Beyond the Veil of Folly 45. Akademi Gendon Leader
"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. Whatever the questions are, we will answer them," Renggin Ang said."First, what is Elder Mo's position in this academy?""Vice Leader," Renggin Ang replied."Correct. Second, what is Elder Mo's spirit beast?""White worm. Oops, I mean Wind Dragon.""Ah, correct." The guard was slightly surprised by Renggin Ang's answer. "Has that old man really opened up to this child?" he murmured.In fact, the guard just wanted to test how close Renggin Ang was to Elder Mo and how well the boy
Beyond the Veil of Folly 46. The Book of Fire and Wood
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?" Renggin Ang groaned."Be careful. You should use the wain hatchi technique to open th

Since Ampy Ang separated from Renggin Ang, she had felt watched by several people. "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
Beyond the Veil of Folly 48. Becoming an Herbalist
Based on the ranking, Tin Ju was in 30th place. After he lost, that position was taken over by Renggin Ang.The elders, who initially did not pay attention to the boy, now continuously monitored his progress. His rapid advancement suddenly made Renggin Ang popular among the new students.The book borrowed from the academy library had a borrowing period of three years. The student who borrowed it must return it and cannot borrow the book again. So, whether he liked it or not, he had to master the contents of the book within three years. At midnight, while the other children were sound asleep, Renggin Ang went with his sister to Elder Mo's residence."Grandpa, may I ask for something?" Renggin said, cupping his right fist in his left palm and bowing his head. Beside him, Ampy Ang stood tall, holding three books: the ancient N-O-V-E-L book, The Book of Fire and Wood, and The Legend of the Bird King."What do you want?" Elder Mo replied."I entrust my friends to you, Grandpa. I have come
Beyond the Veil of Folly 49. White Wolf Spirit
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

Three Months Later...Thanks to Li Lin's help, Ampy Ang successfully gathered three spiritual stones of different colors. The young man had even ventured to the Itsnen Region to seek tranquility and study the techniques taught by his father. He took Ampy Ang around the area until they returned to the borders of the Ci Family's territory."I'm sorry, it seems we have to part ways here. Thank you for all the help you've given. I'm very glad to have met you and your brother. I will come back after I become strong enough to confront those killers," the blind young man said, a black and gold mask on his face."Where... where are you going?" 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
Beyond the Veil of Folly 51. The old money-grubber
"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. Let's see who dares to invade my territory!" said Pang Ling, yanking Ampy Ang’s hair and turning her head. Pang Ling was shocked to realize that the intruder was his dream girl. "You...""Chairman’s sister!" shouted Go Yang, interrupting Pang Ling."Do you know each other?" Pang Ling asked."No," Ampy Ang quickly replied."Heh! You think I'll believe that?!" Pang Ling smirked. "Guards! Bring me a machete to behead them both.""You!" Ampy Ang grated her teeth."Why? Don't you know her? So why do you care?" The man pressed Ampy Ang's chin until it touched her lips. "I thought you were dead." Suddenly, his tone softened. "I'll be kind and let them go if you agree to be my girlfriend.""Here, Young Ma
Beyond the Veil of Folly 52. Doing Business with the Tai Family
"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

As Ampy Ang was on her way to the Cincing Mountains with Kwe Ci, she revealed that she had lied to the Ci Family Leader. The girl did this because she sensed suspicious movements from a guard in front of the Ci Family Leader's room."I saw that guard starting to act strangely. He pressed his ear against the wall when no one was around. I felt he was eavesdropping on our conversation. Then, I made a plan with my brother. My brother is in charge of informing Young Master Third of the Ci Family about this plan in secret. This is to ensure that Young Master Third conveys to his siblings and the Ci Family Leader that what I said earlier was a lie to deceive the intruders," explained Ampy Ang.The sun was now slanting westward. The bright blue sky suddenly turned orange as the light began to dim. Ampy Ang took a deep breath and exhaled roughly. They had now passed through the Rungkud Forest and set foot on the border of the Sang family's territory."Academy Leader, if you please, wait here!
55. Ampy Ang Plan
"They who healed me?" Kurca Ci repeated his question. He couldn't believe that those two children could heal him.His four children nodded to reassure him.**Bang!**Suddenly, someone forcefully kicked the door open. A man stood in the doorway, wearing gray-white clothing, showing a worried face."Brother! I heard a rumor that you have contracted an incurable disease. Is it true?" Kwe Ci asked Kurca Ci.Then, the man turned and found two siblings standing not far from him."You?! How could you be here?" Kwe Ci exclaimed to Renggin Ang and Ampy Ang."Do you know them?" Kurca Ci asked Kwe Ci."They are my friend’s disciples.""Your friend, Elder Mo?""Yes.""Tsk tsk. I thought that person wouldn't take on any disciples.""So, what brings you both to this Ci Residence?" Kwe Ci asked Renggin Ang and Ampy Ang again."Shh... Brother. There’s someone secretly eavesdropping on our conversation," whispered Ampy Ang, leaning towards Renggin Ang's ear."Where?""Right behind this wall," pointed
54. Kurca Ci
Everyone in the room fell silent at Ampy Ang's shout. Kelin Ci and Kun Ci exchanged glances. Then Kun Ci spoke."Do you really know what is happening to our father?""Good! Continue your act, Boy," praised the ancestor. "Tell them that inside Mr. Ci's body, there are red parasitic worms. They are small spiritual creatures but very deadly. These parasitic worms suck the life force and spiritual energy of their host, making the host look weak and unable to use their spiritual energy. The more the parasitic worms are pressed with spiritual energy, the more they will multiply. This spiritual energy is a very nutritious food for them."Ampy Ang answered Kun Ci's question. "Of course I know." She then informed them exactly what the ancestor had told her.They were dumbfounded by Ampy Ang's explanation."My goodness, what have we done? No wonder Father's condition is getting worse," Kelin Ci admitted his fault."I truly had no idea about this. Forgive us, Father." Kun Ci knelt beside the bed
53. Something That Wriggles
"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
