Chapter 1216 The Origin of the Holy Pearl
Zhou Ran smiled lightly and said: "Hai Xiong and Yun Xi have made such great sacrifices to quell Linghai's rampage. How can I have the nerve to ask for their help? But in front of them, I can't refuse. , I can only agree with their approach! Hailan, in fact, I don’t need your protection at all, let me sail the boat by myself, you can go back!”
"No! I must follow you!"
Hailan naturally wouldn't go back, he couldn't afford to lose that person.
Zhou Ran had no choice but to agree to Hailan continue to sail the boat for him.
The spiritual ship sailed on the inner sea. Tianhai Pavilion was originally located in the center of the inner sea, and the disciples knew the waters of the spiritual sea well.
Hailan didn't need to look at the chart at all when driving the boat, just relying on the impression in his mind was enough.
Not long after, the ship finally arrived at the junction of the inland sea and the outer sea. Hailan pointed to a small island not far away.
"City Lord, that's where the temple elder Qi Zun lives. Do you want to go say hello?"
"No."
Zhou Ran shook his head. If he met Qi Zun, Qi Zun would stop him from going to the outer sea.
Besides, Master Qi was very upset about being excluded from the temple, so how could he have the nerve to bother him?
Hailan continued to drive the boat, and the spirit boat had arrived at the outer sea area.
This is a place Hailan has never been to, so he needs to look at Zhou Ran's chart.
"Do you understand?" Zhou Ran asked directly.
"no problem!"
Hailan said seriously that this chart was extremely detailed. Even if he had never been there, he could still move forward according to the instructions on the chart.
The origin of the holy pearl marked on the sea map is actually not far from the inland sea. It can be reached by traveling dozens of miles by sea.
Zhou Ran sat on the boat and waited silently. He knew some things well.
The outer sea is an undeveloped area, and it will be very dangerous if it goes deep. If the origin of the Holy Pearl is quite far away, the Inquisition will probably not hand over the sea map to itself.
It is precisely because the destination is not far away and the risk factor is within the controllable range that the Inquisition allows itself to give it a try.
Zhou Ran closed his eyes and took a nap. When he woke up, he found that the scenery in front of him was completely different from the inner sea.
The sea water in Linghai is bluer, which shows that the spiritual energy and the turbid breath have reached a balance, but the sea water here is dark blue, which means that the ratio of the turbid breath has exceeded the ratio of the spiritual energy.
However, even if the proportions are out of balance, the sea here is extremely calm and there are no rough waves.
"The common sense of the immortality world seems to be inapplicable in the open sea."
Zhou Ran said to himself, but had no intention of getting to the bottom of it. His own affairs were more important, and he had better wait for the opportunity to study the composition of the sea water in the open sea.
"We're here!" Hailan said, pointing to an island in front of him.
Zhou Ran carefully looked at the island in front of him. This was the origin of the holy pearl marked on the chart.
The area of this island is quite large, comparable to several Tianhai cities. It is more like a small piece of land than an island.
"Is this the place where the Holy Pearl comes from?"
Zhou Ran murmured in his heart. Since the island was very quiet, Hailan parked the spirit boat on the shore and accompanied Zhou Ran to the island.
The scenery on the island is relatively monotonous. Apart from a few towering trees, there is nothing else.
"Huh?"
Zhou Ran looked at the top of a big tree and saw that there were fruits on the top of the tree. They were all crystal clear fruits, and each fruit shone with a dazzling light.
"Could it be that?"
Zhou Ran suddenly realized something. He immediately jumped up, picked a fruit, and played with it in his hand.
There was a lot of spiritual energy hidden in this fruit. The spiritual energy hit his nose, and Zhou Ran even found it difficult to breathe.
However, not long after I played with the fruit in my hands, it completely disappeared.
Zhou Ran was shocked, why did the fruit disappear for no reason? What was the problem?
"City Lord, what's wrong?"
Hailan saw Zhou Ran behaving strangely,
Inquire immediately out of curiosity.
"nothing."
Zhou Ran had nothing to say. After all, he had no idea what was going on in his mind, so how could he tell others at will?
The fruit produced on that big tree is similar to the Holy Pearl in terms of breath, but far inferior to the Holy Pearl in spiritual energy.
In addition, the fruit disappeared as soon as he touched it, so Zhou Ran was even more convinced that the fruit was not a holy bead.
Probably because this is the place where the Holy Beads are produced, every item is stained with the aura of the Holy Beads.
"Let's walk around first and see if there are any clues."
Zhou Ran said calmly, and wandered around the island with Hailan.
On the island of Nuo Da, there is nothing except the towering trees that can be seen everywhere.
No animals, no humans, just emptiness.
Zhou Ran just felt strange. If this island is really the origin of the holy beads, then why no one comes to mine the holy beads again?
There is no one protecting this island. What if the holy beads produced are stolen?
Zhou Ran was puzzled, but couldn't find a clue.
The island is quite large, and Zhou Ran and Hailan walked for a long time before covering the entire island.
"Strange, where is the vein of the Holy Pearl?" Even if no one mines the Holy Pearl, the vein will not disappear. "Does it mean that all the holy beads have been mined?"
Zhou Ran muttered to himself, and Hailan beside him quickly explained.
"I heard that the Holy Pearl has existed in name only. It has no other use except for being used by the temple as a favor. So the temple has probably given up mining, so an empty island is left."
"Also a possibility!"
Zhou Ran responded, maybe this island is as useless to the temple. It is not good to give up, and it is not good not to give up.
He came to this island to find a way to activate the power of the Holy Bead. Now that he had arrived at his destination, Zhou Ran took out his Holy Bead without hesitation.
This island is indeed the birthplace of the holy bead. The holy bead in Zhou Ran's hand began to sparkle as soon as it arrived on the island. Not only that, the holy bead was shaking violently.
Just like human beings, it is impossible not to be excited when they finally return to their hometown after wandering for a long time.
From this point of view, the Holy Pearl is indeed a psychic object that can communicate with people and nature.
"Do you remember your name?"
Zhou Ran said to Shengzhu. Of course Shengzhu would not answer him, but only reacted to the surrounding environment.
Hailan looked at Zhou Ran curiously. He was worthy of being the person who had obtained the city building order. Zhou Ran was indeed outstanding.
Zhou Ran didn't notice, but Hailan knew very well that when Zhou Ran took out the holy bead, it shook violently. It was impossible for ordinary people to handle it. Only Zhou Ran acted as if nothing happened.
