My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 1917

Hearing no response from Nash, the master of the Endless Horizon Sect immediately fell to his knees.

“You’re an expert, and I fully trust in your abilities. If you still have any reservations, you can cripple my cultivation now. But you must promise me that you'll heal my disciple after that!"

Nash looked at the man in disbelief. At this man's current cultivation, he would immediately die at his age if he were to be reverted to an ordinary human being. The man's determination puzzled him deeply. "Your disciple... Who exactly is he?"

Realizing that he would be receiving the answer soon, Nash decided not to press further. "Alright, I can help you."

Hearing this, the master of the Endless Horizon Sect could not contain the joy on his face. "Thank you, Nash! Thank you!"

After thanking Nash repeatedly, he lifted the precious pearl with both hands and handed it to Nash. Nash reached a hand out, and the moment he touched it, he was stunned by the surging power within. Immediately upon his touch, the pearl started to retaliate against Nash.

Nash hurriedly threw the pearl to the ground and administered a quick injection to stabilize himself. "This… This pearl…"

Talroth rushed to his aid. "Nash, this pearl is highly unstable. Don't force it. Take it slow."

"This... pearl seems alive. The moment I touched it, it started to permeate my thoughts and memories!"

"You're right, Nash," the master of the Endless Horizon Sect said as he picked up the pearl. "This pearl is only interested in strong individuals. I regret that I can't control it. Your reaction is proof that it acknowledges your strength and has thus, begun to impart its power to you."

"But this backlash? What's going on?!" Nash gripped the man's collar and demanded.
