After the appraisal was completed, he received two rewards.

Chen Shaojun was already satisfied.

His preparations were not in vain.

However, when he looked at the treasure he had appraised, his eyes couldn’t help but flicker.

The jade ruyi itself was fine.

However, there was a pearl embedded in the jade ruyi.

It was an Elemental Spirit Pearl!

It was a Low-Grade Treasure item.

It could allow one to accumulate their spirit, gather their aura, refine their body, increase their lifespan, and establish their foundation…

“This is most definitely a rare treasure.”

Chen Shaojun knew very well that the appraisal of the Psychic Treasure Mirror had never been wrong.

Since it was said that the Elemental Spirit Pearl had these effects, then it couldn’t be fake.

Among them, just the aspects of spirit accumulation and aura gathering were enough to make people envious.

Furthermore, the Elemental Spirit Pearl could allow one to refine their body, increase their lifespan, and establish their Dao foundation…

Chen Shaojun intended to hide this treasure.

After all, the scar-faced man with the surname Peng was not a good person. He was originally one of Zhao Quan’s good friends. However, because he had taken a fancy to this treasure, he decided to kill Zhao Quan.

Zhao Quan might be related to the previous master of the jade ruyi. He might even be the nephew of the previous master.

However, the jade ruyi did not belong to him.

Chen Shaojun hesitated slightly.

If he did not seize this opportunity from the heavens, he would be punished instead.

There was no way he would miss out on something that could strengthen his foundation.

In any case, he only needed to ensure that the jade ruyi was intact and that the Elemental Spirit Pearl did not shatter.

At most, he would leave behind a trace of elemental power to ensure that the treasure remained intact.

“There’s not much time left. I have to hurry.”

Chen Shaojun looked at the sky outside.

Shen Lang knew that the scar-faced man with the surname Peng should be waiting in the pawnshop for the treasure. Shen Lang would come to the appraisal room at any time to urge him.

He hurriedly picked up the jade ruyi.

At that moment, the jade ruyi had lost all its baleful aura. The jade had become warm and comfortable in his hands.

It was no wonder many wealthy families liked to play with jade. This kind of jade was crystal clear, smooth, warm, and refreshing. It was a great pleasure to touch.

Without much emotion, Chen Shaojun channeled his spiritual power into the Elemental Spirit Pearl. Immediately, a special spiritual energy was triggered and turned into a stream of water that flowed into his body.

Then, Chen Shaojun shuddered.

Immediately, he felt a ferocious, powerful, and overbearing force that wanted to completely destroy his body. This force seemed to be filled with infinite vitality. At the same time, it was doing its best to repair his body.

The moment this power entered his body, it rushed to every part of his body.

Sizzle…

He felt as if he was being cooked in a pot of oil, but it also felt like he was being refined in flames. Chen Shaojun could clearly feel a distinctive kind of pain.

The destructive and tyrannical power slowly scattered his skin, flesh, blood, meridians, and bones… Then, little by little, it repaired and reformed his body.

There was pain, itchiness, and sourness… Then, he felt a warmth, as if he had entered his mother’s womb.

Chen Shaojun continued to absorb the elemental power from the Elemental Spirit Pearl. At the same time, he constantly endured the simultaneous assaults of both pain and pleasure.

He felt that he was undergoing a metamorphosis and welcoming a new life.

…

It seemed like a long time had passed.

At the same time, it felt as if only an instant had passed.

He felt that there was a sense of emptiness from the Elemental Spirit Pearl. In fact, it faintly felt as if it was about to collapse. Only then did he stop the absorption process.

“It feels as if my bones are made out of gold and my muscles are made out of jade. The body tempering was a success.”

“My spirit and qi have fused to establish my Dao foundation.”

Chen Shaojun slowly opened his eyes and carefully sensed the changes in his body. He could not help but feel emotional.

At this moment, he clearly felt that he was different.
