Once upon a time, a round jade pendant gained sentience. It had originally been carved with a Spirit Gathering Array, whose faintly glowing lines formed a mysterious and ancient pattern, imbuing the pendant with powerful spirit-gathering energy.
Its original owner died while exploring a secret realm, and the pendant fell to the bottom of a cliff within it.
The secret realm was rich in spiritual energy. Day after day, year after year, the Spirit Gathering Jade Pendant gathered energy until it became sentient. Once it became a spirit, two tiny hands and slender legs grew from its body, a little thicker than toothpicks. Its limbs were nimble and adorable, and its round body swayed as it walked, making it incredibly cute.
The jade pendant also grew facial features. Its round eyes shone with a lively glimmer, while its small, adorable mouth opened slightly as if laughing merrily. Its delicate nose twitched as it sniffed the surrounding air.
The pendant concealed its glow and wandered through the secret realm, happily enjoying its new identity. It also found many ownerless items, including storage pouches, storage rings, and all sorts of treasures left behind by owners who had died.
