Chapter 284
In the Celestial Realm, on the fourth floor of the Core, a grand wooden structure perched atop a steep cliff would come into view as someone gazed along the mountain ridge. If compared to a traditional Korean hanok, the eaves bore a massive plaque inscribed with the words Seondo Hall. It was a place where hundreds of adventurers trained in the Dao in pursuit of the power of the immortals.
One of the immortals of the Celestial Realm, Jo Young, strolled among the trainees, his hands clasped behind his back as he guided them.
“Close your eyes and focus your mind. Rid yourself of idle thoughts. A vessel must be empty to be filled while seated in meditation; keep nothing but the ‘Path’ in your thoughts.”
The trainees were adventurers from the third floor of the Core, eagerly undergoing rigorous training to acquire the power of the immortals and make their expeditions easier. Before long, their morning session ended, and plates filled with greens were distributed to each of them.
The dishes contained Gujisin Leaves, Snow Ginseng, and Grain Grass, all neatly arranged. The taste was utterly revolting, but consuming them regularly would gradually accumulate spiritual energy within the body.
“Eat with gratitude toward nature. Only then will the Path reveal itself to you.”
Jo Young also began his meal alongside the trainees.
The sight of him casually stuffing the bitter greens into his mouth left the trainees in awe. With newfound reverence for their teacher, they strengthened their resolve to pursue the power of the Immortals with even greater dedication.
“As expected of Master.”
“One day, I’ll be like him.”
The trainees started eating, unaware of what Jo Young was truly thinking. This tastes like trash.
