2024-02-05 15:17:25Yi 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?

Gold for Those Who Had None
Guo Jiang stepped out of Prosperity Store and into a busy Jinhung street while customers and nearby workers gathered at a cautious distance. News of the confrontation inside had already spread through the doorway, but most passersby still knew only fragments about broken spears, unconscious soldiers, and a wealthy store owner who had vanished into his private rooms.Guo Jiang did not give them a grand speech. He simply said that Prosperity Store had been selling imitation goods at inflated prices, cheating customers, and using its reputation to protect those practices when challenged.At first, only poorer residents stopped long enough to listen. A few laborers, an old beggar, and several workers from nearby shops watched him with uncertainty, while wealthier passersby treated the gathering as another street disturbance that did not concern them.Guo Jiang opened one storage pouch and released a stream of gold coins into
The Locked Room of Wan Huang
Wan Huang locked the door of his private office and emptied Guo Jiang's gemstone pouch across the desk. Emeralds and sapphires rolled over the polished wood, each stone catching the lamplight with a depth of color that quickened his breathing.He picked up one emerald and turned it between his fingers, no longer pretending to doubt what he had already recognized in public. The clarity, weight, and internal color were unmistakable, and the realization that the pouch contained enough wealth to transform Prosperity Store made his earlier lie seem increasingly profitable."Shangguan Rong could not identify these even when they were placed in his hand," Wan Huang muttered with a contemptuous smile. "A clan surname can open doors, but it does not teach a young master how to appraise treasure."He began calculating how many branches he could open in Jinhung and how much better property he could purchase near the wealthiest comm
Five Spears and Three Broken Faces
Guo Jiang remained beside the staircase while four spear users formed a shallow semicircle around him and the fifth soldier approached with restraints. Shangguan Rong stood several steps above with the attendants, while customers retreated toward counters and walls."Extend your wrists and kneel," the soldier with the restraints ordered. "Owner Wan Huang has accused you of using counterfeit gemstones to defraud Prosperity Store, so you will come with us for questioning."Guo Jiang looked at the four spearheads and then at the man speaking. "Do city soldiers normally arrest someone based only on a merchant's accusation without asking the accused what happened?"One spear user scoffed. "Wan Huang is a respected businessman in Jinhung, and Prosperity Store has operated here for years. Only someone with something to hide would begin arguing about procedure after being caught."Shangguan Rong opened his f
The Merchant Who Chose the Lie
Wan Huang approached the staircase with the smooth courtesy of a merchant accustomed to adjusting his posture according to the status of the customer before him. He bowed first to Shangguan Rong and barely acknowledged Guo Jiang, making his priorities clear before asking what service the Shangguan young master required."Owner Wan, inspect these stones," Shangguan Rong said as he handed over the pouch. "This man claims he can pay for the second floor, and everyone here has agreed that your judgment will settle the matter."Wan Huang accepted the pouch with both hands, and the instant the weight settled into his palms he knew the dispute was more dangerous than the room realized. He studied one emerald against the lamp, then examined a sapphire with the efficient movements of an experienced gem merchant.He tested one edge gently against a small appraisal plate carried by the store and stopped after seeing the resistance.
A Bag No One Dared to Price
Guo Jiang drew a large pouch from his spatial ring and held it in one hand without immediately emptying its contents. The bag looked ordinary, but the weight dragged against the fabric enough that several merchants near the staircase stopped laughing before he loosened the cord.A deep green gleam appeared first, followed by the colder blue of sapphires catching the store lamps. Guo Jiang opened the pouch only enough for the people nearest him to see several thumb-sized stones with rich color and unusual clarity resting against one another inside.The reaction spread unevenly through the first floor because not everyone knew what they were seeing. A wealthy young customer scoffed and said imitation gemstones could be polished to look impressive, while an older trader narrowed his eyes and leaned forward without speaking.Another merchant who had laughed earlier stopped at once. He had handled enough cargo to recognize th
The Young Master on the Fifth Step
Guo Jiang remained beside the first stair while the attendant stood in front of him with the confidence of someone protected by the name of Prosperity Store. Several customers were still laughing, and the attendant seemed to enjoy the attention because each amused glance made his borrowed authority feel more solid.Before Guo Jiang could answer, the front doors opened and the mood of the first floor changed almost at once. A young man entered wearing expensive silk with gold-trimmed hems, embroidered shoes, and a conspicuous ornament fastening his high-tied hair, while a folding fan rested loosely in one hand.The staff recognized him immediately as Shangguan Rong of the Shangguan Clan, one of the influential families in Jinhung City. An attendant abandoned another customer in the middle of explaining a robe price and hurried over with a bow, while two other employees straightened their backs and adjusted their smiles before approaching.
