Ten Ghosts of Hunger.
Meanwhile...Still waiting on the deserted road in the middle of Tanxiang Forest, the faces of fighters Yun and Akai looked grim, crushed by despair.Meanwhile, the old coachman they called Old Yan was equally gloomy, the three of them sitting crouched at the edge of a quiet road surrounded by dense pine trees."Shouldn't we catch up with little brother?" asked Akai, his voice full of worry. His facial expression showed deep anxiety, his piercing eyes staring at the dark and mysterious forest."Right, Mr. Yun. Shouldn't the two of you catch up with little brother Guo? He's been gone for over five hours, and there's no sign of him!" the voice of Old Yan, the coachman, was no less agitated.His graying head looked even more disheveled, and his hand gripping his staff trembled slightly, reflecting his deep anxiety.After going through two life-and-death events, and receiving precious help from Eadric Rong, he felt in his heart that the boy was like a part of his family. Naturally, his cu

Lengyang City.
The two hurriedly bowed quickly, then cupped their fists in front of their chests as a sign of respect, and bowed deeply."Don't dare, don't dare at all to doubt Swordsman Guo's words..." they replied in a respectful and reluctant tone.As they bowed in salute, they thought of the moment when they saw Eadric Rong's body lightening ability.Both fighters suddenly realized how deep their skill gaps were compared to Eadric Rong.They feel small, even though they called Eadric Rong little brother before.Now, although Eadric Rong was still young, the nickname 'Swordsman' for Eadric Rong felt very appropriate, in accordance with the rules of the Martial Art World world."What?" Eadric Rong's laughter exploded instantly.With eyes full of amusement, Eadric Rong simply laughed at the sudden change in attitude of the two fighters.Waving his hand gently, he said, "Ah, never mind. There's no need to exaggerate. Just call me Little Guo like before, no need to call me Swordsman!"The faces of bo

Lengyang Branch Lucky Koi.
Hearing the name Lucky Koi Pavilion mentioned, the faces of the two fighters changed, looking surprised.The pavilion was renowned as one of the most elite and influential institutions in the city, a gathering place for renowned experts and cultivators.Cautiously, fighter Yun asked, "Brother Guo... forgive me the presumptuousness of asking. What is your relationship with the Lucky Koi Pavilion?"Seeing that the two fighters seemed reluctant about the Lucky Koi name, Eadric Rong quickly concocted something to keep them from getting suspicious.He realized the importance of keeping his secret, especially in his current injured state."Ah... Lucky Koi Pavilion? Incidentally, when I was in Hanjiang City, my friend Du Fu told me about this Fortune Pavilion. So, with a little Talisman-making ability, I was thinking of applying for a job there," Eadric Rong concluded, trying to hide the false story behind his smile.Hearing Eadric Rong's explanation, the two fighters hurriedly cupped their

Excitement in the Lobby.
In the talisman crisis-ridden Lengyang City, the need for these items is urgent. The city, known for its many sects and martial arts academies, relies heavily on talismans to protect and strengthen its warriors on the battlefield.Some time ago, Li Shangyin, the leader of the Lucky Koi Hall, traveled to the Central Plains.This trip was not considered special at first.However, word spread quickly that the purpose of the trip was to search for a talisman master to be employed at the Koi Hall of Fortune. The rumor caused quite a stir among the competing pavilions.The Peacock Pavilion, as the main competitor of the Lucky Koi Hall, naturally did not remain silent. In a swift and secretive move, the authorities of the Peacock Pavilion also traveled to the Central Plains to recruit a talisman master who was considered highly competent."We can't be outpaced by the Fortune Koi Hall party! Let them know who we are!" said Shu Wei, the leader of the Peacock Pavilion, to his members in a firm

The Commotion in the Lobby - Part I.
Seeing this, guests who were shopping or just looking around in the lobby, of course, became frightened."What happened?" asked one of the guests with a pale face. "Is it safe?" whispered another in a worried tone. "Let's go! I don't want us to die for nothing here when the battle breaks out!" the others exclaimed, starting to panic.The visitors who had filled the lobby of the Lucky Koi Hall began to feel a deep sense of unease."Why wait here! This place is no longer safe!" someone exclaimed in a panicked tone."That's right... let's go and shop somewhere else. Not at a place frequented by bouncers!" the others chimed in quickly.With tensions running high, many visitors chose to leave the scene, avoiding a potential showdown that could lead to chaos and bloodshed.They crowded towards the exit, leaving the lobby increasingly filled with a suffocating aura of tension.In his study, Li Shangyin heard the increasing commotion outside. The noise made him frown, and he immediately calle

The Commotion in the Lobby - Part Two.
However, the suffocating tension was broken by someone's dominant voice echoing in the room."Mr. Li Shangyin... I will resign and decide not to cooperate with the Lucky Koi Hall anymore!"A man stepped forward confidently, wearing a gray tunic covered by a gray robe with yin and yang symbols. His steps were calm yet assertive, making every eye in the lobby fall on him."Talisman Master - Duan Jiexin!" exclaimed Li Shangyin, shocked and angry. "What's going on? Why are you carrying all your things? Do you intend to leave here?"Li Shangyin's face turned tense, his expression showing deep worry as he stared at Duan Jiexin who was walking while carrying his luggage in a large cloth.Duan Jiexin stepped up with a highly martial cultivator standing beside him.Duan Jiexin looked like he was trying to stay calm, as if he was not tense and affected by the pressure.With a tone of voice that seemed stuttered yet firm, the talisman master revealed his decision that made Li Shangyin's face tur

Daily Life as a Talisman Master.
From that day on, Eadric Rong officially worked as a Talisman Master in the Koi Hall of Fortune.However, he kept his true identity as a Protector of the Hall a secret, with some careful consideration. "If I tell them that I have the status of a Protector of the Hall, there are two possibilities!""The first possibility is that the imperial party might check the Three Sanctities Temple in Tangye City and conclude that I, this young man, am the Black Bat King," Eadric Rong muttered, carefully writing symbols and spells on the talisman paper.As a Talisman Master, Eadric Rong was given his own study. It was quite spacious, filled with wall hangings symbolizing the Tao - Yin and Yang, as well as magical calligraphic sentences."The second possibility is, it's possible that the Fortune Koi Hall in Daqi Capital has been feeling strange over my disappearance. This could be attributed to the Bat King, so the possible conjecture that I am the Black Bat King could create a stir!"Eadric Rong's

Daily Life as a Talisman Master – Part II.
With a flushed face, Eadric Rong rebuked Li Shangyin who could only remain silent."Or you can go to the central plains, and recruit another Talisman Master who has a spiritual level far above me, even above that Master Duan!" exclaimed Eadric Rong in a challenging tone. This made his blood boil every time Li Shangyin criticized.Hearing Eadric Rong's loud yell, Li Shangyin would normally run away, his face flushed with suppressed rage as he grumbled to himself."That kaparat boy is really arrogant. He knows we need him. We'll see what happens in the future. If I get a Talisman Master who's better than him, I'll kick him out myself!"However, Li Shangyin's threats and diatribes never came true.Searching for a Talisman Master with high abilities was like looking for a needle in a haystack. Every time he tried to find a replacement, reality slapped him back; Eadric Rong was irreplaceable.The need for Eadric Rong's expertise kept him in a position of strength, even though their relatio

Level Four Curious Ghost.
Tanxiang Forest is a notoriously haunted place, an area that is a scourge to many.Night in this forest is the scariest time, with pitch darkness and strange voices whispering through the trees. Very few people dare to pass through this forest at night.Even if they did, they were mostly from the Martial Art World, people who had the basics of spiritual power and martial skills.The high-level curious ghosts that inhabit this forest often possess martial arts attack abilities of unfathomable strength, so only fighters of a certain level dare to test their mettle in Tanxiang Forest.That night, as the clock struck the first bell, a horse-drawn carriage could be seen crossing the rocky and muddy roads of Tanxiang Forest.The wheels of the carriage creaked on the small, slippery stones, creating a sound that echoed in the silence of the night. The charioteer, wearing a hemp hat, sat at the front of the carriage, his face hidden in the shadow of the hat, but if you looked closely, he seem

Level Four Curious Ghost – Part II.
When it reached a certain point, the talisman stopped and stuck to the pine trunk. The soft glow of the intricate symbols and runes on it lit up before suddenly exploding with a loud noise, shaking the surrounding air and causing the pine tree to fall in a resounding boom.DUAR!Along with the sound of thunderous explosions and falling pine trees, a shadowy figure floated down from high above. The figure wore a long white dress that trembled gently in the night breeze, and its feet treaded the ground with an impression."Very good... You've been stalking me, haven't you? I wonder... aren't you the one who has consumed all the curious ghosts in Tanxiang Forest tonight? Leaving none for me?" Eadric Rong looked sharply at the ghost before him, his eyes narrowed with suspicion.The ghost wore a long white dress that was weathered and stained, splattered with dirt from the roads she had traveled. Her skin was as white as ice, standing out in the thick darkness of the night. Her face was va
