Chương 59: Dragon Nectarine fruit

"Don't forget this, Rio. A great sage once said, Greed makes a man blind and foolish and makes him an easy prey for death.

This greed became the reason for my downfall. I wanted to ascend to the unknown stage beyond the golden stage. I found records in ancient books that a place in corrupted lands has a mysterious Dragon Nectarine tree that can help a person ascend to the next stage.

I ventured deep into corrupted lands, where I found the place with the mysterious tree in a ruin. There were 10 ice-like transparent and cold fruits on the tree.

In the record, it was said one can only pluck one of these Dragon Nectarine fruits. I took one fruit and consumed it. The effect was sudden as massive energy rushed into my body and filled the dantian to the brim. I felt that I would reach the next stage by refining the energy essence stored in my dantian.
