The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Excitement Hits Lengyang City.
Eadric Rong simply nodded calmly, though in his heart there was a sense of satisfaction that he could not hide.The rays of the morning sun that began to creep up the trees added a warm feeling to his chest, as if even nature was celebrating his achievement. "Then, let's go home, Uncle Yue. I still have many important things to do in the Hall of Fortune Koi."Maybe I'll sell this level four Talisman when we get there," he said in a steady tone, as he stepped onto the train car with many plans in mind.Long story short, Eadric Rong finally arrived at the Koi Hall of Fortune.His quiet steps as he got off the train, sensing a different aura around him.It was as if the wind was carrying the news of his success, and the wise man said that the rumors were very fast circulating—the speed even beating the wind from the North.In no time at all, excitement enveloped Lengyang City.Eadric Rong's name became a byword everywhere, talked about by everyone who passed by the market and even the ve

Duan Jiexin's voice sounded full of menace, his words difficult for ordinary people to understand, but to Eadric Rong, every word carried a deep meaning. Duan Jiexin spoke with an extremely ugly expression, clearly showing how deep his hatred for Eadric Rong ran.Eadric Rong just chuckled, a faint smile forming at the corner of his lips."I don't understand Master Duan's words. Or, do you mean to announce that raising a curious ghost, letting it roam and feast on anything, perhaps even innocent humans, is a noble act?"Eadric Rong then laughed condescendingly, making Duan Jiexin even angrier."Does Master Duan want this secret to be known by everyone in Lengyang City?" he asked in a sharper tone, while his wide sleeves rustled softly as he waved a hand in an indifferent manner.Eadric Rong's words pierced right into Duan Jiexin's heart.Recently, there had been frequent murders with unclear causes in Lengyang City. The city's security forces had been unable to identify who was behind
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Clean Clothes Beggar.
In the room reserved for Talisman Masters, Eadric Rong sat upright on a wooden bench.The room was spacious, the walls adorned with calligraphic poetry and profound Taoist teachings.The dim light of the oil lamps cast soft shadows on the walls. Windows latticed with Xuan paper added to the ancient and mysterious feel. Shadows of patrolling guards could be seen faintly pacing back and forth behind windows and doors.The light of the oil lamp swayed again, creating a play of shadows that added depth to Eadric Rong's face.His sharp eyes flashed as he concentratedly browsed through page after page of an ancient book. He had just bought the book from the Black Market, at a stall owned by Merchant Qiang, who was famous for his collection of rare and valuable items."What a hidden treasure this Lengyang City Black Market is," Eadric Rong whispered, his voice barely audible but full of admiration that welled up from within his heart."No one realizes that this is a copy of a precious spirit

“Then, pack me ten. Make sure they're still hot, just remove them from the cauldron,” she pleaded, hoping the warmth of the onde-onde would warm her cold, disappointed heart a little.While waiting for the onde-onde to be wrapped, Eadric Rong watched the hustle and bustle around him. Lengyang Market, with all its energy, remained an interesting place.Unexpectedly, a man approached Eadric Rong and said politely, "Young master, may I have a packet of sesame onde-onde? In exchange, I will pay with a painting," said the man who suddenly appeared before him.Eadric Rong frowned, his eyes keenly watching the man's figure.The clothes the man wore looked clean, but were full of regular patches, indicating he was a beggar by profession. On his back, four large sacks hung tightly, ranking high in the Beggar's Society.'A beggar with clean clothes, and carrying four sacks? Interesting!' Eadric Rong thought, feeling that this beggar was not simple.A moment later,"What skill would you trade fo
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Summer Full Night - Part II.
The sky had turned dark, shrouded in night shadows that hung heavy over the city.The Temple of the Clouds is a Buddhist shrine, located in the east of Lengyang City.The old building had long been abandoned by the monks. Today, the temple is a resting place for beggars and travelers who don't have enough money to stay at more decent lodgings.The next day, Eadric Rong arrived at the temple with two large wooden bushels full of food that he had bought from the Heavenly Delicacies Restaurant, the most famous restaurant in Lengyang City.The fragrant smell of the food he brought filled the quiet temple air, whetting the appetite of anyone who smelled it.Huang Fu, who had been waiting in front of the temple, stared with a furrowed brow when he saw the amount of food Eadric Rong had brought. "Why so much?" he asked in a reproachful tone.Eadric Rong smiled, he replied with a sincere tone,"This is also for the enjoyment of your traveling companions and friends who live in the Temple of t
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Murder.
Eadric Rong was just about to fall asleep when his ears, trained as a high-level martial artist, caught the faint sound of footsteps on the ridge of the Hall of Fortune Koi.His instincts kicked in immediately, confirming that something unusual was happening around the normally quiet pavilion.“Even though my ability to exert true energy is being shut down, all my senses and instincts as a practitioner at the Golden Lotus level remain sharp and alert,” he thought, feeling his heartbeat steady despite the sudden tension.Carefully, Eadric Rong peeked through the window. He slowly opened it, letting in the cool night breeze and the faint, soothing scent of flowers.Under the dim moonlight, he saw a human figure moving with incredible agility, like a swallow flying across the night sky. The figure leapt from building to building with mesmerizing grace, barely making a sound."A hitman?" Eadric Rong hissed softly, his eyes narrowing as he observed more closely. The figure wore a tight, al
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Death of the Assassin.
"Who are you? Aren't you dead? How can you be alive again?"The assassin stared with widened eyes, confusion covering his face. He was not a believer in magic or black magic. To him, in this world, true power lay in the ability to master martial arts.There was no room for superstition in his hardened mind, full of combat logic.As the Talisman Master's figure walked slowly toward him, his every step seemed to echo in the silent night.The shadow of his tall body was clearly visible in the pale moonlight, adding to his haunting presence.The assassin quickly took out his dagger. The moonlight reflected off the blade, casting a sharp glow that confirmed his intent to fight."Don't come any closer!" he threatened with an unconcealable tremble in his voice, trying to recover his composure. "I am a fighter of the Golden Peacock Swordsman realm. A single wave of my hand can take your life!"However, although his threat sounded firm, hesitation was evident in his movements. Although he thou
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Death of the Assassin – Part II.
Questions hung in the air: why was such a powerful assassin suddenly screaming in pain? What could cause someone so well-trained and deadly as him to suffer in such a way?The answer was surprisingly simple.Since just then, Eadric Rong, who looked calm in place, had grasped the most powerful illusory energy. An energy that could only be seen by his inner eye, but the impact was very real.As the assassin lunged at him with lightning speed, Eadric Rong calmly cast the illusion straight into his opponent's mind."Create the illusion of incomparable pain, and make it seem as if a long spear has pierced through his back, even through to the front!" he whispered while casting a magic spell.The instructions given by Eadric Rong were spoken with spiritual power.Armed with the knowledge from the Taoist Book on the art of creating dreams, and with his painting skills that make the details so perfect, the illusions he casts really feel real.The ninja, who had been trained for years to withs

Most put down as much as 50 gold tails for Zhou Wen's victory, believing that the young genius was invincible. However, with a faint smile, Eadric Rong put down some money for Bao Xuan's victory.The reproachful stares of bystanders did not shake his confidence. He just shrugged casually and said,"Wouldn't it be too conspicuous if the whole city was betting on Zhou Wen's victory? Why don't we make it a little more balanced?"That answer, in a tone full of common sense, made several people who heard it nod in agreement.Some of those with more money eventually decided to follow Eadric Rong's lead, placing bets on Bao Xuan's victory, although the number in favor of Zhou Wen remained far greater.Finally, the long-awaited day arrived.The morning sun emerged from behind the horizon, its faint rays trying to penetrate the chill of the season, as if to give a little warmth to the sprawling Imperial grounds.The morning air was still lingering with coolness, creating a light mist that shro
The Arena Holds Its Breath.
This thought made his heart beat hard. If true, wouldn't this mean that there were more intruders from the Tian Yu Empire among them, who mingled with the locals undetected?However, although his gaze scanned every corner of the crowd, Ouyang Fai did not find anyone suspicious. The anxiety in his heart slowly turned into deeper worry when his attention returned to the stage.There, a fierce battle was taking place. Bao Xuan faced off against Fang Rui, the number two genius of the Golden Sword Sect.Fang Rui, with his lightning-sharp sword, created a golden-colored energy scroll that spun at the speed of a hurricane.Each of Fang Rui's attacks was a deliberate attempt to penetrate Bao Xuan's defenses, which stood firm as a rock, protected by the Ocean Troubler Fan Style.Meanwhile, Fang Rui's demeanor showed great vigilance. His eyes kept an eye on Bao Xuan's left hand, knowing how deadly the Eight Hand God Style hidden there was.At first, the battle seemed evenly matched, two geniuse
The Secret Behind Bao Xuan.
On the other hand, with his right hand, Bao Xuan spread his fan wide.SWING!The fan spun gracefully, emitting a rumbling sound similar to a raging ocean wave, as if bringing terror from the depths of the sea. The sound made the hairs stand up, and the vibrations were felt all the way to the bone.Suddenly, an invisible wall appeared before Bao Xuan, blocking dozens of Li Yong's sword thrusts that had previously seemed unstoppable.TRANG - TRANG - TRANG!The sound of the sword clashing with the energy wall was loud, deafening. Sparks ignited in the air, filling the atmosphere with a mesmerizing and thrilling sparkle.On the other hand, Li Yong's hands shook violently, almost losing his grip on his sword. Fear began to creep into his heart when he realized, "Bao Xuan's true energy power is far above mine!"Li Yong's face instantly paled, the realization of the opponent's greatness coming too late. However, the opportunity to retreat or defend was already tightly closed.Bao Xuan, calml
Victory’s Edge, Fate’s Turn.
"Long live Li Yong!" "Long live Xue Hua Academy!" "Cultivator Jin Shuang will definitely win!" "Get that intruder!"The thunderous cheers of thousands of spectators electrified the arena, relentlessly encouraging their hero, Li Yong. The voices were like an unstoppable ocean wave, filling the air with an energy that almost seemed to resonate in the chest of anyone who heard it.Amongst the roar, the sect leaders, both from the Four Star Sect to the Five Star Sect, only nodded slowly, as if victory was already entrenched in Li Yong's hands.Their gazes were full of confidence, as if there was no other possibility than the glory of Xue Hua Academy."Xuehua Academy is not a mere empty name! There's no way Li Yong can lose to that young man who's just a street cultivator like Bao Xuan!" Wang Yunzhong, the leader of Xuehua Academy, whispered softly.Although his voice was only a whisper, the true energy he used made his voice clearly audible throughout the main stage. His words cut through
Ten Moves for Glory.
"Isn't it possible that the Zhen Long pill, the grand prize we're after, will be brought in by an expert from the neighboring Empire. That would tarnish the face of all the cultivators of this country!" worried murmurs could be heard from various directions.Meanwhile, on the other side, the Five Star Sect seats that were filled with an aura of majesty seemed to flinch. Even so, dissatisfaction was clearly visible in their eyes. Everyone there was angry, though restrained themselves very well."Should I go forward?" Zhou Wen, the young genius of the Blue Sky Sect, asked quietly to his Sect Leader, Liang Tiancheng. The look in his eyes signaled his readiness to act."No need," Liang Tiancheng replied, his voice firm. "There are still four other Five Star Sects ranked below you. Stay in your seat, show your attitude as a supreme power holder."Zhou Wen nodded, accepting the order with humility. Although his desire to advance was strong, he still respected his leader's decision.With thi
Ten Minutes to Triumph.
"Look, Li Yong from Xuehua Academy. Are you going to face me with the Sacred Heart Sword move?" asked Bao Xuan in a calm tone, yet there was a mocking tone in it.He fanned his sweaty body, his face showing a hint of fatigue from the previous fight.The presence of the two geniuses of the Five Star Sect was indeed quite draining for Bao Xuan, although he still tried to maintain his imperious appearance.Then, Bao Xuan clapped loudly, and suddenly a man emerged from the crowd. The man looked unknown, but he was carrying a bottle of water and a pill. The imperial officials standing around the stage allowed the man to approach Bao Xuan without hindrance.With a sly smile that expressed satisfaction, Bao Xuan accepted the drink and pills. After taking a sip, he calmly said to Li Yong,"Is Young Swordsman Li Yong willing to give me ten minutes to recover energy? Isn't it tantamount to cheating if you win a fight without giving your opponent a chance to recover after fighting twice in a row
Fan and Shadow Clash.
All eyes were fixed on the stage as the excitement grew.The screeching sound of the demon skull's claws caused a strong wind to whip up, adding to the tension in the air.White smoke billowed out with a choking tension, covering the battle area like an icy fog covering a frozen landscape.Amidst the mist, there was no sound of Bao Xuan howling in pain, as if he was untouched by Wei Qiang's attack.The silence added to the anxiety in the hearts of the audience, making them wonder:"Is Bao Xuan really that tough? Even Wei Qiang of the Black Shadow Sect couldn't defeat him in ten moves?""Let's hope that at the end of this attack, Wei Qiang will come out victorious!"The audience prayed silently, full of worry.Bao Xuan's extremely confident actions earlier had planted a seed of doubt in their minds. The roar of the crowd filled the air, adding to the tension and anticipation of the outcome of this fight.Just then, the cold winter wind blew, the white smoke from Wei Qiang's attack bega
Bao Xuan Sang Roque Cultivator.
The contest rules prohibiting a fight to the death no longer mattered to him. His resolve was made—if necessary, he would drag Bao Xuan into the abyss of death together."In that case, prepare to die!" shouted Jiang Hui, his voice echoing, shaking the arena filled with spectators. His sword flashed, slashing through the air with unimaginable speed, as if about to split the sky.In an instant, a sword beam emitting silver light spread across the entire stage, forming a powerful vortex of energy. Snow flakes flew out, blown by the sharp gusts of wind caused by his sword movements, creating the illusion of a blizzard enveloping the entire arena.However, as the sword light and snow flakes faded, and the rumbling sound that resembled crashing waves subsided, Bao Xuan was still standing tall in the center of the stage.His body did not flinch in the slightest. His face remained calm, even looking a little bored. His handsome face exuded a haughty air, while the faint smile that graced his
The Meeting of Dragons Begins – Part II.
If only there wasn't a rule prohibiting the Five Star Sect from competing with the Four Star Sect, the geniuses of the Five Star Sect might have already stepped onto the stage to humiliate Jiang Hui who was now standing arrogantly before everyone.When everyone was almost certain that Jiang Hui would win the Dragon Meeting for geniuses of the Four Star Sect, suddenly a shadowy figure flashed at an incredible speed, difficult for ordinary eyes to follow.In an instant, a young man was standing on the stage, stealing the show with his striking appearance.The young man looked like a descendant of nobility, no more than twenty years old. He wore a soft blue tunic with intricate patterns, showing his status and wealth. The long jacket that covered his heels was made of selected silk, flowing gracefully in the cold winter wind, adding a sense of elegance to his figure.His face was handsome, but a sardonic smile was clearly etched on his lips. He wore the typical skullcap of an imperial of
