Inside the secluded chamber.
The cold jade bed before Lin Changheng was covered with a dazzling array of essence blood. Its deep blue light reflected on his face, lending it a shadowy cast.
After a glance, Lin Changheng took out two portions of essence blood and began a preliminary Spirit Seizure to examine them.
[Cold Jade Crystal Scorpion treasure seed · Spirit-Seizing Transformation in progress] [Spirit Seizure: 1/100] [Effect: Mystic spirit demon beast bloodline, naturally endowed with water, metal, and ice attributes.
