Li Qing’s eyes lit up when he heard the stall owner’s words, “Oh? I wonder where you’ve seen this kind of pearl before?”

The stall owner pondered for a long time before he immediately slapped his forehead and said, “I remember that a mysterious person was also inquiring about the whereabouts of this kind of pearl a while ago. However, he did not directly take out a physical object, but a portrait. It is almost identical to the one in your hand, and I wonder if it is the same thing.”

“Is there someone else looking?” Li Qing’s gaze narrowed. It seemed that someone had discovered the origin of the Divine Evolution Pearl and knew that it had appeared in the Northern Radiance Ruins.

Li Qing took out a few spirit stones and handed them to the stall owner, “If you see something like this in the future, please let me know.”

When the stall owner saw that there were spirit stones available, his eyes immediately lit up and he nodded repeatedly, “Alright, I will definitely inform you when the time comes.”

In the following period of time, Li Qing finished shopping around the entire market. Almost every stall would ask about it, but he couldn’t find any traces of the Spirit Evolution Pearl.

From the mouths of many stall owners, one could tell that there was indeed a mysterious person who had been searching for the Divine Evolution Pearl some time ago.

What was certain was that this kind of pearl had appeared in the Northern Radiance Ruins. A few people had seen it with their own eyes. Unfortunately, they did not recognize the goods, so they missed the treasure.

“Sure enough, I didn’t find the Divine Evolution Pearl in this market. It seems like my luck can’t be so good all the time.” Li Qing was somewhat disappointed.

“Then what should we do next?” Liu Ke’er said.

“I have no choice but to search the ruins. However, the chances are very slim, like looking for a needle in a haystack.”

“It’s impossible to search aimlessly, right?” Wen Xiao said first.

Li Qing pondered for a moment and said, “If we can’t find it for half a year, let’s leave here and head to the capital of Great Zhou. At that time, it should be almost time to hold the World Martial Arts Gathering. We should be able to catch up.”

The World Martial Arts Gathering was to be held in a year’s time. He did not want to miss this grand gathering because of this.

“Let’s do this.” Wen Xiao nodded first.

“In the end, the ruins are still too dangerous. Do you want to stay outside and wait for me, or do you want to go in with me?” Li Qing asked.

“Of course we’re going in together. We’re all coming to Beimang Mountain together. How can we wait outside? Otherwise, wouldn’t it be better if I just stay in Jizhou City and wait for you to come back?” Liu Ke’er decisively shook his head.

“Alright, let’s go in and take a look at the situation first. Anyway, we won’t immediately enter a dangerous area for the time being.” Li Qing did not force it.

Although Liu Ke’er and Wen Xiao’xian were at the eighth level of the Xiantian realm, they weren’t enough at the Void Realm. There was very little they could do to help. On the contrary, they had to be distracted from protecting them when they entered the ruins.

However, Li Qing wasn’t worried that they would drag them down. In any case, he had a Yin-yang Chaos Bottle. If he encountered an irresistible danger, he could just put them in Yin-yang Chaos Bottle.

It had to be said that it was convenient to have a Heavenly Dao Artifact like Yin-yang Chaos Bottle. In particular, there was a Chaos Spirit Lake inside. It was extremely rich in spiritual energy, much better than the environment outside. Of course, the disadvantage was that it was somewhat boring.

They left the market and entered the Northern Light Ruins. Because this Beimang Mountain was too big, most of it could only be considered an outskirts.

As for the particularly dangerous inner circle and core areas, they had already understood the specific situation and would not easily step into it.

In fact, after so many years of excavation, there was nothing good left in the outer region of Beimang Mountain. If you really wanted to gain anything, you could only go deeper.

With Li Qing’s strength, there was naturally no need for him to be so cautious in the periphery. No matter what dangers arose, he would be killed instantly.

Along the way, there seemed to be a lot of robbers. Li Qing had encountered three waves of troops blocking his way, so he naturally easily dealt with them. Carefully counting the harvests of these people, they were all tattered things that had no value.

They stayed outside the ruins for three days, but they didn’t find any trace of the Divine Evolution Pearl, so they temporarily returned to the bazaar to rest.

“Brother, do you have the whereabouts of those beads?” Li Qing asked the stall owner again.

“No.” All of them shook their heads.

After asking the entire market, the result was still disappointing. Li Qing felt a little helpless in his heart. He didn’t have much choice but to waste his time searching for a needle in a haystack like this.

Right at this moment, a voice came from behind him, “Brother, please wait!”

Li Qing turned around and saw a Xiantian Tenth Stage expert with an unfamiliar expression. He couldn’t help but ask, “What’s the matter with you?”

“Are you looking for these beads?” The man took out a piece of paper, and it was precisely the Divine Evolution Pearl that was drawn on it.

Li Qing’s eyes lit up, “That’s right, it’s this thing!”

“Follow me!” Without saying anything else, he turned around and left.

“Could it be a trap?” Liu Ke’er said.

“If it’s really a trap, wouldn’t that be even better?” The corner of Li Qing’s mouth curled into an inexplicable smile.

After following the mysterious man for dozens of miles, he finally stopped at a desolate mountain range.

“Why did you bring us here?” Li Qing frowned.

“How dare you follow me to this place? Aren’t you afraid that I will harm you?” The man turned his head and said with a smile.

“I’m at least a Xiantian tenth layer expert. Do I need to be afraid of your plot?” Li Qing snorted coldly.

“Hehe, is Xiantian Tenth Layer very powerful? In such a prosperous place in the Central Region, Xiantian Tenth Layer is simply not ranked. Don’t you think too highly of yourself? Such carelessness will cost your life!”

Suddenly, a group of martial artists appeared around the barren mountain. One of them was a Void Realm expert!

They laughed loudly and looked at the people in the middle with a mocking expression. Especially when she saw Liu Ke’er, even though her delicate figure covered her face, it still made people imagine.

Li Qing’s expression changed, “What do you mean?”

“Hand over the Divine Evolution Pearl in your hand. Perhaps I can spare your life!” The Void Realm expert said coldly.

“What Spirit Evolution Pearl? I don’t quite understand what you mean. I don’t even have this thing in my hand!” Li Qing shook his head.

“Are you still pretending? See who this person is?” The Void Realm expert sneered.

Another figure walked out of the crowd. Li Qing saw that it was actually the stall owner he had seen in the Ancient Street of Jizhou City.

It was from this vendor’s hand that Li Qing found a God Evolution Pearl.

Seeing this person appear, Li Qing quickly understood. This stall owner must have leaked the secret, and he didn’t know how to hook up with this Void Realm expert.

Li Qing came to Beimang Mountain. He had been inquiring about the whereabouts of the Divine Evolution Pearl for the past few days. He did not conceal his purpose. Naturally, this group of people heard the wind, which led him to this place.

After all, the stall owner knew that Li Qing had a God Evolution Pearl in his hand.

“Long time no see, my friend. You used despicable means to deceive the pearl from my hands, but today you were rewarded like this. It seems that you must not be greedy for a small advantage.” The peddler sighed triumphantly.

“Normal business, how can you say it’s a lie? I can only blame you for being blind!”

“What courage! You dare to be so hard-mouthed when you’re about to die!” The peddler said angrily.

Li Qing calmly looked around and asked, “You said that day that the God Evolution Pearl was retrieved from the adventurer in the Northern Radiance Ruins. Do you dare to ask if that adventurer is here?”

“That adventurer is me.” Another person walked out.

The vendor smiled and said, “I am friends with him. All the things he found in the ruins were handed over to me for resale. Do you think the two of us recognize each other?”

“Alright, cut the crap. Hand over the Spirit Evolution Pearl in your hand. Perhaps I can spare your life.” The Void Realm expert said.

“Do you still have the Divine Evolution Pearl in your hands?” Li Qing was calm and unhurried.

“Of course there is.”

Li Qing’s eyes lit up, “Then do you know where the Divine Evolution Pearl appeared?”

“Why are you asking so many questions? Hand over the Divine Evolution Pearl, do you hear me?” The Void Realm expert said impatiently.

“A mere second level Void Realm cultivator dares to shout in front of me.” Li Qing’s expression turned cold.

“What? A mere second level Void Realm?” That Void Realm expert thought that he had heard wrongly, but he was actually despised by a Xiantian Realm expert?

Everyone was in an uproar. The way they looked at Li Qing was like they were looking at a fool. They didn’t understand why Xiantian experts dared to despise the Void Realm?

However, in the next moment, they discovered that the sky had suddenly changed. Everyone was shrouded in a strange barrier that covered a ten mile radius.

It was the arrival of the Dharma Form of the Saber

Immediately after, Li Qing activated his Primordial Emperor Secret Technique and Ancient Divine Transformation, erupting with terrifying combat strength. He stretched out a large palm to cover the sky and grabbed the Void Realm expert in his hand.

The Void Realm expert roared angrily towards the sky, struggling with all his might and surging energy. However, he was still unable to break free from Li Qing’s palm.

How could the Emperor’s Extreme Opening Heaven Palm break free so easily?

“How is that possible? Capturing a Void Realm expert in one move? Is this person really just a Xiantian expert?” Everyone around was dumbfounded, their entire bodies trembling.

“Could it be the legendary one?”

“It should be that Xiantian Tenth Layer that can fight against the Golden Lion Marquis. It has spread like wildfire in Jizhou City. Originally, I didn’t believe this rumor, but I didn’t expect it to appear in front of me like this!”

The Void Realm expert hurriedly said, “Fellow Daoist, if you have something to say, it was all a misunderstanding.”

“It’s too late to say this now.” Li Qing snorted coldly. The strength of his palm bit by bit crushed the Void Realm expert and turned him into a ball of blood mist.

Right at this moment, a yellow pearl suddenly rushed out from the blood mist, carrying the Void Realm expert’s primordial spirit, wanting to escape.
