Infusion and Purification

Since this mission hadn’t given her many Free Attribute Points, Mo Xi assigned them without much hesitation.

Hum~

Listening to the Upgrade Pod hum, Mo Xi could feel an invisible energy nourishing her mind, as if a hand were gently massaging her nerves.

A moment later, Mo Xi slowly opened her eyes. The drowsiness caused by prolonged mental exhaustion had vanished, replaced by a feeling of alertness.

Since the Upgrade Pod’s rental fee kept climbing by the second, Mo Xi quickly took out the scroll and used it—and immediately regretted it.

“Hiss...”

An unimaginable pain seized her. It felt as if something were using her nerves as a jump rope; every sharp throb made Mo Xi suck in a breath.

Mo Xi held out for a while, but eventually she couldn’t take it anymore. Her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.

While she was unconscious, one scholar after another appeared before her, tirelessly explaining the mysteries of their own energy.

No one knew how much time had passed...
