Inside the Immortal Estate, in a quiet courtyard piled high with gifts.
Cui Yuanxi had spent an exhausting day at the Dharma Assembly, having to offer toasts every so often. Now that she finally had a chance to rest, she lay at ease on a tree branch, swinging her lower legs.
Xiao Shi sat on a stone stool, with two long, narrow boxes on the table before her.
One was made of jade and radiated the conceptual image of a Pre-Heaven Spirit Treasure. The other was made of sandalwood, worth a considerable sum in the mortal world, but at the end of the day, it was merely a wooden box and could not compare to a Pre-Heaven True Treasure.
The former was an apology gift from the Wen River Deng Clan, while the latter was the congratulatory gift Zhang Yuan had presented that day.
Xiao Shi stared at the two boxes, then her round eyes suddenly darted toward her young mistress, who seemed utterly carefree, heedless, and without the slightest sense of danger. She giggled, stopped eating her pastries, and began scheming.
After a little thought.
"Ahem, ahem."
Xiao Shi picked up the jade box and coughed twice, clearing her throat while drawing Cui Yuanxi's attention. "Miss, look. This hairpin really is lovely."
At that, Cui Yuanxi looked over curiously.
Xiao Shi opened the jade box, revealing a jade hairpin lying quietly inside.
The jade hairpin resembled a stalk of verdant jade bamboo, its joints clearly defined. As spiritual energy flowed through it, it shone brilliantly. At first glance, it was truly beautiful.
Besides its beauty, Cui Yuanxi also noticed that this jade hairpin was a Pre-Heaven Supreme Treasure. Its wondrous effects were surely extraordinary, making it excellent whether used purely as an ornament or as an Artifact Treasure in
