Han Shun read the name inscribed on the marbles, "Javier Di Arlingdon, and uh… Sakuma Hoshino."
"Yes, those are the sphere of a powerful Sun King called Javier and a genius scholar called Sakuma. Those two are strong in their own field, and their traits would definitely help you cultivate faster to reach your golden core," The man said. "You should swallow them both if you want to progress quicker."
"Why do I have to swallow two?" Han Shun asked suspiciously. "What will happen if I only swallow one?"
"Then you will take a while until you reach your golden core," the man in a black-golden robe answered. "One marble there is enough to cut your cultivation time by 8 years. So swallowing two would cut 16 years of the needed time for you to reach your golden core."
"Then, how come I can't eat 3?" Han Shun asked again. "I will hit my golden core right now if I eat 3!"
