However, the high cost of living in the capital, coupled with the responsibility of sending money every month to his poor family in the village, meant that Chen Yu had to live super frugally.As an apprentice who has only been working for three months, Chen Yu always gets customers from the lower class.All the high-profile customers had been gobbled up by his seniors. His job as a salesman was commission-based, which meant he was living on the edge and had very little money.If customers do not tip, and sales bonuses are not achieved because Chen Yu's monthly sales target is not reached.Not to mention, in the past two months, Chen Yu has not managed to book any sales.Almost all the customers of Koi Fortune Hall, those who come are rich people who are immediately welcomed by their senior colleagues.He was not given the freedom to serve the upper class at all. Today, however, he felt very fortunate to have the opportunity to serve a Taoist Priest, as none of his colleagues were will
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Relatives of the State Teacher?
Wang Lingyun, a dazzling eighteen-year-old girl, is a respected disciple of the Silver Moon Sect.She held a high status within the white sect, as she was said to be related to Wriston Imperial State Master Yang Zengthian.With her status as a relative of the State Master, Wang Lingyun's life in the Silver Moon Sect was extremely easy.She was often provided with various abundant resources, such as cultivation-enhancing herbs, pills, and medicines, from representatives of the Silver Moon Sect.Hence, despite her young age, she was already at the peak early-level Golden Peacock Swordsman realm. In fact, before long, this Wang Lingyun would break through to the mid-level Golden Peacock Swordsman realm.Meanwhile, Li Yunfeng, an eighteen-year-old youth, always followed Wang Lingyun wherever she went.Their relationship was nothing more than that between a princess and a servant, as Li Yunfeng was always getting his supply of resources from Wang Lingyun.His sacrifice of always faithfully

Wang Lingyun's face turned bright red, feeling as if she was slapped by the Taoist's confident words, "I want to buy this sword."Without thinking, Wang Lingyun instantly snatched the young Taoist's boastful words and asked him to put the Dragon & Phoenix Sword back in place."Hold on!" she shouted, breaking the silence. The Taoist was confused and gave her a strange look."I'm warning you. As a Daoist whose only job is to beg for alms, you'd better put those Dragon and Phoenix swords back where they belong.""That Fengren rank sword is already mine!" said Wang Lingyun in a stern tone.Wang Lingyun instantly stood in the way of the young Taoist and presumptuously snatched the Dragon and Phoenix swords from the Taoist's hands."Give it back!" she scolded.In fact, her actions were nothing more than to cover up the embarrassment of not being able to afford a sword.However, to Wang Lingyun's surprise, the Dragon and Phoenix Sword, as if embedded in a boulder, had become so fused that sh

The head guard, a thirty-year-old man who had cultivated in the Jade Tiger Swordsman realm, shouted loudly. His voice echoed throughout the room, making everyone fall silent, full of menace.Eadric Rong, who was just about to give an explanation of what happened, stopped when Wang Lingyun in a sly manner immediately shouted loudly."He started it first! That Taoist intends to take a sword on display that shouldn't be seen in person, under the pretense that he's going to buy it!""Anyone knows that he's just a poor little priest who lives on alms from others!"The head guard then looked away and stared at Eadric Rong with a displeased look.There is a written rule in the Lucky Koi Hall that the displays on the 3rd floor are not to be touched or hand-held.Unless the customer really intends to buy it. Taking advantage of this rule, Wang Lingyun slandered Eadric Rong.In fact, she was the one who already held the Phoenix Dragon Sword but did not buy it because she did not have the money.
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Dragon and Phoenix Sword - Part I.
The two Silver Moon Sect disciples, Wang Lingyun and Li Yunfeng, felt their faces turn red instantly.Ever since their first encounter with Eadric Rong on the third floor, they had denigrated his reputation, even insulting him as a poor, begging Priest.However, to their surprise, the poor priest was able to pay for the expensive Phoenix Dragon Sword and even gave Chen Yu, the salesperson he thought had served him well, a tip of 10 gold taels.Wang Lingyun and Li Yunfeng could now only remain silent with clumsy expressions, faces bright red and full of shame.Meanwhile, the crowd of people who had previously gathered with the intention of making fun of Eadric Rong were now speechless.Suddenly, there were graceful footsteps coming from inside the room, the Hall of Fortunate Koi. A female figure appeared, walking elegantly like an angel, drawing all eyes toward her.Her appearance resembled that of a noble maiden. She wore a white silk dress paired with green.Tusuk Konde and various g

Eadric Rong deliberately mentioned her name, Miss Murong Lin, because he had heard the whispers from the crowd.This greatly made Murong Lin's face glow brighter. From within the storage on her sleeve, she took out a shimmering platinum-colored token."Dao Shi... The Lucky Koi Hall greatly appreciates your arrival, having spent some money in our humble establishment.""That's why, as the manager of Daqi Branch Hall, we give Dao Shi a platinum membership card.""In the future, if Dao Shi visits Lucky Koi Hall again at any branch, you will benefit from a ten percent discount."Having just spoken up to this point, the atmosphere became boisterous. Whispers ensued, with everyone talking about the little priest who had been bullied and looked down upon as a beggar, but now they were calling Eadric Rong a rich and fortunate little priest.What a hypocrite!"Platinum membership cards are very rarely issued by the Lucky Koi Hall.""Only special, important people from the Palace are treated as
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Eastern Market Noodle Vendor - Part I.
Daqi City, the magnificent capital of the Wriston Empire, was a vast and diverse metropolis.The city is divided into four main regions: North, South, West, and East, each with its own unique characteristics.On the eastern side of Daqi City, away from the bustle of the city center, lies the Moon Orchid Inn.This inn was quite far away from the Lucky Koi Hall, a not-so-famous place, where Eadric Rong chose to stay, somewhat in disguise.At that time, Eadric Rong had just left the Lucky Koi Hall. He looked up and whispered softly."The sky is still clear, and dusk hasn't come yet. Why don't I take a stroll through the Eastern Market, which is also famous for being crowded?"He had a happy smile on his face when he decided to check out the crowds at the East Market.Daqi City is known for having two main bustling centers: West Market and East Market. Coincidentally, Moon Orchid Inn is located not far from the East Market.Therefore, Eadric Rong chose to spend his time there, enjoying th

While carefully stuffing the third mouthful into his mouth, Eadric Rong replied in a calm tone,"The treasure I keep up my sleeve, that's my business. Why are you so curious and ambitious to have it?"At this moment, Eadric Rong raised his face, and he saw the figure standing in front of him. With a sharp gaze, he said silently,"A fighter with cultivation in the late-level Golden Peacock Swordsman realm... no wonder he's so confident!"As we know, a cultivator in the Zircon Tortoise realm freely hides his cultivation realm from other cultivators.This is what made the newly arrived man so confident and intent on looting Eadric Rong, not knowing that his opponent was someone with a cultivation far above his own.In a tone full of contempt, the man said,"Ignorant! Have you never heard of the Undead Villain, from the Hell's Tomb sect? Hand over all the items in your pockets, and this lord will be merciful!"The man with a rough face and a thin, dry posture, who looked as if he was a li

The tune added to the beauty of the twilight they were enjoying. However, the silence was suddenly broken by the loud voice of an Imperial protocol who came with a message."Dragon Priest—Master Tao Guo. Accept the Emperor's command!" the voice sounded stern, carrying an official aura that could not be ignored.Suddenly, the rhythmic beating of traditional music accompanied the footsteps of the Emperor's trusted eunuch who walked into the garden.The long golden scroll that the eunuch carried in his hand symbolized the supreme power of the Empire, as if the Emperor himself were present before them.As soon as the Emperor's command was heard, Eadric Rong and the Crown Prince immediately rose from their seats. Respectfully, they knelt down and bowed their heads deeply, as has been the tradition for centuries.The presence of an Imperial edict is a direct manifestation of the Emperor, and everyone who hears it is obliged to show deep respect, as if the emperor himself were standing befor
Tea and Tension in the Imperial Garden.
Eadric Rong's departure with the Crown Prince left a tense atmosphere in the Golden Dragon Hall. From where he stood, the State Master's face looked grim, showing an expression filled with dissatisfaction.His forehead furrowed sharply, clearly displeased at how Eadric Rong had easily followed the Crown Prince's invitation without considering his presence."Master... what should we do? How could Brother Crown Prince manage to persuade someone from Jianghu to follow his orders?" asked Ninth Prince Su Weizhao in a worried tone.His face looked pale, and his eyes were glazed over, almost like a frightened child."If Priest Guo really is allied with Brother Crown Prince, our position could be further jeopardized! What will happen if he supports my brother in the struggle for the throne?"The anxiety was increasingly evident on Su Weizhao's face. He knew that the presence of a figure as great as Eadric Rong by the Crown Prince’s side could change the power map in the palace.The State Teac
The Magic Show.
The air around him vibrated, forming a pattern perceptible only to those sensitive to spiritual power.REST!Rong Guo hissed softly, his eyes shining sharply, full of concentration. The spiritual energy wave he released now imprisoned the red dragon more tightly, making the magical creature writhe in pain, as if burning from within.The dragon roared, trying to break free from the tightening spiritual prison, but in vain. The harder it struggled, the stronger the spiritual energy Rong Guo channeled became, thickening the illusionary prison that trapped the dragon."DUAR!"The red dragon’s final roar thundered throughout the hall, followed by a tremendous explosion.Unable to resist the power pressing on it, the dragon’s body shattered into pieces, exploding into shards of light that scattered in all directions before vanishing entirely."WUUT!"Suddenly, a peachwood staff appeared in Rong Guo’s hand, as if conjured from thin air.The long red ribbon that had gracefully wrapped the sta
The Strange Dancing Girl.
“Kill that girl! She’s a spy!” another shouted, his voice trembling with fear.State Teacher Xue Yinggui, who had sensed something strange from the start, moved faster than anyone else.In an instant, he stood before the strange girl, blocking her with astonishing speed. His palms opened wide, and from inside his robe, hundreds of silver needles shot out with deadly precision, raining down on the girl’s body.The State Teacher, a cultivator from the Green Valley Sect, was famous for his expertise in secret weapons. Each needle was soaked in deadly poison.In just a moment, the needles struck the girl’s body with perfect precision. She flinched, her eyes wide for a moment before her body collapsed lifelessly to the floor.But the terrifying red dragon... who could stop it? While the Emperor and Empress still seemed entranced, trapped in the girl’s magic, they could only watch helplessly as the illusory dragon floated closer, preparing to open its mouth and unleash a flame ready to engu
Tension in the Golden Dragon Hall – Part II.
It was common knowledge in the palace and throughout the capital that nothing in this land was beyond purchase. Whatever happened behind the scenes quickly became the talk of the town.The incident last night, when Crown Prince Su Qingheng met the Dragon Priest—the number one genius—spread like wildfire throughout the palace.The State Teacher, who was late in approaching Rong Guo, the genius stealing the spotlight, clearly felt humiliated.In his intrigue-filled mind, as someone from the Jianghu (martial world), the State Teacher did not want any Jianghu expert to side with Crown Prince Su Qingheng.However, his negligence in not taking strategic steps to approach Rong Guo made his heart burn hotter.Since last night, his face had been gloomy, as if bearing shame and disappointment.Everyone knew the State Teacher favored Ninth Prince Su Weizhao as the successor to the throne. Naturally, the reason was not far from personal ties.Su Weizhao was his martial arts disciple, and in his e
Tension in the Golden Dragon Hall.
State Teacher Xue Yinggui still appeared vigorous, with a dignified face resembling that of a man in his forties.However, in reality, the State Teacher was nearing seventy years old. Nonetheless, his spirit and sharp eyes still radiated a strength unweathered by age.His steady footsteps echoed through the Golden Dragon Hall as he was the first to enter the room, drawing the attention of everyone present.Every pair of eyes fixed on him, watching every movement and expression. In the silence that followed, the young champions immediately stood and saluted, bowing their heads with sincere respect.Yet, Xue Yinggui seemed undisturbed by all this. His gaze calmly swept across the hall, as if searching for someone. His sharp eyes stopped on the simple figure of the young man, Rong Guo.The Taoist attire worn by Rong Guo added to his calm and modest impression, though a great power was hidden behind his appearance.The State Teacher's gaze seemed piercing, as if trying to penetrate the de
The Hall of the Golden Dragon.
"Hand over your weapons, Master Tao," the warrior leader ordered in a stern tone, halting Eadric Rong's steps.Although Eadric Rong was already recognized as a young Dragon genius, with the latest nickname of the esteemed Dragon Priest, the strict rules of the palace prohibiting anyone from carrying weapons still had to be obeyed by him."I have no weapons," Eadric Rong replied in a calm, yet confident voice."Your storage ring?" the soldier asked again, confirming."Not wearing a spatial ring," said Eadric Rong, as he raised both hands, showing ten empty fingers without rings.Both hands were clean, with no rings indicating the storage of weapons. Thus, Eadric Rong was cleared to enter the palace."Please come in, Taoist Master. Please forgive us if we have inconvenienced you," the head guard said as he bowed respectfully, showing great appreciation.The dozen spears that had locked the gate were slowly lifted, and the majestic gate opened.Eadric Rong walked quietly through the long
Crown Prince – Part II.
Eadric Rong frowned, thinking for a moment before finally saying in an undeniable tone."He came with me. So, he is my man. It's fine if he comes and listens to the conversation later. I entrust all my activities to this Mr. Ouyang. He's like a manager to me," Eadric Rong said firmly, though he was actually lying to protect Ouyang Fai.Although that statement was not entirely true, Ouyang Fai felt an unexpected warmth creeping into his heart. They had only just gotten acquainted, yet their relationship felt so close, as if they had become old friends who already understood each other.Inside a private room heavily guarded by trained soldiers, Eadric Rong stepped in, followed by the Crown Prince who still maintained his royal aura. However, Ouyang Fai was only allowed to wait at the door, with the soldiers watching his every move closely."I'll be fine," Eadric Rong whispered, his voice soft but full of conviction, when he saw the anxious look on Ouyang Fai's face.Ouyang Fai nodded sl
Crown Prince.
Eadric Rong and Ouyang Fai were enjoying tea at the Chrysanthemum Tea House, a place where the calm and peaceful atmosphere was always the main attraction.Among the fragrant tea smoke, the music of Guzheng and Pipa sounded softly, played by opera girls with melodious voices and charming faces.The harmonious sound of the strings complemented the atmosphere, making every sip of tea more enjoyable. However, the cozy silence was suddenly broken by an unexpected commotion."The Crown Prince enters the hall! All bow and salute!" a guard shouted, his voice bouncing between the walls of the hall, as if echoing in the ears of everyone present.The clomping of soldiers' feet in iron boots accompanied the order, followed by the clatter of armor rubbing together.The originally calm atmosphere had now turned tense. Even the musician girls who had previously looked elegant with their smiles suddenly stopped their music and immediately bowed down, their faces pale with fear.The visitors, though
