She felt that this world was becoming more and more fantastical!
After a long while, An Yiqing finally fully digested the shock brought by Old Jin and fully accepted the presence of two talking cats and dogs by her side.
She deeply felt that even if one day, Earth turned out to be square, she might not find it so hard to accept...
Having dealt with Old Jin’s matter, An Yiqing then took out the Jade Spirit from the Spirit Spring.
Sure enough! Compared to the time at the Jade Stone Association, this Jade Spirit had grown by two whole sizes!
During the last assault on the An Family, An Yiqing did not believe that the Jade Spirit was the legendary treasure. Perhaps, the other party was unaware, mistaking the Jade Spirit as the target. In fact, Old Jin was the real treasure, it’s just that no one knew that yet.
Well, mistakes have their advantages. She was the only person in the whole world who knew, so the people around her wouldn’t be in danger.
As for this Jade Spirit...
"The Jade Spirit can improve one’s cultivation level!"
With a single sentence, Old Jin interrupted An Yiqing’s train of thought.
"Improve cultivation level?" she eyed the crystal-clear Jade Spirit in her hand with puzzlement.
"Jade Spirits come in eight colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, purple, and transparent. Among them, the transparent Jade Spirits have the weakest energy, while the purple ones have the strongest. To ordinary people, these Jade Spirits can only extend life and cure diseases, but to Ancient Martial Artists and Martial Cultivators, as well as those foreign... Vampires, they are excellent for cultivation. However, this transparent Jade Spirit you have only contains a little energy, and is only suitable for beginner Ancient Martial Artists. If you want to progress further at your level, you’ll need at least a green Jade Spirit or higher," Old Jin explained with an eye roll.
"If that’s the case, why have I never heard anyone mention this before?"
"Hmph! The Martial Cultivation World has fallen on hard times! Other than the ancestors of the Ancient Martial Arts Families, hardly anyone knows about it! Moreover, in this day and age, the Jade Spirits are only things of legend, barely seen by anyone, not to mention absorbing their energy. Humans are like that, always disbelieving in things they haven’t encountered themselves."
An Yiqing looked down thoughtfully. If Old Jin was right, then the Jade Spirit truly was an excellent item for improving one’s cultivation level. However... The higher the grade of the Jade Spirit, the harder it was to find. Just possessing one transparent Jade Spirit had caused a stir in the Jade Stone circle, let alone a purple Jade Spirit.
Yet, upon reflection, An Yiqing considered that even if the Jade Spirit could enhance her cultivation, it was still just a supplement. Her true strength had to come from her own efforts.
This transparent Jade Spirit did provide An Yiqing with a great opportunity. She had planned to create "Condense Spirit" to allow all of the An family to practice martial arts, but given their ages, progress would be slow. This Jade Spirit could perfectly make up for that deficiency.
An Yiqing smiled faintly; it was like wanting to sleep and being handed a pillow. She really didn’t know whether to count herself lucky or unlucky!
When the An family members saw An Yiqing again, alongside her, apart from the familiar Xiao Hei, there was also the languid Old Jin.
"Oh, my darling granddaughter! Where have you been? Grandma has missed you to death!" Old Lady An was the first to react. She slapped her thigh and held An Yiqing tightly, alternating between calling her ’my darling’ and ’my treasure’, which softened An Yiqing’s heart completely.
"Grandma, I’m sorry. I made you worry. I’ve been in seclusion these past few days and didn’t get the chance to inform you," An Yiqing allowed Old Lady An to hold her and apologized to the An family members with a face full of regret.
