Zhong Lin, showing regret, said, "Master, there is only half a bottle. The Soul Nourishing Liquid is incredibly scarce. I went through considerable hardships to find just this half bottle."
Chen Jia was visibly displeased; his usually gentle face carried a trace of fierceness. In the end, he took a deep breath and said, "The Soul Nourishing Liquid is of great use in nurturing my soul. In the future, do your utmost to collect more."
"Yes."
After Chen Jia finished speaking, he retreated back into the Soul Nourishing Ring, without noticing the Divine Light in Zhong Lin's eyes.
