Meng Qingying's eyes widened as she stared at Qin Yi as though he were an immortal.
Feeling the stone bead resonate with her own aura, Meng Qingying was utterly certain. This was it.
This was too absurd.
Something she had lost for tens of thousands of years after the great battle in her previous life could never possibly have been found in this life. If one deliberately searched for it, finding a stone bead amid the vast Three Realms? The odds might not even be one in a trillion.
But where had he gotten it?
Even if Qin Yi had obtained it by chance, how had he known it corresponded to this place?
Qin Yi said oddly, "It can't really be this, can it?"
Meng Qingying nodded. "Where did you get it?"
Qin Yi said, "A long time ago, at a Treasure Appraisal Conference in the East Sea, someone brought this out. We identified it as something used in mechanisms like these, embedded in the mouths of beasts. When you mentioned embedding it in the mouth just now, I thought of it... Though how did you people use such a cliché setup back then? It has no style at all."
Meng Qingying's mouth twitched.
That was because we invented this kind of setup in the first place, all right? Back then it was one of a kind and brimming with style. It only became cliché after everyone else copied it too much, all right?
"Besides, this thing looks utterly ordinary. Other than not knowing what material it's made of, it has no special properties at all..." Qin Yi turned the bead over and over in his hand for quite a while before saying, "At my current level of cultivation, I still can't sense any Spiritual Energy from it..."
Only then
