“So that’s how it is!” Tang Ye nodded. He seemed to have thought of something and asked once more. “Is there any way to withstand the baleful energy within this pearl?” Tang Ye was slightly unwilling to be unable to use it. After all, the might of this pearl was too terrifying. Su Qingshi pondered deeply for a moment and said, “Only two types of people can utilize this pearl without restraint. The first type of person is an expert with extraordinary strength, like experts at the Monarch Realm that’s above the Exalt Realm. The second type of person is someone with an extremely firm will. Not to mention the Pearl of Baleful Blood, someone with a firm will could withstand even more evil things.” “How is one considered to possess a firm will?” Tang Ye continued. When she saw that Tang Ye refused to give up, Su Qingshi’s beautiful brows knit together as she said, “Someone that comprehends the ‘Intent’ of legend can be considered to be someone with a firm will. Perhaps such a person exists in the Origin School and the Grand Qin Empire, but there’s no such person in my Sword Sect. To be more precise, it has already been a thousand years since someone within the Sword Sect comprehended ‘Intent’.” As she finished speaking, Su Qingshi had a slightly dejected expression. Tang Ye completely abandoned any intention to utilize this pearl when he heard this. Even though he was slightly reluctant to give up, it couldn’t be helped. This pearl was something that would bring him down along with his enemy, and he was truly unable to bear utilizing such a thing. Su Qingshi hesitated for a moment before she said, “I want to take this pearl back to the Sword Sect and allow the sect to seal it, so as to prevent it from falling into the Ghost Sect’s hands.” Tang Ye was stunned. He hadn’t said anything when the violet mink on his shoulder moved abruptly. It waved its little claw and took the Pearl of Baleful Blood into its arms, and then it glared fiercely at Su Qingshi as if it was saying that this pearl belonged to it. Tang Ye rubbed his nose and said, “Qingshi, this thing is something the little fellow stole, and I don’t have the right to ask the little fellow to give it to you. I’ll absolutely have no objections if you’re able to make the little fellow hand it to you. I’m not acting shamelessly on purpose. You ought to be aware that the little fellow and I are friends, and we’re not master and servant!” Su Qingshi glanced at Tang Ye. She naturally didn’t believe Tang Ye because the mysterious violet mink before her practically obeyed Tang Ye’s every single word. If Tang Ye asked the violent mink to hand the pearl over, then it would absolutely not refuse. However, since Tang Ye spoke in this way, it displayed that Tang Ye didn’t want to hand it over. This time, if it wasn’t for Tang Ye and the violet mink, she would be utterly unable to notice the Ghost Sect’s schemes, and if the Ghost Sect was allowed to continue, then even if the Sword Sect’s Spirit Vein wasn’t completely destroyed, it would definitely be extremely damaged. At that time, the Sword Sect’s losses would be immeasurable. So, how could he have the nerve to ask Tang Ye to hand the pearl over to her? Just as Su Qingshi thought, Tang Ye was unwilling to hand it over indeed. Even though this pearl was only a Pseudo Dao Artifact, it was still a treasure. He might not be able to utilize it now, but it didn’t mean that he wouldn’t be able to utilize it in the future as well. No matter what, it was better to keep such a treasure in his possession. Of course, the precondition was that Su Qingshi agreed. Su Qingshi remained silent for a long time while Tang Ye remained silent as well. Both of them had conveyed their intentions, and the decision lay in Su Qingshi’s hands. After a long time, Su Qingshi glanced at Tang Ye and said, “Only I know the whereabouts of this pearl. Don’t expose this pearl in front of anyone in the future, otherwise, even the Sword Sect won’t be able to save you!” “Thank you!” Tang Ye spoke in a serious tone as he gazed at her. Su Qingshi’s wrist twisted, and a wooden tablet appeared in her hand. She passed it to Tang Ye and said, “Here’s a total of 10,000 Contribution Points of the sect, and it’s a reward for your contribution this time. You can exchange it for some cultivation techniques or treasures after your return to the sect. However, I suggest that you keep them and strive to obtain even more Contribution Points!” As soon as she finished speaking, Su Qingshi didn’t stay here any longer, and she walked out of the cave. After she left, Tang Ye’s gaze descended onto the wooden tablet in his hand. It was around the size of his palm, and the number 10,000 could be seen at its center. As he gazed at it, Tang Ye was delighted in his heart. A reward of 10,000 Contribution Points wasn’t a small amount at all. After all, Outer Court Elders merely obtained around 1,000 Contribution Points every single month as their salary, whereas, these 1,000 Contribution Points could be exchanged for low-grade Yellow Rank treasures or techniques. On the other hand, these 10,000 points could be exchanged for a good low-grade Profound Rank treasure. In short, Tang Ye had obtained great gains during his trip to the Nether Wolf Gorge this time. No, it should be said that he made a fortune. After all, there were two Profound Rank weapons and a few tens of low-grade and mid-grade Yellow Rank treasures in his spatial ring! After he put the wooden tablet away, Tang Ye walked out of the cave, and then he flashed towards the Sword Sect.
