130: Chapter 7: Unconventional Turtle Bead {VIP Chapter 5}_2 130: Chapter 7: Unconventional Turtle Bead {VIP Chapter 5}_2 “The aroma is pleasant, seldom do pearls have a scent.” Avril picked up the Turtle Bead giving it a sniff, “In terms of texture, it certainly cannot compare to the Night Pearl contributed by Richard’s Dragon Ball.
Not only does Richard’s Dragon Ball provide a noctilucent bead, but kept close, it also keeps warm in winter and cool in summer.
This Turtle Bead certainly can’t match it.
The reflection from the Turtle Bead reveals soft light, but lacks inner brilliance.
In summary, it’s just an ordinary bead.
When I was at the bottom of the sea, I could randomly find a bead better than this one in clam boxes.”
“Really?” Helen squatted down, touching the coarse tortoise shell and carefully counting the rings.
The newly received Komodo War Behemoth also craned over its immensely large head, continuously sniffing at it, rolling the uneaten turtle leg back into its mouth to chew.
“This model tortoise is over a thousand years old.
How could the Turtle Bead’s quality be poor?
The quality of a five hundred years or older Turtle Bead is considered pretty good.” Helen said.
“What would you know?
I’ve seen more pearls than the dirt you’ve kicked up!” Avril and Helen were always at odds, constantly bickering.
“You…” Helen was furious, turning her gaze towards Liu Zhenhan.
Whether it’s good or not, I’ll make Helen a hairpin with this bead next time I go to Witherspoon.
The bead is fragrant, and so is Helen, they’re a perfect match!” Liu Zhenhan winked at Helen, giving her an accomplished smile.
That caused Helen to feel quite smug, continuously side-eyeing Avril.
Avril’s lips moved for quite a while but she couldn’t muster any words, her mouth looked like it was constantly muttering something about “partiality”.
“Sir, may I interject?” The Halfling elder raised his baby face and tugged at Liu Zhenhan’s robe.
“Star-Tailed Turtles are indeed rare.
Their favorite food is the Wine-Scented Lily,” said the Halfling elder.
“As Hobbit Halflings, we’re born as brewers.
The rum that we produce is precisely made from the Wine-Scented Lily.
We can proudly claim that our understanding of the Wine-Scented Lily supersedes our understanding of ourselves.
The flower and plant of Wine-Scented Lily are imbued with the most natural and authentic alcohol.
The alcohol consumed from the Wine-Scented Lily in the Star-Tailed Turtle’s life is sealed within this Turtle Bead.
Their most adept usage of the ‘Intoxicating Cloud’ Qi magic is also stimulated by this Turtle Bead.”
“Oh my, this model turtle is a thousand years old.
How many Wine-Scented Lilies did it eat in its lifetime?” Liu Zhenhan gasped, feeling relieved that they didn’t give the model tortoise any opportunity, beating the magical beast to death with random blows before it could use its magic.
Otherwise, the model’s effect of ‘Intoxicating Cloud’ could have gotten everyone drunk.
“To give such a Turtle Bead to a Hobbit Halfling is akin to handing him the world!” The Halfling elder blinked his tiny, sparkling, greedy eyes, focusing intently on the Turtle Bead in Liu Zhenhan’s hand.
“This exceptional grade of the Star-Tailed Turtle Bead is a holy product, refining the essence of the ‘Wine-Scented Lily’ wine after condensing the years’ worth of alcohol.
Even if this bead is soaked in a cup of water overnight, the water will transform into strong liquor.
If it was given to us Halflings for brewing, this bead can produce the most exquisite liquor in the world.”
Everyone around was moved.
Who would have thought this unassuming Turtle Bead could have such an extraordinary effect.
“We’re in for a windfall!” Liu Zhenhan now dreams about drinking all the time.
Last time he dined with Prince Richard, the meal was meager.
Just as Liu Zhenhan was about to order some Malt Wine from the waitress, the Prince recited some knight’s ordinance and deprived him of the pleasure.
“My lord, could I…” The Halfling elder’s eyes were full of yearning as he tremblingly stretched out his hand.
“Impossible.” Liu Zhenhan plainly declined him.
The Halfling elder’s eyes immediately dimmed.
He blamed his own greed, but couldn’t control himself.
This Turtle Bead to the Hobbit Halfling is like a dwarf seeing a mine composed of legendary Jing Gold or Mithril.
Ning Yu quietly pinched Liu Zhenhan’s arm, her face bearing a reproachful look.
“We’ve reaped a decent harvest this time, I guess we won’t all have to go to Southern Cross Star Forest.” Liu Zhenhan said, “It’s better if I go to the Southern Cross Star Forest alone.
The Komodo War Behemoth’s size is too big and slow, and Helen lacks the Medusa Badge awarded by the temple.
It would be inconvenient to climb mountains and cross rivers together.
You all can head back, and I’ll make a loop to the Ink Crystal valley alone, finish the transfer with the military station, and finalize the errand.”
“The temple hasn’t even issued the Medusa Badge to you?” Robert found it unbelievable.
How could the temple dare to let two rites that don’t even have a large magical beast run amok in the Southern Cross Star Forest?
As far as the temple’s concern, even this white robe was poached, so how on earth would they give me a Medusa Badge.
Liu Zhenhan secretly chuckled.
“Robert!” Liu Zhenhan pulled out a cigar and handed it to the wolf man. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on ɴovelfire.net
“Of course.” The wolf man nodded formally, “It’s an honor for Sharoman to be friends with several brave rites.”
