Chapter 71 - Translucent Dew Of Flawlessness

”Huh? What do you mean by that?” Yu Rou asked Xiao Hua, as she was unfamiliar with such terms.

”That girl with the disciple robes just now is a Cultivator at the Spirit King realm, and unless she also has a Legacy to fulfill, sheʼs an existence that shouldnʼt be in this world— the Lower Heaven,” Xiao Hua explained to her.

”Spirit King… Lower Heavens…?” Yu Rou shook her head, still confused about what Xiao Hua was trying to say.

”Anyway, letʼs look around the first floor before we go to the second floor,” Yu Rou said.

”Un.” Xiao Hua nodded and followed Yu Rou, as she didnʼt need to learn any new techniques for herself.

Meanwhile, Yuan and the female disciple had just reached the second floor.

”What is your name, young man? I am called Zhu Yuying,” said the female disciple.

”Yu Tian,” he responded.

”Oh, thatʼs a nice name,” she nodded with a smile on her face.

”Anyway, before you meet my Master, you should know a few things about him. First and foremost, my Master is a very outgoing individual, but do not feel too comfortable around him, and most importantly, do not show any sign of disrespect, or else you will dearly regret it.”

”I donʼt think I will have a problem with that…” Yuan said, as he wouldnʼt disrespect anyone without a good reason.

”Good. Then the next thing you should know about my Master is that he has very keen eyes for everything, so do not lie to him, because he will know,” Zhu Yuying continued. ”If you donʼt feel comfortable with answering his questions, you should just remain silent, as that is better than being a liar.”

”Is he going to question me a lot?” Yuan asked.

”I donʼt know,” she casually shrugged.

”Is that so…”

After navigating around the second floor for a few minutes, they reached the staircase for the third floor.

However, there were two guards standing by the stair with a semi-transparent barrier that blocked their access to the third floor.

”Master wants to speak with him,” Zhu Yuying said to the guards.

”What? The Master is willing to meet with a stranger?” The guards looked at Yuan with wide eyes, wondering what was so special about him.

”Since itʼs the Masterʼs request, go ahead.”

One of the guards then snapped his fingers, and the barrier blocking their path began disappearing.

A moment later, they were free to enter the third floor.

”This is the third floor?” Yuan expressed surprise after seeing the third floor, which was only large enough to fit two 5 meter-long bookshelves on each side and surprisingly empty, as there were barely books on these bookshelves— enough to be counted with oneʼs hands.

”My Master is waiting for you at the other side of that door,” Zhu Yuying pointed to the door at the end of the small room that emitted a profound feeling.

Yuan swallowed nervously before walking towards the door that gave him the chills.

He then opened the door, and to his surprise, there was only darkness behind this door.

”Uhhh… I am supposed to enter this?” Yuan turned around to look at Zhu Yuying, who nodded with a smile on her face.

”Donʼt worry, itʼs only a portal that will take you to my Master, who is in a place so far away that the only way you can meet him is through teleportation.”

Yuan narrowed his eyes, feeling a bit uncomfortable about the weird atmosphere and the whole situation. What if they are trying to trick him just like what happened at the Demonic Spiderʼs Silent Cave?

However, as Yuan was wondering whether to trust them, an ancient voice resounded in his head: ”It isnʼt polite to make the Seniors wait so long, young man.”

And right as the voice ended in his head, a powerful force appeared from beyond the door, sucking him inside the darkness.

”Ahhhhhh!”

Yuan screamed out loud as his body was tossed into the darkness, feeling like he was falling constantly through an endless hole.

The falling sensation lasted for a good minute before the darkness suddenly vanished, replaced by a bright light.

Yuan looked around, and to his surprise, he was surrounded by clouds, and when he looked down, he saw a vast world— one that stretched to the horizons.

«You have discovered ???»

”What the heck?! Where am I?! What happened to the technique store?!” Yuan exclaimed in a shocked voice as he continued falling from the sky.

”Iʼm going to die! I am definitely going to die if I fall from this height!” Yuan cried out loud.

”Hahaha… Calm down, young man from another world— you wonʼt die.”

A similar voice suddenly resounded beside Yuan, causing him to turn around.

”You are…”

Yuanʼs eyes widened with shock when he saw a healthy-looking old man with long white hair and a long beard falling beside him.

The old man suddenly waved his sleeves, and as though gravity had stopped working, their body immediately stopped falling.

”Come with me.”

The old man began flying away, and Yuan could feel an invisible force pulling him along.

A few minutes later, they landed on this small floating island that had a beautiful jade table in the center and two jade chairs beside it.

Once they landed, the old man immediately walked to one of the chairs and sat down before taking out a teapot and two teacups.

”Sit down, young friend.” The old man gestured to him in a friendly manner.

”...”

Although Yuan was still trying to make sense of the situation, he sat down as instructed.

”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 hadnʼt seen the ripple on the surface, he wouldʼve 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 manʼs 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 Yuanʼs 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 donʼt 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 donʼt 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 ʼUntainted Bodyʼ»

«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 donʼt 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? Thatʼs 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 letʼs 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, itʼs 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 donʼt 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?
