The mont Noah's aura stabilized, his eyes snapped open as he surveyed the world with indifference.
*Woosh!*
With a push of his hands, Noah pulled himself off the ground and stood up, but his attempt was in vain as he was tackled by a figure!
"Sob! You scared !" Elysia sat on Noah's chest, pulling up the collars of his robes as tears trickled down her face. She did not say anything else and hid her face in his chest.
Xin Yan's body tried to move forward, but seeing Elysia along with Noah like that, she could not make her body move at all. Tears still caressed her cheeks, evidence of her worries for Noah.
The indifference in Noah's eyes did not fade away, but he covered it up with the slight trace of warmth he had in his heart. After what he saw and heard at the ti of his breakthrough, Noah seed to have made up his mind about sothing.
Looking at Elysia trembling in his arms and Xin Yan frozen a little far away, Noah sighed, letting them deal with the situation in their own way. He just lay there silently, waiting for them.
"What happened to you? Why didn't you defend against the last strike?" Xin Yan forced herself to snap out of her thoughts. It was not the ti for her to dwell on these things.
"Nothing… I… was montarily lost in my thoughts." Elysia, who heard his reply, jerked back and sat up straight. She knew that Noah was telling lies. It was not just her; even Xin Yan could tell it was a lie. The mont he was looking at the dragon, he was more than aware that it was approaching and he had the ti to react as well.
'It was more like he wanted to be struck by that lightning. But why would he torture himself like that, so much that he ended up on the brink of death?' Xin Yan thought as she looked at the woman sitting on Noah's stomach, hoping she could get so answers out of him.
Elysia also wanted to do the sa, but when she looked deep into Noah's eyes, she could not bring herself to open her mouth. Although his eyes had warmth looking back at her.
She could not express what she was seeing through his eyes, even though the warmth on the surface could fool soone like Xin Yan. But how could she, a being who was older than the first living being born on this planet, not notice sothing amiss? All she could feel was that she was looking at sothing empty and broken.
She wanted to hold Noah and share her warmth with him to make him feel better, but she felt that was not sothing Noah needed at this mont.
"Fine, if you are okay now. That's all that matters." Elysia bit her lips, trying her best to hide the pain in herself as she moved to get up. But noticing the trace of gratitude in Noah's eyes, she knew she needed to work on it.
Xin Yan was shocked to see Elysia of all people backing away without even asking Noah about anything, but when she noticed the helpless look on her face, she felt sothing was going on that she could not understand.
"We should leave. I am at the peak of my strength. By the way, what did you give ?" Noah stood up straight and adjusted his robes before inspecting his body.
He tried moving the Qi through the ridians, which had been ruptured before, but now both his Qi and ridian felt better than before. He noticed the chanism working inside his dantian. He was curious to see how there were nine rings and still, he was at the first level of the foundation establishnt Realm.
'Does this an, I need 81 rings in total?'
Before Noah could look into his cultivation technique for confirmation, a voice brought him out of his thought process.
"It was the essence of the dawn," Elysia replied calmly, and Xin Yan raised an eyebrow, seemingly recognizing the liquid just by its na.
"That milky liquid was such a precious elixir?" Xin Yan's shock was only natural; after all, morning essence was said to be one of the best heavenly treasures for mortals.
Noah was also a little surprised hearing the na of the liquid.
It was exactly what its na suggested; the essence of the dawn or Dawn's essence was a mystical morning dew that forms at the break of dawn in a secluded area. Since the formation of the dew is a very slow process, it needs a very stable and undisturbed atmosphere to form. It was ford by the infusion of the life-giving energies of the sun rays that co with the rise of the sun.
The liquid is pure white milk-like in appearance, and it is refreshing to taste. The effects of this dew were better than the taste of the dew; it is renowned for its extraordinary ability to rejuvenate and temper soone's body.
Drinking this helps in increasing a person's cultivation while bathing in it helps a person to temper their body.
This liquid works on everyone under the immortal realm, but since it was a scarce resource, only a few fateful people had the chance to encounter a mouthful of this liquid. A single drop of the liquid could take months if not a year to form, and it needed to be ford under favorable conditions with sun rays directly falling at the sa spot for years and years.
"How much of it was there?" Xin Yan asked curiously after changing back to her white robes.
"A pond?" Elysia sounded unsure as she was more focused on curing Noah, but after she looked again, she confird the amount.
"Do you want to get it?" She looked at Noah, asking for his confirmation, but he seed to be contemplating sothing.
"Is there a chance that soone might find that place?"
"No, the place is mostly deserted and there is no living being in sight of thousands of kiloters around it."
"Then leave the dew there, just fill this jar up. This should be enough for the
two of us. Any more than that might not work on us." Noah rejected the idea of taking the pond away while providing a space jar that could store enough water for two people to bathe in.
Elysia complied with his wishes and gave him the jar back filled with the mystical dew. The scent of the filled the room as Noah felt his mouth go dry.
There was another effect of the liquid, intoxication.
If taken in large quantities, this dew can beco the highest quality alcohol that was also aged with ti. Noah cald his cravings for having his first good-quality alcohol in a long ti.
"How much ti passed by?" Noah hurriedly placed the jar in his ring and asked Elysia about the ti.
"Almost a day. Why?"
"I will get familiar with my power, and we will leave this place after that."
Two days passed inside the pagoda, aning two hours passed in the outer world!
In these two days, Noah got familiar with his strength and the new technique he got from his technique!
"Let's leave this place." Appearing outside the cave, Noah announced as he saw the sun moving and preparing to set down. Xin Yan brought out her chariot which they all boarded. Elysia wanted to save energy by once again becoming the necklace, but she was shot down for obvious reasons.
