CHAPTER 138: CHAPTER 138: DRAGON PEARL

He directly took out the remaining half of the Spirit Crystals and gave them to Lan Kui, "No need to save, absorb to your heart’s content, it’s best to reach Mid-stage Foundation Establishment, just in case."

At this moment, Shen Wang also decided not to hold back. If the Array Radar alone could block the enemy, converting these resources into strength as quickly as possible would be most effective.

"Mm, don’t worry, my husband, I will cultivate with all my strength as if my life depended on it."

Lan Kui held the Spirit Crystal tightly, showing a serious expression.

"Don’t be too tense, you’re still carrying a child, so be cautious."

Shen Wang patted Lan Kui’s head, contemplating whether to strengthen the arrays again.

Or perhaps dig a tunnel?

But the tunnel might easily be discovered.

The best outcome would be if Profound Thunder Zhenren was bluffing, then he could hide here for a while longer.

He returned to the secret chamber, seeing the few Spirit Crystals left. Even if Profound Thunder Zhenren didn’t invite an Array Grandmaster, his Spirit Crystals wouldn’t last two years.

On one hand, the external attacks were consuming them; on the other, he and Lan Kui were also consuming resources. He had originally planned to reach Late-stage Foundation Establishment after two years to have some capability to confront Profound Thunder Zhenren, but now there might be some changes.

He began to closely monitor the external situation. Gong Yu had finally shaken off the effects of the Gu Poison and returned to normal.

This time, the Gu Poison’s use was over.

Simultaneously, a system prompt jumped out,

[Master Level Sword Control Technique experience +18, current 73]

[Poison Dao Master experience +412, you have advanced to Poison Dao Grandmaster, current experience 5]

Killing enemies with poison to protect his family and defeating enemies with the Sword Control both earned him rewards, with the Poison Dao gaining the most experience, boosting him directly to Grandmaster Level from the Master Level achieved through his own cultivation.

But at this stage, this enhancement couldn’t solve the problem, so Shen Wang didn’t dwell on it long, earnestly adjusting the array, still feeling it wasn’t enough.

He came to the backyard well, where the Water Spiritual Qi was especially rich, and the well water was infused with Spiritual Qi.

It wasn’t that there was a Spiritual Spring under the well, but when seals were formed, the water surface rippled, and an egg-sized pearl emerged.

The pearl emitted a water-blue radiance, with mysterious golden patterns on it. Under the blue-golden glow, the surrounding Water Attribute Spiritual Qi became even denser.

The Spirit Pearl had become heavier than before. If Shen Wang hadn’t reached Foundation Establishment, he might have found it very difficult to summon it from the water.

Sensing the situation of the Spirit Pearl, Shen Wang still did not know how to use this object. Aside from placing it in the water to absorb Spiritual Qi and creating some water containing Spiritual Power, he had not found any other use for it to date.

Shen Wang watched quietly and decided to combine it with the Weak Water Array. Even if it didn’t significantly boost the array, it should still supply some Water Attribute Spiritual Qi.

With a gesture towards the distance, an Array Flag flew over and was inserted into the well water.

Ripples spread, and though it seemed there was an object standing in the water, the Array Flag stood upright, as if fixed within the water, releasing a circle of radiance that merged with the well water, becoming an important node of the array.

After it stabilized, he introduced the Spirit Pearl into the array, and immediately there was a humming sound as the array’s light shone brightly, greatly increasing its power.

Water-blue brilliance blossomed around the Spirit Pearl, transforming into a several-meter-long Water Dragon. The blue-golden light shimmered, even faint dragon cries could be heard, and the originally flexible array gained a few degrees of ferocity.

"So obvious?"

Shen Wang was startled as he sensed the change in the array, discovering that the power had doubled with the addition of the Spirit Pearl.

He hadn’t taken it out before, mainly because he was afraid of exposing such a treasure.

Even now, he controlled the array’s power, trying not to let it leak out.

Otherwise, it would be even more evident that he possessed this treasure, and at that time, it might not just be Profound Thunder Zhenren seeking to seize it.

"Useful!"

Shen Wang showed a bit more joy, "Even though it’s still uncertain if it can block the enemies, any extra defense is good."

And this was just the initial integration into the array, he felt that further integration could likely enhance the power even more.

Lan Kui, hearing the commotion, suddenly felt a sense of connection, and she jogged out. Seeing the pearl surrounded by the Water Dragon at the wellhead, she felt a sense of longing.

She looked eagerly, walking to Shen Wang’s side, embarrassed to speak, "Husband, can I eat this?"

"Huh?"

Shen Wang was speechless, patting Lan Kui on the forehead, "You silly girl, this isn’t for eating. If you eat it, you’ll have indigestion."

"Oh, but it looks so tasty."

Lan Kui gazed unblinkingly, licking her lips, "Better than the crystals you gave me."

"It should be because its power is purer, don’t associate everything with eating."

Shen Wang gave Lan Kui a helpless glance, "You should focus on absorbing the power from the Spirit Crystals first, and once the danger is over, I’ll let you use it for cultivation."

"Daddy, is this a Dragon Pearl?"

A childish voice came from behind, and their daughter Shen Chuxue, who had grown a bit taller, curiously looked at the pearl.

"Dragon Pearl?"

Hearing his daughter’s words, Shen Wang did not dismiss it as childish nonsense.

He couldn’t help it; his daughter was the reincarnation of an Empress, her knowledge was certainly above his.

If it really was a Dragon Pearl, it was understandable that he had never found a use for it.

After all, Dragon Pearls weren’t human cultivators’ treasures; they were akin to a Golden Core for dragons, definitely not usable by ordinary means.

"Yes, look, there’s a dragon surrounding it; it must be a Dragon Pearl."

Shen Chuxue nodded, deliberately pretending to make an innocent child’s guess.

"Maybe."

Shen Wang neither confirmed nor denied, but he seriously considered it a Dragon Pearl; unfortunately, he still couldn’t figure out how to use it.

"Daddy, Third Aunt is a Dragon Girl; maybe she could use the Dragon Pearl to drive away the bad guys outside."

Shen Chuxue continued, subtly hinting at how Shen Wang could use it.

Shen Wang hesitated a moment, then said, "No rush, your Third Aunt’s cultivation is still a bit low, what if it overburdens her."

He did not dare to let Lan Kui use the Dragon Pearl for now.

After all, this thing belonged to a True Dragon, and a True Dragon was at least comparable to a Golden Core cultivator. Lan Kui was only at the Foundation Establishment stage, what if she couldn’t withstand the Dragon Pearl’s power and her body exploded?

His daughter could recognize it as a Dragon Pearl, but she didn’t know Lan Kui’s specific strength. Until absolutely necessary, Shen Wang was not in a hurry to try.

It would be best to wait until Lan Kui cultivated to Late-stage Foundation Establishment, with sufficient strength to handle it.

"Husband, I should be able to."

Lan Kui said uncertainly.

"Don’t rush, I gave you enough to cultivate with, so focus on enhancing your strength first."

Shen Wang shook his head, then walked over to pick up his daughter, checking her body, surprised, "Xue’Er, you’re already at Second-Layer Qi Cultivation."

"Yes, Xue’Er was going to give you a surprise, Daddy."

Shen Chuxue laughed, "But I saw you were busy, so I didn’t get to tell you before you found out."

"My daughter is truly a genius."

Shen Wang smiled and kissed his daughter, "Keep it up, I’ll send you to a Super Sect for cultivation in the future."

"No, Xue’Er just wants to stay by Daddy’s side."

Shen Chuxue didn’t want to go to the sect; she hadn’t yet fully enjoyed familial love.

"Alright, Xue’Er can go whenever you want."

Shen Wang smiled, knowing that even if his daughter didn’t go to the sect, she could still become powerful.
