Huang Shi had been trapped at the Pathseeker Realm for centuries.
His lifespan was nearing its final stretch.
If he couldn't break through soon, he would be left with only one path—
Waiting for death.
That was why he had come here.
Recently, he had paid an astronomical price to consult the Heaven's Secret Pavilion, seeking insight into his fate.
The answer they gave him was simple—
His chance for rejuvenation lay here.
And now, seeing what had just transpired with Mo Yuan, Huang Shi's heart pounded with excitement.
The Heaven's Secret Pavilion truly lived up to its reputation!
He took a deep breath and turned toward Luo Chuan.
"Boss, can I purchase one?"
Luo Chuan gave a casual nod.
"Of course."
Huang Shi approached the light curtain.
As he reached out with his spiritual sense, a vast, boundless presence filled his mind.
It was overwhelming.
Even with his cultivation, he felt a momentary dizziness.
But he suppressed his shock and proceeded.
The next moment, he felt a drain on his spirit crystals, and then—
Four objects materialized in his hands.
The crowd stared intently.
They knew exactly what Huang Shi had just purchased.
The Jade Nectar Dew—that could restore vitality.
But could it truly extend life?
It cost 100,000 spirit crystals—a painful price, even for those at the Pathseeker Realm.
If it turned out to be useless, it would be a massive loss.
So rather than rushing in blindly, they chose to wait and watch.
Let Huang Shi be the first to test it.
Huang Shi placed the other three items in his spatial ring.
Then, with steady hands, he uncorked the Jade Nectar Dew.
A rich, intoxicating aroma instantly filled the air.
The reaction was immediate.
"This scent?!"
Huang Shi's eyes widened in disbelief.
It wasn't just fragrant—it was alive.
The moment the scent reached him, he felt a faint warmth spread through his aging body.
A long-lost vitality.
The surrounding cultivators twitched their noses, eyes gleaming with craving.
"This… this is wine!"
"It's not just wine—this is divine nectar!"
"Just the scent alone is enough to make me feel ten years younger…"
Some of the younger cultivators gulped.
"Can we even afford this?"
A few of the older ones clenched their fists.
"If it's truly effective… then no price is too high."
Hu Kuang and Mo Yuan had paused their bickering and were now staring at the Jade Nectar Dew with newfound interest.
Hu Kuang smirked.
"Hey, Monkey—your Monkey Wine is supposed to be top-tier, right? Think it can compare to this?"
Mo Yuan had also purchased a bottle, but like Hu Kuang, he had been too reluctant to drink it.
The Monkey Wine of the Demon Ape clan was legendary, brewed from the rarest spirit fruits and elixirs of the Nine Stars Mountains.
Its effects were immense, and its taste was said to rival the best in the world.
Mo Yuan was silent for a moment.
Then, he shook his head.
"It's not even close."
His tone was flat, but his expression held undeniable respect.
"My Monkey Wine is excellent, but compared to Jade Nectar Dew, it's not even of the same grade."
Hu Kuang let out a booming laugh.
"Ha! So even you admit it!"
Mo Yuan rolled his eyes and ignored him.
Meanwhile, Huang Shi had finally calmed his emotions.
With slow, deliberate movements, he brought the Jade Nectar Dew to his lips.
The crystal-clear liquid slid down his throat—
Cool at first, followed by a wave of blazing warmth.
An explosion of flavors erupted in his mouth.
For a moment, he felt as though he was standing in a vast orchard, surrounded by endless spirit fruits.
Then—
Boom!
A surge of pure life energy erupted within his body.
He clenched his fists as the warmth spread to his limbs, his core, his very soul.
Rebirth
The surrounding cultivators watched in stunned silence as a shocking transformation unfolded.
Huang Shi's wrinkled skin smoothed out at a visible pace.
His gray hair darkened, regaining its rich black sheen.
The aura of decay that had once clung to him was erased—
Replaced by a vibrant, powerful vitality.
Rejuvenation.
He wasn't just restored—he was reborn.
The cultivators who had been watching with skepticism were now staring in horror and awe.
Some of them had thought the Jade Nectar Dew would provide, at best, a small boost to longevity.
But this…
This was on an entirely different level.
Silence fell over the crowd.
Then, someone muttered—
"This… this is real…"
Another cultivator gritted his teeth.
"I need this!"
And then—
Chaos erupted.
Dozens of cultivators rushed forward at once, their eyes burning with desperation.
"Boss! I'll buy one!"
"Me too!"
"One hundred thousand spirit crystals? I'll pay double if I have to!"
Luo Chuan remained unfazed, watching the scene unfold with mild amusement.
He had expected this.
Because in a world where time was the ultimate enemy—
The chance to turn back the clock was worth any price.
