Yuan and his two lovely mothers, Anna and Grace; his elder sister, Lily; and his two beloveds, Emma and Xi ili, are now heading toward the north at an incredible speed on their flying sword up in the sky.
Suddenly, Lily's voice broke the tranquility, drawing their attention to a stunning waterfall nestled amidst the woods.
"Guys, look! There's a beautiful waterfall in the middle of the woods. How about we take a bath there? I'm sure no one else would be at a place like this," Lily suggested, pointing towards the small yet enchanting cascade in the distance.
Following Lily's outstretched finger, the group beheld the enchanting sight of the small yet captivating waterfall, adorned with colossal rocks that added to its allure.
Anna turned to Yuan, her eyes twinkling with excitent. "Dear, let's go to the waterfall. As Lily ntioned, it's a perfect spot for us to relax and take a refreshing bath."
"In fact, it's been a few days since we last washed ourselves. After the fight with those puppets last night, our clothes are drenched in sweat. It's quite unpleasant." Grace, wrinkling her nose in distaste, added, slling her own sweat from her clothes.
Emma chid in, agreeing with Grace's sentint. "Mothers-in-laws are right. It's uncomfortable to go without cleaning our bodies for days. Let's go and freshen up."
"Let's go then. I also want to clean myself, and the waterfall seems like the perfect secluded place where no one can see us." Yuan nodded in agreent.
He understood the importance of personal hygiene to both n and won, and he relished the opportunity to witness the beauty of his wives bathing in the waterfall 'naked'—a spectacle that most n could only dream of.
Lily's excitent was palpable. "It's great to see that you're on board, Yuan. Opportunities like this don't co often. Let's go and enjoy ourselves," she exclaid, eager to cleanse herself after several days without a proper bath.
The last ti they had taken a bath was in their own house back in Clover Town, the night before embarking on their journey. It had been four long days since they had cleansed their bodies.
Descending from the sky, they gracefully landed near the waterfall. As they touched the ground, they set their flying swords aside, preparing for a well-deserved mont of relaxation and cleansing.
As they approached the stunning waterfall, Lily couldn't contain her excitent. "Wah! It's even more beautiful up close, and the water is so clean! Look, there are small fish swimming around the rocks," she exclaid, marveling at the colorful fish gliding through the gaps between the rocks. These unique fish glowed in the dark, unlike any Yuan had seen on Earth.
Yuan, having encountered various fish species on Earth, was fascinated by this new discovery. He had heard of deep-sea fish that emitted light, but seeing them up close was a rare treat. Normally, such fish could only be witnessed in the depths of the ocean or in renowned aquariums.
Emma dipped her hand into the water and confird its coolness. "The weather is hot, and the water is refreshingly cold. It's perfect for a relaxing bath."
Suddenly, a thought occurred to Yuan, since they were going to cleanse themselves.
'why not utilize the Sacred Jade Dew elixir to remove accumulated impurities from their bodies? Who knew when they would have another opportunity to bathe before reaching the capital of the kingdom?' He thought to himself, thinking about using the secular Jade Dew' that he got from the Ancient treasury.
They had traveled for four days without washing, and it seed unlikely that they would find another bathing spot anyti soon. It made sense to utilize the elixir now and rid their bodies of impurities.
"Let's undress and get into the water, shall we?" Lily suggested, beginning to remove her clothes. The others followed suit, preparing to imrse themselves in the inviting waters.
But Yuan interrupted them before they could disrobe. "Wait! Don't take off your clothes just yet!" he exclaid, halting their actions.
Anna looked at him with concern and confusion. "What is it, dear? Why are you stopping us from undressing?" she inquired, puzzled by his sudden intervention.
"Are there any nearby monsters, dear?" Grace frowned, worried about potential threats lurking in the vicinity.
Emma pondered the situation, wondering if there were other people nearby.
"Or is it soone else?" She queried, unable to sense any human presence during their flight as they were high up in the sky on their flying sword, and with their senses as cultivators, they have the ability to look and sense things from a long distance.
Shaking his head, Yuan reassured them. "No, it's not that there's anyone nearby, apart from a few harmless low-level monsters. I stopped you from undressing because I've acquired an elixir that can help us remove impurities from our bodies. It will greatly benefit our cultivation by enhancing our speed and progress."
Lily interjected, wearing a serious expression. "That still doesn't explain why we shouldn't take our bath first! We can consu the elixir afterward."
Xi ili stepped forward, adding her insight. "Well, the reason is that after consuming the elixir, our bodies will begin expelling the impurities, resulting in a foul-slling residue on our skin. Trust , you wouldn't want to experience that odor after taking a bath."
The group paused, considering Xi ili's explanation. It was clear that taking the elixir before bathing would save them from the discomfort of the subsequent expulsion process.
"Oh, so that's the case. Well, I understand now why we shouldn't take a bath before removing our impurities," Grace exclaid after she understood that after consuming the elixir, their bodies will stink very bad.
Yuan smiled at their understanding. "Now you see why it's better to use the elixir before taking a bath. Let's take the elixir first and then enjoy a refreshing bath. We'll cleanse both our bodies and our ridian paths."
The girls nodded their head.
Yuan retrieved the bottle of Sacred Jade Dew and six small cups from his system storage. Placing them on the flat surface of a rock, he carefully poured the elixir into each cup.
Lily's curiosity piqued as she observed the elixir being poured. She couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Yuan, we know what this elixir does, but we don't know its na yet! What is it called?"
Yuan paused for a mont, finishing the pouring before answering, "It's called the 'Sacred Jade Dew'."
"Sacred Jade Dew? Quite the fancy na." Lily mutterd.
Yuan nodded, not realizing the significance of the elixir's na. "Yes, that's correct. It's called the Sacred Jade Dew."
Xi ili, furrowing her brows, couldn't believe what she had just heard. "'Sacred Jade Dew'? Is that what you said, hubby?" she asked, her disbelief evident in her tone.
Yuan, puzzled by the reaction, replied, "Yes, why do you ask?"
'I didn't mishear. To think that a remote planet like this possesses such a priceless treasure. Even in the Nine Heavens, only a few individuals of a Sacred family from above the sixth heaven possess the Sacred Jade Dew, and in very limited quantities.' Xi ili thought to herself with a shocked expression after hearing Yuan's clarification.
Noticing the change in Xi ili's expression, Lily couldn't help but inquire, "Little Sister ili, why are you making that face? Is this elixir really that rare?"
Xi ili sighed, trying to comprehend the situation. "Rare? It would be an understatent to say it's rare. This elixir is considered priceless. Even in the Nine Heavens, you can only find it above the sixth heavens, and only the Sacred Families possess such a treasure. And even they have only a small amount of it. You can imagine just how scarce and valuable this elixir is."
'Hubby's luck is truly aweso to find such a treasure at a place like this!' Xi ili thought with a smile.
The gravity of the situation began to sink in for the group, including Yuan. When he had obtained the elixir and placed it in his system storage within the ancient treasury, he had never imagined it to be of such imnse value.
'I never thought that I would get my hands on such priceless treasure at the ruin; it's definitely worth our ti checking the ruin.' He thought to himself.
His wives stared at the cups on the rock's surface, filled with the Sacred Jade Dew. Anna turned to Yuan, concern etched on her face. "Dear, is it really okay for us to drink this? It's too valuable to be wasted on us."
Emma echoed Anna's sentint, adding, "Yeah, it's too precious. You shouldn't use it on us."
Yuan's smile was gentle as he reassured them, "To , all of you are the priceless ones, not the elixir. Don't hesitate and drink it. Your well-being is my utmost priority."
With his words, the group looked at each other, their eyes reflecting trust and love. They understood that their happiness and health were paramount to Yuan, surpassing any material possession.
"Let's drink it together then!" Emma suggested.
"Agreed!" Yuan and the others exclaid in unison.
With his reassurance, they lifted the cups to their lips and drank the translucent liquid together.
"Wow!" they exclaid in unison, their voices filled with awe.
As the elixir flowed down Yuan's throat, he felt a refreshing sensation that quickly expanded through his stomach and spread throughout his entire body. It felt as if an explosion of energy had ignited within him, invigorating his being.
