Legacy: Miracle

Chapter 228 The Ownership of Lingyun Pearl

In the valley, the aftermath of the battle lingered like a thin mist in the morning light, yet to fully dissipate. The expedition members and Feng Wuhen sat together on a prominent rock, surrounded by the scars of battle: broken branches, scattered stones, and the lingering fluctuations of spiritual energy, all bearing witness to the fierce battle. The atmosphere was tense, and everyone's heartbeat seemed audible in the silence. Their gazes were fixed on the spiritual bead, resting quietly in the center of the rock, emitting a faint glow.

This bead, barely the size of a fist, seemed to contain boundless spiritual energy, its surface radiating a faint blue light, like the brightest star in the night sky. It was both a treasure the expedition team had reaped after countless hardships and narrow escapes, and a treasure the Feng Wuhen family had long coveted, having lost for so long.

"Yun Yi," Arya's voice rang out softly. She gripped the longsword tightly, the tip of the sword tapping the ground lightly. There was a subtle hint of fatigue in her voice, but more of it was determination and resolve. "We paid a heavy price for this Lingyun Pearl. Those fallen teammates, the lost equipment, and the lives we almost lost... We deserve a share of this pearl."

Upon hearing this, Yun Yi slowly raised his head. His eyes were deep, as if they could pierce through time and space, transporting him back to those thrilling battles. He nodded gently, his voice deep and powerful, "Indeed, Arya is right. Our expedition team has given their all for this bead, even risking a head-on confrontation with powerful spiritual creatures. But Feng Wuhen, we understand your position. This bead holds inestimable significance to your family."

Upon hearing this, Feng Wuhen's brows flickered with a complex emotion. He gently stroked the jade pendant at his waist, a family heirloom inextricably linked to the Lingyun Pearl. He sighed softly and spoke slowly, "The Lingyun Pearl... is indeed a treasure of my family. It carries our family's memories and glory, and is the faith and hope of my people. But I also know that without your help, I would never have been able to recover it. I, Feng Wuhen, will always remember this kindness. Therefore, I am willing to share this honor with you and protect this pearl together."

Kevin's eyes flashed with surprise and relief when he heard this. He patted Feng Wuhen on the shoulder and said with a smile, "That's right, Feng Wuhen. We are a team, and the strength of a team lies in sharing achievements and sharing risks. As for the ownership of the Lingyun Pearl, as long as we discuss it calmly, we will definitely find a fair solution."

"So," Arya spoke again, her eyes darting between the crowd, trying to grasp everyone's thoughts. "How should we divide this pearl? It is too precious, and we cannot allow anyone to feel unfairly treated."

Yun Yi pondered for a moment, his gaze lingering on the Lingyun Pearl for a long moment, as if weighing its weight and value. Finally, he spoke slowly, "Although the Lingyun Pearl is invaluable, what's more important to us is team harmony and trust. I propose that we distribute the rights to use the Lingyun Pearl. Feng Wuhen, as the representative of the family, undoubtedly has priority use. However, there must be a period of time each year, perhaps one or two months, where the expedition team members can also draw on its power for training or research. This will both meet the needs of the Feng Wuhen family and benefit the expedition team members."

Feng Wuhen's eyes flashed with gratitude and admiration upon hearing this. He knew full well that this proposal not only took into account the interests of his family but also the feelings of the expedition members. He nodded and said solemnly, "Yun Yi, your proposal is fair and thoughtful. On behalf of my family, I agree with this distribution plan. Moreover, in return, I am willing to provide you with more help and support in the upcoming expedition, both in terms of spiritual power and supplies."

"Alright!" Kevin waved his hand excitedly, a smile on his face, as if he saw a glorious future for the team. "Since everyone agrees, then it's settled. Now that the ownership of the Lingyun Pearl has been resolved, we can focus on the next challenge. Whether it's a more powerful spiritual creature or an unknown danger, as long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us from moving forward!"

"Yes!" Arya also smiled, her eyes gleaming with determination and anticipation. "As long as we unite as one, nothing can stop us. While the Lingyun Pearl is precious, team harmony and trust are even more important. I believe that in the days to come, we will create even more miracles together!"

"Well said!" Feng Wuhen also smiled, his smile revealing a sense of relief and satisfaction. "Yun Yi, Arya, Kevin, and every member of the expedition team, thank you for your trust and support. I believe that in the future, we will work together to move forward and face every challenge together!"
