"I've heard that Cloud Tiger's Light Skill is second to none, leaving no trace whether he is coming or going. His swift movents are like fleeting shadows and his Huajin is nearly impossible to guard against!"
"Not only that, but his temperant is extrely extre. I heard that when he went to ambush Xu Mansion, just because soone stared at him a bit too much,
he asked, 'What are you staring at?', and then killed him on the spot!"
"Huh? That doesn't sound right, I heard it's because soone didn't look at him?"
"What I heard is that soone frowned and quietly retreated behind the crowd?"
"Sigh, none of you know the real reason. I heard it's because the Xu Family sold a ship to Cloud Tiger early on, then had the people from Ma Zi Gang rob him.
He held a grudge because of this, and went on to slaughter the entire Xu Family and nearly wipe out Ma Zi Gang, leaving only the gang leader alive,
I suspect if Ma San Dao hadn't been cautious, he'd be dead by now too."
"Whoa, this Cloud Tiger can really hold a grudge! Just over a ship, who among our families hasn't oppressed the common people before?"
"Forget it, with a murderer like this appearing in Lakeside County, I'm afraid only a master could possibly stand a chance against him.
We should all keep a low profile. When we return ho, remind everyone to be courteous to all, especially those young ones!
Never underestimate a poor youth!"
....
As for the situation here, Chen Yi didn't pay too much attention. After leaving ho, he found a deserted place, then opened the jade bottle and animal skin paper he received from the Xu Family's secret vault.
After looking at it, Chen Yi did not quite understand,
The paper explained that the bottle contained a Spirit Object nad the Purple Crystal Liquid, a heavenly and earthly treasure passed down from the Xu Family Ancestor,
It's function, however, was not to help one beco a master,
But to enhance a master's qualities once they've ascended.
But due to this drop of Purple Crystal Liquid being stored for many years without use, even if stored in the Mysterious Jade Bottle, it could not withstand the depletion of the environnt and has lost most of its effectiveness,
At most, it could still be effective if used within 100 years.
Chen Yi looked at the date on the animal skin paper, which astonishingly had already been more than 120 years.
"Sigh, it seems like I got a useless object. No wonder the Xu family didn't mind parting with it as a peace offering."
Just what is this Purple Crystal Liquid?
Chen Yi was curious, so he gently removed the cork from the jade bottle and took a peek inside,
Inside was a transparent liquid that was shiny and transparent, with almost invisible strands of purple, unremarkable. There was no heart-throbbing sensation or any changes in the world as in the legends when encountering a treasure.
Chen Yi casually put the cork back on and put it in his inner pocket, placing it with the ten acquired spirit stones.
What Chen Yi didn't notice was,
Just as he had uncorked the bottle, those few spirit stones in his inner pocket seed to have varying degrees of spiritual energy flowing towards the jade bottle,
Even after re-corking it, since the stones were so close to the bottle, they slowly released spiritual energy which flowed toward the mouth of the jade bottle,
The faint purple within the crystalline liquid in the bottle began to flow slowly, gradually strengthening itself.
...
After the battle to wipe out the Xu Family, Chen Yi had exhausted his only dium-grade white arrow talisman,
For the ti being, he had no plans to engage in conflicts of the sa grade.
Safety is the priority.
Having settled the potential threats in the Martial World, Chen Yi could finally fully imrse himself in the pursuit of eternal life in the Immortal Cultivation World.
That very afternoon,
At the official registration office of the 32nd island in the Immortal Cultivation World:
"Hello, I would like to sign up for the Ascension Path."
