"I need to quickly grasp dark strength to increase my power."
Chen Jichuan felt an added sense of urgency.
He calmed his mind.
His gaze shifted to the package that Chen Shaohu had carried back.
Taking two steps forward, he opened it to reveal today's spoils—excluding the Spiritual Dates and Spiritual Jujube Tree.
Chen Shaohu's sharp eyes noticed it immediately.
He spotted a more exquisite silk pouch inside, grabbed it excitedly, and said, "Such a beautiful pouch! The treasures inside must be immensely valuable."
Chen Jichuan watched attentively.
He recognized the pouch as something retrieved earlier today from Xu Lang, the only fourth-grade master among the six Feiying Hall members of the Lishui Gang he had killed. When he casually inspected it earlier, he'd found two marble-sized pearls inside.
"They might be pearls."
Chen Jichuan chuckled.
"Pearls?"
