Ancient Variant, Provisions?

Ancient Variant, Provisions? "Is this what Xi Du and Lin Qiaojing were fighting over...?"

Shi Yan had already reached the bottom of the lake and stopped before a pile of rubble.

At the center of the stone pile lay a fist-sized rock that occasionally emitted a faint seven-colored glow.

"Innate Body-Tempering Stone!"

After taking a few more steps forward, Shi Yan felt a cleansing force flowing through his body.

That confirmed it for him—this was the treasure that made countless major clans green with envy.

The Innate Body-Tempering Stone was born of heaven and earth. It could temper the body and lay down an unshakable foundation!

"No wonder they fought over it..."

Members of the Demon Rhino Clan and Divine Forest Clan possessed physical strength far surpassing most races from the moment they were born, and they could better endure the pain of body-tempering. With this Innate Body-Tempering Stone, they would win right from the starting line. Both the number and quality of geniuses born within their clans would far exceed those of other races.

This was a true treasure capable of laying down a firm foundation for an entire clan!

They were embedded in the rocks at the lakebed, their owner nowhere in sight.
