Ash pondered for a while. The five elents principles are very similar with the Mana Elents that he once knew back in his ho world. Primordial Qi is the progenitor of Yin and Yang Energy and could be heated to as hot as a star or freezed into unprecedented coldness.
From that, Ash concluded in his mind that the Five Elents were the manifestations of Yin and Yang as the two energies that represent Light and Darkness.
"The question is, where or how could I cultivate elent energy? Haiyaa.. This is going to be a very long quest and one hell of a journey."
"Just take your ti. I am not in a hurry either. I understand that you are still very young, and you still have a lot to learn. However, could you get rid of the impurities that are sullying my prison. Your Primordial Qi should be enough to scorch the impurities into ashes."
"Alright then. Tell if it hurts, okay?"
Bai Suzhen flustered when she heard it. "Why would you make it sound so sensual?!"
"I’m not even trying though. You pervert snake."
"Hmph! Just do it already!"
"Alright, alright, just give a minute.
Ash then sat cross-legged, his breath slow and asured. As the world around him seed to hush in reverence, the surrounding air beca warr as his Primordial Qi enveloped the cone-shaped rock.
Slowly, the thousand years of impurities flaked away bit by bit as he ticulously controlled the temperature so as to not burn the White Jade beneath.
The process took him a total of five hours to just reveal her head. He couldn’t get any further as his Primordial Qi was almost depleted. If he ought to lose his Primordial Qi entirely, he would succumb to Qi Deviation Sickness.
Ash raised the White Jade Snake onto his eye level. "Wish! Look at you! You are so beautiful underneath these impurities!"
"Hmph! Of course I am! Even the Goddess of Heavens would turn their face in sha as I strode the Heavenly Aisle!"
"Heavenly Aisle?!" Ash was so excited to hear the lore and legends of the Immortal Beast Realm.
For him, cultivation and rise to power is essential for his survival. However, his ultimate goal was to roam this realm and beyond without being bothered after he avenged Tienxing’s death and burned Kunlun Sect to the ground.
Inside the Endless White Prison, Bai Suzhen perked her up proudly. "Yes, the Heavenly Aisle! The most sacred and grandest aisle in the entire Universe of Seven Heavens! Only the most beautiful of the most beautiful beings are allowed to step and walk on it!"
"Incredible! Such a place exists beyond this realm?!"
"Of course! Immortal Beast Realm is but a small island compared to the entire universe. But of course, the Universe of Seven Heavens is just a tiny dust amidst the Boundless Void."
At this ti, Ash felt like his mind was just blown away by the sheer scale of the entire world that he lived in. However, it didn’t make him feel small at all. In fact, it only motivated him to grow stronger and wiser so he could explore everything to his heart’s content.
"You possessed such profound knowledge and wisdom, milady!" Ash said sincerely.
"Oh, you can talk in a polite manner too. What a surprise. "
"Hmmm..." Ash noticed sothing was off. "If you have such profound knowledge and wisdom about the entire universe, how could you be imprisoned in this jade crystal? Who did this to you?"
Bai Suzhen coiled her body once again, resting her head atop her spine. "I was sealed away because I am just simply too beautiful. The Goddesses are afraid that I am going to usurp the throne with my beauty. Henceforth, I was sealed and casted away to this wretched realm."
’That explains why she had the highest evolutionary potential. Basically, she was a heavenly being for once, long before the creation of this realm.’ Ash thought inwardly.
"In any case, you will be safe with . I don’t care about the old feud between our species. Besides, I didn’t wish to be your enemy."
"I will be in your care, little bird."
At last, Bai Suzhen had cald down significantly. Likewise, Ash could finally lay down on his back in the bed and was finally able to close his eyes and fell asleep soundly.
After what seed like hours, Ash finally woke up to the loud screw of a rooster atop the roof. His head spun around due to the short sleeping ti. However, it only lasted briskly and it soon disappeared after he regulated his internal Qi.
Once he took care of his personal business in the loo, and washed his hands, Ash headed toward the dining room to grab so fresh water and had breakfast.
However, Zhu Yang and the others stood dutifully by the wall, they didn’t even dare to raise a voice and only glanced at him.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"The dining room is occupied, Young Lord."
"Occupied? By who?"
"Please go inside and see for yourself."
As he stepped to the dining room, he didn’t expect that Yunxian was already sitting in a ladylike manner at the far end of the table. Ash froze for a brief mont, trying to assimilate himself with reality.
"Miss Yunxian?"
"Yes?"
’Shit! This is not a dream huh?’
"Erm, why are you having breakfast here?"
"This guesthouse is still within my property... I can freely have breakfast anywhere I like, no?"
"Of course, Miss Yunxian."Ash smiled wryly. "Nevertheless, there must be a very good reason for this... morning visit."
"Exactly."
Soon after, Yunxian produced an invitation letter which had his na on it. It was neatly folded inside a lavishly decorated envelope.
"It just delivered this morning. From the Long River City’s Auction House. The delivery n said that the goods that you have appraised are going to be auctioned the day after tomorrow."
"That’s way sooner than I expected. Seems like Mount Wu has been itching to generate so money in shortest period of ti."
"Don’t open it yet." Yunxian held his hand gently before he opened the envelope.
"Why?"
"It’s tracked. Once you open it, the Auction House will know that you are coming. And then, they will inform the Ma Family, and so on."
"In other words, this invitation letter is a trap wire. Hmph, slick bastards."
"That said, if you open the letter and refuse to fulfil the invitation, your credibility as a Jade Grade Appraiser will be compromised since you are the number one suspect behind Ma Jun’s death."
"And I will lose my 25% percent share of royalty by default."
"Indeed... Young Lord."
