Chapter 2841
“When it comes to understanding spell formations, we simply can’t measure up to Mr. Chen…”
The Third Elder quickly interjected!
They had no knowledge of spell formations whatsoever, so how could they even begin to discuss sensing the aura fluctuations of a dao spell formation!
Kai ceased his conversation, focusing intently on the two-storey building before him. Logically, the county lord’s residence was so grand that it should have undergone renovations. Besides, Jia Ling County had ample funds; renovating the two-storey structure wouldn’t require much in spirit coins!
However, the building remained in its original state, and the Sheriff still resided there, indicating that this two-storey building held some unique significance!
Just as Kai was examining it closely, the door swung open, and Lord Yan stepped out, announcing, “The county lord invites you in…”
Kai nodded and led Liu Ruyan and the others inside!
All of them were eager to discover what sort of person this county princess might be—whether she was male or female!
Upon entering, they noticed a gauze curtain draping from the ceiling at the top of the hall, behind which stood a human figure!
That must be the Sheriff, but the curtain obscured any details about whether she was a man or a woman, or what she looked like!
“Please, have a seat…”
The county princess spoke slowly, her voice surprisingly feminine and as clear as a silver bell—truly delightful!
Seeing that the county princess of Jialing was indeed a girl took the third elder and the others by surprise, sparking their curiosity!
Yet, Kai remained expressionless; instead, he gazed intently at the figure, his brow slightly furrowed!
“You are Kai, the one who topped the Pill Master Association competition and possesses the Divine Nong Cauldron and the Heavenly Thunder Fruit?”
The Sheriff inquired, turning her attention to Kai!
“That’s correct!” Kai acknowledged with a nod!
Kai understood that this particular secret was unlikely to be hidden from the Sheriff!
“You’re quite straightforward. Now that you’ve achieved first place, what special reward would you like to receive?”
The Sheriff asked!
“I’d like to know what reward the Sheriff has in mind to give,”
Kai replied, turning the question back on her! Since it was initially mentioned that special rewards awaited the pill masters, the county lord must have considered them beforehand!
“The special reward I have prepared for you is this…”
As she spoke, a beam of white light rushed towards Kai!
Kai reached out to catch it, discovering it was a broken jade token. As he held it, an overwhelming coldness enveloped him, forcing him to channel his spiritual energy to withstand the chill!
The cold energy radiating from this jade token was even more intense than the cold aura emitted by Gao Qijie!
Staring at the jade token, Kai experienced a sense of déjà vu, suddenly widening his eyes as a realization struck him!
He hastily retrieved the jade token gifted to him by Tile Jar from his storage ring and combined it with the one given by the county lord!
Miraculously, the two broken jade tokens fit together perfectly, forming a single piece!
Gazing at the jade token in his hand, Kai was filled with astonishment!
He couldn’t fathom who this county princess was to possess a jade medal from the Ancient Body Refining Clan, as well as a token that could unlock the treasures of that clan!
“Who are you really? How do you have the Ancient Body Refining Clan’s jade token?”
Kai couldn’t help but ask!
“That’s not for you to know. What you need to understand is that with this jade token, you can locate the Ancient Body Refining Clan’s treasure and access it.”
“There are numerous treasures within; many are searching for this treasure!”
The Sheriff explained calmly!
“Is this the special reward you mentioned?”
Kai asked!
“Is this reward insufficient? You should know that an Ice Pill is contained within this treasure; it is the inner pill of the Ice Pill Monster found thousands of meters underground in the frigid lands.”
The Sheriff queried Kai!
“I’m not interested in the value of the Ice Soul Dan, nor do I wish to seek any treasure…”
Kai replied, shaking his head!
