Jiang Ding reached out and took the Nascent Soul-Sealing Net floating in midair.
It was single-use. This black net, worth six hundred million low-grade spirit stones and crafted from vast quantities of fourth-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures, had already lost its ability to capture Nascent Souls.
