After the fight with the assassins, Orion needed to cleanse himself of their blood and sweat. He walked towards the nearest pond, his body aching and his mind still reeling from the battle.
As he approached the pond, he could hear the sound of water trickling over the rocks, and he felt a sense of relief wash over him. The cool, clear water looked inviting, and he was eager to wash away the filth of battle.
Orion removed his clothes and placed them neatly on a nearby rock. He then walked towards the edge of the pond and dipped his toe in the water. It was refreshingly cold, and he felt a shiver run down his spine. But he was determined to clean himself off, so he stepped into the water.
As he submerged himself, he felt the water envelop him in its cool embrace. The sensation was invigorating, and he let out a contented sigh. The water was crystal clear, allowing him to see the bottom of the pond.
Orion began to wash himself, rubbing his hands over his body to remove the sweat and dirt that had accumulated during the fight. He took his time, enjoying the feeling of the water against his skin.
He closed his eyes and let his mind wander, thinking about the events that had brought him to this point. The assassins had been sent after him by someone who wanted him dead. Orion knew that he had to be careful, but he also knew that he couldn't let fear control him.
As he continued to wash himself, he felt a sense of calm wash over him. The sound of the water lapping against the shore, the rustling of the leaves in the breeze, and the chirping of birds in the trees all combined to create a peaceful atmosphere.
Orion took a deep breath and allowed himself to relax. He knew that he would have to face his enemies again, but for now, he was content to enjoy this moment of tranquillity.
Orion continued to soak in the pond, enjoying the cool sensation of the water against his skin. The events of the day had left him feeling drained, both physically and emotionally. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to clear his mind and find some semblance of peace.
Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by a voice in his mind. It was the system, calling out to him with an urgent message.
[Host, there is a treasure in the pond.]
Orion's eyes shot open, and he sat up in surprise. "What do you mean, a treasure?" he asked, his voice laced with scepticism.
[There is a treasure in the pond where I can really feel the Primordial Qi within it. It must be a treasure.]
Orion was intrigued. He directly stood up and scanned the pond, searching for any signs of the supposed treasure.
As he looked around, he noticed that the water seemed to be shimmering slightly, as if reflecting a hidden light source. He waded toward the centre of the pond, the water rising up to his waist.
Orion closed his eyes and focused his Qi, trying to sense any unusual energies or vibrations. Sure enough, he could feel a strange, pulsating energy emanating from the water beneath him.
"It's real," he muttered to himself, his voice filled with excitement. "There really is a treasure in here."
Orion took a deep breath and dove underwater, his body slicing through the water with ease. He opened his eyes and saw a glimmering object at the bottom of the pond, nestled among the rocks and debris.
He reached out and grabbed the object, pulling it to the surface. It was a small, ornately decorated box made of some kind of ancient metal. It was heavy and cool to the touch, and Orion could feel a faint hum of energy emanating from within.
He opened the lid of the box and saw that it was filled with a glowing blue liquid. It was unlike anything he had ever seen before, and he could feel its power pulsing through his veins.
"This is it," he said, his voice barely above a whisper. "This is the treasure."
He couldn't believe his luck. Finding a treasure like this was rare, and he had stumbled upon it by chance. But what was this glowing blue liquid, and what could it do? He decided to ask the system for more information.
"What kind of treasure is this?" he asked the system.
[Based on my analysis, it appears to be a highly concentrated form of Primordial Qi, which has been infused with various rare elements to enhance its potency.]
Orion was impressed. He looked back at the box, studying the intricate designs etched into its surface. It was clear that whoever had created, it had gone to great lengths to ensure that it was not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.
"So, what do I do with it?" Orion asked, turning his attention back to the system.
[Host is advised to drink it. The host has already cultivated Primordial Qi, and this highly concentrated form of Primordial Qi of liquid could enhance host's cultivation tremendously.]
Orion's heart raced with excitement as he stared at the glowing blue liquid within the ornately decorated box. The liquid was unlike anything he had ever seen before, pulsing with an intense energy that he could feel just by looking at it. He carefully uncorked the bottle and examined the liquid closely.
The liquid was a vibrant shade of blue, almost like a neon light in liquid form. It shimmered and danced within the bottle, almost as if it were alive. Orion could feel the power emanating from the liquid, and he knew that it was something special.
He brought the bottle up to his nose and inhaled deeply. The liquid had a sweet, almost floral scent, but there was an underlying hint of something metallic that made his nose twitch. It was a strange combination, but it only added to the mystery and allure of the treasure.
Without hesitation, Orion lifted the bottle to his lips and drank deeply. The liquid was cool and refreshing, with a slightly tangy taste that made his taste buds tingle. As he swallowed, he could feel the liquid coursing through his body, filling him with a new energy and vitality.
