"Of course not. | was at the Semi-emperor Realm before | died.
But my flesh has lost too much life essence.
It might takea long tto regain my real strength,"
Angus said as he sighed slightly.
‘I'm glad to cback to life.
The only thing that troublesis my cultivation base fall from the Semi-emperor Realm to the Primal Holy Realm, ' he thought.
Austin looked at him and furrowed his eyebrows. Somehow, something he said caught his attention.
"What makes you regress in your cultivation base? Is it because your flesh lost too much vitality?"
he asked.
Angus, then, nodded. "Yes.
Although | used sarcane spell to keep this body, it has lost too much life essence through the years.
After all, it has been over five hundred years since my death.
As | have hibernated during those years, now, | have to cultivate step by step.
| only hope one day | could get back to my original cultivation level,"
Angus replied.
"Is there anything we can do to help you quickly restore your original vitality?" Austin asked.
He could feel the disappointment in Angus's voice when the latter replied, almost hesitantly.
"Yes, actually, there is.
But it's kind of difficult." He looked at Austin to check if he was still following. He was, but even Austin already felt unsure, hanging
on to Angus's next words.
"If we can find the Magic Sea Water—one of the three legendary magic liquid, it could replenish the life essence | have lost.
Magic Sea Water contains valuable life source. It is said to have the ability to help anyone regrow lost limbs or organs, and even
resurrect the dead.
| heard that the mermaid tribe who lives in the depth of the Middle World Waters keeps a small amount of Magic Sea Water.
If we can get sMagic Sea Water from them, perhaps | can recover my lost vitality soon.
But | have never met those sea beasts in the Middle World Waters yet. | don't think they will help us,"
Angus replied after contemplating for a while.

‘Magic Sea Water?" Austin thought.
The frown on Austin's face disappeared instantly as he remembered something.
He then grinned with a relieved expression on his face. Maybe he could help Angus restore the life essence he lost.
"If you need other precious treasures, | might not be able to get them to you immediately.
But if it's the Magic Sea Water, things are much easier..."
He touched his Space Ring with his index finger, and dozens of jade bottles showed up and floated in front of him.
A pleasant fragrance floated out of the bottles and drifted into the air. Both Austin and Angus felt fantastic as the smell penetrated
into their nostrils.
Angus studied the bottles and saw that there were sdreamy azure liquid in each one.
The instant the jade bottles appeared in front of them, Angus put on a stunned expression.
He couldn't believe his very eyes.
He gaped at the bottles with astonishment written all over his face.
His breathing becfaster as he admired them from where he stood.
"These bottles all contain the Magic Sea Water. If it's still not enough, | got more for you," Austin said with a smile, obviously proud
of himself for a job well done.
Who knew Angus's problem wasn't that difficult? Or maybe they were just lucky.
‘Am | in a dream?’ Angus thought, barely trusting his sense of sight right then. His problem in which he wasn't sure how to even
begin thinking about, was already solved in an instant. The odds might have been in his favor.
His chest rose and fell because of eagerness or relief.
He took several deep breaths and finally put a restraint on his excitement.
"Austin, you surprisedagain.
With the Magic Sea Water, | can regain my life essence in a short time.
And | believe | will also be able to get back to my original cultivation base level soon,"
Angus said calmly with a laugh, inwardly thrilled at the fact that he had gotten one less problem to deal with.
Although he tried to hide it, the keen look in his eye gave his feelings away.
With a flick of his sleeves, Angus took the bottles of Magic Sea Water in front of Austin.
Since he had already seen Austin as his disciple, he didn't think there was any need to refuse to accept the Magic Sea Water. He
didn't even think twice on getting it. Besides, he needed it.
Without wasting any time, Angus took out a bottle of Magic Sea Water and drank it.
Then, he sat down cross-legged to cultivate. They fell quiet while waiting for the effects or if there would even be any immediate
effect right after taking it. Two hours later, he got up.
"Well, it's tto leave,"
Angus said, glancing at the valley.
He stared at it a little longer than needed. He wouldn't say he was a huge fan of the village life, but it was evident that he was
slightly reluctant to go.
After all, he had settled down there for nearly five hundred years.
Of course he had deep feelings towards the valley. It had a special part in his life no matter how much he tried to bury it deep in his
mind and soul.
A few seconds later, snapping out of his reverie, Angus stepped into the cabin and collected his things.
Meanwhile, he put all the high-grade herbs together with the soil in front of his wooden cabin into his Space Ring.
"Let's go,"
Angus said to Austin after giving the valley one last look.
He walked towards the entrance of the valley.
Austin followed him shortly, not letting the distance between them widen.
Soon, the two of them got to the bottom of the valley where Angus had dwelled in.
Then they headed towards the Emperor Library.
After travelling for half a day, they were relieved to see that they already reached a big mountain with luxuriant plants.
The Emperor Library was located at its peak.
Thrilled at this accomplishment, Austin and Angus flew towards the peak instantly, wasting no more time.
Soon, they landed on an old square.
It was paved with blue stones. Apparently, the square had a long history.
At the end of the square stood a three-storey palace which looked splendid. It had great facade which surely impressed anyone
who looked at it just as much as Austin was.
Seeing his reaction to the palace, Angus broke out laughing.

"The FlEmperor chose a good place," he remarked.
Austin looked at him. "When did you get to know the FlEmperor?"
he asked with curiosity.
‘Seems like Angus and the FlEmperor know each other," Austin thought.
Angus replied, "We got acquainted after we entered the Mysterious Nether World.
Five hundred years ago, | ran into the entrance of Mysterious Nether World when | was pursued by Lyman. Out of options, | broke
into this world.
Later on, | found the valley and dwelled in there.
About forty years later, the FlEmperor barged into the Mysterious Nether World, too. At that time, he was dying.
Desperate, he entered the Medicine Valley by chance and spotted me. We actually had a fight.
As tpassed by, we shared stories with each other and found that we had the similar experiences. That's when we decided to
settle and live with our differences and finally made peace.
He, then, stayed in the Emperor Library."
Angus stared at the palace as he told Austin his history with the FlEmperor.
Now, Austin understood how they got acquainted.
"Let's go meet the FlEmperor, Angus,"
Austin proposed, eager to finally meet him.
"Okay. I'd like to see this guy,"
Angus responded with a smile.
Austin shook his head and smirked back at him as the two of them dashed towards the palace.
Meanwhile, on the third floor of the Emperor Library, a human shaped shadow was sitting cross-legged on the top of a gigantic
scarlet pillar.
The man was dressed in red and was meditating with his eyes closed. He looked like a well-read scholar.
All of a sudden, he opened his eyes, gleaming, obviously reflecting what he felt inside.
His eyes radiated sheer joy reverberating through his entirety.
"Is that brat coming back?"
the man murmured with untold delight in his voice, as he smiled slowly at his thought.
