Alaric Ye discovered that the Temple Master of the Curled-up Dragon Hall had done an excellent job. The Curled-up Dragon Pearl, just taken from Dragon Essence Young Master's storage space, was unexpectedly ownerless, meaning the soul mark of Dragon Essence Young Master had been casually erased. This greatly reduced the difficulty for Alaric Ye to refine the Curled-up Dragon Pearl.

Buzz! Roar!

The moment Alaric Ye held the Curled-up Dragon Pearl, it began to tremble, and the dragon spirit within it roared madly, unleashing its dragon might upon Alaric Ye. If he let go, the Curled-up Dragon Pearl would definitely escape, as an artifact spirit of this level already possessed self-awareness.

The Curled-up Dragon Pearl had always been one of the foundational treasures of the Ten Thousand Dragons Immortal Dynasty, belonging either to the core royal family or the true dragons of the dynasty. Alaric Ye had no trace of dragon aura on him, and his cultivation was only at the Body Fusion stage. It would be strange if the Curled-up Dragon Pearl submitted upon first meeting him.
