2024-10-29 19:42:56Three 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. He didn't realise that girls liked to dre

"It's so stupid, he paid the price himself.""I would have left this location if it were up to me. How shameful.""It was the guard who struck himself. Give him a taste of what it's like to date someone who isn't susceptible to bullying, like that girl.""That idiot guard humiliated the Morning Star City Treasure House Hall."But that chick is just too mean. 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

"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

He deliberately emphasized "Demon Race Clan" so the ascetic would be scared upon hearing his clan's big name. So far, their Demon Race Clan had dominated the West, so any practitioner in the Western region would think a hundred times before crossing people associated with their clan.However, Mao Ren Hao was surprised that the young ascetic wasn't startled at all; instead, he just smiled blandly. The ascetic, like other wise men, said..."It is not good for a man to kill his baby—his flesh and blood. You must repent because your actions will anger even the demons in hell." His face had the serene look of a saint.Mao Ren Hao was shocked. In his entire life, this was the first time a simple person had given him advice and considered his actions wrong. All this time, everything he did was according to the instructions of his Demon Clan ancestor. No one dared to blame his ancestor—the current Supreme Leader of their Clan.With a face filled with anger, Mao Ren Hao stood up straight. With

Tuiiitt!The sound of a flute rang out, sinking deep into the heart as if breaking the silence.The birds of the forest flew around chaotically, disturbed by the rhythm of the flute, which was becoming increasingly oppressive by the day. The girl's face paled as if the sound of the flute had sucked her blood out. Without hesitation, she immediately handed over her baby to the ascetic man. A sword was drawn, gleaming like silver in the moonlight."The rhythm of death," the girl hissed hoarsely, full of fear.Soon, the flute's sound turned low and became silent. A single figure stood floating halfway up the willow tree, staring coldly at the girl. Its cold aura seemed to pierce through her bones."M-Mao Ren Hao..." the girl's voice stuttered, choked with fear.In front of her, hovering with a cold gaze, was a man wearing an all-black tunic, with hair as black as ink and an ordinary appearance but a powerful aura. He was quite young—around 30 years old—yet so young that he could play the

Suma Fen became highly grateful. Cultivating in this Red Realm, apart from cutting down on time, he felt as if he had been bestowed with the incomparable gift of the Scarlet Rose.The passage of so much time had also changed the young man's appearance. Although his age seemed unchanged—like two months of growth—the growth of his hair, beard, and mustache had visibly adorned his youthful face.As a result, aside from his more mature demeanor, at first glance, one would hardly recognize him as Suma Fen with that mustache and beard. He even looked like a noble—a hermit."Twenty years in this Red Frontier World, my dantian has been in turmoil. Soon, the stronghold of my dantian will be breached; the half-immortal world is in sight," the young man thought.

Unlike Elves, who only need to die and then sail to the afterlife, you need to know that when Elves reach the Enchanted Land, they will not retain the cultivation they had when they died. Everything will start from zero: a new body, a new mind, and a new cultivation..." Suma Fen took careful note of this explanation. Only now did he truly understand what an immortal was and its benefits."That's why I accepted the job as a guard, living in a world where time has come to a standstill," the Guard explained. "Then, the Judges and Angels of Wonderland, who took pity on my condition—not immortal but also nothing—offered me a job as a Guardian in this Border world, guarding the bodies of thousands of practitioners who died when they failed to break through to become Immortal.""Here, my age seems to have come to a standstill due to the miraculous actions of the Angels and Judges of Wonderland.

With a look of disbelief, Suma Fen replied, "I—this... well, it's impossible. You can't be that old, right?" His hand gripped the Black Immortal Sword even tighter.The old man replied flatly, "I am over twenty thousand years old." Although Suma Fen wore a shocked expression, the old man did not care about the change on the young man's face. In reality, the words of being twenty thousand years old hit Suma Fen hard.He continued, "This place is called the 'Border.' I should have killed you when I found you in this forbidden place. But since you are the heir of the two sword kings and considering my friendship with them in the past, I decided not to take your life.""You can live here accompanying me with those thousands of coffins over there," he pointed at the rows of coffins with his eyes."Is there no way out of here?" asked Suma Fen frantically."No!

Following the creaking sound that broke the silence of the red world, a figure stood in front of the door. It was a tall, slender man, perhaps barely over six feet tall. This man was probably seventy years old, but he guessed he was over five hundred.The man's face was pretty ordinary—not handsome, but not ugly, either. His white hair was left down, with a little mustache and white beard adorning his flat face.The clothes he wore were made of expensive satin fabric, which was made of layers of all-white color, almost matching his pale skin and face, which was as pale as the moon. That face looked cold and expressionless.Despite having had countless encounters with various humans and other races over the years, the youngster was taken by surprise by the cold appearance before him. Without realizing it, his legs reflexively moved backward."Who are you? And what brings you to this Rose Castle?" a voice echoed in Suma Fen's mind, but he didn't see the person in front of him open his m

...ARC 8. The struggle for the title of supreme...Suma Fen awoke from his sleep on a dry land filled with rocks and hills. As far as the eye could see, everything looked like a dry, reddish-colored expanse of rocky soil, carrying a terrifying aura. This world was absurd, lonely, and dimly lit, with not a single living thing to be found.The only natural lights in this strange world were the moonlight, which looked full like a full moon, and the twinkling stars in the distance. He looked up and gazed at the clear sky—without moving clouds like in the human world. As for the air? Of course, under such circumstances, everything felt cold there. Perhaps it was due to the influence of the moon's energy.(Later, he would finally discover that in this world—this red world has never experienced daylight.)"Am I dead?" he thought.However, when he checked his entire body condition, he started by trying to flow energy from his dantian and then throughout his meridians, "Everything is fine.

Hair and all floating objects fluttered in the storm."Keep holding on to each other; don't separate!" shouted Suma Fen.He tightened his grip on the Phoenix's neck while Atid tightly held the Elephant's neck, and the Elephant's trunk wrapped securely around the Phoenix's legs."How long will it take us to move through this portal?" shouted Atid."No more than an hour," Suma Fen replied."Perhaps in about a heartbeat, we will land at the opening portal in the western region of the Silver Continent.""Alright!" replied Atid with satisfaction.Meanwhile...While engrossed in their shouting match, none of them realized that a small explosion had occurred at the very front of the time tunnel, creating sparks.The Phoenix was the first creature to notice the sparks.

The jet of water that came out of the snout of Ryu, the water dragon, instantly froze and turned into sharp, long ice crystals like swords.There were more than five thousand menacing flying swords—locked and ready to roast Bai Chan Cheng into frozen meat."Dead! I'm dead!" Bai Chan Cheng resigned himself and closed his eyes.The flute-like voice of the Elf once again sounded melodious, "Enough! Stop it!"Bai Chan Cheng opened his eyes slowly. He saw the thousands of ice swords standing still. Then they melted and fell to the sand in the form of liquid. Bai Chan Cheng broke out in a cold sweat, with grain after grain dripping down his forehead.After a while, everything became quiet. Slowly, Bai Chan Cheng said, "Lord Baron Wei, please tell me your terms. I will inform our emperor."The Elf remained silent with an expressionless face. Then he said, "Tell your Emperor.
