Rainy Night

Why did humans experience birth, aging, illness, and death? Because the vitality within their bodies was constantly slipping away.

If one could replenish enough vitality, then immortality would no longer be empty talk!

And in Luo Chuan's eyes, the later phrase—"Those bound to die do not die; Soul Chasing from the Underworld"—was surely no empty boast either.

Seen this way, calling this Jade Dew something that revived the dead and grew flesh upon white bones was no exaggeration!

It was just the price...

Well, it was probably enough to make ninety-nine percent of cultivators stop in their tracks.

One hundred thousand Spirit Crystals was enough to equal the entire fortune of most Returning Origin Realm cultivators!

"Brewed? Does that mean this Jade Dew is wine?"

Looking at the system's description, Luo Chuan grew a little curious.

After a brief hesitation, Luo Chuan made up his mind.

A good thing like this—naturally, this shopkeeper had to be the first to taste it.

Besides, with the shopkeeper benefits granted by the system, he did not need to pay for it himself. Free food was still food.

Taking a deep breath, Luo Chuan slowly opened the Cold Jade Bottle.

At some point, a cool and secluded fragrance had already filled the entire little shop.

Breathing in that refreshing scent, Luo Chuan felt as though he had been transported into a vast forest.

After the delicate fragrance came a rich aroma of fruit.

The fragrances of several hundred fruits mingled together without the slightest disorder; instead, each remained distinct.

Finally, a rich and mellow scent of wine rushed toward him. Merely smelling it made Luo Chuan feel slightly dazed.

The wine in the bottle was crystal clear, reflecting dreamlike radiance beneath the lamplight.

Though Luo Chuan was not much of a wine connoisseur, he could still understand the exquisite quality of this Jade Dew.

He poured the wine from the bottle into the Cold Jade Wine Cup that had long been prepared nearby, and an even richer aroma of wine washed over him.

Unable to wait any longer, Luo Chuan raised the wine cup and took a small sip.

The wine entered his mouth, and first a rich fruity fragrance swept through his whole body, followed by waves of coolness...

For a moment, Luo Chuan felt every pore on his body open up, and he felt incomparably light from head to toe.

"Good wine!"

After downing a cup of Jade Dew, Luo Chuan could not help but sigh in admiration.

But the residents of Jiuyao City suffered for it.

Throughout Jiuyao City, nearly everyone smelled wave after wave of wine fragrance drifting through the air, yet no one could find its source.

"What kind of wine smells this good?"

"If I could take just one sip, I would have no regrets in this life!"

Almost every wine lover had such thoughts appear in their hearts.

But clearly, they were destined never to have that chance in this lifetime.

One hundred thousand Spirit Crystals—perhaps only certain extravagantly wealthy cultivators could afford such a sum.

Crack!

A peal of thunder suddenly rang out.

Then came wave after wave of pattering rain.

It had begun to rain.

After putting away the Jade Dew, Luo Chuan simply moved out a small stool and sat at the shop entrance, watching the rain outside.

The rain poured down in torrents, bringing waves of coolness with it.

Watching the curtain of rain beyond the window, droplets fell one after another, splashing up sprays of water.

For a moment, he actually felt a faint sense of unreality.

As if a lifetime had passed.

Someone had once said that rainy days were best at stirring the memories buried deep within one's heart.

Even someone as open-minded as Luo Chuan could not help but feel a touch of melancholy at that moment.

He had already been in this world for over a month. What was Blue Star like now?

Would any friends be saddened by his sudden disappearance?

He was only an orphan. Would there even be a gravestone for him?

When a person died, it was like a lamp going out. Perhaps before long, every trace he had left behind on Blue Star would be worn away until nothing remained...
