231 What really happened that year

The rays of light that signified an increase in rank continued to flash in the house from the first day. It even occurred a few times a day. The Sima Clan had never seen this kind of thing happen before.

Although Sima Lie and his grandsons were unable to use their Spiritual Qi due to their binding, they never gave up absorbing spiritual QI. It was just that they could only store that Spiritual Qi in their bodies after absorbing it and were not able to increase in rank.

That was the reason why Sima You Ming and his other three brothers increased by quite a few ranks when their bindings were released this day. Even Sima Lie increased a rank, attaining the rank of Third Ranked Spirit Saint.

After that, they ended up eating Sima You Yue's Hundred Revolutions PIll, cleansing their marrows, increasing in another 2 ranks. Sima You Mind and Sima You Qi even entered the ranks of Spirit King.

Sima Lie increased in rank to a Fourth Ranked Spirit Saint.
