She had seen plenty of people burst into tears, but someone in her condition was a rare sight.
After a few minutes, Zhang Yunlu sat upright and looked inward at herself. The staff member stepped aside.
Within her Spirit Sea, her once-pure white spiritual energy was now tinged with silver, and seemed much denser. Even the Spirit Sea itself had expanded by a third, spurred by the agony she had just endured.
Although the Nine Qi Harvesting and Refining Method was rather brutal, its special effects far surpassed those of ordinary harvesting and refining methods.

"Thank you."
Zhang Yunlu nodded slightly to the staff member, then headed straight outside.
