The jade slip held tightly in Li Qiu's hand was originally ice-cold, but suddenly it became unusually scorching hot. Shocked, Li Qiu slightly loosened his grip, and the jade slip darted out like something alive with a whoosh, flying right above the spiritual energy pool. It hovered in the space between the giant purple tree and the spiritual energy pool, spinning rapidly. Both the spiritual energy dripping from the purplish-red leaves and the spiritual energy in the pool began to swirl at an extremely fast speed, sucked straight into the jade slip.
Li Qiu quickly took a few steps back, his face flushed red due to the sudden turn of events. Yet, with no path to retreat and no destination ahead, Li Qiu simply calmed his mind and waited quietly to see what changes the jade slip might undergo.
The jade slip devoured the surrounding spiritual energy at a terrifying speed. Only after about a quarter of an hour did its rotation gradually slow down until it finally hovered motionlessly in mid-air.
