marked several areas where Heaven And Earth Treasures might exist.

"Miss Liu, what do you think?

Shall we go to those areas to search for Heaven And Earth Treasures?

Those areas likely have Yao Beasts similar to the Giant Scaled Sea Beasts."

Su Yun looked at Liu Ruoxi and asked.

"Of course we should!

We can't come to the Abyssal Sea and return empty-handed!

I'm already prepared; I won't be injured by a sneak attack like before."

After Liu Ruoxi finished speaking, with a wave of her delicate hand, she took out a large pile of trump cards given to her by her Revered Master and the Jade Pool Holy Land Elders from her Storage Ring: jade pendants, necklaces, and jade talismans.

These trump cards were all attack-type items that could be activated by channeling spiritual energy, and they all emitted a heart-palpitating aura.

She planned to carry these trump cards with her and activate them whenever she encountered a Yao Beast she couldn't handle.

As long as the enemy was resolved, what need was there for defense?

And while she was changing clothes earlier, she had also put on several top grade or super-grade spirit artifact protective gear.

She had never used those spirit artifact protectors before.

So they had been tossed in her Storage Ring and never taken out.

Having suffered a loss once, she could no longer be as careless as before.

After all, this Abyssal Sea was extremely dangerous.

The previous Giant Scaled Sea Beast was at the Out-of-Body Fourth Layer Realm, and other Yao Beasts likely had Soul Emergence Realm strength as well, so one must be cautious.

"Miss Liu actually has so many trump cards and top grade spirit tools?

And several are super-grade spirit artifacts?"

Su Yun said with a meaningful tone.

Liu Ruoxi had probably been dazed by the Out-of-Body Fourth Layer Realm Giant Scaled Beast King earlier, so she no longer planned to hide her identity.

Where would an ordinary Cultivation Family Cultivator from the Central Domain get so many treasures?

"Young Master Su, I am the number one Genius of the Liu Family, so I have a few more treasures."

Only then did Liu Ruoxi realize she was still hiding her identity.

She now wanted to avoid exposing her identity even more.

Especially in front of Su Yun.

She didn't know why either.

"Then let's just say that's the case!"

Su Yun almost burst out laughing.

If the Liu Family Liu Ruoxi spoke of could really produce so many trump cards,

They would have long been one of the strongest Cultivation Families in the Central Domain.

They wouldn't be obscure and unknown.

"Let's go, we'll head to this Bishui Forest first."

Su Yun said, pointing to an area marked on the map.

On this map, the area where the Bishui Forest was located was closest to them, and there might be quite a few Heaven And Earth Treasures there.

"Okay, let's go there!"

Liu Ruoxi nodded.

Subsequently, Su Yun and Liu Ruoxi turned into two streaks of light and left the vicinity of the Canghai Palace.

The outer perimeter of the Canghai Palace also had an invisible Spiritual Energy Barrier blocking the surrounding Abyssal Sea water.

So as soon as they left the barrier's area, the surrounding Abyssal Sea water immediately surrounded the two of them.

"Miss Liu, can you still withstand it?"

Su Yun looked at Liu Ruoxi and asked.

"No problem."

Liu Ruoxi discovered with some surprise that her Physical Body seemed to have become quite a bit stronger again, so resisting the water pressure had become much easier.

Now she only needed to release an ordinary Spiritual Energy Barrier to withstand the powerful water pressure, and she would no longer need to consume a large amount of spiritual energy to resist it like before.

"Then let's go."

Su Yun nodded and said.

He noticed that Liu Ruoxi's strength was a bit stronger than before.

But this wasn't surprising.

After all, Liu Ruoxi was the female protagonist and possessed the powerful Immaculate Sacred Body.

So it was quite normal for her strength to increase a bit faster.
