In the courtyard.
At each of the four corners of the pond, a tall bluestone platform several zhang high stood erect.
The existence of the platforms seemed to be specifically for those atop them to have a clear view of the four strange treasures displayed in the water.
At the moment, seated on the platforms were Demon Sect's Lan Xi, Black Valley's Lin Beiye, Sword Tower's Qi Qingsong, and Dong Tianze, who had obtained a drop of Phoenix Marrow.
The rest were scattered around the pond.
Radiant light continued to fall from the sky, about to disappear into the pool.
Aside from Lan Xi, the expressions on the faces of Lin Beiye and Qi Qingsong, including even Dong Tianze, suddenly became solemn.
Greedy glares, sharp as needles, fell upon the surface of the pond, and many took rapid breaths.
Pang Jian became alert, silently observing his surroundings, sensing that the cultivations of those around him were all at the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
