After searching for a couple of minutes inside the giant skulls of the beasts, Bai Zemin sighed and approached the two women who were just walking in his direction with helpless expressions.

Wu Yijun opened her palm, revealing the bright glow of a deep blue rock the size of a baby's fist with several imperfections and splinters.

"I only managed to find this one inside one of the First Order lions." She revealed somewhat bitterly.

Shangguan Bing Xue opened her two palms and shook her head, "I wasn't so lucky either. I only found these two."

"...Forget it..." Bai Zemin sighed and opened his palm, revealing a First Order Soul Stone as he said in a self-comforting voice, "At least we managed to obtain four First Order Soul Stones. That's good enough, I guess."
