Chapter 1004 Offering the Orb

Qing Jimeng bowed slightly, took the jade hairpin with both hands, and his voice was cold but polite.

"Thank you for the generous gift, Elder Bai. Ji Meng is grateful."

She gently inserted the jade hairpin into her hair, and the hairpin seemed to merge with her, emitting an even cooler and more noble aura.

Seeing this, everyone in the hall was amazed at the perfect combination of Qing Jimeng and the jade hairpin, as if this jade hairpin was tailor-made for Qing Jimeng.

"Hahaha, okay! Okay!"

Bai Gongming stroked his beard and laughed, then returned to his seat with satisfaction.

Then, guests from various forces came forward one after another to present gifts to Qing Jimeng.

Qing Jimeng always maintained that cool yet polite smile and accepted the gifts from the guests one by one.

Although she didn't say much, every look and every movement of hers revealed her nobility and elegance, fully demonstrating her status and upbringing as the eldest daughter of the Qing family.

After the elders presented their gifts, it was finally the turn of the fellow monks.

Of course, there are so many cultivators of the same generation as Qing Jimeng, and those who are chosen to come forward to present gifts on this occasion today are all the best among the younger generation.

Compared with the gifts given by the powerful representatives of the sect, the gifts from fellow cultivators seemed much more shabby.

The first person to step forward was the young genius of the Qing family, Qing Xuan.

He held a pill in his hand. The surface of the pill was shining and emitting a faint medicinal fragrance.

"Cousin Jimeng, this is the Qi Condensation Pill I made myself. I hope it can help you make further progress on your path of cultivation."

Qingxuan said with a smile.

Qing Jimeng took the pill and nodded slightly.

"Thank you, cousin Qingxuan. Your alchemy skills have become even better."

Then, another young man came forward, holding an ancient book in his hand. The cover of the book had turned yellow, and it was obviously very old.

"Fairy Jimeng, this is an ancient book on swordsmanship that my grandfather accidentally obtained when he was young. I have practiced for many years but have not been able to comprehend the mysteries contained in it."

"I've heard that Fairy Ji Meng is an expert at both playing the zither and using a sword. I'm giving you this ancient book today, hoping that you can comprehend its essence."

The young man said sincerely.

Qing Jimeng took the ancient book, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he thanked him.

"Thank you for your generosity. I will treasure this gift."

As time went by, more and more fellow monks came forward to give gifts, and Qing Jimeng's front was filled with all kinds of gifts.

Seeing that the time was almost right, Bi Yao quietly approached Zhou Yiqiao and transmitted his message.

"Next, Senior Sister, I will come forward to present the gift. After presenting the gift, I will introduce your gift to the eldest lady. Are you ready?"

Zhou Yiqiao nodded slightly and responded via voice transmission.

"I'm ready. Thank you, Senior Sister Bi Yao."

Hearing Zhou Yiqiao's affirmative answer, Bi Yao took a deep breath, straightened her clothes, and then chose the opportunity to walk forward.

In her hands she held an exquisite wooden box, which was carved with intricate patterns, making it look simple and elegant.

"Sister Jimeng, this is Biyao's gift. I hope you like it."

Bi Yao said with a smile and handed the wooden box to Qing Ji Meng.

Qing Jimeng nodded slightly, took the wooden box handed over by Biyao, and opened it gently.

A cold breath suddenly surged out from the wooden box and spread throughout the entire hall.

In the wooden box, there lay a crystal clear magical herb quietly. The leaves of the magical herb emitted a faint glow, making it look mysterious and precious.

"This is... Bing Xin Yu Lian!"

Qing Jimeng's expression remained unchanged, but the maid who was in charge of recording beside her exclaimed, attracting the attention of the surrounding monks.

"Ice Heart Jade Lotus? It is said that this grass grows in extremely cold places and blooms once every thousand years. When the flower blooms, it forms a lotus. Its lotus seeds can help people clear their minds and improve their cultivation speed. It is a rare treasure!"

The monks who knew the value of the gift whispered to each other and praised Bi Yao's gift highly.

Such a treasure would be eye-catching even if it was taken out by a powerful person, let alone coming from the hands of a young cultivator like Bi Yao.

Qing Jimeng gently stroked Bing Xin Yu Lian, and there was a hint of tenderness in his cold voice.

"Sister Biyao, this Ice Heart Jade Lotus is too precious. I am unworthy of receiving it."

Upon hearing this, Bi Yao quickly waved her hands and smiled.

"Sister Ji Meng is too modest. Although this Ice Heart Jade Lotus is precious, it is nothing compared to Sister Ji Meng's talent and talent."

"If you don't mind, please accept this gift. It's a token of my appreciation."

Qing Jimeng nodded slightly, put the Bing Xin Jade Lotus back into the wooden box, turned around and said to Bi Yao.

"Since Sister Biyao is so kind, then Ji Meng would be disrespectful to refuse."

"If you need Ji Meng's help in the future, just ask."

Bi Yao took advantage of the situation and winked at Zhou Yiqiao imperceptibly, then looked at Qing Ji Meng and said.

"Biyao just happened to have a small matter, and would like to trouble Sister Jimeng."

Qing Jimeng nodded slightly, motioning Biyao to continue.

Bi Yao smiled slightly, turned around and pointed at Zhou Yiqiao who was standing in the crowd and said.

"This is my Qingmu lineage's new disciple, Zhou Yiqiao."

"Junior Brother Zhou also has a gift that he wants to give to Sister Ji Meng, but he has never found a suitable opportunity."

"Today is Sister Ji Meng's birthday. Bi Yao dares to recommend Junior Brother Zhou to Sister. I wonder if Sister is willing to give Junior Brother Zhou a chance?"

Upon hearing this, Qing Jimeng turned his gaze to Zhou Yiqiao, just meeting Zhou Yiqiao's gaze.

The two people's eyes met in the air. Qing Jimeng was slightly startled, and then returned to his cold expression.

"Since it was Sister Biyao who recommended me, I should naturally give Junior Brother Zhou a chance."

Qing Jimeng said calmly, without a trace of emotion in his voice.

Bi Yao was overjoyed when she heard that, and quickly turned to look at Zhou Yiqiao and urged him.

"Junior Brother Zhou, bring up your gift quickly!"

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath, nodded slightly, then took the wooden box containing the Bing Xin Pearl and walked in front of Qing Jimeng.

"Junior brother Zhou Yiqiao, greets Senior sister Qing Jimeng."

He bowed respectfully and handed over the wooden box with both hands.

Qing Jimeng nodded slightly, reached out to take the wooden box and opened it gently.

I saw a crystal clear ice heart bead lying quietly in the box, emitting a faint blue light, giving people a cool and peaceful feeling.

"Is this...Ice Heart Pearl?"

There was a rare hint of surprise in Qing Jimeng's voice.

As soon as these words were spoken, most of the cultivators present, except Zhou Yiqiao, Bi Yao, and the indignant Elder Qingmu, showed shocked expressions on their faces.

Everyone knows that Qing Jimeng's cultivation has stagnated at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm for decades because he has been unable to find an Ice Heart Pearl.

Now, Zhou Yiqiao actually took out the Ice Heart Pearl as a gift, which was undoubtedly a timely help and solved Qing Jimeng's urgent need.

Qing Jimeng gently stroked the Bing Xinzhu, a rare gentle smile appearing on his face.
