After entering through the portal, Xuan found himself completely alone, in a new dimension. Surrounding him was a vast and endless field of sand, and already, he could feel sweat forming on his head.
It was hot. Terribly so. In this isolated desert, he had no one to rely on but himself—for now, anyway.
Luckily, the night before, he'd prepared for this beforehand, and bought an item called a from the System Shop. This rock was originally used to help ice-attribute cultivators consolidate and progress their cultivation, but could also be used to keep something cool—in this case, Xuan's body. He carried it inside a pouch attached to his waist, and it served to keep Xuan's body temperature at bearable levels. He was still sweating, but he wouldn't be dying from a heat stroke anytime soon.
