Former Interstellar Mercenary In Urban Cultivation World-Chapter 1369: The Fourth Pearl
Chapter 1369: The Fourth Pearl
Soon, Ryusoo Jin arrived.
Ryusoo Jin knew why Amalia had come.
Although he had agreed to give her the Pearl initially, he had considered backing out.
However, after witnessing her decisiveness in killing Kishi’s clone, he no longer dared to go back on his word.
"Ryusoo Jin, it’s time to fulfill your promise," Amalia said, looking at the somewhat hesitant Ryusoo Jin.
Ryusoo Jin hesitated, then said, "Miss Amalia, the Water Pearl is a precious treasure of my tribe, and we don’t easily give it to outsiders..."
Amalia gazed at him. "So you want to go back on your word?"
Sensing the pressure in the air, Ryusoo Jin froze. He quickly explained, "No, since I’ve promised, I will hand over the Water Pearl. However, even if you possess some of the Water Pearls, if you can’t gather all five, it would be useless."
"The other two, I’ll acquire on my own. There’s no need to trouble you about that."
Ryusoo Jin understood that it would be pointless to delay further.
He reluctantly took out the Water Pearl and handed it over.
"The Water Pearl is inside this box."
Amalia took the box and opened it.
A soft blue light radiated from within.
Sensing the powerful water element, she confirmed that this was indeed the genuine Water Pearl.
"Thank you. I’ll take my own leave now."
Ryusoo Jin wanted to say something, but in the end, remained silent.
After leaving the Water Vein Tribe, Amalia went directly back to the Fire Vein Tribe while keeping the Water Pearl in her hand.
When Yeom Hwaun saw her return, he noticed the box in her hand and immediately sensed the Water Pearl inside.
His expression grew complex as he recalled Elder Yeom’s warnings earlier.
Thanks to Amalia, they had been able to kill the devils responsible for harming his father.
Without Amalia’s help, they wouldn’t have been able to kill Geumho Seungjae and Toyun Kangmin.
Moreover, Kishi’s appearance at the end made it clear that the plot against his father likely involved him as well.
He couldn’t even kill Geumho Seungjae and Toyun Kangmin, let alone Kishi.
Yeom Hwaun had now figured it all out.
Although Ryusoo Jin and Namgu Jaeun were also among the perpetrators, they were at most accomplices.
He couldn’t act against them now, but there was no rush.
The future was long, and he wasn’t eager to recklessly go after them to avenge his father.
When he became stronger in the future, he would personally take revenge by himself.
"Miss Amalia, do you have time now? May I speak with you for a moment?" Yeom Hwaun came before Amalia.
"Sure." Amalia had an inkling of what he wanted to ask.
Yeom Hwaun immediately took her to his tent, where he brewed tea and offered it to her.
"This is our tribe’s spiritual tea; please give it a try."
Amalia picked up a cup of tea and took a light sip. "It’s good tea. What do you want to discuss?"
Yeom Hwaun took out an item, somewhat similar to the box Amalia held. "This is a gift from the Fire Vein Tribe for saving us. Please accept it."
When Amalia saw what he was holding, she understood immediately.
They must have realized that the Water, Earth, and Metal Pearls were now in her possession.
They would certainly come for the Fire Pearl next, so they had prepared this gift in advance.
It was a thoughtful move.
"Well, I won’t be polite then," Amalia said without hesitation.
"Miss Amalia, the Wood Pearl from the Wood Vein Tribe may not be so easily obtained," Yeom Hwaun said, hesitating.
"Oh?" Amalia raised an eyebrow.
"The Wood Pearl is extremely important to the Wood Vein Tribe. They excel at healing various injuries, including severe injuries to the primordial spirit. As long as the Wood Pearl is present, no injury is beyond healing. Once they lose it, they lose their greatest advantage," Yeom Hwaun explained.
The Wood Vein Tribe wasn’t as strong as the other four tribes in terms of combat power, so they were considered more neutral.
Because of their unique healing advantage, no other tribe wanted to make enemies of them.
"I see," Amalia nodded.
Yeom Hwaun continued, "As for the treasure behind the Five Elemental Pearls, it’s actually a legend within the Five Vein Tribe. No one knows if it’s true, and even if it is, the treasure may not necessarily be suitable for you."
"Whether it’s suitable or not, we’ll find out once I gather all five Elemental Pearls."
Amalia hadn’t initially been able to force the collection of all five Elemental Pearls, but the devils had served as the greatest catalyst.
The devils’ determined attitude toward the Elemental Pearls made her realize they must have some significant use.
Otherwise, the devils wouldn’t have spent two years planning, possibly even longer.
"By the way, the devils may soon send even stronger reinforcement. You should prepare," Amalia said.
Yeom Hwaun froze for a moment. "With the strongest of the Five Vein Tribe dead or injured, if the devils really send stronger ones, it will be difficult for us to hold our ground."
"Can’t you go into the Devil Battlefield? Go to the human cities and find strong cultivators, or even visit the cities guarded by the Green Lotus Sect. As long as you mention my name, they should send help."
Yeom Hwaun had his doubts, but upon hearing this, he was finally convinced—Amalia was indeed a disciple of Tian Wuya.
"Miss Amalia, can I become as strong as you in the future?" he couldn’t help but ask.
After the battle in Copperstone Region, alongside the fame of Tian Wuya, the two top experts’ disciples had also become well-known.
Yeom Hwaun had heard that these disciples, though young, had reached incredible levels of cultivation.
In the human world, they were on par with Kishi’s status among the devils.
If he had Amalia’s cultivation, perhaps he would have already avenged his father.
Amalia didn’t expect this question and chuckled. "I heard from Elder Yeom that your talent in a certain cultivation path is quite good. It’s just that, when your father was still alive, you didn’t put in much effort."
