I have Taoism and can understand other worlds

Chapter 622 Jade Pearl
Jiang Wen held the stone bead and cleaved it open with his mind.

The outer layer of the stone bead was removed, and the strange stone was cut away. As each layer was peeled away, the stone bead finally revealed its true form—a green jade bead.

The jade bead lay quietly in Jiang Wen's hand, its warm, emerald-green light radiating in all directions. A light, ethereal aura spread out, making one feel as if a spring breeze was caressing their face.

"What a treasure!" Jiang Wen exclaimed, gazing at the jade bead. Although he didn't know what it was, he knew it was extraordinary just by looking at the spiritual energy it exuded. Few treasures could emit spiritual energy like this jade bead, like a natural spiritual spring, thin yet persistent.

This treasure, if placed on land, would likely fetch an astronomical price. It's strange that such a fine item is hidden inside a rock.

Jiang Wen used his divine sense to examine the jade bead, but found that his divine sense could not penetrate it. It seemed that the reason he couldn't see through the stone bead earlier was because of this object.

"This thing is not simple," Jiang Wen thought to himself, then looked up at the little girl. "It seems that it was not an accident that your parents left this thing behind. This is not something you can possess right now. I will keep it for you and return it to you later."

"No, no, no, sir, you can take it if you want. This isn't that important to Zhen," the little girl quickly said. She didn't really have a deep emotional attachment to the keepsake. After all, she had never lived with her parents since childhood, so how could she have any emotional connection to it?

She swallowed it back then because she didn't want her uncle to take it. Now that she's become a disciple, she naturally doesn't care about it anymore.

Her husband treated her well and never hit or scolded her. He also taught her many things, including how to address others. He personally taught her to address him as "husband."

If the master wanted it, the little girl felt she could give him anything. How could a mere stone compare to the master?

Jiang Wen, unaware of the little girl's thoughts, put the jade bead away. Its origins were extraordinary; perhaps there would be a chance to uncover them later. After all, anyone would covet a treasure capable of absorbing spiritual energy, especially in this Fallen Immortal Land where normal spiritual energy was scarce.

Having taken the little girl's belongings, Jiang Wen decided to make it up to her properly in the future. Although he was no longer in the Great Qian Dynasty and could not return via the Boundary Pearl, he would personally cleanse the little girl's meridians and marrow once he got out.

He chatted with the little girl for a while, giving her some pointers on breathing techniques. Seeing the little girl's delighted expression, Liang Yuan opened his eyes.

"Awake?" Jiang Wen handed over some tea.

After drinking it, Liang Yuan felt refreshed. Now that the Dao Palace is gradually stabilizing, although it can no longer absorb spiritual energy from the outside world, it can still recover with the support of Jiang Wen's pills.

With his greatest wish fulfilled, there was only one thing left to do.

For Liang Yuan, it's as if she's been freed from her shackles, and she feels completely relaxed.

"If it weren't for Brother Jiang, I wouldn't have made such progress. I might have died in the Fallen Immortal Land long ago." Liang Yuan smiled, her eyes filled with gratitude. Jiang Wen waved his hand, indicating that she didn't need to be so polite.

"I'm helping you for my own selfish reasons, so don't forget our deal. After we get out, you have to help me find Su Pingsheng. I still have a grudge against him."

"Of course I wouldn't forget," Liang Yuan nodded. "If Brother Jiang wants me to lend a hand, I'm willing."

"We'll talk about it later," Jiang Wen said with a smile. "We've known each other for quite some time now, and it's just the two of us here, relying on each other. Since things are like this, let's not keep calling each other 'Brother Jiang,' it just makes people feel distant."

"If not Brother Jiang, then how should I address you?" Liang Yuan was taken aback, unsure of what to say. Although they depended on each other in the Fallen Immortal Land, she only felt awe towards Jiang Wen. After all, this man had a mysterious background and unfathomable cultivation. Although he always wore a smile, one could sense a subtle distance between them.

"I know quite a few people, and they all call me Brother Jiang. You can call me Brother Jiang if you like. Of course, if you don't want to, you can call me Abbot Jiang." Jiang Wen smiled, looking at Liang Yuan with a teasing expression. The two had known each other for quite some time, and he knew this woman inside and out. After experiencing her inner demon tribulation, this knowledge of her had deepened even further.

Therefore, bringing this up today can be seen as a way to bring the two parties closer. A relationship with a Daoist cultivator is an important one for the Taixu Temple.

"..." Liang Yuan was stunned for a long time after hearing Jiang Wen's words, opening her mouth but not knowing what to say. She simply lowered her eyes slightly, her slender, jade-like fingers constantly fiddling with the stone cup. After a long, long silence in the room, a voice tinged with shyness and hesitation rang out.

"Jiang, brother..."

"Excellent, Sister Liang Yuan," Jiang Wen laughed loudly.

Seeing this, Liang Yuan felt somewhat embarrassed. He glanced at Jiang Wen and then remained silent.

Seeing this, the little girl just sat quietly, seemingly sensing the strange atmosphere in the room.

Of course, this strange situation didn't last long, as Jiang Wen told Liang Yuan what Yan Ming had said. The Dragon Clan wanted to deal with them, and the woman wouldn't be spared either.

"Does this dragon-human race have any Dao Palace cultivators?" Liang Yuan asked, frowning.

“There are still a few heroes among the dragon-human race. It would be unwise to act rashly. We came here to find a way out, and leaving the Fallen Immortal Land is our goal,” Jiang Wen said, tapping his fingers on the stone table. “Elder Baixi summoned me this time, so I will go and take a look at the Azure Sky Tower. You will come back with Yanming and help me with some things.”

"What is it?" Liang Yuan asked curiously.

"I want you to help me investigate the origins of the various tribes of Baixi, especially the major ones. Where did their ancestors come from, and what supernatural abilities and talents did they possess? I also want to know a thing or two about the ten-thousand-year history of the Baixi tribes." Jiang Wen wanted Liang Yuan to help him find out the details of the Baixi tribes; he wanted to know what had happened over the past ten thousand years.

He had been in Baixi Divine Capital for some time and had seen many races. But whenever he met a race, he could always find the shadow of the ancient Taicang races in them. Whether they were rock people or dragon people, they were closer to humans than the ancient Taicang races.

The changes involved are not so simple; there must be some secret behind them.

Jiang Wen wanted to investigate on his own, but unfortunately, he was delayed by various matters. Now that he was going to the Azure Sky Tower to pay his respects to the elders, he could sense that this trip would not be so simple.

Now that Liang Yuan's Dao Palace is in its initial stages of completion, it utilizes the secret techniques of the Divine Path. No one in the Divine Capital can keep her here.

So he wanted to take this opportunity to have Liang Yuan help him find out about these things.

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan agreed to Jiang Wen's request without hesitation. Although her strength was inferior to Jiang Wen's, she could easily remain unnoticed. She had learned various unorthodox secret techniques at the God Worship Society, which she could use to gather all sorts of information.

After discussing it, the two decided on their respective tasks.

Jiang Wen gave Liang Yuan a few drops of spiritual spring water so that she could restore her magic power in times of crisis.

Liang Yuan was overjoyed and cherished the spiritual spring water like a precious treasure. Jiang Wen, unable to bear seeing her like this, gave her a storage bag so she would have nowhere to put her things.

Making storage bags is not that simple; Jiang Wen is still waiting for Li Yunshang to give him the refining method.

After resting for a few days, the messenger from the Azure Sky Tower arrived at the Rock People's Clan.
