The Refinement Begins!

"All prodigies, prepare yourselves at once. The Starlight Refining Pool is about to open!"

An Elf Officer holding a scepter called out in a clear, ringing voice, breaking the silence and murmurs beside the pool.

Qin Yan and Xue Liu Li exchanged a glance, ending their conversation.

They walked steadily toward the Starlight Refining Pool.

Once all the qualified prodigies had gathered beside the pool, the Elf Officer presiding over the ceremony assumed a solemn expression.

She raised the scepter high with both hands and began chanting ancient, tongue-twisting elven incantations.

As she chanted, the emerald gemstone set atop the scepter suddenly lit up, resonating with the starlight in the pool.

Hummm!

In an instant, the gently rippling waters of the Starlight Pool seemed to come alive, swirling and flowing faster!

Above the surface, the silver motes suddenly became incredibly active, bursting with an unprecedented brilliance!

The entire pool seemed to become a boiling broth of starlight, rising in drifting streams.

They formed a dreamlike nebula of luminous mist above the surface.

The fluctuations of spiritual energy permeating the area abruptly grew several times stronger, making their souls tremble with longing.

"Starlight Refining Pool, open!" With one final sharp cry, the officer struck the ground hard with her scepter.

The waters settled, but the concentration of energy within them reached an astonishing peak.

"You may refine yourselves in the pool for six hours.

After six hours, the waters will return to their dormant state, their effectiveness will greatly diminish, and the Holy Land will close."

Her gaze swept over the prodigies as she said, "Treasure this opportunity. Clear your minds of distractions and guide as much starlight as you can to refine your spiritual essence and expand your spiritual potential.

Even within our clan, not everyone receives such an opportunity."
