Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Kong Rui could also see the scheming look in their eyes, but this was exactly what she wanted.

From the looks of it, as long as her request wasn’t too outrageous, these old fellows would definitely listen to her.

For example… spending a night in the ancestral hall!

Kong Rui stood where she was and waited silently for the Patriarch to continue.

The Patriarch turned to look at the First Elder. The First Elder coughed and said, “Ling’er, the First Elder has a treasure…”

As the First Elder spoke, he gestured for Kong Rui to take it.

Kong Rui walked up to the First Elder and bowed respectfully.

The First Elder waved his hand, and Kong Rui felt a white light flash before her eyes.

In the next moment, a faint stream of spiritual energy seemed to be injected into her body.

The spiritual energy spread, making Kong Rui feel like her limbs and bones were healing. Even the feeling of discomfort from her soul and body not adapting to the Spirit Exchange Technique had disappeared.

Kong Rui blinked in disbelief as she felt the power.

The First Elder looked at the faint white light emitting from Li Ling’s body and smiled in satisfaction. “This is a healing talisman. It can ensure that your body can recover faster when you’re injured.”

“Thank you, First Elder!” Kong Rui thanked him sincerely. This thing seemed to be quite useful.

“If you can use it well, this talisman can also increase your strength as your cultivation level increases.” The First Elder added.

Although Kong Rui wasn’t sure if she could still have this talisman if her soul left this body, she could still use it for the time being.

After the First Elder finished giving his gift, the Second Elder summoned Kong Rui.

“Although your spirit beast’s potential isn’t bad, it still needs to increase its strength to perform better in the competition.” As the Second Elder spoke, he handed a battle suit used by spirit beasts to Li Ling.

“Wear this battle suit for your spirit beast. It can increase its cultivation level and resist some of the other party’s attacks.”

Kong Rui looked at the faint yellow mist on the battle suit. Although she was a little disdainful, it was still something useful, so she thanked him and accepted it.

After the two elders finished giving their gifts, Kong Rui turned to face the Patriarch again.

The Patriarch coughed lightly. “Ling’er’s cultivation level has advanced by leaps and bounds. It’s already rare among the younger generation. However, in order to deal with the competition tomorrow, there’s a Spirit Qi Pill here. Take it back and slowly refine it.”

Kong Rui took the small wooden box handed over by the Patriarch. Inside, there was a light blue pill. Kong Rui touched it tentatively with her hand, but she didn’t expect the light blue light in the pill to instantly turn into a dark purple light. She couldn’t help but feel shocked.

The little lion’s voice suddenly sounded in Kong Rui’s ear. “Master, what’s wrong?”

Kong Rui tried her best to comfort the little lion. “I’m fine. I just touched a Spirit Qi Pill. The demonic energy in my body can’t be suppressed anymore.”

“How did this happen?” Little Lion was instantly flustered.

The Patriarch and the other two also noticed the change in color on the Spirit Qi Pill.

The three of them looked at each other. They didn’t understand why this had happened.

Spirit Qi Pills were pills that stored spiritual energy. When refined, they gathered the surrounding spiritual energy with cultivation techniques.

The color of the Spirit Qi Pill was related to the purity of the surrounding spiritual energy and the cultivation level of the person who refined it.

Although this light blue Spirit Qi Pill wasn’t top-notch, it was still a rare treasure in the empire. However, why did its color change the moment Li Ling touched it?

If it was Li Ling’s problem, then… what was the problem?

They had never thought that Li Ling’s body actually had a soul tainted by demonic energy!

Seeing the expressions of the three old fellows, Kong Rui knew that they hadn’t connected this phenomenon to the demons.

She secretly suppressed the surging demonic energy in her body to prevent the demonic qi from devouring the Spirit Qi Pill.

Once the demonic energy completely devoured and transformed the Spirit Qi Pill, the demonic cultivation level in Kong Rui’s body would definitely increase again.

At that time, her body would definitely show it physically, so it wouldn’t be as easy to hide!

Kong Rui moved her hand away from the Spirit Qi Pill and immediately placed it in her storage ring. “Thank you, Patriarch and the two elders! I will take my leave first!” Li Ling said and turned to leave.
