Past and Present

[Congratulations, Host, on obtaining a four-star item: Crimson Dragon Armor]

The system's notification sound brought Shi Lan back to her senses. After turning it over in her mind, she still couldn't remember what she had forgotten, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

A four-star item wasn't too bad for an intermediate draw—nothing outstanding, but solidly middle-of-the-road.

Shi Lan opened the system's temporary storage and took out the Crimson Dragon Armor.

The Crimson Dragon Armor was scalding hot in her hands, as though it had just come out of the furnace. If Shi Lan had not already condensed the Glazed Jade Body, she would not have been able to hold it.

It was a crimson inner armor made of an unknown soft metal. Its forging method was completely different from anything in the Lingyang Realm, and countless formation patterns were engraved across it.

Shi Lan infused it with true qi and sensed it for a moment, discovering that at least thirty-six layers of formations had been engraved within. Their effects varied, though most served to reinforce and cushion impacts. The marks of these formations were extremely fresh, clearly engraved only a short while ago.

The heat of the Crimson Dragon Armor gradually faded. Its crimson color turned dark red, revealing layer upon layer of patterns resembling dragon scales.

Shi Lan gently stroked the dragon-scale patterns twice, removed her outer skirt, and put on the Crimson Dragon Armor. As her true qi circulated, the armor slowly changed and clung tightly to her body, fitting as though it had been tailored for her. A comfortable warmth spread through her, leaving her whole body relaxed and refreshed.

A four-star inner armor was only one grade below the Golden Rainbow. It was just a hair's breadth away from becoming a spirit treasure.
