"Oh, Cold Flood Dragon Pearls! Hehe, Fellow Daoist Fu, you certainly have deep pockets, to bring out five treasures like these at once." Turtle Thousand Years waved a hand and took one of the white pearls, a greedy gleam appearing in his two tiny, mung-bean eyes.
The others reacted with both surprise and delight.
Shen Luo picked up a Cold Flood Dragon Pearl between two fingers and immediately felt a stabbing cold. A chill raced along his fingers and through his entire body, making him shudder involuntarily. A trace of delight flashed in his eyes as he put the pearl away.
"Here are a few bottles of Spirit-Replenishing Pills, refined by Master Hai Shizhen. They can rapidly restore magic power and should allow us to operate in the Zhurong Basin for seven days, plenty of time to gather the Earthcore Fire Lotuses." Lord Fu swept his sleeve again, and five white jade bottles appeared on the table.
Shen Luo and the others each took a bottle. A brief inspection of the pills with their divine sense confirmed that they were indeed of the finest quality.
"Ahem, Fellow Daoist Fu, with these precious supplies, you've given reasonably thorough thought to our safety. That puts this old man's mind at ease. Before we set out, however, there is one more matter I must clarify: how will the Earthcore Fire Lotuses we gather be divided?" Turtle Thousand Years put away the jade bottle and spoke, his eyes flickering.
"Rest assured, Fellow Daoist Turtle. Even if you hadn't asked, I would have explained. On this trip to the Zhurong Basin, we will split the Earthcore Fire Lotuses you gather fifty-fifty. Moreover, I can refine your share into Fire Lotus Pills for you free of charge. These are immortal-grade pills, effective even for Taiyi Realm
