Negotiation.
The cold wind blowing alone made him feel how weak his body was right now.If he forced himself, instead of reaching the destination in Baiyung Chen City, death and the threat of natural factors would definitely hinder his journey. His mind whirled, thinking of the best way to travel without endangering himself."However, I must go to that Baiyung Chen City after all!" muttered Eadric Rong softly.When he was about to lose hope, Du Fu suddenly gave him information that made Eadric Rong feel warm."Why not come with Mr. Shangguan Shangyin's freight train? Every two weeks, there is a large horse-drawn carriage that travels to Lengyang City. From there, the journey to Baiyung Chen City is not as difficult and extreme as the journey from Hanjiang," Du Fu explained passionately.Please note, Mr. Shangguan Shangyin is one of the wealthy people in Hanjiang City. He is the owner of the Cold Moon Pavilion, a place famous for its beauty and luxury."Really? How can I get on a horse-drawn carria
Negotiation – Part II.
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
The Journey Up Mount Wushen Part I.
"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. In the room, Du Fu had told him about the threats and obstacles along the way to Lengyang City.In the evening, just as the time shows the Xu-shi period, between 7pm and 9pm, a gentle evening breeze rustles along the streets and alleys of Hanjiang City.A chariot pulled by two horses seemed to be speeding away, leaving the hustle and bustle of the city and entering the darkness of the night.A charioteer dressed in a simple jute robe, co

"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
Deadly Fight.
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
Tanxiang Forest - Part I.
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
Tanxiang Forest - Part II.
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
A Talisman Master?
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
Ghost Hunters.
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
Ghost Hunters – Part II.
"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
