There were many people watching the one-sided fight, yet none of them made a move to stop it or interfere on behalf of either side, even though some of them might have had cultivation levels above Han Tian.Because they knew very well the consequences. Han Tian was a genius nurtured by the Han Clan. Unlike his younger brother, Han Nian, who was always ostracized, constantly compared to others, and endlessly humiliated—even by his own clan.Han Tian said, “This is a warning. Do not repeat it again.” After feeling satisfied with his handiwork, he stepped away from the market under the gaze of many onlookers and headed back to the Han Clan.Upon arriving at the Han Clan, Han Tian immediately searched for his younger brother.“Little Brother, how are your injuries?” He examined the parts hidden beneath Han Nian’s clothes. Earlier, he had only noticed the swelling on his face. Now, seeing the bruises covering his younger brother’s body, he felt pity. He immediately handed him a healing pil

Whoosh!Splash!A tremendous impact, like a hammer descending from great height, struck the calm water. Waves surged outward, sweeping toward the shore.The wolves looked down, but none dared to jump after Han Nian. Their survival instincts told them clearly—there was no life awaiting anyone who leaped.After that, the pack of young wolves ran off.Meanwhile, Han Nian was hanging onto a massive root midway down the cliff. He had managed to grab it and stop his fall. What had plunged earlier was merely the rock that had briefly served as his foothold.“Am I really going to die?” He felt regret—not regret for leaving, but regret that he would not be able to see his parents and his older brother again.His hands were already aching terribly; his grip on the root was nearly slipping. No hope remained in his heart. The shadow of death was drawing near, as if a giant hand were pulling him downward. It was as though ghostly voices whispered that his life was useless and that he might as well

Han Nian slowly stepped toward the edge of the pool.The closer he stood, the more clearly the pure energy pressed against his skin. The surface of the pale white water appeared calm, yet the thin mist rising from it was like the breath of an ancient creature.He crouched down.The moment his divine consciousness touched the surface of the liquid, information instantly appeared in his mind, as if someone were reciting an ancient scripture directly into his soul.“Ten-thousand-year stalactite milk…” he murmured softly.His eyes widened slightly.This liquid was formed from drops of the earth’s core essence that crystallized over thousands of years within spiritual caves. Through an extremely long process, the essence of heaven and earth fused within it until it became a high-level purification liquid.“It cleanses bone marrow… expands meridians… increases energy purity…”The information continued to flow.It was even stated that if mixed as an additional ingredient in pill formulas, it

Han Nian stood at the edge of the pool that had turned black, then shifted his gaze to the other side of the cave.There, several other natural pools still remained. Their water was chalk-white. Pure energy continued to rise slowly, indicating that the reserves of the ten-thousand-year stalactite milk had not yet been touched.Han Nian stared at them for quite a while.If he absorbed all of it, it was entirely possible that Silver Dragon Bones would be achieved immediately.But in the end, he slowly shook his head. “No.” His voice was firm. “Father… Mother… and Brother Han Tian need it too.”He remembered the faces of his parents who had worked tirelessly for the family. He also remembered Han Tian, who had always stood in front of him when they were young.Even a single drop of stalactite milk was extraordinarily valuable. Let alone an entire pool.“I’ll give part of it to them. The rest can be sold in exchange for cultivation resources.”His gaze sharpened. “The road ahead is still

Han Nian walked along the main road until he arrived at a large three-story restaurant.The building was magnificent, with polished red wooden pillars and lanterns hanging at every corner. On the signboard in front, it read: Kaganangan Restaurant. He entered with calm steps. The attendants greeted him warmly and invited him in.Inside, the atmosphere was bustling. The aroma of food mingled with the conversations of the guests. Several cultivators sat together, discussing hunts or the prices of elixirs.Han Nian chose a table in the corner nearest the window. From there, he could observe both the interior and exterior activities simultaneously.A female attendant approached. “What would you like to order, young sir?”Han Nian smiled lightly. “I wish to meet the owner of this Kaganangan Restaurant.”The attendant paused for a moment. Her gaze appraised him from head to toe. Handsome face. Simple clothes. Aura… ordinary, because it had been suppressed.“May I ask the purpose of your visi
