With very slow steps, Eadric Rong walked across the lobby of the Moon Orchid Inn. He intended to climb the stairs that would take him to his room on the second floor of the inn.

Although it was early morning, the sun was not yet visible on the eastern horizon. The rooster had also crowed, but the street in front of the inn was still quiet.

The Moon Orchid Inn, located in the East Market of Daqi Town, is a modest inn that is not too big. From the entrance, which is always open, visitors will immediately find themselves in the lobby.

The inn does not have a large space for a flower garden or an area covered with Maple or Peach Trees, a custom found in high-end hotels.

In an instant, Eadric Rong was greeted by the Front Office clerk, who was battling sleepiness in the lobby. Taking a quick glance at the Front Office desk, he continued his slow pace.

"Hopefully, the officer won't notice my presence as I speed past!" thought Eadric Rong.

However, even though he walked so slowly that he bar

    Carefully, Eadric Rong removed the white underwear and discovered a long wound that stretched from the top of his chest to his abdomen. His eyes widened, and he bit his lip in pain."Luckily it's only an external wound; it didn't penetrate the internal organs," he said as he applied the wound medicine he had gotten from Kongjian's belt.He began to stitch up the long, gaping wound, once again biting his lip, an expression of pain drawn on his face due to the deep pain.After a sip of tea, the sword wound was no longer bleeding. Eadric Rong immediately sat in the Lotus position to cultivate."The energy of the Gobi Desert Sect's Thousand Flower Swordsmanship is really dangerous. Even though I managed to dismantle all of its energy, there's no way that the old nun's energy fragments could tear my chest like this!" Eadric Rong thought with relief.After cultivating for about two hours, all the blood flow in his meridians was restored, no longer as chaotic as before.Eadric Rong felt very

  • The Secret of The Demonic Artifact   New Appearance.

    With his humble appearance, where the Taoist robes he wore were worn and frayed in places, Eadric Rong looked like a poverty-stricken shadow of the past.One of the waiters at the Five-Silk Shop, a well-known shop in the capital, thought that Eadric Rong was a beggar and sent him away.In those days, it was very common for a Taoist to ask for alms from those he deemed capable.And in return, they would repay the favor by imparting some skills such as writing simple amulets that ward off evil spirits or writing calligraphy with wise sentences that can provide inspiration."Go away..." the Five-Silk Shop attendant's voice lowered after seeing that the figure he thought was a beggar turned out to be a Taoist."Our Five Sutra Shop already has many evil spirit-repelling talismans, as well as calligraphy of wise words," he said with a pretense of humility, yet there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.It was true that he looked down on the Taoist just because of his simple appearance.Even

    Meanwhile, at the door of the Five-Silk Shop, Eadric Rong flashed a faint smile on his face before he finally entered the Five-Silk Shop.The decorations and interiors inside the shop were so luxurious that Eadric Rong was amazed.He stood in the middle of the shop, his eyes looking in all directions, trying to find a suitable material and model to replace his tattered Taoist robes."There won't be any time left," Eadric Rong muttered to himself, "if I buy the materials and then sew them to my liking."Thinking that he was there, then, inevitably, he had to buy the apparel that had been provided at the Five-Silk Shop.At the front of the shop, various types of silk fabrics are beautifully displayed. However, in the deeper section, the Five-Silk Shop sells handmade apparel. It is rumored that the clothes hand-sewn by artisans at the Five-Silk Shop are among the most expensive in the capital.Without hesitation, Eadric Rong stepped into the special area. His eyes wandered around, pickin

    Amidst the bustling streets of Daqi City, Eadric Rong suddenly heard a familiar voice speaking loudly."Miss Wei, why don't you enroll in the Wudang Sect with me?" asked the voice, full of confidence."Auditioning from the Gobi Desert Sect will not grant you the privilege of being accepted as an Inner Court disciple. If you are willing to join me, I have connections. Guaranteed, you will be instantly accepted as an inner court disciple in the Wudang Sect!""Really?" asked a girl in a hopeful tone."I want to train in the Wudang Sect, provided I am accepted as an Inner Court Disciple. I don't want to be an outer court disciple," she said in a spoiled tone."Come with me," the man replied, sounding overjoyed.Children of aristocrats or officials in the capital usually attend the Imperial Academy, which teaches literary subjects such as composing poetry, writing calligraphy, as well as practicing traditional musical arts.However, to complete their graduation from Wenhua Academy, all stu

    A moment later, Eadric Rong was already standing at the top of the steps in the Sea Pearl Restaurant.He cast his eyes around the spacious second-floor room.There were not many people there. However, most of the people sitting on the second floor were Cultivators, otherwise they were from the Palace or the nobility, who were negotiating the admission of new disciples.Until finally, Eadric Rong's wandering eyes locked onto five figures who seemed to be sitting and talking in very loud voices, as if they were the greatest cultivators in the room.However, one thing that struck Eadric Rong was the figures of three people who seemed to be from the Wudang Sect. Three figures that he recognized, and would never forget for bullying him in the past."Malakai Yan, Judith Tang, and Teddy Huo..." a flash of vengeance instantly filled Eadric Rong's eyes, giving him a terrifying look. If anyone saw Eadric Rong's current gaze, it was certain that they would be horrified.>>> On the second floor

    "I guarantee that both of you will be accepted into the Wudang Sect," Malakai Yan said with confidence."If there is no one among the elders or martial instructors willing to make you direct disciples and give you the title of inner court disciple, I will ask my father to personally appoint you two.That way, your problem of becoming a special student is in sight... you don't have to worry about it anymore!""Yes, Young Master Malakai Yan," Yang Haoran said excitedly. He motioned for Wei Zifu to join him in saluting Malakai Yan, who now looked friendlier and better-looking than before.After the emotionally draining negotiations took place, the next event was a lively food and drink party."Let's party!" shouted Yang Haoran in a resounding voice. He felt very satisfied, successfully winning the negotiation.In fact, it is said that Malakai Yan is very difficult to approach, let alone ask for help. "Maybe it's because of the status of the two of us, who came from the palace, that he is

    The Seven Star Swordmanship, which is one of the most respected sword arts in the Wudang Sect, is indeed of extraordinary power.However, the lethal power of this sword art would be reduced if practiced in solo combat.This is what happened when Malakai Yan, with extraordinary courage, launched a solo attack on a stranger on a deserted street, late at night.In every sword thrust he executed, Malakai Yan had time to analyze his attack. With his breath catching, he complained inwardly,"I can only use this Sword Art solo, my biggest mistake was underestimating the many solo sword techniques of the Wudang Sect, which I should have learned at an early age!"As the shadow of his body flashed quickly like lightning, his sword blade turned into a dangerous white-colored light, resembling a star in the night sky.However, amidst that speed and strength, Malakai Yan was immersed in a deep sense of regret. He realized that the loosely dressed figure standing calmly in front of him was a figure

    A loud whistling sound resounded in Daqi City at midnight. The help summoning device Malakai Yan released instantly flew over the horizon, and exploded with an extremely loud sound.DUAR!A special logo appeared in the sky, a sign that someone was summoning all the sect members to gather at the spot where Malakai Yan stood, brightly lit in the sky."Hehe... you're accusing me of illegal actions? Now let's see. Will you still be breathing, after all our Wudang Sect members gather here.Will you be able to report me, after you're dead?" Malakai Yan laughed mockingly. His eyes scoffed when he saw the sharp glint in the loosely clad figure's eyeballs.At that moment, the sky in Daqi City sounded a low rumble, as whistling sounds rang out from the four cardinal directions. The whistling was in response to the request for help Malakai Yan had released.A triumphant smile was already etched on Malakai Yan's lips. But at that crucial moment, he heard a hiss of anger from the mouth of the loos

    "Dao Shi? Why are you stewing? Let's sit down and have a discussion," Miss Murong said. By then, her slender body had already fallen onto a cushioned chair.Her movements were as smooth as an opera dancer's as her body floated up and landed on the cushioned chair. With a smile, Miss Murong looked at Eadric Rong, as if she had done nothing wrong.However, Eadric Rong, who was still curious, was not touched by that tenderness."I really don't understand," Eadric Rong said, his expression still confused. "Earlier you said you didn't know me. Yet now you call me Dao Shi. Then, why did those two ninjas have to attack me in earnest?" he asked, his face showing dissatisfaction.Miss Murong continued to smile, showing her teeth. She looked even more adorable. Miss Murong immediately clapped loudly, and the figures of male servants appeared from behind the door and directly carried the two ninjas who were still unconscious out.Without cleaning up the messy room, all the servants left and clos

  • Two Ninjas.

    Eadric Rong's face turned grim as Miss Murong said in a cold voice, "Sorry, I don't know you..."Along with those words, as if sending an unwritten message, the two ninjas surrounding Eadric Rong instantly moved with great agility. The wind seemed to carry an aura of menace from each of their movements as katanas were swung."Surrender, or we'll kill you!" shouted one of the ninjas in a deadly tone.At that moment, the katana held by one of the ninjas suddenly moved at an unreasonable speed. A white beam of light formed from the blade, causing a buzzing sound similar to that of a violently vibrating arrowhead to ring out confusingly.In an instant, the katana blade was already close to Eadric Rong's neck, so close that he could feel the cold metal.TSING!When the ninja was about to attach the katana to Eadric Rong's neck, a look of satisfaction crossed his face. The ninja shouted in a tone of excitement, "Rest!"PANG!However, to the surprise of the already happily smiling ninja, som

    It was still too early in the day for someone to visit and shop in this hall when Eadric Rong would step into the lobby."Sorry, Young Master. The Hall of Fortune Koi is not open yet. You can come back two hours from now," said the guard man at the entrance gate.The man spoke politely, while his friend beside him seemed to be silent. However, Eadric Rong could see that the hilt of the sword in the man's hand was ready to be slashed at any time if he made a scene."I want to see Miss Murong," Eadric Rong replied quickly. He showed the special VVIP token that Miss Murong had given him a while ago.The guard stared at the VVIP token for a moment before bowing respectfully. "Of course, Young Master. Please come in," he said as he opened the gate for Eadric Rong.As he walked to the cashier, Eadric Rong smiled happily. "This is how it feels to have privilege. I'm not given any trouble; I'm just treated like an important person."When he had arrived in front of the girl at the cash registe

    "Don't joke around. That figure has long since disappeared, and his story has never been heard of again!"Zhang Long Ying's facial expression seemed to be getting more and more interested. He even squinted his eyes, and his breathing turned ragged, seeming to be really enthusiastic about Caleb Yan's explanation.Seeing the sect leader who was now more interested, feeling that the bait had hit the mark, Caleb Yan loudly provoked further."Does the sect leader know that the one called the Little Pervert Priest carries a piece of junk as a weapon?""Don't look down on that piece of junk. It is said that the Minor Demon Priest can awaken the Sword Spirit if he uses that piece of junk as a weapon! Is this not too suspicious?"Caleb Yan's eyes flashed. His cunning had succeeded in making the Wudang Sect Leader, as well as the leader of the martial world, interested. And Priest Zhang's face paled, as he said that Little Priest could awaken the Sword Spirit when using junk as weapons."Please

    Vice-leader Caleb Yan again prostrated himself and banged his forehead against the ground, unwilling to raise his head. He made a request that shocked the Wudang Sect Leader."Let me bring five hundred key disciples and main disciples of the Wudang Sect; we will eradicate one black sect after another...""If the Leader doesn't give permission, I'm afraid there will be assumptions out there that the Wudang Sect Leader loves the black sects more, rather than protecting the Wudang Sect disciples and the white sects..." Caleb Yan was very cunning.He knew that as the leader of the Martial World, Priest Zhang Long Ying had always avoided disputes between the White Sect and the Black Sect. He did not want the chaotic era of a hundred years ago due to the clash of the two sects to ruin the harmony and order of the world that is already fine today."Sassy!" shouted Zhang Long Ying in a booming voice.Zhang Long Ying's face instantly hardened like stone, his teeth gnashing.

    "The look in his eyes is like a tiger's, I recognize that look!" muttered Xia Mu frantically.On the night of the attack in the hallway on the young man who won the Hundred Talisman Manual auction, Xia Mu sat some distance away. But he could not forget that cold look in his eyes and that deadly aura."That young man in the hallway!" hissed Xia Mu. He no longer had time to escape. The only way was to attack first before being attacked.SUIIT.A whistling sound rang out as Xia Mu stopped the foot strike and turned his palm into an eagle claw, ready to smash into the Priest's skull."Die!" shouted Xia Mu encouragingly to himself. His expression turned evil.However, unfortunately, a thousand pities. I don't know how, but the figure of the priest had already lifted his two legs and floated, but his head seemed to be at the same level as Xia Mu's eyes. He stared coldly while flashing a mocking smile.Just then, the Eagle Claw Xia Mu launched escaped and hit empty air, as the priest muttere

    Xia Mu was originally a cultivator who later joined the Beggar's Society. He was actually a rogue cultivator with no school or sect. He learned all his martial arts skills by relying on his cunning and taking advantage of others.For example, his relative Duan Xiang in the Khong Tong Sect was happy to teach him the martial techniques of the Khong Tong Sect. Although Xia Mu had no intention of applying to be part of this empty-handed martial arts sect."Why should I join and be attached to an organization, if only to become an ordinary member?" Xia Mu questioned. "I have to at least be a person of status in the sect or association to join!" he said, as he asked Duan Xiang to teach him hand-to-hand combat, a secret technique of the sect.Compassionate after hearing young Xia Mu's whining, his relative Duan Xiang—an elder in the Khong Tong Sect—taught him a hand-to-hand technique known as Yin Zhao Gong - Eagle Claw Style."Be careful using this Eagle Claw Style, as it is only learned by

    With a powerful push, the Black Bat King pushed Yan Huansheng, so that the man staggered back, and fell heavily. His limp body slammed straight into the chairs and tables in the room. BRAK!Hurry up... In a stupor, Yan Huansheng attempted to stand up, and wanted to kneel down to worship the Black Bat King, and take his heart.He bowed pleadingly... "Forgive me, Bianfu Wang..."However, the words full of falsehood from Yan Huansheng's lips stopped halfway.The figure of the Black Bat King has disappeared, who knows when he left. This Black Bat King moved like a demon that could penetrate time and space, making no sound at all.Yan Huansheng shivered even more, remembering his impudence in mentioning that the Black Bat King had died earlier."How dangerous... It's dangerous..." Yan Huansheng hissed as he wiped the sweat from his temples. His fear was so deep that he forgot that there was a trickle of blood flowing from the wound on his neck.However, Yan Huansheng's eyes were fixed on a

  • Five-Color Organization - Part III.

    Inside the main room of the Five Colors Organization, Yan Huansheng, the authoritative and feared leader, had not slept that night. His habits were opposite to those of ordinary people.For him, day became night, and night became day when he worked. Most orders to kill someone were usually carried out secretly by figures who did not want to be recognized by anyone.This was the reason why Yan Huansheng had not gone to bed even though it was already the early hours of the night.As Yan Huansheng was busy calculating the amount of revenue that had come in this week, he was struck by something odd."Why hasn't that porridge man come back yet? Did something happen to him?" muttered Yan Huansheng. His eyes were glued to the notepad in front of him, and he did not look up even though at that moment, the sound of shoes could be heard quite loudly, walking into his room."Did that Liu Jin fail in his task of killing the auction-winning boy in the Hall of Fortune Koi? Ah... but that's impossib
