Chapter 12
“Hey...wait up!” Scarlett shouted, jogging after Rain who had already stepped out of the sect gate.He didn’t look back.“Do you even know how much a horse costs?” she yelled louder, trying to match his pace. “It’s over a hundred gold coins for just one! Are you sure you can even afford it?”Rain didn’t slow down. “Let’s go. You’ll find out when we get there.”Scarlett groaned. “Ugh! Are you some kind of rich young master or what?”No answer.As expected, Rain's responses were cold, short, and stiff. But Scarlett wasn’t about to give up. He was the only one who talked to her aside from a few elders and the Sect Master. She wasn’t letting that go.After all, her reputation had turned her into a plague.She wasn’t born cursed. In fact, her body constitution was considered one in ten thousand, legendary, desirable even. But the moment the truth came out, it ruined her.Her Yin Body wasn’t ordinary.Anyone who cultivated with her would have their energy drained to the point of death. One
Chapter 11: The Mission Begins
“Really?” The girl’s eyes lit up like fireworks the moment Rain gave his nod.“Yeah,” he muttered, voice flat. “Doesn’t seem like I’ve got much of a choice.”He turned toward the elder’s counter without waiting for a response.“What’s your name?” she called, trailing after him.“I’m Scarlett,” she added quickly, before he could say anything.Rain paused mid-step and turned, gaze dragging over her like he was scanning a puzzle he didn’t ask to solve. “Rain,” he said simply.He didn’t like talkers. Didn’t trust people who filled silence just because they couldn’t stand it. And if he had any better options, he wouldn’t have picked her but she was the only one who asked, and that said something.They reached the counter where an elder sat hunched, all beard and wrinkles and a face that looked carved from old stone. The man barely looked up.“I’d like to accept this mission,” Rain said, placing the scroll on the table.The elder’s voice was gravel. “You got a teammate?”Rain nodded toward
CHAPTER 10
(A Week Later)Seconds turned into minutes, minutes into hours, hours into daysIt had been a week since Rain entered seclusion, drowning himself in cultivation, completely detached from the outside world, focused on one thing, shattering and reforging his Dantian again and againEach destruction was harder than the last, each reconstruction more demanding, and more violent but now, finally, he had succeeded in breaking through the ninth and final layer and now, he was reforging itRebuilding it into what it was always meant to becomeA terrifying energy fluctuation surged from him, the air thick with Qi, spiritual essence from over five hundred meters away tore through the sky, pulled by an invisible force straight into his bodyRain’s presence had become a void, a black hole absorbing everything without mercy, insatiable and unstoppableCommotion erupted around the dorm, disciples startled, some frozen at their thresholds, sensing the pull, but none of them dared to come close, none
CHAPTER 9
Rain soon arrived at his small apartment inside the sect.He pushed open the creaky wooden door, and a familiar wave of dust and stale air greeted him. The room was dim, the window barely allowing any light in, and the floor was cluttered with scrolls, broken bowls, and torn fabric. Still, he didn't spare it a second glance.None of that mattered now.Now was the time to turn this broken, mocked body into something terrifying.Dragging an enormous iron bath bowl from the toilet, Rain placed it near the center of the room. He moved with sharp, deliberate efficiency. Then, he lit a fire beneath the bowl, boiling a pot of water until the steam rose in thick clouds, curling into the ceiling like ghostly snakes.He stared at it.“This is just literally cooking myself alive,” he muttered, but his voice held no humor.Without hesitation, he picked up the large bag of dried herbs he’d purchased and dumped it into the boiling water. A thick hiss followed. Then came the small pouch, the one Jas
CHAPTER 8
Hearing the voice, Rain stopped in his tracks and turned, coming face to face with a figure about the same age. Behind him were two other chubby fools, clearly his lackeys. His gaze dropped to their robes and lingered on the emblem marked boldly on their chest.Wasn’t that the crest of the Pure Yang Sect? The rivals of the Glory Dome Sect?Rain narrowed his eyes.The rivalry between both sects was no secret. One specialized in dual cultivation. The other... Pure Yang was an all-male sect that trained under the Extreme Yang Technique, which turned its disciples into mindless, overbearing dogs.Their attacks were brutal and their words worse.To them, dual cultivation was a shortcut. Trash. Anyone who practiced it deserved no respect.Rain folded his arms, eyes cool. “What do you want?”“Hand over that sack of herbs and we might let you leave in one piece. You trash from a pig sect,” one of the fat boys sneered, stepping forward and reaching like he owned the world.From the distance, C
CHAPTER 7
The instant Rain’s words dropped, the air shifted and a blur of motion sliced through the street like a shadow without weight, it was fast, too fast actually. Rain barely caught the flicker before a figure landed on one knee before him, head bowed, movements smooth and reverent.“Young master,” came the low, respectful voice.Rain’s eyes narrowed.His posture remained calm, hands still behind his back, but every muscle in his body was alert.“You are?” His voice was neutral, but there was a steel edge behind it. No warmth or familiarity.The figure slowly raised his head.“It’s me, Chen.”The moment Rain saw the man’s face, something clicked. Another surge of foreign memories unraveled in his mind, flooding his awareness and his jaw tightened slightly.Chen.Bodyguard. Shadow. One of the most loyal blades of Rain’s father.Powerful, silent and obedient.Always watching.He had no idea what realm Chen had reached but even in his fragmented memories, Chen’s presence had always radiated
