Chapter 320: Chapter 266: External Qi Blood Pearl

"No worries."

Chu Ming’s eyes locked onto the Black Bead, as Qi Rhythm White Light enveloped it from all directions.

The moment he laid hands on the Black Bead, he almost fell for it, an uncontrollable urge to devour everything arose within him.

But in just an instant, the Qi Rhythm White Light purified this impulse.

Immediately after, he attempted to control the Qi Rhythm White Light to envelop the Black Bead, to see if he could purify the black energy inside the bead.

Jiang Zhan and Meng Zhen couldn’t see the Qi Rhythm White Light, they only saw Chu Ming standing there, quietly focusing on the Black Bead.

"Huh? How come the Black Bead..."

But as they continued to observe, both realized something was amiss.

"The Black Bead is turning white!" Jiang Zhan exclaimed with surprise.

"It really is turning white!"

"..."

The two watched in astonishment until the Black Bead completely transformed into a White Bead.

Chu Ming withdrew the Qi Rhythm White Light, a hint of delight appearing between his brows.

As the Qi Rhythm White Light purified the black energy, he sensed the dense Qi and Blood Power contained within the Black Bead.

"Could it be the Qi and Blood Power of those Meridian Unlocking Realm masters that Baili Xinghua devoured, are all within it?"

With this thought in mind, he attempted to communicate with the Qi Blood.

Buzz——

Suddenly, the White Bead connected with his Heart Spirit, confirming the use of the Black Bead—to devour and store Qi and Blood Power.

However, devouring Qi and Blood Power was the Black Bead’s purpose; the White Bead, purified by Qi Rhythm White Light, did not serve this function anymore.

Black energy devours, bead body stores.

The Black Bead not only devours others’ Qi Blood, but also consumes the user’s vitality.

Now that the black energy is gone, the White Bead’s use remains storage.

It seems not very useful, but to Chu Ming, the White Bead is far more useful than the Black Bead.

The White Bead contains Qi and Blood Power, which equates to Qi Blood outside the body!

During combat, when his own Qi Blood is exhausted, he can instantly replenish with the White Bead.

In other words, Chu Ming can use his own Qi Blood to nurture the White Bead daily, then, when facing strong enemies, burn all the Qi and Blood Power within his body without worry.

He hasn’t tested how powerful burning all Qi Blood can be.

Moreover, he thought of another use for the White Bead.

"Use Qi Blood to impact the Golden Fragments!"

He walked to Huan Ming’s corpse, the Sect Leader of Void Nether Sect, and after a bit of searching, extracted a piece of Golden Fragment from him.

Upon sensing, the degree to which this Golden Fragment was nurtured with Qi and Blood Power was higher than the two fragments he obtained from the Teng Sect and An Hengying.

Blood trickled from his fingertips, infused with his own Qi Blood Power.

Boom——

The fourth Golden Fragment successfully connected with his Heart Spirit.

Although called the fourth fragment, he still had not established a Heart Spirit connection with the first Golden Fragment, the one obtained from Jiaang Jing.

The other use Chu Ming thought of for the White Bead was preparing to use the Qi and Blood Power contained within the bead to impact the first Golden Fragment.

However, for now, it’s just a concept that can’t be executed here.

While he pondered, the Golden Fragment successfully fused with the previous two, expanding the World in the Palm to a height and width of three zhang.

"Chu Royal Attendant, are you alright?" Meng Zhen’s heart grew anxious as Chu Ming remained motionless.

"Senior Brother Chu?" Jiang Zhan, not joining in searching for spoils, also looked at Chu Ming worriedly.

"I’m fine," Chu Ming waved the White Bead, "This bead is quite peculiar, I was a bit absorbed in it, why don’t you search for anything else there might be?"

Jiang Zhan and Meng Zhen sighed in relief.

"Then I won’t hold back."

Jiang Zhan and Meng Zhen, assured Chu Ming was fine, began searching the bodies of Huan Ming, the Sect Leader of Void Nether Sect, and Baili Xinghua.

After a round of searching, the two brought out cultivation techniques, gold and silver, elixirs, and Identity Tokens.

"Void Nether Black Hidden Skill..."

Chu Ming quickly leafed through the Void Nether Sect’s cultivation technique.

The Void Nether Sect’s cultivation technique was very challenging to cultivate, but there were great benefits to cultivating to the Meridian Unlocking Realm.

"Thick Qi and Blood Power by thirty percent..."

It couldn’t compare to his "Mountain and Sea Primordial Body Technique," but among all the cultivation techniques he obtained, it was one of the rare High-tier Techniques.

In no time, the entire "Void Nether Black Hidden Skill" transformed into fragments, hovering over the Sea of Consciousness Technique Lake.

The fragments gathered and fell into the lake.

In the center of the lake, around twelve small islands, the fourth whirlpool fully formed and the fifth whirlpool took shape.

"Mountain and Sea Primordial Body Technique" has deduced to the Lower Meridian Unlocking Realm, Fifth Meridian.

Gains, not bad.

"Commander Jiang, Ten Thousand Soldiers Commander Meng, you can divide these things among yourselves."

"Really?"

"Really."

"By the way, the thirty people who claimed to be the caravan from Zhenlang Pavilion in Lindu County, had been devoured by Baili Xinghua earlier."

"And their jewels...?"

Jiang Zhan’s eyes sparkled.

"Let’s go, take a look," Chu Ming said with a smile.

"Let’s go, go."

The three mounted up and headed back.

When they had backtracked around several hundred meters, Jiang Zhan and Meng Zhen saw the empty caravan, with thirty dried corpses on the ground, including the one who claimed to be Zhu Hong in the Refining Organ Realm.

"Let’s see what treasures there are."

Jiang Zhan leapt off his horse and began searching the bodies of several Refining Organ Realm cultivators.

Meng Zhen went to check the goods on the carriage.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the two completed their tally.

"Chu Royal Attendant, mainly some pearls and jade treasures, quite valuable," Meng Zhen said, presenting a jade box, "This item is somewhat special."

Looking down, he saw a thin red leaf inside the jade box, resembling the shape of a bamboo leaf but its color was deep red.

"Crimson Beauty Leaf from Jingyue Kingdom," Jiang Zhan approached with several bottles of collected elixirs, "Judging by the pattern, it must have grown on a millennia-old Crimson Beauty Bamboo."

"This is a good thing, it’s said that wearing it over a long period has the effect of longevity and preserving one’s appearance."

Chu Ming nodded slightly.

Crimson Beauty Leaf is indeed a treasure, prolonging life and maintaining youth, commonly made into jewelry, and popular among women, hence its name, Crimson Beauty Leaf.
