2024-02-05 15:18:05Three days had passed. All the time, Yuan Fen was diligently practicing to maintain the tool stone that was the object of training. The goal was to keep the stone in the air for at least 10 minutes.
With his determination and effort, the results Yuan Fen achieved were satisfactory. Finally, he could leisurely control the stone to stay in the air for 25 minutes, with the distance increasing to 25 meters.
This achievement made Yuan Fen's heart full of joy. Impatiently, he waited for Yi Zan's arrival so that he could boast of his new skill.
When the sun was at its peak, Yi Zan signaled his presence at Yuan Fen's hut. Her signature hum accompanied her arrival, singing loudly.
"Hmm! Has big brother progressed in his Spiritual Energy training according to my teachings?" The nine-year-old girl's voice sounded rather dry and shrill, befitting her young age. However, despite this, her voice still had a cheerful tone.
"Let's see your progress." Yuan Fen immediately demonstrated her new skills. Quickly, he demonstrated his Spiritual Energy training ability. The stone floated 25 meters away and was able to stay in the air for 25 minutes.
Although Yi Zan did not show a surprised expression, Yuan Fen's success was still encouraging.
"Alright, let's move on to the next step of becoming a Symbol Master. Are you ready, big brother?" Yi Zan said excitedly, his hand quickly took out a piece of talisman paper, a talisman brush, and a brush for writing talismans.
"This level 1 talisman serves to create a thick fog effect. Pay attention to the formula and form of writing this talisman. Do not forget to brush the talisman paper with the talisman brush and include any Spiritual Energy you have," Yi Zan instructed.
The process of creating the talisman proved to be bittersweet, where reality showed that creating such a talisman was not easy.
All the writing had to use Spiritual Energy, and the way of brushing and applying the writing with the brush also required Spiritual Energy.
Yi Zan, not wanting to disturb Yuan Fen's concentration, gave the condition that he would return tomorrow. Yuan Fen just nodded, completely focused on making his first talisman. 6 hours later, this exercise was completed

Tomorrow is the day.
Yuan Fen rushed to the sect library for the task of cleaning the courtyard.
"You're late today, Fen Er," greeted the man on the first floor of the library, Bao An. This middle-aged man treated Yuan Fen like family, which was why he called him Fen Er.
"Sorry, Elder Bao An. I woke up late today because I was trying to practice Cultivation," Yuan Fen explained while bowing his head. He really appreciated this man, who was not only a library guard but also an elder with Spirit Condensation Realm Cultivation level 8.
Elder Bao An said. "Fen er, I hope you will participate in the recruitment of Cloud Sword Sect disciples in the coming month. I see that you've left your ordinary life and become a Mortal Realm rank cultivator. Regardless of the Mortal rank, I hope you'll be diligent in your cultivation so as to be worthy of participating in the recruitment," Bao An said.
"Here's a gift for you," Bao An continued as he held out something, a beautiful yellowish-colored dried grass.
"This is Yellow Phylanthus grass. Although it looks simple, don't underestimate it. Its market value is as high as 10 energy stones. If you can get Imperata Grass and Light Cyperus Grass as well, these three after being brewed overnight will become a very beneficial liquid medicine to boost your cultivation," Bao An explained.
It should be noted here that a common means of payment among cultivators is energy stones. Using energy stones makes someone who is not a cultivator look great and rich. The use of gold and silver coins is not highly regarded. Energy stones were more valued in the world of cultivators.
Yuan Fen saluted and politely accepted the gift from Elder Bao An. The polite attitude and respect for others made Bao An sympathetic to Yuan Fen. The courage and willingness to lend a helping hand are also considerations for Bao An.
In the past, when senior worker disciples tried to bully Yuan Fen, Bao An always intervened to protect the boy. This caused jealousy among other workers' disciples because Yuan Fen had an unofficial patron in Bao An.
Carefully, Yuan Fen kept the Yellow Phylanthus grass in his bag hidden under his uniform. He secretly planned to look for the other two grasses, Imperata Grass and Light Cyperus Grass, to improve his cultivation level in the next month.
After finishing the work and tidying up the library area, Yuan Fen bid farewell to Bao An.
"Congratulations on practicing cultivation diligently, Fen Er. I hope you pass the recruitment process. At that time, I will teach you a Mortal-level Sword Technique, which is the best in this library and certainly according to your cultivation journey," Bao An said to Yuan Fen.

Happily, Yuan Fen ran towards his hut in the working disciple settlement. However, before he opened the door of the hut, Yi Zan suddenly appeared beside him.
"I've been waiting for you for an hour, brother worker. Why did it take you so long to come back from the library today?" Yi Zan complained spontaneously.
"Ah... you always appear suddenly, surprising me every time," Yuan Fen grumbled.
Yi Zan laughed happily at Yuan Fen's grumble. He was happy to see the working brother frowning.
"Never mind, brother worker, don't frown. How is your work in the tier 1 talisman? Have you finished the low-level talisman? Huff, it's just a low-level talisman, but it took more than a day to complete," Yi Zan mocked.
"It will take a while to complete this talisman," Yuan Fen replied as he thrust out the rank 1 smog talisman.
Yi Zan was speechless as he looked at the talisman handed over by Yuan Fen. It was a Quasi Perfect class talisman. Although Yi Zan himself had learned to make talismans according to the direction of his grandfather, Master Yi Zhunting, who was the master of the Symbol sect, he was only able to make middle-rank Venti talismans.
Yi Zan tried to remain calm and pretended as if the talisman was an ordinary rank. Then, he said, "Very good, brother worker. You managed to make the talisman very well. These are five talisman recipes, each for healing, 50-meter teleportation, Thunder, nightmare, and 15% battle buff. I believe you can solve everything."
"These functions must be useful. On weekends, we can go to the city of Morning Star City and sell these talismans in the Treasure House. I'm curious to see what price they will offer for the Class 2 talisman we made," Yi Zan said with a mischievous smile.
The Cloud Sword Sect provides vacation leave every two weeks to all students and parents. They could visit Morning Star City to rest or shop, as the town was only 100 km away from Cloud Sword Sect.
"Now, let me teach you the Illusion Technique," Yi Zan said to Yuan Fen who looked surprised by the name of this technique, the Illusion Technique. In his heart he wondered. What does the Illusion Technique look like? Is it useful in combat? Yan Fen was puzzled, he preferred martial arts. But he couldn't help but follow the little girl's wishes. Will this illusion technique help him in the future?

Cultivating in the Dao of mental energy to form illusions is the same as cultivating battle Qi Energy. Our mental energy must be strong and we must always practice to become stronger, even to create illusions and other actions. There are several ranks in mental energy called master symbols, namely:Seal Master , The Earth Master Symbol, The Master Symbol of Heaven consists of Heaven, The Master Symbol of Immortality, The Divine Master Symbol,"Yi Zan explained, "Just by achieving Seal 1 Symbol Master, one has been able to cultivate illusions and manipulate circumstances, so that in dangerous situations, one can evade as long as the enemy one is facing does not have a higher cultivation level.""That's why a symbol master is so respected," Yi Zan added."You still remember what I said, that only 1 in 100,000 people have the ability to cultivate mental energy. Even if one has mental energy, without the guidance of a master as a teacher, that ability is useless. Even if the person insist

The beautiful view from the air while riding the winged horse made Yuan Fen feel very excited. This new experience became precious to this simple and orphaned young man. If not for the meeting with Manager Xu Bao, who managed and organised all the worker disciples in the Cloud Sword Sect, perhaps now he would have been reduced to begging.Morning Star City was truly beautiful.++++Yi Zan ran around happily in the market area of Morning Star City. She stopped at stalls selling snacks and confectionery, then pulled Yuan Fen's hand to enter a women's clothing store.Unfortunately, as a Cloud Sword Sect disciple, Yuan Fen had to wear the uniform of the sect's robes, and could not adorn herself with any other clothing or accessories. Even so, Yi Zan still couldn't resist buying some female accessories, such as earrings, hair clips, rouge, lipstick, and powder.Yuan Fen was astonished at Yi Zan's enthusiasm for various accessories and makeup tools.

Sent the exploding charm exactly like that.""It is not flawed in any way. The same thing would be done if it were me."The second level of Noble Dish Restaurant, which is crowded with followers of many sects, was filled with a low cacophony of whispering voices."Please stop!" Interrupting, Ruan Ceng leaped like a bird to * his bouncer. Following that, he moved slightly backward to avoid getting too close to Yi Zan and Yuan Fen. Presumably from being shocked by an earlier explosion that resulted in his injuries, the guard appeared nearly asleep. But the majority of people in the room believed he would pass out from humiliation."

Admiration engulfed the two as soon as they entered the Hall of Treasures. Many medical elements draw interest, including plants, roots, medicines, talismans, and more. For the purpose of fighting and improving cultivation, these objects were vital to growers. In addition, there are numerous other medicinal plants and tablets. There were a lot of excited people in the Treasure Hall's ground level exhibition hall.Abruptly, a voice welcomed them from a 20-year-old girl with a charming face and rather formfitting attire.Dear ladies and gentlemen, what herbs or mustika are you in need of? "Ayin is here to assist," the girl remarked as she walked over to Yi Zan and Yuan Fen.Yi Zan muttered to Yuan Fen, "Hmm, this guardian girl's cultivation has even reached Mortal Realm 5."It's incredible, Morning Star City's Treasure Hall. Yi Zan said once more, "The latent strength behind the trading hall like this should not be treated lightly."I only glanced at it. Something still piques my attent
Swordbound Chronicles The Auction Begins.
On the 2nd floor, a 40-year-old man appeared wearing fancy clothes. He was Manager Luo of the Hall of Treasures. He arrived with an elder - Master Ye, the Symbol Master of the Hall of Treasures. Master Ye's job was to appraise amulets, inscriptions, or spirit objects that used symbols. Master Ye's presence will verify all objects related to the Symbol Master.Yuan Fen and Yi Zan greeted Manager Luo and Master Ye while Ayin introduced the two children to them."May I see what items you will sell, young man?" Manager Luo said to Yuan Fen and Yi Zan.Without hesitation, Yuan Fen showed the three types of talismans he had made, all according to the Techniques taught by Yi Zan. Of the three talismans, there was a healing talisman, a teleportation talisman, and a 50-meter teleportation talisman.Manager Luo frowned as he saw it was a 2nd-grade talisman made by a 2nd-grade Symbol Master of a Seal Master. However, there was a very strong mental power coming from the three talismans. He carefu
Swordbound Chronicles Grass Herbs at Auction.
"We are opening this Light Cyperus Grass Herb for only 50 Demi grade Energy Stones. Each bid is a multiple of 10 energy stones," Ruan Ceng concluded for the herbal grass auction price.Restlessly, Yuan Fen complained softly and resignedly, thus attracting Yi Zan's attention."Big brother worker, do you need this grass? I saw you become agitated when the herbs started to be auctioned off," Yi Zan whispered to Yuan Fen.Meanwhile, bids began to be heard from the bidders in the room."60 energy stones!""Give it to me! 70 energy stones." It was time for the high-priced bargaining to begin in the room.Yuan Fen replied limply, "Actually, this Light Cyperus Grass is one of the ingredients for a potion that will help me break through the Mortal Realm 5 realm in no time. I already have the Yellow Phylanthus. And it still requires 2 more ingredients, where one of those auctioned herbs is the missing ingredient for my later potion," Yuan Fen said to Yi Zan."In that case, let me bid on that he

After the auction, the two children headed to the lobby on the 2nd floor to complete the administration of buying and selling auction items.At that moment, Manager Luo was seen serving customers. Yuan Fen and Yi Zan patiently waited for their turn to be served.Suddenly, "Miss Zuo and Brother Wang, we meet here again," Ruan Ceng said in greeting.The two children turned and looked at the young master. "I heard that the three types of talismans auctioned off earlier belonged to you. Perfect quality items," Ruan Ceng added with praise."Thank you for helping us, Bro Ruan Ceng. We're delighted with the price we got," Yuan Fen said with a smile.Ruan Ceng offered a favour, "Actually, what are your plans next? If you want to take a tour of our Treasure Hall, I'd be happy to help,"Excited!"I want to buy a sword to practice with. But the prices of items in this place are quite high. So, I must choose one that suits my financial capabilities," Yuan Fen said.He pondered for a while, then s

Outside Morning Star City, as the sky emitted an orange color as evening approached, two teenage boys, Yuan Fen and Yi Zan, stood waiting for the arrival of the Winged Horse.Meanwhile, all the Cloud Sword Sect students had left the Magical Beast transport area, and the surroundings had become extremely quiet. The Beast Tamers had also left the place and returned to Morning Star City.Not caring about the time showing that it was approaching evening, the two children were chatting annoyingly with each other. Yuan Fen blushed when Yi Zan teased her with all the combat items she had just bought at the Treasure Hall."Worker brother... I'm afraid that when you become a symbol master, your daily life will be filled with hard work to make talismans and then sell them to buy items that enhance your appearance. Truly, you are a super teenager," Yi Zan teased."Hahaha... let me be a dandy; the most important thing is that I can be strong," Yuan Fen retorted.The two laughed at each other's jo

According to his mentor, the gray-robed refiner, the Sword Curse Talisman he was about to create had such a powerful and deadly effect that even a martial arts expert at the Atmosphere Rank would be helpless when attacked with it.The sun began to shine when Guo Jiang finally finished the last talisman. He was completely exhausted; all his energy had been drained by the 20 Death Talismans, but he was extremely satisfied to see that deadly creation.Guo Jiang fell asleep as he tried to meditate to restore all his strength.The first bugle had just been sounded by the night watchman when Guo Jiang finally woke up.'My body feels refreshed; all the magic energy is now restored as before. It's time to take a walk in the capital to find food,' Guo Jiang thought.The King's City of the Golden Pegasus looks beautiful at night, with the lights shining, making the city even more stunning under the night moon.Guo Jiang decided to enjoy the culinary specialties of the Land of the Golden Pegasus

"I value your talisman at 100 medium-rank Blue Manna Crystals," the alchemist concluded.Guo Jiang frowned briefly. The main ingredient for making this tracking Butterfly Talisman required the wings of a Golden Butterfly, a rare breed of animal that resided in the Northwestern Spruce Forest.According to his mentor, the gray-robed refiner, these golden butterflies were extremely rare. To lure a butterfly out of its nest required at least a Master of Spirit expert whose cultivation level was at the Spirit of Sky realm.Guo Jiang was very lucky back then. The Refiner used the remnants of his magic power so that he was able to lure out tons of golden butterflies from their nests in the Fir Forest.Guo Jiang harvested a large number of the rare butterfly's wings, which he then used to make a tracking Butterfly Talisman.Now, when the Noble Guild Institute intended to buy talismans at a low price, Guo Jiang laughed and then looked deeply at the Alchemist."Aren't you bidding too low for th

Guo Jiang now stood facing Alchemist Ye Xiu.After standing a short distance of about a spear away from the alchemist, Guo Jiang took a good look. Although Alchemist Ye Xiu had the white hair of an old man, his face appeared smooth with supple skin, resembling that of a man in his early thirties.'All of this must be due to the influence of drugs and miraculous ingredients that he processes into some sort of youth pills. I have to admit that with such a technique for maintaining youth, this Alchemist Ye Xiu must be very in demand if he sells his processed pills and potions to women,' Guo Jiang thought.Alchemist Ye Xiu is renowned as an expert in skin preservation techniques, and his products are sought after by women in the City of the Golden Pegasus King.He was always in demand by women from the nobility and even from the imperial side, where all his processed products were sold at very high prices by the Noble Guild Trade Institute. So, regarding financial matters, it was never an

After a brief moment, Guo Jiang chased after the butterfly talisman, which now stopped at a large building outside the city that looked like a temple of a certain religious cult shrine.As the talisman swirled around in the front yard of the shrine, it seemed to be blocked by some kind of array or formation that was also made with magic.Guo Jiang carefully read the signboard written on the gate of the temple: White Lotus Worship Temple. That's the name of the temple that laid down arrays and magic formations, now blocking the butterfly talisman from breaking through."Pakktulo!"Hissing, Guo Jiang began to cast spells in an ancient language. He countered using magic power with words, forcing the butterfly talisman to break through the array.Wush!A sound similar to dry leaves burning was instantly heard as the butterfly talisman forced its way through the array. Guo Jiang stared silently as the butterfly talisman burned to dust.'This is a complicated array, custom-made by a Master
Flower-Picking Villains – Part II.
That night, the sky was clear. There were no clouds, only starlight and moonlight shining down on the golden city of King Pegasus, accompanied by a gentle breeze.Night officers were seen walking around, ringing bells while shouting words..."Now is Hay-Sie's time. Be careful with the fire because it's summer. Check the fire in your kitchen to make sure it's out. Check all the doors of the house; make sure they are locked. Avoid people with bad intentions at night; the Flower-Picking Villain is on the loose, kidnapping girls!"Knock-knock!And so on, repeatedly, every time the itinerant officer knocked on the wooden bag in his hand, giving a warning to the citizens of Capital Golden Pegasus.(Hay Sie is the time between 9:00 PM and 1:00 AM, while Jai - Hua - Chat means flower-picking criminal; it is a male criminal who likes to seduce and defile girls or other women).The itinerant officer, the nightly bugler, walked to the end of the city in a densely populated section of the middle

"Who are you?" asked Wei Yaozu haughtily. He frowned, trying to guess who this brave girl was.His face was flushed, looking unsightly, as this was the first time someone had dared to defy him. Only a handful of people in the Golden Pegasus Empire dared to act rashly in his presence.'Is this girl among the few who dare to act rashly in front of me?' Wei Yaozu thought to himself.Meanwhile, the girl who had interrupted Wei Yaozu's arrogant behavior now stepped forward, seemingly unafraid of the young man's intimidation.The girl had her hand ready, holding tightly to the sword that was still in its sheath. She was prepared to draw the sword at the first opportunity if Wei Yaozu made a move."What a brave girl...""Who is that girl?""Doesn't she know that this Wei Yaozu is the esteemed young master of the Lin family and the favorite disciple of Master Kachi of the 5 Poisons Sect?""Shut up. That brave girl is an inner court disciple of the Shadow Sword Sect. Her name is Duan Meirong,

It's not that the empire hasn't taken steps to investigate the culprit behind the furor, but all of the empire's renowned martial arts experts and detectives have been dispatched to solve the problem. However, they have yet to produce any results.Even Mr. Zhao Long, the Chief of the Golden Nectarine Empire's Legal Bureau, had directly intervened to deal with the matter. It was heard that Mr. Zhao Long had exchanged blows with the girl's kidnapper on a night when it was raining heavily.But in the end, Mr. Zhao Long lost the battle that night because it was said that the kidnapper had a very high skill, almost approaching the skill of the three ruling grandfathers in the Golden Pegasus Empire..."That's the story," concluded the waiter, who quickly snatched the silver coins from the table."In that case, who are you calling the Three Ruling Grandfathers in this Golden Pegasus Empire?" asked Guo Jiang.Now the waiter’s attitude became more cautious; he aligned his body with Guo Jiang's
Young Master Wei – Part I.
'After all, there's nothing to lose by moving to the second floor,' he thought. Besides, there were fewer visitors, and the atmosphere was less crowded. Even Guo Jiang could see the cityscape of the Golden Nectar from the best angle on the balcony of the Eastern Dawn.As Guo Jiang savored bite after bite of the chef's exquisite meat and vegetables, he vaguely caught the conversation of two people sitting about a table away from where he was eating.The two people looked like cultivators of the Martial Arts World, as their clothes appeared compact, and there were objects protruding from their backs and waists. Guo Jiang guessed that the protruding objects were weapons; if not a machete, then a sword.Both of them wore Hanfu hats with long ribbons, the characteristics of Martial Arts World people who insisted on disguising themselves as literati.They spoke quietly as if they were afraid of their conversation being overheard by others. But Guo Jiang, who had now reached the late-level M
Eastern Dawn Restaurant - Part II.
Guo Jiang, as a simple 15-year-old youngster, didn't mind such little things. Instead, he felt fortunate to be seated among the crowd so that he could hear the conversations and information of the outside world from the discussions of many people.The waiter called him.At first, the restaurant waiter looked reluctant when he was called. He looked down on Guo Jiang a little, thinking that the young man's clothes were not worthy of sitting in an expensive restaurant and also looked simple.'Will this little boy be able to afford the dishes of our Eastern Dawn restaurant?' He glanced at Guo Jiang a little unwillingly and asked lazily what he would like to order."Prepare for me steamed buns stuffed with meat, bear tread soup, butter-coated snails, winter lotus root, goose tongue in oyster sauce, deer soup, and 'Kailan' stir-fried mushrooms. For drinks, just provide the best wine from this restaurant," Guo Jiang replied, now looking indifferent. He didn't see the waiter's face gape.The
