Beneath the mighty lightning tribulation, even the Artifact Spirit of an Order Divine Artifact had perished, yet the pills still gave off their fragrance. That meant they had not been completely destroyed, and their grade must be very high. Fairy Meng Shang and the others couldn't help looking forward to what they might find.
Without saying much, Ling Tian and Meng Shang headed straight toward the source of the pill fragrance. They soon arrived at their destination: among a field of broken walls and rubble stood a battered pill furnace, and the rich fragrance was coming from inside it.
At the center of the furnace lay a Jade Gourd. It was cracked, and most of the pill fragrance Ling Tian and the others had smelled earlier was wafting out through those cracks.
"Hmm, this furnace is quite high-grade. At its peak, it should have been even better than little Dan Bi. But now it's in terrible shape, and its Artifact Spirit has dissipated." Po Qiong gave a soft exclamation. "There are protective formation runes outside, then a cluster of Order Divine Artifact buildings, and now this furnace as well. The Jade Gourd survived only because of all these layers of protection. Even so, it still has a few cracks."
Before Ling Tian and Meng Shang could respond, he continued, "By the way, this Jade Gourd is a treasure, too. It hasn't nurtured an Artifact Spirit of its own, but its material is pretty good."
"Three or four layers of protection, each one at the level of a high-grade Order Divine Artifact, and the Jade Gourd was still damaged. That lightning tribulation really was powerful," Fairy Meng Shang murmured.
"Even experts at the quasi-Saint level couldn't withstand that kind of lightning tribulation. It's only natural for it to be so powerful,"
