Chapter 65 Discovering the Beads

The Jade Hall of Taiji Palace is like a dazzling gem inlaid between heaven and earth. Its decorations are all made of jade, which makes it look noble and mysterious. Above the door of the hall hangs a huge jade lintel, which is carved with purple phoenix and auspicious cloud patterns with smooth lines and lifelike. The sunlight shines through the gaps in the lintel, casting mottled light and shadows, making the entire door of the hall sparkle.

When you enter the hall, the first thing that catches your eye is a jade screen carved from a whole piece of jade. The screen is carved with landscapes, flowers and birds, and every stroke is so delicate that you can almost hear the sound of birds and water and smell the fragrance of flowers and grass. On both sides of the screen are two jade mythical beasts, which are majestic and powerful, with piercing eyes, as if they are guarding the peace of the entire Yuli Hall.

The floor of the hall is paved with thick jade tiles, each of which has been carefully polished, smooth as a mirror, reflecting a soft luster. Between the tiles, gold threads are inlaid, forming exquisite patterns, which not only add to the magnificence of the hall, but also make it solemn and elegant.

In the center of the hall, there was a jade throne with intricate rune patterns carved on it. Around the throne, there were several jade round tables and chairs for people to rest and drink tea.

The walls of the hall are inlaid with jade decorations of various shapes, some of which resemble flowers, and some of which resemble birds and animals. They are colorful and crystal clear, adding a lot of vitality to the entire Jade Ceremony Hall.

In addition, there are several jade palace lanterns hanging in the hall, with exquisite patterns carved on the lampshades and lamp posts made of polished jade. When night falls, the palace lanterns light up, and the soft light shines through the jade lampshades and sprinkles throughout the hall, creating a warm and mysterious atmosphere.

At this moment, Jun Ye was sitting in the Jade Hall, on a jade chair, his figure looked solemn and majestic. The jade decorations in the hall were dazzling and glittering. He narrowed his eyes slightly, gently stroked the jade cup in his hand, and sipped the fragrant tea. The fragrance of tea curled around him, which seemed to add a bit of mystery and majesty to him.

The jade maiden wearing a purple phoenix hairpin walked into the palace with light steps. With respect and awe on her face, she walked to the Lord, bowed her head, and reported in a clear voice: "Lord, the jade maiden Zi Yan insisted that it was the spirit outside the palace, Guo Lingli, who offended the majesty of the Jade Maiden Palace, so she was punished."

Upon hearing this, Lord Jun frowned slightly, put down the jade cup in his hand, and looked sharply at the Jade Maiden in charge of the ceremony. From her choice of words, it was clear that she was more biased towards her subordinates. He spoke slowly, his voice low and powerful: "Since you are a spirit outside the palace, why do you have to abide by the rules of the Jade Maiden Palace?"

The Jade Maiden in charge of ceremonies was intimidated by Lord Jun's majesty, and a trace of panic flashed across her face. She stammered and replied, "Zi Yan just felt that Guo Lingli's behavior was a little inappropriate, so she decided that she had offended the majesty of the Jade Maiden Palace."

After hearing this, Jun Ye asked back, "Do you believe it yourself?"

The Jade Maiden in charge of ceremonies was horrified. She knew the rules of the Jade Maiden Palace. If it was just a small matter, Zi Yan would not risk violating the palace rules and make such a big fuss. It seemed that there must be something hidden.

She knelt down quickly and said firmly: "Please give me another chance, Master."

Lord Jun frowned slightly. Since Zi Yan refused to tell the truth, there was no need for her to stay in the Jade Maiden Palace. He decided to thoroughly investigate the matter and not allow any concealment or deception. He waved his hand and asked the Jade Maiden to leave.

Another jade maiden came to see the owner. She walked lightly and gracefully, and also wore a noble purple phoenix hairpin. The purple phoenix was carved lifelike, as if it would flap its wings and fly away at any time, and in its mouth, it actually held a small purple Ganoderma lucidum, which added a bit of mystery and elegance to the entire hairpin.

She stepped forward, bowed respectfully to the Lord, and then reported in a clear voice: "Lord, the abnormal phenomenon in the lotus pond has been investigated, and no fish or flowers were lost. I guess the spirit that caused this situation should be a kind-hearted spirit. In addition, there is one more thing to report. Guo Lingli, a person outside the palace, was thrown into the Gangfeng Well by the etiquette-keeping Jade Maiden Zi Yan, and abnormalities appeared in the well. If the judgment is correct, these abnormal phenomena should be related to Guo Lingli, the spirit outside the palace who entered the Jade Maiden Palace today. Please make the decision, Lord."

After listening to the report from the Jade Maiden, Lord Jun smiled with satisfaction. He nodded and said in a deep and powerful voice, "Very good, you have always been prudent in your work. The punishment of the Etiquette Jade Maiden Zi Yan will be left to you. She should be punished in the same way as she punished others."

Upon hearing this, the Jade Girl in charge of the business was surprised at the harshness of the Lord's punishment, but her face did not show any strange expression. She knew that the Lord's majesty could not be violated, and she also understood her responsibilities. So, she bowed her head, accepted the order, and quietly withdrew.

In the Jade Maiden Palace, the Jade Maiden in Charge of Etiquette and the Jade Maiden in Charge of Industry have high status, but their duties are different. The Jade Maiden in Charge of Etiquette is mainly responsible for maintaining the etiquette and order in the palace, while the Jade Maiden in Charge of Industry is in charge of all matters in the palace, including punishing those who make mistakes. If the Jade Maiden in Charge of Etiquette punishes the Jade Maiden who made a mistake, then although this Jade Maiden will be punished, she will still be a member of the Taiji Palace and retain her identity as a Jade Maiden. But if the Jade Maiden in Charge of Industry punishes her, it means that all traces of her Taiji Palace Jade Maiden will be erased, her immortal bones will be removed, her immortal energy will be gathered, and she will be sent down to the mortal world, and she will never be allowed to enter the immortal world again.

Although the head maiden felt a little reluctant, she also understood that this was a necessary move to maintain the rules of the Jade Maiden Palace. She walked out of Lord Jun's bedroom, took a deep breath of fresh air, and then walked towards the place where the jade maidens who made mistakes were punished. She knew that what happened next would shock the entire Jade Maiden Palace.

At the same time, Guo Lingli was using the array beads to resist the suction of the black hole. She activated the array beads in her palm, and the light emitted by the array beads successfully blocked the suction of the black hole.

At the same time, she also used the seed stimulating technique to continuously plant seeds, then pull them out and leave holes. Her movements were extremely skillful and agile. She was petite, after all, she was only seven years old, and she quickly dug a large hole to hide in. She hid in it and found that there was no suction on the wall of the hole, so she took back the array beads and continued her "planting business".

She followed the direction that was comfortable for her, planting seeds and digging holes, leaving a hole on the wall that was big enough for her to live in. She dug carefully, fearing that she would disturb something. Suddenly, her fingers touched a hard object, and she carefully took it out, and found that it was a crystal clear bead with fairy spirit.

This bead is like a star in the deep night sky, shining with a faint light. The surface of the bead presents a light blue luster, as if it contains endless wisdom and mystery, which makes people feel awe.

It is of moderate size, just right to hold in the palm of your hand, and feels as smooth as jade, as if there is a mysterious power flowing quietly. The beads emit a soft light, which is like a dream, as if telling an ancient and mysterious legend.

Guo Lingli was pleasantly surprised. She held the bead in her hand and felt a warm current flowing into her body, making her feel more comfortable. She knew that this bead must be extraordinary, and perhaps it had the same magical uses as the array bead on her body, but she just didn't know it yet.
