"Was this a flame marrow crystal?"
Inside the cave, Xu Yang held a diamond-shaped crystal, red throughout.
Who knew how long Li Chuyang and his father had spent in Flame Prison Gorge? They had already found over a dozen flame marrow crystals. By his estimate, these alone could be exchanged for nearly two hundred academic credits.
Besides the flame marrow crystals, there were three Hundred Beasts Body-Tempering Pills and quite a bit of spirit currency-over a hundred coins.
Other than these, Li Lingdu and Li Chuyang had carried nothing else.
"These flame marrow crystals will be perfect for completing the mission."
Xu Yang put the flame marrow crystals away, swallowed a Hundred Beasts Body-Tempering Pill, and closed his eyes to meditate.
As his dragon qi circulated, the wounds on his hands gradually healed.
His physique was exceptionally powerful, and its ability to recover was naturally impressive. Before long, the cracks were almost invisible.
Of course, these were only minor injuries. What he mainly needed to restore was his exhausted mental energy, and that was the most troublesome part.
There were no pills to replenish his depleted mind. He could only recover slowly with time, and that process could not be completed in a short while. That was why he had left Flame Prison Gorge far behind.
His mind gradually entered a state of empty clarity. Unaware of time passing, Xu Yang slipped into a half-dreaming, half-waking state.
Outside the cave, the sun set and the moon rose. Two days passed in the blink of an eye before Xu Yang's energy finally returned to its peak and he woke from meditation.
With his powerful healing ability, the wounds on his hands had healed completely.
