She widened her eyes and glared at He Ling fiercely, her voice a little hoarse and angry: "Ahem...you...why didn't you tell me that this was wine?"

He Ling's expression remained unchanged, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he replied slowly: "I told you, I have no water here."

Yu Linglong's face turned red instantly. She wanted to argue a few more times, but after thinking carefully, she realized that the current situation was not in her favor and it would be useless to say more.

She closed her mouth helplessly, thinking to herself that this Junior Sister Ling was probably blaming herself for taking her Qing Xin Lian before.

At this time, she was extremely thirsty and her throat was dry, as if it was about to smoke.

Looking at the empty bottle of wine in her hand, her throat moved unconsciously, but she could only swallow a mouthful of dry air.

She was so thirsty that she hesitated for a moment, but finally brought the bottle to her lips and took two cautious sips.

There wasn't much wine left in the bottle, so she drank it all in two gulps. After finishing, she looked at the wine she had just spit out on the ground with some regret.

"Junior Sister Ling..." Although Yu Linglong already knew her real name, she still preferred to call her Junior Sister Ling. After all, calling her that way still made her feel like He Ling was a member of the Tiankui Sect.

After she finished speaking, she glanced at He Ling. Seeing that she had no reaction, Yu Linglong continued.

"Junior Sister Ling, have you dealt with Xiaozhu?"

He Ling glanced at the direction where the small bead fell outside the cave. The small bead had basically been motionless from the time it fell until now. It seemed that the power in it should have been exhausted.

"It should be resolved, Yu Linglong. If you have anything to say, just tell me directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

Seeing her intentions being seen through, Yu Linglong only chuckled slightly. "It's like this, Junior Sister Ling. In order to open the array disk, I forced myself to use a secret method to gain spiritual power. Now I'm seriously injured and can't use any of my spiritual power. Without spiritual power, I naturally can't open this storage bag. So I wanted to ask Junior Sister Ling for some healing pills."

He Ling glanced at Yu Linglong, but did not refuse. She was seriously injured and would not recover in a short time. Moreover, her magic weapon was destroyed. Now she looked so pitiful that she really had no ability to pose a threat to him.

With a slight movement of her fingers, a small white porcelain bottle floated towards her.

Yu Linglong took the pill, thanked He Ling, and quickly sat down to meditate and regulate her breathing. She had basically no ability to protect herself now. Although she had He Ling's protection, she was still more or less panicked.

After a while, He Ling opened her eyes. Her spiritual power had been fully restored. Now she could go and check on the orange-yellow bead.

As soon as she stood up, Yu Linglong didn't even bother to meditate, and stood up immediately. Her injuries would take ten days or half a month to recover. Now that she was out of He Ling's protection, she would most likely die if she encountered any danger.

"You stay here. I'm going to go to where the little bead fell just now."

After hearing this, Yu Linglong didn't argue anymore. Instead, she looked at He Ling with a little worry and said, "Junior Sister Ling, be careful in everything."

He Ling nodded, released a flying sword, and rushed towards the place where Xiaozhu fell.

In less than a moment, we arrived at the destination.

The small bead smashed a small dent in the ground, and the orange-yellow bead in the dent no longer had the same breeze as before. The original bright orange-yellow color had become lighter, and there was a lot of dirt on it. It didn't look like the powerful bead before, but more like an ordinary object.

He Ling was still cautious. He moved his hand and produced a talisman. When he crushed it, a fireball as big as a washbasin rushed towards Xiaozhu.

He did this more than ten times, until the surrounding soil was burned red, but the little bead still didn't react at all.

Afterwards, He Ling slowly approached Xiaozhu, taking two steps forward and three steps back. It took him most of the day before he finally got close to Xiaozhu.

The object control technique was activated, and the small bead floated up without any resistance, and circled around He Ling again. Only then did she confirm that the small bead had really lost its power.

A white light first emerged from He Ling's body, and then a layer of black lines covered it. Then he stretched out his white jade-like palm and grabbed the small bead.

Xiaozhu still didn't react at all. After He Ling fiddled with it between her fingers for a while, she finally felt relieved.

He Ling brought the little bead in front of her and looked at it carefully. Although she had seen it several times before, most of the time she just glanced at it in a hurry. It was very different from the situation now where it was lying obediently in He Ling's palm.

The beads are about the size of a pigeon egg and are yellow in color. They are covered with various yellow lines of varying shades. When He Ling first saw these lines, she thought they were randomly distributed, but after looking at them for a long time, she found that they seemed to be arranged according to a certain pattern, but she couldn't tell what the specific pattern was.

Apart from this, there is nothing magical about this small bead. After carefully scanning the small bead, He Ling gathered his spiritual thoughts and penetrated into the small bead.

At first, He Ling's spiritual consciousness felt like it had touched a glass bead. After searching for several times, it could not find a place to penetrate. Then it realized that there was still a large amount of residual spiritual consciousness covering the small bead, blocking the small bead completely. No wonder its spiritual consciousness could not find a place to penetrate the small bead.

He Ling suddenly realized that this must be the resentment of the three-headed flame lion.

Before it died, it spewed out a breath of its own true flame and also let a large amount of its spiritual consciousness reside in the small bead. Then the small bead chased and killed everyone.

However, although the resentment was strong, it was ultimately just water without a source. He Ling's spiritual power was strong to begin with, and after flushing it more than ten times, he finally washed away the resentment that resided in it.

The divine consciousness entered the small bead, and the next moment He Ling received a burst of information in his mind.

"Fire Swallowing Pearl?" He Ling was shocked.

He began to speculate in his heart, "Could it be that this little bead is not a treasure conceived naturally by the three-headed flame lion?"

After all, the information transmitted from the orb was too much like a magic weapon refined by human monks.

But if that's the case, then it makes sense why the three-headed flame lion is so powerful and why the little bead is so powerful.

He Ling continued to receive the information from the small bead in his mind, and then frowned.

According to the information, although the Fire-Swallowing Pearl is powerful, its energy consumption is also extremely high. And as you can hear from its name, it can only absorb flames. If it cannot find a lung-forming place like this one, and absorbs fire energy over the years, its power will probably be reduced to only one tenth of what it was.

The three-headed flame lions had already used up all the energy that the orb had accumulated over the past few decades. Now the orb was empty. If it were used against the enemy, it would probably not even be as good as a top-grade spiritual weapon.

"This...this...is really unexpected to me."
