"Possibly!" Ning Yanlan pondered for a moment, then confirmed, "It must have exploded!"
"No way, it just exploded out of nowhere?" Jiang Yuan was confused; he didn't understand how the Holy Spirit Fortress disappeared.
Guess what I'm holding in my hand?
Ning Yanlan hid her right hand behind her back, looking mysterious.
"A crystal core?" Jiang Yuan couldn't guess anything else; this was the most valuable thing here.
"Tch, can't you just pretend to guess a few times!" Ning Yanlan said in a complaining tone, but still took her right hand out from behind her back, with a purplish-pink core lying quietly in her palm.
"Tier 1 Crystal Core, Status: Unused, Requires four Tier 1 Holy Spirit Stones to activate!"
The information from the Heavenly Eye reached Jiang Yuan's mind, and he stared in awe at the crystal core, exclaiming, "It's unimaginable that anyone other than a god could create such a masterpiece!"
"Mmm!" Ning Yanlan blinked, then smiled and said, "Me too!"
Jiang Yuan looked up at Ning Yanlan and was suddenly stunned when he met her eyes.
Ning Yanlan's heart was also racing. After their experience last night, they both developed strange feelings for each other.
The two slowly approached each other, and at the moment their lips finally touched, neither of them held back, their lips and tongues conveying the purest affection.
Aside from kissing, the two restrained their inner turmoil, not for any other reason than simply being unable to bring themselves to do it.
Ning Yanlan was alright; as a psionic type, she didn't have many opportunities to engage in close combat with monsters. But Jiang Yuan was in a much worse state, covered in blood and even smelling strange. It was quite a feat for Ning Yanlan to actually bite into that; she must have a very discerning palate!
"Let's pack up and go somewhere else!"
As a man, Jiang Yuan honestly said, "Let's go somewhere else!"
"I want to go home!" Ning Yanlan didn't think with her lower body like Jiang Yuan; she looked worriedly in the direction behind Nancheng.
"It's okay, we can go back to Nancheng today!" Jiang Yuan kissed her forehead.
"I'm talking about my real home! Not Nancheng!" Ning Yanlan was a little unhappy because she had told Jiang Yuan where her hometown was before, but he obviously hadn't remembered it.
For a woman, the most important thing is that the person most important to her treats her most important things as her own! (What I'm saying isn't important anymore, because I'm confused myself.)
How could Jiang Yuan forget? He just didn't want to mention Ancheng. "By the way, how did you end up in Nancheng?"
"Don't you remember where I'm from?" Ning Yanlan's tone lowered slightly.
“Ancheng!” Jiang Yuan said.
"You do have a conscience!" Ning Yanlan placed her arms on her knees, then turned her head to rest them, gazing into the distance as she slowly said, "I came to Nancheng for work, and also..."
"A family marriage!"
Ning Yanlan sighed and continued, "A few years ago, my family went through a crisis. To protect the family business, I got engaged to that guy. After that, I went to the police academy without telling my family. I thought that by joining a special department, I could stay away from marriages based on mutual benefit, but I didn't expect that the Liu family would still use their connections to transfer me to Nancheng!"
"I see!" Jiang Yuan nodded and said, "The past is the past, who cares about that now!"
“No, don’t underestimate the power of the family!” Ning Yanlan raised her face. Suddenly, she didn’t want to talk about her own affairs anymore, so she asked, “Then do you think I should go or not?”
"Don't tell me what I think, tell me what you think!" Jiang Yuan looked at Ning Yanlan with a smile, and said meaningfully, "These kinds of things require mutual affection, and besides, things are not like they used to be!"
Ning Yanlan nodded as if she understood, then stood up and said, "Let's go, we're going back to Nancheng!"
Jiang Yuan turned to look at the monster beside him and asked, "Have you collected all the cores and Holy Spirit Stones?"
"You wish! You want me, a delicate beauty, to do such rough and tiring work?" Ning Yanlan joked.
"Let's collect all these things before making any further plans!" Jiang Yuan looked at the chaotic battlefield, searching for the corpses of second-tier monsters.
To reach the second tier of the Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique, one must absorb the essence of flesh and blood from ten second-tier monsters. However, first-tier monsters can also replace second-tier monsters, but the number required would increase by ten or even dozens of times, making it much simpler than reaching the second tier.
"Yanlan, you help collect the cores, I'll take care of the rest!" Jiang Yuan spotted a second-tier monster and ran over to mine for Holy Spirit Stones and absorb the essence of flesh and blood.
The two worked together for more than half an hour until Jiang Yuan absorbed all the monster corpses in the field, and the voice of the Heavenly Eye sounded as expected.
"The Great Wilderness Body Tempering Technique has reached the second level, and my current strength is twenty!"
Jiang Yuan could feel the powerful explosive force within his body, but as before, this enormous power was still rootless, with no cohesion within his body.
"I still need spiritual awakening and cultivation techniques to coordinate my power!" Jiang Yuan thought to himself. The Great Wilderness Body Forging Technique is a pure body forging method, which only strengthens the physical body and cannot achieve a balance between internal and external strength.
His spiritual awakening progress is already more than halfway complete, with the current value reaching 632 per thousand, but it will still take some time before the spiritual awakening is complete.
Ning Yanlan had just finished collecting all the cores. Looking at the pile of cores in front of her, she excitedly said, "Doesn't it feel like I've become rich overnight!"
There were more than a dozen cores spread out on the ground, and there were as many as seventy or eighty Holy Spirit Stones. The two of them made no attempt to hide their joy.
"I still have cores!" Jiang Yuan took out several cores that emitted a golden light from his body.
"Hiss!" Ning Yanlan was stunned, because Jiang Yuan was taking out Radiant Gold Cores. She asked curiously, "When did you hide these?"
