The next day, Wang Wei woke up feeling fresh and alive. He took a deep breath, feeling a vast amount of spiritual qi entering his body and washing away all of his pain, worries and fatigue--both physically and spiritually.
A few minutes later, a maid knocked on the door signaling Wang Wei that his bath had been prepared. And so, he followed her to the washroom.
Inside was a gold basin filled with very clear water. However, the water was shining brighter than polished diamonds. It also exudes an intoxicating scent that could attract lost travelers from thousands of miles away.
"What is this?" asked Wang Wei, to which the maid answered. "Young master, this is Holy Spring Water. With it, all the injuries and dark wounds you suffered during the Spirit Road Trial will be healed as if nothing ever happened."
Wang Wei looked at her and said, "I know this is Holy Spring Water. I also know that this is a precious material used when making Healing Saint Pills. I also know that even a sip of it is enough to save any dying cultivators in the Void Shattering Realm and lower. What I’m asking is why is it being used for me to shower?"
The young maid lowered her head and explained. "Young master, it was the order of the Sect Madam."
Upon hearing this, Wang Wei’s corner of the mouth started twitching. Although he knew that his mother could go a little overboard when it comes to him, he did not think that she would go that far.
’My father must be crying somewhere right about now and secretly cursing her for being too wasteful,’ thought Wang Wei.
Meanwhile, the maid--who saw that Wang Wei was not going into the bath--immediately knelt down and cried, "Young Master, please go into the bath otherwise later I will get into trouble with the Madam."
Seeing her like this, Wang Wei sighed, then nodded to her. Then, she got up and undressed him, then started to wash his back and hair.
During his bath, Wang Wei watched as all the scars in his body vanished one by one. Additionally, he felt like a heavy burden had been lifted from his body. He became more light and nimble. The ache he felt sometimes on his back was gone.
The Holy Spring Water was truly a miracle. Wang Wei felt like he had just acquired a brand new body; it was like he was just a newborn baby taking its first breath in the world.
After his bath, Wang Wei called Wang Ju to inform him of what important news he needed to know during the past year.
It was through her that he knew that Ji Song had already recovered and is already in the Bodyrefining Realm 6th-Layer.
Although a little surprise, Wang Wei thought it was a normal thing considering the deep foundation of the Great Zhou Imperial Dynasty. However, he also guessed that they must have paid a steep price to help him recover so quickly.
After reading about Ji Song, he looked at other news of things that happened. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked. "Wang Ju, do you know the origins of Yan Liling? I’ve never heard of Great Elder Yan Mei having a niece."
As such, Wang Ju explained. "Yan Liling is the heir trained in the Yan Family Secret World."
"Secret World?"
"Young master, each family in the sect has a Secret World that houses the Main Bloodline. The secret world served as a back up plan to preserve the family bloodline in case something were to happen to the ones outside. It also served as a way to train an heir for the family outside in case their descendants are mediocre. For example, Li Jun is the rightful heir of the Li family, however he was about to be replaced due to his low talent."
"However, since the young master intervened and proved that Li Jun was worth training, he was accepted as the heir of the Li family. As for the Yan family, since Great Elder Yan Mei did not have children, one person was chosen from the countless children in the secret world."
"Oh," said Wang Wei, "Since Yan Liling became the Yan family’s heir, she must be very talented?"
"Indeed she is. She has an extremely terrifying talent for pill refining. Without starting cultivating, she can use earth fire to make Top grade Profound Tier Pills."
"That is indeed a terrifying talent." said Wang Wei, then he thought, ’No wonder in the Spirit Road Trial, she could identify all of these ancient pills by just smelling them--despite the fact they were all rotten, expired, and even some of which were lost throughout history.’
