Chapter 40 (2/2)
The only thing that was a pity was that this Elusive Dream was too small. Just as Ji Fengyan felt her Inner Core being nourished, its spiritual energy was completely drained dry. When she opened her eyes, the Elusive Dream Ore in her hands had already lost all of its spiritual energy, becoming nothing more than an ordinary ore.
However, this discovery left Ji Fengyan extremely excited. She originally wanted to try it as an experiment, but had never thought that the effects would beat what she had in her mind by several times!
After this, Ji Fengyan impatiently used the Luminous Moon Ore to cultivate, saving the Su Lingsheng's jade pendant for last. Between the three, the spiritual energy that the Luminous Moon Ore provided was the gentlest. Still, the Elusive Dream Ore was the best at repairing her Inner Core. Instead it was the jade pendant that she got from Su Lingsheng that was most mediocre, unable to beat those two ores.
Once Ji Fengyan finished draining the spiritual energies from all three, her shattered Inner Core finally recovered a bit. The origin power that was constantly trickling away slowly stabilized a bit.
Ji Fengyan placed those three objects that had lost their spiritual energies onto the table, her thoughts already racing. Rubbing her chin, the raw stone that the store's manager had ”stolen” surfaced in her mind. Originally, Ji Fengyan didn't really plan on bothering with it, but after she had discovered the benefits of that Elusive Dream Ore, she absolutely couldn't let it go!
Just as Ji Fengyan was deliberating on how to make the store's manager ”return things to its original owner”, a knocking sound suddenly came from the door.
”My lady, that little brother is awake” Ling He's voice said from outside.
Ji Fengyan couldn't help but be nonplused for a moment. After thinking for a bit, she finally became aware that the little brother Ling He spoke of was that beautiful young teenager that she had struck half-dead with lightning and later knocked unconscious from her Sleeping Rune.
Abruptly, Ji Fengyan's heart felt a trace of guilt. She nimbly straightened out her clothes and opened the door, pretending to be composed before coughing. ”He's awake?”
