The jade pendant on Fairy Bingrong's chest looked exceptionally delicate and elegant. With a single glance, Qin Fengming could be certain that it had been carved from some kind of precious material.
That material possessed extraordinary effects, capable of calming a cultivator's soul. Worn close to the body for a long time, it could leave a cultivator clear-headed and sharp-minded.
However, this effect was still useful to low-level cultivators. For someone at Qin Fengming's level, let alone a jade pendant—even wearing Nourishing Yin Wood would no longer have much effect on him under ordinary circumstances.
Items like this were generally favored only by female cultivators, who wore them merely as adornments.
"Other than being exceptionally lustrous and translucent, with exquisite carvings, this jade pendant doesn't seem to have anything else unusual about it. I imagine it's merely Fairy Bingrong's personal ornament." After studying the jade pendant for a long while, Kou Yuxin spoke with a slight frown.
"Whether it has anything unusual about it or not, we can only be certain once we have it in hand."
Qin Fengming watched it intently and nodded slightly, but he did not give up. As he spoke, he reached toward the neck of Fairy Bingrong's skeleton.
His movements were slow and gentle, as if he did not wish to damage Fairy Bingrong's remains.
Yet just as Qin Fengming reached out to touch the jade pendant, his slowly extending hands suddenly froze in midair.
The instant Qin Fengming's hands stopped, his expression changed abruptly. Before he could even turn around, his body swayed slightly, and an afterimage shot rapidly to the side.
Only as his body moved did he suddenly cry out, "Not good—someone's here!"
Though it sounded somewhat complicated, his movements had been seamless and, to Qin Fengming, had all happened at once.
