Chapter 574: Rewards (1/2)
”Ugh...”
Raven struggled to open his eyes. He felt his head throbbing painfully and his whole body sore.
When he regained his vision, he saw a familiar ceiling. He's back at his pocket dimension, more specifically his personal residence.
Raven shook his head and recounted the events before he passed out. He communicated with his Avatars to know what happened after he lost consciousness and they answered him.
The journey back wasn't special. The Sect Master, his wife and Elder Fallon were all silent, in deep thought more specifically. Raven couldn't blame them for that since the events were too shocking, even he himself would probably be immersed in his own thoughts after witnessing that event.
That...was shocking.
To think that the Devil Emperor could do something like while being sealed is very alarming. And from the looks of it, the prisoner couldn't do it pretty often but it doesn't change the fact that it could bypass the seal placed by Ancestors and attack. As for how many times it could and the finer details, they could only assume for now, still that caught them off-guard.
Raven had no idea what the Sect Master's plans with the seals he gave to him. When they returned to the sect, he instructed Elder Fallon to sent Raven back to his residence. Once that was over, Elder Fallon left immediately and Raven rested for two whole days before waking-up just now.
Raven sat up from the bed, his face a grimacing expression due to the soreness spreading through his body.
”Damn, I did it again.” Raven grumbled as he clicked his tongue due to discomfort. ”I overdid it again. And here I was supposed to have a staggering amount of Cosmic Energy, yet the things I do makes it seem like I barely have enough.”
Raven smiled softly and shook his head: ”Additionally, there's no way for me to expand it since it's supposed to happen whenever I advance my cultivation. But since I'm an unorthodox cultivator, that task becomes harder than it would seem.”
He sighed dejectedly as tried getting out of the bed. His gaze inadvertently landed on the bedside table and he noticed something in there. It was a vial filled with a golden liquid with silver sparkles here and there. There's also a letter beside it.
Raven took the letter and read it's contents, it says:
”This is a Divine Spring Potion. This should help you recover all of your missing energy plus some. Take it as a reward for the mission. Additionally, you can pick any item from the Merit Exchange Hall and take it free of charge. You have done well this time. I'm expecting a lot from you. Work hard, 9th.”
This note was from the Sect Master.
Raven rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He read the letter about three times before finally adjusting to reality.
”Damn! So generous!?” He exclaimed as he carefully placed down the letter and took the Divine Spring Potion.
He inspected it for a bit and admired it's appearance. He then murmured: ”Divine Spring Potion. I'm afraid even in the Divine Realm, this is a top rarity. To think that the Sect Master willing to give something like this to me...I'm so touched I might cry.”
The value of this little vial of Divine Spring Potion is immense. If Raven wanted to, he could auction this off and he'd probably be able to receive at least five Lower Planes or a single Middle Tier Plane as compensation. It was simply too valuable.
It had to be known that drop of this liquid is enough for Raven to make a complete recovery. This small vial is already considered a lot. Even Divinity Realm experts would find it troublesome to get their hands onto something like this.
Raven took a deep breath and adjusted his position on the bed. After he calmed himself down, his hands turned into a blur. He opened the cork of vial, fetched a single drop of Divine Spring Potion and drank it while sealing the vial with the cork.
All of this was done in a blur as to make sure that any unnecessary loss in potency wouldn't happen.
Even though Raven only drank a drop of Divine Spring Water, he still felt as if he drank a whole gallon of water in one go.
