She found today's battle to be exceptionally smooth.
This low-level cultivation bead held no value for her. Its efficacy was limited to advancing one's cultivation to the level of a Martial God. However, she had already achieved that status.
Yet, for the Southern Mist Kingdom, a realm with a severely underdeveloped martial arts culture, it was a highly coveted treasure. It was no wonder that Qian Ziang had resorted to numerous schemes to acquire this precious item from Shen Lianxue.
As for Shen Lianxue, she likely felt a profound sense of loss because she had already surrendered her most cherished possession and had failed to obtain her true desire.
Reflecting on recent events…
Shen Lianxue had indeed gifted Qian Ziang many things, but throughout the years, she had never parted with a low-level cultivation bead. This fact alone emphasized the bead's unparalleled worth in Shen Lianxue's eyes.
