A defeated underling who had lucked into becoming a Title Douluo was one thing,
but how could he, and how did he deserve to, become a god before him?
"Foundation Establishment? Could that truly be a realm above Douluo, God Level?"
"A mere fairy maiden can produce such precious pills. Then what realms are the Heavenly Emperor and the Dao Venerable in?"
Within the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu spoke in a low, contemplative voice.
He was older, after all, and his emotions had gradually settled. Instead, he found himself increasingly eager to uncover the truth of the Prehistoric World.
"God Level must be a power beyond gods!"
Qian Renxue's eyes blazed as she spoke resolutely,
"No matter what, I will reach that realm!"
"I really hope I'm chosen next time!"
Qian Daoliu looked silently at his granddaughter, considering whether he should have her undergo the Divine Examination ahead of time. Perhaps that might give her a sliver of hope?
But when he thought of how the final step on the divine path required him to sacrifice himself,
he could not bring himself to leave her
to face this treacherous situation alone.
"This should do it!"
Only after Shui Bing'er's aura gradually stabilized did Feng Qing'er lead her out of the Flat Peach Garden.
In an instant, even more violent spiritual energy surged into every limb and bone of Shui Bing'er's body.
"It may feel a little uncomfortable at first, but it will help you absorb the medicinal power. You'll be fine once you adapt!"
Seeing Shui Bing'er's little face flushed red from holding on, Feng Qing'er comforted her.
"Mm, I'll endure it. I won't disappoint you, Sister!"
Feeling her cultivation soar, Shui Bing'er gritted her teeth and persevered.
Feng Qing'er nodded,
then rode a cloud deeper into the Heavenly Court.
"That is the Apricot Garden. It contains the Immortal Apricot, one of the Ten Great Spiritual Roots of the Prehistoric World. It is no worse than the Flat Peach!"
"That is the Plum Garden. There is only one spiritual root inside—the renowned Huangzhong Plum of the Prehistoric World..."
Shui Bing'er looked at those gardens, their walls imposing and their air brimming with Dao essence,
her eyes filled with envy, though she did not dare entertain any improper thoughts.
Being able to smell an Immortal Peach was already an extraordinary blessing,
so she did not dare wish for more.
"I can't leave the Flat Peach Garden for too long. Fellow Daoist Lan Fuzi will guide you from here on!"
"When you have time, you can come to the Flat Peach Garden and play with me!"
After leading Shui Bing'er to the Imperial Garden's administrative office, Feng Qing'er took her leave.
"Shui Bing'er?"
Lan Fuzi carefully examined Shui Bing'er,
"Greetings, Immortal Lan!"
Shui Bing'er bowed respectfully, as nervous as though she were facing a major examination.
"You're covered in turbid aura, and you don't even understand etiquette. Come with me. First, go wash yourself. Then I'll teach you the rules and etiquette of the Heavenly Court!"
Lan Fuzi frowned slightly, turned, and gestured for her to follow.
Shui Bing'er lowered her head and sniffed herself in grievance. She was clearly fragrant,
but she did not dare argue and hurried after her.
The two arrived at a great hall filled with white jade bathtubs.
Lan Fuzi pointed at one jade tub. A half-person-tall jade bottle beside it opened automatically, and a stream of milky-white liquid poured into the tub.
Its fragrance permeated the air, flecks of starlight glimmering within. Just one breath made her whole body feel refreshed.
"In our Imperial Garden, you may encounter the Heavenly Emperor or the Dao Venerable at any time, so you must remain clean!"
"Soak for a while. The Hundred Flower Dust-Washing Liquid is made from Sun-Moon Starlight Liquid and the essences of a hundred flowers. It can wash away the turbid aura covering your body!"
"This is your Daoist robe. Come find me after you finish soaking!"
After saying that, the female official tossed Shui Bing'er a blue immortal robe and turned to leave!
Looking at the bathwater, which resembled jade nectar, Shui Bing'er fell silent once more.
"What a waste of heavenly treasures!"
"How could such Immortal Dew be used for bathing?!"
The Douluo viewers cried out in unison. Just looking at it, they could tell it was extraordinary. Wouldn't a single sip raise their cultivation by more than ten levels?
Yet quite a few people stared without blinking, holding their breath in anticipation of what would come next—
"Sister, don't!"
"Oh no, this hateful Sky Screen isn't going to broadcast that too, is it?!"
Shui Yue'er anxiously stomped her feet, wanting to remind her sister that she was still being livestreamed!
Unfortunately, it was useless!
Just as everyone watched with bated breath, a sheet of white light rose and blocked all sight.
Curses erupted, but Shui Yue'er breathed a sigh of relief.
Shui Bing'er had not forgotten about the Sky Screen. Even without any censorship, she had taken precautions long ago, sealing off her surroundings with walls of ice.
"Wow, this feels so good! I've never taken such a comfortable bath before!"
The moment she stepped into the Spirit Liquid, Shui Bing'er felt as though every pore in her body had opened. Strange currents of energy washed over her muscles and bones,
and together with the pill she had taken, her cultivation rose rapidly.
"But it really feels so extravagant!"
Shui Bing'er scooped up a handful of Spirit Liquid. Dots of starlight sparkled within it, as though she were holding a piece of the night sky.
As if possessed, Shui Bing'er lowered her head and stuck out her tongue for a lick.
"So sweet!"
Shui Bing'er cried out,
not only was it sweet, it could even increase her cultivation!
"Drinking a little of my own bathwater shouldn't count as stealing, right?"
No one would know anyway, and she was so clean that it was not dirty at all!
Blushing, Shui Bing'er secretly took another small sip,
afraid that this might be her only chance
and that she would suffer a huge loss if she missed it!
"This outfit must be a treasure too. I feel refreshed and full of energy just by wearing it!"
After bathing, Shui Bing'er changed into the Blue Wide-Sleeved Flowing Cloud Immortal Robe. Her skin was crystal-clear, and she carried a faint fragrance.
She looked like an elf among blue flowers.
"Sister Lan, what should I do with this bathwater?"
Once she had dressed herself, Shui Bing'er called Lan Fuzi over and asked.
"What should you do with it? Pour it out, of course!"
"Remember, you must bathe on time every day from now on!"
Lan Fuzi sniffed Shui Bing'er with satisfaction, then waved her hand and had Shui Bing'er deal with it herself.
Shui Bing'er secretly felt it was a pity,
but she could only do as instructed.
Fortunately, she would have bathwater to drink every day from now on!
When the viewers before the Sky Screen saw Shui Bing'er lift the jade tub, they grew furious!
How could such precious Spirit Liquid be poured away?
It would be fine even if they were given just one sip!
"Ah, what a pity! If someone let me soak in a Spirit Liquid bath every day, I'd be willing to give myself to them!"
