Leader Liu, with a beaming and grateful face, pointed at Eadric Rong."Last night, this valiant youngster from the Wudang Sect successfully dispatched the ghost of that curious dead woman. Therefore, this morning we have all gathered in Grandpa Shang's courtyard to pay our last respects to divine Cultivator Eadric Rong before he returns to the Wudang Sect in the North!"Hearing this explanation, the Lingbao Priest seemed to nod while stroking his long, white beard. "Siancai... siancai..." he said.But Eadric Rong's observant eyes caught a trace of anger in the form of lightning in the priest's eyes, though only for an instant.But with great ingenuity and experience, the traces of anger disappeared. Priest Lingbao's face brightened with piety. He praised Eadric Rong with the same gaze as if he were judging chickens in the market."Although he is still young, he already possesses extraordinary talent and is full of martial arts power. As the representative of the Yunshui Chun villagers
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Death of Lingbao Priest - Part One.
The Lingbao priest stood tall among the towering pine trunks, like a ferocious brute ready to terrorize the opposition.The soft moonlight fell on his back, creating a shadow that looked long and mysterious, like a witch preparing to cast a spell.Horsetail whisk's mane, his signature weapon, seemed to rustle in his hand, as if responding to the wind that blew softly between the pine trunks.Its appearance seems very dramatic, like a demon that has just emerged from the darkness, creepy yet alluring.Eadric Rong, who had predicted this would happen from the moment he left Yunshui Chun Village, simply snorted coldly and made a body-relieving gesture.WUSH!With incredible speed and precision, he leapt into the Flying Over Grass - a beautiful yet fast somersault.In an instant, accompanied by a high-pitched whistling sound that broke the silence of the night, Eadric Rong's body was already on a level at a height of three meters.With the sharp, gleaming Xingyin sword in his hand, he cha

It included no less than twenty-five talismans that would be of great benefit to him in the future.While in the spiritual energy gathering technique manual, he found that the truth of the matter was that the curious female ghost in red always gathered spiritual energy from the various people she killed.Then stored it in the medicine tube that Eadric Rong found."Perhaps this is what the evil priest is looking for in me!" thought Eadric Rong as he observed the potion bottle that probably contained spiritual energy collected by the curious ghost.He found the bottle in the forest near Yunshui Pagoda when he killed the female ghost in red.After arriving at the point that all his discoveries were treasures (not counting the gold coins), Eadric Rong cultivated quietly. He sat cross-legged, eyes tightly closed, and his breathing was regular."Upon arrival at the Wudang Sect, I will train my spiritual energy, to become a spiritual expert, in addition to becoming a swordsman," he thought,
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Mr. Errol Hou's Surprise.
At dusk, Eadric Rong walked at a brisk pace through the streets of Tanshan City. His destination was Tanshan Market, where the Dusk Dew Shop was located. It was a shop that provided equipment for cultivators and had become his regular.Taking a quick look inside the market, Eadric Rong concluded. Tanshan Market at dusk was usually quiet, unlike the usual crowds in the morning and afternoon.From a distance, he sat upright on White's back, Eadric Rong looked towards the Dusk Dew Shop. There was a slightly chubby but clean-faced man, who was about to pull down the curtains and close the shop door. The man was Mr. Errol Hou, the owner of the Dusk Dew Shop.White immediately ran fast..."Wait a minute, Mr. Errol Hou," Eadric Rong shouted, his voice breaking the silence of the market. He hurried over to the shop and stood right in front of Mr. Errol Hou. "Please forgive my late arrival.""However, I have to sell all these things now. After I return to Wudang Peak, the possibility of descen

Eadric Rong's chest was beating fast, like a war drum beating at a fast rhythm. He was in the inner room of the Dusk Dew Shop in Tanshan City, with Mr. Hou Yan, the shop owner.That heartbeat of his resonated with a powerful aura, an aura emitted by Jinlong's strangely shaped ranking weapon—an umbrella, that's what Mr. Hou Yan said.The weapon was now displayed before his eyes, emitting an astonishing glow that was almost blinding."This Jinlong rank weapon," said Mr. Hou Yan in a tone full of appreciation, "is the masterpiece of my father, the weapon forger Hou Gang.”“His skill is undoubtedly renowned between the two mountains, Wudang and Zhonglu. “I have never even offered this weapon for sale to anyone." His face looked solemn, his eyes staring at Eadric Rong with an intensity that could almost be felt."Yet somehow, I feel this weapon suits you, young Swordsman," said Mr. Hou Yan. He ended his praise and flattery with a warm smile.However, there was something that Mr. Hou Yan d
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Return to the Wudang Sect - Part II.
Mr. Hou Yan secretly noticed Eadric Rong's face turn excited when two hundred and fifty gold taels were returned to him as a sign that the Jinlong Umbrella Weapon was worth five hundred gold taels.Eadric Rong looked hesitant to ask what equipment he would need to make an amulet or talisman. However, Mr. Hou Yan read the hesitation in his eyes and said softly,"Young swordsman, don't be shy with me. Just tell me what you want. Hou Yan will try to fulfill your request!"There was a moment of silence. Eadric Rong was indeed a bit introverted.However, a moment later, after feeling that Mr. Hou Yan was a good person, Eadric Rong said in a low voice,"Mr. Hou Yan, do you know what equipment I should buy if I want to write a talisman?""What!" Mr. Hou Yan almost shouted.Talisman-making skills were something extremely rare. However, this youngster intends to buy equipment to write talismans?"He really is a future monster!" thought Mr. Hou Yan. He looked at Eadric Rong more deeply, with an

Last night, Hou Yan had mentioned Eadric Rong's genius to his father Hou Gang, who had become very impressed with the boy."He'll be at the top of the world on Lotus Continent later," Hou Gang hissed almost inaudibly.The sun was rolling fast. It was already overhead.At the Wudang Sect Gate, Eadric Rong looked up with a feeling of excitement."This is my home! I will practice spiritual skills, after reporting to the Sect Mission Bureau."But something unexpected happened.When Eadric Rong's footsteps were halfway up the stairs to the top of the Wudang Sect, suddenly twenty people flashed and locked him in a sword formation."Eadric Rong, the treacherous Wudang Sect first-year disciple! Accept the punishment of the Investigation and Punishment Bureau!"Eadric Rong's face tightened. "What did I do wrong? Why am I labeled as a traitorous disciple?"On that day, on the steps that connected the Wudang Sect from the foot of the majestic Wudang Mountain, there was Eadric Rong surrounded by
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Bureau of Prisons.
Eadric Rong was placed in a desolate cave, a special prison for disciples deemed to have broken the rules of the Wudang Sect.The cave was located behind the Wudang Sect Main Building, a place that was heavily guarded by middle-level disciples who had cultivated high enough to prevent anyone punished there from escaping.Eadric Rong was placed in one of the iron-lined rooms, a room that measured 3 x 3 meters. It was one of the six rooms in the cave, with three on the left side and three on the right side of the cave.No other students were in the prison in the other five rooms. Because the cave was located deep inside, there was very little light. There were only oil lamps on each of the left and right sides, and one oil lamp each in the six rooms.Eadric Rong sat on the shabby pile of straw that served as his bedding and tried hard to ignore the feelings of anger that were overwhelming him."Who exactly dares to accuse me of being a traitor? But we'll find out tomorrow. I won't let t

"Don't rush, Guardsman Mo Jiang. We'll wait a little longer. My guest has promised, and I'm sure he can't be lying. The news I bring is very important, too big to just ignore."Mo Jiang and Mo Feng exchanged glances, then nodded obediently. Although their patience was starting to erode, the orders from their master had to be followed without question.They remained standing at attention, guarding the door attentively, while Bai Mingyuan sipped his hot tea slowly, waiting with confidence that this meeting would happen soon.Not long after, the calm atmosphere of the room suddenly changed. As if sensing a change in the surrounding energy, Mo Jiang and Mo Feng simultaneously raised their faces, watching the surroundings carefully.A strong and unusual aura began to approach, feeling like a wave of pressure enveloping the second floor."Who is it?" whispered Mo Jiang in a low yet tense voice, his eyes narrowed to stare at the stairs.Mo Feng, who was beside him, reflexively gripped the hi
Agreed – Part II.
However, before he could bow further, Eadric Rong raised his hand, putting a stop to the humble gesture."Crown Prince," Eadric Rong said in a stern tone, "there is no need for you to grovel like this. I am not from this empire and am not attached to any sect here. The State Master's standing in the martial world will not affect my decision."Eadric Rong looked at the Crown Prince with a look full of confidence, then continued,"Retract your respect. This is an equal cooperation between us. You ask for my support, and in return, I benefit from the various resources you promised."Hearing those words, the Crown Prince's smile grew wider, his face full of gratitude."Thank you, Master Tao. Later today, I will send an alchemist to meet you. Whatever you need, please tell him, and he will concoct medicines according to your wishes."The conversation, which was expected to be brief, lasted longer than expected.Time flew by, and by the time they parted, the sky had turned a reddish-orange,
Agreed.
Finally, after pondering for a long time, Eadric Rong took a deep breath and solidified his decision."Very well, Crown Prince," Eadric Rong said as he stared straight ahead, exuding the calmness of an expert."I will stay in your residence, but on one condition: I want no disturbances while I shut myself up in the pavilion you provide. Just send two servants to clean the pavilion and cook for me, nothing more."Hearing this decision, the Crown Prince's face instantly brightened, almost like the moon appearing behind the night clouds.He did not expect that the new number one genius known to the entire empire would so readily agree to stay in his residence. Excitement welled up in his heart, but he tried to refrain from showing too much enthusiasm.Back in the day, the residence of the nobles—more so the royal family—was a sprawling complex that was more like a manor, with many pavilions.Each pavilion has its own function: for guests, main wives, concubines, and even some for the eld
The Emperor’s Edict and Imperial Rewards.
The tune added to the beauty of the twilight they were enjoying. However, the silence was suddenly broken by the loud voice of an Imperial protocol who came with a message."Dragon Priest—Master Tao Guo. Accept the Emperor's command!" the voice sounded stern, carrying an official aura that could not be ignored.Suddenly, the rhythmic beating of traditional music accompanied the footsteps of the Emperor's trusted eunuch who walked into the garden.The long golden scroll that the eunuch carried in his hand symbolized the supreme power of the Empire, as if the Emperor himself were present before them.As soon as the Emperor's command was heard, Eadric Rong and the Crown Prince immediately rose from their seats. Respectfully, they knelt down and bowed their heads deeply, as has been the tradition for centuries.The presence of an Imperial edict is a direct manifestation of the Emperor, and everyone who hears it is obliged to show deep respect, as if the emperor himself were standing befor
Tea and Tension in the Imperial Garden.
Eadric Rong's departure with the Crown Prince left a tense atmosphere in the Golden Dragon Hall. From where he stood, the State Master's face looked grim, showing an expression filled with dissatisfaction.His forehead furrowed sharply, clearly displeased at how Eadric Rong had easily followed the Crown Prince's invitation without considering his presence."Master... what should we do? How could Brother Crown Prince manage to persuade someone from Jianghu to follow his orders?" asked Ninth Prince Su Weizhao in a worried tone.His face looked pale, and his eyes were glazed over, almost like a frightened child."If Priest Guo really is allied with Brother Crown Prince, our position could be further jeopardized! What will happen if he supports my brother in the struggle for the throne?"The anxiety was increasingly evident on Su Weizhao's face. He knew that the presence of a figure as great as Eadric Rong by the Crown Prince’s side could change the power map in the palace.The State Teac
The Magic Show.
The air around him vibrated, forming a pattern perceptible only to those sensitive to spiritual power.REST!Rong Guo hissed softly, his eyes shining sharply, full of concentration. The spiritual energy wave he released now imprisoned the red dragon more tightly, making the magical creature writhe in pain, as if burning from within.The dragon roared, trying to break free from the tightening spiritual prison, but in vain. The harder it struggled, the stronger the spiritual energy Rong Guo channeled became, thickening the illusionary prison that trapped the dragon."DUAR!"The red dragon’s final roar thundered throughout the hall, followed by a tremendous explosion.Unable to resist the power pressing on it, the dragon’s body shattered into pieces, exploding into shards of light that scattered in all directions before vanishing entirely."WUUT!"Suddenly, a peachwood staff appeared in Rong Guo’s hand, as if conjured from thin air.The long red ribbon that had gracefully wrapped the sta
The Strange Dancing Girl.
“Kill that girl! She’s a spy!” another shouted, his voice trembling with fear.State Teacher Xue Yinggui, who had sensed something strange from the start, moved faster than anyone else.In an instant, he stood before the strange girl, blocking her with astonishing speed. His palms opened wide, and from inside his robe, hundreds of silver needles shot out with deadly precision, raining down on the girl’s body.The State Teacher, a cultivator from the Green Valley Sect, was famous for his expertise in secret weapons. Each needle was soaked in deadly poison.In just a moment, the needles struck the girl’s body with perfect precision. She flinched, her eyes wide for a moment before her body collapsed lifelessly to the floor.But the terrifying red dragon... who could stop it? While the Emperor and Empress still seemed entranced, trapped in the girl’s magic, they could only watch helplessly as the illusory dragon floated closer, preparing to open its mouth and unleash a flame ready to engu
Tension in the Golden Dragon Hall – Part II.
It was common knowledge in the palace and throughout the capital that nothing in this land was beyond purchase. Whatever happened behind the scenes quickly became the talk of the town.The incident last night, when Crown Prince Su Qingheng met the Dragon Priest—the number one genius—spread like wildfire throughout the palace.The State Teacher, who was late in approaching Rong Guo, the genius stealing the spotlight, clearly felt humiliated.In his intrigue-filled mind, as someone from the Jianghu (martial world), the State Teacher did not want any Jianghu expert to side with Crown Prince Su Qingheng.However, his negligence in not taking strategic steps to approach Rong Guo made his heart burn hotter.Since last night, his face had been gloomy, as if bearing shame and disappointment.Everyone knew the State Teacher favored Ninth Prince Su Weizhao as the successor to the throne. Naturally, the reason was not far from personal ties.Su Weizhao was his martial arts disciple, and in his e
Tension in the Golden Dragon Hall.
State Teacher Xue Yinggui still appeared vigorous, with a dignified face resembling that of a man in his forties.However, in reality, the State Teacher was nearing seventy years old. Nonetheless, his spirit and sharp eyes still radiated a strength unweathered by age.His steady footsteps echoed through the Golden Dragon Hall as he was the first to enter the room, drawing the attention of everyone present.Every pair of eyes fixed on him, watching every movement and expression. In the silence that followed, the young champions immediately stood and saluted, bowing their heads with sincere respect.Yet, Xue Yinggui seemed undisturbed by all this. His gaze calmly swept across the hall, as if searching for someone. His sharp eyes stopped on the simple figure of the young man, Rong Guo.The Taoist attire worn by Rong Guo added to his calm and modest impression, though a great power was hidden behind his appearance.The State Teacher's gaze seemed piercing, as if trying to penetrate the de
