"The formation spirit was already a sentient being. It wasn't any stupider than you," Ling Xiaoxiao huffed. "It just never expected that you'd get your hands on something so precious."
As she spoke, her slender fingers naturally tapped Bi Fan's chest. Clearly, she had already sensed the special object there.
Bi Fan smiled. Knowing she meant the Divine Soul Crystal Stone, he reached into his robes and took it out. The scattered flecks of red light that had once floated inside had vanished, leaving behind a single crystal-clear stone that rippled faintly with pure Soul Power.
"Is this a Divine Soul Crystal Stone?" Ling Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes slightly, sensing the fluctuations within it. She guessed correctly at a glance.
He nodded with a smile. "But it isn't mine. Boyun found it once, and I borrowed it for protection while breaking the Candle Sky Divine Sha Formation."
"Found it?" Ling Xiaoxiao was briefly taken aback.
"Right." He smiled as well and explained, "At the time, he thought it was just a pretty pendant and carried it around. He never imagined it had such an impressive origin."
Ling Xiaoxiao gave a helpless huff. "He really is a fool with a fool's luck. But now that I think about it, wasn't he traveling separately from our main group? How did he suddenly end up here?"
"I'm not quite sure myself." Bi Fan rubbed his head with a wry smile. "By the time I found him, he was unconscious inside the Candle Sky Divine Sha Formation, with the Divine Soul Crystal Stone on him. I guess he stumbled in by chance, and the crystal protected him, so he came through unharmed."
Ling Xiaoxiao nodded silently. That explanation did make sense. Still, she couldn't help marveling at how lucky that fellow was. Anything else
