After a bout of dizziness, Luo Hong and Han Li appeared in a space shrouded on all sides by gray mist.
The place was utterly empty, save for a pitch-black giant gate directly before them!
Dense gold and silver runes flowed across the gate. Even Luo Hong, with his spiritual sense, felt dizzy when he examined them closely.
"Sure enough, it's a Sumeru Grotto-heaven!"
After scanning the surroundings, Han Li did not immediately attempt to push open the gate. Instead, he flipped his palm and brought out the Void Sky Cauldron again.
With a movement of his spiritual sense, the Void Sky Cauldron's lid flew open on its own. In a flash of azure light, a white phantom shot out.
After landing, it transformed into a cute little girl in a white dress, who appeared to be six or seven years old and wore her hair in braids.
"Qu'er, come greet your Uncle-Master Luo."
Han Li beckoned to the little girl.
"This junior, Qu'er, pays respects to Uncle-Master Luo!"
Hearing this, the little girl in white timidly stepped forward two paces and bowed to Luo Hong.
"Hehe, Junior Brother Han, you have nurtured the Nine-Bend Spirit Ginseng to such an extent. It is clear that you have put considerable care into it!
"Since that is so, I will not be stingy either. I had originally prepared this Wood Spirit Pearl for artifact refinement, but I shall give it to you as a meeting gift!"
As he spoke, Luo Hong flipped his palm, took out a lush green precious pearl from his Myriad Treasures Pouch, and tossed it toward Qu'er.
"Ah..."
The moment she sensed the spiritual qi within the precious pearl, Qu'er's eyes lit up. She instinctively reached out to catch it, but then felt that this might be improper
