Chapter 588: Tears of the Merfolk Beneath Jingluo Lake (Part 13)
Always calm, even Lian Xichen couldn’t help but widen his eyes and exclaimed, "What did you say?"
Han Jing nodded with certainty and repeated, "In Ting Luo’s dream, I saw someone who looked exactly like you, so I’m sure the answer we’re looking for is in these bubbles. Only by piecing together her dream completely can we find the answer we want. Even if we can’t, we can at least understand why Ting Luo fell asleep in the first place, which might help us awaken her. What do you think?"
Lian Xichen was silent for a moment, then nodded, "You make a good point. Waiting like this won’t help, so you stay here, and I’ll do the popping."
Han Jing nodded briskly, "Okay."
It was supposed to be his job to do the popping anyway; she didn’t want to pop a single one. If the man in Ting Luo’s dream really had something to do with him, she reckoned popping all the bubbles wouldn’t help.
Lian Xichen... Could you at least be polite?
In his recent dream, he only felt Ting Luo’s despair standing at the edge of Jingluo Lake, which inexplicably pained him. He thought it was just the nature of the dream and didn’t think too much of it. But what Jing’er said... could it be true?
Lian Xichen reached out, just about to pop one of the bubbles when he suddenly paused as a voice entered his ear, "Absorb the bubbles into the Illusion Jade."
Lian Xichen’s body stiffened, a shadow flickered beside him, and suddenly there was a piece of jade in his hand. Fortunately, his sleeve was wide enough to hide it.
Then a few more command words flowed into his ears.
Han Jing was concentrating on the bubbles and didn’t notice Lian Xichen’s actions. She turned her head and found he hadn’t moved, and curiously asked, "Brother, what’s wrong with you? Why aren’t you... popping?"
Lian Xichen twitched his lips and raised his hand to show the jade piece in his palm, "I suddenly remembered that my master once told me that artificially woven dreams, as long as they’re received into the Illusion Jade, can completely reconstruct the dream scene. That way, we won’t have to enter each dream to connect them."
Han Jing stared speechlessly at him for a moment, "Why didn’t you take it out earlier..."
Lian Xichen cleared his throat, "I just forgot. Alright, wait a moment."
Lian Xichen sent a flash of purple light into the Illusion Jade and began reciting the command words. Soon, all the bubbles floating above the pool were absorbed into the Illusion Jade until they were all collected.
Lian Xichen threw out the Illusion Jade and then shattered it. Suddenly, a flash of bright golden light exploded in the air, and within the golden light, an illusion quickly appeared.
Han Jing’s eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at the scene that unfolded, exclaiming, "Oh my God, there’s such a magical thing! Why would you break it!"
Lian Xichen replied, "Such Treasures can only be used once, but they’re extremely troublesome to refine, as well as very precious and rare."
In the Spirit Cultivation Realm, besides weapons, there are various functional Treasures, which are categorized based on their purpose. Space Artifacts are also a kind of functional Treasure. The value of these functional Treasures far exceeds that of weapons of the same grade, though many of them can only be used once.
If not for the fact that the senior brother is an Artifact Refiner, each of these Treasures would be a rare gem, a treasure of the sect, and couldn’t be used so casually...
