Carson Flores slowly opened his eyes, his pupils brimming with excitement.
He had originally pinned his hopes on finding the Jade Pool and cultivating with the vast techniques of Hao Ran, to see if he could forge a new path to breakthrough. Yet, unexpectedly, he had barely arrived before someone gifted him three slices of raw fish, after which he made the breakthrough!
Carson looked around, the excitement gradually fading from his face.
The middle-aged man was gone!
Lilly Compton sat behind him, her cheeks flushed red, looking as though she had drunk herself into a stupor.
She was still cultivating.
Carson stood up, looked around, and then settled under the large tree.
Bold characters were inscribed on the thick trunk of the tree—"Till Fate Brings Us Together Again!"
Carson let out a long breath, from the perspective of an ordinary person, this might well be considered a mystical fate.
