"Take good care of them! That's the only way to atone for your mistakes. Greed, jealousy, and ambition will only make you forget yourself. Look at those two children (Renggin Ang and Ampy Ang); they support each other to survive. Because of your actions, they have grown up without parents. Because of your selfishness and greed, my descendants in the next generation are struggling to find protection," Duata Hun admonished Elder Mo.

Elder Mo continued to bow his head, unable to look at the ancestor's face. His mouth was locked tight, unable to speak. Suddenly, tears fell from his eyes to the ground. He truly regretted his past actions.

The ancestor stepped closer, standing tall in front of Elder Mo. "Lift your head! Look at me!" he commanded.

This morning, they lost a bet and owe the Sang family 20,000 gold coins," Sung Sang remarked, referring to Renggin Ang."Oops... no wonder you insist on maintaining a good relationship with the Lin family, and unfortunately, now the Lin family is completely destroyed. Tsk tsk. What a waste," Su Ling said mockingly.Ampy Ang covered Renggin Ang's ears so he wouldn't hear their useless chatter. "Brother, it seems someone has informed them of our arrival here," the girl whispered."Huh? Who?" Renggin Ang replied in a whisper."The eldest brother. He is behind that gate," Ampy Ang pointed.Suddenly, Sung Sang jumped to kick Renggin Ang's head. "How dare you ignore me!"Whap!Renggin Ang caught Sung Sang's foot with just one hand. His eyes bulged. Then the boy twisted Sung Sang's leg with enough force that Sung Sang's body flipped in the air and crashed to the ground.Thud!"Aargh." Sung Sang got back up with an angry

    "I will ask seven questions. For each correct answer you give to one question, you may take more than one book. Except for the fire and wood element books, you must pass one more test from the guard on the second floor," said the guard on the first floor.The **academic library** consists of three floors. The first floor is for low-level technical books, the second for intermediate-level books, and the third for advanced-level books. Each floor has a guard ready to test the arrival of every student."Alright.

    On the day before Renggin Ang and Ampy Ang went to the academic library, Elder Mo stopped them to share some information."Just to be safe, I inform you that the guard of the first-floor library is Mr. Kwe Ci, the academy leader. He is my comrade in arms. That black jade is a sign of my complete trust. So, the leader may ask you some questions about me," explained Elder Mo."Mr. Kwe Ci is the younger brother of the leader of the Ci family?" asked Ampy Ang."Correct.""If the leader questions that, I will quickly answer all his questions. Doesn't that sound cool? Hehe," Renggin Ang chuckled.Then they set off to the academy.As Renggin Ang entered the second floor, suddenly an explosion surprised him and knocked him back hard. Ampy Ang quickly dropped the books she was holding in both hands and caught Renggin Ang's back. The door to the second floor closed itself again."Ugh, what was that explosion?"

"Haish, those people's eyes are so annoying," she muttered.For a moment, Ampy Ang ignored them, but they continued to approach with the demeanor of arrogant people trying to assert their power. Some of the men walked towards Ampy Ang with their legs slightly apart."Hey, beautiful little girl. Let me help you," said a young man, extending his hand to Ampy Ang while flashing a smile."Thank you for the offer. But I don’t need help," replied Ampy Ang with a cold expression, turning her face away from the men.The young man grabbed Ampy Ang by the shoulders and turned her around to face him again. "Do you know who I am?" he said, pressing Ampy Ang's chin lightly with his thumb and index finger."I don’t care who you are!" The girl shot back, her face showing displeasure."Hahaha." Some people behind the young man laughed. "Daring to refuse Young Master Tin Ju, this girl's life is done for.""Tsk! So arrog

    After a long time climbing, Renggin Ang had not found a single ingredient to make the pill. As night fell, he stepped onto the mountain peak, his eyes widening in awe. There, he saw various types of plants and vegetation. The area atop the mountain resembled a garden. Many fireflies flitted about, illuminating the dark night. "Wow! Are all of these medicinal plants?""Be careful! Some of the plants here contain poison!" cautioned the ancestor.Then, Renggin Ang's gaze fell upon an old gray tree. It had a distinct smell, with light reddish-brown wood and single, stiff leaves that resembled skin, alternating in arrangement, with petioles measuring 0.5–1.5 cm long and three curved leaf veins."Grandpa Ancestor, isn’t this the legit wood tree?" Renggin Ang asked, pointing at the tree."That's right. Take some if you need it, and look over there!" Duata Hun pointed to a single-leafed plant, egg-shaped, with pointed ends and serrated edges. Its white flowers sparkled beautifully in the nigh

Ampy Ang asked, feeling reluctant."Seeking knowledge to the ends of the Ni Continent."Ampy Ang fell silent."This..." Li Lin handed a light blue jade to Ampy Ang. The jade was shaped like a snail shell with a white dot in the center. "When my father was still alive, he asked me to give this jade to you," he said."I will wait for you." The girl tightl

    "There is no escape!" murmured Ampy Ang, surrounded by shadow assassins. "Huh, I need to think of a way to save them."Two shadow assassins captured Ampy Ang and brought her before Pang Ling. The girl quickly turned her face away, hoping the man in front of her wouldn't recognize her."Hoho.

    "You are the herbalist who made those pills?" Rin Ci asked, stepping forward."That's correct, Miss. His name is Renggin Ang," Gon Tai pointed, introducing the young man beside him."My goodness... I thought a herbalist in my mind was an old man who smelled of the earth.""Pffft." Renggin Ang laughed."You are right, Miss. All the herbalists who have visited my tavern were grey and wrinkled, except for this boy." Gon Tai embraced Renggin Ang like his own child."But I'm already 10 years old. And I will only get older every day," Renggin Ang retorted."Bbbuahahahaha!" Pe Ci laughed heartily. "Already 10 years? My goodness... truly still cheeky."However, from Rin Ci's perspective, Renggin looked very impressive. Being only 10 years old herself, she felt a desire to get closer to him.*Ahem.* "So, what assistance do you need from a cheeky kid like me, Senior?" Renggin Ang asked, folding his arms in front of him with a challenging expression.Pe Ci looked around at the many visitors in t

    "Cuuuur!"The onion extract flowed abundantly from bottle to bottle. Renggin Ang made a mound of onions and extracted them into five bottles. This liquid was a first-level herbal potion. Its benefits were that if applied, it could heal external wounds no matter how severe within a day and a night. If consumed, it could heal internal organs no matter how badly they were damaged."You have mastered the basics of pill and potion making. The next level will be a bit more difficult in terms of production," explained Duata Hun."Like the antidote pills that mother made for Ampy Ang back then. I still remember that the making of ajw fruit must use a small flame so as not to damage the properties of the fruit," said Renggin Ang."Exactly."After that, Renggin Ang handed a bottle of onion potion to Go Yang. "Apply this liquid all over your sister's body and also have her drink it to heal her internal organs.""Thank you, Chairman," replied Go Yang, taking the potion."Remember, don't faint whi
