Yi Zan smiled sweetly in front of Yuan Fen, her cheeks were dice red in color, making anyone want to pinch those dice red cheeks. Yuan Fen thought about teasing Yi Zan, but he didn't dare. The girl was quite fierce.

"Please," his hand extended towards Yuan Fen, handing over a token with the Cloud Sword Sect logo.

"Inside this token are 15 contribution points. Nine points are your wages, and the rest are bonuses for helping me avoid the lightning in the Fairy Cliff Forest."

"Actually, this amount is too little for your service in saving me from a lightning strike," Yi Zan said.

Yuan Fen was overjoyed when he received the contribution point token.

"Big brother, I hope that within the next two months, you will successfully reach the Five Mortal Realms. Although shifting the Cultivation realm from Mortal Realm Four to Mortal Realm Five is not an easy thing, I believe, with the intelligence you have, in two months you will be able to shift to Mortal Realm Five realm," Yi Zan said.

"I hope so too, but let time give you a chance. If fate permits, I hope to participate in Cloud Sword Sect's recruitment of new disciples," Yuan Fen replied.

"Alright, let's practice. There's something I want to explain to you, worker brother," Yi Zan pulled Yuan Fen's hand, leading him to the mini forest area behind the sect's settlement. Although different from the Fairy Cliff Forest, this mini forest was a quiet place where some of the sect disciples practiced battle techniques.

Arriving at the mini forest, Yi Zan directly drew his sword and said, "Behold the results of my observations and comprehension. These are the fruits I managed to pick by observing that rainy night battle. "

The girl instantly demonstrated a sword technique similar to the Snow Lotus Pure Heart Sword Technique. Her body spun like a top, leaping beautifully into the air, there was a stream of sword qi that she shot towards the tree 50 meters ahead.

The goat-sized tree was instantly torn apart.

"Too bad I can only remember those 7 Elf moves. It's too difficult to remember and perform Earth Trenta ranked sword moves," Yi Zan lamented afterward.

"However, the two of us are very lucky. We were able to witness such an exclusive class battle and moreover, there are many benefits and experiences to be gained," Yi Zan tried to console himself.

"Especially now, as you can see, worker brother, myself is able to execute a sword fighting technique that is somewhat similar to that Elven science," Yi Zan said.

Yuan Fen said. "What if I were to say that I can comprehend and perform that Elf-owned battle technique completely? The Sword Technique called Snow Lotus Pure Heart," Yuan Fen said.

"Really? Try demonstrating, big brother worker." Yi Zan looked enthusiastic.

"Watch carefully!"

Yuan Fen demonstrated the Earth rank sword sequence gently, but dangerously. Yuan Fen's performance seemed to give Yi Zan the impression of seeing Elf Suma Chen demonstrate the sword sequence himself.

"I want to see, how many moves can this brother make with this difficult sword technique."

"Er... okay, he has reached the 7th step. Surely he will stop and cannot proceed to the 8th sword position and so on," Yi Zan thought. However, what was expected was something different.

"8th sword strike, 9th sword strike!" and so on Yuan Fen performed the Snow Lotus Pure Heart Sword Move.

"9th sword strike... and finished for the 17th sword strike." Yuan Fen stood upright with his hands pointing straight ahead, holding the sword borrowed from Yi Zan.

"Too bad, I don't have enough Qi energy yet. Perhaps if I had entered the 5th Mortal Realm, I think I would have been able to flow Qi into the sword and cause more harmful effects," Yuan Fen regretted to himself.

"What's wrong with you, big brother worker? What you did before was an Earth rank Sword art, even that Trenta. I saw it as if Suma Chen himself was standing in front of me earlier and demonstrating a sword stroke. And what I didn't expect at all, you even completed all the 17th move of that sword technique," praised Yi Zan, too amazed by Yuan Fen's current abilities.

"I got to thinking, if big brother worker doesn't mind, can big brother teach me this sword technique until the 17th move? Of course I will compensate you. I intend to exchange Cultivation techniques with you," Yi Zan said.

"What!" What technique is that? I don't mind teaching you the Elf Sword Technique at all. No need to exchange techniques, even I am willing to teach you, little miss," Yuan Fen smiled lightly at Yi Zan.

"I insist!" Yi Zan said to Yuan Fen.

"If that's the case, then let's barter," Yuan Fen said.

Yuan Fen then went back to demonstrating the 17 Snow Lotus Pure Heart Sword techniques. Then he instructed Yi Zan to repeat all his moves until he completed the 17th step.

An hour had passed, as time was spent teaching the rest of the 8th to 17th Techniques to Yi Zan. Although Yi Zan could not perform all the techniques well, the girl was quite satisfied. That was because she had memorized all the moves, namely the 8th to 17th stance.

"Alright, now it is my turn to teach you my techniques. First of all, you should try to see and lift a fist-sized stone 10 meters ahead," Yi Zan instructed Yuan Fen.

"Do that by only thinking that the stone will be lifted, and that is the command you issue from your heart and mind. First of all, your mind must be clear, fully concentrated, and then your mind gives instructions with a determined heart that the stone must be lifted." Yi Zan instructed Yuan Fen.

An hour later, Yuan Fen successfully lifted the half-meter stone off the ground for 10 seconds. Yi Zan cheered with joy at Yuan Fen's results.

"Do you know, worker brother? Out of 100,000 people, only one person can cultivate mental energy and lift a stone like you did. Even if that person doesn't have a mental master to guide him, his mental energy ability won't increase in his body."

Yuan Fen couldn't believe it. His mouth open, he gaped. He thought, isn't it too much to say that this ability is rare, only one in 100,000 people? But when Yi Zan explained the facts further, Yuan Fen couldn't help but believe it.

"That's why there are too few Symbol Masters in various regions. Because of that, the symbol master always gets priority and honor wherever he visits. People desperately need symbol masters to make talismans for battle or war. And those talismans will be sold at a very high price," Yi Zan explained.

"Not to mention writing spells on weapons and armor to enhance their combat abilities. All of that can only be done by symbol masters. Of course, there is a cost and it is not cheap. Hence, the life of a symbol master is never short of materials," Yi Zan concluded.

"In 3 days, I will come back and see if you have been able to keep the stone raised and stationary for 10 minutes in the air. Once you've done that, I'll teach you the techniques of writing talismans and writing inscriptions," Yi Zan explained.

"It's getting late, so I'll be leaving. See you in three days. Please practice your mental energy while I teach you," Yi Zan waved and left the mini forest.

Meanwhile, Yuan Fen hurried back to the hut where he lived. He couldn't wait to practice mental energy. Wouldn't it be a blessing and a fortune if he could become a symbol master as Yi Zan had told him? But did a poor, working disciple like him have a chance of realizing his dream of becoming a cultivator, let alone a symbol master?

  • The Fey Leader’s Indifference and Hidden Wealth.

    Guo Jiang and the others entered through the tall, beautifully carved doorway, each stone bearing the mark of master craftsmen. As they got closer to the cave entrance, the sound of metal clanging and rocks colliding became deafening, echoing through the crystalline corridors like the music of the gods themselves."What is this?" whispered Guo Jiang, peering into the cave with growing amazement. His voice barely carried over the mystical sounds that filled the air like a symphony of precious stones.He fell silent, stiff and speechless as understanding dawned upon him. The sight within defied all his expectations and experience, challenging his understanding of wealth and power.Thodr joined in the curiosity after seeing Guo Jiang freeze, his elvish instincts alert to the wonder and danger that lay ahead.Inside the cave, an artificial cave about the size of a soccer field, an old Fey was bathing in a pool that sparkled like liquid starlight. Every now and then, the old Fey would subm

  • The Ascent to the Sacred Sanctuary.

    Ivien sensed the Enchanter's uneasiness, reading the tension in Guo Jiang's posture like a warrior assessing an opponent's stance. He urged them to hurry to the Leader's residence, understanding that delay could prove catastrophic for both their peoples."The Fey leader lives at the top of the realm, in the highest sanctuary where the air itself is sacred. We can only walk to that high place, following the ancient paths carved by our ancestors' feet.""There is a rule prohibiting flying within this realm, unless you want to die pierced by thousands of arrows!" explained Ivien, his voice carrying the weight of absolute certainty.This made Thodr shiver with a mixture of fear and admiration, his respect for Fey military prowess growing with each revelation. His admiration for the Fey grew even stronger, like flame fed by fresh kindling."The Fey race has many tricks to protect themselves, defensive strategies refined over millennia of survival. One day, in our new home, I will apply the

  • Nightfall Respite and the Weight of Duty.

    Night was approaching, and their work was done like a sacred ritual finally completed. The four of them lay in the realm hall, all exhausted but satisfied with their life-saving efforts, their bodies spread across the crystalline floor like fallen warriors after a victorious battle."I want to sleep for a while, to restore my qi and prepare for tomorrow's challenges." said Ivien, closing his eyes with the weariness of one who had carried the weight of his people's suffering."Tomorrow I will take you to the place where the Fey Leader, Lord Gordonance, lives in his sacred sanctuary." He rolled over and hugged Milla without shame, his protective embrace natural as breathing.It was said that this was to reduce the extreme cold, though their love needed no excuse for such tender displays. Thodr, of course, blushed at the intimacy like a maiden seeing her first kiss, his elvish sensibilities overwhelmed by such open affection.He looked away, his pointed ears burning red as roses in sprin

  • The Curse of Silver Valley and the Fey’s Plight.

    Even though they were inside a realm called Silver Valley, that didn't mean that the eternal cold of the outside world wasn't felt inside the mystical sanctuary. The cold was still present, seeping through their bones like invisible daggers, as were gusts of freezing wind that seemed capable of penetrating anyone's flesh down to their very soul."You've been living at high altitudes with low oxygen levels for too long, breathing air as thin as spider silk." said Guo Jiang from where he was sitting in a room resembling a hall, his dark robes spreading around him like the wings of a raven.His weathered hands gestured toward the crystalline walls that pulsed with inner light. "That's why the oxygen levels in your blood are so low, creating a weakness that your enemies could exploit."Ivien nodded and listened carefully to the Enchanter's explanation, his gray eyes reflecting the wisdom of ancient bloodlines. The young Fey leader's muscular frame remained perfectly still, like a statue c

  • Crossing the Mithryl Bridge.

    Once satisfied, the elf climbed onto the bridge with careful steps. The crystalline surface sang beneath their feet, each footfall creating musical notes that harmonized with the mountain wind in an otherworldly symphony."Are you satisfied with your observations?" Guo Jiang murmured softly, his voice carrying clearly through the thin air. But his voice sounded close to Thodr's ear, as if the Enchanter was whispering directly into his mind through some subtle magical technique."I'm not just amazed by the magic and array technology of the Fey, though their skill surpasses even our greatest artificers." Thodr's voice carried professional respect mixed with competitive determination that burned in his elvish heart."I intend to study the array technique and the materials needed to create such a portal bridge. Someday, we Elves will also build a portal bridge like that!" explained Thodr, a little offended by the implication that he was merely gawking like a tourist.He had always been pr

  • Revelations at Hanging Peak.

    This, of course, made Guo Jiang and Thodr breathe a sigh of relief, their tension evaporating like morning dew. The diplomatic mission that had seemed impossible was suddenly within reach, as if the gods themselves had arranged this fortunate meeting."Let's go meet my father right now," said Ivien, pulling Milla's hand with gentle care. His lover was now stable enough to travel, though she still moved with the careful steps of someone recovering from near-death.Before taking a step, he turned around and said, "But I have to tell you something important." His expression grew serious, the earlier mirth fading like sunset giving way to night."My father also has the same disease as my girlfriend, Milla, the same poison eating away at his life force like acid through metal." His voice carried worry and frustration, the burden of watching loved ones suffer weighing heavily on his broad shoulders."It's not just Milla and my father who have this coughing up blood disease.
