Days on Qiongbi Peak were tranquil and leisurely.
Before the auction began, Ning Daoran busied himself within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven.
Surrounding the Mystic Frost Tree, vessels for collecting sap were densely planted, and now the vessels brimmed with snow-white liquid.
The Mystic Frost Tree, having just reached eight hundred years of age, appeared wilted and sickly, a fate resulting from being excessively drained of its sap.
It seemed as though it had been hollowed out...
Ning Daoran began making paper, and after several busy days, a new batch of Profound Frost Spirit Paper was produced, with more potent spiritual energy than the last. As the tree aged, the spiritual energy naturally intensified.
Afterward, Ning Daoran refined a batch of Paper Substitutes, infusing the most concentrated spiritual energy into five of them.
As always, two of the five Paper Substitutes were exact replicas of Ning Daoran; their destiny was to serve as substitutes, or rather, decoys.
