In the distance, two Taoist priests in yellow robes hurried over. They were the ones in charge of this place: Master Clark and another newly arrived direct disciple of the Celestial Master’s Mansion. “Senior Sister! You’re here too?”

Emily Grant: “I was passing by on my way back to the mountain. Since I saw what was happening, I stopped to lend a hand.”

She took out a small jade bottle. “By chance, I obtained some Tianyuan Clear Dew.”

The two fellow disciples of Master Clark were surprised. “The Tianyuan Clear Dew that Elder Ziyang searched everywhere for but couldn’t find?”

Emily Grant: “Just sprinkle it around. It wards off miasma and disease, calms the mind, and anchors the soul.”

The other direct disciple of the Celestial Master’s Mansion hesitated slightly:

“Senior sister, we actually don’t need so much Tianyuan Clear Dew here. Should we save some for Uncle-Master Ziyang...?”

Emily Grant: “Third Uncle-Master? How much does he still owe me?”

The other party could only give a wry smile.

Master Clark took the jade bottle and said with feeling, “Senior sister, your heart is with the people. Truly a blessing for the disaster victims.”

Emily Grant: “I just happened to be here. If I can help, I will.”

Master Clark nodded gravely and spoke earnestly to Jason Reed:

“No matter what the future holds, you and I must always remember Senior Sister’s teachings today. As cultivators, we should do our utmost to help those in need. Heaven cherishes life and pities the suffering of the people!”

“Yes, heaven cherishes life and pities the suffering of the people...”

But Emily Grant remained indifferent: “...Just don’t die at my doorstep.”

Jason Reed: “...”

The two fellow disciples of Master Clark: “Senior Sister...”

Emily Grant: “Get to work.”

“Yes, senior sister.” The two direct disciples of the Celestial Master’s Mansion carefully took the small jade bottle and turned to leave.

Soon, the disaster relief camp on the riverbank was shrouded in a layer of clear radiance, peaceful and serene.

Emily Grant flexed her fingers, and another identical small jade bottle appeared in her hand.

Jason Reed: “Is that also Tianyuan Clear Dew?”

Emily Grant: “I originally planned to use it all here for pestilence removal, but just now I split it into two portions.”

She looked at Jason Reed: “Do you have the Purple Gold Ganoderma and the scale of the Dragon Horse?”

Facing her, Jason Reed replied calmly, “By a stroke of luck, I obtained the essence of Purple Gold Ganoderma and a scale from the Dragon Horse.”

Emily Grant: “That’s quite a stroke of fortune. Let’s give it a try.”

As she spoke, she flicked the small jade bottle lightly. A little clear dew floated out from the mouth of the bottle, transforming midair into a cloud of green mist that enveloped Jason Reed.

Jason Reed showed no fear, immediately sitting cross-legged and quietly regulating his breath and energy.

The moment he saw Emily Grant, Jason Reed had been guessing that the third-grade opportunity mentioned in his top-tier fortune slip might ultimately depend on this Senior Sister.

The green mist surrounded his whole body, merging into him through his acupoints.

As Jason Reed breathed and circulated his energy, threads of golden light gathered in his limbs and bones, eventually condensing into a phantom of the Purple Gold Ganoderma.

The purple and green converged, and the ganoderma’s image immediately broke apart again.

Threads of golden light and green mist intertwined continuously.

At this moment, the Dragon Horse scale in Jason Reed’s arms suddenly vibrated.

Without Jason Reed injecting any true qi to activate it, the treasure automatically emitted streams of flowing light, which also merged into Jason Reed’s body.

He felt all the acupoints in his body open at once, with three streams of spiritual power weaving together as he breathed.

Jason Reed became oblivious to himself and his surroundings. From the outside, green mist and purple light intertwined around him, and even the sound of dragon roars could be heard.

All sorts of visual and audio effects were at their peak.

But on the riverbank, whether it was the many refugees and commoners, or the Taoist priests and novices of the Celestial Master’s Mansion, all seemed oblivious to what was happening here, as if Jason Reed didn’t exist at all.

People could only vaguely see a figure in a black cloak and purple Taoist robe standing by the river.

Just one glance sent a chill to the heart, and they quickly looked away.

After a long time, all the spiritual power finally merged and became one.

At that moment, a faint dragon shadow circled around Jason Reed, until it finally merged completely into his body.

The green mist and purple light dissipated.

Jason Reed opened his eyes, spiritual radiance overflowing.

【潜龙灵体】

A new understanding arose in his mind.

“Hmm, my innate foundation has been elevated from average to a kind of spiritual body.”

Emily Grant nodded, her speech as rapid as ever, words falling like a dense rain on a silver plate, but her tone always calm:

“The Dragon Horse scale, Purple Gold Ganoderma, and Tianyuan Clear Dew combined can create the latent dragon spiritual body...”

Jason Reed leapt up and looked down at himself.

He had transmigrated with his physical body.

According to the assessment of the Taoist Novice Academy of the Celestial Master’s Mansion, Jason Reed’s comprehension wasn’t bad, but his innate foundation was mediocre—at best, just average.

Not to mention being no match for those once-in-a-generation geniuses and prodigies, he was even among the lower or bottom ranks in the Novice Academy.

After all, as a sacred place of Daoism, the Celestial Master’s Mansion had a high threshold for entry.

Most of the time, an average foundation wasn’t enough to even enter the gates of Mount Longhu.

Back then, it was thanks to Emily Grant that Jason Reed was brought in.

In these past few months, thanks to the essence of Purple Gold Ganoderma, he had progressed faster.

The instructors praised him when they saw this, but their estimation of Jason Reed’s potential remained conservative, all because of his innate foundation.

Now, everything was different.

According to the tradition of the Celestial Master’s Mansion, the world today divides cultivation aptitude into five grades, from lowest to highest: lower, lower-middle, average, upper-middle, and upper.

But above upper grade, there are even rarer and more precious legendary cultivation constitutions, called spiritual bodies, sacred bodies, immortal bodies...
