Li Yifei and Xu Shanshan finally emerged from the valley, finding themselves in a brand new place. The magical formation had transported them to an unfamiliar location rather than the dilapidated temple.
The two carried their respective weapons, along with the bead considered by both the giant monkey and the big pig to be Bai Shan. Xu Shanshan understood it to be the core of a certain mystical animal as described in novels, analogous to a human's Dantian. Upon closer inspection of the bead, one could indeed sense something different about it, as if being too close might render True Qi ineffective.
Thus, the bead remained enclosed in a box, stored in the backpack that Li Yifei carried.
