When Sheng Ning carried the big pearl back to her courtyard, she saw a little dumpling sitting in her yard.
Because of his short stature, Bai Ze sat on the round stool with his feet off the ground, his short legs swaying back and forth, looking adorable.
Hearing a noise behind him, he turned around. Before he could even speak, he was startled by the enormous pearl in Sheng Ning's arms, which made his eyes widen in surprise.
"What's this?"
The pearl is very heavy.
But for Sheng Ning, who was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, this weight was nothing.
Strangely enough, just now when she was with her master, this pearl, which was weightless to her as a Foundation Establishment cultivator, was so heavy that her master couldn't even hold it with both hands.
With a slight frown, she saw Bai Ze run up to her, squat down behind her, and speak to him.
"These are pearls that my master gave me."
Bai Ze frowned, staring at the pearl in her arms for a long time before raising his head with a solemn expression to meet her eyes.
"What kind of pearl is this? This is an inner core."
Sheng Ning, "Huh?"
Sheng Ning was so shocked that she almost threw the inner core away.
Even though I've already surprised my master several times today.
Hearing Bai Ze's words, her small face still couldn't hide the shock, "Inner Core?"
"Whose inner core is as big as my head?"
Sheng Ning, who had previously hunted high-level monsters during the monster frenzy, also obtained an inner core.
However, the inner cores of those demonic beasts were either green or red, and were pitted and uneven, emanating a strong demonic aura from the inside out.
The one in her arms, not to mention its smooth, flawless surface, didn't even have a trace of demonic energy on such a large inner core.
Sheng Ning's face scrunched up as she looked at the inner core in her arms with a troubled expression. "Did the owner of this inner core... take a growth enhancer?"
Bai Ze asked in confusion, "What is a growth promoter?"
Sheng Ning briefly explained the effects of the growth promoter to him, and then shook the inner core in her arms, asking, "My master, is it really that potent?"
Mo Jingchun looked very thin.
She's so thin she could be blown away by a strong wind.
He couldn't even move this inner core just now, so how did he obtain it?
Bai Ze raised his hand and placed it on the inner core. In an instant, the inner core, which had been unremarkable in Sheng Ning's arms, suddenly shone with light.
However, in the blink of an eye, the light faded away.
The inner elixir returned to its original state.
Sheng Ning stared wide-eyed at the inner core, then at Bai Ze, "This wouldn't be... yours, would it?"
If this is the inner core of the mythical beast Bai Ze, then its large size makes sense.
After all, when Bai Ze's divine power was at its peak, his physical body was enormous, so it was normal for such a large inner core to grow inside him.
But if it really is Bai Ze's inner core...
Sheng Ning chuckled and stuffed the inner core into his arms. "Here you go. Don't misunderstand. My master is socially awkward and doesn't even dare to see people. He definitely didn't dig out your inner core back then."
"It must be someone else..."
“This is not my inner core,” Bai Ze said, a hint of embarrassment flashing across his face. “I must have been mistaken; this looks like an egg.”
Sheng Ning: ......
"You mean, my socially awkward master secretly laid an egg behind my fellow disciples' backs?"
Although Bai Ze is a divine beast, his spiritual power has long since dissipated, and he is now just like an ordinary child.
He gritted his teeth and held the egg in his arms, his little face flushed. "Now I understand who Yu Ye looks like."
"He looks a lot like you."
Yu was also a genius at drawing talismans.
Even with rounding, Bai Ze was praising her as a genius.
Sheng Ning raised an eyebrow and pinched his cheek. "You're quite good at praising people, but my talisman-drawing skills are far inferior to yours, senior brother."
"Who's praising you?! I'm saying you're just as stupid as Yu Ye!"
Bai Ze couldn't hold the egg in his arms any longer, and fearing he might accidentally drop it, he stuffed the egg back into Sheng Ning's arms.
"I don't know how long this egg has been sitting there. There's not a trace of life inside. Where did your master get this egg?"
"What...what are you doing?"
Sheng Ning had moved an alchemy furnace out of the house at some point.
She opened her palm, and a stream of clear liquid flowed from it.
Sheng Ning poured water into the alchemy furnace and then threw the egg in his hand into the furnace.
Seeing Bai Ze run over again, she didn't even lift her eyelids. "Didn't you say this egg was dead? I'll cook it and see if it's edible."
Bai Ze: ......
What the hell do you think I'd cook this and see if it's edible?!
This egg looks unusual.
What if there's something inside that comes to life when heated?
Bai Ze took a deep breath and was about to speak to stop him when he heard a familiar voice behind him.
"What have you been cooking all day, junior sister?"
Yu Ye quickly stepped forward and only when he got closer did he realize that his junior sister was boiling eggs in the alchemy furnace.
Lu Jingshen also saw this scene. His eyes widened, and he raised his finger to point at the alchemy furnace in disbelief.
"Junior Sister, how could you... how could you..."
Bai Ze couldn't wait to finish the sentence for him, "How could you boil the eggs?"
Lu Jingshen shook his head, took a deep breath and said, "There are iron pots in the kitchen. If you want to boil eggs, just use the pot."
"How could you use an alchemy furnace? This is an absolute waste!"
Alchemy furnaces are rare.
