The Verdant Eternal Spring Essence thrummed within Wang Jian's dantian, a vibrant, distinct wellspring of pure life energy, separate yet harmonious with his potent Steller Qi. It was a cool, invigorating river flowing alongside a starlit, demonic sea. His body felt revitalized, stronger, every cell singing with renewed vitality. The brutal encounter with the Duskscale Earthrender Serpent had pushed him to the brink, but the rewards were beyond measure.
His first act, even before the last vestiges of the emerald glow fully faded from his skin, was to deal with the colossal serpent's remains. With a thought, his spiritual energy reached into his largest storage pouch, and the thirty-foot-long corpse of the Mid-Grade Second Rank beast vanished, neatly stored away. Its scales, bones, blood, and especially its inner core, were all priceless treasures, materials for future crafting, alchemy, or potent body tempering solutions.
