Witnessing the anomaly before her, with the earth shaking and Mingyue sitting on the ground.
Even the dullest mind would realize that a rare treasure had appeared.
Perhaps the explosion just now had caused the treasure to emerge ahead of schedule.
She watched as a milky white bead slowly rose within the swirling light screen.
Once the bead was fully revealed, the moonlight that had enveloped the Moonflower Realm vanished.
The stars in the sky also disappeared, and the sun emerged, restoring normalcy.
Once again, the sky was clear and blue, with white clouds drifting leisurely, a normal sight.
Mingyue's eyes gleamed. She didn't have time to administer the antidote to the others.
Struggling to her feet, she staggered towards the light screen.
The bead was only the size of an egg, yet it radiated light.
The moonlight that had enveloped the Moonflower Realm emanated from it.
Though Mingyue's experience was limited, she knew this was an extraordinary treasure.
She approached and reached out to grab the bead.
To her surprise, the milky white bead seemed to possess a life of its own.
It even knew how to dodge, shifting three feet to the side, evading Mingyue's grasp.
"I don't believe it, I can't catch you!"
How could she let a treasure within her reach escape?
Mingyue was someone who would risk her life for wealth. She locked onto the bead's position.
With a predatory lunge, she intended to pin the bead down with her body.
However, as her body flew upwards, the bead remained still.
Just as Mingyue was about to touch it, it suddenly darted away.
Mingyue's body made forceful contact with the ground, causing her pain all over.
Yet, she still hadn't managed to secure the mischievous bead.
She got up and chased after the bead.
The bead and the person engaged in a game of cat and mouse for about fifteen minutes.
Mingyue suddenly stopped and turned towards Ji Shiyou, who was lying on the ground.
She had been too excited when she saw the treasure emerge.
She had forgotten that Ji Shiyou was currently weak in spirit and on the verge of his soul scattering.
Now, she suddenly remembered, and worry filled her heart.
Had Ji Shiyou died while she was chasing the bead?
Thinking of this, she abandoned her pursuit of the treasure and quickly returned to Ji Shiyou's side to check on him.
Fortunately, Ji Shiyou's condition had not worsened.
This brought her some relief, so she decided to use the Pear Blossom Fragrance to awaken everyone.
Saving Ji Shiyou was the priority. The bead was elusive and tricky, and she couldn't catch it immediately.
She decided to give up on the bead for now and focus on saving Ji Shiyou, a decision made with a heavy heart.
After all, she was the only one awake.
As long as she persisted, she was sure to obtain the bead.
But if she woke everyone up, with her cultivation, she would certainly have no chance with this treasure.
So her heart bled, and she muttered to herself.
"Damn Ji Shiyou, I'm saving you.
That's why I'm losing a treasure. If you get better, you'd better compensate me!"
As she held Ji Shiyou, she didn't notice.
The bead, which had been dodging everywhere, saw that she had stopped chasing.
It quietly rolled to her side and fell into Ji Shiyou's hand.
Just as Mingyue was about to wave her hand and release the Pear Blossom Fragrance.
Suddenly, she saw a bright light emanating from Ji Shiyou.
A radiance enveloped her and Ji Shiyou.
Mingyue was startled and was about to grab Ji Shiyou and run.
Then she realized she couldn't move.
A wave of dizziness washed over her, and her consciousness blurred.
Before she fainted, she glanced at the bead in Ji Shiyou's hand.
She wondered, "Is this your doing?" and then lost consciousness.
After she fell unconscious, the light from the bead in Ji Shiyou's hand intensified.
It formed a milky white cocoon around their bodies.
Inside the cocoon, the cool moonlight poured out from the bead.
It entered Mingyue's body, repairing Ji Shiyou's fractured soul caused by the soul-burning technique.
If Mingyue were awake at this moment, she would have seen.
Ji Shiyou's soul, like a candle in the wind, absorbed the moonlight.
It grew stronger, solidified, and even surpassed its state before the injury.
Ji Shiyou's cultivation also rose with the strengthening of his soul.
His cultivation level increased by more than one realm.
About fifteen minutes later, the milky white cocoon enveloping their bodies disappeared.
All the moonlight inside had been absorbed by Ji Shiyou's soul.
Mingyue slowly awoke. Before she opened her eyes,
She felt something pressing on her chest, making it difficult to breathe.
She casually pushed it away, and her breathing became smooth. She realized she could move.
Then she opened her eyes and saw in her hand.
It was the newly emerged rare treasure, the white bead.
Mingyue immediately became excited. After chasing it for so long, it had come to her effortlessly.
"You're not running anymore? Then you'll obediently follow me.
I'll give you a name. You emerged in the Moonflower Realm, so let's call you the Moonflower Bead!
You have a companion, the Moonflower Dagger. I'll introduce you."
Looking at the Moonflower Bead in her hand, which remained motionless, Mingyue still didn't dare to relax her grip.
Who knew if this cunning bead was faking its death to trick her?
So, after naming the bead, she intended to put it into her storage bag.
Only then would Mingyue feel that this item truly belonged to her.
She was terrible at naming things, so she borrowed from Ji Shiyou.
She used the name of the dagger he had given her. Additionally, she rationalized.
Saying that since it emerged in the Moonflower Realm, it should be called the Moonflower Bead.
And anything from the Moonflower Realm could have "Moonflower" in its name.
However, when she reached into her robes, her expression immediately changed.
Because she discovered that her storage bag was gone.
Her robes were empty, and there was nothing inside.
Mingyue immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Given her materialistic nature,
How could she have made such a low-level mistake and lost her storage bag?
It contained her life's savings. Losing it would be no different than losing her life.
She thought back to when she was fighting the Five Elements Demon Lord.
Her storage bag was still there, so it must have fallen out while she was chasing the Moonflower Bead.
She immediately got up, intending to search for her lost storage bag.
However, as soon as she stood up, she froze.
Because she saw Ji Shiyou on the ground, it was Ji Shiyou's body.
She immediately checked her own body and then felt a surge of joy.
Because her body, which had been swapped with Ji Shiyou's, had been swapped back!
She was now in her own body.
Her soul and body were original.
Mingyue felt fortunate and walked to Ji Shiyou's side.
She reached into Ji Shiyou's robes, took out her own storage bag, and put the Moonflower Bead inside.
Then she checked Ji Shiyou's injuries, and he had completely recovered.
She understood that it was likely the Moonflower Bead's doing.
The bead's earlier unusual behavior was probably to repair Ji Shiyou's injured soul.
For some reason, it had also corrected his misplaced soul.
The reason he hadn't woken up was that, like the others, he had been affected by the Bewitching Soul Bead's drug.
"It seems this Bewitching Soul Bead truly lives up to its name.
It bewitches the soul, not the body.
Otherwise, with the souls returned to their rightful places, I should be the one who is unconscious."
Mingyue muttered to herself. Ji Shiyou's soul had recovered.
However, because he had been unconscious and lying on her,
He had been pushed away and was covered in dust, looking rather disheveled.
"My body is back, and the treasure is in hand.
Everyone is unconscious. If not now, when?"
Looking at the unconscious Ji Shiyou, a sly smile spread across Mingyue's face.
She reached out and took Ji Shiyou's storage bag as well. She intended to leave.
"Miss, did you obtain the rare treasure that just emerged?"
Just as Mingyue put Ji Shiyou's storage bag into her robes, she heard someone behind her speak to her.
