Chen Mo's question left the remnant soul, True Master Qingxuan, unsure how to answer for a moment.
"What? You don't want to tell me?" Chen Mo asked.
True Master Qingxuan looked at him and grumbled inwardly. You already know, yet you still ask. You really have no tact at all. If I could say it, I would have said it long ago. I avoided these questions precisely because I didn't want you to know.
Though he complained endlessly in his heart, he knew he still had to answer the question.
As his thoughts turned, he came up with a solution.
"Fellow cultivator, I never intended to hide anything. I simply did not wish to revisit old matters." True Master Qingxuan paused and looked at Chen Mo's expression. Seeing no change, Chen Mo merely stared at him and waited for the rest of his answer, so he could only continue. "Back then, my friend and I had both reached Golden Core perfection. We were only one step away from breaking through the Golden Core Realm and entering the Nascent Soul Realm. However, relying solely on our cultivation to take that step, there was an eighty or ninety percent chance we would be unable to advance any further. Therefore, cultivators at Golden Core perfection would use pills to assist their breakthroughs when advancing."
"There were many kinds of pills that could assist with breakthroughs, but the best one, and the one that could increase the odds of breaking through, was the Nascent Soul Pill. It was considered a rare pill among pills. By a stroke of fortune, I obtained one Nascent Soul Pill."
True Master Qingxuan seemed to have recalled the days of old, and his gaze turned somewhat distant. Chen Mo found it rather amusing. He was merely a remnant soul,
