Buried Sword Peak

Ye An ended his cultivation and rose. He could feel the green Wind-Wood True Essence patterns on his Qi Pill. They stood out even more than the blue-white Black Tortoise patterns.

Over the past two months, Ye An had hardly needed to worry about cultivation resources.

He had all the Cangwu Spirit Liquid he needed, a continuous infusion of Origin Energy from the Four Symbols Origin-Returning Array, and his Bone Aptitude had risen from Grade A- to Grade A.
