After obtaining the Soul Essence Fruit, Nie Li returned to camp and began refining it.
There was no denying it: this thing's effects were truly no joke.

But once she reached Nie Li's tent, she began hesitating outside.
Inside, Nie Li felt a little disappointed when he sensed that his Soul Sea had stopped expanding. He had thought he could break straight through to Legendary Rank this time.
Still, so be it. In cultivation, more haste meant less speed.
