Chapter 243 243: 98% Purity

The magic formation shattered into shards of light and it didn't take that long before these shards dissipated

The light coming from the formation also vanished and the cave should have become dark again but at the center of where the previous formation was laid, there were actually some things that are giving off some light

In excitement and curiosity, Rezen approached these objects to see that they are actually small nine transparent crystal bottles

The bottles were laid in a circular manner and each of them has the same level of yellow-colored liquid inside

However, although they look the same, Rezen could clearly sense that they differ in quality

Each small bottle differs in quality that just being near some of the bottles made Rezen feel like he was constantly improving

In the middle of these bottles, Rezen saw what looks like a scroll. Whoever left these bottles here is clearly someone that came from a more civilized society

Aside from the book that Rezen discovered on the Metal Sword Tribe, this was only his second time to see paper, much less one that looks so high quality as this one

Rezen curiously grab the scroll and as soon as he untied it, the letters on the scroll suddenly moved on their own and they arranged themselves in the air

"To the Fated One,

You who are fortunate to find one of my hidden treasures, I hope that you will use them wisely. Always strive to grow and make yourself stronger. Use your power to improve humanity's life and fate in this realm.

Do not hesitate to fight against the magic beasts but also don't be filled with a blind sense of justice. Don't fight in battles that you think you have zero chance of winning. Be courageous but do not be a fool! Know your limits and strive to surpass them!

What humanity needed are living powerful mages not dead martyrs!

If your current power is not enough to safeguard these treasures, below is the method to conceal the aura and existence of the Holy Sun Water...

Best wishes,

Humanity's Guardian."

As soon as Rezen finished reading, the letters turned into flames that landed on the scroll and burned it to ashes

Rezen is not a stranger to magic anymore but what happened still amazes him. This is what a magical world really is! This is one of the things that he felt that earth lacks!

"Humanity's Guardian? Just who is that guy? How strong is he? For him to claim himself as humanity's guardian, he should definitely be above the Junior Rank..." Rezen mumbled to himself before staring at the bottles

Since there were nine bottles in total, Rezen believed that they should correspond to the nine cycles of the Junior Rank

The Holy Sun Water inside the bottles should have qualities that correspond to the nine cycles and although the bottles are small, the serving is still very generous considering how precious this resource was!

Each bottle should contain ten drops of Holy Sun Water while for the current Rezen, he only needed half a drop of the 1st cycle to have 90% purity

Half a drop! It's not even a full drop! Well, this was because he is still an apprentice, and the required number of drops when he reaches the Junior Rank would definitely be higher

Still, this was a windfall! This is exactly what Rezen needed! He can't believe that after being initially haunted by bad luck, his luck would suddenly erupt like this!

"With half a drop of the Holy Sun Water, my purity would instantly reach 90% and if I use another half a drop, I could reach 98% purity! There is no need to hesitate, I will use a full drop! 98% purity is basically the peak that I could achieve!"

Mages would prefer to have 98% purity when advancing, 99% is near-impossible and only elemental beings would have that high percentage of purity. As for 100% heh... unless a mage were to get a hold of treasures that are impossible to find even after hundreds or thousands of years, there is no hope of achieving that

Holy Sun Water itself is extremely rare. Even though Rezen hasn't entered a developed society yet, he could guess that Holy Sun Water would have enormous demand but no market in developed places of this realm

"After I purify my body, I basically could attempt to become a Junior Mage but I must not make haste. It's better to prepare myself for at least a few days to guarantee success"

"If my advancement fails, the best-case scenario is that I would be grievously injured. In the worst-case scenario, I might lose hope in advancing again or even die. Even if I feel like I could succeed, I must not become so arrogant"

Rezen calmed himself before grabbing one of the crystal bottles that emits the weakest aura

It should be the Holy Sun Water with 1st cycle quality

Without hesitations, Rezen swallowed half a drop first and he instantly felt like his whole body was set on fire

When Rezen consumed the fruits of the Blue Jade Tree, although it was uncomfortable, it was not this painful

He could feel hot energies filling every nook and cranny of his body and the essence of Holy Sun Water not only flooded his body, the essence also invaded his elixir field

Inside his elixir field, his soul could be seen along with his broken farm that shrunk so that it could fit inside

The essence of the sun spreads in Rezen's elixir field with some going straight to his soul to purify him

Fortunately, Rezen's farm might be because Ivy didn't absorb even a tiny bit of the Holy Sun Water's essence. If not, Rezen would need more drops of this rare treasure

"Aahhh!!!"

Rezen can't help but scream in pain, it felt like his whole being was set on fire

Unlike when he consumed the Blue Jade Fruits, he didn't belch out black substance that was the impurities of his being

The essence of the Holy Sun Water directly burned the impurities, giving Rezen a sense of comfort after the enormous pain

It felt like he just finished washing his whole body and even his soul. This was the time that Rezen felt the cleanest

"Even with my pain tolerance, that was still painful yet I have to consume another drop and experience that pain again" Rezen sighed

He didn't consume a full drop earlier for fear that his body cannot endure it and he decided to consume half a drop at a time

Despite the horrible pain, Rezen didn't hesitate to consume the remaining half a drop and the same thing as before happened

"[Ding! Host's purity has reached 98%]" Ivy notified him and Rezen checked himself

"My elixir field expanded and I now have more mana than power. I also felt like my talent has increased and..."

Rezen clenched his fist and threw a punch in the air. He felt physically more powerful than before but for the specifics, it would require some practice

"Great! Really great! No wonder that Holy Sun Water is a peerless treasure, not only did it purifies my body and soul, I even improved in other areas!" Rezen said happily

Now that he has a purity of 98% it's only a matter of time before he becomes a Junior Mage, one that is stronger than most thanks to his high percentage of purity!

"Time to go back" Rezen muttered before focusing his attention on the nine crystal bottles

The letter contained a way to hide the aura of the Holy Sun Water. Using the crystal bottles, Rezen could make it look like the bottle was your regular mana potion bottle or even make it look like the bottle was empty

"The bottles themselves should also be treasures" Rezen pursed his lips before he had the bottles absorb his mana while imagining what he wants them to look like

The pretty crystal bottles that were originally glowing because of the Holy Sun Water they contained turn into your average-looking wooden bottles that couldn't be any more ordinary

Rezen couldn't even sense anything from these bottles anymore as if they were as normal as wooden bottles could be

A smile hung on Rezen's lips as he cautiously returned to his path earlier. The moment he notice any sign of danger, he would run away immediately

However, it seems like lady luck is smiling at Rezen again. He only saw the traces of the fight between the magic beasts but he couldn't see them anymore

With that, he heaved a sigh of relief before returning to his tribe without anything else happening
