Fourteen Rings

Ryu entered the bounds of the Natural Order Sect once more for the first time in months. By now, the foul stench of rotting corpses had disappeared due to Ryu digging a mass grave for the fallen disciples and families. This left the Sect smelling of its normal natural air, the kind only possible when dense qi congregated in an area.

Knowing he didn't have much time, Ryu sped to the upper echelon gardens of the Sect, finding a familiar scene of sweet water and refreshing nature. However, what dampened this atmosphere were the over fifty barrels, each standing at over one meter tall. It wouldn't have been so bad had it not been for the fact that all fifty were filled to the brim with beast blood and Spiritual Roots.
