Even cultivators at Golden Core Perfection must endure the consequence of having half their mana imprisoned, and it can even have some impact on the powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul Stage.
Moreover, the most formidable aspect of the Spirit Capturing Pearl is its ability to ignore any mana shields and magical artifacts, and only through the power of the physical body can one break free from its restraints.
Don't be fooled by how easily Xu Ping broke free; that's because his physical body strength is already equivalent to the third rank.
It's important to know that for cultivators, body refining is merely a sideline; few practice it, let alone reach the third rank.
After all, body refining can at most reach the upper-grade third rank, with no further path unless one obtains heaven-defying opportunities, there might be a slight chance to break through to the fourth rank!
