'This pearl must have injured its spirit; no wonder it stayed with me obediently the whole time, and only when it found an opportunity to recover did it run away.' Ye Chen muttered in his heart.
Although he didn't know too much about the emperor void pearl and items with spirits, he could at least guess this as the souls and spirits were similar. Furthermore, if the spirit of pearl is really injured, then this was a great opportunity for him to refine the pearl, as it would be busy healing itself.
Of course, the pearl can defend against and attack him, but it won't be able to exert full strength unless it stops the process of healing, which might not be good if its spirit is really in a bad state.
But what if it was in good condition? Then Ye Chen would be in trouble.
However, if he won't refine this thing now, there will be even less chance of him doing this in the future.
