Just then.
A thunderous voice rang out from outside.
"I am Wu Tong, Supreme Elder of the Five Elements Immortal Sect. I have come on behalf of my sect with three excellent Grade Six Low-Rank cultivation resources—the Five Elements Treasure Pills—as gifts to congratulate young friend Peng Yun on reaching Void Refinement."
