Li Yin nodded.
She began explaining the heaven-defying powers of the [Heaven-Deceiving Creation Gu].
"Legend has it that this Gu was born from a wisp of creation energy when the world first came into being."
"It has no combat power whatsoever."
"But it possesses three heaven-defying divine abilities."

That was practically an extra life.
That was far too heaven-defying.

"Third—and this is its most domineering, most heaven-defying divine ability—plundering creation! It can refine another person's cultivation and root bone, making them your own. Of course, the higher their cultivation and the stronger their root bone, the longer the refinement will take!"

Never mind Guhongzi—even ripples stirred in Li Xinge's usually still, deep-well eyes, despite his unfathomable reserve.
But the King of Chu was suspicious by nature.
