Since the sky was covered, the heavens began to show their holiness

"You want this bottle of water of life from me?"

Yorick's eyes suddenly became stern and narrowed slightly. A sharp light flashed in his eyes. He stared at Zhou Xian like a hungry wolf staring at its prey.

He subconsciously tightened his grip on the bottle hanging on his chest. His tattered cloak swayed slightly with his movements, making a rustling sound that was particularly clear in this silent mass grave. The atmosphere instantly became tense.

"Yes, this bottle of water of life is very important to me. I can exchange it with you." Zhou Xian nodded. Then, he waved his hand lightly, and a jade token flashed out from the space ring.

The jade plate was warm and white, and the magic runes carved on it were delicate and complex, faintly gleaming with a soft and gentle light. That light was like the warm sunshine in spring, which seemed to be able to penetrate the gloomy darkness of the Shadow Island and soothe all things in the world.

"This is a holy object I made by combining light magic and undead magic. It can purify the soul and appease the dead. I believe it will be of great help to your work." Zhou Xian spoke slowly and handed the jade token to Yorick.

Yorick's eyes were fixed on Zhou Xian. He did not reach out to take the jade token that was emitting a soft light. His eyes were full of surprise: "Are you a wizard?" His voice was low, with a hint of barely perceptible surprise.

The predecessor of Shadow Isles, Blessed Isles, was once a place of prosperous magic, and its powerful wizard team was once famous. Unfortunately, the sudden arrival of the Curse of the Ruined Empire was like a ruthless black storm, instantly destroying everything and reducing Blessed Isles to its current gloomy and dead appearance.

At this moment, the one standing in front of him was actually such a young wizard, which really surprised Yorick. Looking at the jade card again, the magic fluctuations were not ostentatious but steady and powerful as the runes flowed. It was not difficult to see that the magical attainments of this child in front of him should not be underestimated. Thinking of this, Yorick's eyes became more scrutinizing.

“I studied it for a while.”

Zhou Xian raised the corners of his lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and spoke in a calm tone. He had indeed not been exposed to magic for a long time, but with his own "hard work", he had achieved some success.

Hearing this, Yorick's originally lifeless and expressionless face could not help but twitch slightly. He could not believe that this young child could make such an extraordinary jade token. He could achieve such accomplishments after only learning magic for a period of time. This really overturned his cognition. He looked up and down at Zhou Xian, his eyes showing both surprise and a little suspicion.

"I don't care if you made this thing or not. Sorry, I have no intention of trading the Water of Life."

Yorick shook his head slowly, his tone calm but revealing an unquestionable determination. His eyes fell on the bottle of water of life in his hand, his eyes full of cherishment.

This water of life was of extraordinary significance to him. In this Shadow Island shrouded in black fog and filled with the power of ruin, it was not only a powerful guarantee against the erosion of the black fog, but also the fundamental reason why he was able to survive the horrible curse of ruin.

Seeing this, Zhou Xian looked calm and not discouraged at all. In fact, before proposing the deal, he had expected that Yorick would not easily hand over the Water of Life, and he was just trying it out.

Meeting Yorick's firm and unquestionable gaze, Zhou Xian did not retreat at all, but spoke directly, speaking earnestly: "One drop, I only need one drop. Just one drop, I believe it will not cause any substantial loss to you, right? I am going to use this drop of water of life for research. You are also aware of the miserable state of the Shadow Isles now, maybe I can really find a way to restore it to its original prosperous and beautiful appearance of the Blessed Isles."

"Blessed Island..." Yorick muttered to himself, his voice low and hoarse, as if these three words carried countless heavy memories. His eyes suddenly became blurred, and his thoughts seemed to be pulled back to the distant past.

How many years have passed since the terrible curse of ruin swept over the Blessed Isles, which completely disappeared from the world, replaced by the dark fog-shrouded, gloomy and terrifying Shadow Isles. Only people like him who have personally experienced the glorious days of the Blessed Isles know how beautiful it once was. At that time, the sun was shining, magic flourished, people lived and worked in peace, and the island was full of vitality and vigor. But now, everything has turned into a bubble, leaving only endless darkness and silence.

Yorick sighed slightly, and refocused his gaze on Zhou Xian, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He didn't know if this child was really capable of changing everything, but the glimmer of hope to restore Fuguang Island was like a ray of light in the darkness, which made it difficult for him to easily refuse.

"Although I don't know where you heard the name of Blessed Light Island, and I don't know if you have the ability to change this place, but since you are Gwen's friend, I can give you a drop of water of life. As for this thing, you can take it back."

Yorick spoke slowly, with a hint of helplessness and relief in his tone. He reached out and took the bottle of water of life from his chest, his movements gentle, as if he was touching an invaluable treasure.

As the bottle cap was opened, a strange and powerful force instantly spread. The mass grave, which was originally dead and gloomy, was suddenly full of vitality. The withered grass and trees trembled slightly, as if greedily sucking in the vitality; the gray sky seemed to be a little brighter, with a faint light.

Seeing this, Zhou Xian did not dare to delay for a moment. He hurriedly took out an empty jade bottle from the space ring and carefully took the drop of water of life poured out by Yorick.

The drop of water of life swayed gently in the jade bottle, emitting a soft and charming light. Zhou Xian held the jade bottle tightly and carefully put this drop of precious holy object into the space ring.

"Thank you, but since this is a transaction, you should accept this jade token."

Zhou Xian's eyes were sincere and his words were firm. As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the jade token directly at Yorick without hesitation. The jade token drew a graceful arc in the air, and the runes flashed and the light flowed.

To others, this jade token that combines light and undead magic may be a rare treasure and worth a lot of money. But in Zhou Xian's eyes, although it took him a lot of energy to make it, it was not worth mentioning compared to the drop of water of life given by Yorick.

Yorick was slightly startled when he heard this, and seemed to want to refuse. Zhou Xian quickly added: "Take it. It's nothing to me. As long as you can use it. Maybe this jade token can really help you better appease those undead spirits in the future."

Seeing this, Yorick paused for a moment, and slowly pulled out a stiff smile on his face. His face, which had always been shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, became a little more awkward because of this smile. He reached out and took the jade token thrown by Zhou Xian. The warm touch of the jade token and the faint magical fluctuations in his hand made Yorick's heart move.

He looked down at the jade token in his hand, then at Zhou Xian who looked calm in front of him. He opened his mouth but didn't know what to say. In the end, he just carefully put away the jade token and said in a low voice: "In this case, thank you very much. I hope you can find a way to restore this place as you said."
