Chapter 28: Hidden Opportunity

The deeper they walked, the heavier that force became.

For Li Jian, whose cultivation was only at the 3rd Stage of Qi Refinement, every step felt like walking with a stone slab on his shoulders.

In the center of the chamber was a pool of pale-gold liquid.

It was not large, only about three meters across, but the moment they saw it, all three of them stopped.

The liquid was thick and slow-moving, and a dense, heavy aura rose from its surface.

Just standing near it made their meridians faintly ache, as if something was pressing down on their foundations and trying to squeeze out every impurity.

Su Qin's eyes widened in disbelief as she recognized it.

"This is… a Foundation Tempering Pool?"

Han Jin walked closer, stared at it for a while, then slowly nodded.
