Chapter 623: If There Was No Magic Pearl
What if the Magic Pearl could revive someone from the dead for twenty years?
Alexander didn't dare to think about it.
But when he thought about Ivy using the energy of the Magic Pearl to resurrect Miss Quiet, Alexander suddenly became filled with hope.
Ivy was able to bring back Miss Quiet, who had been dead for five years. So, resurrecting someone who had been dead for twenty years should be possible, right?
"Ivy, nothing is impossible in this world if we put our minds to it! As long as we want to bring them back to life, we can definitely do it!" Alexander became more and more excited as he spoke. "Tomorrow, let's go to the Ashford family cemetery and dig up the bodies of our parents, uncles and aunts, cousins, and even our grandfather!"
"Dig up graves..." Ivy suddenly became a little uneasy. "Isn't that against the law? And during the daytime? Aren't you afraid of being reported?"
Alexander immediately became alert and lowered his voice. "Should we go now? You're right, let's take advantage of everyone being asleep. We'll resurrect our parents, and no one will even notice..."
"Hold on!" Ivy realized something important and said with a serious expression, "How were their funerals conducted twenty years ago? Were the bodies cremated? If they were cremated..."
Ivy looked troubled as she said, "Do you think we can resurrect human ashes?"
Alexander's eyes instantly dimmed.
If it was possible to resurrect human ashes back into living beings, that would be even more incredible than myths and legends.
After carefully remembering the funeral from twenty years ago, Alexander's gaze became somewhat lost.
"Ivy, our parents, uncles and aunts, and cousins who died twenty years ago were in terrible condition due to the car accident. I fainted when I saw them, and when I woke up, they had already been buried. I don't know if they were cremated or not, but logically speaking, they should have been!"
Cremated?
If the bodies were truly cremated, could they still be resurrected?
Ivy took out a tissue, lit it with a lighter, and after it turned to ashes, she tried to use the energy of her river pearl to restore these ashes back into paper.
But ultimately, she failed!
Alexander, unwilling to accept it, used the energy of his tiger pearl inside him to restore the ashes, sweating profusely, but still unsuccessful.
Ivy said with concern, "Alexander, don't waste your spiritual energy. Once it turns into ashes, it cannot be restored!"
Alexander, unwilling to accept it, said, "Ivy, is it because we haven't practiced?"
"Practice?"
"Yeah, the Magic Pearls inside us were cultivated by river pearls and tiger pearls through years of cultivation. They have gained such miraculous effects after a long time of practice. We haven't practiced at all, yet we've been using them all this time. As a result, the energy of the Magic Pearls not only hasn't become stronger but could possibly diminish over time..."
"Gradually disappearing..."
"Oh my goodness!"
Just the thought of the Magic Pearl's energy potentially being lost, Ivy felt a great panic.
She had gotten used to having the Magic Pearl in her life. If one day it lost its power, could she still adjust to a normal human life?
Without the Magic Pearl, she wouldn't be able to draw 100 cartoons in a day anymore, but rather draw them slowly, one by one.
Without the Magic Pearl, she wouldn't be able to handle fierce beasts like crocodiles or tigers anymore, let alone deal with ordinary bad guys, because she had no martial arts skills at all!
Without the Magic Pearl, if someone asked her to cure an illness, she wouldn't be able to heal it instantly. Then, she wouldn't be the revered Foster Divine Physician in everyone's eyes anymore. She wouldn't even be able to treat minor injuries or illnesses.
Because she didn't know how to practice medicine at all!
Without the Magic Pearl, she couldn't protect herself, couldn't protect her family, couldn't cure illnesses, couldn't showcase her abilities... she would be nothing!
Anxiety filled her heart as she said, "Alexander, hurry and cultivate, we must cultivate! We absolutely cannot lose the Magic Pearl, we cannot let its spiritual power disappear, otherwise, we won't be able to protect our 18 children!"
