Being called Junior didn't bother him. He had already assumed the stranger was some ancient reclusive elder from the Main Hall, and the Sect had no shortage of cultivators whose ages were impossible to guess from appearance.

Every movement became harder and every circulation demanded greater control. Even using a single strand of Immortal Essence meant having to withstand more pressure. As long as he didn't injure himself, his cultivation would gradually benefit from it.
