This pearl is called life pearl. A rare treasure that can heal all types of wounds and cure all types of poisons. The conditions to use it is harsh because it requires tons of spiritual stones to activate it. This pearl is the only chance to heal Empress Dowager.
Veldora kneeled while saying: "Yes, my lord" then disappeared into the skies.

Liam's POV:
When Veldora left, I summoned the shadow guards and asked for the area to be cleared. After 30 minutes, I saw that everyone was away from the area except for Kurma who was sitting next to me.
I thought 'System Open' and a blue screen appeared in front of me.
[ Name: Liam Von Vermilion (Mike)

Servants: 15
Summon ticket: 3 tickets (Take a Mission). ]
During the 4 years, I have finished three missions. Those missions are Building Shadow Guards, Master Artists, and Knowledgeable. Completing these missions resulted in getting 3 summoning tickets and a book. I have saved for later because I didn't have the opportunity to use them. Since I am going to the capital I will use them and see, I might get something useful.
I opened my inventory and saw several treasures, Sword Maniac's Sword, 2 white tickets, 1 silver ticket, and a book.
Looking at Sword Maniac's sword, I can only sigh. I tried many times to get the sword spirit agreement but it only said "You are too weak" one time and never talked again. When I try to talk or communicate with the sword spirit again, it would ignore me. I wonder if it will accept me when I become Sword Grandmaster.
I focus on the book and a wave of information hit my mind almost knocked me unconscious. The book's name was " Alchemy's Basics" It introduced me to all types of herbs, cauldrons, alchemy fire, special formations for alchemy, and many more. It included common mistakes that alchemists do which decreases the effectiveness of the pills. The information from the book is very important and necessary for all alchemists. During the last 4 years, I have trained to be an alchemist but it was very hard. I spent 4 years and only became a disciple without a teacher. Now that I have this book, it won't be hard to become a master in alchemy.
Then, I focused on the three tickets and saw two screens appearing
[ 1 Mid Level Summon Ticket: Summon one mid-rank loyal servant or several low levels loyal servant squad.
Stage: Unknown, depending on the summoned.
Ability: Unknown, depending on the summoned.
(Start Summon)]
[ 2Level Summon Ticket: Summon two low-level loyal servants.
Stage: Unknown, depending on the summoned.
Ability: Unknown, depending on the summoned.
(Start Summon)]
I clicked on the Start Summon on both of the screens. White and silver fog covered the room while the wind started to rage around. After several minutes the fog started to disappear leaving 3 different looking shadows. Soon, they became clear for me to see. There was an old man wearing a black suit white one eyeglass on his eyes, a weird floating golden light, and a red-haired beautiful woman. The three of them kneeled on the ground the moment they saw me.
When I looked at them, I saw three blue colored screens.
The blue screen that appeared on top of the old man shows:

The three of them said: "Greetings, my lord." The golden spirit sounded different than the others. Like she was talking to my soul.
So, I have got a half vampire butler, a creepy spirit, and a spy. I can see the butler to be useful and the spy to gather info for me. But, I can't see what is this spirit useful for. I looked at the golden spirit full of questions and said: " Hmmm, you what are you? Tell me more about yourself and your race?"
The golden spirit replied: "I am the queen of the parasyte spirits. We are a very rare and unique race among the spirits. We require a host to be able to survive in the physical world and live for a long time. Our race's queen usually hunted by emperors to use our ability to develop their empire."
Hunted by the emperor? What do they need from the parasyte spirits who would get in their body? I can't see anything good from doing that! I looked at her and said: "Why would they do that? What is your race's ability? What can it do for the empire?"
The golden spirit continued: " When the queen makes a contract with the emperor, then the emperor will make all the citizens do the contract with spirits that the queen summoned. Doing that will give the emperor information about the talent and information of every person on the empire, and a way to eliminate unloyal people. We can also help with information gathering and information sharing among the contracted people. Lord can consider it like a large network where contracted people can communicate, share information, and more. Also, our race help with improving the talent of the individual and the speed of cultivation. We can provide protection for the soul from soul attacks. What we spirit gain from this is being able to survive and increase our strength without harming or affecting the contractor. It's a win-win situation for both parties."
Hearing what the golden spirit said made me open my eyes to the realization of what her words meant. Isn't this like the internet? I change my words, this golden spirit is my golden ticket to improve my people and develop my State!! With the help of the golden spirit I can find all spies and unloyal people within the state. Once I eliminate them, then I won't need to hold back with the development of my state. Ohhhhh hahahahaaa this will change my future plans!!!
