Li Qingshan used the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd to refine the Vajra Seal’s shell and extract its intact Vajra Relic, then began forging his lifebound Chaos Heavenly Capital Seal.

• Li Qingshan instructed the Wish-Fulfilling Gourd to refine the Vajra Seal’s outer shell while preserving its core relic.

• Lady Three-Flower examined the Chaos Heavenly Capital Seal and revealed that it was a supreme-grade eighth-tier spirit treasure.
