Chapter #102. Dark HistoryA beast descended and landed in the imperial courtyard of Na, a black crow-like beast with twin sword symbols encircling its neck landed right in front of the main palace of the Empire.Five individuals descended from the beast's back, looking confused as they saw soldiers running around."Commander of the guards, come here! What's going on?" Shenlong shouted to a soldier."Welcome, Princess Na Lin, Prince Shen Long, and all the entourage. This...," the commander hesitated."What is it?" Na Lin asked."Forgive me, Your Highness, it's better to ask His Majesty the Emperor. We don't know how to answer. All the soldiers here have been ordered to find healers and diviners. We're instructed to bring them here immediately," said the commander.Not satisfied with the answer, Na Lin and her entourage quickly made their way to the main hall of the imperial palace.Upon arrival, Na Lin saw the Emperor and the Queen sitting on their thrones, both looking very distresse
Chapter #103. Viewing from a Different PerspectiveMaster of the Lu Bu Sect and the others sat together, listening to Emperor Na Jong's story about what happened to his son and heir to the throne. He did not conceal anything; everything was narrated in detail from beginning to end, and everyone listened carefully."Lian, what do you think? Have you ever heard of something like this? Do you have a solution to Na Jong's issue?" Lu Bu asked his alchemy master."I have heard and directly know about this succession issue. Indeed, based on medical and historical records, it is true. Additionally, in the process of conceiving, there is a high chance of pregnancy and an increase in the 'Yang' of a man," replied Lian, the alchemy master."From records of ancient China, I know about this succession process, precisely during the Chou Empire. This is due to the ancient Chinese society's belief in the concept of Yin and Yang, which continues to this day. Many sects adhere to this principle," Lian
Chapter #104. ConsultationTian Fan casually inserted his acupuncture needles into Na Yan's body. What he was doing now was enabling the Crown Prince to move again after being affected by his paralysis pill.In addition, he also applied his ointment to treat Na Yan's long-trapped manhood. After finishing the treatment, Tian Fan then performed the same acupuncture on the Eighth Princess, who had, of course, been dressed by the queen before."Done," Tian Fan said, accompanied by their slight movements as they began to regain control of their limbs.Tian Fan then glanced at Na Yan for a moment, scrutinizing his body."Crown Prince, how long have you been consuming stamina-boosting medications? It seems you've been using such concoctions for a long time. Could you explain it to me in detail?" Tian Fan asked Na Yan.Na Yan, surprised by Tian Fan's sudden question, could only be startled. He lowered his head for a moment, then looked around the room and glanced at the Emperor and the Queen
Chapter #105. Sword's MeaningTian Fan and his entourage returned to the Sun Sect, bearing numerous gifts. Throughout the journey, Tian Fan's face never stopped beaming with a wide smile as he admired the two storage rings given by Emperor Na Jong, even though he had a bump on his head from a blow by his grand elder.Tian Fan was delighted because the two storage rings from the emperor contained fourth-grade herbal plants. Additionally, he also acquired two new furnaces, one of which was specifically for refining fourth-grade pills.Meanwhile, the grand elder remained loyal, occasionally rubbing his now normal groin area while casting sly glances at the happily laughing Tian Fan."Now you have a worthy opponent who matches your mischief," Lu Bu said to Lu Tang, who responded with a sullen smile."Continue defending your golden disciple. It seems my brother enjoys seeing me suffer," complained Lu Tang, greeted with laughter from Lu Bu and Master Lian.Shortly, they arrived at the Sun S
Chapter #106. Next Level Understanding Tian Fan continued his physical training. Although he had already grasped the concept of the body as a sword, Lu Bu insisted that Tian Fan continue his physical training. Without questioning, Tian Fan followed his master's command. Tian Fan knew that when his teacher, Lu Bu, ordered something like that, there must be a strong and valid reason behind it. Questioning too much would be akin to not trusting his teacher. Therefore, Tian Fan proceeded to do what Lu Bu had instructed without hesitation. He resumed his previous training, and this time, Lu Bu added more weight to his hands, doubling the previous load. Not only that, using his aura, Lu Bu applied additional pressure to Tian Fan, making the load three times heavier than before. Tianzhi, Sun Li, Kai Fu, and Guan Long could only sweat nervously, observing the heavy burden Tian Fan bore. However, they were also motivated by Tian Fan, especially considering that he achieved the body as a swo
Chapter #107. Rules and Sword ArtAfter finishing several incense sticks, Tian Fan and the others had recovered from their injuries. Lu Bu called them all together, sitting under a lush tree. Lu Bu began to share his knowledge with Tian Fan and the others."So, what did you all gain from our previous battle?" Lu Bu asked all his disciples."Many things, Master," replied Tianzhi quickly, still holding his injured arm."Clearly, we are still like frogs in a well we don't understand the true art of the sword," added Kai Fu."It's good that you recognize your weaknesses. Although the sword is a tool, it also has its own art and advantages.""I will explain it. By understanding the rules and the art of the sword, it will also help you discover your sword dao.""Training is crucial. If you train very hard, maybe about twenty percent of what you've learned will manifest in a real fight.""You must act based on instinct, without wasting time thinking. Basic techniques will work on their own,
Chapter #108. One-Star AlchemistTian Fan carefully and meticulously read the books in front of him. He began to recall, analyze, and study each book. Not forgetting, he also noted what he considered important.After spending the whole day reading his master's books and notes, Tian Fan also began sorting out the level four herbal plants in his father's gift storage ring.From there, Tian Fan also found several spirit herbs in a special storage box. After finishing, he went to see Master Lian again."Master, I have read all the notes you provided, and I have studied them carefully. I am ready for the next practice," said Tian Fan."Very well, then. Start by practicing heating the three furnaces, as I mentioned before," said Master Lian.Tian Fan immediately began his practice. In the specialized pill refining room, he started using the furnaces given by Emperor Na Jong."Fan'er, on the left furnace, I want you to heat it and maintain it at half of its maximum temperature. The middle fu
Chapter #109. Secret WeaponGaining new knowledge ignited Tian Fan's spirit. His days were spent on various pill refining experiments. Now that he had become a true alchemist, he set a new goal for himself.Tian Fan began perfecting level one to level three pills with heavenly-grade effectiveness, ensuring their effectiveness exceeded 98%.He crafted these pills not only to refine his own methods but also to develop new techniques and abilities. For him, solidifying these skills meant not immediately creating level four pills, but rather advancing the levels and effectiveness of the pills below first.Master Lian was pleased with Tian Fan's patient mindset. What Tian Fan had in mind was indeed unique, and eventually, Master Lian followed suit.They both started refining and purifying pills from the lowest to the highest level three, aiming to create pills with pulses or veins.Master Lian didn't hesitate to use Tian Fan's methods and asked him questions. According to Master Lian, gain
