In a remote jungle nestled between Chu City and Whitewater City within the Da Xuan Country, a thin and frail figure was leaning against a thick tree trunk. Both of his legs were spread apart in a relaxed manner. This figure belonged to a thirteen or fourteen-year-old teenager. Aside from his unusually pale face, the boy had fairly common facial features. His clothes were loose-fitting and a bright shining steel sword was carelessly thrown by his side.
In a side hall on Tianjian Peak, Long Yanfei was gazing at a wall of white light, lost in thought.
At that moment, a man dressed in a white brocade robe entered, striding quickly to stand behind Long Yanfei—it was Sha Tongtian.
"Senior Sister Dragon, I hear Liu Ming has actually broken through the bottleneck of the Crystallization Stage?" Sha Tongtian asked, a hint of excitement flickering in his voice.
"Mhm, I've also just heard about it. Although with Liu Ming's three spiritual pulse aptitude, the success rate for breaking through to the Crystallization realm is extremely low, I've heard he spent a significant number of contribution points to use the Yin Yang Separation Mirror. With such assistance, breaking through the bottleneck of the Crystallization Stage does indeed seem possible. Why, does Junior Brother Sha seem a bit happy?" Long Yanfei turned to look at Sha Tongtian with a hint of curiosity.
