At last, Lei Dong tried tossing a Monster Beast Nascent Soul inside. The Chaos Spirit Qi it produced was astonishingly about a hundred times what tens of thousands of Qi Refining-level beings could produce. In other words, just a thousand Nascent Souls could refine one Chaos Crystal.

This result left Lei Dong somewhat exhilarated. Slaughtering a billion Qi Refining-level beings and turning them into a single Chaos Crystal had put immense mental pressure on him.

A key part of plundering Chaos Spirit Qi was finding
