Anthony sat cross legged in the woodshed, trying to see if he could undo the spirit scattering powder. However, there was no method that worked. It rather led to backlash and internal injuries.

"It seems that I truly can't use my soul power without the spirit scattering powder acting up. Rather than lose all my cultivation I'm better off not using the cultivation for a while. It seems that my only option right now is the physique training art. It uses the bloodline potential to manifest. Since it involves burning the blood, it can be used without soul power. And I can manage the little spiritual power I retained to get things done."

Anthony sighed heavily. After placing the seal on himself, the soul power in his body became equivalent to pouring water into a sieve because there was nowhere to hold it. In the end, the amount of soul power circulating in his veins was pitifully small, unable to do anything substantial with it.

"Even if I practice physique arts daily to strengthen myself. How about my storage ring? Without soul power, I won't be able to access it. What should I do? Damn it! I shouldn't have given in to exhaustion. If only I didn't fall asleep immediately after leaving the portal, if only I didn't fall unconscious, I wouldn't have been in this kind of mess."

However, like the sages said, there was no medicine for regret. What happened already occurred. And no matter how much he cries about it, nothing will change. He only needed to learn how to live with it.

Anthony took a deep breath and began to cultivate his physique arts.

"Golden body physique arts. This is actually amazing, let's see what I can do with only a physique cultivation secret art at my disposal."

****

Anthony punched out at the boulder before him and it immediately crumbled into dust. The shockwaves from his fist even snapped the branches off the trees. He looked at his fist in amazement, and looked again at the boulder. A wide smile appeared on his face.

"I did it, I finally did. I crossed into the third tier within a day. Which means that I can reach the seventh tier in a few days. But what kind of monstrous bloodline do I have? How can my bloodline have so much primordial power? I'm not even from an ancient god clan nor am I the descendant of a primordial beast? Why does my physique which I awoke give off primordial energy? Who am I? Am I really from the Meyer family?"

The questions made him frown as he thought deeply about it.

"It seems like once I leave here, I need to find those legendary treasures that can show the true extent of one's potential and bloodline. I need to know the reason I'm not normal. Why do I still heal so fast despite the poison from that old man? Why can I understand these strange languages even though I'm from earth?"

The sudden sound of gurgling water made Anthony look up, still frowning. His eyes went wide with horror as he saw the disaster before him. The thoughts in his mind had since disappeared and all he could see was the devastation around him. The punch he gave the boulder went through the boulder to hit the mountain behind it. The spot where the shockwaves from the mountain went through to hit created a huge crater, which was now gushing out water.

Anthony's mouth dropped open as he watched the man-made fountain created by his fist. Water kept gushing out, and soon, the area around his feet was flooded, from a puddle it was quickly turning to a stream, which then floated down to the valley, probably to connect to the brown river a distance away.

"Oh my goodness. It's just a fist. How can it be so destructive?" He whispered, holding his breath with his eyes wide.

"What will I tell that old man?" Anthony whispered, looking around. But there was no way to hold back the water from flowing. And with each second it flows, the crater widens, making the water gush out with more force.

"Wait a minute. The water is warm. Did I just open a warm spring with the technique I created by combining my golden body physique with the hell breaker fist?"

As he was still marveling at the warm spring before him, multiple flowers suddenly began to shoot out the ground, surprising Anthony. The water soon went past his ankles, and more green leaves were floating up.

On closer look, a strange flower could be seen manifesting. Anthony bent and touched one of the flowers.

"This flower is strange, it has double petals, half of it is a water lily, while the other half is a water lotus, and the lily and lotus were joined together to form a unique flower. I have never seen this kind of flower before." Anthony muttered.

In Anthony's spiritual sea, the purple-green crystal was glowing as the nature's blessing bestowed on him inside the cave after leaving the elixir pool came alive. The power to create life out of nothing, and the power to scorch nature. However, Anthony was totally oblivious to the presence of such an amazing item in his spiritual sea that can give rise to new life forms. Coming in contact with the water formed by a branch of the huge spiritual vein beneath the mountain had made a sacred flower grow in the water created by the nature's child. However, even Anthony didn't realize the gift in him, making him confused about the phenomenon he was experiencing.

He caressed the petals and gently squeezed it, bringing out a milky green liquid.

"So fragrant." Anthony whispered and licked the liquid he squeezed out closing his eyes.

The next instant, Anthony's eyes shot open in shock.

"Impossible. How could this be?"

The moment he tasted the juice from the petals, a reaction occurred in his blood, and he could feel a tornado form in his mind. The tornado was swallowing up the spirit scattering powder.

Anthony looked at the water gushing out, then the mysterious flowers floating around him, his eyes wide with wonder.

"The flower is a detoxification agent that can filter and convert the spirit scattering powder. How amazing is this?"

Anthony stared at the flower for a while.

"I have never seen or heard about you, which means that it was the water from the mountain that made you come into existence. Since I'm the first to welcome you, I will be the one to name you. I will call you the sacred lotus-lily."

The moment Anthony completed the naming of the flower, the ones surrounding him created a circle around him. And silver light was emitted from the flowers which entered his body through his nose. At once, he felt a soothing heat flowing through his body, making him feel very relaxed. And he seemed to hear a voice speaking to him.

"The lotus is the most amazing water flower in existence because of it's ability to purify. A lotus can even grow in a mud pond, yet the flowers come out pristine and purifies the water around it. The seed of the lotus is very nutritious, and soothes internal heat. Just as lotus purifies impurities, this sacred lotus-lily also purifies impurities in the blood and organs. However, the spirit scattering powder is very stubborn. You will need three days of purification, with one day intervals between them to be completely rid of the poison, and all other hidden issues left from the inhalation of previous poisons. And the first day starts now. To be fully purified, you need to remain calm, because the lotus performs the best in still waters. Calm the storm in your heart and ease all the flames of distress. Only then will the inner peace from the sacred lotus-lily purify every antagonistic energy in your body."

Anthony immediately obeyed, taking deep breaths to regulate his body, while freeing his mind from every impure thoughts.

Two hours later, he opened his eyes and spat out a reddish-black substance clogging his meridians. This clot was what prevented energy from going through and causing a backlash when forced. And this substance was caused by spirit scattering powder itself.

Anthony waded through the water and stood beneath the fountain, washing away all the accumulated impurities from his skin. The water was so comfortable that he didn't feel like coming out of the water at all. However, all good things must come to an end.

"At least, I have found the place to take my baths. It's not too far from the residential area."

As if a bolt of lightning struck Anthony, the casual words he said immediately made him realize a problem. Since the area was close to the residential part of the mountains, doesn't that mean that the old man would be able to discover such a huge change in topography? When he notices the additional water body and investigates, won't he realize Anthony was the one who created it? When he sees the water lotus-lily, he will also realize that Anthony was close to getting rid of the poison. If he was truly malicious, he will immediately find another means to hold Anthony down, which was a situation that must not be allowed to occur.
