"I originally estimated that you would suffer some minor injuries."
"Yet the result is like this, strange indeed!"
Ning Zhuo pondered, "Could this be related to my second innate talent?"
He then carefully examined his own body, finding that his muscles were just tense all over, with only a thin layer of sweat.
"How do you feel?" Qingwu Langjun inquired.
Ning Zhuo’s eyes sparkled, "Very good, I would trouble Langjun to continue."
Qingwu Langjun smiled slightly and immediately proceeded.
With the infusion of True Intent and principles upon him, Ning Zhuo’s foundation was increasing at an unimaginable rate, inflating exaggeratedly every minute and every second!
In another cave mansion.
Ban Ji’s expression slightly changed.
Ban Jie was discussing the next action plan with him and immediately inquired upon seeing his change in expression.
Ban Ji slowly shook his head, instinctively covering his heart with his hand, "Just now, for a moment, I suddenly felt empty, as if an important treasure was taken away by someone."
Saying this, Ban Ji could not help but laugh: "It’s just an illusion, nothing to worry about."
Upon hearing this, Ban Jie felt a heaviness in his heart, inevitably thinking of Xuan Armor Cave: "The top reward of Xuan Armor Cave, although generous, is just that. What truly can help Ban Ji ought to be something else. But what exactly it is, there’s no way to probe at this moment. Alas..."
Ban Jie sighed inwardly but maintained a calm demeanor on the surface: "Even if Ning Zhuo obtained the top reward, it’s no more than that."
"Ban Ji, although we failed this time, it does not harm the overall situation."
"The family is increasing its efforts, and a bottle of Hundred Refinement Golden Body Pill will be sent soon."
Ban Ji’s eyebrows immediately raised, revealing a hint of joy: "What? This kind of treasure pill can enhance my physical foundation, greatly reducing the difficulty when the Myriad Prostrate Fiend-Beasts manifest."
"The family finally found this kind of elixir pill, I’ve mentioned it countless times before."
As Ban Ji said this, he took out a piece of Mysterious Armor.
This piece of Mysterious Armor was precisely what he had refined from Copper Lake, a reward every cultivator could receive after reaching the third level.
As for the Mysterious Armors "conquered" during the second level, they were all treasures of Xuan Armor Cave, merely temporarily lent to the trial cultivators.
Ban Ji looked at the Mysterious Armor in his hand, "If I had known about the Hundred Refinement Golden Body Pill, why would I have sought any Mysterious Armor?"
The manifestation of immortal aptitude of the Myriad Prostrate Fiend-Beasts put Ban Ji in danger because the principles of mechanisms and monster path were weighing him down, making it unbearable.
Once refined, the Mysterious Armor becomes one with the wielder. This provided Ban Ji more capacity for bearing principles.
The Hundred Refinement Golden Body Pill is an auxiliary elixir pill that can harmonize the principles on a cultivator’s physical body, arranging them properly.
If the help from the Mysterious Armor to Ban Ji is one, then the help from the Hundred Refinement Golden Body Pill is at least fifty!
With the Hundred Refinement Golden Body Pill, Ban Ji suddenly cared less about the Mysterious Armor.
Ban Jie knew the truth, yet he sighed again inwardly: "The family had long acquired this kind of elixir pill but had kept it unused to stimulate the grand plan of the King’s Order."
"But in this Xingyun Trial, the Human Tribulation was fierce, Ban Ji failed again. After the family calculated using the Clan Fate Mechanism Chain, it was found that it was necessary to strengthen Ban Ji, or else the future would be bleak, let alone inspiring the King’s Order."
"That’s why the elixir pill was taken and sent over."
Ban Jie thought of Ning Zhuo: "I wonder what he will gain?"
"Some opportunities that greatly benefit Ban Ji may not suit others."
"It might even be a disaster rather than a blessing."
Ban Jie comforted himself, yet his thoughts drifted: "But Ban Ji’s recent sense of loss is probably not just an illusion."
"Moreover, with this defeat, Ban Ji’s lifespan has significantly decreased and can only be compensated by consuming treasure pills."
"Will Ning Zhuo’s lifespan soar?"
