After swallowing the Spirit Pill, Ye Xiu soon felt a surge of energy within him.
This energy was delicate and gently flowed throughout Ye Xiu's body.
First, there was one stream, then a second, followed by a third... and a fourth...
Gradually, fine streams of energy appeared in various parts of his body.
These streams of energy were very active, intertwining within Ye Xiu, and before long, they coalesced into a single mass of energy that continued to move.
When the energy mass reached his abdomen, it came to a halt.
It began to warm up slowly, and Ye Xiu felt a comforting warmth spreading through his abdomen.
Then he clearly sensed the energy mass gradually dissipating, leaving behind a light orb the size of an egg.
Feeling this incredible power, Ye Xiu understood.
This was spiritual energy, and the light orb in his abdomen was the Spiritual Source!
Finally, he could sense the Spiritual Source; he could finally begin his cultivation journey! He was stepping onto an extraordinary path!
Although Ye Xiu knew he would eventually embark on this journey, at this moment, his feelings were beyond words.
Tang Luor watched Ye Xiu's joyful expression and couldn't help but feel happy herself.
"Perhaps this ordinary moment is my most beautiful moment. A year... just one more year..." Tang Luor thought happily as she contemplated the distant future.
In the comparison between the future and the present, Tang Luor felt a wave of sadness wash over her.
This subtle change in expression was noticed by Ye Xiu, who recalled the words of the jerk Zhang Ran from before. He decided to ask Tang Luor about the situation.
"What is this Revival Pill? It sounds quite precious."
"The Revival Pill is indeed very precious. As the name suggests, it brings back to life. As long as an ordinary person is not dead yet, it can save them, like you. For cultivators, the Revival Pill can revive those who are severely injured, as long as they avoid fatal wounds. With just one Revival Pill and a long period of rest, they can recover completely."
The rarity of the Revival Pill made it valuable; its effects were not as miraculous as one might think. For ordinary people, it was like a treasure. Unfortunately, alchemy had long been lost in this world. Otherwise, would a single Revival Pill even be associated with terms like treasure?
"Using such a precious item on me, is that really appropriate?"
"No matter how valuable a treasure is, if it’s not used, its worth cannot be realized. Don't worry. Besides, at that time, you risked everything to save me."
Ye Xiu recalled that moment: "So the pain back then was real! I thought it was just a dream!"
He scratched his head and laughed heartily.
Then Ye Xiu asked again, "Why? That guy you..." He hesitated for a moment before elongating his voice.
Tang Luor understood what Ye Xiu meant and continued, "That Zhang Ran is the eldest son of Maple Pavilion. The influence of Maple Pavilion surpasses my family’s. Once when I was out, Zhang Ran took a liking to me and wanted to force me into marriage. However, due to the existence of the Dao Alliance, he feared that my family would fight back fiercely and suffer losses. So he came up with a way to use something like the Revival Pill to bind me. But my father negotiated for a year’s time; if within this year our Tang family’s power surpasses Maple Pavilion's, then I can escape from his grasp."
Tang Luor sighed, feeling quite helpless.
It was no easy feat for a second-rate power to surpass a first-rate one. Moreover, seeing the Tang family's growing influence, Maple Pavilion would certainly not sit idly by.
Ye Xiu furrowed his brows, a hint of helplessness evident on his face.
Even though he was trying his hardest at that moment, to others, he was nothing more than an ant.
In Ye Xiu's eyes, the Tang family was a lofty existence, so far removed that he couldn't even look up to them.
Not to mention the Maple Pavilion, which even the Tang family had to avoid.
Ye Xiu clenched his fists.
Tang Luor didn't want to linger any longer, fearing that these beautiful moments would become an excuse she couldn't shake off in the future.
"Well then, Ye Xiu. Goodbye," Tang Luor said reluctantly.
"Huh? Are you in such a hurry?"
Tang Luor fell silent, gently lowering her head, her hands touching together and hanging in front of her.
The dignified Eldest Sister Tang would make such a feminine gesture.
If her Uncle Three saw this at that moment, he would surely be taken aback.
"I'm leaving now. Hopefully, we'll meet again by chance next time." With a determined heart, Tang Luor dashed out.
Ye Xiu merely watched her retreating figure, not leaving immediately.
Ye Xiu extended his right hand, looking at his palm. The expression on his face shifted from confusion to determination as he clenched his fist and placed it against his chest, raising his head to gaze at the sky.
Even if I am an ant, I will make a commotion!
…
In the distance, atop a tall building, a figure lay on the slender railing, one hand holding a Wine Gourd to their lips while the other supported their body. Their eyes occasionally glanced in Ye Xiu's direction, appearing as nothing more than a white mist to ordinary people.
"This wine is terrible! Absolutely terrible!"
…
In another mysterious, dark place, all of this materialized in the air like a holographic image of technology.
"My dear brother," a melodious voice echoed through the darkness.
Though the voice was soft, it carried weight.
"Our game has only just begun..."
