Carefully, Eadric Rong removed the white underwear and discovered a long wound that stretched from the top of his chest to his abdomen. His eyes widened, and he bit his lip in pain."Luckily it's only an external wound; it didn't penetrate the internal organs," he said as he applied the wound medicine he had gotten from Kongjian's belt.He began to stitch up the long, gaping wound, once again biting his lip, an expression of pain drawn on his face due to the deep pain.After a sip of tea, the sword wound was no longer bleeding. Eadric Rong immediately sat in the Lotus position to cultivate."The energy of the Gobi Desert Sect's Thousand Flower Swordsmanship is really dangerous. Even though I managed to dismantle all of its energy, there's no way that the old nun's energy fragments could tear my chest like this!" Eadric Rong thought with relief.After cultivating for about two hours, all the blood flow in his meridians was restored, no longer as chaotic as before.Eadric Rong felt very
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact New Appearance.
With his humble appearance, where the Taoist robes he wore were worn and frayed in places, Eadric Rong looked like a poverty-stricken shadow of the past.One of the waiters at the Five-Silk Shop, a well-known shop in the capital, thought that Eadric Rong was a beggar and sent him away.In those days, it was very common for a Taoist to ask for alms from those he deemed capable.And in return, they would repay the favor by imparting some skills such as writing simple amulets that ward off evil spirits or writing calligraphy with wise sentences that can provide inspiration."Go away..." the Five-Silk Shop attendant's voice lowered after seeing that the figure he thought was a beggar turned out to be a Taoist."Our Five Sutra Shop already has many evil spirit-repelling talismans, as well as calligraphy of wise words," he said with a pretense of humility, yet there was a trace of disdain in his eyes.It was true that he looked down on the Taoist just because of his simple appearance.Even

Meanwhile, at the door of the Five-Silk Shop, Eadric Rong flashed a faint smile on his face before he finally entered the Five-Silk Shop.The decorations and interiors inside the shop were so luxurious that Eadric Rong was amazed.He stood in the middle of the shop, his eyes looking in all directions, trying to find a suitable material and model to replace his tattered Taoist robes."There won't be any time left," Eadric Rong muttered to himself, "if I buy the materials and then sew them to my liking."Thinking that he was there, then, inevitably, he had to buy the apparel that had been provided at the Five-Silk Shop.At the front of the shop, various types of silk fabrics are beautifully displayed. However, in the deeper section, the Five-Silk Shop sells handmade apparel. It is rumored that the clothes hand-sewn by artisans at the Five-Silk Shop are among the most expensive in the capital.Without hesitation, Eadric Rong stepped into the special area. His eyes wandered around, pickin

Amidst the bustling streets of Daqi City, Eadric Rong suddenly heard a familiar voice speaking loudly."Miss Wei, why don't you enroll in the Wudang Sect with me?" asked the voice, full of confidence."Auditioning from the Gobi Desert Sect will not grant you the privilege of being accepted as an Inner Court disciple. If you are willing to join me, I have connections. Guaranteed, you will be instantly accepted as an inner court disciple in the Wudang Sect!""Really?" asked a girl in a hopeful tone."I want to train in the Wudang Sect, provided I am accepted as an Inner Court Disciple. I don't want to be an outer court disciple," she said in a spoiled tone."Come with me," the man replied, sounding overjoyed.Children of aristocrats or officials in the capital usually attend the Imperial Academy, which teaches literary subjects such as composing poetry, writing calligraphy, as well as practicing traditional musical arts.However, to complete their graduation from Wenhua Academy, all stu

A moment later, Eadric Rong was already standing at the top of the steps in the Sea Pearl Restaurant.He cast his eyes around the spacious second-floor room.There were not many people there. However, most of the people sitting on the second floor were Cultivators, otherwise they were from the Palace or the nobility, who were negotiating the admission of new disciples.Until finally, Eadric Rong's wandering eyes locked onto five figures who seemed to be sitting and talking in very loud voices, as if they were the greatest cultivators in the room.However, one thing that struck Eadric Rong was the figures of three people who seemed to be from the Wudang Sect. Three figures that he recognized, and would never forget for bullying him in the past."Malakai Yan, Judith Tang, and Teddy Huo..." a flash of vengeance instantly filled Eadric Rong's eyes, giving him a terrifying look. If anyone saw Eadric Rong's current gaze, it was certain that they would be horrified.>>> On the second floor

"I guarantee that both of you will be accepted into the Wudang Sect," Malakai Yan said with confidence."If there is no one among the elders or martial instructors willing to make you direct disciples and give you the title of inner court disciple, I will ask my father to personally appoint you two.That way, your problem of becoming a special student is in sight... you don't have to worry about it anymore!""Yes, Young Master Malakai Yan," Yang Haoran said excitedly. He motioned for Wei Zifu to join him in saluting Malakai Yan, who now looked friendlier and better-looking than before.After the emotionally draining negotiations took place, the next event was a lively food and drink party."Let's party!" shouted Yang Haoran in a resounding voice. He felt very satisfied, successfully winning the negotiation.In fact, it is said that Malakai Yan is very difficult to approach, let alone ask for help. "Maybe it's because of the status of the two of us, who came from the palace, that he is
The Secret of The Demonic Artifact Xuanmen Swordplay - Part I.
The Seven Star Swordmanship, which is one of the most respected sword arts in the Wudang Sect, is indeed of extraordinary power.However, the lethal power of this sword art would be reduced if practiced in solo combat.This is what happened when Malakai Yan, with extraordinary courage, launched a solo attack on a stranger on a deserted street, late at night.In every sword thrust he executed, Malakai Yan had time to analyze his attack. With his breath catching, he complained inwardly,"I can only use this Sword Art solo, my biggest mistake was underestimating the many solo sword techniques of the Wudang Sect, which I should have learned at an early age!"As the shadow of his body flashed quickly like lightning, his sword blade turned into a dangerous white-colored light, resembling a star in the night sky.However, amidst that speed and strength, Malakai Yan was immersed in a deep sense of regret. He realized that the loosely dressed figure standing calmly in front of him was a figure

A loud whistling sound resounded in Daqi City at midnight. The help summoning device Malakai Yan released instantly flew over the horizon, and exploded with an extremely loud sound.DUAR!A special logo appeared in the sky, a sign that someone was summoning all the sect members to gather at the spot where Malakai Yan stood, brightly lit in the sky."Hehe... you're accusing me of illegal actions? Now let's see. Will you still be breathing, after all our Wudang Sect members gather here.Will you be able to report me, after you're dead?" Malakai Yan laughed mockingly. His eyes scoffed when he saw the sharp glint in the loosely clad figure's eyeballs.At that moment, the sky in Daqi City sounded a low rumble, as whistling sounds rang out from the four cardinal directions. The whistling was in response to the request for help Malakai Yan had released.A triumphant smile was already etched on Malakai Yan's lips. But at that crucial moment, he heard a hiss of anger from the mouth of the loos

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
