This jade pendant was a family heirloom of the Shen family. It was said to have been left by an extraordinary ancestor of the Shen family.
Shen's father always rambled on about how valuable this jade pendant was. He also said that he would leave it to Shen Chuyun for his marriage.
When Shen Qing fled from the Shen family, in order to have something for self - protection, she casually stole a money bag from her father. Unexpectedly, the jade pendant was also in it.
After she came to the Qingyun Sword Sect and saw Shen Chuyun, she originally intended to give the jade pendant to him.
But when Shen Qing saw Shen Chuyun again, he was no longer the thin and small boy in her memory.
He appeared in front of Shen Qing in a moon - white brocade robe, wearing a jade crown and holding a long sword. Over the years in the Qingyun Sword Sect, he had been completely reborn.
Shen Chuyun looked indifferent. When he saw her, there was no ripple in his eyes.
At that time, Shen Qing knew that he was no longer the younger brother who had followed her in the small village and relied on her so much.
In front of all the disciples, Shen Qing was identified as having three spiritual roots.
Facing the ridicule of the disciples, Shen Qing was at a loss and subconsciously wanted to look for Shen Chuyun for comfort.
But when Shen Qing turned her head, she only met Shen Chuyun's contemptuous eyes. He turned his face away coldly, but when he talked to Lin Yibai beside him, his eyes and eyebrows were gentle.
Later, he used the tip of his sword to pick up the things Shen Qing had brought and disdainfully knocked them to the ground.
"Take these trash away. Don't let me be contaminated by your dirty mortal aura."
No matter how strong Shen Qing was, after experiencing a near - death situation and seeing her own blood - related younger brother despise her so much, she couldn't help feeling sad.
Amidst her sadness, Shen Qing put away the jade pendant, thinking that she would find another opportunity to give it to Shen Chuyun in the future.
But now, after dying once and knowing the function of the jade pendant, Shen Qing no longer intended to give it to Shen Chuyun.
She didn't want Lin Yibai to get any more good things. After all, Lin Yibai was the "vicious female supporting character"!
Shen Qing tried to pour her spiritual power into the jade pendant, but the jade pendant seemed to be surrounded by a barrier and resisted strongly.
In the original story, it didn't mention how Lin Yibai entered the small world in the jade pendant. So Shen Qing had to try all kinds of methods.
But after Shen Qing worked up a sweat, the jade pendant remained unchanged.
Finally, Shen Qing had a sudden inspiration. She remembered a magical tool that Real Person Heng Ling had obtained in the secret realm. To activate it, Real Person Heng Ling had bound it with his own blood.
Maybe the jade pendant also required the same method.
With a slight movement of her spiritual power, a drop of blood oozed from Shen Qing's fingertip.
She smeared the blood on the jade pendant. After a moment, the jade pendant suddenly glowed.
In the blink of an eye, Shen Qing's figure disappeared from the spot.
When she opened her eyes, Shen Qing had already arrived in the small world. In front of her was a dilapidated wooden house and an endless prairie.
She was in!
Shen Qing's heart was filled with joy.
The jade pendant that had been in her hand had disappeared. Instead, a jade - pendant - shaped mark appeared in her spiritual consciousness.
Shen Qing tried to activate the mark through her spiritual consciousness. Soon, she returned to her small courtyard.
Shen Qing excitedly spun around.
She finally snatched this opportunity from Lin Yibai!
In her previous life, after Lin Yibai obtained the pill - refining recipes in the jade pendant, she started to refine pills on a large scale.
Secretly, she took the resources that belonged to Shen Qing either by borrowing or robbing. And in order to test the efficacy of the pills, Lin Yibai often coaxed Shen Qing to test the pills.
Lin Yibai earned a lot of spiritual stones from this, but Shen Qing became a pill - tester.
The pills in Shen Qing's body repelled each other. Even with the spiritual bones protecting her, she still suffered from blocked veins. Every time she circulated her spiritual power, it was extremely painful.
It could be said that Lin Yibai "contributed" a lot to Shen Qing's failure to make any progress in cultivation in her previous life.
After dying once, Shen Qing finally understood that Lin Yibai had done it on purpose!
With a thought, Shen Qing entered the small space again and came to the wooden house.
The wooden house was in such a dilapidated state that it seemed to collapse at any moment.
With a "creak", Shen Qing pushed open the door.
Inside the house were rows of neatly arranged bookshelves, filled with old books. There were books on pill - refining, illusions, and all kinds of other types.
The cultivation method Shen Qing was currently practicing was the basic one of the Qingyun Sword Sect, but it didn't suit her.
Originally, with the spiritual bones in her body, Shen Qing should have made rapid progress in cultivation. But unfortunately, Real Person Heng Ling had taken half of her spiritual bones.
This made Shen Qing's body seem like it had air leaks. Once the spiritual power was absorbed into her body, it would disperse in various ways.
With the help of the system, Lin Yibai had well integrated the spiritual bones. So there was no rejection of the half of the spiritual bones in her body. Instead, Lin Yibai had used the spiritual bones to become a genius in the Qingyun Sword Sect.
No matter how much time Shen Qing spent on cultivation, it was of no use.
So, another important reason for Shen Qing to bind the jade pendant was that she hoped to find a suitable cultivation method here.
The Qingyun Sword Sect focused on sword - cultivation, but with Shen Qing's "leaky" body, her spiritual power would be exhausted after just a few sword swings. Her attack power was even weaker than that of the talisman - cultivators next door. While others could blow up a group of demons with a single talisman, Shen Qing was still gathering strength.
Just thinking about this made Shen Qing grind her teeth.
She must find an opportunity to get back the half of the spiritual bones that were on Lin Yibai!
Shen Qing climbed up and down the bookshelves, looking through the books.
She only focused on the cultivation manuals. Shen Qing didn't forget that her Dao foundation was now in a precarious state. To repair the Dao foundation, besides pills, cultivation was also needed.
But her spiritual power was not enough to repair the Dao foundation. If there was a book that could teach her how to solve this problem right now, that would be great...
Just as Shen Qing was worrying, a book suddenly fell from the bookshelf beside her.
She picked it up and saw a big title on the cover.
"Multiple Methods for Repairing the Dao Foundation and Washing the Spiritual Roots"
There was also a small line of words below: Note: Suitable for weak cultivators with poor spiritual roots.
Shen Qing was instantly speechless.
If she didn't know that she was the only one here, she would have thought that someone had been monitoring her.
Why did she get exactly what she wanted?
Shen Qing opened the book and flipped through a few pages. Her eyes immediately lit up.
This book not only taught how to repair the Dao foundation and wash the spiritual roots, but also some methods of integrating spiritual power, which were exactly suitable for her "leaky" body.
Now it was great. Her fragile Dao foundation was saved.
Shen Qing carefully put the book away and then returned to her small courtyard.
Repairing the Dao foundation would surely require seclusion. Shen Qing didn't know how long it would take her to leave seclusion. So before going into seclusion, she had to complete an important task.
That was to destroy the diary that Lin Yibai had forged, which was full of Shen Qing's "crimes".
She wouldn't give Lin Yibai any more chance to slander her!
Shen Qing didn't know that after she left the small world in the jade pendant, a transparent and faint figure appeared in front of the wooden house.
He let out a soft sigh and then disappeared from the spot.
