"Later, my ancestor also found some good things from other palaces, such as elixirs."
"Of course, he didn't dare to take them immediately upon getting his hands on them. In case any of them were poisoned, the consequences would be unimaginable. So, he first gave half an elixir to the family's pet dog. After confirming it was non-toxic, he took it himself."
"While taking the elixirs, he practiced the martial arts recorded in the books. Not many years passed before a top expert emerged in the martial world. For the next two generations, thanks to my ancestor's cultivation and their extraordinary talents, our family gained increasing fame, even alarming the ruling emperor."
"What a pity."
