Ye Xinping knew that Lu Zijia was really angry, so she immediately ignored the sharp pain in her abdomen and said quickly as she got up, “I’m sorry, Master. I’ll get that thing right now. I’ll get it right away. Please wait, Master. I’ll be right back. I’ll be right back.”

After saying that, Ye Xinping clutched her painful abdomen firmly, staggering and running upstairs in panic.

Lu Zijia watched her disappear into the stairs coldly and had no intention of leaving.

Every time a cultivator made a breakthrough, the area that could be covered by their deity-sense would also expand. Therefore, the area that Lu Zijia’s deity-sense could cover was more than a few times larger than it was at the beginning.

Before Ye Xinping returned, she had already released her deity-sense. Everything within a mile was under her surveillance, so she wasn’t afraid that Ye Xinping would do anything when she was away.

Three minutes later, Ye Xinping came downstairs with a small box the size of an adult man’s palm in her hands.

Feeling the spiritual energy in the small box, Lu Zijia couldn’t help feeling a bit surprised.

“Master, this is it.”

After Ye Xinping ran to Lu Zijia, she dared not to keep her hanging and she opened the lid of the small box directly.

Inside the small box was a white and slightly transparent stone. The stone was very round, like an ordinary pebble.

However, this seemingly ordinary pebble created a ripple in Lu Zijia’s heart.

Half Spirit Stone, it was a Half Spirit Stone!

The reason why it was called a Half Spirit Stone was because this kind of Half Spirit Stone only contained half of the spiritual energy a real Spirit Stone had, so it was called a Half Spirit Stone.

Cultivators in the cultivation world generally wouldn’t use Half Spirit Stones to cultivate, unless they were really too poor to afford Spirit Stones. Then, they would reluctantly choose to use Half Spirit Stones to cultivate.

However, why would there be Half Spirit Stones in this world? If there were Half Spirit Stones, would there be Spirit Stones as well?

Thinking of this, Lu Zijia couldn’t help feeling excited.

She had thought that Spirit Stones wouldn’t appear in this world with extremely thin spiritual energy, but she had unexpectedly encountered one today!

Alright, even though it was only Half Spirit Stone, the spiritual energy contained inside was much richer than in those jade stones.

“How did you get this stone?”

Lu Zijia didn’t touch the Half Spirit Stone in the box, but looked up at Ye Xinping and asked.

Ye Xinping gritted her teeth and said in the end after thinking about it, “This stone is our family’s heirloom. I remember my grandma said that this isn’t an ordinary stone.

“My grandma also said that I can’t take it out in front of outsiders, especially in front of Taoist Masters, because this stone is very useful to them.

“So, Master, as long as you help me, I’ll give you this stone. Please help me, okay? I’m begging you.”

Ye Xinping knelt down to Lu Zijia as she spoke.

Lu Zijia waved her hand casually and pushed her a few steps back before sitting on the couch.

At the same time, Ye Xinping felt that the sharp pain in her abdomen seemed to have weakened a bit.

“Master…” Seeing Lu Zijia stay silent, Ye Xinping couldn’t help feeling more nervous in her mind.

“The stone is passed down in your family, so you don’t know the origin of this stone either?” Lu Zijia stared directly in Ye Xinping’s eyes, as if she could see through her.

Ye Xinping was immediately startled in her mind and had the urge to run away, but she still gritted her teeth fiercely and repressed the fear in her mind.
