The pearls produced inside the Arctic clam were indeed large, and there were more than just one.

When the clam shell was opened, thousands of pearls clattered out, and, surprisingly, four beauties also tumbled out...

Xu Qingqing, who was watching from the side, was stunned.

Her eyes were wide, her mouth opened and closed, and she let out a long "uhhh..."

"How come there are people inside? Zhixing, where did you fish out this clam shell from?"

Seeing her daughter-in-law's reaction, mother Yingy Shuangshuang feigned a furious glare and grabbed Chen Zhixing's ear with one hand.

Chen Zhixing was speechless.

When he brought back this Arctic clam, he thought it was a Peak Realm clam spirit, since the aura from the clam shell did indicate it was of the Peak Realm. Who would have thought there'd be 'four people' living inside?

No, not four people.

It was a Peak Realm clam spirit along with three female cultivators—one Nirvana and two True Selves.

At present, the three female cultivators lay sprawled on the ground, unconscious, while the clam spirit sat on the ground, her eyes turning helter-skelter as she looked around at the staring Chen Family members, thinking something no one could fathom.

"There are pearls, aren't there? Black, white, pink—all kinds. Call some maids over to clean up, and later, send them to the market to sell." Chen Tianliang, Chen Zhixing's father, intervened to smooth things over, "These pearls have been on others' bodies, so I doubt you and Qingqing would want them. Whoever thought of using pearls for a bath and as a seat must really be squandering things."

Saying this, Chen Tianliang looked at his son with a somewhat gloating expression.

"Hehehehe..."

"Shut up!"

"..."

Chen Tianliang snorted, fell silent.

Chen Zhixing was speechless, it seemed like ever since his return from the Frozen Plateau, his old man's standing in the family had been on a daily decline. Now, he couldn't even say a word without getting scolded; it truly was tragic.

Chen Tianliang gave Chen Zhixing a look, first gesturing to the three unconscious ones lying on the ground, then towards Chen Zhixing's mother and the maid Yingy Erdan behind her.

Chen Zhixing blinked at the sight.

"Mother, seeing you short on people to serve you at home, I brought some maids back."

As he said this, Chen Zhixing walked over, bent down, and pinched the cheek of one of the female cultivators on the ground.

"These are missing persons from the North Sea Longevity Dragon Palace, of clean background. With a little training, they can sure serve you and my father."

"Is that so." Yingy Shuangshuang squinted her eyes with a look that asked if she believed it.

"That's right, mother, let me tell you...."

Chen Zhixing hadn't finished speaking when the clam spirit beside him, the one who had her eyes open, suddenly moved.

The clam spirit swore she merely felt her shoulder clothes were about to fall and wanted to hold them up! Honestly, she had no other intentions!

"Cyan Pheasant."

"Nine Feet Zhaxuan!"

Buzz!

The Cyan Pheasant Sword, flying over, was blocked by a mysterious blue waterlight, three inches before the clam spirit's forehead, seemingly still trying to advance.

"Don't misunderstand, I have no ill intentions! You can take and use the three maids, sell the pearls for money, all yours!"

Damn, are human juniors so naive these days that their first reaction upon seeing a Peak Great Demon is to slash with a sword?!

And this sword...

The clam spirit's gaze focused: "Cyan Pheasant Immortal Sword of the Sword Immortal, are you a disciple of the Sword Immortal?"

The Ancestor Tianyuan, who was inclined to take action beside, paused his lifted hand upon hearing this.

Sword Immortal?

Oh, that woman who died quite early, no wonder he found this sword vaguely familiar.

Chen Zhixing raised a brow: "You know her?"

"I know her, back then the Sword Immortal and I were good sisters. I even attended the funeral she held for herself!" The clam spirit exclaimed, not lying in the least; She wasn't a sister to the Sword Immortal, but she did attend the Sword Immortal's self-hosted funeral with the Dragon Monarch, leaving a profound impression of that Sword Immortal!

The Cyan Pheasant Immortal Sword buzzed.

"I see." Chen Zhixing nodded, then turned to Ancestor Tianyuan: "Ancestor, since it's a liar, I'll trouble you to suppress it."

"I'm telling the truth!!!"

Chen Tianyuan nodded, then an Array of Circulation Qi on Ziwei Mountain suddenly activated. The array's mystical aura began to draw upon the Earth Qi stored in Ziwei Mountain for billions of years, fiercely pressing down on the clam spirit!

"I'm not lying, I... no..."

The clam maiden hadn't finished speaking before she was solidified into a dull amber-like substance by the raging surrounding Earth Qi, sealed within, unable to move a muscle.

The Chen Family members around weren't surprised by this.

A Peak Realm clam spirit was indeed strong, but the heritage accumulated by the Longevity Family over countless years was not to be underestimated.

Not only the Peak Realm, but even a true Longevity Master wouldn't dare to barging into the ancestral land of the Longevity Family, which was protected by a Mountain Protection Array!

If that weren't the case, the noble families wiped out recently by True Monarch Tihu wouldn't have been two, but eight!

After taking a closer look at the sealed clam spirit, ensuring it was securely suppressed, Chen Tianyuan 'hmm'ed and turned to Chen Zhixing: "Zhixing, what do you plan to do next? After all, they're from that Longevity Dragon Turtle in the North Sea, and our Chen Family shouldn't detain them for too long."

Well, it seems the rubbish Chen Zhixing had spouted previously was treated like hot air by the ancestor, who pointed out the clam spirit's true origin.

"Ancestor, I was just about to talk with you about this matter." Chen Zhixing shook his head slightly.

"What matter?"

"The Dragon Turtle's cultivation technique went wrong, sealing itself inside its shell without any movement, and it won't get out without three to five years. I was wondering if our family could...
