As the Flame Mantra circulated within his body, Xiao Yan's palm suddenly turned cold. He immediately felt, to his astonishment, streams of pure, warm energy surge out from the Energy Core like a tide and pour entirely into his body.
What delighted him most was that this energy required hardly any refinement. As long as it circulated once through his meridians, it gradually dispersed throughout his limbs and bones before seeping into his muscles, skeleton, and cells.
As it seeped in, Xiao Yan could even clearly feel the strength within his body gradually growing.
"Phew... What a miraculous thing. It's even smoother to absorb than ordinary medicinal pills... No wonder super factions like the Gu Clan and Soul Clan value this place so highly. So this is such a wondrous treasure land!"
After the final strand of energy entered his body, Xiao Yan opened his palm. The Energy Core had already turned to powder, and a trace of wonder appeared on his face. If obtaining such Energy Cores were not too difficult, advancing to the Four-star Dou Zun level within about a month should not be hard.
Seeing the amazement on Xiao Yan's face, Xun Er smiled. With her hands behind her back, she lightly tapped the ground with her toes, and her delicate body gracefully floated forward like a butterfly. Her sweet, crisp laughter drifted softly through the air.
"Come on, Brother Xiao Yan. Let's see who can obtain more Energy Cores over these three years."
Xiao Yan smiled and quickly followed her. He was quite curious to see just how strong these three years here could make him.
Over the mist-shrouded land, fluorescent lights drifted through the air. As far as the eye could see, the entire world seemed enveloped in deathly silence, devoid of any life.
