So it turned out that not only had this fellow been making hand gestures all night, but he had also been observing her the whole time, and he finally discovered her secret. Han Yan had to admit she was somewhat impressed by the strength of Ling Baobao’s spiritual power, a skill of multitasking that she herself did not possess.
"If you want to take a look, go ahead, it’s just a necklace," said Han Yan, now that her secret had been revealed, she couldn’t be bothered to keep hiding it and tossed the Star Plate to Ling Baobao. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ n̷o̷v̷e̷l̷f̷i̷r̷e̷.net
She had transformed the Star Plate into a pendant after shrinking it, making it look completely different from its original appearance. She wasn’t worried that Ling Baobao would be able to realize anything.
"Daoxin Stone! How could you have a Daoxin Stone?" To her surprise, Ling Baobao jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, exclaiming loudly as he caught the necklace.
"What, you call this a Daoxin Stone?" Han Yan was even more amazed. Over the past six months, she had turned the Mu Family’s library upside down. Every time she passed by a market, she would buy a few miscellaneous ancient books, yet she had never been able to find out the ultimate origin of the Star Plate—what material it was made of. She had never expected Ling Baobao to recognize it at a glance.
However, she had never heard of what a Daoxin Stone was.
"No, it’s not a Daoxin Stone. It looks similar, but it definitely isn’t one. I was mistaken," Ling Baobao said as he sat back down, shaking his head.
"What is a Daoxin Stone?" Eager to know after a false alarm, Han Yan pressed further.
"The Daoxin Stone contains the essence of the Heaven and Earth Dao, the Law of all things, and it also holds an extremely powerful force. If one obtains the Daoxin Stone, they may contemplate the Heaven and Earth Dao and possess myriad Divine Skills, even surpassing the heavens and earth to become the strongest cultivator in the world," Ling Baobao said, his face full of longing.
"Are you talking about a myth?" Han Yan looked at Ling Baobao, wanting to touch his forehead to see if he had a fever.
What myriad Divine Skills surpassing the heavens and earth—if not a myth, then what?
"Hmm, consider it a myth," Ling Baobao said after a pause, not arguing any further, speaking leisurely.
"Although this is not a Daoxin Stone, it must be something similar. It contains some of the utmost truths of the universe, and that’s why it reacted to my hand gestures. Take good care of it, and make sure you don’t let anyone else know," Ling Baobao said as he handed the necklace back to Han Yan, his expression more serious than ever before.
The words of Ling Baobao reminded Han Yan of some things. Previously, she had always believed that the various peculiarities of the Star Plate were due to the existence of a residual soul from the Star Illusion Qianji. However, this time, even though the Star Illusion Qianji was still in deep sleep, the Star Plate continued to exhibit anomalies.
Clearly, the Star Plate itself was also a rare strange treasure. Han Yan even thought that perhaps it wasn’t the Star Illusion Qianji that made the Star Plate what it was, but rather the Star Plate that had helped the Star Illusion Qianji.
It seemed, when she had the time, she would have to properly study this Star Plate.
"Is everything you just said true?" Seeing his unusually serious expression, Han Yan couldn’t help but ask.
"Even if I say it’s true, you may not believe it, unless one day you cultivate to that realm and find out for yourself whether I’m telling the truth or lies," Ling Baobao said cryptically, his manner very god-man-like, which made Han Yan feel a sense of familiarity.
No wonder those people believed his words, even willing to dissipate their fortunes. This guy had some skills playing the god-man.
If Ling Baobao knew what Han Yan was thinking, he would surely say with pride, nonsense, who else could his Master be?
