Eadric Rong then bowed deeply in homage.

Seeing this, Du Fu hurried to stop him, then the two engaged in an increasingly intimate conversation.

That night, Eadric Rong taught Du Fu the technique of cultivating - gathering energy - as well as an empty palm art, the Whirlwind Palm. As a mortal who greatly admires cultivators, Du Fu was naturally overjoyed, and grateful.

In this land of Jin Shuang, being a cultivator is highly respected.

That was why there was a special city with various martial arts schools and renowned academies. That city was Lengyang City, the destination of the horse-drawn carriage from the Cold Moon Pavilion that would carry Eadric Rong.

What is the rest of the story? Will Eadric Rong find a healer or alchemist who can heal him?

Before long, after working for no more than two weeks at the Cold Moon Pavilion, Eadric Rong was summoned by Wang Wei, the head of the restaurant. The pavilion was quiet, with a warm atmosphere and the faint scent of sandalwood incense waft

    "I sincerely and consciously wish to follow the carriage to Lengyang City," Eadric Rong replied affirmatively, his voice steady despite the turmoil in his heart."Good!" replied Manager Wang, now looking relieved. A faint smile was painted on his previously tense face."Prepare your gear, tonight you will leave for Lengyang City!" said Wang Wei in a stern tone of command.Eadric Rong nodded, feeling slightly relieved although there was still a bit of anxiety in his heart.He knows that this journey is very dangerous for his current physical condition.

    "You'd better stay put, and don't come out if you're not told to!" the Akai Fighter replied in a stern voice to Eadric Rong. He had already drawn his short sword and was ready to face the danger.WUSSHIn the blink of an eye, the two fighters disappeared from inside the train car. It was as if they were gliding through the night wind with incredible speed.Eadric Rong did not feel any deep fear, but his mind was spinning fast. "I wonder... can I help them, even though I don't have pure air?"Eadric Rong's vacillation was natural. Currently, he was having difficulty in channeling pure air energy into the meridians, causing a bottleneck in his strength. However, Eadric Rong's sword skills and palm arts are still as sharp as ever, though he is unsure how effective his current abilities are.As the sounds of shouting and the clash of weapons coming into contact with the demonic creatures' hooves sounded faintly from outside, Eadric Rong was plagued with doubts. "Should I participate in th

    Every muscle in the wolf's body was tense, showing the tremendous power that was ready to be unleashed and tear it apart.Every howl and growl of the wolf emitted Crystal Dew-strength pure energy that rolled around intensely, about to rip out Fighter Yun's neck.The air around them seemed to vibrate with the power of the wolves, making the hairs stand on end."You think it's that easy?" shouted Fighter Yun, his voice echoing through the silent forest. His eyes radiated anger, no fear at all.TSING!In one strange stroke, the dagger as thin as a willow leaf twisted in the air. Next thing you know, it was slicing through the demon wolf's neck.Dark blood spurted from the wound, and a stifled howl sounded as Fighter Yun's dagger separated the demon wolf's head from its body.With nimble movements like a dance, he leapt up, ready to stab the next wolf that looked ferocious, his eyes radiating deep hatred."Death to you all, you cursed creatures!" he shouted angrily, his voice echoing thro

    Eadric Rong opened his eyes and heard the calm sound of running water, like a soothing sound therapy for him. The sound of gurgling water filled the air, giving Eadric Rong a feeling of peace in his heart.He opened his eyes and saw vaguely the two fighters—Yun and Akai—as well as Old Coachman Yan surrounding him. "I... where am I?" his voice sounded weak and confused.Hearing Eadric Rong's voice, everyone's faces, which had been extremely worried, now looked relieved."Little Brother Guo, thank goodness you've come to your senses!" Fighter Yun's voice rang clearly in the ears, making Eadric Rong fully aware of last night's events.Eadric Rong's face grimaced with pain, but instead of complaining, he asked something else."How did those eight demon wolves fare? It looks like I managed to kill them. But... were there any casualties on our side?" he asked in a still weak voice, an anxious expression unable to be hidden from his face.He immediately sat down, looking at the people in fro

    The sound of the train's wheels turning on the cobblestone road produces a vibrating sound that fills the void of the night.Fighter Yun's voice rang out breaking the silence."Around midnight tonight we will enter Tanxiang Forest. After that, Leng Yang City is in sight."Hearing Fighter Yun's words, Eadric Rong immediately opened his eyes. "Does this mean we'll be in Leng Yang City by noon tomorrow?" he asked, his tone indicating deep curiosity."True, but there is something important that brother Guo needs to know," Yun replied. His face was solemn in the dim light of the train car."Just tell me what it is," urged Eadric Rong, who was now sitting up straighter."In Tanxiang Forest, we'll be dealing with a bunch of annoying creatures again!" Yun said in a warning tone.Almost laughed... Eadric Rong said quickly."Oh, I see. Does that mean we have to fight the demon star again?" Eadric Rong tried to joke, though his voice still sounded weak."By the way, even though I'm still weak, I

    However, somehow this time the supply of talismans and charms was not much. The momentary silence in the carriage was broken by Fighter Yun's heavy and stern voice, explaining the alarming situation."There is a crisis for talismans in the alchemy shops and pharmacies in Hanjiang City and Lengyang!" replied Fighter Yun when Eadric Rong explained that they needed talismans if they were to win the battle against the ghosts."Why? How did there come to be a talisman crisis in those two cities?" asked Eadric Rong curiously, his eyes narrowed, staring intently at Yun."The ability to write talismans and charms is not shared by all alchemists. Only those with the basics of talismans and symbols can write quality talismans of great benefit!" Even if there is one, it's in Baiyung Chen City. We haven't had the chance to visit there yet!"Eadric Rong nodded his head in understanding. However, in their panic, Yun's fighters kept complaining about their talisman-poor condition, yet they were forc

    Tanxiang Forest, early morning. The air in Tanxiang Forest was chilly, covered in thick morning dew.The sound of clashing swords and the cries and shouts of the two fighters—Yun and Akai—echoed the quiet night of the Tanxiang Forest.At that moment, sitting in a train car hidden among the trees, Eadric Rong analyzed the situation with great anxiety.He suspects that both fighters, Yun and Akai, are currently on edge."From the way they're shouting and the sound of their swords getting weaker and weaker, it's obvious that they're already starting to run out of steam," he thought.From behind the wall of the train car, the curious gurgles of three hungry ghosts could be heard. The sound was similar to the sighing of the night wind which added to the eerie atmosphere, while the sound of the swords of the fighters had disappeared.That means the two fighters will have to rely on their nimbleness to avoid the attacks of the three ghosts."How is it possible that their level of intelligenc

    "I swear, your death will be more horrible than the three of us! I swear!" The third ghost screamed, his voice disappearing in the roar of the night wind.Eadric Rong only nodded coldly, staring at the points of light that were slowly disappearing.He felt a little exhausted but satisfied, knowing that he had managed to get rid of the threat.Meanwhile, as an expert in cultivating spiritual power, Eadric Rong greedily inhaled the three shattered souls. A stream of energy in the form of a white flash seemed to enter his nose.Eadric Rong closed his eyes, feeling a cold sensation like he was being blown by the wind. He looked like a glowing ibis as he inhaled the spiritual energy.Yun fighters and Akai fighters stared wide-eyed in disbelief at what Eadric Rong had just done.They were speechless other than chanting His name over and over again, their lips trembling and their faces full of fear and confusion.After consuming all the spiritual energy from the souls of the three hungry gho

    "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

    "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

    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

    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

  • The Meeting of Dragons Begins.

    As they spoke, the crowd around them intensified, and the sound of the gong resounding three times signaled that the "Meeting of Dragons" event was about to begin."The Dragon Meeting is about to begin!" whispered Ouyang Fai enthusiastically, his voice almost drowned out by the noise.Amidst the hustle and bustle, the sound of heavy, echoing horse hooves began to sound from the direction of the imperial palace. The sound grew closer, distracting everyone's attention.When the anticipated figure appeared, there was a moment of silence, only to be broken by the crowd's amazement.A war knight clad in silver armor, which shone in the sunlight, appeared gallantly on a pure white horse like snow.The horse's steps were slow but steady, adding an aura of majesty to the scene. The horse, more surprisingly, had wide wings that looked shiny, adding a magical and mysterious feel to the whole appearance."Suiji Ma!" "Sembrani Horse!" shouted several people in the crowd, their voices full of admi

  • Surprise after surprise.

    Eadric Rong watched the man standing in the center of the crowd with a sharp gaze. The man looked majestic and imposing, surrounded by Golden Sword Sect disciples marching in a respectful manner.Amidst the echoing cheers and shouts from the audience, Eadric Rong remained calm, unperturbed by the crowd around him. The sounds of applause and cheers praising the Golden Sword Sect blended together, creating a very festive atmosphere on the field."Is he the so-called Leader Shen Yutian, the leader of the Golden Sword Sect?" asked Eadric Rong inwardly, his sharp eyes scrutinizing every detail of the man's appearance curiously.Shen Yutian stood in an authoritative manner among his disciples, wearing robes that seemed to glow with a golden color under the light of the crescent moon.The robe, though similar in design to the Taoist Priest's clothing, was made of fine silk that drifted gently around his body, adding a sense of luxury.His hair was neatly combed up, forming a bun that was hel

    In the invited guests' quarters of the Jin Shuang Imperial court, the atmosphere was suddenly tense as the Black Shadow Sect Leader, Gong Fang, appeared. The oppressive aura he spread pervaded the air, making everyone present feel a tense pressure.Everyone's gaze was instantly lowered, crushed by his dominant presence.However, the oppressive aura soon faded.Suddenly, a well-dressed man in a dark blue velvet robe appeared with a confident stride."Xue Hua Academy," "Isn't that martial arts academy leader Xue Hua?"Whispers ensued, and all the spotlight instantly moved to the newly arrived figure, who was called from Xue Hua Academy.Apparently, the appearance of this newly arrived figure, although not much different in age from Gong Fang, but his young-looking face, like a young man in his twenties, exudes an alluring charisma.His dramatic appearance caught everyone's attention.As a newcomer to the Jin Shuang Empire, Eadric Rong was clearly confused by the names of the night's cel

  • Arriving at Capital.

    Eadric Rong made the long journey on foot to Xuefeng Du Town, spending nearly two months on the winding, challenging roads.He deliberately chose the grueling overland journey, using every opportunity to practice the Ferris Wheel Sword Art and meditate in an attempt to break through to the Golden Lotus Swordsman level.However, no matter how hard he tried, every attempt ended in vain, as if there was an invisible wall blocking his progress."I really need to get Zhen Long Pills to break through to the Golden Lotus Swordsman level," Eadric Rong muttered to himself as he stood before the East gate of Xuefeng Du City.The towering city fortress, painted in a faded gray-white color, stood firmly in front of him. The road above the fort was lined with soldiers on patrol, creating a haunting atmosphere but at the same time providing a sense of security for the townspeople.One of the soldiers guarding the entrance, a man with a hard face and a sharp gaze, glanced at Eadric Rong."Daozhang,
