He threw three punches in fluid succession.
The instant the final punch landed, the point of light on the Energy Body's chest burst apart.
In the next moment, the light covering its entire body vanished.
Pale blue Spiritual Qi drifted away, disappearing into the air in the blink of an eye.
Seeing this, Jiang Lan stood where he was and let out a long breath.
This thing really was tough to kill.
If he hadn't noticed the point of light on its chest right from the start, killing this Energy Body would probably have taken quite a bit longer.
Once he confirmed that the Energy Body had completely dissipated, Jiang Lan turned his gaze toward the platform again.
More precisely, toward the Spirit Vein Ore beside it.
After taking a couple of looks, he walked over to the platform, crouched down first, and gathered all the Spirit Vein Ore on the ground.
Although it had been processed, the concentration of Spiritual Qi inside was practically no different from what he had encountered before. At most, it looked a little nicer.
Twelve pieces...
I'm rich.
Only after putting away the Origin Stone did Jiang Lan stand up and turn his gaze back to the sphere.
On closer inspection, the sphere's surface wasn't completely smooth.
It, too, was engraved with intricate patterns.
Although Jiang Lan couldn't understand them, he could tell that these patterns were similar to those on the walls, just somewhat more precise.
Inside the sphere, he could also faintly detect a weak current of energy flowing slowly.
Jiang Lan tentatively reached out to touch the sphere's surface.
The sphere was cold.
The instant his fingers touched it, the sphere slowly descended from midair and finally settled securely on the platform.
Jiang Lan raised his eyebrows slightly.
What's going on?
