In the tranquil courtyard.
A strikingly handsome young man in a purple robe was hard at work.
On the table before him were hundreds of egg-shaped fruits, each the size of a human head and glowing with a faint, clear light. His task was to cut them open and remove the kernels inside.
It seemed simple, but it was anything but easy. This Spirit Medicine, called the Desolate Ling Flame Golden Fruit, had a notoriously tough rind—so tough that even a Top Grade Magical Artifact would struggle to break it.
Moreover, Ling Changqing couldn't use too much force, or he risked damaging the kernel inside, causing its medicinal properties to leak away and rendering it useless for concocting elixirs.
Fortunately, Ling Changqing's Divine Soul Power was strong enough for him to precisely control the output of his Spiritual Power, making every cut just right.
