Chapter 492: Chapter 245: Discarded Spirit Furnace?_2

But there’s no doubt that the benefits they received this time were also massive, namely a massive increase in their inner and outer spiritual power, a spirit furnace, and genuine attention from the Knights Temple. He understood that only after this event would the Knights Temple truly consider them as Reserve Sacred Legates for cultivation.

As the two brothers returned to their small courtyard residence, Long Kongkong couldn’t help but become excited the moment they pushed the gate open, "We’re home."

His shout roused the yard, and their companions came out of their rooms one after another.

Ling Menglu had clearly arrived back home earlier. Seeing them return, she heaved a huge sigh of relief. Typically, being called to the Temple Headquarters for an examination wouldn’t be worrisome, but the last time they’d been to the Righteousness Hall, they’d been detained for nine months! Nobody knew if something like that might happen this time.

Fortunately, everything seemed fine. The brothers had returned safe and sound, and judging by Long Kongkong’s demeanor, at least nothing bad had happened.

"You’re finally back. Tell us quickly, how was the temple examination? Did you receive any rewards or anything?" Ming Xi bounced over to Long Kongkong, her beautiful eyes filled with envy.

Though only Long Dangdang, Long Kongkong, and Ling Menglu participated in the examination, the others understood its implications. This examination was meant specifically for their reserve Sacred Legates; while it was a test, passing it certainly meant reaping some benefits. Everyone else was also core members of the 6 Great Sacred Temples, so they knew how important it was. Becoming truly powerful, even rising to the upper ranks of the 6 Great Sacred Temples, often requires more than just effort - talent and opportunity also play key roles.

"Nah, it wasn’t much. They just tested us and gave us a spirit furnace each," Long Kongkong replied with a big, carefree grin.

The yard instantly fell silent.

Then, Ming Xi, filled with envy, exclaimed, "A spirit furnace? The Knights Temple is so generous! This is really great, our overall strength has increased again. Our Assassins Temple is so stingy, they won’t give me any good stuff like spirit furnaces."

Long Kongkong chuckled, "Don’t worry! Once you’ve finished your Blood Refining Golden Body cultivation and the Assassin’s Temple sees your potential, you’ll certainly have one too."

Long Dangdang gave Long Kongkong a glance; surprisingly, he was making sense for once.

By this time, Ling Menglu had already come over to Long Dangdang and asked, "How did your examination go?"

Long Dangdang replied, "The Devil Realm. What about you?"

Ling Menglu nodded, "Same here. The Devil Realm. But it was different from when we faced it at the Spirit Furnace Academy. This time, it was much more difficult. How many stages did you guys reach?"

Long Dangdang replied, "The Snake Demon God, Andumari."

Ling Menglu raised an eyebrow, looking at the two brothers with disbelief, "You guys actually reached the stage with the Snake Demon God too?"

Long Kongkong also piped up, "What’s it to you, cousin? Why couldn’t we reach that stage? Seems like you got defeated there."

The light in Ling Menglu’s eyes flickered. At that time, she had indeed reached the stage of Snake Demon God Andumari. Prior to that, she had given it her all, using the Power Sphere of Light so she wouldn’t fear death in the Devil Realm, and managed to defeat the Great Evil Demon in the previous stage. By the time she reached the Snake Demon God, she didn’t have much energy left. Originally, she was quite confident that even in this true Devil Realm examination, perhaps Zisang Liuying might not be able to get farther than her. However, she didn’t expect Long Dangdang to reach this stage as well.

"What do you mean ’you guys’? Did you reach the Snake Demon God stage too?" Ling Menglu glared at him.

Long Kongkong answered as a matter of fact, "Of course! My brother and I joined the examination together. We both reached that stage. The Snake Demon God was really powerful! My brother even got torn to pieces by it. I’m still a little scared thinking about it now."

"What?" Ling Menglu turned her head towards Long Dangdang, "Are you all right?" She knew although it was an illusion and not real death, the pain experienced would be no different from real life. Experiencing intense pain could be very mentally traumatic.

Long Dangdang shook his head, "I’m fine."

Long Kongkong said with a smug look: "Then watch me unleash my divine might and defeat the Snake Demon God in revenge for my older brother. I’ll even make a dent in the Demon God’s Pillar."

Ling Menglu disregarded his nonsense and said to Long Dangdang, "It’s fine if you’re okay. The Priests Temple also gave me a spirit furnace. They said that once I rise to the 9th Rank, I should directly acquire the Sacred Legate position."

Long Kongkong blinked, turned to Long Dangdang and asked, "Is it the same for us, brother?"

Long Dangdang said: "We at least have to become God’s Seal knights and receive the approval of the God’s Seal Cathedra Rex."

"Oh, that shouldn’t be a problem. Which God’s Seal Cathedra Rex do you think I should choose?"

"Aren’t you tired? Stop daydreaming here, go rest and take a break. I’ll get you something to eat." Tao Linlin said.

"Wow, Sister Peach, you’re so considerate. I’m starving, hurry up, hurry up..." Long Kongkong charged over eagerly, but received a cold stare from Tao Linlin.

"Call me ’Sister Peach’ again, and you can eat dirt."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong, Brother Peach, hurry up."

By the time they returned, it was almost evening. Everyone ate dinner together, and Long Dangdang briefly explained the process they undertook to enhance their cultivation levels within the Demon Crystal.

"You mean that, as long as we have enough outer spiritual power, we can absorb the energy produced by the death of the demon tribe for our own use and thus increase our inner spiritual power with the help of Kongkong’s Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace in there?" Wang Changxin’s voice was somewhat anxious.

When she first entered the Spirit Furnace Academy, she was not inferior to geniuses like Ling Menglu and Long Dangdang. It was because she had the World Supremacy Spirit Furnace that she had to practice the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique. Not only did she endure inhuman pain, but it also greatly slowed her progress in advancing her cultivation level.

If there was a method to accelerate the speed of the inner spiritual power cultivation without any side effects, her strength could undoubtedly improve rapidly!

Long Dangdang nodded, "It seems to be possible at the moment. But you need to have strong enough outer spiritual power. The effect of purely enhancing inner spiritual power doesn’t feel as good. Of course, it’s still much easier than practicing in the outside world without the Blood Refining Golden Body Technique. The energy produced after the death of the demon tribe contains the energy of life. After being filtered by the Elemental Vortex Spirit Furnace, it’s most suitable for our digestion and absorption."

They were sitting around a table in the courtyard now. It was already dark, but everyone’s eyes visibly lightened up. They of course knew what this meant. It would bring great benefits to anyone, and it meant their future cultivation would be much more efficient!

No one expected that Long Kongkong, who was almost like a collateral addition to the team, had now become the core cultivation resource for the team.

Ming Xi blinked, "Kongkong, are you really that great? What if I became your girlfriend?"

Long Kongkong glanced at the cute Ming Xi, blinked, "Well..." He was about to reply when suddenly something stirred in his heart as if something was touching his soul. He quickly responded, "That’s not possible. I already have my goddess. Sorry, you’re too late."

Ming Xi huffed, "You wish! I was just testing you."

Long Kongkong chuckled, "Well, I can’t resist temptation! I’m not exactly a gentleman."
