“Try this.”
The old man handed him one of the teacups.
“T-Thank you…”
Yuan accepted the teacup without thinking and looked at the transparent liquid in the cup. If he hadn’t seen the ripple on the surface, he would’ve mistaken it as an empty teacup.
The old man then pulled the teacup towards his own lips before chugging the cup of liquid in an instant.
Yuan followed the old man’s actions and drank the transparent liquid.
“Wow…”
Yuan could feel a refreshing feeling flow down his throat before it expanded in his stomach and then the rest of his body, feeling almost like an explosion had occurred within his body.
«You consumed a Translucent Dew of Flawlessness»
«Impurities will now be cleansed from your body»
A few seconds after consuming the translucent liquid, sticky black substances could be seen oozing from every pore on Yuan’s body, filling the place with an intense smell that resembled the smell of rotten eggs and many other unpleasant smells.
“Whoa! What is happening to me?!” Yuan stood up in a panic after seeing this scene.
“Your body is currently discharging the impurities within your body. One must reach the Spirit Grandmaster realm before they can start cleaning the impurities within their body, but the Translucent Dew of Flawlessness will help you achieve that regardless of your cultivation, and it will continue to protect your body from collecting any more impurities in the future so that you don’t have to waste time manually discharging the impurities within your body after every breakthrough.” The old man explained to him in a calm voice.
“The Translucent Dew of Flawlessness is a rare treasure that will be very beneficial to you and your future cultivation.”
“I don’t really understand it, but thank you for giving me such a treasure, Senior.” Yuan bowed to him with his body nearly covered in impurities.
“No need to thank me, as this is but a small token for making you come all the way to this place.” The old man smiled.
A few minutes later, once Yuan discharged every drop of impurity that was contaminating his body, the old man waved his sleeves, creating a powerful wind that blew away the impurities and the awful smell.
«You have cleaned every drop of impurity within your body, obtaining a Refined Body!»
«You have gained the title ‘Untainted Body’»
«Description: Having an untainted body, your cultivation speed will increase significantly as long as you keep your body clear of impurities»
“How do you feel, young man?” The old man asked him afterward.
“I don’t know how I should describe this refreshing feeling… It feels almost like I have been reborn…” Yuan said while staring at his own palms, feeling incredibly light and energetic, even powerful.
“Rebirth, huh? That’s a good way to describe it.” The old man nodded before pointing at the seat.
Once Yuan was seated again, the old man spoke, “I know you are wondering why I brought you to this place and where we are, so let’s get that out of the way first.”
“First of all, this place is not a location from where you came from— the Lower Heaven— or anywhere in the world for that matter. It is its own world— another dimension so to speak, hence why I was able to bring you here without much trouble.”
“Now as for why I brought you to this place, it’s simply because I want to know more about you— young man who destroyed the Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune with his destiny.”
“Huh?” Yuan looked at the old man with wide eyes. So he really was responsible for destroying that treasure!
“However, before we continue, why don’t we introduce ourselves?” The old man spoke, and he continued, “Most people address me as Master Bai, but you can just call me Senior Bai.”
Yuan nodded and said, “My real name is Yu Tian, but I am also known as Yuan.”
“Yu Tian, huh?” Senior Bai nodded his head before continuing, “Now then, continuing with the matter— the reason why the Divine Crystal of Heavenly Fortune exploded after trying to read your fortune is simply because it could not read your destiny, hence why it exploded.”
“…Huh?” Yuan looked at him with his eyebrows raised in a puzzled manner. What does he mean by that?
