Zhao Yi returned to his quarters alone and began to consolidate his cultivation. Having just opened his acupoints and stepped into the 9th Layer of Qi Condensation, he had only replenished about half of his Spiritual Energy.
Later, after drinking his master's Crimson Mist Tea, he discovered that the tea not only refreshed the mind and kept one's spiritual soul clear, but it also contained some mysterious, unknown substance that entered the body and roamed throughout it before vanishing whenever he tried to sense it.
At first, Zhao Yi did not pay it any heed. His master and Old Shi should have sensed it as well, yet neither said anything, so he did not ask. But when he drank a second cup, that substance seemed to appear again. Zhao Yi immediately circulated his cultivation method, wanting to capture it, but it was completely useless. First, the duration of its appearance was too short; second, it flickered here and there, making it utterly impossible to catch.
