Lian Yue looked at Long Tian with a gentle smile. “Tian'er, there is something you need to know. For now, according to the sect's rules, you are not yet allowed to practice martial arts. So even though you have already become Elder Xuan's disciple, don't rush to learn techniques or cultivate your inner energy before the proper time.”Long Tian nodded calmly. Hearing those words immediately brought back memories from his previous life. He still remembered the rules of Thousand Sword Mountain regarding the classification of disciples. The sect divided its disciples into two main categories. The first category consisted of disciples from within the sect, namely children who were descendants of sect members. They had received various nutrients and body conditioning from a young age, so their bodies were considered sufficiently prepared to begin martial arts training. Therefore, they were allowed to start training when they reached the age of five.The second category consisted of disciple

According to the records in the Dragon God Scripture, the bones within the human body could be divided into three major levels: Wolf Bone, Tiger Bone, and Dragon Bone. However, each level had its own subdivisions.Wolf Bone was the most basic level and was divided into three types: Yellow Wolf Bone, Black Wolf Bone, and Wind Wolf Bone. After passing through the Wolf Bone stage, one could attempt to strengthen their bones further and reach the Tiger Bone level, which was also divided into three stages: Young Tiger Bone, Fierce Tiger Bone, and the highest level of this class, Iron Tiger Bone.Dragon Bone, meanwhile, was a much higher level. It was divided into four stages: Young Dragon Bone, Earth Dragon Bone, Heavenly Dragon Bone, and its pinnacle, Dragon God Bone.In his previous life, when Long Tian reached the age of seventy, he had only managed to possess Wind Wolf Bone. However, after obtaining the Dragon God Scripture and undergoing much harsher training, he eventually managed to

“If you don't want to answer, that's fine,” the old man finally said after seeing Long Tian remain silent. His tone was not forceful. “However, this place isn't safe for a child like you. Come with me. At least we can talk somewhere more comfortable.”Long Tian was still standing stiffly beside the fire, his body trembling because he had spent too long in the water.The old man noticed his condition and walked closer. Without saying much, he patted Long Tian on the shoulder. Instantly, warmth spread from his palm throughout Long Tian's body. The bone-piercing cold gradually disappeared. Long Tian was shocked by the old man's ability. With just a single pat, his body, which had nearly frozen, became warm again.“Thank you, Senior,” Long Tian finally said.“Now, can you talk?”Long Tian took a deep breath. He felt that it was impossible to keep avoiding the question.“My name is Long Tian.”The old man nodded with a smile.“Long Tian. That's a good name.”He observed Long Tian from head

After returning to Bamboo Villa, Long Tian immediately entered through the secret passage he had used earlier. He made sure that no one saw him before closing the passage again.He then sat inside his room and sighed.“Every step I take could affect the future.”Long Tian stared at his own hands.That was why he was always careful. One of the reasons he rarely spoke with people in the sect was because he did not want to change history too drastically. He knew many events that would happen in the future, but that did not mean he had to interfere with all of them.His goal was simple.Become stronger.“However, a new problem has appeared.”Long Tian frowned.His encounter with Kun Jiang was clearly outside his plans. He had never even remembered there being a chess table near the Jade Grass River in his previous life.“If the Sect Master keeps coming there, my plan to monopolize the Water Ginseng could be disrupted.”Long Tian sighed.However, thinking about it now would not solve the p

“Actually, my mind isn't at ease today,” he said seriously. “There are many problems I have to deal with in the sect. Several elders are arguing over the distribution of resources, and there are also some unfinished missions that need to be handled. All of that has kept my mind from being completely focused on the chessboard. So, you only managed to win today because of luck.”Kun Jiang said it with such a serious expression that he seemed to genuinely believe his excuse made perfect sense.Hu Dang, sitting across from him, immediately chuckled.“Old Kun, a loss is a loss. Stop making excuses every time you lose to me.” He raised his chin with a smug expression. “Now you're saying I only won because of luck? Don't talk nonsense. If your mind was really distracted, you shouldn't have challenged me to a game in the first place.”Kun Jiang's expression immediately darkened slightly. “Who said I'm making excuses?”“Didn't you just say your mind wasn't at ease?”“That is simply the truth.”
