This kind of cold feeling was very strong, making Qin Hai feel as if he had suddenly walked into an icehouse. A bone-piercing chill immediately came from all directions and tightly wrapped around him. It didn"t matter how many clothes he wore, even Qin Hai was caught off guard by this strong chill.
However, as the true essence within his body stirred up by itself, all of the coldness was instantly expelled from his body. No matter how cold it was, it was unable to invade his body in the slightest.
At this moment, a slight fluctuation appeared on the chest of both Zeng Rou and Xia Meng Xin. Qin Hai looked carefully and saw that Zeng Rou had a jade pendant that he gave her. The array formation on the jade pendant must have started on its own to help Zeng Rou resist the cold air.
Seeing that Qin Hai was curiously staring at Xia Mengxin"s chest, Zeng Rou secretly curled her lips. She thought that Qin Hai"s lechery had acted up again, so she couldn"t help but pinch him. Xia Meng Xin"s face also turned red as she looked away awkwardly. It was obvious that she had misunderstood Qin Hai just like Zeng Rou. As for Shang Qiushan, this brat was like a curious baby as he looked around, completely not noticing the situation of the other three.
"Miss Xia, are you wearing something like a jade pendant?"
Qin Hai"s words caused Xia Mengxin to be stunned for a moment. She quickly realized that she had misunderstood Qin Hai and a shy blush appeared on her face. She then took off the jade pendant on her chest and pa.s.sed it to Qin Hai, "Are you talking about this?"
From the moment Xia Mengxin took out the jade pendant, Qin Hai felt a slight fluctuation from the pendant. When he took the pendant, the feeling became even stronger.
It was a very beautiful jade pendant with a flying phoenix carved on it. The carving was very exquisite and the phoenix was very lifelike. Judging from the quality of the pendant, it must have been around for quite a while, so it was definitely worth a lot of money.
According to Xia Mengxin, the Xia family was also one of the ancient martial families, so it wasn"t surprising that Xia Mengxin wore a jade pendant worth several million yuan. Qin Hai was surprised to find that this jade pendant was also engraved with an array.
The formations on the jade pendant were extremely complicated. With Qin Hai"s current understanding of formations, he could only recognize three types of formations. There had to be other formations as well. What"s more, the person who carved this jade pendant had actually fused the formation technique with the design on the pendant. If one wasn"t very familiar with the formation technique, they wouldn"t be able to see any clues.
To be able to set up so many formations within a square inch of s.p.a.ce and even allow them to coexist harmoniously, this sculptor must be an incredible formation master.
Qin Hai couldn"t help asking curiously, "Where did you get this piece of jade?"
Xia Mengxin said, "This was given to me by grandfather on my tenth birthday. I heard it was a heirloom of our Xia Family."
After hesitating for a bit, Xia Meng Xin continued, "My grandfather said that this jade pendant was a rare treasure a long time ago. As long as you wear it, you don"t have to be afraid of fire and water, you can save lives in critical moments. If you like it, I"ll give it to you. "
"Not afraid of fire and water? Is there really such a miraculous thing in this world? " Zeng Rou came over and looked curiously at the jade pendant in Qin Hai"s hand. She didn"t quite believe Xia Mengxin"s words.
Xia Meng Xin said, "Grandpa told me this, I don"t know if it"s true or not. After all, the jade pendant is now broken, there"s no way to prove it."
Qin Hai pondered for a while and suddenly said, "What your grandpa said might be true. And this jade pendant is not wasted. It just lacks a little life."
Xia Meng Xin was startled. "Life force?"
Qin Hai did not explain what life force was. He held the jade pendant in his hand and slowly infused primeval essence into it. Suddenly, the jade pendant began to emit a gentle white light.
As the amount of true essence that Qin Hai transferred into the jade pendant increased, the white light also gradually became brighter. When the white light became dazzling, it was as if there was a clear cry of a bird, and then a phoenix flew out from the jade pendant.
After the phoenix disappeared, Qin Hai stopped channeling his true essence into the jade pendant. The dazzling white light on the jade pendant also quickly faded away, returning to its previous state.
Everyone was staring at the jade pendant in Qin Hai"s hands with their mouths agape. Zeng Rou even rubbed her eyes exaggeratedly and asked in disbelief, "I just saw a phoenix, did you guys see it?"
Shang Qiushan also looked at the jade pendant in a daze. "I think I saw it too!"
Xia Mengxin looked at the jade pendant and then looked at Qin Hai in surprise, "You … How did you do it? "
Qin Hai returned the jade pendant to Xia Meng Xin and smiled, "According to you, from now on, this jade pendant should be "alive" again."
Xia Meng Xin looked at the jade pendant that Qin Hai handed to her. After hesitating for a moment, she shook her head and said, "No, I can"t accept it. "This piece of jade is in your hand. Logically speaking, it should be yours now."
"I don"t have that much to pay attention to. Just lend it to me to ponder for a couple of days when I return to the Spring River." Qin Hai directly stuffed the jade pendant into Xia Meng Xin"s hands. He looked around and said, "There is indeed something wrong here. All of you should be careful."
Next, Qin Hai pressed open the elevator door and led the group into the elevator.
"Where are we going now?" Zeng Rou tightly held onto Qin Hai"s arm as she asked a little nervously. It seemed that she was still a little afraid. It seemed that the stories about ghosts and G.o.ds had a great effect on her.
Qin Hai said, "Let"s go to the 15th floor first. Didn"t two maintenance workers see white shadows on the 15th and 22nd floors? Let"s go to the 15th floor first."
He pressed the b.u.t.ton on the 15th floor and the elevator immediately rose. It didn"t take long for it to stop on the 15th floor.
The elevator door opened again with a "ding" sound. Qin Hai was the first to step out of the elevator. Zeng Rou bit her lips and followed her out. Behind her, Shang Qiushan and Xia Mengxin also followed.
The moment the elevator was switched on, the lights in the corridor on the fifteenth floor were switched on along with the sound control. Qin Hai walked around the corridor but did not find anything unusual.
At this moment, when Shang Qiushan also walked out of the elevator, the elevator door closed again. However, the elevator did not return to the first floor, but started to climb upwards and eventually stopped on the 22nd floor.
Qin Hai frowned slightly. "Which one of you pressed the b.u.t.ton for the 22nd floor?"
Zeng Rou looked confused, "I didn"t touch the b.u.t.ton."
Shang Qiushan also shook his head, "I"ve never touched one either."
Everyone"s eyes fell on Xia Meng Xin"s face, but she shook her head, "It"s not me, I"ve never touched her either."
Swish!
The blood color on Zeng Rou"s face suddenly disappeared completely. Her eyes revealed a strong sense of fear as she tightly held onto Qin Hai"s arm and said with a trembling voice, "Yes …" Is it a ghost? "
