They entered the mother tree, which was hollow at the center and had a large space.

At the very center was a light green bead. Leng Yue and Qian Chen exchanged a glance. Another bead. They had encountered quite a few beads recently!

"Is this the Holy Spirit Pearl?" Leng Yue dusted off her hands, stepped forward, and tried to take out the Holy Spirit Pearl.

But as soon as she took it out, the mother tree would wither and die, and the spirits on the mother tree would also perish. Leng Yue was startled and quickly put the bead back.

"How could this happen?" Leng Yue looked at Qian Chen. "What should we do? Should we just give up?"

Qianchen shook his head, "We finally made it to this place and found the Holy Spirit Pearl. If we miss it, we don't know when we'll be able to find it again."

"But the elves here all depend on the Mother Tree for growth, and the Mother Tree depends on the Holy Spirit Pearl for growth. If I take out the Holy Spirit Pearl now, the elven race will perish." Leng Yue was torn. Of course, she wanted the Holy Spirit Pearl too, but there were so many elves here. What should she do?

“Yueyue, we don’t have much time left. More people from headquarters will be here soon. You really can’t hesitate any longer.” Qianchen glanced at Lengyue. “If people from headquarters come, they will definitely destroy this mother tree in order to capture us. Rather than waiting for them to destroy it, we might as well let the mother tree die more gracefully.”

"I know, I know, I know everything you're saying, but I can't do it. Qianchen, look at the lives above, they're all still babies, I can't bring myself to do it." Leng Yue bit her lip and shook her head repeatedly.

Qian Chen's face darkened. "If you can't do it, then let me do it."

As Qian Chen spoke, he reached out to grab the Holy Spirit Pearl, but he was repelled by its power. Clearly, the Holy Spirit Pearl only accepted Leng Yue's touch; anyone else would be attacked by it.

Qian Chen was surprised. He and Leng Yue had been together for so long that they were practically inseparable. They treated each other the same in many ways. He never expected that the Holy Spirit Pearl would differentiate between them.

"I... I'd better ask Quanxi to come out and confirm!" Leng Yue looked at the Holy Spirit Pearl. "If it really is, I will definitely not be soft-hearted. If it isn't, I won't hurt innocent people at will."

“Alright,” Qian Chen knew that Leng Yue was compromising. But both of them also knew in their hearts that this must be the Holy Spirit Pearl; otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so unguarded with Leng Yue.

Quanxi was summoned. "Master, I haven't finished investigating yet!" Quanxi pouted unhappily. "I'm busy, why did you summon me like that?"

"Quanxi, is this the Holy Spirit Pearl?" Leng Yue's expression was somewhat suppressed; she didn't want Quanxi to answer yes.

“Yes!” But Quanxi nodded. “This is the master’s Holy Spirit Pearl. It can regenerate life.”

"Master, aren't we going to take it back?" Quanxi tilted her head and looked at Leng Yue. She didn't understand. Now that she had found her things, shouldn't she return them to their rightful owner?

"But, but if I take it down, the mother tree will wither..." Leng Yue still felt a little reluctant.

"I see!" Quanxi nodded. She knew that her master was a soft-hearted person. Otherwise, how could they have been taken in by her master?

"I'm having trouble bringing myself to do it," Leng Yue finally decided to give up, looking apologetically at Qian Chen and Quan Xi.

Qian Chen remained silent for a moment. Although he was extremely unwilling, he still nodded and comforted Leng Yue, "Fine, if you don't want it, that's fine. It's just a bead, you don't have to take it."

As Qian Chen spoke, he put his arm around Leng Yue's shoulder, preparing to leave. But they were stopped by Quan Xi, "Master, there is actually another way."

Leng Yue and Qian Chen turned around. "What method?"

"In your storage bag, there is something that can replace the Holy Spirit Pearl and become nourishment for this mother tree." Quanxi pointed her little finger to the Qiankun bag at Leng Yue's waist.

Leng Yue explained, "This is a Qiankun bag, not a storage bag, and besides, there's nothing inside."

As Leng Yue spoke, she turned the Qiankun bag upside down. "Look, these are all basic items. There aren't any high-level spirit pearls here at all. Huh? What's this?"

As Leng Yue spoke, she took out a wooden box, though she couldn't quite remember what was inside. But Quanxi pointed to the box, "Master, this is it."

Leng Yue opened the wooden box with a puzzled expression, only to find a delicate and translucent heart inside. She hesitated for a moment before looking at Qian Chen with delight, exclaiming, "This is the Heart of Immortal Tracing? I had completely forgotten about it!"

"Master, put it on quickly, the Heart of Immortal Tracing can replace the Holy Spirit Pearl." Quanxi could feel the vibrant life force of the Heart of Immortal Tracing.

"Really?" Leng Yue was surprised. She hadn't expected that the Heart of the World she obtained in the low-level Immortal Realm would be able to maintain the growth of the mother tree, just like the Holy Spirit Pearl.

“Yes, I remember that the Immortal Tracing Mountain was formed by the Immortal Tracing Heart. Since this is a miniature world heart, it can replace a bead and provide nutrients for a tree.” Qian Chen also remembered, so he had the same confidence in this Immortal Tracing Heart.

Seeing Qianchen's words, Leng Yue stopped worrying. She gently took out the Heart of Tracing Immortality from the wooden box and carefully walked to the Holy Spirit Pearl. Then, holding the Heart of Tracing Immortality in one hand and the Holy Spirit Pearl in the other, she moved her hands almost simultaneously, taking one and returning the other, successfully completing the replacement process.

Leng Yue held her breath and quietly looked at the Elf Mother Tree, only to find that the Mother Tree was unharmed. Leng Yue breathed a sigh of relief, "It really is alright, thankfully nothing happened."

"Master, how about we put away the Holy Spirit Pearl and go to the small world?" Quanxi's cheeks flushed with excitement. The Holy Spirit Pearl had been lost for many years, and she wanted to see what would happen if she put it in the small world.

Leng Yue and Qian Chen exchanged a glance, then returned to the small world together. Sure enough, as soon as they arrived, the Holy Spirit Pearl emitted a dazzling light, eventually transforming into a part of the small world. The small world became larger and more like a complete world.

“Look at those butterflies!” Leng Yue exclaimed in surprise as she saw a huge, seven-colored butterfly on the phoenix tail flowers by the lake.

“A seven-colored butterfly, it feels so familiar to me,” Quanxi looked at the butterfly in confusion, then looked at Lengyue, “Master, I remember seeing this seven-colored butterfly before.”

"Really? Who is that butterfly? Is it Butterfly Dance?" Leng Yue naturally thought of the name Butterfly Dance.

"Maybe, I just feel like I should have seen him before." Quanxi's eyes were filled with confusion and a hint of uncertainty.

"Alright, let's go out." Qianchen had to interrupt the two who were lost in their memories. "It's not safe yet. Let's take the small world and leave."

Leng Yue nodded. "Yes, it's time for us to leave too." They had gained quite a bit in the fairytale town this time, and it was time to go.

The Holy Spirit Pearl she was looking for had been found. Leng Yue had initially considered inquiring about Zero's whereabouts, but then decided against it. As the saying goes, "Where there's life, there's hope," and now was not the time for her to take risks. After all, it was already excessive to be lurking in the enemy's stronghold with her family; to do anything more would be suicidal.
