Today, Edmon Ouwyang was deliberately being attractive to catch his attention. "Isn't it the case that if I become someone close to Elder Zhou Ming, I will be the first to be informed if there is a discounted sale of copies of skills?" thought Edmon Ouwyang.With his status as the son of a rich man from Tanshan City, he would later ask his father to send attractive gifts, perhaps even gold coins to win over this elder.Edmon Ouwyang was already so optimistic about pocketing this copy of the body lightening skill. However, he was surprised to hear Elder Zhou Ming's voice saying in a lazy tone,"The fee for a copy of the Flying Technique on the grass is 500 Contribution Points. No less! Give me your disciple badge, and I'll deduct your points for this copy!"BOOM!Edmon Ouwyang's face suddenly froze, as if transfixed."Five hundred contribution points?" Edmon Ouwyang repeated the question, his voice filled with disbelief. As a new disciple in the sect, he only had 100 contribution point
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Grass Flying Training.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the Wudang Sect Store was engulfed in an aura of excitement. Everyone who had been watching the commotion that Ouyang Jin and his friends had caused now came closer, eager to witness the ensuing chaos."This new kid is trying to play crazy in front of Elder Zhou Ming!" said one of the disciples in a sarcastic tone. His voice echoed through the crowd, creating a wave of scorn."Just look, this next ignorant brat; he'll be dragged and thrown onto the streets too!" chimed in another student, adding spice to an already heated situation.The crowd of Tier two and three disciples were already whispering, their anticipation peaking. They wanted to watch the show as Eadric Rong advanced with steady steps to pay for that copy of the Body Lightening Technique.However, the reality was the opposite of what they expected. The transaction was successful; the contribution point of the first-year child badge was accepted."How is that possible?" muttered one of the

The next morning, as the sunlight began to sneak in through the paper cracks in the holey window, Eadric Rong opened his eyes feeling refreshed.He felt as if he had never felt the aches and pains from the practice of lightening his body on the bamboo poles. He was ready to face the new day with renewed vigor.A week had passed, and Eadric Rong was seen moving nimbly on bamboo poles of varying heights. He moved nimbly like a squirrel, hopping from one bollard to another without making a sound.The vibrations in the bamboo bollards, which used to sway violently, were now softer and more subtle.On the morning of the eighth day, Eadric Rong stood in front of the bamboo poles with two perforated iron plates that had ropes on each side. "Alright, let's enter the second era of torture!" whispered Eadric Rong excitedly.He bent down, then tied an iron plate weighing 10 jin each to his left leg and also to his right leg. The two plates weighed 20 jin in total. (Two jin = 1 kg.)Eadric Rong h

He then stood up and girded his loins, looking out into the darkness of the night that stretched out in front of him."Eadric Rong will be finished this time. I have designed a trap for his death!" When speaking like this, there was an evil glint in Edmon Ouwyang's eyes.Currently, four of them were gathered in one of the gazebos above the lotus-filled lake.In that place, there were about ten gazebos. The Wudang Sect, indeed, had provided several places like this that were often used by their disciples for recreation or simply to discuss knowledge and cultivation methods for their own advancement.The atmosphere was peaceful and quiet, with only the gurgling of the lake water and the gentle breeze blowing, adding to the peaceful atmosphere.The night breeze rustling in through the cracks in their clothes made Edmon Ouwyang's three friends unknowingly start shivering in fear as they heard Edmon Ouwyang's words. Zhou Jia, the quietest of the four, spoke in a tone full of worry."But, m
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Mission to Yunshui Chun Village - Part III.
The long and grueling journey to Yunshui Village took more than five full days if done on foot.Along the way, there were many places to pass through and challenges to face before they could finally arrive at their destination village.On that morning, right in front of the Wudang Sect Gate, when Edmon Ouwyang's group had been preparing to carry out the mission as a first-year disciple's obligation, a person suddenly approached the group led by Edmon Ouwyang."Stop!" he shouted loudly. At that moment, the five teenagers had already started down the stairs. Suddenly, the shout startled everyone."What's wrong?" Edmon Ouwyang's voice sounded nervous, afraid that his plan would be exposed.The five teenagers turned around. It turned out to be Senior Duan, who was a part-time intern in the mission department. Edmon Ouwyang's face instantly turned relieved.They simultaneously bowed and paid their respects to the young man who had just arrived. "Senior Duan!" they said in unison, their bod

Edmon Ouwyang felt that since this was Tanshan City and his father was a government official there, he was free to break the rules. Haughtily, he stared at his three comrades, completely ignoring Eadric Rong's opinion."Alright. I'll stay at your house!" replied Fenwick Zhao. "Me too," Callum Zeng said.Xavian Zou shrugged and said in a resigned tone, "Since you've all agreed, I'll just follow!"Edmon Ouwyang's eyes flashed slyly. "If the majority..." he thought.When the four children stepped into Edmon Ouwyang's house, which was said to be luxurious and magnificent, Fenwick Zhao suddenly realized something."Hey... where's Eadric Rong? Why didn't he come with us to Edmon Ouwyang's house?" he asked in surprise.Edmon Ouwyang, who had thought that Eadric Rong would follow them even though he was not invited, was immediately surprised."Where did that poor kid go? Always making trouble for others!" he complained in a displeased tone."It's him!" hissed Edmon Ouwyang. Just then, they sa
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Jade Cloud Temple.
Teng - teng - tengThe night watchman in Tanshan City had just struck the gong loudly, signaling that it was 11 pm to 1 am. At the same time, Eadric Rong was engrossed in silent meditation, collecting the cool night air currents and cold moonlight, transforming them into vital energy in his body.His sharp ears were suddenly alert, hearing the sound of the footsteps of five martial experts walking carefully and silently.He opened his eyes and thought for a moment in the silence of the night. "Is it Edmon Ouwyang and his three friends?" he thought to himself.However, that question soon turned into deep doubt. "Shouldn't there be four of them? Why are there five footsteps?" thought Eadric Rong, filled with dangling question marks. He felt that something was wrong but couldn't be sure what it was.Before leaving the hall of the Jade Cloud Temple to find out who the five figures walking in the silence of the night were, there was a sudden bone-chilling snort from the Temple grounds."Yo
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Gio Cloud Temple - Part Two.
The night had fallen silent, and the moon in the sky seemed to glow like a ring of pure silver, surrounded by a dazzling halo.This scene gave a magical sparkle that made the sky appear beautiful and enchanting. However, this beauty was in stark contrast to the tense atmosphere of the Jade Cloud Temple.Under a Prem tree with leaves swaying in the night breeze, four shadowy human figures stood in a battle-ready stance. The dim moonlight reflected their shadows on the ground, creating an increasingly tense atmosphere.Three male figures dressed all in black seemed to surround a boy who was holding a sword firmly. The three black-clad adults stood in a ganging formation, ready to attack the boy standing in their midst.Nonetheless, the faces of the three black-clad adult male figures looked tense, filled with hidden worry and fear. This was evident when they saw their two comrades lying helplessly in the courtyard of the Jade Cloud Temple in a lifeless state.This was in stark contrast

Arrival of Invited Guests.
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,
The Second Zircon Turtle.
That morning, fresh air enveloped the Sacred Heart Temple, and soft sunlight spread among the tall pine trees. Eadric Rong, with steady steps, asked the audience to meet the Head of the Temple, Priest Yin Fai.In the courtyard, Hanki, the Taoist disciple who often seemed busy, was sweeping attentively. However, the scraping sound of the broomstick on the ground and the dissatisfied murmur that kept escaping his lips showed that he was not in a good mood.When Eadric Rong arrived, Hanki was startled and almost dropped his broom."What are you upset about, disciple Tao?" asked Eadric Rong in a thoughtful tone.Hanki, surprised and his face changing instantly from an annoyed expression to a calmer one, replied with a forced cheerful look on his face."Ah, Teacher Tao Guo. You really took me by surprise. Actually, I'm grumbling because the leaves of this maple tree keep falling every day, piling up, and making me have to work harder..."Meanwhile, Hanki's hands continued to move, sweeping
Three Disciples, Three Legacies.
As time passed and he grew older, Juedai Jianren, who was estimated to be two hundred years old, decided to take three young children as his disciples.He then passed down his magic to them, each according to the natural talents of the three children.The first disciple, who was very fond of fighting, was given a cultivation book called the Book of Long Xuan Shu. This disciple turned out to have a very high cultivation talent, with pure energy so strong that it was hard to find a match.With an extraordinary ability to cultivate true energy, this first disciple effortlessly created martial arts style after style, becoming an extremely feared figure in the martial world (Jianghu).All the deadly sword arts and palm arts are contained in the book, making it both a dangerous and highly desirable legacy.Juedai Jianren's second disciple was someone who was deeply steeped in the art of healing. His deep interest in healing led his teacher, Juedai Jianren, to give him the Book of Heavenly H
Whispers Beneath Pine Shadows.
The refiner painstakingly gulped down the potion, and before long, his labored breathing began to sound more regular, albeit very weak."Are you okay?" asked Eadric Rong, his eyes looking full of worry.With a voice that sounded flat and weak, Refiner Zhou replied,"Young man, once again you saved me. However, this time everything is useless. My life will no longer be helped. I have only a few moments to live," he said, his breathing getting heavier and labored.As he spoke, Refiner Zhou's voice sounded very weak, like a whisper of wind that almost vanished into the silence of the night."You'd better stop talking, Mr. Zhou. If you continue to exert yourself, your injuries could get worse. Rest, let your body recover a bit," Eadric Rong said in a caring tone, his eyes looking at Refiner Zhou with deep concern.Refiner Zhou, however, gently rejected the suggestion. A faint smile was etched on his pale lips, as if he had already accepted his imminent fate."My life is running out, young
Bloodshed in Pine Shadows.
The long wait made Eadric Rong's heart even more uneasy. He just paced the courtyard of the Sacred Heart Temple, which was full of piles of fallen maple leaves.The leaves were scattered on the ground, creating a somber scene with a red-brown color."Teacher Tao Guo, what's making you uneasy?" asked Hanki, the Taoist disciple who had greeted him at the gate yesterday. Hanki was sweeping the courtyard that looked yellowed with a carpet of decaying maple leaves.The sound of the broomstick scraping against the ground could be heard crackling, adding to the anxiety that had already taken hold of Eadric Rong."I'm waiting for the old man who was with me last night. He left at night and hasn't returned yet," Eadric Rong replied as he glanced toward the gate, hoping to see the figure he was waiting for emerge from the shadows.Hanki's face was wide-eyed, his eyes widening as if he had just heard something very shocking. With an innocent yet curious face, he gave an answer that made Eadric R
Sounds of Battle on the Ridge.
However, as a pious Taoist, Eadric Rong chose to respond with kindness. A faint smile appeared on his face as he patted Blacksmith Zhou's shoulder, providing a sense of calm."No need to worry, Blacksmith Zhou. Let's go inside the temple and rest," Eadric Rong said gently, guiding Refiner Zhou to come inside the Sacred Heart Temple.Once they entered the guest room that the Taoist disciple had pointed out, they found that it was very simple. Inside the room, there was only one old bed that looked weathered, but everything was kept clean."Please lie down on this bed, and I'll sleep on the lounger here," Eadric Rong said in a humble tone, though he actually felt a little uncomfortable.Blacksmith Zhou immediately shook his head, unwilling to accept the offer. "I'm just a follower who happened to follow your journey.""You'd better sleep in this bed, young man. Even on the floor I can rest well," replied Blacksmith Zhou, insisting."Don't!" said Eadric Rong firmly, yet gently. There was
Sacred Heart Temple.
At that time, there were two main faiths practiced by the people of the Longhai Continent: Buddhism and Daoism. If in the Yue Chuan Empire, Daoism dominated and became the most respected faith, it was different in the Jin Shuang Empire.Here, the Emperor himself practiced Buddhism, so there are many magnificent Buddhist temples scattered at almost every important point in the city. Taoist temples, on the other hand, are rare, with only a few surviving.The Sacred Heart Temple was one of the remaining Daoist temples in the city, hidden in a corner of Baiyung Chen City. It was in a very unkempt state, it was obvious that no pilgrims had visited the place for a long time.The walls are cracked, and the once-bright paint is now faded with dust and moss.Eadric Rong stood in front of the tall, worn-out gate of the Sacred Heart Temple, knocking loudly on the round iron on the gate. It was already nighttime, and the surroundings were increasingly dim.There were very few oil lamps in the tem

He again bowed respectfully, this time more deeply, expressing his deep gratitude.Eadric Rong hurriedly stopped the old man's movements. He gently guided him to sit beside him, then offered him a piece of hard bread and cold water—the only food he had left.The old man accepted the food with trembling hands. After a few bites, the color of his face began to improve, and he began to speak."My name is Zhou Lianghua. I'm just a blacksmith who isn't famous. My purpose is to go to the capital to see the crowds. It's been a long time since I left the bustling world, and this time I want to have some fun. Who would have thought that on the way, I would catch a fever?" said Zhou Lianghua in a relieved tone, as if the burden he was carrying had been reduced.The moment Zhou Lianghua's name was mentioned, Eadric Rong felt something buzzing in his ears. He recalled a token—an item from the auction won by the Hell's Tomb Sect. That token was related to the name that was now in front of him."Zh
