Chapter 172: Enter, Exceptional Body Refining Talent (2)

"Alright, let's rest for another hour," Li Yan said softly. "After that, we'll make our way to the entrance. The other factions might have already arrived."

Li Yan motioned for Zang Jing to follow him as he headed toward the main building in the courtyard house. Wu Yuan understood Li Yan's intentions and followed closely behind.

Whoosh! Whoosh! The duo swiftly entered the main building, and with a wave of Li Yan's hand, the door slammed shut, preventing any prying eyes from observing them. Only a few stools stood in the building.

"Brother Zang Jing, your reconnaissance and stealth skills have greatly improved," Li Yan softly marveled, his voice not audible to anyone but Wu Yuan.

"Its just a slight improvement," Wu Yuan casually chuckled.

"I'm glad that you've kept your promise, Brother Zang Jing," Li Yan said, smoothly revealing a set of armor made of black chainmail in his hand. On top of the chainmail was a white jade vial.

"Have a look, Brother Zang Jing. This is what we agreed on," Li Yan smiled. 150 drops of Ancient Immortal Dew and a suit of second-grade divine inner armor. The armor has been customized to your desired size and color."

"Mm, Brother Li, you are as straight to the point as ever," Wu Yuan smiled, reaching out and accepting the treasures. Without hesitation, he swiftly removed his outer clothing and the third-grade divine armor beneath, replacing it with the second-grade divine armor.

It was a perfect fit. While Wu Yuan's appearance and skin color were altered via Transfiguration, his height and physique were a replica of his original body.

Altering one's height and physique through Transfiguration had a noticeable impact on ones display of strength. It might not make much of a difference when facing weaker opponents, but in a battle between experts, life and death teetered on a delicate balance.

Lets test it out. Wu Yuan began to test the defensive capability and durability of his newly acquired body armor. Though he believed Li Yan wouldn't deceive him in this regard, he could not afford to be careless when it came to matters of life and death. Entrusting such critical matters to fate was the epitome of folly.

Li Yan observed silently from the sidelines, withholding any comments.

Wu Yuan's face broke into a slight smile as he remarked, "Not bad. No wonder they are considered a major faction. Their equipment truly sets them apart."

"Brother Li, rest assured, once we enter the Chu-Jiang Immortal Realm, I will do my best to protect Big Jiu and Wang Two," Wu Yuan said softly.

For him, returning a favor was a matter of principle. Protecting a few subordinates? It was a trivial matter.

However, Wu Yuans voice grew slightly gentle yet deliberate, "I must confess, Brother Li, I do have some ties to the Cloudstride Sect. I hope you can instruct your men to minimize conflicts with their experts, and if possible, avoid killing them. Please, do not make things difficult for me."

Li Yan chuckled lightly, "I understand your concerns. Rest assured, I have already issued instructions to that effect."

"Oh, and one more thing. Brother Zang Jing," Li Yan lowered his voice, "I cannot say for sure which expert from Great Jin will make an appearance, but it is highly likely that the leader will possess spirit battle armor. There may even be more than one person equipped with it. Exercise caution."

"Spirit battle armor?" Wu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly.

Additionally, while the treasures of the Chu-Jiang Immortal Realm held great value for Land Rankers, they offered little to the Heavenly Rankers. Hence, the Heavenly Rankers didn't pay much attention to it.

"Everyone, please take out your Chu-Jiang Tokens," Li Yan instructed.

With a simple gesture, Li Yan produced a palm-sized golden token in his hand. Though the material of the token didn't resemble gold, it radiated a dazzling brightness. Its surface was adorned with intricate lines, resembling the convergence of countless riversa truly exquisite creation.

Witnessing this, Wu Yuan, Song Guang, and Tie Tuo also presented their Chu-Jiang Tokens. To everyone's surprise, when Wu Yuan revealed his token, it trembled ever so slightly, as did the one held by Li Yan. Subsequently, the tokens seemed to respond to each other, emitting a peculiar white light.

Wu Yuan was bewildered. "What does this mean?"

Li Yan appeared to have anticipated this development. "This implies that, aside from us, there are other Chu-Jiang Tokens somewhere else on the Jiexian Mountain. Once at least six Chu-Jiang Tokens are gathered here, the Immortal Realm will open."

Following Li Yan's words, Song Guang and Tie Tuo also revealed their tokens, which also glowed white.
