A month later, the Inn of Homecoming on South Street in Hampshire County.At noon, the air was somewhat sultry. The lobby of the inn was evidently very busy, with an occupancy rate of over 70%. The innkeeper had a smile on his face as he greeted customers incessantly. The waiters were rushing around the lobby, sweating profusely.The lobby was bustling with noise as people were eating, drinking and chatting enthusiastically. There was a steady stream of people coming and going from the inn's lobby.At this moment, a slender figure strode into the lobby. Judging from his build, he was a young man. He wore a gray robe and held a pitch-black long knife in his right hand. Although it was broad daylight, he wore a conical rain hat on his head. The black gauze on the edge of the rain hat hung down to his jaw, and his head was slightly lowered so his full appearance could not be seen clearly.The innkeeper had sharp eyes and hurriedly came forward with a smile, saying, "Sir, are you staying
The slender man's palm struck Ethan's chest, but Ethan's fierce attack towards the slender man's throat was dodged at the last moment with a tilt of the head. "Hmph!" The slender man only felt a chill on his scalp, and a few strands of hair on the side of his head were cut off. Ethan's avatar was hit in the chest by a palm, and retreated seven or eight feet in a row. His figure began to
At dawn three days later.Ethan hurried to the Inn of No Worries as the tavern opened early as always.Compared to three days ago, the atmosphere in Hampshire County seemed strangely tense. Occasionally on the main street, Ethan saw garrison troops marching by, and even saw many young men wielding large sabers or green blades wandering the streets with cold and severe expressions, glancing around from time to time, as if looking for something.Ethan casually threw the Daniel Martin's head wrapped in white cloth. The one-armed man in blue silently accepted it and threw Ethan a bag containing the Spiritual Stone in exchange, without any communication. In fact, for more than two months, Ethan did not even know the name of this one-armed man in blue."Strange." Ethan was slightly startled when he suddenly found that the young waiter behind the one-armed man kept peering at him with a peculiar expression. "Accept the task." Ethan said to the one-armed man in blue who had taken the he
With a swoosh, Ethan plunged into the river and swam at lightning speed to the opposite bank. Ethan had learned how to swim at the age of eight and was extremely adept in water. Now that he had entered the Meridian Training Realm, the difference between land and water was negligible to him. With a single breath, Ethan swam hundreds of feet and dove to the opposite bank of the river. Just as Ethan surfaced and was about to climb ashore to escape, Suddenly, The undercurrents churned, as if the water temperature had risen sharply in an instant. As far as Ethan could see, fish after fish started belly up, struggling and thrashing their tails.Countless fish, big and small, and even some mudfish and arm-thick water snakes, were all in commotion, seeming wanting to flee yet struggling reluctantly.“Madness!” With one glance, Ethan was scared out of his wits. That lunatic Maxwell had actually thrown the Fountain of Time into the river! Was he unaware of the might of the Fountain of Tim
The foliage lining the walls instantly surrounded Ethan, his doppelgangers, and their original form. In that moment, the countless withered leaves became as sharp as daggers, and Ethan felt an icy blade aura engulfing him. The dense leaves were impossible to dodge. Clang, clang, clang. Leaf after leaf was swatted aside by the Moon-Slashing Saber, numbing Ethan’s hands. The endless leaves seemed infinite and inexhaustible, pouring endlessly. Even in his ash-colored robes and soft under-armor, the Original Form was shaken by the surging blood and unable to get close to the man in blue.“The Bone Sacrifice Realm is that powerful?” Ethan’s heart shook. The man in blue before him had only just entered the Bone Sacrifice Realm, yet even so, with a casual wave of his hand, Ethan could not approach him. It is known that the Bone Sacrifice Realm can be regarded as the most important of the four stages of cultivation: Strong Blood, Meridian Training, Bone Sacrifice, and Ascending to the Pea
"Hmm?" Ethan gazed at the ring with an ardent look in his eyes. "Cough!" Ethan spat out a mouthful of congealed blood and promptly took a Ginseng Pill. He then crawled slowly towards the ring.After a while, Ethan held the youth’s ring in his palm, stroking it. He then bit his finger, and a drop of blood fell onto the ring. Buzz! Ethan immediately calmed his mind and infused force into the ring to probe everything inside it. Instantly, Ethan widened his eyes with an expression of extreme joy on his face."I'm rich, I'm rich!" Ethan grinned from ear to ear, completely disregarding the blood still oozing from the corner of his mouth.Inside the youth’s interspatial ring were over a thousand inferior spiritual stones and more than fifty middling spiritual stones. Apart from these, there was also a human-skin mask and a black book titled Pharmacopoeia of the Primordial Era. Disregarding the black book, just the thousand inferior spiritual stones and fifty-odd middling spirit
Strictly speaking, only when the Ren and Du meridians are unblocked can one be considered a true cultivator. When the two vessels are connected, the inner force becomes vigorous and powerful. Plucking flowers and flying leaves, killing from a hundred paces away, this is what the azure-robed assassin was capable of, as was Seventeen. Of course, that azure-robed assassin had only just entered the Bone Sacrifice Realm, without even sacrificing a complete bone - otherwise he wouldn't have been killed so easily by Ethan.Beyond the Bone Sacrifice Realm, the difference in the Ascending to the Peak Realm is even greater. Usually even an early stage Ascending to the Peak expert can crush a horde of Bone Sacrifice masters. Why?Because the Ascending to the Peak warriors have ignited their Mind Lamps, which are their core. As long as the Mind Lamp is not extinguished, they cannot die. Just imagine, a late stage Bone Sacrifice cultivator versus an early stage Ascending to the Peak cultivator in
She wore a sky blue pleated skirt, with long hair cascading to her waist. Her slender waist could be grasped with one hand and her retreating figure was graceful.Clearly, this was an extremely beautiful woman. Passersby around her stopped and stared, with high head-turning rates. One young man had already walked past but kept turning his head back three times. Distracted, his head hit the wall with a thud. He yelped in pain, clutching his head, drawing laughter from onlookers. Ethan watched silently without a word.Though the streets of Hampshire County were not too crowded in the early morning, traffic was now blocked. Pedestrians stopped to gawk, with the men's eyes dazed, oblivious even as drool dripped down their chins. The women pouted resentfully or bowed their heads low, avoiding the beauty's gaze as they hurried by, self-abased by the comparison.The morning rays shone on the locks tumbling to the beauty's waist, shimmering with a hazy golden glow that dazzled the eye.Sudde
