In the scorching summer, during a quiet afternoon.
Oliver Adams carries a bucket, going towards the riverside.
His plan is to catch a few fish in the river to trade for money.
Despite being only 24 years old, he appears especially frail because of an accident at the construction site which left his reproductive organs injured, preventing him from doing heavy labor.
When he returned to the village after the accident, he was subjected to scorn.
Behind his back, the villagers would mockingly refer to him as "Impotent Adams" or similar insults.
This is a stigma that he will carry for a lifetime.
But there's nothing he can do.
His parents have passed away, and without any support, his relatives and friends avoid him, fearing they might somehow be dragged into his ill fortune.
He still has a high school-aged sister to support.
For him, life is extremely challenging.
He can only catch a few fish during the summer to exchange for money, to save up for his sister's living expenses.
In the modern era, without money, especially in a rural area, no one treats you with respect!
Oliver has tasted all the flavors of life: sweet and sour, bitter and spicy.
However, he always firmly believes that as long as he is persistent, there will always be a glimmer of hope in life.
He had never thought of giving up!
Just as he approached the river, he suddenly heard a cry for help. It startled him.
"Help...help...help me...please..."
Oliver quickly ran over. Lo and behold, a white figure was struggling in the river.
Looking closely, wasn't that the seductive woman from the village, Samantha Harper? How did she fall into the river?
There were rumors in the village that this woman was a bit loose. Because her man often worked outside all year round, she found it hard to bear the loneliness and liked to seduce other men.
But was it true?
However, at this moment, he had no time to think too much about it.
It looked like the woman couldn’t swim, so without any hesitation, he took off his vest and dived into the water.
Since he was in the river catching fish when he was a child, his water skills were good. However, since the incident, he had lost much of his strength.
He swam over swiftly. It seemed like Samantha saw a lifeline and grabbed his hand, hugging his entire arm tightly.
Oliver was suddenly startled!
However, he didn't have time to enjoy, and hurriedly used all his strength to swim her to the bank.
Samantha was struggling fiercely. Not only did she not help, but she also gave him many obstacles.
There's no choice, people who are drowning, are always like this.
After exerting herculean efforts, Oliver finally swam to the shore, pushing Samantha onto the bank with all his strength.
Then, he finally succumbed to exhaustion, his body fell limp, and he plunged down into the water.
After all, following the incident, he was physically drained. This time, in order to save someone, he could be said to have given it his all!A sense of dread filled Oliver's heart as he mustered all his strength in an attempt to float upwards.
However, at this moment, it seemed as if there was a strong force at the riverbed, dragging him downwards.
Filled with despair, he could only keep his wits about him and try to hold his breath.
Fortunately, the riverbed was not too deep, only about tens of meters.
At last reaching the riverbed, Oliver finally saw clearly.
At the riverbed, there was a twenty-centimeter-tall, nine-layered gold pagoda, from which the powerful sucking force emanated.
Oliver was shocked, "What on earth is this? It's golden, could it be gold?" he wondered.
Just as he was contemplating, a thunderous shout rumbled in his ears like a clap of thunder.
“I am an immortal being from the higher realm. Seeing how you have put others before yourself and have a pure moral character, I have decided to take you as my disciple and bestow upon you the precious relic Mystic Yellow Pagoda, and grant you three strands of innate Mystic Yellow Qi, which can restore your incomplete body.
I also grant you the divine Dragon Body Refining Techniques. Inside this pagoda, a Divine Dragon is sealed, which you can use to cultivate this technique.
Additionally, I bestow upon you the medical arts of the Creation Divine Needle, that you may wield this skill to save the world and help mankind!”
After these words, three golden rays of light shot out from the gold pagoda, rapidly absorbed into Oliver's body.
Oliver feels a comforting warmth spread throughout his body, and a tingling sensation below. He reaches down to touch and finds that he’s fully recovered to his original state.
Great! He can finally shake off the titles of impotent and eunuch.
To tell the truth, he's been ridiculed and discussed because of this matter for years. He’d had trouble keeping his head high in his village.
Inside, he is ecstatic, and beyond excited. This... this must be the result of the three Profound Yellow breaths!
While he’s thinking, the golden pagoda suddenly shrinks at a fast pace, turning into a golden light as it rushes toward him. In a blink of an eye, it shoots into his forehead and disappears without a trace.
Two massive pieces of information enter his mind.
They are guides of two cultivation methods: Divine Dragon Refinement and Creation Divine Needle.
The contents of these two cultivation methods are all inscribed in his heart in an instant. He comprehends them fully, feeling incredibly excited.
Haha, I inherited the legacy of an Immortal and became their disciple, who would dare to look down on me, Oliver, in the future?
At this point, that voice sounds again.
"The sealed Divine Dragon and the Divine needle are both inside the pagoda. You can take a look for yourself! With the divine skill that I passed on to you, diligent cultivation is necessary. Once you’ve cultivated the Divine Dragon Refinement to perfection,I will come to meet you and lead you to the Immortal Path. Go ahead."
Oliver is overjoyed. If it weren't for being underwater, he would've already started shouting in excitement.
At this moment, he feels like he has an inexhaustible strength in his body. Using a bit of force with his hands, he starts swimming rapidly upwards.
