    A letter from author san

    Greetings, Fellow Daoists. I hope everyone has been well in this pandemic. I know many were hoping for chapter 101, But unfortunately, This is just a short author''s thought.

    Well, I never thought that we would reach 100 chapters. To be honest, I was nning to drop this novel around chapter 30-40. But then, I got the contract from Webnovel and didn''t drop it. Honestly, The reason for the slow chapter release is my study and some difficulties in my home, So I hope you guys can understand.

    This novel was the first novel I ever wrote on the inte. I am happy that som many fellow Daoists are enjoying this. I know the issues regarding the quality and the loopholes in this story. English is not my nativenguage, So I am pretty weak at it. As for loopholes, I will exin them in future chapters.

    For example, The thought process of our MC, Yang Shi, is quite chaotic. Many people are feeling that the character of Yang Shi is kinda odd. But, I will exin in the next few chapters about this thing. If you are having any difficulties with the story, please feel free toment.

    The other reason for this note, I wish to know your opinion, As I am thinking to write another novel- About a System and Cultivation+Modern World setting. I hope you will respond to me through Powerstone. If you want to read my new story, Please vote me 160 power stones.

    In the end, I thank every fellow daoist, Who is reading my story. Pleease give me some honest review.

 Chapter 1: Beginning from the End

    Chapter 1: Beginning from the End

    Somewhere, in a ce where the dome of the sky is blue like an ethereal dream. Beneath it a vast sea, crystalline-like liquid diamond on this vast sea, a man was running. If you see from afar, it looks like the man wasn''t running at alljust moving his legs. This is a very beautiful yet dangerous ce which those so-called Gods and Immortals could think about in their dreams.

    The man huffed as he spoke, "It should be this ce."

    Though around him was nothing more than the blue sky and crystal sea. He stretched his arm and chains of runes started to glow. Magically, in front of him, the scenery began to shatter like a mirror. If one tries to describe the man, he would say his face was strangely emotionless. It''s like if he shows any emotion, it would look odd.

    The space around him began to distort and an angry roar echoed, "Those who trespass the vault of heaven shall have their soul annihted."

    Blood drenched the man as he disappeared, leaving behind a few hundred corpses. When he appeared, there was an altar where an ancient sword was stabbed in the middle, and a gigantic golden skeleton was found sitting in a meditative position. The skeleton was so big that it could revolve the universe and shatter the stars. Blood was dripping from the mouth of the man as he took out an old tattering book. Astonishingly, each of the pages was made of golden paper, glittering in the light, yet each page was nk.

    The man started to tear the pages. It may be looked easy but, only a few people knew that the hardness of these papers couldn''t be cut by the sharpest weapon in the universe. The man started to fold the papers and made a golden flower. Then he took out a beautiful container, whose lower half was a blue lotus, and the upper half was a fiery red lily. Inside it was a lump of golden fire zing with vitality. He ignited the paper flower with the fire.

    As he walked toward the altar to pull out the sword, the lifeless skeleton began to move as he looked at the man with its empty sockets. It looked incredibly creepy, yet the man put no heed to it.

    He concentrated to pull out the sword. The skeleton moved again, throwing a punch at the man. It was looking like the time has stopped. The man pulled out the sword, which shattered in the next moment, and put the burning flower in the sword''s ce. Just the moment he put it there, an illusory, incorporeal hand stabbed his back.

    s, it was toote, the burning flower began to shine. Its radiance illuminated through all ages. The man sighed as his body disintegrated into nothingness and his soul decayed bit by bit. Before him, a giant golden gate opened, whose door was filled withplex patterns and runes. The flower burned and transformed into a beautifuldy who wore a golden imperial robe. She then smiled at the man and spoke, her mellifluous voice resounding in his mind.

    " Little Yan, you really did it. Well, it''s time you should rest now."

    The man named Yan expressionlessly replied, "Man could only rest after death. My work is not done yet."

    "You know that you couldn''tplete it now. Better take rest for an era or more. The Heaven''s Will has already marked you, you know right?" the woman chuckled. "You should go now," she added.

    "Wait first take these souls and send them their way."

    With his statement, he opened a scroll and countless beams of light shone from it. It rushed into the golden gate like tidal water.

    "Aren''t you going to reincarnate?"

    "No, I''ll go inside of infinity cosmos mirror."

    Thedy was surprised as she never thought that he still had the key to that grand treasure.

    "Farewell."

    The moment he bode for his leave, both of the figures vanished.

    "Humph," a snort resounded after they were gone.

    In the year 102548, people of the martial heavens experienced a great phenomenon as they were able to tread through the path of Samsara and reincarnate again. All thanks to a man named Samsara Emperor.

    .......................

    The man, named Yan, arrived in a darkened space. His body was almost transparent like it was hovering between illusion and reality. The space around him was dark, like nothing ever existed there, from the beginning.

    It was absolute nothingness. But suddenly, radiance burst and the man found himself in a beautiful ce. Lush green vegetation, cloud reaching mountain, rivers with crystal- transparent water, all over it looks like an immortal''s dwelling.

    "Somebody is here, eh?"

    Yan has already guessed about this person still, he chose to remain silent.

    "Damn, those old geezers, actually they destroyed all of my soul embryos! Hmphonce I return, I will ughter their eighteen generations." Yan fumed with anger. " It seems, I need to initiate n B. I have to find an identical twin soul, but the problem is, bastard Heavens must have erased all of them. Still, I HAVE TO TRY."

    Saying this, he joined his palms, and a golden wave spread in ten directions.

    "As expected, negative result."

    As he was thinking, Nine Heavens and Ten Earths rumbled, and a grand phenomenon happened.

    "Thi-This is impossible. It can''t happen, could it be, this era..." Yan was bewildered.

    "Oh, a signalyeah, an identical twin soul! Wait WHAT? There is a realm outside the cosmos?"

    Yan Couldn''t believe it.

    "It is protected by a formation higher level than an ancient divine rank. What the hell? Hmm ah, an opening. Lemme check it out."

    Unknowingly, this man found a key to a question, which has been unanswered through epochsthe thing which every cultivator yearns. The secret of eternal life: The Immortality.

    Chapter 2: Three wishes and Deal

    July 15, 2018

    The sky was overcast, so was his mood. He couldn''t understand why such things were happening to him. As he was searching for Mei Xian lots of unnecessary memory resurfaced in his mind. Fate has never had been kind for both. His meeting with her is only a handful of good things that happened to him. His mother abandoned him at the age of six months, father died of alcohol when he just went to kindergarten. twelve years of struggling in that hellish orphanage, Yang shi''s heart has already became a stone.

    After escaping from that damned ce, Yang Shi traveled long years to quell his hungry stomach. From cooking in a hotel to small-time theft, he had done lots of misceneous work. He had seen all the smiling faces, and the treacherous heart of this prosperous, civil society. In his life, he only believed in two people, Mei Xian and the old geezer.

    Old geezer was someone whom Yang Shi had met by chance. He was just a normal poor old man, who lived in a bamboo house. For five years, this has been Yang Shi''s house. The old man never told his past to Yang Shi, even Yang Shi asked him many times.

    The old man has an unusual hobby, he loved to collect stuffs rted to martial arts. in his small house, there are lots of martial arts manuals, internal energy cultivation method, acupuncture art, and Fengshui. Yang Shi first tried the fighting and internal energy method but nothing happened. Although he knew that these things are fake still, he was a little disappointed.

    The old man scolded him "What do you know, all these things are real. Do you think mastering these are child''s y? If you could master it like this, then even pigs would able to fly without wings as well."

    The old man died two years after. He was the only person who had shown any affection to Yang Shi. All the thing that was left behind was that martial art stuff and a little octagonal pendant. On top of the pendent was a symbol of Taiji fish. Inside it was a little space, perfect for keeping a photo. He kept it.

    Yang Shi''s meeting with Mei Xian was a good coincidence that happened to him. After the death of the Old man, Yang Shi went to nightclubs for forgetting his problems. When he was drinking, he saw a girl who was harassed by a few youngsters. Yang Shi smirked, he used to see things like this. Who knows, if everything started by the girl herself. The girl wasn''t very beautiful, just above ordinary. After a long fight, everything subsided, that girl sat beside Yang shi,

    " You shouldn''t have fought with them" Yang Shi casually said.

    " Huh...are you talking to me, why shouldn''t I fought with them?"

    " Do you see that watch of the bald person? The price of that one is more than 5000 USD. And other essories those brats are wearing, sum up to your sry of three months. It is good that they didn''t pursue the matter, otherwise the next day, you would have found yourself somewhere without clothes."

    PAH.. " What a bunch of brats could do anything me ?"

    " Yeah, yeah. I have already seen your braveness." Yang Shi, who was usually cold, is quite talkative today.

    " How do you know that I am working here.. are you stalking me?"

    " Haha, If I couldn''t even point it out, my life is gone in vain after all."

    ...

    After that night, two strangers became friends. That girl name was Lu Mei xian. After that their rtionship became more and more intimate. Mei xian quitted her job in the nightclub, and joined as a waitress in a local hotel, and luckily Yang shi also gotten a job in amercial store.

    Everything is going smoothly. Yang shi was happy and thought that all his rotten luck has gone, and its time to turn a new leaf. Mei Xian was also happy. She was also an orphan, besides Yang shi, she doesn''t have any other rtives in the world. Only after one month, they nned to get married. But NO, It seems heavens are jealous of Yang Shi''s happiness.

    Today he got a call from mei xian''s friend, who was also worked with her, telling him that she had gotten a fight with someone called Young master Song. Yang Shi almost dropped his phone. He knew who is this Young master Song. He was the youngest son of Song Qiming, the head of Song real estate. a powerfulpany. The Young master Song is very notorious for raping girls and killing them. [ This girl never listens to me. How many times I told her to not mess with such people, what if...." Yang Shi didn''t dare to think more as he dashed to Mei Xian''s workce...

    ||At the reception||

    " Is Mei Xian is here?"

    " Who are you, Mister?"

    ''I am his .... husband, Please, can you call her''

    " Umm... Sorry, Mister, today is Third young master Songs birthday, He had reserved the fifth floor. Mei xian and others have gone there to attain them.."

    Fuck, as he was going to say something

    CRAAASHHHH!!!!!!.. With a loud ss shattering sound, someone fell from above...

    As Yang Shi rushed there, he saw a bloodied body lying over broken ss pieces.

    ''NO NONONONONO, Xian''er, Xian''er ..." Yang Shi frantically called her.

    "Shi, T-those bastards, they are trying -t-to **** me... I decided to jump off the building, Shi, I didn''t let them tarnish my body ..I-I am sorry, it seems we are destined to be parted."

    "NO, you fool, j-just wait. I''ll call the ambnce"

    As he was calling an ambnce, he saw a bunch of rich youngsters came out of the building. One of them said, *Che*, " That chic was pretty good. s, she couldn''t appreciate Young master Song''s kindness."

    "How can such girl can enter Young master''s eyes, He just asked her to apany him to a bath, What''s so shocking about it?"

    When Yang shi heard this, He was trembling violently. Suppressing his murderous intent, he rushed to the hospital carrying Mei Xian.

    ........

    " I am very sorry to dere that... the person is no more. "

    NO NO NO NO.... this sentence came like a thunderbolt.

    It was raining outside. Yang Shi''s face was drenched in water, it was unknown if was rainwater or tears.

    ARRRRRGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

    He let a roar to heavens, but gods didn''t hear his call. But someone else did.

    " Hmm, such a pathetic kid. Couldn''t even able to take his revenge. Is it because of powerlessness or your love isn''t true? "

    Hearing this Yang Shi clenched his fist so hard that blue vein popped out. He lifted his head and with his bloodshot eyes, he looked surrounding ces. But founded no one. "WHO said this? Which b***ard said this??? "

    " Rather than bickering with me, think of your inability. What did you do when she was being harassed? Nothing. What can you do now, after her death? Nothing. What can you do by yourself? NOTHING. "

    Till now, Yang Shi knew, Who had been talking to him. it was the octagonal taiji pendent, which was given by the Old man. Though he was shocked, revenge is more important for him.

    Listening to that voice, Yang shi''s eye gleamed. He asked, " Can you help me?"

    " Everything has its price, can you afford it? Do you have guts to pay the price?"

    " What''s the price?"

    " Simple, just your soul."

    " What''s the value of my soul?"

    " One wish"

    " Three wishes, if not, get lost."

    " Brat, you dare to bargain with this seat. Do you even know who am I?"

    " No need to know. From your tone, I can sense how desperately you need my soul. I know you''ll ept my conditions"

    *Chet* " Kid, aren''t you afraid I will cheat you?"

    " Not afraid. As long there is a chance of revenge, I''ll grab it"

    "...Fine. DEAL"

    "DEAL"

 Chapter 3: And...crossover

    Chapter 3: And...crossover

    On a sky-reaching mountain called heaven overflow mountain, resides a prosperous city. From the top of the mountain, the scenery of the city looks like a painting of ancient civilization.

    the city was decorated as a grand festival about to happen.

    " Hahaha, today our shi er''s 14th birthday. I wonder which martial spirit is going to appear"

    " Hmph, today our son''s birthday, and you are still thinking of his martial spirit."

    Laughter resounded in the main n estate...

    " Whoa. Such a grand phenomenon. Brother shi''s martial spirit surely is peerless...

    Then something unexpected happened.

    " HOW, how everything turned like this?"

    " Elder Tian, Is there-is there no other option?"

    " You have to think as a patriarch, the whole n will be affected by this.."

    " Patriarch, Lady has fainted again...!!''

    ...." Hurry up, activate( heaven Sealing Divine Formation )"

    " But elder, that-

    " Its patriarchs order."

    .......

    " Now brat, quickly tell me ya wishes, get the work done quickly."

    "

    " A poisonous tree cannot bear a medicinal fruit, that B***ARD''s nature is also hereditary. My first wish is that song family must perish with the most humiliating way, I wish to see that"

    " Granted, you can go and watch yourself "

    Yang shi rushed to the nearest T.V and saw astonishing news. The secret document about ck money and moneyundering of Song family corporation has leaked. The Police have seized their mainpany''s building. The elder son is caught red-handed while supplying drugs. His wife''s debaucherous video with some other men went viral on the inte.

    After some time her suicide news came. The second son found aplished with his father in the ck money case and died in an ident while running away. The third one is now missing but police are searching for him for ruining many girls lives. After hearing this news,

    Yang shi started running, to the same ce where mei xianmitted suicide. When he arrived there, he saw a person with a mask and wearing a hood. Yang shi''s eyes shone with an ominous glint as he went and punched hard on his back head. Then he dragged him to the same floor where mei xian jumped. After opening his eye the person stared with confusion, Yes, He was the missing third Young master Song.

    When Yang Shi was near mei xian at the main door of the hotel, he identally heard how she ruined the master songs party. He went back to enjoy some "fresh flower'' in the hotel''s VIP lounge. He is like an innocentmb who doesn''t know that the butcher hase to im his life.

    Hehe, Yang Shi dragged his unconscious body to the floor where mei xian had jumped from.

    He pped him conscious, picked up a wine bottle, and broke it,

    *SHATTER*

    A loud shattering sound started Young master Song.

    " Huh, Why am I here? Who-Who are you. What are you doing? Don''t you know who am I?"

    " Of course, How can I forgot Young master Song, the bastard who ruined my xian''er life !"

    He picked up his phone and turned on live streaming. He turned the camera to the young man''s face and said " Everybody, pay attention. He is the fabled Third Young master SONG. Who ruined so many girls life and harmed many innocent peoples.,". He picked up the broken ss bottle and pointed its sharp side to the young man''s crotch. " NOW, its reward time. This part is very important for you, right? "

    " No-No. P-p-please, I am begging you. Please, No, NOOOO"

    AHHHHHHHH!!

    Young master Song screamed like a pig who was being butchered. His pants dyed red, with a handful of flesh, was missing from his crotch.

    " This is karma. Now, allow me to send you to hell."

    saying these words, Yang Shi pushed down the Yong man from the fifth floor.

    Originally, nobody was paying to a random live streaming. But when the real torture started, its view exploded like an atom bomb. Who''d miss a murder video, Where, somebody was killing a scum of society? Many helpless parents wept the tear of happiness, to seeing their culprit being punished. Many victimized girls paid respect to their unknown savior.

    " Kid, You are quite ruthless. you really killed him, huh," the voice said.

    " He deserved to die. If he hadn''t done that, Xian''er might alive now."

    '' So you killed him because he harassed your woman? You''re very selfish, ya know"

    " I am not a hero who will uphold justice. I don''t care who does what. but if they hurt my peoples, I shall seek revenge."

    '' Hmm, not bad kid. Now let''s move to second wish."

    Yang Shi hesitated a little, but he no longer doubted the voice''s power. " My second wish, resurrect mei xian."

    '' Can''t do that. Life and death are not in my hands. but-" Yang Shi was disappointed a little, but hearing that there was leeway, he was ted.

    " I can help her in reincarnation. You''d even have a chance to meet her in the future."

    " Fine. Just reincarnate her in the best ce. Where she''d have no worries."

    " Now now,st wish.....''

    " You''ll grant me anything, right?"

    " As long as it within my scope."

    " I''ll do your every job. But I won''t be your servant or ve."

    " Haha, HAHAHAHAHA, brat, you''re very cunning... FINE, I ept. Now it''s your turn."

    " Of course. Just give me some minutes ."

    '' 30 minutes, no more''

    Yang Shi went to the hospital and carried back the meixian''s body. He washed her clean, donned her with a beautiful dress, and carried to the old man''s house. [ Even after death you look so beautiful.] Yang Shi sighed. He dug two graves side by side. Writing on a gravestone

    '' Here lies Lu mei xian. MY WIFE, EVEN IN DEATH AND REBIRTH, I''LL ALWAYS BE WITH HER.''

    On the second gravestone, he wrote,

    '' I am Yang shi xian er''s unfortunate husband. Who can''t save her? Still, I will give her all happiness in the next life''

    Yang shi buried her and went to lie in the grave next to her. For thest time, he opened the Taiji pendent of the old man and saw the picture of mei xian. '' Aii, old geezer. you won''tin me to rest here right? Well, this is my true home after all."

    " Well, brat, TIMES UP."

    " Let''s go."

    Golden radiance burst above his head and a pir of light pierced through heaven, Yang Shi felt he was sucked away, but when he looked bellow, he saw his body lying peacefully in the grave.

    could it be.....???

    ...........

    somewhere far away, unknown ce in earth,

    '' His Majesty, its problem...''

    " what happened?"

    " Something broke through the god formation."

    The man who was sitting on the throne, his eyes narrowed.

    " Is the crack is permanent?"

    " No, it''s temporary, its formation is preparing itself, something didn''te but something went to the outer world"

    "hmmm..."

 Chapter 4: Lucky? May be NOT.

    Chapter 4: Lucky? May be NOT.

    Yang shi opened his eyes, and he shocked so much that he fainted again. He saw he was flying in an insane speed, like he was tied with a string and somebody pulled the string quickly. He mustered his strength to opened his eyes, he saw that is legs couldn''t be seen anywhere. his body is stretched so much that from far it looks like a long snake.

    " NO, wait why I can''t feel anything?" he saw his body again," So this is my soul, huh."

    He remembered what he had done," So this is not a dream. But wait a sec, If I am in soul form, then why this thing is here?"

    He thought as he grabbed the octagonal pendant. " Could it be its a magical item? It must. This is the one who was talking to me."

    " NO, I am the one who was talking to you, brat." Yang Shi was scared by the sudden appearance of the voice. "

    " Who are you?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Brat, you have forgotten your benefactor this quickly?"

    " No, I remember, thanks for what you have done for me."

    " No need to thanking me, brat, we''ve done a deal, now it''s time to fulfill your promise, but before that....."

    Before Yang Shi could understand anything, a thin string of light drilled into his forehead, and another end of the string connected to a man''s forehead, Who wasn''t there a moment ago.

    Yang shi could feel, something is being taken away from him. But he couldn''t understand what the thing was. After some time, the ray of light vanished. Yang Shi retreated quickly, unknowingly, that the space surrounding him has changed.

    " W-What you''ve done to me?"

    " Oh, nothing, I just lived your 24 years of life in just a few moments. I have already seen all of your memory, from when you are infant till when you died. Your life is pretty messed up, eh."

    " You-you...'' Yang Shi stammerd in rage.

    " Okay kid, enough chit-chat, now here is your duty,e look here."

    The man asked Yang Shi toe and see something. What Yang Shi saw, he couldn''t believe it.

    Yang Shi saw he was standing in space, surrounding him numerous worlds. Myriads of stars are glittering, in the endless dark sky. The scene before him changed, and he saw, humans, dragons, phoenixes, demons, all kinds of life forms which were only in legends and myths. He saw powerful humans are flying, with there power they can tten a mountain and flip the sea, they can control power to devour a ne and create a star.

    " These-these are cultivator, Oh my god, cultivators, I mean REAL immortal cultivators''

    It looks like the man was pleased with the foolish expression of Yang shi." Of course, they are the cultivators, those like you read in a wuxia novel, though they are no really IMMORTAL, they also die."

    " Wait, how do you know about my world''s wuxia novels?"

    " Foolish brat, did you forgot that have your memories?"

    " Ah, my bad, so, what do you want me to do?" Yang shi asked cautiously.

    " Brat, don''t be such a sissy. Here, I am giving you a golden chance. your sole mission is to be most powerful cultivator. that''s it. You have even a chance to meet yourss, What''s her name?? Ah right, Mei Xian, kay"

    Hearing such a proposal, Yang Shi couldn''t believe his ears. REALLY? But after thinking about meeting with Mei Xian, he inhaled a mouthful of cold air. Although the soul doesn''t need to breathe. " NO, I have to take this chance."

    " Think about it, brat. First of all, things, we had a deal. And secondly, think about your previous shitty life, and think what you can gain here."

    "...."

    " Kid think, in your previous life you are weak, you had no power. Without me, you could never have gotten your revenge. Here in this world, there only one rule- That''s there is none.

    Here if you possess enough power you can invert white as ck, turn evil into righteous. Here without power, you should be prepared for your wife, daughter and sister to be raped, your son and father to be killed and you to endure inhuman torture. but if have power, you can sleep with an empress and **** a goddess, plunder the most powerful treasure, kill anyone who you think as an eyesore, Your fist will be the rule here... and think of mei xian, as she has already born in this universe."

    Yang shi bepletely restless as he heard that his beloved has born in such a cruel world.

    " Okay, I agree."

    " Hahahaha, BAITED. kid don''t worry bout thatss, I already sent her to a powerful family where she would have no problem, but you need to have one-tenth of my power to reach her."

    "...Fine let''s move forward, so where is the body I am going to possess?"

    " Body?"

    " Of course, I need a body to cultivate, right?"

    "...Ah, yes, yes, I have a perfect body for you."

    " Does the body has peerless talents?"

    " Yes, it has. It has the most powerful potential I have seen in my 6 million years of life.Too bad all potential of this has sealed away."

    "....." Yang shi wished nothing but to strangle this man in front of him." Calm down, calm down. you can''t beat him, chill up."

    " So you are going to give me a most powerful-hyper speed-heaven shaking cultivation technique?"

    " Again, NO, I am not going to give you any, although I have lots of. you need to carve your own path. I''m already given you lots of things, so nothing now."

    " You have given me shit." Yang shi was on the verge of crying, but no tear came.

    " Cool down, cool down." The man was very happy to see the misfortune of Yang Shi. ( kekeke, brat, did you thought to ascend heaven in one step? Now suffer.)

    " What attribute my body has?"

    " Well, it''s on you to unlock all the mysteries of your body, but lemme tell you, you have Nine Saint Extreme Yang Skeleton"

    " Is this is the most powerful Yang type body?" Yang shi asked.

    " Yes."

    " hehehhahahaAHAHAHAHAHAH, I am so lucky." Yang shiughed.

    "KE KE, maybe not so"

    " Why did u say I am not lucky?"

    " Why did youughed then?"

    " Hehe, do you think I don''t know about powerful Yang physique?"Yang shi sneered. " What do you know? " The man asked curiously.

    " As far as I know from web novels, Yang can''t survive without Yin and vice versa. so to cultivate the yang you need to use Yin energy to feed it."

    "uh-huh, so what?"

    " Fu-fu, I know that to cultivate the yang body, you need the primal yin essence of women, so in other words, you need to dual cultivate with girls."

    *puu* " haha HAHAHAHAHAHAH, oh god hahhahaHAHA." the man was rolling on the ground as heughed crazily. "Oh boy, your imagination is good, actually, you could have done that but now you don''t have have a chance."

    "...why is that?" Yang shi asked dejectedly. "Because, you have a thing that bnces your yang energy, you have the immemorial evil Yn vein. which is also very rare, so, for now, forget about dual cultivation. Moreover, which stupid gal wants a weak partner like you?" The man sneered.

    " Well, truth to be told, the Nine Saint Extreme Yang skeleton is not this body''s inborn physique, as its natural physique has been sealed away. Also, its talent to cultivate and fate ispletely sealed. Cons and pros are in everything. Reviving in this body take this as your rebirth, you need to train hard to achieve your dream to reunite with Mei xian because she barely remembers anything of her past life. So if you don''t work hard, Keke, prepare to watch her wedding with someone else."

    " Anyway, now its time for departure. Remember Kid, I won''t be there to protect your ass, so don''t die, else I will make you suffer even after death. And remember to practice your world''s martial art technique. It''s going be your greatest weapon in this world, and that yin-yang locket of yours, keep it safe. As youplete certain tasks, you will be rewarded by me. So now GO"

    Saying this, The man threw a blue and red box towards Yang Shi. As Yang shi caught the box, he was pulled by its velocity and shot over to a distant ne. The box burst and two rays of blue and red light started to swirling around Yang Shi''s soul as he crashed somewhere.

    .........

    " Damn, such a horrible experience," mumbled Yang Shi as opened his eyes. A wave of pain washed over his body, he saw like all of his body muscle has torn, and all bones are crushed, In intense pain, he gasped for air as his mind nked out.

    In a dark space

    " Who am I?,where-where, am I?" Yang Shi looked at his surrounding."Ah, I am Yang Shi...." he saw many white crystals floating around him. Curiously as Yang Shi touched one of them. The white crystal rushed toward Yang shi, with an ache in head, Yang Shi saw many scenes.

    " So these are the memory of the former owner of the body."

    " Wait, am I Yang shi or Long Shi Xuan." After digesting the memory, Yang shi saw something odd.

    " Huh, the white crystals are the memory of this body, but whose memory is these broken golden crystals?". As he was observing the golden crystals, his curiosity was picked. As he touched the smallest crystal shard, he felt a head-splitting pain. If absorbing the white crystal is like a little prick of a needle, the absorbing the small golden crystal is like having his head brutally smashed by a hammer. Not even half of the golden crystal was absorbed when Yang shi opened his eyes.

    "S o, I am both Yang Shi and Long Xuan, huh, but where am I?", He gazed his surrounding, he saw in front of him was a waterfall, and it seems it was deep in woods."ARRRGH" groaned Yang Shi, as he dragged his wounded body toward the water to drink some. After gulping a few mouthfuls of water he rested there some time till he felt something was in his pocket. "Huh, whats, this" as he checked a blue and red box, as he was observing it, it glowed and a ray of azure blue and a crimson red-ray entered his eyes, Yang shi panicked but surprisingly it didn''t hurt rather his left eye felt a cooling sensation and his right eye warmed a little. In such afy sensation, Yang shi slept soundly.

    Around midnight, Yang shi opened his eye, to his surprise he could see clearly in the dark. " Is this power given by the blue-red light?". Yang Shi''s stomach grumbled as he felt hunger. " Fruits, where are fruits?"

    Yang shi saw, on the left side of him, there is a tall tree. There is only one yellow fruit. Yang Shi picked a stone and threw at it. After the fruit fell, Yang Shi sniffed, it smelled very nice. It was indeed very sweet and the effects were more astonishing. All of Yang shi''s wound healed at a rapid pace, he felt like he had a bath in a cold pool, his body was brimming with energy. He sat cross-legged and begin to organize his memory.

    This body''s name was Long Xuan, the strange thing was, it doesn''t have any memory before it was 10 years. Long Juan was adopted in the Long n at the age of 10year. He became the servant of Long family''s first young master Long Chen. The family was very prosperous, and Long Xuan was treated as a young brother by Long Chen. But happiness neversts forever. one day the third elder of the family founded a strange meteorite and brought it to the n. the meteorite was quite ordinary except it was unbreakable. The neighbor Ma n got news bout it. They were the bitter enemy of the Long n, they spread the news that the Long family has founded a treasure. It was happened to that on in the dark night.

    A group of people attacked on the long n estate, a fierce fight broke out. The warriors of the Long n were strong, but the enemy was stronger. The Ma n colluded with some other expert to attack the Long n. When the situation got dire, the patriarch of the Long n ordered to secretly move the younger people away, As a loyal servant Long n and to pay the debt of the Long n, Long Xuan wore the clothes of Long Chen and escaped to the forest to mislead the enemy and buy time for Long Chen When the enemy founded the Long Xuan, they knew they were tricked, with anger they madly charged at Long Xuan, while dodging their attacks, Long Xuan identally slipped and fall down from the waterfall.

    Chapter 6: I have an OP system, No?(2)

    "Damn, This Long Xuan is quite loyal, huh, but to think, he had the courage to repay the kindness of Long n," Yang shi mumbled. As he was thinking, a screen appeared in front of him."Quest activated- kill Ma Xia kong, the patriarch of Ma n. within a month, you will be killed by Ma n if you failed to do it, Reward- activate nine saints extreme Yang Skeleton, immemorial evil Yin vein and acquire a bloodline."

    "what, wait, T-This is a system, I have an op cultivation system, HAHAHAHAHA, there is no one who can be peerless as me. Hmm, this quest is difficult, but no worry, since I have the system now. Its time for power-up".

    ''System, open" Yang shi yelled.

    (swoosh) as the wind blew, nothing happened. "What?"

    "System panel appear"

    "..."

    "shop, appear"

    "....."

    "System, show me cultivation techniques."

    "....."

    "System, SYSTEM....'' Yang shi lifted his arms and yelled, but unfortunately nothing happened. " Is the system is broken?, what the hell? SYSTEM, SYSTEEEM"

    Then, the screen appeared again and on it written " You can''t get anything from here except mission. So do NOT call me again".After this only one word escaped from Yang shi''s mouth

    "..Fuck"

    From Long Xuan''s memory, Yang shi knew how hard is this bloody mission. Cultivation it this world consisted of twelve realms. Qi condensation realm, Spiritual ascension realm, Primordial Spirit awakening realm, Violet Pce expansion realm, Origin core realm, Nirvana realm. The remaining realms are out of Long Xuan''s knowledge. Each realm has nine stages. The patriarch of the Long family was in the fifth stage of the primordial spirit awakening realm, which is very powerful in this ce, Even the king of Blue sparrow kingdom(Blue sparrow kingdom is the ce where the Long n and Ma n resides, I forgot to mention earlier)is only at the peak ninth stage of primordial spirit realm. So the power Long n is significant here. The patriarch Ma n was only at the third stage of the primordial spirit realm, but the strength of Ma n lies in their number, nevertheless, if were not for aid from outsiders, the Long n would not have perished, Anyway, yang shi opened his eye and sighed."Damn, I don''t have a bit of cultivation and you are asking me to kill someone three great realms above, it''s like an lv-1 hero''s first mission to kill an lv-30 boss."

    The problem is that the so-called system that all crossovers Long Aotian [ its a ng for OP arrogant, perfect MC ] should have, yang shi doesn''t have it." *Chet* such scam with me."

    "Wait, don''t I have the memory of that mysterious man?, Yes I have that cheat.". Yang shi'' closed his eye and started to find those golden fragmented memories. Yang shi saw he was standing in space, with countless stars glittering around it, a man emerged, draw out his sword and shed forward, Yang shi''s hair stood at its end, just with the momentum of the sh is enough to rip the fabric of reality, it crossed through space and time to sh a giant monster. The monster roared and the stars became dim, a ck beam emerged from the monster''s forehead and fired at unrealistic speed, The sword''s sh split the ck beam and cut the monster''s body by half. Yang shi was drenched in cold sweats, he calmed to his mind to find more useful things, "Here are the cultivation techniques, hmm, the golden empyrean cultivation form- required a radiant imperial body, don''t have. Nine frost spirit body art, requirement - must be a woman and have a high-grade Yin type body. The hell, next, Astral dragon body refining art- needs at least a monarch grade dragon bloodline.

    "..."

    No, no you.. you damned old man, you bully the weak, you damned capitalist, racist, damn you, how the hell poor people gonna live. And what are these, 9th revolution pills, 7 revolution pills, the minimum is fourth revolution pill that is for violet pce expansion realm, what I am gonna do with these recipes damn, you old fart, everything cultivation techniques, battle arts, alchemy technique, formation making are higher level, what am I gonna do with this stuff. I can''t even sell these things. This is the wrong script, I am seriously gonna report it. Pill can assist a person in cultivation. Some pills in the expert''s memory can upgrade the cultivation by two great realms. But the problem is let alone the pill or alchemist, Even one ingredient of pill can''t found here. this is the perfect example where the worth of gold turns into a scrap metal. And for cultivation techniques, Yang Shi didn''t have the requirement and even if he has, even making small progress will take more than a month, and Yang Shi can''t wait for his death.

    Yang shi sighed, then looked at his surrounding,{ Hmm strange, since yesterday, I am not hearing any sounds of wild beasts, even some small birds are can not be seen, no insect noise, nothing} except the sound of flowing water, the forest was silent. As a bad premotion came to Yang shi''s mind, the bush behind him rustled. After that what Yang shi saw, caused his soul to flee from his body.

    " It seems, I m fucked."

 Chapter 7: Demonic beast and strange altar

    Chapter 7: Demonic beast and strange altar

    As the rustling became louder, Yang shi began sweat crazily, he could feel something dangerous nearing him. A ck shadow appeared and it gave Yang shi a soul leading fright. He saw a giant ck panther at least thrice a big from an average tiger. Yang shi thought to retreat but, he found his body frozen. The panther ring at Yang shi with it''s glowing yellow eyes, as it neared Yang shi screamed and tried to faint, unfortunately, he couldn''t faint. The panther showed disdain through its eyes and spoke like a human" Stop, feigning little mortal brat, hmph I couldn''t even feel to hit you with your weak body, *tut* such a weak prey" Yang shi opened his eye and stared at the tiger dazedly, " A-t-talking TIGER???". "Hmph, brat, you dare to call me a taking tiger, I am a mighty demonic beast, I am a darkcloud panther." Yang shi quickly prostrated before the tiger and said " Yes, yes, Oh, mighty, demonic best lord, your power has no bounds, you can destroy a mountain with your single breath..."

    " Enough bootlicking, brat.."

    " No, it''s not bootlicking sir, you are very great and mercifully, you need not to nce such a weak mortal like me, I can''t even fit in your gaps of teeth"

    Like humans, there are countless races practices cultivation, the normal animal,after a long year gains wisdom, and turned into ferocious beasts, they are intelligent, can absorb qi of heaven and earth, and understand humannguage. The panther in front of him, is even more dangerous than a ferocious beast, the panther was a demonic beast who can talk in humannguage and perform some powerful battle art. There was a legend that after this stage, demonic beasts can transform into a human form, of course, this was all a hearsay, that was Long Xuan a.k.a yang shi thought. The ce Yang shi currently was the endless sky forest, the neighbor forest of blue sparrow kingdom, it has an abundance of normal wild beasts and a good number of ferocious beasts. Demonic beasts are very rare as its power wasparable to the human primordial spirit awakening realm. theses beings reside in deep woods, of course, its a no-mannd. Yang shi terrified to think that he had identally intrude into a demonic beast''s territory. No wonder there are no animals nearby. " damn it, such rotten luck, shouldn''t I would have gotten a powerful treasure with a peerless cultivation technique, what the hell with this script." Yang shi cursed in his heart."Damn you old coot" yang shi swore at the mysterious man. "Mighty, demonic beast, since you decide to not eat me, I shall, be going then..."

    " WAIT, did you ate the fruits of that tree??"

    Yang shi halted, his face looked like a squashed eggnt. The fruits which tasted so sweet now feels like a poison. Yang shi had the urge to cry but no tear came.

    " I-I-I did...not eat any...yellow fruit, great demonic beast." damn this slippery mouth.

    " Interesting, I didn''t say anything about yellow fruit... I know what to do with you"

    " Please spare me great- ahhhhhh. Yang shi screamed as the panther pounced at him, lifted grabbed his clothes with its jaw, and dashed into woods.

    After yang shi opened his eyes he wished he could close it again," Damn, is one demonic beast is not enough that heaven gave me another five demonic beast?" In front of him was a boar demon, a bull demon, a Snake demon and so on..

    " Brother, panther, who is this kid, *sniff* such a bad odor, said the boar demonic beast.

    " I brought some sacrifice for the altar"

    " This mortal brat, for sacrifice, brother have you gone mad?, at least bring some qi realm cultivators"

    " Well, meat of mosquito is still meat, besides for a month, not much peopleing into the forest, and due to the covenant, we can''t barge into human territories. so tell me, what should we do?"

    After saying this the panther brought yang shi, into a cave. What yang shi saw caused him to vomit. Inside the cave was an open space, with a pool in the center, the pool was filled with dark red liquid, which was apparently human blood. Littered around it was countless bones, with four pirs at four corners. ''so, the so-called altar is an ancient formation, hmm, some runes aren''t at its correct ce and the blood energy is not enough the formation, Wait, hoe did I know this, Ah its the memory of that man"." who have you brought little ck?" a voice boomed in the cave.

    "My lord, I have brought the sacrifice."

    *sigh* "this brat, with no cultivation, can''t do much, still, better than nothing since I have been injured and we can''t attack on human cities because of the pact. We need to quicklyplete our task.

    " Yes, Your Majesty"

    The human-like person is certainly not a human, he has a horn on his forehead. Yang shi was burst to tears after he saw it,[ No this is not right, you are cheating, You are fucking cheating, This is a beast who transformed into a human. what the hell I should do now?]. Then something struck his brain.

    " I GOT IT, YES yes, I know what are you doing, you want to concoct a crimson Blood vitality pill right?"

    " Little boy, how did you know?" asked the demonic-man, raising his brows. Clearly, he didn''t expect a mortal boy to know about such a matter.

    " Hehe, I even know that you don''t have the main ingredients, arge amount of blood."

    " Heh, kid don''t try to be smart, we will eventually gather enough blood for concoction." The ck panther snickered, clearly he sensed something was amiss.

    " Well, I thought to help you poor guys, but it seems, virtue is unnecessary"

    " Then how a mortal like you can help us?" the demonic man asked. His curiosity has piqued.

    " From your word, it seems you need arge amount of human blood for this altar to activate, but you can''t gather much sacrifice as you can''t attack on human civilization due to a pact, but what if peoplee here by themselves?", Yang Shi grinned mysteriously.

    " You said you can lure humans here?" the panther asked. "You, a meager MORTAL?"

    " Hehe, Beast king, an ant can go to such ces where elephant can''t go. Believe me, I can gather lots of human cultivators here."

    " But aren''t you a human yourself? why do you want to help us?" The demonic- man asked suspiciously.

    " I have a life and death grudge for an enemy n, I can not eliminate them with my meager power, thus I want your help, and besides you will set me free."

    " Hmm,d, if you do as you are saying, not only I can spare you, but also reward you."

    " But what if you are lying and escape from here?" The panther asked doubtfully.

    " There is no chance I can escape, you only need to follow my n, and BOOM! , people shalle like a tide."

    "Let''s have a cooperation then." The demonic- manughed loudly.

    " So the first thing we need to do is......."

    .....................................................................

    * Outskirt of city*

    Two guards with bronze te armor, who was guarding the city gates, are talking.

    " Brother Zhu, don''t you think the forest has be too peaceful, these days?"

    " Isn''t this is the same all over years?" the brother Zhu said.

    " No, I mean, even normal animals have vanished."

    " Hmm, now you have said this...."

    " HELP, SOMEBODY HELP..." brother Zhu was interrupted as someone shouted for help.

    " Look, brother Zhu, that man is seriously wounded, let''s check it out."

    " LOOK, WHAT''S THAT?" brother Zhu shouted as he pointed at something.

    Behind the bleeding man, a red-colored lion wasing, it looked at the two guards like its prey.

    "A-A- high-level ferocious beast, Red ze lion, Hurry and inform the captain." brother Zhu shouted.

    " Fuck, how can a high-level ferocious beast came out of forest.? the second guard cursed under his breath as he runs toward the city.

    " So, Kid, what is your n?" the demonic-man asked.

    " If there is enough benefit, people will even jump into the lion''s mouth." Yang shi said mysteriously. "we are going act like this time that here is a treasure which is easy to get." he said.

    " A treasure, here?" the panther asked," Really? Where?"

    " Of course, it''s just a lie." Yang shi rolled his eye. [ This beast is so stupid]

    " So, how are you going to lure them here?" The demonic-man asked.

    " Do you have control over all beast here?" Yang shi asked.

    " Yes, I have. I am the king after all." The demonic-man said proudly.

    " Then ask all ferocious and normal beasts to hide as no human could see them for a few days." Yang shi said. " Hmm, It will be done." the demonic-man assured.

    "By the way, When is the new moon night" Yang shi asked.

    " It...Yes, after a week, Why do you ask?"

    " Our real n will start in that morning"

    ...

    ||Present Time||

    " Hurry, call the captain." A guard shouted.

    " Damn, The forest has been silent for a few days, What the hell is happening now?"

    " Here is captain Lin"

    " Soldiers, The situation is grim now, I have gotten the news that northern wall is also being attacked by two high-level ferocious beasts, three squadron has been deployed there, I am afraid we have to wait longer for reinforcement." Captain Lin said with a grave tone.

    " WHAT?!!" everybody was astounded. " Captain, what about the ns and royal pce?"

    " Long n is not anymore, Ma n is hesitant, His Majesty has been discussing with Xiao n head and Ma n head, The situation is very delicate as the Royal household is afraid of rebellion." Captain Lin said.

    " ROAAAAR" the lion roared fiercely. and it started to spat fireballs from its mouth.

    " Impudent beast, taste my Iron de sh" Captain Lin roared" EVERYONE, GET INFORMATION"

    It was evident that captain Lin was a high-level spirit ascension cultivator, With his team, he could fight equally with the zing lion. Then suddenly, a bunch of normal animals arrived and attacked the team. If it was any other time, This team could have easily ughter them, but in a dire situation, they couldn''t help but grimaced.

    " Fuck, it''s a pre-nned assault" a guard roared.

    Hearing this, Captain Lin couldn''t help but think" Could it be..."

    "MOOO" "HISSSS"

    Two earsplitting sound was heard, As a giant bull and arge snake came out of the forest.

    " FUCK"

    "SHIT"

    " Are we going to die here, today?" As everybody was thinking this, a man shouted.

    " LOOK, three royal envoys havee." After seeing them everybody became rx.

    " Now, we are going to win." It is almost night at that time.

    " Haha, puny humans, do you think you will win?" A cackle resounded like a p of thunder.

    The royal envoys face fell " Its a demonic beast"

    " Damn, Inform the all n elder and patriarchs," One of them said

    " Reporting to you Sir, the Ma n elders and patriarch are at the northern gate, Xiao n elder ising here." A man said to them.

    They know how horrifying is the power of the Deep-sky forest, They never attack on cities, so what the hell happened now?. In the moonless night, the battle between men and beast raged on. Everyone was in a frenzied state, when a blinding pir of light shot from the middle of the forest. As all people are gazing at the light, all the beast shrieked and howl painfully, a demonic beast roared " Shit, That thing has appeared, RETREAT". After thatmand, all beast retreated to the forest.

    " Wait, what happened?"

    " WE..WE WON?... WE WON!!!!!!....."

    While the Royal envoys were frowning, all soldiers were celebrating their triumph. Hell, who won''t celebrate if they won against a terrifying beast army. Everybody was rejoicing as they snatched back their lives from death''s hand. At the northern gate situation was a little different. It looks like beasts are purposely provoking Ma n peoples. A cat beast bit the butt of an elder, and scratched another elder''s -handsome- face.

    " Impudent beast, You dare?"

    " Even Gods cannot save you today."

    When the light pir appeared in the middle of the forest, all beast retreated, one of them was an injured ferocious beast, Two Ma n elders began to chase it. The blood, fur, and flesh of a ferocious beast is very costly, of course, the risk is also great. As the two elder ran into deeper woods, a dense fog surrounded them and, they separated from each other, while desperately searching the way back, one of them heard the sound of someone, " Huh, there are people here?" he listened carefully and heard two people talking.

    " Teacher, did you saw that light pir? the treasure we are searching for is there." An excited, young voice said.

    " Keep patient, Little brat, The treasury is going to open after three days, so before that, we need to find the key." A deep, middle-age voice replied.

    " But teacher, I heard that the key previously was in Long n, now it is at, What''s its name.....Ah, yes, at Ma n, so what will we do?"

    " Ma n doesn''t know much about the meteorite, Hmm, we will try to trade it with some pills or something else. "

    " But what if they refuse? "

    " Then we have to do things with a hard hand."

    " Heh, those stupid Ma n peasants, they will never know that they had a key for such a treasure. "

    " Disciple, You''re right, even they somehow learned about this, unless they mobilize entire Ma n, They will never get it"

    The elder of the Ma n, who overheard all the things. His breathing grew harder and harder. " This info is priceless, if Ma n could get their hands on this treasure, not only our power will double, Our rebellion against the imperial n will seed". The sole dream of Ma n has been to rece the imperial n and rule the Blue sparrow kingdom. The Long n was the first hurdle and thest one is the imperial n.

    " Hmm, WHO''S THERE??!! " the middle-aged voice shouted.

    The Ma n elder stopped his breathing. He was sweating bullets, afraid of being found out by this mysterious expert.

    " It must be some animal," the young voice said.

    " Anyway, let''s go" as the middle-aged voice said, terrific pressure emitted and all voice stopped.

    " Such a close call, he is even powerful than the king"

    The elder rxed. The fog grew thinner and his surroundings got clearer. He started to search his way back when he saw, his partner. They rushed back to the n to inform the Patriarch.

    ...

    " How was my acting?"

    " Good"

    Chapter 9: Preparation for the seize

    " Are you telling the truth?" The patriarch of Ma n questioned with an agitated tone.

    " Patriarch, It''s true. I heard them talking something about a treasure that is going to appear in three days." the elder, who went to the forest, said.

    " Presented elders, What are your opinion about this matter?" Ma Xiao Kong, the patriarch of Ma n, asked to the elders.

    Patriarch, this is a golden chance whiches in a hundred years. If we could get our hands on this treasure, not only our n power soar to the sky but also our rebellion against Royal n will seed," One of the elders said.

    Hmm, but patriarch, we should not put all of our eggs in one basket. What will happen if the news of treasure is a hoax?" argued someone.

    " Second Elder, although your argument sounds right, we need to take risks for a better reward. Otherwise think about it, why an expert at Pce realm will appear there?"

    " But we need to calcte the casualties that will happen during this expedition. Don''t forget, the inner region of Deep-sky forest is full of high-rank ferocious beasts and demonic beasts."

    " Hmm, I think I have a way to lessen our casualties." an elder said.

    " Really?" everyone eximed.

    " ording to you, the light pir was formed by the treasure. Don''t you remember, when the light appeared, all the beast were frightened and retreat to the forest? The treasure must have the power to repel the beasts. If we can reach the perimeter of the treasure quickly, the danger from the beasts will lessen."

    " What the first elder said is true, but what if we can''t use the treasure? We don''t know anything about this."

    " If we can''t use the treasure, we could use it to curry favor with those peoples. Those people must know something about this."

    " The only problem remained now is, How we are going to face the mysterious expert, who ising for the transaction?"

    "He doesn''t know that we also know about the treasure and the key. We will go to that ce and grab the treasure before hees to our n. If he asks about the meteorite, we will say that we sold it to another expert."

    " All right, everything is settled. Prepare all disciples and elders for the expedition."

    " Yes, Patriarch."

    .....................................

    Yang Shi was very busy during thest ten days.

    " Finally, I got the tailor-made cultivation technique. Its name is [ Basic Qi cirction art ]. It''s the most basic way to cultivate Qi and bing a cultivator. Since I can''t use those top techniques, I will try this method."

    As Yang Shi started to using this method, he could feel the Qi around him. Sadly, no matter what he did, the Qi disperses within his body, He couldn''t circte in his body." What divine body, This body is divine TRASH. What the hell I am gonna do now? Wait a second, Why I don''t practice the martial arts from earth?!!". After Yang Shi awakened in this world, He was astonished to find that he remembered every book rted to martial arts, which he used to read at the Old man''s house.

    Earth''s martial arts are different from cultivation techniques. Martial arts separated by two types, body arts and internal energy arts. Body arts aremon. It consisted of attacking, defending, and agile movement through arms and legs.

    Internal energy arts are rare. It helps the user to circte the power which is inside of humans from primordial time. It is vastly different from cultivators, who absorbs the Qi of heaven and earth. Of course, In the long run, cultivators will be stronger than a martial artist. Yang Shi picked an attack-type body art [ Ghost fist ]

    and an agility type leg art [ Wind parting footwork ]. Yang Shi chose these because these two are low-grade martial arts and fast to learn. Martial arts has four grade. Mortal, Master, Earth, and Heaven.

    Each grade has four-levels, Initial, Middle, Advance, and High. The two technique Yang Shi chose was Master grade martial arts. Surprisingly, with constant practice, in ten days, Yang Shi reached the peak initial level of these arts, which is needed to practice of years.

    " Things of home are always best. It seems I am a martial art genius. With this level, I should be able to beat some Qi realm cultivators". Cultivators of the Qi condensation stage are just a little more powerful than mortals. In this realm, one needs to sense the surrounding Qi and draw it to the body. Then store the Qi within your flesh so that you could use it for attack, defense, and speed. Atst, guide the Qi through your meridians and knock open the gate of dantian[1]. The dantian is the permanent storage of one''s Qi, and its storing capability is ten times higher than flesh and muscles. After all these, cultivators will step into {Spiritual Ascension realm}.

    The problem is Yang Shi could sense the Qi, but he could not draw it." I will do something about it after this mess."

    While resting, Yang Shi said " Damn, you system. You showed me the mission but never appear when I call you. I really need some overpowered techniques. Is it not the way things happen generally?. Just give me some OP powers already". A light screen appeared. Seeing the screen, Yang Shi became ecstatic, But when he read the content on it, His face darkened as a pot. On the light screen written,{ You dumbass, you will get shit from this because you ain''t got any system in the first ce. These missions are given because you are very dumb to find your own way. Earn treasure with your own power, don''t whine like a sissy.}

    Yang Shi swore to beat the person to death who is behind this. As the dawn came near, Yang Shi got prepared to wee those Ma n people.

    .........................................

    || Somewhere ||

    A man with closed eyes murmured " Hmph, damned brat, wanting an OP system. Those earth''s web novels are so unrealistic. How can such a system exist? Reincarnation and possession are more feasible".

    This man was no other than Samsara Emperor, who is studying Yang Shi''s memory.

 Chapter 10: The Slaughter begins!

    Chapter 10: The ughter begins!

    Two days after the beast tide in Blusparrow kingdom, during the night, the Ma n made its move. Using a secret passage, they mobilized the entire manpower of Ma n.

    " Second Elder, everything is prepared? " The grand Elder asked quietly.

    " Yes, Our army is ready."

    " What about those Royal n''s spies?"

    " We''ve misled them, saying we are going for a military exercise."

    Mobilizing such an army, the Royal n may get suspicious about rebellion, so they have to tackle them.

    " Have you brought all the beast repelling incense sticks?"

    " Yes, Grand Elder."

    " Then prepare, we are going."

    And like this, the Ma n began their treasure-hunting expedition while being unknown that only darkness awaits them.

    || Deep Sky forest||

    " Second Elder, How much distance has remained?"

    " Hmm, that light pir must have appeared nearby."

    " Elder, there is a pack of green-eyed wolves ahead."

    " Hmph, ughter those lowly beings. Let our young peoples train here."

    Due to lots of beast repellent smoke, The party encountered fewer beasts on their way. The younger people killed some ordinary animals and low-rank ferocious beasts. They are enjoying the expedition as some training sessions when suddenly, two ear-splitting roar rang across the forest.

    " Huh, what happened?"

    " Elder, there are two high-level ferocious beasts ahead."

    " Hmph, First Elder, lead Third and Fourth Elder and kill those beasts."

    " Yes, patriarch.", As three people rushed forward, the sound of fighting came.

    " Elder, this is bad, there are two Iron Horned Rhinos behind us."

    " Charge! Kill those filthy animals."

    "PUNY HUMANS! YOU DARE TO INTRUDE OUR TERRITORY?" A roar resounded.

    " Patriarch, th-this is a demonic beast."

    " You all, search the treasure ground. Me and Grand Elder will fight this beast."

    As the party moved forward, lots of beasts attacked

    relentlessly. The demonic beasts roared " All beasts, heed mymand. Kill these intruders."

    " It seems the treasure is nearby, quickly find that ce."

    " Patriarch, there is a clear area ahead, there are also some strange stones."

    " That is the ce, quickly charge there!"

    " NO, don''t let the human go there !!!!!"

    As the party entered the clearing, all the ferocious beasts and demonic beasts stopped outside, like some strange force was preventing them from entering the area. After roaring and snarling some time, the beasts slowly left the area.

    " Patriarch, it seems this area is really magical."

    " Patriarch, something has drawn over the stones."

    On the stones, there are some scribblings and some strange drawings.

    " What is this? all the drawings are so ugly."

    *Meh* " What do you know? Maybe these are ancient letters and symbols." some elder snorted.

    " Then the treasure must be very powerful."

    " Maybe"

    All the manpower of Ma n gathered in this small area. They are searching for some clues of the treasures, but they could not able to find it. As they started to be anxious, Someone said

    " Patriarch, it seems we forgot to use the key. Where is the meteorite?"

    " Ah, yes, Take out the meteorite." Ma Xiao Kong ordered.

    As they brought the meteorite something strange happened. From a high dune, dirt and soil began to fall, and revealed the mouth of a cave.

    " Patriarch, LOOK, there is a cave."

    " Everybody, wait outside. All the elders, follow me into the cave."

    " Yes, Patriarch."

    As they entered the cave, a bloody stench hit their nose. The smell of blood is so strong that some elders felt nauseated.

    " What the hell with this smell? Just how many people died here?"

    " I am getting a bad premotion."

    Suddenly, scream and battle cry rang outside. Peoples are howling in pain and crying for help, like a bloody battle is happening outside.

    " Wh-Whats happening outside?"

    " It seems somebody attacked our army, shit."

    "Get back! RETREAT."

    " Since you all havee this far, Why going back so early?" A deep sound resonated through the dark cave, hearing that sound all the elders including Ma Xiao Kong shivered and their hair stood at its end...................

    || Outside ||

    " Do you think we will find the hidden treasure?"

    " Of course, we will find it and after that we will raid on the Royal n, ke ke ke "

    " After this mission, I am going to take rest."

    " Hmph, You want to rest? You are certainly going to fool around flower pavilion''s girls." Another one snorted.

    He He " Bro, you know, those women are so sexy, all I want to push them down and do it crazily."

    As they are chatting happily, the bush behind them rustled.

    " Huh, what''s that?" As they searched, A green-eyed wolf appeared.

    " Hmph, This beast, I can kill it single-handed."

    " But, don''t the Green-eyed wolf appears in gro-...

    Before he finished his sentence, seven wolves hopped on them.

    " Damn it, kill them all!"

    *AWOOOOO* a howl resounded as arge wolf appeared. It looks simr to Green-eyed wolves but it isrger than them by five times.

    " Holy, its an Alpha King, a top grade ferocious beast, get back!"

    the roars of beasts sounded all around them, like a beast tide is charging at them.

    " Loo-LOOK, T-TH-THAT''S A DEMONIC BEAST!!!!!"

    *HAHAHAHA*

    "stupid humans, you fell in our trap. All the beasts, kill them, and avenge ourte brothers."

    *ROOAAAAR* *HOOOWWL* *SCREECH*

    As the bestial sound came, chaos erupted inside of Ma n''s army.

    "Damn. its a trap!!"

    "Hurry, inform the patriarch and RETREAT!"

    s, everything was futile. Seven demonic beasts, thirty high-level ferocious beasts, and others can threaten the entire Blue Sparrow Kingdom. ughtering such an army was very easy for them.

    " NO..NO, please, let me go, I DON''T WANNA DIE- arrgh. As blood sttered, beasts became more aggressive. Somebody died due to his heart being wed out, another one''s brain was eaten. Blood, intestine, brain liquid, organs are littered the ground, making like the aftermath of carnage and inhumane butchery. From a high ce. Yang Shi was watching all the scenes. Even in his previous life, he hadn''t seen such bloodbath. But the strange thing is Yang Shi is feeling ted by watching such a scene. He felt like a demon who ughter and bath in blood." Such an unsettling feeling. What is happening to me? How I can feel happy by watching this?" As he was thinking he saw a person managed to escape from a beast. Yang Shi looked at that person with astonished eyes as he remembered something. Then his eyes grew red as uncontroble anger blinded him. With a jump, he ran towards that person. He was unknown that due to his anger, deep down within him, a fiery red lily''s petal shone with red light.

 Chapter 11: A Mortals scheme can cause a bloodbath...

    Chapter 11: A Mortal''s scheme can cause a bloodbath...

    The person was a middle-aged man with a wrinkled face and white attire. Yang Shi looked closely and he remembered that the person was none other than the head butler of Long n''s patriarch, uncle Wang.

    " Wait, Wasn''t he supposed to be dead? What is doing he doing here with Ma n?"

    " NO, this can''t be-

    A possibility struck to his mind [ Could it be that uncle Wang is a traitor ]. But more he thought, the clearer his mind got. The news, that Long n got a treasure, The sudden attack on Long n''s estate, the way all intruders avoided rms and blocked the escape path, these all things directed that there was a mole in the Long n. But Yang Shi never even imagined that, Uncle Wang was the traitor. " But, he was the most trusted person of Patriarch Long. The whole n respected him like an elder, Yet he chose to betray the n?" Yang Shi hated these kinds of betrayal. Either because he took the memory of Long Xuan, or some other thing, Yang Shi started to be disgusted and angry. His eyes turned crimson. He picked something from the ground, and dashed toward uncle Wang. From thest few days, Yang Shi crazily practiced { The wind Parting Footwork}. In the beginning stage, this martial art can increase the agility of a person by three times. Withplete mastery, The practitioner can move fast like the wind. The second technique { Ghost Fists } is an offense type of martial art which in the beginning stage can increase the power and speed of punches by two times. In the perfection stage, one can create eight illusory fist while attacking. Yang Shi has attained the beginning stage of these two martial arts so he can already defeat cultivators of the seventh level the Qi condensation realm. Yang Shi rushed there with his full speed and caught to Uncle Wang within no time. Uncle Wang was surprised to see someone in front of him. The first thing he thought to use him as a meat shield to lure away the beasts but slowed after what he heard.

    " Traitor Wang, you dare to fake your death and collude with Ma n?!!!! "

    " Wh-Who are you? How did You recognize me?"

    Of course, he never thought that someone would recognize him at such a ce. " You-You are Long Xuan!!! How can you alive???" He was surprised.

    " Heh, since such traitorous bastard like you is alive, Why can''t I?" Then without wasting any time, He threw a punch at Uncle Wang.

    " Heh, you, a cripple will fight me? Laughable!!" With a sneer, uncle Wang Didn''t dodge, epting the punch of Yang Shi.

    BAM!!

    Uncle Wang staggered backward a few steps while looking astonishingly at Yang Shi.

    " You- You started cultivation, No, Wait, there wasn''t any Qi fluctuations. How did you do it?"

    " Think about this in hell!"

    " Hmph, are you thinking to defeat me with this?" saying this, a violent aura erupted from Uncle Wang as he punched to Yang Shi. Yang Shi used his arm to block this attack.

    CRAACK!!!!

    " ARRGH"

    With a cracking sound, Yang Shi''s left arm bent in an odd angle, clearly his bone broke to pieces.

    " You have entered the Spiritual Ascension realm?!!"

    " Ahahaha, Yep brat. The patriarch of Ma n helped me to broke through the realm."

    [ Damn, I stood no chance against him. Luckily, I brought my secret weapon ]

    " Yes, with such meager power, I could not defeat you, but, killing you is still possible"

    " It seems you have gone mad. Let me send you to hell, Fireball st!"

    Cultivators of the Spiritual Asision realm can use magic arts to convert Qi into various elements like creating a fireball or control wind to attack. Uncle Wang''s control over such technique still shallow, so he needs some time to cast it. Seizing the moment Yang Shi stretched his right arm and something bolted out from it.

    "AHHHGGH"

    Uncle Wang screamed as that object pierced his heart. Soon his body started to cken, and consciousness began to fade.

    " Wha-What the hell this thing?" He said feebly, clearly gasping for air.

    " Heh, meet my friend, Little green, A Green scale serpent."

    "W-WHA-"

    Before finishing his word, he copsed and stopped breathing. He died due to the snake''s poison. *cough* Yang Shi coughed as he took some leaves and dripped its juice on his bloodied arm. From the dead body of Uncle Wang, a tiny serpent crawled out. Its head was big as a thumb with small red eyes, but Who can think that such a harmless little snake is a peak level ferocious beast!. With lethal poison and wind like speed, it''s a natural assassin. Yang Shi picked it up and caressed its head and said " Ahh, you are so cute yet so lethal."

    "HISSS" The snake hissed and showed it''s dissatisfaction, clearly it didn''t like to be called cute. Yang Shi asked the Demonic-man, the beast king, to give him a bodyguard. Yang Shi choose the snake because it ability of stealth and surprise attack. When Yang Shi reached the cave, The Beast King was throwing corpses of Ma Xiao Kong and other Ma n elder''s bodies in the blood pond.

    " Haha, It seems the harvest remained fruitful, Your Majesty."

    " HAHAHA, Brat, you did as you said. with all the corpses and blood, soon I will be able to activate the formation and concoct the pill."

    " Yes, Your Majesty, Now I will take my leave."

    " Yes, go and take rest. It seems You are injured, I will send you a healing fruit."

    " Thank you, Your Majesty." saying some flowery words, Yang Shi went back to take rest.

    " Such a tiring day. Hmm, from now let''s practice an Internal Energy martial art."

    ......................................

    "Senior brother, about that kid-... The ck Panther asked quietly.

    "Don''t do anything to him, he is our benefactor." said the demonic man.

    " As your wish, senior brother."

    The Demonic man sighed as he looked to the sky.

    " Humans, such treacherous beings. Even a mortal''s scheme can cause a bloodbath."

 Chapter 12: Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art

    Chapter 12: Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art

    Yang Shi sat cross-legged inside a cave. He was doing some breathing exercises to calm his mind and heart.

    [ No matter What, cultivators have more advantage against the martial artists. But the problem is, I can''t practice cultivation no matter what I do. Hmm, Wait, am I forgetting something? ] Yang Shi was thinking pensively.

    " Huh, does it means I have to train an Internal Energy art? "

    As there are four grades of Martial arts, Yang Shi picked four Heaven grade Internal Energy art manuals.

    (1) Golden Buddha Energy revolving art.

    It is a Buddhist technique that helps one to gather Internal Energy. It calm one''s mind and toughen the body. But its disadvantage is that it takes lots of time and one needs enlightenment to breakthrough further stage.

    (2) Bloodlust Demonic mantra. It is a demonic martial art which gathers the energy through ughter. It has great attack power and easy to cultivate. Yang Shi first thought to chose this but then the question is, He is still too weak to kill hundreds of people and bath in blood.

    (3) Yin Maiden Purple Energy Art. This energy art is suitable for females. So Yang Shi can''t practice.

    (4) Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art. This Internal energy art is very unusual. The creator of this art was unknown. But it defies human body structure. One needs an entire set of extra meridians for channeling energy. This means ordinary humans of earth can''t practice this unless they have a special type of body. " That''s it. I am going to practice this." The reason Yang Shi chose this because the human cultivator of this universe has the perfect body for this martial arts.[ It is written that to cultivate faster, one needs to ....

    *Gulp* Yang shi''s throat dried after reading further.

    Then a light screen appeared in front of him. [ I have forgotten about the system''s reward.]

    A light screen popped out.

    You havepleted your mission within the time.

    Reward:{ Nine saint Extreme Yang skeleton} and {Immemorial Evil Yin vein } will be given in 24 hours. The screen showed this message.

    [ Ahahahahah, with such a divine body, I will be able to cultivate.] The light screen again shed a new message appeared

    Hint: please try to use internal energy rather than spiritual Qi, to breakthrough into the Qi condensation realm. [ It is also saying the same thing. Do I really have to do this? ]

    .......................................

    " Brat, have you gone crazy?" The panther shouted.

    " Kid, Think about this. You will die if you do this." The demonic-man said.

    " No, I have decided. We are gonna do this. Also don''t you have the yellow healing fruit?"

    " But think again-

    " I have made the decision." Yang Shi dered.

    Yang Shi had brewed a terrifying n to quickly increase his strength. [ Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art ] As its name implies, It''s a very chaotic technique. A person''s body has to beplete chaos if they want to cultivate faster. This means one needs a badly damaged body to have a better foundation. After much thinking, Yang Shi finally founded a solution. He asked the panther, who was a demonic beast. to attack him with 25% of his power. A punch from Uncle Wang hadpletely crushed Yang Shi''s arm, But The panther was ten times more powerful than Uncle Wang. A slight mistake can send Yang Shi''s soul to heaven. So at first, the panther was unwilling to do this, but he agreed on Yang Shi''s persuasion.

    " Okay, Everything is ready. Great ckCloud Panther, I m at your mercy."

    " Hahaha, Boy, I ming."

    Saying this, the Panther rushed toward Yang Shi and gave him a headbutt.

    BOOM!!!

    Yang shi fell like a broken kite. The attack hit his chest. Due to the impact, his internal organs turned to mush. Not even a bone remained intact.

    " Boy, are you alive?" The panther asked worriedly.

    "y-yes." Yang Shi said feebly.

    *phew* " How are you feeling? Do you want to eat the healing fruit?" the panther asked.

    "N-not..now"

    " What will we do next?"

    " Take me to the blood pond and ask His Majesty to activate the ancient formation."

    " Why?" The demonic-man asked after he heard this.

    " To refine the Blood vitality pill, you have gathered enough blood. But without resolving the w in the ancient formation, you can''t concoct it."

    " WHAT? There was a w in the formation??" The demonic-man was surprised.

    " Yes, just quickly take me there and I will tell you."

    In the middle of four bronze pir, was the blood pond.

    The blood pond was now overflowing with blood, mostly filled with blood of Ma n''s people. Yang Shi quickly identified some ces around the pirs and asked The demonic man to activate the formation.

    BOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!

    The entire cave began to tremble and the spiritual qi came rushing into it. The blood pond began to churn and red-smoke rose from it.

    "It activated!! THE FORMATION STARTED." The demonic man shouted in joy.

    " His Majesty, please let me practice cultivation here. the Qi is very thick here

    " You should eat the healing fruit already." The demonic-man said with concern.

    " Please give it to me. I will eat this at the correct time. I am really not going to die." Yang Shi said with confidence.

    " As you wish."

    " Let''s go."

    After everybody left, Yang Shi bit a piece of yellow fruit. The healing energy spread through his body.

    Yang Shi was still bleeding as that little chunk of fruit can''t heal him even 10%. But its enough to stop his internal bleeding. Then Yang Shi tried to invoke his inner energy as the method described ith manual.

    In the beginning of creation, only chaos existed. When Heaven and Earth split apart, the chaotic energy gave birth to everything. The five elements, Lightning and Wind, Yin and Yang, Time and space, Life and death separated and became individual energy. The human body''s cell contained the most primitive energy.

    From the center of the left foot to the center of the right palm. Then the center of the right foot to the center of the left palm. After that, all the way to the forehead and all energy conjoined to the abdomen region, The DanTian.

    Yang Shi''s mind entered in a wonderful state as he t used the method of [ Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art ], and soon, strands of silvery grey energy began to flow throw the body of Yang Shi.

 Chapter 13: Breakthrough and Awakening

    Chapter 13: Breakthrough and Awakening

    Yang Shi sensed the Internal energy coursing through his body. Tiny strands of silvery energy are like a rippling wave, awakening every cell of his body.

    To enter the first stage, Yang Shi would need to assimte the body and mind, absorbing the [ Primitive Energy] in them. He would wash his body with the [Primitive Energy] and increase the resolution in his spirit. This would not only change the whole structure of his body from his flesh and muscles to his bone marrows, but also train his internal energy to break into the next realm and attain enlightenment.

    An unknown amount of time has passed. Yang Shi was still revolving his energy. The light screen appeared and the countdown started.

    Reward bestowment starts in: 3..2..1

    || Somewhere ||

    Samsara Emperor opened his eyes. He grinned and said," This kid finally finished the first task. I should reward him." He waved his hand and a golden rune appeared.

    "Go." The rune broke through the void and disappeared. After it crossed the incalcble distance, it appeared above Yang Shi''s head and drilled into it. Yang Shi, Who was immersed in his meditation, didn''t notice it.

    ..........

    The strands of energy interconnected with each other and became longers strings, Which connected four limbs, The Five Viscera and Six Bowels, The Seven Apertures, each of his body cells are now connected with the internal energy strings. Yang Shi has entered the realm, Where he had the absolute control of his every body part. His body has be so agile and flexible that he could twist his body like no ordinary human could do. When Yang Shi opened his eyes, he saw all of his wound has healed. As Yang Shi stretched his body, cracking sound came from his bones. He swung his fist and punched the nearby wall.

    BOOOM!!!

    A hole appeared on the cave wall. Remember, The rocks inside of the cave is very hard, but Yang Shi made a hole with his punch. Of course, Yang Shi used [ Ghost Fist ] to increase his power.

    " Let''s try this." Yang Shi concentrated and punched again.

    BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

    Eight consecutive holes appeared on the wall. This is the pinnacle of [ Ghost Fist ]. Making eight strikes through one punch. Then he channeled his internal energy to his feet and activated [ Wind Parting Footwork ].

    WOOOSH!!

    Yang Shi dashed out of the cave with the speed of wind.

    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    Yang Shiughed hard as we traversed a few hundred meters within a breath of time. Some beasts started by the sudden appearance of him. Yang Shi swiftly traveled back to the cave. He saw that the ancient formation has stopped working and the blood pond has dried. He had already guessed what happened, still he asked the Demonic-man.

    " Ah, You have awakened? It has been three days, You know?" The Demonic-man said.

    " WHAT?!! THREE DAYS?" Yang Shi was astonished. Now he understood that in those wuxia novels, How those cultivators enter in meditations for thousands of years.

    " About the blood pond....." Yang Shi inquired.

    " Yesterday, The pill has been refined. There was seven Blood Vitality pills were concocted. I ate two and distributed the rest to other demonic beasts. Here, This one is for you." Demonic-man said happily.

    " Thanks for your benevolence, Your Majesty. But I can''t have it, as I am still very weak."

    " Oh, too bad." The Demonic-man said.

    " Then, I shall take leave." Yang Shi went back to the blood pond. He sat cross-legged and started to channel the Internal energy. Then he did something insane. The cultivators of the Qi condensation realm circte their Qi in the meridians and knock open the gate of DanTian, to reach the [ Spiritual Ascension realm ]. But Yang Shi circted the Internal Energy as the substitute of Qi, to reach the Spiritual Ascension. He didn''t know what would happen, but he still gave it a try.

    [ Gather all energy, Circte through the meridians, Knock open the gate of DanTian ]

    As he used all energy to knock open the DanTian, beckoned to him, ck runes appeared all over his body. It seems like the ck runes are suppressing Yang Shi''s body from reaching the next realm. But at the moment, Yang Shi''s forehead shed and, a golden rune appeared. The light spread from the golden rune and, it collided against the ck runes.

    This Golden rune was the same rune that Samsara Emperor send to Yang Shi. Yang Shi didn''t noticed the battle between the golden and ck runes, His focus was to knock open the DanTian. He tried again and again, Ten times, Thiry times, Hundred times, he didn;t stopped.

    ARRRGH!

    Yang Shi roared as he squeezed out every drop of internal energy and condensed it. The silvery internal energy strings are now congealed as a bright silver river. Yang Shi charged the silver river to the DanTian. At the same moment, the golden rune shone brightly and temporarily suppressed the ck runes. This split moment is enough for Yang Shi.

    CRACK! CRACK! CRAAAAAAAAAAAACCKK!

    The gate could not able to withstand such pressure and broke apart. The silvery internal energy gushed inside the DanTian like floodwater. Yang Shi felt like millions of stars exploded in his mind, at the same time.

    ONNNNNNNNNNGGGGG!!!!!!!!

    The internal energy turned into a silver maelstrom and, filled the whole DanTian. Then it slowly dispersed. When the gate of DanTian broke, the ck runes also shattered to pieces. The golden rune slowly came back to Yang Shi''s forehead and vanished. Yang Shi opened his eyes and it shone with brilliance. One of his pupils was azure blue, and the other one was fiery red. Then it slowly became normal. Of course, Yang Shi didn''t know anything about it. Yang Shi meditated and he became excited to find that now he can draw the spiritual Qi or the world. Yang Shi concentrated, and the Qi came gushing into his DanTian. He channeled the Qi to his left arm and punched.

    BOOOM!

    A deep hole appeared on the cave wall. Its power is even greater than the internal energy. Yang Shi is very excited now as he took the first step towards the path of cultivation.

    " Finally. I have reached [ Spiritual ascension realm ] "

    .........................................

    || Faraway ce||

    The ce was like an immortal scenery. Majestic floating clouds, heavenly pces, Flying immortal cranes could be seen here. A heaven soaring mountain stood at the middle.

    A loud boom heard all across the expanse.

    " What the -

    All people shocked what they saw.

    " Heavens, How could that happen? I am not dreaming, right?"

    .......

    " Elder, this is bad. One of the saint mountains has exploded.!!!"

    " WHAT!!!!"

    ................

    " Patriarch, about this......"

    " What happened has happened. Don''t dwell on this anymore."

    The patriarch said withplicated emotions.

    " The seal of cultivation has broken. It seems even if heavens abandoned him, fate hasn''t." an old man with white beard said with closed eyes. hearing the old man, the patriarch''s sighed deeply.

    " No matter What, nes first."

    " You can''t ovee the destiny. See? He is alive and even started cultivation." The old man sighed.

    " Can you tell his location?" Patriarch asked with an agitated tone.

    " I can''t. I will be affected by the Karma." The old man shook his head.

    " However....." The old man concentrated as he calcted something. Then he snapped open his eyes and vomited blood.

    " Elder?!!!!!!, Are you ok?" Patriarch rmed by sudden situation.

    " I- I can only see a ming sword floating above a crimson flower. NO, Th-This is IMPOSSIBLE. Could it be... Its HIM, The EMPEROR." The old man murmured as he looked at the distant sky.

 Chapter 14: First Step

    Chapter 14: First Step

    Yang Shi finally relieved to know that he can cultivate.

    " Since I can cultivate, I don''t need to practice [ Origin Chaos Energy gathering art], right?" Yang Shi thought.

    " No, there must be something extra in this." Yang Shi decided to continue practicing it. The second phase of [ Origin Chaos Energy gathering art] is the body remolding phase. There are seven stages in this phase. Skin tempering, Flesh transformation, Blood saturation, Inner organ strengthing, Bone forging, Meridian opening, Wisdom awakening, these are the seven stages. One needs to diligently practice the internal energy method, go through hellish training and torture and external help to pass through this phase. Yang Shi is not very worried about this, for the time being. He wanted to choose a good cultivation method. Yang Shi sat cross-legged and searched through the memory of Samsara Emperor.

    *Bloop*

    A light screen appeared. But this time, it was nk.

    " Yoh, Brat. sup?" a deep voice said.

    " WHO?!!!!!" Yang Shi jumped like a frightened cat.

    " It''s me. Rx." the voice said again.

    " Oh, it''s you. Yan Jian." Yang Shi said sarcastically.

    " Hehe. It seems you have learned something from my memory. But call me Samsara Emperor, kay?" Yes, it was Samsara Emperor.

    Yang Shi was speechless." Why are you talking like some hooligan of earth?"

    " Ahahahaha, Its very fun to talk like this. gotcha?" The Emperorughed.

    " Why are you here?" Yang Shi asked.

    " I am here to see your progress." The Emperor said.

    " Progress? Fucking progress!! First, You tell Why the hell you gave me such a trash body?" Yang Shi yelled.

    " Trash body? This body is a peerless body from the Immemorial era. You are calling it trash?" The Emperor harrumphed.

    " Peerless body? Oh please, Don''t mess with me. I could have never practice cultivation if I hadn''t used [Origin Chaos Energy gathering art]." Yang Shi snorted.

    " Brat, Do you think cultivation is child''s y? Furthermore, Your body is heavily suppressed by a powerful force. I have already helped you by lifting its first seal." The Emperor said.

    " How many seals are on me?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Three. Each is greater than the previous, by a thousand times." Emperor said seriously.

    *Che* " Life is not easy, even if I am in a cultivation world." Yang Shi sighed.

    " YOU, Just what u need more? You have my memory, which has everything. You have a powerful physique, Which can practice cultivation with a heavenly speed. And you have Three Immortal treasures. Just WHAT you need more?" The Emperor screamed.

    " Fine, fine. I will see it." Yang Shi said with a nd face. But he was very excited inwardly.

    *Hmph*

    " I am going. Both Extreme Yang Skeleton and Yin vein, was inside the golden rune and, always keep practicing[ [Origin Chaos Energy gathering art]."

    " Golden rune? Hey, what rune?" Yang Shi asked. Unfortunately, The voice vanished among with the screen.

    *Meh* " Such a crow. Since he has said that, It seems I am a genius after all." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    " Since that is the case, Money, Power, Beauties, I aming." Yang Shiughed maniacally. He has taken the first step towards the path of cultivation.

    ....................................

    *Bruh*

    " Such a noisy brat." Samsara Emperor scowled, after he returned to the cosmos mirror.

    " Anyway, He has at least learned some basic things. Now..." Samsara Emperor looked deeply into the ce.

    " Xiao Yan, Are you finally free to meet me?" A sweet and charming voice said. A beautifuldy materialized from thin air.

    " You are too weak to trap me into an illusion." Emperor said with a t tone.

    *Hump* " I knew it. You don''t love me anymore." Thedy wept bitterly. Then she vanished.

    " Master, I am back." This time a young man appeared. The Emperor didn''t even budge a little.

    " Master, Did I do something wrong? Why are you not talking with me?" The Young man asked worriedly.

    " Master, please don''t abandon me. For me, you are the most important person in the world."

    Still, Samsara Emperor didn''t showed no emotion.

    " Xiao Yan, What about me?" A voice of a girl said.

    This time, The Samsara Emperor shuddered.

    " You never expected that, It''s me, right?" The girl said flirtatiously and wrapped her arms around the neck of the Emperor.

    She looks like a young girl, with bright red hair and deep ck eyes. Her has voluptuous breasts stood proudly. With slender waist and snow-white skin, she enough to capture the heart of men.

    " So, You are truly alive." Yan Jian ( The Samsara Emperor) said emotionally. Then suddenly, his eyes turned cold as he turned and mped the neck of the girls, with his hand.

    " I killed you back then. I can still kill you now." He uttered coldly.

    " Yes, You killed me back then. You can have the power to kill me now, but you can''t." Thedy said calmly.

    " Oh, really?" The Emperor smirked.

    " Young Master Yan, Can you still kill your beloved Hong''er?" Thedy said sweetly. Somehow, she vanished from where she stood and hugged Yan Jian from behind.

    " Just why?" Yan Jian showed an expression of pain and sorrow.

    " You know its necessary. And in the end, Didn''t you got all the things?" Thedy said with a distant tone.

    " I got all those things, but at what price?"

    " Great things demands sacrifices." Thedy said with a firm tone.

    " So, you couldn''t bear to kill me again." Thedy changed the topic.

    " Don''t doubt me. From thest time, Love or hate, we owe nothing to each other." Yan Jian coldly uttered.

    " Aww, Young master Yan, How can you be so heartless? How can you forgot those days?" Thedy asked innocently, like Yan Jian betrayed her.

    " I don''t remember anything like that." Yan Jian said tly.

    " Ho- How can you forget? Those summer days when we practiced sword dance together, Those autumns morning when I recited poetry and you yed the zither, Those wintery nights when we became one, and those spring morning when we walked around holding the hands of each other. How can you forget those?" The girl wept as she punched Yan Jian''s chest.

    " I.....'' Yan Jian also mused those distant memories.

    " I KNEW IT. YOU STILL LOVE ME AFTER ALL." The girl''s expression turned 180 degrees as she showed a proud expression.

    " You-... Yan Jian, the great Samsara Emperor, stumbled down.

    " YAY. I WON." THE GIRL LAUGHED.

    " Women, such abstruse creatures."

 Chapter 15: The Journey Begins...

    Chapter 15: The Journey Begins...

    Yang Shi went to the demonic man to bid farewell.

    " Your Majesty. Since everything is ok, I shall take my leave." Yang Shi said with respect.

    " Oh, you want to leave?" the Demonic king said without any surprise.

    " Yes."

    " Since You want to leave, I will not stop you." The Demonic King said.

    " But before you leave, Let me give you some gifts." The Demonic king added.

    " Gifts?" Yang Shi was surprised.

    " Yes,e with me." He asked Yang Shi to follow him. He led Yang Shi to a cave. The cave filled with various kinds of weapons, armors, and other misceneous things.

    " These things are from those cultivators, Who died here." The Demonic king stated.

    " Wow, That''s a lot." Yang Shi was astonished. At least a thousand cultivators died here. That''s a lot.

    " These things are garbage for beasts. So you can have them."

    " Really?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " Yes, as much as you like." The Demonic King nodded.

    " Thank You. For your grace, Your Majesty." Yang Shi bowed to him. Then Yang Shi jumped to the pile of stuff to search for some good stuff.

    " Hmm, This sword is rusty. That''s a broken saber. This dagger''s material isn''t good." Most of them have already turned to scrap metals. Still, Yang Shi continued to search. Then his eyes fell on something. Yang Shi dashed like a greedy thief and grabbed a bottle. It was a white vial, looking like its made from porcin. It was smooth and shiny.

    " Aha, It seems luck is in favor of me. This Vial can store pills and elixir of spiritual affinity. This thing is perfect, to store *That*." Yang Shi smirked.

    Yang Shi also picked two swords, one saber and three knives aside from the vial. Then he started to collect gold coins, which were lying in heaps. Ten gold coins are enough for an ordinary family of Blue sparrow Kingdom to live happily for a year.

    " AH, GOLD!!!!" Yang Shi screamed with happiness and rolled over it. Hell, Its gold, FREAKIN GOLD. Yang Shi never thought that he would own such arge amount of gold. Yang Shi calcted and found that the total was around ten thousand gold coins.

    " I AM RICH!!!!!" Yang Shi shouted in happiness. He found a sack and filled it with gold coins. " Too bad, I don''t have those space rings which store things."

    For thest time, He went to the altar and the blood pond. He circled the four ancient pirs, trying to find something. Then he stopped at a ce and looked carefully. Then he took out the white vial and stored something in it. He closed the vial and walked out of the cave.

    " Ok, Farewell. Thanks for the hospitality you have shown." Yang Shi bade farewell to all the beast and set out.

    ....................

    Within a lush green forest, a young man stood, with a confused face.

    " Man, Where am I?" Naturally, he is Yang Shi. With a saber and two swords in the waist, Yang Shi looked like a warrior. But his clothes are too dirty and ragged, mismatching his looks.

    Before he set out, He asked about the terrain of the Deep Sky forest. As its name implies, This forest is like a vast sky. Even the demonic king hasn''t explored the entire forest. Luckily, he knows the way to the next kingdom. Yang Shi was following his instructions, Yet after two hours, he lost.

    " Fuck, Where is the junction he mentioned?"

    With { Wind Parting Footworks} Yang Shi can travel 100 miles per day. Butpared to the vast forest, its nothing.

    " Oh, the spirit of Bear Grylls, show me the way." Suddenly, he heard the sound of the water.

    " The rule of survival, Follow the river." Yang Shi started to follow the river, in the hope of finding some vige. Soon he reached an old vige. Yang Shi was relieved to find a human civilization. "Thank God, I have watched a hundred episode of ''Man vs Wild'' It didn''t go to waste after all."

    " Young man, are you a traveler?" a person asked Yang Shi, after he reached there.

    " Um, Yes. I am a young traveler." Yang Shi said with a smile. " Is there a ce I can rest for a night?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Yes. There is an inn nearby." The person said.

    " Thank You." Yang Shi greeted him and went to take a tour around. He first went to a clothing store and bought a costly robe of five gold coins. " Since I am rich, I will live rich." Yang Shi always wanted to feel like a rich person, as his past life was full of struggle. He bought a blue robe with red patterns, and a pitch-ck robe. After some shopping, Yang Shi went to the inn.

    The inn was full of people. Yang Shi went there and sat in the corner of a restaurant, looking at the scenery outside. He asked for some meat and a good wine. Yang Shi was a chain smoker and a drinker, in his previous life. He also wanted to try the wine of the cultivation world. But Yang Shi was disappointed. The wine from the small inn was nothing special, it was even slightly weak in taste, for someone like Yang Shi, who had drunk strong alcohols, the wine was even a bit difficult for him to drink! [ This is the wine of the cultivation world? *Meh* It can''tpare to those aged rum and vodka. Not strong enough. It''s just aromatic.] Yang Shi evaluated in his mind. And look, people are drinking it happily, and some even became tipsy. Yang Shi sighed. Then he went to the innkeeper to ask for a room.

    " My apologies, dear customer. All of our rooms are full." The Innkeeper said with a sad tone.

    Yang Shi came out of the inn and moved along with the road, finding a ce to spend a night.

    " Wow, This vige is so big." Yang Shi eximed. Without realizing it, Yang Shi walked into a remote alley. This alley was a bit shabby and was extremely unremarkable.

    " Umm, does sir want a ce to rest? Our rooms are very clean, and the price is exceptionally cheap. Come and have a look!" Yang Shi was in the midst of walking when a small door opened, and a girl appearing fourteen to fifteen years old, shyly peeked out. " Hmm, How do you know, That I am finding a ce to rest? Are you following me from the inn?" Yang shi asked.

    " Umm.. N..No, You looked tired." The girl answered clumsily. This girl couldn''t count as beautiful, just ordinary. She was extremely thin, and herplexion was a little pale.

    It was clear that she had some malnutrition problems. But her eyes were extremely lively, and they made people feel pity for her.

    " Oh, I see. It sounds like you''ve been waiting to say those words for a long time." Yang Shiughed. His words were said extremely stiffly. This girl had only summoned the courage toe out when she saw someone looking like a customer, was passing. But then seeing Yang shi''s evil smile, a trace of panic filled her.

    "I I" The girl clenched her robes, afraid to say anything. Yang Shiughed. It seems his new face, scared the little girl.

    " No need to be afraid. I''m not a good person.... But I''m not a bad person either." Yang Shi said.

    Hearing the first half of the sentence, the girl became more afraid, but she relived after hearing the whole.

    " Does Sir want a ce to spend a night?" She asked again, hope appearing in her eyes.

    "You are saying so clumsily. Well, I will check it fist before agreeing." Yang Shiughed.

    " Yes, yes, please enter!" The girl hastily led the way with delight. Yang Shi walked inside and in the first look, he thought [ This ain''t an inn.] How was this an inn? It was clearly a small farmer''s yard. There was a two-story wooden house. It was some farming tools on the floor. But this ce was very tidy. Entering the house, he walked up to the second floor. There were two rooms. Yang Shi opened the door and the first thing he saw, was a pink underwear and a bra.

    *Bang* The girl hastily closed the door and said the next room. Yang Shi pretended to not seeing anything. The girl opened up a door, revealing a bed. And then... there was nothing else, not even a table. It could not be more simple. There were sheets on the bed, and they were very orderly, but they were clearly not new. However, they had been cleaned very well. Looking out of a very small window, he saw a small pond with a small boat floating on the water. It wasn''t a bad picture. Are you satisfied? If there''s anything you''re not happy with, just ask and I''ll do my best to fix it!" said the girl worriedly.

    "How much is this room?" asked Yang Shi.

    An embarrassed look crept over the girl''s face. Gulping, she stuttered, "How about Ten coppers for one day?"

    "...."

    Although people don''t have much gold here still people have silver. One gold coin is equal to a thousand silver, and one silver coin equal to a hundred coppers. Ten coppers are too cheap.

    " Ten coppers a day?" Yang Shi frowned.

    "Ah, if you think it''s too expensive, we can discuss it!" The girl jumped in fright, afraid he might leave.

    " No, It''s...Too cheap. How about fifty silvers?" Yang Shi asked.

    "...."

    Chapter 16: Unexpected Discovery

    " Sir, You should not make..such jokes." The girl replied with a flustered face. She couldn''t believe Yang Shi''s word about fifty silver coins.

    " Well, I have a lot of money to squander." Yang Shi said with a t tone. Hearing that Yang Shi wasn''t mad about the price, the girl was extremely grateful. She sadly exined, "My grandpa saved up for many years in order to buy this property. We hoped to turn it into an inn to make some money. But my grandpa is old, yet he goes to the forest to collect herbs to sell. I hope to run this inn well enough to provide for my grandpa. Hehe, you''re our first guest." The girl couldn''t conceal her excitement. Pulling Yang Shi into her inn made her extremely happy.

    " Just prepare a hot bath for now." Yang Shi already had dinner. So all he wants to take a bath and sleep early.

    " As you wish, Sir." The girl replied happily.

    " Don''t call me, Sir. Call me, Umm, Young Master Yang." Yang Shi said while thickening his skin.

    " Ok, Young Master Yang." The girl said sweetly.

    Yang Shi was embarrassed to hear such a call, nevertheless, he didn''t show his feelings. [ It feels so good to be called, Young Master.] Yang Shi thought inwardly. After the bath, Yang Shi felt refreshed. It has been over two weeks since he came to this world, yet he didn''t even bathed once.

    As Yang Shi wore his newly brought robe, he looked at himself in the mirror.

    " Not bad. Looks good." Yang Shi was very satisfied with his current look. " Young Master Yang, do you want dinner?" The girl meekly asked, but she surprised to see Yang Shi in a blue robe. [ He came with a tattered dress, and now he is in a costly robe.] The girl was mused in her thoughts When Yang Shi''s shout interrupted her.

    " Hello? What were you saying?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Ah, Young Master Yang, do you want dinner?" the girl asked again.

    " No, My stomach is full." Yang Shi declined it.

    " By the way, what is your name?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Young Master can call me Xin Xin." the girl replied bashfully.

    " Xin Xin, a good name." Yang Shi said.

    " Wher is your grandpa? I haven''t seen him yet?" Yang Shi asked Xin Xin.

    " Grandpa has gone to the forest to collect herbs. He should back till tomorrow." Xin Xin guessed.

    " We are alone tonight?" Yang Shiughed.

    " Yes, We....." *Gasp*

    Midway of her sentence, Xin Xin understood. She never spent a night, alone with a stranger. Now, She began to shudder, thinking countless possibilities.

    " I...I...know, Young Master is not a bad person." The girl said meekly.

    " Oh, How did you know?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

    " You said previously...That you are not a bad guy?" The girl replied. It seems even she doesn''t believe her own words.

    " So, now I say, I am a bad guy, Okay?" Yang Shi grinned.

    "...." Xin Xin was on the verge of tears.

    " Ok, ok, I was just joking." Yang Shi consoled the adorable girl. " Ok, go to sleep now." Yang Shi said.

    Yang Shi''s and in Xin Xin''s room are face-to-face. Yang Shi even heard, Xin Xin was tightening her doorlock. Yang Shi smiled and fell on his bed. The bed wasn''t veryfy. But to Yang Shi, Who had been sleeping on a rock, is veryfortable. After many days, Yang Shi finally able to sleep soundly.

    ..............................

    " Father, am I a bad child?" The little boy of seven-year-old asked a middle aged man.

    " No, You are a good boy." The man said with a slight smile.

    " Then, Why everyone is hating me?" The boy asked innocently.

    " No, It''s not your fault. It is just fate." The man sighed. They reached a mountain cliff. In front of them was a vast expanse. The man told something to the kid, but the kid became confused.

    The man lifted up the kid by his arms and said something. Atst, he said to that kid," Son, sometimes, sacrifices are needed to great things. If You reincarnate again, don''te here...." Saying this, he threw down the boy.

    ...................................

    *Haaahaah* Yang Shi awoke, and gasped for the air. " Damn, such a bad dream. Hmm, but that man looks so familiar......" Yang shi didn''t sleep again. He sat on the bed and began to absorb surrounding Qi. He has already entered the second level of [ Spiritual Ascension realm] and began to feel the third level. Then he searched his memory to find somebat martial arts. [ Ghost Fist] has been practiced to the extreme, and it is no longer needed. He wanted to try a heaven gradebat martial arts. Body utility martial arts are moremon than internal energy arts, so there are much more heaven grade martial arts.

    " Hmm, Fist of Nine Dragons, Eighty-one Palm of Golden Buddha, Wandering Cloud Sword Dance, Roaring Saber of Destruction, Blooming Flower Spear thrusts." So many techniques. Yang Shi was bewildered, not to mention there are also countless cultivation arts and magic techniques in the memory of Samsara Emperor. But Yang Shi already has a n. He will use martial art as a foundation and cultivation techniques as a main force. With this, his power will increase drastically. Yang Shi arranged his thoughts, and finally chose an earth grade knife technique called [ Flying Feathers]

    This art lets the user move knives life feathers. Extreme speed with high lethality. With the pinnacle level of practice, the knife will disappear out of sight and can cut a droplet of water. Yang Shi didn''t choose a heaven grade technique, because it takes too much time to practice, and all of its moves are in a set. So, if one move went wrong, the entire technique will fail. So Yang Shi didn''t choose it. The sun hasn''t risen yet, so Yang Shi went to the garden to practice. Holding a knife, he channeled his internal energy to the arms and began to wave it.

    Xin Xin didn''t have a good sleep, as she was worried about Yang Shi doing any bad thing to her when she was sleeping. She also woke early and went to the garden to have some fresh air. But she was started to see Yang Shi, Who was practicing there. With a sh, he cut a branch. Xin Xin dazed as she heard a door knocking sound.

    " Xin Xin, open the door." An old voice said.

    " Grandpa." Xin Xin ran happily and opened the door. An old man of sixty stood outside of the door. His face was wrinkled and pale. He carried a big basket, which was filled with various kinds of herbs. Yang Shi also went to check out.

    " Xin Xin, Who is this Young man?" The old man asked doubtfully.

    " Grandpa, He Young Master Yang. He wanted to take some rest here." Xin Xin said.

    " Oh, pardon me." The old man said to Yang Shi.

    " No problem. How may I address you, Elder?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Ah, call me Old Fu." The old man said with a smile.

    " I will call you uncle Fu." Yang Shi said with respect.

    " As you want." Uncle Fu said with a smile.

    " What is this?" Yang Shi asked, pointing at the basket.

    "These are the herbs I picked from the mountain." Uncle Fu said.

    Yang Shi was looking at the basket when something caught his attention.

    " No way...

    Yang Shi couldn''t believe his eyes. This is the .............

 Chapter 17: Herbs! Lots of Herbs!

    Chapter 17: Herbs! Lot''s of Herbs!

    Yang Shi picked up a thing from the basket. It was an odd looking ginseng. It looked withered and had red shade around it. One would think that it was malnourished, but to Yang Shi, This is a treasure. This is a blood ginseng, which tempers the body and blood.

    " Uncle Fu, Where did you get this ginseng?" Yang Shi asked Uncle Fu.

    " Ah, This? I found it near the mountains. I brought this because it looked odd." Uncle Fu said.

    Yang Shi cut open the ginseng and saw the lines in it.

    " Holy, It''s two hundred and fifty years old."

    Back in earth, fifty years old ordinary ginseng was a costly product, and a hundred years old ones are luxury, not to mention, this is a 250-year-old one, top of being a blood ginseng. Yang Shi was ted to find such things. He also found some medicinal fruits and flowers. then he asked," Uncle Fu, I want all of these. What''s the price?"

    " You want all of these? Thirty silver coins will be ok." Uncle Fu said hesitatingly.

    " Thirty silver coins?" Yang Shi''s face went odd. Just the ginseng will cost ten gold coins.

    " Is it too pricy? We can negotiate." Uncle Fu said hurriedly.

    " Ah, No, here, take this." Yang Shi gave Uncle Fu, ten gold coins.

    " THIS-THIS....." Uncle Fu suddenly trembled to hold ten gold coins.

    " Yes, this the price." Yang Shi said with a smile.

    " But....." Uncle Fu was hesitating to receive such amount of money.

    " What is for lunch today?" Yang Shi changed the topic.

    " Rice and vegetable." Xin Xin said with embarrassment.

    Yang Shi gave her a gold coin and said " Buy some meat and keep the change."

    " Thank You, Young Master." Xin Xin said happily.

    Yang Shi went back to practice [ Flying Feathers ]

    After some time, he opened his backpack and took out a thing. It was a meteor, the same meteor from Long n.

    " Aii, little thing. You ughtered two ns. Just WHAT are you?" Yang Shi carefully looked at the meteor. He could feel something specialty in it,

    but couldn''t find what.

    " Is there something inside it?" Yang Shi tried to use [ Flying Feathers] on the meteor.

    *Swish* *Swish*

    The tip of the knife broke, yet only a scratch appeared on the rock." Fuck. A knife is gone." Yang Shi cursed. He used his hands and executed [ Ghost Fists]

    BAM1 BAM! BAM!

    " Ouch. It''s so hard." Yang Shi hissed in pain. Still, the meteor was the same as before.

    " Hmm, wait, isn''t this...Star core metal?!!" Yang Shi''s eyes went wide. ording to the memory of Samsara, This metal is very rare to find, and its good for making weapons. " Hmm, I think it is more than I think." After ying with it some time, Yang Shi went to practice [ Flying Feathers], till Xin Xin asked him for lunch.

    " Hmm, rice and meat with vegetable soup. Good. It''s delicious." Yang Shi praised Xin Xin.

    " Young Master Yang can eat how much he wants. There is still a lot." Xin Xin said happily. The lunch was simple, but Yang Shi felt home-like, after eating it.

    After eating, Yang Shi took rest for some time. While resting, he was constantly thinking about an elixir. This elixir is called [ Mortal Shedding Elixir]. Yang Shi found it in a martial arts book in his memory. This elixir helps a martial artist to train their body and make them stronger. But one needs lots of herbs to make this and, one need to bath in this elixir for three years to achieve the target. In this cultivation world, herbs are not an issue. Here, herbs are even better than the earth. But the thing is, Yang Shi can''t wait three years. There are such elixirs in the memory of the Samsara Emperor, which has better efficiency, but those ingredients are hard to find. Yang Shi wanted tobine these two things to make a new elixir.

    After taking some rest, Yang Shi headed to the mountain, where Uncle Fu had gotten the blood ginseng. This area of Deep Sky forest is rtively safe, as only some middle rank ferocious beasts roam here. Yang Shi can handle them with his current power. Yang Shi activated [ Wind Parting Footworks] and dashed to the forest. Although Yang Shi has entered [ Spiritual Ascension Realm], he still hasn''t learned how to manifest spiritual Qi. Cultivators of [ Spiritual Ascension Realm] can draw their Qi and manifest it outside of their bodies. With this ability, they can perform various magic arts, like throwing a fireball or an icicle. They can use their Qi to control any element of nature. Yang shi couldn''t do that, for now.

    Yang Shi entered the forest and started to find herbs. " Wow, a hundred year Blue Eyes Flower, Hmm, a Tri Petal ck Hibiscus, Oh, a Twisted Dragon Root." Yang Shi crazily began to collect herbs. All of the herbs are more than a hundred years old, so their medicinal energy is very potent. Yang Shi also wandered around to look for some more aged herbs. Then suddenly a roar sounded.

    *AWOOOOOO*

    A green-colored wolf suddenly appeared in front of Yang Shi. It looked at Yang Shi'' like a prey.

    " Heh, Time for some realbat." Yang Shi grinned and dashed at the wolf, and executed [ Ghost Fists]

    *BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!*

    *Awooooooo*

    The wolf howled in pain and wed the shoulder of Yang Shi. Scatch marks appeared on Yang Shi''s shoulder as his sleeves torn.

    " You damned wolf, You ruined my new robe!! Die." Yang Shi took out his knife and used [ Flying Feathers]

    *SWISH* *SWISH*

    As the knife shed, thin, red marks appeared on the wolf''s neck as blood gushed out.

    *AWOOOOOOO*

    The wolf cried painfully, as it copsed on the ground. It was a Dark Fur Wolf, a ferocious beast.

    " Your fur is good, and your meat is too." Yang Shi carried back the wolf as he spotted something.

    " Hmm, I think that''s their of the wolf." Yang Shi went there, in the hope to find some good things.

    " Hey, It''s a 500-year-old earthen mushroom and a silver Serpent Grass. Oh my god, I-Its a Crimson me fruit." Yang Shi was bewildered to see such rare herbs.

    " Huhuhuhuhuhu, Time for experiment."

 Chapter 18: Increase in strength

    Chapter 18: Increase in strength

    Yang Shi found two Crimson me fruit. Crimson me fruit can help a cultivator to advance a level. It is also an ingredient to make longevity pills, Which increases the lifespan of a cultivator. But Yang Shi has other usages for it.

    " So, all ingredients have been gathered. Let''s make the elixir."

    Yang Shi came back and asked Xin Xin to prepare hot water. This medicinal liquid had the ability to increase the strength of the physical constitution and increase the speed at which a Body Tempering Stage of [ Origin Chaos Internal Energy Art] martial artist cultivated.

    The medicinal form of [ Mortal Shedding Elixir] had been considered extinct in the earth long ago. This form was preserved in an ancient medicinal book, which the Old man has collected.

    The Samsara Emperor''s memory has lot''s of body tempering elixirs, but Yang Shi has no time to find those thousand years old nts

    Concocting medicinal liquids was different from refining medicinal pills.

    To refine medicinal pills, one would first require the formation of Pill Fire, an ability that was only achievable by graded alchemists.

    However, concocting medicinal liquids only required a form. With the knowledge of the medicinal materials required and the order in which the medicinal materials were to be prepared, anyone was capable of concocting medicinal liquids.

    Yang Shi took the form of [ Mortal Shedding Elixir] and reced the ingredients with herbs of the same characterize. Basically, he will be concocting [ Mortal Shedding Elixir] with new and powerful ingredients.

    Concocting a mutated[ Mortal Shedding Elixir] for the first time, Yang Shi clumsily wasted an hour before finally seeding in creating the medicinal liquid ording to the form from his memories

    Yang Shi poured [ Mortal Shedding Elixir] into the barrel, mixed everything thoroughly, and took off his clothes before jumping in.

    Sitting cross legged inside the barrel, Yang Shi could clearly feel his whole body numbing.

    He knew that this was the [ Mortal Shedding Elixir] fusing into his body and changing his physical constitution.

    Closing his eyes, Yang Shi started to circte his Internal energy ording to [ Origin Chaos Internal Energy Art] Under the greedy absorption of Yang Shi''s body, a barrel of medicinal bath was swiftly consumed.

    The foundations of transforming into a martial artist were the body tempering process, the strengthening of vital energy and blood, and the metamorphosis of the fleshly body.

    He shed his skin like a snake. Soon, all of his skin melted and only flesh remained. Yang Shi felt a lot of pain, yet he persisted.

    " Damn, I have made it too much potent. Thankfully I didn''t mix *that* thing."

    Three dayster, after absorbing the third barrel of medicinal liquid, Yang Shi finally stepped into the realm of the first level of Body Tempering Stage{1}

    Yang Shi got out of the barrel and stood in front of a mirror. He looked at the able-bodied figure that waspletely different than the figure from three days ago and screamed.

    " MY FACE!!! My face changed." Now the face of Yang Shi waspletely changed. Now it doesn''t look like Long Xuan''s face. It''spletely a different person. He looked more handsome now. His body was emanating a natural prideful aura. His eyes changed into purple color, with a mixture of azure blue and fiery red. It looks wicked and charming at the same time.

    He then started stretching his body and noticed that his body''s level of flexibility was astonishing.

    He haspleted [ Skin tempering stage], but the transformation was little much than Yang Shi anticipated.

    Xin Xin and Uncle Fu was surprised to see an unknown person. They couldn''t recognize Yang Shi at all. After too much of constion, They finally recognize Yang Shi.

    " Since my body has changed, I should also change my name to a cool one." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    His practice of [ Flying Feathers] also increased dramatically.

    After residing there a week, Yang Shi bad farewell to Uncle Fu and Xin Xin. Xin Xin really became emotional after hearing about the departure of Yang Shi. Yang gave them a hundred gold coins and walked away. This time he brought a map, to not to get lost again. The next stop was [ Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom].

    " That''s quite a domineering name." Yang Shi thought. Till now, Yang Shi doesn''t have any basic knowledge about this cultivation world. So he doesn''t know what an Ancient Kingdom represents.

    Yang Shi started traveling again, with a destination in his mind. [ Now, all I need a space ring.]

    .....................................

    *Haah* *Haaaah*

    A young man was cutting a corpse of a giant tiger. The tiger waspletely grey colored. The Young Man was Yang Shi, Who killed the tiger, Which was a ferocious beast.

    *che* " Too bad. I can''t store the corpse." Yang Shi sighed. From thest ten days battle with various beasts, Yang Shi is finally able to control spiritual Qi by a little. He still had a long way to go. Yang Shi has reached the third level of [ Spiritual Ascension realm]

    On the eleventh day, He heard some fighting sounds.

    " Huh, There are people here." Yang Shi rushed in that direction. He saw, two groups of peoples are fighting with each other. One group of people wore a kind of soldier''s clothing and others looked like some bandit.

    " Brothers, Today we gonna have a big harvest. Kill these soldiers." A middle aged person roared.

    " KILL. KILL."

    "Captain, We need hel-

    Before the soldier could finish his sentence, a bandit shed off his head, with his swing of the sword.

    Blood gushed out as the headless body fall to the ground. Yang Shi again felt that mysterious feeling. He became slightly ted to see the blood bath. He suddenly had the urge to rush there and start killing. Yang Shi thought, [ I should help those soldiers.] The most powerful person, the leader of bandits, looked like the seventh level of [ Spiritual Ascension realm]. So fighting with him will benefit Yang Shi and even if Yang Shi unable to win, he can still escape easily.

    Yang Shi rushed there to help. Little he knows, what unexpected thing will happen.

 Chapter 19: A painful lesson

    Chapter 19: A painful lesson

    Yang Shi rushed there with speed. But the bandits are already killed most of the soldiers. Only the captain of the troop was alive and battling.

    " Fatty Ku, Royal army will take down your head."

    " HAHA, That''s the funniest thing I heard. ck Wind Bandits doesn''t even fear gods. HAHAHA. I heard Captain Su is very powerful, but now, it looks you are so-so. Don''t worry after your death, Me and my brothers will take care of your wife. HAHAHAHA."

    " Motherfuckers, DIE." Captain Su roared as he thrust his spear to the fatty Ku.

    " HAAAH," Fatty Ku was also no pushover, he shed with saber towards Captain Su.

    " Dragon Dive."

    " Storm sh."

    Both Captain Su and Fatty Ku roared at the same time as both unleashed their techniques at the same time.

    Unfortunately, Fatty Ku sessfully shed at the chest of Captain Su. Blood gushed out as captain Su copsed.

    " Collect all the loots." Fatty Ku ordered.

    " Wait." A voice interrupted them.

    " Who are you boy? Don''t meddle with our business." a bandit hissed at Yang Shi.

    " You evil guys. I will teach you a lesson in the name of justice."

    " Ha..HAHAHAHAHAH" All bandits hollered withughter.

    " Do your hair are even grown?" One said mockingly

    " Oi, Little boy,e, drink milk."

    " HAHAHAHAHAHAHA."

    " Let''s see." Yang Shi rushed and punched one of the bandits.

    " HAHAH- But suddenly,ughter came to halt, as the bandit Yang Shi had punched, flew like a rocket. His rib cage was broken as he vomited blood.

    All bandits became serious and looked at Yang Shi maliciously.

    " Boy, don''t think about going out alive today."

    " HAAH" Yang Shi charged at the bandits.

    BAM BAM BAM

    Two bandits fell on the ground at the same time. The Third one, Who was at the Spiritual ascension realm cultivator, staggered backward. Without giving him any respite, Yang Shi fiercely kicked at the bandit''s abdomen.

    *Blehgh*

    The bandit vomited a mouthful of blood as he fainted.

    *SIII*

    The bandits sucked cold airs.

    One after another, three bandits fell. The reason for Yang Shi''s explosive power is, He refines both his body and Qi. After the skin tempering stage, his skin has be rock solid. Just his body alone can crush the seventh level of the Qi condensation realm. Seeing the prowess of Yang Shi, Fatty Ku finally bes serious as he unsheathed his saber as he shed towards Yang Shi.

    " Die. Storm sh."

    " Hmph, let''s see." Yang Shi also took out his dagger and executed [ Flying Feathers]

    *SWISH* *SWISH*

    The dagger shed and Fatty Ku screamed in agony.

    *ARRRRGH*

    His left arm became ridden with holes. [flying Feathers] has fast speed with high precision. So before Fatty Ku''s attacknded on Yang Shi, Yang Shi had already injured him. Before Fatty Ku reacted, Yang Shi already unleashed [ Ghost Fist]

    This time, he broke several bones of Fatty Ku.

    *Cough*

    Fatty Ku vomited blood as fell on his knee.

    " Ple-Please, have mercy." Fatty Ku begged.

    " Mercy? Did you mercy to them?" Yang Shi sneered.

    "I beg for forgiveness. Please spare us. We went on the wrong path. Young Noble has a great heart. We will nevermit crimes again." Fatty Ku kowtowed.

    Yang Shi had the urge to kill every bandit, he couldn''t understand why, but he could sense the rising bloodlust inside him. Yang Shi hasn''t prepared mentally to kill people, although he knew, cultivation world has the rule of the jungle. So in the end, Yang Shi decided to spare the bandits.

    " Begone. If you again do evil, I won''t spare you." Yang Shi pped Fatty Ku and began to leave.

    " Yes. Yes. I will do ording to the Young Noble''s word. We will never do any evil again." Fatty Ku said with a smile, but his eyes gave a poisonous look. He was unwilling to be humiliated like this.

    Yang Shi turned around and started walking, unaware that Fatty Ku already stood up and took out two throwing knives.

    "Fell for the trap."

    Fatty Ku finally got the chance.

    He threw a venomous look at the back of Yang Shi, gathered his remaining energy, and threw both knives at Yang Shi.

    Two knives tore through the wind as it flew towards Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi sensed something as he turned back and saw two daggersing at him with insane speed. Yang Shi''s hair stood on its end as he tried to dodge

    One dagger was aimed at his head, and another one is aimed at his head. Yang Shi''s dodge the first one, by tilting his head. But dodging the second one was very difficult. The second dagger hit on Yang Shi''s chest, just a few inches above from heart.

    "ARGH"

    Yang Shi screamed in extreme pain. The dagger came very fast, so the impact was great. Thankfully, Yang Shi had already reached the Skin tempering realm, otherwise, the consequences have been fatal. In just a split second, rage and resentment clouded Yang Shi''s mind. His purple pupils suddenly turned crimson as he looked at Fatty Ku.

    Seeing that devilish gaze, Fatty Ku felt like he had fallen in some deep, chilly abyss.

    " You wanna die after all." Yang Shi said maliciously.

    " N-No.." Fatty Ku stammered as Yang Shi suddenly appeared in front of him. Using his hand like a de, Yang Shi chopped at Fatty Ku''s neck.

    With a snapping sound, Fatty Ku''s head twisted at an odd angle as he fell down. Yang Shi red at the remaining bandits as they ran like frightened dogs.

    Yang Shi regained his rity and though t[ Just What happened now?] But sudden pain in chest reminded him that he is still injured. Yang Shi pulled out the dagger as he sped to find a ce to rest.

    " Fuck, showing mercy is really smashing your foot with stone."

    Yang Shi finally saw a brook. He jumped in it to wash his wounds. He got up from there and started to channel Spiritual Qi and Internal energy to his wound. Bit by Bit his wound began to heal. Suddenly he saw someone wasing.

 Chapter 20: Enlightenment

    Chapter 20: Enlightenment

    " Fuck that Fatty." Yang Shi cursed under his breath as he washed his wounds. Still, Yang Shi felt a little uneasy as he killed someone. Till now he had killed three peoples, Young Master Song, Uncle Wang, Fatty Ku. Although theymitted heinous crimes, still, Yang Shi has a mortal''s mindset. He couldn''t ept to be a murderer. While he was absent-minded, an old man reached there with a fishing pole. It seems he came to catch fish.

    Yang Shi was started at the sudden appearance of the old man.

    " Young Man, it seems You are injured." The old man said, looking at Yang Shi.

    " Nah, it''s shallow. It will heal in some times." Yang Shi said.

    " Ok." Old man nodded and sat there to catch fish.

    Yang Shi again lost in thoughts.

    The old man asked again," Hmm, You seem a little troubled."

    " Yes." Yang Shi answered absent mindedly. Then suddenly asked the old man," Why do you ask?"

    " Nothing." The old man replied while concentrating on fishing.

    " I...I killed someone." Yang Shi said.

    *Cough* The old man suddenly coughed and said," You killed someone?"

    " Yes."

    Yang Shi couldn''t understand, Why did he tell this to an old man. The old man was looked like a mortal, with no cultivation. Even with his old age, there is a healthy glow in his skin. He said with astonishment," Did theymitted any evil?"

    " Yes, theymitted a lot." Yang Shi nodded.

    " So, there should be not any problem, right?" The old man said, furrowing his brows.

    " But, I killed them. I just...." Yang Shi was a little frustrated.

    " Ah, a ck crab." The old man shouted. It seems like he didn''t hear Yang Shi. A pitch ck crab, size of a palm caught the fishing.

    The old man hurriedly caught the crab, But the crab mped off the flesh of old man with its sharp ws.

    *Ouch* The old man hissed as he threw away the crab.

    Yang Shiughed after seeing the scene. " Gramps, You are naive or What?"

    " What do you mean?" The old man asked while sucking his wound.

    " You should have killed the crab first."

    " Oh, my bad." The old manughed foolishly.

    " Heh..." Yang Shi alsoughed but suddenly halted as he realized something.

    [ You should have killed the crab first......."] The sentence echoed in his mind.

    " Yes, That''s it. You need to kill them else they will harm you. Although, it seems killing is much, but to them, it is easy as pie. Since they can do it, Why can''t I?" Yang Shi pondered on it.

    Yang Shi can''t stop all the evil in this world. He is no hero or defender of justice. All he needs is power. The power, which is necessary to protect his loved one. Yang Shi had already experienced powerlessness, despair, darkness, When Mei Xian was abused andmitted suicide. If not for Samsara Emperor, Young Master Song should be alive and raping girls right now. The Song family should have existed andmitted crimes in dark. All needs power. Money is power, High position is power, Having brute strength is power, Intelligence is power. This world has given a second opportunity to Yang Shi, to live again. Yang shi not gonna let it go

    [I was alone when I came into this world. So, I''ll bear this pain alone. I can only depend on myself in this strange world and no one else. I''ll never depend on anyone else.]

    Yang Shi took a deep breath and sat cross-legged. He started to channel his spiritual Qi and began to study it slowly.

    Yang Shi finally felt a change taking ce in the Niwan Pce(1) within his mind after an indefinite period of time. He then felt a little change in his meridians along with a flush of heat. But, it felt very weak and insignificant; one couldn''t feel it unless one monitored every part of the body in a constant manner. The flow of the Qi was thin to the point of being almost non-existent. But, its presence was truly abnormal. It was something rather peculiar.

    Yang Shi crazily tried to send manifest his Spiritual Qi outside of his body. Finally, with a crisp sound, a white mist rolled of his palm. Yang Shi opened his eyes and jumped in happiness. He used his mind to control the spiritual energy. Soon the white mist turned to a ball of mist. Yang Shi concentrated more to change the shape of the ball, but is suddenly dispersed in air, like smoke.

    Yang Shi felt dizzy as a pang of pain spread in his forehead. " My mental strength iscking and I don''t have any suitable magic art. Damn it." Yang Shi thought as he fell asleep. When he awoke, it was already dark.

    " Huh, Where is that old man?" The old man wasn''t there.

    " I should Thank that Old man." Yang Shi felt ted. Now he can manifest his Spiritual Qi outside of his body. This means Yang Shi now could use magical arts like a true cultivator.

    " I can use the Spiritual Qi as I want. Let me see inside of my body." Yang Shi channeled his Qi and saw blood vessels, organs, flesh inside of his body.

    When he peered inside of his DanTian, His expression took a great change. He saw quite a number of things are residing there. Normally, all cultivators'' DanTian are empty. A treasure can only upy its space in DanTian, if it has a treasure spirit. But there are five things in his DanTian.

    An azure blue Lotus with myriads of petals, A fiery red Lilly with threerge petals, Out of three petals, only one petal was brightly lit. Other things are a golden rune and an octagonal Yin-Yang pendant.

    "Wait, how does that pendent appeared here?" Yang Shi was greatly surprised. This pendant was something The Old man Tang[2] gave him, in his past life.

    " Could it be a treasure?" Yang Shi was mused.

    " No wonder, Why Samsara Emperor said that I have a horde of treasures. *Tsk Tsk* He wasn''t lying."

    Yang Shi filled with satisfaction. Now he felts like he was the main protagonist of this world.

    " But this red Lilly..." Yang Shi used his mental strength to peer inside the Lilly. Suddenly, boundless anger and rage, filled his mind

    [Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! y beings of heaven and earth and forge a path of blood l wipe-out the skies and will obliterate thends Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!]

    Yang Shi''s eyes turned crimson as he roared like a demon.

 Chapter 21: Fog

    Chapter 21: Fog

    Yang Shi''s mind clouded by intense rage. Yang Shi''s pupil went bloodshot, just like the eye of the devil, was floodedpletely crazily. He almost lost his sanity. He felt like his body is on fire. He felt thousands of ancient volcano are erupting but couldn''te out of his body. He felt like his body and flesh are tearing apart.

    His heartbeat increased by three times, like it will burst out from his chest. His mind was filled with the desire to kill, ughter, and destruction. When the pain reached its limit, an azure blue light enveloped him.

    A cooling sensation spread through his body. Soon his mind calmed down. Unknown to him, his fiery red eyes are turning azure blue. Exhaustion filled his body as he fell asleep. In the dream, he saw the source of the blue light. It was the Azure blue Lotus, Which is inside of his DanTian.

    " This thing saved me today. Damn, that Red Lilly, almost got me killed." Yang Shi hissed. From now one, he will never mess with some unknown treasure. " This Lotus, lemme try it." Yang Shi used his mental energy to peer into the lotus. A cold sensation invaded his mind.

    "Mm, what happened? Was I dreaming?"

    Yang Shi sat up, and while he massaged his aching head, he scanned around. He found out that the scene from beforepletely disappeared, and it made him feel that the previous experience was only a dream.

    He quickly found out that something was different about him. He felt that his senses were extremely clear. Even the grass moving from the wind was detectable by him. He never had that feeling before.

    " How is my senses became so acute?" Yang Shi wondered.

    He looked at his reflection in the water. He concentrated and saw, in his purple pupil, the proportion of azure color increased and crimson color decreased. And his eyesight became more clear. His pupils looked purple but it''s actually the mixture of azure blue and fiery red.

    " My eyes look so strange but attractive."

    " Could it be that Azure Blue Lotus increase my senses?" Yang Shi thought. Yang Shi opened his palm and a white stream of mist rolled over.

    " I can even manifest Spiritual Qi with less effort. The lotus also increased my mental energy." Yang Shi was overjoyed.

    Then he looked around him, to find some broken trees and mawed ground. Like a hurricane passed from here.

    " W-What happened?" Yang Shi was bbergasted. Then he saw the cut marks of sword on the trees.

    " Wait, Where is my sword?" Yang Shi saw out of his two swords, one is snapped from the middle, and another one''s tip is missing.

    T _ T

    " My swords." When Yang Shi went crazy, he drew his sword and shed his surrounding. With his tremendous power, trees shed in half. A giant rock had a deep cut mark. The swords couldn''t handle the raw power of Yang Shi and broke apart. Then Yang Shi felt his muscles increased a little.

    " Don''t tell me...

    Yang Shi rushed and lifted a tree trunk. It would take tree adults to wrap around the tree trunk. It should be around a hundred Kg. But Yang Shi lifted it with ease.

    *Huuuu* " The pain caused by the red Lilly helped me to breakthrough to [ Flesh Transformation Stage] of Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art.

    One can lift a hundred kilo of weight when they reached [ Flesh Transformation Stage]. But Yang Shi felt he could at least live 200 Killos with ease.

    " This body is perfect for martial arts." On earth, one has to practice for five years to achieve such strength. But, Yang Shi reached such a realm in a few weeks.

    " Unless a cultivator can use magic arts proficiently. I am unrivaled in [ Spiritual Ascension Realm]"

    Yang Shiughed.

    What Yang Shi needs now is some powerful magic arts, but sadly, In the memory of Samsara Emperor, almost all the powerful magic arts can be used at [ Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm].

    After cracking his mind, Yang Shi finally got a decent magic art. It''s a defensive technique named [ Radiant Guard].

    [ Radiant Guard] can draw out spiritual Qi inside from the body and creates a shield which ward off physical attacks. It has four stages in this technique, ( Invisible barrier), ( Magic Protection), ( Innate Shield), and ( Golden Gate ). The first stage - ( Invisible barrier), helps to create a formless shield which stops physical attacks. The second stage ( Magic Protection) - In this stage, the practitioner can create a solid, physical barrier, Which also stops magic techniques.

    This technique works as long as there is Spiritual Qi, once a cultivator''s spiritual Qi exhaust, He can''t use any magic technique, along with [ Radiant Guard]

    In innate shield stage, One doesn''t need to fear from physical attacks, even he didn''t activate [ Radiant Guard], because, the spiritual Qi automatically revolve and protect your body.

    " Well, this is the best I can do now." Yang Shi muttered.

    Well, Yang Shi again picked up his backpack and continued his journey.

    *Bruh* " Walking through the forest is seriously boring" Yang Shi was utterly bored by his daily works. Wake up, walk, Kill ferocious beasts, roast them, take rest, walk again then sleep. Yang Shi almost felt like, he was a robot.

    " How the fuck is Deep Sky forest is so long? Yang Shi roared. It has been two weeks in the forest. Yang Shi has fully mastered [ Flying Feathere] and reached the initial stage of [ Radiant Guard], The invisible barrier.

    " Where the hell are the beauties and those arrogant young master, Whom I will face p?" If he hadn''t seen the demonic beasts and those bandits, Yang Shi would have doubted if he is real he is really in a cultivation world. Well, daily battle with powerful beasts helped Yang Shi to consolidate his foundation. Yang Shi reached the 6th level of the Spiritual Ascension realm. Yang Shi felt his cultivation is rising fast, but not the( Origin Chaos Energy art)

    Yang Shi Still stuck at [ Flesh Transformation Stage]

    but he wasn''t worried. One day He checked the map and became happy. " Finally, I reached the border of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom." As Yang Shi sped up, his surroundings began to change. Suddenly a thick, white fog surrounded the forest. With a thought, His eyes turned deep purple as he stared into the fog.

    " Even if I am using the Azure Blue Lotus, I can''t see in much depth. Since that the case, I have to figure it out on my own." Yang Shi walked into the fog.

 Chapter 22: Expensive City Life

    Chapter 22: Expensive City Life

    " What the hell is happening?" Yang Shi was utterly frustrated. He had been walking in the fog for two hours, but he couldn''t find his way out.

    " Wait, something is strange." Yang Shi felt he has been circling around the same ce. Yang Shi thought for some time and a n came to his mind. He closed his eyes and focused his surrounding. He felt the flow of Spiritual Qi around him, and moved ording to the fluctuations.

    *SSSHS*

    With the sound of rustling grass, Yang Shi became alert and silently cast ( Radiant Guard)

    Suddenly with a sh of green, something mmed into the barrier of Yang Shi. The formless barrier trembled violently, but it didn''t break. Yang Shi saw and cold sweat appeared on his head. Its actually a tail. The tail almost smashed the barrier.

    " Finally, a human appeared." With a hissing sound, someone said coarsely.

    Yang Shi got rmed and quickly jumped. Within a second he jumped, a giant python tail smashed the ground. Cracks like spiderweb on the ground.

    Yang Shi was horrified to see such power. A giant python with ten feet, appeared in front of Yang Shi.

    Its skin was a mixture of yellow and white.

    " Puny human, Die!" The python hissed and spat its poison. Yang Shi hurriedly avoided it but the snake tail mmed on Yang Shi''s chest. Yang Shi blew backward and coughed a mouthful of blood.

    Where the poison fell, the grasses withered and the ground charred.

    Yang Shi''s eye went wide to see the aftereffect of the poison. " Thankfully, I decided to dodge it."

    Clearly, since the snake was able to speak, It is a Demonic beast. Demonic beast''s power is the same as the human Primordial Spirit Awakening realm. But something is different about the snake. Yang Shi has already met the ck Cloud Panther, who was a demonic beast. His aura is very intimidating but the python''s aura is very unstable. Yang Shi guessed that the snake has recently be a Demonic Beast.

    " Since that the case, I might still have a chance." Yang Shi rolled to the side and said to the snake, " Ahaha, puny snake. My dragon isrger than you, Aahahaha."

    " Puny Human, DIE!!"

    The snake infuriated to hear such insult. It hissed and charged at Yang Shi. This time, Yang Shi didn''t retreat. He rolled forward and reached under the snake. Then he pulled out his saber and shed seven inches below the snake''s head

    *ARRGH*

    The python hissed painfully as it crashed down. At thest moment, it spewed a purple smoke. Yang Shi retreated, but still, the smoke reached his arm. Yang Shi felt like his arm is on fire. The smoke is corroding his skin. Yang Shi hurried dug a handful of soil and smeared on his arm. He massaged until it pulled out the poison.

    " Damned snake. Even in thest moment, it attacked." Yang Shi went and shed the snake''s neck. Then he pulled out a spherical object from its head. The most precious thing of a demonic beast is neither its skin nor blood, It is beast core. The beast core has the all energy and lifeforce of a beast. The beast core is used to concoct pills, strengthening formations, and making powerful talismans.

    Yang Shi wished he had a cultivation technique, Where he could devour all things to increase his cultivation. Sadly, he got none in memory of Samsara Emperor.

    "It is a demonic beast, It should fetch some good price." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    After a while, he finally found his way out of the fog. Suddenly, he felt that Spiritual Qi surrounding him is increasing. It is at least five times greater than the Deep Sky forest. He saw, a majestic looking city ahead.

    " Finally, Misty Tower city of Azure Feather Kingdom." Yang Shi became ted.

    Hw saw a carriage is heading toward the city, so he ran and asked him for lift.

    " What? Fifty gold coins! Hey, the city is just ahead. You think I can''t walk on my foot?" Although Yang had dozen of thousand gold coins, still the price carriage driver is asking a bit much. s, Yang Shi is tired and he also has to carry the python''s body. So he agreed.

    Following the forest trail down the hill for a few hours, they finally saw arge city.

    This city was far bigger than the Blue Sparrow Kingdom''s royal capital where the Long n Manor was situated. Looking at the city from afar, the city hazy blue colored walls were about fifty meters high with a towering entrance and there was a moat of gray water before the city walls.

    With the huge city up ahead, Yang Shi was delighted and asked the carriage driver to quicken his pace. As he got nearer to the gates, he saw written above the gates: Misty Tower City.

    " Misty Tower City!" Yang Shi was dazed for a moment when he saw the words this was the Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom''s City!

    " Shall we enter into the city now?" The carriage driver asked.

    "Let''s go into the city!" He replied to the driver with excitement. Just like when he was back on Earth, he felt happy about arriving at a great city.

    But before they could go in, a guard at the gate pulled the two of them to one side, looked them up and down before he asked: "Admission fees, twenty gold coins per person!"

    The carriage driver showed a pass. The guard nodded and asked Yang Shi," Hey, give twenty gold coins."

    Twenty gold coins are enough for amon household one year''s expenses!

    " Is it necessary?" Yang Shi asked. Clearly, he didn''t wanna spend money.

    " Are you new to here?" The guard asked, raising his brow.

    At this time, a young man riding a white horned horse, Which is a ferocious beast, swaggered into the city. The guards at the gate didn''t block him but instead bowed deeply as he passed by.

    Yang Shi''s expression turned cold, and pointed at the young man who had just passed by: "Why don''t they have to pay admission fees?"

    The Guard Captain sneered, "Them? They are members of the Lin n''s Young Master Lin, he is nobles. Do you know what nobles are? Of course, he needn''t pay admission fees when entering and exiting through city gates! How can you lowly outsidermon folks be equivalent to Young Master Lin!"

    " Boy, just pay them." The carriage driver told Yang Shi, he didn''t want a scene here.

    " Alright." Yang Shi unwillingly gave twenty gold coins and thought, " Just wait, I will be a top dog and whip your asses."

    As the carriage entered, Yang Shi asked the driver

    " Uncle, Why you didn''t give them money?"

    The carriage driver smiled and said " I have an authorization pass, given by my master. So I am free."

    " Can I also got one?" Yang Shi asked eagerly.

    " No." The driver said. " Now, Get off."

    " Ye ye." Yang Shi said as he gave fifty gold coins to the driver.

    " Now, the time has finallye. I will be a peerless genius. AHAHAHA. But first, let''s go to....a bookstore."

    " WHAT?!! the book {Basic Introduction of the Cultivation World} costs a thousand gold coin!!!"

    Yang Shi almost spurted blood.

 Chapter 23: Celestial Sea Plane

    Chapter 23: Celestial Sea ne

    " This is swindling. An introductory book is a thousand gold coins?" Yang Shi raged.

    " Kid, Are you new here?" The Bookkeeper asked.

    " Yes, So what?" Yang Shi said.

    " You don''t know the prices here. The book [Introduction of Cultivation world] has basic information about cultivation realms, nearby Kingdoms, the hierarchy of powerhouses, and three yellow grade techniques. So a thousand gold coins is nothing."

    " Fine, Give it to me." Yang Shi brought the book and a twelfth of the gold coin is gone.

    Yang Shi walked out of the bookshop and went to a nearby inn.

    " What! Hundred gold coin per night?"

    " Yes." The innkeeper smiled.

    After much negotiation, Yang Shi took the cheapest room, Which cost sixty gold coins per night.

    " This Misty Tower City gonna loot me." Yang Shi sighed. He thought that ten thousand gold coins will be enough for a long time, but now, he doubted if he couldst even a month.

    " Anyway, Let''s increase some general knowledge." Yang Shi knows many ancient cultivation techniques, pill recipe, formation art, but he doesn''t even know, Where is he currently at. His basic knowledge about cultivation world is zErO.

    Yang Shi opened the book and started to read.

    The world he is residing in, is called the Celestial Sea ne. It has many continents. He is currently at Sea Pearl continent. Then he saw the map and fond something astonishing.

    The Deep Sky Forrest is spanned over fifty thousand miles. The western part of the forest is called; Barren Lands. In barren Lands, nothing is worthy, the spiritual Qi is thin, no precious ore mines or medicinal herbs. The Blue Sparrow Kingdom resides in barrennds. Actually, ording to the book, it shouldn''t even be called a Kingdom. It''s just a vige of mortals.

    ording to the book, There are three types of kingdoms.

    (1) True Kingdom - A True Kingdom needs expert''s of [Violet Pce Expansion Realm}

    (2) Ancient Kingdom - There should be experts of {Origin Core Realm}

    (3) Supreme Kingdom - Supreme Kingdom should have {Nirvana Realm} Experts.

    Above Kingdoms are Grand Dynasty. Sea Pearl continent has three dynasties. The experts of dynasties herald supreme power. They are not much information about dynasties.

    Yang Shi flipped pages and saw about sects. Simr to earth''s xianxia novels, there are two kinds of sects - Righteous Sects and Demonic Sect.

    Righteous Sects and Demonic sects are not a distinction between good and evil. Yang Shiughed. " Aren''t all the MC of novels are betrayed from righteous sects and practice powerful demonic techniques?"

    Sects can be powerful as kingdoms. In fact, some powerful kingdoms are vessels of sects. The current powerhouses of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom can be counted as - Four ns, Two sects, and Royal Family. But under the surface, there are many factions, Who can affect the powerhouses.

    " Hmm, Should I just join the sect disciple selection or hug a thigh of a powerful n?" Yang Shi became lost in his own thoughts.

    " Anyway, Let''s move forward." Yang Shi also saw the ssification of magic techniques, treasures, and pills.

    First, magic arts, Which also called battle techniques, are divided into - Yellow grade, Purple grade, Mystic grade, Earth Grade, Heaven grade.

    Each grade is divided into four levels. Like a level two Yellow grade battle technique can defeat a level one, bymon knowledge.

    About pills, One can only concoct pills if they have reached {Violet Pce Expansion Realm}, And that''s the cultivation requirement. One needs to have a spirit me, enough mental energy, and talent to be an alchemist. There are also grades of pills- It is from First grade to Ninth grade. The higher the grade, the precious the pill.

    There are also the grade of treasures and weapons

    They are graded as Normal Rank, Spirit Rank, True Rank, Earth Rank, Sky Rank,

    Now finally, Yang Shi reached the section of Magic arts. There are three yellow grade magic arts in the book. Fierce Tiger Fist, Cresent Wind des, me spike.

    [1] Fierce Tiger Fist allows the cultivator to suddenly increase the flow of Spiritual Qi in arm and increase the power of the technique.

    [2] Cresent Wind de - One can manifest the spiritual Qi in air, Chant the incantation and turn the Qi into wind. Then fire the wind des to decapitate the enemy. With peak level of mastery, It can even cut through iron.

    [3] me Spike - It''s simr to the Cresent Wind de. One has to turn their Qi to fire energy and create a spike, made of me.

    " Huuuuu" Yang Shi took a deep breath as he digested the knowledge. Now he felt he is insignificant in this vast world.

    " Hmm, So currently, I have no future n. I have to quickly reach { Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm}

    He again opened the book and went to the cultivation realm section. { Primordial Spirit Realm}

    In this stage, One has to awaken their Primordial Spirits. Primordial Spirits are the creation of Heaven and earth. Some primordial spirits are the fruit of peerless expert''s power. After their death, Their dao turns into primordial spirit. Primordial Spirit brings unimaginable abilities to a cultivator. The higher grade primordial spirit, the faster one can cultivate and be more powerful.

    " Wait, Then Why nobody possessed a primordial spirit in Blue sparrow Kingdom? There was a considerable amount Primordial Spirit experts."

    " This means they practiced in the wrong method and the spiritual Qi is thin to attract a Primordial Spirit."

    Actually, not everybody posses a primordial spirit. Only geniuses have them.

    " These Primordial Spirits are simr to the martial spirits. I wonder What will I get? A Heavenly Dragon spirit or A Celestial Maiden with a voluptuous body?" Yang Shi was sure that he possessed a powerful spirit, cause he is the protagonist after all.

    ording to the book, Primordial Spirits are divided into- Noble Spirit, Royal Spirit, Imperial Spirit, Heavenly Spirit, and Immortal Spirit.

    One can possess more than one Primordial spirit. There was a legend that A powerful figure of past possessed Eight primordial Heavenly Spirits and One Immortal Spirit.

    " Well, I think I will possess at least posses eight Immortal spirits. ahahahahah" Yang Shiughed maniacally.

    " Hey, shut up. It''s the middle of the night." The resident of the nearby room shouted with displeasure.

    " OK." Yang Shi replied.

    *Blip* With a sh. a light screen appeared.

    *NEW MISSION*

    " Huh, So what I need to do this time?" As Yang Shi read further, his face became ck.

    " Wh-Wghat The Fuck is this........"

    .................................

    Samsara Emperor took a sip of tea.

    " How is the tea" Hong''er asked with a smile

    " Ordinary." Samsara Emperor replied ndly.

    " Oh really? I wonder how did you praise *her* When She made the simr tea?" Hong''er said while thinking aloud.

    *Puuu" Emperor sput his tea and changed the topic

    " The boy''s true life gonna start now."

    " So, You loved the tea?"

    "....."

 Chapter 24: A Poverty Stricken Genius

    Chapter 24: A Poverty Stricken Genius

    " Th-This too much!" Yang Shi''s brain stopped working for a moment. This time, the system showed multiple tasks.

    MISSIONS - [1] Reach peak level of { Violet Pce Expansion Realm} in Two years.

    [2] Be an influential figure in the Grand Dynasty.

    [3] Be a Master Alchemist in one and half year.

    [4] Be a Master cksmith in a year.

    [5] Be proficient in at least two of

    " Four ssic Arts" {1}

    [6] Kill Fifty Peoples in two months.

    **All Six tasks are bound to beplete, else you will die.**

    **Additional requirement - You won''t join a faction directly or get help from them directly.**

    Yang Shi sweated in bullets, after reading the long list of tasks. Although he believed, that he is a genius Who can master all kinds of professions, still the time given is short. And if he fail to do any one of them, he will die.

    " What the hell means I will die? Is it some kind of shit show? How can Iplete all these at once?" Yang Shi raged.

    " And I have to kill fifty peoples in two months? What the hell? Am I a killer or What?"

    "Ok, calm down. You are a genius. You have the martial arts and knowledge of earth. You have the memory of Samsara Emperor. You can do it. In fact, It''s easy as a pie. And killings happen in this world." Yang Shi told to himself.

    " Hmm, but before that, I have to reach {Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. I guess I need to buy some pills." Yang Shi didn''t think much. He threw the book to the side and fell asleep.

    Yang Shi got up in the morning and went to the dining area of the inn. He ordered some light dishes and listen to the surrounding peoples. Inn is the best ce to gather information.

    He listened to the voices. One beardy man said, " You don''t know, Third Young Master of Yue n has awakened a noble spirit, called Crimson me Leopard. His efficiency over Fire attribute battle arts, has increased significantly."

    Another one said, " Xu n''s Young Master also has a noble spirit, The Inferno Fan. I wonder, Who is more powerful?"

    " Inferno Fan is good for alchemy and cksmithing, but it''s kinda less powerful in directbat. But he can be an alchemist, in the Primordial Spirit realm." An Old looking manmented.

    " I don''t know if the news is true. But Do you know that the first prince of Soaring Star Supreme Kingdom has awakened an Imperial Spirit - Rain Dragon."

    " WHAT! A dragon spirit?" That''s too powerful."

    " Yes, Imperial Spirits are very powerful, and If luck in good, It can evolve into a Heavenly Spirit." The Old man said again.

    " The first prince has ran out of the kingdom for adventure. Ahahahah."

    " Our Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom is not bad. Our Third Prince has also an Imperial spirit, Storm Eagle."

    " Yes, But You know, The dragon Spirits are much more powerful."

    " Whatever."

    After listening to all those ramblings, Yang Shi smirked and thought, [ Just wait, I will see your faces when I will awake an Immortal Spirit]. Yang Shiughed n his mind.

    " Yes, The bill is two hundred gold coins."

    " What? I just ate Golden String Noodles and Three Spice Meat Soup. And this cost two hundred gold coins?"

    " Yes, All these recipes are handmade by renowned chefs, with precious herbs and beast meat. So It''s.."

    The waiter said.

    " Ok, Take this." Yang Shi gave him two hundred gold coins reluctantly.

    " Thank You." The waiter bow and left.

    [ Should I start a restaurant? I think I will fetch good money.] Yang Shi thought.

    " Anyway, Today I will stroll around the city." Yang Shi dressed up and walked down on the street. Soon he reached the market area. The street was bustling with noises. Various vendors are shouting for their products.

    " Here, Take a look at this three hundred year old Three leafed Blue Grass. Today, It''s only cost ten thousand gold coins."

    " This sword is left behind by a sword cultivator, Only at twenty-five thousand gold coins."

    " Unknown Treasure map, engraved of the metal sheet, Only for Fifty thousand gold coins."

    With such hawking, Yang Shi felt like he entered a fish market.

    " Wow, There are lots of things here, but sadly, most of them are fake." Yang Shi silently focused his eyes and he saw How these normal things are made into ancient things.

    Take the example of the sword. The hawker is saying that it''s an ancient sword of a sword cultivator, but with his powerful vision, Yang Shi could see that, Its a normal iron sword, aged in copper water and smeared with some beast blood, Wich give it a fierce look.

    And with some jewels engraved on it, It is enough to fool ordinary people. Yang Shi smiled as he looked at these things, Some people are showing their interest in these things, and the hawkers are even boasting more like, How did they endanger their life, to travel into ominous ces to collect treasure.

    " Ok give me the Three Leafed Blue Grass." A Young Man gave the hawker ten thousand gold coins casually.

    " As expected, Second Young Master Yue has extraordinary eyesight. This grass can help you in the cultivation and You can achieve a breakthrough in a short amount of time."

    Yang Shiughed at the misfortune of the Young Man. " And the boy is conned." Yang Shiughed inwardly.

    But he also thought that he is too poor here, because a person can casually throw ten thousand gold coins. And ten thousand gold coins is all Yang Shi''s possession, Or precisely Nine thousand Two Hundred gold coins.

    " Aiiiii. I am feeling poor again" Yang Shi sighed.

    Then he went to a nearby store to buy books about alchemy.

    " Hmm, This is [Beginner Theories Of Alchemy Apprentice] But Why I am feeling its an engineering book? Anyway, Let''s focus on Alchemy first, Because with a shit load of pills, It will be easier to cultivate, and maybe I will attract the attention of some powerful n''s beautiful Young Miss. AHAHAHAHAHA." Yang Shiughed in his mind.

    " I want to buy this book. How much?"

    " Two thousand Gold coins."

    " Okay, Tw- WHAT?!!! TWO THOUSAND?" Yang Shi frightened by the price.

    " What''s so shocking about it?" The bookkeeper said casually.

    " Are You kidding me? In Two Thousand Gold coins, I can live for six months." Yang Shi raged.

    " Don''t You know, Studying Alchemy means burning money. That''s Why alchemist always has the highest demand." *bruh*

    " I... Just give me." With bleeding heart, Yang Shi bought the book.

    With teary eyes, Yang Shi swore, [ I will peel off the skin of peoples the day I will be an alchemist.]

 Chapter 25: Money, I am coming

    Chapter 25: Money, I aming

    Yang Shi left the shop with the book. He sighed and thought about the shortage of money. Then he suddenly thought, " Wait, I can sell the corpse of the demonic python." Of course, Yang Shi will only sell its corpse not it''s beast core. Because he needs the beast core in some other things.

    Yang Shi went back to the inn and took out the sack, Which is filled with corpse. Yang Shi carried it on his back and went out.

    Hundred Gold Pavilion is thergest firm in the Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. So it has a branch in Misty Tower city. It''s not like those street hawkers. Hundred Gold Pavilion only sold authentic products, So naturally, Their prices are higher.

    Yang Shi went there, In hope to fetch some money. He saw a five-story building, Painted with golden color and embedded with various jewels. Naturally, one can distinguish it from afar. Among surrounding buildings, It stood like a noble. Yang Shi entered the building and a beautiful girl greeted him.

    " Wee to our Hundred Gold Pavilion, Dear customer. What will you like to buy? We have all sorts of things, From cultivation techniques to powerful treasures, pills and herbs. We have all."

    Umm, I came here to sell something." Yang Shi said.

    " Oh, Customer wants to sell something? Please, this way, You can talk to our appraiser, Mr. Huang."

    " Ok." Yang Shi nodded and followed the girl to a room.

    " Ah, Wee esteemed customer, What can I help you?" An old man with a white beard and wrinkled face said with a smile. By looks, the old man looks very normal, but his eyes have a very sharp look, Yang Shi felt like he was standing naked in front of this old man.

    " I came here to sell this." With a pungent smell, a corpse of a python appeared.

    The old man didn''t show and disgust and looked closely at the corpse.

    " Customer has brought a Yellow Mud Demonic Python. But It''s very young and recently became a Demonic beast. From the corpse dposition, It looks like it''s killed two days ago. Hmm, If you brought it earlier, You might have gotten much more."

    " It seems Mr. Huang has a sharp eyesight." Yang Shi said with a smile.

    "Hahaha. Yes, In this business, One need to discern diamonds from coal." Mr. Huangughed.

    " But, Where it''s beast core?" He asked.

    " Errr, I didn''t bring." Yang Shi said.

    " Without, It''s core it''s price gonna decrease." Mr. Huang said with a frown.

    " I still want to sell this." Yang Shi said.

    " The flesh, blood, and organs have been rotted a bit. The skin is undamaged, and it has its poison sack. I can give you... Five thousand gold coins." Mr. Huang said.

    " Hmm, But what if I add it''s beast core?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Then, You will get ten thousand gold coins. Actually, If you had brought just after killing it, You would have gotten twelve to thirteen thousand gold coins." Mr. Huang said.

    " Hmm, I am willing to sell this at five thousand gold coins." Yang Shi agreed.

    " About the beast core..." Mr. Huang asked probingly.

    " I will think about it." Yang Shi said with a smile.

    " Ok, It''s nice to deal with you. Pleasee again. We guarantee that we will give you a satisfactory price."

    Yang Shi began to stroll around the Pavilion. Then another girl asked him," Is the customer is looking for something?"

    " Can you show me some weapons?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Sure, we have a wide range of spirit weapons. Here, It''s called Jade Star Sword. It''s light and sharp. And if you infuse it with spiritual Qi, It''s lethality will increase three folds.

    " How much?"

    " Only fifty thousand gold coins."

    "...."

    " Is there something cheap? I mean very cheap?"

    Yang Shi said with a forced smile.

    *Ahem* " Customer, This is called Crimson Fury. This saber is a bit heavy, But it''s perfect to bring your raw strength. It is only for Fifteen Thousand gold coins.

    *Sigh*

    [ I am so poor] Yang Shi cried in his heart.

    *Cough* " Can you show me some daggers?" Yang Shi said.

    " Yes, We also have some very good quality of daggers. This set of Six throwing daggers are called [Six Death Stars]. Its made from Cold Core Iron. So it''s very durable. Plus the feathers on it''s back are from Sand Eagle, a powerful Flying-type Ferocious beast."

    " How much?"

    " Seven Thousand Gold Coins."

    " Seven Thousand is a bit much. Can''t youe down a little?"

    " But customer... The girl forced a smile.

    " Hmm, What about this?" Yang Shi pointed at the three Dark-colored daggers.

    " This, It''s called Dark Twilight. Basically, it''s material is better than the [ Six Death Stars] It''s made from Obsidian Crystal Steel, Which is more precious than cold-core iron.

    But due to some reasons, Its spirit channeling diagram is not working. So you can''t fuse your Spiritual Qi into it." The salesgirl exined.

    " How much this cost?" Yang Shi was interested in this.

    " Four thousand gold coins."

    " Aiiiii. Ok, I will buy it."

    " I will pack it right away." The girl nodded.

    Yang Shi was satisfied after he brought these three daggers. Even he can''t fuse his spiritual Qi in this, He can simply boost his power through internal energy and [ Flying Feathers] martial art.

    " Ok, let''s take some rest." Yang Shi came back to the inn and start reading the Alchemy book he had brought. There are three parts to it. The first part was the description of various medicinal ingredients. Yang Shi was able to remember them quickly, because he had the memory of Samsara Emperor. So he only flipped through the pages to remember their appearance and medicinal quality.

    The second part was about controlling the Spirit me and concocting some simple pills. For now, Yang Shi could able to do this.

    And the third part was about various pills and their effects. From this, Yang Shi understood that he need [ Spirit Gathering Pills] to quickly cross the levels of [ Spiritual Ascension Realm].

    Yang Shi is currently at the sixth level of [ Spiritual Ascension Realm]. And he needs to quickly reach [ Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm] For practice Alchemy or cksmithing.

    " Let''s cast this aside first. My top priority is killing 50 peoples in two months. What the hell should I do? Fifty people aren''t cabbages." Yang Shi''s mind was in mess.

    " Wait... Money, People, Killing. AHAHAHAHAHAHAH. YES, HOW CAN I FORGET THAT?" Yang Shiughed maniacally. In his purple pupils, the shade of fiery red increased.

    There is a method to bothplete the task and earn a shit load of money. It''s called Assassination.

    There are a lot of peoples who are willing to pay tonnes of money to kill peoples.

    " I can do that and I have a perfect technique for that. But first I have to learn [ Cresent Wind de] and [ me Spike]"

    With determination in his eyes, Yang Shi began his practice.

    "Money and Luxury, I AM COMING."

 Chapter 26: Battle Ring

    Chapter 26: Battle Ring

    o currently, Yang Shi could only remember about medicinal nts and the effects of various pills. He can''t concoct any pill, until he reached [ Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm].

    " Ok, let''s cast it aside for the time being. Now, let''s work on the assassination project." Yang Shi rummaged through various martial arts. After much thinking, He finally thought to try a Heaven Grade martial art. He chose two martial arts to practice.

    [1] Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art.

    [2] Supreme Tai Chi Battle art.

    Heaven Evasion Lightning arts are the core technique of Formless Specter Sect of Earth. It''s an ancient sect, Which was famous for its assassinations and spying arts. There were no organizations, Where Formless Specter sects members can''t infiltrate. So, back in the old times, this sect was feared for its power.

    Yang Shi chose this because it focuses on three things - Extreme Agility, Powerful Lethality, and Stealth. This art will be useful in the long run. And Yang Shi will be able to kill 50 people in two months of time. And the second technique [Taichi Supreme Battle art] is chosen because it will be camouge for Yang Shi.

    Earth''s Tai Chi art is very precious because It allows the practitioner to control Yin and Yang energy. Controlling Yin and Yang energy in this world is very hard because of thews of this world. Yin and Yang are the most primitive energy, Which birth after Primordial Chaos. One can only sense such a higher level of energy if they are in [Origin Core Realm] or they have a special body. But not only Yang Shi have a special body but also have a cheat like Supreme Tai Chi Battle art.

    Yang Shi wanted to control Yang energy because Yang energy is the higher form of me energy. If one can master Yang energy, Controlling Fire element will be easy. Alchemy and cksmithing is all about controlling the me. And because Yang Shi also cultivated [ Origin Chaos Energy Art] which has the most primitive energy, Controlling Yin and Yang energy will be easier. So in other words, [Origin Chaos Energy Art] and [Supreme Tai Chi Battle art.]plement each other.

    " Huuuu." Time to practice [Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art]. It has three segments.

    (1) Myriad Ghost Steps.- It''s an agility type technique. Whether its Assassin, Spy, or Thief, The first thing they have to learn is- How to escape.

    Myriad Ghost steps allows one to move like a ghost. Nobody will able to sense the presence of the person. It speed also extremely fast and able to evade others.

    (2) Swift Shadow sh - For an assassin, the most important thing is its attack. The rule of assassination is- Kill the victim in one swift strike, if not, hide again. Swift Shadow sh is a technique, Which amplifies the attack power of the weapon. The attack wille like lightning and vanish like smoke. Even in thest moment, the Victim will unable to know, What had happened.

    It has only three styles, but each style is full of lethality.

    (3) Specter Merging- This art enables the user to limit the body functions. It helps the user to remain hidden in one ce. Like the person has merged in the surrounding. No one will detect the person''s breath, Heartbeat, or Blood flow. It decrease the flow of energy of the body. So even someone is powerful than him, They can''t detect him. All over its a powerful stealth art.

    Yang Shi began to crazily practice [Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art]. Day by Day, seven days passed like the wind. Yang Shi looked like a malnourished person. He got dark circles under his eyes, cause of excessive practice. But he managed to get some initial grasp over [Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art]. Because its a heaven grade martial art, Yang Shi is having difficulty to practise this.

    But due to the calming effect of Azure Blue Lotus, Hisprehension increased. " This lotus is a true treasure. Not only it helps to sharpen my senses but also increased myprehension. Damn that Red Lily, It got me killedst time. But what is the origin of these treasures?" Yang Shi thought to himself.

    " Anyway, Time to do practical." Yang Shi dressed up and went outside. He asked people and reached to an underground arena.

    This arena is called " Battle Ring". Peoplee here to see fighting and bet on fighters. Some alsoe here to hone their skills. But the dangerous thing is, This arena only has Life and Death matches. One will be under its enemy''s mercy if he lose. So the mortality rate is 98%.

    But an audience like this and bet like crazy. So one can earn a decent amount of money here.

    Yang Shi entered the bustling arena and saw people are shouting like crazy.

    " Here, Blood Butcher has delivered a fatal attack. Can ck Mask survive? OH, ck Mask has tricked him..." Thementer is shouting. Most people use nicknames and masks, When they are fighting, So no one can recognize and seek revenge from them. The so-called ck Mask roared and shed the abdomen of Blood Butcher. Blood and intestine spurted out, and the audience roared like madmen.

    " HAHAHAHAHAAH. I betted on the correct person. YES, BLACK MASK WON." a personughed hard.

    Yang Shi walked to the gate and said to the guard, " I want To participate in battle"

    The guard looked him twice and showed him a room. Yang Shi went there and a fatty gave said to him, " We will be not going take responsibility for your death. Pick your weapon and mask, register your name and go to that gate." Yang Shi wore a fox mask and registered his name to [Ghost]. He picked up his Dark Twilight daggers and entered the gate.

    " Ladies and Gentleman, Today we have a new fighter. Wee Ghost!! And to the day he is going to fight with... Abyss Lord."

    " Wooohoooo" The audience cheered after hearing the name of Abyss Lord. " HAHAHA, This Ghost gonna lose today."

    A person with a dark mask appeared andughed wickedly after seeing Yang Shi.

    " Brat, Fuck off else Die." The Abyss Lord mocked.

    Yang Shi didn''t answer, just stared at him. " It seems the abyss lord is at the ninth stage of [Spiritual Ascension Realm] so then..."

    " I guess, you want to die after all. Then let me send you to theher world" saying this, he pulled out a shiny sword and charged out at Yang Shi.

    *SWISH* *SWISH*

    Yang Shi evaded his two shes and unleashed the [Ghost Fist]

    *BAM BAM BAM BAM*

    Eight illusory fistsnded on Abyss Lord''s chest.

    He flew backward and crashed.

    " WOW, Isn''t it is simr to [Eight Great Palms]?" Some people guessed. Yang Shi smiled after he heard this.

    *HAAAH* The Abyss Lord jumped out and roared at Yang Shi, " Bastard, DIE!!. Wave of Sword"

    " OH YEAH, Abyss Lord has finally unleashed his signature technique. Can Ghost able to evade this?" Thementer said with an excited voice.

    *WENG* *WENG *WENG*

    Several Silvery waves charged at Yang Shi. Yang Shi hurriedly deployed [ Radiant Guard]

    *DING DING DING*

    Most of the attack was stopped by the invisible barrier and the remaining one gave Yang Shi some light cuts.

    " OH, and Ghost stopped the [ Wave of Sword]" Thementer roared.

    Yang Shi sped his palms and muttered something. Then with a sh, he chopped out his hand at Abyss Lord. Two formless des flew toward Abyss Lord. Abyss Lord dodged the first one but got hit by the second.

    *ARRRGH* blood spilled as a deep cut appeared on his waist.

    " Ghost used Cresent Wind de and injured Abyss Lord." Thementer identified the magic technique Yang Shi used.

    " I-I surrender. Please, let me live. I will give you whatever you want." The Abyss lord kneel on the ground and begged. Yang Shi cast a disdainful look and turned around to leave.

    " Haaah." The Abyss Lord smirked and picked up his sword to unleash another [Wave of Sword], while Yang Shi unware. Just about he was going to sh, a ck dagger came flying and pierced the neck of Abyss Lord. With wide-open eyes, Abyss Lord, fell down, never to wake again. Yang Shi picked up his dagger and said, " Scums are really scums."

    With a heroic look, he came back from the arena, leaving behind a speechless audience.

    " wait a minute. I FORGOT TO BET ON MYSELF. NOOOOO, MY MONEY"

 Chapter 27: Assassination (1)

    Chapter 27: Assassination (1)

    Yang Shi already left the arena, so regretting means nothing.

    " Arrgh, How can I forget such important work?" Yang Shi cursed to himself, s regret has no medicine.

    " Ok, boy. Don''t worry. Once you be a powerful assassin, Money will be dirt." Yang Shi consoled to himself, the only thing he could do now.

    Yang Shi came back to the inn and took rest. The battle between Abyss Lord and him gave Yang Shi great benefit. Not only his foundation solidified, but he also reached the Seventh Stage of[ Spiritual Ascension Realm]

    " Huuuuu. Two more stages and I will reach Primordial Spirit awakening realm." Yang Shi thought to himself. After paying another hefty sum or the dinner, Yang Shi slept soundly.

    The next day, he spent his time in the courtyard of the inn, practicing Cresent Wind de and me Spike. His practice over me Spike went great. Yang Shi believed, after some days, he will able to utilize the technique.

    After sunset, Yang Shi went out again. This time his target is: Blood Moon Hall.

    Blood Moon Hall is the most powerful Assassination organization here. Peoples says that, it is the faction of a powerful force, So till now, nobody was able to eradicate them. The Blood moon Hall has its own team of assassins, but they send out bounties.

    So anyone can get a reward as long as theyplete the task.

    Yang Shi went there in the hope to pick up some bounties and earn easy money. Yang Shi reached an abandoned street. There is nothing to except an old, broken shop.

    " I think I reached there." Yang Shi carefully entered the shop.

    *ZZZZZZZZ* Suddenly a snoring sound frightened him.

    " WHO?" Yang Shi asked cautiously.

    " Why did youe here, Youngman?" an old man asked. The drool as still dripping from his mouth.

    " I heard, the Blood Moon Hall''s branch is here? I came to get some bounty. I wish to be an assassin." Yang Shi said.

    "Youngster, an assassin is a bloody and violent profession. Have you really prepared yourself?" The old man slowly lifted his head. His dark, aged eyes peered into Yang Shi. Despite this, Yang Shi maintained his calm and controlled his breathing. He even smiled sincerely with his eyes.

    Although he couldn''t see through the old man, Yang Shi knew that this old man was also still inspecting him

    [ A normal person in an abnormal ce, Is the most dangerous. In all those movies, These types of old men are true experts.

    "Youngsters will always be attracted towards blood and violence, huh?" The Old man sighed. " Getting into Blood Moon Hall requires neither money nor any identity. Just ept the task and do it in time.

    " Here is your first task." The old man gave Yang Shi a scroll.

    " Huh, What''s this?" Yang Shi opened the scroll. A photo of a middle aged man was described there.

    " Go to ck Sand Town, Which is 50 kilometers far from here. Bring back this person''s head till tomorrow night." The Old man said inly.

    After Yang Shi fully read the scroll, it magicallybusted into red mes and engulfed the palm of Yang Shi. Yang Shi hurriedly tried to put it off, but the me was engraved as a blood colored moon tattoo, on the backside of his palm.

    " What''s this?" Yang Shi asked the old man, pointing at the blood moon tattoo.

    " This is Blood Moon Seal. When you will kill your target, It will vanish." The Old man exined.

    " What''s the reward?" Yang Shi asked, clearing his throat.

    " Hmmm, About Fifteen Thousand Gold coins?" The Old man probed.

    " WHAT!!" [ Fifteen Thousand Gold Coins!! FUCK! THAT''S A LOT.] Yang Shi screamed in his heart, but didn''t show it on outside.

    *Ahem* " I don''tck money, The price is a little low. How about some Spirit Gathering Pills?" Yang Shi said.

    " Hmmm, I can only give you six pills."

    " Six pills with Fifteen Thousand Gold Coins. Deal" Yang Shi hurriedly agreed and left. Three pills cost Five Thousand Gold coins, so Six costs Ten thousand gold coins.

    " Remember the deadline, boy." The Old man

    shouted from the back.

    " I will remember." Yang Shi also shouted.

    " Interesting Kid." The old man smiled.

    ...............................

    Without wasting time, Yang Shi hurriedly packed the Dark Twilight and utilized Myriad Ghost Steps to rush towards ck Sand town.

    ck Sand Town is very smallpared to Misty Tower city. The person Yang Shi had to kill, called Zhu Wei, the Third brother of ck Sand Town''s town supervisor.

    In just an hour, Yang Shi reached the ck Sand Town. He went to an inn and asked for dinner. The price here is way lower than Misty Town City. It only cost Forty Gold Coins.

    While eating, Yang Shi tried to dig out some information about Zhu Wei. He called a waiter boy and gave him two gold coins. Te waiter''s eye shone and he spewed all the things he knew.

    Yang Shi came to know that this Zhu Wei is very notorious here. Because of his big brother, Who is the Town Supervisor, nobody could touch him.

    It is said that, He also colluded with local bandits, and help them to sell their stolen loots in the Misty Tower City. He also raped a few women of this town and impregnated them. But no one dare to stand against him.

    " This Zhu Wei is really a bad dude." Yang Shi thought, while sipping tea. " But he is at the first level of Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. I guess I have to clean shit tonight. The faster, the better." Yang Shi decided to finish him tonight.

    After everyone went to sleep, a ck-clothed figure dashed out of the inn and went toward a luxurious vi.

    Armed Guards are monitoring the entire vi. All of them are at [ Spiritual Ascension Realm]

    *UGH..* A guard groaned and tumbled down. A ck figure appeared behind him and pulled out a dark dagger from the guard''s throat.

    This figure is naturally Yang Shi. He changed his cloth to the guard''s cloth and went into the vi. Yang Shi could already feel the thrill and the excitement, for some unknown reason.

    As he entered the vi. the number of guards increased. Yang Shi cautiously proceed into the vi, but stopped midway.

    He reached the main hall and saw some people were in the meeting. Yang Shi stopped because he saw his target- Zhu Wei.

    " Young Miss, Zhu. Third Master Zhu is actually doing well, He is training our guard very strictly. You must have heard some false news." A middle-aged man said, sping his hands.

    " Yes, Elder Sister, please listen to me. I didn''t do any of this." Zhu Wei was exining to a woman. The women looked beautiful, it seems, she is in her twenties.

    " So smuggling the loots of bandits is false usation?" The woman asked angrily.

    " Well." Zhu Wei rubbed his nose but didn''t deny it.

    *PA*

    A crisp pping sound resounded. The woman pped Zhu Wei.

    " You are ruining our reputation. Begone from my sight now." The woman said angrily.

    " Yes, Elder Sister." Zhu Wei nodded. But a trace of evil smile could be seen on his face, It seems he didn''t mind the p after all, but on the other hand he got excited from it.

    Watching the scene from outside, Yang Shi thought, [ This woman seems the elder sister of Zhu Wei. She looks righteous]

    Poor Yang Shi, Didn''t know that what he gonna see next, will crumble his mind.

 Chapter 28: Assassination (2)

    Chapter 28: Assassination (2)

    The following chapter has intense violence, blood/gore, sexual content, and/or strongnguage that may not appropriate for underage viewers. So if you''re under the legal age of 18, or has problem, you can choose not to read.

    Yang Shi thought to wait for a while because there are people around Zhu Wei. He didn''t want any kind of trouble in his first attempt at assassination.

    " Hmm, I should wait, till he sleeps. Then I can kill him, in one fall swoop." While they are at the meeting, Yang Shi sneaked into the bedroom of Zhu Wei.

    Around an hour passed, and no sign of Zhu Wei. Yang Shi got bored out of his mind. " Where the hell he is? Doesn''t he need to sleep?" Yang Shi thought, while yawning. He is currently hiding in the corner, behind a pir. The room is very spacious. As Yang Shi almost dozed off, sounds of footsteps started him.

    He cautiously took out two of Dark Twilight, and waited to the person to arrive. It was indeed Zhu Wei, who came to his room with a wicked grin.

    He came happily. He lightened up some colorful candles and took out an incense burner. He filled it with some dry leaves but didn''t burn it. Zhu Wei waited till another person came to the room. Yang Shi started to see that person. It was the elder sister of Zhu Wei.

    " Elder Sister you came a littlete." Zhu Weiined like a spoiled brat. Although it was stated on the scroll that the age of Zhu Wei is 45 years, he still looks very young.

    That''s the advantage of a cultivator. They can retain their youth for a thousand years. Even if they are old monsters of thousand of years, they will look like some twenty year old youngsters.

    " What''s this brother-sister duo, doing here?" Yang Shi didn''t attack immediately. The woman cultivation was the second stage of the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. And from looks, she seems very powerful.

    Yang Shi could hardly beat those two at once, so he kept his patience and watched the scene in front of him. Trying to find an opportunity to strike.

    " Hnn. Are you angry that I pped you?" The women asked tenderly putting he slender arms around the neck of Zhu Wei.

    " I never get angry with my elder sister." Zhu Wei said righteously, but his arm already grasped the waist of the woman.

    Yang Shi''s eyes went wide. " Wait, something is wrong!!!" Yang Shi gulped as he tried to calm down his heartbeat. But the next scene caused his heart to burst.

    The woman ripped out the upper cloth of Zhu Wei and pushed him to bed. She smacked her lips and said, " Little Brother, even you said so, I deserve punishment." Saying this she began to undress. Her dress fall and her alluring bare body came to light.

    Her ample breasts jumped out like rabbits. She jumped on the bed and spread her legs,pletely exposing her hidden garden. With bewitching moan, she said, " Please punish, this bad sister."

    Yang Shi almost tumbled down by seeing the scene.

    He swore to god that he never saw a woman like her. It was true tho. The past life of Yang Shi is beyond shit. He spent all of his time working here and there. HE DIDN''T EVEN WATCH PORN. Only his coworker, who was also worked at themercial store, told Yang Shi about some juicy tales.

    Although he and Mei Xian also lived under the same roof, they didn''t do it actually. Yang Shi only saw Mei Xian in her panties, for only once.

    Yang Shi thought that he will do with Mei Xian, after marriage. But shit happened and here he is, in a different universe. So Yang Sho''s reaction was natural.

    Zhu Wei also pulled out his pants and pinned sown the woman, and wickedly said, " Since it''s your wish, Your little brother will fulfill it."

    " But first, burn the mixture Sr Yang Flower and Illusory Dream Leaves. Otherwise, my Dark Yin Art won''t work." The woman said sweetly.

    " Ok." Zhu Wei hurriedly nodded and burned the incense burner. A light aroma filled the room. Before Yang Shi could think anything else, Both sibling entangled like snakes and started doing *deed*

    The room was filled with bewitching moans and loud gasps. From looks, Zhu Wei was indeed hard working. He thrusted his spear vigorously, inside the woman. They changed positions and did for some unknown time.

    Yang Shi''s blood started to boil. He never saw such a scene, between a man and a woman. YangShi''s breathing grew hard. In his purple pupil, the shade of Fiery red increased. Yang Shi felt a simr feeling When he tried to prob the Red Lilly. But it was a little different now. He didn''t felt the urge to kill or destroy but felt overwhelming Lust.

    He wished to pull down Zhu Wei, and fuck the woman crazily. Yang Shi suddenly remembered the two things- Sr Yang Flower and Illusory Dream Leaves.

    " Fuck, These two are used to increase the Yang energy of men and crazily increase the spiritual Qi of the body, for a short amount of time." Yang Shi cursed.

    Just by sniffing a whiff, he already losing control. No wonder, How Zhu Wei got the energy to ride her, like a beast.

    After half an hour, they finally finished their task. The woman lied on the stomach of Zhu Wei. Even now, Zhu Wei is groping her breasts, making various shapes out of this.

    Due to holding back his urge, Yang Shi face turned red, like the butt of a baboon. He felt if he didn''t release it, he will explode.

    " FUCK. I don''t wanna fuck that whore. It''s my first time." Yang Shi gasped heavily, trying to control his mind. He bit his tongue, to regain some rity.

    " It seems both of them are exhausted. Time for action." He gritted his teeth and took out his dagger. He buffed his arm with internal energy and threw it at full speed.

    *WOOOSH*

    With a whistling sound, the dagger tore through the wind and pierced the neck of Zhu Wei.

    The woman sensed something as she jumped off from bed.

    *ARRRGH*

    Before Zhu Wei could understand anything, a stark pain filled his mind as he cked out.

    " Blooming Flowers" The Woman shouted as purple petals materialized from thin air and shot toward Yang Shi.

    " Myriad Ghost Steps" Yang Shi quickly vanished from his spot but still injured by the Flower Petals.

    " Fuck." Yang Shi cursed as he tried to dash out from the building, but the woman pulled out a whip from nowhere andshed at Yang Shi.

    " Die." The woman shouted coldly as she gracefully swung her whip andshed. The Whip hit Yang Shi''s gap, his cloth ripped and a gushing wound appeared. Yang Shi winced in pain as he got angry. His eyed turned crimson as he jumped backward and delivered a kick on the abdomen of the woman. But the woman also a good fighter, as she twisted her waist to evade the kick.

    The woman waspletely naked, while she was fighting. The breasts jiggled heavily. Her plump butt and willowy waist distracted Yang Shi for a moment and he got hit again by the whip.

    For the first time, Yang Shimet a powerful opponent, so he didn''t dare to be careless.

    " You dare to intrude the manner of Zhu and tried to assassinate my brother? Die, you bastard." The woman shouted, " Graceful Water Snake, Slithering Swing." The whip multiplied and waves came at Yang Shi, Like tens of Water Snake came charging at him.

    Yang Shi got furious, but suddenly his heart grew calm and he focused on the iing attack. He gripped two daggers, one in each hand.

    He roared and his hand turned blur. With many nking sound, sparks flew all over the room.

    The woman got surprised, seeing how Yang Shi blocked her attack. Yang Shi got the chance, he used all his attack and threw both of his daggers at full speed.

    The woman saw the two iing daggers and tried to dodge them. She dodged one of them but the second one hit her shoulder. She grimaced in pain. She looked at Yang Shi with venomous eyes. She again picked up her whip to attack Yang Shi.

    Seeing, she is still alive, Yang Shi threw caution to the wind and rushed at her.

    His body was already burning under the effect of Sr Yang Flower and Illusory Dream Leaves. If he didn''t treat it, he will die under the pain.

    Yang Shi rushed at the woman using Myriad Ghost Steps, and shouted, " me Spike"

    A crimson light illuminated the room and blood spilled.

 Chapter 29: Danger and Reward

    Chapter 29: Danger and Reward

    Even Yang Shi threw both of his daggers at the woman, with great speed, She only injured. Yang Shi went crazy to see this. So in thest moment, he used [me Spike], Which he never used before.

    As he channeled his Qi, mes materialized out of thin air and took shape of a spike. The spike was around Thirty centimeters long and thick as a fist. It looked a little unstable as Yang Shi never used it before.

    When the woman saw Yang Shi was charging at him with a ming spike, She sensed grave danger. She chanted and a huge flower starting to materialize in front of her. But she could finish her technique, Yang Shi thrust the zing spike in her abdomen. The flower shattered like ss and turned to smoke.

    A huge gap appeared in her stomach as she copsed to the ground. But she was still groaning in pain, didn''t diedpletely.

    For the first time, Yang Shi felt this frustrated. But he also rmed by the true power of Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm cultivators.

    The lust and the bestial nature almost upied the mind of Yang Shi. He looked at the bare body of that woman lustfully. He only wanted to pin down her and ravage her like a beast. His *Little Brother* is already stood proudly and throbbing hard. Yang Shi felt pain, from suppressing his desires.

    Seeing the lustful eyes of Yang Shi, the woman''s eye gleamed. She charmingly said, " I guess, You have enmity with my brother. You did the right thing to kill such scum. Young Master, Please forgive me. Don''t kill me. I will be your woman, your bed warming maid, anything you want."

    She even got up difficulty and showed her all assets in various positions. She hoped with her body, she could survive from death.

    Yang Shi heard this, his me of lust burned even more. He almost hopped on the woman, but stopped by a bit. He looked at the woman and smiled evilly.

    Seeing that smile, the woman felt a little uneasy. This isn''t smiling of man who is gonna fuck, but rather an eerie smile of a demon.

    Yang Shi walked step by step toward the woman. Then he did something unexpected.

    He kicked the wound of the woman. The woman screamed loudly with pain and tumbled backward. Yang Shi picked up two daggers from the ground. He stabbed one in her abdomen, where her DanTian located. And second one stabbed in her for head.

    The best and way to kill a cultivator is to destroy their DanTian. Once the DanTian is destroyed, all the power of the cultivator will be sapped away

    The woman didn''t think that Yang Shi would be this brutal. After struggling for a while, she became motionless.

    With blood sttered on his face, Yang Shi looked like a bloodthirsty demon. The guards already rushing here, hearing such a loudmotion. Yang Shi jumped from the window and escaped.

    Two guards saw Yang Shi, but with maddened state, Yang Shi killed them. He rushed out from ck Sand Town and copsed on the road to Misty Tower City.

    He lied on the road, clutching his crotch with a painful expression. He should have fucked that woman, But he didn'' regret it. He isn''t willing to give his virginity to a slut.

    All creature body has the bnce of Yin and Yang. Men normally have a high Yang energy and Women have high Yin energy. This ismon unless they have any special constitution.

    Things like aphrodisiac stimte their primary energy by increasing it. If their bnce of Yin and Yang disrupts, they will experience immense pain and they will die from it. So they need to do with the opposite sex, to bnce their Yin and Yang.

    Yang Shi''s Yang energy is increasing dramatically. Yang has to cast out his excessive Yang energy, else he will die horribly.

    " I guess, I have to do this." Yang Shi clutched his rod, and began to shake it.

    *Haah Haaaah*

    For the entire three hours, Yang Shi released his juice, then he calmed down a little. Thankfully, it was only Sr Yang Flower, which only increase Yang Energy. So Yang Shi able to release the extra Yang energy through masturbation.

    If it was a mixture of both Yin and Yang type herb, Without doing sex, Yang Shi''s soul would be in heaven now.

    After releasing all his juice, Yang Shi got up and rushed to Misty Tower City. It was almost dawn. Yang Shi entered the inn and slept all day long. Yang Shi was very tired by the fightst night. He woke up in the evening, took a bath, and headed for the Blood Moon Hall.

    He entered the old shop and saw the old man.

    " Here, I killed him." Yang Shi told the old man.

    " Hmm. Very good. To able to kill a Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm Cultivator with your strength is very impressive. The Old man praised.

    *Bruh* " I almost lost my life. Now, Where is my reward?" Yang Shi asked impatiently.

    " Here." The Old Man gave Yang Shi a bag full of gold coins. The tinkling sounds of coins improved the mood of Yang Shi.

    The Old Man also gave Yang shi a pill bottle. Yang Shi opened and sniffed. " Yes, The Spirit Gathering Pill."

    Yang Shi prepared to leave, but the Old man stopped him.

    " Don''t you want your next mission?"

    " Nah, I got enough money for a while. I will back when I need money again." Yang Shi escaped already.

    He ain''t a masochist. He won''t go to such a life threatening mission, If he is not prepared. Yang Shi already understood that only practicing martial arts is foolishness. He also needs to have some powerful magic arts.

    He also felt the true power of Primordial Spirit Awakening realm experts. Yang Shi felt the urgency to increase his cultivation. He sat on his bed and opened the bottle.

    Spirit Gathering Pills are the most used pill in Spiritual Ascension Realm. These pills contain a vast amount of Spiritual Qi and medicinal power. So one can breakthrough stages easily. Of course, Too much eating pills can decrease its effects.

    For Yang Shi, this is the fastest method to increase his cultivation.

    He took out six, round pills out of it. A refreshing aroma spread the entire room. Yang Shi hesitated a bit but popped all the pills in his mouth.

    *BOOOM* With a powerful momentum, arge amount of Spiritual Qi gushed to Yang Shi''s body.

    Yang Shi closed his eyes and channeled his Spiritual Qi through his body.

    He broke through the eighth stage of Spiritual Ascension Realm and slowly charged toward the ninth stage.

    " Just a bit and I will reach primordial Spirit Awakening Realm."

 Chapter 30: Money is Flying away.... Time for Work

    Chapter 30: Money is Flying away.... Time for Work

    The spiritual Qi dispersed after Yang Shi reached the Ninth Stage of the Spiritual Ascension realm.

    " Damn, A little more." Yang Shi cursed, but he didn''t achieve a breakthrough.

    " It seems, I need some more pills." Yang Shi thought inwardly. He got up from the bed and went to eat some breakfast.

    " Today, I want your Eight Spice Soup With zing Turtle''s meat and Three Feather Chicken Stew." Yang Shi ordered.

    " It seems Sir is in a good mood today." The waiter smiled.

    " Ye, Got some good money." Yang Shi nodded with augh. He is so hungry that he can eat two whole cows. Today, Yang Shi will eat his fill.

    After a little while, tes of delicious food came. Yang Shi didn''t show any courtesy and dived on the food.

    " Hmm, Taste is quite good." Yang Shi praised in his heart.

    " Bring also a jar of good wine." Yang Shi ordered.

    The waiter brought a jar of wine. Yang Shi gulped two mouthful of wine and said, " Nah, Not strong enough."

    " It seems costumer''s wine capacity is very high. With two gulps of our Spirit Wine, peoples face will be red." The waiter exined.

    " Really?" Yang Shi asked with doubt.

    " Yes." The waiter hastily replied, " Our inn is the best inn of Misty Tower City."

    " So, How much the bill?"

    " Sir, Fifteen Hundred Gold Coins."

    Even though Yang Shi was willing to spend, Fifteen Hundred gold coins still hurt him a bit.

    " Don''t worry boi. Soon, You will be sleeping on the bed of Gold." Yang Shi consoled himself.

    Yang Shi quickly finished his food and went out. He again walked to the general market. He saw various hawkers are shouting about their product. Yang Shi smiled and walked. He liked the bustling atmosphere.

    As Yang Shi passed by the hawkers, He also saw many types of herbs, weapons, treasures. Of course, most of them are fake. Yang Shi was walking but suddenly stopped. He looked at a small crimson fruit, size of a baby''s fist.

    " Sir, What is this?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

    The hawker said with enthusiasm," Customer has a sharp eye. This nt is a five hundred year old Blood Refining Peach. It will help to refine your blood and help you to breakthrough."

    " Hmm, So what is your price?" Yang Shi asked

    " Twenty Five thousand gold coin." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

    "....."

    Yang Shi smiled, with a forced face.

    " Don''t you think it''s a little high?" Yang Shi said angrily.

    " The price all correct. Well, I also have to fill the stomach of my family." The shopkeeper said pitifully.

    " No, lessen the price." Yang Shi said directly, without showing emotion.

    " I won''t." The shopkeeper also a tough nut to crack. He is also doing the business for years.

    " See its age is low and look at its color, it isn''t enough red. It is malnourished." Yang Shi pointed out. " So finale price is ten thousand gold coins."

    " Hell, Twenty thousand gold coins." The shopkeeper shouted.

    " Twenty thousand is still much." Yang Shi roared.

    " Fifteen thousand. Deal or Fuck off." The shopkeeper said sternly. He isn''t willing to less even one coin.

    *Sigh* " Fine Fine, Give it to me." Yang Shi threw him the coin pouch and took the fruit.

    " Fuck, All money is gone. I am poor again." Yang Shi sighed deeply. Yang Shi took the fruit and came back to the inn.

    This fruit will help him to break through the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm and it can also help him to reach [Blood Saturation Stage] of Origin Chaos Energy Art.

    Yang Shi took a deep breath and ate the fruit. The true potential of medicinal herbs wille out When it is refined into a pill.

    But Yang Shi doesn''t have enough money to buy a pill for breakthrough. So he has to eat it raw. A fiery feeling spread through his body.

    Yang Shi felt his body is boiling. He began to sweat in bullets. His body turned to red, like a molten iron. Yang Shi channeled his Qi to his DanTian and slowly moved it to his forehead.

    " Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. Be One with Heaven and Earth. Let the ancestral Spirit to be awake." Yang Shi chanted in his mind.

    His blood is boiling like water, Yang Shi felt, that his blood will melt his entire body. With his blood beginning to churn, his blood slowly changed its color. It''s color changed to a shade of orange. One would think its a small stream of moltenva.

    Yang Shi almost freaked to see his blood change.

    " Holy Shit. Just What is Origin Chaos Energy Art? My blood now looking like moltenva." Yang Shi screamed in his mind.

    " But I can feel my power is slowly rising." Yang Shi thought. The momentum of Qi in his body slowly slowed down.

    In the end, Yang Shi is still unable to breakthrough to Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm.

    " Damn. Again Failure. Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm is difficult to reach." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    But the good thing is, He sessfully entered the [Blood Saturation Realm]. But there was no mention about blood changing its color, in the Origin Chaos Energy Art. So Yang Shi began to panic a little.

    He could only bet on his luck and go forward. There is no turning back from here. Yang Shi took a deep breath and went to practice [Cresent Wind de], [me Spike], and [Radiant Guard]

    He has to reach the second stage of [Radiant Guard] - Magic protection. In this stage, He can stop the opponents Magic Technique.

    Yang Shi has a lingering fear of the Zhu Woman''s [Graceful Snake] and [Petal Storm] Technique.

    If he had been a little careless, his body would have ripped to shreds. And if he hadn''t attacked before she cast her Flower Shield, Yang Shi wouldn''t be able to injure her with [me Spike].

    From looks, Her magic techniques looked like a high level Yellow Grade Technique. And Yang Shi''s [me Spike] and [cresent Wind de] is at low-level Yellow grade techniques.

    Only [Radiant Guard] is a purple grade technique, But Yang Shi hadn''t practiced much. After five days of continuous practice, Yang Shipletely mastered [Cresent Wind de] and reached a high level of [me Spike]. He also reached the Magic Protection stage of [Radiant Guard]

    And also additionally, His all money has gone. So Yang Shi thought to take another mission of assassination.

    In that night, he again went to the Blood Moon Hall. He entered the broken shop and saw the old man.

    Seeing Yang Shi, The Old Man smiled and said, " So all money is gone?"

    " Yeh," Yang Shi smiled bitterly.

    " Come with me." The old man asked Yang Shi to follow him.

    The Old Man pushed a table aside. In front of Yang Shi''s eyes, a secret passage appeared, beneath the old table.

    " Come inside." The Old Man said.

    Yang Shi nodded and entered the narrow pass

 Chapter 31: Old Theft Tricks

    Chapter 31: Old Theft Tricks

    When the light appeared, Yang Shi felt like he is standing in a different ce. It was a huge hall, beneath the ground. Lots of peoples areing and going. Most Of them wore masks or hoods, to not to expose their identity.

    The Old Man walked to the counter and told Yang Shi," This is the mission hall, the interior of Blood Moon Hall. Although we are infamous for assassinations, There are other bounties as well. You can pick them andplete them in time to get a reward."

    " So one can pick any of the mission and get its reward?" Yang Shi question.

    " Theoretically, Yes. But you can''t choose them. Let me give you an example - Will you choose a mission to kill a Violet Pce Expansion Expert? Unless you are retard or Fully confident to kill him with your power, You will never choose this, With your current power."

    " There are also some group missions. But they are very rare. These missions are exceedingly dangerous because they require lots of peoples toplete it, But the rewards are plenty." Yang Shi listened to Old Man.

    " So What is your position here?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Me? I am just an Old man, Who guides peoples." The Old man said mysteriously.

    " Are you?" Yang Shi didn''t believe it. His instinct telling him that, This harmless Old man is the most dangerous person here.

    But Yang Shi didn''t mind and went to the counter.

    " I want a mission." Yang Shi said to the middle-aged man, Who was sitting on the chair.

    The man looked Yang Shi and handed him Three Scrolls.

    [1] Kill Three Bandits named -Blood Hand, Blood Saber, and Blood Ghost. Their Last location was 150 km far from Misty Town City, around Deep Sky Forst region. All of Them are at Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm.

    Bounty- 45000 Gold Coins

    [2] Kill The Ye Zheng, The son of Merchant Ye. His cultivation is the first stage of the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. Bad at fighting, Always Fooling around Jade Lake Pce for gambling. Has three bodyguards of the third stage of the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm.

    Bounty- 35000 Gold Coins

    " Yes. This one." Yang Shi picked the second one, Without hesitation.

    The Jade Lake Pce is in the western part of Misty Tower City. Its the gathering ce of rich Young Masters. It like a brothel and a gambling house. So ordinary people can''t enter to spend that much money. Yang Shi had heard the name of this ce. He always wanted to go there, for fun.

    " Hmm, Three Bodyguards has decent cultivation. But I can kill this Ye Zheng secretly, Then I don''t need to worried about those three." Yang Shi made a n in his mind.

    The time for mission is two days. After two days, Ye

    Zheng will go to another ce.

    " Wait! The mission is posted yesterday, so only one day of time remained. People gather in Jadeke Pce at night, So tomorrow night is final." Yang Shi felt a headache by the pressing time.

    But Yang Shi determined to take this. So the scroll burned and a Blood Moon appeared on his hand. " I need to prepare somethings."

    Yang Shi came back to the inn and went to Hundred Gold Pavilion. He went straight to Mr Huang.

    Seeing Yang Shi, Mr. Huang smiled, " Has the customer made his mind to sell the beast core?"

    " Hahahaha. It seems Mr. Huang knows. Yes, I came to sell it. What''s the price"

    " Six Thousand gold coins..." Mr. Huang probed.

    " What''s the price of Grade One healing pills? Yang Shi asked.

    " Three for Four Thousand Gold coins." Mr. Huang said.

    " How about Energy Restoration pills?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " Three for Six Thousand gold coins."

    " Then, Can we trade this core for three Healing pills and one Energy Restoration pills?" Yang Shi offred.

    " Hmm... Ok." Mr. Huang nodded after thinking a while.

    " Good." Yang Shi took three Healing pills and an Energy Restoration pill.

    A healing pill helps to heal the injury to some extent. But it is effectless against grievous, deadly injuries.

    Energy Restoration pill helps to restore the Spiritual Qi of a cultivator. Without Spiritual Qi, A cultivator can only wait for death. This pill only works on Spiritual Ascension Realm and initial stages of the Primordial Spirit Awakening realm.

    Yang Shi has be cautious from thest mission. He has to take measures against all sorts of situations. He is very frustrated to sell his beast core, but here, Danger is proportional to reward.

    Yang Shi prepared for his next mission. In one night, He practiced all of his techniques.

    "Let''s roll out." Yang shi set out for his new target.

    In the evening, Yang Shi walked proudly in the city, behaving like a rich young man. When he arrived in front of Jade Lake Pce, His eyes went wide like a football.

    " TH-THIS IS TOO EXTRAVAGANT." Yang Shi saw a giant ce ahead. It was adorned with pearls and jades. The front garden has various beautiful flowers. It wasvishly decorated. Young men and women with expensive clothes are entering and exiting.

    Yang Shi saw two bodyguards are standing at the doorstep. They are taking the entry fees.

    " Fuck, I have no money. What to do..." Yang Shi looked around. He saw a fatty wearing expensive clothes swaggered on the road. He is also going to Jade Lake Pce.

    Yang Shi saw the pouch of money on his waist.

    " A fat cat. Heheheh. Let''s try that trick." Yang Shi smiled wickedly as he tailed the fatty.

    " Ah, Young Master, Your money is falling!" Yang Shi shouted at the fatty, showing him some gold coin lying on the road.

    " Huh? What?" The Fatty also looked at the coins and went to pick it. Yang Shi swayed his arms and passed by him quickly.

    The Fatty looked both sides and thought, " It''s just two coins.'' He didn''t mind much and walked to the Pce.

    He opened his pouch to took out the entry fees, but What he took out, was pebbles.

    " WHAT?!" the fatty screamed and turned the pouch upside down. First, It wasn''t his purse, Second, it is filled with sand and pebble.

    " Thief, THIEF!!" The fatty shouted.

    ...................

    " HAHAHAHAHA. This trick always workes." Yang Shi already inside of the Jade Lake Pce and counting the gold coins in the purse.

    Of course, The Thief was naturally Yang Shi.

 Chapter 32: Jade Lake Palace

    Chapter 32: Jade Lake Pce

    " Hmm.. Hmm? What The hell? Only Ten Thousand Gold coins? *Bruh* And I thought it was some rich fatty." Yang Shi shook his head with disappointment.

    Ten thousand gold coins isn''t much for him now. But since he have 0 coins, it is still a good amount for him.

    " Hmm, Let me check inside." Yang Shi entered the pce. The moment he stepped in. His eyes dazzled with the radiance.

    " Oh boy, this Jade Lake Pce is far too extravagant." Back on Earth, Yang Shi a poor boy, so he had never gone to ces like the red-light district and such.

    Although he had seen prostitutes in pubs, He didn''t go to them, Cause of money.

    So when Yang Shi entered the Jade Lake Pce, the scene in front of him instantly ensnarled his little heart.

    Waves of perfume wafted over, fragrant flowers drifted as pink veils danced about. Many wonderful figures twirled around, their bodies packing postures of all kinds with so many different styles.

    Just one nce and one wouldn''t be able to look away. Each and every single one of them had dazzling eyshes, intoxicating eyes, and exquisite bodies. It was quite the show.

    It was a luscious feast for Yang Shi''s eyes.

    " Oh lord, Such extravagance. Wew."

    After Yang Shi had taken in all of the scenery, he felt that the people of the imperial city were far too extravagant with their lives.

    If this were back on Earth, it would have been closed down so many times; it waspletely poisonous [Sinfully Pleasureful] to the eyes.

    Yang Shi''s breathing be haggard. A long lost feeling of lust, enveloped his mind.

    " Damn, This feeling again." Yang Shi felt a simr lusty feeling when he saw Zhu Wei and her elder sister doing sex.

    The moment Yang Shi saw her bare body, He felt a simr urge. Back then he thought it was the effect of Sr Yang Flower and Illusory Dream Leaves. But now he know it wasn''t the cause.

    " Is it that I am naturally horny? NO, No No... Then Why I am feeling so much horny?" Yang Shi pondered and sat on a luxurious couch. He closed his eyes. The image of Azure Blue Lotus and Fiery Lily came to his eyesight.

    " HMM? Wait, Since When did the second petal of the Lilly awakened?" Yang Shi was surprised.

    Originally, The Red Lilly had Three long leaves. After he killed the bandit- Fatty Ku and entered the maddened state of anger and rage, The first petal got bright. The other two petals are in dim state.

    But now, The second petal was started to glowing. This means the feeling of lust came from the second petal.

    " Wait, Anger then Lust... Isn''t This the Seven Sins?" But there are only three petals here. I have to carefully think about it."

    Yang Shi hadn''t forgotten his purpose foring to the Jade Lake Pce, but since he hadn''t found out the Ye Zheng yet, he decided it would best to wait and observe the situation before doing anything.

    " Seven Sins, three petals. Anger then Lust... I am so confused." Yang Shi''s thoughts became muddled. Then a heftyughter sounded his mind.

    " After such a long time, You finally got a clue." A voice said to him. Hearing the voice Yang Shi got surprised.

    "It''s you, Samsara Emperor. Can You tell me about Lotus and Lilly?" Yang Shi asked quickly.

    *Bruh* " I thought you will figure it out yourself. Who thought You are so stupid? You are still haven''t reached Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. Then How you gonnaplete the mission to reach the peak of Violet Pce Expansion Realm?" The Emperor scolded Yang Shi in one go.

    " What the fuck? It is all your fault. You should give some practical treasure. Your memory is broken, there isn''t a single useful thing. And also no information about the Lotus and the Lilly. No technique I can use. And You are scolding me?" Yang Shi barked back.

    " Its you who is useless. The Azure Lotus and the Fiery Lilly is so powerful treasures, but you couldn''t utilize a bit. Anyway, I will give you some useful things now. But even after that, you failed to move forward, This means you are a rotten egg." Yang Shi got a headache as he felt lots of information is pouring in his mind.

    " Your Mom is the rotten egg. I won''t check them now. I am not in the mood. Shooo now." Yang Shi didn''t care anymore and concentrated on the beauties.

    Since he knows that the Lilly won''t harm him, There is no problem with the lusty feeling. Humans had emotions and desires.

    Even people with higher cultivation bases were not unbreakable, Let alone Yang Shi, Who was a poor virgin and had a dull life.

    " Fuck it, I will enjoy first. Aha, Wasn''t there a gambling spot? Lemme Triple My money?"

    He saw lots of peoples are shouting and screaming in one ce.

    " Oh No, I lost again. Fuck my Luck." A man raged with frustration.

    Yang Shi saw they were all ying the game of dice. He wanted to look first. The dice dealer said politely, " Since all fellow brother had yed so much, Have some refreshments."

    Several cups of tea immediately arrived, and were ced in front of the guests. Most of them gulped down the contents of his cup in one go. They all want to focus on gambling.

    Yang Shi also got one, He was about to take a sip When he found something wrong.

    *Sniff* *Sniff* " Ooh, What a marvelous trick." Yang Shi eximed in his mind. He looked again at the gamblers, Who are betting on dices like crazy.

    Yang Shi''s five senses improved by the Azure Lotus. His ability improved by leaps and bounds.

    A sniff of the tea was enough for Yang Shi to detect the presence of a drug in it. The aroma of the tea was simr to that of opium. A person''s state of mind would be hugely affected once they had consumed this drug.

    However, the drug may not have an adverse effect on one''s body. Because one would be suspicious if the effect will be obvious. So there is a very small amount of drugs in the tea.

    Yang Shi cleverly bumped with another person and dropped his teacup.

    " Oh Sorry." He politely asked the sorry and looked at the gambling table.

    Peoples are betting Five thousand gold coins to Thirty thousand gold coins. After watching five rounds of match, Yang Shi finally grasped the trick of dice.

    " Hahahahaha, Its time for some easy money." Yang Shi smirked and went to the table.

    " I bet Ten thousand."

    A new person joined the game.

 Chapter 33: Schemes to Kill

    Chapter 33: Schemes to Kill

    " Aha, So this Young Noble want to bet Ten Thousand Gold Coins?" The Dealer asked with a smile.

    " Yes. Let it be big." Yang Shi said with a smile.

    " Let me start a new game then." The dealer said.

    " Tell me, what are the rules of the game? The higher value wins or the smaller? Or are we guessing the values?" Yang Shi asked in an impatient manner.

    The dealer became ecstatic," "We can bet either on higher or on smaller scores. What do you think?"

    " Ok. The Bigger value wins." Yang Shi agreed. Ther are three dices on the board.

    The dealer first threw the dice. He got two Fives and a Six. Total was Sixteen points. Yang Shi needs to get at least 17 to win.

    Yang Shi picked the dice, but he cursed in his heart. " Damn it, not only they drugged the tea, but also tempered the dice." He could feel that the weight of dice are not bnced. It can cause a person to lose.

    The dice weren''t weighing to one side. This meant that the dice weren''t filled with one type of metal. Yang Shi understood that the dice were filled with mercury as they were uniform in weight.

    Only the person familiar with these kinds of dice could roll out his desired score. An average person couldn''t do anything about it even if he knew that he had been cheated. However, Yang Shi

    Yang Shi exhaled a long breath. He then twisted his wrist and tossed the dice into the dice cup. The dice collided with the cup with a loud sound. Simultaneously, Yang Shi ced his right hand on the table and issued a thin strand of Internal energy toward the dice cup.

    Using Spiritual Qi in this game is considered cheating, But who can possibly identify Yang Shi''s special Internal Energy. This is the special cheat of Yang Shi.

    Everyone''s eyes were widened in shock as they saw the dice rolling in the cup. The dice kept on rolling for a short while beforeing to a stop.

    "How''s it possible?" The dealer cried out. He looked depressed. The three dice rolled by Yang Shi disyed the scores of six, five, and another six. His score was one point higher than the Dealer.

    Yang Shi''s money got doubled. But he again betted and won Ten Thousand Gold coins. He had total Thirty Thousand Gold Coins now. But Yang Shi didn''t dare to continue to bet, because of two reasons.

    First, While he was ying, He saw that Ye Zheng came in and went to the Maiden Hall.

    Secondly, He knows the rules of a gambling house well. It would be best if he keep it low.

    The power behind the gambling house and brothels are enormous. And Yang Shi doesn''t want to get caught in unnecessary trouble.

    He quickly withdraw all his money and rushed to Maiden Hall. Maiden hall is basically the main attraction of Jade Lake Pce. Its Where the peoples enjoy with girls.

    But only a few, rich and influential youngsters can afford to sleep with girls. Girls of maiden halls are just proud and throw around. In Yang Shi''s eyes, They are just some thots who need banging.

    Most peoples are only here to see the girls dancing. Some more rich peoples can sit and drink with them. But even that takes too much money. Of course, For powerful n''s people or a Big sect''s disciple are exemption.

    Yang Shi had to pay a fee of five thousand gold coins to enter.

    " Damn, Just to see prostitutes, I have to pay this much." Yang Shi cursed.

    Yang Shi wandered about inside the Maiden Hall. Each room was full. The entire venue had been packed with peoples.

    " Damn, Where is this Ye Zheng? It seems he is already starting to y."

    It was far too early to be going at it within the rooms, so it seemed he needed to wait a bit longer.

    " Hmm." Yang Shi suddenly saw three peoples with Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. The looked like bodyguards. Then also find out a youth, Who is talking sweetly to a beautiful girl.

    " Miss Man''s beauty is truly unrivaled. I can do anything to see your smile. I hope Miss Man will apany me for a night, to discuss about music."

    The youth shamelessly said.

    Due to Yang Shi''s sharp senses, He could hear the talk from far. Yang Shi smirked. He could already guess what kind of musical sound the girl will make on the bed.

    The girl smiled and worriedly said," But I think I am not good enough for you. Young Master Ye is a very busy person after all."

    " Heh, All work can wait before the Miss Man." The young man said.

    This Young man is Ye Zheng. Yang Shi already spotted his prey. From Looks, This young man is just amb for ughter.

    Yang Shi saw two of them are entering the room.

    " Perfect chance. First I have to distract the bodyguards." Yang Shi rushed to the bodyguards and said, " Are you the bodyguards of Youn Master Ye?"

    " Yes. Why Do you ask?" The bodyguard asked sternly. Clearly, he looks powerful.

    " A person was inquiring about the Young Master Ye. He looked very strange. And there was a strange mark on his shoulder. Looked like a moon." Yang Shi said, while pondering.

    Hearing it, The bodyguards face stiffened. One of them worriedly said, " It what we are thinking is true, We have to act fast. Number two, go check out the person. We two will stay here." One of them said.

    The person called number two nodded and asked Yang Shi, " Can You take me to him?

    " Of course, But I think he should have left." Yang Shi said.

    " Juste with me and identify him. We will give you some good reward."

    Yang Shi''s eyes glittered and he agreed immediately. But in his mind, He isughing hard.

    " The trap has been set."

    Number two followed Yang Shi to the gambling hall. Yang Shi saw here and there and said,

    " I guess, We need to split up. That person will get suspicious If he see you. I can do the work of your stead. Here, Please sit and drink tea."

    " Hmm, Ok, But call me If you see him." The bodyguard drank the special fragrant tea of Gambling Hall.

 Chapter 34: Kill, Loot and RUN!

    Chapter 34: Kill, Loot and RUN!

    Yang Shi circled around the ce, But he still kept an eye on the bodyguard. The bodyguard was unaware of the specialty of the tea.

    He was drinking tea and watching the gambling match. Yang Shi came back to him after some time.

    " Sir, I couldn''t find him. I guess he left." Yang Shi said with a depressed tone.

    " Uhm, Ok, I will see from here." The eyes of Number Two turned slightly red. He suddenly said, " Why I am feeling a little dizzy?"

    " Sir, I think you have been doing too much worktely. You should sit here and take rest. I will tell yourpanions." Yang Shi politely said.

    " Why are you helping us?" From Yang Shi''s behavior, The Bodyguard was a little suspicious.

    " Sir, I am just want to run some errand and earn some money for my ill mother." Yang Shi said with a sad tone. " She has been very ill for the past few months. I need money to buy her some medicine." Yang Shi even rubbed his eye hard, to make it red.

    " Oh, Ok." The Bodyguard didn''t mind, as the drug in the tea started to show its effect.

    " Sir, Can you lend me your handkerchief?" Yang Shi asked politely, Nuber Two didn''t mind much and gave Yang Shi his handkerchief.

    Yang Shi took it and rushed to the Ye Zheng room. Before he reached there, He cut his foot and dripped the blood on the handkerchief. The handkerchief dyed red with blood.

    He hurried went to the other two bodyguards and shouted, " Mister Two has caught the suspicious man. He wants your assistance because the person is powerful. Here, He send You this." Yang Shi showed them the red handkerchief.

    Seeing the blood on the Number Two''s handkerchief, Both bodyguards got anxious. The asked Yang Shi to show the way. Yang Shi patted his chest, " He is at the outside of Jade Lake Pce. I will stand here, To guard Young Master Ye. I hope I will get a good reward."

    Both Bodyguards looked at each other and thought, " It should a good idea. Furthermore, This kid hasn''t even reached the Primordial Spirit Realm." They agreed with Yang Shi''s proposal and left to find Number Two.

    Yang Shi smirked and thought, " Let''s meet this Young Master Ye."

    He looked at the locked door. He took out his dagger and created a hole in the door. He peeped inside and saw Ye Zheng wasying over a chair and Miss Man was serving him fruits.

    " Ahh, Lady Man, I don''t want to eat fruits anymore." Ye Zheng said with impatience.

    " So What YoungMaster wants?" Miss Man asked with a confused tone.

    Ye Zheng came near to the girl said, " I want to eat you."

    The girl make a bashful expression and got up to undress. She sweetly said, " It will be my honor to serve you, Young Master Ye."

    Ye Zheng got excited and pulled down his pant. The moment he becamepletely naked, Yang Shi bust in.

    " Hands Up. FBI!!!" Yang Shi shouted.

    " Wh-WHO!?" Ye Zheng frightened and asked Yang Shi. He could only see a man with a ck dress and a mask. Yang Shi looked like a ninja, at the moment.

    " Brat, It seems you have enjoyed a lot." Yang Shi said yfully. Then he took out his Dark Twilight dagger and pitifully said, " Now, Enjoy the rest in Hell."

    Ye Zheng got rmed to see the daggers, so he also pulled out a beautiful long sword and threatened Yang Shi," Brat, I don''t know who you are. But since dared to say this, Die"

    Ye Zheng attacked at the Yang Shi, Yang Shi easily dodged the strike. He looked at the sword and pitifully said, " Such a good sword, but had a useless master. Don''t worry, After your death, I will sell this to a worthy person."

    *Hmph* " First walk alive from here." Ye Zheng sneered and attacked again.

    This time Yang Shi didn''t dodge. He used his left hand''s dagger to stop the sword and stabbed his right hand with another dagger.

    *ARRGGHHH*

    Ye Zheng screamed as the sword fell from his hand. He rolled on the ground, screaming painfully.

    " Number Two, Number One, SAVE ME!!"

    Ye Zheng called his bodyguard. Un fortunately, No one came.

    " Scream more, You bitch. Ah, No, You are just wasting my time. Be a good person in the next life." Yang Shi said deeply, a like monk, But with blood smeared dagger, he looked like a demon.

    " Please, don''t. Don''t kill me. I will give you anything. Money I have a lot. You can also have this Man girl. Just spare me." Ye Zheng begged.

    " Ok bye." Yang Shi didn''t replied him and threw a dagger at his throat and his heart. After struggling a while, Ye Zheng lied motionless.

    The girl surnamed Man had already hid beside the bed. She was shuddering, after seeing the murder of Ye Zheng. Yang Shi wiped out the blood from the dagger and walked, Where the girl hid. The girl''s heartbeat increased as Yang Shi walked near.

    " Come out, Girl." Yang Shi shouted.

    The girl, surnamed Man, walked out behind from bed. She was trembling heavily and used her delicate hands to cover her front body. She almost undressed, to do the discussion with Ye Zheng on bed.

    " I-I saw nothing." The girl said meekly. Afraid of getting killed.

    " Uh Huh. HANDS UP." pointing his dagger, Yang Shi suddenly ordered her.

    The girl started by the sudden order and lifted up her hands. The cloth she held dropped, and a wless body came to sight. She was standing naked in front of Yang Shi, Who was looking at her bare body, with hungry eyes. She became even more afraid.

    Yang Shi suddenly vanished from his spot and appeared in front of the girl. He was standing only an inch apart from her. She could feel the breath of Yang Shi. Yang Shi traced his finger on her face and said wickedly, " Beauty of Maiden Hall truly have justified reputation." Yang Shi shi''s little brother already stood hard.

    " I-I will do what Lord will say." The girl said, with gathering some courage.

    " And You will, because, You don''t have any choice." Saying this, Yang Shi ced his palm on the buttock of the girl. The girl''s face flushed red, feeling her sensitive ce being touched. Yang Shi slowly rubbed and suddenly, grabbed the buttock and squeezed it.

    "Ahhnn." The girl moaned softly, Increasing the excitement of Yang Shi. But Yang Shi''s ear perked as he heard something. He pressed an acupoint of the girl, making her unconscious. Then he looted the sword and the money bag of Ye Zheng and jumped out of the window.

    " Just wait a Lil more. Boi, You will surely lose you your virginity, soon." He said to himself.

    .....................................

    " Where the hell is Number Two?" One of the two bodyguards cursed. Then he suddenly heard amotion in the gambling hall. They saw a person was screaming, while gambling.

    " Th-That''s Number Two." They both looked at each other and rushed to him.

    " Hey, Where is the person?" One of them asked Number Two.

    " Person? Come and y dice. It''s fun?" Number Two said, with drunken eyes.

    " GET UP." One of them pped hard Nuber Two.

    *PAAAA* A crisp sound of pping started everyone in the Gambling Hall.

    " Huh? What? Yes, Where is the Kid?" Number Two halberd, after he sobered up.

    " Kid? Yes, That Kid... Where is He?" Three of them asked each other.

    " SHIT." One of them thought something and rushed to the Ye Zheng''s Room.

 Chapter 35: Escape

    Chapter 35: Escape

    The guards hurriedly entered the room. They almost died due to a heart attack.

    " NO, Young Master Ye. YOUNG MASTER YE. DAMN!" They tried to wake up Ye Zheng, But how can a dead person cane back?

    " Damn, It must be that fucking Kid." The bodyguard''s heart was filled with anger and dread.

    Ye Zheng was the only son of Merchant Ye. He is a very influential person in Misty Tower City. The bodyguards may have a decent strength, but only death awaits them if they couldn''t capture Yang Shi.

    " Hey looks. It seems that the kid escaped from here." One of the bodyguards shouted. They looked at the path.

    " I will follow this way. You two guard the exit of Jade Lake Pce. I think that the murderer is still here." One of them said solemnly.

    They have to catch the murderer, else they are good as dead.

    ...........................

    " Wew, that was pretty easy. Fooling those guards required so little effort." Yang Shi was dashing out from the Jade Lake Pavilion, a giant fireball shooted at him.

    " WHAT?!!!" Yang Shi hurriedly dodged the fireball. The ground charred ck by the impact.

    " Kid, You have guts to killed our Young Master. Now prepare to endure the tortures of hell." A person emerged from the darkness and spoked coldly to Yang Shi.

    This one of three bodyguards of Ye Zheng. Yang Shi didn''t think that they will catch up to him this soon. This time, he didn''t try to escape, but dashed at the bodyguard.

    *Swish**Swish*

    Light shed as the dagger shed. With a swirling sound, two dagger chopped at the bodyguard.

    The bodyguard surprised as he hurriedly tried to dodge. He never thought that a weak looking Yang Shi could unleash such an attack.

    " Hmph, Even You have strength, Its far from enough to defeat me." The Bodyguard sneered as he pulled out his broad sword and hacked at Yang Shi.

    Even though the Sword looked heavy, The bodyguard effortlessly weld it. A gust of winds blew, when he shed his sword.

    Doing a backflip, Yang Shi waved his arm and shouted " Cresent Wind de."

    *Swooosh*

    Four formless gusts of wind shot at the bodyguard. The bodyguard shouted as he used a sword sh to break the wind des. Three des got destroyed, while one damaged his arm.

    Blood dripped down his arm as he cried in pain. Yang Shi didn''t waste his time and rushed at the bodyguard. He made a hand seal and a spike of me materialized in his hands.

    " me Spike." Yang Shi threw the spike at the bodyguard. The bodyguard saw the iing attack and hurriedly tried to dodge it.

    While He dodged this attack, Yang Shi threw one of his dagger to his leg. The dagger flew and punctured the left leg of the bodyguard. The bodyguard stumbled but didn''t fell.

    The bodyguard now getting restless, seeing the power of Yang Shi. Although he reached the Primordial Spirit Realm, He didn''t have good technique or weapon. So he is scared by Yang Shi now.He loudly shouted, " Number Two, Old One, HELP ME!!."

    " Damn, Stop shouting." Yang Shi grew worried. If reinforcementes, He is going to die here.

    " Time to finish this in one stroke." Yang Shi didn;t wasted the time and closed his eyes.

    Then in a slow-motion, He drew his dagger. Then his hand blurred as blood burst.

    The headless body of the bodyguard tumbled down. His decapitated head still has an expression of surprise. Even in the ned, He still didn''t know how he died.

    Blood dripped down from Yang Shi''s arms as his mind filled with pain. He just use Swift Shadow sh of [ Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art]

    This technique was supposed to utilized by a long sword. And Yang Shi didn''t practice well. So he received a bacsh. His vein couldn''t handle the power of Internal Energy.

    But The result was enough for Yang Shi. He was able to kill the bodyguard swiftly. He dashed out from Jade Lake Pce. When the other two bodyguards reached the ce, They could only saw the headless body of theirpanion.

    " Damned Fucker." They roared.

    .......................................

    *Phew* " Finally, I am free." Yang Shi came to the Blood Moon Hall and received 35000 Gold Cois.

    " Ok, So total I have around 70000 Gold Coins." Yang Shi was ted to think this.

    " Now Now, My first Priority will be breaking through the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm." Yang Shi decided. The next day, Yang Shi bought a Scarlet Blood Grass, A Golden LingZhi, A Calm Spirit Fruit.

    " This Should be enough. I am at the Peak of Ninth Stage of Spiritual Ascension. So a little push will be enough." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    Yang Shi ate the Scarlet Blood Grass. His blood began to churn again. From Bright firey color, it changed to a golden liquid.

    " Holy Fuck. What is happening to my Blood. Origin Chaos Energy Art is truly strange." Yang Shi grimaced.

    It seems the [Blood Saturation Stage] is more than the eye meets. First, his ordinary blood changed to a fiery orange color. Now its in golden color. It seems his blood is slowly going under transformation. It took half a day to finish this process. Yang Shi used both the Golden LingZhi and Calm Spirit Fruit. The spiritual energy was enough for anyone to reach the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. But For Yang Shi, It''s still not enough.

    " What the fuck with this garbage body? How can I ascend to Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm?" Yang Shi roared in mind.

    " Wait, It seems I forgot to check the information about the Azure Lotus and Fiery Lily." Yang Shi remembered the Samsara Emperor.

    He hurriedly closed his eyes and rummaged through his memory, Looking for information.

 Chapter 36: Evil Shadow

    Chapter 36: Evil Shadow

    Yang Shi closed his eyes and started meditation. He found out the information about the Azure Lotus and the Fiery Lilly. His eyes widened when he read the information.

    The true name of the lotus is (Heaven Purification Eternal Dao Lotus)

    " Hmm, That''s some cool name." Yang Shi nodded with satisfaction. ording to Yang Shi''s knowledge, any treasure with a word of Heaven or Dao, is a peerless treasure.

    "Let''s read further. It says, " Connect your mental energy with the lotus. Be one with this." Yang Shi closed his eyes and started the meditation.

    Slowly in his consciousness, He could feel the existence of the lotus. In a dark space, He could see lotus emitting a gentle azure blue light. Yang Shi drifted near the lotus.

    When he touched, his mind suddenly grew calm. Like he is alone, drifting in a vast expanse.

    Yang Shi''s heart suddenly became empty. He is only thinking about how to reach the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm.

    " Be one with heaven and earth. Draw the power of cosmos and awake the spirit."

    Yang Shi could feel that he is advancing toward the next real slowly, But after a while, it stopped.

    Yang Shi silently cursed, " Damn, Still a bit away."

    " Dao is limitless. Dao is eternal. With an unshakable will, Heaven can be toppled. Life, Death, All the Karma, Emotion, and Desires, In the end, everything will vanish to nothingness, Ans Nothingness shall give birth to creation, But Dao will remain the same."

    An ancient voice rang in his mind. It was neither of a man or of a woman. After hearing this Yang Shi ''s heart grew calmer.

    " Dao is everything." Yang Shi said absent mindedly.

    " But Is is called a living being if it had no emotions, no desires?" Another voice spoked in Yang Shi''s heart.

    " A living being has Seven emotions and Six desires. What is the meaning of a soulless body? Cultivation is the way to fulfill the emotions and desires."

    the second voice spoke.

    Within the view of Yang Shi, me burst and the firey Lily appeared. The red and blue aura shed with each other. It looked like The lotus and The Lily was fighting each other.

    " For achieving Dao, All price is eptable."

    " Achieving the Dao isn''t important. What matters is the Journey. Betraying your heart to reach the peak, Can this be called Dao? Never."

    Yang Shi''s mind was a mess. Suddenly he opened his eyes. Beads of bullets are dropping down from his forehead. Yang Shi asked himself, " Who is right? Who is wrong? What is truth and What is false?"

    " Nothing is right or wrong. Evil and Righteousness, All kinds of Dao, merge in the end. There is no Strong or Weak dao, No correct or False Dao. What you do is Dao." Someone said to Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi started to hear the voice of Samsara Emperor.

    " Kid, I am going to tell you the way to reach the Primordial Spirit Realm.

    The blue Lotus symbolizes the Dao path.

    Once a mighty cultivator wished to reach the end of Dao. He severed his everything, All rtionships, all kinds of Worldly ties, all karmic strings. He cultivated the path of Emotionlessness, In the end, he severed his life to achieve the pinnacle. Unfortunately, he didn''t reach. But he gained the enlightenment and materialized his Dao to this lotus.

    The Lily on the other hand, Ha the same story but on a different path. Someone looked at the mortals and got the idea. He cultivated all Seven Emotions and Six Desires. He indulged in the world. He did both Righteousness and Evil. He did what his heart told him. He sought the path amidst the emotions. But in the end, he didn''t achieve it.

    Being Righteous and Evil doesn''t matter, What matters is your heart. Activate the final petals of the Lily to ascend the next realm." Saying this, Samsara Emperor''s voice faded.

    " Three petals of lily represents Anger, Lust, and Geed. Only petal of greed needs to be awakened."

    Yang Shi thought.

    Emotions and Desires are the key, Which draws out the true power of a living being. Among the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, Anger, Lust, and Greed are the most powerful ones. If one controls them, They will be the supreme weapon. If they control the man, Only ruin awaits for him.

    This lily is the perfect treasure to control them.

    " Ok, Time to work hard." Yang Shi decided.

    Time flew and a month passed.

    One night, A person was running in the dark.

    " Spare, PLEASE SPARE ME!!" The person cried.

    In front of his was a ck clothed person with a dark mask. In his hands, Two daggers shone with cold light. The light shed and the blood dyed on the road.

    ........................................

    " Damn, Another assassination happened yesterday. People said that the dead was a worker in the City Lord''s mansion. They are still trying to catch the assassin." A bearded person said loudly While drinking wine.

    " Who else than Evil Shadow? It seems another powerful person joined the Blood Moon Hall." Another person said.

    " Blood Moon Hall is truly badass. Nobody could do anything to them." The bearded personughed.

    A young man asked him, " Who is this Evil Shadow?"

    " I guess You didn''t heard. Evil Shadow is a new Assasin. In just a month, He killed more than ten peoples. Merchant Ye''s son Ye Zheng was also killed by him." The bearded man said deeply.

    " Oh, I see." The Young Man was Yang Shi. He was naturally very happy to hear about Evil Shadow Because that was his nickname in Blood Moon Hall.

    " Damn Them, I wanted a name like Grim Reaper, Emissary of Death or Supreme Demon. But all those names are taken away." *Bruh*

    Yang Shi scolded the Blood Moon Hall in his mind. But then, The bounties are plentiful. Yang Shi now owned 200,000 Gold Coins. He thought about purchasing some high level equipment.

    He went to the Hundred Gold Pavilion. The salesgirl saw Yang Shi and said with a smile," Ah, Its customer Yang. Its been a while since you came here."

    " Yes, Today, I would Like to buy some good weapons." Yang Shi nodded.

    " So what kind of weapon customer wants?" The girl asked.

    " I want a long sword." Yang Shi said

    The salesgirl showed him various spirit swords, Yang Shi liked none of them. With his money, He should be able to buy a decent sword.

    Then he suddenly stopped and pointed at a sword and said, " I want to take a look at that."

 Chapter 37: True Vital Blood

    Chapter 37: True Vital Blood

    " This Sword, Please show that to me." Yang Shi asked.

    " Ah This Sword? This sword was personally made a Grandmaster cksmith. It almost reached the level of True rank. But unfortunately, The cksmithcked a powerful ore. So it couldn''t reach the true rank. But still, It''s a powerful Spirit grade weapon." The girl borated.

    " What''s the Price?" Yang Shi asked.

    " 80,000 Gold Coins." The girl said.

    " Wait, It''s not even True Grade weapon, Why are you charging so much?" Yang Shi rebuked.

    " Customer, The material used in this sword is very precious. A True Grade weapon isn''t easy to find even you have money. So the price is justifiable." The girl said.

    " Still, It''s too much. How about 50,000?" Yang Shi asked.

    " No, That''s just too low." The girl rejected straightly.

    " Ok, I will give you Ten Thousand Gold coin and this sword." Yang Shi took out a sword from his back.

    " I can''t say. You have to ask Mister Huang." The girl shook her head.

    " OK, I will see him." Yang Shi noded.

    ........................

    " Ah, This Golden Sword. Crafted with Sprit gold metal, and the hilt of a Demonic Beast''s Horn. I heard that merchant Ye had a simr Sword." Mr. Huang said with a smile.

    " IS THAT SO?" yang Shi said with a forced smile, but he got rmed inside. " It seems, I have to be careful in the future, else my identity may expose."

    " Customer can be assured, Hundred Gold Pavilion never leaks any information about our customers." Mr. Huang Smiled.

    " I believe so." Yang Shi nodded.

    " Hmm, You have to give twenty thousand more, apart from this sword." Mr Huang said.

    " Ok, That will be enough." Yang Shi agreed.

    The sword name was [Astral sh]

    Light like a feather, fast like lightning and damage like a beast. This sword was perfect for Assassinations.

    .............................................

    Yang Shi was sitting near the window and enjoying his drink. He sighed in his heart, " It has been a month, But I still can''t awake the petal of Greed. What is the thing I desire the most?"

    Yang Shi calmed his mind, " In just a month, From a weak mortal, I have turned into a famed assassin. No wonder why people say, Life is full of twists and turn." Yang Shiughed.

    " So What''s my greed? Money? Power? Beauty? Well. I want them all, But that''s not my greed. It''s just a wish." Yang Shi pondered. He drank an entire bottle of wine.

    He looked at the moon. Suddenly, the memory of his previous life flooded his mind. His childhood, Orphanage, His struggle to live, Meeting with the Old Man, Love with Mei Xian, Mei Xian''s death. His Powerlessness, All the things shed in his mind in a moment.

    " My previous life was garbage. I was powerless, Weak, Abided by the fate. I still remember Mei Xian''s face, When Shi died. That despair, that pain, That sorrow in her eyes, I can''t forget it...

    " But now, I have the power to defy the fate, I have the power to get whatever I want. I have power, And I will gain even more. I will reach the pinnacle of power, Where I don''t have to feel pain, The sorrow of parting from my loved one. My greed, My obsession, To break through the shackles of Heavens and Control my own fate." Yang Shi took a deep breath, and a determined look appeared in his eyes.

    " I don''t have to awake the third petal. I still have away. I will create my own path." Yang Shi rummaged in his Old bag and took out a jade vial.

    This vial was the same vial, Which Yang Shi had picked in the cave of Deep Sky Forest while residing with the Demonic Man.

    The moment Yang Shi opened the vial, a thick scent of blood appeared in the air. Inside of the vial was a bright red liquid, looking like blood. One could feel the immense Spiritual Qi and Vitality in them.

    " The True Vital Blood. I was lucky enough to get this." Yang Shi smirked. Yang Shi got four drops of True Vital Blood from the ancient formation of the Deep Sky forest.

    When the Demonic Man showed that sacrificial altar to concoct the Blood Vitality Pill, Yang Shi already guessed that this altar isn''t that simple. ording to the Samsara Emperor''s memory, This altar has many usage, Other than concocting the blood vitality pill.

    Yang Shi founded the runes of the formations and altered it a bit. With that setting, The altar now draws the most vitality, and Qi from the Blood Pond and covert condense them into True Vital Blood. From the residual Qi and energy, Blood Vitality pills will be made.

    But the Demon Beast and their King didn''t know about this, So Yang Shi tricked them. So when the Demonic Man wanted to gift a Blood Vitality pill to Yang Shi, Yang Shi refused politely, Because he already had a better stuff.

    The True Vital Blood is more potent than the Blood Vitality pill, So one could only use this in the Primordial Spirit Awakening realm. If not, The person will die from excessive energy. But Yang Shi believed that his body will endure the power Because he also cultivated the Origin Chaos Energy Art.

    " Ok, I will first try half of one drop."t Yang Shi took out one drop and precisely halved it. Then he put this his mouth. He could feel the burning sensation spread through his body. Both spiritual qi and Internal energy began to churn.

    The energy turned chaotic inside Yang Shi''s body. Yang Shi felt like he is being boiled inva. Beads of sweat dripped down from Yang Shi''s body. He could see through his mental energy, That his blood again changing. From golden color, It turned back to red. But this wasn''t ordinary red, But bright and glossy red, like a ruby.

    The Internal Energy gushed into Yang Shi''s heart, be, The Seven Apertures, The Five Viscera, and Six Bowels. Yang Shi could feel the thrumming of his internal organs.

    " Internal Organ rumbles, I have reached the Internal Organ Strengthing Realm of Origin Chaos energy art." Yang Shi became happy inside.

    He could also feel that theyer of the Primordial Spirit Awakening realm is also getting near.

    " I will just drink another drop, And I will definitely reach the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm." Yang Shi guessed.

    This True Vital Blood was made from thousand''s of cultivator''s blood and Qi. One drop is enough to grant a person 150years. So if Yang Shi drinks four drops of this, He will get 600 years of life span. So it''s another name is Longevity Blood.

    Cultivator of Spiritual Ascension Realm had a total of 250 years of Lifespan. But Yang Shi''s current age is 17 years. So he is very young.

    While Yang Shi was cultivating, Some extremely strange things already happened in his room.

    When Yang Shi opened his eyes to drink the next drop, His eyes dropped from its socket for what he saw.

    He pulled out his hair in anger and roared, " WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED HERE?!!!!"

    ....

    Some pigeons'' who are sitting on the inns roof, got scared and flew away.

 Chapter 38: Mysterious Egg

    Chapter 38: Mysterious Egg

    For some moments, Yang Shi couldn''t believe what''s in front of his eyes. Yang Shi bellowed in rage and couldn''t think what to to do.

    The vial, Which contained the True Vital Blood, Now lying in broken pieces. But That''s not the issue. The problem is, Yang Shi couldn''t find a droplet of True Vital Blood on the floor. Even it''s spilled, Yang Shi could have collected it.

    It''s like all three and a half drop of True Vital Blood was devoured by someone. Yang Shi could only find a rock, Where the pieces of the vial was lying. This rock was none other than the meteor, Which Long n of Blue Sparrow Kingdom founded.

    Yang shi know, That this meteor contained a good amount of Star Core Iron, an extremely rare ore. But Yang Shi''s current power wasn''t enough to refine the metal from the meteor, So he let is go for a while.

    But now, It seems the meteor is the culprit of What happened here. The strange thing was, There are several small cracks on the meteor now, Which weren''t there before. But Yang Shi was so angry that He didn''t mind the change.

    Yang Shi was sure that if were to sold out the True Vital Blood, Big powers would have given him a hefty sum. He himself could''ve reached at least the Third stage of Primordial Spirit Awakening realm.

    But now, All the ns went to gutter.

    " Y-YOU, LITTLE BASTARD. YOU DAMNED EVIL CREATURE. YOU FUCKING STOLE MY TREASURE!!!! I-I-I....I WILL...DESTROY YOU." Yang Shi was so angry that he was stammering what to say. He picked up the meteor and threw it to the ground.

    The meteor flew like a cannonball and almost destroyed the floor by its momentum. But unexpectedly the meteor broke to pieces.

    Yang Shi didn''t expect that. Star Core Iron is so solid that even a Violet Pce Expansion Realm expert can''t break. Then How the hell the meteor broke?

    The meteor was originally big as a FootBall. Yang Shi found an interesting thing there. There was a golden egg, Lying the floor, Where the meteor smashed.

    Yang Shi picked up the broken rock pieces and confirm that this was indeed pure Star core Iron. The total amount was around a fist, That''s already very good. Yang Shi picked up the golden egg, It''s exterior was rough. Yang Shi could saw faint lines of mysterious patterns.

    While Yang Shi rubbed the egg, He was actually happy now. " So a meteor of Star Core Iron was protecting this golden egg. What could be inside it? A powerful Dragon, Who will call me master? Or a beautiful Phoenix who will ask me to marry her, And

    Made me the son inw of a powerful n?"

    Yang Shi''s drool was dripping on the ground, While pain awakened him, His finger was cut by the egg and his blood dripped down from it. Suddenly he felt his body was electrocuted. A buzzing sense of pain assaulted his mind. He felt the egg was sucking his blood like a vampire.

    The process grew more faster. Yang Shi felt he had already lost a liter of blood. He couldn''t even throw the egg, like it''s stick on his hand like a glue. Yang Shi felt crisis, he feard he will die. His primal sense was telling him, " YOU WILL DIE."

    Yang Shi gritted his teeth, " No, I can''t die like this? I came to this world and Without doing anything, I will die? No, NEVER. Furthermore, Samsara Emperor said that Mei Xian was also reincarnated in this world, Without meeting her, I can''t die. I HAVE TO LIVE AND I WILL." The greed for survival, The greed for his life awakened Yang Shi.

    A red light erupted from Yang Shi''s body as he finally threw the egg. After that, He fell unconscious.

    ....................................

    Yang Shi opened his eyes. He could only see darkness in front of him.

    " I...Am I dead?" Yang Shi questioned, But there was none to give the answer.

    Then suddenly, Inside the darkness, Beneath his feet, an azure blue light shone.

    Yang Shi could see a lotus was blooming beneath his feet. It was the Azure Blue lotus, Just it was massive in size. The lotus slowly bloomed and its infinity petals burst. It''s looked like a petal storm of lotus petals.

    The azure light intensified around Yang Shi. He felt like this light was prating his soul and purifying it. Yang Shi felt he was above the mundane world. He felt rxed and very cut off from the worldly matters.

    Then suddenly, Above his red, A firey red light shone. If the one look, It''s like beneath Yang Shi was a world of Ice and Water, and above his head

    was a world of Fire and Lava.

    Among the red light, a beautiful red lily bloomed. It has three big petals. Although all the petals are red, There was a minute of difference in them.

    One is blood red, One has a shade of purple and another had the shade. Three petals represent Wrath, Lust, and Greed.

    If the Lotus was giving Yang Shi a refreshing cool feeling, The Lily was giving him a Warm and Cozy feeling.

    Both Lotus and the Lily closed by and enveloped the Yang Shi. Yang Shi felt that he will be crushed between them. YangShi closed his eyes out of fear. But after some time, he opened and saw nothing more than darkness.

    " Where the Lotus and The Lily gone? Was that just a dream?" Yang Shi thought. But for some unknown thought, He stretched his left arm. Then a miracle happened.

    Yang Shi''s left arm emitted a red aura as me materialized from it. Withing the me was a red lily. Yang Shi became excited as he stretched out the Right hand. In a simr fashion, Bluse aura shone and an azure lotus bloomed in his hand.

    He felt a icy cold energy in his right hand while a firey hot from his left. Yang Shiughed and suddenly became enlightened.

    " So This is what happened here."

    Suddenly, The space around Yang Shi changed.

    .......................

    *Haaaa* Yang Shi exhaled turbid air as he gasped to consciousness. He saw he was still in the room, Yang Shi stretched his left and right hand, to test.

    " HAHAHAHAHA! FINALLY...."

 Chapter 39: Reward Time

    Chapter 39: Reward Time

    Yang Shi concentrated on his left palm. Suddenly mes burst from it. Yang Shi used [ me Spike] The me condensed into a spearhead. It was way bigger than a spike. It should be called [me Spear].

    Yang Shi threw the me spear at the wall. The spot where it hit, arge hole was made. The wall was charred ck. The me was still burning on the wall.

    Yang Shi clutched his head from excitement, " Holy Shit, That me spike has be a Purple Rank Technique. It can easily injure Primordial Spirit Realm experts with ease. And it also takes less Spiritual Qi."

    Now Yang Shi thought another thing. He stretched his right hand and threw a ball of blue light. The area where the mes are burning, Now covered with ayer of frost.

    " Well, Well, Fire and Water. Two opposite elements, But when they harmonize, Their power can be destructive. Fire and Water are the simplest form of Yin and Yang."

    With fire on one palm and water on another, Yang Shi moved his hand in a circr pattern. Yang Shi closed his eyes and kept moving his arms in a bizarre way. It looked elegant, Like he was performing a ritualistic dance.

    Slowly, The fire and the water rose and spun around Yang Shi. Two Koi Fish of a Fire and Water danced around him. Yang Shi opened his eyes slowly.

    Yang Shi willed and a phantom of Azure Lotus and The Red Lily appeared behind him.

    " Interesting, I broke through the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. The strange thing is, The lotus and the lily has be my Primordial spirits.

    So now, Controlling Fire and water element is a y of my hands. But That''s not I wanted." Yang Shi pondered.

    Yang Shi''s eye shone, " So now, My focus will be on Wind and Wood element." Yang Shi wanted to control the Five Elements, to be urate, He wanted to control seven elements- Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, Metal, Wind, and Lightning.

    Yang Shi already practiced [Cresent Wind de] So he had some understanding about the Wind element.

    Wind element has the better agility for long term running. It also has decent attack power. Wood element is better for Healing, Blocking the enemy, and Alchemy.

    Because Metal and Lightning elements are difficult to cultivate, Yang Shi let them off for now.

    There are two types of Primordial Spirits, Animate Spirits and Inanimate Spirit. Animate spirit is like various Beasts, Warriors, All those spirits that represent living beings. Inanimate spirits are various kinds of tools, Weapons, objects.

    Yang Shi''s spirit goes to the Inanimate ss. It''s said that Animate Spirits are slightly better than Inanimate One, But Yang Shi didn''t mind it much.

    With memory of Samsara Emperor, He can turn trash onto gold.

    Yang Shi looked at the golden egg, Lying on the floor. When he looked at it, He could feel an undescribed terror. Looking innocent, This egg is a freaking like sucker. But thanks to this, Yang Shi awoke the petal of Greed and breakthrough to Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm.

    Yang Shi walked closer to it cautiously. The runic chain has be clear, after drinking Yang Shi''s blood. Yang Shi didn''t dare to touch it.

    " Just what kind of monster living inside this?" Yang Shi stared at the egg. As he was staring, The egg emitted a golden light that blinded Yang Shi. The egg turned to blur and pierced the forehead of Yang Shi.

    " AHHH." Yang Shi screamed as he tumbled backward. He turned to escape but mmed to the wall and fell down. He frantically touched his every ce.

    " Wh-What''s just happened? That Egg? It''s- INSIDE MY DANTIAN?!!" Yang Shi''s mind is filled with fear. He probed inside and saw that the egg was now inside his dantian.

    He tried to fore it out, But he couldn''t. The egg suddenly started to absorb the Internal Energy of Yang Shi shi''s body. Although it was slow, Yang Shi could feel that his Internal Energy was getting eaten the egg.

    " Fuck, First you frank half of my blood, now even eating my precious Internal Energy. What the hell you want?" Yang Shi raged, But he was a bit relied inside. As long as the egg didn''t harm his life, He could adjust a bit.

    *Sigh* " Forget about it. I have more important tasks to do." Yang Shi shook his head and went to cultivate.

    After awakening a Primordial Spirit, It gave you a unique ability. Since Yang Shi has two, He could have Two ability. Yang Shi summoned the Lotus and the Lily checked out their other ability.

    He first tried the ability of the Lotus. His purplish eyes suddenly turned a shade of Azure Blue. Suddenly, Yang Shi could see the world around him more clearly. He could see the tiniest particle in the air, Which couldn''t be seen by normal means.

    Yang Shi looked at the window and focused his eyes- 10 meters, 50 meters, 100 meters, 500 meters, 1 km, 1.5 Km. Yang Shi could see what''s happening 1.5 km ahead of him, Without using Spiritual Qi.

    Then Yang Shi looked around and saw a fly was buzzing around a 100 meters away. He could say the veins of its wing. Yang Shi picked up a small chopstick and threw it after infusing Qi.

    *Swissh* The chopstick darted like a bullet and pierced the fly. " HAHAHAHAHAH, My vision is even more powerful than Earth''s top sniper rifle."

    Then Yang Shi closed his eyes and listened, " Brother Zhi, I will pay the money tomorrow, Please let me off for now."

    " No, No, You have to pay today, Else I won''t let you go." Yang Shi opened his eyes and looked, Fifty meters ahead of him was a shop, Where two people are talking.

    " So, The ability I got from the Lotus is [Godly Sense] My five sense''s power increased dramatically. Hmm, Let''s check out the Lily''s ability."

    Yang Shi summoned the red lily and tried out its ability. His eyes turned crimson and he could feel an undescribed power surging through his body. A vast amount of Spiritual Qi gushed into Yang Shi''s body. Yang Shi harrumphed and punched his arm, Without any Qi.

    *BOOOM!!!* A hole, size of a human head was made on the wall. The person in the next room was jumped from shock. " What the hell are you doing?" That person raged. He was changing cloth inside, So naturally, he was angry."

    " Ahahaha, sorry." Yang Shi scratched his head and apologized to the person. [ Damn, What''s its an Old dude? Can''t it be a Young Lay, who was changing the clothes?]

    The ability of the Lily was to is to draw the Spiritual Qi more faster and refine the body. So this ability can Yang Shi to recover his lost Spiritual Qi while battling. It also refine his body and makes it more sturdy, so it willplement the Origin Chaos Energy Art.

    " AHAHAHAHA, I AM SO HAPPY. Finally, after a long time of waiting, I got some good rewards." Yang Shi''s happy mood became a little dry after he looked at his messy room.

    " Damn, It seems I have to pay for the expenses." Yang Shi had to pay a dozen thousand gold coins now.

    As he was thinking a light screen appeared

    " Congrattions on breaking through the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. Now you will get a special Reward." The screen showed the message.

    " Really?" Yang Shi became ecstatic.

    Chapter 40: At work again

    " Holy Shit, A special Reward from system? What is it?" Yang Shi asked happily.

    " Host will get a special bloodline. Please choose a remote and quiet ce for Blood fusion."

    " Fuck, A bloodline. What Will I get? An Imperial Dragon Bloodline or Heavenly Phoenix Bloodline? Oh, I could also get a God Bloodline." Yang Shi could already think a dozen of things.

    " Hmm, It says a remote ce...Should I go to the Deep Sky forest?" Yang Shi pondered. " Well, I think I should go to a mission. Not only I will try out my new powers, but also I could do Blood Fusion." Yang Shi already decided. He looked at the newly bought sword.

    It was 5 chi in length and 1.5 inches in width. It was pale dark. It''s light, Swift, Durable, Perfect for an assassin. " Don''t worry, Little Fellow, Soon I will merge Star Core Iron in you and give You a name."

    The original crafter of this sword didn''t give it a name, Because it was an unfinished product. But Yang Shi believed this sword is perfect for him.

    Yang Shi put this sword in his waist and headed for the Blood Moon Hall.

    " Time for some work."

    ..................

    " Ahahaha, Evil Shadow, Long time no see." The old manughed a Yang Shi. Yang Shi silently used his eye technique on the Old Man, Try to probe his cultivation realm.

    From the first day, Yang Shi knew that this old man in Blood Moon Hall is definitely not simple. And since he had gained the ability from the Lotus, He will definitely know it.

    Yang Shi suddenly felt that he was standing amidst a sea of blood. A chill rose from his spine and his hair stood on its end. Yang Shi quickly canceled his technique. He was sweating profusely.

    The Old Man grinned, Knowing What Yang Shi had done now. He said, " Aren''t you are being disrespectful, Peering on an elder?"

    " Fuck you, Old man, Even You are powerful, So what? Don''t mess with me, else...Hehe." Yang Shi showed his fist to the old man and threatened him like a thug.

    The Old Man sighed, " Aiii, Youngsters these days..."

    Yang Shi joked with the Old Man because he didn''t felt any malice from him. Yang Shi guessed the this old man is definitely at the Violet Pce Expansion Realm.

    " By the way, You haven''t told me your name yet?" Yang Shi said the old man.

    " Well, People called me Old Ghost, Because I am just too old." The old man said with a smile.

    " Old Ghost huh?" Yang Shiughed hearing this name. " Anyway, I have to go now." Yang Shi said.

    " Well, Evil Shadow has made quite a name in Misty Tower City, Huh?" The Old Ghost said.

    " Hehehehe." Yang Shiughed as he escaped to the mission hall.

    " This kid is very interesting." The Old Ghost smirked, " Let''s test him a bit."

    .................

    " Huh, The Blood Brother bandits are still alive?" Yang Shi eximed. This mission was herest time, But Yang Shi choose to assassinate Ye Zheng.

    " Well, Actually, a person picked this mission, But he died there." The middle aged man in the mission hall spoke.

    " Hmm, Killing three peoples of Primordial Spirit Realm doesn''t sound too difficult, right?" Yang Shi probed.

    " Not really, But we have new input that they are colluding with some disciples of a sect."

    " Wow, Now even a sect is involved in this?" Yang Shi didn''t expect it.

    " Yes, Some disciple of Golden Sun sect are in this."

    " Golden Sun sect? Sure, Righteous path isn''t really righteous." Yang Shi sneered.

    " Well, The client has doubled the reward. Bounty is now A Hundred Thousand Gold coins."

    " Oh, That''s pretty big. So is there any additional danger?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Yes, There might be two another cultivator of Primordial Spirit Realm, and may have a primordial spirit."

    " Well, I am on." Yang Shi dered. The middle aged man nodded and threw a bronze seal at Yang Shi.

    " What''s this?" Yang Shi inspected the seal, It is made from bronze, A crescent moon was inscribed on it.

    " You have ascended to the ranking of Blood Moon Hall. You are at the lowest rank, The Bronze Moon rank, There are Silver Moon, Gold Moon, Violet Moon, Crimson moon. Perform well for better ranking."

    " I will." Yang Shi patted his chest.

    ...............................

    " Blood Hand, Blood Saber, and Blood Ghost, Three notorious bandits. Each has reached the Primordial Spirit Realm. Plus there may be some sect disciples involved in it."

    Yang Shi was reading the information scroll. Thankfully there aren''t any time limits. Yang Shi picked this mission because the bandits may be hidden in the Deep Sky forest. So he will get the perfect ce for Bloodline Fusion.

    Yang Shi looked at his DanTian and said angrily, " You gluttonous Egg. You have been constantly eating my Internal Energy from thest three days. Just what you want?" Yang Shi was annoyed by the golden egg which was residing inside his DanTian.

    This time, The egg hummed in response, like it was angry at the YangShi. Yang Shi sweated, " Fine, Just wait, I will drive you out eventually."

    He didn''t dare to anger it more, Else he will be in a tough position if it suck his blood likest time. Yang Shi was frustrated inside, He had to do something about this egg.

    *Sigh* " Let''s focus on the mission first." Yang Shi headed for the Deep Sky Forest.

    While Yang Shi was distracted, a soft mutter emitted from the egg,

    *Hump* " Stupid Human."

    ..........................

    In the woods, a dark figure was moving like a specter. Soon he arrived on a forest path.

    " Hmm, A carriage ising this way." The figure muttered. He moved and vanished in the woods again. This figure was none other than Yang Shi.

    He waved his hand to stop the carriage.

    " Who are you, young man? What are you doing in the forest, alone?" The carriage drive asked cautiously.

    " Ahahah, I came from the Misty Tower city. I came here to hunt some beasts. But forgot the way." Yang Shi said with a smile.

    " Oh, You can go straight from here, You will find the way." The carriage drive was getting impatient.

    " Hey, Aren''t you a carriage driver? Take me back to the city." Yang Shi said like a spoiled child.

    " No, I am busy. I can''t take." The driver refused.

    " Just how much you want? Here two hundred gold coins? Not enough? Here a hundred more?" Yang Shi threw the Gold Coins like candy.

    " You..." Before the driver say anything else, A voice interrupted him, " Let him get on."

    The driver listened to the order from the carriage. He smiled and said to YangShi, " Since Sir has agreed, You cane with us." Yang Shi could see the mockery behind the smile.

    He pretended to be happy and said " Thank You, Once we reach the city, I will reward you more."

    Yang Shi entered the carriage and saw two men are already sitting there. Their face looked fierce and gloomy. From the first look, One will get an uneasy feeling

    Yang Shi sat there happily and started chatting with them.

 Chapter 41: Infiltration

    Chapter 41: Infiltration

    " What''s your name Kid?" One of them asked, With a smile on his face, Although the smile was looking extremely creepy on his face.

    " My name is Ye Kong. I came from the Royal Capital." Yang Shi shi said cheerfully.

    " You came from Royal Capital? Why did you came to Misty Tower City?" One of the men asked.

    " I came here to meet my uncle." Yang Shi said.

    " Uncle? Who is he?" They asked, Clearly prying out more information.

    " Ah, You don''t know my uncle? He is the famous Merchant Ye." Yang Shi said as a matter-of-fact.

    " You are Merchant Ye''s nephew?" Both men astound in shock. They looked at each other andmunicated through their eyes.

    " Ah, We are also a big client of Merchant Ye. We are just going to him, to discuss some business."

    Both of them said happily.

    " Oh, I see. Best of Luck." Yang Shi said.

    " Yes, We will take you to your uncle, Okay?" One of them said.

    " Okay." Yang Shi nodded like an innocent kid.

    Both menughed happily. One of them whispered, " Second Brother, This kid is the nephew of Merchant Ye. I bet he has a good load of money in his bag. Didn''t you saw how he offered the money to the driver?"

    The Second Brother nodded and said with a low tone, " If we kidnap this kid, Not only we can ask ransom from Merchant Ye, But also we can sell him to Merchan Ye''s enemy. We will profit from both sides."

    " Indeed, Let''s take him to the elder brother." Both of them discussed quietly, like Yang Shi couldn''t hear their talks.

    Yang Shi only smiled and pretended to appreciate the scenery outside, But he was sneering in his heart.

    " Idiots. Just wait till I get the location of the Blood Brother Banditsir."

    Yang Shi suddenly said, " Damn that bastard, Who Killed my cousin. I swear, If I ever meet him, I would kill him."

    " Ah, You must be talking about the Evil Shadow. Yes. He has been a notorious assassintely." One of them nodded.

    " Yeh, But I heard that the Blood Brother Bandits are crueler?" Yang Shi probed

    " Well, True though. Their whereabouts are unknown. But They are really very powerful bandits. I heardst time, They stole a Royal carriage and killed a Commander." One of them said with a smug.

    " Oh, Then Why they are alive yet?" Yang Shi asked with a confused tone.

    " Hmm, I can''t say. Some say they have a powerful backer. Other says, That they are master of disguise and escape, So no one could catch them." One of them said, rubbing his chin.

    " Ah, Pardon me. I haven''t asked your name yet." Yang Shi suddenly remembered.

    " Ahahaha, My name is Lin An, He is my little brother Lin Yun." The person named Lin An said.

    " Oh, I see. So when we will reach our destination?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Two or three hours, maybe." Lin Yun said.

    After three hours, They reached a mountain valley.

    " Huh, Where are we?" Yang Shi asked impatiently.

    " Come with us. We will take you to your uncle." Both of then smiled.

    the valley was wide. Lots of small wooden houses there. On the mountain, There are lots of caves. Yang Shi could hear some screams from those caves.

    " Uhh, Mister Lin, Can you quickly take me to my uncle?" Yang Shi said with a scared tone.

    " Hear, We reached." There was a gray-colored building ahead. Dozens of guard with swords and saber was guarding here and there. They looked fierce and evil.

    When they are inside, they saw a burly person was sitting on the chair and eating fruits. A broad sword was lying on the side. Arge scar on his face. He looked like a person who killed a lot of peoples.

    " Hmm, Who is this brat?" The man asked in a coarse tone.

    " He is the nephew of Merchant Ye. We brought him, to let him meet his uncle." Lin An said with a smirk.

    " Where is my uncle? I want to see him, NOW." Yang Shi demanded.

    " Hey, Kid shut up. You are kidnapped now. Now, just wait here till your unclees with a hoard of money." The burly man shouted.

    This time Yang Shi stood there calmly, Observing his surrounding.

    " I guess, My choice was right." Yang Shi smirked in the mind.

    Here those three men are discussing about some matters.

    " So, everything is ready?" The burly man asked.

    " Yes, Brother, The carriages are ready. Leader will be happy this time." Lin An said.

    " I hope those damned brats won''t cause any things." Lin Yun said with a rage.

    " Calm down, You know they are from Golden Sun sect. So we can''t do anything." The burly man said with a deep tone.

    " But Elder brother..." Lin Yun was about o say something when Yang Shi interrupted," The leader must be one of the Blood Brother Bandits, Right?"

    " Kid, It seems you don''t have manners. You dare to speak on us?" Lin Yun raged. He picked a whip andshed it towards Yang Shi.

    " Fuck off, bitch." Yang Shi roared. His hand caught the whip. Lin Yun became surprised as he couldn''t pull back the whip.

    Yang Shi suddenly pulled Lin Yun and grabbed his throat.

    " Listen. you little piece shit. I could have killed you long ago if I hadn''t wanted to meet your boss." Yang Shi said with a cold tone.

    " Yo-You, Who are you?" Lin An became rmed.

    " kid, Better put him down, else you will die a horrible death." The burly man said with a dark face.

    " Yes, Put him down, else even Merchant Ye couldn''t save you." Lin An threatened.

    " Hmm, Merchant Ye. Although I never met him, He sounds very influential." Yang Shi said.

    " Y-You. You are not his nephew. Who are you?" The burly man picked up his broadsword.

    " Let''s talk about business. Where is the ce you gonna meet up with Golden Sun Sect''s disciples?" Yang Shi asked calmly.

    " It seems you are hellbent to die today." The burly man''s eye shone with a cold light and he shed his broadsword.

    " Iron Wave sh>" The burly man roared. Wind howled as he shed his sword. Yang Shi threw Lin Yun like a trash and condensed a spear of me.

    " me Spear." Yang Shi threw his me spear at the burly man.

    The burly man swung his sword and shed with the me spear. But then, When he looked back at Yang Shi, He was surprised to find that, he has vanished.

    " Game over." a cold voice said from the side of the burly man, Three daggers came flying like a shooting star and pierced the shoulders and the thigh of the burly man.

    Lin An was staring with his wide eye. The burly man roared in pain and knelt down.

 Chapter 42: Goods in Warehouse

    Chapter 42: Goods in Warehouse

    *Cough* The burly man coughed a mouthful of blood.

    " Although you have some decent strength, Still, You will die today." Using his broadsword as crutch, The burly man stood up.

    Lin Yun coughed and got up. Lin An is also stared at Yang Shi. The trio walked toward Yang Shi. Yang Shi pulled out his long sword from the scabbard and shouted, " Bring it on."

    " Poisonous Serpent Finger" Lin An hissed as he dashed at Yang Shi. His arm became a blur as he attacked Yang Shi''s vital spots like eyes, heart. His fingers are shining with a pale green light. One would get goosebumps fro looking at it.

    Yang Shi''s purple eyes turned tint of azure. The movement of Lin An''s palm became slow down. Yang Shi''s sword blinked and blood sshed.

    With a blood curdling scream, Lin An rolled on the ground with extreme pain. One the ground was blood and the severed fingers of Lin An.

    " Second Brother!!" Lin Yun shouted and dashed at Yang Shi. The burly man also took the opportunity and infused the Spiritual Qi in the sword. The broadsword began to shine with a crimson light.

    " Cloud Cutting Palm." Lin Yun shouted.

    " Wave of Crimson Fury." The burly man shed his sword vertically at Yang Shi. A crimson wave of energy gushed at Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi took a step back, His eye became focused. His sword hummed with invisible energy.

    The sword shone with a cold light.

    " Swift Shadow sh." Yang Shi shouted.

    The sword collided with the palm of Lin Yun.

    It cut through it like a hot de cut through butter.

    The sword went through the arm and severed the upper half of Lin Yun from his waist. Lin Yun body fell apart, He was staring with wide eyes, not knowing how he died.

    Till now, The crimson wave of energy already reached Yang Shi. Yang Shi stood there motionless. The area around him exploded by the might of the crimson wave.

    Debris flew everywhere, among the dust, it''s hard to tell whether Yang Shi is alive or dead. The burly man was breathing heavily. He looked at his two brothers, One was lying with a bloodied, Fingerless palm, where another was dead with severed body. Hatred filled in his eyes.

    But then suddenly, augh broke the silence.

    " Not bad. Quiet a powerful move, Enough to kill the second stage cultivators of Primordial Spirit Realm. Unfortunately..."

    Hearing the voice, The burly man became both shocked and angry.

    Yang Shi stood there, unharmed. Even his clothes are undamaged. " Choosing Radiant Guard was the right choice."

    Yang Shi has reached the second stage of Radiant Guard, [Magic Protection]. He can repel an attack of Spiritual Qi now.

    " Surrender and answer me else, die." Yang Shi stated his simple conditions.

    " Even I became a ghost, I will haunt you to death." The burly man raged. He lifted his broadsword and dashed at Yang Shi like an angry bull.

    Yang Shi also jumped and shed with his sword. Bothe sword shed with immense energy. Yang Shi forced back a few steps. He shouted and dashed forward again.

    " Swift Shadow sh."

    " Storm Wave sh." Both executed their technique at the same time. But Yang Shi suddenly activated [Myriad Ghost Step] and vanished from the eyesight of the Burly Man.

    The man got distracted by the sudden development of things, As he looked at his side, Yang Shi''s de already reached his neck. Then the burly man never saw the light again.

    Yang Shi looked at his surrounding. " Hmm, Perfect ce to build a hideout. Too bad, These trios aren''t Blood Brothers Bandits." Yang Shi thought in his mind.

    " But they know, Where the Golden Sun Sect''s disciples are going to take their cargo. If I got them, They will definitely spill the beans." Yang Shi stretched his body and walked around.

    .............

    Lin An woke up from his pain. His surrounding are blurry. He saw someone sitting on the chair and eating fruits.

    " Elder Brother, Y-You won." Lin An shouted happily.

    But, When he saw clearly, His smile petrified. He shivered violently, seeing that figure.

    " Spill the beans, You will live, else, Die." Eating a yellow fruit, Yang Shi said leisurely.

    " Yo-You, I will rather die than submitting you." Lin An said with a trembling voice.

    " Oh, please, Don''t give me that righteous shit. Just think, You could still live like a happy bandit, Commit crimes and ravage women, or just be a pile of bones. Don''t be foolish for someone Who is dead." Yang Shi said like an old monk, expect his words more nothing less than devilish temptation.

    Lin An gritted his teeth, He at the corpse of his brothers, Then looked at the sword of Yang Shi. He gritted his teeth and knelt down before Yang Shi.

    " Servent greets Young Master." Lin An said with a trembling voice.

    " Rise, Now tell me, Where is the cargo?" Yang Shi asked, raising its voice.

    " In the underground basement. I will show you the way. Lin An said.

    It was arge underground warehouse. Yang Shi says many guards of the peak level of Spiritual Ascension guarding it. One could see all sorts of strange treasures and materials are piled into a small mountain.

    " Holy Shit, You bandits are filthy rich, Huh. Hmm, Golden String Crossbows? In suchrge amounts?

    You guys are gonna wage war or What?" Why there is so much weaponry?" Yang Shi asked.

    " I don''t know. Recently, We are receiving arge amount of weaponry and golds. Not only us, These divided among us, medium level bandits. We ship them to our customers and gave back what we got. For participating in this transaction, We got some goodmission." Lin An said.

    " Aren''t they afraid that You will steal all the goods?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

    " Actually, Some tried before. But they are brutally killed, Not a dog was spared from ughter. I guess All paths of Deep Sky forest are being monitored. Unless one had a spatial ring, It''s will be impossible to escape their eyes. Furthermore, we can''t openly sell these things in Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom, It''s prohibited there." Lin An exined.

    " Hmm, Why I am sensing a huge conspiracy here?" Yang Shi thought. He was amazed by the various minerals and weapons here.

    " Hmm, These sword and spears are actually made from best materials. Perfect for army. ck Sand Steel, Astral Blue Metal, Sanguine Bronze, That''s some cool metals here. So when You deliver the cargo?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Tomorrow." Lin An replied truthfully.

    " Kek, It seems I am lucky this time." Yang Shi smiled an evil grin.

 Chapter 43: Ancient Saber

    Chapter 43: Ancient Saber

    Yang Shi looked around the warehouse with interest. There was a pile of some strange treasures there.

    " Eh? Is that a saber?" Yang Shi picked up a saber with an old scabbard. The hilt was in ck obsidian color. A gem was embedded where the de and the hilt met. The gem was faded red, Like once it was filled with blood, but someone sucked it away.

    Yang Shi picked up the saber. Suddenly, his eye turned crimson. Yang Shi felt that the Red Lily was getting excited. He looked at the saber. He suddenly got an illusion that he was standing amidst an ancient battlefield.

    With saber in his hands, He was charging through the enemy troops. The saber was like a fierce tiger, who dived among the pack of sheep. The saber cleaved, Blood sshed and head tumbled down. Yang Shi could feel that his blood lust and battle spirit are surging.

    *Haaaah* Yang Shi suddenly jolted back t reality. The saber was still inside its scabbard. Yang Shi couldn''t feel the illusion again.

    " This saber is sure strange. I think it''s an ancient weapon. It should be a True rank saber. Hmm, No, It''s not right. I can'' feel the treasure spirit inside it. I think it''s broken, Damn."

    The condition of the saber is the same as the sword Yang Shi brought from Hundred Gold Pavilion, It''s at Half step True Rank.

    Yang Shi unsheathed the saber. It was one and a half meters long. It was a pale silver de, with a golden hue around its edges. It was giving off an ancient aura. This look was even ordinary than a Spirit weapon.

    For example, Ye Zheng''s spirit sword was made from pure gold and adorned with various precious gems.

    But Yang Shi''s heart was ecstatic, and his intuition was telling him that, even though the de''s external appearance iscking, its absolute power was ten times over its counterpart. He caressed it with his finger and could feel a touch of warmth from it.

    " Another nice weapon. I guess, My luck wasn''t bad." Yang Shi rubbed under his nose.

    " Let''s wait till tomorrow."

    ..................................

    " Little Brother Tang, Don''t y with that ring. It''s very precious."

    " I know. Humph. My Senior Brother gave it to me, So I can do whatever I want."

    " Senior Brother Only lent you this. Even He got this with extreme difficulty."

    *BRUH* " I guess, You don''t want the monthlymission, huh?" A young man said with authority.

    " We don''t dare."

    " This Tang Zheng is getting overly arrogant. I wish I could strangle him to death."

    " You could Only think about it. He has the right to be arrogant. He has a Primordial Spirit, Not to mention his elder brother."

    " Sigh, It seems We have to endure for now."

    Three people with an expensive purple robe, are moving with a dozens of guards. There was a Golden sun insignia on there back.

    ..................

    Lin An a 20 bandits are driving five carts of goods. They are moving slowly toward a mountain region. Soon they arrived at a clearing.

    " Damn, Where are those brats?" Even this time, They arete." a bandit grumbled.

    " Mad Wolf, Don''t speak loudly. Those brats are freaking arrogant. Don''t forget, Who is behind them." Another bandit whispered.

    " Both of You, Shut Up. I know how you are feeling. Once this transaction is over, We all going to have a hefty sum of money." Lin An shouted.

    " Brother An, Why didn''t Boss and Brother didn''te today?" a bandit asked curiously.

    " They are on a mission. Now shut your mouth and wait." Although Lin An said it, His face contained fear and distress.

    Suddenly, The silence of the forest was broken by a whistle. Lin An also took out a bone whistle and began to y.

    After some time, Sounds of stamped of horses came near. Another group of bandits approached. But their carriages are different from the Lin An''s carriages. One could see arge cages over the carriages. Many Young Boys are tied by a rope, lying inside the cages like dead animals.

    " Third Senior Brother, I hope the journey has been well." The moment Lin An saw the new party, he rushed to them and bowed before a special carriage.

    The carriage was bigger, Made from Red sandalwood, and embedded with various gems. Even a blind could tell that this luxurious carriage was one of its kind.

    " Hmm, Why Old Bull didn''te today?" A man, Who was riding a ck horse, spoke in a cold tone.

    " Ahaha, Elder brother and Lin Yun went to a mission. They will be back soon. Second Senior Brother doesn''t need to worry about." While talking to both, Lin A didn''t even dare to lift up his head.

    " I see, Let me check the goods." The man on horse came near to the carriages. The man flipped open the cover of boxes and saw weapons and tightly packed inside it.

    " Hmm, Where is the main thing?" The man asked Lin An.

    " Here, Second Senior Brother, Inside this box." Lin An showed the man a tightly seal box.

    The cover of the box was quite heavy. The man lifted the box and saw it was filled with crossbows.

    " MmHmm. These crossbows are more important than anything else." The man nodded in satisfaction. He ordered Lin An, " Empty these boxes."

    " As, Second Senior Brother says." Lin An hurriedly nodded and ordered his fellow bandits to move all the boxes.

    " Hmm, You have done good work this time, Here, Take your payment." A hoarse voice inside the luxurious carriage said to Lin An and his group.

    Soon, A person came gave Lin An a pouch. It was filled with a special kind of gold coins. These coins have a red colored seal on them.

    " Here, Fifty Royal Seal coins. Each one is equivalent to Ten Thousand Gold coins." The Man on the horse said.

    Almost at that moment, Another group reached that ce. The guards of the third group looked more orderly than the groups of Bandits. The wore a silver te armor and a long spear with a silver tip.

    Three young men can out of their carriage. They wore a Purple robe. The youngest boy came forward and arrogantly said, " Where are the goods?"

    " Where are our things?" The man on the horse asked.

    *Hmph* " First Show us our things, else You better pray for your life." The Young man said with a threatening tone.

    " Littel Brother Tang, Please calm down." another young man in purple robe tried to calm the Surnamed Tang.

    " You guys better leave this ce." The person in Red sandalwood carriage ordered the group of Lin An.

    " As Your Wish." Bowing another time, Lin An and his troop began to retreat. But Nobody saw That a young man with ordinary cloth was missing from the group of Lin An.

    ................

    " Let''s talk about the transaction." The third young man in Purple said to the Man on the horse.

    " Very Well." The man on horse nodded and showed them the goods that Lin An had brought

    " All things are good. Hmm? I think a crossbow is missing?" The Tang surnamed said with a doubtful tone.

    " Tang Zheng, Just stop dilly-dallying. Even your brother is the core disciple of Golden Sun Sect, I still have the power to crush you." The Man on horse was annoyed by the behavior of Tang Zheng.

    " Heh, You dare to fight me? I swear I will change my name if I didn''t reak a few of your bones." Tang Zheng Angrily said.

    " Second Cousin calm down. Brother Tang Zheng hase for the first time, So don''t be rude to him.

    Bother Tang Zheng, Please,plete the transaction." The person in red carriage said.

    While Tang Zheng was thinking, A shrill voice sounded from afar.

    " The opportunity hase, ughter these Golden Sun Sect''s scums." Then three arrows suddenly pierced the head of three soldiers of Golden Sun Sect. Those the tumbled down, lying dead on the ground.

    " No, It''s Not Us." A person leaped out of the carriage, trying to exin things. But another arrow shot to the purple dressed young man, from the side of bandits.

    " Blood Brother Bandits, You have gone too far. Guards, ughter these vermins" Tang Zheng Shoyted and he himself charged st the man on the horse.

 Chapter 44: Battle in the forest

    Chapter 44: Battle in the forest

    " Brother Tang, You should not be repulsive." A disciple of Golden Sun Sect tried to stop the Maddened Tang Zheng.

    " Hmph, Coward. Didn''t you saw that our guards are killed by them? Are you from their group?" Tang Zheng said angrily.

    At that moment, Another arrow came like a bullet and hit the shoulder of the Third Disciple of Golden Sun Sect.

    " See? Brother Po Jun, They dare to attack even us. Let''s tell them that nobody can trifle with Us. Guards, ughter these fucking bandits." Tang Zheng didn''t listen anymore. He pulled out his sword and began to kill the bandits.

    " Stop, It''s not us" The bandits are shouting. But a dozen of them are already died by the silver guards.

    " Brothers, The Golden Sun Sect betrayed us. I saw a massive army is reaching us from behind."

    Nobody knew who it was, But they heard the voice was booming among the group of bandits.

    Some Bandits could hear the hooves of horses and sounds of carriages, from afar. Although it wasn''t loud, But They could hear it.

    " Second Brother, See, How many of our brother has fallen. Even troops of Golden Sun sect are approaching from behind. Allow us to retaliate." The Man On horse shouted. He picked his spear and thrust in the heart of a silver tted guard.

    " Blood Hand. Let''s see Who is powerful." Tang Zheng rushed toward the man on the horse, Brandishing his long sword.

    " Tang Zheng, Not even your Senior Brother can save you today." The man on horse roared as he jumped from his horse and dashed at Tang Zheng.

    The spear and the sword shed and sparks flew. Blood Hand was forced to take a few steps backward, But he charged with his spear.

    His spear was like an angry flood dragon, Wanting to destroy all things on the path. But Tang Zheng was no pushover either. His sword shone with a green light and suddenly disyed an astonishing speed.

    " Fleeting Ghost Sword Art: shing Specter." Tang Zheng roared as his sword became nimble and fast like a ghost. It cut several parts of Blood Hand and injured him a bit.

    " Rampage of Flood Dragon" Blood Hand shouted and his straight spear suddenly became coiled like a dragon. It kept attacking Tang Zheng in an odd manner.

    The fight between both became more heated. But suddenly, The disciple named Po Jun saw that third the disciple of Golden Sun Sect, who got injured by an arrow, Was missing on the spot.

    " Brother Sun? Where are you?" Po Jun shouted as he was killing the bandits with his saber. He looked around and saw someone wearing the Robe of Golden Sun Sect was dashing around.

    " Brother Sun, Wait for me, Damn these bandits." Po Jun saw that the figure in the purple robe was ughtering the bandits like chickens.

    " Since When Brothe Sun became this powerful?" Po Jun thought but still, he followed that figure.

    " Damn, How the things turned this way." The Person in the Red Sandalwood carriage was cursing, as he was looking at where the second troops of Golden Sun Sect areing.

    " Blood Saber, Today, Heaven will punish You for your sins." A heroic voice rang as two ck daggers came like shooting stars.

    *Haaah* Insctictively, Blood Saber pulled out a giant saber from his back and made a circr sh. A bloody light oozed from it and deflected the daggers.

    " Which coward is sneaking on me? If you are a man, Come forward." But inwardly, Blood Saber got astonished, " Other than Tang Zheng, Nobody from that group seems to be this powerful. So Who is this person?"

    " Hahaha, The most infamous bandit is talking about Righteousness in front of me? Laughable." A masked man in purple robe appeared in front of Blood Saber and shed at him with a dagger.

    " Flying Feathers" The dagger began to dance in the air. Its speed became faster and faster. From afar, One could only see a ck light was shing.

    Blood Saber''s saber was heavy, so against such a swift dagger, He was having some difficulty. He suddenly jumped backward and a blood aura erupted from it.

    " Brat. I don''t know Who are you. But since You dare to betray us, Better prepared to go hell."

    Saying this, His saber turned crimson. Blood Saber shed his saber in various angles, His agility suddenly increased by three folds.

    " shing Waves od Blood Ocean." Yang Shi suddenly felt that his body was bing stiff. Hw saw that he was trapped amidst of the crimson saber shes.

    " Radiant Guard: Magic Protection"

    *DING DING DING DING*

    With a crisp sound, all the shes are blocked by an invisible barrier around Yang Shi.

    *Hmph* " Let''s see till when You can hide inside your turtle shell." Blood Saber snorted as he kept attacking.

    Yang Shi was sweating, " This Blood Saber is no pushover, And his techniques are sinister. My Spiritual Qi is getting drained. Time to activate My Primordial Spirit''s ability."

    " Divine Wheel of Energy" A red colored ring with two feet of diameter appeared behind of Yang Shi. Suddenly, Yang Shi felt that the Spiritual Qi of surrounding was gushing toward him. His DanTian is now refilled with spiritual energy.

    " Godly Vision" Yang Shi''s eye turned azure as he looked at the movement of Blood Saber.

    " It seems, This fellow is still hiding his technique, Keke, Don''t worry, I have got the perfect scapegoat for you."

    Yang Shi suddenly lifted the shield and his figure erupted with energy. He dashed backward.

    "*Hmph* " You can''t escape kid. Time to finish this. Blood Demon sh" The Saber of Blood Demon suddenly shone with a sinister blood light.

    A Red-colored energy beam sted from his saber. It split apart the ground as it charged at Yang Shi.

    " Brother Sun, Hurry, Retreat" Suddenly Po Jun saw that the Purple dressed figure passed him at a great speed.

    " Huh? You Are not Brother Sun-" Po Jun shouted, But his word came to halt as he saw a red colored beam ising at him.

    " Noo-" Po Jun tried to block with his sword, But It is like trying block flood water with just a block of wood.

    Po Jun''s figure was split in half by that red beam. Seeing that the Disciple of Golden Sun Sect is dead, Blood Saber breathed in relief.

    But then, Suddenly a bad premotion came to his mind. He instinctively shed his saber. With a *ng* noise, It blocked a long sword.

    Blood Saber saw that the masked person was still standing before him.

    " Yo-You are still alive?!!" Blood Saber got crazy but then, While he was blocking Yang Shi''s Longsword, A saber appeared in the left hand of Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi chopped it in the abdomen of Blood Saber. Blood Saber hurriedly jumped backward and blocked Yang Shi''s saber with his own.

    Yang Shi got the opportunity. His body twisted in an odd angle and the tip of his longsword pierced the heart of Blood Saber. Blood Saber felt a stark pain in his chest. He gritted his teeth and tried to sh off the hands of Yang Shi.

    Unfortunately, Yang Shi''s saber was faster, and he already beheaded Blood Saber.

    ........................

    The battle between Tang Zheng and Blood Hand has reached its climax. Tang Zheng did a backflip and retreated few steps. His eye became focused. He said, " Blood Hand, Although You are powerful enough to exchange a few blows with me, Don''t think You are powerful. Someone like you could never defeat me, The blessed by Heavens. Blue Water Serpent, Appear."

    Tang Zheng erupted a blue light as a huge phantom of a blue scaled snake appeared behind him.

 Chapter 45: Power of a Primordial Spirit

    Chapter 45: Power of a Primordial Spirit

    The serpent was blue in color, It was hovering over Tang Zheng. The serpent opened his yellow eyes and red at Blood Hand.

    Blood Hand suddenly felt that the temperature around him suddenly dropped. He shivered from fear and his hair stood on its end.

    " Yo-You have a Primordial Spirit!!" Blood Hand became astonished. He began to step back.

    " Too Late to retreat. Fist Of Poison." Tang Zheng''s figure shed and he appeared in front of Blood Hands. His fist struck three ces of Blood Hand''s chest. Blood Hand coughed a few mouthfuls of ck colored blood.

    " What''s happening to me?" Blood Hand kneeled. He felt his body was going numb, and skin turning blue.

    " Oh, That''s the passive ability of my Primordial Spirit; Poison." Tang Zheng said with a mocking face.

    "No, No-" Before Blood Hand could beg mercy, Tang Zheng has already pierced his heart with his sword.

    " Brother Sun, Brother Po, Everyone, kill the remaining bandits."

    But no one answered Tang Zheng''s call.

    " My, My, I thought you are a useless young master, But Who thought, You actually have a Noble Primordial Spirit?" a purple clothed masked figure came in front of Tang Zheng.

    " Brother Sun? No, You are not brother Sun? WHO ARE YOU?" Tang Zheng took a step back and asked furiously.

    " Oh, Both of them are dead. So, What should I do to You?" The masked person pondered.

    " You? With your level, You are actually, Thinking to kill me? Laughable. Anyway, I don''t have any time to waste. Fist of Poison." Tang Zheng and his Primordial spirit roared together and dashed at Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi''s eye became serious as he pulled out the Dark Twilight daggers and thew at Tang Zheng. But Tang Zheng was in an overpowered state, with his Blue serpent. He easily dodged the daggers and punched at Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi already saw the might of Fist of Poison, He will not dare to take those fists head-on. He utilized Myriad Ghost Steps as he dodged the fists and activated the [Radiant Guard]

    " Break" Tang Zheng roared as his punches became more powerful

    Yang Shi took his long sword as he shed out at Tang Zheng.

    " Swift Shadow sh; Second Form; Sever the Bindings" Yang Shi shouted. His Longsword''s shes became like silver threads, it attacked Tang Zheng in all directions.

    *Swish Swish* The sword light became faster and faster. Tang Zheng tried to block Yang Shi''s technique, But he got injured nevertheless.

    *Hmph* " Peasant, Get ready for death. Poison Fog." Tang Zheng roared. The phantom of the serpent behind him opened its mouth and spew a purple fog.

    " Yang Shi''s hair stood on its end as he got an ominous feeling about the purple fog. Yang Shi hurriedly tried to dodge the attack. But the area of the fog was quite wide, some got stuck on the Yang Shi''s shoulder and palm. Although the fog was looked like gas, It has a kind of sticky property.

    Yang Shi saw the spots where the fog has stuck, are corroding, and his skin turning blue. Yang Shi could feel his shoulder turning numb.

    " Damn, This fog has both poisonous and corrosive ability." Yang Shi cursed in his mind. He never thought that Primordial Spirits could be used like this. And Tang Zheng is very proficient in this. Yang Shi is currently in a hard ce.

    Yang Shi continued to attack Tang Zheng. He could see that Tang Zheng is getting exhausted.

    " It seems I have to drag this battle." Yang Shi thought inwardly. He had a perfect solution for this.

    A red colored ring appeared behind Yang Shi and started to draw the Spiritual Qi around him. As for the poison, Yang Shi condensed a lump of me in his hand and burned where the poisonous fog was corroding. Yang Shi gritted his teeth and kept burning his wound, Till it burned all the poison away.

    Tang Zheng saw this and got astonished and thought, " Such a mysterious technique. If I could get it..."

    Yang Shi''s aura erupted once more as he continued to fight with Tang Zheng. Now, Tang Zheng was feeling that his Spiritual Qi in DanTian was depleting rapidly. Summoning a Primordial Spirit tax a lot of Spiritual Qi, and TangZheng already lost a lot while fighting with Blood Hand. He suddenly got an idea.

    A bottle appeared in Tang Zheng''s hand out of nothing, Like magic. He took out a pill from it and gulped. His wound began to heal bit by bit.

    " No, That''s cheating. You motherfucker." Yang Shi cursed. He knows that pill. It''s a Spirit Replenishing pill, Which will recover the Spiritual Qi in DanTian.

    " It takes some time for the pill to show it''s the effect. If I didn''t kill this bastard now, I will lose my life here." Yang Shi became worried. He got a sudden idea.

    He took out his remaining dagger and threw it at Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng saw this and tried to dodge, But at that moment an arrow with a breathtaking speed arrived in front of Tang Zheng.

    " WHAT?!!" Tang Zhen''s eye almost popped out. Yang Shi''s didn''t have a bow. How the hell heunched the arrow? He can''t dodge both things, So he thought tp dodge the dagger. But Then he saw that Yang Shi is rapidly approaching him, So he gritted his teeth and used [Fist of Poison].

    Yang Shiughed wickedly and threw his longsword at Tang Zheng like a dagger. The arrow has already pierced the thigh of Tang Zheng, So his movent became a lot slower. But When he saw that Yang Shi doesn''t have any weapon, He thought he got the opportunity.

    He mocked at Yang Shi, " Although you have got some nasty trick, You can''t evade death. Eight Wave of Sea." Tang Zheng''s primordial spirit rippled and turned to water. The water condensed in Tang Zheng''s palm as heunched it Toward Yang Shi. It''s like tides of the sea are charging at Yang Shi.

    " Water? Kekeke." Once Yang saw that it''s a water based attack, Yang Shi'' didn''t hold back and summoned the Azure blue lotus. Space behind Yang Shi distorted as giant Azure Lotus appeared.

    Tang Zheng became dumbstruck as he saw this. But he got more crazy as he saw the water wave turning to ice.

    " WHAT THE FUCK?" Tang Zheng roared as he clutched his hair. This was his most powerful attack, It got nullified like this.

    " Time to finish this." Yang Shi said calmly as he charged at Tang Zheng.

    " No, Wait. We can discuss things>" Tang Zheng faltered and took step back. But since Yang Shi didn''t listen to his pleading, He could only fight back. But he got frightened when the barehanded Yang Shi pulled out a saber. A cold light glinted from the saber.

    " No, NO-" Tang Zheng tried to block the saber with his sword but Yang Shi suddenly changed it''s the angel. Yang Shi took the sword head on while thrusting his saber in the heart of Tang Zheng. Tang Zheng never thought that Yang Shi wouldunch such a suicidal attack.

    Tang Zheng tried to stop his attack and defend his chest area. s, It only gave the golden chance to Yang Shi. Yang Shi thrust his saber in the heart of Tang Zheng and twisted the saber inside his heart.

    Tang Zheng only felt extreme pain before copsing. After confirming Tang Zheng is dead, Yang Shi sat beside, gasping for breath.

    " Damn, This fightsted longer than I thought. Damn, I was lucky." Yang Shi adjusted his breath.

    " Time to collect rewards." Yang Shi wiped his sweat and looked at the ring, Which Tang Zheng was wearing.

    " So good stuff there." Yang Shi smiled.

 Chapter 46: Harvest

    Chapter 46: Harvest

    After a long battle is a time to harvest reward. After the death of Tang Zheng, Yang Shi killed the remaining bandits and silver armored guard. Killing them was not a difficult task.

    Yang Shi tried to pull out the ring of Tang Zheng, But it was tightly fit in Tang Zheng''s finger. Yang Shi wasn''t in the mood of doing anything extra, So he just cut his finger with his longsword.

    " Ahahahaha, A spatial ring, A SPATIAL RING. AHAHAHAHAH." Yang Shi roared in joy. This one thing is enough for Yang Shi''s effort.

    Spatial Rings are different types of treasure, They don''t have any specific ssification. They can hold inanimate objects in a different ce, hence easy to carry around. Only Experts of Violet Pce Expansion Realm cam make a spatial ring. They are the high level elders of various Sects and ns.

    A Spatial Ring is quite rare. There is a cheap version of it, called Storage Pouch, But it costs 500,000 Gold Coins. Its space is only Ten feet in diameter. But Spatial Ring has Three Hundred meters of space. Even the Hundred Gold Pavilion of Misty Tower City doesn''t have a Spatial Ring for sale, they only have couples of Storage Pouches.

    Yang Shi was thinking about to buy a Storage Pouch, But now, He got even better stuff. Yang Shi bit his finger and let his blood drop on the ring, The ring started to shine. Yang Shi could feel a subtle connection between him and the ring.

    " It was best since Tang Zheng didn''t make a blood pact with this ring. Now, I am the true master of this ring." Yang Shiughed. Dropping blood on a treasure is the simplest form of making a pact with it. It was understandable Why Tang Zheng didn''t make a blood contract.

    This ring should be the treasure of a big powerhouse. They only lent it to Tang Zheng to carry the goods, Given By the Blood Brother Bandits, So Tang Zheng didn''t dare to make a pact with it. Once the pact was made, No other can open the spatial ring, Unless they kill the owner.

    Yang Shi saw inside the ring. His mind was filled with Joy. The racks are filled with boxes, Packed with medicinal Pills. But soon he got disappointed when he looked at those pills.

    Most of them are Spirit Gathering Pills, Healing Pills.

    One box contained the Qi Replenishing Pill. For Yang Shi, These ills are garbage. Pills are necessary to increase cultivation. Bandits can''t enter the city to purchase pills else they will be killed.

    These pills are best for those under the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. Most of the bandits never reach the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. So to them, These pills are priceless. Although it seems that trading Weapons and Minerals with these pills is a loss, The Bandits don''t have big brains. So Golden Sun Sect was happy to feed a few bones in exchange for High returns.

    " Aha, Here is my thing. Two bottles of True Energy Pills." Yang Shi became ted. If Spirit Gathering Pill can increase the cultivation of Spiritual Ascension Realm cultivators, Then the True Energy Pill can increase the cultivation of Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm Experts.

    Hundred Gold Pavilion is selling Three True Energy Pills for 30,000 Gold Coins. Yang Shi saw each bottle has nine pills. So the total worth of these pills is 180,000 Gold Coins.

    Yang Shi looked at the carriages that Blood Hands has brought. They are filled with the minerals which Lin Kun and his group have brought. These are perfect materials for crafting Spirit Grade Weapons.

    " Hmm, Let me take all of these." With a swing of hand, All the carriages vanished.

    Yang Shi took a deep breath and jumped.

    " THIS FEELING IS AWESOME." Yang Shi cried in joy. Transmigrating a different world, Killing and Looting, bing an infamous assassin, Yang Shi is getting more and more addicted to this.

    Then he saw, A carriage, Filled with ve Boys. Yang Shi pulled out his sword and shed at the iron bars. The iron bar cut opened smoothly. Those Boys are almost frightened to death by the massacre that happened here, Now Because of Yang Shi, They thought their time hase.

    " Yoh, Boyz. Get up your ass and eat this pill, and run as soon as possible." Yang Shi ordered with a cold tone. The weak boys didn''t dare to make noise and ate the pills Yang shi has given them. They saw how this person ughtered across the battlefield.

    They soon felt that they are brimming with energy. What Yang Shi gave them is Spirit Replenishing. Yang Shi looked around and asked them, " Aren''t there any ve girls? Which trafficker only smuggle boys?"

    One of the boys in tattered cloth said with a meek voice, " The-They had female ves, But all of them are sold to someone. They are called, Pce...Jade...I can''t remember."

    " Jade Lake Pce?" Yang Shi asked n astonishment.

    " Ah, Yes, Jade Lake Pce." The boy nodded.

    " I see." Yang Shi thought and said, " You better run away from this ce. Run Straight to the west, you will find a vige there. Runa as far as possible. Take these two bottles of pills, It will help you."

    Saying This, Yang Shi vanished into the forest.

    One of the boys asked the group, " What should we do now?"

    " Do as he said, Let''s go to the west." The boy Who talked with Yang Shi said to the group, Like a leader. He looked at Yang Shi''s departing figure and thought, " One day, I will repay his favor."

    After some time, a ck Clothed figure arrived there, " That Boy is gone? Huh? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED HERE?" The person was dumbfounded by seeing the carnage on the battlefield.

    " That Boy is more than he seems. Interesting, Very Interesting. It seems he is eligible." The figureughed and returned.

    ..........................

    " What? Tang Zheng''s Soul Lamp shattered?" Golden Sun Sect ispletely chaotic now. An elder asked furiously, " Just What the hell happened there? Quickly, Send a troop in Deep Sky Forest. NOW"

    A Young Man stood silently. His eyes arepletely cold. He clenched his fist and looked at the direction.

    ......................................

    " I guess, We won''t able to get the goods this time." A person reported a Young Man in Golden Robe.

    " Oh, And why is that?" The Young Man asked in an amusing tone.

    " Someone killed both the guards of Golden Su Sect and Blood Brother Bandits."

    " Oh, Could It be that they have begun there move?" The young man asked.

    " I Don''t Think So."

    ..........................

    " Young Master Mo, A important news. Someone killed the Golden Sun Sect''s members and looted their treasures. Even the weapons and minerals are gone." A person said with an exciting tone.

    " Oh, Who has the gut''s to do this? Someone from First Lady''s side?" A handsome young man with a snow white body was lying on the bed. Both of his sides are sleeping, two beautiful girls, naked. The young man caressed their body.

    " Hnn, Young Master Mo, Don''t tease me like this." The girl with her half opened eyes, Smiled flirtatiously.

    * Cough Cough* " Nobody knows Who it was, But I have heard some rumors. It may be done by the newly famous assassin, Evil Shadow." The person coughed and said.

    " I guess, It''s time to recruit talent."

    ............

    " Brother Lin, Till When we are going to make noises of troops, even our horses are tired." A bandit said to Lin An.

    " Just a bit more." As Lin An was saying, a sack fell from above.

    " You all done great, Now Take your money and run as fast as you can." Yang Shi shouted from afar. He asked them to make noises like an army troop wasing.

    Yang Shi wasing back happily, Unaware What storm he has created..

 Chapter 47: Bloodline Fusion

    Chapter 47: Bloodline Fusion

    Yang Shi was returning, While humming an old song.

    " Now, I am what they call, Filthy Rich. No Problem for money." Yang Shi already thought of buying some expensive clothes and a house.

    " Hmm, Since I have reached Primordial Spirit Realm, I an focus on my profession. Oh, Wait, I forgot about The Blood Fusion." Yang Shi willed and the system panel opened.

    Yang Shi saw a cave nearby, So he went there for cultivation. He again saw the golden egg, Inside his DanTian. It is still drawing his Internal Energy., Albeit, Even at a faster rate.

    " You damn little thing. Why don''t you just fuck off?" Yang Shi cursed. This time, The egg hummed in response.

    " What? Did you get angry? So What? Just Wait till Ipleter my blood fusion, I will drive you out." Yang Shi grumbled. From the past few days, The Golden Egg inside of Yang Shi''s DanTian is constantly devouring his Internal Energy.

    Whenever Yang Shi tried to circte his Internal Energy ording to [Origin Chaos Energy Art], His energy went haywire Because most of it absorbed by the egg. So Yang Shi became irritated by this.

    " So let''s begin." Yang Shi sat in the Lotus Position and began meditating.

    " Blood Fusion, Start."

    ...

    " Blood Fusion? And How you are going to do that?" While Samsara Emperor watching every movement of Yang Shi, Hong Er questioned him.

    " Of course, I have a way." Samsara Emperor smiled mysteriously.

    *Hmph* " I will know eventually. What''s the point of mystifying things? Hong Er snorted cutely.

    " Oh, It''s my wish. I will do whatever I want." Samsara Emperor chided.

    Hong Er didn''t bicker with Smasara Emperor anymore and looked at what Yang Shi is doing.

    " Hmm?" She got surprised. She saw, The Azure Lotus and the Crimson Lily soundlessly appeared behind Yang Shi. Avery thing red strands floated out from them. They are so thin, That even with a good vision, One can''t see them.

    More and more of that strand floated out. Slowly, They congealed into a droplet of blood. Hong Er got astonished by it.

    " This...This is Myriad Beings Bloodline?" Hong Er asked doubtfully.

    " Yes..." Samsara Emperor said after a pause. Hong Erughed after hearing this. Herughter became louder and louder.

    " So, You indeed had a back up eh?" she said whileughing.

    " Yes, You know, Not much thing can evade the Heaven." Samsara Emperor didn''t deny it.

    " No wonder. You almost fooled me. You really saved onest drop of your bloodline." Hong Er said.

    " Yes. After that battle, All of my karmic ties were erased from this world. But Since I made a blood contract with Heaven Purification Eternal Dao Lotus and Lily of Emotions and Desire, They saved myst drop of blood." Samsara Emperorughed.

    *Hmph* " If I hadn''t given you [ Life Devouring Demonic Manual] You think You could have Myriad Beings Blood?" Hong Er said yfully.

    " Oh, Don''t even mention that. The technique you had given me was iplete. I had to work hard for a thousand year to perfect it." Samsara Emperor raged.

    *Che Che" " It was for your own growth." Hong Er said like a wise old man or a woman.

    " Fuck You." Samsara Emperor could not hold back anymore. Just how shameless is she?

    " That''s the thing I asked you many times. Come on darling, I am on the bed..." Hong Er winked seductively.

    "..."

    ........

    Yang Shi felt that his blood is boiling. Soon he felt the space around him is changing. Unknown to him, The golden egg started trembling. The runes around it glowed.

    Yang Shi felt he was standing in the vast cosmos. Billions of stars scattered around, shining like gems in darkness. Different gxies with various shapes and colors drifting around, giving an ancient primitive feeling. Yang Shi felt like a speck of dust among it. A feeling of destion arse from his heart.

    " ROAAAAR" While Yang Shi was dazzled by it''s surrounding, An Heaven shaking roar frightened him. He saw a gigantic Azure Dragon came flying at him.

    " NO, no, wait wait." Yang Shi''s soul almost fled from his body, But the Dragon passed through his body like an illusion. Nheless, It felt like a real one.

    " Screech"

    " Awoooo"

    One after another, Various mythical beast rose from the void. A Dragon, A Fiery Phoenix, Ferocious White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, ck Tortoise, Golden Roc, Qilin, Silver Moon Wolf, Sea Serpent, Ancient Demons, Heavenly Titans, Nether Devils, Holy Winged Angel, Celestial Beings, All kinds of beings of this creation appeared in front of Yang Shi. These are all the beings that only reside in ancient folklores, But Yang Shi si seeing every one of them here.

    He saw a red thread that was attached to the heads of all the beast. All the red thread is connected to a blood drop. One could feel pressure from the blood drop, Like this one drop is enough to drown a world.

    Yang Shi saw all the beings suddenly roared at the same time. The blood drop became a crimson shooting star and shot towards Yang Shi and pierced his head.

    Yang Shi felt that his head going to explode. He closed his eyes, But Before closing, he saw one by one, All the beasts are vanishing, Except one.

    ....

    Yang Shi felt he fell in an icy pit, But It wasn''t cold from ice or snow. It is a feeling when you are afraid of death. He felt a sea of blood is shing against him. An uncontroble desire for ughter filled his mind.

    *ROOOOAAAAR* Yang Shi let open his mouth and emanated a heaven shaking roar. The sound wave boomed across the sky and blew away the clouds.

    Yang Shi saw his palm is turning like the paws of a cat. His nails grew and fur appeared on his skin. It was a pattern of the White and ck zigzag. His ears, face, Every part of the body is transforming.

    Yang Shi felt his head is exploding. Before he could do anything else, He fainted. In his dreams, He saw, in the darkness, A pair of fierce, golden eyes staring at him.

    ......

    Unknown to Yang Shi, A different kind of Roar frightened the people. A Youngman in a white robe was standing on a mountain peak. His deep ck eyes are shining. His ck hair was dancing in the breeze.

    Although he wore a normal cloth, every movement he made, he portrayed the aura of an emperor, causing those who faced him to feel like surrender. He looked at the distance, To the direction of Yang Shi.

    " Finally..."

    ........

    Two old men are ying chess in a beautiful garden

    " Old Cat, See? My heir is finally out." The old man in a blue robe moved a chess piece.

    " Sickly Serpent, My heiress is also awakened her bloodline, Don''t think You have won." The Old man in white robe snickered.

    " Hmm, Wait, WHAT?!! YOU DAMNED SICKLY CAT, YOU DARE TO CHEAT?" The Old man in the blue robe raged and mmed his fist on the table. Strangely, The chess pieces didn''t flip.

    " WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU SAYING? I NEVER CHEAT?" The White robed old man is also angry.

    " You said, You didn''t cheat? So what''s this?" The chessboard shone and a figure appeared in it, It was Yang Shi, Who was lying unconscious.

    " Wa-wait. It...Can''t be possible." The Old man in White staggered a little.

    " Say? This isn''t your bloodline?"

    " Although it''s indeed our race''s bloodline, Something is strange. This bloodline..." The white robed old man hesitated a little.

    " Oh, Don''t try to change the topic."

    *Hmph* " You can check yourself If you think I am lying. You Dragon Race has sharp eyes, ain''t it?" The Old man in whit snorted.

    " As you say." The blue robed old man closed. A momentter, he snapped open his eye and coughed a mouthful of blood.

    " This-This can''t be."

    " Sickly Serpent, Are you alright?" The White robed old man asked worriedly.

    " Yes, I am good. I saw the mark."

    " What mark?"

    " A me Sword over a Golden Lotus."

    " WHAT?!!! No wonder, It seems This era, Going To be more chaotic than *That* Era."

    " Indeed. The Great Emperor is back."

    ........

    " Hahaha. Trying to peer through the fate of that brat. Unfortunately, even I can''t see much in his future." Samsara Emperorughed.

 Chapter 48: New Bloodline

    Chapter 48: New Bloodline

    " Nnghh." Yang Shi moaned as he suddenly got up.

    " Wh-What''s happened?" Yang Shi looked around. He was still in the cave. All he remembers that he was cultivating, he saw the illusions of myriads of beings, then he fainted.

    " So Which bloodline I got? Dragon Bloodline or Ancient Blood God Bloodline?" Yang Shi thought he gained something.

    Yang Shi closed his eye and tried to summon that unusual feeling.

    "OMMMMMMM" An oppressive aura burst from Yang Shi. A phantom of a giant beast appeared.

    " This-..." Yang Shi''s expression turned odd.

    He saw a White Tiger. With a majestic pose, It stood proudly, Like Tyrant.

    " Celestial White Tiger. But an MC usually gets a God bloodline or a Dragon bloodline, Right?" Yang Shi pondered. If someone heard Yang Shi, They might vomit blood from anger. Not anybody possesses a Primordial Spirit. But Yang Shi is stillining, After getting such a powerful spirit.

    " But, Why did I awaken a Primordial Spirit? I should have only got a bloodline. Or is it because the bloodline is ancient? Let me rummage through Samsara Emperor''s memory.

    " Hmm, So it is the reason."

    Humans are the most tenacious creatures. They can adapt to any kind of bloodline. But most of them aren''t pure. If a bloodline is pure, It will awaken and gives the owner many kinds of benefits. But that''s not the end. With high purity, It had a chance to tracing back it''s origin. Once trace sessfully, One can awaken the Primordial Spirit of the progenitor of the bloodline.

    " It seems, I got a pure bloodline. To be Honest, Getting the White Tiger bloodline isn''t bad at all. Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, ck Tortoise are the four Divine Beasts. The tiger isn''t that far from the dragon." Yang Shi murmured.

    " Hmm, If I add the bandits and Guards of Golden Sun Sect, I have killed fifty peoples in two months[1] Finally, One mission is over." Yang Shi breathed in relief.

    " I guess, I don''t have to be an assassin anymore, Eh?" Yang Shi thought.

    Yang Shi''s grasp over [ Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art] has almost reached perfection. If he was on earth with such skills, Yang Shi would have be the no 1 Assasin in history.

    " Too bad, That I got a bit bad luck. Thest member of Blood Brother Bandit wasn''t there. Blood Ghost, He is the weakest but just like a ghost, He never exposes himself. Che" Yang Shi grumbled.

    " Anyway, Time to surprise the Old Ghost of Blood Moon Hall." Yang Shi rushed back to Misty Tower City.

    " Hmm? Why there are so many guards today?" Yang Shi saw troops of guards are scattered in various ces, Checking the people who areing to the city.

    " Hmm, Please stop. Where are youing from?" One guard stopped Yang Shi.

    " I aming back from Deep Sky Forest." Yang Shi said without hesitation.

    " Oh, Deep Sky Forest? What were you doing there?" The guard''s eye narrowed.

    " I went for hunting." Yang Shi said.

    " I see. What did You hunt there?"

    " Not much. My luck was pretty bad. I only able to kill one ferocious beast." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Where is it?"

    " Here." Yang Shi showed a sack. The guard saw that there was a furry beast corpse inside.

    " An Iron Nailed ck Bear? Not Bad." The guard smiled.

    " Can I go now?"

    " Oh, Sure." The guard nodded and let Yang Shi pass.

    " Wait?" The guard called back.

    " Yes?" Yang Shi answered politely.

    " Did you anything unusual there? I mean some suspicious people?" The guard asked back.

    " Hmm, Not Really." Yang Sji pondered a bit.

    " Oh. You can go." The guard said.

    Yang Shi never thought that this bear corpse will able to save him. He just killed the bear for fun. He was hungry after bloodline fusion. So he killed the bear and ate it''s roasted meat.

    " Hmm, Did they already got the news about Golden Sun Sect? That''s quite fast." Yang Shi thought a bit before he went to Blood Moon Hall.

    " AHAHAHAHA, Brat, You know how to stir huge shits eh?" Old Ghostughed as he patted Yang Shi''s back.

    " Wow, Geezer, You got the news this fast?" Yang Shi was a bit astonished. The incident happened in the inner part of the Deep Shy forest, So the news should not be traveled this fast unless Golden Sun Sect moved right away.

    " What you know? Entire Misty Tower City, no, Entire Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom has thrown into chaos." Old Ghostughed hard.

    " REALLY?" Yang Shi asked with doubt. He never thought that it would escte to such a big matter. He only killed a dozen of Bandits and people of the Golden Sun Sect.

    " Wait, Does this mean My identity has been exposed?" Yang Shi asked angrily.

    " Nah, Chill down, Brat. Blood Moon Hall never discloses the identity of it''s Assasins. Not unless it''s a special circumstance."

    " Is it a s*Special Circumstance*?" YangShi asked warily.

    " Nah, For us, It''s not big. You are safe, But not Evil Shadow." Old Ghost said.

    " I see." Yang Shi understood the meaning behind this sentence. Blood Moon Hall will help him regarding his true identity, But not going to help his Assasin self.

    " Hehehe, Golden Sun Sect has already put a bounty of 500,000 Gold Coins and a Purple grade Magic art on you." Old Ghostughed.

    " WHAT? I AM THAT PRECIOUS?" Yang Shi couldn''t believe that his tlittle head is so expensive. " Wow, Even I am feeling to kill myself for the reward." Yang Shi joked.

    " Kekeke, Joke now. There is a very hard time ahead." Old Ghost said half-jokingly.

    " Nah, They won''t able to catch me." Yang Shi said with confidence.

    " Time will say." Old Ghostughed.

    ....

    " So, You have killed Blood Hand''s and Blood saber?" The middle-aged person on the mission desk asked.

    " Yeh, Did you heard the news?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Wow, To be honest, I thought you would die on this mission." The middle-aged man said truthfully.

    " Hehehe, You don''t know how powerful I am." Yang Shi said proudly.

    " Well, Well, We can''t give you the full bounty as you still haven''t killed Blood Ghost. But That was still under my guess. Here, 75 Royal Seal coin. And you have been upgraded to Silver Rank. You are climbing quite fast." The middle-aged man said.

    " Naturally, I am a genius after all." Yan Shiughed shamelessly.

 Chapter 49: Storm in the City

    Chapter 49: Storm in the City

    The morning sun shined upon Yang Shi''s window.

    " Mmh. It''s morning already?" Yang Shi rubbed his eye and walked downstairs to the inn.

    " Ah, Young Master Yang. What will you have today?" The waiter asked with a smiling face as he saw Yang Shi. Most people of the inn had already known Yang Shi.

    " Well, Like always, Sour Chicken Soup, Golden String Noodles, and Flowery Wine." Yang Shiughed. He remembered, The first time he came here, He became angry after hearing the price of Golden String Noodles and bickered with the waiter.

    *Bruh* " I don''t give a damn about them. Just who are they?" An old man with arge beard shouted.

    " Ahahaha, What happened Uncle Wang? Who made you angry?" Yang Shi askedughingly. He is already acquainted with most people here.

    " Oh, Little Yang. Don''t ask about them. *Hur Hur*

    They are just a bunch of wild dogs." The person named Uncle Wang waved his hand.

    " Old Wang, Don''t Shout if they heard, They won''t spare us." Another person tried to calm Uncle Wang.

    " Damn those Golden Sun Sect''s Disciples. They have be more and more overbearing. They are even robbing us in broad daylight. Last time I saw them, They forced a hawker to give them all his medicinal herbs." Uncle Wang raged, and to quell his anger, Gulped a few sses of water.

    " Well, Their anger was justified though. Evil Shadow has killed their prominent Inner Disciple, Tang Zheng and although the Sect is trying to hide, I heard the rumor that Evil Shadow has stolen their Sect''s Spatial Ring." Another person joined the convo.

    " Yeh, I heard Tang Zheng had a noble grade Primordial Spirit, Blue Forest Serpent. And his brother Tang Wei has Royal Grade Primordial Spirit, And he is the Core Disciple of Golden Sun Sect. No wonder they are overbearing." Someone said.

    " His brother died, So what? It doesn''t mean that they quell their anger on us?" Uncle Wang shouted.

    At that moment, The door of the inn sprang opened and a few figures with purple robe strode in.

    The inn suddenly got silent, all the customers were watching at those purple robed Youngsters.

    " I heard Seven Rainbow Inn is the best restaurant in Misty Tower City?" One of the young men asked arrogantly.

    " Ah, it seems the guest is the disciples of Golden Sun Sect. Please, Wee to our humble inn." The inn manager came running and weed those youngsters.

    " Hmm, Bring the best food. We will see if your reputation is worthy." The young man arrogantly said and searched a ce to sit. The ce they chose, Where Yang Shi sat.

    Yang Shi was enjoying his breakfast, As a hand grabbed his shoulder. Yang Shi looked back and saw the purple robed youngmen standing beside him.

    " Hurry up brat, Move, Brother Lei has chosen this ce to sit." One of theckeys said with a loud voice.

    The young man named Lei stood silently, Like a boss. Yang Shi''s mood became bad, But since they are the Golden Sun Sect''s disciple, Yang Shi didn''t want trouble. So he moved away.

    A young man named Lei smiled with smugness. Five people were sitting on the table. As Yang Shi was leaving, One them shouted, " Stop."

    Yang Shi looked back and replied, " Yes?"

    " Come, Brother Lei''s shoulder is aching. Massage him." One of them ordered.

    " What?" Yang Shi''s expression became cold and he clenched his fists.

    " What? It''s your fortune to massage Brother Lei''s shoulder. Hurry up and obey his order." One of them became impatient.

    Yag Shiughed coldly, " Someone got bad luck today, eh?" YangShiughed inwardly. He smiled and said sure. He walked behind the Young Man named Lei.

    Yang Shi cracked his fingers and grabbed the shoulders of Brother Lei and pressed hard. The young man Lei, Who was eating and chatting with his friends suddenly stopped.

    His vein bulged and eyes almost popped out. Yang Shiughed and pressed with more force.

    *" CRACK CRACK* Cracking sound came from his shoulder as he screamed in agony.

    " AAHHHHHH"

    " WH-WHAT HAPPENED BROTHER LEI?" all of them became astonished as he saw his rolling over the floor and screaming with pain.

    " What have done? Do you know who is he?" All of them backed a little from Yang Shi. Brother Lei was the strongest person in his group, Who was the Ninth Stage of Spiritual Ascension Realm. But now he was rolling on the floor.

    Yang Shi didn''t want to make trouble for these weaklings but since they want it so badly, Yang Shi could only give them treatment.

    " Fuck Off." Yang Shi uttered two words.

    "Yo-You... Brothers, KILL THIS BASTARD." All of them charged at Yang Shi. Yang Shi shooked his head and dashed outside of the inn.

    Four disciples of the Golden Sun Sect surrounded YangShi. Some spectators alreadymented on Yang Shi''s fate. All of them charged at Yang Shi at the same time. Yang Shi stood calmly. Within a split moment...

    *BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM*

    With four booming sounds, All the spectators saw that four disciples are lying on the ground, Crying for their mother. Some people didn''t even saw how Yang Shi had moved. They became greatly astonished. To them, Yang Shi was a sun shining youth, But now he looked like a powerful beast with his raw strength.

    " He didn''t even utilize his Spiritual Qi, And defeated all of them? Just what is his cultivation level?" Many wondered. Yang Shi didn''t look back at their sorry figure and walked away.

    " Damn, Who the hell he was? I have to report Senior Brother." One of them got up with much difficulty and looked at Yang Shi''s back with venomous eyes.

    " Brother Lei, Are you okay?" They suddenly remembered that Brother Lei was inside the inn, Lying unconscious from the pain.

    .......................

    " Hmm since I have got all the metals and ores, Should I start to lean cksmithing or Learn Alchemy?" Yang Shi thought for a while.

    Samsara Emperor has mastered all the trades across the worlds. Bu the problem is, They are too high level to understand.

    It''s like creating a building. One needs to build a foundation first, then build the floors. Using the methods of the Samsara Emperor is like Building the third floor on the air.

    Yang Shi thought that he should use the memory of Samsara Emperor as light and carve out his own path.

    " Umm, Let''s toss If it was head, I will do Alchemy, If it is tails, Go with cksmithing." Yang Shi pulled out a gold coin. The coin flipped through the air andnded on the ground.

 Chapter 50: Annoying People

    Chapter 50: Annoying People

    The coin fell on the ground. Yang Shi looked at it and thought, " Well, Time for learning some new stuff." Yang Shi went to the Hundred Gold Pavilion.

    " Ah, Young Master Yang, Wee to our firm." The regr sales girl greeted YangShi.

    " Ah, Sister Xi is beautiful as always." Yang Shi also used a bit of flowery word."

    " Young Master''s tone is getting smoother. What are you looking for." The salesgirl asked.

    " I want to buy some tomes about cksmithing." Yang Shi asked in a serious tone.

    " Huh, cksmithing tomes? Is Young Master is nning to be a cksmith?" The salesgirl asked in a surprise.

    " I am trying to do for fun." Yang Shiughed as he scratched his head.

    *Hmph* " cksmithing isn''t for kids." An Old voice interrupted Yang Shi. " cksmithing is an art, A passion, A Dao, Which takes one to the pinnacle." An old man with a small stature came and said with a serious tone.

    Yang Shi looked at him and said, " Old Man, I only want to try cksmithing, And see if I am suitable for it."

    *Humph* " As if anybody can learn cksmithing. Only One in a Thousand can learn cksmithing. And they can only learn. Bing true cksmithing is even more difficult." The Old man berated. His back was bent and his head was full of white hairs.

    " OK, ok. Now, Shut Up." Yang Shi said and turned to the salesgirl, " So, Do you have some?"

    " Yo-You, Do you think Tomes of cksmithing are cabbages? These are the secrets of sects. You have to join a Sect for learning cksmithing." The white haired old man became angry.

    " Do you know me?" Yang Shi asked the Old man.

    " ME? How can I know you?" The old man replied.

    " Then, Please, Shut your mouth, and Let me do my work." Yang Shi really doesn''t know where this Old man came from and Why is he bickering.

    " Yo-..." As the Old man was on the verge of exploding, Mr. Huang came from his room and said, "Uncle Bao, Calm down, Calm down, Don''t get angry on Young people."

    " Yeh, Old Grandpa, Don''t get angry or you will die fast." Yang Shi snickered.

    " Who is going to die? Brat, I bet you will die before me." The old man raged.

    " Uncle Bao, Why are you getting angry on a joke?" Mr. Huang said with a stiff smile. Then he looked at Yang Shi and said,

    " As Uncle Bao said, Tomes about cksmithing and Alchemy are protected by various sects. Omes which are here, Just introductions about cksmithing and some simple crafting technique. If you want them, It will take, 50,000 Gold Coins."

    " Well, I want all you have got." Yang Shi nodded. Money isn''t an issue for Yang Shi anymore.

    " Pah, Just waste of Time and Money." The old man with white hair snorted.

    " It''s MY money. I could buy shit books or Spend them on Prostitutes, My choice." Yang Shi couldn''t understand what''s this Old Man''s problem?

    " Keke, Even If you learn the basics, Without a Spirit me, All will be naught." Uncle Bao angrily said and left.

    Yang Shi just stared like- What The Fuck?

    Yang Shi just shook his head and left with a bunch of scrolls. The moment he took a step outside, A bunch of Young men is already standing outside.

    Seeing them, Yang Shi''s eye turned cold. One of them looked at Yang Shi and yelled, " Brother Zheng, He is the person who had thrashed Brother Shang."

    The person named Zhang looked at Yang Shi with frosty eyes and said, " Bastard, So it was you, Who harmed my little brother."

    " I have beaten lot''s of people, Who is your brother?" Yang Shi calmly asked.

    " Lei Shang, My little brother. I, Lei Zheng, will see, Who has the guts to go against Golden Sun Sect''s Disciples."

    " Shut The Fuck Up. Is your Golden Sun Sect is the king here? I don''t give a damn to them." Yang Shi snorted.

    " Hmph, Bastard, Prepare to die then." Lei Zheng became furious and charged at Yang Shi. He took out a long sword and shed at Yang Shi. YangShi just smirked and dodged easily.

    He can see that this Lei Zheng is only at the First Stage of Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. So defeating him isn''t an issue at all. But he wants to try out his bodily strength. So Yang Shi took this as an opportunity.

    Lei Zheng''s sword became faster, But Yang Shi''s body was nimble as a monkey. Each time Lei Zheng thought that he almost cut Yang Shi, Yang Shi would vanish from his spot and dodge the attack.

    " Bastard, Do you only know how to dodge? If You are a man, Then attack." Lei Zheng became furious.

    " WhirlWind sh." Lei Zheng shouted. His sword shed many times in one second. It''s like a whirlwind was created from the shes.

    The crowd became thrilled to see such a move.

    " Inner Disciple of Golden Sun Sect Lei Zheng is sure powerful." Someone eximed.

    Yang Shi has already be angry with Lei Zheng''s curses. His corners of the mouth raised as he suddenly disappeared from his ce.

    " What speed! Who is that young man? Is he some Big Sect''s disciple in disguise?" The crowd became surprised again.

    Lei Zheng became astonished as he saw Yang Shi just appeared in front of him.

    " When did he reached here?" As he was thinking. Yang Shi bent slightly, Having a firm grip on the ground, Yang Shi''s right arm blurred.

    Before Lei Zheng understands anything, A barrage of punchesnded on Lei Zheng''s body.

    *BOOM BOOM BOOM...

    With a muffled sound, Lei Zheng''s body flew backward like a broken kite. This was the upgraded version of [Ghost Fists]. The Ghost Fist was only able to attack Eight Punches in one time, But with a little adjustment, Yang Shi tripled it. In just one second, Yang Shi hit 24 times.

    Lei Zheng felt like someone smashed his body with a giant sledgehammer. Yang Shi mixed a bit of Internal Energy with his punches, So Lei Zheng felt even more pain.

    The other Golden Sun Sect''s disciple, Who are cheering Lei Zheng, Now stood dumbstruck like Wooden Chicken.

    From the building of Hundred Gold Pavilion, Two people are watching the fight. They are Mr. Huang and Uncle Bao.

    " That kid...Is interesting."

 Chapter 51: Fight

    Chapter 51: Fight

    " That kid is indeed strange, But Why did you say that?" Mr. Huang said to Uncle Bao.

    " You see? That kid just used the sheer strength of his arm and knocked Lei Zheng. People didn''t notice but he punched twenty-four times at once. It''s an amazing feat to aplish without Spiritual Qi." Uncle Bao said.

    " Yes, I just noticed now. He didn''t use a bit of Spiritual Qi at all. I couldn''t even see the flow of Spiritual Qi inside his body. Like there is none in the first ce." Mr. Huang eximed.

    " Honestly, I can''t see it either. He just looks like an ordinary mortal without a shred of cultivation. But his movements..." Uncle Bao ruminated.

    " Could it be that he is a Body Refiner?" Mr. Huang asked.

    " No, Even Body Refiner needs to use Spiritual Qi inside their body. Could it be that this kid has some Ancient Bloodline?" Uncle Bao said.

    " That''s..." Mr. Huang got astonished.

    " Nevermind, Let''s see the fight." Uncle Bao looked at Yang Shi and Lei Zheng.

    .............

    *Cough* Lei Zheng coughed a mouthful of blood. He opened his palm and a bottle appeared. He took out a green pill and popped into his mouth. Then he stood up and looked at Yang Shi.

    " Hmph, Although you have decent strength, It''s far from enough." Lei Zheng coldly spoke. He took his sword and pointed at Yang Shi.

    " Silver Sword Storm." Lei Zheng roared. His sword shed and three rays of silver light shot towards Yang Shi. Yang Shi''s looked at it and decided to dodge. His figure blinked and he vanished from his spot. But on of the ray still cut his left arm. Blood dripped from it, But Yang Shi didn''t flinch.

    He looked at Lei Zheng and said, " Is this all you got?"

    " Let''s see till How long you canst." Lei Zheng didn''t believe that his technique failed. He again waved his sword and executed Silver Sword Storm.

    This time Yang Shi just opened his arm and suddenly, mes materialized from the air and condensed into a ming Spear Tip.

    " Isn''t it looks like the basic me technique, " me Spike? But it''s bigger than that." Many people in the crowd eximed.

    " Wait, That me!!!" Uncle Bao stared at Yang shi''s me spear.

    " Hannah" Yang Shi roared and threw at Lei Zheng''s Silver rays. Both collided in mid air and it exploded. As the dust settles, Yang Shi already threw another me Spear at Lei Zheng.

    Lei caught off guard by it and hurriedly tried to dodge, But He still got burned by it.

    " Damn, You really want to die that fast? You should feel proud to die under my ultimate technique." Lei Zheng spat arrogantly as he held his sword vertically. Golden light erupted from it. Lei Zheng coughed a mouthful of blood on the ground. Evidently, he wasn''t proficient in using this technique. But still, Lei Zheng channeled his energy into his sword.

    " Golden Sword Rain; Sword Light." Lei Zheng roared. His sword shone and vanished. Yang Shi felt his hair is standing on its end. He hurriedly activated [Radiant Guard].

    *CLANG CANG CLANG*

    Sparks flew in the air as golden lights shed against the invisible barrier. Yang Shi roared as he channeled his Spiritual Qi crazily. He pushed his radiant guard to the limits as he defended against the golden sword light.

    " Heavens, Could it be those are legendary Sword Lights? Lei Zheng has mastered Sword Light?" The crowd gasped in surprise.

    Sword light is the first step towards the great realm of Sword Intent. The Sword Intent is the state ofprehension, Where a swordsman could release the energy of the sword without the help of Spiritual Qi. It''s so rare that people only remembered a handful of people who mastered Sword Intent.

    " Kek, That Sword light is fake. Just a condensation of Spiritual Qi. Golden Sun Sect''s Golden Sword Rain is sure powerful, But it''s not a true Sword technique. Moreover, Lei Zheng didn''t have enough grasp over this, else Yang Shi would have died." Uncle Bao said.

    Yang Shi looked at Lei Zheng with murderous eyes. He would have died without [Radiant Guard]. He activated Myriad Ghost Steps fully and charged at Lei Zheng. Yang Shi condensed a me Spear and threw at the chest of Lei Zheng. Lei Zheng clenched his sword and Blocked it. At the same time, Blue light shone in Yang Shi''s left palm as he punched at Lei Zheng''s DanTian.

    The punchnded on Lei Zheng''s stomach as he flew backward. The area around his DanTian froze immediately.

    " ARRRGHHH" Lei Zheng screamed as he rolled on the ground. He felt his body is freezing and cramping. Yang Shi sent the power of Ice in the Dantian of Lei Zheng, along with a wave of Internal Energy. The ice froze his dantian while the Internal Energy made a crack in it. Although the effect isn''t obvious now, Butter, Lei Zheng will be unable to cultivate further.

    Yang Shi almost killed him, But then he restrained himself. A crowd has already seen the entire thing. It would be better to leave now. Yang Shi dusted his robe and left. The crowd didn''t believe that Lei Zheng was defeated like that.

    " That kid is in trouble now."

    " Nah, He must have a powerful background."

    " But I am happy since he taught these arrogant brats a lesson."

    The news spread like wildfire. The entire city talked about this matter.

    " SO, What''s now?" Mr. Huang asked.

    " I have a little time before I will go back. I will meet this brat." Uncle Bao said.

    ...................

    " Damn those Golden Sun Sect''s disciples. Now, I have definitely attracted the attention of the Golden Sun Sect. I have toy low for now." Yang Shi''s mood has worsened. He thought he woulde back home, Start learning cksmithing and make a Spirit grade weapon instantly. But fate yed a bitch game and now everything is ruined.

    " Sigh. Let''s read WHat I have brought."

 Chapter 52: Uncle Bao

    Chapter 52: Uncle Bao

    After an incense stick of time, Yang Shi just threw away the scrolls. The scrolls are all about various metals and ores, Their internal structures, Their special quality, etc. Regarding refinement, there is only limited information. All the things recorded are the simplest way of cksmithing, Heating the ores, and mixing them.

    Yang Shi remembered all the properties of various ores and metals and the theories about Weapon refinement. But the techniques written here can only build ordinary weapons. They can be made on meclouds Stones, Which are basically like coal here.

    A spirit grade weapon needs to be refined in Spirit me. Spirit mes is a wondrous item. There are three kinds of spirit mes. First, one can acquire from the beast core of a me Attribute Demon Beasts. It''s called beast mes. This themon Spirit mes here. Another kinds are born under the blessing of heaven and earth. They are called Earth mes. They are powerful than Beast mes, But they need an enormous fortune and effort to get an Earth me. The third way is the Bloodline me. Once a cultivator reached a higher realm and gainedprehension of Fire, They able to control powerful Spirit fire at will. And this ability can be passed down to bloodline, Giving the descendants the power of spirit me from birth.

    " Spirit me isn''t much an issue. I can get a beast me if I tried hard enough. Killing a me attribute Demon Beast, Not That hard."

    " Hmm, It is not helping me. I can''t refine any Spirit Grade weapons like this? Do I really need to join a sect? But, The mission requirement is to not join any sect. What should I do now?" Yang Shi thought.

    " Urgh. My brain is bursting. Let me take some rest." Yang Shi lied on the bed. But then he got started by some voice.

    " Hmm? Someone is here?!!!" Yang Shi sat up. He picked up the Dark Twilight Dagger and walked toward the noise.

    "Hmph, I thought you will be able to finish the Scrolls of cksmithing. But You just threw them away." An elderly voice said.

    " You... Old Man, Why the hell you are here?" Yang Shi recognized the voice. It was the short, white haired elder, called Uncle Bao.

    " When did he came behind me?" Yang Shi''s hair stood on its end. This elder is no pushover.

    "As I said, cksmithing isn''t any Child''s y." Uncle Bao shook his head.

    " What do you mean? Those crappy scrolls? I have finished them long ago." Yang Shi shrugged.

    " Hmph, Stop boasting kid. Even genius needs to read for a day to finish all the ten scrolls here." Uncle Bao snickered.

    " WHAT?!! One day for these scrolls? And you call them genius? Have your brain gone senile?" Yang Shi asked.

    " You-You, Who the hell is senile? You arrogant brat. You don''t know the immensity of Heaven and Earth." Uncle Bao raged. " You have shamed the art of cksmithing. If you are this confident, It means you have already memorized the scrolls, isn''t it?" Uncle Bao angrily asked.

    Yang Shi brought ten scrolls from Hundred Gold Pavilion. Each scroll is thick and heavy, Filled with mountain like information. There are records of at least a few thousand metals and ores. And top of that, One needs to remember their various properties, The ce it could be found, The melting point, and the effects of mixing it with different metals, etc. So even cultivators have a hard time remembering all the things.

    " Yeh, I have remembered all the content to these ten scrolls." Yang Shi said proudly.

    " Oh, Really? Then let me ask some questions. How can one find the best quality of Blue Stain Iron?

    " Blue Stain Iron is founded from extreme cold ces, Where Yin energy is high. The best quality of Blue Stain Iron is needed to be at least 500 years old. One can judge it''s age and quality by scratching it a bit. If the inner part is bit Azure, then it''s not high quality. If it was deep blue, Then it is the pure Blue Stain Iron." Yang Shi said confidently.

    " This..." Uncle Bao didn''t expect that Yang Shi would answer this quickly, and correctly on that.

    " Hmph, Beginners luck. Let me ask you another one. If Describe the process of mixing Purple light crystals with Red Phoenix ore?"

    " The melting point of Red Phoenix Ore is very high. One needs to heat the Red Phoenix ore until it gets half liquified. Then he can add the Purple Light Crystals. But after an incense stick of time, we need to Shining ck Sand in it. Although Red Phoenix Ore is melted, It ould not mix with Purple Light Crystals directly, here the Shining ck Sand is like a bridge. Mixing it also increases the durability of the new alloy." Yang Shi said.

    " You..." Uncle Bao became speechless. If the first time was sheer luck, Then whats about the second time?

    " THIRD QUESTION..." Uncle Bao became more and more astonished. The more he listened to the answer of Yang Shi, The more amazed he got. Yang Shi''s answer was wless.

    " Hmph, I see. You do have potential. But don''t get cocky soon. Knowing theory and doing the actual thing is vastly different. You need to get a Spirit me and a cksmithing table. You also need a vast amount of Metals and Ores to do the practice. Any kind of profession is literally burning money.

    " I know. I have enough metals and ores. Just need Spirit me and cksmithing table." Yang Shi grinned. He can feel that this Old Man is helping him.

    " Hmm, Can you condense me?" Uncle Bao asked.

    " Yes." Yang Shi nodded and with a wave of the hand, me materialized in his hand.

    " As, I thought. Such a pure me." Uncle Bao murmured.

    " Is it strange?" Yang Shi asked. When he awakened the Crimson Lily as his Primordial Spirit, His control over mes grew enormously. He ould feel the power of the me Spear has increased as well.

    " Hmm, Your me is indeed strange. I have a special Technique for you." Uncle Bao smiled.

    " Technique?"

 Chapter 53: Great Yang Solar Flame Art

    Chapter 53: Great Yang Sr me Art

    Technique?" Yang Shi asked in surprise.

    " This technique called Great Yang Sr me Art. With This, You will able to control your me more efficiently. You can even convert your me to Spirit mes if you gained a higher level ofprehension. But that''s even harder than ascending the heavens, So forget about it for now." Uncle Bao said.

    " Wait, Can I know, Why are you helping me?" Yang Shi asked with a doubtful face.

    " Hmph, Don''t you want to be a renowned cksmith?" Uncle Bao asked.

    " Yes, I want to." Yang Shi noded.

    " Then do as I say. If you really have talent, You will understand sooner orter." Uncle Bao snorted.

    " Errr..." Yang Shi scratched his head.

    He knows the Uncle Bao''s identity isn''t simple at all, and he was trying to help him. But Yang Shi really doesn''t want to be the debt of anyone, so he hesitated a bit.

    " I will only say the mnemonic of the technique only once, Okay? Now, Listen." Uncle Bao sat on the nearby chair started to preach the mnemonics of the Great Yang Sr me Art.

    Yang Shi sat in the lotus position and listened carefully to the mnemonics. He felt vast information was pouring into his mind. He started to understand bit by bit.

    After finishing, Uncle Bao asked, " How much you remembered?"

    " I think, I have remembered till the third segment and understood the fourth segment by a bit." Yang Shi said after pondering a bit.

    " well, tell me, What''s the origin of this technique." Uncle Bao asked.

    " It was written in the first and second segments. The world consisted Of Yin and Yang. These two elements were born after the chaos. Yang is warm, Hard, righteous, and represents Fire. Fire gave birth the life. Controlling fire is not enough. One has to blend in the fire itself." Yang Shi spoke after closing his eyes.

    " Hmph, I thought you could at least learn till the fifth segment. I guess I have to repeat once more." Uncle Bao said with dissatisfaction. There are seven segments in this.

    After repeating three times, Yang Shi learned almost all of it.

    " Elder Bao, I think something is missing in this technique." Yang Shi said with a respected tone.

    " Elder, Huh? Little brat, You finally learned some manner. Yes, What I gave you only a part of the original technique. When it was the right time, You will get the second part." Uncle Baoughed.

    " Oh, I see." Yang Shi nodded.

    " I guess, There are some people who are here to meet you." Uncle Bao said.

    " Who?" Yang Shi''s eye turned cold. Judging from Uncle Bao''s tone, These people are not friendly at all.

    " There, Can you see?" Uncle Bao said to Yang Shi, pointing at a direction from the window.

    " Yang Shi activated his godly vision and looked. 200 meters far, Three ck clothed figures are on the street. From their action, It seems they are inquiring something.

    " Three peoples. Two People with Longsword. One guy with a dagger on his waist. It seems one of them has the cultivation of the Fith stage of the Primordial Spirit realm. But judging from their behavior, He was the weakest of three." Yang Shi said with a stern tone.

    " Wow, Kid. Your Vision is sure powerful. You can see this much in darkness. Yes, those three are from Golden Sun Sect. I don''t need to guess their mission, Do I?" Uncle Baoughed.

    " Golden Sun Sect is even faster than I thought. But is my value is that high?" Yang Shi said.

    " Why not? You have beaten their Outer Disciple and crippled Lei Zheng, Who was an Inner disciple. You have already ruined their reputation. Furthermore, You may have done something before." Uncle Bao said with a mystifying tone.

    " Something before?" Yang Shi gulped. He has killed Tang Zheng and the other two and looted all the Weapons and Metals from Deep Sky forest. Golden Sun Sect has already announced a huge bounty over Evil Shadow.

    " Anyway, Before things get messier, You should run away from here." Uncle Bao warned.

    " You should go to Firmament City. You can polish your cksmithing skill there. There is the Golden Fire Tower, Which approves the cksmiths and Alchemist. If you think you have enough talent, You give an exam there."

    " I will vanish right away." Yang Shiughed.

    ...............................

    Inside the Blood Moon Hall.

    " AHAHAHAH, Kid, You have stirred another trouble, ain''t you?" Old Ghostughed at Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi doesn''t have any attachment to this city. But before his departure, He thought to meet Old Ghost of Blood Moon Pavilion.

    " It''s those brats Who started it. I am innocent." Yang Shi said with a sincere tone.

    " Yes, You are an innocent person, Who killed Three Inner Disciple and crippled one, and looted their valuable and spatial ring." Old Ghost nodded.

    *Cough* Yang Shi coughed embarrassingly.

    " So, What''s your n now?" Old Ghost asked.

    " I am going to Firmament City."

    " Oh, We got a Branch there. If you like, You can look around. Oh, I heard that Hundred Flower Lake is filled with some sexy vixens. Be sure to check there."

    " NO, You perverted Old man. What are you saying? I am a righteous person." Yang Shi proudly said, But in his mind, He already made ns to go there.

    " I know, How righteous You are. But presently, You need a powerful identity." Old Ghost said.

    " I know. I will see it." Yang Shi nodded.

    " You can try to join the Royal Army, Though." Old Ghost suggested.

    " Hmm, Let''s wait." Yang Shi neither epted nor denied.

    " Well, Time to go." Yang Shi bade farewell to Old Ghost and left.

    " Firmament City. What a coincidence." Old Ghost murmured.

    ........................

    Next Morning

    " Damn, I can''t find him." A man said with a stern tone.

    " Could it be that the brat escaped?" Another spected.

    " Search the entire city. bring another group and search in the Deep Sky forest, And ask around where he was seenst." We must find him. He could be the person who killed Tang Zheng."

    " As you wish, Elder."

    .......................

    " Damn, Firmament City is a thousand miles away? Nevermind, I will enjoy this journey. Let''s try How effective the Great Yang Sr me art is?" A young man waled in the distance. He was none other than Yang Shi.

 Chapter 54: Art of Stealth

    Chapter 54: Art of Stealth

    Yang Shi leisurely walked on the forest road. His goal is to reach Firmament City in ten days. Yang Shi didn''t activate Myriad Ghost Steps but walked like a mortal.

    It was the second day of the journey. Yang Shi sat under a tree, reciting the mnemonics of Great Yang Sr me Art.

    " Origin of Fire. Burning Fist of me." Yang Shi opened his eyes. His fists burst in mes, and he punched the tree. The trunk scorched ck by the attack.

    " It''s good. But it''s effective in closebats. Let''s try the second technique" The Great Yang Sr me Art is like a scripture which contains the various way to condense mes.

    " Burning Sword, Appear." Yang Shi roared as the mes in his hands slowly took a shape of a longsword. But suddenly, it distorted in midway, and the mes extinguished.

    " Hmm, I can''t condense the me Sword. No wonder. It seems my understanding of the technique iscking." Yang Shi thought.

    " Hmm, I am getting proficient in Fire attribute, but I am neglecting other elements. I have the innate control of the Water element, Given by the Azure Lotus. Too bad, I don''t have any water technique." Yang Shi sighed.

    While practicing the techniques, The day came down. Yang Shi searched for some beasts for dinner.

    " Hmm, Where are all the beasts? Oh, Wait, There is something." Yang Shi saw some movement in the nearby bush. He walked stealthily and activated his Godly Vision. He saw a rabbit with two horns was hiding in the bush.

    " Ah, A horned Spirit Rabbit. Tonight''s dinner gonna be tasty." Yang Shi walked slowly. This rabbit was a ferocious beast. Yang Shi wanted to take it down by his own body, Not using any Spiritual Qi.

    Yang Shi stopped and jump on the bush. The rabbit started and tried to escape. But Yang Shi didn''t give it a chance. His body twisted as he jumped forward and grabbed the tail of the rabbit. The rabbit got angry and tried to stab Yang Shi with it''s its horn.

    " Che che, Little guy, Be obedient and I will turn you into the best grilled Rabbit." Yang Shiughed.

    The rabbit could understand Yang Shi. He growled and struggled fiercely.

    " Time over." Yang Shi''s eye turned cold as he snapped the neck. Then Yang Shi suddenly thought, " Have I be a bit Psyco? Yang Shi thought a bit.

    " Nah, It''s just this world is cruel." Yang Shiforted himself.

    Yang Shi roasted the rabbit in the fire. Its taste was delicious. Yang Shi just ate and slept soundly.

    He woke up early in the morning. The sun just rose, and the atmosphere in the forest is very refreshing. Yang Shi got up and stretched his body and looked around.

    " Ah, The feeling when you are away from killing and looting. Let''s practice my martial arts." Yang Shi looked over Heaven Evasion Lighting Stealth Art. He almostpleted 85% of the technique. Yang Shi looked at a segment. It''s called [The Chronicles of Stealth] It was actually a guide for stealth artists.

    ording to it, There are Three kinds of Stealth artist: Assasin, Thief, and Spy. An Assassin is the harvester of life. Lurking in the darkness, With one stroke, a life harvested. A Master of Stealth should have a heart like Ice,pletely calm and motionless. But his mind should be like Lightning, fast, and cunning.

    There is a proverb written here.

    " A true Assasin could strangle a man to death by a hay straw. A true Thief could unlock a lock with his nail, and a true Spy could eavesdrop beyond nine walls."

    This segment has full of information, about how to baing a top master of Stealth. This art was used by all Assasins, Thieves, and Spies.

    " A true assassin...Attack like lightning and vanish like smoke." Yang Shi murmured. Destiny has already made him an Assasin, so he can''t turn back.

    ording to this Art, An assassin is capable of killing a person out of anything. A de of grass can pierce the heart like a sharp sword. A small stick could be a killing arrow. In his hand, even the elixir of immortality will turn into most hellish poison.

    " Hmm, Three forms of Cross Shadow shes. These are sure powerful, but there is a problem, These three shes are separate attacks."

    The three forms of Cross Shadow sh were-

    Splitting the Shadow, Severing the Shackles, and shing Lightning.

    Theses three are three separate attacks. Hence after using one form, The user bes vulnerable for a moment. Yang Shi thought if he could somehow merge these three stances into one chain attack, The attack power will increase drastically.

    Yang Shi pulled out the Nameless Longsword. While practicing, Yang Shi soon forgot the time.

    ....................................

    " Haaah. Hahhh" A young man green robes stood in the forest. There are only the tree stumps around him. All the tree has been cut off smoothly. The young man wiped his sweat.

    " Still needs improvement." The Young man sighed. Then he went to a nearby brook. After taking a bath, He dressed in a light blue robe. With a long sword in his waist and an ancient looking saber on back, He looked imposing.

    " Ahh, enough practicing. Time to head for the city." This young man was naturally Yang Shi.

    " Ugh, Just how far the Firmament City is?" Yang Shi growled. After traveling five days, His initial excitement of the journey has died. Now Yang Shi is thinking about some teleportation talismans.

    " Damn, The kingdom''s bureaucracy is the same as my previous life''s government. Utter Trash. They should have established the teleportation gates and connect al the city. What''re the poor people gonna do?

    But Yang Shi didn''t know how much it takes to build a teleportation gate. It was far harder than one could think. He thought about how cultivators fly. But unfortunately, his cultivation wasn''t high enough.

    Only cultivators of Violet Pce Expansion Realm can fly in the sky.

    " Sigh. I have o raise my cultivation quickly. Ah, Yes, I have two bottles of True Energy pills." Yang Shi remembered about this pill, Which he obtained after killing Tang Zheng. This pill can improve the cultivation of the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators.

    " The quality of these pills are better than average. Having arge sect as a backer is sure good." Yang Shi thought.

    " Anyway, Let''s see how potent these pills are."

 Chapter 55: Firmament City

    Chapter 55: Firmament City

    Yang Shi took out three golden looking pill and popped in his mouth. He felt the Spiritual Qi has exploded inside his body. A vast amount of Spiritual Qi ran amok in his body. Then Yang Shi remembered that - One should only eat one pill at one time. If one eats multiple pills at the same time, He could face Qi deviation. Qi deviation can deal permanent damage to one''s cultivation.

    " This pressure is helping me to refine my body. Construction and Destruction, The best method to toughen the body. I wonder if I could reach Bone Forging Realm?" Yang Shi concentrated on refining the violent Spiritual Qi.

    His meridian swell as arge amount of Qi gushed inside it. Yang Shi felt the Qi tearing his body apart. Yang Shi hurriedly gathered his Internal Energy. The Internal Energy spread through his body like a silvery and joined his all organs, tissue, cells. As a puppet master could use the string to move his dolls, Yang Shi could use Internal Energy to control his body at will.

    Yang Shi sweated bullets as he crazily began to refine the Spiritual Qi. Half a dayter, With a crisp sound, Yang Shi opened his eyes.

    " Second stage of Primordial Spirit Realm. My speed is a bit slow." Yang Shi murmured.

    Once a cultivator reached Primordial Spirit Realm, His speed will decrease sharply. Each stage requires Luck, Opportunity, and Hard work. The Primordial Spirit Realm gives cultivators the longevity of 500 years, But still, there are very fewer people who could ascend to Violet Pce Expansion Realm in 500 years.

    " Well, I can charge to the Third stage with remaining pills. I should be going now." Yang Shi got up and resumed his journey.

    ..........................

    Firmament City. Like it''s named, It was a grand city. Millions of people live here, Yet it was never overcrowded. Majestic buildings appeared on both sides of the street. Firmament City is called the city of Fortune.

    In the Firmament City, there were multiple incredibly strong cultivators who had be rich. They could gather many items by killing extremely strong ferocious beasts, Demonic Beasts, and had slowly gathered a fortune. Many of them had extremely expensive horses.

    Yang Shi couldn''t help but sigh at the grandeur of the city." A true city of Immortals. What can I say more?"

    Yang Shi was stopped by the guards of the city.

    " Are you new here? Give five hundred gold coins as entrance fees." One of them coldly uttered.

    " Five Hundred? That''s too expensive. You are tantly looting." Yang Shi screamed. Although five hundred gold coin is the same as dirt for Yang shi, But he doesn''t want to spend a single coin for nothing.

    " What brat? You want to defy Firmament City guards?" One of them spat coldly.

    " Oh really?" Yang Shi''s eye narrowed as he became angry.

    Suddenly, The two guards started shivering. They felt like they have fallen into an icy pit.

    " N-No, Sir, You can go." One of them spoke hastily.

    " Hmm, Don''t I have to pay 500 gold coins?" Yang Shi got confused.

    " No no. It''s just a joke. Actually, everyone can go freely." They said quickly. They are now sweating in bullets.

    " Well, Ok." Yang Shi walked inside the city. " What just happened? Why the guards be that terrified? Could it be they seen my cultivation level? That''s not possible. They are also at the Primordial Spirit Realm. Strange?"

    Yang Shi really didn''t know what happened. But he was happy as he didn''t have to spend 500 gold coins.

    " Did you felt that?" One of the guards asked another.

    " Yes, I felt like ferocious tiger ring at me, and just in a moment, He will kill me." The guard wiped his sweat.

    " Could it be it''s the fabled Killing Intent? But he was so young."

    " Let''s not dwell on that, He must be some powerful figure in disguise."

    .............................

    " Ahhh, This city is so huge." Yang Shi''s eye sparkled. In both lives, He loved to travel. The difference was, In his previous life, He traveled to fill his stomach where now he can travel like an immortal.

    " Traveling like a cloud. Free from all Shackles, like a carefree immortal." Yang Shi murmured.

    " How good it has been if Mei Xian was here. Xian''er Do you still remember me? Nah, How could you? Samsara Emperor said after you reincarnated, You would have forgotten everything." Yang Shi sighed.

    From somedays, He was getting a weird feeling. He was feeling like, His memory of his past life is getting fuzzy. He was forgetting the events from his past life. Yang Shi''s memory is extraordinary, He couldn''t forget anything if he wanted. But he is feeling that some outer force is erasing his memory forcefully.

    " Well, Since I have traveled so long, I need some rest." Yang Shi went to an inn called- Gold and Jade Inn.

    Like its name, It was avish inn. Made from Tough magic bricks and decorated vermillion wood, This inn seemed to be glowing, When the zing rays of Sunset fell on it.

    " Wee, Dear customer. How can I help you?" A beautiful girl in the reception came and asked Yang Shi with a smiling face.

    " I want a room. What''s the price?" Yan Shi asked.

    " Sir, There are four tiers of room. Mortal Tier, Earth Tier, and Sky Tier."

    " I want the highest one. Wat''s the price?"

    " Sir, Five thousand Gold Coins for one night. Although it seems expensive, our services are par on that." The girl exined.

    " Ok, Here." Yang Shi gave them five Royal Seal coins, Equivalent to 50,000 gold coins.

    " Sir..."

    " I will live here for ten days. All in advance." Yang Shi waved his hand.

    But then, suddenly, a bunch of people came.

    " I need a Sky tier room. NOW." One of em arrogantly said.

    " But Sir, This young master has taken thest Sky Tier room." The girl stammered.

    " What? Do you have none? One young man asked coldly.

    " I..." The girl couldn''t help What to say. She knows the arrogant young man.

    " So you are the one, Who has taken the room?" He turned and looked at Yang Shi.

 Chapter 56: Mo Yi

    Chapter 56: Mo Yi

    " Ahaha, Brother Yang has a tough physique." A young manughed.

    " Brother Mo also didn''t any lesser than me." Yang Shiughed.

    " But, I wonder if Brother Yang could do what he said?" The young man asked with a little doubt.

    " Absolutely, I am not running anywhere. If it didn''t work, I will cut my own hand." Yang Shi patted his chest.

    " If it really works, I will be the sworn brother of Brother Yang." The young man sped his palms.

    " Does Young Master Mo and Young Master Yang needs something?" The same girl, Who was at the reception, asked Yang Shi and the young man.

    " No need for now." Yang Shi waved his hand.

    " Why? Bring your best dishes. The treat is on me." The young man surnamed Mo dered.

    " No, Brother Mo. Let''s buy the herbs first." Yang Shi shook his head.

    " You want to buy herbs now?" The young man named Mo asked with surprise.

    " Yes, The earlier, the better." Yang Shi said.

    " Then, As you say." The young man named Mo nodded his head.

    While the girl came back from the room, She murmured, " I thought they will fight. But Why they are so friendly now?"

    .................

    ||Half an Incense Stick ago||

    " Brat, Are you the one, Who took thest Sky tier room?" A ck d young man asked with a threatening tone.

    " So what? Do I need your permission?" YangShi raised his voice.

    " Kiddo, It seems you are new here. Do you know, Who is he? He is Mo Yi, The junior young master of Mo Family." The young man pointed at a ck clothed young man.

    The young man was quite handsom., But from his face, one could see the bit of mischievousness. His gaze was electric, With sparkling ck eyes. With a broadsword on his back, He stood afar, Looking at Yang Shi.

    " Peak of the Third stage of Primordial Spirit Realm." Yang Shi thought after looking at Mo Yi. " The Mo n, huh?" Yang Shi muttered.

    Beforeing to Firmament City, Yang Shi collected some information about it. Mo Family is one of the top powerhouses here. But that''s not the only thing. The Mo family is the direct branch of the Mo n, One of the four great ns. They are an ancient power, Not much inferior to the Royal Family of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom.

    " Yes, Mo Family. Now, quickly hand over your Sky tire room key and fuck off." Mo Yi''sckey shouted on Yang Shi.

    Hearing this, Yang Shi''s eyes became cold. He didn''t want to get in any trouble here as the Golden Sun Sect has already given him enough headache. Not to mention Mo Family is like the Golden Sun Sect, Yang Shi didn''t want any mess here.

    *Hmph* " But Do I have to sell my dignity ?" Yang Shi thought.

    " We will give you a double amount of money. Leave the Sky tier room." Mo Yi spoke.

    " Double amount huh?"Yang Shi said. [At least this Mo Yi has some conscience, Thinking about my losses.] Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    " So, What you say?" Deal?" Mo Yi asked.

    " Hmm, I guess..." Before Yang Shi was going to say, He again, Looked at Mo Yi. But this time, He used his Godly Vision.

    " I guess... I have to leave this room for Young Master Mo Yi." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Good. You have some eyes after all." Mo Yiughed

    Just before Yang Shi passed the key to Mo Yi, Yang Shi asked," Throbbing pain in the left wrist, Pain in gall dder while reliving, Must be quite hard, no?"

    Mo Yi, Who was going to take the key, froze suddenly. " H-How did you know? Who are you?" Mo Yi took three steps back and asked Yang Shi with a trembling voice.

    " It''s not important how I know. The main point of the thing is that What you are doing is worsening your condition." Yang Shi shrugged.

    " What do you mean?" Mo Yi asked with a threatening voice. " I will kill you right now, If I know that you are spying on me."

    " Why I need to spy on Young Master Mo Yi When the symptoms are so open?" Yang Shi said with an innocent tone.

    " What symptoms." Mo Yi asked hurriedly. For him, Yang Shi was growing more and more mysterious.

    Yang Shi tactfully gripped the left wrist of Mo Yi, fusing it with a thin strand of Internal Energy.

    " Every night, You could feel a stark pain around your bottom stomach. While taking a piss, You also felt simr pain. You thought that you might have erectile dysfunction, So you have eaten a Yang attribute Spirit Pill." Yang Shi diagnosed like a doctor.

    " How did you know?" Mo Yi asked in disbelief.

    " It''s just that I have a bit of knowledge regarding medicine." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Let''s go to the room. We will talk further there." Mo Yi waved his hand.

    " Please, Come to my room." Yang Shi said.

    ......

    " I indeed took a Golden Yang Pill. I couldn''t stand more than five minutes in bed. This thing happened a few months ago." Mo Yi smiled bitterly.

    " Actually, You did right by eating a Golden Yang Pill." Yang Shi agreed.

    " Then, What you meant by- I am worsening my own condition." Mo Yi questioned.

    " Indeed, You made a huge mistake after eating the Golden Yang Pill." Yang Shi nodded.

    " What mistake?" Mo Yi asked.

    " Golden Yang Pill bolstered the Yang energy inside you. But you didn'' released it. Therefore, It permanently increased the Yang energy inside you."

    " You mean that..."

    " Yes, You should have done sex, after taking that pill. Doing that would have decreased your Yang energy, lessening the pressure on your gall dder. If didn''t get treated soon, You rather apply for the job of a eunuch." Yang Shi said seriously.

    " WHAT?!!!" Mo Yi stood up from fear. For a yful young master, Being castrated is worse than death.

    " I... I... What I should I do?" Mo Yi asked frantically.

    " I have a method. But..."

    " Dao brother, I will do whatever you say. Just say, What you need."

    " Hmm, The Golden Yang Pill was an extreme Yang type pill. We need a sublime Yang medicine. When your Yang energy will reach the peak, Vent it out. It willpletely cure you." Yang Shi said.

    Yang Shi thanked the ancient book of medicine, Which he got from the earth and the Samsara Emperor''s memory. Making a sublime Yang elixir will solve the problem. He just had to exchange a few medicinal herbs and it''s done.

    " I hope Dao brother will do what he says. I wonder What''s dao brother''s name?" Mo Yi said with a bit of nervousness.

    " My name is Yang Shi, And I will do what I said." Yang Shi patted his chest. Yang Shi wishes to befriend with Mo Family, Gaining him a powerful backer.

 Chapter 57: Elixir

    Chapter 57: Elixir

    " This is the Fragrant Pill store. Its backer was World Alchemist Guild. It was not inferior to any of the big sects." Mo Yi exined Yang Shi, as they reached a luxurious store. It was adorned with gold and jades.

    Lots of people were there. Buying various pills, having treatment for their diseases. It was like a hospital in the cultivation world. Although it''s called Fragrant Pill Store, It''s a three story building. Mo Yi and Yang Shi entered the building and greeted by a middle aged man.

    " Ah, Second Young Master Mo. What brings you here, Sir?" The middle aged man sped his hand as he asked Mo Yi.

    " I came here, t buy some herbs. Nothing important." Mo Yi waved his hands.

    " I see. You can meet Master Yin if you want." The middle aged man said.

    " No, He already treated me before. I don''t want to disturb him for nothing." Mo Yiughed. Yang Shi just stood silently, watching the scene.

    " Please, Young Master Mo Yi." The middle aged man showed the way.

    " Who is this Master Yin?" Yang Shi quietly asked.

    " You don''t know Alchemy Master Yin? Yin Taizi?" Mo Yi asked with astonishment.

    " I really don''t know." Yang Shio shook his head.

    " He is one of the prominent alchemy masters here. Meeting with him is really difficult. He could refine a third tier pill." Mo Yi exined.

    Pills are categorized in Nine tiers. The first tier pill is for the Qi Condensation realm. The second Tier is for the Spiritual Ascension realm and the Third tier is for the Primordial Spirit realm. Each increasing tier is difficult to control. There are very few alchemists, Who could refine a third tier pill.

    " I see." Yang Shi nodded in agreement.

    " He is the one, Who prescribed me the Golden Yang Pill." Mo Yi added.

    " Oh really?" Yang Shi asked in surprise. Golden Yang Pill is a high grade Second Tier pill. It''s not easy to refine.

    " Just because of my family, I got the Golden Yang Pill from master Yin." Mo Yi said proudly.

    " Sir, What ingredient you want?" The middle aged person asked.

    " We want, Vermilion Yang Wood, Starlight grass, ck swamp Lotus seed and..." Yang Shi spoke a dozen ingredients.

    " This..." The middle aged man looked at Yang Shi, He just noticed his existence.

    " Bring all that he says." Mo Yi nodded.

    " As young master says." The middle aged man nodded as he brought all the ingredients Yang Shi spoke. Mo Yi waved his hand as the ingredients vanished into thin air.

    " A cosmic pouch." Yang Shi sighed. It''s a high grade cosmic pouch. Although Yang Shi has the best Spatial Ring, He couldn''t use it in public. Everyone knew that Evil Shadow has taken away the spatial ring of the Golden Sun Sect. Using the Spatial Ring in public is the same as revealing his secret.

    " What happened brother Yang?" Mo Yi asked.

    " Nothing, Let''s return quickly." Yang Shi hurried back.

    ||In the Sky tier room of Yang Shi||

    " Brother Yang going to concoct a pill?" Mo Yi asked with some doubt. After all, Not just anybody can concoct a pill. Only powerful Primordial Spirit realm cultivators can concoct pills.

    "No, I am going to brew an elixir." Yang Shi said.

    " An elixir?" Mo Yi asked in surprise.

    " Yes, This elixir gonna treat you. Not only that, It will help you to permanently increase your - Manly Strength." Yang Shi smirked.

    " Really?" Mo Yi''s eye gleamed with excitement. Which man doesn''t want a bigger weapon, Whichsts longer in bed?

    " Yes, I can guarantee that." Yang Shiughed. Then Yang Shi asked," Where are you going to find a girl?"

    " Is that even a problem?" Mo Yi asked in confusion.

    " I..." Yang Shi pped his own head. Yes, Is that even a problem? Brothels are scattered in this city.

    " Then get prepared, We are going this evening." Yang Shi said.

    " Ahahaha. Beauties, Wait for me?" Mo Yiughed.

    ...............................

    The night time of Firmament City is beautiful. Lanterns were hanged in front of doors. The city wasn''t any inferior to the Las Vegas of earth. Yang Shi, Mo Yi, and his twockeys were strolling in the northern part of the city.

    " Brother Mo, Where are we going?" Yang Shi asked.

    " One of the famous ces of Firmament City." Mo Yi answered.

    " And that ce is?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " Hundred Flower Lake." Mo Yi said.

    " Hundred Flower Lake?" Yang Shi asked in astonishment. It seems Heavens wants him to lose his virginity. Yang Shi was already excited o ist those prettydies.

    " Brother Yang is excited. Don''t worry, The sisters there will take care of you." Mo Yiughed.

    " I wonder if we are able to see Flower Princes Hua''s performance?" One of Mo Yi''sckey said with a longing tone.

    " Flower Princes Hua? It will be hard to see her." Mo Yi sighed.

    " Even Brother Mo needs to wait for her?" Yang Shi asked in amusement.

    " Brother Yang, You don''t know. Flower Princes Hua is one of the three beautiful princes of Hundred Flower Lake. Each of their beauty can topple a country can kill men." Mo Yi said with bewilderment.

    " She performs very rarely." Mo Yi said.

    " In the end, They are all prostitute aren''t they?" Yang Shi spat.

    " Brother Yang, You are so crude. The top beauties of the Hundred Flower Pavilion only sell their performance, Not their body. And the other girls, They are also powerful cultivators." Mo Yi exined.

    " I don''t buy it." Yang Shi didn''t bat his eye.

    " Well... It''s the ce of Body pleasure of the rich and nobles, and the poor can only stay outside. Your expression is wrong. We are young men, Filled with Yang energy. So we have to vent it out. Furthermore, It''s on girls, Who they chose. Even you have money, You can''t spend a night with them." Mo Yi said.

    " I see. Here, We have reached." Yang Shi stopped and looked at the pce in front of him.

    " Aye, Isn''t it''s Mo Yi?" A voice interrupted Yang Shi.

    Listening to that voice, Mo Yi''s expression grew dark.

    Chapter 58: Hundred Flower Lake

    " Why the hell you are here?" Mo Yi barked.

    *Hmph* " Is this your property? I cane whenever I want." The young man snorted.

    " If you dare to cause any trouble, I will cripple you." Mo Yi threatened.

    *Hmph* " Why don''t we see who is strong?" a powerful aura erupted from the young man as he challenged Mo Yi.

    " Yo-You have ascended to the third stage?" Mo Yi became astonished.

    *Pah* " Do you really think your self a genius? I will break through to the fourth stage as well, Then kill you." The young man dered.

    *Hmph* " We will see." Mo Yi spat and turned to leave.

    " Brother Mo, Who was that person?" Yang Shi asked, After some time.

    " He is Mo Feng. One of the young genius in the Mo family''s branch bloodline. we have a great enmity." Mo Yi took a deep breath.

    " Brother Mo, It seems you look troubled." Yang Shi said.

    " It''s surprising that he broke through to the third stage. He must have a fortuitous encounter. He even dared to say that he will break through into the fouth stage before me." Mo Yi said with

    frustration.

    " Brother Mo, calm down. You will get a huge surprise tonight." Yang shi smiled mysteriously.

    ....................

    Waves of perfume wafted over, fragrant flowers drifted as pink veils danced about. Many wonderful figures twirled around, showing off their body in different postures, enticing various young nobles. Each and every single one of them had dazzling eyshes, intoxicating eyes, and exquisite bodies.

    Ah, Look who hase?" A beautiful woman with an explosive chest remarked at Mo Yi. Yang Shi rubbed his nose as he looked at the two bombs.

    " Sister Shan, Wind has brought your sweet scent." Mo Yiughed as he greeted the beautiful woman.

    " It seems Yong master Mo Yi''s fortune is excellent. Today, Flower Princess Hua will perform." The woman named Shanughed.

    " REALLY?" Mo Yi and his twockey''s eye gleamed. Yang Shi never saw the Flower Princes, hence didn''t show any reactions.

    " Brother Yang, It seems you are my lucky charm. See? Flower Princess will be performing today. Lets book the seats, before it, be full." Mo Yi roared inughed.

    " Well, Since there is time, I ask the young masters toe and have some of our Hundred Flower Wine." Miss Shan said.

    " Flower like beauty, flower like wine, What abination." Mo Yi remarked.

    " Brother Yang, One cup in the name of our friendship." Mo Yi grabbed the wine jar.

    " Let see the wine capacity of Brother Mo." Yang Shiughed. He certainly won''t miss a chance to drink a ss of good wine.

    " Brother Yang is very brave, Topete me with wine. I hope u won''t slump down after few sses." Mo Yi said.

    " Let''s see." Yang Shi didn''t hold back. Hundred Flower Wine is the most costly wine of the Firmament city. Its vor is mellow, Like the scent of a hundred flower. Its vor was sweet, the effects are strong. he twockeys of Mo Yi already drunk after three sses. Here, Yang Shi and Mo Yi already finished two jugs.

    " No more. Have mercy on me." Mo Yi stopped drinking.

    *Hic* " Brother Mo is really a fine drinker." Yang Shi''s face has be red, But he still didn''t lose his rationality. His Internal Energy flowed automatically, Negating the effect of alcohol.

    " Here, Brother Mo. This the right chance." Yang Shi gave a vial to Mo Yi.

    " This is..." Mo Yi looked inside the vial. A golden liquid inside it.

    " Yes, This the elixir I have brewed." Yang Shi''s face became serious." Drink it whole. Then do the deed. Since there is time for the concert of Flower Princes, You could go for a round or two in bed."

    " As brother Yang said. Time to exercise our body. But, Brother Yang should also pick a girl." Mo Yi said.

    " Me? I..." Yang Shi felt a strange sensation. One part of his heart was screaming to be a real man, Losing his virginity. Another part his heart is kinda cold, Unaffected by all the things. It''s like a battle of Fire and Water in his hart.

    " Why I am getting nervous? I should have done the deed a long ago, If I hadn''t died. So, Why the hesitation?" Mo Yi didn''t mind Yang Shi as she called miss Shan.

    " Sister Shan, Two red jades, Please." Mo Yi said.

    " Ehehehe, Young Master Mo is sure generous, Help such poor women like us." Sister Shanughed.

    " This is my brother, Yang Shi. So, Bring a pure red jade to him." Mo Yi said.

    " Young noble Yang''s luck is good. We have received a batch of Red Jadesst month. I hope he will be satisfied." Sister Shan said.

    " Brother Mo, What''s a red jade?" Yang Shi whispered in Mo Yi''s ears.

    " The girls here are divided into three categories. Green Jade, Red Jade, and White Jade. The three beautiful Princes are in the White Jade category.

    Red jades are just beneath them. It''s very costly to meet them, Let alone have a night with them. I have to spend 200,000 Gold cons and used my status of Mo family.

    " It seems I troubled brother Mo." Yang Shi said with an apologizing tone.

    " Not at all. It''s brother Yang who is helping me. This bit pf pocket change isn''t worth mentioning." Mo Yi waved his hand. Then he grabbed the vial and drank in one shot.

    " Wow, It tastes good." Mo Yi eximed. Mo Yi could feel the energy rising in his body. He felt like a fire has been ignited in his lower abdomen.

    " Brother Mo, The iron his hot, Hammer now." Yang Shiughed

    " Just wait. I will let the girl bit the bedsheet and beg for mercy." a fire could be seen in Mo Yi''s eyes.

    " Aiyo, Brother Mo is getting excited, Thankfully, Your arrangement has beenpleted." Miss Shan said.

    " There, there, Brother Yang. I won''t be apanying you to inside. Kekeke, In a bit, someone wille to bring you to see your partner. Your big bro won''t disturb your fun, as I''m afraid I''ll regret it if I see it. Hehe, if I started to fight with you, that would damage our rtionship." Mo Yiughed with mischief.

    " Drinking your elixir, My belly is full of fire now. Sister Shan, Quickly call Miss Ming. I want to have a dao discussion with her." Mo Yi said with a lewd tone.

    " Again Miss Ming? It seems she has some fateful ties with Young master Mo Yi.

    Although he had no intention of doing this, it wasn''t that he looked down on them. Yang Shi had never been against this kind of thing anyway.

    After all, gambling houses and brothels were the oldest businesses since mankind existed. The former embodied humanity''s greed and thetter embodied humanity''s lust. And Yang Shi is a young man himself.

    Soon, Sister Shan led them to a luxurious room. a dozen of young maiden stood with a bit of uncertainty. Looking at such a beautiful scene, Yang Shi couldn''t stop his nosebleed.

 Chapter 59: Bai Ruxue

    Chapter 59: Bai Ruxue

    " This..." Yang Shi''s eye widened by the scene in front of him. Many beautiful girls with exquisite clothing sat in the hall. They smiled at Yang Shi. Yang Shi felt they are calling him with their gaze.

    " Oh, Lord, Is it heaven? Oh, Lord, I have sinned." Yang Shi mused.

    " Sister Shan..." Yang Shi was bewildered. He didn''t know What to do. So he asked Sister Shan.

    " Ahahaha, It seems Young Noble Yang is new to here. Don''t be shy. All the sisters here are very eager to meet you." Sister Shanughed.

    Suddenly,ughter rang across the hall. A charming girl stood up and approached Yang Shi.

    " Ling Xin greets young noble Yang. I wonder if I could serve some wine to Young Noble?" She asked sweetly. Yang Shi looked at her voluptuous chest. Saliva almost dropped from his mouth.

    " Only Wine? I wonder if Miss Ling has expertise in other things? Yang Shi smirked.

    " Young Noble is sure thinks far ahead. I will do Whatever Young Noble wishes for." Ling Xin said bashfully. She even purposely bent a little, Showing the valley between her twin mountains.

    " Ohoho, Really? Whatever I say?" Yang Shi felt his lower region is getting hot. He didn''t move his gaze from the deep cleavage. Any men would like to dive in that deep valley.

    As Ling Xin was going to say something, Amotion interrupted her.

    " Little Bitch, I will kill you." An old hag shouted. Yang Shi looked there. But he suddenly froze.

    He saw a mesmerizing beauty, White as snow. Willow like waist, Crescent moon like eyebrows, Pink charming lips, Her beauty is enough to make a country fall. But currently, Her face was swollen, He clothes were tattered. Her eyes were filled with exhaustion and despair.

    Ling Xin''s smile vanished. She also looked at the girl, With cold eyes.

    " Dying is better than living in this hell." The girl said fiercely.

    " Yo-You...You bitch, We should have auctioned you off." The Old hag stammered in rage.

    " Sister Shan, Who is that beautifuldy?" Yang Shi couldn''t help but ask.

    " She? Her name is Bai Ruxue. Aiiii, Poor girl. She came here a few weeks ago. She is such a stubborn girl, Unwilling to ept her fate." Sister Shan sighed.

    " She is just acting to seek attention. Such a bitch," Ling Xin muttered under her breath. Yang Shi could hear what she is saying. He just smiled and didn''t say anything, as he could smell the scent of jealousy.

    " Xue''er, Just stop harming yourself. If youply with us, I can guarantee that no one will touch you. Do you know? You have the potential to be the fourth beautiful princes of Hundred Lake Pavilion?" Sister Shan tried to pursue Bai Ruxue.

    *Hmph* " I know your all tricks. If not because of my fate, I would never havee to this whore house." Ruxue said.

    " You... What did you say?" Ling Xin became angry. She picked up a flowerpot and threw it at Ruxue.

    Yang Shi hurriedly grabbed the flowerpot and said, " Beauties should not be angered this much else they will look ugly."

    " Young Noble, It''s not I am angry. It''s just..." Ling Xin tried to exin. But Yang Shi has walked toward Bai Ruxue. While looking at that girl, Yang Shi felt a strange feeling.

    " What is it, WHAT IS IT?" Yang Shi activated his godly vision and looked at her again. Bai Ruxue also looked at Yang Shi.

    " This..." Yang Shi became more and more surprised. He could see faint traces of ck Qi, Swirling around her.

    " Yin energy, and such a purity. She must have a special constitution." Yang Shi murmured.

    To be honest, If someone tells Yang Shi to pick a girl from here, Yang Shi would definitely choose Bai Ruxue.

    " It seems I have to trouble sister Shan for it." Yang Shi looked at Sister Shan and then looked at Bai Ruxue again. Somehow, Evil thoughts began to swirl in Yang Shi''s heart.

    " Young Noble Yang, This..." She seemed to understand the meaning of Yang Shi''s word.

    " Yes, As Young Noble Yang wishes." The old hag behind Bai Ruxue chimed in.

    " Third Aunt, How is that possible?" Sister Shan asked with some concern.

    " Let this Bai girl have some experience. Sooner orter, She has to do it anyway." The Old hag berated. She was eager to teach Ruxue a lesson.

    " You-You... What are you doing to me." Listing to them, Ruxue''s eye filled with despair and hopelessness. She tried to struggle but fell down like all the energy of her body has vanished.

    " Young Noble Here is your room. Ruxue wille soon." Sister Shan showed a room to Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi sat on the bed and recalled the earlier scene. " Did I do a bad thing?" Yang Shi thought.

    " This is a brothel. Such things happen here. I didn''t do anything wrong." A voice spoke from his heart.

    " But that girl was brought here by force. Isn''t it''s the same as raping her?" Another voice spoke in his heart.

    " Since she is this brothel, She has toply with its rule. It''s her fault to be powerless enough to get caught. This world is merciless with no rules."

    Yang Shi was thinking while lying on this bed. Suddenly he snapped out. " Am I having a split personality?" Just then, His room''s door opened as a beautiful figure entered with a violet dress. She was none other than Bai Ruxue.

    She looked hatefully at Yang Shi and alsomented at her fate.

    " It seems you hate me?" Yang Shi smiled bitterly.

    " Why shouldn''t I?" Ruxue rebuked.

    " Well...Will you believe if I say that I won''t touch you?" Yang Shi said.

    " Even the ghost will not believe you." Bai Ruxue coldly said.

    Yang Shi shook his head. Then said, " Pour me some wine and Tell me about yourself." Yang Shi said.

    " I won''t." Ruxue remained stubborn.

    " I said, I won''t touch you, But you have to obey me. My money can''t be wasted, Or Do I have to be forceful?" Yang Shi shrugged with a half smiling face.

    " You-..." Ruxue stammered in rage. Nheless, She did pour wine to Yang Shi. Although she didn''t believe Yang Shi, Still, She better grab this opportunity, Rather than losing her innocence.

    " Well, You are intelligent indeed." Yang Shiughed as he drank wine. Ruxue scoffed but didn''t say anything else.

    " So, You got captured and brought here by force?" Yang Shi started the conversation. Ruxue didn''t opned her mouth, But she looked at the distant moon in the sky.

    " Why don''t you also apany me? Sharing sorrow may lessen them." Yang Shi poured another ss as he passed is to Bai Ruxue.

    She looked at the ss with some hesitation, then look again at Yang Shi.

    " Don''t overthink. Even you became drunk, I won''t do anything bad." Yang Shi said righteously.

    " Really?" Ruxue didn''t bat her eye.

    " Well... Maybe, Ok? Maybe, I could grab your breasts and p your buttock... I won''t do anything further than that. I swear." Yang Shi said, thickening his skin.

    Bai Ruxue sighed as she finished the ss with one shot. After finishing three sses, She started.

    " I am Bai Ruxue. I was the young miss of Bai n."

 Chapter 60: Special Physique

    Chapter 60: Special Physique

    " I am Bai Ruxue of Bai n. The Bai n resided in the Leaping Carp Town, West to the Firmament City. We were the most powerful n in the Leaping Carp Town. "

    "My father was the brother of our patriarch. We lived happily there. Both my parents were powerful cultivators of that ce. Everything was good, But one day, My father suddenly went missing." Bai Ruxue became sad.

    " He went to Deep Sky forest to hunt some demonic beasts, But never returned. We thought he would return in a few days, But even after a week, He didn''t return. Then one day, The Mei nunched a sneak attack on us." By now, Bai Ruxue''s eye was filled with hatred.

    " Mei n somehow gathered lots of powerful cultivators. They could never have defeated us If my father was around. Butter we knew, That they ambushed and killed my father in the Deep Sky forest. We still could have escaped, But there was a mole in our n. They sold the information about our escape route."

    " Our patriarch died while battling with his opponent. My mother and my aunt got captured. Those lowly bastards, They had lewd thought about my mother and my aunt. My mothermitted suicide after knowing their ulterior motives. But those, Heinous wolves, They captured my aunt. The-They..." Ruxue wept bitterly.

    " This..." Yang Shi didn''t have to ask what happened next, As he could already guess. He couldn''t understand how to console this girl.

    "Those damned beasts, They did... so many... They threw our nsmen''s dead body to feed their demonic beasts. I still remembered the sight, The beasts were gnawing the bones of my loved ones. Blood sttered everywhere. My nsmen were crying in agony, And I couldn''t do anything. I am s useless, AHAHAHAHAHA." Ruxue left a burst hystericalughter, mixed with tears and despair.

    In a rage, She drank, Finished all the bottles of wine. " I thought, I will join a powerful sect, Be powerful to take my revenge. But the heavens didn''t open eyes for me. I captured by bandits and sold here, To be the lover of myriads of men." Ruxueughed with hopelessness.

    " But, I won''tmit suicide. I will live. I will strive to be strong. I will sell my body, My soul, I will be someone''s eternal ve, But I will take my revenge. I will kill those Mei n bastards with my own hands." Ruxue clenched her fist, till the blood came out from her palms.

    Yang Shi sighed. Simr things happened in the Long n of Blue Sparrow kingdom. Not only there, but Such things also happen everywhere in this world. Being weak is a sin here. There are no rules of Earth works here.

    When a n or a family got destroyed, Their men be the ves. Their wife and daughters are sold to the whore house. All girls had dignity. They also yearn for love and happiness, but fate forced them to sell their bodies.

    While Yang Shi was in deep thought, Ruxue nced at Yang Shi.

    " You came because of my body, didn''t you? You said consoling words to me, made me drunk and when I will be powerless, You will fuck me." Ruxue said with a cold tone.

    " Well, I dide here for this. But as I promised, I won''t touch you. Even you aren''t drunk, You are powerless to stop me." Yang Shi smiled.

    " What''s so big thing about it? Today, You came. Tomorrow, Someone else wille. You men will never change." Ruxue still doubted Yang Shi''s intent.

    Yang Shi shook his head. "Can I check your palm?" Yang Shi asked in a serious tone. " For What?" Ruxue rebuked.

    " Didn''t you said, You want revenge for your family?" Yang Shi asked.

    " What do you mean by that? Are...Are you going to help me?" Ruxue''s lifeless eyes suddenly stared at Yang Shi, With hopeful intent.

    " Let me check your palm." Yang Shi repeated.

    This time, Ruxue showed her palm. " Truly, Jade like arms and silk like softness." Yang Shi became a little distracted.

    Yang Shi held her palm and added some pressure to a specific point. " Can you feel Qi is gushing in your lower abdomen?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Yes, I can feel." Ruxue nodded. She was at the Fifth Stage of the Spiritual Ascension Realm.

    Yang Shi carefully poked her wrist and injected Spiritual Qi through his finger. Suddenly, Ruxue shuddered. Yang Shi could feel some coldness through his finger.

    " Last test, Ok?" Yang Shi said. Ruxue nodded, Unaware what Yang Shi is doing. Yang Shi opened his palm, and an azure blue lotus appeared. Ruxue started at the beautiful blue lotus.

    " What do you feel about it." Yang Shi asked Ruxue.

    " I am feeling warm. I am getting attracted to this lotus." Ruxue said.

    Yang Shi again sped the palms of Ruxue with the blue lotus. " Warm. I am feeling warm." Ruxue suddenly became rxed, like she was enjoying the feeling.

    " Incredible." Yang Shi jumped from his seat.

    " As I suspected, You have a special body constitution, And a rare one." Yang Shiughed.

    " Body Constitution? Me? How is that possible?"

    Ruxue became surprised.

    " I just tested now. You have Yin Maiden Physique." Yang Shi said.

    " Yin Maiden Physique? So I am a cauldron for cultivators. It seems fate has truly made me a prostitute." Ruxue suddenly became dejected.

    She knew What this physique means. If anyone steals her virginity, His cultivation will soar and he will gain an advantage over the Yin element.

    " What you said is half correct. You can be considered as a cultivation cauldron, but for now. Your physique is a variant. If you can cultivate a special cultivation technique, You will able to change your physique to Nine Yin Emperyean Physique. Its an extremely powerful and rare physique." Yang Shi exined.

    Bai Ruxue suddenly knelt in front of Yang Shi.

    " Young Noble. I don''t care about any special physique. I am ready to be your cultivation cauldron, Your eternal ve, But please, Help me to take my revenge.

    " Well..." Yang Shi became a bit speechless. To be honest, its a good offer. As Yang Shi is an infamous assassin, He could do this work in ease. But still, he hesitated a bit.

 Chapter 61: Sworn Brothers

    Chapter 61: Sworn Brothers

    As the rule of Assasins, If you get payment, Then do the work. Yang Shi thought about it.

    " Please, Young Noble. I will do whatever you say. Please help me. I..." Ruxue staggered. His face was bright red, a mixture of shame and drunkenness.

    " I can give you an advance..." Ruxue began to slide down her dress. Blood gushed to Yang Shi''s head as stared like a wooden chicken. All girls of Hundred Flower Pavilion wore thin clothes, As they had to fulfill the guest''s request.

    " Whoa, Wai..." Yang Shi hurriedly tried to stop ruxue. She almost took off her upper half of clothes. Yang Sho could see her snowy shoulders and a part of her proud chest.

    " RUXUE!" Yang Shi shouted. " Ah... I am sorry." Ruxue snapped out from her absent mind. She hurriedly dressed up again. Smoke was rising from her face.

    " You really don''t have to do this..." Yang Shi said with a light tone, But deep within his heart, he sighed. " Damn, I shouldn''t have stopped her. I missed my chance." Aint rose from Yang Shi''s heart.

    " I am really sorry, Young Noble. I wasn''t in my mind. I..." While Ruxue was speaking, Her legs swayed. Yang Shi rushed and grabbed Ruxue''s waist, Preventing her from falling down.

    " Ungh...Young Noble... Yo- You are myst h...hope" Ruxue murmured. After drinking much Hundred Flower Wine, Ruxue has be drunk. She slumped on Yang Shi''s chest and fell asleep.

    " Ugh... I shouldn''t have let her drink this much wine." Yang Shi thought. Hundred Flower Wine is no ordinary wine. It was brewed with many medicinal herbs. This wine is meant for cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Ruxue was only at the Spiritual Ascension realm, So the effects are obvious.

    Yang Shi looked at her beautiful face. He could sense, In her despair filled heart, There was a silver hope awakened because of him.

    " Well... Should I help or not? We are in a win-win situation." While Yang Shi was thinking, His eyes suddenly fell on Ruxue''s chest.

    " This..." He gaped. He saw arge portion of her clothes are wide opened. It seems she didn''t fully do her clothes in hurry.

    " Gulp..." Yang Shi gulped a mouthful of saliva and took some deep breaths to suppress his thoughts.

    " Not now, Boi, NOT NOW... YES, NOW, No, NOT NOW..." Wild thoughts appeared in Yang Shi''s mind. Yang Shi thought to leave the room, But he found that Ruxue had gripped his hand. Thanks to Yang Sji''s futile effort to free his hand, Ruxue''s chest became more visible. Her bare chest was wide opened to Yang Shi. He felt like her mind is going to explode. Yang Shi''s little brother has already stood proudly, Throbbing crazily.

    " Ngh...Father... don''t go... Don''t leave us alone..." Ruxue murmured while she was sleeping. " See? It''s not the right time. At least not till she agrees." Yang Shi screamed in his heart.

    " I have to go... I HAVE TO GO..." Yang Shi thought if he stays any moment longer, He might do something horrible. He took off his outer robe and dashed out from the room.

    *Huff Huff* Yang Shi wiped his sweat. " Calm down, Lil bro. I will feed you soon." Yang Shi looked at his pants, Which had be a tent.

    " Aiii, It seems I have got no luck today. He was walking in the corridor to calm his beating heart.

    " Broootthherrrrr Yaaaangg." A loud voice interrupted him. He saw Mo Yi rushed toward him and hugged him.

    " AHAHAHAHA, Metting you is my good fortune, Brother Yang. AHAHAHA." Mo Yi roared inughter.

    " Ahahaha, It seems Brother Mo is happy. Did the medicine worked?" Yang Shi asked with a smile.

    " Brother Yang, I have to say, Your medicine is more potent than the aphrodisiac I used before. I dominated Ming''er for the entire two incense stick worth of time. We truly became wild on the bed. Heheheh, Her body..." Mo Yi drooled.

    " Anyway, After releasing my dam, I felt lighter than ever. Not only my pain vanished, but I could also even feel that I will break through to the Fourth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm in a few days."

    Mo Yi said happily.

    Previously Mo Yi thought that he had to wait for another six months to break through the next stage. He also panicked a bit, Since Mo Feng was able to advance so fast. But because of Yang Shi, He felt confident now.

    " Your Yang energy has been stored for a long time. So it stagnated your cultivation. After venting it out, You could naturally breakthrough to the next realm." Yang Shi said.

    " Whatever you say, brother Yang. But from today, You are my, Mo Yi''s sworn brother." Mo Yi dered.

    "It is my fortune to be your sworn brother." Yang Shi alsoughed. " Good, Very good. From today onwards, We both shall rampage in Firmament City." Mo Yiughed.

    " By the way, Have you finished yours?" Mo Yi asked with a lewd tone, showing the " Key entering the Lock" gesture.

    " Yep, I have done it. It was quite fun. She was really beautiful. Her techniques were marvelous." Yang Shi bbered much, But he was crying in his heart. " Why, Just Why couldn''t do it?"

    " Ahahaha, I didn''t know that Brother Yang is such a yer. Ah, Its the time. Let''s go for the Flower Princes'' show. Where the hell these two brats went?" Mo Yi went to find his twockeys.

    " Ole Jin, Where are you?" Mo Yi shouted. He always called them Ole Jin and Little Jin.

    " Bruh, Could it be that they ran ahead to get their seats?" Mo Yi grumbled.

    " Well, Let''s go and find them." Yang Shi said. Mo Yi nodded and went to find them.

    " Damn, Those two rascals, Where are they?" Mo Yi grumbled. At that moment, He heard a muffled sound.

    " Yo-Young Master." A feeble voice started Mo Yi and Yang Shi.

    " Ole Jin!!! Wh- Who did this to you? WHICH BASTARD DID THIS?" Mo Yi roared in rage. Ole Jin was in a battered state. His clothes were torn and dyed with blood. His arms and legs were broken. He was beaten so badly that he couldn''t even talk.

    Yang Shi hurriedly took out a few healing pills and fed him. Mo Yi''s eyes already became red.

    " Ole Jin, Tell me, Who did this? Where is Little Jin?" Mo Yi asked with a cold tone. Ole Jin gasped for breath, Then said, " Th-They took away little Jin. That damned Mo Feng, He somehow has gotten some experts. That vermin... He must have colluded with some outside force." Ole Jin coughed another mouthful in rage.

    " Mo Feng, It seems you want to goherworlds early." Mo Yi muttered as he clenched his fist.

    " They took Little Jin to the Dawn mountain forest. They challenged you to go there. Young Master, You shouldn''t go there. Hurry and call the elders." Ole Jin said with concern.

    " You don''t understand the situation. It seems the Side brach has brewed some evil plot. I have to go there." Mo Yi shook his head.

    " Since Brother Mo Yi is going there, I will also go with him." Yang Shi said suddenly.

    " Brother Yang, I can''t drag you in this mess. What if you..." Mo Yi became surprised.

    " Brother Mo, We are sworn brothers. We will traverse through dangers and rewards side by side. Furthermore, It has been some while since I battledst time." Yang Shi''s eyes became cold as he unknowingly emanated a faint bloody aura. Both Mo Yi and Ole Jin became surprised to see this.

    " This... Isn''t this the fabled killing intent?" Mo Yi murmured.

    " Killing Intent?" Yang Shi became astonished.

 Chapter 62: Rescue Mission

    Chapter 62: Rescue Mission

    " Brother Yin, Are you sure they won''t go back to the n and get any elders for help?" Mo Feng asked with some concern. In front of his stood a ck clothed young man.

    " Brother Feng, Be at ease. Even they try to go back, They can''t reach the n. Have prepared many obstacles in the way. ording to the nature of Mo Yi, He will never abandon his follower. He is impulsive and hot headed. He will jump into our trap." The ck clothed young man called brother Yin said with an assured tone.

    " Kekeke, Mo Yi, Just wait. You and your main family won''t survive this time. Not even your older brother can save you this time." Mo Feng cackled.

    " Brother Mo Feng, I hope you won''t renege on your promise. After the matter finishes, You must get us that seal." Brother Yin said.

    " Of course, Once Mo Yi is dead, I will have the chance to enter the ancestral ground. I will bring that seal to you." Mo Feng said with assurance.

    " Hahahaha, Good. Tonight, Mo Yi will die without a doubt." Brother Ynughed.

    " That bastard, I will kill him with my own hands." Mo Feng coldly said.

    " As you wish, Brother Feng." Brother Yin smiled evilly."

    .......................................

    " Brother Mo, why the hostility between the main branch and side branch is so high?" Yang Shi asked Mo Yi.

    " Brother Yang, The structure of the ns are veryplicated. The problem is that the disciples of the main branch given more resources than the side branch disciples, as they are the direct bloodline of the n. Unless the youngsters of the side branch show enough potential, They are ignored." Mo Yi exined.

    " However, It''s not the reason in our case." Mo Yi''s eyes became cold. " The side branch of the Mo family is very ambitious. They thought the main branch has gotten weaker by the years, And this the right chance, to grab the leadership of the n.

    "We never neglected any genius of side branches, Yet they are vicious to eradicate us." Mo Yi spat angrily. " Not all the side branches are our enemy, But the Mo Feng''s branch, *Che* They are the true enemy of our n." Mo Yi said.

    " I see. It seems we have to hurry to the Dawn mountain forest." Yang Shi nodded as they both dashed towards the forest.

    After half an hour, They arrived in deep woods. While they were searching for Little Jin, Yang Shi suddenly halted.

    " What happened, Brother Yang?" Mo Yi also stopped and asked Yang Shi.

    " There is someone ahead. No, wait, There are many peoples." Yang Shi said with a low tone.

    " Many peoples? I can neither see nor hear anything." Mo Yi became surprised. In this deep darkness, He indeed couldn''t sense anything.

    Yang Shi''s eyes shone with an azure light as he looked in that direction. " Six people. Four are at the first and second stages of the Primordial Spirit Realm. I can see Mo Feng. Hmm? There is another youth there? It seems that Youth is the leader of the four peoples." Yang Shi said like he was standing beside them.

    " Wow, Brother Yang is sure getting more and more mysterious. It seems that bastard Mo Feng really prepared a trap for us." Mo Yi clenched his fist.

    " Indeed, They are fully prepared for any situation. Even brother Mo brought some experts, They would have died from the ambush. But since I am here... Hehehe." Yang Shiughed sinisterly.

    " Brother Yang, Do you have any ns?" Mo Yi asked.

    " Of course, I do." Yang Shiughed.

    ............................

    " Damn, Where is that bastard?" Mo Feng was getting anxious as the time passed. " Could it be he abandoned hisckey? No, It shouldn''t be the case."

    " Little Jin! LITLLE JIN!" hearing the shout, Mo Feng became ecstatic. " Here hees." He grinned as he got prepared. Soon, Mo Yi reached there and roared, " Mo Feng, You bastard. Come out!"

    " Kekeke, Mo Yi, In the end, you couldn''t escape from your death." Mo Fengughed sinisterly.

    " Cut the crap. Where is Little Jin?" Mo Yi asked menacingly. " That worm? I have killed him long ago." Mo Feng sneered.

    " Do you think you could defeat me? You are nothing more than someone''s dog. Where is your master?" Mo Yi asked.

    " What did you say? You piece of trash, HOW DARE YOU?" Mo Feng roared.

    " Oh, Shut up. I know there is someone behind you. Why don''t you show yourself?" Mo Yi looked at a dark patch.

    " Hoho, It seems the Second young master of Mo family is sure powerful. You even managed to detect me. Too bad, A genius is going to fall today." A young man appeared from the darkness.

    " You-You are from Demonic Sound Sect! You are Yin Luo." Mo Yi became astonished. " Mo Feng, You bastard, You dare to collude with a Demonic Sect?" Mo Yi raged on Mo Feng.

    " It''s none of your business. Say yourst words, Mo Yi." Mo Feng calmly said.

    " Last word, Is it? Yin Luo, Aren''t you afraid that I might have brought some experts with me?" Mo Yi asked Yin Luo.

    " Even you brought them, So what? They would have died anyway." Yin Luoughed.

    " Is it? Why don''t you try to call those, Who had set the ambush." A voice started Yin Luo. He looked behind and saw a white robed young man.

    He held a longsword in his right hands. Blood was dripping from it. Mo Yi became surprised and assured to see him. Yin Luo suddenly got a bad feeling.

    " Changkong... Gui Yan..." Yin Luo shouted a few names. Unfortunately, No one answered.

    " Yin Luo, Are you a fool or what? Don''t you know? Dead men can''t answer." The white robed young manughed.

    Hearing him, Yin Luo''s face twisted as he stared at The white robed young man with a malicious gaze.

    " It seems, I have underestimated you, Mo Yi. Nevermind, It been a while since I have tasted human blood." Yin Luo uttered coldly.

    " Brother Mo, Handle that Mo Feng. in the meantime, I will y with him." The white robed young man said to Mo Yi. Mo Yi nodded and brandished his broadsword.

    " Let''s ee the power of Demonic cultivators." The white robed young man shed is the longsword at Yin Luo.

    Naturally, He was no other than Yang Shi.

 Chapter 63: Battling with Demonic Sects disciples

    Chapter 63: Battling with Demonic Sect''s disciples

    After telling his n to Mo Yi, Yang Shi parted from him. He went in a roundabout way, to reach behind Yin Luo''s men.

    " One on the tree. Two in the bushes and thest one is in the underground. Keke, Interesting trap. Sadly, It''s perfect for me." Yang Shiughed in his heart. He looked inside his Spatial Ring and took out a golden string crossbow.

    " The one, hiding on the tree has a bow. That means hisbat power is the lowest. The underground person is for the sneak attack. Thus he is also weak. The two hiding in the bushes is the real deal. Hmm, I have to finish the weaker one first." Yang Shi muttered.

    " Damn, Just how long we have to wait? My neck is aching now." One of them grumbled.

    " Brother Changkong, just a bit more... Here, Mo Yi has arrived." Another young man said with a pleasant tone.

    " Be on the alert. There might be other experts hiding behind him." A cold voice spoke.

    " Hmm, I can''t see anyone with my [Eyes of Darkness] technique." The voice from the top of the tree spoke.

    " Hmm? Wh-..." Suddenly, his voice cut off. With a muffled noise, Something fell from the tree.

    " Hm!!! Dai Zhi!!!" The person in the bush eximed.

    " Enemy attack! ENE-" before the underground person could scream, A white figure dashed past him. With the sound of a swift wind, Blood trickled down from his neck.

    " How..." The person muttered before falling to the ground. Death was far swift for him.

    " Changkong!!!" One of the two roared. He came out of the bush and chased after the white figure. He brandished his longsword and shed at Yang Shi.

    " Naive." Yang Shi smirked as he jumped and twisted his body. He dodged the sword sh in the air and pierced the heart of the person with his own longsword.

    " Arrgh>" The person screamed as he fell to his knees. " Damn, Bastard, I WILL KILL YOU!!!" The remaining person took out his saber.

    " Crimson Dragon Wave." That person roared as he sent a crimson wave of saber towards Yang Shi.

    " Radiant Guard." Yang Shi said as he tried to block the iing attack.

    *BANG* The crimson wave smashed into a formless barrier. Yang Shi shivered but still persisted. Finally, The crimson wave vanished.

    " How? Who are you?" That person screamed.

    " Just die already. Fists of me." Yang Shi''s fist burst with mes as he punched the abdomen of that person.

    " Gahh." That person coughed a mouthful of blood. His abdomen charred ck. Yang Shi pulled out his longsword, and without any noise, beheaded him.

    " Minions are in. Time to catch the big fish." Yang Shi muttered as he rushed to Mo Yi.

    ...................................

    " You are very brave, Killing the disciples of Demonic Sound Sect!" Yin Luo said grimly.

    *Pah* " You are saying it like some big deal. It''s not like I haven''t killed any Sect''s disciples before!" Yang Shi snickered.

    " You have guts. Too bad, You have barged to the gates of hell!" Yin Luoughed sinisterly as he took out a ck spear. One could see the mixture of ck and crimson aura emanating from it.

    " What''s that treasure?" Yang Shi felt his hair was standing on its end. He felt an uneasy feeling from that spear.

    " This my weapon, ck Dragon. It''s refined from blood and bones or humans." Yin Luo said proudly.

    " What a disgusting bastard!" Yang Shi couldn''t help but curse. Although he ain''t any righteous type, But he still got angered by his words. "It seems its time to act a bit righteous." Yang Shi muttered.

    " Come and Feed my weapon." Yin Luoughed as he dashed at Yang Shi.

    " Fast!" Yang Shi astonished by Yin Luo''s speed and activated Myriad Ghost Steps within no time. He thought Yin Luo won''t be agile as he held a spear as his weapon.

    " Die, Bastard." Yin Luo roared as he thrust his spear to Yang Shi. Yang Shi hurriedly jumped to evade the attack, But Yin Luo was even smarter. He rotated his spear and hit Yang Shi''s chest.

    *BAM* Yang Shi flew backward and crashed on a tree. Yang Shi got up hurriedly, But Yin Luo already reached there.

    " Crimson Dragon Wave." Yin Luo roared as a crimson colored dragon coiled around Yin Luo''s ck spear. Yin Luo rotated his spear like a fan and threw the dragon at Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi hurriedly activated Radiant Guard. The dragon crashed on Yang Shi''s formless shield.

    *BANG* The shiel shattered after a few breaths. The crimson dragon mmed on Yang Shi and sent him flying.

    " Brother Yang!!!" Mo Yi roared. Although he and Mo Feng had been fighting, He still kept an eye on Yang Shi. He couldn''t help but be worried, after seeing Yang Shi got hit by the dragon.

    " Ahahaha. Tonight, You all gonna die." Mo Fengughed as he attacked Mo Yi.

    " ARRRGHH" Mo Yi roared as Qi erupted from his body.

    *Boom* Mo Yi shed Mo Feng with his broad sword. Mo Feng suddenly got astonished by the sudden eruption of the power of Mo Yi.

    " Yo-You advanced to the Fouth stage!!!" Mo Feng screamed.

    " Cloud Splitting sh." Mo Yi waved his broadsword and lunged on Mo Feng.

    " Brother Feng, His Qi us still unstable. Wait, I ille." Yin Luo shouted.

    " You are NOT GOING ANYWHERE!" A voice started Yin Luo.

    " You... Still alive?!!" Yin Luo became surprised.

    " It seems, I don''t need to hold back anymore." Yin Luo smirked as a dense ck smoke boomed from his body. A ck Skull materialized in thin air.

    " Indeed, No Need to hold back." Yang Shi got up and wiped his blood from his mouth. Suddenly, His left eye became azure and his right eye became crimson red. A thin, ethereal, crimson ring appeared behind him. He felt his Dantian is being replenished by the Spiritual Qi.

    " What''s This? Yo-You have a Primordial Spirit!!!" Yin Luo staggered.

    " There are Heavens beyond the Heavens." Yang Shi smirked.

    " Hmph, Let''s see how can you survive this. Sea of Darkness." Yin Luo snickered as he sent waves of dark lights toward Yang Shi.

    " Darkness, Is it? Yang Shi drew Qi to both of his palms and did a dozen of hand seals. " Storm of Inferno." Yang Shi roared as a huge pir of me appeared before him.

 Chapter 64: Bitter Battle

    Chapter 64: Bitter Battle

    me raged around Yang Shi as he controlled it. Yang Shi roared as he fired the me pir vertically at the Sea of Darkness of Yin Luo.

    The raging me and darkness met in halfway. A terrifying explosion blew the surroundings.

    " Bastard, Just DIE!!!" Yin Luo appeared as the dust settled. Swinging his ck spear he lunged on Yang Shi.

    " Thirty-Six Demonic Piercer." Yin Luo raged. His spear tip became invisible. Yang Shi felt horror from the bottom of his heart. He hurriedly activated his Godly Vision as he retreated. Yin Luo''s spear bloomed like aherworld flower. Yang Shi pulled out both his sword and saber to confront Yin Luo''s attack.

    *CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG* a dozen of metallic noise resounded is a split second. Yang Shi felt like both his arm going numb.

    *Arrrgh* Yang Shi gathered his strength as he pushed Yin Luo.

    " Splitting the Shadow." Yang Shi used the martial art of Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art.

    Yang Shi''s longsword blurred as he shed at Yin Luo. The wind howled as the sword shed. Yin Luo''s face changed as he hastily dodged the attack.

    *Swish* Yang Shi''s sword ripped the clothes of Yin Luo, But Yang Shi didn''t take any rest. For the first time, Yang Shi met someone who could match his speed.

    The Myriad Ghost Steps of Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art was one of the peak grade movement technique of Earth. But Yin Luo was is matching his speed by his agility technique, Which isn''t even rare here. Yang Shi finally understood the importance of various magic arts and cultivation techniques.

    " Demonic Bind!" Yin Luo roared as his straight spear became wavey. It attacked Yang Shi from all directions, Like a traps a fish.

    " Severing the Shackles." Yang Shi''s performed his second sword stance. He performed a crisscrossed sword stance, Blocking the attack of Yin Luo.

    *BAM* The sudden move of Yang Shi blew the like an attack of Yin Luo. Due to his long weapon, Yin Luo could only retreat after the failure. Yang Shi couldn''t miss this chance. Without wasting a second, He executed the ultimate technique- shing Lightning.

    Sword light shed, as Yang Shi did a horizontal chop. Yin Luo felt a grave danger from this attack, So he used his spear to block the sword in its path. But suddenly, Yin Luo''s expression changed drastically. His spear hit the empty air. Surprisingly, Yang Shi''s Sword appeared a few inches sideways from his original path.

    The sword fell and blood shed. Yang Shi almost reached the heart of Yin Luo as suddenly, A yellow light glowed from Yin Luo''s body. Yang Shi''s felt a strong repulsive force from Yin Luo''s body as he bounced backward.

    A yellow talisman appeared out of thin air, turning into dust. Yang Shi''s eyes went wide. " Holy Fuck. That''s a protective talisman!!! Fuck his Luck." Yang Shi couldn''t help but curse.

    " Brother Yang, wait for a little. I will finish this bastard and assist you as soon as possible." Mo Yi roared from afar. From his battle, It seems Mo Feng will lose.

    " Damn, Mo Feng. You trash." Yin Luo couldn''t help but curse. He swung his spear and lunged at Yang Shi. After hisst attack, Yang Shi became cautious. He felt his Spiritual Qi is rapidly depleting. Even his crimson ring couldn''t draw much energy from the world.

    " Damn. I guess I have to cheat." Yang Shi hurriedly did hand seals and roared, " Storm of Inferno." me engulfed Yang Shi as he condensed a me pir. Yin Luo became wary of this attack since it can block his Sea of Darkness.

    Yin Luo didn''t waste any time as he also chanted the incantation for Sea of Darkness. But suddenly, The zing mes vanished, along with Yang Shi.

    " WHAT!!!" Yin Luo''s face changed drastically changed as he saw Yang Shi is dashing toward Mo Yi.

    " Brother Mo, Get ready." Yang Shi roared as he took out his Dark Twilight dagger. He aimed and threw with full power, Imbuing his half of Spiritual Qi in it.

    " NOOOO." Yin Luo roared crazily as he attempted to chase Yang Shi. Unfortunately, The dagger flew like a shooting star. Before Mo Feng could turn his head and see it, The dagger blew the head of Mo Feng like a watermelon.

    *Spash* Blood and mushy matters sttered on the ground as Mo Feng''s headless body tumbled down. Mo Yi didn''t flinch as he turned and dashed at Yin Luo. Yang Shi also did a backflip and rushed at Yin Luo.

    Yin Luo already guessed the result, so he prepared measures beforehand. He took out another talisman as he imbued spiritual Qi inside.

    " Mo Yi, and You. I will remember this. I will return and personally cut your head." Yin Luo spat venomously. Yang Shi''s face twisted as he saw the talisman.

    " What the fuck!!! An escape talisman!" Yang Shi felt his mind is going crazy. Protection talisman is already rare. Now Yin Luo took out another talisman.

    " Brother Mo, We must hurry and kill that bastard." Yang Shi screamed as he charged at Yin Luo. A faint light already started to glow from the talisman. That means it is almost activated.

    " What to do? WHAT TO DO?" Yang Shi crazily thought. He certainly doesn''t want to see his enemy to escape. Once Yin Luo escaped, There will be endless trouble in the future. Furthermore, A demonic Sect can be more terrifying than a righteous sect.

    " Damn, I will bet on this." Yang Shi''s palm starting to glow. me zed as it slowly took the shape of a sword. It was a short sword. Yang Shi once tried to use this technique, But he failed. But in this situation, He could only bet on this.

    " me Sword, Appear." Yang Shi yelled as the mes burned even more vigorously. The me Sword became more physical. Yang Shi didn''t wait and threw it at Yin Luo''s hand. The me sword is not only an attack technique But also has the binding attribute.

    " Brother Mo, NOW!!!" Yang Shi roared as he dropped on the ground. The me sword hit Yin Luo, Distracting him for a moment. It was enough for Mo Yi.

    " Cloud Cutting sh." Mo Yi raged as he chopped his broadsword.

    " NOOOOOOOO." Yin Luo screamed like a pig Before his body chopped in half. While activating a transportation talisman, One enters a vulnerable state. Mo Yi took its advantage and killed Yin Luo.

    Yang Shi breathed in relief as he slept on the ground. He popped some Spirit Restoration Pills in mouth and sat up.

    " Ahahahaha, WE DID IT!!!" Mo Yi roared withughter, and after that, dropped on the ground.

 Chapter 65: Mo Family

    Chapter 65: Mo Family

    " Ahh, It''s morning!" Yang Shi got up from the ground. He saw Mo Yi was snoring next to him. The eastern sky is slowly brightening. Yang Shi stretched his body and shook Mo Yi.

    " Brother Mo Yi, Brother Mo Yi. Get Up." Yang Shi yelled.

    " Ahngh, Ming''er, Don''t suck that hard. Ehehehe, I am going to put it there." Mo Yi muttered lewdly. Yang Shi''s face turned odd after hearing this.

    " This brat..." Yang Shi''s eyes twitched as he condensed a ball of water and threw on Mo Yi''s face.

    " HUH!!! Mo Feng! Yin Luo! Die!!!!" Mo Yi got up and yelled, waving his hands.

    " Mo Feng? Aren''t You thinking about Ming''er?" Yang Shi snorted.

    " Eh? Ah, Brother Yang, You are alive." Mo Yi sorted his thoughts and jumped happily.

    " What? Should I die? Are you cursing me?" Yang Shi red at Mo Yi.

    " Ahahaha, I didn''t mean that. Anyway, It''s a huge win for us." Mo Yiughed till he coughed.

    " Ok, ok, Don''t get too excited. We have to escape quickly. Who knows, There might any backup of Demonic Sound Sect might being here." Yang Shi said with a serious tone.

    " Yes, We should leave immediately. But first, Lets first search Little Jin." Mo Yi suddenly remembered. They almost forgot little Jin.

    " Shit, I almost forgot. Little Jin, LITLLE JIN!!!" Yang Shi and Mo Yi yelled his name as they searched everywhere.

    " Mnnfnfnf." Yang Shi heard a soft muffled sound.

    " Shhhhh." Yang Shi gestured to stop yelling.

    " Mnnfnfnfnf." Yang Shi heard again. " Strange, from Where is the sounding?" Yang Shi heard the leaves rustling on a tree.

    " Eh?" Yang Shi saw a tall tree in front of him. With a hop, he climbed on the tree. After a few breaths of time, a sack fell from above. Mo Yi hurriedly opened it. He saw little jin lying inside it, with his mouth stuffed with cloth.

    " Lil Jin, You are safe!!!" Mo Yi hugged him tightly.

    " Wuuuu, Young Master Mo, I was so scared. That damned Mo Feng, He colluded with Demonic Sound Sect. We have to leave quickly. They might be back at any moment." Little Jin bbered.

    " Don''t worry. We have taken care of everything." Mo Yiughed.

    " You mean... REALLY? I KNEW IT. Young master is the greatest genius of this era." Little Jin bootlicked Mo Yi.

    " Enough brat, Don''t be reckless in the future anymore." Mo Yiughed.

    " Let''s check our battle spoils." Yang Shi said suddenly.

    " Ah, Yes. That bastard Yin Luo had so many talismans. He must have other treasures as well." Mo Yi''s eye gleamed.

    "Let''s see? The ck spear is a treasure. Hmm?" Yang Shi grabbed the dark spear. A cold light shone in it. Yang Shi could see faint ck smoke whirling around it.

    " This! There is already an embryonic spirit inside it. It almost reached the True rank treasure." Yang Shi became excited. A True rank treasure is quite rare to find. With a bit of nurturing, This spear will ascend to the True rank.

    " Strange, I feel an evil entity is residing in it." Yang Shi thought as he made a thrust with the spear.

    " CRACK." With a cracking sound, The spear snapped from half. A ck-light erupted from it and shot at Yang Shi''s forehead.

    "!!!" Yang Shi''s face became pale, as he couldn''t dodge it. But thankfully, It disappeared after hitting his forehead.

    " What was that?" Yang Shi wiped his sweat as he thought. He peered inside his body and saw everything is normal. " I hope its not any kind of evil curse." Yang Shi went to the corpse of Yin Luo and found his storage pouch.

    " Hmm, Whats these? Oh, a bottle of True Energy pills. And here, a bottle of Blood Boosting pill. Hmm, Oh, wow, Two stalks of Calm Heart Grass. Eh, Bone Grinding pill?" Yang Shi became happy to see these things.

    " Damn it, So you have a Sky Enchantment pill. No wonder, Why did you cultivate quickly. But now, Its mine." Mo Yi roared from afar. He was sorting Mo Feng''s Storage pouch and got a Sky enhancement pill. This pill can instantly grant a boost to one''s cultivation and help to break through quickly.

    " Brother Yang, Since we have looted, We should hurry back. My mother must be worrying." Mo Yi said to Yang Shi.

    " Yes, Let''s go." Yang Shi nodded as they rushed back to the city.

    ......................................

    Inside a dark room, A ck clothed figure sat in a meditative position. Suddenly, He opened his eye and roared, " Luo''re!!!" He got up in rage. A terrifying pressure burst from his body.

    " Which Bastard kill my Son?!!! Thankfully, I added a tracing talisman on his ck Dragon Spear. That person... Is in Firmament City. Just wait... I will y your body and refine your soul, Never t reincarnated again." That person vanished from his spot.

    ...............................................

    " Hmm? Someone is jinxing me?" Yang Shi thought.

    " Here, Brother Yang, We reached our Family''s main house." Mo Yi said happily.

    " Brat, You finally thought to return from Hundred Flower Pavilion? I thought those vixens had eaten youpletely." A cold voice started both of them.

    Mo Yi''s eye was sunken as he red at the owner of the voice. It was a middle aged man, wearing a spotless white robe. He had a tall stature and wide shoulders, Giving off an aura of imposingness. Yang Shi''s eye squinted as he looked at the man. He couldn''t gauge his cultivation stage.

    " Must be Eight or Ninth stage of Primordial Spirit Realm. That''s so powerful." Yang Shi muttered his heart.

    " Hmph, Old man, All you know is to use me. I was battle with my life on the line, And you did nothing." Mo Yi raged.

    " Oh, Should I have protected you? You should die If you are weak. By the way, Are you a friend of Mo Yi?" That man looked at Yang Shi.

    " Indeed, He is my sworn Brother. His name is Yang Shi. He is an amazing fighter and Alchemist." Mo Yi said proudly.

    " Alchemist at such a young age? Marvelous." That personughed and patted on Yang Shi''s shoulder. His attitude became amicable toward Yang Shi.

    " This junior just had some minor aplishment." Yang Shi humbly said.

    " Bruh, You never praised me before." Mo Yi muttered as heined.

    " Ahahaha, Brat, I see. You reached the fourth stage. Not Bad. Finally, You got some backbone like Your Older Brother." That person gave a light bonk on Mo Yi''s head.

    " I have important news for you. Mo Feng, He..." Mo Yi suddenly said.

    " I know, He colluded with Yin Luo and tried to kill you. I have already taken care of them, So rx." That person waved his hand.

    " WHAT? You damned old man, You knew beforehand?!!! Then why didn''t you sent any expert to protect us? We would have died, If not for Yang Shi." Mo Yi screamed.

    " Tch, You are still naive. How could I have got the chance to eradicate all the opposing faction with one blow, If I had sent elders with you? And please, You wouldn''t have died anyway, So stop being a sissy." That person coldly berated Mo Yi.

    " I... I will surelyin to the mother." Mo Yi was so angered, that he couldn''t even breathe properly. How there could be such a father in this world?

    " Fine. I will be easy on you, this time. Go enjoy it for two days. You will be entering the Anscetral grounds for three days. So, Be prepared. And, Yang Shi, I hope you will enjoy here." That person smiled at Yang Shi as he left.

    " Weird, Old man never talks this nicely." Mo Yi said with an odd tone.

    " He is your father after all." Yang Shi shrugged.

    " Anyway, Damn that Mo Feng. We missed the chance to witness Flower Fairy Hua''s performance. Tch." Mo Yi cursed. " Why don''t we go there tonight? To celebrate?" Mo Yi suddenly asked.

    " Che che, Already missing Miss Ming? Yang Shiughed. But then He thought of something and shook his head.

    " Not today, But tomorrow. I got some work tonight." Yang Shi said.

    " Leaping Carp Town, huh?" Yang Shi softly muttered.

 Chapter 66: Re-visiting Blood Moon Hall

    Chapter 66: Re-visiting Blood Moon Hall

    Yang Shi and Mo Yi went on a walk around the Mo Family estate. It was over thirty acres. After strolling for a while, Mo Yi led Yang Shi to his special room. The room was luxurious, Embedded with golds and gems.

    " Brother Mo, I need some rest." Yang Shi said to Mo Yi.

    " Ah, Yes. I am also dead tired by yesterday''s battle. See tatter." after Mo Yi left, Yang Shi sat in a meditative position on the bed. He opened the pill vial and ate all the True Energy pill.

    *BOOM* The spiritual energy gushed inside his Dantian. Yang Shi opened his eyes, saw the sun was setting. " Finally, Broken through the Third Realm." Yang Shi breathed out the turbid air.

    The Mo family estate was very big. At least a few hundred members are in this estate. Experts aremon as clouds here. Yang Shi thought, " The Mo family is a branch of the original Mo n. If this the power of the Mo Family, Then How powerful the main n would be?"

    Yang Shi took around and went to the streets. Then he entered in an old alley. He saw a small tea store there.

    " Customer, How I can help you?" a middle aged man asked. Yang Shi showed him a silver badge. The man''s eye squinted as he pointed Yang Shi a direction. There was a dark door inside the tea store.

    Yang Shi went inside and followed the underground stairs. He saw a giant underground hall. He casually entered.

    " Damn, Did you really fought with old man Green Bamboo? Ghost Steps, Tell us the truth!" The main hall of Blood Moon Hall is vastly different than the Misty Tower City branch. Lots of people are eating and drinking, chatting loudly. Yang Shi felt its not an assassination organization, This is just a regr inn.

    But Yang Shi could feel, each of these persons has a dreadful aura. They are like sleeping demons. Once awaken, They will carry ughter.

    " Yea, I fought with green Bamboo after so many years. Heaven Protection Guild has be a bit stronger, Ya know. But some new arrogant fools are prancing around, Saying Blood Moon Hall has declined." The middle aged man raged.

    " Che, It seems another battle is inevitable. Tch, I heard a Young genius of Soaring Star Supreme Kingdom had joined their guild?" One Young man in green clothes asked in curiosity.

    " Yes, I heard that too. Hepleted a dozen of missions in a row, Killing bandits and robbers. He earned himself the tag of Dragon Sword." Another Person said.

    " Bruh, I will see himter. Arrogant bastard, Hmph." The green robed Young man snickered.

    Yang Shi heard all and shook his head, As he couldn''t understand.

    " Brat, Are you new here?" a ck robed person asked Yang Shi.

    " Yes, I am new here. I just came here to take some missions." Yang Shi said. " By the way, What is Heaven Protection Guild?" Yang Shi asked the person.

    " Eh? You don''t know?" The person asked Yang Shi with surprise.

    " Come here, Brat, This uncle will tell you." The middle aged man, who was talking about his battle with green bamboo, yelled at Yang Shi.

    " Damn, Here Ghost Steps has begun his bullshit again." The ck clothed person massaged his be.

    " Hanxiang, Shut the fuck up. I am here to guide new peoples. So don''t meddle in my business." Ghost Steps barked back.

    " Ok. So, Where was I? Yes, Heaven Protection Guild and Blood Moon Hall are basically born opponents. Their work is to protect. Our is to kill." Ghost Steps said.

    " So basically, We are evil and They are righteous?" Yang Shi said with a smile.

    " What is righteous? What is evil? It all depends on men''s hearts. We are just traveler of different paths." Ghost Steps sighed lightly.

    " So, When I meet a Heaven Protection member, I have to kill them?" Yang Shi asked.

    " They are not our enemy. To be honest, We have a strange rtionship. There can be only bitter enmity or lifesting friendship with them." Ghost Step sighed.

    " Why?" Yang Shi became curious.

    " In ancient times, Both Blood Moon Hall and Heaven Protection Guild used to be one power. But then, they chose to be separate, going their own path. Remember, kid, When You meet one of their members, Don''t ambush that person. You both have to agree for a battle." The Ghost step said.

    " I will." Yang Shi nodded.

    ............................................

    Moon has risen. It was another evening in the Hundred Flower Pavilion.

    " He left... Just like that." A beautiful girlmented.

    " It seems my official life as a prostitute has begun, And my first customer was him." That girl smirked in despair.

    " All men are the same. They tell you some sweet words, use your body, then leave." An old voice said.

    " Aren''t you happy? You have made me sell my body." Ruxue screamed at the old woman. The old woman was the same person Who was in charge of training Ruxue.

    " Selling your body? This ce gives you the food, clothing, and all the luxury you want. All you need to do is show your talent, and you will reach a height where even rich nobles can''t afford you." That old woman said.

    " They are still prostitutes. Just their price is higher." Ruxue snorted.

    " You truly want to know whats the meaning of selling body? I was kidnapped from my n, sold to an auction. The guys of the auction, those who bought me, all of them raped me. When I couldn''t satisfy their thirst, they sold me again. I have forgotten how many times I was sold? How many times I was bought?, How many times I have to face the bestiality of men? Do you understand what it feels like?" That old woman shouted coldly.

    " I..." Ruxue never expected that this cold, Old hag would have such a tragic past.

    " But this ce is different from others. The more your potential, the more resources you will get. There might be a day when you can marry a prince or a duke of a kingdom. You don''t have to remain in this filthy ce. If you have power, You will able to change Your fate. Think carefully. You have the potential to be the fourth princes of Hundred Flower Pavilion." She left, saying these words.

    " Didn''t you said, you will be with me forever? Didn''t you said, You will help me to get my revenge? You also said that you will take me away from this ce. Why? Are all are just lies?" Ruxue looked at the moon as she thought aboutst night.

    " Forget him, Ruxue. He will nevere back." Ruxue walked out of her room. How could she forget Yang Shi, Who was her first customer...or Perhapsst?

    ....................................

    " Patriarch Mei, I did my part of the deal. Where is she?" A voice asked.

    " Bai Xuan, We are still searching for her. She couldn''t have escaped any far." Patriarch of Mei n said.

    " Damn, Do you took me as a fool? You don''t have any information about Bai Ruxue. You can''t even find out about a girl?" Bai Xuan raged.

    " Hmph. Bai Xuan, Don''t be cocky. We said we are finding her. Do you think we don''t know? You want to steal her Yin and achieve a breakthrough? You even betrayed your n." Patriarch of Mei n snorted.

    " So What? I am the Town magistrate of Leaping Carp Town. My backers are the royal court. Do you think you can do anything to me? And for your information, It''s not me who wants Bai Ruxue''s body." Bai Xuan berated.

    " You better find her. Otherwise, Hehe, I don''t even need to lift a finger, and your Mei n will be *Poof*" Bai Xuan coldlyughed as he left.

    " Damn." Mei n''s patriarch clenched his fist.

    ....................................

    *Target'' Name - Bai Xuan. The Town magistrate of Leaping Carp Gate.*

    " Hmm? But, Didn''t Ruxue said that all Bai n members got killed?" A young man in a jet ck robe and a demonic mask thought. He moved like a specter as he went to the direction of Leaping Carp Gate.

    " Interesting." He muttered.

 Chapter 67: Assassination of Town Magistrate

    Chapter 67: Assassination of Town Magistrate

    " Wow, A 500k bounty. But it seems, assassination has be fun for me." Yang Shi thought. Money wasn''t a problem for him, but still, He got addicted to killing.

    " No wonder. The first line of Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art-[The moment you practice this technique, You will never be able to go back] How true!" Yang Shi sighed.

    " I will reach Leaping Carp Town in an incense stick of time. Tch, Bai Xuan was given the title of Town Magistrate by the second prince of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. Killing Bai Xuan might attract the Royal n. Well, I have to be famous anyway. Hail Evil Shadow...AHAHAHAHA." Yang Shiughed as he dashed towards Leaping Carp Gate.

    ...........................................

    " Damn, Patriarch has been angrytely. That bitch Bai Ruxue, Just Where she went?" A young man said. He was wearing a green cloth.

    " Perhaps she became someone''s whore? Che che, She had such a perfect body." Another one smacked his lips.

    " Excuse me, But can you tell, Where the Town Magistrate live?" A young voice started them.

    " Who are you brat? Why are you looking for a town magistrate?" A person asked.

    " I am from Firmament City. I was sent there for some works." A young man in a ck robe scratched his head.

    " Well, You can see the tall building. That''s Town Magistrate house." The person pointed at a building.

    " Thank You. Since You helped me, Please ept my little reward." The young man in ck-robed smiled lightly.

    " Ahahaha, Such a smart boy. It''s not like I want..." Before the man could say, Blood sshed on his face.

    Three persons were standing there. The man looked and saw the head of the green robed man, Who called Bai Ruxue a bitch, rolling on the ground.

    " How dare you to bad mouth the girl I have picked? But since you helped me, I will allow you to have swift death." The Young man in ck wore a demonic mask as he looked at The middle aged person.

    " BASTARD..." That person roared as he attacked Yang Shi. Yang Shi didn''t move and let that person attack him.

    *BOOM* The punchnded on Yang Shi''s chest. But surprisingly, Yang Shi didn''t budge an inch.

    " Is it my body is powerful, or You are a weak cultivator?" Yang Shi said in an amused tone. Currently, His raw body is powerful enough to crush The First Stage of Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators.

    " You-You" Before that man could retreat, Yang Shi grabbed his face and crushed. Blood oozed on his palm as Yang Shi threw away his corpse.

    " Ugh... Is it I am addicted to killing? I think a have be a bit negative these days." Yang Shi thought. Unknown to him, a ck light shed in his purple eyes.

    " Let''s meet up with this Bai Xuan and then...Kekeke Mei n." Yang Shi vanished from his ce.

    ........................................

    " Damn those Mei n bastards. If we couldn''t find Bai Ruxue in Another month of time, The Prince won''t spare me." Bai Xuan mmed on the table.

    " My Lord. I think We should put a bounty on her. There are lots of mercenary guilds in Firmament City." an old man with a white beard said.

    " Steward Zhu, We can''t. The matter of Pure Yin Maiden''s physique must remain secret. The Second prince wants to awaken a new Primordial Spirit and advance his cultivation. Bai Ruxue was meant to be his cauldron. But now... Damn it." Bai Xuan cursed.

    " Hoho, I never expected it, That someone else knows about Ruxue''s physique. Could it be that you are the mastermind of all that happened?" A cold voice stated Bai Xuan and Steward Zhu.

    " Who are you?" Steward Zhu yelled. He already drew his sword. Thet saw a ck robed figure appeard in their room soundlessly.

    " Bai Xuan, Town Magistrate, eh? You have done so many atrocities that you have a bounty of 500k gold coins on you?" That figure mocked.

    " Who are you, punk? Another cheap assassin? Since you havee, Don''t think about going back." Bai Xuan raged as he charged at Yang Shi.

    " Dragon Flipping the Sea." Bai Xuan roared as he punched at Yang Shi. Yang Shi didn''t back away and used Fists of me.

    Both fists collided midair, causing cracks on the ground. They dealt with multiple punches on each other.

    " Third Stage punk, DIE!" Bai Xuan yelled as he drew out his saber.

    " Angry Dragon Fury." Seeing the prowess of Yang Shi, Bai Xuan didn''t hesitate and drew his saber. Suddenly, His saber glowed with yellow light as its speed increased by two folds.

    " It''s not like only you can wield a saber." Yang Shi snorted as he also brandished his ancient saber. Yang Shi blocked Bai Xuan''s attack, But his body shook violently by the impact. Bai Xuan didn''t back away and attacked again and again, like a maddened angry dragon.

    " Art of me - Burst!" Yang Shi roared as he threw a huge ball of fire at Bai Xuan. Bai Xuan hurriedly dodged the attack, but still got burned by it.

    As Yang Shi got the chance, He tried to attack Bai Xuan. But felt, He couldn''t move at all. It''s like the ground has be glue, tightly gripping his feet.

    " What The Fuck?!!!" Yang Shi''s face changed greatly. He saw the Steward Zhu knelt as he ced his palms on the ground. Yang Shi could feel a strange pulse from his palms.

    " Earth element magic arts!" Yang Shi bewildered.

    " Good Job, Steward Zhu. Bastard, let''s see HOW WILL YOU ESCAPE?" Bai Xuan coldlyughed as he charged at Yang Shi.

    " Mountain Cleaving Stance." Bai Xuan roared as he chopped down his saber. Cracks spread on the ground like spiderwebs. Like its name, Mountain Cleaving Stance truly cleaved the half of the ground.

    " Interesting Move. I would have injured if I hadn''t cast Radiant Guard." A voice spooked Bai Xuan.

    " H-How? How is this possible?!" Bai Xuan''s eye popped out from its socket. Yang Shi stood there calmly, Without any scratch.

    " I have enough. Time to finish all the troubles." Yang Shi shed with azure light as he disappeared from his ce.

    " Steward Zhu, Hurry!" Bai Xuan screamed.

    " My Lord, He is too fast to trace. I can''t do anything." Steward Zhu yelled helplessly.

    " Old Man, Your bbering much." A voice spoke on the right side of Stewart Zhu.

    " No.NOOO." Steward Zhu made a futile effort to beg. Unfortunately, His voice cut in middle as Yang Shi pierced his heart with his saber.

    " ARRRGH, DIE, YOU FUCKING BASTARD!!!!" Bai Xuan was screaming in rage. He couldn''t bear to see the death of his old servant.

    " Why are you sad, Bai Xuan? Don''t worry, I will soon send you, Where your steward went." Yang Shiughed.

    " You-" Bai Xuan jumped and threw his saber at Yang Shi. He jumped backward and tried to escape through the window.

    " Who is he? Just how terrifying he is!" Bai Xuan regretteding here.

    " Don''t even think about that." A ghastly voice made Bai Xuan pale. Before he could react, With a sharp pain in his head, He cked out.

    " Don''t worry. You aren''t dead yet. I will keep you alive for some time. After all, Your head will be my betrothal gift." Yang Shi smirked.

    " Next stop - Mei n." Yang Shiughed cackled.

 Chapter 68: The Night of Terror

    Chapter 68: The Night of Terror

    " What? Corpses discovered on the town gates? Who is so Bold to kill the town guards?" One of the Mei n elders shouted.

    "It''s true. Elder. There were three bodies. A guard''s skull crushed by brute force. Another one beheaded with one sh. Thest one''s heart pierced by a sharp weapon." The soldier bowed and said.

    " Such brutality! Could it be some Demonic cultivator has entered the city?" An Elder muttered.

    " Spread the guards. If anyone looks suspicious, Arrest him. And, Inform The town magistrate." The Elder coldly shouted.

    " Yes, Elder." The guard bowed and left.

    ....................................

    " Brother An, Let''s see, Who can drink more." A young man raised a wine cup to another one.

    " Aha, Brother Jian really brought some good wine. Cheers on destroying the Bai n." Another young man raised his cup.

    " Damn, Some girls escaped, Otherwise we could have enjoyed them. Tch." One said.

    " Oh, It seems, you guys know some stuff. I don''t have to wait then." Two of them started by the voice.

    " Who-" Before they could draw out their weapons, They froze. Suddenly, A ck clothed person appeared from nowhere and sat beside them.

    " Hmm, Quite ordinary wine. Now now, I will ask one question. Who was actively involved in Bai n''s annihtion? Who raped Bai Ruxue''s aunt and killed his mother?" The ck d figuer asked.

    " Who are you? You dare to trespass in Mei n?" One of the two shouted.

    " Wrong answer." The ck d man gulped down a ss. The young man Who refused to talk felt a sharp pain in his neck.

    The second young man looked at the ck d figure with horror. There was a thin red line streaked across on the first young man''s neck. The line widened as blood gushed out from it.

    " I think I don''t need to repeat. Do I?" The ck clothed figure wore a mask of a demon. When he gazed at the second young man, He felt like he has fallen in an icy pit.

    " I-I...It is the Patriarch, first elder, and The Grand elder. The Grand Elder was injured by the Bai n''s patriarch, so he is in the midst of treatment. This is all I know. Please spare me. I WON''T TELL ANYONE." The young man begged.

    " I know. Of course, You will never say anything." The ck clothed figureughed.

    " Thank you, Thank you very mu..." The young man thanked but stopped in midway. His body trembled as he understood the meaning behind the sentence - You will never say anything." Before he could scream, His eyes cked out.

    Yang Shi wiped the blood from his saber. " Hmm? What''s This?" Yang Shi eximed. He saw the gem embedded on the saber hilt had turned redder by three shades.

    " Why is it turning red? Wait, Could it be..." Yang Shi thought something amazing. " The gem will continue to be red as long as the saber drinks blood. The more this saber ughters, The more powerful it will be. What a treasure!" Yang Shi thought.

    " It might be just a hypothesis. Hmm, Since I am in the Mei n, Why Don''t I do a little experiment?" Yang Shi smirked as he vanished into the darkness.

    ...........................................

    That night, a ghastly figure roamed in the house of the Mei n. The patrolling guard felt something was wrong. When they checked, They couldn''t help but drop on their knees.

    " A-ALARM, HURRY, AND ALRM PATRIARCH!!!" The guard shrieked. In front of them are nothing but piles of dead bodies. The floors and walls are already dyed with blood.

    " WHAT? AN INTRUDER IS MASSACRING OUR CLAN?" The face of Mei n''s patriarch changed greatly. " You damnable fools, a killer is killing our people, and you can''t even sense it?" One of the elders roared.

    " First elder, Fifth Elder, please find that person and bring him here. He will see, What''s worse than death." The Patriarch coldly said.

    " Why trouble so much? Well, here I am." The people in the hall started by the sudden voice.

    All the Elders were in a hall, Where they were discussing Bai Ruxue''s matter. Mei n''s elite force guard the hall. Without permission, No one could trespass.

    But all the elders were astonished to see the ck-clothed figure entering the hall. One of the elders peeked outside But saw nothing more than sttered blood.

    " What audacity! You dare to kill people from our n!" An elder roared.

    Yang Shi scratched his ears, and said, " Who is the Patriarch, The First elder, and The Grand elder?" Seeing the attitude of Yang Shi, The elders became furious.

    " You have guts, kid. You even dar-" Before an elder could say anything, Yang Shi vanished from his spot and appeared beside the elder. His saber shed, and one of the Mei n elder''s body split in half.

    " WHAT?!!!" The remaining Elders couldn''t help but gasp. They couldn''t see the movement of Yang Shi.

    " I am asking again. Besides these three peoples, Everyone stands up. I will count to the five." Yang Shi said while rotating his saber.

    Everyone felt a spine tingling chill. They couldn''t gauge the power of this mysterious ck clothed person. There were twelve people in the hall, But now, Ony eleven remained.

    " One...Two...Three." Yang Shi began to count. " We have enough. Let''s kill that brat." The all the elders charged at Yang Shi at the same time.

    " It seems, You all chosen death." Yang Shi''s smile became wide. He looked at the iing horde of people. He lifted his saber and a terrifying aura burst from his body.

    Those, Who were rushing towards Yang Shi, froze in midway. They felt arge pair of golden eyes of an

    ancient beast is staring at them, Ready for drinking their blood. They felt an oppressing aura from Yang Shi. Their primitive sense was urging only one word - RUN.

    s, Before they could do anything, Yang Shi already started his ughter. " Ahahahahaha. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA." Yang Shiughed like a crazed person. His body shook, and saber cleaved.

    There was only one word ringing in Yang Shi''s mind, " KILL." he felt a strange kind of joy while he was killing. He felt he is the embodiment of a demon.

    All the elders pounced on Yang Shi. Various techniques and weapons rained on him, But Yang Shi felt nothing. He charged forward and used " shing Lightning." His saber blurred and chopped down the elders. Most of Mei n''s elders were between The first and third stages of The Primordial Spirit Realm, So Yang Shi chused them like weeds.

    From eleven, The numbers decreased to six. Yang Shi entered in a demonic mode. He didn''t notice that a faint red glow on his saber.

    " He is the First Elder. He is the one. And the white beard old man is the Grand Elder. Please spare me now. I have told you everything. Pleas-" One of the elder kowtowed before Yang Shi, But soon, His skull was crushed, by Yang Shi''s stomp.

    " So, Its You." Yang Shi looked at The First Elder.

    " Don''t. Don''te to me. PATRIARCH. SAVE ME ARRRGH..." The First Elder screamed as Yang Shi cut his right leg. He stumbled down to the floor, bleeding heavily. The Grand Elder of the Mei n was already killed by Yang Shi. Yang Shi couldn''t help but curse.

    " Damn, Only if I knew before." Yang Shi sighed.

    " Nowy down for a while. I will go and find the remaining one." Yang Shi said to the First Elder as he looked ahead. The so-called patriarch has escaped from the scene.

    Yang Shi looked around and started to sniff.

    " I know, Where you went." Yang Shiughed as he dashed.

    " I need to escape. He is a demon." The patriarch was running crazily for his life. He knew once the ck clothed figure caught him, It will be over for Mei n.

    While he was running, a ck-clothed man appeared in front of him and said, " BOO."

    The patriarch''s face paled as his hair stood on its end. He jumped and tried to change his path. Unfortunately, Like lightning from the blue, a dagger pierced his thigh. He fell down. Yang Shi rolled him and dropped his saber on his abdomen, destroying his Dantian.

    " NOOOOO." He screamed like a pig being butchered, as Yang Shi dragged him by clutching his hair. The patriarch was crippled by Yang Shi.

    That night, Not even a dog was spared from this massacre. The Mei n was razed to blood.

    .....................................

    " Finally, all the betrothal gifts are prepared." Yang Shi dusted his robe. He saw a pond in Mei n''s courtyard. He took off his robe and jumped in it.

 Chapter 69: Shedding Mortal Bones

    Chapter 69: Shedding Mortal Bones

    " Ahhh, So refreshing." Yang Shi swam across the pond. After killing the Mei n without any rest, Yang Shi was both physically and mentally exhausted.

    " I... Just What happened to me?" Yang Shi muttered. Now he was thinking, He acted a bit differently while killing the Mei n people. He felt like he became a bloodthirsty beast at that moment. Then suddenly, A light panel appeared in front of him.

    [ You have sessfully learned White Tiger Primordial spirit''s ability - War God Frenzy]

    " DAMN, Just how forgetful am I?" Yang Shi facepalmed. He actually forgot that he had a third primordial spirit- Celestial White Tiger. He never tried to summon the Primordial Spirit of White Tiger as he simply forgot about it.

    " So, What''s the Innate ability of Celestial White Tiger? War God Frenzy - One will enter in a crazed state of ughter, and his power will enhance by two times. But there is a problem with this. If the user became careless with this technique, He would face Qi deviation, losing his mind to killing. He would be nothing more than a killing machine." After Yang Shi learned about this, He shook his head.

    This technique is immensely powerful. But Yang Shi couldn''t use it during assassination missions. An assassin needs to possess a heart like Ice and a mind like Lightning. The War God Frenzy technique is very much suited for frontalbat, but not for stealth killing.

    " Hmm, there is an extra thing. While I have mastered the War God Frenzy, I also learned another move of White Tiger. Its called [ Aura of ughter] The more people I will kill, The more aura of ughter I will umte. It''s like an invisible oppressive fore. But inter stages, The Aura of ughter can manifest physically. It can affect the mind and soul of people.

    " Little Fellow, You are really the thing What I have thought. A weapon meant for ughter. You arepletely suitable for Yang Shi, But not for Evil Shadow." Yang Shiughed as he looked at the ancient saber. The gem has almost be red like a rose. Yang Shi thought of a devious n. He will use the nameless Longsword for Assassinations and Ancient Saber as his main weapon. Just like that, He will bepletely separated from Evil Shadow, His Assassin self.

    " Well, I should give you a name. Hmm. Since You bring ughter and Destruction, How about... Heaven Cmity? Yes, That''s it. What an OP name." Yang Shiughed as he creased Heaven Cmity.

    " Hmm, Since I have some free time, I should do that." Yang Shi thought as he brought out a white pill. If any other cultivator were here, He would have frightened to death. This pill was the notorious Bone Grinding Pill.

    It is a pill that cultivators should NOT eat. This pill is a poisonous pill, Which corrodes one''s bones. This pill is basically a torture pill. One would feel his bones liquified, horrifying than death.

    But Yang Shiughed as he looked at this pill. With the memory of Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi could turn poison into the elixir. Yang Shi had a herb named Calm Heart Grass. Adding it with the Bone Grinding pill, Yang Shi could use it to temper his bones. Its been a while since he made any breakthrough in The Body Remolding Phase of [Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art].

    " With this, I would be able to break through to the Bone Forging Realm." Yang Shi muttered. Then he gulped down the Bone Grinding Pill and stuffed a stalk of Calm Heart Grass in his mouth.

    The instant his Dantian came into the contact of Bone Grinding Pill, A fierce sensation spread through his body. Yang Shi''s face twisted between ck and blue as he was on the verge of crying aloud. He felt like his bone was being punctured and injected withva. At one point, he felt like he had no bones in his body. His mind, filled with extreme pain.

    He was frightened for those, Who ate this pill without Calm Heart Grass. Yang Shi''s physique was sturdy from the beginning, But still, he felt like hell. He felt he was dying thousands of times.

    Yang Sgi gritted his teeth as he channeled Internal Energy ording to the [Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art] Yang Shi was on the verge of losing his consciousness. But then, a blinding light shone from his Dantian. It was the seal given by the Samsara Emperor.

    The seal erupted with golden light Like a sun is exploding. Even though Yang Shi closed his eyes, He could see a figure in the darkness. It was a skeleton. Yes, A skeleton, oozing out blinding golden light. But from looks, This isn''t any skeleton of a human being.

    The skeleton was so massive that it could blot the sun and pick stars of the sky. It strangely had thee holes above his nose. Perhaps this being had Three eyes from the birth. This not the only difference.

    The skeleton''s fingers are long and looked like ws of a beast, Rather than palms. And most noteworthy, It had bones for wings on it''s back.

    " Just who was this being, Before its death? A Heavenly God? or a terrifying Devil?" Yang Shi thought. Bu then, The massive skeleton began to liquify. A golden vortex appeared around it as the skeleton condensed into a ball of pure golden liquid.

    As Yang Shi was looking at the scene with a gaping mouth, The ball suddenly shot at Yang Shi. Yang Shi was rmed by the sudden change in the situation. But he couldn''t do anything about it.

    The ball hit Yang Shi as it slowly merged into his bone. Yang Shi felt his pain increased by Ten Times.

    " ARRRRRRGH." Yang Shi howled in pain as the golden liquid shing against his bone. It pierced into his bone and crushed it. Then the liquid slowly gathered and repaired his bone. Then it shattered again. Moreover, Yang Shi felt his body was heating up like he is sitting next to the sun itself.

    Surprisingly, He saw there was a ck, smoky object in his body. " Huh? Isn''t it the same thing as Yin Luo''s c Dragon Spear? What is it doing here?" Yang Shi astonished as he saw it was burning under the power of the golden skeleton.

    " HOT! IT''S HOT. ARRRRRRRRGH." Yang Shi felt he would lose his consciousness, But The stark pain kept him conscious. Unknown to him, The crimson lily appeared beneath him. From far, He looked like a statue sitting on the crimson lily in the pond.

    As time passed, His pain lessened bit by bit. He saw that the golden liquid has sessfully entered in his bone.

    " Fuck, I never expected it. This is fucking different from what the book has written. Which motherfucker made such a mistake? Yang Shi cursed in his mind. He felt like he came back from hell.

    " HMM?!!!" Yang Shi opened his eyes and felt a new problem. He couldn''t move even an inch. He felt like his body was set with cement. Yang Shi channeled his Internal Energy.

    A crystal like cracking sound came from his bone. Yang Shi looked and saw His bone was shedding!

    It was like a white paper is being peeled out of his bone. Inside it was the golden skeleton. The cracking sound became continuous, like a melody.

    Now, Yang Shi couldn''t feel a shred of pain. He finally stood up. He let out a roar as he punched the air.

    *BOOM* A with a loud sound, The air trembled fiercely around Yang Shi. Yang Shi could feel the vitality of his bones. He truly felt the feeling of ttening Mountain and Flipping the Sea with a raise of a hand.

    He was taken aback as he saw the pond has driedpletely. It looked like and of drought, dry and cracked.

    " Eh? It was done by me?" Yang Shi scratched his head.

    " Congrattions. You have obtained Nine Saints Extreme Yang Physique." A voice rang in Yang Shi''s head.

 Chapter 70: The Price of a girl

    Chapter 70: The Price of a girl

    " Interesting. I thought you would take eight months more to awake the Nine Saints Extreme Yang physique. But It seems you are quite daring to take such shortcuts." Samsara Emperorughed.

    " Bruh, It''s just that I am a cultivation genius." Yang Shi rubbed his nose.

    " Really? I doubt it." Samsara Emperor snickered. " Anyway, You have awakened a special physique, So I must tell you something about it."

    " Nine Saints Extreme Yang physique is the most powerful Yang type physique. You would be able to control celestial energies like Yin and Yang with the flip of your palm." Samsara Emperor borated.

    " I see." Yang Shi said. He understands the meaning of controlling Yin and Yang.

    " You might think about choosing a cultivation technique from my memory. But, You should wait till you reach Wisdom Awakening realm." Samsara Emperor said.

    " Ok. Thanks for your guidance." Yang Shi thanked Samsara Emperor.

    " Hahaha. I can see that your cocky attitude has changed a bit. Well, As your cultivation increases, There will be fewer chances for us to interact. So, I can only help you until the peak of the Violet Pce Expansion realm." Samsara Emperorughed.

    " Well, I have your memory. So, I don''t think I will have any problem in the future." Yang Shi scratched his head.

    " Well, You didn''t fully assimte my memory. There are things you don''t know. Like the golden egg in your Dantian or the wisp of ck smoke." Samsara Emperor said.

    " Huh? Do you know anything about the damned golden egg?" Yang Shi asked.

    " I won''t tell you anything. But believe me, Inside it has a good thing. Or should I say- Beautiful?" Samsara Emperorughed.

    " Oh yes. The ck smoke is actually a soul seed. I think someone created this soul seed to transform into a treasure spirit. But, That person was very cunning. He also attached a tracking talisman on this." Samsara Emperor said.

    " WHAT?" Yang Shi''s eyes went wide. " Fuck, Could it be that someone from Demonic Sound Sect is tracking me?" Yang Shi suddenly felt a huge headache.

    " Well, Don''t worry, as you have a piece of good news. The awakening of your physique has destroyed the tracking talisman and almost purified the soul seed. So, The soul seed merged with your soul to escape."

    " WHAT?" Yang Shi screamed again. " How could it be good news? You are saying an evil soul seed has merged in my soul?" Yang Shi raged.

    " Don''t worry. Actually, it''s beneficial for you as it will increase your soul power. You will understand when you will reach the Violet Pce Expansion realm or Wisdom Awakening realm." Samsara Emperor said. " But, there is a side effect. Your evilness might increase if you don''t control your mind." Samsara Emperorughed.

    " If you are saying... Being evil isn''t bad, though." Yang Shiughed. Well, He had wiped out an entire n. There is nothing evil in this world if you have power.

    " Good. That''s the spirit. Alright, I will go now." Samsara Emperor left afterward.

    Yang Shi saw he waspletely naked, So he quickly took out a white robe from his spatial ring and wore it. Then he took out a carriage from his spatial ring. He packed three sacks in it. If someone else was here, they would have been scared. The sacks were wriggling. Some faint traces of red liquid could be seen on it.

    " Damn, I have to find some Ferocious beasts for my carriage." Yang Shi thought as he went to the Leaping Carp City''s horse stable.

    ..............................................

    || Firmament City ||

    Two guards are guarding the city gates. They have impressive strength of the Third Stage of Primordial Spirit Realm. They wore a silver colored te armor, Truly looked like the protector of the city.

    They saw a white robed young man was driving a carriage. The carriage was pulled by the three-horned stallions, Which is one of the fastest ferocious beasts. They were hard to tame and very expensive.

    " Kekeke, It seems a fat sheep ising." One of the guardsughed wickedly as he saw the young man approaching.

    " HALT!" The guard shouted at the white robed young man.

    " Don''t you know? You need an entry pass for your carriage. Do you have it?" The guard coldly asked.

    " Entry Pass? Was there such a rule before?" The white-clothed young man became confused.

    " What? You don''t have? Come with me to the city jail." The guard asked coldly.

    " Please, Big brother. Don''t be hasty. I think this mater is not that big. Here, Somepensation." The white robed young man scared as he hurriedly tried to coup with the matter.

    " Hmm, It seems you are sensible. Now hurry..." As the guard was saying, he suddenly froze.

    He saw that the young man was giving him a pouch as he was smiling. But the guard felt he has fallen in an icy pit. He felt this youth''s smile was more dreadful than a devil. He could smell the stench of blood like this youth had ughtered countless beings.

    " Who is this person? Why am I getting such a feeling?" He felt he might be mad under this pressure. " Fuck, This is Killing Intent." The guard almost dropped on his knees.

    " Big brother? Are you all right?" The white robed young man asked worriedly. " Old Xin, What happened?" His fellow soldiers also asked him. The guard named Old Xin''s face almost turned white, without any color.

    " I... I am sorry. You can pass." The guard said with a trembling voice.

    " Ok." The white robed young man smirked as he drove his carriage in. " Aura of ughter is indeed powerful." He muttered.

    The white robed young man was no other than Yang Shi. He just used the Aura of ughter on the guard named Old Xin.

    Yang Shi entered the Gold and Jade Inn. He had a Sky tier room there, So he didn''t return to the Mo family immediately. He threw three sacks in his room. One out of the sacks wriggled fiercely. Yang Shi kicked it. It sounded like a bone had cracked.

    " Good, Now stay like this till Ie back." Yang Shi said as he left. He went towards the Hundred Flowers Lake. Yang Shi casually walked, like an ordinary mortal.

    " Hmm, Why am I doing so much for Bai Ruxue?" A thought struck him.

    " Well, I am an Assassin, after all. She gave herself to me in exchange for Killing the Mei n. So, I guess, Nothing is weird." Yang Shi mused.

    " Another Thing, She believed in me, So, How could I refuse a beautiful woman? She also has a powerful physique. Perfect for cultivation." Yang Shi thought.

    " I will give her a huge surprise." Yang Shiughed as he sped up.

    ............................................

    " What you wish to meet the master of Hundred Flower Lake? Young Master Yang, I think, It''s impossible." Miss Shan denied immediately.

    " Why? I wish to talk with him. I don''t care about money. Take how much you want to." Yang Shi said.

    " Young Master Yang, It''s not a matter about money. It''s just...Why don''t you tell me? Perhaps, I can help you." Sister Shan said.

    " Well. It''s simple. I want to take Bai Ruxue with me." Yang Shi straightly said.

    " WHAT?" Miss Shan was surprised. Then she shook her head and said, " Young Master Yang, You can''t simply buy any girl from here. I think you know the rules."

    " What if she agrees? I don''t think Ruxue will deny my proposal." Yang Shi said.

    " Even she agrees, She still can''t leave." Miss Shan shook her head again.

    " What? I don''t think You brought Ruxue from some bandits for more than a few hundred thousand gold coins. I am willing to give you a double amount." Yang Shi said.

    " Young Man, Rules are different here. You can''t take away Ruxue, No matter what." An olddy came out and said to Yang Shi.

    " What if the Master of This ce agree?" Yang Shi asked.

    " This..." The olddy couldn''t answer.

    " See? That''s Why I wanted to meet him. So, Where is he?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " You are quite persistent. I will go and see If she is willing to talk with you." The olddy left with a light sigh.

    After some time, A green dressed girl came and greeted Yang Shi. " Young Master Yang, Please This way." Yang Shi followed her into a ce.

    A calm and misty area appeared in front of Yang Shi. He could smell the natural scent of various flowers. It was ake in front of him. On the shore, a girl wore a noble dress sat on a chair, holding a paper fan.

    " I never thought the manager of this ce would be one of Three beautiful Princes of Hundred Flower Pavilion." Yang Shi sighed. He was very astonished to see this girl. Not only her beauty is peerless, but Her cultivation is simr to Mo Yi''s father.

    " Interesting. How did you guess I am one of the three princes?" The beautifuldy smiled as she looked at Yang Shi.

 Chapter 71: The Intelligent Princess

    Chapter 71: The Intelligent Princess

    " Well, The Intelligent Princess always has been shrouded in mystery. Not only her beauty is unrivaled, but her intelligence is also high. And the main thing, She loved to hold a paper fan which has the painting of falling leaves." Yang Shi smiled as he borated. He sat on the chair, looking at thedy.

    " Young Master Yang is sure to have a lot of information about Hundred Flowers Lake. Perhaps, You are a regr visitor." The beautifuldy smiled.

    She wore a noble blue robe, embedded with yellow flowers. She wore a purple veil, But her beauty couldn''t be hidden by this. Yang Shi had to admit that Thisdy was indeed too charming. Her noble appearance can imprint in anyone''s mind.

    " Well, It''s not like that. It''s my friend, Mo Yi, Who told me about this." Yang Shi shook his head.

    " This means our you don''t like our Hundred Flower Lake much?" The beautifuldy made an expression of worry.

    " NO NO, it''s not like that. I mean... He is an expert in these kinds of stuff. Hundred Flower Lake is worthy of its reputation." Yang Shi hurriedly said.

    " Hahaha, Young Master Yang is really funny. I understand your goal foring here. But as Sister Shan has told you, We can''t release Miss Ruxue." The beautifuldy shook her head.

    " Just Why? How much can gold buy her freedom?" Yang Shi asked with frustration.

    " Young Master Yang, Look at this ce again. Do you think we have anyck of gold here?" Beautifuldy said with a light tone.

    " Fuck, That''s right." Yang Shi massaged his be. Just think, Mo Yi had to spend 200k gold coins here. There are countless rich noblee and go here every day. Hundred Flower Pavilioncks anything to expect money.

    " Not to mention, Miss Ruxue could be the fourth Princess, Same as us. So, I don''t think there is any room for negotiation here." The beautifuldy almost got up.

    " Wait." Yang Shi called out. Thedy stopped and looked at Yang Shi.

    " Gold might be not enough. But it doesn''t mean I don''t have anything." Yang Shi called out. " And I think second princes might be interested in my proposal." Yang Shi added.

    " I wish to hear. I wonder what is Young Master Yang''s n?" Thedy stopped and looked at Yang Shi.

    " Let me ask you a question. Would you like to invest all the resources in one person to increase his strength, or Would you like to have a healthy growth of all your members?" Yang Shi asked.

    Thedy came back and sat on the chair. She thought for a moment and said, " I would choose the second option."

    " Hahaha, I knew it. Let me ask you again, What''s the two things Hundred Flower Lakes needs must?" Yang Shi smiled as he asked again.

    " It''s beauty and the customer." Thedy nodded as she said.

    " What if they both increase tremendously?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " This..." The beautifuldy halted. Her eyes shone with an unusual light, but she soon adjusted her posture.

    " I can''t understand What''s young noble is trying to say." Thedy shook her head.

    " You must have heard about beautification pills?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Yes, There are such pills." Thedy nodded.

    " Then, Have you heard about the Yin Enchantment pill?" Yang Shi said with a smile.

    " What?" This time the facial expression of thedy became unstable.

    " Indeed. The Yin Enchantment Pill is one of the top grade beautifying pill. Not only itsts more than ordinary pills, but nourishes the Yin element of women." Yang Shi borated.

    " Yes, I have heard of this pill. But, Isn''t the pill recipe has been long lost? The current pills are only derivated from the iplete pill recipe." The beautifuldy said with a surprised tone.

    " What if I say, I have the full recipe?" Yang Shi beamed.

    " Then, I might think about it." Thedy didn''t clearly believe Yang Shi.

    " Well, I know you wouldn''t believe me. Not only I have the recipe for Yin Enchantment Pill, But I have something extra also." Yang Shi said.

    " What else you have?" Thedy didn''t expect that Yang Shi has something more.

    " Well, Since There is Yin Enchantment Pill for women, I have an elixir called Sublime Yang Elixir. It can boost the Yang of men for a short period of time."

    " It''s two times more effective than an aphrodisiac, and side effects are less than half. I am sure the customers of Hundred Flower Lake will definitely like it." Yang Shi smiled.

    " This... If What young noble Yang saying is true, I will definitely release Miss Ruxue."

    " Then, Can I have a paper and pen?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Ah Luan, Bring What young noble is requesting." The beautifuldy ordered. Soon, A beautiful servant came with a pen and paper. Yang Shi''s eyes squinted after he looked at her.

    " Even a servent''s cultivation is the Fifth Stage of Primordial Spirit Realm. This Second Princess must have a hidden power as a backer." Yang Shi thought.

    Yang Shi wrote the pill ingredients and the refining method quickly, then handed it to thedy. Thedy looked at it.

    " I see. But, Isn''t Young Noble is afraid?" She asked with a smile.

    " Afraid that you will betray me?" Yang Shipleted her. Thedy only smiled but didn''t say anything.

    " Well, I have exchanged some pill ingredients so the potency will decrease. When you free Ruxue, I will give you thepleted version. But, I have a bottle of Sublime Yang Elixir now. It''s enough for four people. I can give you now for free." Yang Shi took out a bottle, filled with an olive colored liquid.

    It is the same elixir that Yang Shi used to cure Mo Yi. He made a lot back then, So after Mo Yi used that, Yang Shi had some leftover.

    " Ah Luan, Bring some Tea for our guest." Thedy ordered again.

    " Ah, thanks, But some other day. I have to go now. Don''t tell Ruxue that I came here." Yang Shi got up.

    " Young Master Yang, I have one more question. Why are you doing so much for her?" Thedy asked after thinking a while.

    " Well... It''s just a girl I fancy. And The Thing I fancy is a thing I must get." Yang Shiughed as he left.

    The seven named Ah Luan came back and served the tea to thedy. After taking a sip, She said, " Just how long are you going to eavesdrop?"

    " Tehehehe, Big Sister knows me best." From the mist, a girl appeared. She wore a beautiful floral dress. If the Second Princess looked calm and noble, then this girl is charming and yful.

    " So? What do you think about him?" The Second Princess asked.

    " I can only think about his Yang energy. It was just too pure. Every inch of his body is oozing out extreme Yang energy." The floral girl smacked her lips.

    *Sigh* " You are the same as always. I wonder What he said is true? This Bai Ruxue is very lucky." The second princess sighed as she looked at the bottle of Sublime Yang Elixir.

    " I bet, He can''t resist my charm. I will see him when He wille next time." The floral girlughed mischievously.

    ..........................................

    " Damn, What a cunning witch." Yang Shi muttered as he came back from Hundred Flower Lake. Suddenly, He stopped as he saw a familiar figure.

    " Little Jin? Why are you here?" Yang Shi asked in a surprise. Little Jin was one of the twockeys of Mo Yi.

    " Ah, Young Master Yang. Here you are. Young Master Mo Yi is trying to find you from yesterday." Little Jin''s eye shone as he saw Yang Shi.

    " Mo Yi wants to meet me? But Why?" Yang Shi asked.

    " I don''t know. But I think its really urgent." Little Jin said.

    " Ok, I will go." Yang Shi nodded as he followed Little Jin.

    ............................................

    " Ah, Brother Yang! Where have you been?" Mo Yi asked as he saw Yang Shi.

    " Brother Mo, What''s the matter?" Yang Shi asked Mo Yi.

    " Matter? It''s a huge matter. This evening, We will enter our ancestral tomb for the blessing." Mo Yi said with an excited tone.

    " WE? Isn''t only the members of the Mo family can enter the Ancestral tomb? Why me?" Yang Shi''s facial expression changed as he hastily said.

    " Well, True though, but the spot of Mo Feng is empty. My Old man has decided to give you that spot." Mo Yiughed.

    " But What about the treasures and inheritance there?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " Brother Yang, Even you use your full force, You won''t be able to take them. Most of the treasures there have bloodline restriction. This means only a member of the Mo n can gain them. Of course, there also other treasures that you can get. So, Are you ready?" Mo Yi punched the shoulders of Yang Shi.

    " Sure." Yang Shiughed.

 Chapter 72: Ancestral Grounds

    Chapter 72: Ancestral Grounds

    Ancestral grounds are the core of every Sects and n. The Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom has a history of tens of thousands of years. There are many figures, Who transcended beyond Nirvana Realm. They made their own ns and sects, Hoping their teachings and bloodline shall continue.

    Once a cultivator reaches Origin Core Realm, They would able to understand the heavenlyws which grant them unimaginable powers. In that stage, They can pass down their ability andprehension of heavenlyws through their bloodline.

    A powerful bloodline means, The descendent''s cultivation talent will soar. For example, if the progenitorprehended thews of Fire, Then the descendants will have a natural affinity towards the fire. Moreover, The descendent might even gain the Primordial Spirit of their ancestor.

    The stronger the bloodline, The powerful the descendent will be. So basically, It''s a cheat for powerful n''s young masters and misses. Where an ordinary cultivator struggles to advance forward, These youngsters can just easily cultivate, thanks to their bloodline.

    Ancestral grouds are the ce, Where the powerful ancestors store their ultimate inheritance, hoping one of their talented descendent may gain it.

    The time came near. Nine young men of the Mo n stood in the main courtyard, along with Yang Shi. Yang Shi saw the solemn face of Mo Yi. His eyes were both confused and determined.

    " As you know. Once in every five years, The ancestral ground opens. It''s the chance for all of you, To gain the treasures and the techniques of our ancestors. You also have the chance to get the blessing of our progenitor and acquire the Primordial Spirit- The Crimson ze Stallion, An Imperial spirit." The Patriarch of Mo n dered.

    " You will only have two days. If you get trapped there, Then you have to wait for another five years to get out of there. Are you ready?" The patriarch shouted.

    " YES!!!" Every young man of Mo Family shouted.

    " Disperse." The patriarch ordered. Then he slowly walked towards Mo Yi. Mo Yi tried to look away, But the patriarch smiled as he patted on his head.

    " Don''t look down on me old man. I will definitely bring the Baleful Wind Flower." Mo Yi said.

    " Silly brat, Don''t be stressed. Give your everything to gain the inheritance of our ancestor." Patriarch Mo Shanughed.

    Then he went to an altar and put a strange rune at the center of it. Suddenly pirs of light soared to the sky, opening a doorway in the altar.

    A wave of pure spiritual qi gushed out, pressuring everyone in the courtyard. Other than the elders and Yang Shi, almost everyone felt that they were under a mountain. Even Mo Yi couldn''t help but sweat a bit. Mo Shan looked at the calmposure of Yang Shi and secretly approved.

    " Not Bad, That kid Yang Shi has a physique like a tiger and vital like a dragon. My useless son really made some good friends." Mo Shan thought.

    " Enter! The pure spiritual Qi will greatly beneficial to you." Mo Shan shouted. All the ten participants, including Yang Shi, entered the passage. The pressure and spiritual qi grew denser after the gates closed.

    They arrived in catbs. In front of them were many tunnels. Mo Yi pointed in one direction and said, " That''s the way of ancestral hall, Let''s go there to worship our ancestor."

    Yang Shi followed Mo Yi and reached in a giant hallway. Yang Shi saw seven giant statues over there. As Yang Shi was looking at them, He suddenly felt tremendous pressure.

    " This power... It''sing from the statues. Fuck, I think these old foggies are more powerful than Violet Pce Expansion Realm." Yang Shi muttered. Mo Yi and several others sat in front of the statues.

    Yang Shi could see a strange rune appeared on the forehead of the Mo n''s youngsters. Everyone''s rune was in faint orange color, except Mo Yi.

    " Ah, That''s the bloodline of Mo n. The brighter the rune, The pure the bloodline will be." Yang Shi enlightened. He saw the rune of Mo Yi is brighter than everyone. It almost turned golden.

    " Perhaps, I could also try?" Yang Shi closed his eyes and tried to resonance with the aura of the statue. Suddenly, Yang Shi felt a strange sensation from the statues.

    The statues began to tremble as a golden light shone on Yang Shi. Yang Shi could feel a summoning call from the statue.

    " What The Fuck? How can the ancestral power of the Mo n resonate with my bloodline?" Yang Shi astonished as the aura entered his body. He felt a vast ocean is in pouring inside his body. Soon Yang Shi saw that a rune condensed on his palms. It was the same rune as the forehead on Mo n''s descendent.

    He could feel the surging vitality from it. Yang Shi could also feel a faint presence in it. It''s like a spirit within it.

    " Damn, It''s the bloodline seal of Mo n''s ancestor. They contained thew of heavens in their statues. It didn''t appear for any of Mo n''s descendent, But it appeared for me. Hmm... If I absorb it, Not only I will gain the pure bloodline of the Mo n, But Also the primordial Spirit - Crimson ze Stallion. But, Do I need that?" Yang Shi questioned himself.

    " Hmm, Rather than absorbing it, I will give this chance to Mo Yi." Yang Shi thought as he pressed the rune on Mo Yi''s forehead.

    Suddenly, Mo Yi gritted his teeth as he vomited a mouthful of blood. Yang Shi hurriedly said, " Brother Mo Yi, Endure this. A great fortune has arrived for you."

    " Arrgh" Mo Yi roared as the rune on Yang Shi''s palm slowly merged with the rune on Mo Yi''s forehead. The rune brightened on his forehead.

    Till now most of the Mo n''s youngmen had opened their eyes. They were frightened to saw Yang Shi pressing his palm on Mo Yi''s forehead.

    " Wha- What are you doing to your young master?" One of them shrieked.

    " Don''t worry. He is alright. I am just lending him a hand." yang Shi said as he focused on Mo Yi. Suddenly, The statue of the ancestors of the Mo n lit up, and a terrifying pressure made all the Mo n''s youngsters kneel on the ground.

    " Ancestor." One of the young men knelt and shouted. Simr to him, Everyone prostrated before the statues. Mo Yi opened his eyes and let out a roar. The rune on his forehead lit up as a phantom appeared behind him.

    Its hair flowed like a dancing me. With a crimson eye and two golden antlers, The phantom neighed.

    " Heavens, Th-That''s our ancestor''s Primordial Spirit- The Crimson ze Stallion. Our Young master did it." The youngsters of Mo n danced with joy.

    Even Mo Yi couldn''t help but cry. Then he saw Yang Shi standing in front of him, with a smiling face.

    " Brother Yang, I will remember your favor until my death." Mo Yi said with a solemn face.

    " Brother Mo Yi, You are shaming me. How there can be any favors between brothers." Yang Shiughed as he softly pped on Mo Yi''s shoulder.

    Everyone in that ceughed with happiness.

 Chapter 73: Baleful Wind Flower

    Chapter 73: Baleful Wind Flower

    " Brother Yang''s talent is truly heavenly. Your aura actually resonated with our ancestor''s statue." Mo Yi said with wonder.

    " Perhaps it''s a bit of my luck? Who knows?" Yang Shi shrugged as he brushed aside the question.

    " Right, How much time has passed?" Mo Yi suddenly asked.

    " Second Young Master Mo, I think A day and a half have been passed by now." One of the Mo n''s youngster said.

    " What! So much time has passed? Damn, I still have to find the Baleful Wind Flower." Mo Yi pped his thigh.

    " Why you want to find a Baleful Wind Flower? It''s a very rare nt." Yang Shi asked with a bit of astonishment.

    " Well, Since Its brother Yang Shi, I won''t keep any secrets. You have met my father, right? A few years ago, Someone tried to Assassinate him. My old man killed that person but he also got affected by a deadly poison. That poison''s cure is the Baleful Wind Flower. But no matter what we did, We couldn''t find it." Mo Yi said with sadness.

    " Indeed. Baleful Wind Flowers needs a ce with a mixture of Baleful Qi and Yin Qi. Those ces are quite hard to find. Right, This ce may contain a Baleful Wind Flower." Yang Shi was enlightened.

    " Brother Yang is wise. Old man''s health is out of danger, But his cultivation base is suppressed by the poison. If we can''t find that, His cultivation might be crippled permanently." Mo Yi said.

    " Well, Since That''s the case, let''s go." Yang Shi agreed as they went to explore deep into the Ancestral grounds.

    " Hmm, These patterns..." Yang Shi activated his Godly vision as he looked at a wall. Mo Yi also stopped, seeing Yang Shi''s weird action.

    " I think there might be a secret door behind the walls." Yang Shi spoke after some time.

    " A secret door?" Mo Yi became excited. Perhaps there are treasures inside it.

    " Hm... Ah, this is the button." Yang Shi pushed a brick. With a rumbling sound, The wall in front of him crumbled as a passage appeared.

    " HEAVENS..." Mo Yi couldn''t help but scream. Inside the room was a golden sword. One could see the runes on the de. From a nce, One could tell that this sword is an extraordinary treasure. Around the sword was a yellow barrier.

    " Th-That''s Sky Incineration Sword. Damn, That''s a True rank weapon." Mo Yi yelled. Then he looked at Yang Shi and said, " Brother Yang, Since you found it, It belongs to you."

    " Well, It''s your n treasure. How can you give it to me so casually?" Yang Shi asked with a surprise.

    " Well, You have helped me to awake my bloodline, So it''s natural that I want to give it to you."

    " Ahahaha, Brother Mo Yi, You are quite silly. Can you see the barrier? Only the blood of Mo n can open it." Yang Shi said with a light tone.

    " This... Brother Yang, You are really crushing me under your gratitude. Just... Can''t you take just one treasure from here?" Mo Yi sighed.

    " Why not? If a treasure suits me, I will definitely take that." Yang Shi hurriedly said.

    Mo Yi nodded as he bit his finger and dripped his blood on the barrier. The sword suddenly vanished from its position and appeared on Mo Yi''s palm. Mo Yi did a swing and shed the nearby rock cleanly.

    " Truly sharp." Mo Yi couldn''t help but be amazed. Yang Shi looked at his Heaven Cmity Saber and sighed.

    " Nevermind. Soon, You will also be a True rank treasure." Yang Shi muttered.

    " Let me try to sense the area with the most Yin energy." Yang Shi said as an azure lotus appeared behind him. His purple eyes became azure as he looked around. This Azure lotus is very sensitive toward Yin energy. With this, Yang Shi was able to find the ces where Yin energy gathers the most.

    " Yes, That way." Yang Shi suddenly went towards the northern direction. He reached there and saw a gravestone.

    " Brother Yang, this..." Mo Yi also reached there.

    " We have to dig the grave." Yang Shi said.

    " What? But brother Yang, This is my ancestor''s grave. How..." Mo Yi hesitated a bit.

    " Brother Mo, They are dead, But your father isn''t. This ce is a treasure horde. I think this ce has the highest chances to have the Baleful Wind Flower." Yang Shi said with a solemn tone.

    "... Damn Ancestor, I mean, Forgive me, Ancestor. Brother Yang, Let me do it." Mo Yi took a deep breath. He drew his Sky Incineration Sword and hacked on the ground.

    *BOOM* The dirt flew as a smooth, stone surface appeared beneath it. Mo Yi easily cut it with his True rank sword. Suddenly, A ck qi gushed out.

    *Cough Cough* Mo Yi started coughing as he inhaled some ck Qi.

    " Brother Mo, Get back. It is the Baleful Yin Qi. If you inhale too much of it, You might get sick." Yang Shi pulled back Mo Yi.

    " Th-THERE IT IS." Mo Yi roared as he rushed forward and picked a flower. Its petal was ink ck with thorny leaves. It''s the Baleful Wind Flower.

    " AHAHAHAHA, I AM SO HAPPY. FINALLY, WE GOT IT. Brother Yang, You don''t know. My elder brother and I did everything to locate this flower. The main Mo n fliped the world to find this herb. But because of You, We got it today." Mo Yi became emotional.

    " Hahahaha, It''s not only you who gained. Look, What''s beneath it?" Yang Shiughed as he pointed at the gravestone. He stomped the grave again, making the ground tremble.

    The ce Mo Yi and Yang Shi were standing, suddenly crumbled, making them fall below.

    Yang Shi quickly got up and looked ahead. His eyes started to gleam as he saw the thing in front of him.

    " Fuck, It''s a forging table. A top grade forging table." Yang Shi screamed as he saw an ancient table. It was a giant table, divided into many sections. Various tools were lying on it along with a blue colored hammer.

    Even though it was sealed here from countless years, It was still dustless, like band new table.

 Chapter 74: The Golden Egg spoke!

    Chapter 74: The Golden Egg spoke!

    A forging table is the most important thing for a cksmith. Consider it as the lifeline of a cksmith. As its name implies, This is for crafting weapons.

    The forging table has a small reaction furnace to smelt ores and metals. There is some space, To hammer and shape the smelted ores. Judging from the quality, This forging table can even craft True rank weapons.

    The main difference between a Spirit Grade weapon and a True grade weapon is the Treasure spirit. One can infuse spiritual Qi into it, which greatly increases the weapon''s prowess.

    But a True grade weapon is different. It can react to its master''smand And produce mysterious effects. The reason True grade weapons are rare, Because of the runes on it. Runes are a kind of formation on a much smaller scale. A cksmith might craft a True grade weapon, But without these runes, They won''t be called True grade weapons.

    Only Rune masters could engrave runes on the weapon. That''s the reason, Every cksmith is a rune master, But each rune master isn''t a cksmith.

    Runes have a huge effect on the weapon. It keeps the treasure spirit safe. Using spiritual energy to activate the runes can create a special effect like an overpowered attack or a defensive barrier.

    Although it''s said that one can only start Alchemy of cksmithing at Violet Sea Expansion Realm, It''s not an iron d rule. But to be a Rune master is difficult. One needs to use their soul force to engrave runes. Controlling soul power is very difficult for the cultivators of the Primordial Spirit Realm. Of course, If one had a corresponding Primordial Spirit or a technique regarding soul power. They can be a Rune master.

    " Damn, To think, I actually forgot the reason Why I came to the Firmament city. I came to be a cksmith." Yang Shi quickly took the forging table into his spatial ring.

    " Eh? I thought it''s some powerful treasure. Brother Yang, Aren''t you an alchemist?" Mo Yi asked with confusion.

    " Alchemist?" Yang Shi''s face turned odd, But then, He is the one who prepared the Sublime Yang Elixir for Mo Yi, so one would naturally think that Yang Shi is an alchemist.

    " Ahem. Well, Brother Mo... Alchemist is just my hobby. I want to be an alchemist." Yang Shi said while scratching his head.

    "... Alchemist as a hobby, huh." Mo Yi absent mindedly said.

    " Ah, We should hurry. I don''t think there is much time left." Yang Shi reminded Mo Yi.

    " I think there is an hour left. Why not go back and light an incense stick for our ancestors?" Mo Yi said.

    " Since you say. Let''s go." Yang Shi said. He really doesn''t need to burn an incense stick for the Mo n''s ancestor.

    They went back to the statutes to burn some incense sticks. There was nobody else, as others went to explore the ancestral grounds for fortune.

    Yang Shi was familiar with this ce as he came here first. He roamed around aimlessly. Suddenly, he saw something that looked like a token on the foot of one statue.

    " Hmm? It looks familiar?" Yang Shi thought. He called Mo Yi and showed him that token.

    " This... I saw such a painting inside Mo Feng''s storage pouch." Mo Yi was surprised as he said.

    " Ah... Right. Yin Luo. I also saw a map with this token''s drawing. I thought its something useful, but I couldn''t find anything special. To think, He must be asked Mo Feng about this token." Yang Shi said with a deep tone.

    " Fuck, No wonder That bastard Mo Feng was getting so excited for the ancestral grounds." Mo Yi eximed.

    " Well, Since that''s the case, let us see its mystery." Yang Shi said as he tried to pull out the token.

    " RUMBLE* Yang Shi pulled out the token, but a rumbling sound started both him and Mo Yi. It sounded like a stone gate is opening.

    " Just what happened?" Mo Yi asked with a tinge of fright. He certainly doesn''t want a mess here.

    " Hmm, I don''t know. But everything is fine here." Yang Shi looked around and said. He was thinking, he felt a shiver in his body. He felt a summoning call from his Dantian.

    " Little bastard, So you are responding now." Yang Shi cursed in his mind now. It was the golden egg residing in his dantian. It wasid still forst month, doing nothing but absorbing his blood and Internal energy.

    But now, It was jumping indie his dantian, Like a child begging for a toy. Yang Shi didn''t give it any attention as he turned to leave.

    " N...No...Don...Don''t." A soft voice muttered in his mind. Yang Shi was surprised by the sudden development of the scene.

    " Hmph, Youss, You could talk now, huh." Yang Shi smirked. It was a girl''s voice, So the creature inside the Golden Egg is a female. After thinking that, Yang Shi''s heart grew a bit soft.

    " Stupid Human...Get me that thing." The girl''s voice grew clearer. Yang Shi''s face grew dark after hearing this.

    " You dare to call me stupid? Then forget to get something from me." Yang Shi spoke in his mind.

    " You-You... YOU DON''T KNOW WHO I AM? I need that thing right now. Go, get that thing." The girl spoke firmly in her mind.

    " Girl, It seems you don''t understand how the world works. Just because you have an ancient beast bloodline, You can''t be cocky. I have dozens of methods to refine you and acquire your bloodline." Yang Shi coldly said. He doesn''t like it when someone orders him like a servant.

    " You..." The voice became silent, as thinking deeply. " Fine, Get me a thing here, And I will repay you in the future." The girl''s voice spoke.

    " Such promise doesn''t work here, Not to mention you in an egg form." Yang Shi mocked.

    " Hey, You will also get some part from it, ok?" The voice said impatiently.

    " Just what was it?" Yang Shi asked with curiosity.

    " First, Get that. I will exin it. I will tell you the way now. I am feeling it''s aura from the southern direction." The voice didn''t let Yang Shi talk as she hurriedly spoke.

    " Let''s see, What thing brought you out from silence." Yang Shi thought.

    " Brother Mo, Can I go to other parts of the ancestral ground?" Yang Shi asked Mo Yi.

    " Well, Yeh. There isn''t much danger around. Just don''t do anything to our ancestor''s statues or their resting ce." Mo Yi warned Yang Shi.

    " Sure, Why would I do that?" Yang Shiughed as he hastily left.

 Chapter 75: GIVE IT BACK!

    Chapter 75: GIVE IT BACK!

    Yang Shi followed way as the voice spoke. He knew some things about the golden egg. When he got the bloodline of the White Tiger, He felt a familiar presence inside the egg. Yang Shi confirmed that the egg hides a beast with an ancient bloodline.

    " You got a very sharp sense, ain''t you?" Yang Shi spoke in his mind. He found out that he and the egg canmunicate through his mind.

    " Hmph, I am a supreme being. I have a natural affinity with it. It''s natural that I can sense it from far." The girl spoke proudly.

    " Supreme being? Oh please. You didn''t sense it until I pulled out the token." Yang Shi rebuked.

    " Hmph." The girl snorted but didn''t say anything.

    " Huh? Are you sure we are going in the right way? Cause it''s a dead end." Yang Shi spoke in his mind as he reached a dead end.

    " No, It shouldn''t be. It''s just behind the walls. I can feel it. Break the wall." The voice of the girl urged.

    " Use your brain a bit. This wall is so hard that even a Violet Pce realm expert can''t make a scratch. How the hell can I do it?" Yang Shi raged in his mind.

    " Fuck, I really need that. Hmm... Young master Yang... Please think of a way to get it. I really need that." The voice suddenly changed it''s tone and asked Yang Shi with an alluring voice.

    " Girl, Don''t try to seduce me." But Yang Shi had to admit that the voice has the charm to capture men''s hearts.

    " Hmm, there should be a way here. Where is it?" Yang Shi used his Godly vision to look at the walls. Even after ten minutes, He couldn''t find anything.

    " Just What is it? And where?" Yang Shi thought. " Eh?" Yang Shi suddenly looked below his feet. He saw the tiles on the grounds are a bit strange. Yang Shi quickly swept his feet on ground to remove dirt on the tiles.

    " Perhaps, The path is under the ground." Yang Shi suddenly pushed a brick with his foot.

    *RUMBLE* With a loud sound, A sinkhole appeared on the ground. Yang Shi didn''t hesitate and jumped in it. He moved forward in the tunnel and saw the other end.

    " Huh? What''s this ce?" Yang Shi arrived in a small room. Inside it was a stone coffin. Yang Shi was sure that this coffin isn''t any ordinary. He could feel a tinge of fear while looking at it.

    " The thing you are trying to find, it''s not inside the coffin, is it?" Yang Shi asked with doubt.

    " Rest assured, It''s not. Look at the pir behind the coffin. Do you see a silver orb? That''s it." The voice spoke with happiness.

    " Just tell me already. What''s this?" Yang Shi pulled out the silver orb, but suddenly a blinding golden light shone around him and the orb vanished from his palms.

    " Yay. I never thought I would get Liquid Silver Mirthil with the size of an apple." The girl''s voice cheered in his mind.

    " WHAT? THAT WAS LIQUID SILVER MIRTHIL?" Yang Shi felt a bomb exploded in his mind. " FUCK, GIVE IT BACK TO ME. GIVE IT BACK." Yang Shi screamed like a madman. Liquid silver Mirthil is one of the top grade rare ores. It is used to forge True grade or even higher Earth Rank weapons.

    With such size of Liquid silver Mirthil, One could forge a full body armor, which can even resist True rank weapons. Yang Shi definitely won''t hand it to someone else.

    " What? Why would I give it to you?" The girl''s voice angrily asked. " It''s very important to me. I can''t give it to you." The girl''s voice refused.

    " Damn, Do you even know, How much that worth? At least save a bit for me." Yang Shi pleaded.

    " Hmm... Since you have done so well, I will give you the Mirthil a size of a thumb." The girl said after thinking a while.

    Yang Shi''s body was shivering from anger. He felt it was he who is stupid. " Fuck, Fuck everything. Damn it." Yang Shi rained curses.

    " Why are you cursing me? You should be thankful for this magnanimousdy." The voice said with a bit of yfulness.

    Yang Shi took a few deep breaths to adjust his anger. Then he spoke, " You got what you want. Now, What''s my reward?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Reward? I told you, I will think about in the future." The girl said innocently.

    " Well, Well, It seems someone isn''t fulfilling their promise. Do you want some help?" A mocking voice said in Yang Shi''s mind.

    " Yes, I need help. So, Give me." Yang Shi didn''t beat the bush and said to Samsara Emperor.

    " Fine. Only this time. Remember, kid. I won''t be here every time to help you. Be self-reliant." Samsara Emperor said.

    " Now, About thisss... Do as I say." Samsara Emperor taught Yang Shi an incantation and a dozen of hand seals.

    " When I will active the golden rune inside your dantian, Do as I taught you." Samsara Emperor said.

    *BOOOM* The golden rune inside Yang Sh''s dantian shed as thin golden threads entered inside the golden egg.

    " Wh-what''s happening?" A frightened voice spoke in Yang Shi''s mind. Yang Shi didn''t mind it and made dozens of hand seals while chanting some incantation.

    " Lass, I am doing for your own good. I am putting a Human-Beast contract between you two. Be thankful to me as I didn''t make you his ve." Samsara Emperor said to the Golden Egg.

    " Who-Who are you? Why such a powerful person''s intent is attached to this boy''s mind?" The olden egg fearfully asked. She was afraid that Samsara Emperor might be an enemy.

    *Sigh* " It seems The Heavenly Roc n of Myriad Beast dimension really got in huge trouble." Samsara Emperor sighed.

    " Wh-Who are you?" This time, the egg''s voice became more fearful when Samsara Emperor casually revealed her origin.

    " I don''t mean any harm. I am... just a visitor. I hope you look after this boy." Samsara Emperor left after saying these words.

    " Just What..." The egg became speechless.

    " Ahahaha, Does that mean You are now my contracted beast?" Yang Shiughed at the golden egg.

    " Hmph, If it wasn''t for *that* existence, I would never have bowed to you." The egg snorted heavily.

    " Well, I think, I don''t need to wait for the future. Aren''t you from the Heavenly Roc n? Do you have the imperial bloodline or just an ordinary bloodline?" Yang Shi asked.

    Every beast carries the bloodline of their progenitor. Those, Who reached a higher level in cultivation, can purify their bloodline and achieve the same strength as their progenitor.

    But keeping the bloodline purity was difficult for the descendants. So most of them try to find apanion, Who has the same level of bloodline purity.

    For example - If a Dragon and a snake have an offspring, The descendent may have a trach of Dragon bloodline. But it will be far difficult for the offspring to awake his Dragon bloodline. The dragon bloodline was fused with the lowly snake bloodline, greatly decreasing its potency.

    But if a Dragon had an offspring with another Dragon, The child can awake his bloodline easily. He can be a genius from birth.

    For every race, The bloodline of Imperials was the purest bloodline. That''s why Yang Shi asked about it.

    " Who do you think I am? I am the Imperial Princes of Heavenly Roc n." The girl inside the golden egg said proudly.

    " Then, It''s even more good. Isn''t your Roc n is famous for its speed? I want to learn the Nine Roc Heaven Shifting Movement Technique." Yang Shi said with a smiling face.

 Chapter 76: Starlight Burst

    Chapter 76: Starlight Burst

    " WHAT? You want to learn Nine Roc Heaven Shifting Movement Technique! IMPOSSIBLE! Even members of the Imperial Roc n can''t get their hands on this supreme technique." The girl''s voice raged.

    " They might not, But, Aren''t you the Imperial Princes?" Yang Shi smirked.

    " Yo-You... Hmph, You are just daydreaming. I haven''t awakened my memory yet. I only know a part of the whole technique. And even if I gave you the whole technique, You won''t be able to use anyway." The girl''s voice said with smugness.

    " Bloodline Restriction, Isn''t it?" Yang Shi asked after thinking a while.

    " Yes. Those, Who doesn''t possess the Heavenly Roc bloodline, can''t learn this technique." The girl loudly said.

    " Well, If u gave me some of your Spirit blood, I certainly get Heavenly Roc bloodline." Yang Shi''s eyes shone with an evil light.

    " NOOOO. You bully...You pathetic bastard... Wuuuu." The golden egg cursed as she started to cry.

    " Fine fine, Little girl, Don''t cry. I only need one spoon of your Spirit Blood." Yang Shi tried to console her.

    " Go away, You beast." The girl cried more loudly after hearing Yang Shi.

    Spirit Blood of a beast is the most important thing to it. Their predecessor''s memories were locked inside, their Spirit Blood. As they reached higher realms and awake their bloodline, They gain memory of various cultivation techniques, Magical arts, and other things.

    " I can''t give you my Spirit Blood, no matter what." The voice refused straightly. But after some time, She said, " It''s not that I can''t give you, But it will be useless to you."

    " Why so?" Yang Shi asked with a curious voice.

    " My body is poisoned by a curse, Inflicted on me by my enemies." The girl''s voice became sadder.

    " What kind of curse?" Yang Shi asked. He was confident in Samsara Emperor''s memory. That old man lived for countless years, Learning everything.

    " I think it''s called- Sky Corroding Evil Immortal Curse." The voice said.

    " Puuuu..." Yang Shi almost spurts. " WHAT? Sky Corroding Evil Immortal Curse? Damn." Yang Shi cursed. This is one of the high level curses, Which can kill a person and inflict bad luck to their entire bloodline.

    " But luckily, My n''s ancestor saved me before the curse fully cast over me. So, Only a portion of the curse is on me." The voice said with a sad tone.

    " No wonder. To protect you, They sealed you inside the Meteor of Star Core Iron and brought away from your n." Yang Shi understood.

    " Yes. They also prepared all cultivation material inside the golden egg, But they underestimated the power of the remaining curse. I used almost all the resources just to fight back the evil curse." the voice said.

    " Then, Why didn''t you came out and founded the resource of your own?" Yang Shi asked.

    " The curse has a tracking ability. My n ancestor warned me not toe out of the golden egg until I reached the Demon King realm." The girl''s said.

    There are different cultivation systems for the beast. Demonic Beasts can rival Primordial Spirt Realm cultivators. After the demonic beast realmes the Ancient beast realm. They are simr to Violet Pce Expansion Realm experts.

    Demon King Realm is the Nirvana Realm of Demonic beasts. Ites after the Origin Core Realm.

    " I exhausted all of my resources and entered a deep slumber. But who had thought, That you will bring me three drops of True Vital blood?[ Incident from chapter 37] Although it was far from enough, It gave me a bit of strength." The girl chattered.

    " Then why did you devoured my blood and Internal Energy?" Yang Shi asked angrily.

    " Well, My body suffered from serious damage from the curse. I needed arge amount of blood to heal. Your blood was strange. I still remember its taste. Yummy." The girl said like she was drooling. Yang Shi wiped his sweat out of fear. His blood is being treated as a delicacy.

    " Your blood was miraculous. Not only it helped me to heal quickly, but It also helped me to cleanse my bloodline. My blood became purer than before. Then there is the strange energy inside your body, What you called - Internal Energy. That energy helped me to fight back the curse in body, and I reached the Rank of Ancient Beast from Demonic beast." The girl said happily.

    " So, You are watching me all the time, huh?" Yang Shi sighed.

    " Yep." The voice said like a girl won a conversation.

    " Since I gave you this much benefits and Liquid Silver Mirthil, I am eligible to get your Spirit Blood and Nine Roc Heaven Shifting Movement Technique." Yang Shi demanded.

    " Ugh. I can''t give you my spirit blood right now. Moreover, You know about this evil curse, right? If you try to devour my Spirit Blood, You also will be affected by this curse. It''s your choice now." the girl mocked.

    " They how the fuck YOU GONNA REPAY ME? I can''t wait till you reach the Demon King Realm." Yang Shi raged. The reason Yang Shi wanted this technique because This technique is one of the top grade movement technique in existence.

    Even Samsara Emperor regards it with high value. Sadly, His memory is fragmented, So Yang Shi could only know about this technique''s name and power.

    While fighting with Tang Zheng and Yin Luo, Yang Shi felt that his Myriad Ghost Steps is getting ineffective. Agility is only of the primary aspect that an Assassin requires. Bothe Tang Zheng and Yin Luo matched his speed. So Yang Shi currently needs a powerful movement technique.

    " Hmm, I can''t give you the Nine Roc Heaven Shifting Movement Technique, But I can give you another movement technique. And top of that, I can see your eyes have a special power. I can teach you an eye technique." The girl said after thining a while.

    " What are those?" Yang Shi asked with a sharp tone.

    " Tsk, Why are you behaving so strangely. Thisdy never goes back on her words." The voice snorted lightly.

    " This Technique is called- Starlight Burst. It''s short range, Burst movement technique. If you master itpletely, You will have the speed of teleportation in a small range. You can also use it for a longer time." The girl borated.

    " What''s it''s the grade?" Yan Shi asked.

    " Well, It''s an Earth grade technique." The girl''s voice said.

    " I thought its Heaven grade." Yang Shu muttered.

    " Hey! It''s not like I have learned every technique of my n. Most of my techniques are only useful to me. So be grateful to me." The girl berated.

    " Since you are saying this much... I will ept it." Yang Shi sighed like he is the one taking lose here.

    "...." The girl became speechless by Yang Shi''s shamelessness.

    "What about the Eye technique?" Yang Shi asked.

 Chapter 77: Roc clans technique

    Chapter 77: Roc n''s technique

    " Hmph, Look who is being greedy?" The girl snorted.

    " What greedy? You said you would give it to me? I am just asking?" Yang Shi shrugged.

    " Hmph, You are just shameless. Anyway, As you know, Our Roc n''s eyes are one of the sharpest eyes in the universe. The name of the technique is- Celestial View. See, The creation is filled with mysteriousness. For example - When You got my meteorite, You only able to see the Star Core Iron, Not the golden egg. And That''s because you used your innate Godly Vision to detect Star Core Iron."

    " Normal People wouldn''t have detected the Star Core Iron, Let alone the Golden Egg. The Celestial View technique willbine with Your Godly Vision to produce a marvelous effect." The girl''s voice exined.

    " Your Godly Vision just empowers your Mortal Vision. But if you use it with the Celestial View technique, You will be able to see What even a powerful cultivator might not able to. A simple paper may have hidden a treasure inscription. A harmless Fog might be a deadly gas. A broken sword might have contained the will of an Immortal.

    Combining your Godly Vision and Celestial View, You will able to see them without any problem." The girl finished her talking.

    " Well, Are you sure there won''t be any side effects of having both Godly Vision and Celestial View?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Uhh... Why are you being so sissy? Cultivators should be fearless." The voice snorted.

    " Yeh, You are right. There is nothing to be so afraid of." Yang Shi nodded.

    " Ok, Here is the incantation." The girls said.

    " No, Not now. Let''s get out of this ce." Yang Shi said as he returned to to the entrance.

    " Here you are, Brother Yang. If you were a bitte, We would have gone to find you." Mo Yi said.

    " Ah, sorry for the inconvenience. Let''s go back." Yang Shiughed.

    " Well. The time is almost up. The gate will open at any time." Just Mo Yi was saying, With a loud rumbling sound, The gate in front of them opened.

    " Hurry, Let''s go." Mo Yi yelled as everyone rushed at the gate.

    ...............................................

    " Elder Xu, What do you think? How many will be able to awake their bloodline?" One of the Mo n elders asked.

    " If just three of them had purified their bloodline, I would be happy. It would be excellent if someone really awakens the bloodline." Elder Xu said.

    " Do you think someone can get our Anscesot''s Primordial Spirit? Someone asked Patriarch Mo Shan.

    " That would be wonderful. But other than Yun Shang, No one had been able to do it.?" Mo Shan sighed.

    " Here, The gate is opening. Let''s see." Someone eximed.

    " NEIIIGHHH" A neighing sound of horse stated everyone there.

    " Th-That''s OUR ANCESTOR''S PRIMORDIAL SPIRIT!" Someone yelled.

    " WHAT?" everyone shouted in unison.

    " Th-That''s a second young master." They saw a gigantic horse enveloped with mes, hovering above Mo Yi.

    " That Mo Yi, That''s really Mo Yi." Mo Shan couldn''t help but jump on his feet. He was very happy to see his son''s aplishments.

    Mo Yi didn''t flinch as he drew out his golden sword. A powerful aura erupted from it.

    " Oh my god. That''s the True Grade weapon- Sky Incineration Sword. Second Young master got that."

    someone recognized the sword.

    " Ahahahah, Old geezer, You never gave me a true grade weapon. See? What I have got?" Mo Yi showed his sword to Mo Shan.

    " HAHAHAHAHA. Brat, finally, You made me prideful." Mo Shan roared withughter.

    " Tsk Tsk, Old man. You are getting happy from just this? The real surprise is yet toe." Mo Yiughed mysteriously.

    " What? There is something more?" Mo Shan didn''t expect it.

    " Hahahaha, I told you, Old man. See this..." Mo Yi opened his palms. One could see an unusual flower.

    " This..." Mo Shan finally became a bit emotional.

    " Father... I got the Baleful Wind Flower." Mo Yi softly said. He couldn''t help but also be emotional. He knew how badly his father needs this flower.

    The Mo n flipped the entire country to find the flower, Yet they couldn''t find it.

    " I never thought the rumors are true. One of our ancestors really buried a Baleful Wind Flower with him." Mo Shan sighed as he said.

    " It was all because of Brother Yang. If it was not for him, I wouldn''t have been this fortunate." Mo Yi pointed at Yang Shi.

    " Ahaha, Brother Mo Yi, You are making me embarrassed. I also took the forging table from there." Yang Shi hastily shook his head.

    " Little Yang, Thanks for helping this useless brat." Mo Shan cupped his hands.

    " No, no uncle, Brother Mo Yi has very extraordinary potential. I just meagerly helped him." Yang Shi hastily stopped Mo Shan.

    " Old man! Who the fuck you are calling useless? My aptitude isn''t a bit less than my elder brother." Mo Yi snorted.

    " Hmph, We will see it in the Royalpetition." Mo Shan snorted, But his happiness couldn''t be hidden.

    Mo Shan quietly patted on Mo Yi''s head.

    Yang Shi couldn''t help but sigh. In both life, Missed one thing most. It''s parental love. In his previous life, His mother abandoned him and his father died shortly afterward. In this life, He doesn''t have any memory of them. As Yang Shi was thinking, He was started by Mo Yi.

    " Brother Yang, Let''s go for a celebration." Mo Yi dragged Yang Shi with him.

    " No, No, Brother Mo. I am too tired. I want some rest." Yang Shi refused.

    " Argh, Brother Yang. Don''t worry, It''s just a banquet. The real fun is in Hundred Flower Lake." Mo Yi drooled.

    " Hundred Flower Lake, Huh." Yang Shi fell in thought.

    " Three days. Three dayster, I will go with you." Yang Shi said to Mo Yi.

    " Tch, Three days? That''s so long. But since you wish, let''s go after three days." Mo Yi clicked his tongue.

    Yang Shi wanted to go to Hundred Flower Lake as fast as possible. But after he got the Forging Table, His n changed.

    " With Smasara Emperor''s memory, Learning Forging won''t be hard. Just three days, Wait for another Three days, Ruxue. Then we will... Kek." Yang Shi thought.

    " What a shameless Bastard." A voice rang in Yang Shi''s mind.

    " Tch, I forgot about her." Yang Shi massaged his forehead, As he heard the voice of the golden egg

 Chapter 78: Forging(1)

    Chapter 78: Forging(1)

    Yang Shi came back to his quarters of Gold and Jade inn. After he entered his room, He saw three sacks were lying there silently. " Hey? Dead already?" Yang Shi kicked one of them. There was no reaction.

    " Well, Pretend or not, I don''t care. It''s a matter of three days only, though." Yang Shi shrugged as he entered another room. He waved his hand, and the forging table appeared from thin air.

    " Hmm, For normal cksmiths, Who doesn''t have any spirit mes or me type martial spirit, They need to use fire cloud stones. But I don''t need such shits." With a wave of the hand, mes burst in his hands.

    Yang Shi''s mes are boosted multiple times by The Crimson Lily and Nine Saints Extreme Yang physique. One could see a faint white shade in the zing red mes. That was the Yang energy.

    " My mes are only enough to melt ores of low-grade Spirit Rank weapons. Hmm." Yang Shi''s eye became squinted.

    " Tch, It seems I have neglected to practice Great Yang Sr me Art. I have learned to use mes for attack But didn''t think too deep about controlling them." Yang Shi murmured.

    Normally, One can create a spirit me by themselves if They a proper Fire controlling arts. But they are very rare, monopolized by powerful ns and sects.

    One also needed to use their Spiritual Qi continuously, To keep the me burning. So, whether its Alchemy or cksmithing, Spirt mes, and me controlling arts, are necessary.

    Yang Shi used the Great Yang Sr me art to produce a lump of mes. Then he began to refine it. He refined his mes more and more. The original size of the lump of the fire has decreased, But its power has increased.

    " Now, It looks decent." Yang Shi muttered as he used the mes to ignite the furnace of the forging table.

    " Let''s start with the simplest ores.A chunk of Cold Iron, Grey Metal ores, and Purple stone crystal." Yang Shi threw three ingredients.

    "BOOM* The mes zed as Yang Shi tried to control them. The ores suddenly became stark rd. One could see some signs of liquefication.

    " Yes!." Yang Shi became a bit excited as he saw his first attempt is going smoothly. He tried to increase power.

    *" BOOM BOOOOM* But a rumbling sound started him. He saw the Purple Stine crystal exploded, oozing out the purple color liquid. The liquid mixed with Cold Iron ore and its red color became dimmer.

    " NO! WAIT! DAMN IT." Yang Sh couldn''t help but scream. He quickly put out the fire of Furnance. All that remained inside was a chunk of ck metal with a purple hue.

    " Damn, Thebination was right. So why did it happened?" Yang Shi muttered.

    " Hmm, The melting point of Purple Stone Crystal is rtively low. I shouldn''t have increased the intensity of mes. The Purple Crystal became liquid first, But the Cold Iron wasn''t. The purple liquid disrupted the Cold Iron core, and the Grey Metal acted as a catalyst." Yang Shi understood.

    " First try- Failure." Yang Shi sighed. He thought he was One- In a- Thousand-year All directional genius.

    " Bruh, It''s only the first try. Let''s do it again." Yang Shi rolled his sleeves.

    " Third Try- Fail "

    " Seventh Try- Fail"

    "The eleventh try- Fail."

    " FUCK. ALL FAILURES." Yang Shi couldn''t help but curse loudly. He tried many times, yet all he could produce are scrap chunks of metals.

    " Puhahahahaha, Just who do you think you are?" A peal ofughter rang in Yang Shi''s mind. It was none other than the golden egg. Yang Shi grumbled as he pretended not to hear.

    " She is right. Your talents are trash." Samsara Emperor joined the fray.

    " Even you? Damn, It can''t be helped." Yang Shi sighed as he sat on a nearby couch.

    " Cool down kid. cksmithing isn''t any child''s y." Samsara Emperor said lightly.

    " Aren''t you also a cksmith? How many try you did?" Yang Shi asked.

    " I made a spirit grade weapon in my third try." Samsara Emperor said.

    "....." Yang Shi became speechless.

    " The main problem you have that, You can''t control fire. Try to calm down. Don''t think about the forge, Think about Fire. Perhaps the answer is in Divine Taichi Martial Art of Yours." Samsara Emperor said.

    " Divine Art of Taichi? I thought to practice that along With Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth Art, But Then Ipletely forgot about it." Yang Shi muttered.

    Yang Shi began to remember the contents of the Divine Art of Taichi.

    <em>In the beginning, There was nothing. Then the Primordial Chaos was born. Yin and Yang were created as Heaven and Earth, born from Chaos.</em>

    <em>Yin and Yang created Ten Thousand things. If One master both Yin and Yang, They will able to grasp the origin of the Universe.</em>

    <em>Yang is Light, Fire, Righteous, Mountain, and Hardness. It represents Male.</em>

    <em>Yin is Darkness, Water, Evil, Sea, and Softness. It represents female.</em>

    <em>Yin and exist without Yang and vice versa. Flowing water might represent the Yin element, But one could find the traces of Yang in the giant tidal water, which capable of destruction.</em>

    <em>Yang might be righteous, But one could find evil Yin is in the heart. Nothing is absolute in this world.</em>

    " Yang. Fire. Fire is Origin. My me is my creation. It''s not just a tool, Its a part of me." Yang Shi stood up, With his eyes close.

    He waved his arm like a flow of water, making various stances. He moved right arm in half circr motion. Suddenly, faint white gas appeared behind him.

    " Yang." Yang Shi tried to feel the hidden energy of his bones. After all, His extraordinary skeleton is what granted him Nine Saints Extreme Yang Physique.

    The white gas behind him became clearer. It looked like a White Koi fish. " Fire is the branch of Yang." Yang Shi clenched his fist as the Koi fish suddenly reced by the zing fire. Yang Shi channeled Great Sr Yang me art.

    " Condense." Yang Shi''s eyes snapped open as he condensed mes in his palm. This time, The Fire looked like a mixture of White and Orange.

    " Change." The lump of me changed into a ming sword, then it changed into a flower.

    " Absolute control over the me." Yang Shi said.

    " That kid is ate bloomer." Samsara Emperormented.

    " By the way, Why did you lie?" Hong Er asked with a smile on her face.

    " Lie? What Lie?" Samsara Emperor said with confusion.

    " Three tries and You made a Spirit Grade Weapon? Oh please." Hong Er smirked.,

    " Bruh, I slowed down purposefully. I wanted to refine my skills to the utmost." Samsara Emperor waved his hand as he evaded from this topic.

 Chapter 79: Forging(2)

    Chapter 79: Forging(2)

    " Finally, A fine piece of billet." Yang Shi took out a chunk of metal, glowing like the setting sun. Yang Shi took out and put it on the table.

    After the 19th time, Yang Shi sessfully managed to merge ores and melted it into a billet. He managed to bnce the mes.

    " Hammering a hundred times is refinement, But hammering a thousand times is perfection." Yang Shi muttered as he pulled the hammer. The hammer seems to be made by some rare ore. Although its bronze color, Once could find a faint bluish hue over it.

    " Keuk. Fuck, It''s heavy!" Yang Shi cried. He has reached the peak of the Bone Forging stage, So the strength of his body isn''t any trifling matter. But he could barely lift the hammer above the ground. Only after circting his Internal Energy. Yang Shi was able to swing it with ease.

    " Damn son. This is a hell of a hammer. I wonder What will be the result If I smash it on someone''s head?" Yang Shi cackled.

    *DING DING DING DING* Yang Shi began to hammer the billet. But he made a different n. After a certain amount of time, Yang Shi reduced his internal energy a bit. He thought to wield the hammer without using Internal Energy.

    " The Forging Table for cksmiths, The Cauldron for Alchemist and The Inscription Pen of Rune masters is the same as their body parts." Samsara Emperor said to Yang Shi.

    Soon Yang Shi forgot the flow of time. He could only hear the bell like sound of hammering. The *Ding* sound became more and more frequent. The sound became one with his heartbeat. He felt like each of his cells is thrumming with each hit.

    Yang Shi limited his Internal Energy by 90%. He could fee the force behind the hammer. The size of the metal billet, Which was at the size of a brick in the beginning, shrank to the size of a ball.

    " More. More." Yang Shi''s mind had entered a trance state. " Merge Various Ores together. Refine the billet. Shape the Billet as a weapon. It''s time to shape my billet." Yang Shi muttered.

    Yang Shi changed his stance. He began to hammer in a different way. After a while, The ball size billet looked like a crude dagger. Yang Shi took it and quenched. Then began to polish it des.

    After four hours, Yang Shi finished a dagger. It shone with a pale purple light. Yang Shi took it and made a dozen shes in the blink of an eye.

    " Finally. I made a Mortal weapon, which is a top grade." Yang Shi smiled foolishly.

    " Tsk, it is only a Mortal weapon. Why are youughing like a fool?" Samsara Emperor scolded.

    " Bruh, How do you know? What am I feeling now? This is my precious baby." Yang Shi cuddled the dagger.

    " Tch." Samsara Emperor only chuckled. But he remembered when he crafted his first weapon. " Those days... Ha." He couldn''t help but sigh lightly.

    "It is light as a feather and sharp enough to cut hides of Ferocious beasts. My first weapon isn''t bad at all." Yang Shi giggled.

    " Aiii, Time for some rest." Yang Shi went to his bedroom and slept soundly.

    The next day, He went back to the forge to forge weapons. This time, He bit his finger and dripped his blood on the forge and the hammer. Then, He was able to lift the hammer without Internal Energy.

    " Since this is my first forging hammer, I shall name you as Sky Breaker. Ahahahaha, Such a cool name. Yeh, Sky Breaker." Yang Shiughed.

    " Cheeky Brat." Samsara Emperor snickered upon hearing this name.

    Yang Shi spent the entire day making various weapons, Such as Swords, Sabers, Daggers. He found some difficulties regarding making spears and axes. But after trying many times, He sessfully forged them. All of them are Mortal grade weapons, But they are the finest among them.

    Among cksmiths, There are ranks. The lowest ones are Apprentice cksmiths. They can only make some few low grade weapons. Most of them works as errand boys. After theme Adept cksmiths. They can make fine Mortal Grade weapons. Yang Shi has reached Adept cksmith Stage with ease.

    Thenes Master cksmith. It''s a threshold point of Every cksmith. Only Master cksmiths can make Spirit Grade weapons. Starting from the Adept cmsmith rank, Each rank is divided into three stages - Low, Mid, and High. For example- A low rank Adept cksmith can forge low grade Spirit Weapon. A mid Grade can make a Mid level Spirit weapon etc.

    Yang Shi became immersed in forging weapons. In his view, It''s not much different from Alchemy. The only difference is, You have to use Ores in ces of medicinal herbs.

    Merging various ores and metals, To make a perfect billet, Yang Shi liked it most. Although he never liked chemistry, He is liking this profession.

    Yang Shi had tried out a hundredbinations of various minerals and metals. He also listed out metals are best for a specific weapon. For example, Yang Shi saw Purple Stone Crystal is good for making a light and flexible Longsword, While theck Meteor steel is best for strong and heavy Sabers.

    Yang Shi didn''t care about the materials, As he has two carts of them. He stole them from the Golden Sun sect in the Deep Sky Forest. Although lots of them wasted during his failed attempts, Learning a trade like this is literally burning money after all.

    " Whew. Should I start to make Spirit Grade weapons?" Yang Shi said with an excited tone.

    " Pfft. Hahahahaha. Sure, If you want to do that, I won''t refuse. Ahahahaha." Samsara Emperorughed.

    " Bruh, Just watch me." Yang Shi snorted. The only difference between a Mortal grade weapon and a Spirit grade weapon is the Spirit diagram. With this, One can easily empower the weapon, Imbuing Spiritual Qi. The Spirit Diagram can be counted as the meridians of a Spirit grade weapon.

    Yang Shi knew about some basic Spirit diagrams. " All I have to do is to draw the diagram over a Mortal weapon. It''s kinda simple, No?" Yang Shi said to himself. He quickly made a small knife. He picked the tools for drawing a Spirit diagram. With a pen-like tool, He drew meticulously. But as he was on halfway, The Dagger snapped to half.

    " Fuahahahahaha. Oh lord. Hahahahaha." A burst ofughter weed Yang Shi.

 Chapter 80: Forging(3)

    Chapter 80: Forging(3)

    " Hahahaha. It''s been a while since Iughed like this." Samsara Emperor was rolling on the floor. Yang Shi''s face turned bitter.

    " Fine. Please, your highness, The great Samsara Emperor, Show me the way." Yang Shi snorted.

    " Hahaha, brat, You are running like a headless chicken. You thought that you would make a Spiri grade weapon like a Mortal weapon?" Samsara Emperor snickered.

    " Who told you to give me your fragmented memory? Finding a suitable technique from it is the same as finding a needle in a haystack." Yang Shi raged.

    " Oh, that? Of course, That''s to harras you. Think about it, You have top grade cultivation techniques, Magi arts, Body cultivation Arts, Supreme Alchemy techniques, and what not? But you can only stare at them." Samsara Emperorughed.

    "..." Yang Shi became speechless.

    " I want you to grow up your own. If I meddle in your life a bit much, It will affect the karmic cycle, and fate works." Samsara Emperor''s face grew serious.

    " Well, Enough bullshit. Just tell me how to draw a Spirit diagram already." Yang Shi became impatient.

    " Fine. Drawing a Spirit diagram is the same as drawing a painting. In yournguage- It''s making electric circuits, Which will channel electricity. You need to control your Spiritual Qi and pour it into the tool, Then carve the diagram. There are basic diagrams andplex diagrams."

    " Basic ones are what everyone knows. It''s easiest to make, While theplex ones are difficult to draw. But, Of course, The moreplex the Spirit Diagram will be, The More powerful the Weapon bes." Samsara Emperor exined.

    " You can find about Basic Spirit diagrams If you spend money. Even you join the Golden Fire Tower, All you learn will be Diagrams, which are just more powerful than basic ones." Samsara Emperor said.

    Golden Fire Tower is a special ce for Alchemist and cksmiths. Only those, Who have passed in the assessment of Golden Fire Tower, has the right to call themselves cksmiths of Alchemist.

    The passing rate is very few. It''s said that only one out of a thousand passed from The Golden Fire Tower test.

    " So, What''s the n? You know me, Right? cksmithing is just beginning. I want to excel in all professions." Yang Shi said to Samsara Emperor.

    " Ho! Saying like learning a profession is a child''s y. You are sure overconfident with yourself. Don''t bite more than you could chew." Samsara Emperor snorted.

    " What? Didn''t learn all those? I just need to assimte with your memory." Yang Shi smirked.

    " Don''t be too greedy, Brat, First, focus on cksmithing. You need a corresponding technique for it." Samsara Emperor muttered.

    " Yeh, Give me a supreme forging technique." Yang Shi''s eye shone with greed.

    " Bruh, Look at those greedy eyes. But it can''t be helped. But, I won''t be giving you, Until you master the Celestial view of Roc n." Samsara Emperor gave a condition.

    " Fine." Yang Shi couldn''t do much about it.

    " Well, rather than rushing ahead, Try to refine What you currently have." Samara Emperor told Yang Shi.

    " Right, The more solid the foundation, The sturdy building will be." Yang Shi agreed.

    " Let me teach you something more. cksmithing consists of Three types. First- Making from scratch, Like what are you doing currently. It''s building something from metals and ores. The second way is- Refining a ready-made weapon. If you want to enhance your weapons, You will do this. In this method, You will be able to enhance your weapons with the help of rare ores. Think it like using Star Core Iron to merge with your nameless Longsword and make it a True grade weapon." Samsara emperor exined.

    " A true cksmith needs to learn both of the methods. Besides these two, There is another unorthodox path. Honestly, It''s much more difficult than the first two methods. You can say it as reverse engineering. In this way, You will able to extract ores from treasures. But currently, I don''t think you need to learn this." Samsara Emperor finished.

    " For now, Try to create even more powerful Mortal grade weapons." This was thest piece of advice. Yang Shi hurriedly nodded and went back to his forge. He worked there and made several weapons.

    He took rest after nonstop working for eight hours. But his rest was quite short. He got up quickly and began to practice the Celestial view technique.

    Celestial view, This technique was made by the powerful ancestors of the Heavenly Roc n. The Rocs have a naturally overpowered eyesight. The Celestial View technique not only bolsters the normal eye vision But also helps to see whatmon people can''t.

    If one master this technique to the utmost, They will able to see an ant from a hundred miles away, Without any help of Spiritual Qi. The Celestial View can pierce through the void and stare through fate.

    One gaze can instantly kill low level cultivators. One can calcte the constetion and peek through the walls of heaven.

    The summary of this technique is just too grand for Yang Shi. Seeing an ant from a hundred miles away? That is too overpowered.

    " Hmm, can it see through the clothes?" A lewd thought came to Yang Shi''s mind.

    " You perverted bastard, What the hell are you thinking?" An angry voice started Yang Shi.

    " I gave you such a precious technique, and you are thinking about such dirty stuff?" The golden egg raged.

    " Oh, tell me already? Does it have that feature?" Yang Shi''s eye gleamed.

    " It has, But let me tell you something. Most cultivators will know straight away if you tried o see through their clothes. After all, there is a thing called the sixth sense." The golden egg snorted.

    " That''s applied to high-level cultivators. I can still try this on low level cultivators. Hahahaha." Yang Shi cackled.

    " Hmph, Then never ask me anything in the future." The golden egg threatened.

    " Fine, my dear grandma." Yang Shi could only sigh.

    A day and a half passed like that. Yang Shi was stretching his bodyzily. He has some minor aplishments regarding the Celestial View.

    It was evening. Yang Shi sat in his armchair.

    " Well, That''s a difficult technique." Yang Shi said. Yang Shi''s thoughts disrupted as he felt a strange feeling.

    " What?!" Yang Shi was surprised. He hastily looked at a thing, Which was glowing with a silver light.

    " Hmm, It seems there is something important." Yang Shi muttered as he went outside.

 Chapter 81: Old Ghost is here

    Chapter 81: Old Ghost is here

    Yang Shi''s leisure was over as he became surprised. The silver seal of Blood Moon Hall was glowing.

    Yang Shi already ascended from bronze rank to silver rank. The seal of Blood Moon Hall has a special significance. To be more specific, a higher rank seal means more terrifying Assassin.

    The meaning of glowing seal means the Blood Moon Hall is summoning him. " Hmm, I have some time. Ah, How did I forgot?" Yang Shi pped his thigh. He quickly went back to his forge.

    He quickly threw a few chunks of metals in the furnace and melted them. He took them out and hammered it till it became a thin sheet. After a few minutes, he made what he wanted to make.

    Yang Shi made a face mask. It was a pitch ck mask with golden outlining. Just from a look, one could feel the evilness. Yang Shi gave it a demonic look. After all, An assassin must look like a harvester of life.

    Yang Shi ced the mask on his face and went to a mirror. " Kekeke, Evil Shadow. It looks exactly, as I wanted. I should make the entire matching body armor. Keke, I would look like a superhero." Yang Shi cackled. He wore a ck daoist robe and went towards the Blood Moon Hall.

    After a few minutes, He put on his mask and entered the Blood Moon Hall. The atmosphere was bustling as before. Lots of people areing and going from the mission hall.

    He went straightly there and asked," Why did you summon me?" The person sitting on the desk looked at Yang Shi and coughed lightly.

    " You took the mission of killing Leaping Crp town magistrate, Bai Xuan, Five days ago. It has been four days, but Bai Xuan isn''t dead. Pleaseplete your mission before the deadline, else you need to pay the penalty." The man said.

    " Oh, That. I forgot about the time limit. Damn, But don''t worry. I held him as captive." Yang Shi scratched his head.

    " We don''t care. You need to kill him before the time limit." The man said tly.

    " Tch, I think I need to push my n forward." Yang Shi thought.

    " Anyway, So that''s why you summoned me?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Partially. Someone asked us to summon you." The man smiled.

    " Who?" Yang Shi asked with surprise.

    "It''s me." A voice started Yang Shi.

    " It''s you, Old Ghost." Yang Shi eximed. He never expected to meet Old Ghost here.

    " Damn brat, I thought you have died already." The old ghostughed.

    " What? Are you cursing me?" Yang Shi''s eye narrowed.

    " Hahaha, just kidding. So, What''s happened to your n being a cksmith?" Old ghost asked.

    " Ah, I have mastered the basics." Yang Shi noded.

    " Wow,Did you learned how to melt metals? Did you able to forge a billet?" The Old Ghost asked.

    " Huh? Melting metals and ores? Tha.." Before Yang Shi could finish, Old Ghost cut in.

    " You are making good progress. Try to learn about metals and ores. Their internal structure, Their effects and smelting points, etc. People spend more than half a year just to be an Apprentice cksmith. You have a lot of time." The Old Ghost patted Yang Shi.

    " Wh-What are you talking about?" Yang Shi asked with an odd face.

    " Huh?" Old Ghost became confused.

    " What are you saying, geezer? I have already reached the rank of Adept cksmith. I can forge perfect Mortal Rank." Yang Shi raged.

    " Wh-What? You can forge peak Mortal rank weapons? Wh are you trying to deceive, Brat?" The Old Ghost''s eyes narrowed.

    " See? I made this not long ago." Yang Shi withdrew a Long sword from his spatial ring and threw it at the Old Ghost. Old Ghost caught the Longsword and examined it.

    " Bnced ratio of Purple Stone Crystal and Cold Iron. You even added some ck sand to increase durability. I can tell that this weapon was made not long ago." The Old Ghost was astonished.

    " Did you really forged this by yourself? Since when you started learning cksmithing?" Old Ghost asked.

    " Around a week ago." Yang Shi lied. He learned in two days, But it will be too much for Old Ghost.

    " In one week, You managed to be a am Adept cksmith?!!!" Old Ghost couldn''t hide his shock.

    " Well, It''s a bit of secret, But, Yeh." Yang Shi noded.

    " Fuck. This is fucking crazy." Old Ghost muttered.

    " Anyway, Is this why you summoned me?" Yang Shi asked.

    " What? You don''t want to meet this old man, who is on the verge of death?" Old Ghost snorted.

    " Uh... It''s not like that." Yang Shi tried to use his Godly vision along with the Celestial view. Although he barely grasped the basics of Celestial View, He used it nheless.

    " And please, Don''t joke like that. With your cultivation level, you can''t die from old age." Yang Shi snorted, But inwardly, He was astonished. Even with his eyes, He couldn''t see the cultivation level of Old Ghost.

    " Damn, This old man is very powerful. He actually an Origin Core realm expert." The golden egg eximed.

    " WHAT?!" Yang Shi was taken aback. He thought that Old Ghost would be high leveled Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator. But Origin Core Realm? That''s unexpected.

    " Wait does that mean he is almost the same level as the King of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom? What the fuck?" Yang Shi screamed internally.

    " My cultivation level? It''s nothing worthy?" The Old Ghost chuckled.

    " Anyway, We have strayed from your question. I summoned you because of a special thing." The Old Ghostughed.

    " What thing?" Yang Shi asked suspiciously.

    " Do you still have all those goods of Golden Sun Sect?" Old Ghost asked quietly.

    " Ah that. I have but... Why are you asking?" Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed.

    " Ahahaha, Why are you being so cautious?" Old Ghsoughed to ease Yang Shi. " You don''t need that many weapons for personal use. You can sell them to me. I will give you an appropriate price." Old Ghost smiled.

    " Really?" Yang Shi smirked. " Let''s talk somewhere else." Yang Shi said.

    " Sure." Old Ghost nodded.

    ...............................................

    " So what''s your opinion?" Old Ghost asked

    " You see, I saw the peculiarity in all those weapons." Yang Shi smirked. Old Ghost''s smile became stiff.

    " They aren''t just Peak Mortal Grade weapons, But half made Spirit grade weapon." Yang Shi tapped his finger on the table.

    " This..." Finally, the Old Ghost''s face became serious.

 Chapter 82: Negotiation

    Chapter 82: Negotiation

    " Cough cough." Old Ghost coughed dryly.

    " You know, The special thing about pseudo Spirit grade weapons? If one doesn''t look carefully at their structure and materials that have been used, He would find these as only Top tier Mortal Grade weapons." Yang Shi smiled.

    One would face a difficult time to make a normal Mortal grade weapon into Spirit grade. But these pseudo Spirit grade weapons are different. They usually being crafted with such materials, which generally used to make Spirit grade weapons.

    If one finds a skilled Rune master, Converting pseudo Spirit grade weapons into full fledged Spirit weapons will be easy.

    " All the weapon I have, Is enough for a troop of 400 soldiers. Think about it. A troop of Primordial Spirit realm soldiers, With Spirit grade weapons. Ah, I forgot about those 100 Golden String Crossbows. You could actually start a full blown civil war." Yang Shi smirked.

    " Well, well, Your eyes are sharper than I imagined." Old Ghost sighed.

    " So what you..." Before Old Ghost could say anything, Yang Shi interrupted.

    " No, Oh no. I don''t want to mess in royal politics. I will sell it at an appropriate price. I don''t want to hear the reason. I just hope that this deal will remain covert." Yang Shi said tly. Old Ghost''s eye gleamed with a strange light.

    "It''s an interesting answer. Why don''t you want to hear? What if we used it in some evil way?" Old Ghost asked.

    " I don''t care about any evil until it harms my loved ones. Anyway, I can''t keep all these things myself. I don''t have any use for them." Yang Shi smirked.

    " Well... So what''s your price?" Old Ghost asked.

    " Since you know everything, Your backers must be very powerful as well. I want...20,00,000 gold coins." Yang Shi said.

    " Wait. That''s too much." Old Ghost raged.

    " I don''t care. 20,00,000 is my final price. Deal or Leave." Yang Shi coldly said.

    " This... I need some time." Old Ghost said.

    " Hmph, An Origin Core realm expert is hesitating. Interesting." Yang Shi thought. After a while, Yang Shi came back to his house.

    " Damn this Bai Xuan. Because of her, I can''t kill him yet. Hmm, I guess I have given enough time to Hundred Flower Lake." Yang Shi thought.

    After practicing Celestial View for a while, Yang Shi wore a costly robe and put his Heaven Cmity saber on back. He went to the direction of the Hundred Flower Lake.

    " Ah, Look, Who hase?" Lady Shan eximed.

    " Sister Shan, You look beautiful as always." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Ahahaha, Your tongue is getting smoother and smoother. Our Lady has known your arrival. Please, This way." Sister Shan smiled. Yang Shi didn''t get surprised as he followed her.

    "It''s been a while. Who the Second Princess is doing?" Yang Shi cupped his hands as he saw the second princess. She was looking like a fine sculptor, carved from jade.

    " Young Master Yang surely knows how to talk with ady." The second princess smiled. Even she wore a veil, Her beauty didn''t hide.

    " So, Did you think about my proposal?" Yang Shi asked seriously.

    " Hahaha, Young Master Yang, Why are you getting so hurried?" The Second Princessughed. " And, Don''t call me second princess. It''s so awkward."

    " So, What should I address you?" Yang Shi surprised.

    " My name is Xia Rong." Thedy smiled.

    " Miss Xia. Good. So..." While Yang Shi was going to ask, Xia Rong stopped him.

    " Bring Young Master the finest Tea." Xia Rong pped her hand.

    " Tea? Can''t you bring some wine?" Yang Shi muttered.

    " Our Nine leaf Tea refreshes both body and mind. It can contest with our Hundred Flower Wine." Xia Rongughed.

    Soon, a maid brought two cups of tea. Xia Rong lifted her cup and indicated Yang Shi. Yang Shi also took a sip. Soon, A sweet vor made Yang Shi surprised.

    " HMM, Indeed. Its taste can rival Hundred Flower Wine." Yang Shi nodded.

    " Let''s talk about the Sublime Yang Elixir." Xia Ring suddenly said. Yang Shi''s ear perked up. Finally...

    " We divided it into five portions, Enough for five people. We sold each portion at 30,000 gold coins." Xia Rong said.

    " Pffft." Yang Shi almost spurted his tea. 30,000 gold coins for a single portion? He made the entire Subline Yang Elixir with 50,000 gold coins.

    " Young Master Yang thinks this price is very high?" Xia Rong smiled.

    "Isn''t the case?" Yang Shi astonished.

    " Not at all. The effects are very surprising. After our first customer tried, He began to demand more.

    He said - He never felt such vigor in bed before. Hested thrice of normal aphrodisiac. And the most important thing- there wasn''t any side effects." Xia Rong smiled.

    " So, The customers were happy, huh?" Yang Shiughed. He never thought that something like Sublime Yang Elixir could earn him this much.

    " It became very popr after the first customer described its effect. It sold more quickly than we imagined. All five people gave satisfactory reviews."

    " They are even asking us- When the next stock will arrive." Xia Rongughed. Herughter is like bell chimes. Yang Shi got dazed a bit.

    " Hmm, I expected such results. About YinEnchantment Pill..." Yang Shi probed. Hearing this name, The smile of Xia Rong grew a stiff a bit.

    She took a light breath and smiled. " Young Master Yang is really an honest person. I asked Alchemy Master Yin to connect the Yin Enchantment pill as you described. "

    I am very much astonished by its effect. Only after eating three pills, Our girl became pretty, Like someone washed all their body filth. They are giving a healthy and natural glow, Unlike any artificial makeup." Xia Rong sighed a bit.

    Yang Shi grinned. This is all he wanted to hear.

    " Even an iplete pill recipe has so much effect. I wonder..." Xia Rong said.

    " So? Deal?" Yang Shi cut in.

    " Well, It will be a loss for us, If I say no." Xia Rong said. Yang Shi''s grin became wider.

    " You can take away Miss Ruxue. But, Is she really worth it?" Xia Rong slightly bit her lips.

    " What Miss Xia means?" Yang Shi didn''t understand.

    " I mean... Why her? It''s not like there are no other, who is prettier than her?" Xia Rong said.

    " Hmm, You can say... Its fate." Yang Shi smiled.

    " If you are taking miss Ruxue for her Yin physique..." Xia Rong stopped. Yang Shi''s smile stiffened as a strange light glowed in his eyes."

    " How did you know?" Yang Shi asked.

    " So, You are really taking her as a cultivation cauldron." Xia Rong sighed.

    " Pardon me, But I assure you that, Using her as a cauldron isn''t my target. But I wonder how did you know?" Yan Shi asked.

    " All I can say, If you are hellbent on taking her away, You should also beware of lurking dangers." Xia Rong''s tone got a bit heavier.

    " And who is that?" Yang Shi asked.

    " The Second Prince of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom."

 Chapter 83: Battle of eyesight

    Chapter 83: Battle of eyesight

    Yang Shi''s eyes became wide from shock. He never expected that the second prince of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom would have an interest in Bai Ruxue''s constitution.

    " Judging from your expression, you didn''t know. I can''t tell you more than this. So, You still want to take away Miss Ruxue? I mean, I can give the appropriate price for the thing you have granted us. Women, Money, Cultivation resources, anything you wish." Xia Rong smiled as she gave out her conditions.

    Yang Shi took a big gulp of tea and leaned back on his chair. He pondered for a while. What Xia Rong is offering isn''t bad at all. Yang Shi really doesn''t want to mess with the royal household.

    He came from the earth and had read a thing called " History Book." He had read the politics of ancient dynasties, How outsiders muddled with the affairs of Kingdoms and got in a huge mess, which costed their lives.

    He could even use Bai Ruxue as a bargaining chip with the Second Prince. " Hmm, But then, It would be bad to a talented girl to perish like this." Yang Shi thought. As he has the memory of Samsara Emperor - He has a method to transform Bai Ruxue''s Pure Yin Maiden''s physique into Nine Yin Emperyean Physique.

    She will be a cultivation genius in no time.Yang Shi is a bit reluctant to let go of such talent.

    " Also she is beautiful. Tsk Tsk, Such beauty... Not to mention, Me and she have a deal." Yang Shi smiled.

    " I still chose Bai Ruxue." Yang Shi finally answered. Xia Rong blinked her eyes But didn''t say anything.

    " Well, Why should I fear the Secon Prince. It''s not I am weak. And if the situation became worse, I can just run away from here." Yang Shiughed.

    " Since this is your wish, I won''t deny it. You can take her away." Xia Rong lightly said.

    " Well, I have prepared a little surprise for her." Yang Shi grinned. Since his work has done, He came back from the Hundred Flower Lake. But as he was on the road, He suddenly stopped at the sight of someone. He saw an old man, who was smiling at him. Yang Shi massaged his be as he and the old man entered a nearby inn.

    While sitting at the table, Yang Shi became a bit surprised as he saw a ck clothed figure stood beside Old Ghost. Yang Shi couldn''t see the gender, even after he used his Celestial view.

    That person covered with ck cloth and wore a straw hat. Assuming his gender is quite difficult.

    Either his Celestial View is very low, or, This person''s cultivation is higher.

    " Tsk, It''s just a cloth made by aura hiding metal. I can''t more embarrassed for you. I gave you the Celestial View technique, yet you are so useless. The golden egg snorted. "It is just a cultivator of eight stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm."

    " So, That''s the reason." Yang Shi understood. He looked at Old Ghost and asked, " This gentleman?" The ck clothed person coughed roughly as the Old ghost smiled.

    " Ah, S...He is my assistant. You can say, He came here to check the goods." The old ghost smiled.

    " Whoa whoa, You didn''t agree with the deal yet." Yang Shi became a bit surprised.

    " Well, Since I asked you toe here, I naturally agreed." Old Ghost harrumphed.

    " Well, It seems my price is a bit low." Yang Shi clicked his tongue. Old Ghost''s eyes widened.

    " What? Do you think the price is small? You even know..." Befoe Old Ghost couldplete his word, Yang Shi cut in.

    " Oh please, Sine you are willing to buy this much from me, It''s clear that you are no pushover. Even Hundred Gold Pavilion might not able to fetch that much gold coin. But you? Tsk." Yang Shi snickered. Even the ck-clothed person chuckled.

    " Fine. Enough chi chat. Can you show me the goods?" Old Ghost asked.

    " This way, Customer." Yang Shi smiled as the trio went to a quiet room. Yang Shi''s eye shone a bit as he saw a silvery bow on the back of ck clothed man. " It seems your choice of weapon is a bow?" Yang Shi spoke first. The ck clothed man remained silent till now. Hearing Yang Shi''s question, that person looked at him and nodded.

    " You must have pretty keen eyesight, eh?" Yang Shi tried to talk with that person, But the person didn''t answer.

    " Indeed. He has very powerful eyesight, and he also practices a technique named " Hundred Miles Vision." Old Ghost borate.

    " Ah, I heard about the technique. He must be a powerful archer." Yang Shiughed. " Yes, You can say so." Old Ghost also beamed. The ck clothed figure only shrugged.

    " Here are all the stuff." Yang Shi waved his hand as huge boxes appeared from thin air. The ck clothed person opened them.

    " Hmm, Sabers, Swords, Throwing daggers and nine spears. Everything at its right quantity. Umm, Where is the main thing?" Old Ghost asked as he stroked his beard.

    " Ah, Here." Yang Shi clicked his tongue as he took out another box from his Spatial Ring. The old Ghost opened the box eagerly. A slight golden hue wan emanating from it.

    " Ah, Golden string Crossbows." The Old ghost picked one and looked carefully.

    " This is a hell of a weapon. Just think, Hundred Primordial Spirit realm soldier, Who are veterans in guerri warfarebined with these Spirit grade crossbows... Tch, I can''t even think of the oue." Yang Shi clicked his tongue.

    " Hoho, Your mind is pretty sharp." Old Ghost couldn''t help but grin. But at that moment, The ck clothed person opened his mouth.

    " Why there are only 99 crossbows? Where is thest one?" He asked with a raspy voice. His voice sounded a bit unnatural.

    " Ah, I kept one for myself. You can''t be that stingy." Yang Shi chided.

    " Why are you using crossbows? Aren''t you a saber user?" The ck clothed person raised his voice as he looked at Yang Shi''s Heaven Cmity saber.

    " I use both Sword and Saber. And I am also proficient in archery. An assassin needs to bepatible with every weapon." Yang Shi sneered.

    " Hmph, You quite boastful, aren''t you?" The ck clothed person chuckled. Old Ghost remained silent as he observed the situation with interest.

    " Reall?" Why don''t we have a match with your bow and my crossbow?" Yang Shi snickered.

    " Why should I lower myself to you?" The ck clothed person didn''t budge.

    " If you won, I will cut my price to half." Yang Shi stated. The ck clothed person stared at Yang Shi with interest.

    " Of course, That''s when you win. If you lose... Keke." Yang Shi grinned but didn''t say anything else.

    " Is it?" Then let''s start." Twisting his arm, He took off the bow from his back. He took the arrow and pulled the string like lightning. He looked at a building three hundred meters away and fired his arrow.

    With a blink of an eye, The arrow vanished in the darkness.

    " With my arrow, I can target the teacup, Which is inside a room in that building. I will admit defeat if you can just target the room." The ck Clothed person coldly said.

    Yang Shi smiled as he took out a Golden String Crossbow and loaded it. His purplish eyes became azure as he stared at the distance. The Old Ghost suddenly felt a bad feeling.

    Holding the crossbow like a gun, Yang Shi fired it.

    Chapter 84: The Die has casted

    The arrow traveled like lightning as it vanished in the darkness. " Shall we go and check?" Old Ghost proposed. The tri hastened their pace as they arrived there in a minute.

    It was a tall building. There was only one window. and it was big as a human head. It was covered with a crisscross bamboo stick, like a. There was much small space between them.

    The trio sneak arrived in that room. Nobody was there. The ck clothed person went ahead and picked his arrow and pointed at the broken cup.

    " See? I broke the cup from afar. Hmm, Where is your arrow? Is it copsed in midway?" The ck clothed person sneered. Yang Shi smiled. He acted like he didn''t hear that person and went towards the corner.

    He pointed at it. The ck clothed person''s eye went wide from shock. Just looking at the cup from afar was almost impossible. But this young man actually hit the corner wall, which was not only even far than the teacup, but also at an odd angle.

    " You actually managed to hit the wall." The ck clothed person was surprised.

    " Wall? That wasn''t my target." Yang Shi snorted. He went ahead and pulled out his arrow. One could see a pea-sized ck thing on the arrow tip.

    The ck clothed person''s eye almost popped out. Yes, It was a bug. Yang Shi targeted a small bug from three hundred meters far in the darkness of night!

    The Old Ghost sighed. He already knew the result the moment Yang Shi fired his arrow. He was also pretty much surprised as the ck clothed person.

    " Well well, Someone is quite boasting about their archery." Yang Shi mocked. He could see that the ck clothed person was trembling from shame and rage. Yang Shi cackled at this sight.

    " Well, I didn''t put any condition back then, as you were sure about your winning. But since you have lost...Bow down before me and call me Master." Yang Shi grinned viciously. The ck clothed man erupted in anger, " WHAT? What the fuck did you just say? Do you even know wh..." Before The ck clothed person could be charged at Yang Shi, Old Ghost held him back.

    " Enough. Don''t cause more trouble here." The first time, Yang Shi saw Old Ghost talking in a cold tone. In his eyes, The eyes of the old ghost showed a bit of disappointment.

    " See, Old Man, It wasn''t me who started the things. Well, I will pull back my condition, If you want." Yang Shi saw the ck clothed person was fuming in anger. He knew his limit.

    " At least you have some conscience, Brat. Don''t worry, I will give a proper reward." The Old Ghost smiled. He pulled out an old tattered book and handed it to Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi''s eyes widened in surprise. It was a Saber technique. Yang Shi''s Heaven Evasion Lighting Stealth Art''s technique is best used by a sword. Fundamentally, Swords and Sabers are different, so is their techniques. Till now, Yang Shi hasn''t chosen a technique for his Heaven Cmity ancient saber.

    Since he wanted to master both his Longsword and Saber, Yang Shi needed a powerful Saber technique. " Well well, It seems I should have leech off some more from you." Yang Shi smacked his lips.

    " You can If you want to join us..." The Old Ghost probingly said.

    " No thanks. I don''t want to cast away my carefree life." Yang Shi snickered.

    " Tch, See? Who is lying? Brat, You have already entered the match. Kekeke." Old Ghost sinisterly smiled.

    " Wh-What do you mean?" Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as he felt, Old Ghost isn''t joking.

    " All I am saying, Handling the Second Prince won''t be easy, as he is desperate to increase his cultivation. He will stop at nothing, to find a suitable cauldron to devour." Old Ghostughed as he quickly left with the ck clothed person. Yang Shi didn''t notice the resentful gaze of the ck-clothed person.

    ..............................................

    " I am very disappointed with your conduct today." Old Ghost said with a grave tone. The ck clothed person took out his mask and hat.

    " But Grandpa..." Yang Shi might think he had a problem in the head if he were to hear the ck Clothed person now. He talked like a girl of 18 years old. No to be precise, A girl in boy''s disguise.

    " Don''t underestimate people, Even they are in ces like this. That kid isn''t only a genius in the martial path but also a talent in cksmithing. You can say he is one of the rare talents." The Old Ghost berated her.

    " But he is so arrogant. Humph, Moreover, His cultivation realm is far lower than mine. If not for you, I would have taught him a lesson." The girl harrumphed.

    " This is why your elder sister sent you to the field. Those who have an abundance of cultivation resources, battle techniques, or cultivation arts, never know the true path of cultivation. I saw that kid when he was just a meager Spiritual Ascension realm cultivator, But today? He had the aura of a powerful cultivator."

    " You may think that he is only at the third stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, But with his hidden strength, He could even defeat the sixth stage cultivator." Old Ghost sighed.

    " So you are saying..." The girl spoke.

    " No, Not now. I want to test him more." Old Ghost smiled.

    ............................................

    " That Old man knows everything about me and Xia Rong''s conversation, eh? Sure, He is an Origin Core realm cultivator. He must have his own methods." Yang Shi thought for a while. Old Ghost knew about the second prince and Bai Ruxue''s physique.

    " Ke, It seems things will get more interesting in the future. My life has been too dulltely." Yang Shi felt he wanted to enjoy the thrill.

    Yang Shi looked at the tattered book. The name of the technique is " Heaven Saber Seven Arts"

    " Wow, The name of this technique is very imposing. Yang Shi thought.

    " Pah, My memory contained so many overbearing Saber arts. You being happy to just looking a shitty technique, I am so disappointed in you." Samsara Emperor scowled.

    " Bruh, Your technique is so fucking high, That I can''t use it with my current power." Yang Shi didn''t back away.

    "It''s your inability, Not mine." Samsara Emperor shrugged.

    " Bastard." Yang Shi couldn''t help but curse loudly. His mood is ruined now, So he kept the tattered book forter use.

    "Aha, Since my precious Maid ising home, I should prepare the gifts." Yang Shiughed lewdly.

    " Pervert." The Golden Egg couldn''t help but snort.

    Soon amotion rose in Hundred Flower Lake. A beautiful girl sat in a carriage, With a gaze of resentment. With a look, One could clearly see that the girl''s eyes were filled with despair and unwillingness to live anymore.

    Chapter 85: Grudge of a Woman(1)

    " Hahaha, HAHAHAHA. You did it. You guys finally have shown your true color." The girl screamed hysterically.

    " Lady Ruxue, Please hold your emotions. You will be very surprised to meet that person." Sister Shan said with a light tone.

    " What person? You fucking whores have sold me for money. Old Hag, didn''t you said that if I proved my worth, No one able to tarnish my body? What about it? What happened now?" The girl continued to scream.

    " So this was the reason why that bitch Hua was being nice to me all the days. I learned everything...Just to be a better prostitute. Pffft. Ahahahaha." Bai Ruxeughed like a man woman.

    " Well, Enough chi chat. Let''s go." The old woman of Hundred Flower Lake shouted as the carriage left with Bai Ruxue.

    " Silly girl. She doesn''t know that she actually got free from this abyss." Sister Shan couldn''t help but be emotional.

    " Future is unpredictable. But, I am feeling a little happy about thatss. I hope she will find a ce called home." The old woman gave a rare smile.

    ...........................................

    Bai Ruxe sat in the carriage with a bleak face, devoid of emotions.

    " Why? Why is this happening to me? Why?" She quietly asked herself.

    ...............

    " Father! When you areing back?"

    " Don''t worry, Honey. I will be back in three days."

    " Unh, You must. Then we will go fishing."

    The fire raged everywhere as the people from the Mei n ughtered the Bai n. Bai Ruxue hid in a corner. She saw how mercilessly her n was being butchered.

    " Father, Father... pleasee here. I am scared." Bai Ruxue wept as she hid in the corner. Suddenly she felt someone dragged her. It was her mother.

    " Listen Ruxue, The moment I give you the signal, Run. Give your life on running. AND DO NOT TURN BACK." Her mother''s tone was hoarse. She looked around vigntly.

    " Sniff" Sniff" " But mother, How-"

    " Shhhh." Her mother closed her mouth.

    " I won''t leave you alone." Bai Ruxue prostrated.

    " Silly girl, You go first. I wille a bitter. If I don''te, Don''te back looking for me. I have my own method." Her mother said affectionately as she rubbed Ruxue''s head. But her eyes given up all hope.

    " Arrrgh. Madam, You should Go now." A Bai n soldier shouted as he killed a member of Mei n.

    " Hurry up, Ruxue, Run. Just remember one thing, Don''t die. You are only able to do something if you live. Now, Go, RUN." Her mother gave a kiss on Ruxue''s forehead and pushed her.

    Subconsciously, Bai Ruxue''s leg moved backward as she started to run. Only once, She looked back and saw her mother was waving her with a helpless smile.

    " Ahaha, Here is she." Capture her." Bai Ruxue started by the sudden roar. She mustered her courage and stopped running. She hid in a bush and looked back.

    " Madam, You should also run." The guard shouted.

    " I won''t able to escape." Her mother smiled helplessly. A group of burly people reached from afar.

    " Bastards of Mei n. ARRRGH." The guard''s eyes were bloodshot. He rushed toward the group.

    " Fuckimg insects." A man with blue robed sneered as he shed his longsword.

    " Keheeuk." The guard screamed as the longsword pierced the heart of the guard.

    " My My, Bai Xie''s wife is surely beautiful. Kek, What a bastard. He couldn''t take care of such beauty. But afraid not, miss. We will look after you." The man lecherously said.

    " I will never lets you vermins to tarnish me, NEVER!" Ruxue''s mother venomously said as she took her her hairpin and stabbed in her throat.

    " No." The man tried to seize the hairpin, but he was toote. Ruxue''s mother''s skin turned blue immediately. Evidently, The hairpin was smeared with lethal poison.

    " Fuck this bitch. We couldn''t even taste her." A burly man said with frustration.

    " Mother. MOTHER." Bai Ruxue''s eyes widened by the scene. " No, no no no no no no. NOO." Bai Ruxue wept.

    " Hahaha, Elder, Look what we got." Another man was dragging a woman by her hair.

    " Let me go, you Bastards.Arrgh." The woman screamed as the man mmed her face on the ground.

    " Hahaha, Not bad. You did a good job. This bitch also good to fuck. Hahaha." The burly manughed.

    " You- You don''te near me. No, Nooo." The woman cried hysterically. The burly man took off his pants as he tore apart the clothes of that woman.

    " No, No. Aunt. No." Bai Ruxue bit her lips till blood seeped from it.

    " Mhm, Good big jugs." The burly man cackled as the woman cried painfully. Among devilishughter and painful moaning, Bai Ruxue saw one by one, Dozens of people raped her aunt.

    " I will kill you all. I swore to heaven that one day, I would repay this hundred fold. I will do anything, But I will have my revenge." Bai Ruxue screamed as she looked at the dark sky.

    ...............................................

    " Miss, We have reached our destination." The carriage driver said. Bai Ruxue looked at the giant building in front of her. Its name was Gold and Jade Inn.

    " I am screwed this time." Bai Ruxue thought bitterly.

    " Ah, You must be the esteemed guest. Please, Come inside." A waitress of the inn smiled at Bai Ruxue as she showed her way to a room.

    " Here, Young Master master is very eager to meet you." The waitress smiled.

    " Young Master, Huh? I wonder which rich bastard it is?" Bai Ruxue thought as she pushed the door.

    The hall was almost dark, But a small candle was still illuminating some parts of the room. Bai Ruxue felt a shiver as she entered the room. She felt a monster is lurking in the darkness, Preparing to devour her.

    " I-Is anyone here?" Bai Ruxue asked with a low voice. She saw a dark dagger was lying on the table, on the side of the candle. The dagger was giving off a grim aura. Like it has been washed by the blood. Bai Ruxue picked it up with haste like it will save him from all the dangers.

    " Mmmnf. Mnfgnf." A muffled voice started Bai Ruxue. She took the candle and slowly went toward the direction of the voice.

    " Kyaah." Bai Ruxue suddenly screamed out of fear as she saw three persons in tattered clothes lying on a corner. Their face was covered with ck cloth, so she could see who are they.

    Not suppressing her curiosity, Bai Ruxue took off one''s mask. Her expression froze in an instant as she saw the face of the person. Her grip around the dagger tightened.

    " Yo-You." She stammered as she hastily took off the masks of the other two persons.

    Her frozen face regained her emotion as her eyes became crescent shaped.

    " Pffft." Sheughed.

    " Hahahaha. AHAHAHAH. You motherfucking damned bastards. Finally. Ahahahaha." Bai Ruxueughed wildly.

    .......................

    ||In a dark corner||

    " Fuck, She is giving me goosebumps." Yang Shi shivered as she heard the maniacughter of Bai Ruxue.

 Chapter 86: Grudge of a woman(2)

    Chapter 86: Grudge of a woman(2)

    Bai Ruxue''s eyes turned bloodshot as she scanned the three men. They were no other than Bai Xuan, Mi n patriarch, and mei n''s first elder. Bai Ruxue became mad in anger as she kicked the abdomen of the Mei n''s patriarch.

    " Kheuk!." The man groaned as blood seeped from his mouth. He seemed to be in a dazed state.

    " Get up, You old bastard." Bai Ruxue stabbed the dagger in his thigh.

    " ARRRGH." The patriarch screamed as his eyes snapped open.

    " Yo-You... You are Bai Ruxue. Damnit." The patriarch looked at the girl and said with astonishment.

    " You bastard, Finally, I got you." Bai Ruxue had lost her sanity. She kept stabbing and stabbing his body.

    " GUAAAH!" The patriarch let out an agonizing cry as blood sshed on Bai Ruxue''s hand.

    " Yes, Scream, you bastard, Scream. I still remember, What you did to my aunt. No matter how she begged, You didn''t let her go. ARRRGH." Bai Ruxue stabbed the chest of the Mei n''s patriarch and violently twisted it.

    " ARRRRGH!" The eyes of the patriarch rolled as he cried of extreme pain. He wanted to faint, But the pain kept him awake.

    He tried to circte his spiritual qi, but since Yang Shi had destroyed his dantian, He couldn''t do it. He was nothing more than a mortal, with just a more powerful physique. But still, he couldn''t endure.

    " And you, You think I forgot about you?" The emotionless eyes of Bai Ruxue stared at Bai Xuan. Bai Xuan''s eyes showed a sign of fear.

    " Wa-wait, Ruxue, I am not an aplice in this. I was forced...."

    " Shut the fuck up, You traitor." Bai Ruxue pped Bai Xuan. The impact was so great that a tooth fell out of his mouth. But Bai Xuan was at the fourth stage of Primordial Spirit Realm, so his body was much tougher than Ruxue''s. Ruxue''s palm became blood red. One could see some faint traces of blood. But Bai Ruxue didn''t mind it.

    " Who sold the escape routes of our n? Who sold the battle formation of our soldiers? Who sold the information about my father, Who went to Deep Sky Forest? WHO?!" Bai Ruxue kicked the face of Bai Xuan, making him tumbled down.

    " Ha, My father was already suspicious of your activities. But who had thought that...die. JUST DIE ALREADY." Bai Ruxue stabbed the chest of Bai Xuan like a sewing machine pokes needle. She even scratched the face of Bai Xuan, making one of his eyes go blind.

    " GUAAHHHH.ARRRGGHHHH. please, Have merc- ARRRRGH." No matter how much time Bai Xuan apologized, Bai Ruxue''s answer was always another stab. All of Bai Xuan''s body became filled with stab wounds.

    Bai Xuan could only lie on the ground, as he doesn''t even have the energy to move his finger. Finally, Her eyes fell on the first elder of the Mei n.

    " You see, I kept you to thest. I want to torture you so much, That even death would look like a divine boon." The tone of Bai Ruxue''s became calm, But each of her sentences carried coldness of thousand-year ice.

    The first elder raised his brow as he looked at Bai Ruxue.

    " You? You are nothing more than a runaway bitch." The elder mocked. Bai Ruxue didn''t show any expression. The elder''s eyes were filled with mockery.

    " You are a beast. No, Calling you a beast would be an offense to them." Bai Ruxue said with an emotionless tone.

    " Pah, Whatever you say, But you can''t deny that I have tasted your aunt. Hahaha, She was whore. She was captivated by my cock. Hahahaha, She begged me so much to fuck her. Hahaha, and your mother had also a sexy body. Hahaha. Too bad, She killed herself."

    The first elder bbered. Seeing that death is near him, He becamepletely fearless as he spat on Bai Ruxue.

    " This is the thing you are proud of?" Bai Ruxue looked at the crotch of First Elder.

    " Why? Wanna try it? The elder sneered.

    " Indeed, I want to. Let''s see how durable your thing is." Saying this, Bai Ruxue stomped on his crotch.

    " ARRRRGGGHG. GUAAAH." The first elder rolled on the ground as he screamed inhumanly. Anybody who will hear the scream would feel their scalp going numb.

    " Oh, Pretty strong. Let''s see it again." Bai Ruxue mocked as she stomped again. The lower abdomen part of the first elder became dyed with blood. There is even a lump of bloodied meat lying on the ground.

    " You didn''t just raped my aunt, you raped her to death. Then you took the bare body of my mother and my aunt and hung them above the Bai n mansion. You even wrote - The bodies of two sluts." Bai Ruxue said as her eyes turned red with anger.

    " Now, Face the retribution." Bai Ruxue screamed as she kicked the crotch of the first elder, with the edge of her show, almost making a cave there.

    " Cry, Cry more." Bai Ruxue stabbed his heart then dragged the knife downward.

    " GUAAAAHHHH. YOU BITC- ARRRRHGH. HAAHAHH- ARRRRRGH." The first elder didn''tst longer than a minute under such torture and died.

    Bai Ruxue almost cut apart the upper ribcage of the first elder of the Mei n.

    " Mo-Mother, Father, Aunt. I did it. I-I killed those bastards. Your daughter did it. Haaahaaah, I have repaid the blood of the Bai n. I..." Before she could mutter anything, she slumped on the ground and fainted.

    ............................................

    From a dark corner, Yang Shi was watching all the things. He let Bai Ruxue take his Dark twilight dagger and waited to see what reaction she will give, after looking at the trio.

    Yang Shi thought she will give them swift death, But he was very much surprised to see the amount of resentment Bai Ruxue kept in her heart.

    A girl who never harmed anyone, Gave the trio the most gruesome death. The toil was too big for Bai Ruxue, both physically and mentally.

    Yang Shi rushed after Bai Ruxue fainted. He carried her to his bedroom andid her on his bed. " You did better than expected. Now, sleep well. This is just a bad dream" Yang Shi grinned.

    He looked at the three corpses and sighed. " Grudge of a woman can make snowfall in the middle of the desert."

    He tossed arge fireball over the trio''s body, burning them to ashes. Yang Shi''s fire was enough to refine ores of a Spirit grade weapon, much less a primordial spirit realm cultivator.

    After an incense stick of time, Yang Shi sprinkled some water over Bai Ruxue''s face. " Mnngh." Bai Ruxue grunted as her eyessh fluttered. Slowly opening her eyes, he saw a handsome youth with purple eyes.

    " You." Bai Ruxue''s eyes widened with shock.

    " Ah, It seems miss Ruxue remembers me." Yang Shi smiled.

    " I am very grateful to the young master Yang." Bai Ruxue hurriedly got up on the bed as she thanked Yang Shi.

    " The first thing I want to ask you, Do you want tomit suicide?" Yang Shi asked with a smiling face.

    " Huh?" Bai Ruxue was taken aback by such a weird question.

    " I mean, Since you have gotten your revenge, You might be willing to end your miserable life et." Yang Shi smiled. Bai Ruxue finally understood the hidden meaning of Yang Shi''s word.

    " No, Young Master. I have made a promise to you. The moment I killed hoes bastards, I have chosen to be your servant, no, ve." Bai Ruxue said with resoluteness. She remembered what she said in the Hundred Flower Pavilion.

    I will live. I will strive to be strong. I will sell my body, My soul, I will be someone''s eternal ve, But I will take my revenge.

    " So, You are ready to be my ve?" Yang Shi''s grin got wider. Bai Ruxue closed her eyes and nodded, " Yes, From today, I will the ve of Young Master Yang Shi." She bowed her head.

    " Very good. So, take off your clothes." Yang Shi gavemand quickly. Bai Ruxue''s ear perked up.

    Although she knew about Yang Shi''s desires, she never thought that it wille so soon.

 Chapter 87: Lets take bath together

    Chapter 87: Let''s take bath together

    " Umm..." Bai Ruxue became embarrassed, But since she made the deal with the devil, She can''t refuse.

    " What? Why are you thinking so long? Have you seen your body state?" Yang Shi pointed his finger at her body. Bai Ruxue looked bellow and saw her beautiful dress was quenched by blood. The blood of his enemies dried on her palms, giving off a bad stench.

    " Kyaaah." She screamed. Women are naturally cleanliness loving creatures. She couldn''t endure the blood on her body.

    " Kek, You even ruined my bedsheet." Yang Shi snorted. Bai Ruxue saw that while she was lying unconscious, the bedsheet also got tainted by blood.

    " I am so sorry, Young master. I will clean this." Bai Ruxue hurriedly stood as she apologized to Yang Shi.

    " Ah!" Bai Ruxue suddenly got caught off guard as Yang Shi''s arm wrapped her waist and pulled her towards him. Yang Shi''s face was so close that Bai Ruxue could feel his hot breath.

    " Is he gonna do it? Will I lose my virginity tonight?" Bai Ruxue''s heart was pounding like galloping horses.

    " Ruxue, You see.." Yang Shi''s face turned serious.

    " Yes, Young Master." Bai Ruxue hastily nodded.

    " You call *Young Master* so sweetly. It''s good to have such a girl. Keke." Yang Shi smirked.

    "..."

    Bai Ruxue could only snort in her heart. Yang Shiughed as he let her go.

    " Ruxue!" Yang Shi called again.

    " Yes, Young Master." Bai Ruxue hurriedly replied.

    " Let''s take a bath together." Yang Shi said with a serious face. Bai Ruxue could only fulfill her master''s order.

    " Now, Take off my clothes." Yang Shi spread her arm as he ordered Bai Ruxue. Bai Ruxue sighed as she moved forward and took off Yang Shi''s outer robe and inner robe. A healthy masculine body came to her vision.

    Yang Shi''s upper body was creamy white and sturdy. It wasn''t like any bodybuilder, But the outlines of his muscles are perfect. The first time seeing the robust body of Yang Shi, Bai Ruxue''s cheeks got red.

    " What? Am I that handsome?" Yang Shiughed as he looked at Bai Ruxue.

    "Ah, Yes, I mean no. No, I mean, Yes." Bai Ruxue''s face got hot as she bbered.

    " Well, What about my pants?" Yang Shi asked. Bai Ruxue clenched her fists as she stared at Yang Shi''s thighs.

    " You can do it." Bai Ruxue''s tried to firm her mind as she tried to take off her pants. Suddenly, Yang Shi grabbed her hands.

    " Hahahaha, Look at your face. Your cheeks are like a red apple." Yang Shi pinched the cheeks of Bai Ruxue.

    " Young Master, Don''t tease me like this." Bai Ruxue stomped her feet as she protested.

    " Well, well, I am going first. Don''t bete." Yang Shi turned back, Took off his pants, took a towel, and went to the bathroom.

    Bai Ruxue averted her gaze, but she still saw the bare back of Yang Shi. Broad shoulders, a firm back and...Round buttock. Ruxue''s face burned as she looked away.

    " Does this man has no shame? Running naked in front of a maiden. But wait, I am his servant, so... No, still, he is shameless." Bai Ruxue gave an evaluation to Yang Shi.

    " Sigh, Till when I would able to preserver my virginity." Bai Ruxue sighed as she headed to the bathroom.

    The bathroom was just a bit smaller than the dining room. The bathtub was big enough to amodate five peoples. Like modern earth, There were options for hot water and cold water.

    There is also an option for steam mode.

    " As expected from a sky tier room. Everything is luxurious." Yang Shi turned on the hot water and steam mode. He remained outside most of the time, So he hadn''t used the bathroom of Gold and Jade Inn.

    This sky tier room is no different than a seven-star luxurious hotel on the Earth. It has even more spiritual qi than outside. Yang Shi felt his money isn''t wasted. The bathtub was hot and steamy. When Yang Shi was enjoying the warm water, an embarrassed voice started him.

    " Young Master, May Ie in?" Bai Ruxue asked softly from outside. " Yes, Hurry up ande." Yang Shi got excited by bathing together with such a beautiful girl.

    The door opened. Bai Ruxue stepped in while wrapping a towel on her body. It barely covered her upper part of the chest, while she is clenching the bottom of the towel to hide her private part.

    Yang Shi''s little brother has already awoken from slumber and stood proudly, But since the room was quite steamy, Bai Ruxue didn''t see that. She slowly entered the bathtub while clutching the towel.

    Yang Shi pretended to be displeased, " What? Are you going to take bath while wearing a towel? Remove that immediately."

    " Young Master, I-" Bai Ruxue''s eyes became misty. Although she knew that such a thing would happen sooner orter, still she was quite unwilling.

    " <em>Mmm...I guess I have to take things slowly. As ancient sages say- Don''t eat hot porridge from the middle, savor it from the side.</em>" Yang Shi pondered.

    " Well, I will turn <em>around.</em> You help me with washing my body from the back. Is that ok?" Yang Shi grinned. Bai Ruxue became surprised. " S<em>ince when he has became so considerate?</em>" But since it was good for her, she nodded her head.

    Water sshed over Yang Shi''s back as soft palms of Ruxue began to scrub it. Yang Shi felt his body got electrode.

    " Mhmm, Your hands are quite skillful." Yang Shi smiled as he praised Bai Ruxue.

    " I often took bath with my aunt. She was like a big sister to me. I help her wash her body, so, I am quite experienced." Bai Ruxue softly said. She took a deep sigh after recalling the tragedy.

    " Well, It''s not easy to forget the past, but learning from it and moving forward is the best option we have." Yang Shi said seriously.

    " I understand. But still..." Bai Ruxue said with a tinge of sadness.

    " Let me ask you something, What''s your n for the future? I mean, Have considered the proposal I gave you?" Yang Shi asked.

    " What? Haven''t I be your maid?" Bai Ruxue said while casting a side-eye. Yang Shi''s face turned odd. He lifted his arm to back and gave slight bonk on Ruxue''s head.

    " Ah." Ruxue cried softly as she rubbed her head.

    " Silly girl, I am asking about changing your Pure Yin Maiden physique to the legendary Nine Yin Empearyan Physique." Yang Shi replied.

    " Oh, About that? I thought you are just bluffing back then." Bai Ruxue said.

    "....." Yang Shi became speechless. Understanding him, Bai Ruxue hurriedly said, " Of course, I believe in Young master."

    " So, Will you learn it?" Yang Shi asked.

    " To be honest, I don''t have anyone in this world, except Young Master Yang Shi. I will do everything, as Young Master orders." Bai Ruxue said. Unknowingly, She got closed to Yang Shi''s back.

    " Ahh." Yang Shi''s felt he was in heaven as the two soft rabbits of Bai Ruxue touched it back. He felt very soft a squishy. Yang Shi''s little brother stood up again. Thankfully, Bai Ruxue was only seeing her back.

    " Why use only hands When you have such a wonderful thing to massage my back?" Yang Shi muttered.

    " Did you said anything? Young Master?" Bai Ruxue asked.

    " Ahaha, Nothing. Ok, now it''s my turn to wash you?" Yang Shi grinned evilly.

    " What?"

 Chapter 88: Its your fault...

    Chapter 88: Its your fault...

    " What are you saying, Young master? It''s very inappropriate for you, to wash me. I am your servant after all." Bai Ruxue flustered as she tried to move away from this topic.

    " What now? We should help each other. Hmm, Rather than a servant, I see you like my assistant." Yang Shi said with a light tone.

    " I am quite happy to hear that." Bai Ruxue said as she used her hands to wash Yang Shi''s chest from behind.

    " Hahahaha, You are tickling me." Yang Shi''s body quivered.

    " You feel tickle? I thought you are quite powerful." Bai Ruxueughed as she increased her pace.

    " Whats matter about being powerful? Its bodily reacti-Kuahahaha, stop it. Ahahaha." Yang Shi cramped as he rolling the bathtub. This time, Bai Ruxue really began to tickle him.

    " Ahahahaha." After a long time, Bai Ruxueughed.

    Hearing herughter, Yang Shi smiled. " She is getting out of her trauma."

    " Eh?" Suddenly Yang Shi''s eyes twitched as his body trembled. " Wait, wait, Where is she touching?" While tickling Yang Shi''s waist, Bai Ruxue''s palms identally slid bellow as she grabbed the little brother Yang Shi.

    Bai Ruxue''sughter stopped as she frowned. " What''s this?" She shooked it. She felt weird as the thing in her hand was solid and throbbing crazily.

    " Kheuuuk!." Yang Shi''s felt his vein is popping out. Instinctively, he cramped his thigh, But it became worse. Bai Ruxue''s palm sandwiched between his thing as the grip became strong.

    " Did you brought a dagger in the bath? Young Master?" Bai Ruxue asked.

    " That''s not a dagger. Khuuk, That''s my--" Salive dropped from his mouth as Yang Shi suppressed his inner beast.

    " Ahh." Bai Ruxue hurridly retracted her arm as she finally understood what she was grabbing.

    " I am- I am so sorry, Young Master. I didn''t know it was your... I mean, I didn''t know." Bai Ruxue''s face was beet red. Her face became so hot that she felt the water on it was vaporizing.

    " I-Its fine." Yang Shi doesn''t have any other word. He tried to calm his hot rod, But it got stimted so much that it was hardly calming down.

    " Mmm, Now you turn back. I will wash you." Yang Shi said with an evil chuckle. " Kek, I will have my revenge." Yang Shi thought.

    Bai Ruxue didn''t think it was a good idea. But she can''t refuse. Yang Shi turned behind and saw Bai Ruxue''s wless white back. For some time, Yang Shi just looked at it without blinking. Feeling something amiss, Bai Ruxue asked, " What happened, Young Master?"

    " N-Nothing. I am just thinking." Yang Shi slowly said.

    " Thinking what?" Bai Ruxue asked again.

    " Just how beautiful you are!." Yang Shi said truthfully this time. She is more beautiful than any A-grade actress of Earth. And moreover, It''s her natural beauty, Not any artificial makeup.

    " Youn Master, You are ttering me." Bai Ruxue blushed.

    " No, No. I am telling the truth." Yang Shi hurriedly said.

    " I-." Bai Ruxue suddenly felt happy.

    Yang Shi sshed water on her back as he gently began to wash it. " Mmm, Your skin is so soft. Like a cushion." Yang Shi praised.

    Yang Shi moved closed to her, But then, he felt weird. " Young Master, Your...Something is poking my back." Bai Ruxue said with a flustered tone.

    " Well, It''s your fault. You teased my little cousin and left him standing." Yang Shi grinned as he shamelessly said.

    "....." Bai Ruxue could hardly say anything on this.

    Yang Shi grinned evilly as his hands grabbed the willowy waist or Bai Ruxue and pilled her back.

    " Ahh, Young Master! What are you doing?" Bai Ruxue became surprised. Yang Shi suddenly grabbed the twin bunnies of Bai Ruxue and began to massage it. He had to admit that she has huge jugs.

    " Ahnn...Young Master, St-Stop- I-t." Bai Ruxue felt a current through her body as she moaned lowly. Yang Shi subconsciously gave a kiss on Bai Ruxue''s neck. His purplish eyes shed with dreamy light.

    He kissed her neck and licked her earlobe.

    " Ah...No...Sto...Stop...it." Bai Ruxue''s closed her eyes. She could barely speak as a strange sense of pleasure flooded in her mind.

    " Ah, No." She snapped opened her eyes and hurriedly got up.

    " Yo-Young master has washed me enough. I will go now." She wrapped her towel wildly and walked away.

    " Hmm, What a perky butts." Yang Shi grinned as he looked at the departing Bai Ruxue, with a strange eyes.

    " Huh? Wha-What happened now?" Focus returned to hie purple eyes as he wondered.

    " Wait a minute? How did I do that so skillfully?" Yang Shi wondered. If anyone else saw the scene back then, They could bet that Yang Shi is a veteran in terms of techniques to please women, But Yang Shi could swear on his life that he is a pure virgin.

    He never even thought about such things, let alone doing the practical. In both life, He never had such an experience with any girl.

    " Fuck, It''s like my body acted to pure instinct. It''s like I have done such things like a thousand times." Yang Shi scratched his head.

    " Shameless pervert. Learn about taking responsibility." The Golden egg snorted.

    " What responsibility? It''s not I have done *That*.

    And about shamelessness, Aren''t quite shameless to peek on my body?" Yang Shi said, casting a side-eye.

    " Hmph, Who wants to see your naked body?" The Golden egg chided. " It looks like she ran away." Yang Shi grinned.

    " Aiiz, Enough bath. It''s time for business." Yang Shi also got up. Unknown to him, The Crimson Lily in his Dantian is dancing wildly.

    ..........................................

    " Well, You are teaching him a lot of bad stuffs, Huh?" Hong''er said, Looking at Samsara Emperor.

    " What? I didn''t do anything. It was The Evil Lily''s petal of Lust. Moreover, Yang Shi''s Nine Saints Extreme Yang Physique has a strong attraction toward the Yin physique." Samsara Emperor shrugged.

    " Oh really? Why do I think that it''s the effect of your memory, subconsciously affecting that poor child." Hong''er smirked.

    " THINK WHAT YOU LIKE." Samsara Emperor scoffed. He couldn''t admit such thing, Even someone kills him.

 Chapter 89: Good Sword

    Chapter 89: Good Sword

    " Ok, Ruxue. I am going to pass you the Jade Empreayan Heavenly Art." Yang Shi said solemnly.

    " This technique can''t be graded by norms. This is the most suitable cultivation technique for you. With this, You will be like a tiger with wings." Yang Shi exined to her.

    " This technique will refine your innate Yin qi. It will change your physique. The most important thing is that you haven''t reached the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. Otherwise, Changing your physique would have been difficult."

    " Let me chant the incantation. While chanting it, You must let your qi follow the way I taught you, understand?" Yang Shi was surprised as Bai Ruxue remembered the incantation on the second try.

    " Young Master, I can understand the first six ways of qi channeling, But from that, I can''t maintain my spiritual Qi in control." Bai Ruxue said with some hesitation.

    " Chanel the Qi, ording I say." Yang Shi poked his finger on the left palm, Then drew the line over her shoulder. Bai Ruxue felt ticklish but seeing the serious face of Yang Shi, she suppressed it.

    Yang Shi moved her finger to her Dantian region, Sliding an inch below her belly button. Then he poked on her beast and said, " From there till your heart, Circte the qi, till it bes faint green."

    Bai Ruxue''s face was flustered, But sh didn''t mind much. " What? We have already seen each other naked in the bath. He also touched all my ces. But since he is teaching me sincerely, Why should I back down?" Bai Ruxue firmed her mind as she did as Yang Shi instructed.

    " Mhmm, You are doing good. Now practice for some time and go to sleep." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Where are you going? Young Master?" Bai Ruxue asked.

    " Me? I am just going to practice my art. Don''t wait for me. Go to sleep early." Yang Shi said as he entered his forging room.

    " Hmph, This time, I will make a Spirit Grade treasure. Ok, So trial number 31- BEGIN." me zed on Yang Shi''s palm as he lit the furnace of the forging table.

    " Five color ore, ck northern metal, Red phoenix rock..." Yang Shi muttered as he continuously threw metals and ores into the furnace. With a swing of the arm, The intensity of fire became high.

    He took out the billet and hammered it continuously. It looked like a flexible longsword.

    " Ok, herees the main part." Yang Shi took a deep breath, took the carving pen, and started carving. Yang Shi''s hand moved like the flow of water,pletely smooth. Yang Shi was carving with closed eyes, feeling the shape of the Spirit diagram by heart.

    He was sweating bullets as an unknown amount of time passed. " Fuuuh." Yang Shi took a deep breath as dizziness assaulted him. But still, Heughed.

    " Finally, HAHAHAHAHA. A Spirit grade sword. I MADE IT." Yang Shi was very happy. The sword was shining with a silver light. He took the sword as infused his spiritual Qi. A pale violet glow spread on the de. Yang Shi did a swing, The sword moved like an agile snake. It was strong yet flexible, fast, and sharp.

    " A two diagram Spirit grade sword. Not Bad." Samsara Emperor nodded. " But I will call this luck." He added.

    " What? You call this luck? Wait, I will make another Spirit grade weapon right away." Yang Shi became enraged as he went to refine another weapon. Unfortunately, only after five failures, Yang Shi managed to make another Spirit grade sword.

    " Fuck, It''s more difficult than I thought." Yang Shi was dead tired. " Huh? It''s dawn already? Ugh, I need some rest." Yang Shi opened the door and went back to his bedroom.

    " Huh?" He became surprised. He saw Bai Ruxue sat in a meditative position, revolving the Qi as he instructed.

    " What a hard working girl! I never thought that she was this persistent." Yang Shi smiled. He didn''t want to disturb her, so he moved a little aside and slept soundly. After some time, Bai Ruxue opened her eyes and saw Yang Shi was sleeping by her side.

    " Huh? Why Young master is sweating so much? He must have worked hard." Bai Ruxue took out a towel and wiped the face of Yang Shi.

    ..............................................

    " Mmm, What time is it?" Yang Shi got up. " Eh? Sun almost reached the middle? Fuck, I slept too much." Yang Shi scratched his head.

    " Ah, Young Master! You are awake?" A voice started him.

    " Please wash your face, I have prepared lunch for you." Bai Ruxue wore an ordinary gown, looks like she borrowed it from someone.

    " Ah, My clothes got bloodied yesterday. I asked a waitress to buy it from outside." Bai Ruxue coughed as she exined.

    " Hmm, Well, After I finish the meal, We will go out shopping?" Yang Shi said.

    " Eh? So many dishes?" Yang Shi''s eyes gleamed as he looked at the table. Rice, Meat, soup, and dessert.

    " Wow! Did you make this all?" Yang Shi hurriedly grabbed the chopsticks as he asked. Fromst night, He was very tired and hungry. No way he will wait anymore.

    " Hmm!" Yang Shi''s eyes gleamed after he took a few bites.

    " How is it? Youg Master?" Ruxue asked nervously.

    " Fuck, It tastes awesome. I didn''t know that you are such a fine cook!" Yang Shi praised as he gulped down the foods.

    " I am happy that food is your likable." Bai Ruxue smiled happily.

    " By the way, Here, take this." Yang Shi threw a long sword at the Ruxue. Ruxue caught the sword and unsheathed it. " Wow, Such a beautiful sword." Bai Ruxue eximed. A silvery glow reflected on the sword.

    " Now try to infuse your spiritual Qi in the sword and swing it." Yang Shi said. Bai Ruxue nodded as she did what Yang Shi said. A faint purple aura appeared on it as Bai Ruxue swung it like lightning.

    " Crack." The table Yang Shi was eating on, shed in half. The food and the table crashed.

    " I-I am so sorry, Young Master Yang." Bai Ruxue hurriedly bowed as she apologized.

    " Well, Its fine." Yang Shi waved his hand." So, How did you felt?" He asked.

    " I felt my Qi is gliding through the sword. There isn''t any resistance at all. It''s perfectly harmonizing with my Qi." Bai Ruxue said.

    "It''s made especially for you. Now, Get ready. We are going for shopping." Yang Shi got up.

 Chapter 90: Time to clean up a bit

    Chapter 90: Time to clean up a bit

    " Wow, I never know that this city was this big!" Bai Ruxue eximed as she ran on the streets. Yang Shi scratched his head as he apanied her.

    " Isn''t the same expression I gave, When I arrived at Misty Tower City." Yang Shi thought.

    " Ooh, What''s This?" Bai Ruxue asked a street vendor.

    " Ah, Young Miss has kneen eye. This neckless is a precious treasure of a female cultivator of the peak stage of Violet Pce Expansion realm. You can see yourself." The street vendor said enthusiasm.

    " Really? Let me see it." Bai Ruxue held the neckless. It was a pure golden color, With various gems embedded in it. Bai Ruxue felt a surge of energy after holding the neckless.

    " Hmm, I can feel the energy." Bai Ruxue nodded.

    " Yes, As you can see, there is a special kind of energy sealed in it. Wearing this neckless would help you in your cultivation. This only cost 50,000 gold coins." The vendor nodded.

    " 50,000?!!" Bai Ruxue''s eyes popped out. In her n, 50,000 gold coins are considered to be a huge sum.

    " Heh, 50,000 gold coins? Here." Yang Shi threw a pouch to the vendor.

    " Ahaha, Thank you, Young Master. Miss and Young''s master looks like a pair made by heaven." The vendor smiled.

    " Young Master, But, It''s too costly." Bai Ruxue nervously said.

    " Hmm, This will look fine on you." Yang Shi put the neckless on Bai Ruxue''s neck from behind.

    " I-" Bai Ruxue''s heart jumped like newborn fowl. She felt an indescribable happiness.

    " By the way, Does it really going to help me with my cultivation?" Bai Ruxue asked.

    " No." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Huh?" Bai Ruxue paused. "It''s fake." Yang Shiughed.

    " WHAT? YOU KNEW THAT IT WAS FAKE, AND YET YOU BOUGHT IT WITH 50000 GOLD COINS?!!" Bai Ruxue almost fainted.

    "It''s just 50,000 gold coins." Yang Shi shrugged. His worth was a hundred times more than it. " And, Aren''t you happy?" Yang Shi looked at her.

    " Hehe." Bai Ruxue giggled as she didn''t say anything else. " Hmm?" Yang Shi scanned his surrounding. The market was bustling. Everyone was minding their own business. After some time, Yang Shi retracted his gaze. " Heh, They are sure fast." Yang Shi smirked.

    " What happened, Young Master?" Bai Ruxue asked.

    " Ah, nothing. Here, The cloth store is here." Yang Shi pointed at a tall building as he dragged Bai Ruxue there.

    " Wee customers. How can I help you?" a beautifuldy came smiling. " Please show me your most expensive clothes." Yang Shi said.

    " As young master wishes." Thedy hastily nodded. Cultivators are also living beings. They need food and cloth to live in. This shop was famous in the whole city, for its fine quality clothes. They also make dresses with fur and skin of Ferocious beats and Demonic beasts.

    These clothes can be called a priceless treasure, Which not only beautiful but can be used as body armor.

    " Ah, A blue robe embroidered with golden stripes. Yes, I want this. And, I want that ck robe. Yes, The in one." Yang Shi brought a costly robe. One is a fancy robe and the other one is in.

    " Look at this, Ruxue. This will look fine on you." Yang Shi gave a green colored dress to Bai Ruxue.

    " Hmm, Am I looking good?" Bai Ruxue asked after she put it on. Yang Shi was a bit flustered. Bai Ruxue looked like a fairy from heaven.

    " You look amazing!" Yang Shi praised her, But his eyes narrowed in instant. A middle aged man came to buy some clothes, He paid coins and left.

    In normal view, It isn''t any strange thing. But since Yang Shi had his Godly vision and Celestial vire technique, He saw much more than it.

    This middle aged man was following them from the beginning. After he entered the shop, he took a small bamboo slip along with the cloth. One of the shop employees is also in this group.

    " Hey, Ruxue, You go ahead. I will be there in a minute." Yang Shi said. Bai Ruxue nodded. Yang Shi paid the money but remained in the shop.

    " It seems, You have messed with the wrong person." Yang Shi''s face turned cold. After a few minutes, He exited the shop and vanished among the crowd.

    " Hey, Look! We got her." Two young men were sitting at the table of a restaurant, But after seeing Ruxue passing by, They paid their bill and left.

    An old woman was sweeping the leaves, But she stopped sweeping and started walking toward Ruxue.

    " Huh? Why are closing the shop so suddenly?" A person asked. " Ah, I just have some work to do." A ck-clothed old manughed. But strangely, His eyes were fixed upon Ruxue, like a predator looking at its prey.

    The old woman sped up, twisting her broomstick, tried to whack the head of Bai Ruxue.

    " Aha, Granny! I finally found you!" A voice started that old woman. Before she could react, a thin red line appeared on her neck. She couldn''t even scream as her eyes became lifeless.

    The young man put an arm over her shoulder and said, " Ah, I know are so happy to see your grandson after so many years. Let''s talk somewhere else." Yang Shi dragged the old woman away.

    The two young men from the restaurant halted their steps as they are dumbfounded by the new development. They looked at the shop keeper old man. The old man nodded as he went after Yang Shi.

    As he entered a small, solitary alley, He lost the track of Yang Shi.

    " Hmm, Are trying to find me, Old geezer?" A voice started the old man in ck. His eyes narrowed as he threw dozens of flying needles in a certain direction.

    " Tsk, Such a good skill." The young man scowled.

    " Brat, You don''t know. Who are you messing with." The Old man spoke gravely.

    " And your stupid Second Prince doesn''t know, Whom he is messing with." The Young man smiled. The Old man was taken aback a bit. He didn''t know that this young man could casually reveal his background.

    " Since you know, Allow me to give you a swift death." The old man coldly said as few silver needles appeared in his hands.

    *Sew sews sew sew* the needles disappeared as it shot toward Yang Shi like silvery rays. Yang Shi took out his longsword and waved with a strange rhythm.

    *Ding ding ding ding ding ding*

    With a metallic sound, Yang Shi''s longsword deflected the needles. As the old man was going throw more, He suddenly froze. He felt a deadly pressure, Like a primordial beast was looking at him, Preparing to rip him to shreds.

    " No." He screamed, But then he felt, It was all illusion. The confusionsted for only a second, as with a sh of light, The road of alley died with crimson.

    " Heart of ughter is just perfect for a surprise attack." Yang Shi muttered. " Now, It''s the number of those two clowns." Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as he wiped out the blood from his Longsword.

    Chapter 91: War God Frenzy

    " Damn, Where is Silver Lightning?" One of the young men mumbled as he looked behind.

    "The first brother, It seems something is wrong." Another young man said. If someone looked at them from behind, They would look like the reflection of each other. They are basically twins.

    " I guess, One of us should go and check." The younger brother said with some hesitation.

    " Fool, Our opponent is very strong. Hasn''t the prince warned us to be careful? I think we better stay together." The elder brother snorted.

    " Let''s eliminate the trouble first." Both of them said simultaneously.

    " Eh? They suddenly got separated?" Yang Shi became surprised. " It seems one gonna watch overBai Ruxue and another gonna fight with me?" Yang Shi rubbed his chin.

    " Well, Isn''t it better?" Yang Shi rushed after the younger brother.

    " Hmm? Where is-" Yang Shi suddenly bent forward out of intuition as the swift wind passed by.

    " Heh, You are better than I thought1" A voice mocked. Yang Shi didn''t look at the voice as he dodged another attack. Strangely, This attack came from the opposite direction of the voice.

    " You got some nasty trick, haven''t you? Yang Shi sneered as he unsheathed his Longsword.

    *Whimmm* Yang Shi did a backward thrust with his sword.

    *CLANG* A metallic sound resounded as a figure hopped backward. Yang Shi didn''t give him a chance to escape. His body twisted like an agile cat as he shed at the young man.

    " Fell for it." The young man smiled as he tried to block Yang Shi''s attack.

    " !!!" Yang Shi felt a cold feeling from behind as his hair stood at its end out of horror. Three ck rays came from behind with the speed of lightning.

    " No, I can''t dodge this!" Yang Shi''s mind began to work rapidly.

    " Radiant Guard! me Shield!" Yang Shi roared. me burst from his back as it turned into the shape of a shield. The shield managed to block one arrow, But it crumbled as another arrow. But even worse, a flying dagger came behind. Yang Shi forced his Radiant guard to the maximum as he resisted the projectiles.

    Unfortunately, The arrow broke past his barrier and hit on his back. But its impact was lessened by a great deal. Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as the younger brother was already aiming for Yang Shi''s neck.

    Yang Shi activated Starlight Burst for the first time. He disappeared and reappeared few dozen meters away. The sword of the younger brother missed.

    " Hahahaha." Yang Shiughed as he pulled out the arrow from his back. " Man, you almost got me. To think there are two of you." Yang Shi snorted.

    " Heh, You are indeed very powerful. Let me give you an offer, Hand over Nai Ruxue and cut off one of your arms. We will let you live." The Younger brother said with a cold voice.

    " Well, I will give you both a better offer. Commit suicide or die horribly by my hands." Yang Shi smiled. The younger brother shook his head and said, " Prepare to die then." He dashed toward Yang Shi, directly aiming for his heart.

    Yang Shi sneered as he also dashed at his opponent. Bending his body a bit, he did an upper sword sh. Yang Shi''s and the young men''s swords collided with a metallic sound. Yang Shi didn''t stop there. " Severing the Shackles." Yang Shi roared as multiple sword shadows appeared around his sword.

    " Shield Spirit! Appear!" The young brother roared. White gases formed around him as a phantom of shield appeared in front of him, Blocking the attack of Yang Shi.

    *CLANG CLANG CLANG* Yang Shi felt a great repulsive force from the shield. Yang Shi''s eye turned azure as he activated Starlight Burst again.

    *SWISHHHH* Yang Shi moved from his spot as arge crack appeared where he was standing. He saw a giant illusory sword was shing at him.

    " Sword Spirit! Thousand Sword Blink" A voice roared behind Yang Shi. The giant sword separated into multiple pieces as they shot towards Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as condensed five me sword around him. With a wave of his palm, They shot toward the iing Thousand Sword Blink.

    *BOOM BOOM BOOM* They collided in the mid-air. Yang Shi shot toward the sword spirit user.

    " Xiao Ren, NOW." The elder brother roared. The younger brother dashed at Yang Shi from behind. Yang Shi turned around and attacked him with his full might. " shing Lightning" Yang Shi roared.

    " Sword-Shield Harmony, Absolute Block." Xiao Ren roared as he called his Shield spirit. Both collided as powerful shockwaves cracked the ground beneath them.

    " Sword-Shield Harmony, Mountain Spilt" The elder brother attacked from behind. They tied to finish Yang Shi with their pincer move. They were both at the 3rd stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. But with their harmonizing Primordial Spirits, They can even kill the Sixth stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator with a sneak attack.

    " Heh, Enough shit show." Yang Shi''s muttered.

    " Heart of ughter" Yang Shi''s body emanated a terrifying aura. " Huh?" Xiao Ren flinched a bit, But a moment of distraction was enough for Yang Shi.

    He activated his Starlight Burst again to escape.

    " You guys are quite powerful. Thanks to you, I will finally try my third Primordial Spirit." Yang Shi coldly smiled at them.

    " Celestial White Tiger, War God Frenzy." Yang Shi calmly uttered. He put away his Longsword and his Heaven Cmity ancient saber. The aura around him became more deadly as an image of a White Tiger appeared above his body.

    White fur grew o his body as his eyes became like a beast. He leaped at them and shed with his saber.

    *BOOOOOOOM* A huge crack appeared on the ground as both brothers backed away.

    " Shit! He is fucking too much powerful than the report!" Xiao Ren cursed. He summoned his shield spirit as he tried to block Yang Shi''s next attack.

    But this time, Yang Shi didn''t even bat his eyes after looking at the shield. " Absolute Block." Xiao Ren roared.

    *CLANG*

    Yang Shi''s saber collided with the shield. But this time, His saber didn''t felt any repulsive force.

    *CRRRRAAAACCCCKKK* A crisp cracking sound startled the elder brother of Xiao Ren. Spider web-like cracks spread over Xiao Ren''s Shield spirit as Xiao Ren vomited blood.

    *BOOOOM* The shield couldn''t withstand Yang Shi''s brute force anymore as it crumbled away. Yang Shi''s saber hit Xiao Ren''s chest.

    *Kheeeuk* Xiao Ren screamed as he flew backward like a cannonball. He got hit by a wall and fell unconscious.

    " Xiao Ren!!!! DIE, YOU BASTARD!!!" The elder brother of Xiao Ren''s eyes became bloodshot as he charged at Yang Shi. Yang Shi turned behind as he punched the face of the elder brother.

    Yang Shi''s palm became much like tiger paws in War God frenzy mode. So its impact was greater, as it knocked out half of the teeth of The elder brother.

    He flew backward, But Yang Shi seized his chance and shed ay his heart. The crimson saber dyed with crimson blood.

    ......................

    " Eh? Where is Young Master? Why is he taking so long?" Bai Ruxue wander.

    " Eh? Are you trying to find me?" A voice startled her as she smiled brightly.

 Chapter 92: Brother Yang, Save me!

    Chapter 92: Brother Yang, Save me!

    " Where you have been, Young Master? And Why did you changed your dress?" Bai Ruxue asked.

    " Nothing, I just wanted to wear my new clothes early." Yang Shi scratched his head. Bai Ruxue leaned toward Yang Shi''s shoulder.

    " Ehh? Young Master, Were you ying with a white cat?" Bai Ruxue asked as she picked white fur from Yang Shi''s shoulder.

    " White cat?" Yang Shi''s face turned odd. He wondered what reaction Ruxue will give When she would see him in War god Frenzy mode. Celestial White tiger as a white cat?

    " Yeh, It was a white cat." Yang Shi smiled. " Young Master, Where are we going?" Bai Ruxue asked.

    " To a friend''s house." Yang Shi said. Bai Ruxue hurriedly followed by Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi finished both Xiao Ren and his elder twin brother. Although they were powerful, They died in the end. Yang Shi cut off their head and crushed them with his stomp, Leaving two headless bodies as a warning.

    After some time, Yang Shi and Bai Ruxue reached the entrance of the Mo n estate. The guards of the Mo n suddenly bowed towards Yang Shi.

    " Ah, Young noble Yang Shi, Wee." A guard said with a smiling face. Yang Shi politely nodded as he entered along with Bai Ruxue.

    " Eh? Who was that girl with Young noble Yang? She was so beautiful." The guard muttered.

    " You see, I and Mo Yi, are sworn brothers. He would be very happ-" As Yang Shi was telling Ruxue a loud cry interrupted him.

    " BROTHER YAAAAANGGG!" Yang Shi was startled as he saw a white-colored figure was dashing towards him. It was none other than Mo Yi.

    " Hey, Brother Mo!" Yang Shi was pleasantly surprised, But his face turned odd after listening to what Mo Yi said. " Brother Yang, If you are my sworn brother, Then don''t reveal my location." Saying that Mo Yi rushed away.

    " Is his Old man was beating him again?" Yang Shi thought. As he was thinking, He saw a girl in pitch-ck cloth came chasing after Mo Yi. She was very beautiful, But unlike Ruxue, She was giving off a fierce aura. With a short sword on his back, she could be described as a proud and beautiful female warrior.

    She suddenly halted as she saw Yang Shi and Bai Ruxue. " You are?" She asked. Yang Shi didn''t expect that she has such a sweet voice.

    " I-I am Yang Shi, Mo Yi''s friend." Yang Shi said.

    " Oh, So You are brother Yang Shi. A pleasure to meet you." The girl smiled as she bowed a little.

    " Can you please tell me where Mo Yi ran off?" She asked sweetly.

    Yang Shi hesitated a bit, But suddenly, Ruxue pointed in one direction. The ck-clothed girl looked at Ruxue and smiled happily, "Thank you, Sister." She dashed toward, Where Mo Yi went.

    " Ehh? Ruxue, Why did you tell her?" Yang Shi asked Bai Ruxue. " Huh? I...I am so sorry, Young master. It was out of reaction. I didn''t mean it." Bai Ruxue suddenly realized what she has done.

    Suddenly, Loud sounds scared them both as they saw a small mushroom cloud of smoke rose, Where Mo Yi had escaped. Yang Shi saw That the girl was dragging a beggar like a person. No, Wait, It''s Mo Yi! Yang Shi inhaled a mouthful of cold air.

    " Little Sister, Thank you for your help." The girl smiled at Bai Ruxue. Ruxue smiled awkwardly.

    " And you, Get up already. Don''t be like a wasted beggar. You such a shame!" She scolded Mo Yi.

    " Brother Mo, Are you alright." Yang Shi asked with a mixture of sympathy and worry. " Brother Yang, I...am Ok." Mo Yi muttered with a dazed tone. But Yang Shi could tell after looking at two huge bumps on his head.

    " Yes, He is alright. Aren''t you?" The girl said sweetly, But Yang Shi could see that she was giving a murderous re to Mo Yi.

    " Yes, I AM FINE." Mo Yi stood up with a straight back and replied. His face was like a dead fish.

    Yang Shi cupped his fist and said, " I don''t know the name of Sister inw yet?" The girl in ck was surprised as she smiled, " How did brother Yang knew that I am Mo Yi''s fiance? Could it be Mo Yi told you?"

    " Ahaha, No, He doesn''t talk abou- I mean, It''s my intuition." Yang Shi stopped halfway And changed his words. If he was a bit careless, Mo Yi might have got beaten again.

    " Oh, I am Liu Jie, The only daughter of Liu n patriarch." She smiled. Yang Shi could see the grimacing face of Mo Yi.

    " Brother Mo, Why don''t we talk inside?" Yang Shi tried to soothe the mood. Mo Yi nodded as they proceed to his bedroom.

    " Brother Yang, Who is this sister?" Mo Yi asked Yang Shi, Pointing at Bai Ruxue. " I am Bai Ruxue, Young Master Yang''s mai-" She is my assistant." Yang Shi cut her in middle.

    " Only an assistant or... Hehe." Mo Yi gave a weird smile. " Well, Umm..." Yang Shi scratched his head.

    " What The hell are you thinking, You leecher." Liu Lie scowled at Mo Yi. " Liu Jie, Can''t you stop for a bit?" Mo Yi got irritated by her.

    " Hmm?" Liu Ji calmly looked at Mo Yi. Mo Yi got nervous a bit. " Ahaha, Sister, Liu Jie, Can I borrow Mo Yi a bit? Why don''t you and Bai Ruxue talk with each other?" Yang Shi tried to save Mo Yi.

    Liu Jie nodded, " Sister Ruxue, let''s talk for a bit. You know, I just got my hands on some good clothes." She dragged away Ruxue. Both Mo Yi and Yang Shi heaved a sigh of relief.

    They both sat on the chair as Yang Shi poured some Hundred Flower Wine in the ss. After gulping a few mouthfuls of wine, Mo Yi began to weep.

    " That fucking Old man, How dare to call Liu Jie over her? My old peaceful days... Damn." Mo Yi roared.

    " Well, Why don''t you fight back then? I thought you already might have done <em>*that*</em> with her." Yang Shi probed. Mo Yi''s eyes widened.

    " You think I don''t want to? She doesn''t look like it, but she is too powerful. Fuck, She awoke her bloodline much ago and got some ancient legacy. She was at the sixth stage of the Primordial Spirit realm, With a top Royal grade Primordial spirit." Mo Yi sighed.

    " So, Why don''t you tell your story more clearly?" Yang Shi said as he poured more wine.

    " Well, It all started when I was 5 years old..." Then, Mo Yi began his tragic story.

 Chapter 93: White Fang

    Chapter 93: White Fang

    " My grandfather lost a wager to Liu Jie Grandfather and promised to marry a direct descendent with the eldest daughter of Liu n. Fuck, How can he choose a wife for me? He fucked up my life." Mo Yi cursed.

    " That old man of mine also agreed on it. I and my elder brother are the direct grandsons of the Mo n''s main patriarch. I thought it would be the elder brother, Who will marry her. But then, He suddenly went to join a sect and didn''te back for 2 years. Fuck, Then my old man changed his decision and picked me instead of the elder brother."

    " I was only five years old at that time. My elder brother was a cultivation genius, so he didn''te back to the n for a few years. So, I be the scapegoat instead of him. I thought Liu Jie was a very gentle and loving girl. But when we met first, She challenged me for a duel. I lost miserably." Mo Yi continued his story.

    " She said- If you are unable to beat me, I would never ept you as my husband. I tried hard, Cultivated like crazy, But she defeated me every time. Not to mention she became much more powerful than before. Thus, I ran away back then." Mo Yi''s face became embarrassed.

    " Well, Brother Mo Yi, Don''t take things on your heart. Sister-inw is doing all these things for you. She wants you to get powerful as soon as possible. And about duel, Aren''t brother Mo Yi is underestimating yourself?" Yang Shi said after sipping some wine.

    " Underestimating myself?" Mo Yi became confused. Yang Shi smiled.

    " Brother Mo, You have awakened your n''s bloodline and Primordial Spirit of top Royal grade. You found your ancestor''s True grade weapon with a mythic rank sword art. You have a Sky enchantment Pill to breakthrough to the next stage. Al you need is just time." Yang Shi calmly borated.

    The deadpan eyes of Mo Yi lit with hope. Yang Shi added, " Brother Mo, As you can see, Sister Liu Jie is far beautiful than any other woman you have slept with. You got what I am saying?" Yang Shi gave an evil grin. Mo Yi suddenly thought about the scene where he and Liu Jie tangled in bed and Liu Jie asking for forgiveness, While panting loudly. A fire burned in his abdomen.

    " Thank You for boosting my morale, Brother Yang. I will definitely defeat that tigress. Hahahaha." Mo Yi finished his cup as he stood up.

    " Well, Brother Yang, I have a favor to ask." Yang Shi said with a hesitant tone. " What is it? Brother Yang?" Mo Yi asked. Yang Shi told him about Bai Ruxue and asked Mo Yi if Bai Ruxue could stay here for a few months.

    " No problem, Brother Yang. This is not even a favor. Protecting my sister inw is my duty after all. Moreover, I don''t like the Second prince at all." Mo Yiughed.

    As they both came out, They saw Bai Ruxueing back with Liu Jie. Mo Yi''s face turned serious as he looked Liu Jie.

    " Liu Jie!." Mo Yi shouted. Liu Jie, Who was chatting with Bai Ruxue became surprised. " Two months. After two months, We will have a duel." Mo Yi said with confidence. Liu Jie''s eyes flickered with a strange light.

    " Since When you got this brave?" She asked with a surprised tone. " You don''t need to worry about it. Just wait and see, How I will make you cry." Mo Yi snorted as he turned and left.

    Seeing the back of Mo Yi, Liu Jie gave a rare smile of satisfaction. " Finally, You grew your backbone, Like the past. I will wait to get defeated." She murmured. She looked at Yang Shi and cupped her palms, " Brother Yang, I am very grateful for making Mo Yi confident again."

    " Nono, Sister inw, It''s my duty to help my brother." Yang Shi shook his head. " Hahaha. No wonder, Why Sister Ruxue''s heart is captured by you." Liu Jieughed. Bai Ruxue cheek turned red by hearing this.

    From afar, Mo Shan smiled after looking at the young people. " Mo Yi made some good friends."

    " Ruxue, listen to me carefully. Here, Two bottles of Spirit Nurturing pill and Spirit Gathering pill. Both pills would help you in regarding your cultivation. Since you are cultivating a special cultivation technique, Try to refine your Yin energy as possible. When you would reach the peak of the Ninth stage of the Spiritual Ascension Realm, I would help you to breakthrough the Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm." Yang Shi instructed Bai Ruxue.

    Bai Ruxue was only at the sixth stage of Spiritual Ascension Realm. To change her physique in Nine Yin Empyrean Physique, She needs to nourish her Yin energy through her Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art and reach the Primordial Spirit Realm.

    " And inside the Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art, There is a sword art called Jade Lightning Sword Technique. It''s the perfect technique for you. Practice it well. I will be back in a few days." Saying that Yang Shi left the Mo n.

    He thought about training and breakthrough to the fifth stage as soon as possible. Bai Ruxue would be safe in Mo n estate.

    " Hmm, Quite some time since I epted anymission. Time to check it out." Yang Shi headed towards the Blood Moon Hall.

    As he arrived at the mission desk, He was obstructed by someone. It was a Young man, the same age as Yang Shi. H wore a white mask, Only covering around his eyes, Looked like a fancy party mask. His hairstyle was a bit strange, as, amidst his ck hair, Two thin streaks of white hair was presented.

    Yang Shi wore his usual demonic mask, Hee didn''t recognize the youth. " Are you perhaps Evil Shadow." The youth asked with a smile.

    " And you must be White Fang?" Yang Shi could guess his identity from his unusual hair. This White Fang has been a popr young assassin for quite some time.

    " Aha, It seems Brother''s mind is very sharp. Indeed, I am the White Fang." The youth nodded. " What do you want from me?" Yang Shi got straight to the point.

    " Brother Evil Shadow is quite straight forward, eh? So, I won''t go in a roundabout manner. I want to know If you want to co-op with me for a mission?" White Fang asked.

    " Cooperation for a mission?" Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed. Generally, the Assassins of Blood Moon Hall rarely cooperate toplete the mission. Unless danger and rewards are quite big, They don''t cooperate.

    " What is the danger? And What about loot?" Yang Shi didn''t decline as he probed further. Hearing Yang Shi, The youth''s smile became bright.

    " Don''t worry, Rewards are ample."

 Chapter 94: Politics in Capital

    Chapter 94: Politics in Capital

    " The target is a sixth stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator. There might be a bunch of Fifth stage cultivators as well." Silver Fang exined.

    " What''s their background?" Yang Shi asked after some time.Silver Fang scratched his head. " Well, It''s a bit troublesome. They have some ties with the Royal family."

    " Well, That''s not the only reason others aren''t agreeing with you?" Yang Shi asked curtly. "It''s not like that, Brother Evil Shadow. It''s just that they are unwilling to tangle with Royal affairs this year." White Fang smiled bitterly.

    " What''s so special about this year?" Yang Shi asked.

    " You don''t know?" White Fang asked with surprise. Yang Shi shook his head. " Well, It was a veryplicated matter. The thing was, The King of Azur Feather Ancient Kingdom might choose the Crown prince."

    " Hisss" Yang Shi sucked a breath of cold air. He understands the gravity of the situation. Fortunes and Dangers are in their prime at this time. A single action can grant prosperity or annihtion of nine generations.

    " No wonder. It seems my info is outdated. Brother White, why don''t we chat about the situation in the Royal Capital?" Yang Shi said with a smile.

    " It would be my pleasure." White Fang smiled. " This Ancient Kingdom has consisted of four ns - Mo, Yue, Xu, and Huang n. There are also powerful sects like - Golden Sun Sect, Demonic Sound Pce, Golden me Tower, and Dao Instruction Institute."

    " Thest two don''t participate much in politics, But their influence is paramount. Golden Sun Sect is a Righteous Sect, and Demonic Sound Sect is A Demonic Sect. Each of their Sect Master isPeak stage Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators."

    " The King had many sons and daughters, But only Two are the main candidate for the throne. The Eldest Prince is wise, With the heart of a Hero. H like raw power over sneaky schemes."

    " The Second Prince was a schemer, With a venomous heart. He uses the iron-d rule. He won''t hesitate to eliminate any small threat in his path. He is ruthless and cold-blooded." White Fang said with a smile.

    " Well, It seems You are more inclined to the First Prince, Eh?" Yang Shi doubted. " Could it be you are from First Prince Faction and want to Assassinate the Second Prince Faction people, borrowing my sword?" Yang hi raised his brow.

    " No, No, It''s nothing like that." White Fang smiled, But Yang Shi could see that his pupil contracted a bit. " I just got this mission from someone. The Reward is 20,00,000 gold coins and Two top rank Spirit grad treasure." White Fang hurriedly said.

    " No thanks. I have considered it carefully. I don''t want to mess with royal affairs." Yang Shi said straight forwardly.

    " No fuck, I have already created enmity with the second prince. But I doubt he would look into this matter much longer, As he had far bigger targets ahead. Golden Sun Sect is already hellbent to kill the Evil Shadow. Although Demonic Sound Pce doesn''t know about the matter of Yin Luo, I am feeling a bad premonition about this." Yang Shi screamed in his heart.

    " For now, Going to Golden me Tower was the best choice. I can hone my cksmithing ability there." Yang Shi thought.

    " But Brother Shadow, Wait. Not only we would get a huge reward on the mission, But also We can loot all of them. There might be Third or Fourth rank medicinal herbs and Spirit grade weapons on them." White Fang tried to persuade Yang Shi.

    " Brother White, Thee dangers are too high. I am just a Third Stage cultivator." Yang Shi refused straightly.

    " Brother Shadow, I have Five days of time. Please reconsider this." White Fang shouted as Yang Shi left the hall.

    " Hmm, He is quite cautious. Nevermind, I know, He woulde back." Wite Fang smirked. Aftering back, Yang Shi felt that needed to increase his cultivation quickly. " Hmm, I have been in the Third Stage a bit long. I have enough Vital Energy pills to breakthrough into the Forth stage. Only if I could get a Sky Enchantment Pill..." Yang Shi thought.

    " Hmm, I should ask in Hundred Gold Pavilion." Yang Shi reached the Hundred Gold Pavilion of Firmament City.

    " Unfortunately, Customer, We don''t have any Sky Enchantment Pill. As you know, These kinds of pills are Third-grade pills. Concocting them is very difficult." The manager of Hundred Gold Pavilion apologized to Yang Shi.

    " Fuk, I wonder how Yin Luo managed to get two pills? Those Sects are quite something, Aren''t they?" Yang Shi cursed in his mind.

    " Oh yes, I want to sell some weapons." Yang Shi sold all the Mortal Grade weapons he had forged before. He doesn''t require Mortal Grade treasures anymore. He sold all of them for 700,000 gold coins.

    " Well, Uhh Do you have Earth Spirit Metal, Blue Shade Crystals, and Nether Light Stone?" Yang Shi asked. These are the materials to forge High-level Spirit grade treasures.

    " Customer, We only have a limited amount of Blue Shade Crystals. We don''t have any Earth Spirit Metal orNether Light Stone. You have to ask in the cksmith Guild of Golden Fire Tower." The manager gave a wry smile.

    " It seems I need to make a trip to Golden Fire Tower. I can also get the certificate of a cksmithing Grandmaster." Yang Shi thought.

    " But before going there, I think I should attend the Fourth stage." Thus Yang Shi returned to Gold and Jade Inn. After taking a bath, He sat cross-legged on his bed, revolving his Spiritual Qi. After gulping the Vital Energy Pill, The Spiritual Qi inside his body increased significantly.

    A day passed and the moon rose in the evening. Yang Shi finished all his Vital Energy Pill. *Boom* With a low rumbling sound, Qi gushed into Yang Shi''s Dantian.

    Yang Shi''s eye snapped open. " Finally, the Fourth stage." Yang Shi got up and stretched his body. Then h unsheathed his Longsword and made a dozen of continuous sh.

    " The Three move sword art from Heaven Evasion Lightning Art has be old. I wanted to use my ownprehension to improve them, But unfortunately, I can''t get the insight." Yang Shi mumbled.

    " I have a good saber art for my Heaven Cmity. All I need is a suitable sword technique.

    " Do I need to practice a sword art from Samsara Emperor''s memory?" Yang Shi browsed through a dozen Sword techniques.

    " Sky ze Sword ar, Cloud Cutting Sword Technique. No, These are a bit feminine techniques. Dragon ying Three Movs? No, It''s too violent for an Assassin." Yang Shi tried to read them as a reference.

    " Shit, It seems my mind is too chaotic to sort it now." Yan Shi thought. Then suddenly, He saw that his Longsword was reflecting a hazy moonlight.

    The sword''s color was a darker silver shade, So the reflection was a bit hazy. Yang Shi stared at the sword for an incense stick of time.

    " I...I got it."

 Chapter 95: Sword Art of Stellar Night

    Chapter 95: Sword Art of Ster Night

    " A sword of the assassin, Light as a feather, Swift like Lightning. One strike to harvest a life." Yang Shi murmured.

    "The first stance is unsheathing the sword. Sheath it as the wind blows. Like a candle illuminates a cave of darkness, Unsheathing the sword illuminates the world." Yang Shi unsheathed his sword. With a beautiful curve, he drew out and sheathed it again.

    " CRACK....CRAAAAAACCCCCK" A thin, but deep crack spread on the wall before Yang Shi. *BOOOOM* Debris flew as the crack became wider. One should know that the walls of the sky tier room were built with magical bricks. It couldn''t be damaged by any Spirit grade weapon. Only peak stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators can crack it.

    " First Move- Fleeting Light. Unsheath the sword and attack ina blink of an eye." Yang Shi murmured with closed eyes. Unknown to him, A giant illusory Azure lotus appeared behind him. He unsheathed the longsword again.

    He opened his eyes and looked at the sky. His purplish eyes were dyed with deep azure color. He looked at the blinking stars. " Hazy yet radiant, Like blinking Stars. One swing to make dozen of cuts- Second Move- Starlight Haze.

    Yang Shi took a step back and waved his sword.

    *SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH* His sword almost turned hazy.

    *CLANG CLANG CLANG* More than a dozen cut marks appeared on the wall in an instant. Sweat dripped from his head as Yang Shi''s right arm trembled a bit. He understood that his body is reaching its limits, But he didn''t want to waste this chance of enlightenment.

    His sudden enlightenment caused him to enter a mysterious state, Where he could perceive his path of the sword. All cultivators yearned for entering this state. The Azure lotus shook vigorously, shining its pale azure light on Yang Shi. Of course, Yang Shi didn''t know about this phenomenon.

    " No, I can''t stop now. Not until I perfect the sword technique." Yang Shi murmured. He had divided his art into three parts- Sword Drawing, Middle stance, and Final Form.

    " Assassin''s sword is a part of his own body. My sword is my heart. My heart is my sword. My sword shes, like Moonlight reflects. With a thought, My sword shall annihte my enemies." Yang Shi mustered up all the remaining spiritual qi in his dantian.

    He held the sword with both hands, Straight. He poured all the Qi into his hands. His meridians shrunk as the tension on them increased by many folds. " Just a little more. Just a bit." Yang Shi felt his blood churning violently. His Spiritual Qi has emptied, He felt like he was over drafting it.

    " Now." Yang Shi opened his eyes. Slowly, he made a vertical sh. The sh itself was slow, like anyone can see it clearly. *HUMMMMMM* The sword hummed, As it resonated with Yang Shi''s sh. Yang Shi felt he would copse in the next moment. Nheless, He persisted till the end andpleted his sh.

    *WENNNGGGGGG* A thin, te white light shot from the sword. *SWISH* The light shed across the wall, As a hot knife cut through butter. *BOOM* a loud rumbling noise startled Yang Shi. The room wall was finely cut by the white ray, But looking from it, The building next to it, was in shambles.

    People were running out of it frantically. It was a hugemotion outside. But Yang Shi went back to his bed and lied on it. He was very satisfied toplete his third technique. " The third technique- Moonlight sh. Since Iprehended the sword art in the night, I shall call this art- Sword Art of Ster Night" Yang Shi smiled as he fell asleep.

    Of course, The next day, He had to deal with the aftermath. The walls of his room were almost on the verge of crumbling. His Moonlight sh almost destroyed the small house that stood beside the Gold and Jade Inn. He had topensate almost 500,000 gold coins to both parties. But it wasn''t much for Yang Shi.

    He was quite happy to upgrade his sword technique. He trained for three hours to polish the first two stances. Then he got up and dressed.

    " Hmm, I should go to Golden Fire Tower today. Fufufu, I would show them the meaning of genius cksmith." Yang Shi smirked in his mind.

    " Hmm, Interesting. I didn''t think that this brat could produce sword light this fast. Hisprehension is quite...good." Samsara Emperor mumbled.

    " Maybe hisprehension became better after cultivating Origin Chaos Internal Energy Art. Hmm, It seems I have gained some insights from this." Samsara Emperor closed his eyes.

    ..........................................

    Golden Fire Tower was stood at the center of the city. With a zing fire burning at the top of it. Although it was called Tower, It wasn''t different than any luxurious pce. Lots of people were going in and out. There were two big gates. One was - Gate of Alchemy, the other was the Gate of cksmithing.

    Yang Shi naturally entered the gate of cksmithing. He saw a middle-aged man who was dozing off at the counter.

    " Senior." Yang Shi called with a low voice. He didn''t want to frighten the man. Unfortunately, His goodwill went to drain. The man didn''t wake up.

    " SENIOR!" Yang Shi yelled loudly. " Yes! Yes." The middle-aged man woke from his slumber and hurriedly adjusted for his posture. Then he looked at Yang Shi and said- " What? Do you want to order a weapon? Fill the form here and deposit the materials." The man spoke like it was his routine dialogue.

    Yang Shi looked at him and politely said, " Senior, I came here to give the test of cksmithing."

    " What? You came here for the assessment? Hmm, You are quite young. So, You want to take the test for Apprentice cksmith?" The middle aged man asked.

    " Uhh- No?" Yang Shi denied. " Oh, You want to work as an errand boy, huh? Yeh, We need some of them." The middle-aged man nodded.

    " No. why I would be an errand boy?" Yang Shi''s face turned odd as he retorted.

    " What? Could it be you came here for the test of Adept cksmith?" The gaze of the middle-aged man quivered.

    " I came here to give the test for Master rank." Yang Shi said with a deep tone.

    " WHAT?" The middle aged man yelled. His brows furrowed as he berated Yang Shi. " Brat, Are You fooling with me?"

    " Why would I, senior? I really want to give the test for Master rank." Yang Shi yelled.

    "...." The middle aged man couldn''t believe that such a young person came to give the test of Master rank cksmithing.

 Chapter 96: Test

    Chapter 96: Test

    " I am serious." Yang Shi said. The middle aged man took a deep breath and nodded. " Fine, Deposite 100,000 Gold coins and register here." He nodded.

    Yang Shi casually gave 100k gold coins and filled the form. Then he entered a room. He saw only six people there, together with an old man in a red robe. With a zing fire emblem on his back. All seven of them looked at Yang Shi with surprise. " Who are you, Kid?" The old man in the red robe asked in confusion.

    " Elder, I am here to take the exam." Yang Shi bowed as he replied politely. The elder''s eyes widened, But he nodded. There were two middle-aged men around thirty years old, Three young men in their twenties, And only one young man of the same age as Yang Shi. He wore a pale yellow robe, with a fair and hubby face.

    Some of them frowned, Looking at how young Yang Shi is. But the yellow-robed young man walked toward Yang Shi.

    " Brother, You are quite young to give the exam for Master rank cksmith." The young man in yellow smiled at Yang Shi. " Aren''t You the same?" Yang Shi replied with a smile. " Well, Let me introduce myself. I am Huang An, The second generation- Most good looking-Most Talented-Young Master of Huang n." Huang An swung his hair backward.

    The remaining people couldn''t help but chuckle. Even Yang Shi found Huang An funny. But his attention went on the fact that This Huang An was from Huang n, One of the Four major ns of Azure Father Ancient Kingdom.

    " Hmm, maybe I can build some connection with him." Yang Shi thought. " I am Yang Shi, Just a rogue cultivator." Yang Shi replied.

    " Ahaha, Brother Yang Shi, Since you havee here to give the exam for Master Rank cksmith, You are sure no rogue cultivator." Huang Anughed. Yang Shi smiled but didn''t respond.

    " Let me tell you something, Brother Yang. The test here is very difficult. This is my third time here, But I hope I will pass this time." Huang An sighed.

    " Hmph, It''s my seventh time here, and I am still not very confident. How can you think that you could pass in the third try?" One of the middle aged men snorted.

    " Well, Senior Hong Yun, what''s the problem with being confident? It''s not like everyone is like you." Huang An shrugged. " You brat..." Hong Yun got triggered, But then, The red robed elder interfered.

    " All right, Everyone. The exam will start in a few minutes. There shall be three stages of the exam. First stage- You have to answer the question of question papers. There are 50 questions in it. Each shall be worth two marks. The total marking of this exam is 100. You will have five hours toplete the first stage."

    " Note that there is an additional question paper on the wall. The questions there are more difficult than the question paper you have, But each question on the wall will give you ten marks. It''s your choice to attempt it or not, We are not forcing you." The red robed elder exined the rules.

    A female attendance came and distributed the papers to all the examinees.

    " The time starts NOW." The red robed elder spoke. All the people crazily ban to flip their question paper. Yang Shi hurriedly scanned his paper. The more he looked, The more he furrowed his brows.

    " No, This can''t be. How is this possible?" Yang Shi almost blurted out. " I should re-read them." Yang Shi looked at the questions again. Then he took a deep breath and started to answer his paper. " Fuck, Could it be that Hong Yun was lying? These questions are far too...easy." Yang Shi muttered under his breath.

    The expression Yang Shi was disying now could be easily misunderstood by thinking that he is having a hard time, But in reality, He found these questions quite amusing.

    " Well, I should start answering then." Yang Shi''s eyes sparkled as he started to write answers. He scribbled across the paper but after some time, He slowed down.

    " No, I have to write slowly. I don''t have to shine brightly, Cause the tallest tree face the strongest wind." Yang Shi thought. " But how am I supposed to suppress my brilliance, Which is shining like a sun in midnight sky?" Yang Shi mumbled.

    " Anyway, I will just take my time." Yang Shi thought. Unfortunately, The question was so easy for Yang Shi that he almost filled them in ten minutes. " Hold down, I am too fast." Yang Shi thought to stop for a while, but he almostpleted 90% questions on the paper.

    " Sigh, The side effects of being a genius." Yang Shi sighed as he looked at his fellow examinees. Some of them were scratching their hairs, some of them biting their pens furiously, But their writing speed was very slow.

    " Ok, I should circte my Internal energy to pass the time." Yang Shi closed his eyes as he started to circte his Internal energy. He hadpleted the Bone Forging stage and reached Meridian Opening Stage. But he felt that he would need a few months toplete Merdian Opening Stage.

    All he needed to open his meridian, Which would make his Internal Energy revolve at a faster rate. He also needs to temper his meridian, Make it sturdy enough to withstand the impact of raging tide like- Spiritual Qi and Internal Energy of Yang Shi.

    Of course, there is a shortcut for this. He needs to find a fruit called Hundred Tempered Blood Roots. It would allow him to break through the Meridian Opening Stage in one go. But it would be difficult to find such a thing here.

    Yang Shi opened his eyes after two hours. Then he wrote the remaining answers and looked around him again. Everybody had a serious look on their faces. Yang Shi couldn''t help but shake his head in disappointment.

    Then he looked at the questions on the wall. He stood up and walked toward it. Other examinees took a deep sigh as they looked at Yang Shi with pity.

    " Poor boy, He must be quite depressed now." Hong Yun sighed. All of them saw how Yang Shi had closed his eyes. He couldn''t have answered the questions and might be thinking hard about it.

    Yang Shi must have lost all hope and wanted to try out the questions on the wall. Sadly, He didn''t know that those questions are nothing less than monsters.

    " These questions..." Yang Shi looked at them.

 Chapter 97: Fire Controlling Arts

    Chapter 97: Fire Controlling Arts

    " Now, Theses are what you call, Decent questions." Yang Shi looked at the questions on the wall with interest. " Hmm, How to craft the Three colored alloy? Write the process of making billet from Azure Sky bronze and Yin Iron? Ohoho, This one is very funny. What metal is found near Obsidian Demon Rhino?"

    Yang Shi wrote answer effortlessly. Theoretical tests of Alchemy and cksmithing are easy as pie for Yang Shi. Samsara Emperor had lived just far too long, Even surpassed the age of Earth itself.

    So he learned all kinds of the profession, Alchemy, cksmithing, Rune Inscription, Formation Arrays, And an endless amount of Daoist Battle Arts and Cultivation techniques.

    s, Yang Shi had only a fraction of the Samsara Emperor''s memory, But still, His knowledge can beat the shit out of any expert of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom.

    Yang Shi took a deep breath and started writing on the wall. Every examinee, along with the red-robed elder stared at Yang hi with shock.

    " Well, That kid must be writing some random stuff, right? There is no way he can answer those questions." They thought.

    " Wow, That kid is really confident with himself." Huang An thought. Five hours passed. Everyone submitted their answers. None of them looked rx. They looked like patients waiting for their diagnosis. Yang Shi maintained a calm attitude. The red-robed elder collected all the papers and went outside. All the examinees gathered and discussed. Yang Shi also nodded.

    But then, somemotion sounded from outside. Everyone became surprised." Huh? What happened?" One of the young men became confused. " Could it be our answers are so trashy that the elders here got mad?" One of them joked, he quickly got silent as remain people gave him a death stare. Yang Shi also rolled his eyes, " How dare you question this genius''s answer?" He thought.

    " Well, I truly hope for nothing bad to happen." Yun Hong said. Then at that moment, Three old men entered the room, one of them is the red-robed elder.

    " Everyone, The results of the first test is out. The results are...quite outside of our expectation." The red-robed elder spoke. " Now, Let''s go to the next test." He spoke again.

    " But elder, What about ur score on this test?" Huang An asked. " Well, Uhh... W would dere the scores of all three tests together." The red-robed elder spoke in a strange tone, as he looked at Yang Shi with side-eyes.

    " Well, now,e with me." The red-robed elder instructed. Everyone followed him. The two other old men, Who came with the red-robed elder, stayed in the room. They constantly looked at the question on the walls.

    All the examinees arrived in arge hall. There was a stone in the middle of the hall. It looked like an ordinary stone the size of a baby''s head.

    " In the second test, We shall test your ability to control mes. In cksmithing, controlling the fire is a crucial part. Touch this stone and circte your spiritual qi to control fire. The color of the stone will decide your marks. If it''s white in color, you will get 10 marks. If it''s orange in color, then you will get 20 marks. If it''s red in color, you will get 50 marks." The red-robed elder exined.

    " The best way to pass this test is to proficiently use your me magic arts. cksmiths need the Yang type of fire, While Alchemists need the Yin type. The higher level of your Fire magic arts, The more marks you can get in this exam." The red-robed elder advised.

    Few of the examinee''s face turned ugly. Only members of wealthy ns and sects can afford top-level Fire magic arts. Normal people would feel lucky If they get their hands on a peak Yellow grade technique. But disciples of powerful sect and ns has purple grade techniques or even Mythical grade magical arts.

    So they have a god advantage over normal people, who are doing hard work. First, A young man of twenty year old walked toward the stone. " me Materialization Art" That young man yelled as fame appeared in midair. Then he put his both palms on the stone.

    *ZZZZTTTTT* The stone began to glow. It radiated white light. The White light became brighter, but it didn''t turn orange. The young man sighed and retraced his palms.

    " Hmm, 10 marks." The red-robed elder nodded. Then three people could only activate the red color. But then, Yun Hong stepped in. " zing Purgatory Technique." He shouted as he put his palm on the stone. *BRRRRRR* Th stone first glowed white. Then it became brighter and brighter as it turns in orange color. " Hannah" Yun Hong went all out as he channeled his technique. The orange color became a little bright, but then it stopped.

    " A little bright orange. Ok, 23 points." The red-robed elder nodded. Then two others got orange color as well. After them, Huang An went forward. He rolled up his sleeves as he took a deep breath. His eyes turned serious as he ced his palms on the stone. " Coiling Spirit Fire Technique." Chains made of me covered Huang An''s arms. The stone lit up instantly. It appeared as an orange color, but it turned brighter. Then it turned scarlet red.

    " Heavens, Isn''t Coiling Spirit Fir technique is derived from Huang n''s Mythic rank technique- Violet Dragon Sky Burning Technique?" One of the examinees eximed. Some of them looked at Hunag An with envy. Coiling Spirit Fire Technique is still a purple rank technique and practicing it tillpletion can help one to practice the Violet Dragon Sky Burning Technique.

    " Oh wow, Such a young mage yet you triggered the Scarlet Red color. 50 marks." The Elder nodded with a smile on his face. Huang An nodded with satisfaction.

    " Not, It''s your turn." The elder looked at Yang Shi. Yang Shi nodded as he walked toward the stone. He took a deep breath as he ced his palm on three stones. Yang Shi naturally condensed me from his Spiritual Qi. The stone slowly turned white.

    " Heh." One person, who got orange color couldn''t help but snort." Hmph." Yang Shi snorted as he channeled his Internal Energy. The white color became bright and bright as it slowly turned orange.

    " Hmm?" The person who snorted earlier became surprised. " Is it just me? Or I don''t see that boy is using any kind of technique? Is this his natural talent?" Someone gasped. The red-robed elder looked at Yang Shi with a serious gaze.

    " Still not going huh? Great Yang Sr me Art!" Yang Shi roared in his mind. The crimson me on his palm became golden color with a bit of whiteness. The stone instantly became crimson red. But it didn''t stop there.

 Chapter 98: Round Three

    Chapter 98: Round Three

    me enveloped the stone as Yang Shi activated his Great Yang Sr me art. The fire slowly took the shape of a lily. The stone became bright red, Like the setting sun, but then, in the red color, small cracks began to appear. The cracks were golden in color, and it slowly spread like spiderwebs. The red-robed elder''s eyes went wide with astonishment.

    " Huuuuh" Yang Shi left out a long breath as he suddenly retracted his palms. The stone lost its color as it went back to normal. The red-robed elder became a bit disappointed.

    " Heavens, What technique he used in the end? It was overbearing." Someone eximed. The red robed elder''s eyes turned serious after hearing the question.

    " Hmm, It seems The way he used his mes... I saw a simr technique like that before. But it seems he is using two techniques at once." Huang An concluded.

    " Now you said it, It indeed looks simr to a powerful technique I saw once." Yun Hong nodded.

    " Ok, 60 marks." The red robed elder said.

    " 60!!! How is that possible?" One of them barked with dissatisfaction. " Didn''t you see the golden cracks in red color?" The elder retorted.

    " Actually, I didn''t tell but, There was another color after red. It was a golden color. Triggering the golden color will give you 100 marks." The red-robed elder said with a loud voice.

    " Golden color, huh?" Huang An looked at Yang Shi.

    " Ok, now time for thest test. You will craft a Spirit Grade." The red robed elder smiled. Everyone''s face turned serious after hearing him. Even Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as his mind turned firm.

    " Come with me." The red-robed elder asked them. He sighed lightly as he looked at Yang Shi. " Great Yang Sr me Art, Huh...But it''s a little different." He murmured. People couldn''t recognize Yang Shi''s Great Yang Sr me Art right away, as he has innately control over fire element for his Crimson Lily primordial spirit. Hebined this with his technique, both befuddling the people and increasing his power.

    He led everyone into a kind of altar. " Wow, I never thought that Golden Fire Tower is this big!" Yang Shi eximed.

    " Indeed, Usually, people just deliver materials and order from outside. Only verified cksmiths can enter deeper part of this building." Huang An nodded. Yang Shi saw the building had many pirs, with strange runes embedded on it.

    " Wow, They protected the entire building with magical formations." Yang Shi''s eye gleamed. " Well, It''s the main faction of cksmiths and Alchemists not only in Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom but all the surrounding kingdoms. We have materials for True Rank, even Earth rank weapons. The Alchemy faction has powerful Fourth and Fifth rank pills, which are treasures for Violet Pce Expansion Realm and Origin Core Realm experts." The red robed elder exined.

    " Doesn''t that mean eating one of such pills can help us to breakthrough many stages at once?" Someone else asked. "It''s true that such pills and treasures exist, But you need a heaven-defying fortune to acquire them." The red robed elder said with a smug tone.

    Everyone reached another hall. There were many small doors across the hall. " This is our Forging Hall. Each room has enough materials and a forging table for you. You don''t need to worried about the quality of materials and forging table as each of them is the same. "

    You can''t use additional materials or your own forging table. If you use them, We will know instantly." The red robed elder exined the rules.

    " You will have four hours to craft a Spirit Grade weapon from then. You can create whatever you want, but it needs to be a Spirit Grade artifact. Your time starts NOW." The elder shouted as everyone chose a room for them.

    Materials were neatly packed in a shell as a forging table sat in the middle of the room. Yang Shi scrambled the materials and found something amiss. " Huh, Is it me, Or the materials are a bit short? Purple stone crystal? This used to make Mortal Grade weapons. Why is it here?" Yang Shi furrowed his brow.

    After looking at the materials, Yang Shi frowned. " Now I looked into this, The materials for crafting a Spirit Grade weapons is indeed short. This means everyone is facing the same problem." Yang Shi thought.

    " The best way is to craft a smaller weapon, like Daggers, Knuckle dusters, Flying needles. Hmm, I should make a dagger then." Yang Shi about to light his forge but he stopped suddenly. " No, This is what everyone would be thinking now. Hmm, I should do something different then." Yang Shi looked at the pile of materials as he started the smelting furnace of the forge.

    " Crimson Fire Stone. Blood Lizard crystals, Cloud Mountain Stone..." Yang Shi thew materials in the furnace. " I have enough materials for making a long dagger, But if I can add Azure Bronze metal and Shining Moon Steel... I need the perfect temperature to sessfully merge them together."

    Yang Shi waved his hand as the me zed. He made a dozen hand signs to adjust the temperature of the fire. " Assimte!" Yang Shi shouted as the metals in the furnace slowly liquified as they merged with each other.

    " Huahh" Yang Shi breathed out as he took out the new metal chunk and hammered it.

    *DING DING DING DING DING DING DING DING*

    Yang Shi immersed in hammering as time ticked by. The red robed elder sat outside as he checked the time. A white-robed old man came in. " Elder Li, How is the test is going?" The white-robed asked.

    " Till now, Everything is fine. I have found three good saplings today and one of them is very excellent." Elder Li nodded.

    " I don''t know if lowering the amount of Spirit Grade materials is necessary." The white-robed elder scratched his head.

    " Elder Wang, You know that Golden Fire Tournament is near, right? Tower master wishes to win first ce as we didn''t won thest three times. So he made the evaluation stricter. Of course, If they can pass this hurdle, they would receive ample rewards as well." Elder Li smiled.

    " Do you think someone can make something as like Longsword or Saber out of them?" Elder Wang asked. " It would be good if they managed to make any decent Spirit Grade weapon. If someone can make arger weapon, He would get an exceptional reward." Elder Li looked at the forging rooms.

    *BOOM* ck smoke erupted from one of the rooms as a person came out with a ck face. " Fuck, Why the materials aren''t enough? My me just went high and it wasted all the materials." That figure screamed. After him, Two others came out as well, failing in their forging.

    " Finally, Time to draw the Spirit diagrams." Yang Shi wiped his face as his eyes turned serious.

 Chapter 99: Hefty Reward

    Chapter 99: Hefty Reward

    " Three out of seven failed." Elder Li sighed. Three people left out a deep sigh as they came out with a dejected face." You three, Stand here and wait till the time ends." Elder Li told them.

    Yang Shi was doing his task meticulously. He took the carving pen and started at his weapon. " No, It might just break apart. Since I added both Mortal Grade and Spirit Grade materials, There is a chance that my weapon can''t handle the Spirit diagrams. But currently, I don''t have much choice. If I fail now, I won''t have time to make another weapon." Yang Shi''s brain was working like a supeputer.

    " Anyway, I might just bet everything on this." Yang Shi made his mind as his hands started to carve.

    *SWISH SWISH SWISH*

    His hands moved like an artist''s painting. His throbbing heart became calm as his purple eyes slowly turned azure. He didn''t think of sess or failure. He only thought about the spirit diagram. The weapon began to thrum as if it would break in the next moment, But Yang Shi didn''t mind that as he continued to carve the spirit diagram.

    A Spirit weapon can support nine spirit diagrams. The weapon having nine diagrams is said to be the peak tier Spirit Grade weapon. After that, One has to create a treasure spirit to forge a True Rank weapon.

    " Bzzzzzzz" The weapon shone with a buzzing sound.

    " Ok, Times up." Elder Li rang a bell. The remaining examinee came out of their room. Yang Shi also came out with his newly forged weapon.

    " Ok everyone, Show their weapon." Elder Li and Elder Wang stood there to inspect the weapons.

    " Hmm, A long dagger with one Spirit diagram, Good." Bothe elder nodded. Then Yun Hong came and showed two flying daggers.

    " When these two daggers are used at once, It can be called a whole Spirit grade weapon with three diagrams. Very good." The two elders nodded with approval. Then Huang An came forward and presented a pair of treasures looking like gloves.

    " A pair of gloves with retractable ws. Not only it can bolster the physical attacks of a cultivator, but also the hidden ws can be used as a surprise attack. A Spirit grade weapon with four diagrams. Impressive." The eyes of Elder Wang sparkled. He wore the gloves as he channeled his spiritual qi in it.

    *WHISSHHH* Elder Wang made several moves with it as he let out a satisfied smiled. " Good, good." He nodded. Looking at his expression, Huang An became ecstatic. Atst Yang Shi came.

    " HMM?!!!" The eyes of both elders became wide. Yang Shi showed them a Longsword of one meter long. It was pitch ck in color and didn''t look much refined. Elder Li took the sword and didn''t say anything.

    He closed his eyes and made a sh with the sword. " WEENNNGGG" With a humming noise, a purple-colored ray shed out from the sword as it hit the walls of the hall.

    *BOOOM* Suddenly, the runes one the pirs lit up as a thin light barrier stopped the purple ray. " Huh, What happened?" The Tower fell in turmoil as a bunch of people came rushing to the forging hall.

    " Elder Li, What happened?" Someone asked.

    " Calm down everyone, I am just testing this sword." Elder Li gave a wry smile. Everyone there looked at the sword with interest.

    " You made a fine Spirit grade Longsword with so few materials. It may be looked ordinary, But it''s a Spirit-grade sword with Five Spirit diagrams. I never thought you would able to do it." Elder Li said with a happy tone.

    Two white-robed old men came from behind and they whispered something to Elder Li. Elder Li nodded as he took out the mark sheet.

    " Everyone, The final marks are out. Yun Hong gets 200 marks in total. Huang An gets 260 marks in total. Yang Shi gets...400 marks." Elder Li announced.

    " Wait, How is that possible?" Yun Hong shouted. " Even he did well in the Second and Third test, What about The first test? He couldn''t have scored full marks? And Even he did, there is still a gap."

    " Heh, You are quite wrong. Not only he answered all of the questions correctly, He even answered ten questions on the wall, which gives him additional 100 marks." Elder Li smiled.

    " WHAT!!!" Everyone shouted in astonishment. " Yes, Our elders personally verified his answers. There is no doubt that his answers are correct." Elder Li said.

    " What if he got the questions on the wall beforehand this test? What if he memorized the answers beforeing here?" Someone raised the question.

    " Well, Those questions are changed almost every day. But some of them remained unanswered for years. It''s almost impossible to learn them beforehand, And even he did, It''s still beneficial to us." Elder Li cast a side-eye to the person who asked. " If you can also solve that, why don''t you?" His eyes silently asked the person.

    " Fine, Since you three archived score higher than 200, You shall be considered as our seeded members. Not only we will give you the title of Master rank cksmith, You will get 20% off when you buy materials from here." Elder Li said with a loud voice. The ears of Huang An, Yun Hong, and Yang Shi''s perked up. Especially Yang Shi''s as now he can buy high-grade materials for crafting at low prices.

    " And Yang Shi, You managed to cross our benchmark of 350 marks. You will get a special reward." Elder Li smiled at Yang Shi.

    " Really?" Yang Shi''s eye gleamed with excitement. He never thought thating here would spell him good fortune. " Elder, May I know what is it?" Yang Shi asked eagerly.

    "It''s a Spirit me." Elder Li said with a smile. The examinees became silent. The other elders of Golden Fire Tower nodded with agreement. Yang Shi''s eyes sparkled with light.

    " What grade is it?" Yang Shi asked. "It''s a second-grade beast me. This a beast me from the core of Purple Rim Winged Snake, an Ancient Beast, simr to human Violet Pce Expansion Realm."

    " Heavens, It''s a beast me of an Ancient Beast." Everyone inhaled a deep breath. Even Yun Hong became a little jealous. However, Huang A only smiled.

    Spirit mes are Three types - Natural mes born under the heavens, The Beast mes, from the core of me attribute beast, Innate me, which either from a body with the special constitution or passed down from a powerful ancestor who cultivated the Dao of Fire as a bloodline.

    They are categorized from First grade to Ninth grade, Ninth grade is the strongest. Yang Shi''s the beast me of Purple Rim Winged Snake is two or three times powerful than Yang Shi''s current innate me, Which he got from the Crimson Lily. His power will increase simultaneously with his cksmithing talent.

    Chapter 100: Crafty Huang An

    " I will always remember the kindness of Elder Li." Yang Shi cupped his fist. " Greater rewardes with great responsibilities. I hope you will able to prove yourself worthy of this reward when the timees." Elder Li said with a serious tone.

    " Don''t worry Elder Li, I will definitely prove to you." Yang Shi nodded. Two servants brought an exquisite jade box withplex patterns on it. Yang Shi took the box. He could feel the warmth of the Spirit Fire.

    " Here, Your Golden Fire Tower robe and the insignia." Elder Li passed them a red colored robe with a me sign on its back and a ck obsidian token with a giant hammer sign. Yang Shi took it with respect and wore it. " Wow, Its quality is just for good." Yang Shi felt that this robe is made of special materials, which are extremely durable.

    " You should go to seclusion to refine the Spirit fire of Purple Rim Winged Snake. Since it''s a second-grade Spirit Fire. You will need at least three days to refine it and fully absorbing it might take up to a week. Be cautious when you refine it, Else it might get berserk and harm your foundation." Elder Li warned Yang Shi. " I will remind your advice." Yang Shi slightly bowed.

    " Well, Enough chitchat, Now you can leave. You young men must be hoping to celebrate eh?" Elder Li smirked.

    " Thank you, elder." Yang Shi and Huang An along with others smiled as they left hastily. Yang Shi thought to go to the Alchemist guild of Golden Fire Tower. Yang Shi anted to buy a Sky Enchanting Pill to break through the Fifth stage. He saw the ce was bustling with many people. Unlike the cksmiths, They wore a white robe, With a pill cauldron sign on their back. Yang Shi went to their counter and asked about the Sky Enchanting Pill.

    " Sorry, Young man, We don''t have any Sky Enchating Pill for now. As you see, Sky Enchating Pills are Third Grade pill, Which is very useful for Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators, So its very rare." The receptionist said with an apologetic tone.

    " Come on, I am a Master cksmith in Golden Fire Tower. Can''t you give me some leeway?" Yang Shi pouted.

    " What?! You are a Master grade cksmith?" The receptionist blurted out. Yang Shi showed him his emblem. "It''s original." The receptionist murmured.

    " Young Master, Although we don''t have Sky Enchanting Pill for sale, There is a way you can get it." The receptionist said, With a sudden change of tone. " Since now you are a certified member of Golden Fire Tower, You can do missions. One of our senior alchemists is in urgent need of Soul Nourishing Grass. If you bring three stalks of it, You will get a Sky Enchantment Pill." The receptionist said, handing Yang Shi a bamboo slip.

    " Is it so? I might try that." Yang Shi nodded. He asked for a few more missions to see. While flipping through the bamboo slips, Yang Shi halted suddenly. " How...This is, Hundred Blood Tempering Roots, and It''s 500 years old. So, I can get this in exchange for Ground Dragon Flower." Yang Shi muttered. He really found two essential things here.

    " I should go back and try to finish these two missions as fast as I can." Yang Shi thought and left. Then he saw Huang An standing outside. " Ah Brother Yang, Here you are."

    " Fuck, I am so hungry." Huang An groaned. Then he looked at Yang Shi and said, " Brother Yang, You must be pretty hungry, no? Why not have a meal together?"

    " Well, I do feel hungry. Indeed, We should celebrate today.'''' Yang Shi nodded. The duo entered an inn asked half of the menu with big jugs of wine.

    " Ahh, I am so happy today." Huang An said. " Brother Yang, Getting a second grade Spirit fire must be good, eh?" Huang An teased. " Haha, Is brother Huang feeling jealous?" Yang Shi smirked.

    " Not really. My Old man promised to give me a Spirit Fire if I be a Master grade cksmith this time. Now, He has to empty his pockets." Huang Anughed.

    " Huang n is quite influential, eh? No wonder they call Huang n the richest n of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom." Yang Shi said. " Well, I know. But my n won''t let me spend money. Just a bunch of miser old men." Huang Anughed. Then he looked at Yang Shi and asked, " Brother Yang is sure not a rogue cultivator? Judging from the result there, You must have quite a powerful background." Huang Anughed mysteriously.

    " Well, Not quite right. But I will make my own name." Yang Shiughed. To be honest, He didn''t even have a background. Just a few months ago, He appeared in this world mysteriously, and now he is a Master Rank cksmith, A professional Assassin, and a small-time rich person.

    " One day, This world shall tremble on hearing my name." Yang Shi thought. " Well, Brother Yang." Huang An interrupted Yang Shi''s thoughts.

    " The main reason I asked you toe here, to give you this." Huang An passed a card to Yang Shi. It was a pitch-ck card with a symbol of a gold ingot in the middle of it.

    " What''s this? Yang Shi asked with surprise. " Brother Yang, Have you heard about the Yearly Auction of the Hundred Gold Pavilion?" Huang An asked. " Yes, It''s said that only top quality treasure sold in it. Not just anybody can participate in it." Yang Shi nodded.

    " Indeed, Without this invitation card, you can''t participate in it." Huang Anughed as he tapped on the ck card. " So why are you giving this to me?" Yang Shi asked. " Well, I have a bunch of extra cards, so I might it to you. There are lots of things there, that might catch your eyes." Huang Anughed.

    " Well, Then I have to shamelessly ept your goodwill." Yang Shi kept the card. " The auction will be held on the next month, So pleasee to the Royal capital as soon as possible." Huang An said.

    " I will remember Brother Huang''s words." Yang Shi nodded. " Then, I shall take my leave." Huang An smiled as he left.

    " What a crafty fellow." Yang Shiughed. " Well, Now, I have to refine the Spirit Fire."

 Chapter 101: Back to Training

    Chapter 101: Back to Training

    " Well, well, Now let''s see my harvest." Yang Shi sat on his bed and looked at the jade box. He was going to refine the second-grade spirit fire. Yang Shi did hand seals to open the box. With a zing hue, a lump of fire jumped out from it.

    It looked like a small serpent, With two tiny wings on its back. " HISSSSS" The snake roared as it tried to escape. " You can''t escape from me." Yang Shi sneered as he released his Spiritual Qi. The fire snake hissed in response and began to radiate crimson light. Clearly, it was unwilling to be tamed.

    Yang Shi continuously put pressure on the spirit fire, to weaken it. " Well, It really might take a few days." Yang Shi thought. But suddenly, A crimson ring of light appeared behind his back as a phantom of Crimson lily jumped out from it.

    " Eh!!!" Yang Si became surprised by the sudden turn of things. The petals of the lily trapped the spirit fire. The fire snake wriggled fiercely, but it couldn''t escape. The Lily and the snake vanished abruptly. " What the fuck!" Yang Shi eximed, But then he felt a gush of warmness in his dantian.

    He peered inside, Only the find that that the duo are fighting in his dantian. Rather than fighting, It''s more like the Crimson lily is trying to devour the Spirit Fire. Yang Sji tried to control the crimson lily, But it seems it was acting on its own.

    " Buddy, You can''t just eat my precious treasure. Do you know how rare a Spirit fire is?" Yang Shi sighed helplessly, s he can''t do anything. But then, He felt rich Fire qi filled in his meridians.

    The Spiritual qi is only amon type of energy, Which the majority of creatures use to cultivate. Different types of qi exist in this world. For example- Elemental qi like Fire qi or Earth qi, Yin qi or Yang qi, Holy qi, Nature qi, Demonic qi, etc. Yang Shi felt that the Lily is actually refining the Spirit fire.

    " Holy! Let me channel my Great Yang Sr me Art." Yang Shi hurriedly channeled his technique as he tried to absorb the qi from the spirit fire. H used the Divine Art of Taichi and Great Yang Sr me Art simultaneously. The first technique is to stimte the Yang energy of his body and the second technique is to control the Fire energy. Using both at the same time, Yang Shi can refine his innate Fire to the utmost purity.

    " Just how fast this Lily is refining the Spirit Fire?" Yang Shi eximed. The fire avatar of the snake shrunk in size. A ming hue appeared around the petals of the crimson lily as it greedily absorbed the Spirit fire.

    After six hours, the Lily finished absorbing the Spirit fire. " And Elder Li was saying it might take three to five days." Yang Shi snickered. If Elder Li was here, He would have beaten Yang Shi to the pulp.

    Refining a Spirit fire is no child''s y. If not for the abnormal crimson Lily, Yang Shi would have taken a long time to refine it. Spiritual qi is universal energy to cultivate, But elemental Qi can be dangerous, if it is absorbed without proper technique.

    "Let us see if my power increased." Yang Shi stood up as he summoned his mes. *WOOOSH* With a swirl, mes gathered in his palm as it slowly took shape of a Lily. It was giving off a bewitching aura, Like a beautifuldy standing while wearing a thinyer of cloth.

    But in eyes of Yang Shi, The power of his me had grown tremendously. This Lili shaped me is almost five times stronger than his previous me.

    Yang Shi drew back his arm as his eyes turned serious. " This is a technique I couldn''t practice before for my weak me. me Tiger Fist!" Fire coiled around Yang Shi''s arm as he threw a punch in empty air.

    *ROAAAR* With a low roar, The fire became like a pouncing tiger, brandishing its w and opening its mouth as it pounced on its prey. With a loud noise, The front wall almost cracked. Yang Shi waved his palms to extinguish the fire.

    " As expected, This fire is indeed a lot stronger than before." Yang Shi nodded with approval. " Well, Now... What should I do?" The crimson lily saved almost five days worth of time for Yang Shi.

    " Oh wait, I should practice with my Heaven Cmity Saber." yang Shi almost forgot that the Old Ghost gave him a saber technique. Its name was Heaven Saber Seven Arts. As its name implies, Its a saber technique consisted of seven moves. Yang Shi saw that with his current strength, He should be able to practice the first three moves.

    From his experience fromst time, Yang Shi understood that the Azure Lotus primordial spirit can enhance hisprehension by many times. If someone takes a month to practice a technique, Yang Shi can master it in a day with the help of the Azure Lotus spirit.

    Yang Shi''s eyes turned azure as he studied the tattered book carefully. He drew out his saber as he tried to understand the moves. Honestly, What Yang Shi is doing ispletely absurd. Cultivators usually chose one weapon of their preference, and use it for the life time. Each weapon has its own unique path.

    Sword and Saber are the most contradicting weapons. From the beginning, Sword cultivators and Saber cultivators despised each other,peting to prove that their weapon is the best.

    Yang Shi flipped through the tattered book as he closed his eyes to think. " Sword art depicts elegance but Saber doesn''t need any elegance. It is in and destructive. Saber is like a ferocious tiger, It''s aura can intimidate myriads of beings. Sword is the weapon of a righteous Emperor, While Saber is the weapon of a Tyrant.

    " First Move- Gold Splitting., Second Move- Tiger Descends, Third move- Mountain Cut." Yang Shi muttered. He got up and left the inn and traveled deep into Deep Sky Forest.

    " Well, I don''t want to destroy the inn this time." Yang Shi muttered. In pitch-ck darkness, The forest looked eerily calm. Yang Shi took out his ancient saber as he began to practice.

    " Gold Splitting." Yang Shi roared. The saber emitted a pale golden hue as the trees in front of Yang Shi cleaved in half.

    *BOOOOM*

 Chapter 102: Heaven Saber Seven Arts

    Chapter 102: Heaven Saber Seven Arts

    Gold represents the metal. The first move of Heaven Saber Seven Arts can cut through the toughest metals in one sh. The trees in front of Yang Shi was cleanly cut in half vertically. He didn''t sh again but stood motionless.

    Yang Shi trying to feel the moment when he executed Gold Splitting. He closed his eyes and began to think. " Gold...Metal...One sh to split." Yang Shi inhaled a deep breath as he gathered his spiritual Qi. " Gold Splitting" Yang hi roared as his saber shone with a yellow light.

    *BOOOOM* With a sh, The ground split in half, almost ten inches deep. Yang Shi practiced Gold Splitting till the sun fell. After taking a small break, Yang Shi pulled out his longsword and began to polish his Sword Art of Ster Night. The next day, Yang Shi started to practice the second move- Tiger Descends.

    " Saber is like a ferocious tiger. One move to tear apart the enemy, Like a tiger pounce on its prey." Yang Shi thought that understand this more efficiently, He should call out his white tiger primordial spirit.

    *ROAAAAR* With a roar, a giant tiger with ck and white stripes appeared behind Yang Shi. With its golden eyes, It gave off a terrifying pressure. All beasts in a few kilometers of distance shuddered as they looked in Yang Shi''s direction. After all, the might of the white tiger isn''t anything bluff.

    Yang Shi took a step back, raised his saber, and pounced forward like a crouching tiger ambushes its prey. Yang Shi swung its saber as he charged at a tree.

    *CRAAAAACKK* the tree trunk burst like it''s torn apart by force. Yang Shi felt satisfied. After practicing till noon, Yang Shi put away his saber and sat under the scorching sun. He sat there and practice his Divine Art of Taichi, to refine his Yang energy. After he got his Nine Saints Extreme Yang body, He felt controlling Yang energy has be very easy.

    H absorbed the natural Yang energy from sunlight as he kept revolving his internal energy and doing TaiChi stances. He channeled his Internal Energy to open his meridians. It was a very slow task, but Yang Shi was determined to get the Hundred Blood Tempring Roots to get past the Meridian Opening Stage.

    Yang Shi practiced the first two saber moves and the Sword Art of Ster Night with utmost diligence. He didn''t forget to practice his cultivation. He felt he reached the bottleneck of the Fourth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

    " Ahh, If I get two Sky Enchanting Pill, I will instantly raise my cultivation to sixth stage." Yang Shi muttered. Beforeing here, he gathered some intel about Soul Nourishing Grass. " After I cross the steep mountain, I will arrive at the location where I can found Soul Nourishing Grass." Yang Shi looked at a small mountain from far.

    Yang Shi put his saber on his back as we walked towards it. In this part of the forest, There aren''t many demonic beasts, So Yang Shi couldn''t practice with them. Yang Shi roamed that area for an hour. Still, he couldn''t find the Soul Nourishing Grass.

    " Well, They usually grow around water bodies where Spiritual Qi is abundant." Yang Shi muttered. Yang Shi began to climb on the steep mountain, To get a better view of the surrounding. Hee stood on the peak as he activated his Celestial View. Suddenly, He can see everything clearly in a few kilometers.

    " Hmm, Those ces might have Soul Nourishing Grass." Yang Shi thought. " Well, I am a bit hungry, so I should hunt some game first." Yang Shi smiled wryly. He came down from a mountain and killed a ck bear, which was a ferocious beast. After finishing his lunch, he got up and resumed his search.

    " Arrgh, Fuck. It has been three hours, and I still couldn''t find it." Yang Shi massaged his be as he walked forwards. He searched in a radius of fifty kilometers, yet all h found some low ranked medicinal herbs.

    " It seems I have to go deeper." Yang Shi scratched his head. Another day passed with training and search for Soul Nourishing Grass. On the Third day, Yang Shi saw a water pool. But what attracted his eyes are a pitch-ck rock near the shore.

    " Huh? Isn''t that ck Marsh Rock? If that thing is here..." Yang Shi''s face turned happy as he rushed at it. Although it looked like a football-sized rock on the surface, After Yang Shi dug it out it is wayrger than that. After Yang Shi pulled out the rock, with a light whack, He broke it into two pieces. Surprisingly, There was a small nt inside. It was brown in color, with a small yellow flower on its top.

    " Ground Dragon Flower, Grows inside of rocks that absorb earth element energy from the ground. With this, I can''t get the Hundred Blood Refining Roots." Yang Shi smiled as he put it in his spatial ring.

    " Well, I guess I should resume my training. Soul Nourishing Grass, Where the fuck you have disappeared?" Yang Shi muttered. ording to his sources, Soul Nourishing Grass should be around here, But somehow all of them vanished in thin air.

    " Well, I am already in the zone of Demonic beasts. I wonder if I can get Soul Nourishing Grass there." Yang Shi thought. The forest became denser as therge trees touching the clouds. The spiritual qi of surrounding also increased.

    *RAAAAA*

    Not after long, A huge ck bear with gray skin appeared in front of Yang Shi. " Eh, A Stoneback Demon Bear?" Yang Shi startled a bit, but then a grin appeared on his face. " Ah, Your power must be the same as the second stag Primordial Spirit Realm. Have a taste of my saber." Yang Shi unsheathed his saber as he made a sh at the demonic bear.

    *ROAAAAR* The bear let out an angry roar as it pounced at Yang Shi. " Die, You beast." Yang Shiughed. " Gold Splitting." Yang Shi roared as a pale yellow light shrouded his saber.

    *WHACK* The pouncing bear crashed on the ground, and lied still. A clear wound on its chest, where blood is spurting out like a red fountain. " Wow, It''s a one-hit kill. The hide of Stoneback Demon Bear is extremely strong. Yet with my technique, My saber cut this as a hot knife cut through butter." Yang Shi smiled. One needs to use a good amount of power with a low Spirit grade weapon to cut the hide of Stoneback bear. But the Heaven Cmity saber didn''t flinch a bit.

    " Seem you are hiding a quite bit of secrets, eh?" Yang Shi fondled his saber as he remarked. The saber hummed as if it''s responding to Yang Shi. Yang Shi became startled after seeing this.

    " Well, I guess, Tonight''s dinner will be heavy." Yang Shi muttered as he looked at the corpse of the Demonic beast. As evening fell, Yang Shi took out the beast core from its head and washed off the bear''s meat. As he began to roast it, a sound from far surprised him.

    " Huh? It seems People fighting there."

 Chapter 103: Seeing White Fang again

    Chapter 103: Seeing White Fang again

    " What is happening there?" Yang Shi rushed to the fighting ce. Yang Shi was using his Starlight Burst, so he reached there in almost no time. He hid in a nearby bush as he spectated what''s happening.

    He saw two groups of people were fighting. One of them wearing the pitch-ck robe. All of them wearing various masks to hide their identity. Against them were a group of gray-robed people, but all of them were wearing simr masks.

    The situation was very chaotic there. Both parties are no weaklings. Each of them had a higher cultivation than the second stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. They possessed powerful techniques and Spirit Grade weapons.

    " Steward Lu, You finally fell to our trap." One of the gray-robed men sneered as he attacked the ck-robed people. He was wielding a broadsword.

    " Berserk Wave." That person roared as he shed out his broadsword. A red wave of qi charged at a person.

    " Wang Huai, Don''t be cocky." A ck-robed person with a white mask sneered. " Blooming Flower Fall." The ck-robed person gracefully evaded the blow of Wang Huai as he attacked him with his longsword.

    *SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH*

    Like petals falling from the sky, The ck-robed person delt more than a dozen stabs ina breath of time. Wang Huai became surprised as he hurriedly used his broadsword to block the attack. He jumped backward as he used his broadsword to sh at the ck-robed person.

    " Lu Xiao, You can''t escape alive from here." Wang Huai sneered. He swung his broadsword as he roared, " Berserk Warrior Strengthening" A blood-colored energy erupted from him as his body grew in size. His muscles bulged out as his eyes turned red.

    " Hmph, Before fighting with brother Lu, Defeat me first." With an arrogant taunt, another ck-robed person leaped in the middle of Lu Xiao and Wang Huai. He was wielding a silver spear. " Brother Lu, Help others. I can handle this bastard." The neer said to Lu Xiao. " Be careful, Little Brother Yun." Lu Xiao said as he dashed off to help hisrades.

    " Flood Dragon Rampage."

    " Raging Blood sh." With a roar, Ther person named Yun and Wang Huai engaged in a life and death battle.

    " Huh? Why do I feel I know this Lu Xiao? Wait, This mask!!! Isn''t it White Fang?" Yang Shi''s face turned serious as he recognized Lu Xiao. " Wait, Doesn''t that mean that all the gray-robed persons are men of Second Prince? But why are they fighting?" Yang Shi thought. He saw a few carriages behind. When He looked with his Celestial View, He became astonished.

    " So this where he is asking me toe. Indeed, It''s exactly five days." Yang Shi muttered.

    " Wait, One of the carriages is filled with mid-grade Spirit weapons. And another one is filled with medicinal herbs for Grade three pills. Hold Up, Soul Nourishing Grass? Those motherfuckers has an entire fucking sack of Soul Nourishing Grass!!!" Yang Shi fumed with anger.

    The Soul Nourishing Grass was short on supply for almost a year from now. It needs at least two hundred years of nourishment to disy its medicinal property. Although Soul Nourishing Grass is rare, It''s not rare to the point people couldn''t find it in a year.

    Yang Shi also saw a person hiding in the carriage. His cultivation was low, At the first stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. " Hmm, That figure looks familiar." Yang Shi pondered.

    " Do you think your Blood Moon Hall is really invincible? From now on, Traceless Ghost Pavilion shall rise." Another gray-robed person roared as he charged at Lu Xiao. Lu Xiao sneered as a phantom appeared behind his body.

    " Come out, Nether Gale Panther." Lu Xiao roared as a pitch-ck panther appeared behind him. " A top Royal grade Primordial Spirit!" That person was astonished.

    " Just because our Blood Moon Hall is not interfering, Not just any random groups of goons can call themselves the king of assassin world. Nether Gale Sword Storm." Lu Xiaoughed coldly as his longsword emanated wisps of ck smokes.

    The panther behind Lu Xiao roared as Lu Xiao shed out his sword. Many ck rays shot at the gray-robed man with rming speed. They truly resembled gales of theherworld. Blood sshed as that gray-robed man cut into a dozen pieces.

    " You DARE!" With a shout, another person jumped in front of Lu Xiao. " Goons of Second Prince, You won''t able to defeat us." Lu Xiaoughed. But suddenly, He jumped backward. Three small needles hit the grounds, where Lu Xiao was standing before.

    " Really? Sneak attacks?" Lu Xiao sneered. " Admit it, Bitches. Your Second Prince is going to lose." Lu Xiaoughed. " We have already looted three of your main shipments. Without resources, What can you do?

    " Hehe, Lu Xiao, You are looking down on us." A new person appeared from the darkness. Lu Xiao''s face turned serious. The neer wore the same gray cloth, But he wore a red mask.

    "It''s true that you have surprised us by stealing our valuable goods, But honestly, We can get back all of them. Catching the Evil Shadow is no problem." The red-robed man said with a smiling tone.

    Yang Shi was enjoying the fight from the darkness, but he became startled as the red masked person said his name. " Heh, Even I don''t know about his real identity, how can you?" Lu Xiao coldly asked.

    " Well, We have found a person who has seen him before. Well, We have enough chat. Now, Die!" The red masked person jumped as he threw needles at Lu Xiao.

    " Well, It seems both sides are quite capable. The ck ones, Who are from Blood Moon Hall, is more powerful than the people of Traceless Ghost Pavilion. But Blood Moon Hall is a bit short in manpower. And then, There are four lurking archers in the dark. But I don''t think I should get involved in this." Yang Shi This.

    " After we get rid of you, We will capture that Evil Shadow and take back what is ours. Then, I will bring back the cauldron of Second Prince from the Mo Family estate." The red masked person talked as he attacked Lu Xiao with his needles. Lu Xiao dodged them as he attacked with his sword. But suddenly, He felt a great danger from his left side.

    An arrow shot toward the heart of Lu Xiao. " Fuck, I can''t dodge this." He looked ahead as the red masked person wasing at him with great speed. If he evades one, Another will get him.

    " You can''t die, brother Lu. MOVE!" A voice startled Lu Xiao as someone pushed him to the side. " Little Yun! NOO!" Lu Xiao screamed, but the arrow already hit the waist of Little Yun. Little Yun dropped on the ground.

    " I...I killed Wang Huai. Brother Lu...Escape." Little Yun hoarsely said as he held his spear. " Damn, You motherfuckers. I will kill you all!" Lu Xiao screamed.

    Yang Shi closed his eyes as he took a deep breath inside the bush. " Well, It seems like I won''t able to evade this shit." Yang Shi remembered the words of Old Ghost- <em>'' You have already entered in the match. Evading the Second Prince won''t be easy.''</em>

    " For Mo Family, Ruxue, and myself, Second Prince has to die." He opened his eyes with murderous intent.

 Chapter 104: Sneaking on the enemies

    Chapter 104: Sneaking on the enemies

    " Fuck, How did they left me behind this? They said there won''t be any problem.I don''t want to die here." a man muttered as he shivered inside a dark ce. He could hear the sound of the raging battle. Even till now, the victor hasn''t decided.

    Suddenly, with a craking sound, Th darkness dissipated a bit. The man startled as he looked at it.

    " Wh-Who are you?!!!" He asked fearfully. In front of him was youth standing, with a demonic mask on his face.

    " My my, I didn''t think you will forget me this quickly." The youthughed as he removed his mask. " Bodyguard of Ye Zheng."

    The man''s eyes widened with horror as h looked at the youth. He was none other than Yang Shi. " Yo-You are Evil Shadow!!! HE-" The man screamed for help, but his scream died prematurely as his head fell from his neck.

    *CLANK* With a soft noise, Yang Shi sheathed his half unsheathed Longsword. Yang Shi just used the first move of his sword technique- Fleeting Light.

    " Not Bad. Its sharpness is good." Yang Shi nodded. He collected Soul Nourishing Grass. He came outside and saw two corpses, which he kicked to the side. They were the ones protecting Number One. He collected Soul Nourishing Grass and left.

    This person''s nickname was Number one, One of the three bodyguards of Ye Zheng. He was the second person whom Yang Shi had assassinated in Misty Tower City. He made Old two drunk, So he must have forgotten his face. Yang Shi killed the third bodyguard, So only this person can identify Yang Shi as Evil Shadow.

    After killing the man, He hurriedly escaped from there. As he used his celestial view, He saw there are a total of seven people from Traceless Ghost Pavilion. Four are fighting directly, and the other three are archers who are lurking in the darkness. But it seems those three are waiting for something. And from their clothes, It seems they are just working with Traceless Ghost Pavilion to kill Lu Xiao and his group.

    All three archers are one kilometer away from the battlefield. So unless someone uses their unique eye technique, finding them from here is very difficult. " Hmph, Distance isn''t even worthy of mentioning. I need to get rid of the trio." Yang Shi muttered as he used his Starlight Burst.

    " Hmm, Why do I feel something isn''t right here." Yang Shi again surveyed the area with his Celestial View but found nothing. He swiftly merged in darkness as he dashed toward the first archer.

    That archer was hiding on a tree. He was looking at the battle from far, But he startled as he looked bellow. " Huh, I saw some movements there!" He became alerted as he nocked his bow. " How is there!" He shouted as he looked around his surrounding. Suddenly, He felt a jolt from behind as the tree shook like an earthquake.

    " Damnit, What the hell1" As he lost his bnce and fell down, he shot a fir arrow towards the sky clearly, a distress signal.

    " Really? You bastards really annoying me." A cold voice spoke as the person unsheathed his sword. " Do you think you can kill me?" The falling archer sneered as he adjusted his falling pose. He took out his arrow and used it as daggers to fend off the Yang Shi.

    " Fuck off." Yang Shi didn''t wasted his time as he used his sword technique. The archer was horrified but s, he couldn''t do anything. Yang Shi''s sword shed as the archer''s body cut into dozens of pieces.

    But Yang Shi didn''t lose his vignce. He quickly to the bow from the archer and nocked an arrow. Using his Celestial View, he aimed at the second archer and released it. Yang Shi saw that the moment this archer shot the distress signal, The other two archers already knew his location. So Yang Shi wanted to take down at least one of them instantly.

    *PLUFF!* With a muffled noise, the arrow pierced the heart of the second archer in the dark. But then, The Yang Shi felt his hair stood on its end with the feeling of iing danger. Yang Shi saw three arrows shooting at him from behind. The arrows were in a triangr formation, which is difficult to dodge.

    *Fuck, It''s a sneak attack. But at least, You think I can''t dodge this?" Yang Shi''s mind ran furiously as he used his sword to block the iing arrows. " Starlight Haze!" Yang Shi''s sword turned blurred as it created many afterimages. He sessfully dodged the first two arrows and tried to hit the third arrow. But to his surprised, the arrow split into two as its speed increased. One aimed at his heart, and another aimed at his head.

    " WHAT!!" Yang Shi''s eyes widened. If he tried to block one, another would pierce him. Yang Shi''s eyes turned firm as he blocked the first arrow. As the second arrow about to hit him, suddenly it deviated from its path.

    *SHOOOSH* Yang Shi saw an unknown arrow hit the arrow that was headed toward him. Yang Shi became surprised, but not wasting his time, He quickly held the bow, nocked an arrow, and pulled the strings to his limit.

    *SHOOU* The moment he released the arrow, it disappeared from the sights. *PLUFFF!* Even before a blink of an eye, the arrow pierced the head of the third archer. The arrow dug halfway into his skull, so he died instantly. He died so abruptly that he himself doesn''t know.

    Yang Shi wiped his sweat as he looked in the direction where the mysterious arrow came from. Using his Celestial View, He saw a ck-clothed figure standing faraway in his opposite direction. Holding a silver bow with a mysterious pattern on it, The figure looked at where Lu Xiao and the red masked person of Traceless Ghost Pavilion is fighting.

    " Isn''t he is the same person who is with Old Ghost that day? Ah, He lost to me in Archery. It seems like he also works for the First Prince." Yang Shi thought as he nodded with gratitude while looking at him. He didn''t know if that person saw him or not, But Yang Shi got up and went to finish the battle.

    There are only four people remained from the Traceless Ghost Pavilion and three from Blood Moon Pavilion. Nheless, Lu Xiao himself handling two on his own. The red masked person and another felt pressure from Lu Xiao.

    " Nether Gale Panther, Darkwind Storm." Lu Xiao roared as he unleashed his trump card. ck colored wind gathered around him as his speed grew explosively. " DIE, YOU BASTARDS." He roared as he charged at the red masked figure.

    " Red Li, You attack and I will support. Piercing Thorn!" A gray-robed man shouted at the red masked man as he dashed at Lu Xiao, holding a sword. Lu Xiao jumped as his sword drowned with the ck colored wind. He furiously attacked the man charging at him.

    The Red Li nodded as he pulled out more than a dozen needles." Lightning Needles.". He shouted as he threw all of them at Lu Xiao.

    " Yoh, Not so fast."

    Azy voice startled the Red Li.

 Chapter 105: Moonlight Slash

    Chapter 105: Moonlight sh

    Traceless Ghost Pavilion never thought that this battle with Blood Moon Hall would result in their defeat. They have theplete n of Blood Moon Hall''s ambush, yet they failed miserably and lost almost all of their members.

    They already estimated the strength of Lu Xiao, but they never thought the Nether Gale Panther spirit can be this powerful. Lu Xiao rarely uses his primordial spirit. So nobody could have guessed that his primordial spirit can deal this much damage. Red Li was forced to use one of his trump cards= Lightning Needle. It''s a whole set of powerful needles that can hit on the vital spots of the opponent, giving him a slow and painful death. But it is a one-time use item, so he was reluctant to use it.

    But he doesn''t have any choice at this moment. So he threw all of them at Lu Xiao. But he never thought that someone would interrupt him. With a sh of a sword, All the needles deflected. Without any dy, Red Li shouted, " Archers! Cover Fire!." But nothing happened. Red Li looked around with befuddled eyes. " What? Ar trying to call the hidden archers? They are long dead." In front of him, A white-robed young man stood, with a bronze color demonic mask on his face.

    Although Lu Xiao was fully immersed in his battle, He still saw the white-robed young man. First, He became uneasy to saw an unknown person here, But when he saw the mask, He instantly recognized Yang Shi. He sighed a breath of relief as he focused on his battle again.

    " I was very surprised When I found out that you almost managed to dig out my identity from Misty Tower City. I have actually forgotten about the bodyguards of Ye Zheng. Thankfully, You guys helped me a lot." Yang Shi, wearing a demonic mask, said coolly.

    " Yo-You are Evil Shadow!" Red Li stammered. " Correct answer, Unfortunately, No reward." Yang Shi pped. Red Li was going to shout when he saw the other two members of Blood Moon Halling there, after killing their enemies. Only Red Li and another person, Who was fighting with Lu Xiao remained from their group. Suddenly, Lu Xiao and the other person jumped back as they stopped fighting.

    " So, Would please start spewing the information about your boss?" Yang Shi asked yfully as he swung his Longsword. Red Li sighed as he nced at the remaining person of Traceless Ghost Pavilion.

    " Xi Zhou, Do it." Red Li said.

    " Red Li...It seems we don''t have any choice." Xi Zhou sighed. " Yoh, Stop chatting." Yang Shi shouted.

    " Hehehe, Evil Shadow, You are truly impressive. You guys may have won, but it doesn''t mat that we have lost." Red Li smirked. " Huh?" Before Yang Shi could understand anything, Red Li pulled out a talisman. " STOP HIM!" Lu Xiao shouted. Yang Shi felt a bad premotion as the talisman lit up. Xi Zhou also took out the same talisman and lit it.

    *SWISHHHH* With howling wind, Red Li and Xi Zhou dashed off in two different directions. Yang Shi closed his eyes as he clutched his fist tightly.

    " YOU SON OF A BITCH!" Yang Shi shouted as he dashed toward Red Li. " They have used Fleeting Wind Talisman. You can''t catc-" Lu Xiao was saying helplessly but stopped midway. He saw Yang Shi has already disappeared out of his eyes. Moreover, A dark figure darted past Lu Xiao as he shooted arrows continuously.

    " Yo-You!!! When did Young Misse here?" Lu Xiao stammered as he bowed. But that ck-clothed person didn''t reply as he chased Xi Zhou.

    Yang Shi never used Starlight Burst to its full limit for a long distant chase, but he was using it now to catch Red Li. Yang Shi felt he was traveling at the speed of sound.

    " WHAT!!!" Red Li''s eyes almost popped out as he saw Yang Shi was closing by. He channeled more spiritual qi into the talisman as he increased his speed.

    " Let''s see brat, How long you can keep up with your Spiritual qi." Red Liughed as he ran. " Really?" Yang Shi sneered. Starlight Burst was indeed draining his spiritual qi at a faster rate. But it doesn''t mean that Yang Shi doesn''t have any other way. With a sh, A crimson-colored ring appeared behind him. Yang Shi felt the spiritual qi surrounding him rushed into his dantian.

    After half an incense stick of time, Red Li began to slow down. " How the hell you could keep up with the Fleeting Wind Talisman? Your cultivation is three stages lower than mine." Red Li screamed.

    " So? It''s just that you are weaker than me." Yang Shi sneered, but in reality, he began to feel tired. " Heh, Kid, I admit you are better than me, but it is not enough." Red Li cackled as he bit his finger and let his blood fall on the Fleeting Wind Talisman.

    Yang Shi got a bad feeling that if he didn''t stop Red Li now, he would never able to catch him again. " STOP!" Yang Shi roared as he unleashed the skill of his White Tiger Primordial Spirit- Aura of ughter.

    "BOOM* A thin gaseous aura erupted from yang Shi''s body as it rushed toward Red Li. Red Li faltered as his vision turned a bit blurred. He felt that he has fallen into a sea of corpses and blood.

    " This! That boy''s killing intent has materialized into reality! No, there is something else in this killing intent. As if...An invisible aura of tyranny. No, I must finish the ritual fast." Red Li bit his tongue to sober up as he hurriedly draws his blood on the talisman. But s, It was toote. That one moment of distraction was enough for Yang Shi.

    He pushed his Starlight Burs to its utmost limit as he pounced at Red Li. " Moonlight sh." Yang Shi said with a light tone as he did a vertical sword sh at Red Li. Yang Shi''s Longsword hummed as a silvery ray shot out from it. Red Li felt an undescribable feeling like he was falling to both sides at the same time.

    " Eh?" Red Li muttered as his vision turned ck. His two perfect halves fell to both sides. Yang Shi finally stretched his body as he sighed. " Man, Just what kind of talisman was that?" Yang Shi muttered. Yang Shi inhaled a deep breath and kicked the corpse of Red Li. " Damn bastard. Because of you, I have to face humiliation. If I can''t find any good stuff fromyou, I swear that I will hang you naked outside of the Firmament City." Yang Shi spat as he rummaged through the storage pouch of Red Li.

    " Vital Energy pill, Bloodlust Pill? No, I don''t need this. Oh? Ohoho, Oh my god! A Sky Enchating Pill?! *Huuuu* I didn''t expect that I will see you here!" Yang Shi''s eyes lit up with greed. " Now adding this one and the one I will get after exchanging Soul Nourishing Grass, I can instantly level up to the Seventh Stage of Primordial Spirit Realm. Ahahahaha." Yang Shiughed as he rubbed his nose.

    " Eh? What''s this?" Yang Shi a jade box in the spatial ring. Inside it was a ck piece of paper talimsan. "This..." Yang Shi became speechless.

 Chapter 106: Good Fortune

    Chapter 106: Good Fortune

    " Holy Fuck! This is an Invisibility Talisman!" Yang Shi felt his luck today is heaven-defying. Only Runemasters can draw talismans. Almost all Runemasters are at Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator. Whether it''s drawing Talismans, Concocting Fourth rank Pills, or Forging True rank weapons, One needs to cultivate their Soul energy.

    The soul is a mysterious thing, Which could onlyprehend by cultivators of Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Cultivating soul energy can enhance it into the Divine sense. Yang Shi knew what divine sense means. It''s a type of mental energy, whiches from the soul. It is used to scan a wide area, detect invisible things. It can be used as a powerful mental attack.

    It is very rare to see anyone who can utilize Divine sense before the Violet Pce Expansion realm. But Yang Shi knew that it wasn''t the truth. In Samsara Emperor''s memory, There are uncountable geniuses Who can utilize divine sense upon birth! There are many races, Who are gifted with soul energy from birth. There are also many techniques that can awake the soul energy before Violet Pce Expansion Realm.

    " Hmm, now I have be a Master cksmith, should I try to be an Alchemist? Or awake my soul and be a Runemaster? Anyway, I need to back for now." Yang Shi thought as he returned to Lu Xiao.

    ...........................................

    " Young Miss, I never thought that our n would be exposed like that. It''s my fault. Please punish me on First Prince''s behalf." Lu Xiao knelt before the ck-clothed figure. Besides its legs, the corpse of Xi Zhou lied. His back was pierced by almost a dozen of arrows.

    " Well, rather than whining here, Do you know about the moles?" The ck-clothed figure said with a melodic voice like a fairy is speaking. " Yes, guessing from today''s ambush, I have already known those bastards who have sold us." Lu Xiao greeted his teeth.

    "It''s better that they showed up themselves early. Tsk tsk, They really underestimated the strength of Blood Moon Hall. Did they thought that Blood Moon Hall is just an organization created by a bunch of assassins?" The ck robes girl scoffed.

    " I wonder If Brother Evil able to catch Red Li?" Lu Xiao muttered. " Humph, Although that fellow is detestable, I think he should able to injure Red Li heavily. Killing him...is pretty much impossible." But this time, The girl spoke in a male speech, pretty coarse.

    " Young Miss, Just why are you disguising yourself?" Lu Xiao scratched his head as he smiled wryly. " Hmph, That person is just hell of a pervert. Even you can''t see it, My natural instinct telling me." The ck robed girl scoffed. Without taking off her disguise, no one can tell that she is a girl.

    " Well, It seems you guys sorted out everything?" A burst of heftyughter came from the forest. Yang Shi emerged from the darkness, wearing his bronze mask.

    " Brother Shadow, What happened to Red Li?" Lu Xiao asked. " What else? I finished that bastard." Yang Shi harumphed. " Huh?" Both Lu Xiao and the ck-robed girl were astonished. " Are you telling the truth?" Lu Xiao asked hastily.

    " Yes. That guy''s storage pouch was loaded. I got a Sky Enchanting Pill." Yang Shiughed. Of course, He didn''t tell me anything about the Invisibility Talisman. That''s more precious than the Sky Enchanting pill.

    " It seems you do have some skills." The ck-robed girl snorted with a male voice. " You didn''t saw even a fraction of my true power." Yang Shi said with a proud tone. " Honestly, Thanks for saving my life, although I wouldn''t have died with one arrow." Yang Shi chuckled as he said to the ck-robed person.

    " Still bragging, eh? One day, You would found yourself dead even before you know you are dead." The ck-robed person sneered. " Anyway, I am a person who never likes to owe a favor, so I will return to it soon." Yang Shiughed as he patted on the shoulder of ck-robed person. But while he was patting it, Yang Shi suddenly got an urge to squeeze it. Yang Shi previously thought that this person would be pretty muscr, But while squeezing his shoulder, he felt he was squeezing a soft dough. It was so squishy that Yang Shi thought its shoulder of

    " Wh-what are you doing?!!!" the ck-robed person pped the palm of Yang Shi as he shrieked. Yang Shi also came back to his sense as he smiled wryly. "It''s your fault. No wonder you chose Bow as a weapon. Your physical body is weak as tofu, as a girl." Yang Shi retorted.

    The ck-robed girl fumed with anger but also scared for a moment. " Did he find out the truth?" But then she shook her head and pretended to be a man. " So what? It''s none of your business." she shouted. She turned around and vanished from the spot.

    " What a weird guy." Yang Shi muttered. " Ah, Brother Shadow, I forgot to ask, Why are you here in the first ce?" Lu Xiao suddenly remembered this question. " Well, Count this as your luck. I was looking for Soul Nourishing Grass, but I couldn''t find it anywhere. So I came deeper inside the forest." Yang Shi said.

    " Brother Shadow has helped us today. I will definitely remember your favor." Lu Xiao said as he cupped his fist. " Hahaha, Truth to be told, It must be pretty amazing to be the steward of First Prince." Yang Shiughed. Lu Xiao could only smile forcefully. " Brother Yang, Are you busy now?" Lu Xiao asked.

    " Not really. Why?" Yang Shi said. Lu Xiao''s eyes turned cold as he spoke, " Brother Yang, Looking at the situation, You must have understood the gravity of the turmoil in the Royal capital. I have already found out the traitors who disclosed about today''s mission. So, Would you help me to eradicate those bastards?" Lu Xiao asked.

    " Will there be rewards?" Yang Shi asked slyly. He didn''t deny the proposal of Lu Xiao right away. Lu Xiao also became surprised that Yang Shi didn''t refuse this time. " Indeed, We can give a satisfactory reward to brother Shadow." Lu Xiaoughed.

    Yang Shi looked around and said, " Shouldn''t we clean the mess here?" Lu Xiao signaled his two henchmen. He looked at Yang Shi and said, " Even we clean every bit of here, it''s really no use. The second prince might already know about what happened today." Lu Xiao sighed. Yang Shi felt a wave of unease as he heard this. " Just how influential a prince is?" he thought.

    Yang Shi walked toward the carriage which was filled with medicinal herbs. " Abundance of Second-grade herbs and a good amount of Third-grade herbs. What the fuck? Is he nning to raise a whole army with powerful pills?" Yang Shi became startled. He collected almost half of the herbs.

    " What do you think? The second prince has top-grade Alchemists, cksmiths, and Runemasters in his faction." Lu Xiaoughed. " Well, First Prince can''t be too weak either." Yang Shi chuckled. Since he dared to kill people from Traceless Ghost Pavilion, He can be considered as people of the First Prince faction. But of course, Yang Shi not going to believe everything about them. After all, It''s all politics.

    " Well, Shall we go now?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Of course." Lu Xiao let out a murderousugh.

 Chapter 107: Purging Traitors

    Chapter 107: Purging Traitors

    " Haha, Guo Cheng, You did an excellent job. His Excellency Second Prince will definitely give you a hefty reward." A beardy manughed. In front of him bowed a young man.

    " Lord Chen is magnanimous. It wasn''t really easy to learn about their n. I just hope to get a top grade Purple rank cultivation technique," Guo Cheng said with a respectful tone.

    Cultivation techniques are even more precious battle techniques. Using a cultivation technique is far more convenient than directly absorbing qi from nature. A peak Purple grade cultivation technique can help a cultivator to reach the Violet Pce Expansion realm.

    " Of course, a peak Purple rank cultivation technique might be rare outside, But Second Prince can easily give you that." Lord Chenughed. Then he looked at an old man who was looking outside from the window.

    What are you looking at, Old Fu?" Lord Chen asked.

    " I wonder Why Xu Zhou didn''t send the signal of victory?" Old Fu muttered as he looked outside.

    " Heh, They must be torturing those fools. Ahahaha, just wait for some time." Lord Chenughed. " I hope nothing unexpected happened to them." Old Fu said. " Hmph, What could possibly happen? 20 assassins from Traceless Ghost Pavilion, Three top-grade archers who can shoot from 10 miles away. Both Red Li and Xi Zhou have powerful talismans. What thing can go wrong? He must being back with the skull of Lu Xiao." Lord Chen sneered.

    " Lord Chen is wise." Old Fu nodded.

    " Hmph, What wise? He is nothing more than a foolish fish on a chopping board." A sneered sacred three of them. The trio saw a young man with a bronze demonic mask stood on their door.

    " Wh-Who are you? You dared to trespass in Lord Chen''s manor?" Guo Cheng shouted. " Pathetic traitor, You really changed your side faster than flipping a coin." Another coldughter startled the trio as the new person emerged from the windows and gave Old Fu a kick.

    *BOOM*

    In front of this sneak attack, Old Fu was helpless. He flew back and mmed into the wall, creating cracks there. The kicker was another young man with a White mask, Who had two rows of white hair on his hand.

    " Lu Xiao! You are alive?" Lord Chen became astonished as he recognized him. He really couldn''t believe that 23 people can''t kill 10 people of Blood Moon Hall.

    " Hah, Guo Cheng, Wee trusted so much, yet you dare to betray us?" Lu Xiao uttered with a murderous tone. Guo Cheng gulped but quickly assured himself. " Hmph, It''s just two of them. Lord Chen and Old Fu are both at the Seventh stage of the Primordial Spirit realm. And Lord Chen recently had a breakthrough in his cultivation technique." Guo Cheng thought as he smiled coldly.

    " Lord Lu, A wise man must know when to change side. Sine Second Prince offered me two Sky Enchanting Pill and a Peak Purple grade cultivation technique. I naturally went to his side." Guo Chengughed shamelessly.

    " Motherfucker, You are getting two Sky Enchanting Pills just for selling information?" The Bronze masked man raged as he delivered a kick on the backside head of Guo Cheng. Poor Guo Chng was only a cultivator of the initial Fifth stage. Under the pure brute force of Yang Shi, his head crushed into the floor. " Indeed, Guo Cheng. But a wise man should also remember the consequences of choosing the wrong side." Lu Xiaoughed.

    *BAM*

    " Impudence! You dare toe here and create ruckus?" Lord Chen shouted. " Lu Xiao, You could have escaped, but you barged into the gates of hell." Lord Chenughed.

    " Hmph, Let''s see who is going to hell today." Lu Xiao sneered as he pulled out his sword. " Hmph, You are courting death!" Old Fu got up as he wiped the blood from his mouth.

    " Crimson Jade Fist!" Lord Chen roared as his fist shone with a radiant red light. He threw a punch at Lu Xiao. Old Fu made a dozen of hand seals as it glowed with a brown light.

    " Earth Capturing Hands." He pped his arms on the floor. With a heavy tremor, two earthen palms merged from the ground to catch the feet of Yang Shi. Yang Shi sneered as he suddenly disappeared from his position.

    He encountered a simr tchnqiue when he went to assassinate Bai Xuan of Leaping Carp Town. He learned that we would able to counter such a technique if he doesn''t stand in one ce. Since the room has limited space, His Starlight Burst can overpower anyone in terms of instant speed.

    Old Fu became startled as he saw yang Shi appeared in a different ce. He chanted an incantation as the light on his palm became brighter.

    " Earthen Spikes." Old Fu shouted as spikes made from earth erupted from the ground, Like a porcupine''s spikes. Yang Shi lept from the ground as three spikes shot out from there. His eyes turned azure as he activated Celestial view. Everything became slow in his eyes. Yang Shi instantly saw the pattern of the spikes. He activated Starlight Burst again and dashed toward Old Fu.

    " Starlight Haze!." Yang Shi unsheathed his longsword as he used the second stance of Sword Art of Ster Night. His Longsword shone as it turned into many shadows. Old Fu hurried joined his palm as a wall emerged in front of Old Fu. Yang Shi smirked as rotated his sword as attacked the earthen wall.

    *BOOM* Although it prated into the wall, it wasn''t deep enough. Old Fu sighed a breath of relief, but suddenly his face turned ugly. He looked down and saw the Longsword pierced into his heart.

    " Moonlight sh." With a soft voice, The long sword cut down the left part of Old Fu''s body. The moment Old Fu erected the wall to block his Starlight Haze, Yang Shi retracted most of his power as he condensed into the tip of the sword and performed Moonlight sh. So that easily went through the wall.

    *BANG* With a loud noise, Lord Chen fell back. Lu Xiao called his Nether Gale Panther spirit as h condensed energy into his sword.

    "Nether Wind Sword Storm!" Lu Xiao roared. ck wind erupted from his sword as it charged at Lord Chen. Lord Chen hurriedly pulled out his scimitar. But Lu Xiao''s attack was too fast to be evaded. Lord Chen''s body became a dismembered corpse in an instant.

    " Huff Huff." Lu Xiao was panting. He used is the ultimate ability twice today. " Brother Lu, Are you ok?" Yang Shi asked with concern. " No, I am fine." Lu Xiao nodded. Then they walked toward Guo Cheng. He was quietly lying on the ground.

    " Since he was pretending to be dead, Why not make him a real corpse?" Yang Shiughed. Guo Cheng''s body quivered as he got up.

    " Lord Lu, Please. Spare me! I...I was wrong. I can even tell you the n of the Second Prince. Please, Don''t kill me." Guo Chng kowtowed in front of Lu Xiao.

    " Do we need that?" Lu Xiao asked Yang Shi with a smiling gaze. " Of course... NOT!" Yang Shiughed. Hearing him, Guo Cheng''s mind drowned in despair.

    " NO-" Before he could even scream, his vision turned ck.

    " Hurry up, Brother Shadow. We have a long list of people." Lu Xiao said. Yang Shiughed as he followed Lu Xiao. That night, silent killings happened all over Firmament City.

 Chapter 108: Eight Mysterious Meridian

    Chapter 108: Eight Mysterious Meridian

    " Damn, Just how many people were involved in this." Yang Shi cursed. His body waspletely exhausted asst night he killed more than thirty peoples. His Longsword was reeking of blood now.

    Yang Shi felt his Aura of ughter has grown over two times. He shook his head as he hastily entered Golden Fire Tower. The middle-aged man was dozing but seeing Yang Shi see got up.

    " Ah, Master Yang, What brings you here?" The middle-aged man smiled as he asked Yang Shi. Yang Shi waved his hand as three stalks of grass and a nt with a yellow flower appeared in his hands.

    " Th-This is...Three stalks of Soul Nourishing Grass and Ground Dragon Flower! I didn''t expect that Master Yang would able to collect Soul Nourishing Grass in a week. This mission has remained iplete for thest six months." The middle-aged manughed. He took out two jade slips and burned them.

    " Master Yang, You should go to the Hall of Reward. Show the elder your badge and he will give you the reward." The middle-aged man said. Yang Shi nodded as he went to the reward hall.

    " Not Bad, kid. Here is your Sky Enchanting pill and Hundred Blood Tempering Roots." A skinny elder said to Yang Shi. " Thank you, Elder Xian." Yang Shi cupped his fist. " Wait, You didn''t go to your resident in Golden Fire Tower, Did You?" The Elder Xian suddenly asked.

    " Eh? Now you mentioned it, I really didn''t check it out." Yang Shi smiled wryly. Since he is a Master rank cksmith, He has a resident allotted in Golden Fire Tower. Yang Shi went to check it out, But he didn''t expect that it''s a big house. With arge courtyard, a garden, and a pond. It has a separate room for Alchemy and cksmithing. It''s three times better than the Gold and Jade Inn''s sky-tier room.

    " Holy Shit, No wonder, Golden Fire Tower really spends a load of money like metals. Fuck, I will leech off from them." Yang Shi''s eyes sparkled. Even the Spiritual Qi is five times pure than outside.

    " Mhmh, Since everything is prepared now, I should eat the Hundred Blood Tempering Roots toplete the great circle of Merdian Opening Realm. I can eat the sky Enchanting pills afterward." Yang Shi thought. He was just a hair''s breadth away from the Fifth stage Primordial Spirit Realm.

    So he wanted to bolster his physical body first. As Samsara Emperor instructed him before, He mustn''t practice any kind of Qi cultivation method or Body refining method before he finishes the Body Remolding realm of Origin Chaos Energy Gathering Art. Only two stages remaining- Merdian Opening Realm and Wisdom Awakening Realm.

    Yang Shi was confident that with the help of Hundred Blood Tempering Roots, He willplete both Merdian Opening and Wisdom Awakening realm in one go. He took out the herb and crushed it, drinking its juice.

    *BOOM* His Internal energy rumbled as Yang Shi gathered it into his dantian. He constantly refined the liquid with his Internal Energy. Then with a sweep, he guided it into his meridians. There are two main purposes of Meridian Opening Realm.

    First, It opens up the meridians and strengthens them along with other organs. With all meridians opened, The Internal Energy flow would be many times smoother than usual. The Internal energy would be purer and the strength of the practitioner would increase.

    Secondly, It also increases the storage capacity of Internal Energy. It increases the Dantian, so the practitioner''s energy storage besrger. In this cultivation world, Unless someone practicing an ancient immortal cultivation technique, There is no way they can increase the space of their Dantian before Violet Pce Expansion Realm.

    " First, Open One hundred Eighty main meridians. Then Ny-nine subsidiary meridians." Yang Shi chanted as he pushed the medicinal energy to open up his meridians. After opening the Main and subsidiary meridians, Yang Shi opened his Twelve Organ Governing Veins.

    " First- Ocr Veins." Yang Shi shouted. Ocr veins are connected to the eyes. Opening it would able to strengthen the vision of the eyes. But suddenly, Yang Shi felt a piercing pain in his eyes.

    " Keuuk!" Yang Shi''s body trembled. " What is happening? Shouldn''t my eyes suppose to feel gentle warmth?" Yang Shi cried in his mind. But then, He felt a cold sensation invading his eyes. " Th=This is the Azure Lotus." Yang Shi thought. He felt a change is urring in his eyes. " I can only hope for the best. Even I became blind, Iwill just find some pills to recover it." Yang Shi gritted his teeth.

    " Second- Heart Vein."

    " Third- Root Vein."

    " Fourth..."

    " Fifth.."

    Yang Shi opened all Twelve Veins. He could feel in Internal Organs, Five Senses bing more powerful. " Now, Time to open the acupoints." Although there are hundreds of acupoints in the body, Nine of them are extremely difficult to find. And the Nine of them is most powerful. In fact, most people don''t have any one of the Nine. But in Yang Shi''s body, All nine were present.

    " First Two, for Agility. One for long-distance, one for Instant burst of speed. Second Two, For physical power. Next Two - Dexterity and Footwork. Then one for Endurance and one for Energy. The final one is located on the forehead, Which is called the Acupoint of Mind." Yang Shi muttered as he opened one acupoint after another.

    " Phew...Now, The Meridian Opening Realm is Comple-... Eh?" As Yang Shi thought he hadpleted the Meridian Opening Realm, He became stunned.

    " This...Why there are eight extra veins here? No, That shouldn''t be true. What meridians these are? I never heard anything about this?" Yang Shi thought. But as soon he tried to open them, His body lurched as he felt a strong repulsive force.

    " What The hell?" Yang Shi became confused. He felt he indeedpleted Meridian Opening Realm, But these Eight meridians left him dumbfounded. Yang Shi circted his Internal Energy through his meridian and found he indeedpleted the Meridian Opening stage.

    " Hmm, But My Internal Energy has be purer." Yang Shi became pleasantly surprised. His Internal Energy became pale golden from gray color.Yang Shi slowly opened his eyes, but suddenly, a sharp pain assaulted his eyes as his vision became blurred. Yang Shi gritted his teeth as he blinked continuously. After some time, he felt his vision turned to normal. " Eh? I thought my vision would improve, but it''s the same as before."

    Yang Shi channeled Internal Energy to his palm as he pped the floor. *BOOM*With a slight tremor, cracks spread on the ground as a palm-size hole appeared. Yang Shi nodded with satisfaction.

    Suddenly, The pale golden Internal Energy gathered in his dantian and condensed into a gaseous ball. Then it exploded and filled every single cell with energy. Yang Shi felt a refreshing feeling.

    " Eh? Waaaah! Such a pure amount of energy!." A voice spoke in Yang Shi''s mind. It was the golden egg! Yang Shi pped his mind as he almost forgot about it. After getting the Liquid Silver Mirthil, The golden egg went to seclusion to refine it.

    " You made a breakthrough?" The golden egg asked. " Your strange energy has be so pure that I might able to hatch from this egg." It spoke with a voice of a little girl.

    " Then why aren''t you hatched yet?" Yang Shi asked. " Well, Although this strange energy is extremely beneficial to me, I need another kind of Qi to hatch." The golden egg shrugged. " What kind of qi?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " Demonic Qi from Beast core." The egg replied. " I need arge amount of demon qi to break this egg." " That shouldn''t be an issue. Deep Sky Forest has many Demonic beasts." Yang Shi replied.

    " Eh? You have reached the Minorpletion stage of Celestial View?" The golden egg asked Yang Shi with surprise.

 Chapter 109: Minor Completion Celestial View

    Chapter 109: Minor Completion Celestial View

    " Did I?" Yang Shi scratched his head as he asked with surprise. " Well, I can sense the special aura in your eyes. Since you have reached minorpletion, You would know why it''s called Celestial View.

    " With the minorpletion stage, You will able to see the grand momentum of heaven and earth. just by activating the Celestial View, You will able to see the karmic ties and secrets of fate. Past, Present, or Future, You will able to see them to a certain extent." The golden egg said with a prideful tone.

    " It means I will be a Divination Master?" Yang Shi asked with a great surprise. Divination Masters are no joke. They can predict the future and see the past. They are devilishly intelligent and extremely cunning. They are highly respected persons, Even Kings and Emperors have listened to them. After all, Who can mess with a person who can predict the future?

    " Don''t think too highly of yourself? Do you think Divination Masters are cabbages on the street? What I said now is the pinnacle level of Divination Master. The minorpletion will only give you the power to see Celestial images."

    " Celestial Images are phenomenons created by Heavenly Dao. Normal people, Even they have higher cultivation, They can''t see it. Only people who cultivated ancient eye techniques can see them."

    " Rather than exining to you, Let me show you. Activate your Celestial View and focus." The golden gg said. Yang Shi nodded as he activated his Celestial View. " Eh?" yang Shi cried in surprise.

    " Can you see something different?" The golden egg smirked. Yang Shi nodded in a daze. Using his Celestial View Yang Shi saw the world has changed around him. Now he could see deep within the earth, and he could find an ant twenty kilometers away. But the most important thing was, He could see the various aura of different colors in his surrounding.

    " What are these colors for? And wait, How could you also see them? You still haven''t hatched from the egg, right?" Yang Shi became startled. " Hmph, Are you stupid? I am from the Heavenly Roc Imperial n. Thee rocs of the imperial n have inborn Celestial View, Not to mention Ipleted Minorpletion since birth." The egg said with a prideful tone.

    " Hey, Aren''t you are my contracted beast? Can''t you give me a bit of respect?" Yang Shiughed wryly. " Hmph, First gain the ability, then talk. So, where I was? Yes, Can you see the patch of rd color here? It symbolized the abundance of Fire attribute qi." Yang Shi nodded.

    He had heard that Golden Fire Tower possesses a natural fire vein. The Golden Fire tower uses the fire vein to produce fire for Alchemy and cksmithing. After all, Not everybody possessed the Spirit fire of Fire controlling technique. So they used the borrowed power of fire vein.

    " Now I understand everything! I can see various types of qi, Which will be definitely a great thing. It''s an amazing skill to find hidden treasures." Yang Shi eximed. " Indeed, For example, You see the deep red line in the earth? It''s the Fire vein. The area with a deep red color where Fire qi is maximum. And look there, Can you see a green aura? That''s the Alchemy herb garden, Where located most Wood qi." The Golden egg exined.

    " Hahaha, This is such an overpowered technique. In the future, Finding herbs and ores will be easy as turning the palm. Hmm, I wonder if I could calcte the fortune of heaven?" Yang Shiughed. " Hmph, Don''t get too much happy. Calcting the fortunes of heaven? Do you know? A single mistake and you will turn into dust by Heavenly Lightning. Do you know how many experts died this way? Trying to divine the future isn''t easy." The golden egg sighed.

    " Meh, Didn''t there are fortune tellers on the Earth?" yang Shi hummed. Although most of them are swindlers, Some of them are real deals. He never heard any of them died by lightning. " Hmm, I wonder If Samsara Emperor has any Divining technique?"

    " Even if I have, Your qualification doesn''t allow you to cultivate it." A deep voice spoke inside Yang Shi''s mind. " Ah, It''s been a while." Yang Shi muttered as he responded to Samsara Emperor. " I was in secluded cultivation. You made remarkable progress." He said.

    " Can you tell me why there are Eight extra veins inside my body?" yang Shi asked right away. " Hmm, No wonder you couldn''t open them. These eight veins are Your inborn Spirit veins, Or should I say- Immemorial Evil Yin Vein?" Samsara Emperor softly said.

    " Immemorial Evil Yin Vein? The mythical physique that controls absolute Yin energy? Even if it''s that, Why I couldn''t open it?" Yang Shi asked in confusion. " It couldn''t be helped. When your original physique was suppressed by a divine formation, The Immemorial Evil Vein shut itself, preventing it to be sealed. To awaken it once more, You need pure Yin energy as a catalyst. But look at you. You, Who practices the Divine Are of TaiChi, forgot the basic thing." Samsara Emperorughed.

    Yang Shi sighed. He understood What Smasara Emperor meant. " But luckily, You don''t have to worry about that. It won''t affect you inpleting the Meridian opening Stage. Now you have entered the Wisdom Awakening Realm, Completing it would be easy as pie." Samsara Emperor assured Yang Shi. " Afterpleting, You will able to cultivate a Qi cultivation and Body cultivation technique from my memory. But be careful while choosing." Samsara Emperor warned Yang Shi.

    " Well, Even I face some difficulties, Won''t I ask you first? A great emperor who lived millions of years?" Yang Shiughed. " Even I lived for many years, I was bound to make the mistake." Samsara Emperor sighed.

    " You should go now and help that little egg." Samsara Emperor said as he became silent. yang Shi became thoughtful for a while. " What are you thinking?" The golden Egg asked. " Nothing, Let''s go to gather some beast core." Yang Shi said.

 Chapter 110: One Hundred Beast Core

    Chapter 110: One Hundred Beast Core

    Within a lush green forest, The morning sun gave its gentle light. A young man with a saber on his back, walking down on the forest road. Although the saber looked ancient and ferocious, the young man was giving off a youthful schrly aura. In front of him was a huge mountain.

    This young man was none other than Yang Shi. " Hmm, So finally reached Eastern Mountain." The Deep Sky forest was vast, So it has numerous main spots. Eastern Mountain was a long mountain chain, spanned across thousands of kilometers. It separates the Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom from the Thousand Radiance Ancient Kingdom. It was a neighboring kingdom with almost the same power as the Azure Feather kingdom.

    But the Eastern Mountain is one of dangerous location, Where lives Demonic beast and Ancient Beasts, who can even gobble up Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators. There is also a legend that there is a beast n living deep in Eastern Mountain. But this was also a great ce to train oneself and get materials from Demonic beasts.

    " Hmm, This is a pretty decent ce. There is an abundance of Demonic beasts. I can also sense a dozen of Ancient beasts. But they are very far, so no need to bother." The golden egg spoke.

    " Honestly, How many cores you need?" Yang Shi asked. " Hmm, If you are talking about Peak stage Demonic beast cores, Then I need at least a dozen." The Golden egg spoke after some thinking.

    " The WHAT?" Yang Shi became dumbfounded. Peak stage Demoni beasts areparable to the Ninth stage of Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm. And moreover, The Ninth stage Primordial Spirit realm cultivator may not be able to defeat the Peak stage Demonic Beast, As Most Demonic beasts have powerful bloodlines, tough physique, and human intelligence.

    " How can I kill Peak Level Demonic beasts? Unless I use my two Sky Enchanting pills to jump through two stages and reach the Seventh Stage, Killing peak rank beasts are almost impossible." Yang Shi denied. " Say how many cors you need from Mid rank beasts?"

    " At least a hundred, and on top of that, The chance of hatching also gets low a bit." The golden egg shrugged.

    "....." Yang Shi sighed, but he couldn''t do anything. A hundred Mid rank beasts. Even Yang Shi work hard for many weeks, he might not able to kill so many beasts. " Anyway, Better kill them rather than killing Peak rank beasts." Yang Shi muttered. " Tsk, You are such a coward." The golden egg sneered. Yang Shi pretended not to hear it.

    After walking for some time, they spotted their first target. A huge purple-colored rhino was sleeping under a tree. " A Purple Blood Rhinoceros, Mid grade beast, Peak fifth rank Primordial Spirit realm strength." The golden egg spoke. But as soon as she finished speaking, Yang Shi''s figure dashed forward.

    " Gold Split!." Yang Shi drew his saber from his back as he executed his first technique. The rhino''s eyes snapped open. s, it was toote to avoid Yang Shi''s saber. The saber was lit with pale yellow light as it split apart the body of the rhino. *RAAAA* With a loud wail, the rhino closed its eyes.

    " Hmm, Purple Blood Rhinoceros, Tough hide for armor and horn for forging weapon. And here goes the first beast core." Yang Shi cleaned the corpse of Purple Blood Rhino and threw everything into his Spatial Ring.

    Yang Shi again started walking, and after half an hour, he saw his second target. It was a twenty foot-long and three-foot thick crimson serpent. " A Scarlet Fang Demon Serpent? Same as Sixth stage cultivator." Yang Shi muttered. The serpent was eating a wild beast, but suddenly, it hissed as it looked in Yang Shi''s direction. Yang Shi became startled as he underestimated the perception of the serpent.

    " Human, You dare toe in my territory?*Hiss* It''s been a while since I ate human meat. You will fill my stomach today." The scarlet snake hissed in joy. " Even after you learned humannguage, the first thing you said is such a lie. Why I should fill your stomach? Am I your father?" Yang Shi shrugged.

    " Insolent human! You dare to foul mouth my father?!! Die!" The Serpent hissed as it charged at Yang Shi. " Gold Split." Yang Shi also rushed at the serpent with full speed as he aimed at its neck. But the serpent''s body was very agile as it dodged the attack of Yang Shi. It turned around as it tried to bite at Yang Shi''s shoulder.

    Yang Shi hurriedly moved back as he used his saber to sh at the serpent. But the serpent twisted its neck as it mmed its tail on Yang Shi''s back. Yang Shi couldn''t evade this attack as he flew forward due to impact.

    *BOOM* Yang Shi mmed into a tree as he broke it. The serpent didn''t rest as it spat crimson fog from the mouth. Sizzling sounds can be heard from it as it charred the ground as it touched it. Yang Shi hurriedly got up as he summoned mes on his palm. " Raging me Shield." A me erupted as it formed a shield around Yang Shi. The crimson fog burned by the me shield, But the serpent suddenly charged at Yang Shi. Yang Shi''s expression changed as it mmed its head against the shield.

    *BANG* The shield cracked from the impact, but Yang Shi predicted beforehand, so he jumped to avoid the attack. He jumped as he held his saber firmly and shouted, " Tiger Descends." He held the saber as he fell downwards.

    His eyes became fierce as he shed at the serpent. The saber gleamed with cold light as it ripped apart the neck of the serpent.

    " Ho-How...." The serpent hissed painfully as it mmed on the ground. The saber ripped apart its body as a ferocious tiger ripped with ws. Yang Shi sliced its head and took the core. He also collected it''s fang and poison sack. After all, Scarlet Fang Demon Serpent''s poison was so so strong that even Demonic beast powerful that it doesn''t dare to take the poison head on.

    Yang Shi hunted till the sunset, and He managed to collect a total of five cores. Yang Shi sat near a campfire and he was roasting some beast meat. He has experience before, so this time, he also brought some spices along with him.

    " Aii, I am so tired today. I wonder how many days it will take to gather all cores?" Yang Shi sighed. " Well, You still have the choice to hunt peak rank beasts." The golden egg shrugged. Yang Shi thought for a while as he took out two round pills.

    " One Sky Enchanting pill can increase my cultivation by one stage. I am at the peak of the fourth stage now, so I first breakthrough the Fifth stage and then use two pills to ascend to the Seventh stage." Yang Shi thought. After eating, Yang Shi sat cross-legged as he meditated. Since spiritual qi in the Eastern Mountain is pure, it didn''t take long to break through to the Fifth stage.

    " Now, Let''s begin." Yang Shi smirked as he popped a Sky Enchanting pill into his mouth.

 Chapter 111: Fighting with Peak rank Demonic Beast

    Chapter 111: Fighting with Peak rank Demonic Beast

    The moment Sky Enchanting Pill entered his dantian, a vast amount of spiritual qi exploded. But Yang Shi felt a little strange as he thought its effect was not up as the rumor.

    Sky Enchanting Pil is rumored as an overbearing, Peak third grade pill. It is so potent that they would feel their body swell due to the excess of qi. People feel their meridian torn apart, and the blood boils likeva. People spent several days to refine all the spiritual qi. But Yang Shi felt none of the above.

    He cleared his mind as he focused on refining the spiritual qi inside his dantian. The qi spread through all of his body as Yang Shi felt his cultivation is rising. But strangely, the effect of the pillsted for only twelve hours. After half a day, Yang Shi slowly opened his eyes as his face turned strange.

    " Just...What happened? Is this a fake pill?" Yang Shi screamed in his mind. After refining all the qi, Yang Shi felt his cultivation has only risen to half of the Fifth stage. It was like the effect of the pill was halved.

    " No, Judging from the color and smell, It was a genuine Sky Enchanting Pill. Then what happened?" Yang Shi felt a bad premotion as he hurriedly ate the second pill. After another day, Yang Shi finally achieved a breakthrough and entered the Sixth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

    " Aiiz, It seems something is wrong with my body. I am sure I have refined thest drop of spiritual qi, yet two Sky Enchanting Pill barely able to increase my cultivation by one stage. Hey, Lil Egg, can you tell me the reason?" Yang Shi sighed.

    " Indeed, Your body is the reason why the effect of the pills reduced. Normally, the body of the Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators are small as a pond. The qi containing capacity is very limited, so they achieve breakthrough faster. "

    " But you, on the other hand, has opened all your meridians, acupoints and expanded the size of your Dantian before the Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Your body has be like an open sea, so naturally, such pill''s effects would be reduced." The golden egg exined.

    " Well, Doesn''t that mean I shouldn''t havepleted the Meridian Opening stage?" Yang Shi muttered. " No, I didn''t mean that. You are actually lucky with your strange energy to wash your inner body and open up all meridians before the Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Your body is tougher than an average cultivator. In fact, You are almost invincible under the Violet Pce Expansion Realm." The golden egg hurriedly said.

    " Of course, I am talking about those cultivators, who doesn''t have True rank treasures, Can control Mystic rank technique or any other means." The golden egg added. Yang Shi''s face turned odd.

    " Well, In terms of treasures...I have Invisibility Talisman, and...uhh..." Yang Shi couldn''t say any other name of the treasures he posses. At that moment, Yang Shi realized that he didn''t possess any life-saving treasure.

    " Now you mentioned it, I don''t have any secret weapon. Firstes my longsword. Although it was made to be a True Rank weapon, It was still iplete. I don''t have the qualification to forge a True rank weapon yet. Thenes my Heaven Cmity Ancient Saber. Although it contains lots of mystery and it can automatically repair itself, but still not enough." Yang Shi sighed. Both of them are his regrly used weapon. No way he can say it''s some divine treasure.

    " Hmph, I am worried that I might really die before I cane out from this egg." The golden egg snorted. Yang Shi couldn''t refute her in this matter.

    " But with my strength, killing Peak rank beast isn''t much difficult anymore. So when youe out from the egg, won''t you be my life-saving treasure?" Yang Shi''s lips curved into a sly smile.

    " You-You..." The golden egg became speechless. He never thought Yang Shi was this shameless. The golden egg remained silent afterward. Yang Shi rested for a while, and after that, he began hunting again. The next day, Yang Shi managed to gather fifteen cores.

    " No, It''s too slow. I must kill peak rank beast. Aha, How could I forgot about that?" Yang Shi smacked his lips. He took out the poison sack of the Crimson Fang Demonic Serpent. He had collected the bow of the archer assassin of Traceless Ghost Pavilion. He pulled out some arrows and smeared poison on its tip.

    He got up and went deeper into the mountain. After finding a tall tree, yang Shi climbed on it. " Celestial View." Yang Shi muttered in his mind as the world around him became clearer as his vision filled with many colors. He saw two kilometers away, a giant tiger was lying on the ground. It was pitch ck with some blue spots on its body. Rather than a tiger, it looked like a ck bear. It''s called Chaotic Abyss Tiger.

    Yang Shi slowly pulled the bowstring and infused his power in the arrow. The moment he released the arrow, it suddenly disappeared from sight. *SHUAAAA* With a swift noise. The arrow shuttled through the air as it hit the neck of the tiger.

    " ROAAAAR!!!." A terrifying roar erupted from the mountain as it made all the smaller beast tremble in fear. " WHO DARED TO ATTAK THIS KING?!!" The tiger roared. It stood up, and with a swing of its paw, it pulled out the arrow. The tiger immediately noticed Yang Shi as it leaped in his direction. Only a few breaths of time, The tiger nearly approached yang Shi. Yang Shi also showed signs of urgency. He pulled out another two arrows and shot them one after another.

    " Insolent human, You dare to mess with this king?! !" The tiger lept and easily dodged the first arrow, but the second arrow still hit on his back. " Heh, puny human, do you think these weak sticks can harm me?" The tiger sneered. It was already under the Yang Shi.

    " Oh, great tiger king, these measly sticks can''t harm you, tut the poison can." Yang Shi smiled. Tiger''s expression changed as it felt something is strange. " Bastard! DIE!" The tiger roared as he jumped to catch YangShi. Yang Shi sneered as he also pulled out his Heaven Cmity and jumped down from the branch.

    " Tiger Descends." Yang Shi roared as he unleashed his White Tiger primordial spirit. An image of an ancient White Tiger appeared behind him as Yang Shi shed out his saber. The Chaotic Abyss Tiger eximed in shock. " Ancestor!." The tiger shouted, but it felt his body is going numb. At the same time, Yang Shi''s saber reached it''s the neck.

    With a sh of the saber, The bloodied body of Chaotic Abyss Tiger fell on the ground.

 Chapter 112: Daily life in Eastern Mountain

    Chapter 112: Daily life in Eastern Mountain

    Yang Shi collected the beast core from the mead of Chaotic Abyss Tiger. " It seems although the poison of serpent is powerful, it''s not enough to instakill peak rank beasts. At most, it will make them numb for some time." Yang Shi sighed. When Yang Shi attacked the tiger with two arrows, he knew that it would certainly dodge the first arrow. So the first arrow was a screen that covered the second poisonous arrow.

    " But even with the poison, I have to call my White Tiger primordial spirit to fully unleash the Descend of Tiger move." Yang Shi muttered. Now he only has poison enough to tackle three peak rank beasts.

    " Not bad, You have finally shown some courage. Now collect some more for me." The golden egg said yfully. " Lass, just wait. I will change my name if I don''t make you work your ass off." Yang Shi gritted his teeth. The golden egg giggled evilly.

    One peak rank beast is enough for Yang Shi to use his full power. So he didn''t dare to take them lightly. But now, he didn''t have much choice. He rested for a day and began to find more peak rank beast. Each peak rank beasts are like kings, and each of them had their own territory.

    " Tch, I don''t even have enough material to make a more powerful poison. It seems I need to tackle them head-on." Yang Shi massaged his temple as he rushed to the next location. With his Celestial View, He felt like a god is looking at the world. Not even an ant can escape his view. For the next beast, Yang Shi found out a Demonic Deer that has six legs.

    ||Five dayster||

    " Haah, Haaah." Yang Shi huffed as he wiped out blood from his mouth. In front of him was a lion whose entire body is icy blue. " RAAAAAA! Disrespectful human!" The lion roared as he spat a ball of blue light at Yang Shi. Yang Shi hurriedly used Starlight Burst to evade the ball. Where the ball fell, a huge icicle appeared.

    " Fuck, Snowstorm Lion isn''t weak at all." Yang Shi muttered as he held his saber horizontally and wiped his palm over it. The crimson suddenly became aze with fire. Yang Shi swung his me saber and charged at the lion.

    " ming Gold sh!" Yang Shi roared as he made multiple shes at the lion. Yang Shi made this move afterbining Gold Split and me Sword sh. The new move has an affinity of the Fire so it''s the bane of the Ice and Water-type elements.

    " Insolent Human! First, you dare to disturb me, and now you are trying to kill me?" the lion roared as it pounced at Yang Shi. Yang Shi sneered as he shed his ming saber at the lion. This was the fifth Demonic beast Yang Shi was fighting. He already exhausted all the poison. So there is no debuff effect on the Snowstorm Lion.

    " Face my Snow Burst." The lion roared as the atmosphere suddenly turned dark. With a sudden surge of cold air, many sharp ice daggers shot at Yang Shi. Yang Shi again activated his Starlight Burst and used his Heaven Cmity to break the ice daggers. Unfortunately, a few ice dagger struck him.

    His right arm and waist started bleeding, but the most surprising thing is that the ice dagger melted and turned into Ice qi and invaded his body. yang Shi hurriedly channeled Great Sr Extreme Yang Art to used Fire qi to repel Ice qi. " Fuck, Thi beast is really hard to deal with." Yang Shi activated his Celestial View and carefully studied the movement of the Snowstorm Lion.

    Suddenly, He saw an opening. Yang Shi clutched his saber in both hands as he dashed at the lion. The lion sneered as it condensed a ball of blue light in his mouth. The moment it was going to release it, Yang Shi suddenly disappeared from its position. Yang Shi appeared from the side as he shed at the head of the lion.

    " Eh?" The lion startled but it also sprang back to dodge the sh. But at that moment, Yang Shi''s lips curved. " Sr Ball." Yang Shi condensed a me ball in his hands. Although it was small, it was giving off a terrifying amount of heat. He threw it at the condensed blue light at the lion''s mouth.

    The lion''s expression changed greatly as the Sr ball touched the blue light. Yang Shiughed as he kicked the lion''s body and used the reaction to get away from it. The fire and ice collided, resulting in a disruption in the qi. The ball exploded with a great force, almost blowing the head of the lion. Yang Shi didn''t let go of this chance and finished the lion with a single sh. With a groan, the Snowstorm Lion fell down.

    Yang Shi''s body was sweaty. He also sat near the corpse, recovering his breath. " Fuck, The peak rank Demonic beasts have even awakened their bloodline and elemental power. Defeating them is even more harder." Yang Shi sighed. He thought about killing a poisonous beast whose poison can kill Peak rank Demonic Beasts, but the question is, how can he defend such poison from the first ce?

    Yang Shi didn''t learn alchemy, so getting contact with such poison can be fatal in Deep Sky Forest''s Eastern Mountain. After all, Ancients Beasts are living here. Yang Shi took out the beast core and put the corpse in his spatial ring. The core was giving off a icy aura as it was in pale blue colored.

    " Well, This Icy core is an absolute treaure for Ice element cultivators." Yang Shi muttered. " Too bad, I am wasting this precious cores like cabbages." Yang Shi sighed. " What did you say? You are wasting cores?!!" The golden egg jumped angrily as it spat.

    " Fine fine, I am just joking." Yang Shi hurriedly said. " Don''t worry about cores. I am only sucking the Demonic qi of the cores, not the elemental qi. In fact, What I am doing is making the core easily refinable by cultivators." The golden egg snorted.

    " Really? Thank you so much." Yang Shi''s tone made a 180-degree turn. He became happy after thinking about selling these cores at an exorbitant price. Demonic cores are rare and hard to refine. People need a good alchemist to refine the core''s qi into pills, which can be easily digested.

    Without the demonic qi, these cores can be directly absorbed, which means its price will be double or even triple. Yang Shi felt all his hard work really didn''t go to vain.

    " Hmph, what with that expression?" The egg snorted. Yang Shiughed wryly but said nothing. " Well, I can feel the Demonic beasts are getting stronger and stronger. How about it, I will improve your agility technique?" The golden egg spoke.

    " Will you give me Nine Roc''s Heaven Shifting Movement Technique?" Yang Shi asked with wide eyes. " NO." The egg refused instantly. How can she divulge the ultimate movement technique of the Roc n? " Then? What is it?" yang Shi asked with a depressed face. " By letting you enter the minorpletion stage of Starlight Burst." The eggughed.

 Chapter 113: Upgrading Starlight Burst

    Chapter 113: Upgrading Starlight Burst

    " How can I improve my Starlight Burst?" Yang Shi asked. " Starlight Burst is actually derived from the Nine Roc Heaven Shifting Movement Technique. Our ancestors researched for thousands of years to derive many techniques. Although they aren''t the same as the Nine Roc movement technique, still they are powerful in many aspects, In fact, they are even more powerful than any Heaven grade technique." The golden egg said proudly.

    Yang Shi nodded, but then he asked, " Does that mean I can still get the Nine Rocs Heaven Shifting Movement Technique?" " Why are so obsessed with my n''s founding technique?" The golden egg asked with a depressed tone.

    " Why not? I know what kind of power that technique wields. With just a step, one can cross millions of miles, With a stomp, one can ascend to heaven." Yang Shi smiled. " But didn''t I told you it has a bloodline restriction?" The golden egg said. " Well, After youe out from the egg, You can give me your vital blood. In that way, I can possess the Imperial bloodline of Ro n." Yang Shi made an evil smile.The golden egg became silent.

    " Fine, but my only condition is that you have to fully master the Starlight Burst." The golden egg said after some time. " Of course, I can do that." yang Shi nodded. He really doesn''t want to force the golden egg. Even he didn''t get the technique, Yang Shi can use others in Samsara Emperor''s memory.

    The reason Yang Shi wanted to get this technique is that even Samsara Emperor regarded it as one of the pinnacle movement techniques in the world. Unfortunately, there aren''t any other memory about this technique. " Well, Let''s start the training then." Yang Shi got up.

    " First, draw two circles on the ground. The distance must be greater than eight meters." The golden egg instructed. Yang Shi nodded and did what the egg said. " Now use Starlight Burst and travel between these two circles." Yang Shi nodded. He stood inside the first circle and used Starlight Burst. He suddenly disappeared as he rushed to the second circle. In just a blink of an eye, he stood inside the second circle.

    " See? You can instantly appear ten meters away. But that not the essence of the Starlight Burst. To reach the minorpletion stage, you need to create at least two afterimages. It should look like there are three of you standing at one ce." The golden egg exined.

    " Impressive! If I managed to create two such afterimages, It will be easy to deceive my enemies. It''s a perfect technique for an assassin like myself." Yang Shiughed happily. " Do you think it''s that easy to reach the minorpletion stage? People spend years to reach the minorpletion stage, not to mention their cultivation was at the Violet Pce Expansion stage. How can you reach it in Primordial Spirit Realm?" The golden egg snorted.

    " Hehe,ss, Are you doubting me? No genius in this world canpete with me, not to mention those old foggy." Yang Shi cackled.The golden snorted. But when she thought about secrets Yang Shi is hiding, she fell into deep thought.

    " Anyway, You can''t reach the minorpletion stage anytime soon. Let me teach you a special qi channeling method of the Starlight Burst. Use it when you are executing Starlight Burst. It will help you gain more speed in a short distance, but not for long-distance traveling." The golden taught Yang Shi. Yang Shi listened to everything with great attention.

    Three days passed like that. Yang Shi didn''t take any rest and practiced Starlight Burst. He gained my insights after discussing with the golden egg. Yang Shi was eager to try them out. After three days of intense training, Yang Shi managed to create a faint after shadow. It was very faint, And it onlysted for a second.

    " Not bad, You made some good improvement. Unless your opponent using any speed type treasure,I don''t think someone under Violet Pce Expansion Realm can catch you." The golden egg said with a satisfied tone.

    " Hmm, I don''t know. There are many hidden geniuses. But I think most can''tpete with me in terms of speed." Yang Shi rubbed under his nose. " Since when you became so humble?" The golden egg asked with a weird tone. " What? Do you think I am that bad?" Yang Shi snorted. " Hmph, I tried to be good, but this world didn''t let me be." Yang Shi snorted. " Bah, Who is good?" The golden egg snickered.

    ||Next Day||

    Yang Shi was tired and taking a nap, but suddenly his eyes snapped open. " W-What is happening?" He heard a loud sound from far west. As if two mighty powerhouses are fighting. Yang Shi hurriedly activated his Celestial Vision as he dashed in that direction.

    ...............................................

    " Little Birdie, You should give up upon the eggs." A voice cackled. " Birdie, You should listen to my husband. Hand over the two eggs, and we will et you live... Else, We will annihte your entire family." Another voice said. Yang Shi dashed there as he saw an incredible scene.

    A giant condor was flying. It''s back was reflecting silver lights, as if it''s feathers are hidden swords. Its eyes were sharp as it looking at its two enemies. In front of the condor were two ck colored lizards. Looking at them, one would feel that their hide is extremely tough. They are very big but not huge as the condor. The lizard''s golden eyes can enough to scare anyone.

    " My God! Swordfeather Condor and Two Darkme Demon Lizards?!!" Yang Shi blurted. " Shameless Bastards! You dare to eat my children?" The condor roared. " Birdy, Do you think I don''t know that you are feeble after giving birth to your children? If we eat one egg, our chance of bing an Ancient Beast will increase by many folds. How can we miss that?" One of the Darkme Demon Lizardsughed as it stuck out its ck tongue.

    Yang Shi understood what is happening here. These two lizards are a couple. They came to eat the eggs of Swordfeather Condor to breakthrough to the Ancient Beast stage. The beast race doesn''t need any cultivation technique. They just need to absorb spiritual qi and devour other beasts to break through to the next level. Although this looked easier than human cultivator''s cultivation way, The beast race cultivation speed is very slow.

    For example- These three beasts must be at least 500-year-olds. They can''t bepared with humans who can reach Violet Pce Expansion Realm in very little time. Afterying eggs, The Swordfeather Condor must be in a vulnerable state, But still, It''s power is more than the Darkme Demon Lizards, and it has the advantage as it can fly. But the lizards can''t b looked down on either.

    Yang Shi smacked his lips after looking at the situation. In front of his eyes, There are three beast cores are dancing. Although it''s dangerous to participate in this fight, The rewards are ample for it.

    Chapter 114: Fisherman Takes it All

    Yang Shi''s mind ran like lightning as he made ns to ambush. Normally he wouldn''t be a match for these peak rank Demonic Beasts, but since both sides are fighting each other, they will naturally exhaust all of their strength, and when they became weak, Yang Shi would finish them.

    " Bloody lizards, Have a taste of my wrath!." The condor ave a shrill cry as it pped its metallic wings. With a single p, hundreds of feathers shot out like a sea of arrows. The lizard sneered as it spat out a ball of ck me. It was extremely corrosive as it melted more than half of the feathers on midair. But still, some feather hit the lizard. Nheless, it only caused some superficial wounds.

    The female lizard opened its mouth and fired a beam of ck me. The condor hurriedly pped its wings as it created powerful wind gales to stop the ck mes. Powerful wind currents repelled the ck beam. Even Yang Shi''s eyes are closed by the power of the wind.

    " Wind sh." The condor roared as it dashed down to one of the lizards. Two des of wind shed at the lizards, The lizard sneered, " Firebreak defense." Its hide lit with ck mes as it jumped to dodge the wind des.

    " Birdie, You can''t defeat two of us. Give up when there is still time." The lizard sneered as it rebuked the condor. The condor''s face turned grim. " I can''t defeat you in normal terms, But what if I burn my vital blood?" The condor snickered.

    " Hah, If you do that, you won''t be living much longer." The lizard screamed. The ckme Lizard actually wanted to kill both the condor and its egg as consuming the condor would have an even better effect. But their power isn''tparable to the Swordfeather Condor. Unless they also burn their vital blood, they can''t defeat the condor. However, burning vital blood is something that can''t be done, unless it''s a matter of life and death. And burning vital blood can affect their cultivation base.

    " Why not? For sake of my children, I can do anything." The condor sneered its body began to shine with a pale blood light. " Here ites." yang Shi became nervous. He took out his invisible talisman and gripped it. His early confidence has shaken after see the Sword Feather Condor is burning its vital blood. In this state, It can even contend against Ancient Beasts. Yang Shi gnashed his teeth as was ready to activate the invisibility talisman at any moment. " Fuck, Do I have to waste it here?" Yang Shi smiled bitterly.

    The condor dove to one of the lizards as it attacked with its sharp w. It clutched the lizard with its w and stabbed its head with its beak. It was a very brutal attack as its blood sshed out from its head. The lizard cried loudly as it slumped on the ground.

    " Bastard! You dare to hurt my wife!!!." The male lizard roared as it jumped at the condor. It aimed at its throat, but the condor was in an overpowered state, it stopped the lizard with its wing. But the lizard was even more vicious. It clung to its wing as it used its ck me to corrode its wing. As expected, The condor cried painfully as it mmed down on the ground. Its wing was bleeding as it corroded by the ck me.

    " Haha, Do you think I give a damn about your strength? You bitch, You have killed my wife. Now die." " Hah, Let see who kills who?" The condor snorted as they both engaged in a brawl. It was a bloody fight as it was hard to tell who would win.

    " Now, Is the perfect chance." Yang Shi drew his saber and poured all the qi in it. the moment Darkme Lizard attacked at the condor''s head, Yang Shi jumped out from the shadow.

    " Tiger Descends!" Yang Shi roared as he jumped at the back of the lizard. The lizard was too focused on the condor, so it didn''t notice the attack from behind. But the reaction of the condor was fast, It also attacked the lizard with its w. "KHEUUK." With this pincer attack, The lizard has no chance to win.

    With a cry, it fell to the ground. Only at itsst moment, The lizard understood that a human attacked him from behind. The condor stood up with great difficulty as it stared at Yang Shi. " Heh, Even a human is looking down on us." The condor chuckled.

    " Well, If you haven''t injured yourself, I might resort to my treasure to kill you guys. But to think even at this stage, you are standing and talking with me." Yang Shi said with respect. " Unfortunately, You are destined to die here." Yang Shi held his saber as he said with a cold voice.

    " Do you think you can contend against me? A puny cultivator of the sixth stage of Primordial Spirit Realm?" The Swordfeather Condor''s eyes narrowed. " Haha, don''t try to bluff me. I have witnessed the entire fight from the dark. Don''t think I don''t know that you have burned your vital blood. You are a candle that is on the verge of dying." Yang Shi sneered. " Fuck, I can''t dominate even a kid." The condor sighed as he verified what Yang Shi said is true. He looked back at his egg as its eyes changed.

    " DAMN YOU, FUKING LIZARDS." The condor cried as it flew to its egg. One of the eggs was charred ck, while the other one was slightly burnt. The condor fell on the ground as it began to take a deep breath.

    " One of my children is dead." Thee condor said with a bleak face. " Hey, human, You would kill me to get my beast ore, right?" The condor asked Yang Shi. Yang Shi became startled by this abrupt question, but he nodded. " Can you save this child? Can you raise it to adulthood?" The condor asked again.

    " Why are you trusting me so much? Aren''t you afraid I will just refine this egg?" Yang Shi asked in surprise. "It''s my intuition. I can feel a powerful bloodline of our beast race from you. It''s like those Imperial beasts. If you agree to my request, It will be also a kind of blessing for you Moreover, I don''t have any choice. If left this egg here, some other beast might devour it." The condor chuckled bitterly.

    " Fine, I vow under the heaven that I will do everything to raise this egg." Yang Shi seriously said. " Ahh, This is better. Now I can leave peacefully." The condor closed its eyes as it fell to the ground. Its breathing stopped. yang Shi picked up the intact egg carefully as he sensed the sign of life inside this egg.

    " Lucky fellow. Now don''t worry, I will take good care of you." Yang Shi said affectionately.

 Chapter 115: Cunning Plan

    Chapter 115: Cunning n

    " I have nine cores of peak rank beasts and around more than twenty cores of middle-rank beasts. It should be enough for you, right?" Yang Shi asked with some hesitation.

    " Hmm, It''s barely enough." The golden egg hummed. " There aren''t any Peak rank beast in a hundred-kilometer pf area. All eight of them are dead now." Yang Shi frowned. " I think I have to manage in this." The golden egg sighed. But it was already better than its expectation.

    " Now all we need to find a ce with abundant spiritual qi." The golden egg said. " This is Eastern Mountain. The spiritual qi is already very high here. You won''t even higher?" Yang Shi asked with surprise. " Well, If we had more beast core, I wouldn''t have said this. But now, it is necessary." The golden egg said.

    " Hmm, Locating a ce with abundant spiritual energy won''t be hard." Yang Shi pondered. Yang Shi finally felt some ease after thinking that h won''t be hunting from now. But constant life and death battles with powerful demonic beast has honed Yang Shi. He has solidified his foundation and made progress in his saber art and Starlight burst.

    Yang Shi sat cross-legged in the nest of Swordfeather Condor. He closed his eyes as he activated both his azure lotus and crimson lily martial spirit. The azure lotus spirit made his mind calm, while the crimson lily created a crimson ring behind Yang Shi so he could absorb the surrounding spiritual qi at a faster rate.

    After cultivating for two days, Yang Shi opened his eyes. He took out the egg of Swordfeaher Condor. He suddenly had a thought as he asked the golden egg, " What if I use my Internal energy on this egg? Will it be beneficial to the child inside?"

    " Of course, In fact, It was something it couldn''t have dreamt in its three lifetimes. I don''t know what type of energy is this, but it''s extremely nutritious to beast race. Tsk tsk, Sometimes, Even I want to devour you." The golden egg chuckled.Yang Shi''s face turned ck. " Can you not joke like this? Besides, I am your master. Have some respect." Yang Shi snorted. " Bah, Who is the master?" The golden egg chided. " Then forget to emerge from your egg." Yang Shi coldlyughed. " You..." The golden egg became furious, but it calmed down.

    " By the way, Where did you acquire this technique? I never heard of this type of energy existing. Do you know,? If it gets to be known, it will cause a bloodbath among those gods and immortals." The golden egg said. " I don''t know. I identally got this in my hometown." Yang Shi answered casually.

    When he cultivated Origin Chaos Internal Energy art for the first time, His internal energy was in grey color. Then, It changed to a silver color, and now it''s pale golden. It could be seen that it was increasing in both quality and quantity. " But the thing is, the usage of Internal energy is very limited here. Although it has tempered my body before, It''s no match for the qi cultivator of this world.

    " But since it could bring such effect on the beast, I think there should be other us of my Internal energy. If it can''t be used for battle, It might have some strong supportive ability." Yang Shi thought. He channeled his Internal energy on his palm. After finishing the meridian opening stage, One can manifest Internal energy to the outside. Yang Shi put his palm around the egg gently as it poured the Internal energy into it.

    Although it managed to survive, It was pretty injured. After an hour of treatment, yang Shi stopped infusing his Internal energy. He could feel the life force of the being inside has increased. " Wow, your Internal energy is strangely powerful. By normal means, This child would have broken out from this egg after a year. But due to your energy, it mighte out after a week." The golden egg couldn''t be more astonished.

    " Haha, It seems I am truly the son of miracles." Yang Shiughed. " Can''t you be so narcissist?" The golden egg said with some contempt, but it was very surprised in its mind. Yang Shi was talking, but suddenly, he sensed someone approaching. He quickly used his Celestial view as he slowly hid in the wood.

    " Hahaha, we are so fortunate that we managed to get three Bloodfire Fruits. I am sure Senior brother Zhang would be happy." It was a group of younging. Yang Shi saw their uniform as his eyes narrowed. " Golden Sun Sect." Yang Shi smiled coldly. But he didn''t attack as he heard their conversation.

    " Hah, What you know? Senior brother Zhang is cultivating our sect''s zing Sunfire cultivation technique. If he managed to eat two Bloodfire Fruits, his cultivation technique would improve, and he might even break through to the next stage." One young man cheerfully said.

    " Moreover, Senior brother Zhang''s killer mover, Great Sun Palm will also improve. I bet He will give us hefty rewards." Another young man joined them. Yang Shi naturally understood everything from their conversation. These people are the Inner disciples of the Golden Sun Sect. They are working for a core disciple named Zhang Bin. Zhang Bin''s cultivation should be around the Seventh stage of the Primordial Spirit realm.

    " Well, The Imperialpetition is approaching, and there is our Sect trial as well. Brother Zhang wants to increase his strength quickly so he won''t lose to Senior brother Tang." They are discussing casually, unaware of the danger lurking in the darkness. Yang Shi ran his mind as he thought of a n.

    " Golden Sun Sect are cahoots with the second prince. Their mutual enemy is me, or rather than me, It''s Evil Shadow. However, I have injured one of their Inner disciples in Misty Tower city, in front to f everyone. But I don''t think they will go far to kill me right away. But the Second prince was even more troublesome. He must have known that I Bai Ruxue is with me. His suspicion thatI might be the Evil Shadow is greater than anyone. To deceive them all, I need to create a solid proof." Yang Shi thought rapidly. After a while, his eyes glinted with a crafty light.

    Yang Shi didn''t attack them immediately. He followed them for half of the day. After that, the group set up a camp and began to rest. Yang Shi hurriedly left to find an ingredient. " Hopefully, I can find it before the dawn." Yang Shi muttered. He needs a special medicinal herb to trick all these people.

    After three hours of finding, Yang Shi finally managed to get the herb he wanted. It looked like a fungus, pale white-colored. " Haha, Got it. The Mudcloud Fungus. Its medicinal property isn''t great, but it has another use." Yang Shiughed. He brought out some simr herbs from his spatial ring and adding the Mudcloud Fungus, Yang Shi squeezed them like making a flour dough. After some time, It really became a white dough.

    Yang Shi put it on his face and began to adjust. After his first adjustment, Yang Shi took out a mirror and looked at his reflection. " What the fuck? I am looking so horrible." Yang Shi smiled wryly. It was the first time he was changing his appearance, so it was quite normal that his first attempt would go wrong. After some time, Yang Shi finished adjusting his face. Putting a ck cloak and the demonic bronze mask on the face, Yang Shi went to the camp of the Golden Sun Sect.

 Chapter 116: Deceiving Them all

    Chapter 116: Deceiving Them all

    He actually made his appearance the same as he looked back on Earth. After he finished the Skin Tempering stage, His appearance of Long Xuan changed into a whole different person. Now, He neither looked Long Xuan nor looked Like Yang Shi of earth. " Hah, Who will recognize me here?" YANG sHI smugly said.

    " You really have a bag of underhanded tricks. I didn''t know that one can change appearance in this way?" The golden egg spoke. " An assassin needs to master both arts of killing and hiding." Yang Shi smiled faintly. He quickly put his Heaven Cmity saber in the spatial ring and pulled out his long sword." Tsk tsk, Time to ughter those innocentmbs." Yang Shiughed sinisterly as he disappeared into the darkness.

    ...........................................

    " Don''t you think Eastern Mountain has be quiettely?" There are five young men in the group. All of them sat around the bonfire as they were chatting. " Hmm, a Few days ago, I heard the sound of fighting. I think it should be two Demonic Beast were fighting." Another one said.

    " Indeed, there is too less amount of a beast on these days. As if they went to hiding." Someone said. " Enough, We don''t have the time to check these things. In five days, We will go back to the Sect and give the Bloodfire Fruits to Senior Brother Zhang. The sooner, the better." The leader suddenly said. But as he was speaking, he suddenly heard some rustling noise.

    " Huh? Who is there?!" The group leader drew his sword as he shouted. The others also became vignt as they took out their weapon. They looked around with serious faces.

    " Kek, Your perception is pretty good." A coldugh resounded in the dark as a ck-cloaked figure appeared from the bush. He wore a bronze demon mask, which looked very scary in darkness. He also had a longsword on his waist.

    " Who are you? Why did youe here?" One of the Golden Sun Sect''s disciples shouted. " Hehe, Why don''t you ask King Yama in hell?" The ck-cloaked figure snickered as he charged at the group.

    " Hah, Courting death!" [Tbh, I was waiting to write this iconic phrase XD] One disciple sneered as he also jumped forward to attack. The ck-cloaked figure sheathed his longsword.

    " KATCHHA" With the sound of the sword drawing, a light escaped from the ck cloaked man''s sword. The disciple, who wasing to attack, suddenly halted. Blood sprayed from his throat as he copsed midway. " First move: Fleeting Light." The ck-clothed person murmured.

    " Yo-You dare to kill him. Do you know who we are? We are Inner disciples of the Golden Sun Sect." One of the disciples roared. The ck-clothed figureughed. " I, Evil Shadow fear none under the heaven, Not to mention Golden Sun Sect. I feel extreme delight from killing the sects disciple." The ck-clothed figure sneered.

    " You are Evil Shadow? Hahaha, Great. You dared to kill Brother Tang Zheng and loot out the sect''s resources! Brothers! Let''s kill this bastard and take the two million golden coin bounty!" The group leader roared as he charged at Evil Shadow.

    " Sword of Scorching Sun!" The leader roared as he pulled out his spirit rank sword. The sword glowed with a red light as it shed as Yang Shi. Yang Shi sneered as he blocked the sword attack.

    " CLANG CLANG CLANG!." Swords collided as both of them fought fiercely or should say, only the group leader fought fiercely. Yang Shi was wielding his sword one-handedly. He was having a pretty easy time against the group leader.

    Although both of their cultivation is at the sixth stage, For Yang Shi, crushing him is like crushing an ant. But he suppressed his power to continue his little act. As they are fighting, The group leader suddenly made an upward sh. Evil Shadow was surprised as he tried to dodge the attack. But the sword struck his bronze mask as it split the mask into two.

    As the bronze pieces fell down, It revealed the face of a young man. He appeared to be a youth in his twenties. His face wasn''t any special, it''s just like one of the ordinary faces you found in daily life. To think a person with such an ordinary face could be a renowned killer.

    " Pah, To think the infamous Evil Shadow has such an ordinary face." The group leader said with some disdain. The face of the Evil Shadow became cold as he began tough. " Ha...Hahahahah. Good, Very good. Since you all have seen my appearance, You all have to die." Evil Shadow said with a sinister voice.

    " Hah, As if you have power. Brother,e and finish this bastard." The group leader roared. " KILL!" The other four roared as they attacked Evil Shadow in the group. A faint grin appeared on the mouth of Evil Shadow as held his sword vertically.

    " Starlight Haze." The longsword of Evil Shadow emanated a pale silvery light as it became hazy.

    " SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH." The longsword made a dozen of sh in one swing. None of the disciples could see the movement of the sword. But a momentter. They cried out of extreme pain.

    " Ahh."

    " NOOO."

    Miserable screams rang across the forest as four of them fell down. Their bodies are dismembered. But strangely, their body was cut cleanly, as a hot knife cut through butter.

    The group leader was shivering nonstop. Everything happened in the blink of an eye. He never saw such a bloodbath in his life. He felt his body was bing limp.

    " Well, How should I deal with you? Hmm, I am not a bad person so I will give you a quick death." The Evil Shadow smiled as he raised his sword.

    " Nooo, Big brother. It was my mistake. Please, don''t kill me. I...I will give you the Bloodfire fruits. Please, Don''t kill me." The group leader fell on his knees as he begged the Evil Shadow.

    " Well, If I kill you, won''t I get the Bloodfire Fruits? What is the reason for keeping you alive? Moreover, You have seen my appearance. I can''t let you go." Evil Shadow smiled as he shed down his sword.

    The moment it touched the body of the remaining disciple of the Golden Sun Sect, an explosion happened in the direction behind Evil Shadow.

    Blood sshed as the group leader fell down.

    " Fuck, It seems he caught up to me. I need to leave quickly." The Evil Shadow raged as he dashed off to the distance. After he left the ce, The group leader opened his eyes as he coughed out a mouthful of blood.

    " Huh? I am alive? Yes, The explosion earlier must have distracted the Evil Shadow, So his sh missed my heart by an inch. But even that is, I need to eat a healing pill." His mind quickly ran as he checked his storage pouch.

    " Haha, I don''t have any healing pills. I guess it was on the pouch of the second bro. Fuck, It seems I am destined to die here." The group leader smiled bitterly as a wave of dizziness assaulted his head.

    As he was on the verge of losing his consciousness, he felt someone is approaching. However, his vision cked out after that. A person came there, fed the group leader two pills, and picked up all of their storage pouches. After checking them, He took out a red-colored incense stick from it. He lit it at some distance and went away.

 Chapter 117: Damsel in Distress

    Chapter 117: Damsel in Distress

    " Why the hell you gave him the healing pill? You didn''t intend to kill him in the first ce?" The golden egg hurriedly asked Yang Shi. " Foolish girl, If I intended to kill him, then why I would disguise myself? I left him alive precisely because he has seen my face." Yang Shi snorted.

    " Additionally, I have fed him a sleeping pill. He won''t wake up for five days, and to reach his sect, he would take more than a week. And I have lit a beast repelling incense in a corner, so he won''t die before he wakes up." Yang Shi exined.

    " Tsk, quite cunning, aren''t you? But why you dyed his time of returning?" The golden egg asked again. " Who knows how many days will take to find a ce with abundant spirit qi?" Yang Shi rolled his eyes. " Hehe, don''t worry. Once Ie out, I will help you as much as I can." The golden egg said proudly. "You better." Yang Shi grinned slyly.

    Yang Shi climbed up a tall tree and used his Celestial Vision again. Unfortunately, he couldn''t find a thick stream of spiritual qi. As he was thinking to go deeper, the golden egg suddenly warned him. " Don''t go any deeper. There are more Ancient beasts than you can think. We shouldn''t go there for now." The golden egg said with some thought. " Well, don''t worry, I will find such a ce." Yang Shi chuckled.

    Yang Shi felt this the first time he left the human habitation for such a long time. Although training in the forest is good, Yang Shi felt a little weird for not seeing any human for almost a month. And the first group of humans whom he met was killed by him.

    " Well, I guess, Time to leave Eastern mountain for now." Yang Shi stretched his body as he used his Starlight Burst. Although he loved to walk down on the forest road, he used Starlight Burst to increase his proficiency.

    One could see a ghostly figure running in the deep wood. Its speed was so fast that it disappeared from eyesight in a blink of an eye. In fact, Yang Shi was enjoying this speed. He felt he was a racing car, reaching the speed of 300m/h.

    " Ahaha, such speed. I am afraid that even Ninth stage primordial spirit realm cultivators won''t able to catch me." Yang Shi''sughter echoed. Moreover, Yang Shi knew that this is just minimum speed. Cultivators in higher stages of cultivation can traverse millions of kilometers in one step or cross the worlds in one jump. Like every cultivator, Yang Shi also wishes to fly among the clouds and cross the space.

    " Like a carefree immortal, like floating cloud and flowing water..." Yang Shi hummed as he dashed down. He could feel the wild wind hitting on his face, which made him more excited. As Yang Shi was enjoying, a sudden cry surprised him.

    " Eh? I think I heard ady''s shout?" Yang Shi stopped as he activated his Celestial view. From far, he could see the situation clearly. It seems a bunch of bandits trying to rob a carriage. There are over ten bandits, and one their opposite, there are only si soldiers. He could also see a girl and a little boy there.

    " Haha, Lan family guards, leave behind you miss and young master, and we will let you go." A banditughed as he said.

    " Bastards of ckwind mountain, you dare to covert our young miss?!" One of the guards roared. " Haha, do you think we fear your Lan family? Your Lan family is doomed to face destruction. If your n''s old man couldn''t make it, then you guys are done for." The banditughed as he shed out his sword. The remaining guards began to fight fiercely even they knew they wouldn''tst much longer.

    " Miss, Please take the young master and run. We will stall them as much as we can." One guard struggled as he spoke to thedy beside him. The girl''s face had turned pale as she hastily nodded. She grabbed the kid to her as she ran to the opposite side.

    " But elder sister..." The boy seemed unwilling, but he got dragged along by his sister. The girl was very fast as she ran desperately. " Guards of the Lan family, Fight to the death." A guard of Lan''s family shouted as they charged at the bandits.

    " Haha, foolish peoples. Brothers! Kill them all!!!" The bandits roared as they fought with the guards of the Lan family. Weapon shed as both sides fought, but the bandit had the numbers, so they overwhelmed the guards very soon. However, the guards also tried their best to stall some time for their young miss.

    " Wuuu, Sister, Are we going to die?" The little boy asked as he ran along with her sister. " Xiao Hai, Uncle Jang has sent the distress signal. Don''t worry. Our family elders must be on the way. They will save us." The girl tried to smile, but the tears in her eye exined the situation.

    Help? They are deep in the forest. Although their guards had already sent a distress signal, Who knows when the elders would arrive? And even if they arrive, fending off these bandits in this deep forest isn''t easy.

    " At worse, I will hide Xiao Hai and try to lure the bandits away. After ensuring the safety of Xiao Hai, I will justmit suicide." The girl gritted his teeth.

    " Tsk tsk, A beautiful girl desperately trying to save her little brother from evil bandits. It such a sad scene." A voice startled the brother-sister duo as they suddenly stopped. Especially the girl, As she felt that someone said it just right to her ears.

    " WHO?!!!" the girl became alerted as she pulled out a short sword from her waist. the little boy was also scared by the sudden voice.

    " Little Miss, Would you like to make a deal with me?" The voice came again, and this time, it came from her behind. The girl turned around and saw a young man was standing. The girl''s eyes widened in surprise, as there was no one a moment before.

    The girl pointed her sword at the young man and asked vigntly, " Who are you? Why are you obstructing us?"

    " Well, Well, do you really want to waste your time in chit chat? The bandits will reach here in few minutes." The young man smiled. Listening to that, the girl''s face turned pale.

    " Then why the hell are you obstructing us?" The girl asked angrily. She also looked back to see if bandits areing.

    " Hmm, Do you really think you can escape from them? Oh wait, don''t tell me you are thinking ofmitting suicide to prevent them from tarnishing your purity?" The young man said with some thoughtful expression. The girl was shocked again as the young man spoke her intentions. She took a deep breath and asked, " What do you want from us?"

    " Haha, Just one question. Do you guys want to live?" The young man asked with a smile.

    " Yes. Can you help us?" The girl nodded. Somehow, she felt that this young man can help her. The smile of the young man became wider. " Are you willing to pay a small price for it?" The young man asked again. The girl frowned after hearing such a condition. " What is it?" She asked with some hesitation.

    " Wonderful! Even in this situation, you still wanted to know the bargain, eh?" The young manughed. " Hehe, nothing much, Just one kiss for saving both of you life."

 Chapter 118: The powerful Young master

    Chapter 118: The powerful Young master

    The mysterious young man was no other than Yang Shi. Yang Shi didn''t know why he made such an absurd request. But the girl in front of him was really beautiful. Yang Shi thought, " Have I be a leecher? Why am I thinking about this girl?" Unfortunately, Yang Shi didn''t know that his consciousness is slowly getting affected by the Crimson Lily.

    " Well, Suppressing the desires isn''t meant for a true cultivator." Yang Shi consoled himself. Since fate connected them, he will definitely help her. Another reason Yang Shi is arrogant is, the bandits are just Spiritual Ascension realm cultivators. The bandit leader is just a half step Primordial Spirit realm cultivator. Yang Shi can crush them with a wave of his hands.

    " How dare you! Disrespecting my elder sister?" the little boy raged as he clenched his first. " Hehe, brat, I am a very generous person. Miss, The choice is upon you. Would you like to satisfy me, or a dozen of bandits?" Yang Shi cackled. Thedy thought and sighed, " If you can do what you have said, you will get a kiss." Yang Shi didn''t notice the crafty light in the girl''s eyes.

    " That''s it. I like your bravery. You won''t regret making this deal." Yang Shi smiled. " Ah, here they are." YangShi looked in a direction. The sibling couldn''t see anything. But in a minute, with sounds of galloping horses, bandit reached there.

    " Hahaha, so here is the little missy of Lan n. Eh? Who are you, brat? Don''t meddle in our business." The bandit sneered as he pointed his sword at Yang Shi.

    " Fellow brother, Why resort to violence when money can solve everything?" Yang Shi smiled as he cupped his fist. The girl and his brother''s face turned weird. " Hmph, I knew it. He has no power. Trying to deal bandits with money?" The little boy spat angrily. The girl also frowned as she also thought.

    " Hahaha, It seems you are a fat cat. Leave your belongings ande with us. Maybe your parents can give us good ransome." The bandit''s eye gleamed with greed.

    " I want to make amends with you, but why you guys are courting death?" Yang Shi sighed. " What? Hahahaha, hrious. I guess you have be mad after being scared." The bandit leaderughed.

    " Fools not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth." Yang Shiughed coldly. The bandit''s expression turned cold. " Brat, it seems you need some discipline." The bandits coldly said. " Bai Chong, beat him." The leader ordered. A bulky man with scarred face came forward.

    " Let this uncle teach you some manners." The bulky manughed as he came running at Yang Shi. Yang Shi looked at the bulky man with pitiful eyes as he raised his hand. As the bulky man reached near, Yang Shi swung his arm in a graceful manner as he pped the bulky man.

    " PAA" With the sound of pping, there was another sound of something snapping. Like someone''s bone cracked. The bandit leader that Bai Chong was looking at him in a weird manner. " What hap-" The leader questioned but suddenly, he got cold chills in his spine as he gasped in horror. Bai Chong was looking at him, but only his head! His body down from his neck is still facing forward. Bai Chong''s neck was twisted, his eyes became lifeless as he fell down.

    The little boy and his sister also looked at Yang Shi with frightened eyes. Never in life, they saw such a diabolic method of killing. Yang Shi looked at the bandits casually, as if he only killed a fly. " I gave you the chance to go to heaven, yet you barged into the gates of hell." Yang Shi shook his head in disappointment. " So, Are youing one by one oring all together?" Yang Shi raised his eyebrows.

    " Brat! Don''t get cocky. Brothers! Kill him!" The bandit leader felt something is wrong with the young man, so hemanded everyone to attack him at once. The dozens of bandits charged at Yang Shi, swinging their weapons angrily. Yang Shi grabbed the hilt of his longsword. " Fleeting Light."

    Nobody saw the sword of Yang Shi. they only heard a nking noise of a sword being drawn and a sh of silver light. When the silver light disappeared, Yang Shi''s sword was already back in its sheath.

    The girl and her brother blinked in amazement, but what happened next was sacred them to witless. Blood spurted out like fountains as all the bandits tumbled down, or say, their body parts fell down.

    During thest weeks of his training in Eastern Mountain, Yang Shi practiced "Fleeting Light." specially. He found some insights about the art of sword drawing. He felt Fleeting Light can be a hidden attack if he improv it. Of course, it has lots of room for improvement, but Fleeting Light is more than enough to kill a dozen of Spirit Ascension bandits.

    When the siblings saw the carnage, they couldn''t help but feel their stomach churning. " Ughh...BARF!" The little boy coughed as he vomited on the ground. The girl also felt nauseous by seeing blood and organs everywhere.

    " Yo-You are not a human. You are a demon, Argghh." The bandit leader''s face turned ghastly pale as he scared out his mind. He turned around to escape but didn''t notice a dagger stabbed into his heart. The matter happened in a split second. The bandit died with a frightened face, without knowing how he died.

    " And here goes thest one. Now, Miss, time to honor your promise." Yang Shi turned around as he smiled at the girl. " Wh-Who are you?! Don''t touch my sister." The boy looked at Yang Shi with anger as he showed him his fist. Yang Shi was standing a dozen of meters away from them, but suddenly his figure blurred as he appeared in front of the brother-sister duo. The little boy was scared as Yang Shi grabbed his cors and raised him.

    " Little brat, you shouldn''t meddle when seniors are talking." Yang Shi cackled as he gave spank to his butt. " AHHH." The boy cried painfully as he red at Yang Shi with teary eyes. " Ah, Young master, my brother is naive, please, forgive his impudence." the girl spoke hurriedly. " Ahh, It feels so refreshing to get called Young master." Yang Shi hummed. The girl''s face turned a little strange as she heard Yang Shi''s murmur. " Is this guy a pervert?'' She suddenly thought.

    " I wonder what is the name of miss?" Yang Shi suddenly said. " Lan Yue." The girl replied with a meek tone. " Haha, Indeed. Finding a beauty like you is like seeing the Blue Moon." Yang Shiughed [ Lan means Blue and Yue means Moon.]

    Hearing Yang Shi, Lan Yue''s face became a little bashful. In Yang Shi''s eyes, Lan Yue was indeed beautiful. Unlike Ruxue, Lan Yue was giving off a mature aura. Yang Shi''s eyes were more focused on the twin peaks of Lan Yue, which was considerably bigger. " Pity that such a beauty is living in such a ce. If she appeared in Firmament City, many young masters from powerful families would have pursued her." Yang Shi thought.

    " So, about the kiss..." Lan Yue said as a tinge of redness appeared on her cheek. " Xiao Hai, go and kiss the young master." Lan Yue said.

    '' Huh?" Yang Shi was taken aback.

 Chapter 119: Unexpected Surprise

    Chapter 119: Unexpected Surprise

    " Did I misheard?" Yang Shi''s mind became befuddled. " No, Young master. I am clearly honing my promise." Lan Yue chuckled. " You said that if you save us from the bandits, you will get a kiss. But I never said that I would kiss you." Lan Yue said.

    Yang Shi stared at Lan Yue with a dumbstruck expression. His eyebrows raised as he snorted, " Is miss ying with words?"

    Lan Yue''s body quivered as she listened to Yang Shi. In her eyes, this young man was akin to a demon. But Lan Yue didn''t felt any harmful intention from him. After all, giving his strength, as long as the young man wishes, he could do anything to Lan Yue. But then, He still asked for her consent. Only because of this, Lan Yue was willing to take the gamble.

    " I..." Lan Yue wanted to say something, but she stopped. " No, I shouldn''t have made such a mistake." Lan Yue thought bitterly. " Tsk tsk, Even in such a situation, You are still using your intelligence to avoid being tarnished." Yang Shi rubbed his chin as he smiled. " Fine, It''s my fault for not stating the conditions clearly." Yang Shi said with a thoughtful tone.

    " Ah, Young master, I was just joking earlier. If you want to, I..." Lan Yue became a bit hesitant. " Well, forcing beauties isn''t my nature. And it seems your nsmen are here." Yang Shi muttered. Both Lan Yue and Xiao Hai looked back, but they didn''t saw anything. But when they turned around, Yang Shi''s figure already vanished.

    After some time, with the sound of carriages and footsteps, a dozen of people reached there. " Miss Lan, Young master Hai, are you alright?" An old man with white hair asked them.

    " Fourth Elder, I am fine. But captain Jing and hispany..." Th tone of Lan Yue became heavy. The Fourth elder sighed deeply, " Who would have thought that bandits would dare toe in the vicinity of Eastern Valley Town?"

    " Aiiz, It seems sister Yue shouldn''t have gone for the search of Fire Spirit Grass." An arrogant voice suddenly came back from the group. Hearing him, Lan Yue''s frowned. "The second cousin, Do you not want to save my father?" Lan Yue asked coldly.

    " Haha, It looked like sister Yue misunderstood me. How can I not want to save uncle Mu, but Fire Spirit Grass is too difficult to find." The young man hastily said. " But if you do that..." He was saying but the Fourth elder interrupted, " Enough! It''s upon the Elders to decide this. You don''t need to meddle in that affair."

    " Hmph." The young man snorted as he left. Lan Yue didn''t say anything, but her eyes were resentful. " Bah, No matter what, I won''t let Elder sister marry that fatty." Xiao Hai snorted. Lan Yue smiled as he patted the head of Xiao Hai, but sighed inwardly. " What would have happened if I told my problem to that mysterious Young master?"

    Yang Shi wasn''t idle to lurk in the woods. After helping Lan Yue, He already left. " Since bandits and people are here, there should be a small town nearby." Yang Shi thought. He used his Celestial View and scanned around. Not long after, he really saw a town. But after looking at it, Yang Shi''s mouth became agape.

    " No way..." Yang Shi murmured, but he became overjoyed. His Celestial view had already reached the Initialpletion stage so he could see the elemental aura of various elements. Currently, Yang Shi saw a radiant spike of golden light inside the small town. It indicates that arge amount of Metal attribute Qi was contained there. If this was any normal metal Qi, Yang Shi wouldn''t have cared. But since such a phenomenon is happening. This means that there must be a Metal spirit vein.

    " Haha, Heavens finally listened to my prayers. It''s a spirit vein and a metal spirit vein on top of that." The golden egg thumped in excitement.

    " Hmm, Indeed. It seems our luck isn''t that bad. Let''s go there." Yang Shi nodded as his figure became fuzzy as he dashed off to the small town.

    .........................

    " So, Uncle, The situation of Lan family isn''t good, eh?" A young man sipped tea as he asked a middle-aged man in front of him. The middle aged man was brewing another pot of tea as he said, " Yes. Unless they find the rare Fire Spirit Grass, the Lan family won''t have a good ending. After all, How can the Li family lose such opportunity?" The middle aged man sighed.

    " Hmm, I see. But getting in the Golden Sun sect as an Outer disciple, is it really that good? I mean, can it really boost the power of a small family to that extent?" The young man asked with some doubt. " Young brother, You don''t know, this little town can''t bepared with those big cities out there. These small families are different from therge ns. Just a dozen outer disciples of the sect can easily finish these small time families." The middle aged man exined.

    " Oh, that''s the case. I wonder if uncle ever went to those big cities, like Firmament City or Misty Tower city?" The young man asked. " Well, I was a traveler in my younger days. I went to Firmament City. It was indeed veryrge, A hundred times bigger than Eastern Valley Town. And the cultivators there are also extremely powerful. Any low level cultivator from there can exterminate this town." The middle-aged man sucked air of cold breath.

    " Uncle, whose house is that? Behind the alley? The young man again asked with some interest. " That? Oh, That''s the house of the cksmith Wu. Hee is really a talented cksmith of the town. He can forge good weapons. Unfortunately, He is quite old now." The middle aged man replied.

    " Thank you for your information." The Young manughed as he left. Before he left, The middle aged man heard some sounds of coins nking. He was too focused on making tea, so he didn''t notice at first. But his eyes went wide as he saw dozens of gold coins on the table. It was enough for living for a few months. Before h could thank the young man, the young man was already left.

    .........................

    " Are you the cksmith Wu?" A young voice asked. An old man with a white beard opened his eyes as he looked at the young man. " Yes, What do you need from me?" The cksmith Wu asked.

    " Well, Can you leave this ce for few days?" The young man asked. " What? What are you saying?" The old man asked in confusion. But he felt his vision blurred as his consciousness faded. He fell to the ground, snoring loudly.

    " Now sleep for a few days." The Young man muttered as he carried the body of the cksmith Wu and threw it in a corner.

    " Shall we began our ceremony?"

 Chapter 120: Awakening of the Golden Roc

    Chapter 120: Awakening of the Golden Roc

    Yang Shi took out the beast cores one by one andid them in a strange pattern. Then h took out his saber and plunged it into the ground. After digging the soil a fifty meters, a burst of Qi gushed out from it.

    Yang Shi felt his head buzz as a golden light shed at the middle of his eyebrows. With a sh, the golden egg appeared outside as it stood at the center of the beast cores.

    " How much time it gonna take?" Yang Shi asked. " I don''t know. A day or a few days. Probably less than a week." The golden egg said. " That much time? Better finish in three days." Yang Shi frowned. It was almost a month in Deep Sky Forest, And Yang Shi had to go to the capital for the auction of the Hundred Gold Pavilion.

    Suddenly, The golden egg lit up as chains of runes shed on it. As the runs began to revolve, the beast ores began to thrum. ck gas poured out from the beast cores as it gathered on the golden egg. The ck gas became thicker and thicker as it morphed into a seal. It was a dazzling ck seal, made from numerable small runes. It buzzed as it became distinct.

    " HONGGGG" With a rumbling noise, The ck seal burst as it got absorbed by the gold egg. The runic chains broke as a golden light erupted from the egg. Yang Shi felt his body itch as a faint golden qi flow from the crater as it went to the golden egg.

    It''s the Metal qi, which is pretty sharp. Other than Lightning qi, Metal qi is the second hardest qi to absorb. But of course, for a metal attribute cultivator, it''s nothing but heavenly nourishment.

    The golden egg radiated bright light as it continued to absorb metal qi. A few hours passed, and it became night. Yang Shi was dozing off as he suddenly heard a loud boom as his eyes snapped open.

    The golden egg began to tremble as the golden light intensified. Yang Shi activated his Celestial view to protecting his eyes. But unexpectedly, the egg didn''t crack. However, a white light shot out from it as a loud cry of a roc resounded. Yang Shi saw a gigantic golden roc appeared as it pped its golden wings and soared to the sky. Yang Shi''s heart was filling with awe as he saw the roc transcending the heavens.

    " Haha, One leap to ascend the heaven, One step to trample the earth." Yang Shi muttered. The light and the roc suddenly disappeared, as it never appeared in the first ce.

    " Quite arrogant wordsing from you." A voice startled Yang Shi. As he looked around, he felt someone is dragging his pants. Yang Shi''s eyes widened as he saw the creature below him. It was a little girl wearing a dazzling gold dress. She had an oval face with a pair of unusual eyes, with bright golden pupils. With an innocent childish face, she also had a pair of small wings on her back.

    " Eh? A Loli?" Yang Shi rubbed his eyes. He held the girl by her arms and raised her up. " Little girl, Who are you? Did you forget your way to home? Let this uncle help you." Yang Shiughed, but suddenly his expression changed as a sharp pain assaulted her mind. Yang Shi saw the little girl bit his arm as she started sucking his blood and Internal Energy.

    " Fuck! You weren''t supposed to do that! Release me, NOW1." Yang Shi hurriedly shouted as he waved his arms like crazy as the blood drained from his body.

    " Hmph." The girl snorted after she released Yang Shi''s arm. After she licked the blood from her lips, she let out a satisfied sound. " Mmm, Your blood is truly delicious."

    " Do you really have to do this?" Yang Shi raged. " I had to. I spent all of my blood and Qi to destroy the Sky Eroding Evil Immortal Curse. Even in the end, the curse destroyed one-third of my cultivation. " The girl sighed.

    " So...What is your cultivation stage now?" Yang Shi asked in a nervous tone. " Second stage of Ancient Beast realm." The girl sighed. Yang Shi relived as he calmed down. " Why do I see an expression of happiness on you? Hmph, If not for the curse, I might be in the Origin Core Stage." The girl snorted.

    " Well, Nothing can be done now. But since you made such a bigmotion, How can you stop people froming here?" Yang Shi asked hurriedly. " Oh, those peoples? They didn''t even reach Primordial Spirit Realm. I will just cast an illusion here." The little girl waved her hands as the space ripples around her.

    Yang Shi felt very happy to have an Ancient Beast having hispanion. Now, He doesn''t have to fear those elders from therge sects.

    ..........................................

    " Heavens! Did you see that? A golden roc soaring to the sky! What a phenomenon!!" A person gasped. A lot of people saw the projection of the golden roc.

    " Could it be a legendary treasure ising out?" Another on spected. They rushed in the direction, but unfortunately, there was nothing.

    " Eh? Isn''t this cksmith Wu''s house? But everything is normal. Ah, It must be that direction." Someone said. There was nothing wrong with the house, so they went forward. But no one noticed the house was actually broken, with a giant hole in its roof.

    " Hahaha, Controlling Soul energy to create an illusion, Violet Pce Expansion realm is indeed awesome." Yang Shi sighed. " But it''s not like someone can''t use soul energy before Violet Pce Expansion Realm. If I canplete the Wisdom Awakening Stage, I can also utilize should strength." Yang Shi snorted.

    " Well, Although I have sucked most of the Metal Qi of the vein, there is still arge amount of Metal qi. And there is something extra there." The little girl spoke with a happy tone. With a wave of her hand, the girl pulled out arge stone from the crater. After removing the stone, The Metal Qi became more abundant.

    " Huh? zed Spirit tinum? Holy Shit! No wonder other couldn''t detect the Metal spirit vein. This thing absorbed all the Metal Qi." Yang Shi eximed as he hurriedly snatched it from the girl''s hand.

    Although it was the same as the size of a football, It weighed more than 200kg. But just Yang Shi was appraising it, with a hum, The Heaven Cmity Ancient Saber on his back flew out and stabbed into the stone.

    " What? NO! Damn you!" Yang Shi was taken aback by the sudden development of things as he raged. But the saber didn''t listen to him as it began to absorb the zed Spirit tinum. Although it looked slow, soon, the size of the rock began to shrink.

    " Well, Just leave some considerable amount." Yang Shi could only helplessly say this as he sat down. "So, What to do with the Metal Qi?" Yang Shi though.

    " Hehe, There is a suitable body refining method for you." A voice cackled.

 Chapter 121: Refining Body and Enhancing Strength

    Chapter 121: Refining Body and Enhancing Strength

    " Heh, I thought your divine sense got poof after staying silent so long time." Yang Shi chuckled. He was talking with the Samsara Emperor.

    " Even after a thousand years, My divine sense won''t extinguish unless something unexpected happens." Samsara Emperorughed.

    " Anyway, So what body refining method you are saying? Are you talking about the Invincible Golden Body method?" Yang Shi frowned. " It''s indeed a good body refining method, but the pain while cultivating..." Yang Shi murmured.

    " Currently, This body method is indeed beneficial for you. However, since you have your Internal Energy in your body, You should practice another method." Samsara Emperor said.

    " Hmph, It seems you know what kind of energy is Internal Energy. Then tell me, what''s the use of it?" Yang Shi asked hurriedly. " Haha, let''s keep it suspense, shall we? It''s not that I don''t want to say, but it''s better if you know yourself." Samsara Emperorughed. " Can''t you give me some hints?" Yang Shi asked helplessly. " Fine, It will help you in supplementary paths of cultivation." Samsara Emperor said.

    " Hmm..." Yang Shi thought for a long time but couldn''t understand it. " Don''t worry. You will get it eventually." Samsara Emperor said. " So, Where I was? Yes, I think you should cultivate the Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body technique." Samsara Emperor said with a deep breath.

    " Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body technique? But to cultivate that, One needs to have Five Element Natural Physique." Yang Shi frowned as he asked.

    " Yes, It''s true. But, Since you have Internal Energy, It will cover your shorings. Furthermore, With just a bit of alteration, It can surpass the true strength of the Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body technique." Samsara Emperorughed.

    " Really?" Yang Shi was shocked. Since h has the fragmented memory of Samsara Emperor, He naturally knew what kind of technique is Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body technique. In this kingdom, The highest rank of techniques is the Heaven rank. But Yang Shi knew that Heaven Rank is nothing more than a starting point.

    After Heaven rank, There is Royal Rank, Imperial Rank, Saint Rank, and Immortal Rank. Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body technique is a powerful Immortal Rank body refining method. If it cultivated to the peak, then it can crush the sun and moon in one punch.

    But to cultivate this technique, One needs a Five Element Natural Body, along with abundant Elemental Qi from Five elements. And even with all the resources, one needs to fight with others in order to temper his body.

    " En, Toy the foundation of Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body technique, You need to carve the seal of five elements in your Dantian. The five seals are - me Demon Seal, Water Celestial Seal, Earth Monarch Seal, Wood Spirit Seal, and Gold Devil Seal."

    " Each seal must be carved out from pure Elemental Qi. Since there is so much Metal Qi here, You should carve the Gold Devil Seal first. With the making of each seal, You will get an innate control over the specific element."

    " Metal element has both powerful offense and defense, but cultivating with Metal Qi is hard. But after you made the Gold Devil Seal, sensing and controlling Metal Qi would be easy. And controlling Metal Qi means bing a better cksmith. Metal Qi will also make your body strong and unaffected by the swords and spears." Samsara Emperor exined.

    Yang Shi nodded as he understood Samsara Emperor. " Remember, each seal has nineyers to fill. Only afterpleting the nineyers, you will achieve a perfect seal. Getting Five perfect seals considered a minorpletion." Samsara Emperor said again.

    " Fine, since you insist, I will cultivate the Gold Devil Seal." Yang Shi nodded, as he sat down in the crater and began to chant the incantation of Gold Devil Seal. To increase his absorption rate, Yang Shi activated the crimson ring of crimson lily.

    *BOOM* The Metal Qi from the spirit vein rolled as it poured into the dantian of Yang Shi. Yang Shi felt a stinging pain in his meridians as the Metal Qi was pretty sharp. Yang Shi endured the pain as he continued to chant the incantation.

    " CONDENSE!." Yang Shi roared as he pped his palms as the Metal Qi inside his dantian exploded as it condensed into a small golden bead. " Ok, Embryonic seal has formed, time to fully condense the Gold Devil Seal." Yang Shi muttered as he revolved the golden bead as he poured more Qi in it.

    Yang Shi didn''t know how much time has passed. He continued to revolve the golden bead as he tried to form the Gold Devil Seal. After an unknown amount of time, The golden bead finally grew and took shape of a seal. It was a weird seal, with many unknown runes. And on the seal, There are nine ck circles.

    After Yang Shi managed to fill one circle, the Metal Qi became thinner. After the Second circle was filled in half, the Metal Qi was stoppeding in. " Eh?" Yang Shi became surprised as he opened his eyes. It was already noon.

    " How much time has passed?" yang Shi asked the little girl. " Two days." The girl said. " What?! Two days? I thought I just meditated for few hours. Huh? Howe the Spirit vein became empty?" Yang Shi questioned.

    " Do you even have some shame? You are the one who emptied this Spirit Vein." The little girl snickered. " What?" Yang Shi blurted out. Although this spirit vein is the lowest quality of spirit vein, it still has an astronomical amount of Qi. This spirit vein was enough to pique the interest of the Sects. Yet it couldn''t even fill twoyers of Gold Devil Seal.

    " Well, Immortal rank techniques are indeed difficult to cultivate. It''s practically burning the rare resources." Yang Shi smiled wryly, but he quickly calmed himself. It was already good enough to fully condense Gold Devil Seal and fill one and a half-circle. Yang Shi clenched his fist as a thin golden light spread on his body. Yang Shi punched the ground

    *BOOOM* The wind boomed as the ground cracked apart. With his strength, normal cultivators under the Sixth stage of Primordial Spirit Realm would have a serious injury, unless they wore a Spirit grade armor or protective talisman.

    Yang Shi pulled out his Heaven Cmity from the ore of zed Spirit tinum as he sighed. From the original amount, Only one-fifth of metal remained. But the Heaven Cmity went through an astonishing transformation. The saber became one footrger, and its rust disappeared. Although it looked brand new, It was giving off the aura of an ancient dominator.

    Its hilt was bright silver color, with a blood-red gem in the middle of it. The de of the saber was reflective and its edge has a pale crimson shade. On the de, there was a vague drawing, of a tiger pouncing at a dragon. Although it was merely a drawing, Yang Shi could feel the blood boiling fighting spirit from it.

    Yang Shu pulled out the saber as he shouted, " Gold Split" He also infused the Metal Qi from Gold Devil Seal to increase the strength and sharpness of the saber.

    *WENGGGG* The saber hummed as Yang Shi made a dozen of shes. The house burst open as the trees within a dozen meters got shed into small wooden chips.

    " Hahahaha, The true essence of Gold Split is merging Metal with Saber. Using sharpness of gold to sh." Yang Shiughed. Yang Shi picked the remaining zed Spirit tinum and put it into his Spatial Ring.

    " So where you will live you from now?" Yang Shi asked the little girl. The little girl smiled as she pointed toward the golden egg. It was the same as before, not a crack on it. The little girl suddenly vanished as a light entered the golden egg. Then the golden egg came back to Yang Shi''s Dantian. The young girl came out again. Yang Shi ould only scratch his head.

    " What should I call you?" Yang Shi asked. " Hmm, Call me, Jin Yu." The little girl smiled. " Jin Yu, Such an extravagant name." Yang Shi muttered. " Aiya, I am so hungry. Let''s eat something first." Jin Yu said as she ran toward the market.

 Chapter 122: Begone Thot!

    Chapter 122: Begone Thot!

    " Mmm, This Chicken soup is so delicious." Jin Yu licked her lips as she let out a satisfied expression. " Hey hey, It''s the third bowl of chicken soup." Yang Shiughed.

    " Haha, Young man, Your cousin has a huge appetite. Finishing three bowls of our shops special chicken soup in such a short time is remarkable." The shopkeeperughed.

    " Hmph, It''s been two hundred years since I ate anything other than spiritual qi. But humans food is indeed very satisfying." Jin Yu muttered. Yang Shi almost spat the food as he hastily closed Jin Yu''s mouth.

    " Eh, Did you said anything?" The shopkeeper said. "Ahaha, Nothing, Boss. I just want to order two tes of Nature''s Delight dish and a bottle of Hot Spring wine." Yang Shi changed the topic. " Haha, As you wish." The shopkeeper nodded as he went back. Soon their dishes came on the table.

    " Can''t you control your mouth? Anybody would think of you as an old hungry ghost." Yang Shi snorted. " Hehe, But I was too hungry. Hey, Give me the wine!" Jin Yu shouted.

    " Hmph, Little kid should not drink such things. Go, Drink your fruit juice." Yang Shi gave a light smack on Jin Yu''s head as heughed. " Muuu." Jin Yu pouted, but she didn''t make any fuss. " After lunch, You must buy me some clothes." She suddenly said.

    " Are you really an Ancient Beast? Why are you behaving like a little girl?" Yang Shi asked softly. " Hmph, What do you know? Clothes and essories are must need things for a girl." Jin Yu snorted.

    Yang Shi smiled but didn''t say anything. After all, money is nothing to him. But when he went shopping with Jin Yu, he became speechless as Jin Yu bought more than a dozen dresses. " Waaa, This blur color looks so good. Just wait, I will try it out." Jin Yu happily said as she went back to the golden egg. Yang Shi became curious as he didn''t know what is it inside the egg. But since a living being can go inside it, it must a powerful Space type treasure, As normal Spatial rings can''t contain living creatures.

    Unfortunately, He can''t peek inside it. " Mmm, I should ask Jin Yu about its usage. If it''s a spatial treasure with a separate world, I can use it for many things." Yang Shi thought. After some minutes, Jin Yu came outside, wearing an ocean blue colored dress. In that dress, she looked lovely, like a little noble girl.

    " How am I looking?" Jin Yu asked. " En, You are looking pretty." Yang Shi said earnestly. " Tsk, You are such a smooth talker. No wonder that Bai Ruxue fell for you." Jin Yu giggled. As expected, she was happy with thepliment. Yang Shi was baffled. Women are really different kinds of creatures.

    As they were strolling on the road, they saw a vendor selling some ornaments. " Eh? Thing ring looks good." Jin Yu suddenly said. " Haha, Littledy''s eyes are pretty good." The shopkeeper nodded in appreciation. Yang Shiughed inwardly. If the eyes of an Imperial Golden Roc of Ancient Beast realm are bad, then the rest of the world is good as blind.

    " This ring was made from an ancient jade, and many rare gems are embedded on it. Its price is more than a hundred gold coins, but I am in a good mood, so I will sell it for 30 gold coins." The shopkeeper said. " Ok, Give it to me." Yang Shi gave 30 coins to the shopkeeper.

    " Here, Take 50 gold coins and give that to me." A girl came out from nowhere as she said. Yang Shi was going to take the ring as he stopped by the unknown girl.

    " Ah, It''s Miss Li Mei. But I have already-" As the shopkeeper became hesitant as he was interrupted by Li Mei. " Then you! Give that to me, and take these 50 gold coins." Li Mei threw gold coins at Yang Shi. Yang Shi frowned as he said, " Miss, This ring is not for sell." Jin Yu became amused by the development of the scene. In this town, there are roughly a dozen of Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators. The highest of them is only at the fourth stage.

    Even if Yang Shi fights barehanded, he could defeat all of them in one go. " Hmph, You dare to reject me? Li Mei? Brat, It seems you need some lesson." Li Mei became enraged. Who dares to disobey her in Eastern Valley Town?

    Li Mei pulled out her small whip as sheshed out at Yang Shi. Yang Shi''s expression turned cold. Since he had hidden his aura, he looked nothing more than a mortal.Yang Shi grabbed the whip.

    " Let it go." Li Mei''s expression turned dark. She was also surprised as to how a mortal can catch her whip. Li Mei''s whip was made from the tendons of a Fierce beast. It was a powerful Mortal grade weapon. But what a mere mortal weapon can do to Yang Shi. " Brat, Just wait and see if you can leave alive. Yang Shi finally lost all of his cool.

    " Oh, So you want it back?" YangShi sneered. With just a bit of his physical power, he flung back the whip. Li Mei started as it hit back on her face.

    " AHHHHHH." Li Mei screamed as she fell down. There was a deep red mark on her left side of the cheek. The impact was so powerful that she began to bleed. What is the most important thing for women? Naturally, It''s their face. Li Mei was one of the beauties of Eastern Valley Town, so having a scar on her face ruined her beauty.

    " Stupid Bitch." Yang Shi spat as he left along with Jin Yu. " BASTARD! My LI CLAN WILL CUT YOU INTO THOUSAND PIECES." Li Mei screamed as she looked at Yang Shi with bloodthirsty eyes.

    " Heh, And I thought you are a ruthless killer. It seems killing a beauty is difficult for you." Jin Yu snickered as she was ying with the jade ring.

    " Aiiz, How a mere sparrow can understand the aspiration of the swan." Yang Shi sighed as he patted on the head of Jin Yu.

    " You dare to call me a sparrow?" Jin Yu''s face darkened as she coldly asked. " Tsk, don''t be angry. It''s just a proverb." Yang Shiughed. It''s was really a big offense to call the golden roc a sparrow. " One more time you dare to call me a sparrow, I will cut off your tongue." Jin Yu said. " Little Yu, don''t be angry." Yang Shi smiled. " Pah, Who is Little Yu?" Jin Yu''s face became red.

    " It''s not that I didn''t kill that thot because of pity. I left her because she was the bait. The bait to lure out some small fries." Yang Shiughed as he looked behind. Although nobody was there, Jin Yu understood immediately. " Tch, Someone is pursuing us." Jin Yu''s lips curved. " By the way, what''s a Thot?" Jin Yu suddenly asked.

 Chapter 123: Teaching a lesson

    Chapter 123: Teaching a lesson

    Yang Shi and Jin Yu traveled among the narrow alleys as they reached a quiet ce. The way Yang Shi walked, he could be misunderstood as a local. However, Just using his Celestial View, Yang Shi could see the entire Eastern Mountain Town in detail.

    " Heng, Even they are the locals, They taking too much time." Yang Shi sneered. After a while, a group of people finally found them. Li Mei was also in that group. It seemed like someone put some ointment on her wound. It was almost healed.

    " Hey, You! Stop there." A man shouted as they rushed at Yang Shi. " So, You are the one who wounded sister Li." The man coldly said. " Who are you?" Yang Shi asked calmly.

    " Hmph, I am the second son of Li n''s patriarch, Li Han." The man proudly said. " Brat, Tell m, How you want to die?"

    " Brother Han, don''t kill them yet." Li Mei suddenly said. She looked at Jin Yu''s fingers, where she wore the jade ring. " I want to cut this girl''s finger into pieces and shred her skin before this brat." She venomously said. Although her wound was healed, the scar was right there. Unless she could get some pills from an alchemist, her mark won''t go.

    Yang Shi''s face darkened as he heard Li Mei. One had to know that currently Jin Yu and Yang Shi have sealed their aura. Jin Yu looked the same as a normal eight year old girl. To think something such horrible for an eight year old girl was very hical.

    " Sister Mei, Please calm down." Li Han also thought it was simply too evil. " Brother Han, I will be apanying you tonight." Li Mei added. " This..." No matter what, It''s just two ordinary guys. Li Mei was a beauty he was coveting.

    " It seems, today is your bad luck." Li Han cackled as he pulled out his dagger. " But Brother Han..." There were three other members in his group. All of them are at the Spirit Ascension stage. " All of you, shut up." Li Han snorted. The onlookers instantly became silent, as they were only some normal members of the Li Family.

    Jin Yu sneered in contempt. However, She doesn''t need to do anything. Yang Shi was already angered. " And I thought to give you guys a swift death." Yang Shiughed out of anger. " Hahaha, It seems he went mad from being frightened." Li Han said with disdain. He waved his dagger as he aimed at Jin Yu.

    Unexpectedly, There was no sign of fear on Jin Yu''s face. She looked calm like she was watching some show. Li Mei felt some uneasiness, but she quickly dispersed it.

    *PAK* The dagger stopped at three inches from Jin Yu''s face. Li Han became startled as a hand gripped his wrist. No matter how much strength he mustered, he couldn''t free his wrist. It was none other than Yang Shi. Li Han never thought that this mortal young man has this much strength. He was angered as he raised his other fist to attack Yang Shi.

    " DIE." Li Han roared, but the moment he raised his left fist, he felt a cracking sound. Li Mei and others'' mouth went wide as they shivered. Li Han looked at his right hand, which got twisted 180 degrees backward.

    *CRACK* With another sound, his right arm was twisted. " AHHHGHHHH." Li Han screamed as he fell to the ground. Yang Shi gave a furious stomp on Li Han''s chest. Yang Shi only used the tenth power of his physical body otherwise he might identally kill Li Han.

    *PUUU* Li Han spurted a mouthful of blood as he coughed loudly. Others were terrified to the point they were unable to move. Li Mei felt it was all a dream. No, a terrible nightmare. She has to wake up. Unfortunately, It was reality.

    *MO-MONSTER.* Someone screamed as they tried to escape. But magically, Yang Shi appeared behind them like a ghost. They were both surprised and scared. Li Mei was shivering so much that she felt she would pass out.

    " Don''t...Don''t kill us." One of them started to begging, but Yang Shi just punched his chest. The person fell, never to rise again. One punch for one person. Yang Shi casually swung his arms, delivering a fatal strike to their heads, neck, and heart. Everyone fell dead, except Li Mei.

    Li Mei felt escaping is impossible. She regretted chasing such a devil. She looked at bloodied Li Han and then looked at Jin Yu. But after looking at Jin Yu, Li Mei''s eyes gleamed with a strange light.

    " Yes, That girl must be his weakness. If I held her..." Li Mei''s mind raced as sheshed out her whip and jumped toward Jin Yu. Jin Yu only smiled as she remained unmoved. Li Mei became happy, but her expression suddenly froze. No, To said more urately, Her entire body was frozen mid-air. Li Mei could only bat her eyelids out of horror.

    " Fuck, It''s too impressive to freeze a person in mid-air." Yang Shi swore. Violet Pce Expansion Realm is just too awesome. Yang Shi thought when he would reach there? Jin Yu looked at Li Mei and snorted, " I don''t want to dirty my hands." Li Mei felt a pang of pain on her back as her vision ckened.

    Yang Shi pulled out the dagger from her back as he wiped out the blood. Then he looked at Li Han. " Yo...You can''t kill me. My Elder brother is the Outer disciple of Golden Sun Sect." Li Han stuttered. " So what?" Yang Shi asked. Outer disciple? He even killed Inner disciples of the Golden Sun Sect.

    " Well, Dying from my hands...Err...from my legs could be considered an honor." Yang Shiughed as he again stomped on the chest of Li Han. The soul of Li Han finally left his body. " Meh, Killing these small fries is no fun." Yang Shiined. Jin Yu''s gaze flickered as she looked at Yang Shi.

    " You nned all these things?" Jin Yu asked curiously. "Why do you think so?" Yang Shi blinked his eyes innocently. Jin Yu shook her head. " You humans are so treacherous." Jin Yu muttered.

    " Nah, It''s just foresight." Yang Shi corrected. " It''s amon urrence for n juniors tomit atrocities. I just taught them a lesson." Yang Shiughed. " But your n didn''t end here. Let me think. You are indirectly helping that girl, Lan Yue, aren''t you?" Jin Yu chided. Yang Shi''s smiled turned stiff.

    " Hmph, I knew it. All men are leechers." Jin Yu snorted. " Wait, wait, I am just a kind soul, Helping the peoples in despair." Yang Shi said. " Che, Only ghosts would believe you." Jin Yu said.

    " I want to say you an important thing." Jin Yu stared at Yang Shi. Yang Shi shuddered as he looked into the eyes of Jin Yu. Yang Shi felt he was standing naked in front of her.

    " Wh-What is it?" Yang Shi asked. " Something is changing inside you. I feel your consciousness and soul is affected by it." Jin Yu said seriously. Yang Shi pulled out a mirror from his spatial ring as he looked at himself. He became surprised as his purple eyes, the shad of crimson color increased by many times.

 Chapter 124: Balance

    Chapter 124: Bnce

    Yang Shi was pretty surprised by the change in his pupils. After awakening the Azur Lotus and Crimson Lily as primordial spirits, his eye changed into purple color. But it wasn''t pure purple. It was a chaotic mixture of Azure and Crimson in his eyes. And now, The crimson color has increased, making his eyes like Fire crystals. Yang Shi looked handsome, but there was a hint of wickedness and tyranny in his eyes.

    Yang Shi looked into his Dantian. He was astonished as h saw the Crimson lily has be two times bigger than Azure Lotus. The lily was giving off a red aura, which was more than before. At the same time, the lotus''s aura looked dim.

    " Eh? Could it b that Crimson lily grew and now suppressing the Azure lotus? Now I remember, It got the first level up by my Spirit fire. The lily devoured all the spirit fire, making it its own. It seems it got another boost by the Gold Devil Seal!" Yang Shi murmured. " Fire and Metal, Two Yang elements. If the Crimson lily gets power from the Yang element, then the Azure Lotus must need Yin Element Like Water and Wood." Yang Shi deduced.

    Yang Shi felt he needed to understand more, so he took Jin Yu and went to an inn. Yang Shi sat cross-legged as he mediated with his Tai Chi martial art.

    " In this world, Mortals can borrow the power of Heaven and Earth and raise cultivation. With enough power, They can break the limits and achieve mythical powers and endless longevity."

    " However, there wasn''t any spiritual Qi on Earth. Martial artists could never borrow the power of heaven and earth. They can only excavate the potential from their own body. Only by constantly refining their body with arduous training of decades, they can use Internal Energy." Yang Shi mulled.

    " But, Was anything there was inferior to here? Sure, They didn''t have flying swords nor sabers that can multiply while attacking. But their understanding of weapons was fart better. "

    Using one sword to create many sword shadows, Using a dagger to kill a dozen. Without any supplementary energy, They could control Yin, Yang, and five elements to a small degree. Tai Chi was amon yet marvelous martial art. Controlling Yin and Yang to nourish the body and spirit without spiritual qi is very amazing. Although there wasn''t a strong presence of Yin and Yang in Earth, Tai Chi can be used as a powerful cultivation method in the cultivation world.

    Yang Shi revolved his Internal Energy as he closed his eyes. He moved his arms and legs in a strange rhythm. He clenched his fist as he punched forward. Then he opened his palm and pulled back. He summoned the Yang energy from his Nine Saints Extreme Yang skeletons as a white koi fish appeared behind him.

    " Yang. Heat and Fire." Yang Shi muttered. Jin Yu''s eyes went wide as she saw Yang Shi is making a palm strike in thin air. " Shit." Jin Yu spat as she made a hand sign. Yang Shi didn''t use any fire technique, yet the air surrounding the palmbusted as mes appeared.

    *RUMBLE* As if a p of thunder, Yang Shi made five palm attacks at once. Jin Yu became more and more astonished. Yang Shi retracted his palm as he muttered again, " Yang, Hardness." He made a fist and raised his arm. Jin Yu hurriedly pped her palms as a golden light spread on the floor. It seemed like the white koi fish came into being as it circled around YangShi''s fist.

    *HAAAA* Yang Shi shouted as he punched the floor. His fistnded on the golden light, but no sound came. Jin Yu sighed in relief. If she hadn''t used her dense spiritual qi as a shield, The whole inn might have destroyed by that punch.

    Yang Shi''s facial expression rxed as he retracted his fist. He made another movement with his arms. " Yin, Cold, and Water." Yang Shi muttered. Along with the white koi fish, a ck koi fish began to appear. But before it could take the full shape, it became distorted as it vanished.

    Yang Shi''s eyes snapped open as he vomited a mouthful of blood. Jin Yu hurriedly came as she asked, " What happened? Are you alright?"

    " I am fine. Just suffered some internal injuries. But it''s small." Yang Shi chuckled. He used his Celestial view and looked at his body. He could see a bright white gas evaporating from his body. " Heh, My Yang energy has be so potent that it''s materializing in space. No wonder my Qi became rigid as I tried to control the Yin energy." Yang Shi smiled bitterly. " Ah, So my Yang physique is the reason I can''t open the Immemorial Evil Yin Vein." Yang Shi''s eyes sparkled.

    " Hmm, I will settle this after I went to the capital." Yang Shi thought. " Hey, Aren''t you hungry? Let''s eat something." yang Shiughed. " Hehe, If you hadn''t remembered me, I would have died from hunger." Jin Yui giggled.

    ........................................

    " Heavens! Are you telling the truth?" A person shouted.

    " I swear on my mom. It''s true. Li Han and Li Mei died tragically." A bearded man hurriedly said.

    " Old uncles, Did something happened?" Yang Shi asked curiously. " Li family''s patriarch has two sons. The elder son has got enrolled in Golden Sun Sectst month. His name was Li Kun. Li Han was his little brother. Li Mei was also the daughter of a Li n elder. Since both of them dead, Li Family will go crazy now." The beardy man sighed.

    " Oh, Then we should leave now." Yang Shiughed as he paid the bill and left the inn along with Jin Yu. After some time, dozens of guards entered the inn.

    The innkeeper and others became astounded as they recognized the guards from their uniform. " Esteemed Captain of Li family guards, What brings you here?" The innkeeper cupped his fist.

    " Have you saw a young man with a little girl?" The guard asked coldly. " This...They just went out." The innkeeper hurriedly said. He never thought that Yang Shi and Jin Yu are the suspects. The guard''s eyes gleamed as he and his soldiers rushed out.

    " Block the entrance and search the whole town. We must find out the culprit." The Li n captain roared.

    Yang Shi didn''t mind the changes happening in the city as he sat on a roof. He was still thinking about the Crimson Lily and Azure Lotus. After rummaging the memory of the Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi finally managed to get some clues.

    " Lily of Emotions and Desires is a heavenly treasure. But if not controlled, I will be a demon who knew nothing except Anger, Lust, and Greed. Only Heaven Purification Dao Lotus can suppress it. But on the other hands, constantly raising the Heaven Purification Dao Lotus has its own demerits." Yang Shi said.

    " Just like Tai Chi, Everything must be in bnce. Controlling Yin and Yang, controlling Lily and Lotus. I will try to get some water attribute treasures and techniques." Yang Shi concluded.

    " Since I have already stirred trouble, Why not meet the little Missy?" Yang Shi gave an evil chuckle as he leaped across. " Hehe, It seems someone is bathing." Yang Shi mused as he became interested.

 Chapter 125: Meeting Lan Yue again

    Chapter 125: Meeting Lan Yue again

    Yang Shi actually sneaked into arge mansion. The room was very exquisite. But it was giving off an air of feminine. Yang Shi saw a small basket of fruit as he began to eat them. Jin Yu has already returned to the golden egg, maybe she got tired and went to sleep.

    Yang Shi could hear the water falling from the shower as someone is taking a bath. Yang Shi became curious as he activated his Celestial View. The door and walls vanished as Yang Shi saw the figure inside the bathroom. The walls are made from mortal ricks and not from Magical brick so Yang Shi could see through them.

    " Pah, Pervert!." Jin Yu snorted from the egg. " You dare to disrespect Celestial View technique?" She raged. " Kiddo, Don''t disturb me." Yang Shi snorted as he focused. YangShi could see a girl taking bath. Her skin was creamy as the water was gliding down on it. It was steamy inside the bathroom, but Yang Shi could see everything clearly.

    The girl slowly cleaned every inch of her body as she hummed a tune. She even rubbed her bouncy melons, enough for Yang Shi to get a nosebleed. Suddenly, Yang Shi felt an evil fire churning in his stomach as his mind is overloaded with lust.

    " No, I have to stop." Yang Shi suddenly activated his Azure Lotus primordial spirit as he closed the Celestial view. His mind became calm somewhat, but the lust still remained.

    " Should I really wait? I am still a virgin after meeting so many beautiful girls. Bai Ruxue, Xia Rong, and now, Lan Yue." Yang Shi gritted his teeth. " I can be considered same as a Core disciple of arge sect, Yet..." Yang Shi was frustrated. It was okay not to see. But since he has seen Lan Yue naked already, his desires can no longer be suppressed.

    YangShi''s little brother already stood high, and now Yang Shi was having difficulty calming it down. But then, The door of the bathroom opened as Lan Yu came out. A white towel covered her wet body. As she just came out of the shower, she was extremely shocked to see someone sitting on her couch.

    She was about to scream as the person vanished from his spot as he appeared in front of her, covering her mouth with his palm. Yang Shi pushed her against the wall as he chuckled softly, " Has Miss Lan forgotten her benefactor?"

    Recognizing Yang Shi, Lan Yue relieved, but her heart was still pounding. She was standing half-naked in front of a young man, so her mind was a mess now.

    " I...I...Can I wear some clothes?" Lan Yue stuttered as she asked meekly. " What if I say no?" Yang Shi raised his brows. Lan Yue''s face turned red as she quivered. Yang Shi grinned as he let her go. Lan Yue rushed into a room and came back wearing a light green dress.

    " Why bother? It''s not like I never saw you bare." Yang Shi muttered. Lan Yue''s eyes went wide as she asked, " Were you peeking at me?" " Yep, I can see through walls." Yang Shi nodded honestly. Lan Yue felt this young man''s skin is really thick. Such shamelessness!

    " Why did you came here?" Lan Yue questioned after she calmed her breathing. " I am like floating cloud and flowing river. Even I don''t know where I would go next." Yang Shi smiled. " Additionally, You should thank me. After all, I killed some insects for your family." At first, Lan Yue didn''t understand, but her expression changed greatly. " It was you who killed Li Mei and Li Han?!" She cried. But then, He could even wipe out so many bandits by just unsheathing his sword. So killing those from the Li n isn''t any difficulty.

    " No need to pay for this little task. However, I definitely charge for other big tasks." Yang Shi grinned mysteriously. " Like, Saving someone from illness." He whispered in her ears. Hearing Yang Shi, Lan Yue''s body began to tremble. This young man is bing more and more mysterious. Lan Yue suddenly knelt as she said, " Please, Young Noble, cure my father."

    " How do you know that I can save your father? Moreover, Even if I can save him, Can you really pay my expenses?" YangShi snorted. " I know, Young master has miraculous abilities. You can definitely save my father. As for expenses..." Lan Yue became silent, but her eyes were still pleading.

    " It''s not like there aren''t any ways. Let me meet him first." Yang Shi waved his hands. But even while talking with Lan Yue, Yang Shi never stopped using the mind-calming ability of Azure Lotus. He was struggling against his will to push Lan Yue on the bed.

    Yang Shi pulled out a red robe and wore it, and h attached a seal on his chest. Lan Yue was bewildered as she couldn''t understand the meaning behind Yang Shi''s action. It was a bright red robe, with a symbol of a golden me behind it. The seal on his chest was pitch back, with a hammer emblem.

    " Don''t worry. It''s all for my authenticity." Yang Shi chuckled. Then he signaled Lan Yue to lead the way. They both walked out of the room. The corridor was filled with numerous guards, most of them are half step Primordial Spirit Realm. With these observations, Yang Shi guessed that the Lan and Li family are even weaker than the Mei family of Leaping Carp Town.

    Soon they reached a room, where two guards suddenly stopped them. " Young Miss, This person?" They inquired. " He is my friend. He came here to see my father." Lan Yue said. The guards nodded as they let them enter.

    Yang Shi entered the room, only to see a man lying on the bed. His face was pale, and his eyes were closed. Yang Shi went and touched his face, only to find it very cold. However, the man was still breathing.

    " He is my father. He was going to ascend to be the Patriarch a month ago, But then, He caught this strange illness." Lan Yue said sadly. " We called many alchemists, but no one could cure him. One of them said it might be a cold poison, So we must make a pill from Fire Spirit Grass."

    Yang Shi didn''t say anything as he took out his dagger and made a small cut on the man''s palm. A little blood came out as Yang Shi collected it. The man remained unconscious. It looked like he didn''t wake up for days.

    Then he ignited his Spirit Fire to burn that drop of blood. He controlled the intensity of the heat, so after the blood evaporated, a little ck residue remained. Yang Shi activated his Celestial View as he looked at it.

    " Interesting." Yang Shi smirked. " I think, I..." As Yang Shi was going to say something, a dozen of people barged into that room. " Lan Yue! Who gave you the permission to bring a stranger here?" A youth shouted. Yang Shi frowned as he disliked being disturbed while talking. " It seems I should really let them see the heights of heaven." Yang Shi muttered.

 Chapter 126: Imposing

    Chapter 126: Imposing

    " And you? Who are you?" An elder asked sternly as he looked at Yang Shi. " I brought him here so he can check my father''s health." Lan Yue stepped forward. " Him? What qualification he has?" Another elder jumped in.

    " Oh, You ask my qualification?" Yang Shi sneered as he turned around. Then he shouted, " If your old eyes haven''t rotten, Then see what I am wearing."

    " Haah, Hahahaha. Brat, It seems you are a bit retard. Just wearing a red robe means gives you an ability of a doctor." The youth from earlier snorted. " Lan Zhu, How dare you disrespecting young master?" Lan Yue angrily said. She was getting afraid inside, " What if this young master bes angry and starts killing?"

    " Fools." Yang Shi turned back. Lan Zhu was stillughing at him, but then, An Elder suddenly stopped him. " What happened?" Lan Zhu asked in confusion. " That robe...I have seen in Firmament City. Yes, it''s from Golden Fire Tower." The elder''s voice quivered. What kind of existence is Golden Fire Tower? It''s the workce of Alchemists and cksmiths of the whole country. Just bing a normal disciple is already much difficult. They test skills of Alchemy and cksmithing and not Martial power.

    " What?" All of them were astonished. Some of them tried to think and found it was indeed the robe of Golden Fire Tower. " How is it possible? Someone from Golden Fire Tower? Here?" Lan Zhu shouted. " Haha, I understand. He must be wearing a fake robe. You even dare to imitate Golden Fire Tower?" Lan Zhu made the conclusion. Elders nodded as they held some doubt toward the authenticity of Yang Shi''s robe.

    " Still not believing" Yang Shi chuckled as he took out a token and poured his spiritual qi in it. The token lit up. The hammer insignia gave off an imposing aura. The elder''s astonished. " That token! It''s indeed from Golden Fire Tower. But it''s not of an Alchemist..." The elder muttered.

    " This means what I said is true." Lan Zhu smiled. " Let me finish my sentence first." The elder red. "It''s not of an alchemist, But it''s the identity token of a cksmith. And it looks like...Impossible! Master grade cksmith?" That elder cried in surprise. Every one of them sucked a breath of cold air.

    " Impossible! That must be a fake token." Lan Zhu roared. He couldn''t ept an oue like this. " No, That token is authentic. Otherwise, how could he activate it?" The elder retorted. " But..." Lan Zhu''s tone was unwilling, but Yang Shi cut in.

    " Enough. It''s my fault for remaining humble." Yang Shi sighed. " I have just forgotten the basic rule of the world- The bigger fist makes thew. Why should I quarrel with you? If any of you have an objection to me being here,e and fight me." Yang Shi smiled as an invisible aura erupted from his body. It was none other than the Aura of ughter.

    The more Yang Shi killed, The more ughter aura he umted. It''s almost be corporeal. Yang Shi didn''t use his full power, only thirty percent. Even its thirty percent, It was too much for the Lan family.

    Other than Lan Yue, Everyone shuddered as they felt their spines went cold. They felt they and inhaling the nauseous stench of blood as their hair stood from horror. It was like they are waiting with their neck washed to be harvested by the death god.

    " No, NO NO NO NO." An Elder bellowed as he slumped on the ground. Simrly, all of them knelt one after another. Lan Zhu''s eyes were vacant as if his soul fled from his body. Lan Yue was in shock and confusion after she witnessed all these. " What happened?" Lan Yue was bewildered. " Nothing, It''s just they realized something." Yang Shi chuckled.

    He retracted his aura, " So, Anybody has any doubts?" He smiled. His smiled was like sunshine, warm and vigorous. Yet those who felt the aura of this young man a moment before felt like a devil was grinning.

    " NO, NO NO. We don''t have any doubts. Cold sweat broke from the bodies of elders as they hastily replied. " Good. You guys haven''t gone senile from old age." Yang Shiughed. " Now leave as I treat him." He pointed at the father of Lan Yue. The elder nodded as they turned to leave. " Halt." Yang Shi suddenly shouted as they stopped.

    Yang Shi looked at Lan Zhu. " You! I didn''t like the way you pointed your fingers at me." Yang Shi said to Lan Zhu. " I..." Lan Zhu was scared witless as he stuttered. " Well, Nevermind. You will never do such a thing in the future." Yang Shi added. " Yes, yes. I will never do..." As Lan Zhu was saying, He saw Yang Shi grabbed his sword hilt. With just a nking sound, he drew his sword halfway and sheathed it again.

    Lan Zhu felt a sharp paining from his palm as he saw his right palm was empty, without any fingers! " AHHHHH." Lan Zhu shrieked miserably as he saw his chopped fingers on the ground.

    " Zhu''er." A white robbed elder shouted, but he was held by others. " Now, Take him and scram." Yang Shi said. Everyone left, dragging Lan Zhu.

    " Why did you guy stopped me?" The white robbed elder asked furiously. " That young man''s cultivation...I have sensed it." Another elder replied. " It was in Primordial Spirit Realm. Moreover, He is powerful than me." The elder added. The white-haired elder''s eyes went wide as he became silent.

    " Young Master, How you are going to treat my father?" Lan Yue asked anxiously. " Well, I have some good detoxification pills. Let''s try them first." Yang Shi said as he pulled the chin of Lan Yue''s father and fed him three pills. The man''s body twitched as his breathing became rapid. The ckness of his body faded a little, but he didn''t open his eyes.

    " Hmm, Frozen dream poison is quite potent. Normal pills can''t cure it. No wonder you were trying to find Fire Spirit Grass." Yang Shi said. " Hmm, But I have other methods. Lan Yue, bring me eighteen silver needles." Yang Shimanded. Lan Yue nodded as she went to bring the silver needles. After she brought it, Yang Shi hurriedly poked eighteen points of the man''s body.

    Afterpleting the Meridian Opening Stage, Yang Shi''s knowledge about the acupoints increased tremendously. He used eighteen points to seal the poison and using his dense spiritual qi to push it out. Yang Shi fully concentrated on it as sweat appeared on his face. The poison was very intense, shing with his spiritual qi. " Hmph, If ordinary qi can push you out, I will use my Fire Qi to burn you." Yang Shi sneered as he activated his Great Yang Extreme me art. He controlled the intensity of his fire qi as it can burn the father of Lan Yue in a minute. He carefully guided it as the poison finally gather at one point of a needle.

    Yang Shi pointed out his index finger as a tiny me appeared on it. Then he gently tapped it on the needle, making it slightly red from the heat. After that, Yang Shi pulled out the needle. Suddenly, ck blood spurt out from there, like a fountain. Yang Shi channeled a bit of Fire qi in the wound as he fed him a healing pill.

    " He is ok now. Your father will wake in some time." Yang Shi smiled.

    Chapter 127: Passionate Yang Shi

    " Are you telling the truth?!" La Yue humped in surprise. " Are you doubting me?" Yang Shi chuckled. " You can see. The ckness of his body almost faded and his breathing is normal now." Yang Shi exined.

    " Thank you, young master. If it wasn''t for you, My father would have died. It has been a week since he woke up." Lan Yue smiled as her eyes became teary from gratitude. Yang Shi wiped it as he raised her chin.

    " So, Miss Lan. About me fees..." Yang Shi smiled. Lan Yue''s smile froze as she became stunned. " Yang Shi whispered in her ears, " Do you know what I am going to ask you for?" Lan Yue''s face flushed as her heartbeat became rapid. " I don''t know." Lan Yue said in a meek voice. " Hehe, To save you and brother from bandits, I asked for your lips. Now for helping your father..." Yang Shi pushed Lan Yue against the wall as he held her waits as muttered, " Now pay with your body." Yang Shi brought his face closer to Lan Yue. Lan Yue stood there dazed, allowing Yang Shi toe closer.

    Lan Yue''s mind was in a mess. She felt both fear and strange anticipation in her heart. The moment this youth saved her and his brother from bandits, she couldn''t stop herself to think about that mysterious young man. She clearly fell in love with him at the first moment.

    " Righteous yet wicked, His personality is strange but his heart is pure. Why shouldn''t I love such a person? Only if he was around, our family can rule this entire town. Moreover his identity as a Master rank cksmith, It''s definitely higher than the status of an Outer disciple of the sect." Lan Yue''s mind raced. It wasn''t like Lan Yue is sacrificing for her family, she also had a secret crush on Yang Shi.

    " So..." Yang Shi'' and Lan Yue''s lips were almost connected, as heavy coughing interrupted them. Lan Yue''s face flushed as he pushed Yang Shi. She became stunned as it was her father who was coughing. Lan Yue hurriedly brought a ss of water. Her father opened his eyes as he looked weakly at Lan Yue.

    " Little Yue." He mumbled feebly. Lan Yue''s eyes became wet as she hugged her father tightly. " Father." She wept. " Haha, Silly child. Don''t cry anymore." The man caressed the hair of Lan Yue as he smiled with affection. Then he looked at Yang Shi and became astonished. " This young man?" He probed. "It''s Young Master..." Lan Yue was going to introduce him but she became stunned. She still hasn''t asked his name. Her face became red from shame.

    " I am Yang Shi. As for upation, I am a jack of all trades." Yang Shi smiled. " Father, It was him who cured you.'' Lan Yue informed.The man was shocked as looked at Yang Shi with careful eyes. " Not even the best alchemist of this town can cure me. But such a young man did it. He must be from a powerful force from great cities." The man thought as he became excited.

    " Good. My name is Lan Xiaozi. I am the father of Lan Yue and Lan Hai. I will be indebted to you for saving me." Lan Xiaozi cupped his fist. " Haha, Uncle Xiaozi doesn''t need to say such things. After all, It the duty of a doctor to cure the patient after taking the fees, although miss Lan has yet to pay." yang Shi looked at Lan Yue with a look of interest. Lan Yue blushed as she looked away.

    Lan Xiaozi was stunned as he calcted in his mind. " It seems my daughter has caught the eyes of this young master." His heart became anticipant as he beamed with a smile. " Those Li family bastards. I will see them in near future." Lan Xiaozi gritted his teeth.

    Lan Yue went outside hurriedly as informed about the awakening of Lan Xiaozi. The Lan family erupted with mor as many elders rushed into the room of Lan Xiaozi. " Lord Xiaozi, You have woken up." They became surprised as he roared with happiness. They bowed to Yang Shi as they expressed their gratitude. Lan Hai came running and cried in front of his father. Yang Shi felt happy to see the family reunion, but he could feel a pang of pain in his heart. " I wonder I even had a family?" Yang Shi sighed inwardly.

    Lan Xiaozi talked with Yang Shi with great enthusiasm. " Damn those Li n pests. They dared to poison me?" Lam Xiaozi was angered. He was still afraid of the strange poison which almost made him lose his life. " How uncle got affected by this poison?" Yang Shi asked curiously. " I went to Eastern Mountain to hunt some Demonic beast, Then a strange snake bit me. I came home and took a detoxifying pill but it became worse. Only in three days, My body became ck and I couldn''t get up from the bed. After two weeks, I went in deep sleep and don''t know anything after." Lan Xiaozi sighed.

    " Maybe Uncle doesn''t know, but Frozen Dream poison isn''t a natural poison." Yang Shi spoke calmly. Hearing him Lan Xiaozi''s expression changed drastically. " Impossible! How can I poisoned by someone?" He asked in confusion. " Well, Frozen dream poison is a poison formed with a mixture of both natural and human technique. The snake that bit you must be a Cold poison snake. With its poison as a catalyst, the detoxifying pill would merge with it, creating the Frozen dream poison." Yang Shi exined.

    " That means..." Lan Xiaozi shuddered as he clenched his fist. Yang Shi smiled and confirmed it, " Yes, there is a traitor in your n." " Hahahaha, It seems some old fogeys can''t remain still. And Li n thinks they got the Golden Sun sect as a backer because his son entered as an outer disciple of Golden Sun Sect and some connection with the Inner sect? Hmph." Lan Xiaozi snorted. " Heh, Uncle doesn''t need to worry. Since Miss Lan will give me her bod...I mean, Since Miss Lan asked me to help, I will definitely help." Yang Shi patted his chest. Lan Xiaoziughed as he praised Yang Shi.

    After talking for a while, Yang Shi returned to his room. It was evening already, so Yang Shi went to take a bath. After covering his lower body with a towel, he came out as he suddenly looked at the door. He tiptoed to the door sid as he quietly unlocked it as he hid nearby. Suddenly, Lan Yue entered with a tray of tea and some snacks. After she put it on the table, she suddenly heard a clicking sound behind him.

    She was about to turn back as someone held her waist from behind. '' Don''t worry, I was just locking the door." Yang Shi whispered. Lan Yue quivered as she turned around, only to look at his fine muscles and sturdy chest. " You...Why haven''t you worn any clothes?" Lan Yue asked angrily as she blushed. " You see, I saw you naked before, so to repay this, I will let you see me naked. So tell me, Should I remove my towel?" Yang Shi smirked. " Rouge." Lan Yue spat.

    " So have youe to fulfill your promise?" Yang Shi asked in a tender tone. Lan Yue''s body quivered as she looked into Yang Shi''s eyes. His eyes were in a strange color, It was almost crimson with partial azure. It had an evil yet attractive charm. " Shall we continue what we left unfinished?" Before Lan Yue could react, Yang Shi already locked his lips with her lips.

    Chapter 128: Bad luck strikes back

    Both Lan Yue and Yang Shi''s minds went nk as they kissed. Yang Shi''s tongue slowly parted the mouth as it intertwined with Lan Yue''s tongue. His moves are skillful, As if he had done it thousands of times. But of course, Other than doing it with Bai Ruxue, Yang Shi could swear that he never kissed another woman.

    Lan Yue finally threw all hesitation as she held Yang Shi firmly and kissed back. Yang Shi felt his lust is rising rapidly as his heartbeat increased. His little brother already started to wake up. " Finally, Today, I will be a true man." Heughed in his mind. But nheless, He could still see affection and nervousness in the eyes of Lan Yue. " Hmm, It seems my luck with women has finally changed." Yang Shi smiled inside. He moved backward as their lips parted. Lan Yue''s breathing became haggard.

    " Your lips are truly fragrant." Yang Shi smiled. " Honestly, I thought you will make some excuses likest time." Yang Shi chuckled. " Well, If that''s what you are thinking, allow me to leave." Lan Yue snorted as she tried to leave. " Hey, hey." Yang Shi pulled her back to his arms, " Darling, Night of love is pitifully short. Why waste it in meaningless things?" Yang Shiughed as he lifted up Lan Yue and went to the bed. " Bah, You are such a smooth talker. You must have wooed many girls." Lan Yue snorted.

    " Ahh. Indeed there are too many women on my side." yang Shi gave a wink. Lan Yue felt sour in her heart. " But don''t worry, You will be the same as them, equal for me." Yang Shi nudged his lips on Lan Yue''s neck. Lan Yue felt a bit happy, but she knew women of such powerful young master like Yang Shi might be more beautiful and more powerful than her.

    Yang Shi might leave her after having a one night stand with her. " Since I have promised, let me fulfill it. Even if he forgets me in the future, I will never." Lan Yue sighed in her heart as she kissed Yang Shi fiercely. Yang Shi already began to remove her clothes. He could see her smooth white neck and feel her tender skin. Yang Shi was about to remove her final clothing as a voice rang in his mind.

    " Stop it. Don''t do it now." The voice said. Yang Shi sneered as he didn''t listen to it. His eyes already became fiery crimson. " Brat, Stop, and listen to me first." The voice said again. Lan Yue was breathing heavily as her face turned red. She only wore her undergarments. Yang Shi sighed reluctantly as he poked her chest. Lan Yue was startled, but her vision swayed as she fell to dep asleep.

    " Old Man, Stop cockblocking me." Yang Shi raged as he felt his body was on heat. " Hmph, If you really want to kill Lan Yue, then please, go ahead." Samsara Emperor snorted. He thought to talk about things calmly, but in the end, he needed to be forceful. Yang Shi''s mind trembled, but he couldn''t understand what Samsara Emperor meant. " Look at yourself. You aren''t even in your right mind. Your soul is already incited by the Crimson Lily." Samsara Emperor said again. Yang Shi finally understood as he hurriedly activated his Azure Lotus primordial spirit. His mind calmed a bit, and he asked, " So, What were you saying?"

    " Listen to me, Brat. Every creature''s body has a bnce of five elements, Yin and Yang. Women have most Yin qi, and Men have most Yang qi, But nheless, everyone has both Yin and Yang qi. There are lots of people who don''t lose their virginity before reaching the higher cultivation realm, as losing virginity means losing their Primal Yin qi or Primal Yang qi."

    " There are also various methods, know as dual cultivation methods. It helps men and women tobine their Primal Yang qi and Primal Yin qi to increase cultivation. There are also some people who just directly devour the Primal qi along with their cultivation of others forcibly. However, forcefully plucking the Primal qi and cultivation makes the other party crippled or dead. You can have Bai Ruxue''s Pure Yin Maiden Physique as an example." Samsara Emperor exined.

    " I understand. But, I am not forcefully seizing Lan Yue''s Primal Yin qi. So, Why it would endanger her life?" Yang Shi asked in confusion. " You actually forgot something. You have Immemorial Evil Yin veins, the most powerful Yin attribute physique. If you are not careful, the Yin vein will devour all the Yin qi of her to sustain itself. And when your overpowered Primal Yang qi of Nine Saints Extreme Yang physique would enter her body, it''s enough to kill her." Samsara Emperor chuckled.

    " What the fuck? I can''t even open my Immmorial Evil Vein. And, Doesn''t that means I will remain a virgin forever?" Yang Shi''s breathing became haggard as he roared. He was so close to achieving his goal. But now his fucking Yin physique has destroyed all of his hopes. " Pah, People would agree to die three times, just to get such Yin physique. But you? Treating it as trash." Samsara Emperor raged. " But it isn''t if there isn''t any solution." Samsara Emperor smirked. Hearing him, Yang Shi''s crying came to stop as he listened attentively.

    " First thing, You will need a superior kind of Primal Yin qi. So...Umm...It must be Bai Ruxue as your first woman." Samsara Emperor coughed lightly. Yang Shi was bewildered, but he nodded hurriedly. " Even if you haven''t said this, I would do it with her sooner orter." Yang Shi muttered. " Don''t jump to the conclusion. When you met Bai Ruxue, You had two choices. First, do with her and use her Pure Yin Maiden physique as a cauldron as it would have increased your cultivation tremendously."

    " But you used the second choice. You gave her the Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art, transforming her Pure Yin Maiden Physique into Nine Yin Empryean Physique. This cultivation technique has nineyers, and from my guess, She would have reached the peak of the secondyer. But the most crucial thing is to break through the thirdyer. Only then, She would able to wield the power of the Nine Yin Empryean Physique. And to cross this step, Sh would need a strong Yang qi. Do you understand What I mean?" Samsara Emperor asked.

    Yang Shi''s eyes sparkled as he hurriedly nodded. " Yes, I am willing to <em>sacrifice</em> my Primal Yang qi for her. But then, Won''t I end up stealing all of her Primal Yin qi? It might be terrible for her foundation." Yang Shi suddenly thought as he frowned. Although he wanted to sex with Bai Ruxue badly, He won''t do it, if it costs her life and cultivation.

    " I also have a solution for that. I will teach you an incantation, Which will allow you to control your Yin veins. You can also use your Tai Chi method to use Yang to suppress Yin. And using my incantation will help you to increase both your and Bai Ruxue''s cultivation after sex." Samsara Emperor exined.

    " Does that mean the incantation is a Dual cultivation method?" Yang Shi suddenly asked in a happy tone. " Yes, and No. This incantation is like the short author''s note of a big novel. So, This is not a true dual cultivation method. Yang Shi became dejected. " Well, It can boost your pleasures to many times." Samsara Emperor said in a low voice. Yang Shi''s lifeless eyes gained some rity. He sighed, " I guess, Tonight, I am not destined with Lan Yue."

    Lan Yue was still lying on the bed, only with her undergarments. Yang Shi resisted his urge to press her down under him. " Just sleep again, little bro." He gently rubbed her little dragon. But, It didn''t calm down. " Fuck, It''s really irritating." YangShi gritted his teeth as he tried to sleep.

 Chapter 129: Secret Weapon

    Chapter 129: Secret Weapon

    "Mnnn." Lan Yue yawned as her eyelids fluttered. She woke up but soon found she was hugging Yang Shi like an octopus. She could feel the hot breath of Yang Shi. " Wh-What happened?" She hurriedly got. Yang Shi also woke up after that. " Why are you shouting in so early morning?" Yang Shi stretched his armed as he pulled Lan Yue to his embrace. Lan Yue suddenly remembered what happenedst night, but her memories seemed to be hazy.

    " What happenedst night?" Lan Yue muttered. Yang Shi caressed her hair as he smiled, " You don''t know? You started to throw tantrums afterward." Yang Shi sighed. " After that? Did we..." Lan Yue asked meekly. " You were unwilling, so how can I force you?" Yang Shi rolled his eyes. He can''t tell her the truth, so he made a tant lie for her.

    " No wonder." Lan Yue thought. Although she was a pure maiden, she still heard some things from her maidservants. " They said it pains too much after doing it, although it was negligible to the pleasure. And there is also no bloodstain." Lan Yue thought inwardly. She sat there in a daze. Nheless, She was very happy to see that Yang Shi didn''t do it with her forcibly.

    Yang Shi was admiring her beauty. She wore nothing except her snow-white bra and a white panty. Although Yang Shi kept his Crimson lily in control, he was still intoxicated by her.

    " Miss, Lan, tormenting me with your charm, yet not giving the chance. You are such a bad girl." Yang Shi ced his head on her shoulder as he whispered in her ears. Then Lan Yue remembered that she wore nothing except her undergarments. " I will change it now." Lan Yue tried to get up, but Yang Shi pulled her back. " We have already seen each other. What''s there to shame?" Yang Shi chuckled. Lan Yue''s face turned red as she snorted, " Don''t you feel awkward?" " Why would I?" Yang Shi rebuked. " Do you know? How much I am suppressing myself?" Yang Shiughed.

    " I..." Lan Yue blushed. How can he talk such things so openly? But she felt a strange kind of happiness to be unrestrained. " No worry of family or society. How wonderful the life is..." Lan Yue sighed. " What if I agree right now?" Lan Yue suddenly asked. Yang Shi was startled as his face became odd. He took a deep breath and said, " Even if you agree, I won''t do it right now." Yang Shi said. This time, Lan Yue became surprised. " But why? Don''t young master Yang likes me?" She faintly asked.

    " Your cultivation is too low. If you lose your Primal Yin qi right now, It may affect your cultivation foundation. I was so so forgetful. I almost did itst night." Yang Shi sighed. Lan Yue felt her heart in a mess. Her sweet feeling toward Yang Shi intensified. " We need to wait till you reach Primordial Spirit Realm." Yang Shi said. " Doesn''t that mean it might take some years?" Lan Yue frowned. Yang Shi looked at her with weird eyes. " Years? At most, it will take a week." Yang Shi muttered. Yang Shi forgot that resources are very scarce here. Not many can cross the Fifth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, let alone breaking through the primordial Spirit Realm before age of 20.

    " WHAT? WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?" Lan Yue felt her mind turning nk. Primordial Spirit Realm before the age of 20? Lan Xiaozi was 39 years old when he reached Primordial Spirit Awakening. If someone reached Primordial Spirit Realm before 20 years, They can be eligible to enter powerful sects of the Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. Yang Shi was startled by the reaction of Lan Yue. " Wh-What''s so surprising about it? Look at me. I am at the Sixth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm and awakened my Primordial Spirits." Yang Shi casually said.

    Yang Shi took out a bottle and passed it to Lan Yue. " This is a bottle of True Vital Pill. It is a necessary pill for Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators. But since you are only at Spiritual Ascension Realm, Eat one pill in two days and you will reach Primordial Spirit Realm in a week of time." Yang Shi exined. Lan Yue held the bottle like a priceless treasure.

    She once heard that her grandfather bought two such pills for 50,000 gold coins. It was very costly for them. " Young master, It must be very costly, right? How can I ept this?" Lan Yue said hesitantly. " Costly? I can give you such pills as much you want. Besides, You are my woman now, so why care about money?"

    " And since you have said it, Take another bottle. This is for that brat, Xiao Hai." Yang Shi gave another bottle to Lan Yue. Since he already reached the Sixth stage, the True Vital pill''s effectiveness had lessened. Moreover, His dantian''s size has expanded, and he also practices the Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body technique. Yang Shi needed some more powerful pills to enhance his cultivation.

    Lan Yue was in a daze. She wondered from what kind of ce Yang Shi hase from? Is the immortal city with floating pces? " Don''t worry, Once you breakthrough to the Primordial Spirit realm, I will take you to Firmament City." Yang Shi said. Lan Yue suddenly hugged Yang Shi as she kissed him. Yang Shi became amazed by the boldness of Lan Yue, but he didn''t hold back either.

    Their tongues intertwined as they kissed for a long time. Yang Shi felt his mes of lust again started to burn in his stomach. He couldn''t help to hug Lan Yue tighter as his evil palms slithered in her bra. Lan Yue could feel the hands invading to capture her mountain, but she didn''t stop Yang Shi. Yang Shi squeezed the bosom of Lan Yue as she moaned softly. " Young...master... It-It''s sensitive there." Lan Yue panted.

    Yang Shi came back to his mind as he hurriedly retracted his palm." Eh?" Lan Yue felt something was poking her abdomen. " Young master, Are you hiding your dagger here?" She questioned. She remembered how Yang Shi''s dagger killed the bandit. Yang Shi became embarrassed after hearing about his dagger. But an evil idea came to his mind as he nodded. " Yes, It''s my special weapon. Do you want to see it? Come closer, Yes. Now close your eyes."

    Lan Yue nodded as she wanted to see what kind of special weapon Yang Shi uses. Yang Shi grinned as he took off his towel. Yang Shi wore nothing more than a towelst night. And after sleeping, his towel was on the verge of falling as his little brother already awakens from Lan Yue''s kiss. *PWOING* Yang Shi''s little ck dragon jumped out. Lan Yue''s eyes were closed, so she didn''t see anything. " First touch it." Yang Shi said. Lan Yue nodded as she suddenly grabbed it. Yang Shi closed his eyes from pleasure.

    " Hmm. What a strange dagger. It''s round and kinda meaty. It''s slightly hotter. Eh? Is it throbbing?" Lan Yue tried to shake it a little as it was squishy and hard at the same time. "Mmm, It''s so good... Crap, I have to stop else I won''t able to control myself." Yang Shi''s eyes snapped open,

    Lan Yue opened her eyes in curiosity, only to saw a long and thick, ck-colored thingy. She blinked in confusion but realization struck her mind. " This..." Lan Yue''s face turned red like a tomato as she felt smoke was rising from her face. Yang Shiughed hard as he rolled on the bed. " Pervert, Baddie. Pah, Pah. How dare you to deceive me?" Lan Yue got up as she turned to leave. " Are you going to leave naked? By the way, You got a nice ass."

    Yang Shiughingly said as hisughter didn''t cease till now. " Pervert, You are such a rouge." Lan Yue hurriedly came back and wore her clothes and left quickly. " It seems, I have to stay away from girls till I awakened my Immemorial Evil Yin Vein. Then I can go on the path of making a big harem." Yang Shi thought as he got ready for breakfast.

 Chapter 130: Who can stop me?

    Chapter 130: Who can stop me?

    Yang Shi got ready when suddenly, a light shed in his room. Yang Shi wasn''t surprised as a little girl appeared from it. " How was your sleep?" Yang Shi asked as hebed his hair. " Hmph, Thanks to you, I almost had a sleepless night." Jin Yu snorted. " Well, Then you should have closed your ears. How told you to eavesdrop on us?" Yang Shiughed. " Anyway, I am hungry. Where is the breakfast?" Jin Yu asked. She wore a lovely green dress, with two little braids, she looked very cute.

    " Hmm, I helped them so much, so don''t worry about the food at least." Yang Shi said. He looked himself in the mirror, " Mmm, Quite handsome. At least better than my deadpan face ofst life." Yang Shi smiled. He looked at his eyes, it almost bnced between azure and crimson, making a fine purple color.

    " Ah, Junior Yang, please. Have a seat." Lan Xiaozi smiled as he saw Yang Shiing to the dining hall. But he became startled as he saw Jin Yu beside Yang Shi. " This littledy..." Lan Xiaozi probed. " Ahem, She is my...Little cousin, Jin Yu." Yang Shi coughed slightly. Jin Yu looked at the table and asked, " Where is food?" Lan Yue and Lan Hai were also sitting beside Lan Xiaozi. Especially, Lan Hai sat on the thigh of Lan Xiaozi.

    Yang Shi''s face twitched after he heard what Jin Yu said. Lan Xiaozi''s face turned awkward as he hurriedly said, " Pardon this old man for beingte, Bring the food here." He ordered. Instantly, Many dishes came on the table. Jin Yu''s eyes gleamed as she hurriedly devoured food. " Xiao Yu, have some manners." Yang Shi slightly coughed. But unfortunately, Jin Yu didn''t listen to him.

    " Junior Yang, When you came here, I didn''t saw little Yu." Lan Xiaozi asked. "It''s just that thisss doesn''t like to sit in one ce. So she went to stroll around the town." Yang Shiughed. " One more te of Pine Crane meat." Jin Yu suddenly said. Lan Yue couldn''t help butugh. " Bring as Miss Yu orderd." Lan Xiaozi said to his servant, "It''s a small treat for Junior Yang."

    " Uncle Xiaozi, I would like to leave today." Yang Shi suddenly said. Everyone became startled, " Junior Yang, is it because of the Li Family?" Lan Xiaozi quietly asked. He already gathered news about Lin Han and Li Mei''s death. " Hahaha, Uncle is looking down on me too much. How can a Li family make me feel threatened?" Yang Shughed. "It''s just that I have some work in Firmament City. I have to return soon." Yang Shi shook his head.

    " Firmament City..." Lan Xiaozi muttered. He went there once, and it was like a cultivation paradise for him. He even saw an elder with the cultivation of Half step Violet Pce Expansion realm. Whether it''s spirit pills or Spirit grade weapons, it was an abundance there. Unfortunately, it was way overpriced for them.

    " If Junior Yang wishes to leave, We won''t persuade you." Lan Xiaozi lightly said. After all, if Yang Shi wished to leave, who can stop him? " Many thanks, elder." Yang Shi nodded. Jin Yu wasn''t listening to any of the talks as she was focused on her food. After eating, Yang Shi and Jin Yu got ready to leave.

    Lan Yue felt empty in her heart, but she didn''t show it on her face. Yang Shi smiled at Lan Yue as he patted on the head of Lan Hai. " Brat, Cultivate well and be strong enough to protect your loved ones." Yang Shi said to him. Lan Hai nodded seriously, " I will." Yang Shi waved his hand as he took out three pitch-ck daggers. It was none other than the Dark Twilight Daggers. He handed them to Lan Hai.

    Lan Hai became bewildered as he held it. His little body trembled as an icy aura crept on his palm. " This dagger, Is my first weapon. It apanied me to kill many people, so it was tainted by my killing intent. But as long as your heart is firm, You will able to utilize it to ughter your enemies." Yang Shi''s face became serious. It was indeed the weapon Yang Shi relied on most in past. It was a Spirit-grade weapon and purely meant for killing.

    But for current him, These daggers are no longer much useful. Yang Shi was thinking to forge some new daggers as he has many high-grade ores at his disposal. So he felt he should giveaway this as a small token. Lan Xiaozi''s eyes turned strange as he felt the dagger wasn''t any simple dagger.

    " Miss Lan, It seems time part." Yang Shi smiled at Lan Yue. Lan Yue felt sorrowful, but she smiled. Yang Shi came closer to her as he softly said, " I have left something for you. Go and check in your bedroom." Lan Yue became stunned. After True Vital pills and his precious daggers, What extra Yang Shi left for her?

    Yang Shi turned around and left along with Jin Yu, but as they reached the Lan Family gate, a guard came running. " Master, It seems the Li family guards are trying to find Young noble Yang. They almost reached our entrance." The guard hurriedly said. Lan Xiaozi''s face turned frosty. " Those bastards. I will see how they can harm Junior Yang." He snorted. Yang Shi grinned as he raised his hand/ " I don''t want to disturb uncle for this trifling matter. Lan Xiaozi became startled, but when he thought about the seemingly influential background of Yang Shi, He couldn''t help but see it.

    Yang Shi went outside and saw more than a few dozen of guards standing outside. As they looked at Yang Shi and Jin Yu, their eyes gleamed in a cold light. " It must be them. They are perfectly matching the description." The one standing in front of said gravely. " You two,e with us." He said loudly as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " Those who don''t want to die, please back off. I repeat, back off, and you will leave." Yang Shi yelled loudly. The bystanders looked at Yang Shi with odd eyes. " I think that brat must be gone insane." they discussed. The Li family''s ck guards are very fierce. No one dared to talk with them like this.

    The ck guard''s leader''s eyes became narrowed. " Hmph, What an undisciplined brat. Let mest your tongue." He pulled out his sword. Yang Shi''s smiled didn''t diminish. " I guess, You won''t cry before yous see the coffins." He sighed. " Let''s see who will stop this young master." Yang Shiughed as he stretched his arm. A faint golden light zapped in his right arm as he activated the Gold Devil Seal.

    What is Metal Qi? It''s the sharpest qi among the qi of five elements. Most cultivators add the affinity of Metal qi in their weapons as it greatly enhances thebat power. However, The Gold Devil Seal allows Yang Shi to control Metal qi at will, making his arms sharp enough to cut through gold and jades smoothly.

    The guards became angered by the reply of Yang Shi as they rushed forward. Yang Shi walked nonchntly as in his eyes, they are mere ants. Everyone from the Lan family could watch the scene. However, Lan Yue was calm, as she has full confidence in Yang Shi.

    Like a ck tide, The ck guards charged at Yang Shi and Jin Yu. Yang Shi''s arm trembled as it became a bit hazy. Nobody saw what happened, but suddenly, the guards gave a blood-curdling scream as blood spurted like a fountain.

 Chapter 131: Situation in Firmament City

    Chapter 131: Situation in Firmament City

    People were stunned, as they couldn''t understand what happened in the instance. Yang Shi and Jin Yu already passed the ck guards. One after another, the guards began to scream as they tumbled down. Blood spattered as all of their arms got severed.

    The captain of the team trembled as he saw his own arm lying on the ground, gripping the sword tightly. His vision red as he fell down. People from Lan Family stood like wooden chickens, including Lan Xiaozi. Although he also killed a fair share of people in his life, he never saw such hellish carnage before. Lan Yue already saw such a scene before, but nheless, she was still stunned.

    The most surprising thing was, no matter how much blood spattered around, not even a single drop fell on Yang Shi. Even Jin Yu waspletely clean, like a lotus leaf in the water. They walked like nothing happened as they soon disappeared from the sights.

    " UGH...BLERGH!" Finally, someone couldn''t hold back as they vomited. They lived in a small town, so they never experienced to such bloodshed. Although none of the guards died, their fate is not too good. If not treated in time, they might die in a more painful way.

    The whole town fell in uproar as the matter spread like wildfire. The Li Family sent all of their elders to bring back the guards. One could see the pensive expression on their face. In fact, without witnessing it, none might have believed that a single wave of hand can disable two dozens of strong guards.

    " Yue''er, Just who was he?" Lan Xiaozi gave a deep sigh as he asked Lan Yue. " He is my brother-inw." Lan Hai proudly said. " Xiao Hai!." Lan Yue snorted as her face became red. Lan Hai stuck out his tongue as he looked at the three daggers with determination.

    Lan Xiaozi was even more astonished as he took a dagger from Lan Hai and channeled his spiritual qi. The dagger shone with a cold light as small runes emerged from it. " Spirit Weapon!" Lan Xiaozi felt his heart might leap out of his mouth.

    Lan Family has only two Spirit grade weapons in its treasury, and both of them are their ancestral weapons. But looking at the dagger, their ancestral weapons might be pale inparison. Lan Xiaozi returned it to Lan Hai, " Xiao Hai, always cherish these daggers. If you can, master these daggers, and you will be very powerful." Lan Xiaozi said seriously. " I will, Father."Lan Hai nodded.

    The people from the Li family left quietly, without making trouble with Lan Family. So Lan Xiaozi also brought back their people. Lan Yue sighed as she returned to her room. She lied on the bed as she could feel the lingering fragrance of Yang Shi. No other man than her has entered her room and rested on her bed. Her heart thumped wildly as she thought about the matters fromst night.

    " Eh? Something is here." Lan Yue startled as she felt something was under the bedsheet. She looked and found a small pouch. " Could it be the gift he has left for me?" She remembered the words of Yang Shi. " But I don''t see any peculiarities." Lan Yue muttered. But with a sudden thought, she infused her spiritual qi in it. Lan Yue suddenly felt the space in the pouch widened by several times.

    " Storage Pouch!" She eximed loudly. Lan Yue never thought it was a storage pouch. She only heard about storage pouches, which can carry a lot of items in its vast space. It was so precious that no one in Eastern Valley Town has a storage pouch. She hurriedly looked inside and almost fainted from shock.

    There was arge heap of gold coins inside. It was more than a hundred thousand. It was more than Lan Family''s ie of five years. She also saw a longsword ced in it. She took out the longsword as she caressed it. It was slightly blue in color, as a crest of the moon was embedded on the center of its guard. The more she looked at it, the more surprised she got. From the strange pattern on the de, she recognized it as Spirit grade weapon.

    She found two small booklets in it. She opened it and began to read. One of them was a sword technique, named " Dancing Butterfly Sword Art." It was perfectly paired with the longsword. The second booklet was about a defense technique called " Radiant Guard." It was the same technique Yang Shi used to use in past. If practiced to the pinnacle, It can block most of the opponent''s attack. There was a small note at the end of the booklet.

    <em>" Be strong ande to Firmament City. Even if fate doesn''t allow, We will definitely meet again."</em>

    <em>"</em> Don''t worry, Young Master. I shalle soon." Lan Yue''s eyes shone with determination. She took out a pill bottle and ate a pill from it, and began to cultivate.

    It was a gloomy day for Li Family. The Li family patriarch smashed the table with anger. First, It was his second son, now all the ck guards. " Patriarch, I think Lan Family might have some connection with some powerhouse." An Elder said slowly. " Can It be bigger than the Golden Sun Sect?" Li family patriarch sneered. " Let''s low for a while. Once Changfeng returns from the sect, We will raze the Lan Family to the ground. Hmph, I will also see that brat." He scowled. Lan Family was already finished in his eyes.

    ..............................

    " Hey, Can you slow down a bit?" Yang Shi yelled angrily as he pushed his Starlight Burst to its limits. " Hmph, If you can''t even catch up to me when I am just walking, You better stop using Starlight Burst." Jin Yu snickered. SAhe was training Yang Shi in his agility technique. Jin Yu has suppressed her cultivation of Primordial Spirit Realm. But even with that, Her speed far surpassed Yang Shi.

    " If can''t keep up with me in my suppressed state, You can''t reach the Initialpletion stage of Starlight Burst." Jin Yu shook his head. It looked like she was just taking a stroll, but her speed was so fast that even Yang Shi felt demotivated. " Hurry up, We still far from the city." Jin Yu suddenly vanished from her spot. " Damn it." Yang Shi cursed as he chased her.

    With Yang Shi''s speed, it took two days to reach Firmament City. But when they reached the city gate, Yang Shi surprised a bit. It was guarded heavily as everyone is going through a strict inspection. " What happened while I was gone?" Yang Shi thought. He proceeds to the city gate as the guards stopped him and Jin Yu.

    " Halt, Who are you?" The guard asked sternly. Yang Shi frowned as he showed the guard his Golden Fire Token. " Ah, So you are an esteemed cksmith of Golden Fire Tower." The guard''s tone became polite. This was Firmament City and everyone knows about the Golden Fire Token.

    " Why the security is so tight today? I was out of the city, so I don''t know. Did something happen?" Yang Shi asked curiously. " Ah, It seems young master didn''t know. Five days ago, The elder from Demonic Sound Pce attacked second young master Mo Yi and Liu Mei." The guard sighed. Yang Shi''s face darkened as he hurriedly rushed to the Mo Family manor.

 Chapter 132: Mo Yis wrath

    Chapter 132: Mo Yi''s wrath

    Yang Shi became anxious as he rushed in full speed. " Damn it, How the hell his father came here?" Yang Shi shouted in his heart. In no time, he reached the Mo n. The guards recognized Yang Shi and let him in.

    Yang Shi became stunned as he saw Mo Yi. Although he looked fine, Yang Shi could see that his internal body was still a bit damaged. Mo Yi suddenly looked at Yang Shi as his expression turned happy. " Brother Yang! You are finally here." He shouted as he rushed toward Yang Shi.

    " Just what on the earth happened?" Yang Shi asked helplessly. " Well, It was quite aplicated matter. But don''t worry, Everything is fine now." Mo Yiughed but hisughter had a tint of sadness.

    " How is sister Mei?" Yang Shi asked in a low tone. Mo Yi''s smiling face turned a stiff a little. He sighed, " She is fine. Just taking a little rest." " Fuck, It''s all my fault. That bastard tracked us through his soul seed in the ck Spear of Yin Luo." Yang Shi cursed. " But I clearly destroyed it." He remembered Samsara Emperor said that his awakening of Nine Saint Extreme Yang physique had destroyed the tracking seal. " Was that such case?" Mo Yi blinked in surprise.

    " It wasn''t your fault, Brother Yang. Yin Hongxu didn''t know that you are also there when we killed Yin Luo. Rather than tracking us, he found information from outside." Mo Yi clenched his fists. "Could it be he found the string with Mo Feng?" Yang Shi asked suddenly. " Maybe, But he wasn''t absolutely sure that I was the one who killed Mo Feng." " Just tell me what happened." Yang Shi urged. " It happened five days ago..."

    ................................................................................................

    " Damn, Just how much shopping you are going to do?" Mo Yi raged as he yelled at Liu Mei. " Pei, What do you know about women? We need to make ourselves prettier than others." Liu Mei snickered. " Heh, Saying that I don''t know about women..." Mo Yi chuckled. " I will break your legs if you ever dared to step into Hundred Flower Pce again." Liu Mei said curtly. Mo Yi became terrified after looking at her grin.

    " I am your future husband, and you dare to talk to me like this?" Mo Yi shouted. He really believed that Liu Mei might make him disabled. " Future husband? Talk after you beat me in the duel." Liu Meiughed. " Hmph, Just wait for ten days. I will change my surname if can''t defeat you." Mo Yi clenched his teeth. " Oh really? Then get ready to change your surname to Liu." Liu Mei smiled charmingly. One could never feel any sense of harm from her smile, But Mo Yi knew it was the smile of a demoness.

    " Hmm, For your information, Today I am buying clothes and essories for sister Bai. Aiiz, she was so beautiful, yet she doesn''t wear anything to make her more pretty." Liu Mei sighed. " Hmm, I felt Sister Ruxue has good potential, but why isn''t she ascending to Primordial Spirit Realm?" Mo Yi asked in confusion.

    " I also asked her about it. She said she won''t ascend before Brother Yanges. But the strange thing is, It seems she is practicing some powerful cultivation technique. Even she is at the ninth stage of the Spiritual Ascension realm, I feel she can defeat the first stage cultivators of Primordial Spirit Realm." Liu Mei said. " Moreover, her sword art is very exquisite. She had asked me to spar with her, and it was wonderful. I never saw such swords y even in the Captial." Liu Mei smacked her lips.

    " Hmm, Now you have said, It''s been a month since Brother Yang had left. Damn, He didn''t inform me that he has be a Master grade cksmith." Mo Yi snorted, But from his tone, He was quite happy.

    " I never saw Brother Yang fighting ever again after that day. After I defeat you, I will challenge him to a duel." Mo Yi said proudly. " Heh, Again boasting your capabilities." Liu Mei sneered. " Hmph, Just wait littledy, I will defeat you and make you obey to me." Mo Yi sneered in his mind.

    As they were walking down the street, Mo Yi and Liu Mei suddenly halted. " Who is there!?" Mo Yi suddenly shouted. He felt a malicious intenting at them. " Are you the Second Young Master of Mo n? Suddenly, a ck-cloaked figure appeared with a gust of ck wind.

    Mo Yi''s eyes shrunk as he couldn''t feel the cultivation stage of the neer. " Elder, Who are you? Since you know our identities, why are you stopping us?" Liu Mei''s tone became a little cold. She knew this man was up to no good.

    " So you are Mo Yi. Have you ever met my son, Yin Luo?" The ck-cloaked elder asked calmly. Hearing him, Mo Yi''s expression changed drastically, but he quickly maintained hisposure. But it couldn''t hide from the eyes of the stranger, as his smile became crooked.

    ck threads of wind bellowed from his back as he roared, " SO YOU ARE THE ONE WHO KILLED MY LUO''ER!!!" Mo Yi felt his blood flowed in reverse, as he almost fell down. As he was about to say something, Liu Mei erupted in anger. " You Old art! You dare to bully your junior? Do you have any evidence?"

    " Lass, When I capture this brat, I will get my evidence." The stranger cackled. " Yin Hongxu, You dare to touch me in Firmament City? Don''t you fear the Mo n?" Mo Yi raged. It was simply too shameless of Yin Hongxu to attack the younger generation. " Hmph. Mo Yi, You dare to kill my son, and still trying to scare me? Don''t you think, I don''t know your old man''s cultivation is already fallen to the Primordial Spirit realm? I have already ascended to Violet Pce Expansion Realm, Do you think I will fear Mo n?" Yin Hongxu sneered.

    " Hehe, did you thought you will escape after you destroyed my tracking spell? I have other means to find you. Now obedientlye with me. Just wait, I will let you feel the pain worse than death." Yin Hongxu cackled as he swung his arm. " Back off!" Liu Mei suddenly pulled out her short sword as she screamed.

    " Purple Moon spirit, appear! Purple Petal Burst!" A phantom of a purple-colored beast appeared behind Liu Mei as she tried to block Yin Hongxu. " Hmph, Bitch, You are seeking death." Yin Hongxu sneered as he sent a ck-colored beam at Liu Mei. " Watch out!" Mo Yi''s face turned pale as he shouted desperately. " Setting Moon Shield!" Liu Mei clenched her teeth as she made a purple shield around her. But the ck beam easily tore through it and sent her flying.

    " LIU MEI!!!" Mo Yi roared as he looked at Yin Hongxu with red eyes. " Bastard!" Mo Yi roared as he pulled a golden sword. " Sky Incineration Sword- First stance- Cloud Incineration."

 Chapter 133: Shock!

    Chapter 133: Shock!

    The Sky Incineration sword zed as a phantom of a zing horse appeared behind Mo Yi. The mes on the horse and mes on the sword burned in rhythm. " NEIGHHH!" The horse neighed loudly as it made a stomp toward Yin Hongxu.

    " Haha, Brat, You are sure a genius who had awoke your n''s Primordial Spirit. Too bad, you are destined to die." Yin Hongxuughed as he blocked Mo Yi with a raise of his arm. The horse''s spirit dimmed as Mo Yi vomited a mouthful of blood. Nheless, he still executed Cloud Incineration sh. The Sky Incineration sword turned bright as he made arge sh.

    " Hmph, Let me show you what ''Power'' is." Yin Hongxu opened his palm as a ck ball condensed on it. Spiritual qi crackled around it as Mo Yi''s face turned pale. " Hahaha, Brat, I will torture you to death by my Ball of Dark Yin." Yin Hongxu let out a sinisterugh.

    " Yo-YOU CAN''T HARM HIM." Mo Yi suddenly looked back as he saw Liu Jie already got from the rubble. She was bleeding but still stood with help of her sword. " Liu Jie! ARE YOU MAD? LEAVE QUICKLY." Mo Yi couldn''t help but shout anxiously as he saw Liu Jie wasing to help him.

    " Liu? Someone from Liu n?" But since you are unwilling, I will send you along with him." Yin Hongxu sneered. He was about to throw the ck ball but a booming voice stopped him. " Since when a paltry elder of Demonic Sound Sect can act audaciously in my Firmament City?"

    Yin Hongxu''s brows raised as he looked at the middle aged man, suddenly appeared out of nowhere. " Heh, So you are Mo Shan? The genius disciple of Mo n from thest generation? Unfortunately, You have fallen to Primordial Spirit Realm." Yin Hongxu snickered. " Do you think I fear you? You are just a runaway from the Mo n. Do You think they wille here to help you?"

    " No, They won''t." Mo Shan shook his head. " Dad, I...I pulled you and Liu Mei in this trouble." Mo Yiughed bitterly. " The heck are you saying? You still haven''t defeated me." Liu Mei shouted. " And you! Since you know I am from Liu n, you still dare to kill me and him?"

    " Hmph, He might be the one who killed my son, MY ONLY SON! You think I will still let him off?" Yin Hongu raged. " Mo Yi, Don''t worry. This isn''t a trouble, rather, it''s an opportunity." Mo Shan smiled as he walked to Mo Yi. " Father..." Mo Yi''s body swayed as his eyes became misty. Suddenly, The Sky Incineration sword thrummed as it darted to Mo Shan.

    " Sky Incineration Sword, Personally forged by our third ancestor. Paired with the Sky Incineration Sword arts, It''s a dream weapon of a Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator." Mo Shan said. " No wonder, It''s a True grade weapon!" Yin Hongxu eximed as his eyes shed with greed. " Heh, It seems my luck is very good. Getting my hands on a True grade weapon." Yin Hongxuughed.

    " No, Let me corrected you. You will die under the True Grade weapon." Mo Shan added. " You? You think you can kill me?" Yin Hongxu snickered. " Mo Yi, Look at father and learn how to use this sword and our n''s Primordial Spirit." Mo Shan said seriously.

    Suddenly, his ordinary body erupted with Spiritual qi as it crashed on Yin Hongxu. Raising his sword, Mo Shan took a step. Yin Hongxu''s eyes went wide as he saw Mo Shan was standing on mid-air! He was floating. Yin Hongxu stammered as he spoke with disbelief, " Yo-You have recovered your cultivation?!!!

    But he quickly recovered hisposure, " Hmph, So what? I can still defeat you." Yin Hongxu''s eyes became serious as ck colored qi emerged from his back and made the shape of a ck skull, the same Primordial Spirit as Yin Luo. But it looked more ancient and terrifying than Yin Luo''s.

    " Drak Skull: March of Evil Spirits." Yin Luo roared as a ck cane appeared in his hand. The cane lighted with ghastly green mes as suddenly the atmosphere around them became dark. One by one, hundreds of ck phantoms appeared as they screeched like hungry ghosts. " Mo Shan, today, Your blood and flesh will feed my soldiers. Charge! My evil spirits!"

    " Hahahaha." Mo Shan let out a burst of ridiculingughter. " A new Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator, who haven''t even merged with its Primordial Spirit, dares to show it before me!" " Mo Yi. Look! This is how you should execute Cloud Incineration sh." Mo Shan held the sword as his eyes became firm. The space around him distorted as the pure golden me zed around him. A giant horse, bathing in me appeared behind him. It was white as milk, with two sparkling eyes that could intimidate anyone. me zed on it, like shiny hairs, and a silver horn on its forehead.

    " Imperial Grade Primordial Spirit, Crimson ze Stallion!" Yin Hongxu faltered. " Evil spirits, Get purified, Cloud Incineration sh!" Mo Shan roared as he made a vertical sword sh. Suddenly, The Sky Incineration Sword turned bright like the sun. A sky epassing vertical ray shed toward Yin Hongxu. With the intensity of light, the evil spirits screamed as they got reduced to smoke.

    " Block!" Yin Hongu hurriedly shouted as he used his ck skull as a shield. Unfortunately, It was the same as using paper to store fire. The radiant sword sh cut through the skull like tofu. " ARRGHH!" Yin Hongxu screamed as he fell down. He vomited a mouthful of blood as his face turned ghastly pale. " Y-You have destroyed my primordial spirit!" He let out an agonizing scream.

    " So What? Do you think I am still the cripple from before? Do you think the Mo n really exiled me to here? Do you think I fear the Demonic Sound Sect? Old Fogey, If My old man were to know that your son was trying to infiltrate in our ancestral ground, He would really go to Demonic Sound Sect for an exnation." Mo Shan snorted. " Now fuck off from here, Else Only your corpse will leave Firmament City." Mo Shan''s tone turned cold. " Mo Shan, I will have my revenge!" Yin Hongxu spat viciously as he turned around and darted away.

    " Child, I let you suffer." Mo Shan sighed as he picked up Liu Mei and Mo Yi and went to Mo Family estate.

    ...............................................

    " My grandfather became very angry with the matter of the Demonic Sound Sect. He hurriedly sent two Body Rejuvenation pills for me and Liu Mei. It was a grade four pill, so our wounds healed instantly. Nheless, I broke through to the Seventh stage of Primordial Spirit Realm." Mo Yi finished recounting the events. " What was the response from Demonic Sound Sect?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Well, My grandfather and sect elder discussed for a while and call off the matter. Since Yin Luo dared to use Mo Feng to invade our ancestral ground, It was a grave matter. So, The sect didn''t pursue the matter, as he was deserving death." Mo Yi snorted.

    " Anyway, Everything is fine now. Since you have returned, you must have to stay here for few days. I want to know what were you doing in the past month." Mo Yiughed. " Sure." Yang Shi smiled as they went inside.

 Chapter 134: Coming Back

    Chapter 134: Coming Back

    Yang Shi and Mo Yi went inside and saw Liu Mei was lying on the bed, whereas Bai Ruxue sat beside her, peeling fruits for Liu Mei. " Sorry, Siter Ruxue, I am giving you so much trouble." Liu Mei said with an apologetic tone. " Sister Mei, How can you say that? How can be this called inconvenience? Didn''t you also apany me to spar, cooking, and shopping? Since we are not feeling well, I am ought to help you." Bai Ruxue smiled.

    " Aiii, Sister Ruxue, you are too immersed with her and failed to notice who came here today." Mo Yi sighed as he entered the room. " Young Master Mo!" Bai Ruxue eximed. " Scoundrel, Were you eavesdropping on us sisters?" Liu Mei snorted. " Heng, Why would I?" Mo Yi scowled. I just came to say that Brother Yang has returned." " Really?!" Bothdies eximed. Especially Bai Ruxue, whose eyes turned moist.

    " I am really sorry, Sister Jie. Because of we two scoundrels, you suffered." Yang Shi suddenly appeared as he slightly bowed. " No, No, Brother Yang. It''s just bad luck." Liu Jie smiled. " Young Master..." Bai Ruxue muttered softly. She barely held her urge to run and hug Yang Shi. " Brother Yang, But I am disappointed with you." Mo Yi chuckled. " Why is that?" Yang Shi asked in surprise.

    " Well, You didn''t tell me that you have be a Master grade cksmith." Mo Yi pouted. " Hey, Can you not pout?" Yang Shi''s face twitched. " Well, I thought you are actually an alchemist, but why would you choose the cksmithing profession?" Mo Yi asked in confusion. " If I hadn''t got the forging table of your ancestors, I might be an alchemist." Yang Shi smiled. " Haha, It was a win-win situation. I got the Sky Incineration Sword and you got the Forging table." Mo Yiughed.

    Yang Shi looked at Bai Ruxue as he was thinking what to say. Suddenly, He activated his Celestial View as he seized up Bai Ruxue. " Hmm?" Yang Shi''s expression became pleasant as he saw a bright jade colored aura around her. Although she is only at the peak of the Spiritual Ascension realm, adding her Spirit grade weapon, she can defeat an ordinary First stage Primordial Spirit Realm expert.

    " She already reached the bottleneck of the secondyer of the Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art. Her Pure Yin Maiden Physique already starting to change into Nine Yin Heavenly Physique. I can see her Primal Yin Qi is getting purer and purer. This isn''t a good thing. She will need a pure Yang force to bnce it. Hehe, guess I have to show my Yang power. It seems I need to spend some time with her." Yang Shi already harbored some evil ideas in his mind.

    " Well, Brother Yang, I have to inform you something." Mo Yi suddenly said. " What is it?" Yang Shi asked. " Errm, Let''s go outside." Mo Yi didn''t as he pointed outside. " What''s the matter?" Yang Shi asked in suspicion. " I remembered the task you gave me a month ago. Indeed, many people are spying on Sister Ruxue." Mo Yi said with a low voice. " We caught five of them. Although it appeared like they are just thugs of some local gangs, There is a subtle connection between them and the upper echelon. I can feel it was none other than the second Prince." Mo Yi snickered.

    " I see. I guess, I can''t just hide forever. I need a permanent solution for this." Yang Shi thought inwardly. " Thank you, Brother Mo. I know what to do now." Yang Shi smiled. " Oh, I forgot one thing. Do you know about the big auction of the Hundred Gold Pavilion of the capital? I have an invitation card, so you cane along with me." Mo Yi suggested. " Haha, I already have one. Thanks for asking." Yang Shi showed him the ck colored card. " Then we can travel together. We will leave in two days." Mo Yi said. " Two days? Its enough for me." Yang Shi nodded after some thinking.

    " Ah! My Bad, You came home after so long yet I dragged you away from Sister Ruxue. Hehe, You guys should spend some private time. You guys can...Hehe." Mo Yi winked at Yang Shi. " Well, We can also go to Hundred Flower Pavilion for some enjoyment." Mo Yi added. " Aren''t you afraid Sister Liu Jie might break your three legs?" Yang Shi chuckled. " Heng, What kind of man am I? If I fear my own women?" Mo Yi scowled. " Heh, Say that after you defeat her." Yang Shiughed. " Just wait, Tomorrow, She will prostrate before her fiance." Mo Yii dered.

    " Errm...Brother Mo, It seems I have to go." Yang Shi stammered as he took a few steps back, making a face of pity. " Eh? What happened?" Mo Yi was surprised as he suddenly felt a chill. " Prostrating before finance, eh?" A cold voice shook Mo Yi as he turned back. It was none other than Liu Jie. " Uhmm..." Unfortunately, Before he could exin, a punch from her sent him flying.

    " Uhh, I should go back to my room." Yang Shi briskly left. After taking a bath, he came out of the bathroom, only to saw Bai Ruxue sitting on the bed. They didn''t have time for a proper conversation till now. " Err, I kept you waiting." Yang Shi lowered his voice. " No, You were tired from such a long journey. You should take some rest." Bai Ruxue shook her head. " I will prepare for dinner." She was about to leave, Yang Shi grabbed her hand and pulled her back.

    " Hmm, How should Ipensate you,dy?" Yang Shi chuckled as he yed with her hairs. " I..." Bai Ruxue became a little flustered but she didn''t resist. In fact, she wanted something to happen. Yang Shi held her tightly as their lips locked. Bai Ruxue also became passionate as they kissed for a minute. " I missed you so much, Young Master. Every day, I feel lonely. I tried to focus on cultivating the technique you gave me, yet the yearning became stronger." Bai Ruxue whispered. " When cultivating, My body bes hot as my thoughts be chaotic. I...I feel very weird. Like, it''s urging me to do something."

    " Eh..." Yang Shi could guess vaguely what is the situation all about. In the cultivation world, There are countless cultivation arts that can change someone''s mere mortal physique to a special body constitution. Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art is a powerful cultivation art from the memory of Samsara Emperor. The specialty of this technique is that it''s purely meant for women. Using Yin energy as the foundation, it will refine their physique and make them powerful, along with some special perks.

    Although even a normal female cultivator can cultivate this technique, it will be much more effective, if it''s applied by someone with an innate Yin physique. Bai Ruxue''s Pure Yin Maiden Physique is a good example. Without Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art. Her physique is just a horrible curse for her, making her a cultivation cauldron for men. But with this cultivation technique, She can change her fate and turn her physique into Nine Yin Empyrean physique, making her a matchless powerhouse.

    But morphing Pure Yin Maiden Physique into Nine Yin Empyrean physique is quite difficult. Moreover, after reaching the secondyer of the Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art, The body bes more excited as their primal desires increase. Moreover, for the final step, they need a pure, Yetpatible Yang energy. Although Yang Shi knew most of the information, The memory of the Samsara Emperor was quite fragmented, so he might overlook some key information. He couldn''t help but frown. " I should just ask that old coot." Yang Shi thought.

 Chapter 135: Better Luck Next Time

    Chapter 135: Better Luck Next Time

    " Hey, old man, rify the situation to me." Yang Shi recalled in his mind. " Why are you calling me old man? I never had such a son like you." Azy voice resounded in his heart. " Then what should I call an old monster who lived millions of years?" Yang Shi scoffed. " Call me Young Master, Or Your majesty, Oh, You can call me Exalted one." Samsara Emperor mused. Yang Shi''s mouth twitched, but he couldn''te up with an answer. " Anyway, You must want to know about the Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art? You indeed need some additional items for changing her physique."

    " Breaking down the Pure Yin Maiden Physique would be like releasing arge amount of Primal Yin qi in her body. It would be like high dosage of a powerful aphrodisiac, Making her crazy." Samsara Emperor coughed lightly. " Well, Isn''t the solution is that easy?" Yang Shi chuckled. " Hahaha, You don''t know what''s going to fall on you. You can try whatever you want." Samsara Emperorughed. " Huh? What do you mean? Hey! Don''t go! Damn!" Yang Shi''s face turned ck as he cursed Samsara Emperor.

    " Young Master, What happened? Why you look so serious" Bai Ruxue asked. " Ah, Nothing. I just remembered about an annoying fellow. Let''s not talk about him. Right, It''s already been evening. Do you know what couples do at this time?" Yang Shi whispered. Bai Ruxue''s face turned red. " Shameless..." She muttered. " How, Then how can I ask for your permission? Hmhm?" Yang Shi chuckled. " Do you even need permission?" Bai Ruxue said. " Why not? You are my woman, not my ve." Yang Shi said with affection, as he tightened his grip around her waist. " I..." Bai Ruxue blushed as happiness flooded in her heart. Although she already submitted her body and soul to Yang Shi, It was admirable that Yang Shi still asked for her consent.

    " Although he acts like a pervert sometimes, He never did anything without my permission. Why not..." Bai Ruxue mulled in her heart as she finally reached a decision. " Young Master, Since you wanted it, Ruxue won''t refuse." Bai Ruxue said softly. Yang Shi''s heart trembled as he heard Bai Ruxue. He wasn''t happy because they are going to do it tonight, But he was happy to know that Bai Ruxue finally epted him.

    " Uhmm..." Although Yang Shi sighed in relief, he instantly became nervous. He doesn''t have any experience regarding this! Yang Shi''s mind raced as he scrambled through Samsara Emperor''s memory. " Fuck, There is nothing! Wait, Does that mean Samsara Emperor was a virgin? Wait, That''s not my concern, Wh-What should I do now? Directly hop on her? No, Fuck, That would be barbaric." Yang Shi screamed in his mind.

    Minutes passed in silence as they both stood there awkwardly. " So, go on the bed?" Yang Shi asked nervously. " Pffftttt." Bai Ruxue suddenly burst withughter. " Hahahahahaha" Bai Ruxue sat on the bed as sheughed. " Hahaha, You dumbfuck, That was hrious." Samsara Emperorughed madly. Yang Shi was so embarrassed he wished to dig a hole and jump into it. " If you can''t help the fuck off." Yang Shi cursed in his mind. " Hmph, It''s not like you will able to even with my help." Samsara Emperor sneered.

    " Tsk, It seems you are enjoying. Let''s see if you canugh after this." Yang Shi cackled as he pressed Bai Ruxue on bed as he fiercely kissed her. He held her tightly as he began to unclothing her. He could see her smooth neckline as two, round white rabbits, wrapped tightly by a pink bra. Bai Ruxue also helped Yang Shi to take off his robe. As Yang Shi was going to take another step, A knock sounded on the door.

    " Young Noble Yang, Young Master Mo wants to know if you will join dinner with him?" A servant spoke from outside. " WHAT THE..." Yang Shi became speechless as they hurriedly stopped what they were doing. " The fuck! It''s so early. Where did this servent drop from?" Yang Shi depressed as he said loudly, " Tell him, I am doing some important work." Bai Ruxue couldn''t help butugh again. Young Master is so shameless.

    " Phew, Don''t worry about that. Let''s continue." Yang Shi smiled awkwardly. " En." Bai Ruxue nodded. Not even three breaths of time passed, another knock came. " I told you I am busy!" Yang Shi yelled angrily. " Padon me,Yo-Young Noble, There is another issue." It was another servant this time. " What is it?" Yang Shi got up and went to the door. Since he didn''t allowed it, The servant naturally didn''t open the door. " Young Noble, A littledy came and said she is your cousin. Her name was Jin Yu. She wanted to enter the mansion, but we stopped her. Th-Then she suddenly disappeared." The servant said.

    " Crap! How can I forgot about her?" Yang Shi finally remembered that he has left her at city gates. " I just hope she doesn''t blow this ce up. Even Uncle Mo Shan might not able to face her." Yang Shi was very vexed. Everything was happening like a chain reaction. " Just don''t stop when shees next time." Yang Shi could only answer like that. Anyway, she would have bored if she went back to the golden egg, so it''s better that she explore the city. " Hah, Those big bad uncles need to be careful, otherwise, Hehe..." Yang Shi couldn''t help but snicker. But the situation made him a little restless as Jin Yu might return anytime. " Fuck, Why do I feel heaven is obstructing me?" Yang Shi muttered.

    One time maybe coincidence, two times is just a bigger coincidence. Yang Shi thought as he tried to lighten up his mood. " Haha, Young Master, It seems you are quite busy today. Why not..." Bai Ruxue teased. " No, I am free now." Yang Shi replied back. As he was going to say something, he felt vibration with his Spiritual qi. " What''s now?" Yang Shi was helpless. " Motherfucker! It''s the Blood Moon Hall." Yang Shi stood up with rage.

    " All of you hellbent to stop me today?" Yang Shi cursed. " Bahahaha. Told you." Samsara Emperorughed again. " No, Something isn''t right." Yang Shi finally understood. " Since you are here, please exin." Yang Shi scowled. " This is a type of lesson. You see, It''s all rted to fate." Samara Emperor smiled mysteriously. " You have forgotten many key things. Well, It''s more like haven''t told you. " Samsara Emperor chuckled. " First, The body constitutions are blessed with luck. The appearance of any of them changes the fateworks of heaven."

    " Presently, not only your action will lead to the birth of Nine Yin Empyrean Physique, But also your Immemorial Evil Yin Vein. So, Your luck isn''t sufficient yet." Samsara Emperor finished. " Karma is tied to everything, every single thing you are doing, even breathing. People thinks with enough power, they can break through fate and change karma, but it only leads to an unpredictable ending. It''s like you think you are the chess yer, but in reality, you are nothing more than a pawn on a bigger chessboard." Samsara Emperorughed.

    " Even with your power, you are saying that?" Yang Shi questioned. " Even with my power, I can''t say I am omnipotent. Bastard Heavens is still at good." Samsara Emperor sighed. " But, It''s none of your concern. Matter of fate and karma is just tooplex for you." " So, What should I do now?" Yang Shi asked.

    " First, Complete the Body Remolding Stage of Origin Chaos Internal Energy art. There is only thest stage, Wisdom Awakening Realm. As for how to finish it, I leave it to you. Secondly, Find a Dark Swamp Spirit Fruit. It grows in the region of cold and Yin energy. And thest thing, Do not try to fill the me Demon Seal or Gold Devil Seal of Primordial Feind Tyrant Body Technique.

    Chapter 136: Old Ghost''s reward

    Yang Shi''s mind was nk as he gazed through the window. The evening was deepening as the stars slowly appeared. He sighed as he uttered one word, " Fuck." " Young Master, What happened?" Bai Ruxue could see the change of mood of Yang Shi. " Nothing, It''s just some urgent work hase." Yang Shi said with a low voice. His face was quite conflicted, Bai Ruxue could see it. She hugged Yang Shi from behind, " Young Master, It''s maybe really an important task, You should go and see it."

    " Are you driving me away?" Yang Shi tsked. " Why would I? I will wait for you." Bai Ruxue leaned forward as she kissed on his cheek." Yang Shi could feel her hot breath, but firming his mind, He got up and dressed. " I will skin the Old Ghost if he doesn''t have any good reason to summon me." Yang Shi mumbled as he jumped out of the window and blended in darkness.

    " Young Master..." Bai Ruxue mumbled as she sighed in disappointment. She bit her fingers as she picked Yang Shi''s robe and inhaled its smell.

    Wearing a bronze demon mask, Yang Shi hurriedly went to the stronghold of Blood Moon Hall. He saw some familiar figures. " Yoh, Isn''t it''s Evil Shadow?" Someone called his name. Yang Shi saw it''s a middle aged man. His clothes were shabby as he held a wine gourd. " You are?" Although every one of them is an assassin, Yang Sho doesn''t know many of them. " You can call me, Forest Lurker." The middle aged man smiled. " Well, You have saved some members of our Blood Moon Hall and killed those Traceless Ghost Pavilion''s bastards. So, We all know about you." Heughed.

    " Haha, It''s their misfortune they met me, Even if one of them used a Swift Movement Talisman, I still killed him." Yang Shiughed as he boasted a little. " Where is Old Ghost?" Yang Shi asked. " He? He is in that room. He expected you will ask about him. He is waiting for you." Forest Lurker nodded. Yang Shi saw a crimson door, with a crescent moon insignia on it. Yang Shi went and opened it. It was a narrow and dark pathway, like a damp cave. After some time, he saw the exit.

    His eyes went wide as he saw something amazing. Initially, he thought it would be a dark and gloomy room, but he never imagined he actually traveled to a whole another ce. It was arge courtyard, with lush green woods and a pond. A huge white mansion in front of him. The moon has already risen, shining its light on the vegetation. " The heck, Where am I?" Yang Shi frowned as he went to the mansion. " Well, You are always on time." Old Ghost walked out as he greeted Yang Shi.

    " What''s the matter?" Yang Shi didn''t dy as he asked immediately. " Why are you getting impatient?" Old Ghostughed. " Oi, I just came here running, abandoning my important task. Old man, I will break your legs if you called me for something insignificant." Yang Shi raged. " Hey, hey, Calm down. Let''s talk inside." Old Ghost turned around as he entered the manor. Yang Shi followed him in. It was a luxurious manor, with brightnterns illuminating the interior.

    Old Ghost sat on a chair and indicated Yang Shi to sit in front of him. Yang Shi sat leisurely as he looked at Old Ghost. " Tea?" Old Ghost asked. " Although I would prefer wine, but tea is fine." Yang Shi said. " Good, I have prepared some Cloudmist Tea. Let''s enjoy it." Old Ghost smiled, and with a snapping of his fingers, a table with teacups appeared. Yang Shi wasn''t too surprised about this. After all, Old Ghost is an Origin Core Realm expert.

    The tea was slightly blue in color, with mist rising on it. Yang Shi picked it as he sipped slowly. He felt all of his worries and anxiousness drifted away as his mind became calm and peaceful. " Great tea!" Yang Shi eximed. " Of course, This isn''t something money couldn''t buy." Old Ghost said. " And look! I am drinking it." Yang Shi added. Old Ghost''s face turned stiffed as he gave a chuckle. " Whatever you think. I called you for your merits for saving White Fangs and killing Traceless Ghost Pavilion''s assassins." Old Ghost said.

    " Honestly, Even if I wasn''t there, Your ck-clothed apprentice could have handled the issue." Yang Shi said. " Although he could have, White Fang and all would have died till then. And by no means, We could have killed Red Li." Old Ghost said. " It seems you guys are deeply embroiled in royal politics." Yang Shi scoffed. " Hmm, You have guessed quite a bit. But you are wrong in there. We are merely watchers, not die-hard supporters." Old Ghost said. "It''s more like you are influencing the events, like the battle between puppeteers." Yang Shiughed. " You can say so." Old Ghost didn''t deny. White Fang''s original name was Lu Xiao, Who was the steward of First Prince. Moreover, He is a powerful cultivator, nurtured by the Royal n. On the other hand, Traceless Ghost Pavilion is from the Second Prince faction.

    " I don''t care what you guys are doing. I will never enter this shit." Yang Shi said firmly, " Well, Time will tell that." Old Ghostughed, receiving a re from Yang Shi. " Anyway, Since you have done so much, Your rank will rise to the Gold level." Old Ghost informed him. " And what benefits it brings?" Yang Shi asked in interest. " You can pry the information about the upper echelons, hidden things of history, or ancient legends. You know, knowledge is power."

    " Secondly, You can browse through some cultivation techniques or battle arts. You can pick even Mythical grade techniques." Old Ghost added. But Yang Shi didn''t show any sign of interest. After all, He had techniques that can be considered as techniques of Gods and Immortals. He was more interested in history, as he was seeing some anomalies in the present time. With a thought, he suddenly said, " I want you to give me some pointers on Heaven Saber Seven Arts."

    " Oh, That''s an interesting request. How much you have learned of Seven styles?" Old Ghost asked in interest. " First two, I havepleted the mastery, about the third, I am still unable to execute it properly." Yang Shi vexed. " WHAT? You have mastered the first two stances and got a grasp of the third? It has roughly been two months." Old Ghost couldn''t help but get astonished. But he quickly hid his expression and said, " Attack me with your full force." Old Ghost suddenly disappeared and reappeared in the courtyard.

    " Alright." Yang Shi didn''t hesitate as he drew out his Heaven Cmity saber. Since Old Ghost is an Origin Core stage cultivator, Yang Shi didn''t hesitate to use his full power. He channeled the Metal qi from Gold Devil Seal to his saber. Yang Shi gathered all of his Spiritual qi and roared, " First move_ Gold Split!" The saber shone with a pale golden light as it zapped at Old Ghost. Yang Shi''s arm thrummed as the movement of the saber became unpredictable as it shed at Old Ghost from various directions.

    " Not bad." Old Ghost nodded as he stood there motionless. Yang Shi felt his sabernded on a cotton cushion as not even the clothes of Old Ghost became crumpled. " Well, That''s an Origin Core Stage cultivator." Yang Shi thought. " Indeed, The essence of the first move is sharpness.

    " I am surprised that you can cultivate Metal qi and control it to this extent, giving your saber sharpness to cut through gold and jades. One can use a single sh or multiple shes, it has no restriction. In fact, All basic saber movers can be fused with Gold Split." Old Ghost exined.

    " Now, Show me the second move" Old Ghost shouted.

 Chapter 137: Mastery of Sword and Saber

    Chapter 137: Mastery of Sword and Saber

    Yang Shi''s eyes shone as he digested the knowledge given by Old Ghost. " It seems he already touched the dao of Saber." Yang Shi thought inwardly. He took a step back as his purple eyes became fiery crimson, like crystal mes. " Appear!." Yang Shi roared as a phantom of a giant White Tiger appeared.

    " Hoho, Primordial Spirit of a White Tiger, One of the four cardinal divine beasts!" Old Ghost became surprised. " This domain is so interesting." He chuckled. " Tiger Descends from Mountain!" The White tiger behind Yang Shi gave a warcry as Yang Shi lept from the ground. Using his momentum, He shed his saber vertically. His saber thrummed as the air around it contorted. A faint shadow of a leaping tiger enveloped the saber.

    Old Ghost raised his palm as he grabbed the de, like grabbing a twig. Yang Shi felt his bones lurch as suddenly the movent of his saber stopped like an iron w grabbed a wooden sword. Yang Shinded on the ground as he tried to pull his saber. " Haven''t you enough?" Yang Shi asked angrily. " My bad, It''s an old habit." Old Ghostughed as he released his saber. " Tiger Descending From Mountain represents the ferociousness of the tiger. Like an angry beast, rip apart whoever stands in front of you, enter in a battle-crazed state, and massacre your enemies." Old Ghost said.

    " Your White Tiger primordial spirit greatly boosts your power in this move. And your saber, It''s a very powerful weapon. Is it True grade?" Old Ghost asked. " Well, It''s damaged and only at the Peak of Spirit Grade." Yang Shi chuckled. " Even it''s in a damaged state, it can be called as the king of spirit grade weapon. Moreover, I can feel an ancient aura on this." Old Ghost said. " Well, Let''s see the third move." Old Ghost said.

    Yang Shi nodded as the White Tiger spirit disappeared. But one could feel the power in Yang Shi''s body was still there. Moreover, it''s increasing. Yang Shi poured all of his energy into his saber, raised it, and made a simple vertical sh. But the saber''s trajectory missed as it couldn''tplete the move. Yang Shi''s arm trembled as he took few steps back. It was the bacsh from the iplete move. But due to his strong physical body, the damage was minimal.

    " Hmm, The third move- Mountain Cut. One sh to cut through the mountain. Here, You need both momentum and weight. Use unparalleled heaviness to cut the mightiest being. The first two moves are the basics. In this move, You have to channel your spiritual qi in a special meridian path. Three thighs, Sharpness, Speed, and Weight. When these threebine, it can produce a devastating effect." Old Ghost said. " Wow, the Third move has already touched the barrier of Intent." Yang Shiughed.

    " Oh, So already know about the concept of Intent. That saved lot of time. But to think you know so much, I wonder about your background." Old Ghost chuckled. " Same about you." Yang Shi shrugged. " It''s rare to see powerful cultivators living such shabby lives. Ah, You guys really hid yourself well." Yang Shi smacked his lips. Old Ghost grinned but didn''t say anything. " Well, I don''t see that person here?" Yang Shi wondered. " Why you want to see him?" Old Ghost asked. " Ah, Nothing. He saved me from a life-threatening injury fromst time. Mm, I wonder how I can return his favor?" Yang Shi said.

    " Hmph, No need for that. It''s just a small thing." a raspy voice interrupted Yang Shi. He saw the familiar ck-clothed man. But suddenly, He felt something was amiss, so he activated his Celestial View. " Hmm?!!! Wha-" Yang Shi''s eyes couldn''t help but get wide. Old Ghost looked at Yang Shi''s eyes, which were glimmering in a strange light. Old Ghost''s eyes turned strange as he looked back at the ck clothed person. He wore a strange neckless, which was starting to emit light.

    " You!!!" The ck-clothed person became startled as he saw his neckless. He suddenly jumped backward as he nocked his bow. Yang Shi''s smile became radiant as heughed, " Haha, No wonder, your physique is really weak. Shout I call you Brother or Miss?" " Heh, Let''s see if you can utter any words afterward." The ck-clothed person sneered an arrow condensed where he nocked his bow.

    *SWISH* With a whistling sound, The arrow shot toward Yang Shi. The ck clothed person''s arm didn''t stop as he shot arrows like a machine gun. " Oh really?" Yang Shi chuckled as his purple eyes became azure blue. His face became abnormally calm as he stared at the iing arrows. His Heaven Cmity was reced by a longsword, which gleamed under the moonlight.

    " Starlight Haze." Yang Shi said calmly as his sword blurred and streaked through the air.

    *DING DING DING DING* The arrows were blocked by the sword sh with intense shing. Yang Shi lowered his sword. However, the ck clothed person didn''t stop.*BZZZZZ* With a buzzing sound, bright lights condensed into three arrows. These three are brighter and longer than the previous ones. " WHOOOSH* The arrow disappeared the moment he released his fingers.

    Yang Shi''s eyes squinted as his spiritual qi rolled inside him. With a whistling sound, he vanished from his position and appeared few meters away. *SWISH* The bright arrows passed the moment Yang Shi vanished, but unable to hurt him, it again disappeared. Yang Shi''s figure was blurry as he was dashing through the courtyard, but arrows were able to catch up with his insane speed. It chased Yang Shi like living beings.

    " Hmph." Yang Shi scowled as he suddenly stopped as he leaped from the ground. The ck clothed person''s eyes gleamed as he pped his palms. The three arrows came from three directions, blocking Yang Shi''s path of retreat. But Yang Shi was calm, as he clenched his longsword and made a reverse sh. " Moonlight sh." He roared.

    *CRACK* With a snapping sound, The light arrows cleanly cut to half and dropped to the ground. Yang Shinded on the ground as he looked at the ck clothed person. He was still wearing a conical hat to hide his face. " Hmph, Don''t think you have won." The ck clothed person snorted. " No, I won''t. If you used a top grade Spirit bow with Spirit grade arrows and your Primordial Spirit, You could have easily crushed me." Yang Shi shook his head.

    The ck clothed person was stunned as he didn''t expect such an answer from Yang Shi. " Tch, At least you are sensible." He scoffed as he turned around to leave. " Hey, Miss, Don''t worry. I will give you a good bow." Yang Shiughed. The person halted but left hastily. " What a beautiful girl." Yang Shi smacked his lips. " Hey old man, Is she your granddaughter?" Yang Shi asked the Old Ghost. " What do you think?" Old Ghost grinned. " Well, It seems she is not." Yang Shi shrugged. " Her identity isn''t something you can imagine." Old Ghostughed.

    " I can see your sword technique has increased. I never saw a person who wields both sword and saber. But, Its your decision, So, I can''t say anything. Anyway, I want to tell you that, The second prince has sent someone to Firmament City." Old Ghost chuckled. " Oh really?" Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as a dangerous glint sh in them. " Don''t worry, You will meet that person soon." Old Ghost said as he patted on Yang Shi''s shoulder.

 Chapter 138: Search of Dark swamp spirit fruit

    Chapter 138: Search of Dark swamp spirit fruit

    " Your strength is still not enough. You have to know that the genius of this generation has almost reached the boundary of the Violet Pce Expansion realm. In fact, Some of them already became Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators." Old Ghost borated.

    " The Princes included?" Yang Shi raised his brow. " Of course, They are the Prince after all. The Royal n spends rivers of resources for them, Moreover, their talents are very promising. Not just them, The Seed Disciples of Four Great ns and Four Sects has their own reputation. More than half of them had reached Ninth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, Just a step away from Violet Pce Expansion Realm."

    " It seems things aren''t boring as it seems." Yang Shi smacked his lips. " But well, I still don''t need to charge like a bull and challenge every one of them to fight with me, right?" Yang Shiughed with a tinge of shamelessness. " You..." Old Ghost was speechless. " Chaotic, This youth''s thoughts are too chaotic." He sighed inwardly. Is it not what powerful cultivators do? Do you have even some pride?

    " Since you have be our Gold rank assassin, Another benefit you will get is, Special training and better resources." Old Ghosts slowly said. Yang Shi''s ears perked up as he became interested. For current him, He just needs a better cultivation environment and hard training. " What is the training is special at?" Yang Shi asked. " To train the deadliest assassins." Old Ghost smirked. " I will see it in the future. I have to leave now." Yang Shi thought something as he turned to leave hastily, but suddenly stopped and asked back," Hey! Do you know a good Poison master? I mean, You know, The best poison."

    " Poison? Although I know someone, Why do you want poison?" Old Ghost was confused. " Hehe, Just for a little safety." Yang Shiughed. He turned around and left." This kid, Isn''t simple." Old Ghost sighed. " Grandfather, That brat is just too nosy. If weren''t for you, I would have broken his legs today." The ck-clothed person came back as he took his hat. A beautiful face emerged from it, Like a fairy from the celestial pce. With pale moonlight illuminating her face, one can just be bewitched by her appearance.

    " Hmm, You should understand. This domain is filled with hidden dragons and crouching tigers. We have been here for a year, and look, How many geniuses are hidden here. Although resources arecking severely than our ce, it was the ancientnds of Emperors. There are many hidden abodes and secrets realms, albeit they were undiscovered." Old Ghost exined. " Anyway, Grandfather, I have got some clue about the fragment." The ck clothed girl muttered slowly. "Oh?" Old Ghost raised his brows.

    " There are two ces, where we can find it. First, at the Dao Instruction Institute''s sacred ground. The second one is Mysterious Spirit Realm." The girl said. Old Ghost frowned. " It was in Dao Instruction Institute''s sacred ground, The chances of infiltration decreases a lot. It was in Mysterious Spirit Realm, Finding it would be hard in a vast ce, like searching for needles in the haystack."

    " But I think we should find it in Mysterious Spirit Realm. There is only a year to the opening. Not to mention, Our enemies might alsoe." The girl snorted. " Hmm, I guess, I need to rope that kid." Old Ghost said. " Maybe, he can give us some nice surprise." " Dan, every time I see, I wanted to punch him." The girl scoffed. " Well, He has already seen your face, so, you don''t need to hide anymore." Old Ghost sighed. " His eye technique is very impressive, to able to cancel the effect of your Concealing stone." He chuckled.

    Yang Shi was running here and there, not knowing where he was. " Fuck, I never came to this part of city." Yang Shi was confused. All he could see are tall and luxurious buildings. " I think this the aristocratic area." Yang Shi thought. He was thinking about going to Golden Fire Tower. ording to Samsara Emperor, He needs to umte a certain amount of luck, to help Bai Ruxue.

    Luck is an illusory thing, but it influences a person''s life greatly. For example, If a person had good luck, they might fell from the highest mountain, but they might find a heaven defying cultivation manual after their misfortune. On the other hand, with bad luck, one might just slip over a banana peel but die due to getting hit by some weird and dangerous thing on the ground. Chances like these are rare, yet sometimes it happens as a coincidence.

    The best way to gather some luck, is, of course, to do good things and umte good karma. But it''s only for beginner cultivators, who aren''t under the watch of heavenlyws. " Ugh, It has been more than a month since I went to Golden Fire Tower. Those old geezers might eat me whole. I still have monthly missions unfulfilled. But well, I have a shit load of Spirit Grade weapons. So, I will just give it to them." Yang Shi thought.

    For Golden Fire Towers, certified cksmiths and Alchemists had to do some monthly tasks. Most of them are from various cultivators and small powerhouses. It gives them merit points, which can be used to exchange for various resources in Golden Fire Tower. Golden Fire Tower control most Alchemists and cksmiths of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. Every big and small kingdom has a Golden Fire Tower, So it''s true power is immeasurable.

    But most of cksmiths and Alchemist uses Golden Fire Tower as a certification center. They leave after getting their badge. They just join more powerful ns or sects. After all, Who wants to bottle up in one ce. So, only a few people choose to stay there as elders. Yang Shi also had the same idea, but then, He thought its the best ce to carry his n. " I will go there and ept missions. Then along with building my reputation, I can earn good karma." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    " Hmm, maybe I can get the Dark Swamp Spirit Fruit." Yang Shi muttered. He isn''t going back to Eastern Mountain to find another herb. He has to leave for the capital in two days. After some time, Yang Shi finally reached the majestic golden tower. Although it was night, The bustling is still there. As he were to enter the inner area, The guards halted him, but after showing his badge, They let him go. { Author: What? You expecting some guard face pping scene?}

    " Master cksmith Yang Shi reporting." Yang Shi went to the mission table. " Oh, You actually came back?" Suddenly, Elder Lin emerged from nowhere. Yang Shi was startled, " Was I not supposed toe?" Heughed. " Not really, But I thought some powerful n or sect might have roped you in." Elder Lin smiled. " Well, I am low key enough not to get noticed by them." Yang Shi smiled wryly.

    " So, Why you are here?" Elder Lin asked. Yang Shi took out the catalog and recited, " There are 23 orders this month. 15 of them are low-rank Spirit Grade weapons, 6 mid grade, and 2 high grade weapons. Here, I want to submit weapon for all." Yang Shi waved his hands as piles of weapons fell on the floor. " Are you sure it''s not stolen weapons?" Elder Lin asked. " You can check. Each of them is crafted by my personal Spirit me. These are all brand new, unused weapons." Yang Shi exined.

    " Good, Very good. You will receive 500 merit points and a million gold coins." Elder Lin nodded. " What? A million?" Yang Shi was astonished. " Yes, You have single handedly cleared this months orders, so after ourmission, you will receive an appropriate amount. Moreover, Its not that we arecking gold, though we earn less than Alchemists." Elder Lin chuckled.

    One had to know that Cultivation pills are more demanded in quantity than Spirit weapons. Pills are one time use items, whereas Spirit grade treasures can use for years and years. So most people buy only one or two weapons in their lives where they bought many pills in a week. Even if their weapons are damaged, at most they wille here to repair it, not to buy a new one. Nheless, cksmiths has the same reputation as Alchemists and Runemasters.

    " You have a good amount of merit points, so you can exchange for any stuff you like." Elder Lin said. Yang Shi nodded as he went to the treasure hall, where one can get resources. He saw a short old man sitting on the chair. " Elder, I would like to know if there is a Dark Swamp Spirit Fruit here?" Yang Shi cupped his fist. The old man raised his brows, " So, You are young master cksmith. Dark Swamp Spirit Fruit? No, Currently, We don''t have any." He informed.

    Yang Shi''s face turned weird. First it was Soul Calming Grass, Then Dark Swamp Spirit Fruit. " Do we even have a herb garden, or it''s all just rumors?" Yang Shi muttered. " Kid, Some medicinal herbs are just rare, while some are monopolized by sects and ns. Take Dark Swamp Spirit Fruit as an example. It grows in a dark environment, with an abundance of Yin qi and Dark qi. So, Demonic Sound Pce is the one that controls such types of spirit herbs."

    " Even we want to grow it up here, It just too time taking." The old man shrugged. Yang Shi smiled helplessly. " Oh, since you have so many merit points, you can visit our library and find suitable Fire controlling arts or historical records." He added.

    " Alright." Yang Shi nodded as he took his gold coins and turn around. " Wait a minute! Demonic Sound Pce!" Yang Shi suddenly remembered that he saw a specialmission from a disciple of Demonic Sound Pce. " I have to go to mission hall to check." He walked hurriedly to the mission hall.

 Chapter 139: A Demonic Halberd

    Chapter 139: A Demonic Halberd

    " Elder, Can you show me the special request from Demonic Sound Sect?" Yang Shi inquired at the mission desk. The person there nodded and handed Yang Shi a jade slip. Yang Shi took it and began to read carefully. His eyes became surprised after he looked at the order. The disciple of Demonic Sound Sect requested two treasures. First, A Halberd, with two crescent des on both sides, and a short but wide de on the tip.

    It must be at the peak stage of Spirit grade or Quasi True grade. Quasi True grade weapons are like Yang Shi''s longsword. With appropriate rules and metals, it will be a weapon that can form its own intelligence. And the additional requirement for this weapon is, It must be able to resonate with Yin and Demonic energy.

    The second item was a light weight armor. Its requirement is also at the Top Spirit grade treasure. The total reward for making these two is three million gold coins and a Sky Enchanting Pill. Yang Shi rubbed his chin as he thought about it. "Demonic Sound Sect. That disciple must be an Inner Disciple. But no way he will able to afford such riches. " Wait, Could it be a Core disciple is trying to buy this? If its the matter, then there is no surprise." Yang Shi thought.

    Core disciples are the chosen ones of a sect. But one should not be confused about why they try to buy treasures from outside and not from their sect. The internal fighting in the sect is very fierce, and most of them like to hide their trump cards. They would hide their weapons and techniques till thest moment, only to give a deadly surprise to their opponents. " Wow, To give such specifications, that person must be amazing." Yang Shi tapped his fingers on the table, " Elder, Can you contact him? If yes, then please call him tomorrow to meet me. I will take this task." Yang Shi said.

    " Are you able to do it? It''s from Demonic Sound Sect." The Elder said, but seeing Yang Shi confident he nodded, " Fine, I will call him in the evening tomorrow." Yang Shi nodded as he walked back. But after some thought, he went to the library of Golden Fire Tower. There are quite some people reading scrolls. Although it looked like no one is guarding here, the runes inscribed on the walls and pir showed that there is a powerful formation here. A little mistake one the formation will kill him.

    " Spiraling me Arts, Hundred Fire Blooming Technique, Three Styles of cksmithing by Xie Lu, Introductions of Herbs and Pills." Yang Shi browsed through the basic sections of the library. These books are almost free to read because they are for beginners. Yang Shi was amused to find some of the books havepletely twisted the basics, making it harder to learn. " Hah, Even here, The education is still fucked up." Yang Shi shook his head. If one doesn''t grasp the basics well, one can''t go much further. It''s like you want to cook, but don''t know how to use a lighter.

    The library has three floors. Yang Shi went to the second floor. He saw a book, " Spirit Grade Diagrams: Techniques and History." Yang Shi''s brows raised. It was a thick book, borating about the different structures of diagrams on Spirit Grade Weapons. With different diagrams, the effects on the weapon will be much different. Yang Shi saw various types of diagrams, which can carry many unique types of energies.

    After reading for a while Yang Shi felt his mind stir, as a vast amount of information suddenly poured in his mind. Rather than saying it appeared, it''s more like unlocked. Yang Shi guessed it''s the part of Samsara Emperor''s memory which he didn''t digest before. Yang Shi checked it and found it was the advanced version of cksmithing knowledge. " So reading the corresponding knowledge, I can unlock the fragments of his memory." It''s like looking at a race car and you suddenly remember that you are a world famous racer.

    But suddenly he frowned as he flipped through the pages. His eyes squinted as he read through the texts. " No wonder." Yang Shi muttered. ording to the norms of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom, Having Nine spirit diagrams on a Spirit Grade weapon is the pinnacle. But the book states that a Spirit weapon can have nine more diagrams. Firstly, To make a Spirit Grade weapon to ascend to True grade, The requirements are, At least Nine spirit diagrams, then inscribing the corresponding runes on them and using special metals, it can be reforged into a True grade weapon.

    But the thing is, The power of the True grade weapon will be very normal if it''s made from a Spirit weapon having nine spirit diagrams, whereas, if a Spirit grade weapon had Eighteen diagrams, Even without advancing to the True grade, It can sh with low rank True grade weapons with ease. Yang Shi also remembered that he saw such a difference when he sold the Yin Nourishing Pill recipe to the Hundred Flower Pce. It was a normal pill recipe in Samsara Emperor''s memory, but it sought highly here.

    At the end of the book, Yang Shi saw something amazing. " Thirty thousand years ago, A great upheaval happened in heaven and earth, which shook myriads of realms. With the appearance of the path of reincarnation, chaos exploded everywhere. And due to changes of heavenlyws, the spirituality of the atmosphere lessened, and sensing the heavenlyws became difficult. During that time, many techniques were lost in the rives of time, pushing back the progress in both cultivation and supplementary paths. Later on, cultivation path fully restored while the supplementary path''s knowledge still remains damaged."

    " No wonder, so a part of history is cked out. Hmm, this is quite an opportunity for me." Yang Shi rubbed his palms as he already started to make ideas about fishing in the troubled times. He knew many methods to draw more than nine spirit diagrams on a Spirit grade weapon from the newly unlocked memory of Samsara Emperor, so he wanted to try it fast. He closed the book and hurried back to his allotted house in Golden Fire Tower.

    He took out his forging table and Sky Breaking hammer. He snapped his fingers as the me zed around his palms. It slowly took shape of a ming, crimson lily which burned with terrifying heat. Yang Shi threw it in the furnace as he started it. He took out a bunch of ores and metals and threw them into the furnace to melt it. Yang Shi controlled the heat of mes, to not to burn those precious ores. The ores melted and fused together, and made a colorful billet.

    Yang Shu pulled it out and used his hammer to make a shape of a halberd. Sonorous sound resounded as the metal billet slowly expanded and took shape of a halberd. After two hours, Yang Shi finally gave it the finishing shape. " Whew, Now it''s time to draw the diagrams." Yang Shi muttered. But this time, it would be much different than the normal diagrams. Yang Shi summoned his Azure Lotus primordial spirit. A pale blue light condensed in his fingertips as he used it to draw the Spirit diagrams.

    *SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH* His hands flowed like water as he was immersed in drawing the new spirit diagram. He felt a slight cold qi going through his fingers and making the Spirit diagrams. It was none other than the Yin qi of Azure Lotus spirit. He used Yin qi to make the special Spirit diagrams. After making nine diagrams, his body trembled a little. This spirit digram too much energy than an ordinary one, but Yang Shi is able to afford this.

    " Now, The tenth one." Yang Shi slowly breathed as his hand became much slower. Making more than nine diagrams not only means to draw another one, but to connect all previous ones and making bnce between them.

    Yang Shi made a quiteplicated structure, but with thest stroke, he sighed in relief. " Finally, Diagram of Lesser Yin flower is done." Yang Shi smiled. The weapon shone with a bright silver light with streaks of ck lines in it. Yang Shi nodded in satisfaction. " Now, That''s the thing. Let''s call you..."

 Chapter 140: Guests of Mo Clan

    Chapter 140: Guests of Mo n

    " Elder Chen, Are you telling the truth? Someone said that they could forge the two treasures??" A young man was astonished as he asked with an excited voice. " Is it Master Fang or Master Xiu?" He asked. They are the renowned cksmiths in the kingdom who can make Quasi True grade weapons. " Well, They are both out of Firmament City." Elder Chen smiled lightly. " Then who is it?" The young man asked.

    " It''s a new member, He recently became a Master grade cksmith." Elder Chen replied. " Oh? I heard a couple of people has be Master grade cksmith." The young man became doubtful. " You shouldn''t doubt him. After all, You know about the reputation of Golden Fire Tower. Bing a Master grade cksmith isn''t easy at all." Elder Chen chuckled. " But I feel he should be able to make it."

    " If Elder Chen is saying, Then no way I will doubt him." The young man hurriedly said. " He asked you to meet him tomorrow evening." Elder Chen said. " Alright." The young man nodded. " Young Master Jiang has been trying to forge that particr weapon for months, but there were no solutions back then. But now, Someone actually able to forge such halberd? I need to inform Young Master quickly. Hopefully, he cane till tomorrow evening." The young man thought for a while as he pulled out a yellow paper and ignited it. The burning paper soared in the sky like a rocket and dashed off to the distance.

    Yang Shi yed with the halberd. It was giving off a silver shine, but one could see ck lines like veins drawn over it. The lines converged at the central de, making an abstract shape of a flower. Yang Shi clutched it tightly as he made a forward thrust.

    *BOOM/ The halberd tore through the air ck lights swirled around it. Yang Shi pulled it back and made a full moon sh. Yang Shi made a few basic moves without using spiritual qi, and he was satisfied.

    " Hmm, It''s already par on what he asked to do, but I feel he omitted many things." Yang Shi frowned. It looked like there is much more information about this halberd. The person who asked to make this must have seen a blueprint or the actual weapon beforehand. " Was it supposed to be a prototype of an ancient weapon? Well, Once I meet him, I will only give it in exchange for Dark swamp spirit fruit." Yang Shi chuckled. He spent three hours on the Second Floor and read most of the tomes and scroll. He was able to identify their faults and mistakes in a single nce. " I wonder if I can get more money if rewrite the books and sell them?" Yang Shiughed inwardly.

    Yang Shi suddenly looked outside and saw the there is still darkness. " Well, I should rest." Yang Shi went on his bed and slept soundly. After few hours of sleep, he got up instantly. " Eh? Its morning already?" Yang Shi rubbed his eyes. It was still dawn. " Wait! Isn''t today is the day of the duel between Brother Mo and Sister Liu? I have to hurry up." Yang Shi got up and dressed. Then he left Golden Fire Tower and went to the Mo n manor.

    As he reached Mo n manor, his eyes squinted a little. " Eh? Silver Wing Falcons? Could it be some important member came here from far?" Yang Shi wondered. Silver Wing Falcons are Demonic Beasts that are used for transportation. But other than noble ns and Sects, no one able to able a demonic beasts. These falcons are very big and can carry three people with ease. In a day, It can travel till ten thousand li.

    Yang Shi entered the manor, and suddenly his expression became strange. He saw many unknown young men in the courtyard. He also saw Bao Ruxue, Liu Jie, and Mo Yi. " Sister Ruxue, Your sword technique is so beautiful. Can you spar with me?" The young man said with great enthusiasm. " Sorry, Young Master Kui, But my strength is far below you." Bai Ruxue refused politely. " Haha, Sister Ruxue, It''s fine. I hope we can discuss about sword techniques. Junior sister, Have you ever went to the capital? I feel your talent will be very useful there." The young man didn''t stop.

    " No, I am from a small town. I would really like to visit the capital." Bai Ruxue thought and said. It was indeed the truth as she would like to visit the capital. She heard from his father about the stories of capital, where experts are like clouds. Aftering to Firmament City, she realized that her town was nothing more than a small well. " Haha, Sister Ruxue, Don''t worry. You cane along with us. I am sure Brother Mo Yi won''t refuse?" The young man looked at Mo Yi. Mo Yi gave a ridiculing smile but quickly hid his expression, " I don''t know. I should ask Brother Yang."

    " Who is he? I don''t think Sister Ruxue needs his permission?" The young man frowned. There aren''t many who can match the beauty of Bai Ruxue even in the capital. Whenever he looked at her, he felt an indescribable sense of attraction. He became even more happy since Bai Ruxue never came to the capital. She is like a little vige girl who is easy to trick. As for this Brother Yang, He had heard the name for some time, but he didn''t feel anything. He might be just another country bumpkin. After all, the true geniuses are from capital.

    Yang Shi saw everything from afar. He couldn''t help but sneer. He has seen this expression many times. " Judging from their clothes, They are from the Main Mo n. Hehe, do they think I am easy to bully?" In Yang Shi''s eyes, that young man was nothing more than a clown prancing around. As he was standing near the main get, he suddenly got bumped from behind.

    " Hey! Why are standing in the middle of the way? Can''t you see me?" A yelling startled Yang Shi. " How can I see you? Do I have eyes on the back of my head?" Yang Shi frowned as he answered. " What? You dare to talk to me like that? Do you even know who am I?" The young man shouted back. " I don''t remember having a son like you?" Yang Shi scratched his head. " You-" The neer stammered as he pointed at Yang Shi.

    " Enough Mo Xi." Mo Yi shouted. " Haha, Brother Yang, I hope you won''t mind him." Mo Yiughed. " Ah, Second Young Master Mo." Mo Xi startled as he bowed slightly at Mo Yi. " It seems I am notte for the fight?" Yang Shiughed. " Haha, We are waiting for you. How can I not let my dear brother see me win?" Mo Yi chuckled. " Hmph, Talk after you defeat me." Liu Jie sneered.

    " Young Master Mo, Who is this young man?" The young man who talked with Bai Ruxue approached Mo Yi." Mo Xiang, He is Brother Yang Shi." Mo Yi gave a simple introduction and didn''t say much. Yang Shi instantly understood that Mo Yi has some evil ideas. " Let''s see what prank he wants to y." Heughed inwardly. " Ah, So you are Yang Shi." Mo Xiang''s eyes showed a bit of mockery as he raised his hands for a handshake. He grabbed Yang Shi''s palm as he secretly used Spiritual qi to squeeze it. But surprisingly, Yang Shi''s smile didn''t budge a bit.

    " Hmph, Let''s see how tough you are!" Mo Xiang was unwilling as he added more spiritual qi. " Ah! So you are brother Mo Xiang." Yang Shi''s smile became radiant as the sun, but looking at that, Mo Xiang suddenly felt a bad premonition. Yang Shi shook his hands lightly. Suddenly Mo Xiang''s body trembled. as his facial expression twitched violently. He felt he had kicked on an iron wall this time. " Haha, Brother Mo Xiang is indeed a promising cultivator with a tough physique." Yang Shi chuckled. Even till now, he was still smiling.

 Chapter 141: The Duel Begins!

    Chapter 141: The Duel Begins!

    " Ahaha, Brother Yang is ttering me." Mo Xiang''s face stiffened as he tried to pull back his arm. But Yang Shi''s palm was like an iron w, which didn''t let it go. " Hey? Will you guys going stand here forever? Let''s go inside." Liu Jie finally said. " Sure." Yang Shi released his palm as he entered. Mo Xiang retracted his arm like lightning as he caressed his palm. It was swollen as it turned purple. " Fuck, What was that?" He frowned as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " Young Master!" Bai Ruxue eximed as she saw Yang Shi. " Haha, Did you miss me?" Yang Shiughed as he pulled her by holding her waist. " Ah! What are you doing?!" Bai Ruxue blushed as she scowled in a low voice. " There are so many watching us." " So what?" Yang Shi chuckled. With his move, he showed everyone including Mo Xiang, " Fuckers! Bai Ruxue is mine!" Mo Xiang''s face turned ugly as he red at Yang Shi with anger in his heart. " Oi, Brother Yang, You are really a role model of youths." Mo Yi gave him a thumbs up.

    " Hmm, Brother Mo, I guess it''s the time." Yang Shi said. " Of course, Let''s go to the arena." Mo Yi nodded. Mo n mansion has its own arena, where the younger generation can spar. Mo Yu wore a white robe, with his Sky Incineration Sword on his back, he stood on the arena with a proud face. Liu Jie smiled as she also went up to the arena. She wore a purple dress, along with a flexible longsword which gave off a dim purple light. At some point, Mo Shan appeared as he stood back from the crowd.

    Yang Shi got up on the arena as he stood in the middle. " Ladies and gentlemen, Today is the day when Our Brave Brother Mo Yi and Beautiful Sister Liu Jie would engage in a duel. Are you excited about this battle?" Yang Shi raised his voice. " YESSS!!!" Everyone shouted back. " Alright! 3,2,1, FIGHT!" Yang Shi shouted as with a backflip, he came back to the ground.

    Mo Yi and Liu Jie roared as they released their Primordial Spirits at the same time. A Heavenly Horse wrapped in golden mes shed with the Purple Moon Beast. " Liu Jie, take my n''s special technique - ming Stallion Punch." Mo Yi roared as a faint image of the horse''s leg ovepped on his arms. He threw his punch like a cannonball. " Moon Shield, Block!" Liu Jie pped her palms as the Purple Moon Beast behind her created a light shield, which blocked the punch from Mo Yi. Nheless, it trembled violently after the impact.

    " Hmph, March of Beastwave, Thousand Horse stomp." Mo Yi''s arms became invisible as it threw numerable punches at the same time. It was like a Gatling gun. His palms were bent downwards as he punched in horse stance. " HONG HONG HONG HONG" The air boomed around him as he didn''t stop. Finally, He broke the shield of Liu Jie. " Heh, Falling Leaf stance." Liu Jieughed as her figure distorted. Mo Yi had thought that after breaking her shield, she will be vulnerable, but the moment her shield broke, her figure slowly dispersed. Mo Yi felt a sudden rm. He stomped his feet ad soared in the air.

    A flexible longsword stuck on the ground, where he was standing originally. " Damn, You cunning woman!" Mo Yi couldn''t help but curse in his mind, Thankfully, His intuition from his Primordial Spirit saved him. Liu Jie''s figure fluttered like falling leaves of autumn. It has no pattern. " Hmph, Competing with agility? It''s just that I have also learned a new technique." Mo Yiughed.

    " Rampaging Stallion Movement Art." The stallion behind Mo Yi neighed as he dashed at Liu Jie. In contrast to Liu Jie, who was moving like a falling leave, Mo Yi''s steps were forceful, as if crushing the ground under his feet. " Thousand Horse stomp." Mo Yi again used his special move. Liu Jie used her movement technique to dodge it, but Mo Yi suddenly grinned. " Fell for it." Mo Yi''s punch suddenly stopped midway as he raised his foot to kick at Liu Jie.

    *BOOM!* Liu Jie''s facial expression turned serious as she stopped moving and used her arms to block the kick. But his kick was fierce, Liu Jie got sted back. The audience hissed in reaction. Yang Shi shook his head as he smiled wryly. " Mo Yi will do anything to win. After all, It''s the battle of his dignity." Mo Yi''s movement technique wasn''t only focused on agility but also the explosiveness of legs. Like the hoofs of a stallion, his kicks can break any obstacle.

    " Hmph, It seems you have improved greatly fromst time. But if you are thinking that you are able to defeat me, then forget it. Limpid Water Split." Liu Jie took a few steps back as her flexible swordshed out. Her sword moved like a mountain stream, fast yet clear. " You are not the only one with the sword." Mo Yi harrumphed as he finally pulled out his Sky Incineration Sword. " Sword Barrage." He shouted. The sword moved fast and blocked the snake like the sword of Liu Jie.

    * DING DING DING DING* Crisp metallic sound filled the arena as their sword shed countless times. After every sh, their sword became more violent. At a point in time, Mo Yi began tough loudly. Strangely, Liu Jie also started tough. " Hahaha, Finally, You have grown some backbone." Liu Jie let out a satisfied smile. " Let''s determine victory in one move." They both shouted in a union.

    " Purple Shadow Phantom sh." Liu Jie shouted. Her purple moon beast seemed to be fused in her flexible sword. Suddenly, the arena filled with purple mist, and everything became hazy." Mo Yi became alert as he saw Liu Jie''s figure seemed to merge in the mist. " KATCH!" Suddenly, Mo Yi turned to sideway, but a shallow cut appeared on his left shoulder. Simrly, a cut appeared on his thigh. Mo Yi became flustered as he tried to block those attacks, yet the best he could do was to dodge.

    " If you are using mist to hide, then I will burn it. Sky Incineration Sword- Cloud Incineration sh" Mo Yi bellowed. His sword turned bright as his zing Stallion primordial spirit exploded with mes. The purple mist churned as it slowly began to burn. A crescent me de shot from his sword and charged in a particr direction. " Damn!" Suddenly, an anxious cry sounded from there. One could see the arena clearly as the purple mist got burned. *BOOM* With a loud sound, the ming sh finally hit Liu Jie, Breaking her Moon Shield. She got sted from the ground as she flew back. Looking at her, it seems her injury wasn''t light.

    " Shit!" Mo Yi''s expression changed as he stomped his foot on the ground and lept at Liu Jie. With his powerful stomp, he soared in the air and grabbed the falling Liu Jie andned on the ground, like a hero saving a beauty. " Marvelous!" Yang Shi couldn''t help but p loudly. Seeing him, Others began to apuse for their Young master. " Jie Jie, Are you ok?" Mo Yi asked worriedly. " Scoundrel. You won!" Although Liu Jie''s hair became a bit messy, her smile was enchanting. Holding her in his hand, Mo Yi''s expression became gentle and also a bit nervous. Out of sudden impulse, Mo Yi kissed Liu Kie on her lips.

    " Ah!" Suddenly, the entire bustling audience became silent. The audience''s faces turned red. The Elders of Mo n couldn''t help but cough violently. Some awkward coughs could be heard. Even Mo Shan''s face turned weird. Liu Jie''s mind turned nk by this sudden turn of events. She came back to her mind and pushed back Mo Yi. Mo Yi also came back to sense as he looked at the trembling Liu Jie. " Jie Jie, I....It wasn''t on purpose-" Before Mo Yi could finish his words, Liu Jie''s figure moved as it charged at Mo Yi.

    Mo Yi used his arms to block any attack, but to his surprise, Liu Jie hugged him tightly.

    " Husband..." She said softly in Mo Yi''s ears. Mo Yi felt his body jolted from lightning.

    " ...Ah..."

 Chapter 142: So you have chosen death!

    Chapter 142: So you have chosen death!

    The audience burst with cheers. Mo Shan couldn''t help butugh out loud. He suddenly appeared on the stage and pushed Mo Yi''s head downward. " Little Jie, Pardon my son for injuring you." It seemed that Mo Shan was berating Mo Yi, but one could see the happiness on his face. With a flick oh his hand, a grade two healing pill appeared. " Uncle Mo Shan, It''s just a spar. Besides, It''s not worthed to eat a healing pill." Liu Jie shook her head.

    " Sister Jie, Since I have defeated you, ording to our promise, You must listen to me. Now, hurry up and eat this healing pill." Mo Yi insisted. Liu Jie''s face blushed as she scoffed, " You can''t order me like that." Nheless, she still ate the pill. All the injuries slowly vanished. " Too bad, My flexible longsword got cracked." Li Jie muttered as she sighed. That longsword has apanied her for a few years. It was forged by an excellent cksmith and perfectly suited for her battle technique. It was a Middle tier Spirit Grade sword, so It couldn''t handle the attack of Sky Incineration Sword, A True grade weapon.

    " Haha, Sister in Law doesn''t need to be sad. I will forge another flexible sword for you. After all, Where would my cksmithing skill would go?" Yang Shiughed as he entered the stage. " Sister Jie, will you lend me your longsword? I will return it to you by this evening." " En! I am confident in Brother Yang''s ability." Liu Jie nodded as she gave her longsword to Yang Shi.

    " Haha, I was thinking when I would get a wedding buffet? Brother Mo, why don''t you say it?" Yang Shi teased Mo Yi. " Heh, I would rather eat in Brother Yang and Sister Ruxue''s wedding first." Mo Yi chuckled. Hearing him, Bai Ruxue blushed. Liu Jie couldn''t help but poke her. " Indeed, Sister Ruxue, What''s your opinion on this?" " I..." Bai Ruxue stuttered but couldn''t say anything. Mo Xiang''s eyes turned red. " Damn it! It''s all because of that brat!" He cursed Yang Shi in his mind. Previously, He thought thating from the main n, his standing here would be high. But after Mo Yi disying his cultivation and Primordial spirit, He began to feel afraid. " Damn it, He is just like his Elder Brother!" Mo Xiang gnashed his teeth.

    " Well, I can''t believe you are more thick-skinned than me?" Yang Shi snickered. " Heh, wanna try?" Mo Yi gave a smirk. They looked at each other and burst withughter. " Marvelous! I never thought that Brother Mo Yi''s strength would grow so much after staying away from the capital. You canpete with this generation''s young geniuses of capital." Mo Xiang suddenlye and praised Mo Yi. " Really? But I thought Mo n on Captial might have cultivated more than such genius cultivators over these years? And what about my Elder brother?"

    " This..." MoXiang''s face turned red. He was trying to fawn over Mo Yi, but he got rebuked instead. " Hahaha." Yang Shiughed without showing any restraint. Mo Xiang''s eyes shed with a fierce glint, but suddenly he smiled. " Ah, Brother Yang Shi, Since Brother Mo considers you as his brother, You must have some extraordinary origin, right?" He suddenly asked Yang Shi. Yang Shi suddenly frowned but replied humbly, " I have no great background. Brother Mo and I met just a few months ago." He shook his head. Mo Yi also frowned as he was going to say something, but he stopped himself.

    " Really? That''s too sad. But you shoulde with us to the capital. After all, You might not ever go to such a big city before, right?" Mo Xiangughed with a proud face. " Indeed, I never went to the capital of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. Going there will broaden my horizon." Yang Shi nodded. " Aiiz, But Brother Yang might face many difficulties there? After all, Experts are like clouds there. I wonder Brother Yang can cope with them?"

    " Why can''t I?" Yang Shi asked in confusion. He couldn''t understand what''s this fellow''s intention. " Oh, Brother Yang is surely confident. How about having a spar with me?" Mo Xiang finally revealed his n. Yang Shi''s eyebrows raised as finally understood everything. " Ah, You are trying to be the hot-blooded warrior in front of Bai Ruxue? It seems you have chosen death!" Yang Shi cackled in his heart. Concealing his emotions, Yang Shi feign ignorance, " Spar? Brother Mo Xiang, are you sure?" Mo Yi suddenly interjected. Liu Jie''s interest was also piqued. She had never seen Yang Shi''s battle prowess.

    " Why not? I believe Brother Yang must have sufficient strength. After all, Strength rules the world. And don''t worry, It''s just a friendly spar." Mo Xiang chuckled. " Since Brother Mo Xiang wants to spar, How can I refuse?" Yang Shi said. Mo Xiang was a Sixth Stage Primordial Spirit Realm, the Same stage as Yang Shi. " Well, I should try my Gold Devil body a bit." Yang Shi thought to use only his physical body''s Metal qi in the spar. Gold Devil body has given Yang Shi''s body both defense and offense, so Yang Shi was thinking if he could take down cultivator of the same realm with his brute strength alone.

    Other than Yang Shi and Mo Xiang, everyone backed down from the stage, Yang Shi stood thereposed, With an ancient saber on his back, without any sheath. Mo Xiang draw out his sword, and said, " Brother Yang, Draw your weapon." " I don''t think that''s necessary." Yang Shi chuckled. At that instant, his disposition changedpletely. " Heh, Don''t be too arrogant." Mo Xiang couldn''t help but snicker. A mere peasant dares to behave like this in front of him?

    " Bah, That Yang Shi is too arrogant. Does he know who is Brother Mo Xiang? Even in the capital, People recognize him for his strength."

    " Heh, Let''s see how fast he got beaten by Mo Xiang." The disciples of Mo n from Captial began to discuss among themselves. Mo Yi''s lips curved upwards. It''s been a while he saw Yang Shi making a move. " Heh, If thats'' your wish, allow me then." Mop Xiang''s face turned livid as he drew out his sword and charged at Yang Shi. " Stone Shattering sh" The sword crashed on Yang Shi with powerful momentum.

    Yang Shi chuckled just tilting his body, He avoided the first sh. " Heh." Mo Xiang didn''t get surprised as his direction of a sword suddenly changed. Looking at that, Yang Shi''s face was calm. He took another step back to dodge that second sh. " Heh, I can''t believe you can avoid all of my attacks." Mo Xiang roared. " Frenzied Thread sh." Mo Xiang''s sword turned faster." Yang Shi used his Starlight Burst to avoid his frenzy like sword attack.

    Like its name, the sword attack was pretty unpredictable and densely packed like threads. But Yang Shi''s movement was like a ghost, making the other party''s attack useless. " Coward! Do you only know how to dodge?" Mo Xiang couldn''t help but shout. " What? Why are you shouting at me if you are incapable to catch me?" Yang Shi retorted. " This..." Mo Xiang became speechless. Yes, Why should he confront me directly.

    " But If you continue to dodge like that, We can never spar correctly." Mo Xiang said. His excuse sounded reasonable. " Alright." Yang Shi nodded as he suddenly stopped. With a swing of his fist, small golden threads appeared on it. Mo Xiang finally got happy. " Here is my chance." Unfortunately, Before he could strike Yang Shi...

    *PENG* Yang Shi''s fist was like a bullet, directly struck the stomach of Mo Xiang.

    *BOOM*

 Chapter 143: Powerful physique and a simple trick

    Chapter 143: Powerful physique and a simple trick

    With a booming sound, Mo Xiang flew back like a broken kite and crashed on the wall. Silence spread through the arena. The disciples of Mo n looked at Yang Shi with eyes round as saucers. Who was Mo Xiang? He was a renowned genius of the Mo n of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. He had been groomed by the n with the best resources and cultivation techniques. How can a nobody like Yang Shi send him flying by a single punch?

    " Cough." Mo Xiang coughed heavily as he stood up from the rubble. His figure was disheveled, like a beggar on street. He spits out some blood as he looked at Yang Shi with malicious intent. Yang Shi stood arrogantly on the stage, smiling at Mo Xiang. " Fuck! Sky me Horse, Appear! Mo Xiang roared as a phantom of a horse with mes over it appeared behind him. It looked way different than Mo Yi''s Crimson ze Heavenly Stallion, Which almost reached Imperial Grade Primordial Spirit. Sky me horse was a Royal grade primordial spirit, which was the descendent of Crimson ze Heavenly Stallion as Mo Xiang''s bloodline isn''t pure as Mo Yi.

    Yang Shi was surprised that Mo Xiang only suffered some minor injuries. " It seems Gold Devil Body isn''t much power right now." He thought. But he still remains confident about defeating Mo Xiang without spiritual qi. With a thought, an Azure Blue Lotus bloomed behind Yang Shi as his purple eyes became slight azure. " Stamped of Hundred Horse." Mo Xiang shot like a rocket as he punched at Yang Shi. His arm became hazy as multiple shadows of the horse''s hoof appeared around it.

    " Bring it!" In Yang Shi''s eyes, The movement of Mo Yi became sluggish. He clenched his fist and countered every punch of Mo Xiang. *PENG PENG PENG PENG* They exchanged fists furiously. Yang Shi was very surprised that they were matched evenly. " Wonderful, The Primordial Spirit of Sky me Horse has boosted his power significantly. Not to mention his cultivation technique and battle artsplementing his Primordial Spirit." Yang Shi thought.

    " Purple Pine Sword Beam!" Mo Xiang finally used one of his trump cards. " Look, that''s bRother Mo Xiang''s famous, Purple Pine Sword Beam. It''s derived from Mo n''s famous Purple Rainbow Sword Technique, which was a Mythic grade Battle art." Many disciples whispered in themselves. Mo Xiang was wielding a pinnacle Middle tier Spirit grade weapon. So, His battle prowess boosted.

    Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed. He could feel the danger of Purple Pince Sword Beam. Mo Xiang''s sword turned bright as it began to shoot purple rays. But actually, It''s the sword moving that fast. " Damn, I can only dodge." Yang Shi thought as he chose to dodge that attack. Seemingly to find Yang Shi''s weakness, Mo Xiang increased his pace. " Damn, If it continued like that, We will be back in the equilibrium." Yang Shi mused. " Wait, Can I do that?" Yang Shi had a sudden inspiration.

    With a swing of his palm, he concentrated Metal qi and enveloped it around his palm, like a glove. " Yang energy,e forth." Yang Shi silently channeled his Yang energy from his Nine Saints Extreme Yang skeleton. His palm glowed with golden and white light. Using the back of his palm, Yang Shi''s arm blinked, deflecting the Purple sword rays. " WHAT!!!" Mo Xiang''s eyes went wide with horror. Even Mo Shan''s eyes shot up. The audience, who was cheering for Mo Xiang again became silent.

    " Ho-how is that possible?" Mo Yi muttered. Everyone knows that how sharp is the sword rays,ing out from a Middle-tier Spirit grade sword. Just how tough a physique can be, to able to stop it? " Father, How did he do it?" Mo Yi asked to Mo Shan. " Haha, I never thought that brat is cunning. Al he do was to pull a simple trick, but it''s very difficult to execute." Mo Shan smiled.

    " Did he really deflected the sword rays with his physique alone?" Mo Yi asked. " You can say that. He actually manipted Metal qi to cover him palm like a glove. Metal qi is true, Best for both offense and defense. But no matter what, That tiny bit of Metal qi can''t really block the sword rays." Mo Shan exined. " Then how did he do it?" Mo Yi raged, " Damn, can''t you exin in one shot?" " Brat, Can''t you have some patience?" Mo Shan''s eyes twitched.

    " So, What he did isn''t actually block the sword rays, but deflected it. He moved his arms so fast that, It didn''t have much contact time with the sword rays, but he had enough force and momentum to deflect them. Although it sounds easy, just a little mistake, he could have gotten severe injuries, despite having Metal qi protection." Mo Shan said. "Wow, Brother Yang is surely a mysterious person. He didn''t even use his saber." Mo Yi sighed.

    " Waah, Brother Yang is so amazing. No wonder he could change your cowardly personality." Liu Jieughed. " Wh-what did you say? Lass, You are getting more and more unruly, just wait How I will punish you in bed." Mo Ti whispered in her ears. " Damn, You are getting more of a hooligan." Liu Jie scoffed. " Brat, Stop bullying my daughter-inw." Mo Shan gave a light bonk on Mo Yi''s head. Mo Yi stuck out his tongue.

    Here, Mo Xiang finally felt some fear. Yang Shi is just too abnormal. " Enough of this. Let me finish it." Yang Shi''s eyes snapped. He pulled back his arm and merged Metal qi and Yang qi. He tried his self-created technique, Although he hasn''t given it any name yet. " Hah." Yang Shi roared as he threw his palm at Mo Xiang. *PENG* With a light thud, it struck the chest of Mo Xiang, Mo Xiang''s body jolted back. He felt his chest has been crushed by a mountain.

    *COUGH.* Mo Xiang crashed on the arena, cracking ground in the process. He coughed a mouthful of blood and fainted. " Heh, my bet was right." Yang Shi wiped his sweat. This spar truly challenged his physical body to the limit. " Damn, A little mistake, and I might have lost." Nheless, Yang Shi was happy with his development. " Now, What about him?" He cast his gaze on Mo Xiang, who was lying unconscious. " Well, Injuries happen during duels. Servents! Take him and visit our physician." Mo Shan suddenly ordered. Then, few people came and carried away Mo Xiang.

    Mo n''s disciples were in a daze. They never thought that their senior brother will lose like that. Moreover, Mo Shan isn''t a bit angry with Yang Shi. It seems Yang Shi and Mo Yi''s friendship is quite deep. " Haha, Brother Yang, You have truly shown what power means." Mo Yiughed. " Heh, Aren''t you the one who dragged us both into this mess?" Yang Shi chuckled. " Well, Honestly, I don''t like Mo Xiang at all. Just because my father and I had left the main n, all the members of the branch ns are looking down on us. Heh, But now, when father has gotten back his cultivation, they are trying back away."

    " My elder brother has been the top genius of Mo n, but since he went to explore the world, other kids are trying to take his ce. Heh, they didn''t know that I am also here. That fucker Mo Xiang, actually dared to flirt with Liu Jie? After he knew that she was my fiance, we went after Bai Ruxue. I couldn''t deal with him directly, given my position. So, I have to push you." Mo Yi smirked. " You cunning brat." Yang Shi was speechless, but then, He also wanted to pummel that Mo Xiang, so he alsoughed along with Mo Yi.

 Chapter 144: Clash of Aura

    Chapter 144: sh of Aura

    " Well, It''s time for us to return to the Main n and take back what''s ours. Heh, I still remember that day, those scornful looks of my peers. I will let them taste regret." Mo Yi snorted. " That''s the matter of future. Currently, you should spend some time with Sister Jie." Yang Shi sighed. " Yes, It''s time for celebration after all. We will ride on these flying demonic beasts and leave tomorrow evening." He informed Yang Shi. " Fine, It''s ok for me." Yang Shi nodded.

    The atmosphere was cheerful. Everyone was talking about the battle of Yang Shi and Mo Xiang. They are totally fascinated by Yang Shi''s prowess. After that, no one dared to mess with Bai Ruxue. Yang Shi had lunch in the Mo n mansion, then he went back to Golden Fire Tower. " That fellow should have reached." Yang Shi thought. Although the Elder of Demonic Sound Pce and Mo n is currently in conflict, It doesn''t mean the entire sect was his enemy. Since he could get Dark swamp spirit fruit, Yang Shi won''t let this chance go waste.

    " What? He didn''te?" Yang Shi was astonished. " It''s not like that. He asked you to go to his abode." Elder Chen replied. " Damn, Does he think he is some kind of noble? Please, Have some respect to Master grade cksmiths." Yang Shi sneered. " He already knows about it, in fact, because of the inconvenience he caused, He had given us a Sky Enchanting pill in advance."

    " Oh?" Yang Shi chuckled. He suddenly felt the matter wasn''t simple as he thought. " They want to deal with me? No, I haven''t caused any harm to them. Secrecy? That may be the reason." Yang Shi thought. " Where he asked me toe?" Yang Shi asked. " Verdant Bamboo Mansion." Elder Chen''s eyes turned strange. " Verdant Bamboo Mansion... Wait, That small bamboo garden beside City Lord''s Manor?" Yang Shi was a little shocked. The mansion was in the aristocratic area, which seems to be controlled by some powerful forces.

    " He gave you this ck token. Take it and show it to the manor guards, they will let you in." Elder Chen said. " Ok." Yang Shi nodded as he took the ck-colored token from Elder Chen. He used Starlight Burst to reach his destination quickly. It only took time for half an incense stick to reach there. Just like its name, It looked like a small bamboo forest in the middle of the city. One can barely see a small wooden house in the center. It was concealed in a good manner.

    " Halt! Who are you?" Suddenly, with loud shouts, guards rushed around Yang Shi. There are a dozen of them, and each is at Primordial Spirit realm. " Quite a strong lin up." Yang Shi raised his brow, " I am Master cksmith, Yang Shi. I came to meet your lord." Yang Shi shouted as he showed them the ck token.

    " This- Young master''s token. Dear guest, please." The guards suddenly withdraw their weapons as they opened the gate. Yang Shi nodded as he went inside. It was serene inside, with a light breeze and cicada chirping. The bamboos were nted with great care, emitting freshness.

    Yang Shi saw an opening, with a stone table and two chairs, facing oppositely. On a chair, a ck-clothed young man sat. His eyes were closed, but Yang Shi suddenly felt rmed after looking at him. The ck clothed young man''s face was quite handsome, but Yang Shi could feel the cold aura around him. He wasn''t like any orthodox sect disciples but looked more mature.

    " Ah, Master Yang looked younger than I imagined." The ck clothed young man smiled he opened his eyes. Yang Shi could see the trace of evilness in those eyes. " It looks like he is also practicing some kind of eye technique." Yang Shi thought inwardly. " How should I address this young master?" Yang Shi cupped his fist. He already had some rough guesses about him. " Haha, How can I call myself a young master? Master Yang''s reputation is bigger than me." The youth shook his head. " Haha, I wonder if my title is really bigpared to a Core disciple of Demonic Sound Pce?" Yang Shi chuckled.

    The youth''s eyes narrowed, but he still smiled. " How did you know that?" " Well, You really don''t look like an Inner disciple. Your aura, cultivation doesn''t match." Yang Shi said frankly. Indeed the youth in front of him wasn''t the one who went to the Golden Fire Tower. He was the person who actually wants the Demon Halberd and armor.

    " Master Yang is really extraordinary. To able to discern this much at such young age. Haha, Allow me to introduce myself. I am Feng Xiao, Core disciple of Demonic Sound Pce." Feng Xiao cupped his fist. " I see, Brother Feng." Yang Shi nodded. " Brother Feng has quite refined taste, to have Verdant Bamboo manor as abode." Yang Shi''s tone was a bit strange. " Haha. Although I am from a demonic sect, It doesn''t mean that I only live in the dark and gloomy ce." Feng Xiao smiled. Yang Shiughed awkwardly. " So, Why Brother Feng has toe personally?"

    " As you already know about the matter of armor and the halberd, I wished to personally meet the person who ims to able to forge it." Feng Xiao smiled. " As I thought, Your description about the halberd wascking a bit. It seems Brother Feng has gotten some blueprints?" Yang Shi chuckled. Feng Xiao''s eyes narrowed as suddenly, a formless aura gathered behind him. It was if an evil gaze cast down on Yang Shi. It felt like Feng Xiao suddenly became a demonic entity.

    " Hmph." Yang Shi snorted as he also released his ughter Aura. A thin red aura appeared behind him as it repelled the evil aura of Feng Xiao. Feng Xiao felt Yang Shi''s aura changed drastically. He looked like a primordial beast with an intense aura of blood and battle. Feng Xiao was astonished. " Such thick killing intent! How many people he has killed? No, It''s more than killing intent?" He almost lost hisposture.

    After a thought, he retracted his aura. Yang Shi also did the same. Smiles on their faces didn''t lessen a bit, as nothing had happened at all. " Master Yang able to discern so much from so little details impressed me." Feng Xiao sighed. " When I saw the description of the halberd, it indeed looked like something was amiss." Yang Shi nodded. " But, I don''t think the blueprint will help you anyway, because everything important was already known by you." Feng Xiao shrugged. Yang Shi smiled but didn''t believe it.

    " Anyway, I will pay you the price I havemissioned if you make the halberd I have instructed." Feng Xiao said. " But I have a condition." Yang Shi said. " What is it?" Feng Xiao frowned. " I want a Dark swamp spirit fruit." Yang Shi said. " Drak swamp spirit fruit." Feng Xiao frowned. He knows about that spirit fruit. It was the main ingredient in Dark North Elixir, which can heal Fire or Yang type injured. It was very beneficial for Demonic path disciples. But it was still a higher grade 2 elixir. " I can give you Dark Swamp spirit fruit." Feng Xiao nodded. " I also want to browse through the blueprint you got." Yang Shi added.

    Feng Xiao''s face twitched. " This fellow is sure greedy." He thought inwardly. " Well, You can think about it after you saw the halberd." Yang Shi smiled. Feng Xiao sighed in relief, but suddenly stopped as he heard Yang Shi, " So are you ready to see it?" " What? Could it be..." Feng Xiao was astonished as he saw Yang Shi pulled out a long wooden box. Feng Xiao was slightly agitated as he opened it. With a resplendent glow of silvery light, Feng Xiao saw an exquisite halberd. With ck vein-like patterns making a bizarre flower on the de.

    " This..." Feng Xiao felt with mouth became wide as his saliva almost dropped on the ground. " So, How is it?" Yang Shi smiled.

 Chapter 145: Striking the Deal

    Chapter 145: Striking the Deal

    " Master Yang, This halberd...Is it forged by you?" Feng Xiao couldn''t help but ask in awe. " Do I look like a weapon salesman? Of course, I made it yesterday." Yang Shi scoffed. Feng Xiao grabbed it as he channeled his spiritual qi in it. " As you have asked, I have adjusted the Spirit diagram in it, So that it canplement your Ying and Dark attribute cultivation technique." Yang Shi informed. Feng Xiao astonished as he found that the Spirit diagram really looked different from ordinary Spirit grade weapons.

    Feng Xiao understood as suddenly, a powerful aura erupted from him. Grabbing the hilt tightly, Feng Xiao channeled his cultivation technique. Wisps of ck smoke emanated from the halberd as Feng Xiao made a forward stab. " BOOM" The air boomed as he made a forward stab along with shing sideways. The air produced booming sounds as he made a dozen of attacks. " Crescent of Darkness." Feng Xiao roared. The halberd revolved like a wheel as it turned pitch ck. des of dak light shot out from it. It contained destructive power as it burst the hard stones on the garden.

    Yang Shi wasn''t surprised by his powers. After all, Feng Xiao was someone with the cultivation of Peak of Eight stages of Primordial Spirit realm. Looking at Feng Xiao, Yang Shi felt his blood boiling as a desire to fight emerged from him unconsciously. " Damn, What''s happening to me?" Yang Shi thought inwardly. But suddenly, he got understanding. It was the effect of his White Tiger bloodline and Celestial White Tiger''s Primordial Spirit. It was the battle tendency of his Primordial spirit as white tiger is known as a battle frenzy divine beast, not inferior to dragons.

    " Well, It''s been a while since I fought someone with full strength." Yang Shi thought. Then he saw Feng Xiao stopped. " What a great weapon! It far exceeds my imaginations. Master Yang, You have truly created what I wished. A quasi True grade weapon." Feng Xiaoughed loudly. " As for Dark swamp spirit fruit, You will get it till evening." He promised. After all, in front of this halberd, Dark swamp spirit fruit has less value. " I am thankful for your sincerity." Yang Shi nodded. " As for the blueprint, I identally stumbled it upon an ancient grave. It was a grave of an ancient Demonic cultivator. I found some battle techniques and the blueprint."

    " It was a very strange blueprint. After studying it for a month, I finally saw some information about this halberd. It was called - The Corrupted Halberd. But its information wasn''tplete. I felt like that person has seen that halberd before and wrote its details. No way someone can make that exact piece." Feng Xiao smiled wryly. " Why is that?" yang Shio asked curiously. " ording to that scroll, The Corrupted Halberd was supposed to be a pinnacle Earth grade weapon." Feng Xiao sighed.

    Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed. He felt even Supreme Kingdoms like Soaring Star Supreme Kingdom barely had a low tier Earth grade weapon. A pinnacle Earth grade weapon isn''t something these current kingdoms can have." I guess, there are bigger secrets in this." Yang Shi thought. " Currently, I don''t have that scroll. I am returning to the capital in a few days." Feng Xiao sighed. " The Capital? I am also heading there." Yang Shi eximed. " Really? Are you going for the tournament?" Feng Xiao asked. " Tournament? I am going to attend the special auction of the Hundred Gold Pavilion." Yang Shi shook his head

    " What is the tournament you speak of?" Yang Shi asked. " Hehe, It seems Master Yang doesn''t know about it. But don''t worry. Once you reach the capital, You will know yourself." Feng Xiaoughed mysteriously. Yang Shi couldn''t help but grumble. Feng Xiao cupped his fist, " Master Yang, I hope our cooperation will remain strong in the future." He said with a deep tone. " As long as I get profit." Yang Shi cackled. " Haha, Master Yang is sure straightforward." Feng Xiao smiled.

    " As for your armor, I don''t have enough materials. I hope you can deliver in time. When I would meet you in the Capital, I will give it to you." Yang Shi said. " Master Yang just needs to list the things. I will deliver it today." Feng Xiao nodded. " Alright, bring me a paper and brush." Yang Shi said. Then he wrote more than a dozen of metals and ores. Feng Xiao''s face twitched as he read them. There are some metals which he never heard of. "But he didn''t mind it. " Rest assured. You will get everything till evening." Feng Xiao said.

    " Then, I shall leave." Yang Shi nodded. " By the way, Master Yang, You saber is also good." Feng Xiao said suddenly. " Haha, no worry, Brother Feng. We will let out weapons meet next time." Yang Shiughed as he turned to leave. " Heh, Indeed." Feng Xiao also chuckled in his mind. He could feel his battle intent rising. He knew that Yang Shi''s cultivation was inferior to his, yet he felt an undescribable intent to fight with him.

    " Finally, I got this. Hehe, You guys just wait and see how I will dominate the Sect trials." Feng Xiao smirked. Suddenly, wisps of smoke arose from his back as it fainty made the appearance of a terrifying beast with a skull on its face.

    Yang Shi''s mood was excellent. He really didn''t need so many materials to forge an armor, but Feng Xiao looked like a fat sheep, so he couldn''t help but rip him off. He listed some rare materials which can be useful to him. " Hmm, I wonder if he can gather them till evening." Yang Shi muttered. He went back to Golden Fire Tower. " Guess, You are seeded." Elder Chen said in a strange tone. " How did you know?" Yang Shi asked in a surprised face. " Well, Someone came just now and paid all the gold coins. He also left a note, saying that all the ingredients will reach shortly."

    " Oh wow. They are sure efficient." Yang Shi eximed. " ording to the rule, we will get 20% of the profit. So out of 3 million, we will take 600,000 gold coins." Elder Chen said calmly. " Hiss." Yang Shi sucked a breath of cold air. Just from him alone, The Golden Fire Tower got a profit of 600,00 gold coins. Imagine the profit from thousands of Alchemists and cksmiths under it. " Damn." Yang Shi couldn''t help but curse. But well, It was none of his concern. " I hope Master Yang will forge more weapons." Elder Chen smiled.

    Yang Shi went to the treasure hall and withdraw his remaining gold coins and a Sky enchanting pill. " Good things should not be kept for long." Yang Shi chuckled. He went to his own residence in Golden Fire Tower and sat to cultivate. He barely cultivated in thest few days. He popped the Sky Enchanting pill in his mouth as he began to absorb the spiritual qi. In three hours, His cultivation was barely raised by one-third.

    " Fuck, Are these Sky Enchanting pills are fake? Why it''s so ineffective?" Yang Shi grumbled. e He calcted and found that this pill has only 40% of medicinal properties. " The heck, I need pills of 90% effect or 100%." But Yang Shi didn''t know that pills like Sky Enchanting Pill having a 40% medicine effect is already what a Master Alchemist can make with difficulties. 90% effectiveness is only Grandmaster Alchemist can make.

    " Damn, At this rate, I need to eat hundreds of pills. No, even hundreds of pills can''t make it. I guess I need to ask from Old Ghost next time." Yang Shi thought as sighed. Ordinary cultivators can advance easily after eating Sky Enchanting pilL. However, Yang Shi''s physique was sturdier than normal people, so he needed more amount of energy.

    " Eh? It''s been evening already? I guess, My items should be on the way." Yang Shi chuckled. As he was thinking, a servant came and bowed, " Master Yang, Someone wishes to meet you." " Oh, They are here already?" Yang Shi was pleasantly surprised. When he went outside, he saw avish carriage outside.

    " Master Yang Shi, Here is the thing you have listed." The servant bowed as he passed a Storage pouch to Yang Shi. Yang Shi nced inside and became happy. " Young Master Feng is sure efficient." He remarked. Then the servent passed him a jade box. Yang Shi opened it and saw a ck colored fruit lying inside. Reflecting the rays of the setting sun, it looked like a egg sized ck pearl, emitting a bewitching appearance.

    " Finally." Yang Shi let out a satisfying smile.

    " Father, What you have brought for me?" A little boy asked sweetly. " Haha, Little Su, You are turning ten today. How can your father haven''t any gifts prepared?" The middle aged man smiled. " Waah, Let me see, Let me see." The boy became agitated as he pestered his father. " Haha, Look." He presented him with a wooden box. The boy hurriedly opened it and found a shining sword.

    " Waah, A sword!." The boy''s eyes gleamed. He took out the sword and made random shes. The sword buzzed as it easily cut apart the furniture. " Oh, No no, Little Su, That sword is special." The middle aged man was surprised as he stopped Little Su. " Little Su, This a Spirit grade sword. You can''t even fathom its strength. When you will reach Primordial Spirit Realm, This will be your greatest asset." The man exined.

    " Dear, How much you have spent on this?" A woman asked in a low tone. " Don''t worry, honey. In fact, I got this sword cheaper than I expected. It was made by a new Master grade cksmith, so I haggled the price a bit. Nheless, This a very good weapon for Little Su." The middle aged man scratched his head. " Little Su will enter in Sect in future. I have to prepare best for him." The middle aged man said with a grave tone. He was a well off merchant in Firmament City, so affording a Low tier Spirit grade weapon was no problem for him.

    " Little Su, be careful of the sword." The man warned him. " Haha, Father, I love this sword." Little Suughed as he hugged the sword. The middle aged man and his wife couldn''t help but smile.

    ...........................................

    " Zhang Bu, You finally dare to appear?" A loud voice could be heard. A dueling arena was bustling with the crowd. " Big brother Chong will defeat Zhao Bu easily. His Spirit Iron sword is very formidable." A person said.

    " Too bad, Zhao Bu was too eager for his sess. He shouldn''t have opposed Big Brother Chong." Another one said. " Hmm, But Zhao Bu wasn''t someone to underestimate. He is a very hard working fellow. Maybe his Combat Primordial Spirit can cover his shorings. Nheless, Brother Chong is still in advantage."

    A young man listened to all of the murmurs, but his face was steady and focused as he walked into the arena. There was a saber sheathed on his waist as he stood silently. Another young man came. He seemed to be older than him. " Zhao Bu, You are still young and inexperienced. I shall give you another chance. Acknowledge me as the captain, and I shall spare you." He said arrogantly.

    " Since we are here, we should not dy any more." Zhao Bu shook his head. " Hoh, Do you think your new weapon can withstand my Spirit Iron Sword? Haha, It seems you are addicted to breaking your weapons from me." The surnamed Chongughed. " I have already buried that weapon. From now, This shall be mypanion." Zhao Bu grabbed the saber hilt but didn''t draw it. " Hmph, What you know? My sword was personally forged by Master Zhang. It''s a middle-tier Spirit grade weapon. Do you think you can match me?" He sneered.

    " How can you know without fighting first?" Zhao Bu calmly said. " Haha, So you chose to remain stubborn till the end. Fine, Draw your weapon. I am giving you a chance." The surnamed Chongughed. " As you wish." Zhao Bu clenched the saber hilt as a crimson aura erupted from his body. It slowly took shape of a warrior as it ovepped on Zhao Bu''s body.

    " Three styles of Crimson Lord''d Saber, Interwinded sh." Zhao Bu''s aura became imposing as he drew his saber. Suddenly, it sounded like a roar of a general as Zhao Bu attacked at Brother Chong. His saber suddenly multiplied in the mid way, as it was swung too fast. Brother Chong''s eyes narrowed as he used a movement technique to dodge. " BOOM" The arena boomed as the saber hit the ground. But Zhao Bu didn''t stop as he chased after Brother Chong.

    " Impressive, It seems you have learned a lot sincest time. But, It ends here. The flutter of Hundred Swords." Brother Chong roared as he unsheathed his sword. His sword gleamed with white light as it collided with Zhao Bu''s saber. *CLANG CLANG CLANG CLANG* With the heavy noise of colliding metals, They shed with each other. Brother Chong became faster and faster as he slowly overwhelmed Zhao Bu.

    Zhao Bu didn''t panic as he changed his attacking style. Crimson Lord''s Warcry." Zhao Bu roared as he made a beautiful ark from his saber. " Haha, Now! Rushing Sword Break." Brother Chong raised his sword as he shed with terrifying momentum. " Oh god! That''s Brother Chong''s signature move!" Someone called out. It''s the infamous move of Brother Chong which has broken countless weapons. Zhao Bu''s previous saber was also broken by this move.

    Zhao Bu''s move waspletely broken by Brother Chong as he got sted back. " Aiiz, It seems, Zhao Bu and his weapon, both are finished." Someone sighed. " No, wait! Look at that!" A man shouted. Everyone looked that Zhao Yu got up. His Saber was also unscathed. " How is that possible? That was clearly a Low tier Spirit Grade sword. How can it survive the attack of Brother Chong''s Spirit Iron Sword?" Everyone wondered. " Huh?" Even Brother Chong became dumbfounded.

    " Now! Rage of Crimson Lord, The final Stance!" Zhao Bu roared. It felt all of his power concentrated on his saber tip. It red with crimson light as Zhao Bu''s spirit was absorbed by the saber. One can feel a dreadful auraing from the saber. Zhao Bu crouched a bit as he shot toward Brother Chong light a cannonball. " Crap! He caught me by surprise." His expression changed drastically. " Returning of Swords." He made a defensive sword stance, but looking at it, Zhao Bu''s lips curled as he changed his direction midway. " Wait-" Before Brother Chong could understand, Zhao Bu''s sword became a crimson spiral as it funneled through Brother Chong''s move.

    " BANG!" With a muffled sound, Brother Chong got sted back as he coughed out blood. Soon, he became unconscious. Everyone became dumbfounded as they saw Zhao Bu win. " You didn''t let me down, From now, I shall call you, Conqueror." Zhao Bu smiled as he essed his saber. He never thought that aimlessly going to the Golden Fire Tower will give him this unusual saber. " I heard some new Master cksmith made this. I hope I can meet that great figure."

    " From now, Zhao Bu shall be the Captain of Firmament City''s Elite Guards." A middle aged man dered.

    Simrly, Many people became amazed that their newly bought Spirit weapon made by a new cksmith is surprisingly good.

    " Hey, Old man. I have forged so many weapons, even the replica of Corrupted Halberd. Is my fate is enough to awaken my Immemorial Evil Vein?" Yang Shi asked. " Hmm, You sure very eager, eh? You perverted bastard." Samsara Emperor chuckled. Yang Shi''s face twitched, but he knows replying to him was equivalent to get insulted more, so he remained silent. " Let me check. I have to probe through the fateworks of Heaven." Samsara Emperor muttered as he became silent.

 Chapter 147: New commission

    Chapter 147: Newmission

    Luck or karma is always been the hidden factor of geniuses. It exists in a corporeal yet illusory way. Good work brings good karma and evil gets retribution, people believe it. But it has a very low effect of cultivators, yet nheless, it has. Cultivators at higher realms can alter fate and change destiny, yet there is a limit to it. In the end, fate will change itself and the cultivator will found that they were attached to higher karma or a big event that can destroy them. Fate is also like an invisible currency.

    Without enough luck, you might miss a godly weapon, even if it''s lying beside you. So, Fate, Destiny, Karma, Luck, all these things are still the most alluring things to cultivators. s, No one has ever said that they became master of destiny. (Don''t mind this paragraph, its kinda crap)

    Samsara Emperor sat in his mysterious abode, with eyes open. He started at the sky which was blue, without any clouds. Hong er sat beside him, seemingly to brew tea. She looked at Samsara Emperor as she chuckled. " Old man, You are nothing more than a divine intent. Stop trying to peek that Bastard Heavens." Samsara Emperor''s face twitched, but he calmed himself. " I am just calcting that brat''s luck. It seems it''s enough now." Samsara Emperor sighed. " Immemorial Evil Yin Vein. As it implies, it will give the inheritor terrible luck first. If he survived, then it will make him like carp leaping through the dragon gate, soaring above nine skies." Hong er said.

    " Sigh, If it only is like that. Yet, the situation is moreplicated." Samsara Emperor sighed. " After awakening, What misfortune can fall on him? Is there something that even I can''t resolve? No, My form is too weak now. Still, Assisting him shouldn''t be any problem. I have to see first." Samsara Emperor thought silently. " Fuck, Such is life." He couldn''t help butugh.

    ..........................................

    " Kid, I guess, It''s sufficient." Samsara Emperor said. " Is it?" Yang Shi smiled. " Yeh, Now go and do what you wanted to do so much." Samsara Emperor sighed. " Haha." Yang Shi couldn''t help but rub under his nose out of embarrassment. Yang Shi couldn''t help but return to Bai Ruxue quickly. *Grumble*

    " Eh? Damn it. I actually forgot to eat." Yang Shi couldn''t help but sigh. " Oh well, It''s been a while since I ate in Gold and Jade Inn. Let''s eat till my stomach fill." Yang Shi muttered.

    " Boss Mao, It seems you have gotten fatter." Yang Shi chuckled as he entered the inn. " Ahahah, Is it junior Yang? It''s been a while you came here." Boss Mao smiled. He was the head chef of the Inn. Yang Shi was acquainted with him since he came here first. " I will have Golden String Noodles, Doubleyered Fried Fish, and Four colored Spirit Chicken dumplings. Oh yes, a jug of Bright Plum Wine." Yang Shi ordered. " Ohoho! Brother Yang isn''t being stingy today. Did something good happened?" The waiter boy smiled he took his order.

    " Well, Something good did happen. Hehe, it seems you are about to earn some good tips." Yang Shiughed. The waiter smiled awkwardly. Soon, tes of delicious dishes were served in front of him. Yang Shi rubbed his palm as he devoured the food. " Man, Boss Mao, Your dishes are best as always." Yang Shi said as he drunk a mouthful of wine. Soon, He finished his meal and paid six thousand gold coins. Yang Shi was about to leave but suddenly his face turned dark. " Are you fucking with me?" Suddenly, he pulled out his Golden Blood Moon token, which was emitting a faint glow.

    Yang Shi''s face couldn''t help but twitch violently. " Hey, Old man, I thought you said, Not any more obstacles?" Yang Shi clenched his teeth as he asked to Samsara Emperor. " Uhhh...Honestly, I am also surprised by this. It must be a random coincidence." Samsara Emperor chuckled. " Damn, Why didn''t you tell me?" yang Shi raged. " How can I know everything happening in the future? I don''t have a goddamn time machine." Samsara Emperor snorted. Yang Shi couldn''t help but feel dejected. " I will rip at least a dozen of Sky Enchanting pills from Old Ghost." He muttered.

    .....................

    " Hoh, You are quick as always." Old Ghost chuckled as he saw Yang Shi. " Old coot, I will pull your beard if you have called me for some stupid reason." Yang Shi raged. " Aiiz, Youngsters these days. I thought I might give you a chance to earn something big, but it seems, Sigh." Old Ghost sighed. Yang Shi''s eyes squinted as he cleared his throat. " Ahem, Why don''t you say first?" He asked to Old Ghost. Old Ghost passed him a jade slip. Yang Shi took it and began to read. Hisplexion turned strange as his eyes went wide.

    " Half a month ago, White Dear Merchant group''s Leader- Tao Zhu''s daughter was kidnapped. Nine days ago, her corpse was found. Intelligence says that Crimson Wolf Gang''s leader- Guo Chun had kidnapped her and raped her to death. Both groups are at odds with each other in the first ce, so the report is verified. The White Dear Merchant group couldn''t do anything to Guo Chun, so they issued amission here. Two lower tier Spirit stones for the head of Guo Chun and His subordinate."

    " Hoh, This is not your usual shits." Yang Shi couldn''t help but chuckle. " Cultivation of Guo Chun, Peak Seventh Stage of Primordial Spirit Realm. Subordinates- From the Third stage to the Sixth. Additional info- There might be members of Heaven Protection Guild protecting Guo Chun. Grade- Team Mission." " So, What you want me to do?" Yang Shi asked Old Ghost. " Why ask me? The decision is yours." Old Ghost said. " You know that It''s very hard for me toplete this alone." Yang Shi said in a low voice. However, He didn''t say it''s impossible. Old Ghost also understood as he smiled, " If you want, White Fang can join you."

    " Lu Xiao? The hell! Why would he help me? No, Wait...Could it be...Crimson Wolf Gang is a part of Second Prince''s faction?" Yang Shi probed. " Guess?" Old Ghost smiled. " Fuck, Why there are political strings everywhere?" Yang Shi grimaced. " But that two Low grade Spirit stones we are talking about. Damn, I really need them." Yang Shi mumbled. With help of them, He can easily charge up to Eight Stage of the Primordial Spirit realm.

    Sky Enchanting pills are medicinal pills in the end. After eating many, Their efficiency decreases greatly. Moreover, eating too many pills can affect the cultivation foundation and increase pill toxins in the body. However, Spirit stones are basically Spiritual qi in solid form. So absorbing too many of them isn''t any problem. But Spirit stones are scarce here. Only big sects and powerful ns have spirit stones.

    " Oh yes, If you want, Yanyu can also join you." Old Ghost said. " Yanyu, Who is she?" Yang Shi asked in confusion. " Guess?" Old Ghostughed again. " Wait, Could it be..." Yang Shi''s mouth went wide. It was the ck clothed apprentice of Old Ghost, who was pretending to be a male. " Strange. She agreed?" Yang Shi asked. " Guo Chun has some secret information. So, Before you kill him, we need that." Old Ghost said. " Can I go now?" Yang Shi asked hurriedly. " Why are you in so hurry?" Old Ghost was astonished. " Errm...I have some important work in the home." Yang Shi scratched his head.

    " Hmm, You have two hours for preparation. Oh yes, Here. This a bottle of Three stripes Frog''s venom. The poison master was busy currently, so he was unable to meet you." Old Ghost said. " This venom, how potent is it?" Yang Shi asked. "Well, It can instantly paralyze an Eight stage Primordial Spirit realm expert. As for killing, a full bottle can kill two of them." Old Ghost said.

    " Hmm, Two hours...It''s enough to forge them." Yang Shi thought. It''s already evening, if he canplete the task till night, there is still a lot of time for him and Bai Ruxue. " Alright, just give me a room and don''t disturb me." Yang Shi said. " What are you going to do?" Old Ghost thought.

 Chapter 148: Preparation

    Chapter 148: Preparation

    Two spirit stones, Yang Shi''s gaze was burning. He needs them at any cost. " I can convince Lu Xiao. After all, I saved his life back then. Now, about Miss Yanyu. Heh, She won''t be willing to trade with me without any benefit." Yang Shi thought. If three persons are going on this mission, Yang Shi needs to convince them both to get two spirit stones for himself. " Hmm, I remember that she doesn''t have a good bow." His eyes sparkled as he pulled out his forging table. Then he took out a brush, inkpot, and paper. He calmed his mind as he began to draw. He took the brush and paper from Old Ghost''s cabin.

    " Errm...It''s not too bad for the first time?" Yang Shi coughed slightly. He saw the outlines of the bow he was going forge, at least in his eyes. " Pui, What the fuck is that crap? Is this called a blueprint?" Samsara Emperor couldn''t help but spit. " What I am supposed to do? It''s the first time I drew anything after twenty years." Yang Shi couldn''t help but grumble. Even back in Earth, he didn''t have the luxury to learn drawing. And naturally, his natural skills are good as a child''s scribble. Nheless, He got a general idea about the bow and spirit diagrams on it. " A bow needs to be light and precise. Both limbs must be the same as each other else the bow''s shot won''t be urate.

    Yang Shi already decided that he will use a lightness Spirit diagram. It will make the bow light and fast, granting maximum speed to the arrow. " Hmm, She also seems to use a weapon condensation technique." Yang Shi remembered when he fought with her. She can condense arrow from the spiritual qi. And those arrows might wasn''t any low. But, a Real arrow is a real arrow. Yang Shi was also thinking to forge some Spirit ying arrow. Considering her strength, with these arrows, She can severely injure cultivators of the Eight stage.

    But of course, making spirit diagrams on arrows are very difficult. Yang Shi wondered if he could make more than three Spirit ying arrows at the moment. After all, Spirit ying arrows aren''t normal arrows. It can also be considered as Spirit grade weapons. Pairing with this bow, these arrows can bring destruction. He finally lit his smelting cauldron and poured ores and metals. The ores slowly melted as they merged with each other.

    Yang Shi pulled out the glowing billet and hammered it with his Sky Breaking Hammer. *DING DING DING DING DING* With sonorous sounds, Yang Shi began to give the billet into the shape of a bow. As for the bowstring, Yang Shi pulled out a demonic beast corpse from his spatial ring and refined its tendon. Its a high grade demonic beast''s tendon, so its durability is very high. Yang Shi also crushed some Earthen copper crystals to powder and smeared them all over the tendon. It increased its durability and strength. It won''t break even an Eight stage cultivator pull it with full force. It took half an hour just to perfect the string. After all, smearing metallic powder on a beast tendon is delicate work. A slight mistake can lead to failure.

    " Grandpa, How can you agree to him without my consent?" Yanyu raged. " You are going to steal the important documents about weapon smuggling from Guo Chun. However, I feel its a trap for Blood Moon assassins." Old Ghost frowned. Its normal to putmissions that lure out assassins. However, It''s a double edged sword. If they are unable to kill the assassin and the assassin somehow kills the target, The one who had posted themission must pay for themission, else, Blood Moon Hall will mobilize their force to annihte them.

    " So what? I can easily take care of myself." Yanyu snorted. " Still, Its better to havepanions. Who knows, That brat might give an unexpected surprise." Old Ghost chuckled. " Hmph, I need to talk with him. Where is he?" " He is in that room." Old Ghost''s face turned strange. " What he is doing there?" Yanyu asked. " He...see,s to forging something." Old Ghost muttered. " What? We are about to leave now and he is forging something?" Yanyu shouted in disbelief. " Yes, well, He should be done by now. Oh, He ising." Old Ghost said.

    Surprisingly, he was only looking at the wall which separated Yang Shi''s room and theirs. Just by this, he can see what''s happening inside the closed room. Yanyu knows about the prowess of Old Ghost, so she wasn''t surprised. " What is he forging?" She became curious. " Well, It''s better to hear from his mouth." Old Ghost smiled. The door opened as Yang Shi saw Old Ghost along with the mysterious Miss Yanyu. This time, she wasn''t disguised as a male. She wore a tight ck dress which was outlining every curve of her body. She wore a ck veil, to hide her face. Nheless, Yang Shi was mesmerized by the beauty of her. She is indeed more beautiful than Bai Ruxue and Lan Yue.

    " Ah, I was just waiting for you." Yang Shi smiled as he hurriedly wiped his sweat. " So, Are you ready for the mission?" He asked. " Why do you think I will agree on it?" Yanyu asked. This time, she didn''t alter her voice. Her tone sounded like the chirping of birds. Yang Shi couldn''t help but get distracted. " I feel you won''t reject it. Moreover, I can repay your favor." Yang Shi said. " What favor?" Yanyu asked in surprise. " Well, Last time, you saved my life. So, I thought to give something." Yang Shi scratched his head. " I saw you aren''t using a Spirit grade bow, so I decided to forge one for you." Yang Shi waved his arm as a bow with a meter length appeared. It was a silver bow with intricate golden patterns. Yanyu''s eyes went wide in surprise as she took the bow from Yang Shi.

    She held the handle as she slightly pulled the bowstring. *TWENGGG* Like a zither note, the string vibrated. She infused his spiritual qi in it, lighting up the golden patterns. Mist gathered and condensed into an arrow. But this arrow looked more corporeal than thest time when she was battling with Yang Shi. " These special spirit diagrams can amplify the condensation of spiritual qi into the weapon. Too bad I made it in hurry, nheless, Its still a high tier Spirit grade weapon, better than your bow." Yang Shi said with a tinge of dejection.

    Old Ghosts'' eyes shot up as he became surprised. " He made a high tier Spirit grade weapon in two hours? Such profound cksmithing skill in such young age!" He thought. Yanyu shot the arrow to a white rock nearby. *BOOM* with a whistling sound, the arrow went through the rock and shattered a nearby tree. The hole in the rock was very smooth, as it shows the power and sharpness of the arrow. " That''s a deep mountain rock, which is very hard. To think this arrow condensed with spiritual qi will able to pierce it." Yanyu muttered, " At least you have some consideration." Yanyu chuckled. She didn''t thank Yang Shi as he was only repaying her favor.

    To be honest, with the resources she had, getting a True grade weapon was easy as pie for her, but due to certain reasons, she had to use a low-tier weapon. Nheless, she was secretly happy for the new weapon. " Umm, I have another request for you." Yang Shi gave an awkward smile. " Knew it." Yanyu shouted in her mind. " I hope you can give me the two spirit stones of themission." Yang Shiughed shamelessly.

    Chapter 149: Killing Guo Chun (1)

    " Yang Shi, Do you know how valuable spirit stones are?" Yanyu frowned. " I admit that this bow is excellent, but, what makes you think that I won''t take the spirit stones?" She asked. " Two reasons." Yang Shi said calmly. " If you are following someone like Old Ghost, then youck anything but resources." Yang Shi chuckled. Hey, You are following an Origin Core realm cultivator. And judging from your identity, aren''t you supposed to be a hidden member of some top brass god tier sect? Yang was screaming inside his heart. Why are you whining over two spirit stones?

    " Ahem, and the second thing, Pairing with this bow, I have also some special arrows." Saying that, Yang Shi produced two Spirit ying arrows. He was intending to make three, but the first one got destroyed. Yanyu''s brow raised as she assessed the arrows. " Not bad, These are indeed the perfect arrows for this bow." She nodded. Old Ghost was already smiling at Yang Shi''s reasonings. " Fine, you will get two spirit stones, but everything else will be ours." Old Ghost stated. " Fine by me." Yang Shi agreed hurriedly.

    " Grandpa!" Yanyu shouted. " Yanyu, you don''t need to worry." Old Ghost stopped her. She sighed but didn''t say much. " Alright, so, When are we leaving?" Yang Shi asked in an excited tone. " Right now," Yanyu said and turned to leave. Her body turned blur as she disappeared into the darkness. " Hey! Wait for me!" Not underestimating her agility technique, Yang Shi directly activated the Starlight Burst. But Yang Shi was surprised to find that his speed was still slower than her. " Damn, I need to reach the minorpletions stage of Starlight Burst." He thought inwardly.

    Shen Yanyu''s movement technique was very strange. One can see faint white smokeing from her legs, which seems to increase her speed. " Whatever her technique is, she sure has mastered it deeply." Yang Shi guess. After some while, they reached wilderness. But there was a huge vi guarded by numerous guards. All of them have reached the Primordial Spirit realm. " So this is the stronghold of Crimson Wolf Gang," Yang Shi thought. " Oh, Brother Shadow and Miss has already arrived." Laughter startled Yang Shi. He saw Lu Xiaoing next to them.

    " I never thought Brother Shadow is alsoing." Lu Xiao said. " Well, I happened to be free, so I came along with Miss Yannyu." Yang Shi said. He was still wearing his bronze demonic mask. " Anyway, I have scouted and it seems there are more than 50 guards in the manor. Aside from Guo Chun, There are two more people we should be wary of." Lu Xiao said with a serious tone.

    " Hmm, Miss Yanyu is better in archery, so she will be our force in dark. If there are any anomalies, she can also help us. Then You and I will be the main attacking force." Yang Shi rubbed his chin as he said. " I was also thinking the same." Lu Xiao nodded. " As I can see, Lu Xiao should go from the north and you should go from west. Therge hall in middle where the cultivators are most. The south western room is Guo Chun''s. Thats the most possible location where Guo Chun might be." Yanyu said. " Since everything is settled, Let''s go." The trio nodded as they ran to different directions.

    Yang Shi grabbed his sword hilt as he walked cautiously. He activated his Celestial View as he looked into the building. " Heh, I feel I am ying Assassin''s creed." He chuckled inwardly as he leaped to the wall. Moving carefully, he bypassed the guards one by one. " No, It would be troublesome. Guess, I have to use the traditional way." Yang Shi smacked his lips. He looked around and lurked in the darkness. Then he saw two guards passing by. " Yawn, I wonder why lord has tightened the security?" The first guard grumbled. " I don''t know. But recently, he got a feud with White Deer merchant group, so he might be taking precautions." The second guard replied.

    " Yes-. Wait! Who is there?" The guards are talking but suddenly they became alerted after noticing a silhouette. " Halt! Who are you?" The guards drew their weapons as they pointed at it. " Oh, Uhh, I am new here. Can you show me the way?" The unknown person said awkwardly. " Huh? What do you mea-" Before they could understand, a silver light shed in the darkness. " ENEMY-" before they could shout, a sword sh separated their heads from their bodies.

    Yang Shi appeared as he stole one of the guard''s uniforms. " Thankfully, it''s not much spoiled by blood." Yang Shi muttered. " As for the bodies, I have to yeet it away. After a while, It can be used to create amotion." He chuckled as he threw them from the walls." I have to hurry now." Yang Shi adjusted his helmet as he went to the main hall. He already applied Mudcloud fungus to disguise himself as he looked back in Earth. After looking out of any suspicious movement, Yang Shi went to the main hall. It was bustling with many people. One has to go through the main hall in order to reach Guo Chun''s room.

    Yang Shi secretly stood on a corner and used his vision to observe the people''s strength. " Hmm? Wait, So that''s Guo Chun''s subordinate. Not bad, his strength is at the seventh stage. Hmm, There are two of them here." Yang Shi thought. He lowered his head as he went forward. There are quite a number of people there, So Yang Shi didn''t want to make a ruckus here. The rule of assassination is to kill without letting even the wind know. Yang Shi was trying to sneak away when suddenly someone shouted. " Hey! You. Stop there." Yang Shi halted as he saw a person was shouting at him. He also wore the guard''s cloth but his helmet was different.

    " Reporting Sir! I am Lui Yang from the third group!" Yang Shi shouted as he saluted. The captain got surprised as he nodded. Honestly,he had never seen him before, but looking at Yang Shi''s response, he nodded. " Why are you here?" the captain asked sternly. " I saw some suspicious movement near western wall, so I came to report". Yang Shi said. " Suspicious movement?" The captain got startled. " Yes, If you can. Pleasee with me." Yang Shi said. He didn''t want to make the captain sus him.

    " Yes! Let''s go!" The captain nodded. Yang Shi was going along with him when suddenly, amotion sounded. " Someone intruded in easter wall!" Someone shouted. " Intruded? " People became shocked. " Well, a young man came and demanded to meet the Lord." The servant said awkwardly. " Really?" Let''s see." One of the Guo Chun''s subordinate said as went with the guard. Yang Shi felt it might Lu Xiao''s ploy, he also wanted to take advantage.

    " Captain! You should also go with them. I feel something isn''t right. I will inform master Zhu about the anomaly." Yang Shi suddenly said. " Master Zhu? Are you sure?" The captain''s eyes narrowed. " Yes!" Yang Shi nodded. " Fine, Master is in upstairs." The captain nodded. Yang Shi saluted again as he went t ahead. " Wait a minute!" The captain suddenly shouted back. " Yang Shi stopped as his heartbeat became a little faster. " Did I messed up things?" " You are going in the wrong way. Go there. That''s Lord Guo''s room." The captain said sternly.

    " My bad!" Yang Shi created his head as he changed his direction. The captain nodded as he went. " Hmm, I guess, I have to finish that Zhu guy first. It will be very hard to deal with Guo Chun alone." Yang Shi thought as went to Master Zhao''s room.

    He stood outside of the room, " Master Zhu, This servant has some reports." He shouted. " Hmm? is it? Come in." An aged voice sounded. " Yang Shi grabbed his sword hilt as he entered the room. Without wasting time, he activated his Celestial View and unleashed Fleeting Light.

    " What!" The surname Zhu got started as he got sted back. " Yang Shi didn''t hesitate tounch another killing blow. He won''t stand to see that man counter attacking him. Thankfully, these walls are thick enough to iste noise. A bloodied figure fell down. " One down, one to go." Yang Shi muttered.

 Chapter 150: Killing Guo Chun (2)

    Chapter 150: Killing Guo Chun (2)

    Yang Shi sighed in relief as he saw Master Zhu died. But suddenly, His expression changed as he saw that figure twitch. Master Zhu weakly squeezed his palm as he crushed something. Suddenly, the room rumbled as Yang Shi became rmed. " Fuck! A formation?" Yang Shi''s eyes grew heavy. " How the hell a puny character like Guo Chen has the assistance of formations? No, waIt''s Its not a formation. " Yang Shi used his Celestial View as he looked around. suddenly, the atmosphere became misty as it obscured his vision.

    " Hoho, I never thought that Blood Moon hall will send the Evil Shadow here." A hoarse voice cackled. It sounded like it was echoing in the room, unable to detect the source of the sound. " If someone from Heaven Protection Guild is only capable of this, Then I am really disappointed." Yang Shi shook his head. He conjured a ball of fire and tossed it behind him. The fire destroyed by an unknown force as a figure revealed in the mist. " Hah, To think you able to notice my location within my Seal of deviation so fast." It was a middle aged man with a cane in his hand. " Your rune disks are really powerful. It can easily obscure the five senses of normal people. But you should know about an assassin''s intuition." Yang Shi sneered. However, in his mind, he was assessing the power of the middle aged man.

    " Well, It was just a small test for you. Now, allow yourself to be captured obediently or die." That man''s voice became cold. " Heh, old man, You are overestimating yourself." Yang Shi jumped back as he shed his sword. He activated his Gold Devil body and Sword Art of Ster Night simultaneously.

    " Fleeting light!" He infused his Metal qi in the longsword as he attacked that man. The middle aged man''s eyes became narrowed as he smashed his cane on the ground. " Triple fire storm." Suddenly, three huge vortexes of fire appeared out of thin air as it charged at Yang Shi.

    " Fleeting Light, Circr cut!" Yang Shi made a circr shed as he collided with the fire vortex. " Heh, ying fire with me? ming shield." Yang Shi destroyed two out of the three fire vortexes. He summoned the mes of Crimson lily to create a zing shield of me to block the third vortex. It was from the Great Yang Sr me Art. Yang Shi has mastered the technique a long ago. Although it was an iplete technique, Yang Shi can utilize it without any restraint. The ming shield easily blocked the attack.

    " Hah, It seems you have some strength. But here is all end, Heavenly Bound!" The middle aged man shouted as he raised his stall. Yang Shi''s eyes became hazy as a blinding light shone. He suddenly felt his movement became sluggish. " What the hell is the battle technique?" Yang Shi frowned. " Its our guild''s best imprisoning technique. Now allow me to get you." The middle aged manughed as he walked to Yang Shi. " Impudence!" Yang Shi roared as he finally released his White Tiger Primordial Spirit. " War God Frenzy!" Yang Shi''s eyes became crimson as he let out a bestial roar. With a stomp he jumped off from the ground. Then using his downward momentum, He unleashed the second stance- Starlight Haze." His longsword became hazy as countless streak of sword strikes fell on the middle aged man. " WHAT! How did he escape from my Heavenly Bound? Crap! Come forth my Rune Disks- Grand Protection Shield." The middle aged hurriedly chanted an incantation as four stone tes hovered around him. They shone with a white light as it made a shield to protect him. Yang Shi''s sword sh fell like rain droplets as it shed with the shield.

    The middle aged man''s Grand Protection Shield trembled violently, but it blocked the attack of Yang Shi. " Haha, You can only dream about breaking my Grand Protection Shield." The middle aged manughed frantiaclly. Yang Shi felt his spiritual qi churning inside him. He stopped attacking and looked at the middle aged man. " This is like a small formation. I have to find the weak nodes in them." Yang Shi muttered as he used his Celestial View. Clutching his sword tightly he slowly said- Moonlight sh. His longsword emitted a silver light as a huge silver light crescent descended on the shield. It came in a weird angle, concentrating at a single point.

    *BOOM* The shield trembled more violently as cracks spread like spiderwebs. The middle aged smile froze as his eyes became wide. He hurriedly channeled all of his spiritual qi into the Rune disks, but unfortunately, Yang Shi''s attack was faster and stronger. The shield broke apart with loud noise as the middle aged man blown back from the impact. Yang Shi also staggered as he went a few steps back. But with a wave of hand, Yang Shi roared- " Infernal Spikes." The ground erupted with a dozed ming spiked with pierced the body of middle aged man. But it retracted immediately. " Because you are from Heaven Protection Guild, I am sparing you. But of course, only sparing your life." Yang Shi chuckled as he went and stole the storage pouch and four Rune disks.

    Rune disks can be also called a formation created on small disks. These are instant-to-use formations. One need to spell the incantation, channel the spiritual qi and it will be a formation on a smaller scale. Of course, It''s many times weaker than actual formations. And it also costs like hell. Yang Shi was very happy to get this thing. The middle aged man coughed a mouthful of blood out of rage as he fainted. Yang Shi remembered that Old Ghost had forbidden him to kill someone from the Heaven Protection guild, so Yang Shi only made him unconscious and left.

    Thankfully, The room was around a corner, and the fight didn''t attract any attention. But Yang Shi felt something amiss as hurriedly went to the room of Guo Chun. He felt weird as he saw no guards around the room. He walked quietly as he reached the final room. But he didn''t opened the door. He suddenly made a hand signal. Just after that, two arrows around his feet. He was giving Yanyu the signal. After getting her feedback, he was going to enter the room, when suddenly-" Since you havee, Don''t hide anymore." A voice sounded behind the door. Yang Shi suddenly felt his muscle became tense as he jumped backward.

    *BOOOOM* The door burst apart a terrifying red light assaulted Yang Shi. Yang Shi channeled Gold Devil Body and ming Shield to its limit, but still got blown by the impact. Yang Shi mmed back on the wall as he spurted a mouthful of blood. He saw a man wearing a beast fur coating out from the room. His broadsword was glowing with a malicious red light. " So you are Guo Chun. You are indeed very powerful. Yang Shi wiped his blood from his mouth." Heh, Scums of Blood Moon Hall really came. You guys really managed to block the Heaven Protection guild. Unfortunately, You will die by my hands now." Guo Chun sneered as he shed at Yang Shi. Yang Shi used his sword to block that attack.

    " Hah, Let''s see how can you block. Monster ying Chop!" Guo Chun roared as a powerful aura erupted from his body. Yang Shi used his sword to block his chop. Yang Shi felt a mountain has crashed above him. Yang Shi''s defense crumbled but he still withstood the impact. " Moonlight sh!" Yang Shi didn''t hesitate as he made the attack. Guo Chun sneered as he swung his broadsword. Yang Shi''s Moonlight sh was blocked by him. Yang Shi''s face turned grim. It seems he really underestimated Guo Chun. " Fuck, Only if I am also at the seventh stage." Yang Shi cursed in his heart.

    " Heh, Brat, You really have potential. Too bad, you are going to die today." Guo Chunughed as he swung his broadsword again. Yang hi chuckled as he activated his Starlight Burst. His figure disappeared as Guo Chun''s shnded on empty space. " What?" Guo Chun became startled as he felt a murderous auraing from his back. He bent his body as he collided with Yang Shi''s longsword. Then, he gathered force in his left arm and threw a punch at Yang Shi. Yang Shi grimaced as he jumped backward.

    " Damn, Using longsword in closebat is disadvantageous. Only if I had some good daggers." Yang Shi sighed. " This is all you can do?" Guo Chun sneered. Yang Shi smiled helplessly as he shot a fireball to the ceiling. It broke the roof and soared to the sky. " Hah, What are yo-" Guo Chun felt something wrong when suddenly, with a whistling noise, an arrow pierced his waist.

 Chapter 151: Killing Guo Chun (3)

    Chapter 151: Killing Guo Chun (3)

    Yang Shi''s smile grew wide as looked at the arrow that pierced the waist of Guo Chun. It was none other than his Spirit ying arrow. " Goddamn, I hate those hidden archers." Guo Chu''s face twisted with pain as he pulled out the arrow. Yang Shi''s smile froze as he saw a pale yellow armor appeared beneath Guo Chun''s cloth. Sure, A Spirit ying arrow can deliver a fatal injury to a Pinnacle Eight stage Cultivator, but only if he wasn''t wearing the armor of Middle tier Spirit grade or above. " Motherfucker, I have enough of this. I have to finish quickly." Yang Shi couldn''t help but curse loud. This damned person is even hiding an armor. Nheless, He was still injured by the arrow.

    Earlier, Yang Shi had given a signal to Yanyu for attacking Guo Chun. Originally, It was supposed to Lu Xiao and Yang Shi joining hands to kill Guo Chun. But due to some reason, Lu Xiao couldn''t reach in time, so Yang Shi had to use his backup n. Thankfully, Damaging the walls around him gave Yanyu a better scope of firing. Yang Shi didn''t want to miss this chance as used his Starlight Burst to the maximum. " Moonlight sh!" Yang Shi roared as he attacked Guo Chun. " What?!!!" Guo Chun became startled as he roared and used his broadsword to block it. " Hah, Not this time." Yang Shi snorted. Guo Chun has already seen the Moonlight sh of Yang Shi. It created a crescent of silver light with unimaginable sharpness. Guo Chun blocked it, only to see another crescenting behind it.

    After fighting with Guo Chun, Yang Shi resorted to trickery. His first Moonlight sh was nothing but an image created by condensation of spiritual qi. Due to the injury and fear of a lurking archer. Guo Chun''s alertness would be high. So, He couldn''t able to discern the fake from the truth. After blocking the first sh, he was defenseless for a moment, and it was the perfect time to deliver his true Moonlight sh. " I guess, I have to advance quickly and train more. I must learn the Intent of Sword." Yang Shi muttered. Guo Chun''s eyes grew wide as he saw the Moonlight sh closed to his neck.

    " If I am going to die, I will also drag you along with me." Guo Chun roared maniacally. Yang S hi''s face changed drastically as he saw Guo Chun put down all of his defense and threw a punch at him. " Death Arc Fist." His veins popped out as Guo Chun coughed a mouthful of blood. The Moonlight sh descended on his neck as his head sent flying. But his body remained to charge at Yang Shi and punched him on his chest. Yang Shi had already prepared his ming Shield, but it broke by the punch and sent him flying.

    Yang Shi coughed a mouthful of blood as he felt his internal organ has be mush. Blood flowed from his mouth, he was barely able to open his eyes. It seems it was a self-destruction technique of Guo Chun. Yang Shi hurriedly withdraw a bottle of healing pills and ate several of them. But it only healed a part of his injuries. Nheless, It gave Yang Shi mobility. " Damn you, Lu Xiao. If you can''t give me a proper reason, I will skin you after I go back." Yang Shi cursed in his heart.

    But suddenly, his eyes narrowed as he saw a red colored arrow shooting in the sky. It was the signal of retreat. Yang Shi''s body trembled as he felt several powerful auras are closing by. His Celestial View can epass kilometers of regions, so his senses are very acute. As he was about to leave, he saw Shen Yanyu suddenly came there. " What is the situation?" Yang Shi asked in a stern tone. Yanyu was rummaging through the room as she replied, " It seems their reinforcement ising." " Then what the hell are you doing here?"

    Yang Shi couldn''t help but shout in annoyance. " I am trying to find his ount book, If you can''t help me and go away." Yanyu snapped back. " Damn, Let me help you." Yang Shi breathed deeply as he used his Celestial View to scan the room. But he couldn''t find any traces of the ount book. As he was going to tell Yanyu, with a sudden thought, he scanned the room again. This time he searched for spiritual fluctuations.

    As expected, he found a weak spiritual qi movement near the cupboard. " There! I feel something is there." Yang Shi suddenly shouted. Yanyu became surprised as she went to the cupboard. Sure enough, it was covered by a concealment rune. After destroying the rune, a bookshelf appeared there. Yanyu hurriedly collected them and threw a meaningful nce at Yang Shi. Then she turned around and left quickly.

    Yang Shi chased his wandering thoughts as he activated Starlight Burst without any hesitation. His figure blinked as he disappeared in the darkness. Moving rapidly, he saw another figure close to him. Yang Shi didn''t startle as he remembered his aura. He was no other than Lu Xiao. But currently, his body was emitting a ck gas as his legs resembled the leg of a panther. Clearly, He was using the ability of his Primordial Spirit, Nether Gale Panther.

    " Brother Lu, It seems your situation isn''t good also." Yang Shi said with a twitching face. " Fuck those Crimson Wolf bastards and Heaven Protection Guild. They actually lurking in the darkness. Moreover, I feel a familiar aura chasing us. It must be someone from the direct faction of Second Prince." Lu Xiao cursed. " Damn, So they were really trying to trap Blood Moon assassins." Yang Shi couldn''t help but feel vexed. " Well, Because Blood Moon Hall has been killing people from Second Prince''s side,tely, so naturally he wanted to take revenge." Lu Xiaoughed wryly.

    " What now? I feel they are closing to us rapidly. Eight Stage? Ninth Stage or Half Step Violet Pce Expansion Realm?" yang Shi asked hurriedly. " Three Eighth stage and one Ninth stage." Lu Xiao replied. " Guess, We have to scatter. I believe everyone has their trump cards." Shen Yanyu suddenly said. Yang Shi red at her. Sure, You are from some mysterious background and Lu Xiao is the steward of the First Prince, But what about me? I am just a poor naive kid who is walking on the wrong path, Yang Shi cursed in his mind. Nheless, He still agreed to the idea.

    " Alright, Let''s meet up in Old Ghost''s residence tomorrow." Yang Shi said. The trio nodded as they went in three separate directions. Yang Shi used the Starlight Bust to quickly escape from there. Moreover, he was also trying to push it to the limits and reach the Initial Completion stage. As long as he reached the Initial Completion Stage of Starlight Burst, Even Violet Pce Expansion Realm expert would find Yang Shi as a slippery loach.

    Yang Shi suddenly felt the aura chasing him hase closer. " Hmm, From its looks, It might be the Eighth Stage cultivator. Heh, Let''s see if you can catch me." Yang Shi wanted to reach Firmament City asap. He was still injured and needs to get healed. " I need to get a Blood Restoration Pill. I can easily get it in Mo n manor or Golden Fire Tower. After a while, he finally reached the City entrance. Of course, he sneaked through the wall. Then he quickly washed his disguise, stored away his sword and pulled out the Heaven lmity saber. His aura and demeanor changed drastically, not resembling his assassin self anymore.

 Chapter 152: Passionate Night

    Chapter 152: Passionate Night

    There are various kinds of healing pills on the market. Yang Shi had only basic healing pills, which are grade one pills. Blood Restoration pill is a grade two healing pill. It can instantly heal both external and internal wounds. It can also stop any kind of infection. Of course, Grade two healing pills are not cheap. One bottle of pills can be sold for more than a hundred thousand gold coins. Each bottle has five Blood Restoration Pill. Then, there is a pill called the Golden Revolving pill, which can regrow someone''s cut off limbs. It''s a grade three pill. There is also the legendary Life Rejuvenation pill, which can heal a person even if 90% of their body got destroyed.

    Of course, due to Yang Shi''s powerful physique, He can still suppress injuries for an extended period of time. A hundred thousand gold coins are nothing for Yang Shi. After reverting back to his original appearance, He changed his robe as he circled a few times in the alley as he rushed to the Golden Fire Tower. Using his excellent method, he deceived his pursuers. After taking out his badge, Yang Shi swiftly entered the Golden Fire Tower and went to the treasure hall. " I want a bottle of Blood Restoning Pill." Yang Shi asked calmly. " 75 credit points." The old man said. Yang Shi showed him his badge, the old man deducted his points and gave him a white bottle. He has more than 500 credit points, so he couldn''t bother by it.

    Yang Shi nodded as he took the bottle and went back to his cabin. He popped three pills in his mouth. Suddenly, a burning sensation spread from his stomach as Yang Shi absorbed the medicinal properties of the pill. His dantian wasrger than normal people, so refining three pills at the same time isn''t a problem for him. His wounds healed rapidly as he exhaled a turbid air. Just in half an hour, his wounds are almost healed. Yang Shi stretched his body was his bone emitted cracking sounds. " Man, I almost underestimated the danger of this mission. A random mercenary leader is also a powerful Eighth stage cultivator. Gold Moon rank assassination mission is really difficult. No wonder assassin create groups for it."

    Yang Shi looked at the sky outside. It''s almost midnight. He rubbed his palm as he thought, " Night is still long. Shouldn''t I go back to Bai Ruxue?" He chuckled in his heart as he went back to Mo n manor. Somehow, He was feeling more nervous than he was on an assassination mission. " Well, What''s there to be afraid of?" Yang Shi shouted at himself. He went to his own room. He slowly opened the door. He became startled as he saw Bai Ruxue sat on a chair with a half dozing face. " You are still awake?" Yang Shi asked with a soft voice. Bai Ruxue became startled as she looked at Yang Shi. She hurriedly stood up, " Young Master, I thought you woulde early. But since you didn''t, I chose to wait." She said.

    Yang Shi sighed lightly. Who wouldn''t want to have such a beautiful, caring, and loving woman as theirpanion? He suddenly pulled Bai Ruxue by her waist and gave a kiss on her lips. Bai Ruxue didn''t resist as she stood there calmly, letting Yang Shi''s tongue coiled around her tongue.

    After a minute Yang Shi finally stopped as he whispered in her ears, " I will make your breakthrough to Primordial Spirit Realm tonight."

    Bai Ruxue became startled as her most anticipated moment finally came.

    Staying beside Yang Shi, she also longed of gaining such power. She still remembered how her family was massacred. She clenched her first as she vowed to never remain weak. Only being strong, she will able to stay at Yang Shi''s side, or else, she would be a burden for him. " I am ready for this." Bai Ruxue nodded with determination. Yang Shi nodded, " Now as I say. First, Remove all Spiritual qi from your body." Bai Ruxue became confused but she did what Yang Shi said.

    Actually, to break through to the next realm, one needs to concentrate spiritual qi in their dantian, but Yang Shi was telling to do the opposite. But of course, He has his own reason. To morph Bai Ruxue''s Pure Yin Maide Physique into Nine Yin Empyrean Physique, he needs to deplete her Spiritual qi and Primal Yin qi. Bai Ruxue sat in a meditative position as he expelled spiritual qi from her body. " Now, channel the Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art and gather Jade Yin qi in your dantian." Bai Ruxue nodded as she did the same. Yang Shi activated his Celestial View as he looked at her. Now, he can see wisps of ck smokes intertwined with green threads.

    Not bad, Yang Shi thought. Then with a flick, he took out Darkswamp spirit fruit and passed to Bai Ruxue. " While using your cultivation technique, Eat this fruit and refine its energy." Yang Shi instructed. After Bai Ruxue finished eating the fruit, she suddenly felt the Yin qi of her body increased at an rming rate. " Now, Chant the incantation of the thirdyer of your technique and do three small and one great cirction." Yang Shi hastily said. Yang Shi saw the ck and green aura around Bai Ruxue''s body mixed with each other. But suddenly, the ck aura exploded around her body.

    Bai Ruxue''s face turned red as she looked at Yang Shi with gleaming eyes. Yang Shi nodded as he understood what''s happening. To create Nine Yin Empyrean Physique, she needs to break her Pure Yin Maiden Physique. After breaking it, her Primal Yin qi would reach a critical point. It would increase her carnal desires to the maximum. If she doesn''t get a powerful Yang qi, her body would explode on the spot.

    " Young Master...I feel my body heating up. Can I...remove my clothes?" Bai Ruxue said in an intoxicated tone. Yang Shi couldn''t help but a mouthful of saliva. " As for thest stage, Umm... We have to do it." Yang Shi said in an embarrassing tone. Bai Ruxue closed her eyes as she suddenly hugged Yang Shi and softly whispered, " I am yours, Young master. Do as you like."

    " Then allow me." Yang Shi closed his eyes as he pulled out the purest Yang qi from his Nine Saints Extreme Yang skeleton and gathered in his dantian. He felt his body bing hot as Yang energy is hot in general. Yang Shi slowly removed his robes as he looked at Bai Ruxue, Compared to him, Bai Ruxue was wilder. She directly ripped her clothes, exposing her milky white skin. Yang Shi quickly took off her bra, letting two white rabbits jumped out from it. After their first meeting, Yang Shi never saw Bai Ruxue''s bare body. He couldn''t help but gulp a mouthful of saliva.

    Yang Shi felt the Crimson Lily in his dantian became activated, making Yang Shi lose in lust. Yang Shi''s little brother was already stiff as it stood erect. Bai Ruxue wrapped her arms around Yang Shi''s shoulder as she pulled his over. " Ruxue, Be conscious, ok? You can''t lose yourself to your desires." Yang Shi softly said. " En, It''s just...feeling weird." Bai Ruxue said with heavy breathing. " Young master, It''s getting unbearable." Bai Ruxue said. " Um, Let''s get started." Yang Shi nodded as he kissed her. Their body entangled as they rolled on the bed, passionately kissing each other. [ No, no, Author isn''t crying- It''s just some fuckin onion. :'')]

    Yang Shi felt his body is melting from pleasure in the embrace of Bai Ruxue. His rod was bing stiffer and stiffer as Bai Ruxue''s chest got pressed by him. Yang Shi''s evil hand slipped between her thighs as he fiddled in herher region. But his method was pretty crude as he was a noob. He rubbed it gently, making Bai Ruxue''s body tremble in pleasure. " Yes, Stroke it. It''s...feeling itchy." She panted lowly.

    Yang Shi felt her fingers became moist as he smelled a strange smell. " Ehh, Young master...." Bai Ruxue gasped as her face turned red. She felt something leaking from there. " En, It''s a natural reaction." Yang Shi coughed. " I am going to insert it. Yang Shi said. Bai Ruxue nodded. Being a nobledy, she knew about the little affairs between men and women. She heard that its painful at first, but slowly it feels good.

    Suddenly, she felt something huge big, and stiff thing poking her secret garden. She was about to say something as she felt that thing finally entered inside her. " Eh? Ah!" Bai Ruxue suddenly eximed as she felt a sting of paining from her lower body. " Ouch ouch! Young Master! It''s hurting. It''s big! I don''t think it will fit- AHH!" Bai Ruxue began to panic as she suddenly cried. *PA* With a muffled sound, Yang Shi fully inserted his thing in her. Before Bai Ruxue could shout more, Yang S hi sealed her mouth with his lips.

    Blood dripped from her lower region as Yang Shi kissed her. He became worried as tears trickled down from her eyes. " Is-is it''s hurting that much?" This time, It''s Yang Shi who became nervous. Due to having no experience in this field, he was pretty afraid to mess up things, which might hurt Bai Ruxue. " Uhh..." Bai Ruxue muttered, but her limbs are already wrapped around Yang Shi''s body like an octopus. " Umm...If it''s ufortable, Should I take it out?" Yang Shi said after a minute of silence.

    *Pfttt* Bai Ruxue, who was dealing with the strange mixture of pain couldn''t help butughed. She thought Yang Shi was messing with her. After all, Who say such things after going so far. But it lessened her pain a bit. " You can move." Bai Ruxue nodded. Yang Shi also nodded as he began to move his waist forward and backward. The room was filled with the low moaning of a tender woman and panting of a man.

 Chapter 153: Immemorial Evil Yin Vein

    Chapter 153: Immemorial Evil Yin Vein

    *PIAK PIAK PIAK PIAK* Muffled sounds of flesh colliding sounded as Yang Shi vigorously thrust his weapon inside Bai Ruxue. " Ah, Ahn, ah..." Bai Ruxue moaned continuously, making Yang Shi even more thrilled. It waspletely a new experience for both of them. Bai Ruxue couldn''t help but gasp for breath. She was feeling both pain and pleasure as she was about to lose her in it. " Ah- Young Master, I- Ahnnn!" Bai Ruxue moaned cutely.

    " Brat! HEY!." Yang Shi was enjoying the process as a shout came into his mind. Yang Shi came back to his sense, " You damned brat! You are supposed to helping her, not just fucking her aimlessly. If you do things like this, her Pure Yin body will materialize and she will lose all of her cultivation or even her life." Samsara Emperor scolded Yang Shi. " I..." Yang Shi couldn''t help but feel vexed. This feeling was simply wonderful, but he was his own work to get done.

    " Ruxue, Now circte your cultivation technique and push all the Yin energy to me." Yang Shi said as he kissed her. Unknowingly to him, a crimson ring appeared on his back as Yang Shi felt he has be a vacuum, sucking Bai Ruxue''s Jade Yin qi. Yang Shi felt a surge of cold energy spread through his body as he absorbed Bai Ruxue''s exploding Yin energy. Suddenly, he felt the cold energy gathering in his dantian as his eyes became deep azure. He felt a refreshing coolness as the Azure Lotus slowly unfurled in his dantian, giving an azure radiance.

    Suddenly, He felt his veins contracted as heart lurching pain came from his chest. Yang Shi felt his vein might get ripped apart as they became abnormally cold, like having icicles inside your body. Without knowing, Yang Shi increased his movement speed, which made Bai Ruxue ufortable. She felt her body was losing something which made her face pale. Yang Shi''s absorption of the Yin qi became faster as he felt a strange power growing inside him rapidly.

    *CRACK CRACK CRACK* With a crisp sound, Yang Shi''s body emitted a cracking sound as his Eight Mysterious Meridian, which remained blocked all the time, slowly began to open. Yang Shi became surprised as she didn''t notice Bai Ruxue''s worsening condition. " You fucking fool! Don''t let your mind wander. Control the Yin qi and after awakening, the Eight Mysterious Meridian, give Bai Ruxue your Yang qi!" Samsara Emperor shouted again. Yang Shi hurriedly nodded.

    " Ah, Ahnn, Youngmaster, I am about toe." Bai Ruxue panted. " Yes, Let''s do it together." Yang Shi panted heavily as his body trembled. Bai Ruxue''s eyes closed as pleasure flooded through her body, She felt Yang Shi''s hot essence filling her womb. Red and White liquid came out from her lower region. Yang Shi didn''t take out his thing but lifted Bai Ruxue as he sat up. Bia Ruxue startled by the sudden movement of Yang Shi as his thing went even deeper into her.

    " Now, focus on refining both my Yang qi and Jade Yinqi at the same time as you charge to the Fourthyer of Jade Empyrean Heavenly Technique." Yang Shi said. He himself closed his eyes as he checked to his Eight Mysterious Meridian. These blocked meridians were actually the legendary Immemorial Evil Yin Veins. After devouring the pure Yin qi of Bai Ruxue, he finally awakened it. To his astonishment, these veins became pitch ck as they wrapped themselves around his radiant skeleton.

    Yang Shi felt his Azure Lotus was invigorated by the awakening of His Immemorial Evil Yin vein. He felt his connection with it became stronger than ever. Before today, his Crimson Lily was more powerful as it showed signs to suppress the Azure Lotus, but now, The Lotus has be powerful equal to the Crimson Lily. Yang Shi suddenly had a thought as he used his Divine Art of TaiChi. Within a minute, ck and white gas intertwined in his Dantian. Two ck and white koi fish began to swim in a circr manner.

    Yang Shi became thrilled as, before today, he couldn''t able to produce such a dense amount of Yin qi in his body. It seems his Immemorial Evil Yin Veins granted him a powerful Yin physique. The rotation of the koi fishes became faster and faster, epassing his whole dantian. But suddenly, Yang Shi''s face became surprised as he noticed a forgotten thing in his dantian. It was none other than the octagon pendant, which was in the middle of the rotation koi fish diagram. Even after bing a cultivator, he couldn''t able to bring it out from his dantian.

    However, this time, it suddenly emitted a dull light as it suddenly began to suck the Yin and Yang koi fish. Yang Shi used his TaiChi are even more and produced even more Yin-Yang energy, But the pendant was like a bottomless pit, constantly devouring both of the qi. After a while, The pendant became calm again and stopped absorbing any more qi. Yang Shi became disappointed as he still couldn''t able to bring it out from his dantian.

    " Damn, After eating so much energy, you went back to sleep?" Yang Shi couldn''t help butugh bitterly. But to his surprise, His cultivation has risen more than half. Yang Shi became confident about breaking through into the Eighth stage in one go. He opened his eyes as he looked at Bai Ruxue. She sat on Yang Shi''sp, with her legs wrapping around his waist, Yang Shi could see her bountiful breasts, but chose not to disturb her, as she was cultivating. He could see that her cultivation was rising tremendously. From the Ninth stage of Spiritual Ascension Realm to the Second Stage of Primordial Spirit realm, she broke through in one go.

    This was expected, as Yang Shi told her to suppress her spiritual qi from advancing. Now adding her special Jade Yin qi, she already has said the foundation of Nine Yin Heavenly Physique. So such cultivation speed was natural for her. After a while, Bai Ruxue opened her eyes as she saw Yang Shi''s face close to her. Then she realized her awkward position as she tried to stand up. But suddenly, the pain came from her lower abdomen as her face contorted a bit. Yang Shi understood as he pulled out his rod.

    " It''s still standing?" Bai Ruxue''s face turned strange as she looked at junior Yang Shi. Although it wasn''t hard as a rock, Bai Ruxue felt it still had strength for another round. " Ehh, Don''t worry about it. Now, Let''s wash ourselves." Yang Shi shook his head. Although doing sex gives a heavenly pleasure, Yang Shi felt since it''s Bai Ruxue''s first time, he must not be hasty about it. After all, She is Yang Shi''s woman, so there would be plenty of time in the future.

    Bai Ruxue nodded as she stood up, but she felt her legs has be soft as jelly she lost her bnce. Yang Shi caught her by her waist as he carried her like a princess. " Is it still hurting there?" yang Shi asked worriedly. " No, It''s fine now." Bai Ruxue''s face blushed as she buried her head in Yang Shi''s shoulders. Yang Shiughed as he carried her to the bathroom. After washing, both of them came back wearing simple bathrobes. Since the bed was in aplete mess, Yang Shi changed the bedsheets to a new one as they fell asleep. Although they are cultivators, being their first time, they are pretty tired.

    ............................................

    Mo Yi was in a happy mood as everything was going ording to his n. After defeating Liu Jie, he felt he has soared to the nine skies. " The heck, Today is the day of celebration. I should call brother Yang and go to the Hundred Flower Pavilion." Mo Yi smacked his lips. Since he couldn''t touch Liu Jie now, he was going to vent his inner fire in Hundred Flower Pavilion. As he was going to call Yang Shi, he suddenly stopped as he heard some muffled noise.

    " Ahh, Ahnn! YoungMaster! Be gentle!"

    " Ahh, Yes, Ruxue! Is it good now?"

    Mo Yi''s face turned ck as he felt his mind went haywire. " Fuck! Brother Yang is enjoying with Sister Bai. Guess, He has no time today. Sigh, Only if Liu Jie was also like Sister Bai..." Mo Yi let out a sigh as he felt staying there any longer would be hical. So he left hurriedly.

 Chapter 154: Thoughtful Mo Yi

    Chapter 154: Thoughtful Mo Yi

    *Yawn." Yang Shi stretched his body as he woke up. He felt his body became invigorated than ever. " Eh?" Yang Shi saw Bai Ruxue''s back in front of her. She was looking at the mirror as she was dressing. Her clothes were rippedst night, so she was sleeping with that loose bathrobe. Yang Shi smiled as he grabbed her from behind. " Mmm." Bai Ruxue smiled sweetly as he looked at Yang Shi''s reflection. " Ruxue looks even more charming than before. I guess those young masters of the capital would be mad over your beauty." Yang Shi chuckled. Indeed, after reaching the Fourthyer of Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art, Bai Ruxue was filled with a charming aura, like a fresh lotus in the pond.

    " Bai Ruxue shall be forever the sole property of young master Yang." Bai Ruxue said with a firm voice. " Mm, For your answer, How about this young master give you a generous reward?" Yang Shi smiled evilly as his hands crept to her breast as he began to fondle them. " Ah! No1 Young master, It''s still morning." Bai Ruxue''s face was flustered. As Yang Shiughed at it, a sudden knock on the door startled him

    " Ahem, I wonder if Brother Yang is busy now?" Mo Yi coughed. Yang Shi hurriedly let go of Bai Ruxue as he red at Mo Yi. " Ah, Brother Mo should have knocked beforehand. I never thought you have a hobby to barge into the room?" Yang Shi''s face twitched violently. Thank god, He was just teasing Bai Ruxue. What would have happened if he was really in an awkward position? Bai Ruxue''s face became red like a tomato as she pinched Yang Shi''s waist out of rage. " Ah, No, no, Brother is misunderstanding me." Mo Yi coughed awkwardly.

    " I wonder if you want to have breakfast with me and, Liu Jie?"

    " Well, now you asked me. I am kinda hungry. Let''s go." Yang Shi nodded. The trio went to the dining room where Liu Jie sat elegantly. The four youngsters sat there and began to chat happily. But Yang Shi could feel Mo Yi was acting a little strange. Then, the servants came and served rows of dishes. But suddenly, after looking at the dishes, Yang Shi''s face turned strange. " Hundred Year Blood Lingzhi soup, Meat of Golden Water Turtle, Spirit soil Rice, and Vitality Chicken Broth?" Liu Jie became surprised as she asked, " Eh? Why there are so much rich dishes today? Hmm, The Blood Lingzhi soup isn''t bad, it can restore vitality and vigor."

    Finally, Yang Shi came to his senses as he saw Mo Yiughing secretly. " En, I guess, Brother Yang was working hard these days. Moreover, eating such dishes in a while isn''t bad." Mo Yi coughed dryly. " I see, Brother Mo is very experienced in these things." Yang Shi snorted. " It seems, Brother Mo really knows how to take care of flowers." " Well, This brother is a veteran, How can I not know?" Mo Yi cackled. The twodies couldn''t help but stare nkly at the duo. " Sister Ruxue, What is the thing they are talking about?" Liu Jie asked with a curious tone. Bai Ruxue had some vague guess, but she didn''t dare to say it. After all, She has spent time in Hundred Flower Pavilion, so she knew quite a bit.

    " Eh? Why are you blushing?" Liu Jie felt it was odd. She was a puredy from an upper family, but she never had any knowledge regarding these things. But who was Mo Yi? The number one silk pant of Firmament City, the frequent visitor of Hundred Flower Pavilion. After knowing about the affairs of Bai Ruxue and Yang Shi, he specially prepared dishes which can boost blood vitality and strength. " This brother has enough strength for a battle of three thousand rounds. But well, Tasting such dishes aren''t bad." Yang Shiughed.

    "True true. You are the one who brewed Sublime Yang Elixir. How can your strengthck." Mo Yi alsoughed.

    After chatting for a while, They finally got up. Since today was the day they are going to leave, Liu Jie dragged Bai Ruxue to shopping. Yang Shi and Mo Yi were at loss. " We are going to the Capital. That ce is countless times better than here, yet you still want to shop here?" Mo Yi felt vexed. " Brother Mo, Women are the creature who loves to buy. Let''s not mule over such things." Yang Shi sighed. He also wanted to take his reward from the Old Ghost, so he also bade farewell to Mo Yi and rushed to Old Ghost''s courtyard.

    " Brat, You are quite early, eh? Seems allure of wealth is really strong." Old Ghost chuckled as he saw Yang Shi. " Hehe, isn''t it''s the thing cultivator pursue?" Yang Shi giggled. " So, Where are my spirit stones?" YangShi''s face turned grave. " Well, Although Shen Yanyu has agreed, what about Lu Xiao?" Old Ghost asked. " First- I helped him in the forest of Eastern Mountain. Second, He didn''t help me in the battle with Guo Chun. I don''t care which powerhouse he was fighting with, but in the end, it can be considered as a change of n. So, he should give me his share as well." YangShi shrugged.

    " Seems, You have nned all this beforehand. Anyway, here it is." Old Ghost sighed as he produced two shiny things. Yang Shi suddenly grabbed it like the most precious thing in the world. There are two small crystals, emitting fain fluctuation. " Bahahaha, My spirit stones!" Yang Shi eximed as he had found the most precious thing in the world. Old Ghost couldn''t help but gave a look of disdain. Yang Shi noticed that and snickered, " How can you rich people can understand the misery of the poor?" Old Ghost became speechless as he didn''t refute.

    " Three important people of Second Prince''s faction have arrived in the city. You should be careful of them." Old Ghost said. " Haha, Is there any rtions between Master cksmith Yang Shi and the infamous Evil Shadow?" Yang Shi couldn''t help but snort. " You should not underestimate their tracking ability, though your disguise is very good." Old Ghost nodded. " Ah, do you know that there was a Heaven Protection Guild member when we are on the mission? Kek, I even snatched his four rune tes." Yang Shiughed.

    " He wasn''t the only one. Lu Xiao was precisely fighting another person of Heaven Protection Guild, thus unable to help you." Old Ghost sighed. " It seems you really leeched off all of his wealth." He couldn''t help but chuckle. Just losing his four rune tes is enough to drive him crazy. " Unfortunately, I have damaged the rune tes a bit. But it''s only minor damage so I would be able to fix it in a few days." " En, Moreover, Shen Yanyu asked you to make another five Spirit ying Arrows." Old Ghost said.

    ...............................................

    Yang Shi returned to Mo n estate happily as he saw Bia Ruxue sat silently in that room. Yang Shi felt something was amiss, " Ruxue, What happened? Why are you sitting like that?"

    " Ah, Young Master! Umm..." Bai Ruxue hesitated a bit as she continued, " When I went shopping with Sister Liu, suddenly, I saw Sister Shan." Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as he felt something was wrong. " She asked me toe to Hundred Flower Pavilion today, along with you."

 Chapter 155: Second Princes maid

    Chapter 155: Second Prince''s maid

    Hearing about the n of the Hundred Flower Pavilion, Yang Shi''s brows couldn''t help but raise. Why did they suddenly ask Bai Ruxue toe there with me? Suddenly, Yang Shi remembered that the Intelligent Princess Xia Rong already knew that Bai Ruxue possessed Pure Yin Maiden body, could it be that? Yang Shi felt something strange happening there, Nheless, Yang Shi was interested. " I see. Wait for an hour, and we will go there." Yang Shi thought and said. He went to his room and took out a spirit stone.

    " Hmm, One hour should be enough." Yang Shi mumbled as he began to absorb spiritual qi from the spirit stone. After the awakening of his Immemorial Evil Yin, his meridians are like rivers, connected with each other and merging in his ocean like Dantian. The density of spiritual qi increased in his body as his absorption speed became greater. A crimson ring appeared behind him silently. *BOOM* After an hour, with a boom, Yang Shi finally reached the Seventh stage. His spiritual qin in his dantian has increased in both quality and quantity.

    Yang Shi felt surprised that after his Eight Mysterious Meridian, his other meridians has bing pitch ck. Albeit the process was slow, he could still tell that. " Ah! No wonder. The Eight Mysterious Meridan previously where all the Yin vein''s power was lurking. After opening them, they are slowly turning all of my meridians into Immemorial Evil Yin Vein." He thought of this and smiled. Based on his observation, the awakening of this special vein has already given him the power to manipte Yin qi. Moreover, these meridians and many times sturdier than regr meridians. If Yang Shi practices any technique with violent spiritual qi nature, his Yin meridians can easily withstand the impact.

    Yang Shi felt more confident after breaking through the Seventh stage. Unfortunately, the spirit stone had already lost its light and crumbled to dust. " Fuck, The consumption rate is too high." Yang Shi clicked his tongue. But at least, he had reached the middle realm of the Seventh stage with the amount of spiritual qi in the spirit stone. He dressed up elegantly as went to Bai Ruxue, " Now, We can go." Bai Ruxue nodded as she went with him.

    A handsome youngster with unusual purple eyes and ck hairs with a tint of azure, along with ady with a graceful aura and unmatched beauty, making a perfect couple. The men on the street could help but sigh in admiration. Slowly, they reached Hundred Flower Pavilion. Since it''s still daytime, it looked very deserted. People looking at Yang Shi with weird eyes as he entered. After all, who goes to such a ce with their women?

    " Wee, Young Noble Yang. You are truly punctual as the sun." Xian Ring came to greet Yang Shi after he had entered. " Haha, Sister Xia is also growing beautiful day by day." Yang Shi praised. Even though Xia Rong is still wearing a veil, her beauty isn''t something hidden by it. " Aiya, You areplementing thisdy, Sister Bai might be jealous." Xia Rongughed slightly. " I am only the servant of Young Master Yang, why should I be jealous if he gets another woman?" Bai Ruxue said with a calm face.

    Xia Rong became startled as he looked at Bai Ruxue. In her eyes, Bai Ruxue has transformed greatly. When she came here first, she looked nothing more than a haggard girl with no will to live. Now, she held a noble and graceful demeanor and looked more beautiful than before. " Haha, I wonder Sister Xia would let her guest keep standing outside." Yang Shi chuckled. " It''s my honor to attend Young Noble Yang. This way, please." Xia Rong led them to the inner hall.

    Yang Shi entered the room but he got startled as he saw anotherdy sitting there. She looked like a maturedy, in her mid-twenties. Her body was curvaceous but also a bit muscr. She wasn''t white like milk, but healthy wheat color. With sparkling eyes and an eye-catching sword on her back, she looked like ady warrior. But what made Yang Shi surprised that she remembered her aura. Having reached the initialpletion of Celestial View, he is very sensitive to the aura of people.

    He remembered that this aura is the simr aura which he felt back while assassinating Guo Chun. Yang Shi also assessed that she is also at the peak of the Eighth stage, very close to breaking through the Ninth stage. It was one of the three pursuers who chased him, Lu Xiao and Shen Yanyu.

    However, Yang Shi felt thisdy''s strength isn''t simple at all. Thedy was sipping tea as she looked at Yang Shi. YangShi''s eyes narrowed as he could see thatdy looked at him with some maliciousness. " Could it be she is suspecting I am the Evil Shadow?" YangShi thought but shook his head. No, that would be impossible. Yang Shi sat down as she asked, " Sister Xia, who is this young miss?"

    " She...She is the First Princess of Hundred Flower Pavilion- Shao Zhu." Xia Rong said with a light tone. " Vermilion Princess Shao Zhu? My my, It seems my luck is extremely good, to able to meet Miss Shao." Yang Shi cupped his fists as he spoke in a respectable tone. " Haha, Young Noble Yang is sure a smooth talker." Shao Zhu said with a light tone, but one could find a trace of contempt in it.

    " If I am not a smooth talker, how can I woodies?" Yang Shiughed.

    " Well, Since we have enough pleasantries, now let''se to business." Yang Shi''s smile vanished as it was reced with solemness. " Indeed, I like Young Noble''s attitude. Let''s be frank, You have something which His Highness Second Prince needs, so I came here to retrieve it." Shao Zhu''s face turned serious. " Fuck, I was right." yang Shi sneered in his heart. " Let''s see how can you beat me in this game."

    " Ahaha, How can this humble one possess such a thing which can even attract His Highness?" Yang Shi chuckled. " Really? I thought you already knew about it." Shao Zhu snorted as she looked at Bai Ruxue. " Name your price." Shao Zhu said with an authoritative tone. " If Miss doesn''t borate, Then I can only remain silent." Yang Shi shrugged. " You..." Shao Zhu''s face turned angry, but she quicklyposed herself. " Very well, Allow me to borate. Our Highness has taken fancy to this youngdy and wish to let her join under him. I heard you have bought her as your maid, so, name your price and release her." Shao Zhu said.

    " HAHAHAHA!" Yang Shiughed loudly as he put his hands on his stomach, heughed very loudly. Looking at himughing, Shao Zhu and Xia Rong became ufortable. " Oh heavens, Miss Shao is truly entertaining." Yang Shiughed as he said. " What do you mean?" Shao Zhu''s asked angrily. " Let me ask you, Imagine someone sells you some vegetables. It looked fresh, so you bought it. Now, when you reach home, you realize it has been eaten by bugs, what will you feel?" Yang Shi asked. Shao Zhu''s couldn''t understand what Yang Shi is saying.

    " Miss thinks I have guts to sell bad vegetable to esteemed Second Prince? I never thought you want to bring Bai Ruxue, who already lost virginity and present her to His Highness." Yang Shi snorted. " You-" Shao Zhui stammered, but after a while, she still smiled, " Hah, Young Noble Yang sure knows how to joke. You know that she possesses Pure Yin Maiden Body, yet you dare to take her. If you had taken her Yin essence, she wouldn''t be standing here now." She snorted.

    " Pure Yin Maiden body? Ruxue, do you have such a secret?" Yang Shi looked back at Bai Ruxue and asked with extreme surprise. Bai Ruxue almost burstughing but suppressed it as she said, " Maid Ruxue also doesn''t know." " Young Noble doesn''t need to worry about that. I have a special treasure called Yin Chastity Pendant, which can answer all of our questions." Shao Zhu smiled. Yang Shi raised his hands as she allowed Shao Zhu. Shao Zhu quickly dropped the pendant around Bai Ruxue''s neck. Suddenly, the pendant glowed with a pink light.

    Shao Zhu''s eyes went wide as she saw the pink light. " Ho-How is this possible? Could it be the information is really wrong?" Shao Zhu muttered. She suddenly grabbed the hands of Bai Ruxue as she sent her spiritual qi in it. She saw Bai Ruxue was currently at the Second Stage of Primordial Spirit Realm. " Sister Xia, What was the cultivation of Ruxue when she came here?" Shao Zhi asked. " Sixth stage of Spiritual Ascension Realm." Xia Rong said. Shao Zhu''s face turned pale. " Haha, it seems someone tricked Lady Shao with false information. As I heard, after the union, the possessor of Pure Yin Maiden Body would have their cultivation stripped, and most of the time, they die. But Bai Ruxue doesn''t have such symptoms, so how can you say she has Pure Yin Maiden body?" Yang Shi sneered.

    Shao Zhu''s face turned ugly as she looked at yang Shi. She sighed and sat down. " I am sorry for the inconvenience, I hope Young Noble Yang doesn''t mind it." Xia Rong quickly said. " No no, I am more than willing to help His Highness, It''s just..." Yang Shi sighed. Bai Ruxue really wants to award Yang Shi for his acting skills. He acted like if Bai Ruxue really had Pure YinMaiden Body, he would personally gift her to Second Prince. " I heard Noble Yang is a rising Master cksmith. Our Highness loves talent, so if you ever want, you cane under us." Shao Zhu sipped tea elegantly as she said slowly.

    " This humble one is also traveling to the Captial in a few days. So, I would definitely visit Lady Shao." Yang Shi nodded. " But, I wonder how The Vermilion Princess is rted to His Highness?" Yang Shi probed. " I am no longer the Vermilion Princess. I am only a maidservant of His Highness Second Prince." Shao Zhu smiled. Yang Shi chuckled slightly, but he had myriads of thoughts inwardly.

    Chapter 156: Brutal little loli

    " Thisdy isn''t simple at all. Although she said she was just a maid of the Second Prince, her strength is far from above. To able to carry dangerous missions of Second Prince." Yang Shi was thinking in his heart. Fortunately, Yang Shi had broken her Pure Yin Maiden Body the night before, letting her Jade Empyrean Heavenly Technique a breakthrough. Now, until she reached the minorpletion stage. Before that, even an Origin Core Realm cultivator can''t tell that she posses Nine Yin Heavenly Physique.

    " Haha, Young Noble is very interesting. I know Highness Second Prince will appreciate your character." Shao Zhu smiled. " But Young Noble needs to be careful. Recently, Blood Moon Hall has be active and killing many talented individuals." her eyes narrowed slightly as she said. " Did she guess something?" Yang Shi''s heart thumped as he controlled his expression. " Haha, Those fuckers. I am not afraid at all." Yang Shiughed loudly as he grabbed his saber hilt on his back. " Noble Yang is filled with bravery. I hope to meet you in the capital." Shao Shi nodded as she stood up. " Now, allow thisdy to leave. Sister Xia, I hope you entertain Noble Yang."

    After she left, Yang Shi looked at Xia Rong and smirked, " I hope Yin Enchanting pill had brought you some fortune." Xia Rongughed as she said, " Indeed, Due to the generosity of Young Noble, My humble abode has earned quite a bit of sum. Even the Sublime Yang Elixir has be popr among men." " Haha, To take out a pill recipe for Ruxue, I don''t think it''s a bad deal." Yang Shi smiled. " Us courtesans'' lives are miserable. After all, we are just a bunch of pitifuldies trying to live with meager of art. Not everyone has the luck of Sister Ruxue, having a master like you." Xia Rong sighed.

    Yang Shi remained silent as he sipped a mouthful of tea. Bai Ruxue''s body trembled slightly as she looked at Yang Shi''s back. " So, I wonder about Lady Shao''s true intentions. I hope Sister Xia can give me some clues." Yang Shi tapped his fingers on the table. " Let me ask Young Noble, Does Bai Ruxue really doesn''t possess a Pure Yin Maiden body?" Xia Rong probed. " Sister Xia also thinks that? Hehe..." Yang Shiughed mysteriously. " She indeed had much pure Yin qi in her body. I also thought she had Pure Yin Maiden Body. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a hoax." Yang Shiughed bitterly. " Really?" Xia Rong raised her brows. " If not, Do you think I would be struck at the Seventh stage? With absorbing her Primal Yin qi, I would have broken through to the Ninth stage in one go." Yang Shi spat.

    " I understand. Pardon me for my curiosity." Xia Rong nodded. " Sister Shao indeed came here for Pure Yin Body. It was the order of the Second Prince after all." "How Sister Shao got attached to Second Prince? I mean, wasn''t she is the First Princess of Hundred Flower Pavilion?" Yang Shi asked. " Well, It''s not a secret, but I can only tell you that- Second Prince once saved her from death. From that moment, Sister Shao chose to follow him till her death." Xia Rong sighed.

    " Haha, I truly like her determination." Yang Shi smiled. " If there is nothing, shall we go back?" Yang Shi looked back at Bai Ruxue. " Ahaha, I apologize Young Noble, for wasting your precious time." Xia Rong stood up. " Who said my time got wasted? It''s very rare to see both Beauty Princess of Hundred Flower Pavilion." Yang Shi chuckled. " Aiiz, only if it was night. Sister Xia and I can spend the whole night, discussing the Four Arts and the mysteries of life."

    " Haha, Young Noble is too humble. Thisdy doesn''t dare topare her meager knowledge before Young Noble Yang." Xia Rong declined politely. " Well, That''s it. Bai Ruxue, Let''s return." Yang Shi stood up and cupped his fist. After they left, a ck shadow also left quietly. Yang Shi looked back at the mansion of the Hundred Flower Pavilion. A trace of ridicule could be found on his face. He could sense that a person was lurking while he was talking with Xia Rong. She was none other than Shao Zhu.

    " What a cunningdy." Yang Shi snorted as he continued walking. He wrapped his arms around Bai Ruxue''s waist as he walked like he knows nothing. Bai Ruxue blushed as she muttered, " Young Master, everyone is watching." " So what? You are my woman, Ruxue. Don''t care about people." Yang Shi chuckled. Bai Ruxue smiled as she gave a pinch on Yang Shi''s arm. As they were strolling down on the street, Yang Shi heard a group of people talking.

    " My God! That''s so vicious!" Someone eximed. " Well, That''s true. Purple Banner gang leader got his lower body destroyed brutally. Even all of his subordinates got killedst night. They say it was again the girl with the golden pupil." Someone lowered his voice. Yang Shi suddenly stopped as he listened more. The more he heard, the stranger his expression grew. They were talking about a little girl, around eight years old, with unusual golden eyes. She appeared a few days ago, roaming on the streets. She went to a restaurant to eat food, but she doesn''t have any money.

    Dou Ye (Ik its a strange name, but it''s just a npc), who was an infamous lustful bastard, paid money on behalf of the girl and took her with him, as he was helping her to find her parents. Everyone knows what he gonna do with the girl, but due to fear, the onlooker said nothing. A dayter, people saw a Dou Ye''s corpse hanging in the middle of the market, naked and with the bloodied crotch. The people felt someone with righteous intent finally decided to punish Dou Ye.

    But in a few days, three of such gangs and people got brutally killed, who are notorious for torturing girls, forcing them to be their ves. And anothermon thing, there is always the girl with golden pupil on the scene. Yang Shi wiped his sweat as he cursed in his mind, "Fuck! How can I forget about her?" As he guessed, the little girl was Jin Yu. " Hahaha, Fuck you, You bloody pedos. Who asked you to covet that little divine beast?" Yang Shiughed inside. That little girl got tricked by some bad uncles, but the ending was pretty different. In the end, those bad uncles are the ones who got rekt.

    Suddenly, Yang Shi felt the golden egg inside his dantian moved. He looked around but found nothing out of ordinary. " Young Master, What happened?" Bai Ruxue asked. " Eh, follow me. We are going to meet someone." Yang Shi activated his Celestial View as he followed a particr trail. After a while, they reached a restaurant. Yang Shi became speechless as he entered along with Bai Ruxue. He saw Jin Yu eating calmly, with loads of dishes in front of her. Yang Shi sat on the chair beside her and took a bite.

    Suddenly, Jin Yu pped Yang Shi''s palm like swatting away a fly as she coldly said, " Don''t touch my food." " Tsk tsk, Little Yu, aren''t going to give a little to your master?" Yang Shi teased. " No." Jin Yu replied sternly. Yang Shi could only sigh after hearing Jin Yu. After all, even he doesn''t dare to mess with this little loli. Jin Yu looked at Bai Ruxue as she was standing in front of her. " So you are Bai Ruxue?" She chuckled. Bai Ruxue was startled as she never met Jin Yu before. " Ahaha, Ruxue, she is Jin Yu. Uhh...My cousin." Yang hiughed dryly. Jin Yu couldn''t help but scoff.

 Chapter 157: Paltry Tricks

    Chapter 157: Paltry Tricks

    " Ah, so you are Young Master''s cousin." Bai Ruxue nodded. " But, have we met before?" She wondered. " Yes, It''s just that you haven''t seen me that time." Jin Yu chuckled slightly. Yang Shi wiped his sweat as he thanked Jin Yu for leaving him for the time being. If she stayed inside of her golden egg, she might have seen all the deeds that he and Ruxue did that night.

    " It seems you have made quite a ruckus." Yang Shiughed slightly. " You mean those pathetic bastards. Hmph! If not by ident, I would never know the dark side of humanity." Jin Yu snickered. She was, after all a newborn Demonic beast. After she saw what happens to the girls in various underground gangs, she felt utterly disgusted. With a wave of her hand, she used her skill Rays of Golden Dawn. It''s a skill imbued with her cultivation of Violet Pce Expansion realm and Metal qi. All of those people felt getting cut by a thousand knives. Wherever the golden rays passed, people felt their skin, flesh is slicing apart.

    Yang Shi only clicked his tongue as he heard Jin Yu''s narrative. However, he didn''t have the slightest pity for those who have died. Those people are truly the scum of society. " Anyway, so how is Firmament City? Food is good?" Yang Shi asked. He knows that Jin Yu is a foodie. " Ahem, I have eaten in around fifteen restaurants. Only five of them are passable. Oh yes, I was eating in the Gold and Jade Inn for the past few days. So, all the bills are on your tab." Jin Yu coughed awkwardly.

    " Tell me the truth, is it only Gold and Jade Inn or all other restaurants?" Yang Shi''s face turned dark. " Only five of them. I paid every other with the money I got after killing those bastards." Jin Yu stuck out her tongue. Yang Shi sighed after he heard Jin Yu. He asked the waiter how much it was, and it turned about 5000 gold coins. " These meager dishes and you asking 5000?" Yang Shi jumped in rage. " Sir, Thisdy has already eaten every single dish on the menu. It''s natural for the bill of 5000 gold coins." The waiter hurriedly said. Yang Shi grumbled as he paid the money.

    Even though he is filthy rich now, he is still acting miserly everywhere. Bai Ruxue couldn''t help butugh after looking at Yang Shi''s stinginess. " Here, Take these 50,000 gold coins and pay all the debts. After that,e to Mo n manor. We are going to leave for the capital shortly." Yang Shi said seriously. He doesn''t want to run every corner of the Firmament City, just to pay Jin Yu''s debt.

    " You-" Jin Yu got angry but Yang Shi already grabbed Bai Ruxue''s arm as he left quickly. " Haha, Young Master, Why you are so miser?" Bai Ruxue teased Yang Shi. " You know, when I first came to Firmament City, I didn''t have a single bit of money. The food was so expensive that I chose to stay hungry." Yang Shi''s expression became sad. " I worked hard. I hammered metal, smelted them, hammered again. Those days, with ire and sweat and blood-covered palm..." Yang Shi sighed. If Jin Yu was here, she would have kicked Yang Shi out of the world.

    Lacking money? Since when cksmiths and Asassissns arecking money? While it was true that Yang Shi had much less money than now, but he was never been poor to remain hungry. But, his acting was enough to move Bai Ruxue. Bai Ruxue was moved by his words as she came closer to him. Yang Shi saw there is no one around so he grabbed Bai Ruxue. His hands roamed over her body, making Bai Ruxue''s breathing hot. " Young Master, Stop1 What if someone sees us." Bai Ruxue panicked as she looked around.

    " Keke, Lady, no one is here. You can''t escape from me now." Yang Shi was about to kiss her, when, " Really?" A voice sounded on her back. Hearing it, Yang Shi''s body jolted. Bai Ruxue''s face turned hot as her body trembled. She pushed away Yang Shi as she dashed off out of embarrassment. Yang Shi saw Jin Yu stood behind him calmly, with her arm sped. " You...You have cleared all of the debts?" Yang Shi asked after a slight cough. " Yes." Jin Yu nodded. Yang Shi sighed. How can he forget that she is a Violet Pce Realm cultivator, moreover she is a roc. Her speed is unparalleled under this kingdom.

    " Are you going to walk ore back to the golden egg?" Yang Shi asked. " Meh, I am already tired. I should go and rest." Jin Yuughed as she became a golden ray of light and entered his dantian. Yang Shiughed helplessly as he chased after Bai Ruxue. " Hmm, Since Ruxue ascended to the Primordial Spirit realm, I should teach her an agility technique." Yang Shi thought. As he reached Mo n''s manor, he saw everyone gathered in the courtyard. Mo Yi and Liu Hie stood in the center. They seem to bicker about something. But their affection seems to be deepened. Yang Shi entered the courtyard as he saw Mo Xian saw him. He could see a cunning smile on his face as he looked at him.

    " That brat must be nning something. Heh, if he dares to do anything serious, he would face consequences." Yang Shi sneered in his mind. " Everyone! Our Ten year Family gathering is going to happen in a week. We will now go to the Royal Captial. Are all the Silver Winged Falcons are ready?" Mo Shan shouted.

    " Lord! There is a problem." A servant came running. Mo Shan''s face twitched as he asked, " What happened?" " Lord, Two of the Silver Wing Falcons had gone ill." The servant hurriedly said. " What? Are you kidding me?" Mo Shan asked darkly. For real? Demonic Beasts getting sick out of nowhere. "It''s true, My Lord. Two the Silver Winged Falcon are vomiting from the morning and refused to move even an inch. Moreover, their wings are swollen. They can''t fly for a longer period."

    " Damn! All are idiots." Mo Shan cursed. There are only 5 Silver Wing Falcons are remaining. Only fifteen people can go to Captial now. After a little calction, Yang Shi, Bai Ruxue, and another disciple of the Mo n remained. Mo Xian came and said, " Sister Ruxue, You cane along with me. I still have some space on my falcon." Mo Xiang smiled. " Scram!" Liu Hie shouted. " Brother Mo Yi, go to another steed. Sister Ruxue shalle with me." Liu Jie said. " I understand, but, Why me?" Mo Yi vexed. Mo Xiang scowled but didn''t say anything. " Heh,e brat! Come with your old man." Mo Shan chuckled as she called Mo Yi. " Who wants to travel with an old guy?" Mo Yi muttered. He thought he will spend some romantic time with Liu Jie, but now, it''s all gone.

    The Mo n disciple could read the situation as he refused toe with them. The only person who remained is Yang Shi. " Brother Yang..." Mo Yi felt rage as he saw Yang Shi may note along with them. " Damn those fucking birds. I swear I will roast them and eat with seasonings." Mo Yi cursed.

    He thought two of them will flip the Captial. But since Yang Shi might not get the Silver Wing Falcon, Reaching the Captial will take more than a month for him.

    Yang Shi chuckled as he looked at Mo Xiang, as he understood it was all of his doing. But still, he smiled at him, as if he never lose anything in the first ce. Mo Xiang felt something was off as he saw Yang Shi smiling at him.

 Chapter 158: Bad Memory

    Chapter 158: Bad Memory

    Yang Shi was frwoning a minute ago. He truly felt Mo Xiang''s n was ingenious. While he didn''t try anything to harm him, he managed to dy him for a long time. " Fuck, you yed well. Just wait till I make mince out of you." Yang Shi cursed in his heart. " Hey! Jin Yu! Aren''t you a divine roc? Can you transform so I can reach the capital in a second?" Yang Shi asked greedily. " Fuck off." Jin Yu spat. " Where did you learned the curse words?" Yang Shi''s face darkened. "Hehe, when I was strolling in the city, I saw many men saying that." Jin Yu said.

    " Anyway, I can''t transform just to carry you somewhere. I am not your steed. Moreover, If I try to transform into my beast form, my poison would re again." Jin Yu scowled. " Damn, Do you have any better idea? Am I going to lose today?" Yang Shi cursed. " It seems you are pretty stupid. Have you forgot that you actually have a steed?" Jin Yuughed at Yang Shi''s stupidity. " Eh? I have a steed?" Yang Shi became confused. " Have you forget that you have an egg of a Sword Feather Condor?" Jin Yu felt she was going crazy. Hell, Are you really a cultivator? You sure my master?

    " Ah! Ahahaha. My bad, Truly, my bad." Yang Shiughed as he pped his thigh. Fuck, it seems his memory getting bad. " But, it hasn''t hatched yet." Yang Shi frowned. " You are such a fool. Have you forgotten how much that strange energy you have injected into that egg? It was supposed to die, but that strange energy of yours gave it a tremendous boost, making its bloodline far pure. After a while, it stopped absorbing the energy as it went to hibernation. I feel it will hatch in a day or two." Jin Yu informed Yang Shi

    " Haha! Little Jin, you have made my day." Yang Shiughed in his mind. " Don''t get too happy." Jin Yu''s words are like a bucket of cold water, poured over Yang S hi''s happiness. " You mustn''t forget that the egg was somewhat damaged. Who knows, What''s the cultivation of the newborn Sword Feather Condor would be?" " Hmm, that''s indeed a problem. But, I have solutions for that. Don''t forget, we have another dead egg of his species, the corpse, and the core of mature Sword Feather Condor. With these, he can climb up to the ranks like lightning." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Mo Xiang, oh Mo Xiang! Just wait. I am eager to see when you arrive in the Royal Captial and see me at the entrance." Yang Shiughed as he looked at Mo Xiang. Mo Xiang''s heart thumped as he saw Yang Shi''s smile. Sure, he was smart enough to guess that Yang Shi already knew that he was the mastermind, yet he is still smiling? " Don''t tell me he has another n? No, That''s impossible." Mo Xiang shook his head. He felt happy to put Yang Shi in such an awkward condition. Mo Yi looked at Yang Shi and then looked at Mo Xiang. He suddenly understood what happened as he red at Mo Xiang. Mo Xiang snickered as he turned around.

    Mo Yi gave Yang Shi a look of embarrassment, but Yang Shi waved his hands, telling him to not get worried. " Little Yang, I am really sorry for such inconvenience." Mo Shan came to Yang Shi as he gave a wry smile. " It''s alright uncle." Yang Shi smiled. " Don''t worry. I have my Blood Fur horses. With them, it will take fifteen days at most to reach the capital." Mo Shan dered. " Haha, Uncle is sure generous." Yang Shi cupped his fist. " Haha, Brat, You are my son''s sworn brother. I can at least do this for you." Mo Shanughed as he patted Yang Shi.

    " You Master! If you are not going, then Bai Ruxue shall also stay here." Bai Ruxue said. " no, You should go with sister Liu. Don''t worry, I will reach the capital soon. And yes, keep this storage pouch, There is a special gift for you." Yang Shi smiled. " B-but..." Bai Ruxue tried to protest, but Yang Shi didn''t listen.

    Within a few minutes, everyone boarded on the falcons as they pped their wings. Yang Shi felt amazed that the wind current created by pping their wing was like a small hurricane. Within a blink of an eye, with a booming sound, they left. Yang Shi felt the speed of the falcons is truly amazing. Their speed is like jets. Within a few seconds, Yang Shi could only see faint dots in the horizon.

    " Let''s wait for today. Since ns have changed, Where should I go? Well, I should go to the Golden Fire Tower. Time to practice forging." Yang Shi thought as he left Mo n manor. Firmament City was famous for three things. First- The Golden Fire Tower. It was the birthce of all cksmiths and Alchemists of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. Second- Hundred Flower Pavilion. The second best gathering of beautiful courtesans, and of course, rich young masters. The three beautiful princesses of Hundred Flower Pavilion had upied in top ten positions of the kingdom''s beauty ranking.

    And thirdly, the ancestral ground of Mo n. Firmament city was the ce where the original Mo n was located. But after a time, they chose to make it a branch and migrate into the Capital. Nheless, it''s still the sacred ce of the Mo n. But, The capital is still the capital. History says the progenitor of the Royal n found an ancient ruin. So he chose to settle his n there. That ce became the Azure Wind City, the capital of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom.

    Yang Shi strolled aimlessly in the market. He still remembered when he first arrived in Firmament City. He saw vendors scamming rich young masters on the name of rare herbs. Even now, he still saw people shouting- A rare Three Leaf Golden Fruit, which can increase your cultivation and vitality. Only for 30,000 gold coins."

    " An ancient cauldron from a mystical ruin. It has strange engraving, which seals a long lost alchemy technique. Only for a hundred thousand gold coins."

    " A Mythic grade cultivation manual. If you can practice it to the pinnacle, you will be like carp leaping through dragon gate, bing invincible among your peers."

    Yang Shi couldn''t help but smile as he heard these shouts. Sure, people aren''t dumb enough to believe all this BS, but still, these shouts managed to nt a seed in their minds. They may not buy today, but what about tomorrow? Greed, lust, and anger are three unsatiable elements of the human heart. Even the people know that these things are fake, they will still buy them, nheless. Who can resist the allure of power?

    Yang Shi didn''t mind as he let a chuckle. But when he was going, his eyes suddenly fell on a herb, or say, a patch of grass. The shopkeeper was dozing as Yang Shi reached him. Feeling the aura, he opened his eyes as he looked at Yang Shi. " Is this Hazy Dream Grass?" Yang Shi asked. The shopkeeper''s eyes sparkled as he sat up. " Indeed, young noble''s eyes are wise. This is indeed Hazy Dream Grass. Today, I am in a good mood, so I will sell this in 50,000 gold coins." The shopkeeper grinned.

    " 15,000. Give or I will leave." Yang Shi said.

    " Young man, that''s too little. How about 45,000..."

    "15,000."

    "Even 30,000 is ok..."

    " 15,000."

    The shopkeeper''s face turned stiff as he saw Yang Shi''s isn''t budging. Yang Shi''s price was reasonable. The true value of Hazy Dream Grass is 15,000 gold coins. " Fine, You win." The shopkeeper sighed as he handed that patch of grass.

 Chapter 159: I will Teach?

    Chapter 159: I will Teach?

    Hazy Dream Grass, as its name implies, it''s a sedative type medicinal herb. It''s only a grade one herb, with pretty much no use. Yang Shi bought it because he got a strange idea in his mind. These Hazy Dream Grass can be concocted into a special elixir, which has an astonishing effect on meditation. Yang Shiughed smugly as he thought about another thing. He remembered his past on Earth. He was a heavy chain smoker and drinker. His life was very gray, so he couldn''t help but became an addict.

    After looking at the Hazy Dream Grass, Yang Shi realized that he never smoked here, aftering into this new world. " Hahaha, I wonder how this will taste like? Anyway, I should try." Yang Shi chuckled as he put it into his spatial ring. Soon, he reached his familiar Golden Fire Tower. The moment he entered, he suddenly felt the surrounding people were greeting him with some respect. " Eh? What happened here?" Yang Shi became pleasantly surprised. " Has my standing got higher?" Yang Shi chuckled in his heart.

    " Uncle Bo! How are you?" Yang Shi greeted the old man, who sat in the mission hall. " Haha, Brat Yang, you are back." Uncle Bo chuckled. " Has something happened here?" Yang Shi asked with curiosity. " Well, You gave everyone here a big surprise, when you actually finished themission of a Quasi True grade demonic halberd. Normally, even a Master cksmith can''t be sure to make a Quasi True grade weapon in their first time, but you did it. Haha, there are manymissions posted here, for Master Yang. Guess, your poprity has been kicked off." Heughed.

    " It seems, I can smell money." Yang Shi cackled as he heard from Uncle Bo. " Hah, Beware from this fame. Otherwise, someone might kidnap you and make you a weapon forging machine." Uncle Bo sighed." Hahahaha, if some fool wants to offer their blood to my saber, they can surelye." Yang Shi sneered. " Ah yes, Elder Lin was trying to find you. You should meet him when you are free." He reminded. " I am tired from today''s work. I will meet him after rest." Yang Shi nodded.

    Yang Shi went back to his residence and lied on his bed. Unknown to him, he suddenly thought about the night with Ruxue. Thinking about her wless body, Yang Shi felt an evil fire came to life in his lower abdomen. " Mmm, We didn''t enjoy much as we are both upied to awake our physique. Fufufu, I should spend a lot of time with her in the future." Yang Shi fantasized about Ruxue''s sensual moans with her bouncing tits.

    " You!!! What the hell are you thinking? Stop sullying my innocent mind." Jin Yu screamed in his mind. " Heh,ss, that''s why you shouldn''t peek into an adult''s mind." Yang Shiughed at her response. Jin Yu was resting in her golden egg, when she saw Yang Shi was giving a lecherous smile. Since they are bound by a contract, she tried to see what Yang Shi was thinking. And indeed, what she saw, was enough to let her have goosebumps. Although she was a divine beast, she didn''t remain in human form long as she got sealed in the golden egg. Her memories were locked in her bloodline, but, there wasn''t anything much about the intercourse between men and women. " How can a girl can feel both pain and pleasure at the same time? She is crazy?" Jin Yu thought.

    Yang Shi sighed in relief. At least for the time being, Jin Yu won''t peek into his mind. " I should teach her about these adult stuffs someday. No, wait, she is still a child. Let her grow a bit." Yang Shi wondered how Jin Yu would look after she grew up. After resting for a while, Yang Shi got up and took out a wok. He filled it with Silver rock sand, a hard, sand like ore. Then with a flick of his finger, he set a small fire and began to heat it. The temperature was enough only to heat the Silver rock sand, not melt it. Yang Shi plucked a handful of Hazy Dream grass and threw it in the wok. He used the rock sand to roast the green leaves of Hazy Dream Grass. If any other cksmith saw that, they will definitely scold Yang Shi. Who uses precious materials like Silver rock sand to roast some low quality herbs?

    " Well, let it get driedpletely." He didn''t dry all the grass. He kept half of them and ted in his garden. He hoped to grow them in his garden. " I wonder why Elder Lin wanted to talk with me?" Yang Shi thought as he went to talk with Elder Lin. He had a good impression regarding this elder, as he was helping Yang Shi from the start. Yang Shi reached his adobe as he saw Elder Lin was sitting in his courtyard. " Elder Lin, you were looking for me? Yang Shi cupped his fist as he asked politely. " Yang Shi! You are here. Indeed, I was looking for you. First of all, congrattion on making a Quasi True grade weapon. Having such talent in cksmithing at such young age, you can be considered as genius." Elder Lin praised.

    " It was only a stroke of good luck. I will continue to work harder and refine my art further." Yang Shi nodded calmly. " Neither arrogant norzy. He is indeed a bright star among his peer. " But, I hope Elder Lin can minimize my fame. As you see, My cultivation is still low and I don''t want to attract unwanted attention." Yang Shi scratched his head. " I see. Don''t worry, I will do whatever I can do." Elder Lin nodded. It wasn''t umon that good seedlings like Yang Shi got roped into some other faction. There are also some evil groups, who forcefully make such Alchemists or cksmith only to make things for themselves. They are like a gold eggying hen for them.

    Golden Fire Tower is like an academy, who gives the degree certificate. After getting their recognization, most cksmiths and alchemists leaves and went to find their own fortune, after working in Golden Fire Tower for a while. Various ns and sects value masters of supplementary paths greatly. So this is like a dangerous boon. If someone doesn''t have a strong background or strength, they can''t live in this dog-eat-dog world.

    Yang Shi didn''t want to rise to fame quickly, not at least before he reaches the Eighth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. " Elder Lin, you still haven''t told your reason to call me." Yang Shi asked. " Ah yes. One of our teaching elders- Elder Lao has left Golden Fire Tower. He suddenly had an urgent task and went to the neighboring kingdom. Well, We are having a shortage of Master grade cksmiths. So, I wonder If you can work as a teaching elder for a few days." Elder Lin scratched his head.

    " Eh? You meant I have to teach the disciples of Golden Fire Tower?" Yang Shi uttered in surprise. " Yes." Elder Lin nodded. " Well, It''s not that I am not ready, but, what will I get from it?" Yang Shi gave a crafty smile. Looking at his greedy smile, Elder Lin sighed. " Why do I feel this brat will rip us off." He thought inwardly. " We will let you enter the third floor of our library and let you choose two manuals of cksmithing. In addition to that, you will get a chance to train in our zing me Hall."

 Chapter 160: Negotiation

    Chapter 160: Negotiation

    " zing me Hall? You mean the hall which made on the Fire vein?" Yang Shi became surprised. The Golden Fire Tower was built on a gigantic Fire vein, which was the source of fire for alchemy and cksmithing chambers. Not anyone has the wealth or strength to have a Spirit Fire of their own. So, They use fire from the chambers, which were connected to the Fire vein or mecloud crystals, which are like special coals of this world.

    This Fire Vein was more than ten thousand-year-olds. The Golden Fire Tower can only able to go deeper than the inner perimeter. The core region of the vein is so strong that, even Violet Pce Expansion Realm expert might die there. But the inner region ave the Golden Fire Tower unimaginable wealth. Every type of precious ores, metals, and Spirit Fires are found there, making it an unending treasure trove of Golden Fire Tower. zing me Hall is such a ce, where, with the help of powerful formations, they draw out pure Fire qi from the Fire Vein and use it to raise the power of Spirit Fire. One can also use the Fire qi to temper their fleshly bodies, making them stronger.

    " Indeed. We allow you to train in the zing me Hall. With that, Your second-grade Spirit Fire might evolve into third grade." Elder Lin said. " I appreciate the kindness of Elder Lin, but, I can hardly teach here for three days at most. I have to leave for Azure Wind City after that." Yang Shiughed bitterly. " Three days?" Elder Lin frowned but he still smiled, " Don''t worry about it. Teach them for three days for now. After youe back, you can teach them for a month. You will get your rewards then."

    " Hmm." Yang Shi thought about the proposal of Elder Lin. " How about it? After teaching for three days, I will only spend twelve hours in zing me Hall. You can send some promising disciples of Golden Fire Tower to the Azure Wind City, or, Wait till Ie back." Yang Shi smiled. He was very eager to visit the zing me Hall. Somehow, he smelt a good fortune from there. He wasn''t interested in manuals of the third floor as he has memory fragments of Samsara Emperor. " This..." Elder Lin''s face stiffed as he pondered. " I can assure you that I will teach diligently. Moreover, I can give a few Quasi True grade weapons to the Golden Fire Tower." Yang Shi added.

    " Fine." Elder Lin sighed. If not knowing Yang Shi''s unusual talent, he might not agree on this. But he knew Yang Shi is the one who solved many nearly impossible questions which troubled cksmiths for a few decades. He also wanted to test him more, as he was a candidate in his mind to join thepetition of Golden Fire Tower. " But, I hope you start fro now, I will inform all the disciples via servants." Elder Lin said. " Ok." Yang Shi nodded. Since he has nothing to do, he might as well do some virtuous tasks. He got up and returned to his manor. He saw the Hazy Dream Grass were driedpletely. He took them out and crushed them into bits. Then he took a leaf of Pill Preserving nt. Its the mostmon medicinal nt, which is used to wrap pills and ointments.

    He made a roll and fill it with the dried Hazy Dream Grass. He also added another herb and lit it with his fire. "Phwaa." Yang Shi exhaled a mouthful of smoke as he sat down, with his eyes closed. " Fuck1 Its amazing." Yang Shi muttered as he smoked like a veteran. The Hazy Dream Grass had a mild astringent taste with a mellow sweetness. Yang Shi felt his mind became much rx after he started to smoke.

    " Hey! What are you doing?" Jin Yu asked curiously. Yang Shi''s actions were strange in her eyes. " I am smoking tobo, but it''s a little different." Yang Shi chuckled. Indeed, mortals here do use tobo pipes, but Yang Shi was using a cigarette, which was new in this world. " Does it taste good? I want to try it." Jin Yu muttered. " You are still a kid now, Wait to grow up a bit." Yang Shi scolded her. It''s kinda immoral for him to teach a ten-year-old girl how to smoke.

    " Bah1 Who are you calling a little girl? This aunt has lived ten times more than you." Jin Yu snorted. " So you admit that you are an old hag?" Yang Shiughed. " You-you." Jin Yu angered as Yang Shi felt the golden egg in his dantian began to jump wildly. " "Ow ow ow. Stop." Yang Shi suddenly bent down as he felt the paining from his stomach. " Damn." Yang Shi cursed in his heart. But then, he heard a knock on his door. " Master Yang, Elder Lin has called you to the hall." The servant said politely.

    " Yes, I aming." Yang Shi shouted.

    He hurriedly went and dressed up. He wore the red robe representing the Golden Fire Tower. " Quite handsome, ain''t I?" YangShi chuckled as he looked at the mirror. Red robes with his purple eyes, he indeed looked good. He took out another of his Hazy Dream cigar and put it into his ring. Then he walked off to the hall.

    The entrance examination of Golden Fire Tower is very strict. Lots of aspiring cultivator takes it, but only a third of them managed to get into the Golden Fire Tower. This ce gives them minimum resources and teachings for a year, then the students have to take the examination again and at least be apprentice ss cksmiths or alchemists. Without this minimum qualification, they got kicked out from here. The apprentice cultivators can stay here for three years and try to be an Adept ss. But only a fifth of them barely manages to be an Adept ss. Most of the apprentices be servents of adept and master grade cksmiths and alchemists.

    For these apprentices and adepts, there are free sses. But most of the ss needs credit points, as it''s themon currency in the Golden Fire Tower. For these guys, earning credit points are very hard, so most of them depend upon the free sses. Most of them felt disheartened as they heard Elder Lao suddenly left the Golden Fire Tower. Three free sses are pitifully low, and now, there might be not even one in a month. But they soon got happy as they heard another Master grade cksmith is going to teach them. But again, they felt crestfallen as they heard the new teacher is only 18 year old.

    " The heck! How can a brat be a Master grade cksmith? A disciple murmured.

    " He must be from some aristocratic family. Hmph, It seems Golden Fire Tower isn''t impartial." Another one shouted.

    " I am a bit scared. What will happen if he teaches us wrongly?"

    " You can choose not to attend. Anyway, It''s not like free sses are really worth our time." Someone else chuckled.

    " Indeed. We will not join the ss." Most of the disciples agreed.

    Yang Shi reached the audience hall as he saw almost a hundred disciples standing. Elder Lin smiled as he saw Yang Shi. " Apprentice and Adept disciples of cksmithing section, from now on, Master Yang will take the ce of Elder Lao and instruct you on your art of cksmithing." Elder Lin informed. All of them cupped their fist before Yang Shi. Yang Shi smiled but he sighed in his heart. He could see the dissatisfaction of the masses. " Hah! Naive brats! Just wait till this daddy shows you what cksmithing looks like." Yang Shi cackled in his heart.

 Chapter 161: Teaching disciples

    Chapter 161: Teaching disciples

    " I greet all the disciples of cksmithing ss. I will start my teaching in an incense stick of time. You can finish your works meanwhile ande to attend." Yang Shi said. The disciples nodded as they hastily left. " Eh? Why did you give them an incense stick of time?" Elder Lin asked. " Haha, just wait and see." Yang Shi smiled mysteriously. The disciples felt it was heaven sent opportunity as they scattered. " Haha, Thank god! I won''t be going back. I will just apply for some mission or work for a time being." Some of themughed.

    Yang Shi waited, as time flew by. After more than an hour, finally, he saw someoneing. " One, two... nine? Not bad." Yang Shi chuckled inwardly. Only nine disciples came back. " Only you guys? What about others?" Yang Shi asked calmly. " Reporting to Teacher, they are..." One of them stammered as he couldn''t say anything else. " Anyway, state your names." Yang Shi asked them.

    " My name is Shi Kun."

    " Xin Zhou."

    " Li Gong."

    .......

    " Well, since most people chose not toe, why you guys came here?" Yang Shi asked. Shi Kun thought and answered politely- " I wish to learn under teacher Yang." Yang Shi''s brows raised as looked at the other eight, " Do you also think the same?" They suddenly stumbled as they nodded hastily. " Do you think I will ept this bullshit?" Yang Shi sneered. " You guys better tell me the reasons, else I will kick you out." Yang Shi chuckled coldly. The expression of Shi Kun and others changed.

    Xin Zhou cleared his throat as he said, "I don''t have enough credit points to join the main sses of famed instructors. So, I mostly depend on the free sses."

    " Me too."

    " Me also.

    Three others said the same reason. Yang Shi nodded as he looked at Shi Kun, " What about yours?"

    " I... I feel its waste for me to go to the main sses to burn my credit points." Shi Kun hesitated as he said. " Oh? Why so?" Yang Shi''s raised his brow. " Because...It has been almost been three years and I am still an apprentice cksmith. I feel I don''t have the talent to be a cksmith, so..." Shi Kun said.

    " I am here to hide from my enemy. I angered an adept cksmith and now he has challenged me to have a duel with him." Li Gong said as he clenched his teeth. " So all of you have personal reasons toe here and not to learn cksmithing from me?" Yang Shiughed. The nine became embarrassed as they lowered their heads. " I am still saying, If someone wants to leave now, he can go. Don''t worry, it won''t harm your reputation." Yang Shi said again. Finally, after Yang Shi said, out of nine, three left.

    " So you six chosen to stay. Are you sure about this?" Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed. " Heh, just a bunch of trash." Yang Shi sneered. The six of them trembled but didn''t look at Yang Shi. No matter how young he is, he is still a Master grade cksmiths. One word from him and all of them could be expelled from Golden Fire Tower. " What? You guys feel you aren''t trash? Do you think I am from some aristocratic family, using influence to be a Master grade cksmith?" Yang Shiughed.

    The six didn''t say anything, but their silence confirmed Yang Shi. " If you guys feel unconvinced, why not take a little test of mine ." Yang Shi waved his hands as the Sky Breaking hammer appeared as he put it on the ground. " See this? It''s my forging hammer. I have sealed its spirit diagram, so it''s only pure weight. If you can budge a little bit, I will reward you with a Spirit grade weapon." Yang Shi casually took out three Spirit grade swords and threw them on the ground.

    Shi Kun, Li Gong, and others looked at the swords with intense greed. Especially Li Gong, " Damn, only if I have this sword, I can ward off that bastard." He thought inwardly. " Try, try! I got plenty of time." Yang Shi snickered as he took out another of his cigar and began to smoke. " Eh? What''s is he doing?" Others looked at Yang Shi with bewilderment. The smoke wasn''t suffocating, moreover, it was mildly smelling good. But they didn''t care about it as they circled around the hammer.

    " Who is going first?" Xin Rou looked at others. " I will go first." Shi Kun said firmly. He grabbed the handle and tried to pull it. " Eh?" He saw the hammer didn''t budge a bit. Shi Kun mustered all of his cultivation as he pulled it hard, but the hammer remained unmoved. Without Yang Shi''s prediction, they all tried one by one and failed miserably. " You can all try at once, no one stopping you." Yang Shiughed from the side. " Hmph, I don''t think we can''t live a hammer?" Li Gong snorted. " Indeed." Everyone panted heavily as they used their strength at once.

    Yang Shi smiled as he saw their performance. They are only Spiritual Ascension realm cultivators. The hammer alone weighed more than 1000kg. Unless they have an extraordinary physique like Yang Shi, they can forget about lifting the hammer. Moreover, Yang Shi already refined the hammer with his blood, so, without his permission, even the Primordial Spirit realm cultivator may not able to lift it.

    " What the hell!" All of them sat down as they felt their arms became numb. " All of you guys satisfied?" Yang Shi chuckled as he exhaled a mouthful of smoke. " Forgive me, Teacher." Shi Kun cupped his fist. " Forgive us, teacher!" All of them cupped their fists as they bowed down. " Not bad, things went smoother than I expected." YangShiughed inwardly. " Since you, six chose to study under me, it must be our fate. I need you guys to vow that, Whatever you learned from here, without my permission, you won''t divulge the knowledge to others." Yang Shi''s tone became serious.

    " We won''t dare!" All of them shouted. Yang Shi nodded in satisfaction. " For cksmithing, You need to master three things- strength, me control, and measurement of ores. I will check your me control now. With a suitable technique, controlling me will be easier, so, Show me what you got." Yang Shi shouted. He produced a me measuring crystal. It was the same crystal that Yang Shi had to use in his exam of Master grade cksmith. This crystal can measure the power of me of the user. Yang Shi borrowed it from the treasure hall, for educational purposes only.

    " You guyse and measure your power here." Yang Shi shouted.

 Chapter 162: This technique is trash?

    Chapter 162: This technique is trash?

    Shi Kun stepped forward and ced his hands on the measuring stone. The stone emitted pale orange light as it became slightly deep orange. Then it stopped emitting light. Yang Shi''s eyes frowned as he looked at the slightly deep orange color. " The hell? It''s the lowest quality of me." Yang Shi muttered. Shi Kun already knew about his me power so he justughed with embarrassment. Then Xin Rou went and his performance was quite better than Shi Kun. As for Li Gong, his performance was the best among the six. But Yang Shi shook his head with disappointment.

    " All of them can emit only orange light. The orange light is the weakest. The golden light was the strongest me power, followed by White, Red, and Orange. I thought there would be at least someone with the strength of red color." Yang Shi muttered. " You guys should know your me power is weak right? I mean, why is this weak?" YangShi asked in contempt. " Answering to the teacher, we only practice low ss fire controlling technique, so our me power oi weak." Li Gong said. " Low ss? Tell me what technique you cultivate?" Yang Shi asked.

    " I cultivate Red Cloud Fire Arts."

    " ming python Art."

    " Three Mantra of Forging."

    Yang Shi heard as he recalled these techniques. He had memorized most of the techniques of the Golden Fire Tower library, so he knew about these techniques. " Rather than cultivating these, Why don''t you cultivate- Fundamental of Golden Fire Art?" Yang Shi asked in confusion. Golden Fire Art is the most basic technique of Golden Fire Tower, but what made Yang Shi amazed that it matched with his Great Yang Sr me arts very much. If Great Yang Sr me Art is a pavilion, then Fundamentals of Golden Fire art is the foundation of it.

    " Hmm, Could it be Uncle Bao is from Golden Fire Tower?" Yang Shi wondered about the old man who gave him the Great Yang Sr me Art. Hearing The Fundamental of Golden Fire from YangShi, the six disciples looked at Yang Shi with bewilderment.

    " What? You never heard of the technique?" yang Shi asked in surprise. " No, It''s not that." Shi Kun let out a forced smile, " It''s just that- It''s the basic technique of Golden Fire Tower. It was given free to all the disciples, but no one practices it. Its efficiency is very low."

    YangShi became speechless, but he thought over it. Right, Why would they practice the most basic thing, when you can get better techniques from the library? People never care about the thing which is given free, it''s a very phycological thing. " I can understand, but is it really just a low Yellow grade technique?" Yang Shi asked. Looking at the technique, Yang Shi felt it was enough to be a Purple grade technique. " It was indeed a low Yellow grade technique. No, it wasn''t even worthy to be a Yellow grade technique." Xin Rou spat.

    " I have tried it before, and it was trash. Not even the weakest disciple use it." Someone else echoed. " Bring me the scroll of Fundamental of Golden Fire." Yang Shi asked sternly. " I have it." A disciple named Gao Yan said as he gave it to Yang Shi. Yang Shi read it and said, " You guys think this is a trash technique, don''t you? But what if I tell, It can even outss any Purple grade technique and make you a Master grade cksmith within a year?" Yang Shi sighed. " Master grade cksmith?!!!" Everyone breathed a mouthful of cold air.

    All of them felt it was nonsense. This basic technique can help them to reach Master grade cksmith within a year? No matter how they thought. it seemed impossible. " It''s not impossible. But let me conduct other tests for you. The second thing I am going to test is your knowledge about cksmithing and its ingredients." Yang Shi said. " Don''t worry, What I will ask will be only limited to apprentice ss knowledge." Yang Shi waved his hands.

    " First question- What''s the best material to mix with Deep earth copper?

    " Second question- How much ck steel sand is required to sharpen a one meter longsword?

    " Third question- After how much time, You will mix Purple crystal billet with Ash white bronze?"

    ...............................................

    " And the tenth question- What''s the best liquid to quench weapon made from Crimson Iron ore?

    Yang Shi only gave ten questions to them. But he had to be disappointed. Only Xin Rou managed to answer four of them. And even in that, Yang Shi wasn''t satisfied with two of them. Rest of the youngsters hardly able to answer one or two questions. " cksmithing is just like alchemy. They use herbs to make pills, We use ores to make weapons. If can''t even understand theposition of ores, you should stop studying cksmithing." Yang Shi sighed. "Thest test, I am giving you a hundred kg metal block. Carry it and do a hundred push-ups and twentyps around the hall." Yang Shi said as he took out a block of Cold Iron.

    The disciples gritted their teeth as they did what Yang Shi said. Fortunately, This time, half of them managed to do properly what Yang Shi asked, albeit barely. And three of them failed, although they weren''t too far off. " Finally, You guys aren''tplete trash." Yang Shi sighed in relief. Then he looked at their panting figures and chuckled, " Well, from now on, I am in charge of you guys. You guys have to prove it- You are not trash!" Yang Shi said coldly. " YES!" They shouted in a union. Yang Shi took out a pen and paper as he wrote something in it.

    " Take this- This is the Fundamental of Golden Fire technique. Practice strictly ording to this. And you, each of you takes 50 credit points and buy Soaring me Pills. Use that pill while cultivating Fundamentals of Golden Fire. It will increase your efficiency." Yang Shi instructed. They were unwilling at first, but when they heard Yang Shi giving them 50 credit points, they became happy. " Be on time tomorrow. Now, disperse!" Yang Shi asked them to go.

    " Ugh, I am so tired. But, I can''t rest now." Yang Shi stretched his body as he took out his forging table. " Finally, Time to forge them." Yang S hi''s eyes became sharp as he took out all the corpses of Demonic beasts from his spatial ring. Then, he cut them skillfully and draw out their blood. It was enough to fill fourrge buckets. Then Yang Shi began to boil them as he made the concentration of blood thicker. He used his Spirit me to refine the blood of Demonic beasts and gather their essence. After half an hour, Yang Shi managed to reduce it to half a bucket of blood. One can feel the richness and vitality of the blood essence. But it wasn''t for cultivation purposes. Yang Shi then opened a ck bottle and poured something in the blood essence.

    Yang Shi ignited his forging furnace and threw various rare ores and metals in it. These are all the things he got from Feng Xiao. The ores melted as Yang Shi increased the temperature. It slowly became like a multicolored magma, emitting brilliance. Yang Shi nodded in satisfaction as he threw a charge chunk of zed Spirit tinum, which he got from the Eastern Valley Town, from the metal vein.

    The ores slowly converged as they became solid. Yang Shi took out the billet and with the help of his hammer, he separated it into two pieces. With a humph, he began to hammer them simultaneously. If one wasn''t observant, They would feel Yang Shi was using two hammers at the same time. With careful notice, One can also see that the amount of hammering received by the two billets ispletely the same. The billet slowly took shape of daggers, perfectly one chi in length.(One chi= 33.33cm.)

    Yang Shi with a deep breath, focused on his Celestial View as he drew Spirit diagrams on them.

    One, two, three.....Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, the spirit diagrams increased in number, After drawing the fourteenth diagram, Yang Shi felt dizzy. Spirit diagram not only consumes Spiritual qi but also mental concentration. Moreover, Yang Shi was drawing Spirit diagrams on both daggers at the same time. So the burden over him was even greater.

    " No, I can''t stop here." Yang Shi greeted his teeth as continued to draw. Finally, hepleted the set of Spirit diagrams. The Spirit diagram lit up as Yang Shi hurriedly quenched them in the blood essence. Then Yang Shi took them out and sat on the ground.

    " Hahaha, I did it. Drawing a Twin soul lightning diagram is hard as hell." Yang Shi muttered. This diagram was made for dual-wielding weapons, increasing their strength and efficiency.

    Yang Shi looked at the daggers lying on the forging table as he wiped his sweat. It looked like a butterfly, with crimson wings giving off a sinister vibe. One can see faint traces of green shade on the edges. Yang Shi held one dagger in each of his hands as he shed out.

    *SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH* The air whistled as Yang Shi''s arms became a blur. Yang Shi had only two words in his mind- Fast and Deadly. " Let this be called- Crimson Dusk Daggers!" Yang Shiughed out.

 Chapter 163: Profound way of Teaching

    Chapter 163: Profound way of Teaching

    Yang Shi was aiming to refine this pair of dagger for a long time. These daggers are perfect for closebat. These are light, fast, and easy to hide. What''s the true power of a dagger? Sharpness? No, It''s the ability to remain hidden. As long as the dagger remained hidden, it can kill anyone with utmost silence. Yang Shi held those daggers are a bloody aura erupted from his body. " Ahh, Is this what they call, carving for blood?" Yang Shi smiled crookedly.

    " Tsk, It seems I am getting carried away. Maybe it''s these daggers. After all, I forged them with the Blood quench technique." Yang Shi chuckled. The blood Quench technique was created to make Evil weapons. Yang Shi chose that method because, of course, his daggers gonna do the dirty works. It was not made to cut vegetables but to cut people. Moreover, It was stained with a powerful poison, which he got from the Old Ghost. It can instantly paralyze anyone in the Primordial Spirit Realm. Moreover, The poison can retract ording to Yang Sh''s will.

    " Ahh, I am so tired." Yang Shi kept his Crimson Dusks and went on his bed. He took out the egg of Sword Feather Condor and knocked slightly," Hey, Lil birb, hatch soon, ok?" Yang Shi chuckled as he sent a thread of his Internal energy into the egg. Then he stretched his body and fell to sleep

    The next day, Yang Shi woke up early and began to write something. " Chet, Doing so much for a bunch of brats." Yang Shi smiled wryly as he continued to write. After a while, he closed the scroll and went to his ss. Surprisingly, The six students were sitting in their ces, awaiting for YangShi. " You guys quite early, eh?" Yang Shi smiled as he entered the ss. " Greetings, Teacher!" All of them bowed hastily as they saw Yang Shi. But this time, One can see the unwillingness of yesterday waspletely faded from their eyes. They were greeting Yang Shi with utmost sincerity.

    " Have you guys practiced the Fundamentals of Golden Fire technique?" yang Shi asked. " Indeed, we did. The effects were, simply too magical." Shi Kun said excitedly. After he ate Soaring me Pill and used Fundamentals of Golden Fire as Yang Shi instructed, he felt his muscles rxed as pent up energy released on his body. He felt the pill''s energy was being refined at a fast rate as his Fire qi in the body flowed smoothly. He felt his technique broke through, which was in the bottleneck fromst year.

    The same has happened with all of them. Li Gong was the best among them. He directly broke through into Primordial Spirit Realm after one night of cultivation. Yang Shi looked at him with some surprise. But he has nothing to be surprised about. These guys practiced their technique wrongly, making their cultivation stagnant at a point. However, The Fundamental of Golden Fire is the root of all of their technique. Yang Shi used the original Fundamental of Golden Fire and derived it. After merging with the memory of Samsara Emperor, the only whole thing he got is monstrousprehension. He can easily derive which technique was based on what, thanks to the vast knowledge of Samsara Emperor

    All of the Purple grade technique was based over the Fundamentals of Golden Fire, but no one noticed it ever. It''s like people directly building the first floor of a building without building the ground floor. If they won''t have enough guidance, they might face bottlenecks. If onepletely masters the Fundamental of Golden Fire technique, although they can''t be geniuses overnight, their Fire technique would be much smoother than before. But the condition is too much time taking and useless for others. " I wonder, What would be the creator of Fundamentals of Golden Fire technique would be feeling now? When he realized the technique meant for smoother cultivation is regarded as a trash technique?" Yang Shiughed in his mind.

    " Anyway, Today, I am going to talk to you about the profundities of your techniques. First of all, Red Cloud Fire arts. You doing wrong while channeling energy from Tianding point to Zhongfu point. It''s wasting more Fire qi in midway and making your condensed me much lesser. As for the name of the technique, Red Cloud doesn''t mean creating clouds of me, but using me, like floating clouds, unhindered."

    " ming Python Art_ It was made after an Ancient Fire Beast- Purgatory Fire Python King. To be more efficient, you need to use the blood essence pill made from fire python ss demon beasts. You can also try to eat Violet snake grass."

    Yang Shi began to instruct them about their cultivation technique. The six became bewildered as they listened to Yang Shi. They wondered if Yang Shi was teaching them their own technique or something else. When they first choose their technique, none of them were satisfied, because all of those techniques are Yellow grade. But when Yang Shi began to teach them, they felt the simple Yellow grade technique is filled with profundities.

    Without noticing the time, the lecture went on. " Hey? Aren''t you guys gonna eat lunch or something?" Yang Shi suddenly asked. " Eh? It''s already afternoon?!!" All of them became startled as they looked around.

    " Anyway, Let''s stop here. Here, This scroll is thependium of ores and metals. It''s written in a specific way, so you can remember it easily. Completly memorize this." Yang Shi passed them the scroll which he was writing before. It was actually like a rhyme, named- Legend of Golden Valley. It helps one to remember the properties and names of ores like a song. The problem most cksmiths and alchemists face is to remember thousands of ingredients and their properties. Just a bit of mistake and all of their hard work will go gutter.

    " You guys,e back in the evening. I will teach you the most important thing- Forging." Yang Shi said gravely. " And also ask questions from Legend of Golden Valley. If you can answer, hehe..." Yang Shiughed evilly. " As teachermands." All of them bowed.

    Unknown to Yang Shi, at another ce, a bunch of old men looking at what''s happening in the hall with help of a magical mirror. Elder Lin was also among them. " Marvelous, Simply marvelous. I never thought simple Red Cloud Fire art can be derived into this stage." A white-haired elder shook his head.

    " Moreover, That Fundamental of Golden Fire, we knew it was something special, yet we neglected it for centuries." Elder Linughed wryly. " Well, Just from that brat''s description, it was already profound enough to be not to understood by us. We sat on the mountain of gold, yet we became poor." Another Elder sighed.

    " But how did he managed to grasp such profundities?" The white-haired elder asked. " There are too many possibilities. There are so many things in the world, which are mysterious. As long as Yang Shi doesn''t do harm to our branch, I don''t think we should pry into his secret." Elder Lin sighed. " But Elder Lin, I still feel we should interrogate him." Another elder came. " No need for that. I don''t know if you guys noticed it, but he is indeed practicing Great Yang Sr me art. You know what that means, right? It''s Lord Bao, who game him that technique." Elder Lin chuckled.

    " Our cksmithing branch had been declining fromst two hundred years. Even Dao Instruction Pagoda(Renamed version Dao Instructing Institute) has outssed us. I feel in this generation, we will again rise to the peak- and the first step is, seizing the prize of Golden Fire Tournament." Elder Lin dered. " Elder Wang, Prepare the zing me Hall."

    Chapter 164: Nameless(Chapter)

    After all of them left, Yang Shi sat there and began to cultivate. At this point, Yang Shi felt that he had been neglecting his cultivation a bit too much. But he can''t be helped. He felt there is ack of motivation and ambition, which is hindering his mind. " Well, Once I reach Azure Wind City, I will see many great experts. My fighting spirit will be ignited once again." Yang Shi mumbled. He felt another reason for hisziness to fight is, that he is an assassin.

    To be honest, Assassins are roamers in the darkness, lurking in the shadows. They never fight in the frontline and always attack from the dark. Moreover, The iron rule of assassination is- one shotting enemy in the first strike, else retreat with full speed. Yang Shi actually quite conflicted inside? What to do? Focusing his power at one point and kill instantly? Or igniting his fighting spirit, charge among heroes, fighting with heart''s content?

    " Bah, Since when I have begun to think this deeply? I will be like grass, bending in the direction in which wind blows." Yang Shiughed loudly.

    Yang Shi rummaged through his spatial ring and finally found another forgotten thing. It''s the Bloodfire Fruits, which he obtained from the disciples of the Golden Sun Sect. They were bringing these fruits for their Senior Brother Zhang. These fruits contain me attribute qi, along with metal qi. Although it can''t boost the amount of Spiritual qi in his body, it can make his fire qi and metal qi purer.

    Yang Shi realized that, in his Gold Devil Seal, out of nineyers, only two and half had been filled. Once he filled the first threeyers, he will achieve the embryonic Gold Devil Body. Yang Shi ate one fruit and channeled its energy to the Gold Devil Seal. In four hours, he consumed both fruits. The secondyer filledpletely. Yang Shi managed to reach the thirdyer. " The hell, These two fruits can easily promote someone''s cultivation stage, yet, it only filled half of the secondyer?" Yang Shi cursed in his heart

    He divided the energy of the fruit into two parts, the fire qi was fed the Crimson Lily while metal qi went to the Gold Devil Seal. Yang Shi stretched his arms as he revolved his Spirit Fire in the Crimson Lily. He felt his spirit fire has been raised a notch by both quality and quantity. Yang Shi nodded in satisfaction, " I will fill the thirdyer when I will visit zing me Hall. Oh right, I should be going there tonight. I hope Elder Lin made his preparation." Yang Shi thought in his mind.

    ..................................

    " Hey, Shi Kun! You actually going to that new teacher''s ss?"

    " Haha, These six, is that brat teaching you well? Some elseughed.

    " Hah, I don''t have many credit points left, so I am just passing time there." Shi Kunughed as he hid his true intentions since Yang Shi forbade them.

    " Haha, I know. Poor guys, it must be hard on you." Many of the disciples pitied them.

    " Where is that bastard Li Gong? A group of disciples came shouting as they reached Shi Kun and Xin Rou. " Ah- Brother Tong, Li Gong already left." Shi Kun stuttered as he lowered his head. " Hmph, That cowardly bastard! Just wait till tomorrow, I will break his bones." Brother Tong sneered.

    " And you guys, better remain truthful to me, else, hehe." Heughed maliciously as he looked at Shi Kuna and the five. Then he turned around and left. " Damn it! Just because he is an adept cksmith and student of Elder Guo, he thinks he owns Golden Fire Tower?" Xin Roun spat angrily. " Xin Rou, you know we shouldn''t mess with them." Shi Kun sighed. " Brother Shi, Have you forgotten that teacher Yang is with us now? If we all became adept cksmiths, then what can that Tong bastard do?" Xin Rou said as he looked around.

    Shi Kun''s eyes shone, but he still remained thoughtful. " Brothers, we six had braved and out fate tied with teacher Yang. Even something bad happens, did you forget that he is still a Master grade cksmith?" Xin Rou exined. " Xin Rou is right, we must work hard and let the world show the efforts of Teacher Yang." Shi Kun nodded. " Let''s find Li Gong and start memorizing Legends of Golden Valley." They nodded as they left.

    The reason students didn''t know about Yang Shi''s aplishment because Elder Lin had ordered everyone to maintain silent. Some of the elders wanted their disciples to learn from Yang Shi, but they got refused by Elder Lin. He knew why Yang Shi gave all those hundreds of students an incense stick of time. Other than these six, no one else believed Yang Shi. So yang Shi already made his mind to teach only these six.

    In the evening, The six came back to Yang Shi as Yang Shi began to question them. Yang Shi became satisfied that they almost remembered half of the Legend of Golden Valley. Especially Li Gong. He memorized almost 80%. " Since you have managed to memorize, Let''s go to the final part. Actual forging." Yang Shi smiled as he took out his forging table.

    " Whaa-" Their eyes sparkled as they looked at Yang Shi''s exquisite forging table. First of all, they don''t have their own forging table. They use themon one in the forging hall. They were already worn out because they are almost a hundred years old forging tables. Even their teachers don''t have such beautiful forging tables. With a flick, Yang Shi created a lump of me in his hands. It was pure golden in color, with the shape of a lily. " Is this teacher''s Spirit Fire?" Li Gong stared at the ming lily. " Well, I have minimized its power, but yes." Yang Shi nodded.

    " Now look carefully." Yang Shi''s face became serious as he ignited the furnace. With fast hands, he threw materials in it. " You guys better start making notes." Yang Shi said as he was putting the ores in the furnace. The disciples nodded as they looked carefully at Yang Shi. " I am teaching you how to forge a simple- Mortal grade weapon. It''s the basic weapon you must learn. But, what I am teaching you more is, a Mortal weapon which equivalent to a half Spirit grade weapon." Yang Shi said.

    All of them eximed as they heard about half Spirit grade weapons. This is the pinnacle of Mortal grade weapons, which can be easily converted into Spirit grade weapons. Making Mortal grade weapons are easy, but half Spirit grade is difficult. Yang Shi quickly pulled out the billet and began to hammer it. With sonorous sound, they became amazed as Yang Shi didn''t utilize any Spiritual qi to use his hammer. " Just how strong his physical body is? Shi Kun murmured.

    In just half incense stick of time, Yang Shi stopped forging as he blew out the fire. On his hand, a shiny de remained. Yang Shi casually threw it at Li Gong. Li Gong caught it as he looked at his reflection in the de. " Marvelous." Li Gong uttered as he fell in love with that de.

    Chapter 165: Training with Fire Qi

    Yang Shis'' speed was something they never witnessed. So they became flustered after Yang Shi finished making his sword. " What? Let''s go the forging hall and forge there." Yang Shi shouted. All of them nodded as they hastily went there. Due to i''s almost night, there are fewer crowds in the forging hall. Yang Shi watched them as they started their forging.

    " Shi Kun, increase the temperature in the beginning. Yes, Put Cold Iron now."

    " Xin Rou- Stop stop! Don''t put Silver ore crumb now."

    " Li Gong, Yes! Control the speed of smelting of ores. Now, hammer it."

    Yang Shi taught them for three hours straight as he felt his mouth going numb. " The heck! There are just too many ws in their forging technique." Yang Shi rubbed his forehead. After three hours, they finally finished forging. Yang Shi looked at their weapons as he shook his head. It looked pretty ordinary. Shi Kun''s weapon was the ugliest among them. It looked like a ck ruler, with lots of unrefined metal on it. Yang Shi looked that all of their weapons are middle tier Mortal grade. Li Gong barely managed to make a high tier on. But Yang Shi became surprised to see that none of them looked unhappy. They were grinning ears to ears.

    " Were you guys that bad before?" Yang Shi asked helplessly. " Indeed, It''s my first time when I managed to forge a weapon in a single try." Shi Kun nodded. " You guys better work hard. I want to see each of you forge at least three high-tier Mortal grade weapons by tomorrow. This is your task." Yang Shiughed. The disciple''s face turned stiff as they became nervous. Just making middle tier weapon are hard for them, high tier? They felt it way too difficult.

    Yang Shi didn''t care about them as he went straight to Elder Lin''s resident. " Eh? You came quite early? I was thinking to send someone to call you." Elder Linughed. " Come with me." He asked Yang Shi to follow him. After many twists and turned, YangShi reached a magnificent gate. Elder Lin took out a badge as showed it. The gate slowly opened as Yang Shi saw a giant building inside. From outside of the gate, it looked extremely normal. " Illusion Formation?" Yang Shi asked in surprise.

    " Yes. zing me Hall is the heart of our Golden Fire Tower. It''s the entrance to the Fire vein. Of course, it''s the most guarded ce. The formations are powerful enough to repel several Violet Pce Expansion realm experts." Elder Linughed. Yang Shi nodded as he went inside. It was spacious enough to amodate ten thousand people. There was only a door, leading to the underground. " The zing me Hall was divided into five floors. I think you should only go to the second floor. After that, the heat from the Fire vein increases tremendously.

    " Is there any kind of restriction after that? I mean, what if I can endure the heat on the third floor?" Yang Shi asked. " Well, I am just warning you. You can go down further, but you should retreat immediately if you feel something wrong. Here, this an escape token, Use it if you feel you can''te to the exit." Elder Lin said in a serious tone. " I will." Yang Shi nodded. He absorbed energy from the Metal vein in the Eastern Valley town and felt it was indeed tyrannical qi. This Fire Vein was more than a hundred times powerful than the Metal vein, so Yang Shi thought to remain on guard.

    The door opened as Yang Shi''s vision dyed in crimson. Felt the temperature around him increase by tenfold. He stepped into it as his figure vanished. He felt walked into another ne. It was arge hall, with tens of room. " I was supposed to cultivate in those rooms. Well, Let''s go to the second floor right now." Yang Shi giggled as he rushed to the second floor. When he reached the second floor, he felt heat rose again. He chose on of the room as began to revolve Great Yang Sr me Art.

    That ce had a very rich fire qi, so Yang Shi quickly gathered fire qi in his dantian. The efficiency impressed Yang Shi as his quality of Spirit me began to increase. He condensed the true appearance of his Spirit Fire as he held it in his palms and sat in the lotus position. The Spirit me bing stronger in every second. " Hmm, It''s too slow. I have only time of twelve hours." Yang Shi muttered.

    " Hey, Let''s go further. I feel a strong amount of fire qi mixed with metal qi down there. I think I can also cultivate there a bit." Jin Yu shouted. Yang Shi thought as he decided to head for the third floor. After reaching the third floor, Yang Shi''s clothes caught fire as they burnt to crisp. Moreover, his skin already started to turn red. Yang Shi revolved his Gold Devil Seal as his skin got protected by a thinyer of golden light. " The heat is too high here. No wonder it''s a thousand-year-old fire vein." Yang Shi chuckled.

    In the third floor, along with pure fire qi, metal also existed, as intense heat melted underground minerals, refining their energy and defusing it in the air. Yang Shi fed fire qi to his Spirit Fire and metal qi in his Gold Devil Seal. " You wait here, I will go further." Jin Yu came out of her egg as she went down directly to the fifth floor. Yang Shi sat quietly on the third floor as he immersed himself to raise his Spirit me into third grade. After six hours, the Crimson Lily in his dantian zed with mes as Yang Shi''s Spirit me became blue in shade.

    " Finally, It turned to grade three. Grade three mes are the minimum requirement to forge True Grade weapons." Yang Shi smiled. But he still had a long way to go, to able to forge True grade weapons. But Yang Shi''s suddenly thought something. " Wait, aren''t their detection formations? If Jin Yu went directly to the fifth floor, won''t she be detected by it?" Yang Shi panicked. Although he knew Jin Yu is an ancient beast, he didn''t dare to underestimate Golden Fire Tower.

    Yang Shi dashed to the fourth floor. He felt pressure on his body became intense as he finally used his Spiritual qi to protect his body. " Holy fuck! The heat is almost five hundred degrees celsius." Yang Shi eximed. He walked slowly through the fourth floor. When he opened the door to the fifth floor, He suddenly felt an urge to going back. Just standing at the entrance, Yang Shi felt his Spiritual qi almost got evaporate by the fire qi on the fifth floor. " No, I can''t step on the fifth floor." He hurriedly came back to the fourth floor.

    " Don''t worry, I am using a concealment technique." Jin Yu''s voice sounded in his mind. Yang Shi sighed in relief as he sat to cultivate on the fourth floor. The metal qi is better than the third floor, so he greedily began to fill his Gold Devil Seal. After four hours, Yang Shi''s opened his eyes. One could see golden light shing in his eyes.

 Chapter 166: Stone Tablet

    Chapter 166: Stone Tablet

    Yang Shi smiled as he finally cultivated the embryonic form of Gold Devil Seal. A golden ray enveloped his body as he looked like basking the liquid gold. Yang Shi felt his skin toughened like gold. He smiled as he condensed a short sword from the metal qi. The thin thread-like metal qi merged as became a short sword. Yang Shi shed it with his might.

    *CHI CHI CHI* With sharp noise, the golden sword tore through the air as it made shallow cuts in the floor. Yang Shi became surprised at the sharpness of his metal qi. This floor was made from theva rocks of fire veins. Even ordinary Spirit grade weapons can''t make a scratch on it. But Yang Shi''s metal qi was sharp enough to cut the surface of the rocks. But just like that, Yang Shi felt his condensed sword is draining his spiritual qi at a faster rate. But Yang Shi felt such a rate of consumption is normal. " The more powerful the technique, the faster it devours spiritual qi." Yang Shi muttered.

    " I wonder what is Jin Yu doing inside? It''s almost time." Yang Shi prepared to enter the fifth floor. He used the embryonic Gold Devil Body as his whole body covered with golden light in the shape of armor. " Haha, It much looks like Thousand Buddha Golden Body, but its defensive power is much more than that." Yang Shiughed. He passed through the fifth floor. Due to his Gold Devil Body, he felt the temperature decreased greatly. He saw Jin Yu sat in the middle of the hall with a red halo surrounding her. With Yang Shi''s Celestial view, he could see a faint apparition of a giant golden roc behind her, devouring the energy of the fire vein.

    " Wow, It seems she cultivates an Immortal grade technique." Yang Shi shrugged as he walked around the fifth floor. It was more spacious as it had a giant door in the end. " Eh? Wasn''t it suppose to be only five floors in the zing me Hall? What''s behind that door?" Yang Shi became curious. There are many mysterious runes on the door, looked like worms wriggling on it. Yang Shi ced his hands over it. But the moment he ced his hands, he felt his mind nked out.

    He felt a suction force as his vision cked. He felt he was standing in another space. " A pocket dimension?" Yang Shi frowned. " No, It''s like an illusion formation." Yang Shi thought. He felt he was still on the fifth floor. Suddenly, he got surprised as he saw a giant stone tablet in front of him. It looked very ancient and excluded a divine aura. Yang Shi felt he was being oppressed by the stone tablet. " What is this?" Yang Shi used his Celestial view as he looked at the stone tablet.

    He felt his surrounding changed as he looked around. Now he was amidst a sea of mes. He saw mes of every color around him, burning the entire world. He felt the heat increased rapidly. This time, Yang Shi really got frightened. He felt even the Gold Devil Body is useless here. " Crap! Isn''t it suppose to be an illusion formation? Why it feels so real?" Yang Shi panicked. It looked like purgatory mes that burn someone''s flesh and soul. No matter how much he tried, he felt his legs glued to the ground. " Fuck! I swear I will never touch any suspicious things again." Yang Shi cursed loudly. ut to his helplessness, he finally got consumed by mes.

    Yang Shi''s eyes snapped open as he looked around. The scenery around him changed again. He saw he was in a vast field, stretched to the horizon. Suddenly, he looked ahead as he became bbergasted. He saw a person standing, wearing white robes. The sun in the sky looked iparably close to him, like with a stretch of hand, he can grab it. " Fire originated from Yang affinity. Sun represents true fire. Refining mes of Sun, refining true yang fire." The person''s word''s buzzed in Yang Shi''s mind.

    Suddenly, that man stretched his hands to the sky. Just like a meteor falling from space, arge lump of fire fell from the sun. The firended on the man''s palm as it began to burn slowly. Yang Shi''s eyes shrunk violently as he looked at the person with a white robe. " Origin Core realm? Hah, That man is far powerful than that." Yang Shi thought. The me in his hand was pure white, illuminated by a golden shade. Yang Shi understood that me was transcended the ninth rank and entered a mythical realm. Just a spark of that me enough to incinerate the world.

    Suddenly, that man looked at Yang Shi. Yang Shi''s felt his soul leaving his body as his vision turned white. *HAAAA* Yang Shi gasped for air as he coughed violently. He looked around as he saw he was still in the fifth floor. Jin Yu already awakened from her meditation and looking at Yang Shi with curiosity. Yang Shi sat back in a meditative position as he closed his eyes. He felt there was a string of information in his mind. " Great Yang Sr me Art. It has threeyers. Uncle Bao taught me the firstyer and told me to get the remaining one from the Golden Fire Tower. Haha, what I thought was true. It''s the core technique of Golden Fire Tower. Maybe that white-robed person was the progenitor." Yang Shi chuckled.

    He felt even Unle Bao had only understood the secondyer of Great Yang Sr me Art. Maybe he didn''t have the thirdyer or he couldn''t able toprehend it. If Uncle Bao''s Great Yang Sr me Art is a small pond, then what Yang Shi received is an ocean worth of knowledge. This is the authentic Great yang Sr me Art. " Melding Yang with Fire, eh?" Yang Shi rubbed his chin. This floor was great to cultivate his me Demon Seal, another seal of Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body Technique." But, I will at least a month here, to get embryonic me Demon Body. I don''t have that time." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " What happened to you?" Jin Yu asked Yang Shi, looking at her dazed expression. " Nothing. Just had a fateful encounter." Yang Shi smiled. " Nowe back. We are leaving."

    He knew his time limit is near, so he got up and went to exit. The mysterious door remained the same, filled withplicated runes. Yang Shi came and put on another robe as he walked out from the zing me Hall. He saw Elder Lins standing outside the hall. " It seems I have troubled Elder Lin." Yang Shi smiled. " Well, I never thought you will able to reach the fifth floor." Elder Lin sighed. " There are monitoring formations." Yang Shi chuckled. Elder Lin only smiled as he said, " What did you see on the fifth floor?" He asked.

    " Are you talking about the stone tablet?" Yang Shi said. " You indeed saw that ancient stone tablet." Elder Lin became emotional. " I hope Elder Lin can borate." Yang Shi chuckled. " We can talk about itter. There is another interesting thing happening right now." Elder Lin smiled. " What is it?" Yang Shi became curious.

    " Your students are fighting."

 Chapter 167: No, I didnt broke my word

    Chapter 167: No, I didn''t broke my word

    Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as he heard Elder Lin. With a thought, h asked, " Is it Li Gong?" He remembered when he asked why Li Gong wanted to join his ss. It was because he was hiding from his enemy. " How is the situation?" Yang Shi asked. " Tong Xi challenged Li Gong because a week ago, Li Gong somehow offended him. Today is the day of their duel. We should go now, else, We mighty bete." Elder Lin smiled.

    They both reached the duel arena, where Tong Xi stood proudly. He also saw Shi Kun and the party. They were surrounded Li Gong. " Brother Li, you mustn''t sway by anger. You only broke through to Primordial Spirit Realm yesterday, yet you want to battle with Tong Xi? He reached the peak of second stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm." Xin Rou said impatiently. " No, I can''t go back on my words. The enmity between Tong Xi and me must be solved today." Li Gong said with a determined face. " But what if he cripples you?" Shi Kun asked worriedly.

    " Why don''t you ask teacher Yang? I feel he must have a solution. Right! Why don''t you ask a Spirit grade weapon from him?" Xin Rou pped his thigh. "This." Li Gong put into dillema. " No, I won''t give you any Spirit grade weapon." A voice startled them. They all looked and saw Yang Shi stood there with Elder Lin. " But..." Shi Kun tried to retort but Yang Shi only red at him.

    " I won''t provide any external help. But I know, You will win nheless." Yang Shi smiled. " You still have the half Spirit grade weapon, right?" yang Shi asked Li Gong. It was the sword which he made to teach the students." " Yes." Li Gong nodded as passed that sword to Yang Shi. YangShi gently caressed it.

    " Just remember what I have taught you. Do not waver, and charge bravely. Seize the opportunity and grab the victory." Yang Shi stopped caressing the sword as he gave it back to Li Gong. " Teacher..." Li Gong became silent but when he looked at Yang Shi''s calm eyes, he nodded without hesitation. Many disciples were startled as they looked at Yang Shi. " Eh? Isn''t he is the new instructor?" " I feel those six really respectful to him." Someone else muttered.

    " Li Gong,e here, you coward!" Tong Xi roared from the arena. The crows cheered at Tong Xi. Li Gong snorted as he leaped on the arena, holding the half Spirit sword. " Hmph, You think you can win with that broken sword?" Tong Xi sneered as he brandished his saber. It was a beautiful saber with exquisite vermilion patterns. It was a low tier Spirit grade weapon. It''s forbidden to use weapons higher tier than low Spirit grade ones. Nheless, one could tell with closed eyes that Tong Xi''s weapon was superior to Li Gong''s.

    " Enough bbering. Let''s do it." Li Gong snorted as he charged at Tong Xi. Tong Xi swung his saber as he blocked Li Gong''s attack. " Taste my mefury Saber." Tong Xi shouted as he shed at Li Gong. His saber was enveloped by mes as it shot at Li Gong like a fiery tide. " Golden Fire Circle." Li Gong made a circr sword stance as he shed against Tong Xi''s mefury Saber. Li Gong felt a violent force acting on his body as he staggered backward. Looking at that, Tong Xi jumped forward as shed at Li Gong.

    *BOOM* Li Gong shot back as he crashed on the ground. But he quickly got up as he stared at Tong Xi. " Heh, I didn''t think you would reach Primordial Spirit Realm. But your efforts are futile." Tong Xiughed. Li Gong''s face remained poker, but his heart was in a mess. He already knew that if he wanted to win, he had to use some trick to fool Tong Xi. " Grab the opportunity, seize victory." Li Gong thought as he looked at Yang Shi.

    He grabbed his sword tightly as he shouted, " Tong Xi, you are just a cockroach! Just wait till I smash you under my toe." Tong Xi became stunned as his face turned red with anger. " Bastard! Just wait till I chop you into pieces." Tong Xi raged as he rushed at Li Gong like a mad bull. " Basic Three Fire Sword." Li Gong rapidly shed out his sword at Tong Xi. "

    " Dazzling Saber Break." Tong Xi roared. He knew his saber was better, so he can block his attack. Li Gong snickered as he suddenly jumped sideways. His sword sent three ming des at Tong Xi, which got destroyed by him. But then, Li Gong smirked.

    His first attack was a ruse while his true attack came afterward. Li Gong poured all of his qi in that attack. " Ember sh Draw." Li Gong roared. This was a yellow grade technique from the Foundation of Golden Fire. Suddenly, the sword shone with golden light as it cut through Tong Xi''s saber, like paper. Itnded on his chest as he got sted backward. But then, the sword of Li Gong trembled as it cracked a little. Nheless, it didn''t breakpletely in the end.

    Li Gong stood there bewildered. He never thought hisst attack would be this powerful. What even more surprising, his sword was able to cut the Spirit grade saber of Tong Xi with such ease. " Is it really a half Spirit grade weapon?" Li Gong gulped a mouthful of saliva. Elder Lin looked at Li Gong then he looked back at Yang Shi. " I thought you said, you won''t help him by external method? What''s with that sword then?"

    " Well, Honestly, it was just a safety measure. It was Li Gong''s willpower, which he managed to use it." Yang Shi shrugged. That''s right. While caressing Li Gong''s sword, Yang Shi imbued it with him metal qi. After getting the embryonic Gold Devil Body, he can control his metal qi skillfully. It was very sharp and powerful. He gave a thick strand of metal qi in his sword, so it could defend him if his life got threatened. But surprisingly, Li Gong''s Ember sh Draw resonated with it and managed to release the metal qi.

    The whole arena became silent as they felt their jaws hitting the ground. " Im-Impossible!" Someone muttered. " Li Gong did it!" Shi Kun and Xin Rou became ecstatic as they cheered loudly. Li Gongughed loudly as he jumped down from the stage as he got hugged by the five. " I see. That brat has potential. Not everyone can use a basic technique like Ember sh Draw and bring out so much power." Elder Lin muttered. To be honest, he never even heard about any of them, as they weren''t even talented enough toe in the top hundred ranks of disciples. But with Yang Shi''s grooming, they haveid a solid foundation, which will make their future path easier.

    " It''s still up to them, I can only guide them. They have to pursue their own dao. Well, I just hope you able to groom them nicely." Yang Shi shook his head. " Teacher!." They came running at Yang Shi/ Li Gong became emotional as he bowed before Yang Shi. " If it''s not for you, I would have crippled by Tong Xi." He said with agitation. " That''s alright. Anyway, Did you guys forged weapons which I told you yesterday?" Yang Shi asked with a smiling face.

    " This..." Their smiling faces stiffened as they looked at Yang Shi. Xin Rou proudly came forward as he said, " Teacher, I have finished them."

    " This rascal!" Everyone else red at Xin Rou. Especially Li Gong. He had spent yesterday in training, so he couldn''t able to forge them. " Well, it''s both punishment and reward. Now, all of you go and attend the examination of the adept cksmith." Yang Shi''s smile became even brighter.

    Shi Kun''s eyes became wide, not only Shi Kun''s but all of them. Xin Rou and Li Gong were only apprentice cksmiths. While the other four aren''t even apprentice cksmiths. They couldn''t help but flustered.

    " You think we can do it?" Shi Kun clenched his fist as he asked. " It''s not about what I think. It''s about what you think. Shi Kun, You always thought that your talent was worst of all. But have you ever thought, if a bucket has a hole, you can''t fill it even you fill it with an ocean. With my instruction, I have closed that hole of you. Now, It depends on you how to fill the bucket." Yang Shi''s tone became serious. " Moreover, I am leaving tomorrow, so I won''t able to teach you all." YangShi added.

    " We...We will, Teacher! We will definitely be adept cksmiths." All of them shouted. " What adept grade, Aim to be Grandmaster cksmiths." Yang Shiughed as he turned to leave. " Elder Lin, I thought you are telling something about the stone tablet?" Yang Shi smirked as he asked Elder Lin. " Let s talk in my manor." Elder Lin nodded.

 Chapter 168: Dao of Fire

    Chapter 168: Dao of Fire

    Yang Shi sat elegantly on the chair as he lit up his hazy dream cigar. " What''s that?" Elder Lin asked curiously. " It''s something like tobo. Inhaling it, it calms my mind." Yang Shi passed another one to Elder Lin. But then, he realized that it''s thest one. He wanted to stop, but couldn''t help but give it to Elder Lin. " Ugh, It seems my smoking addiction is catching up again." Yang Shi chuckled inwardly. " You have to light it and inhale slowly." Yang Shi puffed out a mouthful of smoke as he showed the process to Elder Lin.

    " Cough cough. It''s suffocating me." Elder Lin coughed as waved his hand to disperse the smoke. " Ahaha, It''s just a matter of practice. Anyway, now, tell me more about the stone tablet." Yang Shi smiled as he said to Elder Lin. Elder Lin sighed as his gaze became profound. " The progenitor of Golden Fire Huo Chi reached great heights in the dao of fire. When he understood the mysteries of the dao of fire, he engraved it on a stone."

    " Forter generations, He broke the stones in twenty-seven pieces, each containing a Heaven grade technique. If one looks carefully at the stone tablet, their understanding of the Dao of Fire with soar leaps and bounds. What even more, it hides the Great Yang Sr me Art." Elder Lin exined. " Then, what about the man surnamed Bao?" Yang Shi asked. " Ah. You must be talking about Tower master Bao Yuanjun. He had been the tower master from thest century. He also cultivated Great Yang Sr me Art."

    " Only those, who can cultivate the Great Yang Sr me art to the secondyer can inherit the position of Golden Fire Tower Master." Elder Lin chuckled. " Eh? Isn''t it''s pretty easy?" Yang Shi became baffled. " Easy? Hah! Just looking at the stone tablet for more than an incense stick of time can give severe headache. Moreover, deciphering the true Great Yang Sr me art from the stone tablet is no joke. Lord Bao had spent an entire year in front of that stone tablet, only to get technique till the secondyer. ording to records, Great Yang Sr me Art has threeyers. Moreover, the stone tablet had a will of Progenitor Huo Chi, so gaining the permission of that will is also necessary."

    Yang Shi loudlyughed in his heart. If Elder Lin and Tower Master Bao hear that the will of Huo Chi just gifted me the entier Great Yang Sr me Art, they might just die in a ss of water. Yang Shi didn''t need to study the stone table and draw out the Great Yang Sr me Art. But, theplete technique was directly injected into his consciousness. Nheless, He still felt he should have studied the tablet. " When I would reach such legendry realm?" Yang Shi felt a yearning in his heart.

    " Hmm, what about the other twenty six stone tablets?" Yang Shi asked. " Well, there are more than a hundred branches of Golden Fire Tower in the Southsea Domain, but only twenty-seven of them had the authority of the stone tablet. You can say, we twenty seven branches are the leader of the hundred branches." " Interesting, so there are twenty seven Heaven Grade techniques here, eh?" Yang Shi chuckled.

    " The world isn''t small as you think. Firmament City, Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom, Southsea Domain, Then holy Dynasties, all are just parts of the world. Golden Fire Tower is built by Heavenly me Valley. It''s situated in the center of Southsea Domain. The sects and ns you are seeing here, are parts ofrger factions in this world. Well, I shouldn''t say this all at once. Take your time and explore." Elder Linughed.

    " Heavenly me Valley and Huo Chi, Hmm...Why I find these names familiar?" Yang Shi thought. It''s not like he had ever heard them before. " No wait, could it be from memory of Samsara Emperor?" Yang Shi thought. " Goddamn, Why didn''t he gave all of his memory to me? Ugh, it''s so irritating." Yang Shi cursed in his heart. Due to the hazy, broken fragments of Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi felt he knew something, yet he doesn''t. It was aplex feeling.

    " Anyway, I should go back now. I am very grateful that Elder Lin exined the matter with patience." Yang Shi cupped his fist. " I know you are going to the capital. Honestly, although Azure Wind City looking calm now, the undercurrents are everywhere. Always be careful there. There is another branch of Golden Fire Tower there. Just show them your master grade token and you will be good there." Elder Lin said. The Golden Fire Tower in the Firmament City is the true one in the Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. But there is another small Golden Fire Tower in the Azure Wind City. Its purpose was to control the flow of business of Golden Fire Tower.

    Moreover, That''s where most alchemists of Golden Fire Tower resides. After all, The royal capital is the best ce to sell pills and herbs. Somehow, Alchemists are more popr than cksmiths. Alchemists refine pills more often than weapons made by cksmiths. Their pills get sold continuously, making them richer. cksmiths are more entric. Their weapons might not get sold for weeks. But, Yang Shi didn''t care about it. Whether it''s cksmiths, alchemy, or rune drawing, each has its own dao. One shouldn''t belittle any of them.

    Yang Shi came back to his manor as he sat to cultivate. He circted his Great Yang Sr me Art as he refined his Spirit Fire. " Interesting, With the power of my Spirit Fire, I can burn Eighth stage cultivators with ease. There are lots of techniques in Great Yang Sr me Art." YangShi thought. Due to his Gold Devil Body and his cksmithing profession, his Spirit Fire had the attribute of Metal qi. So along with its pure white me, there is a trace of gold in it. " Mm, But having Metal qi mixed in my Spirit Fire, I might face a problem if I were to try alchemy." Yang Shi chuckled

    Alchemist also uses Spirit Fire to refine pills, but their Spirit Fire is mixed with Wood qi. It''s natural that Wood opposes Metal. " I should try to refine my Wood Spirit Body before embarking on the path of alchemy. But, Since I have awakened my Gold Devil Seal, I might face difficulty if I were to open Wood Spirit Seal. I should try to awake the Water Celestial Seal." Yang Shi thought. Water doesn''t conflict with Metal, so he thought to awake it before Wood Spirit Seal.

    If he achieved the embryonic body of all five elemental seals, his body will transform into Initial Chaos Fiend Body. He will able to control five elements with just a snap of his fingers. His body would give him a huge advantage over stronger opponents. After that, Yang Shi took out his Crimson Dusk daggers and practiced for a while. There was a saying in Earth- <em>In Jianghu, Speed reigns. </em>Yang Shi wanted to refine his knives skill to the extreme. " Phantom Cut!" Yang Shi shouted. His daggers became a blur as replicas of daggers appeared in the air. No one could tell which are the real daggers and which are after images.

    *SWISH SWISH* The dagger shed as many cuts appeared on the training dummy. Yang Shi nodded as he thought about his dagger move- Just like a phantom, one can''t see its trajectory. With such ghastly speed, the enemy would be diced into pieces before he could know what happened. " Hey, The egg is about to hatch." Jin Yu suddenly shouted in his mind. Yang Shi got pleasantly surprised as he took out the egg of Sword Feather Condor. The egg hummed as it sucked surrounding Spiritual Qi.

 Chapter 169: Ugly Bird

    Chapter 169: Ugly Bird

    The egg of Sword Feather Condor buzzed as Yang Shi could feel a strong life force inside it. His eyes gleamed with excitement as he thought about getting a flying mount. Getting a flying mount is a dream of many cultivators. Flying beasts are rare and very difficult to tame. If Yang Shi went to the capital and sold the egg of Sword Feather Condor, He might even get spirit stones as payment. People like Sword Feather Condor more because it can evolve into an Ancient Beast and can be a guardian beast for smaller ns.

    This alone tells how precious are such beasts. Yang Shi glued to that egg as thin cracks spread over the surface of the egg. " Hurry! Give it your blood and sign a blood contract right now. This is a perfect time." Jin Yu shouted. Yang Shi bit his index finger as he dropped blood on it. The blood instantly got absorbed by the egg. But suddenly, it started sucking more blood from his finger. " The hell!" yang Shi suddenly remembered such things that happened in the past. It was precisely Jin Yu who sucked Yang Shi''s blood like a vampire, from the golden egg.

    "But this egg took a very small amount of bloodpared to Jin Yu. Damn, Why you beasts like to suck my blood?" Yang Shi was vexed. " Well, I told you before. Your blood is just too rich in vitality and filled with a mysterious power. It''s very beneficial to us beasts." Jin Yu shrugged. Yang Shi could only sigh as he focused on the egg. He could feel the life form inside it. The cracks spread as a blinding light came out from it. The spiritual qi surged around it as Yang Shi could see spirit of a giant bird. Its feather life glittering silver, one couldn''t help but feel its fur. With its sharp eyes, one could feel the piercing gaze. A heavy demonic qi soared to the sky. Yang Shi could see that its bloodline is even pure than its mother.

    " Finally, all waiting." the lights scattered as Yang Shi rushed to see the beast. But Yang Shi''s smiling face stiffened as he saw what hatched out of the egg.

    It was arge, ugly raven. It wasrge as a calf. " Kaaa Kaaa." It cried like a crow as it started rubbing its head against Yang Shi''s leg. " Is this...Sword Feather Condor?" Yang Shi was bewildered. " Could it be you are some Immortal Dark Crow? No, wait! The script is wrong! Where is the image of that majestic bird with ferocious strength?" Yang Shi thought.

    But unfortunately, that wasn''t the case. No matter how Yang Shi looked at it, it didn''t resemble a beast with a powerful bloodline. Yang Shi almost raged to pull his hair out of frustration. " Jin Yu, are you sure this the egg of Sword Feather Condor? Or somehow, the original egg was reced by another egg?" Yang Shi asked Jin Yu. " It''s hard to believe, but...It is a Sword Feather Condor." Jin Yu said with a deep voice. " I feel, due to the ident that happened while it was in the egg, it couldn''t revert to its original form." Jin Yu muttered.

    " Little guy, can you transform into the bird which was condensed by that light?" Yang Shi asked it with a pleading tone. The crow looked at Yang Shi with clear eyes as it nodded. Yang Shi''s face turned happy as he saw the response. " At least it can understand humannguage." He thought. He took a few steps back. The crow emitted dazzling light as it grew in size. It almost became high as a one-story building. But when the light dissipated, Yang Shi''s smile also vanished. It was still the same ck crow, albeit with a bigger size.

    Yang Shi felt he was going to vomit blood from anger. He was never been so much angry ever. " Scam! This is a fucking scam!" Yang Shi screamed in his heart. " Don''t worry so much. Although this fellow is a bit ugly, I can feel it''s already a peak rank Ferocious beast. Moreover, With its pure bloodline, it can easily advance to be an Ancient beast." Jin Yu exined in Yang Shi''s mind.

    " In the end, It''s still a Ferocious beast. How can we reach Azure Wind City in a few days? I feel Uncle Mo''s horses are better." Yang Shi snorted.

    " You even didn''t saw its power. How can you tell that its speed is slow?" Jin Yu asked angrily. Yang Shi was startled as he thought about it. It was a little odd to think this fellow can match the speed of a Sword Feather Condor. " Fine! You cane back to your original self." Yang Shi sighed. The crow nodded as it shrank back to normal. It pped its wings and sat on the shoulders of Yang Shi. Yang Shi could only remain depressed as he went back to his room. He thought when the egg hatches, he would depart for Azure Wind City immediately. But now, he was mentally exhausted, so he just went to sleep.

    " Oh! Wait! Since you just came out of the egg, you must need nutrition. Here, Take this." Yang Shi took out a Demonic beast corpse and threw it on the ground. The ck crow pped its wings as it chewed the beast meat while standing on it. Fust in a few minutes, it finished eating the flesh of the beast, which wasrge as a bull. Yang Shi turned speechless as he saw the gluttony of this little bird.

    "Ugh, I am going to sleep." Yang Shi muttered as he fell on the bed with his tiered body.

    He slept very soundly, as he didn''t know how much time had passed. But then, he suddenly heard a knock on the door. " Master Yang!" Someone shouted from outside. " Mm? Who is it?" Yang Shi yawned as he got up. " Eh? It''s already morning?" Yang Shi looked through the window. " Master Yang, someone wishes to meet you?" The servant bowed as Yang Shi opened the door. " Me? Who is it?" Yang Shi was surprised. " Master Yang! He is saying he is from the Lan family of Eastern Valley Town." the servant said.

    " Lan family?! Where is he?" Yang Shi became pensive as he rushed to the gate. There, he saw a middle aged man standing. " Ahh! Yo-you are young noble Yang!" That middle aged man startled as he saw Yang Shi. " Aren''t you the butler of uncle Lan?" Yang Shi referred to the Lan Xiaozi, father of Lan Yue. " Ah! Young noble still remember this old man." The middle aged man smiled. " Please,e inside." Yang Shi brought him to his house. " Tell me, what happened? Why you came here?" Yang Shi asked in surprise.

    " Young noble, you should already know about the enmity between Lan family and Li family. After you killed several of their powerful guards, Li family''s strength got weaker. But after a few days, their young master, Li Changfeng came back. He had gotten a firm foothold in the outer sect of the Golden Sun Sect. He and another three Primordial Spirit realm experts came to the Li family, as they joined their hands." The middle aged man sighed.

    " What! Is Lan Yue and other are alright?" Yang Shi became anxious. " Fuck, I should have killed all of them." Yang Shi cursed.

    " Thankfully, Young miss and Patriarch salvaged the situation." The middle aged man''s tone became strange. " Salvaged? Then why did youe here? Tell me clearly!" Yang Shi became impatient. " Uhh... The thing is... Young miss had killed all the disciples of the Golden Sun Sect." The middle aged man slowly said. Yang Shi became stunned.

    " You mean, she is the one who killed Li Changfeng and three other Primordial Spirit realm experts?" Yang Shi asked in a weird voice. " Yes, She was asking your help because she killed them. Now, she is panicked as we can''t really face those sects. That why she asked for your help."

    " Ok, tell me in detail."

 Chapter 170: Black Crows Prowess

    Chapter 170: ck Crow''s Prowess

    " So, after Patriarch get wind of their intention, they called a secret meeting. They decided to attack them first. Patriarch was intelligent. He used Lan Zhu as bait and sent him to the Li family. Lan Zhu''s nature was already known by the whole town. So, Patriarch used him as a distraction as he gathered force in dark. The Li family was naturally got hooked by Lan Zhu''s proposal. But then, our family attacked them."

    " Actually, the reason they were being cautious was you, young noble. Without knowing your origin, they hesitated to make move on us immediately. Haha, Those bastards thought Lan Zhu was going to betray Lan Family and help them instead. Hahaha, Lan Zhu bought us enough time to strike them"

    " It was a fierce fight. Especially the cultivators from the Golden Sun Sect, their battle techniques were frightening. Patriarch held three strange daggers as he sneaked attacked one of them. With the help of that dagger, one cultivator died. Miss held a longsword as she battled two of them. Strangely, whenever an attack came at Miss, it got blocked by some invisible wall." The middle aged man told the story with excitement. His spittle was flying everywhere as he described the bloody battle.

    Yang Shi smiled as he listened to him. " It seems Lan Xiaozi really liked the Dark Twilight daggers. As for Lan Yue, I never thought she would able to master Radiant Guard this fast. Thankfully, she really saved the day." Yang Shi thought as he remembered he had gifted her a Spirit grade weapon. He didn''t think it was the right choice back then.

    " The battlested for a dozen hours, in the end, we managed to kill all of them. But yes, we also had numerous casualties. We have burned their bodies. There are no traces. But the sect..." The middle aged man frowned. " You don''t need to worry about that. Tell me, what robes those disciples were wearing?" Yang Shi asked after a thought. " Uhh, they were wearing white clothes, with a sun emblem on their back." The middle aged man replied. " Oh, they are just outer disciples." Yang Shi breathed in relief. If they were Inner disciples, things might have turned worse.

    " The Sect really doesn''t care about outer disciples. But still, It seems I need to ensure things." Yang Shi pondered. He remembered that he also killed a bunch of Inner disciples as he acquired Bloodfire Fruits. The sect might start investigation in the Eastern Mountain area as they lost too many disciples there. " It seems I have to go to Azure Wind City and make things clear." Yang Shi made a mental note.

    " You don''t need to worry. For now, assimte the wealth of the Li family and try your best to grow. I will send you some capable cksmiths. They will help you in every regard." Yang Shi stated. " I am in a bit of a hurry, so I can''t go with you. Nheless, tell Lan Yue to send the message to this ce, and I will able to receive it at the fastest speed." Yang Shi gave him an address. It was a secret location of Blood Moon Hall. With it, Yang Shi can get the message quickly.

    " I see. I just hope young noble will visit us soon. Lady misses you." The middle aged man said with an embarrassed tone. Yang Shi startled as he gave a warm smile. " Heh, it seems there is a change of n." Yang Shi pped his thigh. " Little Crow,e out." He shouted. " Kaww Kaww." with cawing, a ck crow came flying as it sat on Yang Shi''s shoulder. " Little Guy, can you able to fly fast enough?" Yang Shi teased it as he rubbed under its beak. " Caww!" The crow pped its wing as it nodded. " Are you able to carry me and this man?" Yang Shi asked. The crow nodded again.

    " Then, Let''s see whats you are capable of!" Yang Shi shouted. The crow flew off as itnded on the ground. Then its body started to inte as its size grew. After it reached its maximum size, Yang Shi felt he was like a cycle in front of a truck. Yang Shi nodded as he jumped on its back. It was soft and mushy, Yang Shi mumbled. " Come, Jump on it." Yang Shi looked at the middle aged man as he shouted. The middle aged man already became dumbstruck as he looked at the crow''s size. " Heavens! It''s evenrger than those beasts of Eastern Mountain." He awed.

    He hurriedly climbed on its back and sat behind Yang Shi. The crow shook its body as it pped its wings. " Don''t disappoint me." Yang Shi muttered as he closed his eyes. Suddenly gusts of cold wind blew past his face as he opened his eyes. His surrounding was moving quickly as he became amazed. He could see he was flying! " Holy! Its speed is greater than my Starlight Burst." Yang Shi eximed. Within a few breathes, the crow left the Firmament City as it flew to the Eastern Valley Town.

    Yang Shi felt he was flying a jet as heughed loudly. In his past life, he had never sat in an airne, but today, his dream was fulfilled. No, not even traveling in an airne would have this fun. Yang Shi could feel the clouds hitting his ce as he could see miles ahead. " Eh? Why are you so silent?" Yang Shi turned around and the middle aged man trembling violently as he tightly clutched the feathers of the ck crow. He seems on verge of passing out. " Haha, it seems you are afraid of heights." Yang Shi chuckled. " No- I mean, we are going too fast." The middle aged man nervouslyughed.

    Just within an hour, the group reached Eastern Valley Town. With Yang Shi''s speed, he would take an entire day to reach there, while the ck crow arrived there in one hour. Yang Shi was amazed by its speed. " Haha, I wonder how much your speed will be after you be a Demonic Beast." Yang Shi chuckled as he caressed the head of the crow. The crow nodded as he cawed in happiness. By then, there are town guards circled around the big crow. They were frightened by the appearance of such a flying beast.

    " Soldiers! Stay in formation." The captain shouted as they warily looked at the crow. " Wait1 Wait1 Its'' me!" The middle aged man shouted as he waved his hand. " Eh? Isn''t he Lan family''s butler?" The guards became astonished as they looked at the tiny figure of that man above the back of the ck crow. " Don''t attack! It''s a tamed beast of young noble Yang!" the butler shouted. " Young noble Yang?" The guards became confused. " Yes! Young noble Yang. W-wait! Where did he vanish?" The butler became surprised as Yang Shi wasn''t there. He didn''t know when Yang Shi left.

    Meanwhile, Yang Shi used his Starlight Burst as he quickly reached a courtyard. He silently opened the window and jumped into that room.

 Chapter 171: Change of Plan

    Chapter 171: Change of n

    Lan Yue sat on a chair, flipping through a bunch of papers. " Wow, Li family has so many assets in Firmament City. It seems our family would need at least a month to grasp over over them." Lan Yue muttered. She was browsing through the ount books of the Li family and couldn''t help but be astonished. The Li family had amassed wealth greater than her Lan family. " Thankfully, with young noble''s help, they were able to raze the Li family." Thinking about Yang Shi, Lan Yue''s eyes became tender. Whenever she was in danger, that young man came and rescue her, like some fairytale.

    Suddenly, she got startled as she felt someone''s presence behind her. A hand covered her eyes as her vision ckened. " Miss Lan, were you missing me?" Lan Yue was to attack but suddenly, her expression changed when she heard the voice. " Yo-young master Yang?!" Lan Yue said in disbelieve. Yang Shi removed his palms as he turned Lan Yue. Lan Yue''s eyes turned misty as she hugged Yang Shi and gave a fierce kiss. Yang Shi was surprised at the boldness of Lan Yue as he replied even more passionately.

    Their tongues intertwined as they sucked each other''s mouths. After a while, their lips parted as Lan Yue gasped lightly. " Miss Lan''s lips are sweet as ever." Yang Shi chuckled. Lan Yue''s cheeks turned red as she hummed bashfully. " Young Master, how did youe here?" She asked in surprise. " Hehe, your family butler told me everything. I am really pleased that you able to break through the Primordial Spirit Realm." Yang Shi smiled. " All because of Young Master''s pills." Lan Yue said with gratefulness.

    " Is young maser is going to stay here for a while?" Lan Yue asked with strange anticipation. " Ah1 Is Miss Lan is seducing me for nightly talks?" Yang Shi raised her chin with his fingers. His left arm was already wrapped around the waist of Lan Yue as his palms were over her butt. He rubbed there gently, making Lan Yue embarrassed. " Unfortunately, I am in hurry. I have to go to the Azure Wind City." Yang Shiughed bitterly. " Azure Wind City? The capital of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom?!" Lan Yue eximed. In her eyes, Azure Wind City was the same as an immortal city, with numerous Daoists and cultivators.

    " Can''t young master stay here only for a day?" Lan Yue sighed. She was reluctant to be parted from Yang Shi this quickly. Yang Shi hugged her as he whispered in her ears, " Don''t worry, I wille back soon." Lan Yue felt her heart bing warm as she tightly hugged Yang Shi. " Hehe, don''t think I forget that you owe me a night." Yang Shiughed. " Young Master, you are so shameless." Lan Yue chuckled as she heard Yang Shi''s lewd remark. " How are things going?" Yang Shi asked.

    " We arecking manpower. But, I am confident that we will take over the business of the Li family within a month. It''s just that we don''t have a stable foothold in Firmament City. With Li Changfeng''s status as a disciple of the Golden Sun Sect, they had established many shops in Firmament City. We really didn''t know that their roots were this deep. The time we should have known, the Li family would have destroyed us." Lan Yue smiled bitterly.

    " Lacking workers? Don''t worry. I will send a few people here. They are skilled cksmiths, and they would help you to manage things well. You should start some cksmithing workshops in Firmament City. That will help you financially." Yang Shi said. Lan Yue''s eyes sparkled as she heard Yang Shi. Yang Shi discussed with her for a while, after that, he got up. " Young master, you are leaving so early?" Lan Yue asked dejectedly, " Why don''t you meet Xiao Hai and Father?"

    " No, I am afraid if I met them, I really won''t able to leave early." Yang Shi smiled. " Just focus on cultivation for now. I wille back soon." Yang Shiughed as he left quickly. " Lan Yue sighed as he buried herself amidst the files again. Soon after that, Lan Hai came running into that room. " Elder Sister1 Do you know that Brother Yang came to Eastern Valley Town?" Lan Hai said with an excited tone. " How did you know?" Lan Yue asked. " Sister, You don''t know? There is a huge Ferocious Beast at the town gate. Old butler climbed down from it and said it''s the mount of Brother Yang." Lan Hai said. Lan Yue only smiled as she remained silent.

    " Old Butler! You are telling the truth?" The people surrounded the middle aged butler of the Lan family as they asked him many questions. " Yes, what do you think? Young master Yang is very powerful." the butler said with a proud voice. They looked at the big crow with awe. Using such a beast as a mount, how extravagant! Suddenly, they saw a blur as someone climbed over the ck crow. " Look! there he is!" Someone shouted. " Little crow, let''s go!" Yang Shiughed as the crow pped its wings. The onlookers were astonished by the wind gales as blew their clothes. Within a few breaths, the crow became a ck dot on the horizon.

    Yang Shi went back to the Firmament City and went to the Golden Fire Tower. He summoned six of his students. " Teacher! You are leaving?" Shi Kun asked. " Yes, I am going to the Azure Wind City. Are you guys prepared for the adept cksmithing exam?" Yang Shi asked. " Yes, We will give the exam in a few days." Li Gong noded. " After you give the exam, go to the Eastern Valley Town. Help Lan family in regards of weapons. You must listen to everything that their young miss says, you guys understand?" Yang Shi asked seriously. " As teacher wishes." All of them bowed.

    Yang Shi told them many other things and left the Golden Fire Tower. He went to visit Old Ghost''s mansion. But he became surprised that Old Ghost already left for Azure Wind City. " The heck! Why do I feel that he knew I was going to the Capital, so he went their first?" Yang Shi snorted. He bought a travel map from a store as he didn''t know the route of Azure Wind City. He climbed back on the ck crow as he flew to the south.

    " Azure Wind City! Here Ie!" Yang Shi''s eyes zed with fire as heughed loudly.

    ..........................................

    " Ugh how much we are going to dy?" Mo Xiang asked with an annoyed tone. " What? We have already covered two third way to the capital. Now I saw here something interesting, that why we need to stop. " Mo Yi snorted.

    " But there is our annual n meeting." Mo Xiang was vexed. He totally understood that Mo Yi was dying their journey for the sake of Yang Shi. But this time, he had a solid reason to dy. " Fuck! Where did that Double Horn Cloud Horsee from?" He cursed in his heart.

    On their way, they spotted a rare Demonic beast, the Double Horn Cloud Horse. It was the peak of Demonic Beast Rank. Mo Yi insisted to capture it. Mo Shan also agreed and chose to make a temporary camp here. After all, it''s just a matter of time when they reach the capital.

    " Brother Yang, I hope you can also reach there in time." Mo Yi muttered in his heart as he looked at the white horse in front of him.

    Yang Shi shuttled through the air as he was reading the map. Yang Shi asked the ck crow tond as it had flown nonstop for a day. Advancing against winds and clouds, the crow seemed to be tired. Yang Shi saw arge grassy ne as he chose to make camp there. " Hmm, ording to this map, I have covered a sixth of the path. This should be the wind nes." Yang Shi saw his surrounding. " Damn, This map isn''t detailed as I thought. I have to advance with thendmarks." Yang Shi snorted. " With this speed, I can reach Azure Wind City in seven days." The ck crow was only a Fierce beast, so its speed was limited.

    " Hmm, we will rest here for a night. As for you, take this." Yang Shi thought for a while as he passed a Demon beast core to the ck crow. " Caw?!" The ck crow was stunned as he looked at the beast''s core. It was very hesitant, whether to absorb it or not. That''s right, it was the core of the mother Sword Feather Condor. If the ck crow manages topletely absorb this, it would directly be a Demonic Beast. " It was thest will of your mother. Absorb this core and be a Demon Beast." Yang Shi sighed. " But, you can refine all the energy in one day. So, better absorb all the demonic qi and refine bit by bit." Yang Shi suggested. The crow nodded after a while as it began to absorb the demon core.

    Yang Shi slept under a small tree as he was also tired. The next day, they got up early as they continued their journey. The ck crow was intelligent. While flying at top speed, it used pressure to refine the demonic qi from the core. " Interesting, with its pure bloodline, It can refine that qi more quickly. I feel within a few days, it will be a Demonic beast." Yang Shi chuckled. For Yang Shi, the journey was very monotonous. Aside from talking with Jin Yu, it was silence throughout the journey.

    " Is this what they call, enduring loneliness?" Yang Shi chuckled. He wondered about those cultivators who enter closed dorr cultivations for hundreds and thousands of years. " What they pursue? Dao? Wealth? Fame? or Immortality?" Yang Shi pondered. For now, he didn''t have any strong drive which he wants to pursue. " Hmm, maybe, I haven''t seen the world enough, not making me feel excited. Samsara Emperor had lent me his memory, but how much I am using it?" Yang Shi mused.

    In this world, what he evercked? Food? Clothes? Women? Fame? Wealth? He has all of them. " Pfft, HAHAHAHAHA." Suddenly, Samsara Emperorughed in his mind. " Do you think you have all that a human being desires? Sure you have. But have you considered how you acquired them? Samsara Emperor chuckled. " In the Deep Sky Forest, for your revenge, you killed almost all of the Ma n. Then, you killed bandits. When you arrived in Misty Tower City, you took assassination as a job and killed many peoples for money."

    " For Bai Ruxue, you killed the Miao family of Leaping Carp Town. Ah, I also forgot that you killed many helpers of the Second Prince of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. Do you think after all these things, you can sit still?" Samsara Emperorughed. " Why not? If I just went somewhere and live like an ordinary person?" Yang Shi snorted. " But, can you?" Samsara Emperor retorted. " Path of cultivation is like a one way road. Once you started walking on it, it''s almost impossible to go back." Samsara Emperor stated inly. But one could feel a slight mncholy from his tone. Yang Shi also thought about this, but he was a little unwilling.

    But then, suddenly, the ck crow jerked as it circled the air. " Which bastard is courting death?!" Yang Shi cursed as he saw arrowsing at the ck crow. " CAW!!" The crow snarled as it pped its wings with great speed. The two sharp des of winds destroyed other iing arrows. Yang Shi saw a bunch of people with armor and cavalry standing below. " Little crow, let go down and check. I would like to see what these fuckers are up to." Yang Shiughed coldly. The crow nodded as he dove down from the sky.

    " Haha, It seems the arrow got him." A manughed. " Quickly! Capture that bird. It''s a flying-type Ferocious beast. We can use to escape fast." A young man shouted. " Young Master is right." A soldier wearing heavy armor replied. The crownded on the ground with a loud noise. Yang Shi jumped down as he red as the bunch of people. " Which bastard just fired the arrows at my mount?"

    " Your mount? This a tamed beast?" The young man became astonished.

    " Very good! Brat! Give us that ferocious beast and scram." The young man shouted as he looked at the crow with greedy eyes. " Another dickhead." Yang Shi sneered. " Are you the one whomanded to fire arrows?" Yang Shi asked again. " Young master, that person doesn''t seem to be simple." A soldier frowned. " What not simple? He is just at Sixth grade Primordial Spirit Realm." The young man snorted. His own cultivation was at the initial Fith stage. However, the soldier beside him has the pinnacle of Seventh stage cultivation.

    " Just kill him. We don''t have time to waste." The young man snorted. " Guards! Kill him and capture that beast!" The young man shouted. A dozen of soldiers drew out their weapons as they rushed at Yang Shi. Each of them was at Primordial Spirit Realm. " Haha, It''s been a while since I killed." Yang Shiughed sinisterly as a pair of crimson daggers appeared in his hands. The young man could only see a crimson blur as the guards marching forward suddenly stopped.

    *SHUA SHUA SHUA* With a sharp noise, blood sttered on the ground. The guards cried in agony as they tumbled on the ground, making the ground soaked in red. The young man was bbergasted as a chill crept up his spines. " Archers! KILL HIM!" He screamed frantically. But all he felt was a gentle breeze around his temples as crimson rays shed. The two archers behind them got their hearts pierced by Yang Shi''s Crimson Dusk daggers as they fell down. The dagger shot back to Yang Shi''s hands as he wiped the blood from it. Nheless, The daggers looked ominous after it tasted human blood.

    " This..." The armored soldier''s eyes went wide as he started to shivering. He felt they truly kicked an iron wall this time. " Young man, I know you are powerful, But we are from the Bei Family. You can put down your weapon and we will eave the matter." The guard said warily. " Bai Family?" Yang Shi''s expression turned shocked, " Is it one of the Four Great ns?" He asked with some worry. The guard became happy as he saw Yang Shi''s expression, but his smile stiffed when he heard the question.

    " N-No." He mumbled. Yang Shi''s shocked expression turned into a mocking one, " So, You think I will give a damn about this?" Yang Shiughed as his dagger shed again.

    After a while, another group of people reached there. The person''s nose twitched as he saw the bloody scene in front of him. " It seems some else killed Bei n members." That man slowly said. " Ad that person was efficient. It seems they all died almost at the same time." He added. " Look! A headless body!" Someone screamed. They rushed and saw the headless corpse, next to it was the head of a young man. " Bei family young master." Looking at his appearance everyone felt a cold shudder.

    Yang Shi sat calmly over the ck crow as he chuckled, " Samsara Emperor was right. Even I sat back and do nothing, some annoying bugs woulde to beg death."

 Chapter 173: Xiao Hei

    Chapter 173: Xiao Hei

    In the woods, the fighting sound could be heard. A group of people was watching the duel between a youngster and a Demonic beast. He was no other than Mo Yi, who was fighting with Cloud Horse. Mo Yi didn''t dare to be careless as he summoned his Primordial Spirit from the first ce. The Heavenly ze Stallion behind him neighed as he shed with the demonic horse. " Cloud Incineration sh!" His Sky Incineration Sword burned as it hacked at the demonic beast. " Arrgh! Human, die!" The horse raged as it stomped its feet.

    The ground shook as Mo Yi jumped. The demonic beast also used this momentum as it punched Mo Yi. Mo Yi sted back a hundred meters like a cannonball. " Haha, Finally, A worthy opponent." Mo Yi got up from the ground as he gripped his sword tightly. " I have learned a new move, let''s test this." Mo Yiughed. " Sword Cuts Nine Jade!" Mo Yi roared. His word became bright as it shot three bright rays. The Demonic horse became startled but it couldn''t dodge such a fast attack. Arge wound formed on its chest as it fell down. Mo Yi''s face was pale yet he was smiling. " I am still unable to execute this attack properly. Heh, It consumed almost all of my spiritual qi." Heughed bitterly. He walked to that corpse and took out a jade bottle. The bottle absorbed all the vital blood of the Demonic beast while Mo Yi took its core and horn.

    " Hehe, All ingredients for a Bloodline Refining pill." Mo Shan smiled as he looked at Mo Yi''s harvest. " Hmph! Brother Mo used his ultimate attack. If it was me, I would have defeated the beast without using my trump card." Liu Jie snorted. " Haha, I just wanted to test this new technique." Mo Yi chuckled. " Since we already got that beast, now we should leave." Mo Xiang cut in. " Hmm, Mo Xiang is right. Let''s depart in few hours." Mo Shan nodded. Mo Yi was a little dejected but he said nothing.

    ...............................................

    " Little Crow, I think we are prepared now. Cultivate and be a Demonic Beast." Yang Shi said. " Jin Yue and assist him." Yang Shi asked Jin Yu. " Well, I can only lend it my Demonic Qi" Jin Yu shrugged. " I am also bound by my curse." She sighed. The crow reverted back to its smaller form as it shrouded in a ck mist. " Man, It will take another day or two." Yang Shi sighed. Since he doesn''t have anything to do, he sat beside it and began to cultivate. " The surrounding spiritual qi isn''t bad." Yang Shi thought as he absorbed qi from his surroundings. At this point, this amount of spiritual qi can''t help Yang Shi.

    He would need at least five times denser Spiritual qi than here. " Hmm, Only if I had some spirit stones." Yang Shi sighed. But spirit stones are very precious. It''s the most desirable item for the ninth stage Primordial Spirit realm and Violet Pce Expansion Realm experts. " Hmm, But I am sure factions in Azure Wind City have spirit stones." Yang Shi won''t believe that an Ancient Kingdom with Violet Pce Expansion realm cultivatorscks spirit stones. It''s because spirit stone''s value is far much that of gold and silvers, it''s not used as general currency.

    " Hehe, I better get some spirit stones and cultivate to the Violet Pce Expansion realm. Only then, I would have the power to roam acrossnds." Yang Shi muttered. He also needs to cultivate his Primordial Fiend Body Seals. Yang Shi entered in a calm state with the help of his Azure Lotus primordial spirit. He wasn''t afraid of any Demonic beast as with the presence of Jin Yu and Little Crow, no beast would even dare to look at him. Time passed by as the crow umted more energy. Moreover, Jin Yu asionally sent a thin ck qi into the crow''s body.

    With another day passed, the crow finally cried in pain. Yang Shi opened his eyes as he saw the ck qi around the crow almost solidified. A faint image of a powerful Sword Feather Condor appeared above its head. It sucked all the ck qi as it screeched at the sky. The image turned into a ck light as it entered the body of that crow. The crow''s eyes snapped open as its body became bigger. This time, it didn''t turn back into Sword Feather Condor. But its furs became more glossy. Its w shone like steel swords. Its body emanated a dreadful aura. " Wait! This Sword Feather Condor... It mutated1" yang Shi cried in shock. With pure bloodline, there was a chance that the beast may mutate. But the rate of mutation is very low.

    Nheless, Mutated beasts can easily dominate another beast in the same rank. " Wow, Sword Feather Condor evolved into Obsidian Lightning Bird. " Hehe, From now, I will call you Xiao Hei." Yang Shi smiled. The crow became smalled as it pped its wind and sat on Yang Shi''s head. Yang Shi smiled as he got up. " Xiao Hei, let''s go." Yang Shi said. Xiao Hei coarsely said, " Ues...Mashterr."

    " Haha, you already started to speak humannguage, eh?" Yang Shiughed.

    The crow jumped as it became bigger again. Yang Shi sat on its back. It slowly rose in the air and pped the wind. " HOLY!" Yang Shi screamed as he tightly clutched the furs of Xiao Hei. *BOOOM" The air resonated with a sonic boom as they became a ck blur. The current speed of Xiao Hei was three times faster than its previous speed. Yang Shi felt he was sitting on a missile. This time, he truly felt fear of falling down. With this height and speed. he Yang Shi fell, then not even heaven can save him from death.

    " Haha, With this speed, It will only take 2 days to reach Azure Wind City." Yang Shiughed. He was eager to see the face of Mo Xiang when he would reach there. After another day, Yang Shi could see a gigantic tower from afar. " The Royal tower? It seems we are about to reach Azure Wind City." Yang Shi murmured. He remembered the rules as he asked Xiao Hei tond. There were guards of the royal n. Yang Shi could feel a pellicr qi in them. There are thousands of guards here and all are in the Primordial Spirit realm.

    " These soldiers are trained by the royal n. Their individual strength isn''t bad, but what''s more important is the technique they use. With its help, they can perform military formations. Thousands of soldiers in the Primordial Spirit realm can kill a Violet Pce realm experts." Yang Shi mumbled. But of course, it wasn''t easy as it sounds. Yang Shi only shook his head as he went to the entrance. " Halt! Do you have Authority token? Without it, you can''t use a flying beast after the Northen Royal Tower." The guard wore white armor with an insignia of a bird. It was the symbol of the royal n.

    " No, I don''t possess any Authority token." Yang Shi shook his head. " Then you can''t use your flying beast." The guard seized Xiao Hei. He was astonished inside as he saw Xiao Hei was a Demonic Beast. Nheless, he wasn''t afraid as he has the royal army as his backer. Although Demonic beast was rare, all the major ns and sects have Demonic beasts, so it wasn''t any surprise for the royal guards. They just wondered about the identity of this unknown young man. " Damn, without Authority token, I won''t able to use Xiao Hei as a mount. I would have to take horses here, which would dy me." Yang Shi cursed in his heart.

    But as he was racking his brain, an idea came to his mind. " Oh wait! I have that thing. Hope it would work." Yang Shi thought.

 Chapter 174: No Rest

    Chapter 174: No Rest

    " Can this work as an Authority token?" Yang Shi took out a badge as he passed it to the guard. " What''s this? Brat! You can just pull out any metal scrap and show us." The guard sneered. " Why don''t you check it first?" Yang Shi chuckled. " Heh, What''s so special..." The guard stopped halfway as he looked closely at the badge. It was a bronze badge with a hammer symbol. It had three stars carved under it. On the back of the token was a golden me imprinted with a name- Yang Shi. " This...Golden Fire token for cksmiths? And three stars mean Master grade cksmith?" The guard was shocked.

    " Wait! How is this possible? He might be not even eighteen and a Master cksmith? Could it be this badge is fake?" He thought inwardly. " No, I can''t take risks. I have to show it to the captain." The guard decided as he looked at Yang Shi." Young noble, It''s a weird situation. I need to get confirmation from my captain." The guard said politely. " It''s ok. I can wait." Yang Shi nodded. He wasn''t like those wealthy n young masters, who would act like a dickhead. He understood that offending guards here are the most foolish thing to do.

    " There are four Royal towers in the four directions of Azure Wind City. People believe that it was the symbol of prosperity of Azure Wind City. Heh, but the truth is, these are formation towers." yang Shi looked at the tower. When he looked at those towers, he could find some information about the array formations from the memory of Samsara Emperor. " Four Gate Grand Array. A defensive array to protect the capital of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. It''s connected to the underground spirit veins. And activating it would need a tremendous amount of spiritual qi." Yang Shi mumbled.

    After a few minutes, the guard came out with the Golden Fire token. His gaze was much more friendly than before. " Young Noble is indeed a Master grade cksmith. You can use a flying mount." The guard nodded. " Good, I appreciate your effort." Yang Shi nodded. He passed a few Royal Seal gold coins to the guard. " Hahan, I thank young noble for his grace." The guard''s eyes lit up. It was double the amount than his monthly wage.

    Yang Shi didn''t mind creating a good image with this guard. Who knows, maybe this small favor woulde handly one day? Yang Shi chuckled as he sat on the Xiao Hei''s back. With a p of wing, Xiao Hei darted to the horizon. With the terrifying wind gales, the soldiers closed their eyes. " Heavens, What Demonic beast is that? It''s even faster than Silver Wing Falcons." The guards were shocked. Inside the barracks, the captain of first unit soldiers sat with a thoughtful expression. " So he is Yang Shi." He muttered. After he wrote something on a yellow paper, he chanted something and burned it.

    Yang Shi fell asleep on the back of Xiao Hei. He estimated that he would reach Azure Wind City in one or two days. " Although it''s called Azure Wind City, its size is no less than of a prefect. After all, It got Four major ns, Tworge sects, and the Royal family. Moreover, It got many hidden factions like Hundred Gold Pavilion, Blood Moon Hall, Heaven Protection Guild, etc." Yang Shi thought. " Hehe, It would be fun to meet those geniuses." Yang Shiughed in his mind.

    Another day passed quietly. Yang Shi was resting, but his eyes suddenly opened. " Haha, It seems we are bout to reach Azure Wind City." Yang Shi''s mood became happy. From far, he could see outlines of a gigantic city. It was spanned across the horizon. Yang Shi could see the high walls covering the city. Yang Shi was marveled by what he saw, as with Celestial View, he could see the city from far. " Haha, Azure Wind City, Here Ie." Yang Shi increased the speed of Xiao Hei as he darted forward.

    Heart of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom, Azure Wind City. It was the dream ce of cultivators of Azure Wind Ancient Kingdom. It''s the gathering ce of dragons and tigers. Many young peoples flocks here to join powerful factions. Azure Wind City was divided into three zones. Outer City, Inner City, and Core City. Outer city is wheremoner lives. Inner City is where the ns and sect reside. As for the Core city, it was reserved for the Royal n and The Pce.

    The sun was setting as Yang Shi finally reached the gates of Azure Wind City. " Halt, Entry fees are thirty thousand gold coins." The guard stopped Yang Shi. At that time, Xiao Hei already reverted back to its small form as it sat on the shoulders of Yang Shi. This time, Yang Shi decided not to use his Golden Fire Token as he nodded and paid thirty thousand gold coins.

    The city wasrge, with wide streets. But all he could see are pedestrians and small horse carts. " Ah! Only nobles are allowed to use a mount in the Azure Wind City." Yang Shi recalled the rule. He didn''t mind walking as he strolled around the outer city. As he was about to reach the gates of the inner city, he saw that it was close. " Eh? Why it''s closed?" Yang Shi was surprised. " It seems you are new here." A nearby personughed. " After the sun sets, no one can enter the inner city," he said to Yang Shi. YangShi clicked his tongue as he sighed.

    " It seems I have to wait till tomorrow." YangShi sighed. " Brother, Do you any good inn?" Yang Shi asked that man. " Purple Cloud Inn is the best inn in the outer city. But it''s also the most expensive one. You can go to Three Star Inn. It''s more affordable." The man informed. Yang Shi thanked him as he went to the Purple Cloud Inn. Yang Shi never missed any chance to get good food and wine

    After walking a while, Yang Shi saw a luxurious building. It looked much better than Gold And Jade Inn of Firmament City. Yang Shi entered Purple Cloud Inn as he saw the spacious hall. " I would like to have a room, just for a night." Yang Shi went to the reception. " We have four types of room. Mortal, Noble, Earth, and Sky. Which would you like to choose?" The receptionist asked. " Hmm, Give me an Earth tier room." Yang Shi made the advance payment as he received the room key.

    He ordered the best dishes and wine to his room. He went to take bath before he was going to eat. But when he came back, he saw Jin Yu already finished half of the food. " You little glutton." yang Shi was speechless. He took out a demonic beast corpse and gave it to Xiao Hei. " Hmm, Every single dish costs more than ten thousand gold coins. Nheless, it''s very tasty." Yang Shi thought as he took a mouthful of food. " And this, Purple Pine Wine. It''s indeed a good wine, same as Hundred Flower Wine." Yang Shi praised.

    " Ahh, finally I am going to sleep on afy bed." Yang Shi stretched out his arms as he fell on the bed. But only after a few breaths of time, he opened his eyes and frown. He felt someone was at his door. He got up and opened his door, only to find a letter on his doorsteps. Yang Shi became surprised as he saw a Blood Moon mark over the letter.

 Chapter 175: Things got Messed

    Chapter 175: Things got Messed

    " What the hell! I can''t even rest for a night?" yang Shi cursed in his heart. But, He was more surprised about how did Old Ghost found him. " Sigh, The life of an assassin is unsettled. I just arrived in Azure Wind City, and Old Ghost already gave me amission." Yang Shi smiled bitterly. " Let''s see what is this about." Yang Shi began to read the letter.

    <em>" I know you just arrived here. But this mission came suddenly, and now I am giving it to you. There is an assassination mission in the northern block of Outer city. We have already dispatched several Blood Moon assassins to kill the target. Your duty is to remain in dark and help them if something unexpected happens."</em>

    The letter was rather short, with the image of a person and a map. Yang Shi sighed as he began to think. " Although this mission seems to be simple, just mention of something unexpected is already fishy." He chuckled. Moreover, that old geezer didn''t mention any rewards for this. But Yang Shi didn''t n to refuse this mission. " Hehe, At least Old Ghost can owe me a small favor." Yang Shi smiled. " Or, I can grab a spirit stone from him."

    Yang Shi changed his clothes to a pitch-ck robe, which fitted him. He took out his longsword and sheathed it on his waist. He hid his two Crimson Dusk daggers behind his back. Yang Shi finally put the bronze demon mask over his face. " Xiao Hei, stay here. I will be back before morning." Yang Shi patted on its back as he jumped out of the window. Soon, he activated his Starlight Burst and merged in darkness.

    Yang Shi walked ording to the map. Soon a reached the northern block. It was sam as a housing colony of earth, with ancient style. There were rows and rows of buildings with many alleys. A newbie can easily lose their way here. But Yang Shi had the map and Celestial view, so he reached there quickly.

    " Hmm, I am half an hour earlier than the given time. I should hide nearby." Yang Shi thought as he climbed on a rooftop. From there, he could see every ce clearly with his Celestial View. Yang Shi turned a little and crouched there. With that, most people wouldn''t feel his presence.

    Yang Shi sat there, scanning his surroundings. He sat there patiently, like an old statue. If one isn''t mindful, they couldn''t able to see Yang Shi''s sparkling purple eyes. With a mixture of azure and crimson, they looked mysterious. Yang Shi sat there vigntly, but suddenly, his ears perked. " Eh? There is arge movement!" Yang Shi''s eyes zoomed in as he looked in the direction. He could see a bunch of people chasing someone.

    " Fuck, It''s the third time. Capture that bitch alive. Our boss wants to let her taster fate worse than death." A burly man shouted. " Red Mountain Chop!" Another person roared as he shed out his sword. The person in front of them wore tight ck clothes. Yang Shi could tell that person''s body is very flexible. She easily dodged the attacks of her pursuers. " Is she also one of Blood Moon assassins?" Yang Shi became confused as he looked at her. From her body, Yang Shi could tell that its a girl. Old Ghost didn''t give any details of assassins on this mission.

    " Fragrant Plume Burst!" The girl snickered as a pale light gathered in her palms. She suddenly turned around and threw the ball of light.

    " Zi Zi Zi Zi "

    With sharp noise, the ball burst, and many lights darted out from it. " Watch out of those needles!" A burly man shouted. Those lights were actually needles, empowered with spiritual qi. " Hmph! Whirling sh!" Another man shouted as he swung his sword. The shes became like a silver curtain as they deflected the needles. Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as he estimated the strength of those pursues.

    " There are nine of them and each of them is at the Eighth stage of Primordial Spirit realm. Moreover, they are wielding middle tier Spirit grade weapons." Yang Shi thought. If there were two or three Eight grade cultivators, Yang Shi could have killed them without much effort. But nine of them?

    Yang Shi shook his head. " Only if I reach the Seventh stage, I can kill them all." Yang Shi muttered. The girl''s movement was strange. She was able to dodge the attacks of her pursuer with ease. Her body moved like a willow branch, it was unpredictable

    " Don''t worry. Our brothers are approaching from another side." The burly man shouted. " Thorny Vine Net!" The girl shouted. This time, Yang Shi could see a faint image of a tree behind the girl. " A tree type primordial spirit?" Yang Shi was surprised. Suddenly, the ground cracked as many green vines crawled out from it.

    It wasced with curvy and sharp thorns. They covered the ground, making the pursuers slow down. " Damn! Cut these vines." They cursed they began to chop the vines. With those strange thorns, they also got injured quite a bit. The girl was at the Seventh stage, but with her Primordial Spirit and movement technique, she was able to surpass her enemies.

    " Hmm, maybe I should help her. She might be the one who is distracting a part of enemy forces?" Yang Shi mumbled. After all, how can such experts appear in this northern block? She must be a helper of the Blood Moon Hall. Yang Shi suddenly saw the girl used the moment of distraction and sped up. " Damn it! We lost her!" Someone shouted.

    When they finally managed to chop all the vines, the girl already vanished. But Yang Shi''s face turned serious as he could see the movement of that girl. There was another group of people rushing from the opposite direction. " There were only two people? It seems they are scouts." Yang Shi finally moved as he jumped from the roof.

    " Haah! My spiritual qi is almost depleted. Damn those Green snake gang bastards!" The girl huffed as she hid in a corner. " Cough!" The girl coughed as blood tricked down from her mouth. " Ugh, It seems I got injured by them." She sighed. " Search! Look in all directions!" Someone shouted. She was startled as she saw her enemies areing from both directions. " It seems they had blocked all escape routes. Fuck, They dare to trap me." She gritted her teeth as a short sword appeared in her palms. She was ready to go out and fight with them, but suddenly. " There! Someone is there!" A person shouted as he pointed in a direction.

    " BOOM* A fireball came and hit that person. "Arrgh!" That person shouted as he was engulfed in fire. " Hurry1 And catch her!" The burly man and others shouted as they rushed in that direction. Other few came to help the burning man, but he was already turned into human-shaped charcoal till they arrived. " Huh?!" The girl was shocked to see the turn of events, but suddenly, someone grabbed her shoulders and dashed away. " Wh-What? Who are you?!!" The girl screamed in a low voice as she struggled to break free. " Shut up! Don''t you see I am trying to save you?" That unknown person barked.

    The girl was dazed as they traveled at high speed. " Whew." The person sighed as they reached a dark alleyway. " Damn! Are you a newbie? Even Bronze Moon assassins are better than you!" The mysterious person was none other than Yang Shi, who wore a bronze demon mask. The girl was speechless as she heard Yang Shi scolding her. " Don''t you know that an assassin needs to prepare an escape route first before anything? And where the hell was your caution? People wereing from the opposite direction and you still chose to run there?"

    Yang Shi shook his head. This girl is clearly a noob. " B-But who tole you I am an assassin?" The girl lowered her guard as she saw Yang Shi wasn''t going to harm her. " Wait, What?! You are not from Blood Moon Hall?!" Yang Shi was startled. " No." The girl shook her head.

    " Fuck." Yang Shi''s mind uttered these words as a loud bang was heard from nearby.

 Chapter 176: Battle Between Assassins

    Chapter 176: Battle Between Assassins

    Yang Shi was startled to hear loud noise nearby. " If this girl and those guys weren''t my targets, does that mean..." Yang Shi suddenly let go of that girl and activated his Celestial View. There was another fight happening from afar. " Damn, I need to rush there." Yang Shi thought, but suddenly, he stopped as he surveyed the area. " Hmm, From their attire, I can sense they are Blood Moon Hall''s assassins. Hm, Ah there! I can see the target''s face." Yang Shi eximed. The face of that person was the same as the picture in Old Ghost''s letter.

    " Hmm, There are five assassins. Excluding the guards, they can easily kill their target. Hmm? No, wait!" Yang Shi was startled as he spotted several ck shadows around the fighting ce. " There are others who want to fish in troubled waters?" Yang Shi''s face turned serious. " Wait, Those masks...Traceless Ghost Pavilion?!" Yang Shi looked closely as he eximed. " Interesting, There is two Eighth stage, and three Seventh stage Traceless Ghost Pavilion''s assassins are lurking." Yang Shi took out his Crimson Dusk daggers and held them quietly. " Hey...What are you doing here?" A voice startled Yang Shi as he hastily swung back his dagger.

    *CLANG*

    Metal shed as Yang Shi''s dagger was blocked. He was relieved to see that it was that girl. " You!! Why the hell you attacking me?" The girl asked angrily. Her palm was a little sore from the impact. " You are lucky enough to survive. Otherwise, Due to my assassin''s instinct, you would be dead by now." Yang Sho scowled. Due to being an assassin for so long, Yang Shi''s reflexes are lightning fast. So after getting startled, he swung his dagger to injure the enemy. " Hmph! Can''t you say sorry nicely?" The girl pouted.

    " But, why are you still here?" Yang Shi asked her in surprise. " My work isn''t done here. I still need to do onest thing." The girl shook her head. She was covering her face with a ck veil, But Yang Shi could see her beautiful eyes. " Leave this ce. Things are going to be bloody here." Yang Shi''s tone became serious.

    " I really can''t leave." The girl chuckled bitterly. Yang Shi''s mood became pensive as he looked at the Blood Moon Hall''s assassins. " There are no Eighth stage cultivators among them, while there are two Eighth stage Traceless Ghost Pavilion''s assassins. If things go like this, The Traceless Ghost Pavilion can easily defeat Blood Moon Hall.

    " Oh, wait! Why don''t we make water even muddier?" A thought came to Yang Shi''s mind as he smirked. " Hey, I can help you to deal with your pursuers. Can you help me?" Yang Shi suddenly asked that girl. " Huh, Are you sure?" The girl''s eyes glinted. " Hmm, Even if I can''t kill them all, I can buy enough time for you to finish your business." Yang Shi added. " Fine, What I need to do?" The girl thought as she asked. " All you need to do...."

    ......................................

    " Hey, Bronze Bull, the target is right in front of us." A Blood Moon Hall''s assassin said. " Yes, I can see his face. Inform our brothers to be prepared." Bronze Bull said. " Affirmative." Everyone nodded. Two carriages wereing in front of them. One of them suddenly threw many daggers at the carriage.

    The daggers shot out like bullets as they hit the carriage wheels.

    *BOOM BOOM*

    With a loud noise, the wheels burst apart as the horses tripped. " Ambush! Ambush! Prepare for the battle!" The guards came out of the carriage as they circled around the carriage to protect the passenger. " Attack and kill Wei Cang!" Bronze Bull shouted. " Red Viper and Wind Gale are striking!" A person shouted as two assassins dashed at the carriage. " Kill those bastards!" The guards shouted and drew out their weapons.

    " Royal Spear Thrust!"

    " Ghastly Sword sh!"

    Both partiesunched their deadly moves as they engaged in battle. Red Viper and Wind Gale are professional assassins. With their slick movement techniques, they were able to confront seven guards. " Fluttering Leaf, Go with Breeze Saber. With those distracted guards, you will able to kill Wei Cang." Bronze Bull said. Fluttering Leaf nodded as he and Breeze Saber rushed out to kill Wei Cang.

    As they were about to reach the carriage, three shadows jumped out from the shadows. Fluttering Leaf and Breeze Saber got startled. " Haha, Fluttering Leaf, you are going to die today!" The neer snorted as he looked at Fluttering Leaf.

    " You are Night Demon! Bastard, You dare to appear before me?" FlutteringLeaft snorted as he pulled out his sword. As they are all from the same trade, they knew each other''s names.

    " Hmph! Today, We will kill all of you and abduct Wei Cang." Night Demon snorted. " Leaf Flutters Midair!" Fluttering Leaf shouted as he drew out his sword. " Shattering Saber sh!" Breeze Saber also drew out his short saber and helped Fluttering Leaf.

    " Dark Ghost w!" The Night Demon made a jabbing movement with his arm, and ck qi swirled around it and made a shape of a w. His two helper also made their moves. The five of them shed. The Night Demon and his friends were in advantage, but then, suddenly, a Brzong colored fist appeared and smashed one of the Traceless Ghost Pavilion''s assassins.

    " Bronze Bull!" Night Demon shouted as he jumped backward. " Night Demon, Not even heaven can save you today!" Bronze Bull shouted as his fist glowed with a bronze colored light." Furious Bull Fist" Bronze Bull threw a punch at Night Demon.

    " Ghost w Conversion!" Night Demon''s ghost w became more corporeal as he countered Bronze Bull''s fist.

    " Bronze Bull, You really think I came here unprepared?" Night Demon sneered. Another two assassins of Traceless Ghost Pavilion appeared.

    " Damn! Red Viper and Wind Gale are entangled with those guards. Fall of Hundred Leaves!" Fluttering Leaf shouted as his sword became extremely fast.

    " Aura Burst Technique! Rampaging Saber Storm!"

    Breeze Saber shouted as aura burst forth from his body. He used a secret technique to increase his power. With this, they were able to overwhelm the team members of Night Demon.

    An assassin might able to kill a Ninth stage cultivator with his sneak attack while being a Seventh stage cultivator. But in overall power, they might be weaker than strong Seventh stage cultivators in the face-to-face fight. Battle power and able to sneak attacks are different things. That why assassins usually retreat when their first attack fails.

    " We need to finish the fight here quickly. I feel something is amiss here." Bronze Bull shouted. " Haha, Bronze Bull, you are toote." Night Demon snickered.

    " Evil Demon Cry!" Night Demon chanted an incantation as he took out a ck orb. A terrible scream came from it. Fluttering Leaf and Breeze Saber coughed out blood as they retreated a few steps. They felt their eardrums were about to burst.

    Bronze Bull roared as a glove appeared on his hands.

    " Golden Bull Punch!"

    A miniature golden colored bull appeared over his fist as he knocked off the ck orb from Night Demon''s hand.

    " Hahaha! You haven''t sen out true trump card!" Night Demonughed.

    " Brother Specter, Come out and kill these bugs." Night Demon shouted.

    But strangely, nothing happened.

 Chapter 177: A Tricky Opponent

    Chapter 177: A Tricky Opponent

    There was a lone figure who stood over a stone pir. He nced at the fight between Blood Moon Hall and Traceless Ghost Pavilion. " Bronze Bull''s Demon Bull Fist technique is impressive. He might reach the Eighth stage by next year. Hehe, but only if he walks out alive from here." That man cackled. " Our primary target is still Wei Cang. We have to abduct him and get that information from him." The man muttered.

    Suddenly, he saw Night Demon using his Evil Demon Cry. " Hah, That pathetic bastard. He used his signature move so early!" The man sneered. " Anyway, I should go now." The man was preparing to go, but suddenly, his expression changed. He pulled out his sword as he made a reverse sh. A golden light tore through the darkness as it shot at him. But his reverse sword sh deflected it. " Haha, To think you can find me." The man chuckled. His eyes shone with a sinister light.

    " Why don''t youe and y with me, then?" A young voiceughed. " Haha, Such promising young men are quite rare in this field. Unfortunately, You picked the wrong target." The manughed. " HAHAHA, How can you kill me when you can''t even catch me?" The voice drifted away as another golden light shot at the man. " It''s been a while since someone provoked me, Violet Specter. Very good. Let''s see how far you can run." Violet Specterughed as his body became a violet streak of light.

    The young man was none other than Yang Shi. He used his sword condensed from metal qi to lure away Violet Specter.

    " Bamboo Leaf Storm." The Violet Specter waved his hands as green lights darted out from it. Yang Shi turned back as Crimson Dusk daggers appeared in his hands. " CLANG CLANG CLANG* With loud noises, he deflected more than a dozen of projectiles. " What the hell are those?" Yang Shi was a bit surprised at the projectile''s speed. After he deflected them, he saw those were just like bamboo leaves, albeit made of metal.

    Those were thin and sharp flying daggers. They were used in bulk, as their speed is faster than average daggers. The attacks were very hard to dodge, and people can get injured heavily. If yang Shi''s Crimson Dusk wasn''t faster, he would have gotten injured. Nheless, That moment of distraction was enough for Violet Specter to close the distance between them.

    *BOOM* A punch flew at Yang Shi. Yang Shi was startled as he activated his Gold Devil Seal. Golden light squirmed through his skin as he used his hands to block it. Yang Shi blew back a few feet due to impact. " Let''s see how you will dodge this." A weapon appeared in Violet Specter''s hands. It was a chakra, with three wing-like des. His hands shed as he shed at Yang Shi. Yang Shi used his Starlight Burst to dodge immediately.

    Surprisingly, Violet Specter''s speed wasn''t slower. His hands moved like a shadow as their speed became faster. Yang Shi was amazed as he finally found a person who can match his speed. " Chains of Despair!" Violet Specter shouted. His des of chakra suddenly shot out. They were bound to the main chakra by a thick ck chain. Yang Shi became astonished as it was impossible to dodge.

    " Gold Devil Armor." Yang Shi shouted. After forming the embryonic Gold Devil Body, Yang Shi could use metal qi to create ayer of protection around his body. It was the same as wearing metal armor. This was the first ability Gold Devil Seal grants the user.

    He tried to deflect them, he got hit by one of them. "CLANK* His body produced a metallic sound as the de got deflected. But he could feel a small cut on his skin. Soon, it became slightly blue.

    " Ah, Poison." Yang Shi chuckled. He could suppress it with his mixture of fire qi and metal qi. " This is nothing more than an appetizer." Violet Specterughed. The chains suddenly retracted as Violet Specter attacked again. " Spirit Catching Palm" The air around his arm rippled as it was enveloped by some strange energy. Yang Shi also sneered as he tightly held his daggers.

    " Phantom Cut!" His daggers collided with his arms. Strangely, there was no blood. Yang Shi''s dagger became faster and faster, Violet Specter only sneered. He clenched his fist as he punched Yang Shi. Yang Shi felt an impact on his chest, but he also clenched his left fist and stabbed the stomach of Violet Specter. But it only went an inch as Yang Shi got pushed back. A trickle of blood fell. " You dare to injure me? Hands of Hundred Tricks." Violet Specter roared.

    Yang Shi''s hair stood on its end as Violet Specter suddenly disappeared from his position. He was vignt with his Celestial view. Suddenly, Yang Shi jumped as three needles struck the ground. " Huh?" He was about to move again, but suddenly, a short dagger pierced his thigh. " Goddamn, How fast he is?" yang Shi cursed. Even with his Celestial View, he could only see a violet blur. He could feel his reaction was turning slow. " Damn, is it because of poison?" Yang Shi cursed. But in the thought of poison, he smiled mysteriously. After all, he poured poison over those two daggers, when they were being forged.

    " 3,2,1- Now!" Yang Shi shouted as he thrust his dagger to his left side. " Arckk!" Violet Specter was changing his positions, but suddenly, he felt his thighs went limp. Because of that, he had to slow down and got hit by Yang Shi. " Haha, Do you think only you can use poison?" Yang Shi chuckled. " Damn it!" Violet Specter was stunned but he saw Yang Shi''s figure became hazy. " Phantom Cut!" Yang Shi shouted. The daggers in their hands became illusory as they shed in multiple arcs.

    Yang Shi aimed at his waist and finally, made a deep cut. " Haha, My poison would slowly paralyze you. Just a bit and you would be good as dead." Yang Shiughed coldly. " Hmph, Don''t think you are any better." Violet Specter sneered. But in his mind, he was already calcting. " No, I must escape from here. As for Night Demon, I think he can handle them. Once I shake off this brat, I will return." Violet Specter mumbled. Suddenly, he waved his hands as countless needles, short daggers shot out.

    " Damn, just how many hidden weapons he has?" Yang Shi was vexed, and he could only dodge them. Surprisingly, all of them were Spirit-grade weapons, so Yang Shi didn''t want to be screwed by them. Although he had Gold Devil Armor for protection, it couldn''t simply handle a hundred of these things. " I will forge a light Spirit grade armor after I return. But first, I will fucking kill this bastard." Yang Shi grumbled in his heart. He was already at a slight disadvantage due to the movement technique of Violet Specter.

    " Heh, It seems your luck is good today. I am letting you live for a few more days." Violet Specterughed as he turned around and escaped. Yang Shi never thought that he would suddenly escape.

    " Old coot, you think you can escape after we fought for so long? Leave behind your life!"

 Chapter 178: Sudden Enlightenment

    Chapter 178: Sudden Enlightenment

    " Damn it, where that bitch had gone?" The burly man shouted. He was annoyed to the point to pull out his hair. " Haha, Old Bastard,e here and get the recording talisman if you dare!" A girlughed in distance. " There!" the burly man shouted. Since their group was scattered, it was only he and two other guys there. Only the burly man was at the Eighth stage. The girlughed as she dashed off. " Catch her." the burly man shouted.

    They were surprised to see that girl and decided to chase her. But she was faster than them. While they chased her, they could feel something was amiss. And then, suddenly, they saw an attack came at them. " Dodge!" Someone shouted. They easily dodged that, but unfortunately, the girl already vanished from there.

    " Wait! There seems to be a fight over there!" The subordinate of the burly man frowned. " There! It seems they are also suspects!" A dozen of guards came shouting. They wore the same armors as the guards of Wei Cang. " Protect Master Wei! Kill whoeveres in the way!" the guards shouted. They circled a middle-aged man, who was in his thirties. He was Wei Cang, who was wanted by Blood Moon Hall and Traceless Ghost Pavilion.

    " No- Wait!" The burly man shouted to stop, but the guards of Wei Cang attacked them before they could exin. " Damn! They will really kill us! Defend yourself!" They were overwhelmed by the guards as they had the in numbers. The people from the Green Snake gang had a hard time defending themselves. " No wonder! He really trapped them here!" the girl chuckled as she hid nearby.

    " Hmph, you bastards! Let''s see how you go back alive! That girl snorted as he palm glowed with a green halo, then she mmed them to the ground. The ground cracked as green vines crawled out from it. The vines grabbed the feet of the Green Snak Gang members, making them immobile. " Damn it!" They cursed as they were unable to dodge the attacks from the Guards. After a while, the guards finally killed them all. After all, they were guards trained by the Royal n.

    Actually, Red Viper and Wind Gale were only responsible for diverting the guards while Fluttering Leaf was supposed to kill Wei Cang. But they noticed that Fluttering Leaf didn''t give the signal of sessful assassination, so they chose to retreat. The guards also let them go as their priority was to protect Wei Cang.

    " Damn it! Where the fuck is Violet Specter!" Night Demon cursed loudly as he pushed back Bronze Bull. He was flustered after Violet Specter didn''te to help him. " Could it be that someone was fighting with him? If that''s the case, I must escape!" Night Demon thought inwardly. Unfortunately, Bronze Bull didn''t intend to let Night Demon leave.

    ......................................

    " Hahaha, Forget to catch me." Violet Specter sneered as he continued to run. " Damn! Do you think you can outrun me?" Yang Shiughed coldly as he threw a shot dagger of meta qi. But he was getting anxious inside. " If things go like this, I might really lose him. Only if my Starlight Burst was at Initialpletion stage." Yang Shi sighed in frustration, but then, his eyes sparkled.

    " Starlight Burst! It''s more like a burst of light, making extremely fast short range movement. But the word " Starlight" is also the same as the light from stars, whiches from extremely far ces. Speed of light is unrivaled. Fast, Just like Starlight!" Yang Shi''s eyes shone with brightness as he was enlightened. Suddenly, he felt his body became light, like a feather. He grabbed his Crimson Dusk dagger and revolved Spiritual qi to its limit.

    *ZAPPP* Yang Shi felt his surrounding became hazy. With a swift sound, he shot off wildly. Leaving behind a trail of misty, white light. " DIEEEE!" Yang Shi roared as his body blinked. Violet Specter''s eyes became wide as he saw Yang Shi closing him at a great speed. He couldn''t understand how Yang Shi''s speed suddenly increased.

    " PHANTOM CUT." Yang Shi shouted as his daggers shed in a crimson arc. Before Violet Specter could dodge, he saw his body decapitated into multiple pieces. Blood Sttered on the ground as his body fell. " Hahaha! I did it-" Yang Shi was rejoicing, but suddenly, his face turned ck. " I- I can''t stop! Damn!!!!" Yang Shi was unable to control his body and mmed into the nearby wall.

    *BAM* The wall trembled as Yang Shi stered on it like a gecko. As he was wearing a metal mask, he felt its edges cut his cheeks. " Damn!" He sighed as he stood on. Yang Shi turned back and saw the corpse of Violet Specter. He went there with a cold face, took out the storage pouch and a token from his robe. On the token, there was a face of a demon engraved, which had three horns. That was a token of assassins from Traceless Ghost Pavilion. It was the same as the Blood Moon Hall token.

    " I am keeping this. This the trophy of killing Violet Specter." yang Shi chuckled. Then he jumped off a roof and started to survey the area. " Aha! It seems Wei Cang really escaped from them." Yang Shi chuckled. " But from me..." Yang Shiughed evilly as he silently closed their distance.

    " Hahhh! Mr. Wei, It seems we are safe. Our reinforcement woulde soon." The guard said to Wei Cang. " damn it! How the hell they knew I wasing to the outer city? Those bastards! Just wait till I report it to father. He knew all of them, who wants to send assassins for me." Wei Cang coldly said. His cultivation was only in the Fifth stage, so he never dared to go without his guards.

    " Hmm, It seems your guard''s senses are a bit dull, Mr. Wei. They just said you are safe out of mid-air." A voice chuckled. The guard''s and Wei Cang''s hair stood on its end as they looked around. " Well, I guess, I should give you a swift death." The voice ended, and an arrow fired at them from nowhere.

    " Protect Mr. Wei!" the guards shouted as they pushed Wei Cang. The arrow hit the thigh of a soldier, but it was only a shallow wound.

    As they were looking for the attacker, Wei Cang cried in agony. " ARRRGH!" he fell down to his knees as there was a dagger in his chest. Itpletely went through his chest as one could see the dagger tip on his back.

    " NOO!''''

    The guards shouted as they help Wei Cang. The dagger buzzed as it miraculously flew back to the hand of a young man.

    His ck robe was fluttering, which looked like a shadow blended in darkness. On his bright, Bronze demon mask, one can easily see bloodstains.

    " Y-You bastard!!" the guards roared in anger. They couldn''t believe that Wei Cang died while they were protecting him.

    " Get that bastard! Else, Lord Wei will skin us alive." A guard said with a trembling voice. The guards came back to sense as they red at Yang Shi.

    They didn''t waste any time as they charged at Yang Shi. But Yang Shi onlyughed as his figure became distorted.

    " Remember! My name is- Evil Shadow!"

    Yang Shi''s voice boomed as he vanished from the guard''s eyesight. They could only see a faint, white trail of light.

    ...............................................

    " Damn! To think I will lose today!" Night Demon sighed in his heart. He was escaping from Bronze Bull. He sacrificed two of his subordinates to buy time. " Bronze Bull and Fluttering Leaf! Just wait!" He roared. Night Demon never thought that his n would fail in such a miserable way.

    As he was running, a white light came in front of him. It was like a crescent mooning at him. Before Night Demon could understand anything, he saw his body got separated from hs waist.

    " Wh-Wha..." Before he could say anything, his vision cked out.

    " Huh?!!!" Bronze Bull suddenly stopped after he saw what happened. Sweat trickled from his head as he saw someone standing in front of Night Demon''s corpse.

    That person slowly sheathed his long sword as he gazed at Bronze Bull. Bronze Bull could only see the face of a bronze demon mask as that figure vanished.

    " Heh, a head-on Moonlight sh might only injure Night Demon, but a sneak attack can kill him." That figure was no other than Yang Shi. He gazed to the distance. " I hope that girl finished her business." He muttered as he used his Starlight Burst.

    Just after he left, the entire north block burst with uproar. Due to such bigmotions, City guards finally arrived. What''s more, everyone got shocked after hearing about the death of Wei Cang!

    " Evil Shadow!"

    They remembered the name of this unknown, new assassin.

 Chapter 179: I Killed a Big Shot?

    Chapter 179: I Killed a Big Shot?

    Yang Shi knew that the mysterious girl already finished her things, so he didn''t care about her. Unknown to the storm he had caused, Yang Shi rushed back to the inn.

    " Caww! Master!" Xiao Hei pped its wings as he greeted Yang Shi." Haha." Yang Shi smiled warmly as he patted that ck crow, " Miss Jin, Get up!" Yang Shi shouted loudly as he saw a ten year old girl sleeping on his bed.

    " Hmph! Does it kill you to not shout in midnight? I was sleeping." Jin Yu grumbled as she rubbed her eyes. " Meh, now get up ande back to the golden egg. I am damn sleepy now." Yang Shi snorted. " Fine." Jin Yu became a stream of light as she entered into the dantian of Yang Shi.

    " Damn! That fight with Violet Specter really cost me a lot." Yang Shi mumbled. He took off his robe and fell on the bed. He was very tired after the life and death battle with Violet Specter.

    " If I had used my longsword, Things might have got tricky." Yang Shi smiled. The reason he chose to use his daggers is to fight with Violet Specter in closebat. His Sword art of Ster Night is still weaker than the techniques of Violet Specter. Moreover, he wanted to hone his dagger skills.

    " Haha, With my dagger skill, Little Li''s Flying dagger is nothing." Yang Shi chuckled. (Little Li''s Flying Dagger is a fictional, top grade dagger skill in wuxia novels)

    He got up with great difficulty and took a shower. He didn''t want to reek of blood. Then he jumped on his bed. " Ugh, The poison in Violet Specter''s weapons are troublesome." Yang Shi frowned. He used his Spirit Fire and Internal Energy to destroy it. But, there is still some residue left in his body.

    " Ugh, It seems I have to visit Golden Fire Tower''s alchemy section tomorrow." Yang Shi muttered. After all, it''s only a matter of a few hours till the sun rises. Yang Shi fell asleep.

    The sun rose as Yang Shi''s eye opened. He got up and stretched his arms. " Ahhh! Refreshing." Yang Shi smiled. Suddenly, he heard knocking on the door. Yang Shi wore a new robe as he went out. But of course, he didn''t forget to have breakfast in the Rainbow Inn.

    He left the inn as he went to the Inner City gate. He saw a long line in front of the Inner Gate. " Whoa, that''s quite a lot of people." Yang Shi became surprised. But it more surprising as the city gate wasn''t opened.

    " Brother, When the gate is going to open?" Yang Shi asked a passerby. " Eh? I am also surprised. The gate should have opened by now." That person said.

    " It seems you haven''t heard what happened yesterday." A middle-aged man came. His name was Gen Hui.

    " Last night, lots of things happened in Northen block. You know, Assassins killed Wei Cang." Gen Hui chuckled.

    " Huh? Someone killed Wei Cang?" The passerby shouted. The people around them also became astonished.

    " Yeah, Last night, a bunch of Blood Moon Hall assassins went to kill Wei Cang. But, You know, They met assassins for Traceless Ghost Pavilion.

    There was a fight between them. Apparently, Bronze Bull, Fluttering Leaf, and Night Demon fought with each other." Gen Hui narrated.

    " What? Then who killed Wei Cang?" The passerby asked hastily.

    " You won''t believe, But none of them killed Wei Cang." Gen Hui chuckled. " Then who?" Everyone asked.

    " Wei Cang is actually killed by a newbie assassin." Gen Hui said mysteriously.

    " WHAT!!" Everyone got shocked. " Yes, I am speaking the truth. The assassin''s name was Evil Shadow. And He killed both Violet Specter and Night Demon." Gen Hui nodded.

    Yang Shi listened to Gen Hui as he smiled wryly. He never thought things would spread this fast. He was actually surprised by the poprity of Wei Cang.

    " Brother, I came to Azure Wind City for the first time. Can you tell me who is Wei Cang?" Yang Shia asked curiously.

    " Ah, so you are a neer? That exins. Wei Cang is the son of Wei Shu, who is the brother of Finance Minister Wei." A bystander exined. Yang Shi''s felt a cold air around him as he became shocked.

    Hearing he killed the nephew of Finance Minister of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom, Yang Shi urged to facepalm himself. " Goddamn! I really getting into deeper shit with politics." Yang Shi cursed in his heart. He just hoped he doesn''t get on must kill list of the Royal n.

    " Don''t worry. The Inner City gate will be open soon." Gen Hui chuckled. As he just said, the city gate rumbled as it slowly opened. People slowly went toward it, including Yang Shi.

    " The hell! Thirty Thousand Coins to go to Inner City?!" Yang Shi grumbled. What even more, The guards gave him a parchment. Because Yang Shi didn''t have any permanent Inner City token, he has to return from Inner City after three days. It same as using a visa on earth.

    " Why the rules are so strict?" Yang Shi wondered. But he wasn''t worried. Getting a permanent token of Inner City might be a tedious task for other people. But for Yang Shi, It''s hardly any trouble.

    The Inner City looked much better than the outer city. Both the quality and quantity of the buildings are far more than of the outer city. Yang Shi walked with a curious mind.

    There were many shops across the street, selling all types of things. From medicinal pills to weapons, strange items, and cultivation techniques, everything was being sold here. Of course, six out of ten of the stuff here are either fake or poor quality.

    " Hmm, what should I do today?" Yang Shi had multiple things in his mind. " Hmm, should I go to the Mo n? Or visit Feng Xiao or Demonic Sound Pce?" Yang Shi thought.

    " There is also Old Ghost. Heh, I really want to beat that old bastard." Yang Shi mumbled. " Ahh, Let Bai Ruxue wait for some more time. I will buy a gift for her." Yang Shi decided. He went toward the Golden Fire Tower''s alchemy section.

    Soon, he reached next to a giant gate. One could see arge board, saying - Golden Fire Alchemy Hall. On the gate, there is a big letter- Longevity.

    " My my, It looked even grander than Golden Fire Tower of Firmament City." Yang Shi smacked his lips as he went inside. Yang Shi could feel the Alchemy Hall was much vibrant. He could smell the rich scent of medicinal pills.

    He went to the counter and saw a cheerfuldy sitting there.

    " Wee, How can I help you?" The girl smiled.

    " Do you have any detoxification pill?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Sir, If you are affected by some poison, I advise you to consult with our physician." The girl thought and said. Yang Shi nodded as he understood what that girl is saying.

    Some poisons are very strange and difficult to cure. Normale detoxification pills are useless in front of them. So, one should ask a professional alchemist to get the corresponding pills.

    " Thank you, But I don''t need it. Get me a pill with Twisted Red Root as the main ingredient." Yang Shi calmly said.

    " Sir..." The girl hesitated as she became astonished. She doesn''t have much knowledge about pills and their ingredients.

    " Hmm, Just give me a Scarlet Fire Detoxifying Pill." Yang Shi rubbed his chin. " Ah! We have that." The girl nodded as she took out a pill bottle.

    " Fifty thousand gold coins for three pills." She said. " Fifty thousand?!" Yang Shi blurted. It was almost two times expensive than its manufacturing price.

    " What the hell! Fifty thousand gold coins are enough to buy a Quasi Spirit grade weapon." Yang Shi grumbled. " If things go like this, I might better be an alchemist."

    " Esteemed guest! Our prices are extremely fair. We are also giving you pills with mid tier quality." The girl smile.

    Just like weapons, Pills are also graded. There are nine ranks of pills. Rank one is the lowest and rank nine is the highest grade of the pill. As for quality, one can check the pill rings. While concocting a pill, ring like marks appear over it. A pill with one ring is the worst quality of pill. Its medicinal efficiency is like 15%.

    Pill with nine rings is the best quality pill, with an efficiency of over 85%. For ease, every three rings are defined as a grade. Low-grade pills have one to three rings. Mid-grade pills have three to six rings and high-grade pills have six to nine pill rings.

    Scarlet Fire Detoxcifying pill is a rank two pill. The Alchemy hall is selling mid grade Scarlet Fire Detoxcifying Pill.

    " Fine give me a bottle. Oh, also, Do you have any Beast Feeding Pill?" Yang Shi nodded and asked.

    " Beast Feeding Pill? Which rank Beast Feeding Pills you want?" That girl asked. " Rank two." Yang Shi answered. " Here sir! Twenty pills for 40,000 gold coins." The girl gave two bottles to Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi nodded as he paid ny thousand gold coins to that girl.

    Beast Feeding Pill, as its name implies, Its the food of Beasts. Its widely used by cultivators, who have beast mounts. Yang Shi brought it for Xiao Hei, who was sitting on his shoulder.

    " Hmm, Let''s see the interior of Alchemy Hall."

    The girl became surprised as he saw Yang Shi went to the main building instead of walking out.

 Chapter 180: Commotion in Alchemy Hall

    Chapter 180: Commotion in Alchemy Hall

    Yang Shi casually entered the main hall. Suddenly, three people came running.

    " Halt! Do you have permission to enter the main hall?" The guards asked. They didn''t wear armors like royal guards, but white linen robes. There was a three-leg cauldron image on their back.

    " Huh? Do I need permission?" Yang Shi showed them his master grade badge.

    " Master grade cksmith?!" The guards became startled. They could hardly believe that Yang Shi became a master grade cksmith at such young age.

    " This is indeed an authentic token. You can enter." The guards nodded. They moved aside, making way for Yang Shi.

    The girl at the medicine counter became astonished as she saw the respectful face of those guards. For ordinary peoples, they buy all their things from the pill counter outside. The pill counter only sells pills of rank three and lower. Moreover, it doesn''t sell medicinal herbs.

    Only distinguished people can enter the main hall. Most of them are either alchemists or cksmiths. The main hall was more like a stadium, with lots of people inside. Yang Shi strolled inside as he saw many white robed cultivators. They all have a cauldron insignia on their back. There are also some red robe cultivators. One can easily tell that white robe cultivators are alchemists and red robed cultivators are

    But there are more alchemists here than cksmiths. Yang Shi wasn''t surprised as there were reasons for this. The main reason was, the fire vein in Golden Fire Tower in Firmament City is very fierce and its metal attribute very high. It''s unusable for alchemy and growing herbs.

    Here, Golden Fire Alchemy Hall has a fire vein, with spirit wood attributes. So, it''s very good for growing herbs and using them as alchemy fire.

    Yang Shi was casually strolling there as he has nothing much to do. He went to the mission hall and registered his name there. The person in the mission hall was surprised to see how young Yang Shi was. He couldn''t remember seeing Yang Shi in Azure Wind City before.

    " Maybe, he is a young master of some hidden n?" He thought. Without good background, bing a master grade cksmith is very difficult. Yang Shi casually checked the mission there as he found many goodmissions.

    " I will take this one and this one."

    Yang Shi took twomissions, which were worth of hundred credit points. Most of themission was about alchemy, so Yang Shi could only pickmissions that were about cksmithing.

    Thosemissions were all about making three middle tier Spirit grade weapons. Yang Shi felt these were the easiest ones, so he chose them. Then he went to the treasure hall.

    " Can I get some Hazey Dream Grass?" Yang Shi asked as he ran out of his cigars. " Hazey Dream Grass? Sure, Each stalk is worth one credit point." The old man there said.

    Yang Shi spent ten credit points to purchase them. But before he left, he suddenly asked, " How much does Soul Nourishment Pill costs?"

    " Soul Nourishment Pill? Young Man, why are you asking about that pill? Your soul is injured?" The old man asked in surprise. " Ah, It''s just I want some." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Want some?!"

    The old man''s eyelid twitched. " Young Man, Each pill costs over 300 credit points. Moreover, You need to provide the ingredients yourself. There aren''t any Soul Nourishing Pill in stock. But then, You can ask a master alchemist here to concoct you a Soul Nourishing Pill.'''' The old man exined.

    " Oh. I understand now." Yang Shi nodded. He wondered where he can find an alchemist who can concoct Soul Nourishing Pill of good quality. " Hmm, I still have three stalks of Soul Nourishing Grass." Yang Shi thought. He knew how alchemists waste their materials. If Yang Shi gave them three stalks of Soul Nourishing Grass, he might get only one pill. But of course, he was talking about the alchemists here.

    Real legendary alchemists can concoct six top tier Soul Nourishing Pills from three stalks of Soul Nourishing grass.

    It''s not that YangShi disdaining the alchemists here, but having the memory of Samsara Emperor had increased his standards. He considers himself as one of the top notch master grade cksmiths, if not the best.

    He can proudly say that he can make Spirit grade weapons without wasting much material. Yang Shi wasing back, but suddenly he heard amotion.

    " Damn it! You call yourself a cksmith? It''s the fifth time my cauldron exploded." A young man shouted.

    " Young Master Liu, It''smon that cauldrons explode after unsessful pill refinement, Why are you ming this old man?" A middle aged man shook his head.

    " Unsessful pill refinement?! It''s because of your trashy cauldrons, I can refine Floating Cloud Pill. You cauldrons are trash, can''t even handle a bit of heat." The young Master Liu raged.

    " Young Master, you shouldn''t speak without evidence. Just because your pill refinement skill isn''t good, you will call my cauldron trash?" The middle aged man rebuked.

    " What''s happening here?" Yang Shi asked curiously. " Liu Jiang is arguing with Master Zhuo. He was trying to refine Floating Cloud Pill, so he bought a cauldron from Master Zhuo. But every time he refined Fting Could Pill, the cauldron would explode at thest minute." A passerby exined.

    " How many cauldrons have exploded by now?" Yang Shi asked. " Eh? By now, It''s about ten cauldrons. Each cost around 100,000 gold coins." The passerby sighed. " Hah? The total would be a million gold coins. Such wastage." Yang Shi shook his head.

    " Wait! Liu surname, What is his rtionship with Liu Jie?" Yang Shi suddenly thought of something. " Liu Jie? She is his elder sister." The bystander replied.

    " Sister Jie''s brother." Yang Shi sighed. " It seems I have to intervene." Yang Shi thought.

    " Fellow Daoists, why are you quarreling?" Yang Shi stepped forward with a smiling face. " Huh, brat, don''t meddle in my business." Master Zhuo waved his hand as he was already annoyed by Liu Jiang. Yang Shi''s face twitched as he was about to say something, but Master Zhuo cut in.

    " Liu Jiang, just because you are family head''s son, you think you can tarnish my reputation? You better apologize to me or forget about getting pill cauldrons again." Master Zhuo snorted.

    " Good! You think you are the only one who can forge pill cauldrons here? I was giving you some face earlier, but it seems you are not worthy of that." Liu Jiangughed coldly.

    " Haha! It seems you are adamant about your decision. Good! I will be eager to see when you wille crawling to get a pill cauldron from me." Master Zhou sneered as he turned to leave.

    Master Zhou is one of the senior Master grade cksmiths of Azure Wind City. He was famous in Azure Wind City. His reputation was also good.

    He was an expert in forging pill cauldrons. There are various types of cksmiths. Some can forge weapons, some are good in forging cauldrons, some are experts in making armors, and some can create strange artifacts.

    Of course, Yang Shi is a versatile cksmith. Som even he had never forged a pill cauldron, he has enough knowledge to forge one.

    " Hmph! Just wait and see how I will refine Floating Cloud Pill." Liu Jiang stomped his feet as he also turned to leave. " Uhh, Brother Liu, can you spare some time for me?" Yang Shi smiled.

    " Who are you? Do I know you?" Liu Jiang asked in confusion.

    " Hehe, do you recognize this?" Yang Shi smiled as he took out a sword from his spatial ring.

    Liu Jiang''s expression changed as he stared at that sword.

 Chapter 181: Elder Sisters Friend

    Chapter 181: Elder Sister''s Friend

    " Isn''t this is Elder Sister''s violet sword?! Why do you have it? WHO ARE YOU?" Liu Jiang''s expression changed as he pulled out his sword.

    " Hey, hey! Calm down, boy. You are too hot tempered." Yang Shi shook his head. He was trying to exin but the actions of Liu Jiang stopped him." Give me answer, bastard!" Liu Jiang charged at him. Yang Shi''s eyes turned cold as he just raised his hands.

    *CLANK* He grabbed the sword of Liu Jiang like grabbing a stick. " Wha-" Liu Jie was stunned as Yang Shi snatched the sword from him. " Listen here, brat! I am your sister''s friend. Her sword was broken during the duel with brother Mo Yi so she gave me this sword to repair." Yang Shi shouted angrily.

    Yang Shi almost lost his cool as he was trying to reason with Liu Jiang. " Ah! Uhh, So you are elder sister''s friend?" Liu Jiang stopped as he asked slowly. " Of course, Why do you think I still have her sword? And What could I have done to your sister? Isn''t she is in Liu n" Yang Shi had urged to strangle him

    " Ah! Yes!" Liu Jiang nodded. " It'' just my mood wasn''t good now, so I acted hastily. I hope brother can forgive me." Liu Jiang smiled awkwardly.

    " Here, take this sword. I have turned it into a high tier Spirit grade weapon. But yeah, although it''s not a quasi True grade weapon, it''s not far away from it." Yang Shi said as he passed that sword to Liu Jiang. Yang Shi could forge a Quasi True grade weapon, but enhancing a middle tier Spirit grade weapon to quasi True grade is still difficult for him as hecked some crucial materials.

    " Ah, Brother is a cksmith?" Liu Jiang asked in surprise. " Hehe." Yang Shi smirked as he showed him his master grade Golden Fire emblem. " Wha- YOU ARE A MASTER GRADE BLACKSMITH?!" Liu Jiang almost jumped from shock.

    " Wha- stop shouting. You almost scared me!" yang Shi took a step back as he was startled. " But you are so young." Liu Jiang''s eyes sparkled. " Of course, I am an one in a thousand year genius." Yang Shi said proudly.

    " COUGH* Liu Jiang coughed awkwardly. He never thought such a thick skinned fellow was his sister''s friend.

    " Anyway, I have another deal for you." Yang Shi smirked.

    " Deal?" Liu Jiang became confused.

    " Don''t you want a pill cauldron and refine Floating Cloud Pill?" Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Ah1 Yes!" Suddenly Liu Jiang realized. Yes, This person in front of him was a master grade cksmith.

    " Brother knows how to forge pill cauldrons?" Liu Jiang asked with surprise. " Don''t ask too many questions. Do want cauldron or not?" Yang Shi retorted. " Yes1" Liu Jiang nodded.

    " First, give me the broken pieces of Master Zhuo''s cauldron. I am sure you have them after the cauldrons exploded. Secondly, Just deliver a message to Mo Yi. Tell him that Yang Shi already arrived in Azure Wind City." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Ah, so brother''s name is Yang Shi. Ok, I will deliver brother inw the message." Liu Jiangughed.

    " Come back after doing all these things and get your cauldron from me." Yang Shi nodded.

    " Fine." Liu Jiang handed him a few broken pieces of metal as he rushed back to Liu n.

    " Hmm." Yang Shi looked at the broken pieces as he became thoughtful.

    " Can I have a room for forging?" Yang Shi showed his badge as he asked a person from the treasure hall. That''s where he can get all kinds of things avable in Golden Fire Alchemy Hall.

    " Ah! You are a master grade cksmith? Sure, You can have a resident here." The person there nodded as he handed a seal to Yang Shi. It was the key to his residence.

    " Thanks." Yang Shi smiled. All the sects and ns, every powerful faction, the least theycked are properties. For example, This alchemy hall was actually speared across more than a kilometer. Every kind of facility has been built there. There is also arge herb garden, the main source of herbs of Alchemy Hall.

    More than two thousand people live here. Yang Shi followed the path as he reached a house. It was more like a vi, with facilities including a pill refinement and forging room.

    Yang Shi entered the forging room as he took out his forging table. Then he took out the broken caludron pieces as he began to heat them with his Spirit Fire. The piece became red like zing sun as Yang Shi infused his Metal qi in it.

    " Hmm, Cold Iron, Hundred Year Jade Metal, ah, Deep earth quartz. These materials are still good, if not the best. But using Cold Iron to forge a low tier Spirit grade cauldron isn''t good." Yang Shi stroked his chin.

    For rank one and two pills, one would need a Mortal grade cauldron. For rank three and four pills, a Spirit grade cauldron is a necessary item. Yang Shi can deduce theposition of metals used in a cauldron by looking at its broken pieces by infusing his metal qi in them.

    " Hmm, But why did it explode while concocting Floating Cloud Pill? But wait....THAT''S IT!" Yang Shi suddenly understood. " It''s Deep Earth Quartz." Yang Shi pped his thigh.

    Commonly, Cold Iron is material for making Mortal grade weapons, but Master Zhuo used it with Deep Earth Quartz to make a Spirit grade cauldron to save money and resources. Deep Earth Quartz isn''t a metal cauldron makers generally use.

    People might not believe it, but Deep Earth Quartz is stopping the pill concoction of Floating Cloud Pill. The main ingredient of Floating Cloud Pill is Nether Tree Root. When it melts in the cauldron, its essencees into the contact of Deep Earth Quartz. It couldn''t handle the corrosive element of Nether Tree Root, so it explodes.

    " Oh well, Let''s make a cauldron." Yang Shi ignited his smelting furnace and took out his Sky Breaking Hammer.

    *DING DING DING DING*

    Yang Shi''s hammer fell like a rainstorm on the metal piece. Creating a cauldron requires twice the amount of metal as forging weapons. And it requires more strength.

    Yang Shi was hammering a metal piece that looked like a watermelon. It was his first time making a cauldron, so he was excited.

    Time passed as Yang Shi immersed himself in forging.

    ...............................................

    " Aiyaa, My little darling. That grandson of Mo Xiong! Once hees here, I will spank his butt." A old man shouted as he gently patted on the head of Liu Jie.

    " Grandpa, If you say such things about Brother Mo, I will not talk to you. Hmph!" Liu Jie pouted.

    " Pei! That Mo Yi, I don''t what he did to you. Didn''t always despised him, why you are getting affectionate to him?" The old man was startled.

    " When did I despise him?! Grandpa, don''t nder me." Liu Jie blushed as he rebuked.

    " Elder Sister!" A shout startled both of them.

    " Xiao Jiang! You came back?" The old man asked.

    " Yes, grandpa. Sister Jie, I have brought a present

    for you." Liu Jiang grinned.

    " Huh, since when you started to bring presents? Tell me, did you stirred up some trouble?" Li Jie''s eyes became sharp.

    " Elder Sister, Can you stop doubting me." Liu Jiang smiled helplessly. Then he took out the violet sword as he passed it to Liu Jie.

    " Ah! This sword! Didn''t I give this to brother Yang? How did you get this? Wait! Brother Yang arrived here?" Liu Jie became startled.

    " Brother Yang? Xiao Jie, who is Brother Yang?" The old man asked curiously.

    " He was the friend of Brother Mo. He is also a master grade cksmith." Liu Jie said.

    " Master grade?! Interesting." The old man became a bit surprised but heposed himself.

    " Ah! This sword is now a High tier Spirit grade weapon." Liu Jie became pleasantly surprised as he shed in midair.

    " Hmm." The old man took the violet sword from Liu Jie''s hand as he checked it. " Mm, not bad. The craftsmanship is very good. Hmm, it seems he used very few ingredients to forge this." The old man chuckled.

    " It''s because I wanted to preserve its appearance. If brother Yang used other metals, it would have looked different." Liu Jie hurriedly said. " Indeed, your brother Yang is a skilled cksmith." The old man approved.

    " Elder Sister, I have to leave now." Liu Jiang said.

    " Why?" Liu Jie asked.

    " Brother Yang said that if I informed Brother Mo Yi that he has arrived here, he would give me medicinal cauldron." Liu Jiangughed.

    " Cauldron? You sted another one?" Liu Jie sighed. " Wait, Can he also forge cauldrons?" The old man asked. " He was confident. I feel Brother Yang will definitely give me a cauldron." Liu Jiang said.

    " Don''t worry. You go back to brother Yang. I will inform brother Mo." Liu Jie waved her hands.

    " Aww! Elder Sister is the best!" Liu Jiang became happy as he hugged Liu Jie.

 Chapter 182: Unexpected Results

    Chapter 182: Unexpected Results

    Yang Shi put away his hammer as he looked at his semi-finished pill cauldron. " Hmm! Now, time for Spirit diagrams." Yang Shi''s called upon his Azure Lotus primordial spirit as his eyes became azure. He calmed his mind as he held his carving pen.

    " The Spirit diagrams of a cauldron should resonate with Wood and Fire elements. Wood and Fire is actually opposite element, but in alchemy, Wood and Fire support each other." Yang Shi thought. " I should make it as a middle tier Spirit grade cauldron." Yang Shi decided. " I will draw Verdant me Diagram.

    Yang Shi''s hand nimbly carved the Spirit diagrams on the bottom of the cauldron. It was very different than the Spirit diagrams of weapons. So Yang Shi wasn''t hasty as he carved slowly.

    "CLANK* Yang Shi gave the final stroke as the entier Spirit diagram glowed with faint light. Yang Shi stopped as he gazed at the pill cauldron. " Hehe. My first try is good." He smiled with satisfaction.

    " Although this looks good now, itcks a little finishing." Yang Shi suddenly thought of something as he began to polish the cauldron.

    He remembered the old wuxia shows on Earth. Their cauldrons looked much luxurious, like a fine piece of art. Yang Shi shaped the handle like the jaws of dragons. Then he also made so designs all over the cauldron.

    After that, he took some metal powder and smelted then. After that, he used the smelt as spray paint over the cauldron. It wasn''t some exceptional move, but these little things made the cauldron look beautiful. The smelted metal gave it a golden glow.

    " And thest thing." Yang Shi smirked as he wrote his name on the bottom of the cauldron. " Hehe, no one can steal my work." He chuckled.

    Just because of these designs, rich buyers won''t hesitate to pay the double or triple price from the original one.

    Yang Shi took almost four hours to forge this cauldron. Then he sat back as he channeled his Spiritual qi to relieve his body.

    ............................................

    " I wonder if Brother Yangpleted his cauldron. Hmm, Forging a cauldron isn''t an easy task. Even Master Zhuo takes more than half a day to forge a cauldron." Liu Jiang thought as he walked to the house of Yang Shi.

    " But, I am not worried about the cauldron. What if the cauldron of Master Zhuo didn''t have any issue? What if it''s me, who is unable to concoct Floating Cloud Pill." Liu Jiang became worried.

    " Bah! I don''t care about it anymore. Let the heaven decide." Liu Jiang smiled wryly as he shook his head. But there was slight anticipation in his heart to get some kind of surprise.

    He actually took a detour to buy more time for himself. But then, atst, he reached the doorsteps of Yang Shi''s house. He knocked on his door as he shouted, " Brother Yang! It''s me, Liu Jiang!."

    " Ah, Liu Jiang, Come in." Yang Shi shouted from inside. Liu Jiang nodded as he opened the door. But when Liu Jiang nced inside, he became stunned. He couldn''t move his gaze from the cauldron he saw.

    " This...This the cauldron you forged?" Liu Jiang stammered. " Why? It''s not good?" Yang Shi frowned. Since this was his first time, he couldn''t say that there is no fault in it.

    " No, I mean... This looks too good." Liu Jiang''s eyes glowed with excitement as he rushed to that cauldron. He hugged it as he began to inspect.

    " Wow, these carvings looking so beautiful. And these dragons like handles look so cool. Eh? What kind of Spirit diagrams is this? It looks like a me type Spirit diagram, but it''s muchplex." Liu Jiang said.

    " Everything is alright. You better test it." Yang Shi shook his head. " Right now?" Liu Jiang was startled. " Why not?" Yang Shi shrugged. " Well, Then, I am getting herbs." Liu Jiang nodded Then he rushed to the treasure hall to buy medicinal herbs.

    " I am back. I have bought three sets of medicinal herbs." Liu Jiang said. " En, You can use the alchemy room here." Yang Shi nodded. Liu Jiang put his cauldron as he sat beside it. With a flick of his hand, a Spirit Fire emerged.

    " This is my Beast Spirit Fire. A Heat breathing Sparrow. It was from a half-step Ancient Beast." Liu Jiang smiled proudly. " Tsk, don''t get distracted." Yang Shi chuckled. " Hehe." Liu Jiang chuckled as he lighted the cauldron. At first, he began to adjust the intensity of the me.

    " Wow, I can easily control this cauldron." Liu Jiang nodded as he focused on refining the pill. For refining a pill, there are three most crucial steps.

    First, choosing the right medicinal herbs and the order of putting herbs. Second, adjusting the mes with your Spirit Fire and extract the essence from the herbs. Lastly, condense the essence to concoct the pill.

    Although Yang Shi never refined a pill, even without the memory of Samsara Emperor, he can still understand the process. He had read all books about alchemy in the Golden Fire Tower in his leisure time, so he knows one or two things.

    Floating Cloud Pill is a rank two pill. It was used for meditation. By eating this, one can calm their mind while they cultivate. Its effect was better than other, same type of pills of rank two.

    But of course, it''s also very hard to concoct. It''s even harder than refining some easier rank three pills. That''s why it''s one of the pills an alchemist needs to refine to be an adept alchemist. It''s like giving a sort of exam.

    " Pungent Green Grass, Purple Silk Flower, Earth Serpent Herb..." Liu Jiang muttered as he three herbs in the cauldron. Yang Shi sat on the side as he watched the process with rapt attention.

    " REFINE!" Liu Jiang shouted as the mes zed around the cauldron. The herbs slowly melted as Liu Jiang controlled the me. After two hours passed, Liu Jiang''s hands moved.

    His face was focused as he knew that this was the most important part of the pill concoction. The liquid essence gathered as they slowly became solidified. Yang Shi also became tense as he watched the process.

    " Condense!" Liu Jiang finally stopped as the cauldron began to rumble. After that, one could hear a soft popping sound from it.

    " Could it be...." Yang Shi clenched his fist.

    " Sigh!" Liu Jiang sighed. " It failed..." He muttered.

    " Failed, huh." Yang Shi thought. He got up as he checked the cauldron.

    " Brother Yang. This cauldron is really good. But it seems my skills aren''t enough. Hah, but at least, I don''t have to go to that Master Zhuo for another cauldron." Liu Jiangughed bitterly.

    " Hehe, Little Jiang, you don''t have to feel bad." Yang Shi chuckled. He turned the cauldron as ck residue fell to the ground. From that pile of ashes, he took out something.

    It was a deformed pill, with two pill rings.

    " Heh, Still a pill nheless." Yang Shi chuckled.

 Chapter 183: Stingy Liu Jiang

    Chapter 183: Stingy Liu Jiang

    Liu Jiang''s eyes widened as he looked at that pill. All exhaustion from his face disappeared in the instance.

    " Hahahaha! I did it! I made the Floating Cloud Pill." Liu Jiang loudlyughed as he hugged Yang Shi. " Whoa! Whoa! Don''t hug me." Yang Shi pushed him.

    " Haha, It''s just that I got excited." Liu Jiang scratched his head as he grinned.

    " But this pill isn''t enough for me to be an adept alchemist. It''s not even a proper low grade pill." Liu Jiang said. Pills with less than three pill rings are worthless. This pill only had two pill rings, and also, it looks ugly.

    " So what! Now I know that I can refine Floating Cloud Pill. Damn! That Zhuo. I will unt my Floating Cloud Pill on his face." Liu Jiang snorted. Now that he knows that he could refine Floating Cloud Pill, his confidence grew.

    " Well, That''s good. Just practice, and you will be able to refine Floating Cloud Pills properly. Hmm, next time, Use Vital Spring Water to stabilize the essence of the herbs. Moreover, if you keep the temperature low in the second phase, the chances of concocting the pill would be higher." Yang Shimented.

    Liu Jiang became surprised as he heard Yang Shi. " Brother Yang also knows alchemy?" Liu Jiang asked in disbelief. " Just read some books." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Whoa! Brother Yang, You are too awesome!" Liu Jiang felt reverence toward Yang Shi. He was a Master grade cksmith from such young age, and now, he also knows about medicines.

    " Haha, It''s nothing." Yang Shi rubbed under his nose as he chuckled.

    " But now, since everything is settled..." Yang Shi rubbed his palms, " How about we talk about the payment?" Yang Shi smiled.

    " Eh? Payment?" Liu Jiang''s face stiffened. He never thought that Yang Shi would ask him for money.

    " What? Did you think I am not taking money from you because you are Sister Jie''s brother?" Yang Shi snorted. " Hehe." Liu Jiangughed bitterly.

    " Fine. For this exquisite cauldron, I will only ask your 200,000 gold coins." Yang Shi said.

    " 200,000! Brother Yang, don''t you think you are asking a bit, MUCH?!" Liu Jiang''s eyelid twitched as he spoke.

    " You paying 100,000 coins for a cauldron from Master Zhuo, but can''t give 200,000 for this beauty here?" Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Errm..." Liu Jiang smiled wryly. " Brother Yang, I know what you meant, But I have already spent a million gold coins for other cauldrons. Currently, I am tight on budget." Liu Jiang chuckled.

    " Oh,e on. Do you think an aristocratic family like Liu Familycks money? Hmm, if you showed them that you finally managed Floating Cloud Pill, they will give you lots of money." Yang Shi shrugged.

    " This..." Liu Jiang became stunned as he thought about it. Right, if he became an adept alchemist, his parents will fulfill all of his wishes.

    " This man is so cunning." Liu Jiang sweated.

    " Fine, I won''t haggle, a hundred thousand gold coins for this cauldron. All I am doing this for your Elder Sister." Yang Shi sighed. " But in addition, you must proudly say my name when someone asks about this cauldron." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Haha! Brother Yang is best." Liu Jiangughed. But he secretly sighed in relief in his heart. But then, when he saw that cauldron, he felt this was the right move.

    " Oh, I want to ask you something. Did you tell Mo Yi that I havee?" Yang Shi asked. " Uh, No. But my sister said that she will inform him personally." Liu Jiang said.

    " Hmm, That''s ok." Yang Shi nodded. He really wished to meet Bai Ruxue. " Oh well, I will just visit them tonight." Yang Shi thought. But for now, he wished to forge something else.

    " Hmm, That Feng Xiao''s armor is still unfinished. Hmm, I should forge it today." Yang Shi thought. Since he was in the flow, he might as well forge an armor.

    After two hours, Yang Shi''s face became ugly. Unexpectedly, his newly forged armor cracked.

    " Wh-What happened?" Yang Shi became stunned as he turned off his forge.

    " Hmm. It seems the Spirit diagram I drew was defective." Yang Shi pondered. It was his first time forging armor and it failed. Yang Shi thought about it as he didn''t forge again.

    " Heh, Let me take some rest. I will think after that." Yang Shi wiped his sweat as he got on his bed. But in his mind, he was still thinking about the armor.

    " Next time, I will change the proportion of ores. Moreover, I would carve a different Spirit diagram." Yang Shi thought.

    " Hey, are you sleeping?" Yang Shi asked Jin Yu.

    " What is it?" Jin Yu replied.

    " I forgot to tell you. I have reached the Initialpletion stage of Starlight Burst." Yang Shi said.

    " What?!" Jin Yu became startled. As far as she knew, Yang Shi was quite a bit far from achieving Initialpletion. " How did you reached Initialpletion so quickly?" Jin Yu asked.

    " While fighting with Violet Specter. I saw his movement technique as I suddenly achieved enlightenment." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Sudden enlightenment, huh?" Jin Yu muttered. Gaining sudden enlightenment isn''t easy as itpletely depends on a cultivator''sprehension and fortune.

    " Hmm, why don''t you exin to me more about the initial stage?" Yang Shi asked. " Initial stage...When you reach the initial stage, you will achieve a whole new realm. Getting into the initial stage, the technique would change significantly." Jin Yu exined.

    " Since you have achieved Initialpletion you should have already seen its speed, right?" Jin Yu asked. Yang Shi nodded. " That''s nothing, Initial stage willpletely boost your body. What I am saying, it will also increase the speed of your reflexes, attacking speed, and movement speed." Jin Yu slowly spoke.

    " Interesting." Yang Shi was a bit surprised as he chuckled. Starlight Burst was indeed a technique from the Golden Roc n. " After reaching the Initial stage, the technique''s name also changes. It would be called, Rising Immortal Eagle Technique." Jin Yu said.

    " Does that mean I will also be able to fly?" Yang Shi''s eyes shrunk. " Yes, But achieving that before Violet Pce Expansion realm is difficult."

    Normally, the spiritual qi of Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators is much less than Violet Pce Expansion Realm experts. So using that to support a flying skill is almost impossible." Jin Yu exined.

    " Haha, No need to worry about that." Yang Shi shrugged. His dantian can store ten times more qi than an average cultivator of the same realm. So he was eager to test the Rising Immortal Eagle Technique.

    After discussing with Jin Yu, Yang Shi got up and dried his Hazey Dream Grass. After that, he took a short nap. When he woke up, it was already evening.

    He was washing his face when suddenly he heard knocking sounds. " Eh? Who came at this time?" Yang Shi wondered. When he opened the door, a white figure hugged him.

    " Brother Yang! You finally came!" That figure yelled.

    Chapter 184: Rock Cutting Game

    ." Brother Mo, you almost scared me." Yang Shi said helplessly. That person was no other than Mo Yi.

    " Haha! Liu Jie came to our Mo n, saying that you have returned. Damn! How did you reach Azure Wind City so fast? I thought it would take almost a month for you." Mo Yi sighed.

    " Well, I got a flying Demonic beast as my mount. So, it didn''t take much time." Yang Shi said. " A flying type Demonic Beast? Wow! Mo Yi became startled.

    " Xiao Hei!." Yang Shi shouted. Suddenly, a ck crow came flying as it sat on the shoulders of Yang Shi. " Caw!" Xiao Hei cried like a crow as it rubbed its head against Yang Shi''s cheek.

    " This...This is a flying Demonic Beast?" Mo Yi was speechless.

    " Caw! I am Xiao Hei! Master''s Xiao Hei!" the crow cawed. Mo Yi was surprised as he heard Xiao Hei. " No wonder. It can speak the humannguage!" Mo Yi nodded. It was indeed the trait of a Demonic Beast.

    " So, How is Bai Ruxue?" Yang Shi asked. " Sigh, Brother Yang first asked about Sister Ruxue, but not me." Mo Yi sighed. Yang Shi became speechless as he heard Mo Yi.

    " Well, Everything is fine. But she indeed kicked some ruckus here." Mo Yi said. " Ruckus?" Yang Shi was startled.

    " Errmmm, It''s just that, some moths attracted to Sister Ruxue''s beautiful appearance." Mo Yi sighed.

    " Eh..." Yang Shi was speechless.

    " Ah1 Brother yang doesn''t need to worry about that. Heh, with Brother Yang''s prowess, you can crush those swine." Mo Yi chuckled.

    " Anyway, Brother Yang, this is the first timeing to the Azure Wind City?" Mo Yi asked. " Yes." Yang Shi nodded.

    " Why don''t I take you to side seeing?" Mo Yi said. " Hmm?" Yang Shi raised his brows. " Yeah, Azure Wind City is vast. There are many ces to visit." Mo Yi said. " Well, I don''t have anything to do now. So, Let''s go!" Yang Shi nodded.

    " That''s the spirit!" Mo Yiughed as he dragged Yang Shi. Yang Shi was already suspicious of Mo Yi''s destination. Soon, his suspicion turned true.

    " As I thought." Yang Shi sighed. In front of him, there was a luxurious building. Its name was Cloud Paradise Pce. One can easily understand its name. Yes, It''s the yground of all rich nobles.

    " Haha! Brother inw! You arete-" A young man came out enthusiastically, but he suddenly stopped as he saw them. Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as he looked at the young man.

    " Hehe, I remember someone saying that he is tight on money." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Haha..." Liu Jiang gave an awkwardugh. He never thought that Mo Yi would bring Yang Shi to this ce.

    " Eh? Does little Jiang know Brother Yang?" Mo Yi was surprised. " Why not? This fellow just purchased a product from me with a great discount." Yang Shi sighed.

    " Well..." Liu Jiang was speechless. " Haha, are you going to spend time here? Let''s go inside." Mo Yi pushed both of them into the Cloud Paradise. The entire pce was luxurious, with gold and silver craftsmanship. Luminous pearls brightened the entire pce. Each of those pearls cost more than 50,000 gold coins, yet there are countless pearls hung here.

    " Ah! Young master Liu. Wee to our humble abode!" Ady came as she greeted them. " This young master..." Thatdy looked at Mo Yi and Yang Shi. Since Mo Yi didn''te to Azure Wind City for a few years, people almost forgot about him.

    " Ah! He is Second Young master Mo, My brother-inw!" Liu Jiang hurriedly said. " Ah! Young Master Mo Yi." Thedy was startled. Although he never saw Mo Yi, she still knows his name.

    " And he is my friend, Yang Shi." Mo Yi said. " Young master Mo, Young master Yang, this way." Thedy smiled as she led them inside.

    " Brother Mo, are you really that sexually frustrated?" Yang Shi chuckled. " Who said that!" Mo Yi''s face stiffened as he hastily denied it. " You really want me to believe that?" Yang Shi raised his brow.

    " Well, not every girl is loving and caring like Sister Ruxue." Mo Yi chuckled. This time, Yang Shi''s face turned ck.

    " So you were there at that time? You were spying on me?!" Yang Shi raged.

    " Hehe, you were so loud that I couldn''t sleep that night." Mo Yi snorted.

    Liu Jiang was speechless as he heard them quarreling.

    " Let me introduce myself. I am Qi Jia, a humble servant of Cloud Paradise Pce." Qi Jian smiled as she said, Yang Shi looked at her and nodded. Although she wasn''t too beautiful, she wasn''t bad either. She was in her mid-twenties.

    " Sister Jia, why don''t you show us around?" Liu Jiang said. " Kek, It seems you are a frequent customer here." Yang Shi chuckled. " No wonder you can''t refine Floating Cloud Pill. Beware of these vixens. Otherwise, your inner fire would extinguish before you reach 18." Yang Shi said in disdain.

    " It''s not like that! Ie here once a month. Ok, Ok, twice. That''s all." Liu Jiang said hastily. " Hehe, Bringing your brother-inw to such a ce, I really appreciate you." Yang Shi gave Liu Jiang a thumbs up.

    " Well, She doesn''t care about it anymore. Moreover, It''s Little Jiang who brother me here." Mo Yi immediately pushed Liu Jiang to the pit. " Brother Mo! How can you do that?" Liu Jiang shouted as hisplexion turned ugly.

    " Hahaha." Yang Shi and Mo Yiughed at Liu Jiang''s reaction. As they went inside, Qi Jia showed them various things.

    " Here is our special gambling tform. It''s a rock cutting game." Qi Jia exined. " Rock cutting game? Isn''t that very simple?" Yang Shi asked in confusion. Qi Jia smiled as she exined, " Normal rock cutting? Yes, but this is different. These special rocks are called Core Amethyst rocks. These rocks prevent the Spiritual Qi, so one can''t use spiritual qi to know what''s inside it."

    " So what''s inside these rocks?" Yang Shi asked again. " Most of the stone doesn''t have anything in them. Buts some of them contains rare ores or spirit stones or Spiritual qi essence." Qi Jia replied.

    " Spirit Stones? Spirit Essence?" Yang Shi raised his brows. Getting normal ores is rare. Spirit essence was the condensed version of Spiritual qi.

    When spiritual qi congeals in one ce and can''t disperse, it naturally bes Spiritual essence. Its efficiency is lower than spirit stones, but it''s better than most rank three cultivation pills.

    As for getting spirit stones in Core Amethyst rocks, chances are almost negligible. Most people only aim for minerals in the,

    " Come,e! Test your fortune here. Ten thousand gold coins per rock. don''t miss your chance to double your money!" A person was shouting as he showcased the rocks.

    Each of them is big as a watermelon. Many people gathered around it as they bought multiple rocks at the same time to increase their odds of winning.

    " Brother Yang, what do you think?" Liu Jiang asked Yang Shi.

    " Sure!" Yang Shi nodded. He wanted to see if he was lucky enough to get a spirit stone.

 Chapter 185: Essence Jade

    Chapter 185: Essence Jade

    Yang Shi and his group looked at the rocks with interest. Yang Shi ced his hands on a rock as he tried to send his Spiritual qi in it. But surprisingly, he felt his spiritual qi bounced back as it came in contact with the Core Amethyst rock.

    " These rocks are unbreakable by ordinary Spirit grade weapons or Primordial Spirit realm cultivator. We use a special liquid to cut these stones. So you can be assured." Qi Jia said.

    " Well, I am going first." Mo Yi said. Suddenly, his eyes sparkled as they turned slightly red. " Brother Mo is using Primordial Spirit?" Yang Shi was surprised.

    " Yes, I am using the beast instinct of my zing me Heavely Stallion. I feel it''s worth trying since we can''t use spiritual qi. Sigh, only if we have the divine sense or soul qi." Mo Yi sighed.

    " Haha, Brother-inw sure makes good jokes. Without entering Violet Pce Expansion realm, it''s impossible to awaken soul qi." Liu Jiangughed.

    With soul qi, one can use divine sense. Although Core Amethyst rock also blocks divine sense, it can''t block all of it. So, the divine sense is like a cheat in this game. But no Violet Pce Expansion Realm expert has time to y here.

    " Ok, this one, this one..." Mo Yi picked dozen of rocks as he paid the gold coins. " Young Master, do you want to cut it now?" A person asked. " Sure." Mo Yi nodded. That person took out a thing that looked like a de, but there was a vein-like pattern on its edge. Moreover, there is seems to be a bottle attached to its end, filled with some kind of liquid.

    The liquid was blue in color, which flowed in the de as it slowly cut the Core Amethyst rocks. That person was an expert in his work, so quickly cut down all the rocks. Many people were doing the same work, as people are buying rocks like crazy.

    Yang Shi didn''t choose any as he looked at the situation first.

    " First, nothing. Second, nothing." Mo Yi saw as his rocks were split apart. Out of twelve rocks, eleven rocks were empty. But thest rock, Mo Yi saw a faint gleam in it.

    " Eh? A chunk of Purple Amethyst." That person said. It was purple stone, with size of a ball.

    " Congrattion! Young master. You have doubled your money. Moreover, Purple Amethyst Crystal can be forged into Spirit grade weapon." That person smiled. This chunk is worth more than all the gold Mo Yi had spent.

    " Haha! My luck is really good." Mo Yiughed. Yang Shi smiled as he looked at Mo Yi. He also knew as the inheritor of an Imperial ss Primordial Spirit, Mo Yi also favored by heaven.

    " Liu Jiang, why aren''t you trying?" Yang Shi asked Liu Jiang. " Hehe, My luck isn''t good as Brother Mo." Liu Jiang sighed. Yang Shi instantly understood his meaning. Liu Jiang came here frequently in past, so he must also have yed this game. Maybe he had lost too much money in this gamble, so he wasn''t interested anymore.

    Yang Shi rubbed his chin as he fell in thought. " Hmm, what other method I can use here? Metal Qi?" Yang Shi suddenly activated his Gold Devil Seal as thin strands of metal qi covered his palms. He ced his palms over the rocks as he tried to sense them.

    " Sess!" Yang Shi''s eyes gleamed. The Metal qi of Gold Devil Seal is the purest type of Metal qi. Yang Shi used this Metal qi to sense if there is any kind of ores in the Core Amethyst rock. Although he can''t tell what type of ore is inside of the rock, he could definitely sense if the rock is empty or not.

    " But what should I do with these ores? Although these materials are precious, I need spiritual essence and spirit stones. I can''t check if there is a spirit stone inside the Core Amethyst rock with my metal qi." Yang Shi vexed.

    " Brother Yang, aren''t you going to y?" Mo Yi asked. " Well, I want to check the rocks first." Yang Shi said. But suddenly, inspiration struck his mind.

    " Yes! I have Internal Energy." Yang Shi eximed in his heart. " But I have tried before, Internal Energy and Spiritual qi doesn''t mix. But, I should try it."

    As his cultivation grew, Internal Energy became useless. Yang Shi almost forgot that his body also had Internal Energy.

    Yang Shi slowly circted his Internal Energy. He tried to send Internal Energy into the Core Amethyst rock. Surprisingly, It easily went inside. " Indeed, It works." Yang Shi hastily checked rocks after rocks.

    " What is brother Yang doing?" Mo Yi mumbled. Yang Shi was running around the ces as he ced his hands over the rocks. Yang Shi wasn''t happy as he couldn''t find any traces of spiritual essence or spirit stones.

    After almost searching fifty rocks, Yang Shi''s expression changed. He felt his Internal Energy was expanded inside of that rock as if it collided with something.

    " This one. I want to buy this one." Yang Shi pointed at that rock. Its size was smaller than the other ones. Yang Shi quickly paid his coins as he rubbed his palms. That person nodded as he went to cut the rock.

    *CRACK* The moment the de touched the surface of the rock, it cracked like a coconut. There was a green stone inside of the rock. " Eh?! Is that an Essence Jade?!" That person eximed loudly. It was a piece of jade the size of an adult''s fist. The Essence Jade is the container of Spiritual essence. yang Shi was verry happy to see its size.

    " I think it shouldn''t be too far from a spirit stone." Yang Shi thought as he took that jade.

    Almost all people were cursing at Yang Shi''s luck.

    " Hell! I almost spent 500,000 gold coins to get nothing. But he just bought a randoms tone and got Essence Jade?" Someone raged.

    " Heavens! It''s not fair! I want my money back!" Another one said.

    " Haha! Ladies and gentlemen, as you see, this game isn''t a scam. This young master got an Essence Jade from his first try. Now, Pray fordy luck and pick your lucky rock!"

    manager announced as he saw Yang Shi''s luck. He used it in favor of boosting his game.

    " Hahahaha! Brother Yang, I knew you will do something. Damn! That''s an Essence Jade. And from its size, there should be an ample amount of Spiritual essence in it." Mo Yi said in envy.

    " Heh, Brother Mo is sure joking. After all, The Mo n is a thousand-year-old n. You should have a good amount of spirit stones and spiritual essence." Yang Shi chuckled.

    He was already happy to get this Essence Jade. He checked some other rocks, but there wasn''t anything of worth inside them.

    " But getting such a thing randomly is the best, isn''t it?" Mo Yiughed. " Who knows?" Yang Shi was murmuring as suddenly he heard someone shouting.

    " Hey, You! You just won that Essence Jade, right?" An arrogant looking young man suddenly shouted at Yang Shi. Yang Shi sighed as he turned around to look.

    That young man was surrounded by hisckeys and a few beautiful women, who were fawning over him.

    " Yes, I won that! What''s about that?" Yang Shi asked. " That thing. You don''t have much use for that. Why don''t you sell it to me?" That young man said. " I will give me 20,000 gold coins." He added.

    The hall became silent as everyone looked at that young man. Yang Shi''s eyes widened with shock. " So, what do you think?" That young man asked.

    Yang Shi turned around as he walked to Mo Yi as if he didn''t hear that young man. " It seems a retarded dog is barking." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " What did you said!" That young man raged. " Hmph1 I was clearly giving you a good offer, but it seems you won''t agree till you taste defeat." That young man snorted.

    " Liu Jiang, Who is that retard over there?" Mo Yi asked with an incredible expression on his face.

    " Uhh, He seems to be Xu Ao. The Young master of Xu n." Liu Jiang thought as he said.

    " Xu n, eh? Hehe." Mo Yiughed as his interest was picked.

    " Time for some trouble."

    " Impudence! You dare to curse Young master Xu?" Another young man shouted at Yang Shi.

    " Are you Young master Xu?" Yang Shi looked at him as he asked. That young man was stunned as he heard the question.

    " No, But..."

    " Then shut your mouth. Since I am talking to him, why are you answering?" Yang Shi snapped back.

    That young man was trying to please Xu Ao, but hearing Yang Shi, he shut his mouth.

    " Haha, Your guts are very big. Even after knowing my status, you are still unyielding. Obediently hand over that jade, and I will spare you life." Xu Ao snorted.

    " Xu Ao, you think Azure Wind City is your territory? You dare to threaten my friend in broad daylight?" Liu Jiang cursed.

    " Liu Jiang? Hah! You think having Liu n as a backer makes you some bigshot? You are just a silk pant relying on his family. First, be an adept alchemist then talk in front of me." Xu Aoughed as he pointed at Liu Jiang.

    " You! Xu Ao, don''t go too far! Just wait! In three days, I will be an adept alchemist." Liu Jiang dered. " Without a cauldron? Heh, I already know about the matter with Master Zhuo. Let'' see how you be an adept alchemist in three days." Xu Aoughed.

    " And you, Why are you standing there? Give that Essence Jade to me." Xu Ao said again.

    " What''s with that unreasonable fellow?" Yang Shi asked Liu Jiang. " Xu Ao is the son of Secon Xu n elder. He was also a core disciple of the Golden Sun Sect. He is also a three-star adept alchemist." Liu Jiang sighed.

    " I see." Yang Shi nodded.

    " He recently became the core disciple of Golden Sun Sect. So his pride has reached the sky." Liu Jiang snorted.

    " Hey, Can you just shut up! You think you can oppress us by using Xu n''s fame? You are just a son of an Elder." Mo Yi cackled as heshed out at Xu Ao. Xu Ao''s face turned livid as he became angry.

    " Bastard!" Xu Ao roared as he drew his sword.

    " Young master, Please! It''s forbidden to fight here." A man hastily came as he tried to stop them.

    " Do you think you can stop me?" Xu Ao red at the man. " I am just saying not to fight here. However, you can go to our battle arena. You can fight there." That person shook his head.

    " Good! good! I also want to see the skills of this Young master Xu. Hmph!" Mo Yi snorted. Yang Shi instantly understood why Mo Yi was getting eager.

    Since he came back to Azure Wind City, He wants to dominate the younger generation. That''s why Mo Yi thought battling was the best option to spread his fame.

    " Hehe, Brother Mo, You are taking all the fun yourself." Yang Shi pouted. " What, Brother Yang wants to take part in this?" Mo Yiughed.

    " Why not? I want to exercise my body before I consume this Essence Jade. With some battle insight, I will swiftly be able to reach the Seventh stage." Yang Shi said.

    " Tch, I was thinking to crush that fellow. Nheless, Your brother is magnanimous." Mo Yi nodded. Yang Shi smiled after hearing his response.

    " Eh? Brother Yang is going to fight?" Liu Jiang was surprised. " Why? You think I am going to lose?" Yang Shi raised his brows. " N-No, I mean, He was an Eighth stage cultivator." Liu Jiang mumbled.

    " Let''s go." All of them proceeded to the battle arena.

    It was like a stadium with people all around them. They were cheering as they saw the fights. There is also a bettings stand, where people bet their money.

    " Eh? Something is happening?" People began to whisper as a chubby looking person walked on the stage. " Ladies and gentlemen, Today, there is going to be a special fight." That person shouted.

    " Young noble of Xu n, Xu Ao is going to fight with noble Yang Shi. Are you ready to witness this fight?!" That chubby shouted.

    " YES~!" Everyone shouted back.

    " Hurry up and bet on your favorite fighter. The odds are 1:4." The chubby added.

    " Whoa! Does that mean if that Yang guy wins, we can get four times of our bets? That''s crazy." Someone muttered.

    " Heh, Do you think any random guy can win against Xu Ao? Don''t forget, he is a core disciple of the Golden Sun Sect. He must have Mystic grade techniques." Another person chuckled.

    " But that''s good. Even if Xu Ao wins, we can double our money. Not to mention, in previous matches, the odds were one and a half and one in third. Damn, I am betting 50,000 gold coins on Xu Ao."

    " 100,000 on Xu Ao."

    " Me too. Xu Ao, you gotta win." Many people cheered.

    " Hehe, Time for making money. I am betting a million gold coin on Yang Shi." Mo Yiughed as he threw a bag of gold coins to the betting manager.

    " Brother inw... Fine, I am also betting a million on Brother Yang." Liu Jiang gritted his teeth as he also paid. After he saw Mo Yi casually betting a million, Liu Jiang also wanted to bet on Yang Shi.

    " Damn, that was myst bit of allowance. I hope brother Yang wins." Liu Jiang prayed in his heart.

    Both Yang Shi and Xu Ao entered the arena as they stared at each other.

    " You still have a chance. Kowtow before me and leave that Essence Jade. I might spare you life." Xu Ao sneered.

    " Why speak so much bullshit? Are you going to fight with your mouth?" YangShi shrugged.

    " Good! Let''s see if you walk out alive from here." Xu Aoughed angrily.

    " Whoa, Brother! Since things developed till this stage, why not make it spicier?" Yang Shi chuckled.

    " What do you mean?" Yang Shi chuckled.

    " It''s simple. I bet this Essence Jade, and you will bet a spirits stone. The winner shall take all." Yang Shi said.

    " You think your Essence Jade is worth a spirits tone?" Xu Ao snorted.

    " I will add a Quasi true grade weapon." Yang Shi said.

    " Heh, It seems you have quite some treasures. Don''t worry, I will take care of them." Xu Aoughed. " Heh, I just hope you aren''t poor enough not to be able to afford a spirit stone." Yang Shi snorted.

    " Enough chit-chat. Let''s fight!" Xu Ao roared.

    Yang Shiughed as he brandished his Heaven Cmity saber.

    " Gold Split!"

    ..........................................

    " Youngdy, Who do you think will win?" A person asked.

    " Hmm, That Yang fellow looks no fool. But here, Xu Ao has the advantage. But, we shouldn''t conclude everything now." A girl in a purple dress said calmly, but her eyes were fixed upon Yang Shi.

    " Hmm, His physique looks familiar."

    Chapter 187: Mountain Cut

    Yang Shi roared as his saber shone with pale golden light. His saber blurred as it shed against Xu Ao''s sword with tremendous strength.

    " Dawn Splitting Sword!" Xu Aos shouted as he raised his sword and hacked down. The sword erupted with a fiery aura as it sent a crescent beam of light at Yang Shi.

    " Gold Split, Chain sh!" Yang Shi''s Gold Devil Seal opened as a stream of Metal qi flowed in his saber. The saber easily blocked the attack of Xu Ao.

    " Rising Dawn sh!." Xu Ao didn''t stop as he continued to attack Yang Shi. His attacks were like the sunlight of dawn, illuminating the arena.

    " Whoa, Isn''t that Great Dawn Sword Arts from Golden Sun Sect?" Someone shouted.

    " Isn''t that a Mystic grade technique?" A person asked.

    " He is a core disciple of Golden Sun Sect. He should have ess to Mystic grade techniques. Moreover, the Sect never gives out the full technique. What Xu Ao is using is a fragment of the Mystic grade technique." Someone exined.

    Yang Shi used Soaring Eagle Immortal Steps for the first time as his body blinked. His body was like a ghost as he moved through the attacks.

    Xu Ao''s face flushed as he saw Yang Shi was dodging the attack with ease. " Rascal, Do you only know how to dodge?!" Xu Ao shouted in anger.

    " You want me to attack? Sure!" Yang Shi sneered as he stopped dodging and jumped.

    " Tiger Descends from Mountain!" Suddenly, a baleful ughter aura rises from Yang Shi''s body as he hacked down his saber. His saber hummed like a tiger''s roar as it fell on Xu Ao.

    " Break!" Xu Ao used his sword to block the attack of Yang Shi, but he got sted back due to the

    " Break!" Xu Ao used his sword to block impact.

    " Damn it!" Xu Ao was enraged as heposed himself. " Scattering Light steps." Xu Ao used his movement technique as his body shed. He used his speed to attack Yang Shi!.

    " Heh! Competing me with speed? Naive!" Yang Shi snickered as he easily dodged the attack. " Gold Split! ming sh!" Yang Shi summoned his Spirit Fire as he fused Fire qi into his saber.

    *KRRRR! KRRR!!*

    The air sizzled as his ming saber shed. Xu Ao''s expression changed as he hurriedly jumped back.

    *BOOM!*

    The ground charred as the attack hit the arena.

    " Damn! What a power!" People sucked a breath of cold air. They were relieved since the arena was made from special formations. It can easily absorb the impact of Violet Pce Expansion Realm experts.

    " You really forced me to use my ultimate move!" Xu Ao took a deep breath as his aura rose. A spirit of an ancient paper fan appeared behind him. It was embedded with various gems as it burned with a blue me.

    " My Primordial Spirit, me controlling Fan. " Xu Ao raised his hand as he grabbed that giant fan.

    " Grand Sr Storm!" Xu Ao roared as he poured all of his spiritual qi into his fan. The fan expanded as its mes zed.

    " SWISH*

    With a whistling noise, the me burst as countless arrows of mes fell on the arena. It was like a meteor shower. Yang Shi frowned as he couldn''t dodge this attack.

    " Gold Devil Armor! zing me Wall!" Yang Shi raised his saber as his Spirit Fire bloomed under his feet, like a crimson lily opening its petals. The me erupted like a tidal wave as it created a dome around his body.

    Afterprehending the secondyer of Great Yang Sr me Art, Yang Shi can use me ording to his will. zing me Wall is a defense-type technique that creates a fire barrier.

    It consumes arge amount of spiritual qi, but its defensive capabilities are good.

    " Let''s see how much your turtle shell can endure." Xu Ao increased his power as his face became pale. The spiritual qi from his body drained rapidly. He was using a powerful Mystic grade technique along with his Primordial spirit, so that''s only natural.

    " Hmph, You think my Spirit Fire is a pushover?" Yang Shi snickered as he blocked Xu Ao''s attack.

    " How?! How is this possible?" Xu Ao was staggered. His Grand Sr Storm can defeat even Ninths stage cultivators, if notpletely kill them.

    But Yang Shi was having an easy time defending against this attack.

    Although zing me Shield drains lots of spiritual qi, Yang Shi''s dantian was big enough to sustain the consumption.

    " Now, take my attack! Mountain Cut!" Yang Shi''s eyes became focused as he vertically raised his saber. It was like the arena became a vacuum as everyone felt a dreadful aura gathering in that saber.

    Yang Shi shed down the saber as a phantom of a giant saber ovepped with Yang Shi''s Heaven Cmity saber.

    *BOOOOOOM*

    The ground split into two as the whole arena rumbled. It was like someone hacked it with a giant axe. The runes around the arena lit as a light shield emerged. It shook violently, but it managed to contain Yang Shi''s attack.

    Xu Ao''s expression changed as he used his sword the block that attack. It''s like an ethereal saber wasing to split him apart.

    "Light Shield Talisman!" Xu Ao ripped a yellow paper as faint yellow light covered his body. But unfortunately, Yang Shi'' Mountain Cut tore it like paper.

    Xu Ao got sted back as the yellow light shield was scattered. His clothes torn, revealing a soft leather armor inside. The armor cracked as it was broken by the impact.

    Xu Ao coughed a mouthful of blood. He felt his internal organs turned into mush. He was on verge of passing out when he saw Yang Shi wasing to him.

    " Don''t...Don''t Kill me...." Xu Ao mustered his strength as he spoke. For the first time, he was afraid of dying.

    " Heavens! What kind of saber technique was that?!!" The audience was rmed as they roared with cheers.

    " Damn! Even Xu Ao''s Great Dawn Sword Art was pale in front of Yang Shi''s move." Someone elsemented.

    " No matter what, This guy''s fame will shoot to the sky." A middle aged manmented.

    " Hehe, I wonder how Xu n will react."

    People were discussing about the battle they witnessed. Most of themmented that their money on Xu Ao was wasted.

    " Fuck! Why didn''t I betted on Yang Shi? That''s four times of my money!" A young man pulled his hair in rage.

    Yang Shi''s face was also pale. He never tried the Mountain Cut move before. This third move was much different than the first two moves of Heaven Saber Seven Arts.

    The third move was more like connecting with the world or the saber itself.

    Yang Shi finally realized that he was missing a crucial part to use this move. Thankfully, his body was strengthened by the Metal qi of Gold Devil Seal. That''s why he was able to withstand the bacsh of the move.

    " I need more practice andprehension." Yang Shi mumbled as he wiped the blood from his mouth. Then he looked at Xu Ao, who was lying on the ground, covered in blood.

    " Thankfully, I reduced my attack power. Hmm, This brat is also wearing a high-tier Spirit grade armor. But it can''t withstand the power of Mountain cut, even if it''s less than half of its true might." Yang Shi chuckled as he walked to him.

    " Hurry up and get a healing pill for him." Yang Shi shouted. He really doesn''t care if Xu Ao dies, but he owes him a spirit stone, so Yang Shi was a bit anxious.

    " You!! You were trying to kill our young master!" Theckeys of Xu Ao pointed at Yang Shi as they raged.

    " If you going to waste time like this, he might really die." Yang Shi shrugged.

    Theckeys became stunned as they hastily fed Xu Ao a healing pill. Xu Ao finally moved his body as he took out a pill bottle from his storage pouch. He took out a green looking pill and swallowed it.

    His bleeding stopped as Xu Ao''s face regained some colors.

    He fiercely nced at Yang Shi, with a mixture of fear and murderous intent.

    Chapter 188: Unfortunate Green Snake Gang

    " Now, now, Don''t look me like that. You think I am taking pity on you?" Yang Shi snickered. " Hand over the spirit stone."

    " You!!!" Xu Ao felt his blood rushed to his head as he coughed another mouthful of blood. He thought YangShi held back in thest minute because of the status of the Xu n. But it turned out to be a spirit stone.

    He was reluctant as he took out a shiny stone and threw it to Yang Shi. Yan Shi caught it as he smiled.

    " J-Just wait! I will crush you under my feet in Grand Royal Tournament." Xu Ao gnashed his teeth as he got up. Throwing a deadly ce at Yang Shi, he went out.

    " Young Master!" Hisckeys supported him as they went out. Yang Shi didn''t care about it as he went to Mo Yi. Mo Yi wasughing loudly with Liu Jiang.

    " Ahahaha! Goddamn! I made Four million gold coins! Hahaha!" Liu Jiang was ecstatic as he was almost jumping in joy.

    " Eh?! Wait, You guys betted on me?" Yang Shi asked in surprise.

    " Well, How can we leave such an opportunity?" Mo Yi snorted.

    " Wait, Did you also betted in my name?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " Uhh..." Mo Yi''s smile stiffed as he stopped speaking. Yang Shi''s eyes turned weird as he understood. " Well, Why don''t we split the money in half?" Yang Shi smiled as his eyes sparkled.

    " No." Mo Yi rejected straightly. " Brother Yang, Just fighting with Xu Ao, you got a spirit stone. Why do you want our gold coins?" Mo Yi exined hastily. " Moreover, Winning from Xu Ao, Your fame going to soar to the sky."

    " Having too much limelight isn''t good though." Yang Shi muttered. But he was confident to reach the Seventh stage in one go with the help of the Essence Jade and spirit stone.

    " Haha! Brothers! Let''s celebrate!" Liu Jiangughed. " Let''s meet up with some beautiful girls. I am sure girls of Cloud Paradise Pce will steal your heart."

    " As expected from a regr customer. Why don''t you get a permanent girl for yourself?" YangShi chuckled.

    " Hehe." Liu Jiangughed embarrassedly.

    " No matter what, Seeking fun outside isn''t bad. You know, You need to vent your inner fire sometimes." Mo Yi smacked his lips as he smiled lewdly. " Why don''t you say that to Sister Jie?" Yang Shi snorted.

    " Well." Mo Yi was flustered, but his skin was thick, so he just smiled.

    " Sister Jia, It seems you forgetting the main reason we came here." Liu Jiang chuckled. By that time, Qi Jian was already there. Liu Jiang wrapped his arm around Qi Jia''s waist as he smiled evilly.

    " Haha, Young Master Liu is getting impatient." Qi Jian smiled seductively as she didn''t mind Liu Jiang.

    " Another flower got ruined.." Yang Shi sighed. From their talks, He understood that these two already slept multiple times.

    " Actually, there is a special guest who arrived here." Qi Jian smiled mysteriously.

    " Oh?" All three became interested.

    " Yes, The Flower Princess of the Hundred Flower Pavilion came here for a talent showdown." Qi Jia said.

    " Fower Princess?" Yang Shi became interested. He was actually looking forward to meeting this Flower Princess. Yang Shi already met Xia Rong and Shao Zhu. So he wondered about the Flower Princess.

    " She will beparing her zither skills with Cloud Paradise''s Fairy Lingyun." Qi Jian said.

    " Eh? Fairy Lingyun is performing today? Hehe, It will be a feast of eyes tonight." Liu Jiang was startled as heughed loudly.

    " Well well, It seems today is our lucky day." Mo Yi chuckled loudly.

    " Sister Jia, I hope you will apany me during the show. We can also discuss the music." Liu Jiang rubbed his palms. " Sure, As young master wishes." Qi Jian smiled.

    " And also, My brothers came here for the first time. Hope you will prepare some sealed stuffs for us." Liu Jiang looked at Yang Shi and Mo Yi as he spoke.

    " You really got a talented brother-inw, Brother Mo." Yang Shi was speechless.

    " Hehe, His tastes are just like me, Premium quality." Mo Yi chuckled.

    " Let''s go! I have booked a private room for ourselves. We can rest before the show there." Liu Jiang said as the trio went along with Qi Jia.

    They entered a luxurious room with a ss wall in front of them. " Young masters, be assured. You can see everything happening outside, but nobody can see what''s happening in this room." Qi Jia smiled.

    " Interesting. Prepare some delicacies for me. And some fine wine." Yang Shi nodded as he ordered. " Sam as Yang Shi said." Mo Yi also spoke.

    " As young lords wishes." Qi Jia nodded.

    The room was veryrge, with multiple rooms separated by walls, with a meeting room. Yang Shi went to a room as he lied down on the bed. But not after long, he could hear the whispers of a man and ady.

    " Fufufu, It seems Young master is getting excited. Don''t Your, Tonight, Qi Jia shall be yours." Ady said softly as Yang Shi could hear some rustling sounds.

    Yang Shi was a bit curious as he activated the Celestial View as he peeked into that room.

    " Man, this thing is awesome." Yang Shi saw Liu Jiang was naked as he drunk a golden liquid from a vial.

    " Wait, Isn''t that, Sublime Yang Elixir?" Yang Shi was speechless as Liu Jiang gulped in it one go. Liu Jiang''s body became slightly red as he began to sweat.

    Then he bent down as he sucked the mountain peaks of Qi Jia, who was lying on the bed without clothes.

    *PA PA PA PA PA*

    Yang Shi didn''t look there anymore as the soft pping sound from that room exined everything.

    " AHNN, Lord is so wild today. Ah, Ahh..." Qi Jia moaned as their intensity of exercise increased.

    " These two..." Yang Shi clenched his teeth as he walked out of his room.

    " Ugh, But I also haven''t done it for a long time." Yang Shi mumbled.

    " Fuck."

    Yang Shi cursed in his mind as his mood was disturbed. But then, A few beautiful girls came with food servings. Mo Yi and Yang Shi sat to dine as they chatted. The maids stood back, waiting for further instruction.

    " Why Liu Jiang didn''te?" Mo Yi asked.

    " He was busy with Qi Jia. They probably discussing the wonders of the human body." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Haha, Brother Yang has good humor." Mo Yiughed.

    " Anyway, Brother Mo, Do you know anything about Wei Cang?" Yang Shi asked suddenly.

    '' Wei Cang? Nephew of Minister Wei?" Mo Yi thought as he said.

    " Yeh, When I was in the outer city, I heard someone killed him." Yang Shi said.

    " Ah yes, I also heard that. Although he was someone from Wei Family, his talent was average. He ran business outside the Azure Wind City and run errands for his n." Mo Yi said.

    " I don''t think his identity doesn''t seem to be simple. Otherwise, Why there would assassins after him?" Yang Shi shook his head.

    " Well, I heard some rumors that he did all the dirty works for his ns. He must have known some sort of secret, that''s why he got killed. But yeh, Wei n''s isn''t going to tolerate this matter. There would be investigations." Mo Yi chuckled.

    " Hmm." Yang Shi fell in thought.

    " Oh, Since you talked about Wei Cang, did you know about the incident about the Green Snake Gang?" Mo Yi asked suddenly.

    " They and the Wei family got into conflict. Haha, They and the Wei family guards got fooled by the assassin while that assassin killed Wei Cang." Mo Yiughed as he drunk wine.

    " But that''s not the end. It seems their time is bad.

    Apparently, they are arge mercenary group. But they actually smuggled ves. They kidnapped children of noble ns and sell them in ck."

    " But then, They got exposed by the Shadow Witch." Mo Yiughed.

    " Heh, All of those ns are angry now. It seems they all grouped up andint in the royal court. They might also be nning to hunt down the gang members. All in all, Green Snake Gang is in big trouble."

    " Shadow Witch?" Yang Shi was surprised.

    " Wow, Our names are matching. Wait, Could it be that girl''s nickname?" Yang Shi thought suddenly.

    " Yeh, She was quite famous in the mercenary world. Moreover, Her specialty was to expose these children ve trafficking gangs."

    " It seems she is a gooddy." Mo Yi smacked his lips, " I wonder how she looks. She must look beautiful, am I right brother Yang?" Mo Yi asked.

    " Maybe." Yang Shi shrugged. But he noted her name in his mind.

 Chapter 189: Strange Coincidence

    Chapter 189: Strange Coincidence

    " Well, there is another thing I would like to ask." Yang Shi nodded as he said. " What is this Grand Royal Tournament?''

    " Grand Royal Tournament? Hmm, I was about to talk with you about that." Mo Yi sighed lightly.

    " Grand Royal Competition is the event that happens in Azure Wind Ancient Kingdom one in every ten years. It was a martialpetition, choosing the strongest among the younger generation."

    " Most n and Sect choose their disciples from thatpetition. So it''s the best tform for vagabond cultivators to show their talents and join a powerhouse."

    " Moreover, the rewards are very generous for the winners." Mo Yi said. " But this time, Grand Royal Competition is different." Mo Yi added.

    " How so?" Yang Shi questioned.

    " This time, there is a special reward for the top twenty participants. They will gain a chance to enter the Mysterious Spirit Realm." Mo Yi said with an excited tone.

    " Mysterious Spirit Realm?" Yang Shi became confused.

    " Yes, Mysterious Spirit Realm is a secret dimension, which opens once in every hundred years. Legend says that it was a dwelling ce of an ancient celestial being."

    "There are loads of priceless treasures and techniques inside that realm. Spirit herbs, rare demonic beasts, natural treasures of heaven and earth, everything is there." Mo Yi sighed in admiration.

    " Ancient Celestial being?" Yang Shi was thinking as he suddenly fell into a daze. He felt something remembering as floods of images shed in in mind.

    " Damn, This feeling again!" Yang Shi cursed as he understood what''s happening. It seems this ce was something Samsara Emperor remembers. That''s why a part of his memory was unlocked.

    " But the thing is, only a limited amount of people were able to enter every time the Mysterious Spirit Realm opens. And there is also cultivation restriction. Cultivators of early-stage Violet Pce Expansion Realm and lower were able to enter."

    " If someone dares to oppose these rules, they will be killed by the ancient formation there. There was an ancient formation, which enforces the rules in the Mysterious Spirit Realm. It''s more like a sentient being." Mo Yi said.

    " Interesting. It seems I need to raise my cultivation quickly." Yang Shi thought inwardly. He wanted to reach Violet Pce Expansion Realm as soon as possible. After that, he would be able to roam through the world.

    " What''s the prize for the first ce?" Yang Shi asked suddenly.

    " Hundred low grade spirit stones and a top mystic rank technique." Mo Yi sighed.

    " Wow!" Yang Shi''s eyes sparkled as he heard about the reward. A hundred low grade spirit stone is enough for him to reach the early stage of the Violet Pce Expansion realm.

    " But it won''t be easy. For the first ce. it will be the battle among the quasi Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators. So getting the first prize is far away for me. But well, for the top twenty, I can easily enter." Mo Yi chuckled.

    " I forgot about it, Two dayster, the auction of Hundred Gold Pavilion would begin. Be on time ok? I hear there will be some rare treasuresing out." Mo Yi said.

    " I know. I also have some items which I am going to sell there." Yang Shi chuckled. He remembered that he has demonic cores of high ranks Demonic beasts. Since he isn''t an alchemist and can''t forge True rank weapons, for now, he doesn''t have much use for these cores.

    " Well, Since I have eaten, my body feelszy."Mo Yi stretched his body as he yawned. The servant girls smiled as they closed Mo Yi.

    " Young Master, Shall we give you some massage?" They smiled brightly. " Sure!" Mo Yi''s eyes sparkled.

    Yang Shi could see that one of the girls is already using Mo Yi''s shoulder to rest her breasts.

    " Young Master Yang, do you also want some special service?" Another girl asked.

    " No, I am fine." Yang Shi shook his head. He wanted to raise his cultivation as he went back to another room.

    He took out the essence jade as he took out his dagger. He slowly peeled the stone as he was cutting a vegetable. After he reduced his side, he slightly knocked over the. The jade cracked like an egg as translucent fluid came out from it. Yang Shi hurriedly drank it as he felt a sweet taste spread in his mouth.

    It was condensed spiritual qi which is very beneficial for cultivators. Yang Shi quickly channeled. his spiritual qi as he gathered it in his dantian. The revolution of spiritual qi became faster and faster as the quantity of spiritual qi increased in his dantian.

    " Finally, I am at the peak of the Sixth stage now. Hmm, But I thought I will be able to break through to the Seventh stage." Yang Shi''s expression turned odd but he shooked his head.

    " Well, It seems it''s about time." Yang Shi got up as he dressed. As he opened Mo Yi''s room to call him, he was jolted on the spot. Mo Yi was really having a sandwich massage, as he was moving his hiped vigorously.

    The two servant girls were panting in ecstasy as they were moaning. " Good! Brother Mo is really vigorous." Yang Shi gave Mo Yi''s thumbs up.

    Mo Yi saw Yang Shi standing at the door as he was embarrassed, " Uhh, It seems I will bete. Why don''t brother Yang go first?" He panted but didn''t stop.

    " Fine!" Yang Shi pouted as he turned to leave.

    " These horny bastards." He cursed inwardly.

    He walked to the main hall as he saw many people were gathering there. He sat at a table as he asked for a bottle of wine. The wine here is also delicious. It has a cool and icy taste.

    Yang Shi took out his cigarette as he began to smoke. He felt he had returned to his old days when he sat in bars and smoking alone.

    " Ladies and Gentleman, your wait is over. The legendary sh of this year is here. The musical battle between Flower Princess and Fairy Lingyun." A handsome male came out as he announced. The audience cheered as the curtains lifted.

    Yang Shi saw two beautiful figures came out as the audience gasped in admiration. One wore a beautiful green dress with golden flower patterns on it and another one wore a light blue colored robe, with her legs and shoulders exposed.

    " Ahh! Fairy Lingyun''s thighs." Someone sighed in excitement.

    " Those thighs, I wish they wrap around me, like a snake. I won''t regret if they choked to death." Yang Shi heard someone else''s saying that.

    Yang hi almost spit his wine as he heard them.

    " But hey, Flower Princess is also very beautiful. I have heard her music once. It was like a heavenly rhythm."

    Yang Shi heard all praise as he looked at Flower Princess. He was curious as he activated his Celestial View.

    " Wait what?!" Yang Shi was startled as he looked at Flower Princess.

    He could see a faint green halo around her, full of vitality. Yang Shi was surprised as he connected dots into another matter.

 Chapter 190: Musical Battle

    Chapter 190: Musical Battle

    " Is she really that girl?" Yang Shi was amused. It would be a very strange coincidence if the Flower Princess turned out to be Shadow Witch. " Hmm, Let;''s see her performance first." Yang Shi chuckled as he looked at her.

    Fairy Lingyun was truly looking like an elegant fairy, making the heartbeat of men speed up. The Flower Princess has her own charm, seductive and charming like a fresh rose. But the first thing Yang Shi looked at, to appreciate their sizes.

    " Well, I must admit. Fairy Lingyun''s mountains are bigger. Mm, quite a body. But then, Flower Princess''s body is also sexy. Kek, I wonder how she will return her favor to me?" Yang Shi smacked his lips.

    " Sister Hua, I have heard about your zither skills. I hope your ''Yearning of Vermillion Bird tune'' won''t disappoint me." Fairy Lingyun smiled.

    " I also wish I could hear your '' Sigh of Heart Melody'' first." Flower Princess replied politely. " Haha, I don''t think I will need to y that to defeated you." Lingyun snorted.

    " Only time will tell that." Flower Princess shook her head as an ancient zither appeared in her hands. It was a long zither, with beautiful carvings on it. Its string was shining like silver lightning.

    " Allow me." Flower Princess bowed slightly as she began to y her zither. Her fingers moved elegantly as a mesmerizing tune begun to y.

    The crowd became silent as they immersed themselves in the music. Although Yang Shi didn''t have much musical experience, he couldn''t help but sigh in admiration.

    " Zhenng!" Flower Princess stopped as she looked at Fairy Lingyun.

    " That was good. Now, It''s my turn." She smiled as she took out a flute. Fairy Lingyun''s eyes were like a pool of clear water as he puckered her lips to y the flute.

    " OH! I wish I was that flute!" A young man muttered.

    " Shhhh!" Everyone red at him as he was disturbing the silent atmosphere.

    The moment Fairy Lingyun began to y, the audience became stunned. It was like flowing water or cool breeze, making everyone calm. Yang Shi became thoughtful as he continued to smoke.

    " The music here is indeed otherworldly. Just a single instrument is enough to resonate with man''s heart." Yang Shi thought.

    Suddenly, mist gathered in the hall as it took shape of various animals as they danced around Fairy Lingyun.

    " Marvelous! Fairy Lingyun hasprehended the intent of the music. These phenomena are simply beautiful." Everyone apuded.

    " Zhennng!" At that moment, a zither tune suddenly came as the phenomena of Fairy Lingyun disappeared.

    " Aiya! Sister Hua is so cruel. You made our audience disturbed." Fairy Lingyuns sighed, but one could see anger in her tone.

    " Interesting. Flower Princess used one zither pull to cancel the phenomenon of Fairy Lingyun. Her attainment in music isn''t less than Fairy Lingyun." Yang Shimented.

    " Ah, Brother also understands music." Quite a number of people looked at Yang Shi after hisment.

    " Heh, Then let''s see who wins in the end." Fairy Lingyun snorted as her flute shone brightly, It gave off gentle white rays as the aura of Fairy Lingyun changed.

    The flute and the zither are no ordinary instruments. They were made from spirit woods of ancient trees. They are also Spirit grade artifacts. Fairy Lingyun used the might of her flute to the maximum as it again yed a different tune.

    The mist gathered as it turned into pink color. It congealed into humanoid forms.

    " It''s the Sigh of Heart Melody! Look, these maidens forming from the qi." The humanoid figures became outlined as they turned into beautiful women. They looked very enchanting as they began to dance around the audience.

    Everyone in the hall was in a trance as they felt their blood boiling.

    " Ah! Come here, beauty." Someone couldn''t resist as he grabbed that woman. " Ah! It''s so soft." He buried his face on her bosom as he muttered. More and more people began to fell for them as they couldn''t resist their lust.

    " Hehe, Charm skills? Naive!" Yang Shi''s eyes gleamed as he sat there calmly. He could easily see through the illusions, so he saw sittingposed. The dances of those illusory women became faster and more seductive. With the tune of Sigh of Heart Melody, most people were feeling aroused.

    " Sister Lingyun''s Sigh of Heart Melody is indeed outstanding. But unfortunately, It ends here." Flower Princess sighed lightly as she held her zither.

    *Zheng! Zheng! Zhhhenngggg!* Her fingers moved as she began to y her zither. Slowly, Her zither''s sound became clear and clearer. Like waves of the ocean, Her zither tune ovepped Fairy Lingyun''s flute melody.

    "PUFF PUFF PUFF'''' The illusory women became hazy as the zither tune hit them. The audience came back to their sense as they looked around with dazed eyes.

    The first guy, who hugged one illusory woman, wiped her saliva as his expression changed. He felt something sticky near his crotch as he became embarrassed.

    " Haha, Look, someone is a fast shooter. Brother, That''s just an illusory figure, and yet..." The people around him couldn''t help but mock him.

    ''Zhengg!" Flower Princess''s zither sound came again. Suddenly, Everyone could smell a refreshing fragrance.

    " Amazing! I feel every pore of my body opening." A cultivator praised.

    Then, everyone saw red colored petals began to rain in the hall. It was like a storm of flower petals, which gathered in one ce.

    *SCREECH!* Then, everyone became startled as they heard the screech of a bird. In front of them, a vermilion bird appeared, which condensed from the red flower petals.

    " Unbelievable! Flower Princess managed to summon a mythical beast phantom through her music!" Everyone cheered as they saw the vermillion bird hovering above them. It spread its wings and pped gently.

    Fairy Lingyun''s face turned dark as she stopped ying her flute. She coughed slightly as her face was pale. " Flower Princess, This time you win." She smiled forcefully as she turned to leave.

    " Ah! Fairy Lingyun, Please give your signature!"

    " Fairy Lingyun! I have brought Red Sandal Beads for you. Please ept my gift."

    " Fairy Lingyun, Please. I want to have tea with you."

    People shouted as they flocked around Fairy Lingyun. They gave her many valuable gifts as they only wish to spend a night with her. But unfortunately, Fairy Lingyun only took their gifts as she smiled.

    " I am very sorry. I am tired from today''s work and wish to rest. I hope you can forgive me." She said.

    " No, no! We understand. We hope Fairy can take some rest." All of them nodded but sighed in their heart.

    Of course, Fairy Lingyun can''t let them any closer to her as it might tarnish her business and image. For courtesans, virginity is a lot important. Unless they truly found their soulmates, they don''t engage with men casually.

    There are also people rushing to Flower Princess as they saw Fairy Lingyun is leaving. Yang Shi threw his cigarette as he sipped thest drop of the wine.

    " Flower Princess, Please wait!" Yang Shi shouted.

    " Hey, brat! Stop cutting in. Wait till your numberes." A rich young man was dissatisfied as he hissed at Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi didn''t mind him as he said again, " I am a friend of Miss Xia Rong."

    The Flower Princess was in a hurry as she didn''t like the crowd much, but hearing Yang Shi she halted as she looked at him.

    " My name is Yang Shi, a business partner of Lady Xia Rong." Yang Shi smiled at her.

    Flower Princess looked at Yang Shi as she thought something. Then she pped her hands,

    " Qiu Xi, Lead that Young noble to my abode."

    The entire hall became silent as everyone began to gaze at Yang Shi.

 Chapter 191: Lucky Yang Shi

    Chapter 191: Lucky Yang Shi

    " HOLY SHIT! Did Flower Princess just invited him into her room?" The crows fell in an uproar as they looked at Yang Shi.

    " Damn it! DAMN IT! WHY HIM?!!" A young man cursed as he pulled his hair. Yang Shi shrugged as he followed the maid of Flower Princess.

    " Miss rarely meets any outsider. Young Master is sure fortunate that she invited you." The maid chuckled lightly as she led Yang Shi.

    " Hehe, I am not really an outsider. Maybe, Your miss knows me?" Yang Shi smiled. The maid didn''t say anything but she snickered in her mind.

    Soon, they reached a room where the maid stopped. " Young Noble, This room." She bowed and opened the door.

    The room was decored with red sandalwood and other expensive woods. There were also many flower vases, with exquisite flowers. Yang Shi saw Flower Princess was sitting on a chair as she prepared tea.

    " Nothern Frost Flower. It''s a great herb for women, to nourish their blood and vitality. It''s It''s hundred years old, It can make an olddy return to her youth. If it''s a five hundred year old one, It can make one stay youthful for a thousand years." Yang Shimented as he looked at the flower.

    " Mr. Yang sure knows about medicinal herbs. But then, Since You have sold Sister Xia Rong the form of Yin Enchanting Pill, I am not surprised." Flower Princess chuckled as she looked at Yang Shi.

    " Well, well, Why don''t you remove your veil, so I can appreciate your beauty?" Yang Shi joked. " That will depend on your performance." Flower Princess snorted.

    " Well, I don''t know the name of Flower Princess yet." Yang Shi scratched his head. Flower Princess became silent as her shoulder shook.

    " Pftt~" Sheughed as he tried to cover her mouth. Although people call her the Flower Princess, Most young folks also know her real name. Yang Shi asking her real name was a very funny thing for her.

    " This humble girl''s name is Hua Yewan." Hua Yewan smiled. Yang Shi nodded as he picked the teacup.

    " Well, I just came here for fun with my brothers. But when I saw you, I couldn''t help but be curious." Yang Shi sipped tea as he said. After drinking wine and smoking, the tea tasted refreshing.

    " What is it? What made you curious?" Hua Yewan asked.

    " Hmm, maybe your wood type primordial spirit..." Yang Shi mumbled. Hearing Yang Shi, Hua Yewan''s face turned dark as she nced at Yang Shi.

    " I don''t know what are you talking about." Hua Yewan replied coldly. Her tone took an opposite turn as she talked to Yang Shi.

    " Aiiz, You are stillcking in controlling your emotions." Yang Shi sighed.

    Hua Yewan sat there silently as sheughed again. " True! True! I can''t really bepared with a notorious assassin. After all, They live in both light and shadow."

    This time, It''s Yang Shi''s turned to be shocked. But he quicklyposed himself. " Well, there is no beating around the bush. But tell me, How did you know it''s me?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Well, Not really that difficult. Who do you think wille here and speak one of my secrets on my face? Moreover, It''s only two days passed after that incident. I guessed you would still be within Azure Wind City." Hua Yewan chuckled.

    " That''s all? Hmm, You are truly intelligent." Yang Shi nodded. " Not only that. Since I am pursuing the path of music, I am also sensitive to people''s aura. Your aura is a bit familiar to me and there is still some killing intent on you. All of this summed up." Hua Yewan added.

    " But what about you? I don''t think you actually followed me?" She questioned. " Not really. It''s truly a coincidence. I can feel your primordial spirit with my special vision. Haha, To think the Flower Princess turned out to be a kindred spirit, who saves children and women?" Yang Shi smiled.

    " It''s a long story. I... I hate them. Who abduct little children. Forcing them to sell their body at such tender age, crushing their dreams." Hua Yewan''s tone became colder.

    Yang Shi didn''t interrupt her as he could feel Hua Yewan must have some kind of untold past.

    " What more, Those inhumane rtives and parents, who just sell their children for money. They don''t have the right to live."

    " Calm Down, Sister Hua. Anger isn''t suiting on your beautiful face." Yang Shi smiled. " It''s just." Hua Yewan took a deep breath as she calmed herself.

    " But anyway, Thank you for your help that night. I owe you a favor." She said.

    " Helping ady in distress is what I do." Yang Shi shrugged. " Indeed. Sister Xia also said such things to you. I heard you ughtered a small n for your woman." Hua Yewan chuckled.

    " That''s what she truly wished for." Yang Shi replied slowly as his face became affectionate. " I understand." Hua Yewan nodded.

    " Eh? You have an alchemy furnace?" Yang Shi asked in surprise as he looked at Hua Yewan.

    " Hehe, I do alchemy sometimes. Unfortunately, All I know is superficial knowledge. I don''t have any master to teach me alchemy." Hua Yewan sighed.

    " I don''t think someone will refuse to teach you?" Yang Shi raised his brow. " It''s not like that. I don''t like to mingle with people. And what''s more, I... There are other reasons I can''t tell you." Hua Yewanughed lightly.

    " How about I help you? I spent quite a lot of time in Golden Fire Tower and know quite a thing about alchemy." Yang Shi''s eyes gleamed.

    " Really?" Hua Yewan was ecstatic.

    " Well, I will be staying in Azure Wind City for now, so there will be many asions for us." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " For now, Let me give you something. Bring me a pen and paper." Yang Shi asked Hua Yewan. Hua Yewan nodded as she brought it to Yang Shi. As Yang Shi began to write something, Hua Yewan held her zither.

    "Zheng! Zheng!"

    Her fingers gently stroked the zither strings as she yed a light tune. Yang Shi''s muscles grew rxed as he focused on writing.

    With the melody of zither and scribblings sound of the quill pen, the atmosphere was perfect. It''s like harmony between two people, who had be one with the world.

    " Done. I thank Miss Hua for such a beautiful zither note." Yang Shiughed as he rolled the paper. " It''s all the benevolence of Sister Xia." Hua Yewan shook her head.

    " This is some general stuff about the properties of herbs and me control. I hope it can help you for now." Yang Shi passed it to Hua Yewan.

    " Hmm, I don''t think you are doing all these for free?" Hua Yewan thought as she looked at Yang Shi with smiling eyes.

    " Can''t a person show some magnanimity?" Yang Shi sighed. " I doubt." Hua Yewan replied immediately.

    "...." Yang Shi was speechless.

    " Why don''t you remove your veil. Consider this as the price for this scroll." Yang Shi chuckled. His skin was thick enough to demand such things.

    " Pfttt. You are so shameless." Hua Yewanughed. " But on one condition. You must carry the veil with you, in your hands." Hua Yewan added.

    " Strange condition. But I agree." Yang Shi truly wished to see the face of Hua Yewan. After all, seeing the three beauty princesses of Hundred Flower Pavilion is sure a thing to boast about.

 Chapter 192: Battle for Veil

    Chapter 192: Battle for Veil

    " Then, I hope you won''t regret it." Hua Yewan smiled as she took off her veil and passed it to Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi rooted to his spot as his eyes turned wide.

    Her face was like a bright moon, with cherry-like lips. Her eyes are beautiful enough to capture the souls of men. It was bewitching beauty, making Yang Shi''s blood boil.

    " Hmm, What happened?" Hua Yewan asked.

    " You are very beautiful." Yang Shi stuttered.

    " Oh really? How beautiful am I?" Hua Yewan puckered her lips as she held her chin.

    " Well, It''s enough to urge me to push you down." Yang Shi replied honestly.

    "..." Hua Yewan became speechless as she heard Yang Shi''s reply. She never thought Yang Shi would directly say such a thing.

    " I am a man of honesty. I truly meant by that. But well, My self-control is far better than others." Yang Shi added.

    " I don''t know if I should feel ttered." Hua Yewan smiled wryly. Although she knew that all of her male fans were dying to make her their woman, but Yang Shi saying things on her face amused her.

    " Anyway, My brothers must be waiting for me. I have to go now." Yang Shi got up. But before he leaves, He suddenly saw a sparkling thing in Hua Yewan''s room.

    " Is that Bright Moon Crystal?" Yang Shi asked in surprise. " Indeed. One of my suitors gave me that." Hua Yewan chuckled. " Can I take that? I will make you an artifact from it." Yang Shi thought something as he proposed.

    " Uhh, Sure." Hua Yewan nodded.

    " Thank you." Yang Shi nodded as he turned to leave. After Yang Shi let, Hua Yewan sighed as she began to read the scroll Yang Shi gave her. She was casually reading through it but then, she got shocked. The more she read, the amazed she became.

    " It''s...inconvincible! Such a simple statement hiding such profundities. This alchemical tome is just like the teaching of a Grand Master Alchemist. Could it be that...Yes, I must take this chance to help Elder Sister Xia." Hua Yewan''s face went through a myriad of emotions as she clenched her fist.

    ...............................................

    Yang Shi was happy to get the veil of Hua Yewan and the Bright Moon Crystal. The veil had the faint fragrance of her lips, but yes, Yang Shi isn''t a pervert to smell that. It was more like a trophy to him.

    But when he came outside, he was scared out of his wits. He saw a sea of people standing outside, looking at him like predators looking at their prey.

    " Is it him?" Someone whispered.

    " Yes." The person standing at the side nodded with a serious face.

    " Wait, What''s that in his hands?" Someone eximed. Suddenly, everyone looked at the hands of Yang Shi. Yang Shi could see their eyes shining with greedy light.

    " Is that what we are thinking? A young man muttered.

    " It looks the same. Goddamnit." Someone else cursed.

    " It''s really the veil ofdy Flower Princess. Fuck, Is he really someone that Flower Princess favors?" Another young man screamed.

    " Brother, Can you sell me that veil? I will give you 20,000 gold coins." A person offered Yang Shi.

    " Bah, Fuck off poor beggar. Brother, Here, I will give your 100,000 gold coins." A rich looking young man said.

    " 100,000!" The audience sucked a breath of cold air. But with the craze of Flower Princess among the youth, They aren''t much surprised.

    " 120,000."

    " 200,000"

    " 500,000!"

    Yang Shi''s ears perked up as he saw he bidding war. People aren''t hesitating to throw their wallets to get that veil of Hua Yewan.

    " This is not for sale." Yang Shi said helplessly, but people are in a heated bidding war, so they didn''t hear him. Yang Shi frowned as he shouted.

    " I said I am not selling this."

    He infused spiritual qi in his voice so his shout was like a roar of a tiger. It made the crowd silent.

    " Hey, What do you mean?! We are already giving you som much money." a person was dissatisfied.

    " Heh, Better to have a toast rather than drinking in a forfeit." A bidder sneered.

    " Oh really?" Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as he released his ughter qi.

    *BOOM*

    It was like a crimson tide enveloping the entire hall. The crowd froze in their ce as they sweated. For them, the hall turned into an icy pit.

    " Wh-what''s that?" The young man who argued with Yang Shi trembled.

    " One more word and I will send your soul to heaven. I am sure you will enjoy the angels there." Yang Shi snickered.

    " Oh lord! What a thick killing intent. Why it''s so oppressing?" Another person eximed.

    " Hmph!" Yang Shi snorted as he walked to the exit. He didn''t care as he pushed his way through the crowd. People couldn''t block Yang Shi as they already got scared by her ughter qi.

    " What''s with that killing intent? Just how much people he had killed to gain such a thick killing intent?"

    " Could it be that he is from an unorthodox sect?"

    People were discussing as they sighed. They couldn''t help but think about that veil.

    " Sigh, Only if I got that veil. I would have kissed it every night." A young man couldn''t help but be emotional.

    " Bah! Such perverts." A middle aged cultivator couldn''t help but snort in disdain.

    ........................................

    " Mm! What time is it?" Mo Yi stretched his body as he lied on the soft body of the two servant girls.

    " Wait, Is the show is already over?" Mo Yi got up as he hurriedly tried to find his clothes.

    " Mm, Young master, Please slow down. Unnfuu...." One servant mumbled as she rubbed herher region.

    On the bedsheets, one can see a mixture of white and red fluid. It was evident that these girls were virgins.

    " Kek, No one matches my prowess in bed. Tsk tsk, Jie Jie, When you will agree?" Mo Yi chuckled. He got up and put on his clothes.

    As he was rushing to leave, he saw Yang Shiing into the room.

    " Ahaha, Brother Yang, you are back." Mo Yi smiled.

    " Had enough massage?" Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Sure." Mo Yi stretched his arms as he nodded.

    " Well, The show is already finished." Yang Shiughed.

    " Damn! I missed such a good chance. But then, These girls were so poor and needy. Sigh, I couldn''t stop myself from helping them." Mo Yi sighed.

    Yang Shi''s face turned strange as he stopped himself from getting goosebumps. " Brother Mo''s skin is truly made from diamond." Yang Shi gave him a thumbs up.

    " Hehehe." Mo Yiughed shamelessly as he scratched his head.

    " See, What I got?" Yang Shi proudly showed him the veil of Hua Yewan.

    " Wait! Could it be that..." Mo Yu''s face became incredible.

    " Indeed. It''s Flower Princess''s veil." Yang Shi nodded.

    " Holy shit! Brother Yang is truly fierce. You actually got the veil of the most popr female musician in the younger generation?" Mo Yi shouted.

    " Hehe, could it be that she fell for you?" Mo Yi raised his brows.

    " Possibly. After all, only a few can resist my charm." Yang Shi flicked his hair.

    "....." This time, Mo Yi became speechless.

    " Well, I think we should go now." Yang Shi thought as he said.

    " Sure, We should return early. It''s already midnight." Mo Yi nodded.

    " Haha, Am Ite?" Suddenly, Liu Jiang''s opened his door as he walked out hurriedly.

    " Look, Who is out? I thought you would be unable to even walk." Mo Yi snorted.

    " Hahaha, I haven''te here for a while. That''s why I got indulged." Liu Jiangughed embarrassingly.

    " Young Master Liu, It seems I have to go now." Qi Jian also came out and bowed. " Yeh, Sister Jia should take rest." Liu Jiang nodded.

    " Shame on you, Liu Jiang. To think Qi Jia just walked away like that. It seems your weapon isn''t good enough." Mo Yi sighed.

    " Wh-what do you mean?" Liu Jiang was speechless.

    " Look here, You must dominate your girlpletely, okay? See those chicks there? They can''t even move their fingers as theypletely drowned in pleasure." Mo Yi said proudly.

    " ..Brother Mo, I don''t think you should teach stuff like that to your brother-inw?" Yang Shi coughed. " Why not? I don''t want a girl to disdain him on his back." Mo Yi snorted.

    " Why would she disdain?! Don''t just say anything. I am a healthy teenager with a good physique, ok?" Liu Jiang barked.

    " Really? Saying the one who just used Sublime Yang Elixir?" Yang Shi cast a side eye.

    " That! I..." Liu Jiang turned red as he stumped.

    " Pfft! What? Sublime Yang Elixir? AHAHAHAHAH. Brother Yang, Your invention is great." Mo Yiughed loudly as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " Hmph, It was created to energize people, Yet they using it as a viagra." Yang Shi shook his head.

    " What are you guys saying?" Liu Jiang became confused.

    " HAHAHA." Both Mo Yi and Yang Shiughed.

    ...............................................

    Yang Shi had a good time with the duo as he finally came back. Mo Yi asked him toe to the Mo n, but Yang Shi had some work to do, so he declined.

    " Don''t worry, I wille tomorrow." Yang Shi said.

    " Very well. My elder brother and grandfather really wish to meet you." Mo Yiughed as they parted.

    Yang Shi came back as he lighted up his forge.

    " Are you going to take some rest?" Jin Yu said in his mind.

    " No, I am fully invigorated now. Let''s finish the armor I was trying to make."

 Chapter 193: Preparing to Awake the Soul

    Chapter 193: Preparing to Awake the Soul

    Yang Shi was fully focused on his forging as he melted the ores. The mixture was like a rainbow dough as mes spiraled around it. Yang Shi took out the billet as he began to hammer it.

    *Let''s go with the thousand refinement technique." Yang Shi wiped his sweat as he used his entire physical power in hammering. He barely uses spiritual qi while forging as it was a good exercise for his body.

    " Hammer hundred times, and it will make a fine billet, hammer thousand times, and it will be noble among the billets." Yang Shi muttered. " Oh please, That line is cringe." Jin Yu chuckled.

    "..." Yang Shi didn''t reply as he continued his hammering. But this line had some truth in it.

    Yang Shi already failed once before, so this time, he was careful.

    " Hmm, Let''s add some more Silver Quicksand as a catalyst." Yang Shi thought. He didn''t want to fail a second time as it would just waste his precious materials.

    If any other cksmiths could hear his thoughts, they might rush here to beat him. " Brother, Craftmanship means learning from the mistakes, okay. You are already making weapons in one try and stillining?" They would definitely scream in their mind.

    " Now time for Spirit Diagram." Yang Shi''s face turned serious. " Hmm, I should make one with a better damage absorption rate." Yang Shi thought.

    A good armor must protect its master from all kinds of attacks. Yang Shi wanted to forge a good one, as he broke several armors of his enemy.

    " The crucial part of the armor is its Spirit diagram. Once the Spirit diagram is damaged, the armor is bound to be broken." Yang Shi chuckled. That''s why the spirit diagrams on armors are much different. It was more like a stack of diagrams, which protects the main diagrams.

    " Anyway, Let''s start carving." Yang Shi shook his head as he began to carve the spirit diagram. It is shaped like a turtle shell in a hexagonal pattern.

    " Northern Turtle Diagram, Come!" Yang Shi gave the final stroke as the hexagonal pattern glowed with light.

    " Sigh, Only if I can use my divine intent, I could have made rune diagrams, which as the improved version of spirit diagrams." Yang Shi sighed. The armor made rattling noise as it became silvery grey colored.

    " A high tier Middle grade armor. Hmm, It seems I need more refinement. It should have a High grade armor at least." Yang Shi sighed.

    " But it should be enough to satisfy Feng Xiao. Unless someone at Quasi Violet Pce Expansion realm uses a quasi True grade weapon, No other can destroy this armor. This can ensure the safety of Feng Xiao." Yang Shi mumbled.

    " Why are you so narcissist? Even I never saw cksmiths who can forge High grade weapons every time." Jin Yu sighed.

    " It''s because you haven''t seen the world. High grade weapon? Heh, It''s nothing but the starting point."

    " The Dao of supplementary paths is vast. With a wave of a hand, an alchemist can refine a supreme pill. With a single strike of the hammer, a chunk of mortal iron can turn into a divine weapon."

    Yang Shi suddenly became emotional as some unfamiliar memory shed in his mind. " Shit, I should refine all the memories of Samsara Emperor soon, else I might grow multiple personality disorder." Yang Shi sighed.

    But indeed, It was the memory of Samsara Emperor, which showed him some unknown figure.

    " Thousand Herb Princess, Who can use her palms as cauldron and mind as me. With a thought, she can refine heavenly pills."

    " Lord of Blood and Iron, Who used an entier star to refine a divine sword. That sword cut through the world like a knife cutting a melon."

    " Sky Painting Immortal, Who created a world with a stroke of his paintbrush."

    " Everything is possible if I have a strong dao heart. With a firm heart, no matter what storm or tribtion I face, I will be able to tread through it." Yang Shi murmured.

    " Only a peerless dao heart can walk till the end." Suddenly, Samsara Emperor spoke in his mind.

    " What is a dao heart actually? Yang Shi sighed.

    " Hahaha, It''s the most simple thing in the world, but also, the hardest thing to achieve. Everyone has their own understanding." Samsara Emperor let out a hollowugh.

    " Hmm, Even if I exin to you now, you won''t understand. It''s something that you can only feel after you gain experience. When you travel around the world, you will know. But all I can say, Dao Heart is just you, and you alone." Samsara Emperor chuckled.

    " Hmm, Why did youe here this time? Is there something you want to tell me?" Yang Shi asked.

    Samsara Emperor remained silent for a while and then he said, " You should prepare for charging into Wisdom Awakening Stage."

    " I understand, but aren''t there many better techniques in your disposals? For awakening the soul before Violet Pce Expansion Realm?" Yang Shi asked in confusion.

    " Well, there are countless techniques for the awakening soul before Violet Pce Expansion Realm, but I am more interested in the method of Origin Chaos Internal Energy Art of yours." Samsara Emperor chuckled.

    " I am not borating the reasons as you will understand in future. But I wish you finish the entire Body Remolding Stages of Origin Chaos Internal Energy Art." Samsara Emperor suggested.

    " But the alchemy talent here is too low. Where I can found a top tier Soul Pill?" Yang Shi vexed.

    " You don''t need that for Wisdom Awakening Stage. As far as I understand, You can easily make an elixir from Soul Nourishing Grass." Samsara Emperor said.

    " Elixir... Yes, I can try that thing." Yang Shi pped his thigh. Suddenly he remembered a thing called Mind Calming Incense stick from a book from Earth. It was a special type of incense stick, which was used for mind calming effects and hypnotization.

    " With high dose, I can enter in a tranquil state. With some acupuncture art, I think I can get into the Wisdom Awakening Stage." Yang Shi thought.

    ording to the Origin Chaos Internal Energy Art, The Wisdom Awakening Stage can''t be forced. It''s rted to one''s soul and mind. Only a person with great fortune, a better physique, and a mind can reach the Wisdom Awakening stage.

    But in this world, There are just countless methods to awake one''s soul. For example, there is a Soul Awakening Pill, which is an ancient rank five pill. Just eating that pill and cultivating can increase one''s chance of awake soul before Violet Pce Expansion Realm.

    Then there is Divine Spirit Refining Form, Which is a technique focused on the soul and divine sense. But as Samsara Emperor said, He needs to awake his soul from using Wisdom Awakening Stage.

    Yang Shi didn''t take rest as he took out the Soul Nourishing Grass.

    " Hmm, In the future, I should just nt the herbs after I get them. Putting them in a spatial ring for long just decreases their medicinal efficiency.

    " Yang Shi thought.

    He took Soul Nourishing grass and mixed it with some herbs. Then he used his Spirit Fire to extract the essence from them. It was turned into a green liquid as Yang Shi collected it.

    He put it in a vial as he took a piece of cloth. He rubbed it and made it into a wick and dipped it in the gree liquid. In this process, he made three vials of liquid.

    Then he ced it around him and sat cross-legged. Yang Shi lighted them up as he entered in a meditating state.

 Chapter 194: Things turning Wrong!

    Chapter 194: Things turning Wrong!

    A sweet aroma drifted in the room as Yang Shi''s mind became calm. He also prepared thirty six silver needles. He took off his clothes as he inserted needles in his acupoints.

    For the final acupoint, He inserted the needle on his forehead. He inhaled the aroma from the incense stick as he revolved his Internal Energy. His meridians pulsed as he focused all of his Internal Energy on his forehead.

    " Eight Lower Hall Acupoints, Open!

    " Eight Middle Pass Acupoints, Open!"

    " Eight Direction Acupoints, Open!"

    " Eight Trigram Acupoints, Open!"

    Yang Shi gathered his Internal Energy in those acupoints. It was pale golden in color as it condensed in thirty two points in his body.

    It was like thirty two small cyclones, which revolved constantly. His body was currently devoid of Spiritual qi. Only internal energy surged in his body.

    As time passed, the revolution of internal energy became stronger. From a mountain brook, It turned into a massive surging river.

    " Thirty Two bridge connects to Three pces.

    " Nether Hell Pce, Open!"

    " Mortal Realm Pce, Open!"

    " Celestial Heaven Pce, Open!"

    His internal energy roared as it lit up the Three pce acupoints. These acupoints were connecting three vertical points on the body- Dantian, Heart, and Mind.

    He controlled the internal energy as it rushed to his forehead.

    " Gate of Soul!" The Internal energy revolved in his forehead. It was like knocking open the door.

    Even with eyes closed, Yang Sho could see a thin crack of light. He made his internal energy like a hammer, knocking the crack.

    " First revolution, a second revolution, Third...Thirtieth...Sixtieth... Hundred and eighth time."

    His internal energy was like sea waves, crashing against an invisible wall. It was a continuous cycle, till he breaks that wall and releases the light behind it.

    " Damn it! Why is this taking so much time?" Yang Shi cursed in his heart, but he didn''t get discouraged. As long as he achieved his goals, time doesn''t matter.

    His internal energy refined after each sh as the crack of light became wider. The light was very gentle. Just looking at makes Yang Shifortable.

    " Damn it! Just break!" Yang Shi shouted as his internal energy condensed.

    *OMMMMMM*

    It was like ringing to ten thousand bells, as YangShi heard a sonorous sound. It was like the start of the universe, the sound of chaos. The crack got bigger and bigger as a bright light came out.

    It was like a ball of light hovering. Yang Shi could feel a mysterious connection between it and himself.

    " Ah! The light of the soul. I seed..."

    Yang Shi became happy, but suddenly, his expression changed greatly. The light suddenly flickered as suddenly as purple ray shed.

    It was mixed with ck threads as it attacked the soul of Yang Shi. It looked sinister as it formed into a dark colored talisman.

    Yang Shi suddenly felt a violent pain in his mind as he copsed.

    .............................................

    Samsara Emperor sat in meditating position as the atmosphere around him was still. His breathing seemed to resonate with a world. He sat there like a statue, being one with heaven and earth.

    Hong''er sat in a wooden rocking chair as she was weaving something. She didn''t hold any needle but she controlled golden threads of light with her fingers.

    But then, His eyes snapped opened as a resplendent light came out from it. His brows creased as he stood up.

    " Ahh! The tribtion of fate has arrived." Hong''er chuckled as she pped her hands. The threads intertwined as they made a scarf.

    " Those motherfuckers. They actually put a Soul Extinguishing Talisman in that brat''s soul. Even my divine sense couldn''t detect it." Samsara Emperor''s face turned dark.

    " Well, It''s not unexpected. So many years have passed. There is bound to be conflict within the n. Moreover, that brat''s fortune isn''t something that even heaven can tolerate." Hong''er said.

    " Fate, huh... FI never bowed before fate. Aren''t cultivation is about to defy fate? Since I am here, No one can touch him. Not even the heaven itself." Samsara Emperor smiled.

    " You aren''t thinking of doing that, are you?" Hong''er was startled. But then she sighed, " Aiiiz, How can I forgot how stubborn you are?"

    " Well, A small nap wouldn''t hurt anyone. It''s not like that I am doing this for the first time?"

    " But it may dy your matters." Hong''er teased.

    " Hmm, I am not worried about that. I don''tck time." Samsara Emperor looked at the sky as he mumbled.

    " Do as you wish. I am not stopping you." Hong''er shook her head as she resumed weaving the scarf.

    " Haah, To think the fate tribtion would be like this. But all of this will just add more fun to the game." Samsara Emperorughed.

    " Let''s see if it will be the birth of another Samsara Emperor or an unknown dragon would soar to nine heavens!"

    Samsara Emperor joined his palms as a golden st urred.

    ...............................................

    " Huh? Where am I?" Yang Shi opened his eyes as he looked around. But he realized that he couldn''t move.

    " Wait1 What the hell are these things?!" Yang Shi saw his body was bounded by purple colored chains, with ck lines squirming in it. He was surprised to find that he could see his body sitting in a meditative position.

    " Could it be...I am looking from my eyes of soul?" Yang Shi saw his body was very smallpared to his physical body and it was giving off a gentle light.

    But the purple chains were giving off a sinister vibe as it slowly devoured the light from Yang Shi''s body.

    " Whatever these things are, they are certainly damaging my soul. Damn it! I don''t even have any soul protection technique or treasures." Yang Shi cursed.

    If the chainspletely devoured his soul, it would be no other than death for him. Not even heaven can save him after that.

    " Samsara Emperor! Old Man,e and do something!" Yang Sji shouted.

    Suddenly, a golden stream of light erupted from his dantian as it flew directly to his forehead.

    Yang Shi saw a golden lighting at his soul as it formed aplicated rune on his forehead. The rune shone as the purple colored chains cracked bit by bit.

    " BOOM" The chains burst as Yang Shi felt unbearable pain. It was like someone crushed his brain.

    He felt the aura around his body diminished greatly as his body became more transparent. Although the purple chains vanishedpletely, Yang Shi felt his soul was almost verge of copse.

    " No, I can''t die here!" Yang Shi screamed in his mind as he tried to remain conscious. The rune on his forehead flickered and it gave a gentle golden light. It slowly stabled Yang Shi''s damaged soul as Yang Shi''s pain lessened.

    " Haah. This rune really saved me. Huh? Damn it1 Why''s it''s not healing my soul?!" Yang Shi''s expression changed.

    Although the golden rune stabilized Yang Shi''s soul, it couldn''t heal his soul to its prime. It was like Yang Shi''s soul was saved, but its strength was almost zero.

    " If my soul remains like this, reaching Violet Pce Expansion Realm would be hard as climbing to heaven." Yang Shi cursed.

    The purple chain destroyed arge part of his soul when it got destroyed. With less than half of his soul intact, Yang Shi''s road of cultivation would pretty much end here.

    As Yang Shi was in despair, something stuck in his mind.

    Chapter 195: Forgotten Memories

    " Damn it! There must be something that can help me. Yes! Soul Nourishing Pill! That can heal my soul. But eating too many Soul Nourishing pills won''t help me. I need a pill of at least the fifth rank to heal my soul."

    " But where I would get a pill of the fifth rank here? Unless I travel to Soaring Star Supreme Kingdom or some higher ce, It''s almost impossible."

    " Even if I start to practice some soul technique to recover my soul, it will take too much time, and my cultivation will halt."

    " But first, Let me connect my soul to my physical body." Yang Shi tried to reach his physical body but then, the rune on his forehead flickered brightly.

    " What now?!" Yang Shi was speechless.

    " Listen, Brat! I don''t have much time. Hah, I never thought that after using Heaven Sealing Divine Formation, someone would sneak a Soul Extinguish Talisman in your soul."

    " To think there are so many enemies hidden around you back then." Samsara Emperor sighed.

    " Wait, what! What are you talking about? Heaven Sealing Formation? Soul Extinguishing Talisman? Exin to me clearly!" Yang Shi raged. He never thought that there are so many secrets attached to this body.

    "Calm down. This isn''t time for idle talk. Since I helped you to ovee this tribtion of fate, I am affected by the heavenlyws. I need to rest a bit before I can talk to you again."

    " You going to slumber? When are you going to wake?" Yang Shi asked after remaining silent for a while.

    " That... I can''t say. Maybe a year, Ten years, or a century? Anyway, It''s like short nape for me. So don''t worry about that." Samsara Emperor chuckled.

    " So, therefore, It seems we need to part for now."

    Yang Shi turned silent as he heard Samsara Emperor. He felt a strange feeling in his heart. After all, all these times with Samsara Emperor, he felt a slight connection between them. But he felt sad as he heard that by helping him, Samsara Emperor had to enter in seclusion.

    " Haha, Don''t worry. Before I go, I prepared a small gift for you. Hmm, rather than saying gift, I would say it''s a double edged sword."

    " If you were able to survive, it will be the biggest boon for you. But if you don''t, Then it would just erase your consciousness, same as death." Samsara Emperorughed.

    The sadness of Yang Shi vanished instantly as he heard Samsara Emperor. " Wait-"

    " Now, Allow me to bestow you my journey of a lifetime."

    Before Yang Shi could say anything, he saw myriads of golden streams shot at him as his soul got pulled into a golden river.

    " ARRRGHHHHH!" Yang Shi screamed as he felt he was pulled along the river current. It felt the same when he came to this world from the Earth back then.

    He saw the golden river around him carefully. He could see countless images were shing in it, it was like a river of memories. Soon, the golden river epassed him as Yang Shi saw his surrounding changed.

    He felt moving through the space and time, witnessing the history of the universe. Ancient sages divided history into five parts. Immemorial Era, Ster Expansion Era, Heaven''s Dawn Era, Age of Chaos, and Grand Imperial Era.

    Currently, its Grand Imperial Era is going. After this era started, Samsara Emperor opened the gate of reincarnation, making changes in the heavenly daos. That era was filled with Heavenly Emperors and Celestial Beings. But even among them, Samsara Emperor stood proudly on the peak.

    Yang Shi slowly began to absorb the memories as he saw a different ce.

    ............................................

    It was an ancient kingdom with magnificent buildings and pces. In one of such luxurious courtyards, a young man was training with a sword.

    He had golden hair with eyes blue like blue colored mes. His sword was also exquisite, with sparks of mes appearing on it.

    " Spiralling Inferno sh!"

    That young man shouted as his sword shed with crimson re.

    *SWISH SWISH SWISH*

    The ground charred with deep cuts as mes cut through the air.

    " Haha! Finally, I can do four shes at the same time. Just a bit till I perfect the Spiralling Inferno sh!" That young manughed heartily.

    " Good! Young master Yan is truly a genius among his generation." A light voice said.

    " Uncle Han! Has father already returned?" That young man asked with ecstasy.

    " Haha! Brat, already missing this old man?" A middle-aged manughed loudly.

    " Father!" That young man sheathed his sword as he rushed to hug that man. " Aiiiz, Stop being like a girl." The man snorted lightly.

    " Hehe, I was just excited after hearing you came back. It''s already two months since you left." That young manughed.

    " Ahem, I think young master Yan has to say something." Butler Han coughed slightly. " Is it?" That man looked at his son with interest.

    " Cough, It''s nothing much. It''s just that... I went to Ominous Earth Ridge." The young man scratched his head.

    " Yan Jian, Oh Yan Jian. My son, Why are you obsessed with that ce? It''s too dangerous to go there." The middle aged man sighed.

    " Father, I just want to increase my strength. You know, There are just too many eyes in the n. Moreover, I always felt that Ominous Earth Ridge always has been benevolent towards me."

    " Like this time, I actually reached the advanced stage of Spialling Inferno sh and Free Wind Steps. Hah, I bet those buffoons of other ns can''t even take ten moves from me." Yan Jian snickered.

    " Lord Yan, I think young master has grown up already Why don''t we search a dao partner for him?" Butler Hanughed.

    " Hahaha, true, true! Only ady can restrain him now." Lord Yanughed.

    " Father, I am really not hurried to get married. I want to focus more on cultivation." Yan Jian was perplexed.

    " Those old men from the Situ n and Shi n already having grandsons, and you are not going to get a girl?" Lord Yanughed with anger.

    " Hmm, What''s so great about producing heirs? Can they reach the Seventh stage of Foundation Establishment at my age and also have knowledge in four arts?" Yan Jian mumbled.

    " Young master, since you are young, you shouldn''t always be focused on cultivation. You should go out to drink and enjoy yourself with beauties." Butler Han said.

    " Brother Yan, You should be tired. I have prepared some Nourishing Tea for you." A melodious voice startled everyone.

    A beautiful girl entered with tea. Her hair was like crimson wine, which fluttered slightly with the wind. Her figure was perfect, with her jade like skin, she looked like a goddess of seduction.

    " Hong''er? Why are you here?" Yan Jian was startled.

    " Hong''er?" Lord Yan looked at that girl with interest as he looked at Butler Han. " I think young master should exin that." Butler Han looked at Yan Jian.

    " I never thought that my son would hide women in our house. It seems the past two months are really eventful." Lord Yan chuckled.

    " Umm, It''s not what you are thinking." Yan Jian panicked.

    " My name is Hong Xifeng. I am... acquaintance of Brother Yan Jian." Hong Xifeng bowed.

    " So? What''s this?" Lord Yan looked at Yan Jian.

    " Well, I saved her in Ominous Earth Ridge. She had lost her memories. Since she didn''t have any ce to live, I invited her to stay here." Yan Jian said awkwardly.

    " Pfft! HAHAHAHA." Lord Yan couldn''t help butugh loudly. Even Butler Han and some other guards couldn''t help but smile. They were happy since their young master finally fancied a woman.

    " Why are you guysughing?! There is nothing between us." Yan Jian shouted helplessly.

    " Yeah, yeah. I understand. Miss Hong, I hope you like our hospitality. Guo Han,e. Let''s give these youngsters some space." Lord Yanughed as all of them left.

    " Um, I hope you didn''t mind him." Yan Jian scratched his head.

    " Nope, I really didn''t." Hong Xifeng smiled brightly.

    " Has your injuries healed?" Yan Jian asked. Hearing that, Hon Xifeng''s expression turned stiff.

    " I am good now. I really thank you for the Life Vitaliy Pill." Hong Xifeng said.

    Yan Jian looked the beauty in front of him as he sighed.

    It all happened a week ago when he went to venture to the Ominous Earth Ridge. Yan Jian wasn''t a genius from birth, but with a fateful encounter, he found a treasure in Ominous Earth Ridge when he was a child.

    That''s why he often ventures to Ominous Earth Ridge as that ce still contained another secret. But when he went there this time, he found Hong Xifen lying there without consciousness.

    She had suffered some injuries as two demonic beasts were preying on her. Yan Jian easily killed them as he saved Hong Xifeng.

    What was even more surprising, other than her name and few things, she had lost all of her memories. Yan Jian brought her back to his manor.

    " So, What is your n for the future?" Yan Jian asked.

    " What? Are you trying to drive me out?" Hong Xifeng teased.

    " Hah, Why would I do that?" Yan Jian rubbed his nose. " You might think I am being shameless, but, I like living here." Hong Xifeng said with a lowly voice.

    " Huh?" Yan Jian was dumbfounded as he heard Hong Xifeng.

    " I- I didn''t mean that!" Hong Xifeng blushed as she ran away with embarassement.

    Yan Jian chuckled as his heart filled with warmth. Whenever he was with Hong Xifeng, he felt a strange kind of joy.

    " Is this what people say, Love at first sight?"

    He sighed as he caressed the pendant he was wearing. It was a white pearl of the size of a thumb. It gave off a gentle white light as Yang Shi touched it.

    Hong Xifeng returned to her room as her blushing face disappeared instantly.

    " Damn it! Just when I am going to recover my power? I don''t want to stay at this shitty ce. I hope those bastards don''t find me soon."

    She sighed, but thinking of the behavior of Yan Jian, she rxed a little.

    " Hmm, but the Ominous Earth Ridge is interesting. Never mind, I should stay here and calm my mind for a while." Hong Xifeng sat on her bed as she started to cultivate.

 Chapter 196: Journey of Endless Years

    Chapter 196: Journey of Endless Years

    Yan Jian sat in a meditative position as he circted his qi. The pearl on his neck glowed as faint streams of light entered his body as he absorbed qi from outside.

    In Zhao nation, there are five great families along with the royal family. Each n''s strength isn''t much inferior to sects from outside. Yan n is the second most powerful n of the Zhao nation.

    Yan Jian''s mother died from illness when Yan Jian was three months old. Lord Yan loved his wife very much, so he never remarried.

    When Yan Jian was a child, he and his father went to the Ominous Earth Ridge to hunt. identally, they encountered a powerful ancient beast. They got separated when Yan Jian fell from a cliff.

    As heaven favored him, he found a cave beneath the cliff. There, he saw a broken sword handle besides a skeleton. The skeleton sat in a meditative position, but the strangest thing is, its bones were glowing like crystals.

    There was nothing besides the broken sword handle other than a pendant on the neck of that skeleton. The sword handle was pitch ck in color, while the pendant was like a milky white pearl.

    Yan Jian was injured from the fall, but when his blood came in contact with the pearl, he felt a warm current healed all of his wounds. What''s more, he felt his soul awakened as he gained the ability of divine sense earlier.

    With the increase in soul energy, Yan Jian''sprehension also grew. The technique people take months just to understand the beginnings, Yan Jian can do it in few days. He felt his understanding of the battle techniques increased greatly.

    What''s more, after wearing the pendant, his cultivation speed also increased twofold. He can practice the Yang attribute techniques with more efficiency.

    But the ck broken sword handle looked ordinarypared to it. Yan Jian always thought that there is a mysterious thing about that handle, but somehow, he never grasped it.

    " Hmm, Nobody knows that there is a small spirit spring in that cave. Practicing there for a day is the same as practicing a week outside. Too bad, I can''t go there frequently as it might raise suspicion." Yan Jian rubbed his chin.

    Cultivation was divided into many stages. Each stage was divided into multipleyers. Firstes the Qi gathering stage. It has thirteenyers. After that, stages were divided into nineyers.

    After thates Foundation Establishment Stage, where one can use divine sense and awake the soul.

    Thenes the Core condensation stage and the Astral Transformation stage. The King of Zhao was at the pinnacle of the Core formation stage while Lord Yan was at the peak thirdyer of the Core condensation stage

    The Astral Transformation stage was the next realm. Yan Jian heard that there are a bunch of them in the central continent.

    Currently, Yan Jian was at the seventhyer of the Foundation Establishment stage. His cultivation speed was something that even the older generation envied.

    As he was remembering these matters, someone knocked on his door.

    " Brother Yan, Can Ie in?" Hong Xifeng asked.

    " Yes." Yan Jian replied.

    Hong Xifeng entered the room as she stood in front of Yan Jian.

    " B-brother Yan, You aren''t...angry at me, right?" Hong Xifeng asked.

    " No, Why would I?" Yan Jian chuckled.

    " That''s good. Brother Yan, I never visited Zhao Country. Can you take me outside?" Hong Xifeng asked.

    " Hmm, Let''s go out this afternoon. I know a good ce to see the sunset." Yan Jian smiled.

    " Brother Yan is really good to me." Hong Xifeng hugged the arm of Yan Jian.

    " Xifeng..." Yan Jian''s heart pounded Hong Xifeng''s body came closer to his.

    " Ehe, Brother Yan looks so cute when you are shy." Hong Xifengughed. " Meh, You aren''t allowed to tease me." Yan Jian scoffed. But he could still feel butterflies in his stomach.

    " Brother Yan, where did you get this pendant? It looks so beautiful." Hong Xifeng eximed.

    " This?" Yan Jian was startled. " I found it in Ominous Earth Ridge. I feel it can increase my luck, that''s why I always wear it." Yan Jian smiled.

    " Is that a Soul Pearl? Strange, How there can be a Soul Pearl here?" Hong Xifeng thought inwardly. Powerful cultivators above Astral Transformation Realm can create Soul Pearls from their soul force.

    It can increase the divine sense of lower realm cultivators. What''s more, most Soul Pearls contain the inheritance of their creators. So it''s a precious treasure.

    Actually, The pearl was Yan Jian''s biggest secret. So he won''t tell that even to Hong Xifeng.

    Even she is extremely beautiful, Yan Jian always had suspicion in his heart. Her identity, her past, and how she ended up in Ominous Earth Ridge are still unclear.

    But when he saw that Hong Xifeng had no cultivation, he didn''t mind it much.

    " Either she had lost all of her cultivation or expert at hiding it. But I don''t think that even Father can be mistaken."

    " Brother Yan, is that zither is yours?" Hong Xifeng asked curiously.

    " Yeh, I y it sometime." Yan Jian nodded as he looked at the zither, which was at the corner of his room.

    " Can you y a tune for me?" Hong Xifeng asked suddenly.

    " Now?" Yan Jian was startled. " Yes. y something...hmm, Yes, Something heartwarming." Hong Xifeng said.

    " Come with me." Yan Jian invited Hong Xifeng to his open courtyard. It was a beautifully made courtyard, with many kinds of trees giving their shade. There is also a small pond, with various fishes and turtles in it. With the cool breeze, the surrounding was serene.

    " Well, Let me think of something." Yan Jian held the zither as he took a few deep breaths. After that, his fingers glided on the zither string. A mellow tune drifted out from it.

    Yan Jian closed his eyes as he yed the zither. All other sounds seemed to be stopped as only the sound of zither remained.

    Hong Xifeng sat on a chair and closed her eyes. She seemed to be mesmerized by the tune. They didn''t felt the passage of time as the sun reached the horizon.

    Yan Jian''s fingers stopped as she slowly opened his eyes.

    " What is the name of this tune?" Hong Xifeng asked. Her eyes were still closed.

    " I found it from the Royal Library of Zhao country. It''s called, " Remembering the Last Spring." Yan Jian sighed.

    " It''s really a hard tune to y. It took me two months to be able to y this tune. Nheless, this tune is truly mesmerizing. Every time I y this tune, I couldn''t help but remember some sweet memories." Yan Jian smiled.

    " Truly. *Remembering the Last Spring* lives up to its name. The Last spring, eh..." Hong Xifeng mumbled.

    Hong Xifeng''s background wasn''t ordinary. She hailed from a sect where cultivators of Astral Transformation Realm were abundant.

    She herself was a powerful cultivator. But as fate wished, she saw the destruction of what she loved once. While fleeing from her enemies, she even lost all of her cultivation.

    For current her, this tune is akin to something that triggered her memories. " Why? Why must I fight back? I did what I could have. What more?" Her mind shouted.

    " No! I won''t give up! As long as I, thest empress of Void Heaven Holy Land is alive, nothing can stop me to achieve my aim." Hong Xifeng swore in her heart as she looked at Yan Jian.

    " Mm, Sun is about to set. Shall we go out now?" Yan Jian looked at the sky as he said.

    " Sure." Hong Xifeng smiled. But in her smile, a hint of craftiness remained hidden.

    ..........................................

    Yang Shi saw these memories shing by. He clutched his head in pain as it all assimted in his mind. But what he saw next, he couldn''t take it.

    The love story of a rich young master and a mysterious girl turned into something unexpected. Their life passed through unnatural situations, life and death trials, greatest betrayal, and endless love.

    " Xifeng...Xifeng! No! NOO! You can''t do this to me! No!!" Yang Shi screamed.

    " HONG XIFENG! I SWEAR I WILL FIND YOU AND MAKE YOU PAY FOR THIS!" Yan Jian''s screams resonated in Yang Shi''s mind.

    " ARGHHH!" Yang Shi rolled as his pain increased. He couldn''t understand what''s happening. He couldn''t even remember if he was Yang Shi or Yan Jian. His mind was in a mess as he could do nothing.

    He saw the journey of Yan Jian. From a small kingdom to the Celestial realms and Hellishnds.

    Even after losing everything, he walked. Like a phoenix rising from its ashes. He walked as he never stopped.

    For him, time became only like passing wind. Days, Months, Years, Centuries, Star born and copsed. The world was created and destroyed. Civilization was made and wiped out. He saw everything.

    He was like an undying being, watching the universe from the sideline. He mastered every trade, every path, every technique, and dao, only reach his goal.

    That''s how noble Yan Jian became the supreme Samsara Emperor.

    As for his story, that is a matter of another day.

    ...............................................

    Yang Shi''s mind went nk as he finally absorbed Samsara Emperor''s journey of endless years.

    " Wh-Who am I? Yan Jian? Ah yes, I must be Yan Jian." Yang Shi mumbled.

    " Yang Shi! YANG SHI!!" Someone shouted.

    " Huh? Who is Yang-- Arghh!" Yang Shi''s face twisted as he recalled.

    " Yes, I am Yang Shi! I am Yang Shia and NOT Y AN JIAN!" He screamed.

    He began to remember everything. His life on Earth, Old man Tang, Mei Xian, Young master Song, and his death.

    " Yes, I remember. But who called me?" Yang Shi was surprised.

    " It''s me. Ar-Are you alright?!" Jin Yu asked worriedly. Yang Shi understood that Jin Yu was talking to him with her divine sense.

    Since she was connected to Yang Shi''s soul, she was able to sense the disturbance in it. She was an Ancient Beast, so she was able to use her divine sense to wake Yang Shi from madness.

    " Thank You. If not for you, I might have turned into someone else." Yang Shi smiled bitterly.

    But when he looked at his soul, he was surprised greatly.

 Chapter 197: One Step Toward Invincibility (1)

    Chapter 197: One Step Toward Invincibility (1)

    Yang Shi felt he was lucky as he heard the divine sense of Jin Yu. If she didn''te in time, Yang Shi''s memories probably have wiped by the overbearing memories of the Samsara Emperor.

    " Goddamn, You motherfucker Yan Jian! I swear I will kill you if I ever saw you!" Yang Shi screamed. But unfortunately, there was no reply.

    " Huh? What happened to your soul?" Jin Yu asked in surprise?

    " Huh?" Yang Shi didn''t notice anything till Jin Yu said to him. He looked below and realized that his pain has vanished. It was like nothing happened a minute ago.

    " What more, My soul feels heavy, though it has shrunk in size. It was like... My soul strength has increased in quality but not in quantity."

    Yang Shi mumbled. He could feel that his soul has be more corporeal.

    " Hmm, for now, breaking through the Violet Pce Expansion Realm wouldn''t be an issue. But I should start cultivating a Soul technique soon." Yang Shi decided.

    After assimting the memories of the Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi''s knowledge increased endlessly.

    " Hah, To think he was living since the Ster Expansion Era." Yang Shi sighed. " No wonder his memories were this vast."

    " Let me return to my body first." Yang Shi closed his eyes as his soul drifted toward his physical body.

    He felt that he was regaining control over his physical body as his body trembled. Yang Shi opened his eyes as a resplendent light came out from it.

    Yang Shi''s face turned astonished as he left that his Internal energy began to revolve by itself.

    *BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM*

    The Internal energy rolled like a raging river as it condensed in thirty points in Yang Shi''s body. It was like thirty-five pools filled with Internal energy, which connected to his dantian.

    *SWISH SWISH SWISH*

    The silver needles on Yang Shi''s body shot out like arrows. They got repelled by his overbearing Internal energy.

    Yang Shi saw that his Internal energy became pure gold in color from pale gold color. What''s more, a faint smoke of purple could be seen over it.

    " This- IMPOSSIBLE." Yang Shii''s expression finally changed. He realized why Samsara Emperor was giving so much importance over his Internal energy.

    "PFFT! HAHAHAHA. To think Internal energy is nothing but Primordial Chaos qi. Hahaha, Origin Chaos Internal Energy Art, Primordial Chaos Qi. Good!" Yang Shi roared withughter.

    In the beginning, there was nothing. No heavenly daos nor earthly ce. The first form of energy was called Chaos qi. There was absolutely nothing in this qi, but it also had everything that could create the creation.

    After heaven and earth were created, universalws came into existence. After the heavenly daos were formed, everything came into its control.

    Chaos qi became contaminated by heavenly daos as Chaos qi created myriads of things. But this process was irreversible, and Chao qi became scarce.

    Yang Shi was thrilled to see the Chaos qi in his body. It seems that afterpleting the Wisdom Awakening stage, his Internal energy turned into Chaos qi.

    " No wonder. When reaching my first cultivation stage, I didn''t use Spiritual qi, but Chaos qi. It changed my body constitution. That''s why I was able to adapt the Nine Saint Extreme Yang Skeleton and Immemorial Evil Yin Vein."

    Yang Shi sighed as he thought about it. His body, His primordial spirit, everything was a heavenly treasure. But till now, he didn''t even utilize one percent of his power.

    " No wonder Samsara Emperor said that I am a poor beggar who was sitting on the mountain of gold."

    " Are you ok? Why are youughing like this?" Jin Yu came out of her golden egg as she looked at Yang Shi.

    " Haha, I am fine. It''s just that something good happened." Yang Shi chuckled. His mind was working rapidly as he was making ns for his future cultivation.

    Getting Samsara Emperor''s memory, It was like a vast new world opened for him. He felt that he was an Lv 1 yer who suddenly got loots of Lv 100 yer. Now, all he had to do is to adjust these new treasures.

    " Haha, I think I can just charge to the Violet Pce Expansion Realm in one go." Yang Shiughed inwardly.

    " Hah, I will finally be able to use the innate ability of Crimson Lily for the first time." Yang Shi closed his eyes as he summoned his Crimson Lily primordial spirit.

    A faint crimson ring appeared on his back as it revolved. Yang Shi smiled as he channeled his Chaos qi in it.

    " Sure, Chaos qi and Spiritual qi can''t be merged. But since Chao qi is the origin of Spiritual qi, I can use it in a different way."

    Sure. Chaos qi is the energy of the highest ss, but because its also the earliest energy of existence, It doesn''t follow heavenly daos or universalw.

    That''s why even having an endless amount of Chao qi, one can''t advance a single stage in cultivation. But its value is priceless nheless.

    It can be a great assistance to anything in existence. It''s like a godly support but not attack or defense type.

    The crimson ring of light was ovepped with Chaos qi as it was filled with golden and purple lights.

    " The ability of Crimson ring- Devour!" Yang Shimanded in his mind as the ring behind him began to spin crazily.

    *BOOM*

    The air trembled as the Spiritual qi got devoured by the crimson ring. It was like a waterfall of Spiritual qi poured into the crimson ring.

    " Chao qi can be used for refinement. Using it as a catalyst, I can purify Spiritual qi. What''s more, I can disintegrate Spiritual qi into elemental qi." Yang Shiughed

    Although there are countless treasures that can do the same thing, this is only one of many usages of Chaos Qi.

    Spiritual qi is the most abundant energy avable under the heaven. Just like air is a mixture of hydrogen and oxygen, Spiritual qi is the mixture of all kinds of elemental qi.

    The proportion of elements may be different, but using the devouring force of the Crimson ring and refinement of Chaos qi, Yang Shi can get pure desirable amount of elemental qi.

    But for now, Yang Shi only focused on getting pure Spiritual qi. He even took out his spirit stone and sucked the spiritual qi from it.

    The formless Spiritual qi poured into the Crimson ring behind him. But after it got refined by his Chaos qi, it got thinned as only pure Spiritual qi condensed. It came rolling into his dantian as Yang Shi began to channel it.

    *BOOM* with a swift sound, he finally reached the Seventh stage of Primordial Spirit Realm. But his cultivation didn''t stop rising.

 Chapter 198: One Step Toward Invincibility (2)

    Chapter 198: One Step Toward Invincibility (2)

    The gaseous Spiritual qi condensed to liquid form as it gathered in Yang Shi''s dantian. The Spiritual qi surrounding the Longevity Hall was drawn to his room. He was like a vacuum, devouring the Spiritual qi around him.

    The Elders of Longevity Hall got rmed as they looked above.

    " Eh? Who is sucking the Spiritual qi at this rate?" An elder mumbled.

    " Do you think someone is going to break through to Violet Pce Expansion Realm?" Another Elder asked.

    " Quick! Check it. Who is behind this?"

    Yang Shi wasn''t aware of this as he greedily absorbed spiritual qi. In another hour, He broke through to the Eighth stage. Then Ninth stage. Yang Shi''s cultivation rose rapidly.

    His soul was already awakened, so reaching the Violet Pce Realm has be far easy for him.

    " All I need to do, To create the Pce tform. After condensing the Spiritual qi, one can build a tform in their dantian. It''s the foundation of Violet Pce." Yang Shi mumbled.

    " But wait, How did I forget about that?" Yang Shi''s expression changed as he sighed. The Spiritual qi already swirling in his dantian as they slowly bing solid.

    The Spiritual qi condensed at a single point in dantian as it exploded. It was as if a roaring sea is getting frozen as the Spiritual qi solidified. It made something like a tform in Yang Shi''s dantian.

    It was the Pce Foundation of Violet Pce Expansion Realm. To reach Violet Pce Expansion Realm, One needs to pass through two major stages.

    First, Awakening the soul, and second, building the Pce Foundation.

    Since Yang Shi already awakened his soul, all he needs to do is to build Pce Foundation. Most people couldn''t even awake their souls, and even if they do, they can''t build Pce Foundation.

    Building Pce Foundation was a risky thing as if it breaks once, one''s cultivation would plummet. And after a broken Pce Foundation, it would be harder to make another Pce Foundation.

    So failing once, the probability of reaching Violet Pce Expansion realm lowers even more. But yes, there are solutions for everything, just they are expensive.

    Yang Shi''s Pce Foundation was building slowly, but then it stopped abruptly.

    *CRACK*

    The foundation cracked as it spread like a spiderweb. The foundation crackled as it emitted smoke.

    *BOOM* Suddenly, all the condensed spiritual qi erupted as the foundation exploded.

    Yang Shi''c body shook violently as he coughed a mouthful of blood. He hurriedly channeled his Gold Devil Seal as metal qi protected his inner organs from impact.

    " Hah, The more divine this body is getting, the more ws are opening." Yang Shi wasn''t surprised as he failed to build his Pce Foundation.

    " Goddamn, Just who was this Long Xian? Why he has so many booby traps in his body." Yang Shi sighed.

    His cultivation has dropped to the early Seventh stage. But he didn''t mind it. What''s the good news, out of his five seals of Primordial Fiend Body Refining Art, other than Gold Devil Seal, all seal''s firstyer was filled.

    It was because since he refined so much Spiritual qi with his Chaos qi, the seal absorbed enough Elemental qi from the atmosphere to get filled. But since Gold Devil Seal was already in the embryonic stage, it didn''t show many changes.

    " I guess, That''s enough for today." Yang Sh chuckled as he wiped the blood from his mouth. Since it''s still not morning yet, Yang Shi went to sleep.

    " Jin Yu, I think you should rest too. We have lots of things to do afterward." Yang Shi sighed.

    " You are acting weird now. Didn''t your Pce Foundation just got destroyed? Why are you so calm now?" Jin Yu was surprised.

    " Because I already knew." Yang Shiughed. One could see utmost confidence in his eyes.

    Jin Yu shrugged as she went back to her golden egg. Yang Shi fell on the bed as he slept.

    In his dream, he saw an unknown scene. A happy couple. Their small child. Then it went blurry as the father walked with his child to a cliff.

    The child muttered," Strange. Yesterday, uncle did something to me and now I feel weak. I can''t sense Spiritual qi."

    " Father, Am I a bad child?" The child asked.

    " No, It''s just... Fate. And, I am powerless." The man looked at the sky.

    The wind was howling on the cliff as the father and child stood. The face of the father was solemn, but his eyes were determined.

    He held the child as he raised him by his arms.

    " Look, Little Xian. Those who can''t go against fate are weak, no matter how powerful they think they are."

    " Only If I was a normal father. Only if you..." The man sighed.

    " Prosperity requires sacrifice, Hah, to think I thought I could change it. Listen Long Xian. If you ever reincarnated. Don''t evere here."

    " You have no ce here." The man loosed his hands as the child fell. Bottom of the cliff was an unending dark abyss.

    ............................................

    *GASP*

    Yang Shi sprang up as he was gasping for air. He could feel the cold sweat over his forehead. It was as if it''s not a dream, but a past memory.

    " This dream...It''s again." Yang Shi clutched his head as he tried to remember.

    " No, Its not Samsara Emperor. It''s...Long Xian..." Yang Shi calmed his mind as he thought.

    " Pfftt. Hahaha, What a father! What parents!" Yang Shiughed with extreme anger. Both his life and Long Xian''s life were simr in this regard.

    " Hah, even after putting Soul Extinguishing Talisman and destroying Foundation roots, they even tried to kill him!" Yang Shi scoffed.

    Every creature has foundation roots. This was located in dantian and this is the mainponent to build Pce Foundation.

    But somehow, the foundation roots of Yang Shi were destroyed beforehand. That''s why he couldn''t build his Pce Foundation.

    " Don''t worry, Long Xian. One day, I will go to the roots of your problem and avenge." Yang Shi thought in his heart.

    " So what if even the heavens are jealous of my fortune? So what if someone wanted to kill me since my birth? As long as I wish Nothing can stop me from being invincible." Yang Shi swore in his heart. He didn''t fear the future nor worried about his past. After living life as Yang Shi and Yan Jian, he felt power isn''t something that is achieved with sheer cultivation but will and hard work.

    " Hmm, It''s already mid day?! Damn." Yang Shi hurriedly got up as he took bath and got dressed. Just as he opened the door, He saw Liu Jiang was standing there.

    " Eh? Brother Yang, I was just about to knock on the door." Liu Jiang was startled.

    " Eh? Why are you here?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Did you forgot? I came here to be an Adept Alchemist. I just gave the test." Liu Jiangughed.

    " Ah, you did? What was the result." Yang Shi asked curiously.

    " HAHAHA, IT WAS SHOCKING." Liu Jiang roared withughter.

    " I concocted one high tier and three middle tiers Floating Cloud Pills in one go. The elders became so much surprised that they praised me and offered me a disciple position in Longevity Hall." Liu Jiang proudly said.

    " Brother Yang, They also praised the cauldron you have made. They said both the materials and the craftsmanship were excellent."

    " Hehe, some people even asking me who made it. I proudly told them your name." Liu Jiangughed.

    " Haha, Now, still thinking that my offer was expensive?" Yang Shi chuckled.

    " No, not at all." Liu Jiang hurriedly said.

    " That''s good then. Let''s go to Mo n. I want to visit them today." Yang Shi said.

    " Sure. In fact, I was thinking the same." Liu Jiang nodded.

    " Ruxue, Seems I have made you wait far too much." Yang Shi sighed.

    " I hope you like this gift."

 Chapter 199: Meeting Ruxue

    Chapter 199: Meeting Ruxue

    " Brother Yang, what are your ns now? I don''t think it will be long before you will be famous." Liu Jiang said.

    " cksmithing, eh? It''s just a side job for me." Yang Shi shrugged.

    " Heh, I wish I could see the face of Xu xx now, And that Master Zhuo. That bastard, he dared to give me cauldrons with bad quality." Liu Jiang scoffed.

    " Hah, don''t worry, You will see them in the future." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Hmm, I wanted to meet big brother Xiaowen. He came back to Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom after two years." Liu Jiang thought as he said.

    " Mo Xiaowen? Elder Brother of Mo Yi?" Yang Shi asked curiously. " Is he that famous?"

    " Hah, It seems brother Yang doesn''t know about him. Mo Xiaowen is the genius of his generation. Only eldest scions of great ns and Royal princes can bepared with him."

    " He left theWestern Provinces back then to wander in the vastnds. Then he got epted as the inner disciple of Thousand Sword Pavilion."

    Western Province was a part of the continent''s Southsea Domain, where the Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom is located.

    This province was filled with many big and small kingdoms. Itsbined strength and wealth aren''t that far from the Central state of Southsea Domain.

    But then, each region has its own merits and demerits. That''s why most people wish to go to Central state. It has the ground of the most powerful sects of Southsea Domain. And Thousand Sword Sect was one of them.

    But other provinces like Southern provinces are filled with secret realms and forbidden grounds. These are filled with countless treasures and fortunes.

    But Central state was cleaned off and don''t have these. So, there is always a flow of cultivatorsing here and there.

    " He reached Violet Pce Expansion Realm before the age of twenty three. After staying in Thousand Sword Sect, I heard that he hadprehended sword intent!" Liu Jiang sighed in admiration.

    " Sword Intent, eh?" Yang Shi thought. He has already achieved the state of sword light from his Moonlight sh. But reaching sword intent, he wasn''t there yet.

    And his Heaven Cmity saber has been dormant for many days. He couldn''t use Mountain Cut move withoutprehending Saber Intent first.

    What is the intent? It''s like using the elements of their own, not by any other energy. For example, one can use a random Yellow grade technique and use the Water element technique while using spiritual qi.

    But those who haveprehended the Intent of Water can condense water without using spiritual qi as a medium and control it with their will. Just like elements, Weapons have their own intents.

    Using spiritual qi to a minimum, their battle power grows many times. Intents aren''t fixed paths. It''s something that each cultivator realizes their own and uses in their own way.

    " It seems I need to improve my Sword Art of Ster Night and Heaven Saber Seven Arts. Hmm, A worthy battle can surely help me." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Brother Yang, why are you smiling?" Liu Jiang asked.

    " Nothing. I just wanted to mee Mo Yu''s elder brother." Yang Shi said.

    " You will definitely meet him." Liu Jiang nodded.

    Soon they reached the gate of the Mo n. As one of the four great ns of Azure Wind Ancient Kingdom, Their n estate was vast. It was grander than their branch in Firmament City.

    " Eh, Isn''t this Young master Liu? Such a pleasant surprise." The guards recognized Liu Jiang immediately.

    " Yeh, We are here to meet Brother Mo Yi." Liu Jiang nodded.

    " He is?" They looked at Yang Shi as they asked. " Don''t worry, he is the friend of Brother Mo." Liu Jiang waved his hands as he entered the estate.

    They reached the main courtyard, where dozens of Mo n disciples were training. Some of them were meditating, some dueling with each other.

    Most of them already reached the peak of the Spiritual Ascension Realm. They are groomed by the best resources of the Mo n. But then, most of them won''t get treatment like the scions of the main bloodline, like Mo Yi and Mo Xiaowen.

    " Eh, Brother Xiang, you have broken through to the Seventh stage of Primordial Spirit realm? Wow, You are not far from Elder brother Mo Yi." Someone shouted as Yang Shi looked at there.

    " Haha, I bet Miss Brother Xiang will be able to woo Miss Ruxue."

    " But Miss Ruxue is also a genius. In just a week, she reached the Sixth stage of the Primordial Spirit realm."

    " Sssh, She is the guest of Young master Mo Yi. What is she hears?" A Mo n disciple whispered.

    " Hah, So what? I don''t think she will be able to reject Brother Xiang anyways." The young man from earlier scoffed.

    " Enough, Mo Cheng." Mo Xiang shook his head.

    " Ah! Look! Miss Bai Ruxue is out." Someone shouted as they looked there.

    Bai Ruxue came out with her graceful bearings. With the light yellow dress, she looked like a goddess walking in the mundane realm.

    " So beautiful." Someone murmured.

    Mo Xiang was also dazed as he looked at Bai Ruxue. He clenched his fist as he walked to her.

    Bai Ruxue''s expression was serene, but one could see the longing in her eyes.

    " Miss, Ruxue, I know a good ce to have lunch. Will you apany me to..." Mo Xiang was a bit nervous as he asked Bai Ruxue.

    But Bai Ruxue''s eyes brightened as her lips curled. This made Mo Xiang startled. Bai Ruxue inched closer to him, making him happy. But she went past him as she ran.

    " Eh?" Mo Xiang''s smile stiffed as she saw where Bai Ruxue was heading.

    " Young Master1" Bai Ruxue said happily as she hugged Yang Shi.

    " Eh? Who is that young man?" Everyone there was startled as they looked at Bai Ruxue.

    " Damn it? Who the hell he was?"

    " Lover of Miss Ruxue?" Most young men there were jealous as they looked at Yang Shi with burning eyes.

    " Damn it! How he is here? I thought he will take more time to reach here." Mo Xiang cursed in his heart.

    " Nevermind, I don''t think I will lose this time." Mo Xiang snickered.

    " Ruxue, It seems you have missed me a lot." Yang Shi sighed as he caressed her hair.

    " I... Young master, You indeed took too much time." Bai Ruxueughed. But one could feel the trace of bitterness in her tone.

    " Hah, Are you really going to hold me like this in public?" Yang Shi chuckled as he tried to change the topic.

    " Ah!" Bai Ruxue was startled as she finally realized. She let go of Yang Shi''s arm as her face turned red.

    " Haha, Don''t worry, we will have plenty of time to talk." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Ohoho! Brother Yang, You are finally here." Mo Yiughed as he came down.

    " Ahah, Little Yang, It seems I underestimated you again." Mo Shan also greeted Yang Shi.

    " Comee! My grandfather is eager to meet you." Mo Yi grabbed Yang Shia and Bai Ruxue as he rushed inside.

 Chapter 200: Mo Clans Library

    Chapter 200: Mo n''s Library

    It was like a royal pce of earth, but it was much vast. Yang Shi could feel the nobility from the estate of Mo n.

    As they entered the manor, Yang Shi reached the meeting hall. He saw many people sitting around like an old man sitting on a embroider chair.

    Yang Shi opened her Celestial View as he looked at him. Since he has awakened his soul, His Celestial view has improved tremendously. Yang Shi''s eyelids flickered as he saw the old man.

    " Eh? The sixth stage of Violet Pce Expansion Realm?" Yang Shi muttered.

    " Ah! So you must be Yang Shi?" The eyes of that old man turned strange as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " Good! I can see why you aren''t ordinary." Heughed as he stared at Yang Shi.

    Suddenly, Yang Shi felt the air around him froze as an invisible pressure crushed his body. " So this the might of Violet Pce Expansion Realm, eh?" Yang Shi chuckled inwardly as he silently opened his Gold Devil Seal and circted metal qi to strengthen his body.

    " Huh?" The old man was surprised as he saw Yang Shi was standing like before. He increased the pressure as he smiled.

    Yang Shi''s skeleton creaked as it emitted faint white light. Yang Shi felt his Nine Saints Extreme Yang Skeleton activated its own as it resisted the pressure from the old man.

    Yang Shi felt that the skeleton has the strength to shoulder the thirty three heavens and crush eighteen hells. He felt that he couldn''t feel any pressure at all.

    " Hmm, Let''s see the expression of that old man." Yang Shi looked at the old man as he smiled faintly.

    " Father!" Mo Shan looked at Yang Shi as his face twitched. He red at that old man as he shouted.

    " Fine, fine. I am just taking his aptitude test." The old man chuckled.

    " Grandpa, what happened?" Mo Yi asked.

    " Haha, nothing. Little guy, you are sure unusual." The old man chuckled. " Senior is overpraising me." Yang Shi bowed.

    " Overpraising? I don''t think so. You managed to find the Baleful Wind Flower and cured Mo Shan. You even found our n''s Sky Inciniration Sword.

    I am indeed thankful to you." The old man chuckled.

    " Little Yang, He is my father, the head of Mo n, Mo Qian." Mo Shan said.

    " Junior greets Patriarch Mo." Yang Shi cupped his fists as he bowed slightly.

    " Good, Just call me grandpa Qian, since you are the same age as little inkpot." Mo Qianughed.

    " Grandpa! I am not little inkpot!" Mo Yi''s face flushed as he shouted.

    " Haha." Mo Qianughed.

    " So, I have prepared a banquet tonight. Tomorrow is our n''s annual martial championship. So, I hope you wille and watch." Mo Qian said.

    " Sure, I will be there to cheer for Mo Yi." Yang Shi smiled. " Moreover, I would also like to spar with Brother Mo." Yang Shi chuckled as he looked at Mo Yi.

    " Sure. It''s been a while since I am trying to find a worthy opponent to test my prowess." Mo Yi''s eyes also burned in fighting spirit as heughed.

    " I will be waiting." Yang Shi nodded as he smiled. He also wanted to test his power after his Foundation Pce was destroyed.

    " Mo Yi, take little Yang and show him around the manor. I and father wille back after the meeting." Mo Shan said.

    " Sure." Mo Yi nodded as they walked out from the hall. " Come brother Yang. I will show you the estate of the Mo n." Mo Yiughed

    " Xiao Yi, You haven''t met your friends to us." A gentleugher came as Yang Shi startled.

    " Sister Lin, Xiao Yi getting more and more disobedient." Anotherdy said.

    " Mother, Aunt Xi. It''s not like that. I am bringing him to me you." Mo Yi chuckled.

    " Brother Yang, She is my mother and she is aunt Lin, mother of the Elder brother." Mo Yi informed.

    " Junior greets aunt." Yang Shi cupped his fist.

    " Ahaha, You don''t need to be courteous. Because of you, our family was reunited." Mo Yi''s mother smiled.

    " It''s something that Brother Mo asked me. How can I declined him?" Yang Shi shook his head.

    " Aunt Lin, Why don''t you make your special Seven Lotus Soup today? I am craving for it." Mo Yi pouted.

    " Eh, Little Mo wanted to drink Seven Lotus Soup? Sure, I will make it today." Aunt Linughed.

    " See, Brother Mo, how was my Father''s pick? Beautiful, right?" Mo Yi chuckled.

    " Indeed, Uncle Mo Shan is... Quite, charismatic." Yang Shiughed.

    " Smelly brat! Yous started to badmouth again?" Mo Y i''s mother got angry as she pulled Mo Yi''s ear.

    " Sister, Let him be. Just let him be free till Liu Jiees." Aunt Lin chuckled.

    " Sister Lin really said a good thing." Mo Yi''s motherughed as she let go of Mo Yi.

    Looking at the affection between Mo Yi''s mother and him, Yang Shi could feel a pang of pain in his heart. He finally realized that even after having everything, he stillcked familial love in his both lives.

    Yang Shi clenched his fists as he remembered the dream from the memories of Long Xian.

    " I will return, and have my vengeance." Yang Shi looked to the sky as he muttered.

    " Brother Yang, What happened?" Mo Yi asked as he saw Yang Shi was dazed.

    " Nothing, It''s just I want to take some rest." Yang Shi shook his head.

    " You can go to your room. Hehe, Sister Ruxue is also there." Mo Yi winked a few times as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " What the hell are you thinking?" Yang Shi''s face flushed. Then he cleared his throat as he said, " It''s still day."

    " I see, Brother Yang has a sense of time. Then, You don''t need to go there for now." Mo Yiughed as he dragged Yang Shi. He went to many ces around the manor as he showed Yang Shi many things.

    " Brother Yang, This is the library of our Mo n. We stored all of our cultivation techniques and battle arts here." Mo Yi informed.

    " Young master Mo, You can''t bring any strangers to here. It''s an important ce of Mo n." A middle-aged man came out.

    " Uncle Hui, Don''t worry. I am only taking him to the ground floor. He is my sword brother after all." Mo Yi said.

    " Ground floor? That''s ok. But don''t stay too long." Uncle Hui nodded as he let them go.

    Yang Shi entered the spacious building as he saw shelves packed with books and scrolls. There are thousands of Yellow grade techniques, from the lower rank to the higher ranks.

    Yang Shi was browsing through them as he became amused.

 Chapter 201: Earth Dragon Fist

    Chapter 201: Earth Dragon Fist

    Yang Shi saw various low-grade techniques there. Not every technique was created by the ancestors of the Mo n. More than two-thirds were acquired by bloodshed and looting. You can''t expect elders of the Mo n to just sit in a room and create thousand of techniques from midair.

    " We stored all the techniques and treasures here. This tower was protected by various formations. It can easily block attacks of the Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator." Mo Yi exined.

    " We give various missions simr like sects, to test our disciples and let them earn credit points. They can use them to get treasures from here."

    " I see." Yang Shi nodded.

    " This is Seven Crack Palm. It''s one of the best offensive Yellow grade techniques here."

    " This is zing Fist. It actually serves as the foundation for My Scarlet me Fist, which is a high tier Purple grade technique."

    Many higher grade techniques have simr but lower grade techniques. If one can practice those low-tier techniques well, the higher grade techniques would be easier for them.

    " But there are some techniques which are only exclusive to our n. For example, My Sky Incineration Techniques is made by one of my ancestors. And there is Heavenly Stallion Qi Cirction method, which is the most guarded technique of our n."

    Yang Shi nodded as his eyes fell on a tattered book. It was covered with dust as Yang Shi picked it.

    " Eh? What''s this?" Yang Shi thought as he read its name.

    " Earth Dragon First?" Yang Shi chuckled. He was impressed by the name of this technique. But when he began to read it, his eyebrows creased.

    " Ehh, What the fuck?" Yang Shi blurted out as he read the book. " Eh? What happened? What book is that?" Mo Yi became interested as took the book and began to read.

    " Earth Dragon Fist? Wow, such an imposing name. Uhh... Wait, what is it?" Mo Yi''s face turned strange as he read it.

    Yang Shi thought that such an old book lying in dust with such an imposing name should be a powerful technique. At least he believed in his protagonist''s luck.

    Although he has the full memory of the Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi didn''t want to lose the fun of being a vagabond cultivator who doesn''t have many resources.

    The book was nothing like the name implied. There was nothing like any technique inside it. It was more like a bunch of theories about fist techniques.

    It seemed that the author of the book had some wild inspirations about how majestic can first techniques can look. It was nothing more than a bunch of paintings with a man doing various fist stances.

    " Uhh, Is this supposed to be a picture book for children? Shit, who the hell put this here?" Mo Yi couldn''t help butugh.

    It indeed looked like a child fantasy book with many scribbles and notes. But even they both read it a few times, but they couldn''t find anything useful in it. There was nothing about the Earth Dragon Fist technique, how to use it or what it does. No qi cirction method orw.

    There are only pictures of stances, without any qi cirction method. It looked like someone just randomly waving their hands. But Mo Yi and Yang Shi had to admit that the drawings were very good.

    Yang Shi really felt something was off, but he couldn''t understand what.

    " Brother Yang, let''s go. I will show you around other ces." Mo Yi said to Yang Shi.

    " Brother Mo, Can I keep this book?" Yang Shi asked suddenly.

    " This one? Sure, but why do you want this? Don''t tell me there is a secret in it?" Mo Yi raised his brows as he saw Yang Shi''s interest was piqued.

    " Why didn''t you thought that I just wanted it for fun?" Yang Shi''s face turned odd.

    " Haha, I am no fool, Brother Yang. Since you took fancy to that book, there must be something special in it." Mo Yi chuckled.

    " Well, It''s not like that. But I wanted to see if there is really something hidden in this." Yang Shiughed.

    They both came from the tower since Yang Shi didn''t have permission to go to higher floors. On higher floors, there are Purple grade and Mystic grade techniques were hidden.

    " Uncle Hui, Can we borrow this book?" Mo Yi said to that elder since he had to report him if he takes anything out of the tower.

    " Eh, what''s this? Earth Dragon Fist? Is there something like that on the first floor?" Elder Hui was surprised as he flipped the book.

    " What the heck? How it ended up here?" Elder Hui spat.

    " I don''t know. It seems there is some trash in the scroll tower. I hope Elder Lin can check." Mo Yi shrugged.

    Yang Shi was still thinking about the Earth Dragon Fist as Mo Yi dragged him.

    " Brother Yang, Hurry. Come here." Yang Shi saw an array of pirs as Mo Yi entered it. Yang Shi followed him as his surrounding became a bit misty.

    But when Yang Shi fully entered, he saw the surrounding changed.

    He could see vast green fields with lush green vegetation and small buildings. Yang Shi was surprised as there are too many medicinal herbs there. Most of them are over hundred year old. Some are almost reaching 500 year age.

    "This is our spirit herb field. It was protected and nourished by spirit arrays. It reduces the time of maturation of herbs." Mo Yi said.

    " Those are alchemy rooms. Alchemists of our n refine pills for daily use. They mostly refine True Energy pill and Vital Pill, which are necessary for cultivation. "

    " Ehh, There are so many herbs here. Hmm, Brother Mo, can I purchase some?" Yang Shi thought something as he asked.

    " Sure, I can sell all herbs which are below 200 year olds. Above that, you need the permission of my grandpa." Mo Yi nodded.

    " Well, I don''t need precious herbs. Just need a few to concoct some elixir." Yang Shi said. Yang Shi thought about the Wood Spirit Seal in his dantian as he got an idea. It already reached the firstyer, and Yang Shi wanted to raise it further. He also wanted to test if he can start alchemy.

    " Stone Stem Flower, Yellow Rejuvenation Fruit, Sunfire Fruit, Sanguine Mist Grass. I want three batches from each of them." Yang Shi listed.

    Since they are good in quality, Yang Shi didn''t hesitate to spend money. After buying all the herbs, Yang Shi already paid over a million gold coins. But he didn''t care.

    " As the cultivation realm increases and I reach more prosperous ces, mortal treasures will be akin to dust. In front of spirit stones and pills, gold coins are simply, worthless."

    Yang Shi finally realized that his spatial ring was almost full. " Eh, I never thought that this ring will be full. It seems I need to buy a better spatial ring." Yang Shi chuckled inwardly.

    A spatial ring costs more than a storage pouch, and among the spatial rings, Yang Shi''s ring wasn''t bad. But finding a better one with arger space might be tricky for him.

    " Brother Mo, It''s already evening. I think I should go back and take a rest for real. There is still a banquet tonight." Yang Shi exhaled in fatigue.

    " Haha, Fine. I just hope that you won''t forget the time due to Sister Ruxue." Mo Yi giggled. " Stinky brat, You need a beating!" Yang Shi snarled as he waved his fist.

    " Meh, I know what kind of hungry beast you are." Mo Yi winked as he ran away.

    " But well, It seems, I didn''t give proper time to Bai Ruxue. Hmm, I guess, I should say sorry to her." Yang Shi scratched his head.

    Yang Shi realized that he was actually dense in the matter of romance. How can he run around the Mo n estate when he met Ruxue after many days?

    Yang Shi silently opened the door of Ruxue''s room as he entered. He saw Ruxue sitting on a chair, looking at thest rays of sun with distant eyes.

    " Young Master, You are back." She turned around as she smiled.

 Chapter 202: Distant Hearts

    Chapter 202: Distant Hearts

    Yang Shi saw her eyes. Maybe others couldn''t tell it, but Yang Shi can feel it. Yang Shi felt a pang of pain in his heart as he saw those distant eyes.

    " Is young master is tired? I should make prepare hot water for your bath." Bai Ruxue got up as she turned to leave. But Yang Shi grabbed her arm as he pulled her to him.

    " Ruxue, Are you angry?" Yang Shi asked softly.

    "'' Me? Angry? I don''t get what young master is saying." Bai Ruxue shook her head.

    " I know. I have been quite irresponsible these days. Perhaps you felt that I was ignoring you. Maybe I am really." Yang Shi sighed as he hugged her tightly.

    " Ruxue, I do not know how to express my emotions. I used to cultivating, wandering alone. Thinking of someone who might be waiting for me, I can''t imagine." Yang Shiughed in self mocking.

    " Tell me, Ruxue, Are you angry? If you are, tell me the reason. Whatever you say, I will change."

    " No young master. I am really not. It''s just my mind." Bai Ruxue smiled.

    " Ever since young master saved me, My life has been changedpletely. I have beencking nothing. Young master gave me the power, the power to protect everyone around me."

    " But then I realize, How precious young master is to me. I can''t let go of you. Even for few days, I feel restless."

    " Whatmore, I don'' have the experience to the eyes center of the crowd. Quite a few rich nobles and young men from aristocratic families havee to see me. Sometimes, It feels suffocating. I wish how you would step forward and protect me."

    " I know it sounds dumb, but it can''t be helped. I but after hearing young master''s word, I realized that I am also at fault." Bai Ruxue sighed.

    " Cultivation world, simply the world of strong. With enough power, the Miao family destroyed mine, and you destroyed the Miao family. The rule doesn''t exist. Young master is a dragon amongst the men. There will be simply many beauties that will fall for you."

    " As I pledged that day, I shall be the servant of young master for my all lives.No matter how you treat, as long as you keep me by your side." Bai Ruxe said.

    " Haah, Ruxue, seems you are mistaken. Servant? As I said, You shall be my woman. Your body, your soul, everything of yours belongs to me." Yang Shi turned her around he closed her face.

    " Do you understand, I might be far away, maybe in another universe. But how can I forget you, Ruxue?" Yang Shi muttered.

    " I am already satisfied with what I have now. I don''t have any regrets in this life." Bai Ruxueughed. Yang Shi was finally relieved to see Bai Ruxue happy.

    " You see, I even prepared a present for you." Yang Shiughed as he said. " Present? Does young master prepared it just he thought I am angry?" Bai Ruxue pouted.

    " Ehh... Not really. I found this piece of gem, so I thought to personally make this for you." Yang Shi waved his palm as a neckless apreare4d in it.

    It was the chain was thin, with a dual color of faded red and silver. On the middle of it, a pendant with a deep blue gem embedded. The gem has a thin shade of white over it, like stars scattered in the sky.

    " Waahh, It''s so pretty." Bai Ruxue''e eyes sparkled as she saw it. " Well, It''s called Bright Moon Crystal. I found this with help of...a friend of mine." Yang Shi chuckled as he remembered Hua Yewan.

    " I polished it and made this neckless. Hehe, It''s not supposed to be an ordinary pendant, even if it''s one currently." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    " It''s indeed very pretty. Young master, How about I dress for you?" Bai Ruxue smiled.

    " Sure, We have a banquet to attend." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Ehh, I think me going with you will be, a bit inappropriate, no" Bai Ruxue hesitated. Since there will be many important people.

    " Listen, Since You are my woman, you don''t need to hide. Why be afraid? Even if I sky falls, I can shoulder it for you." Yang Shi rubbed Bai Ruxue''s lips as he said.

    " Mhm." Bai Ruxue nodded.

    " You know what, I am thinking to return from the banquet earlier." Yang Shi smiled mischievously.

    " Why?" Bai Ruxue didn''t understand at first. But when she looked at Yang Shi''s evil expression, she blushed.

    " Young master! You are so...perverted." Bai Ruxue scoffed as she went to change. Yang Shi scratched his head as he sat on the couch.

    There was a fruit basket on the table. It was filled with many fruits that are suitable for cultivators. Yang Shi looked at the red fruit as sat still. Yang Shi''s eyes sparkled as he channeled some unknown energy to the fruit.

    He didn''t use a shred of spiritual qi, yet the fruit started to float. Yang Shi''s face didn''t change as he pulled the fruit towards him. The fruit hovered, but suddenly, it quivered as it fell down.

    Yang Shi didn''t move as the falling fruit again stopped mid-air. Yang Shi finally pulled it as it fell on his palm.

    " Hmm, My soul qi isn''t much powerful. It''s below an average Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator. But unless I am fully were to use soul qi, I won''t be at a disadvantage in other professions." Yang Shi thought.

    Soul, Body, and Energy, the three most important things for a cultivator. Only bncing in them can make one stronger. The soul is the most delicate thing of a cultivator.

    Awakening of the soul gives cultivators many abilities. One of them is the divine sense, which uses soul qi to enhance the six senses of a person.

    Soul qi is also like spiritual qi, a form of energy. But soul qi is less versatile than spiritual qi. Divine sense can be used as both attacking, defending, detection. But its worth indeed lies in the dao craftsmanship.

    Let it be alchemy, cksmithing, rune inscription, or formation making. After a certain level, crafting them would be impossible without the usage of divine sense. Because, the higher grade the product bes, it would take much more precision and energy.

    For example, Master grade cksmiths can forge till Quasi True grade treasures as ut only requires drawing the spirit diagram. But making a real True grade treasure is impossible unless they connects the spirit diagrams and inscribe runes on it.

    The first step to make runes and talismans is to have divine sense. Sonly after the Violet Pce Expansion Realm, or when the soul awakes, marks the start of a new journey.

    " I guess, I should try to cultivate a soul type technique." Yang Shi thought.

    " Young master, How am I looking?" A voice startled Yang Shi as he looked back. He saw Bai Ruxue stood there dressed. For a moment, he couldn''t take off his eyes from her.

    " Damn."

 Chapter 203: Mo Xiaowen

    Chapter 203: Mo Xiaowen

    Yang Shi was mesmerized by the beauty of Bai Ruxue, who wore a white dress with a shade of yellow. The patterns of blooming flowers on her robe made her looked more elegant.

    Since she started to cultivate Jade Empyrean Heavenly Technique, Bai Ruue''s aura had changedpletely. She resembled a goddess from the celestial realm.

    " Hmm, Her Nine Yin Heavenly Physique is doing well with Jade Empyrean Heavenly Technique. The spirit stone I gave to her really boosted her cultivation by leaps and bounds." Yang Shi thought.

    " Young master, am I looking good?" Bai Ruxue asked meekly.

    " My my, It''s gorgeous. I guess I won''t be having peace tonight." Yang Shi sighed.

    " Why?" Bai Ruxue asked in confusion.

    " Well, I will be warding off the crazy mob of virgin young brats after they see you." Yang Shiughed.

    " Ah, Young master. Yout tongue getting slicker." Bai Ruxueughed.

    " Shall we go now?" Yang Shi smiled as he held the arms of Bai Ruxue.

    From Mo Yi, Yang Shi came to know that almost every faction, be it sects or ns is doing their yearly assessments. It was because the secret realm is going to open and when it happens, the battle of thrones between the royal n will reach to peak.

    The secret realm has abundant treasures but the quotas are limited. So every powerhouse wished to send their elites to gain most from the secret realm.

    The banquet of the Mo n has many distinguished guests from other factions. It was like a gathering among cultivators.

    Yang Shi saw many old and young came there to attend the banquet. Mo n was one of the four great ns of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. So their reputation was excellent.

    There was quite a number of young masters and nobledies in that gathering. But well, Yang Shi already has an outstanding beauty beside him. So he didn''t bother to look at them.

    On the other hand, all young men were looking at Bai Ruxue with burning eyes. Bai Ruxue was like an immortal crane standing among the herons.

    " Toads wishing to eat swan''s meat." Yang Shi scoffed. " Aww, Is young master is jealous?" Bai Ruxue smiled. " Hmph, Why would I be jealous of a bunch of brats." Yang Shi shrugged.

    There were also people from Liu Family. Yang Shi saw that Liu Jiang already started to flirt with some girls. He also saw that Liu Jie was talking with Mo Yi.

    " Ah Brother Yang, You are here." Mo Yi and Liu J ie came to Yang Shi.

    " Wow, Sister Ruxue looks so pretty." Li Jie''s eyes sparkled as she nestled with Bai Ruxue. " Are you using some sort of special makeup? Or practicing some charming techniques?"

    " No sister Jie, I don''t use any of that." Bai Ruxue shook her head.

    " Eh, Sister Jie, You are also beautiful. Why do you need external methods?" Yang Shi chuckled. " Brother Yang, don''t you know? Ady must always maintain her youth and beauty." Liu Jieughed.

    " Damn, I heard that Hundred Flower Pavilion got their hands on an ancient pill recipe of Yin Enhancing Pill. But it''s out of stock. I must get my hands on that." Liu Jie mumbled.

    " Hey, Sister, don''t say like that. That pill was clearly for old hags, who crossed their youth. You so young, Why do you need that pill?" Yang Shi was startled. After all, he was the one who gave the recipe of that pill.

    " Eh? But isn''t that pill enhance a woman''s beauty?" Liu Jie asked.

    " Sister Jie, it''s like an addictive drug. Once you start taking that pill, you need to take other in regr intervals. Moreover, it''s not good for your skin." Yang Shi exined.

    " Ah? Isn''t that bit evil?" Liu Jie gasped.

    " Well, It''s easier to influence females. This pill was basically a money making machine. I wish I can mass produce it and get rich." Mo Yi cackled. It was indeed created to make money.

    " Hmm, Don''t worry Sister Jie. I think I got something for you." Yang Shi rubbed his chin as he thought of something.

    " What is it?" Liu Jie asked in surprise.

    " Well, I will tellter." Yang Shi smiled mysteriously.

    " Damn, Brother Yang. Tell me beforehand. I can smell money from it." Mo Yi gave a thumbs up.

    But then, a Young man entered the hall. His hair was tied neatly as there was a sword on his back. Its length was almost the same as the height of that man. It was covered by a sheath, which was made from a a ck colored beast skin.

    " Whoa, Elder Brother!" Mo Yi shouted. Yang Shi finally met Mo Xiaowen.

    "Sword intent, that''s interesting." Yang Shi thought as he used his Celestial view. He could see a sharp aura above him.

    "Brother Yang,e and meet elder brother Xiaowen." Mo Yiughed as he dragged Mo Xiaowen to Yang shi.

    Mo Xiaowen''s eyes revealed a trace of surprise as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " So you are the one who found Baleful Wind flower?" Mo Xiaowen asked in a deep tone.

    " Indeed." Mo Yi nodded.

    Mo Xiaowen bowed slightly as he said, "Many thanks to junior brother who saved our father''s life."

    " No, no. It''s just matter of fate that I found that herb." Yang Shi hurriedly shook his head.

    " I don''t think it''s only fate. Junior brother Yang''s eye technique is very powerful." Mo Xiaowen chuckled.

    " Hehe, so you noticed." Yang Shis smiled embarrassingly.

    " If I hadn''t cultivated the initial stage of Sword Intent, I might have not noticed it." Mo Xiaowen said.

    " Brother Xioawen reached initial stage of Sword Intent is indeed marvelous. My tricks are nothing to bepared." Yang Sho smiled, but he sighed inwardly.

    Originally Yang Shi thought that with the help of Samsara Emperor''s memory, could easily cultivate sword intent. But never thought that he had to start from the scratch.

    The memories of powerful weapon techniques or dao insight can only make his path smoother, but ultimately, Yang Shi have to walk his own on it.

    Yang Shi can already use sword light and saber might, which is the basics toprehend sword and saber intent. But even with heavy practice, he still can''tprehend the intent.

    He felt he needed to face the Sword Intent, before he can understand it. After seeing Mo Xiaowen, Yang Shi felt a battle spirit rising in him.

    " Junior brother Yang, I can sense turbulence in your dantian. It seems that you tried to condense your pce foundation, but you failed." Mo Xiaowen showed a trace of concern.

    " That? I know about it." Yang Shi didn''t denied.

    ." Dammit, Brother Yang. You already reached ninth stage of Primordial Spirit Realm and condensed your pce foundation?" Mo Yi'' face changed greatly.

    " Well, I mindlessly rushed and failed ultimately. Nheless, I am not too concerned about it. and I am still at seventh stage at this moment." Yang Shi chuckled.

    If it was any average cultivator, he would have broke down mentally after failing in condensing his pce foundation. But Yang Shi remained calm, as he was confident to reach Violet Pce Expansion Realm.

    " If junior brother Yang wants, I give you some Spirit Dissolving pills. It can fully dissolve your broken foundation as you can start preparing new pce foundation after reaching the ninth stage." Mo Xiaowen adviced.

    " Spirit Dissolving Pill?! Isn''t its a rank four pill? It can clear any anomaly that happens in dantian, after a person fails to condense his pce foundation. I didn''t thought elder brother havd such miraculous pill." Mo Yi was pleasantly surprised.

    " Hehe, After all, I am a Inner disciple of Thousand Sword Pavilion. After I reached Violet Pce Expansion Realm, this pill became useless for me."

    "Since junior brother Yang is a benefactor of our n, he can take this as a small gift." Mo Xiaowen smiled.

    " Heh, if brother was to auction this pill here, It can easily fetch a dozen of spirit stone." Mo Yi mumbled.

    " I thank brother Xiaowen, but, I don''t think I will need this." Yang Shi refused politely.

 Chapter 204: Young master of Yue Clan

    Chapter 204: Young master of Yue n

    Spirit dissolving pill is a precious medicinal pill. Its greatest use is helping the one who could not reach Violet Pce Expansion Realm due to failing to condense their pce foundation. After someone''s pce foundation breaks, portions of solidified spiritual qi remain in their dantian.

    These broken pieces can be troublesome things which makes condensation of the pce foundation difficult. Spirit Dissolving pillspletely dissolve the broken pieces of the pce foundation.

    This pill is a rank four medicinal pill and one of the two most famous pills which cultivators of the ninth stage of Primordial Spirit Realm use.

    This pill is very hard to refine. Only top-grade master alchemists with the correct recipe can refine it.

    Thousand Sword Pavilion is a powerful sect that has a country of its own. Its more powerful than any sect of Western province, and one of the powerhouses of the vastnds.

    Such a developed ce it''s no wonder that Mo Xiaowen got his hands on the Spirit Dissolving Pill.

    But Yang Shi didn''t care much about this pill. Because he has the Chaos qi, can refine any broken pieces of pce foundation. Moreover, after failing to condense his pce foundation, Yang Shi cautious than before.

    He felt his foundation roots are the greatest obstacle in his cultivation. It''spletely broken and unsuitable to condense the pce foundation. It is still repairable by medicinal pills and treasures, Yang Shi didn''t possess any of them.

    " I will need the Great Rejuvenation Pill, which is a high grade rank five medicinal pills. I don''t think anyone in Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom can refine that pill." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    " Hmm, Does junior brother really don''t want this pill? It seems junior brother has his own ns." Mo Xiaowen nodded after some thought.

    " But I think that I should still give you some gift." Mo Xiaowen added.

    " Well, I think I have a better option. I am sure brother Xiaowen won''t refuse." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Sure, I won''t mind."

    As they were chatting, suddenly Yang Shi''s expression turned stiff. A young man wearing purple robes came to Bai Ruxue. From dressing, he looked like a rich young master of a power full n.

    " Why he is here?" Mo Yi frowned as his face twitched.

    " Lady Bai, We met again." The youth smiled as he looked at Bai Ruxue. " I hope this meager gift can please you." He said as he produced a jade box.

    It looked beautiful as it was tightly sealed. The youth opened it as a rich medicinal aroma drifted out.

    " This a top grade Yin Enchantment Pill, one of the finest products of Hundred Flower Pavilion." The youth said proudly.

    " Young master Yue, I am grateful that you''re bought these for me. But, I don''t think it''s any of use for me." Bai Ruxue politely said, but one could sense a trace of coldness in her tone.

    " Haha, true why such a beautifuldy like you need it? Moreover, there is another named Jade Nourishing Pill. Not only these can enhance your beauty, but it can also raise your cultivation." Young master Yue chuckled.

    " Jade Nourishing Pill!" People around him showed a trace of surprise as they heard the name. It''s a rank three pill, made by Yue n. It can help a cultivator to stabilize their cultivation and make their bottleneck easier to break.

    This is a very popr pill in Azure Feather''s ancient Kingdom. Its effect''s heavily sought by cultivators. A single pill maybe cost around more than a hundred thousand gold coins.

    " I do not need external items to raise my cultivation." Bai Ruxue replied tly. " I hope young master Yue don''t look for me in future."

    " Heh, a youngdy should not speak such harsh words. One should know when to grab an opportunity." Young master Yueughed but with a hint of threat in it.

    Mo Yi was about to say something when his expression changed as he looked at Yang Shi. He saw Yang Shi''s face was calm but he could feel cold and formless killing intent rising from him. Mo Xiaowen also got surprised as he also felt the killing intent

    But suddenly, it vanished without a trace as if it wasn''t there before. Yang Shi just sighed as he walked to Bai Ruxue.

    " Hehe, A show is about to start." Mo Yi chuckled as he looked there with interest. He was ted as he wondered what Yang Shi is going to do.

    Young Master Yue never thought that Bai Ruxue would refuse him so tly. He was confident in his charm and influence. After all, The Yue n is one of the four great ns. Which woman would refuse the young master of such a great n?

    " Fucking slut. Just wait till I make you my bed warming..." he was cursing in his heart as he felt someone grabbing his shoulder.

    " Brother, Don''t you think it''s impolite to harras ady like this?" He was none other than Yang Shi, who said with a kind face.

    " Who the fuck are you? Move away before I break your legs." Young master Yue snorted as he shook his shoulder. But Yang Shi''s hand was like an iron w, tightly grabbing the shoulders of young master Yue.

    " Heh, It seems you won''t go until you bite the dust." Young master Yue was annoyed by this neer''s behavior as he used his spiritual qi to shake off Yang Shi. He was very confident in his cultivation of the Eighth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

    But strangely, Yang Shi didn''t budge a bit. It was as if he didn''t felt anything. Yang Shi couldn''t help but sigh.

    " I showed you the path of heaven, yet you choose to barge into the gates of hell." Yang Shi couldn''t help but chuckle.

    " You..." Young master Yue was about to erupt but suddenly, he heard a soft cracking sound.

    *CRACCKK*

    Young master Yue''s face suddenly contorted as he felt he couldn''t sense his left shoulder.

    " AHHHHHH" Young master Yue cried out in extreme pain as Yang Shi broke his shoulder bone.

    The people attending the banquet were startled by the scream of young master Yue as they looked there.

    " Holy shit1 He did it." Mo Yi''s expression turned ted as he enjoyed the misery of Young master Yue.

    " Bastard!! You dare to sneak attack me?" Young master Yue cursed loudly as he stared ruthlessly at Yang Shi.

    " Sneak attack? Heh, I don''t even need to bat my eyelid to kill someone like you." Yang Shi snorted as heughed coldly. " I warned you, yet you dared to mess with my woman. Be grateful that I haven''t taken your life yet."

    Young master Yue popped a medician pill in his mouth as his pain lessened. Bai Ruxue saw the things unfolding before her as she felt warmth in her heart.

    Young master Yue stood up as he faced Yang Shi. " Hmph, state your name. I, Yue Wuji, never kill a nameless cultivator." He ate a top grade healing pill, so his wounds are partially healed.

    " Kek, still barking like a dog." Yang Shi finally lost his patience as he looked at Yue Wuji. People around them already retreated as they made enough space around them to fight.

    " Let''s see if Yue n really deserves their reputation." Yang Shi snorted.

    " Good! Let''s see if You are able to fend my Great Sea Splitter Technique." Yue Wuji snorted as a spiritual aura burst from his body.

    " Great Sea Splitter technique? Isn''t that technique is from Yue n''s Thousand Sea Waves manual, their n''s defining heaven grade technique?" People gasped in shock.

    " Hmph, unless he reached Violet Pce Expansion Realm, he can never utilize its full potential. Nheless, it is enough to defeat that unknown youth." A middle aged cultivator said.

    Two white haired old men were drinking wine as he looked at Yang Shi. " Is that him?" An old man asked. " Brother Wu, I am sure. He is the one."

    " Interesting. Let''s see why that hammerhead Lin likes this youngster."

    Yang Shi didn''t show any expression but he activated his Gold Devil Seal without hesitation. After fully mergiing with Samsara Emperor''s memory, Yang Shi felt it was a new way to use Primordial Feind Tyrant Body Art.

    " Gold Devil Armor,e forth!"

 Chapter 205: Combining Martial Arts

    Chapter 205: Combining Martial Arts

    Yang Shi''s Gold Devil Seal buzzed as metal qi flowed to his body. The metal qi strengthed his physical body as it formed a faint golden armor over him. It was the second time Yang Shi used this technique. But he could feel the armor looked more defining after he adjusted the flow of metal qi.

    Yue Wuji drew his hands as it got shrouded by a blue aura. Water appeared in a whirling manner as he charged at Yang Shi. Yang Shi snorted as he used Soaring Eagle Immortal Steps to easily dodge the attack.

    Yue Wuji''s water des were flexible as its attack grew faster and faster. The water de rippled as it viciously shot at Yang Shi.

    " Let''s see how many times you can dodge! Spiraling Waves!" The water de got bigged as Yue Wuji shed at Yang Shi.

    " Hmph! Ghost Fist!" Yang Shi didn''t use any battle techniques but themon martial arts of the Earth. But with the buff from Gold Devil Armor, thismon martial art can be a killing move by Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi''s fist became a pale golden blur as eight shadows of fists attacked Yue Wuji.

    *PENG PENG PENG PENG*

    Yang Shi blocked the attack of Yue Wuji as he repelled him. The onlookers were shocked by the sudden development of things.

    " Yi! What technique is that? Is that Eight Thunder Fist?" A person couldn''t help but ask.

    " Although it looks like Eighth Thunder Fist Technique, it didn''t show any spiritual qi fluctuations. It was as if, He was solely doing a body movement."

    " How could his physical body is capable of stopping a battle technique?" Another person rebuked.

    Yang Shi barely worried about the attacks of Yue Wuji as he was confident in his Gold Devil Armor. Yang Shi used martial art techniques as he fought with Yue Wuji.

    Yang Shi didn''t use martial art because he waszy to cast battle techniques, but he used martial arts to test something.

    " As expected. These techniques can be considered prototype dao techniques. With Internal Energy, the might of martial art may be negligible, but these techniques were made ording to the enlightenment and thews of world." Yang Shi pondered.

    " Since I have confirmed it, there is no need to drag out things." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Bastard! You can only block and dodge?! Take this!" Yue Wuji became furious as he drew his sword.

    " Rippling Waves Storm!" The silver sword beamed with blue light as vertical water lines came crashing at Yang Shi. It was like hundreds of water swords fell over him.

    Yang Shi''s expression changed slightly as he saw the iing attack.

    " Let''s see the defensive capabilities of Gold Devil Armor!" Yang Shi didn''t hesitate as he fully unleashed the power of the Gold Devil Armor.

    The Gold Devil Armor was the innate ability of the Gold Devil Seal. It doesn''t utilize the spiritual qi, but pure metal qi to form armor around the body. The armor of Yang Shi is barely visible as his Gold Devil Seal was only at the embryonic stage. But when the power of the Gold Devil Armor grows, it will be visible.

    Yang Shi gathered the power in his fist as he punched the Rippling Waves Storm of Yue Wuji. But the addition is, he activated his Celestial View to find the weakness of the attack.

    Yang Shi easily went through the gaps as he dispelled the attack. But some of the attacks still hit his body.

    Yang Shi''s robe was torn as a trace of wound appeared. But it looked superficial as only a few drops of blood trickled.

    " Impossible!" Yue Wuji became rmed as he saw Yang Shi didn''t have any serious injuries. He felt Yang Shi wore some sort of hidden armor as he couldn''t believe that his physical body is strong to take it head on.

    Yang Shi waved his arm in a semi circr manner as if he was doing Tai Chi exercise.

    Tai Chi, simple martial arts, was meant to be used by all kinds of people. There are lots of people, especially elderly folks, who exercise Tai Chi every morning in the park. But that was the simplest type of Tai Chi.

    With the flow of many eras, Tai Chi had undergone countless variations. Some were to energize the body and calm the mind. Some variations were meant to practice as martial arts, capable of killing.

    The Divine Art of Tai Chi, which Yang Shi practices asionally is one of the earliest variations of Tai Chi, which revolves around controlling one''s innate Yin and Yang energy.

    It''s all about bncing the opposites elements. Yin and Yang, Soft and Hard, Warm and Cold, Fast and Slow. When one can control this, it''s the same as having Internal energy.

    Yang Shi had overbearing Yin and Yang qi from his Nine Saints Extreme Yang Skeleton and Immemorial Evil Yin Vein. So Tai Chi was like a perfect controller to control these energies.

    " Hehe, Let''s try this move." Yang Shi slowly circted Yin qi to his palm as he pped the chest of Yue Wuji. He was imitating a move that he always saw in the martial arts novel, The Hundred Layered Palm.

    It was basically the use of Tai Chi with Yin qi''s soft element. It can ignore any defense as it''s a vibration-type attack. It can easily shatter internal organs, causing instakill.

    Yue Wuji''s expression changed as Yang Shi''s palmnded on his chest. He felt a powerful fore as he blew back. But soon he stabilize himself as he coughed.

    " Eh! What was that? Could it be...."

    " Damn it! It''s a fake attack." Yue Wuji sneered.

    Fortunately, It didn''t cause any harm to him

    Yang Shi''s expression turned odd as the technique didn''t work as intended. YangShi''s felt his cheek turned hot as he felt embarrassing.

    " Hehe! To err is human... Anyway, I am tired of this shit." Yang Shi sighed in his heart as he clenched his fist and looked at Yue Wuji.

    " Brat! Don''t you think you have won yet! I am still..." Yue Wuji was shouting but his eyes turned wide as he saw Yang Shi suddenly disappeared from his position.

    " Ghost Fist! Eight returns to One!" Yang Shi summoned the entier power of Gold Devil Seal as he threw a punch at Yue Wuji. His fist turned into eight shadows, which merged into one in midway.

    Yue Wuji finally felt dread as he saw the punch. He hurriedly chanted an incantation as a light armor appeared over his body.

    *BOOM*

    With a thunderous noise, Yue Wuji felt his vision red as felt his body became a broken kite. He got sted back as he crashed on a stone pir. The stone pir shattered as Yue Wuji lied in the rubble, with his bloodied body twitching.

    " Earlier, I broke only one bone, yet look now. Your entire body is broken. Only if you listened to me earlier." Yang Shi shook his head as he said with a pitied voice.

    The onlooker''s face turned odd as they listened to Yang Shi.

    " Pfttt!" Mo Yi and Liu Jiang couldn''t help but spat the wine they''re were drinking.

    " HAHAHAHA." Mo Xiaowen didn''t restrain as heughed.

    Mo Shan saw the entire thing as he sighed and called his servants.

    " Go, attended Young master Yue. Call Alchemist Cai and tell him to check Yue Wuji''s condition." Mo Shan''s expression didn''t change as if it''s a very trifling affair.

    " Damn, My looks go messy." Yang Shi''s expression turned gloomy as he walked to Bai Ruxue.

    " Are you ok?" YangShi asked with a bit of concern.

    " Well, Since young master is here, how can something happen to me?" Bai Ruxue''s eyes turned like crescent moon as she smiled.

    Yang Shi rubbed his nose with embarrassment as his heart thumped.

    Chapter 206: Night of Pleasure

    " Wow, That armor is sure a quasi True grade armor. I can still feel a tingling pain in my fist." Yang Shi waved his arms as he saw that his fist had turned bright red.

    Had he added a bit more strength, he might have gotten a good wound.

    Gold Devil Seal can make one''s body turn into the same as a treasure, but it depends upon the level of the Gold Devil Seal. If YangShi can charge to the Fourthyer of the Gold Devil Seal, his body will turn into a quasi True grade treasure, without Gold Devil Armor.

    Yang Shi recalled his Gold Devil Armor as he looked at Mo Yi.

    " Haha, Brother Yang, You nailed it. Yue Wuji was the grandson of the first elder of the Yue n, and you have almost beaten him to death." Mo Yi clicked his tongue.

    " Well, Brother Mo, Judging from his tone, he seemed to know Bai Ruxue beforehand. Can you tell me why?" YangShi asked in confusion.

    " Well, It''s something Liu Jie told me before, but Ididn''t mind it back then. Before you came here, Sister Liu often came here to keeppany with Sister Bai."

    " Once, They went to the Stardust Market to purchase some items. Liu Jie said that Yue Wuji was there and saw Sister Bai. He fell for her beauty as he kept chasing her."

    " After Liu Jie used her authority and power, only did Yue Wuji stopped pestering them. Fuck, I didn''t know that bastard still had some thoughts of Sister Bai." Mo Yi cursed under his breath.

    " Junior brother Yang is pretty brave. You dared to injure the such a talent of the Yue n." Mo Xiaowenughed.

    " You brats! Are you going to tear down my n?" Mo Qian raged as he looked at the trio. His beard blew as spit flew everywhere.

    " Grandpa, you shouldn''t get angry. It''s bad for your health." Mo Xiaowen coughed.

    " What? Xiaowen, are you teaching me now?" Mo Qian became furious.

    " Grandpa, Hey, look. Don''t be angry, ok. That Yue Wuji isn''t dead, is he? That''s his fault to harass Brother Yang''s woman." Mo Yi shrugged. But he also slightly backed away as he didn''t want to drown by the flying saliva of his grandfather.

    " You! Sigh, You brats always causing a headache for me." Mo Qian sighed. But he looked like he was only scolding them for show.

    " I apologize Patriarch Mo, for causing the ruckus. Could it be that the elders of the Yue n will cause trouble for the Mo n?" Yang Shi bowed as he showed concern.

    " Aiiz, Little Yang doesn''t need to be too worried. It''s a rule that the senior generation won''t meddle with the affairs of juniors. Hmph, I will also see if that old Yue Kang has really the strength to knock my Mo n''s doors." Mo Qian snorted.

    " Hehe, I knew it. My grandpa is still the mad tiger of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom." Mo Yiughed.

    " Mad Tiger?! Who? Who told you about this name? Which bastard is still using that name?!" Mo Qian''s face turned rigid as he red at Mo Yi.

    " No, Grandfather. No one, I was trying to say that, Grandfather is still a great powerhouse." Mo Yi coughed as he changed his words.

    " Hmph, It seems those old geezers still call me that. Never mind, I will see them." Mo Qiang flung his sleeves as he mutter and left.

    " Xiao Yi, how can you be forgetful? You actually said that name in front of grandpa?" Mo Xiaowen snorted.

    " Hehe, It''s indeed my fault." Mo Yi wiped his sweat. He was almost closed to get beaten by his grandfather.

    " Brother Mo, I think I should take some rest." Yang Shi looked around.

    " Indeed, Brother Yang should take some rest. After all, tomorrow is an important day." Mo Yi nodded. Naturally, After fighting with Yue Wuji, Yang Shi must have been exhausted.

    But they didn''t know the true intention of Yang Shi. After he secretly gobbled up some food, Yang Shi felt that such gathering is very boring. Yang Shi would rather go back to his room and cultivate for a bit.

    " Young master, I think I should also go. I need to check if there is any hidden wound." Bai Ruxue was clearly concerned.

    " Sure."

    Yang Shi hastily came back to his room. Bai Ruxue already came before as she was preparing a medicinal ointment.

    " Young Master, Come. Let me help you." Bai Ruxue slowly said as she took off the outer robe of Yang Shi.

    Although Yang Shi was barely injured, there are still some fresh scars.

    " I have caused such ident for the young master." Bai Ruxue couldn''t help but sigh dejectedly.

    " Well, That''s... kinda true. So, Youngdy Bai, How are you going topensate me?" Yang Shi smirked.

    " What do you want?" Bai Ruxue scoffed as she blushed.

    " Hehe, What do you think?" Yang Shi suddenly moved forward as he pressed his body against Bai Ruxue.

    " I will obey whatever Young mastermands." Bai Ruxue puckered her lips.

    " Well, now take a bath. Why not be refreshed?" Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Heng! Young master''s head is always filled with dirty thoughts." Bai Ruxue pushed him aside as she went to the bathroom

    Yang Shi had to admit that the bathrooms of this era is very luxurious than the Earth. The room was pretty big ording to Yang Shi. With hot and cold controlling runes, one can adjust the temperature of the water. It has all features of the earth''s bathroom, just he science is reced by daoist magics.

    Bai Ruxue''s clothes fell as her alluring bare body came to sight. She slowly entered the bathtub, which was more like a shallow pool. She wore nothing, but the pendant, which YangShi gifted her.

    The water was crystal clear as there was ayer of white mist obscuring her figure. With her body partially blended with the mist, the sight can make any men go crazy with lust.

    As Bai Ruxue''s hand yed with water, she felt someone else entered the bathroom.

    Bai Ruxue hurriedly covered her chest andher region with her delicate arms as she said with slight anger, " Why didn''t you tell me that you are also joining?"

    " Hehe, I just remembered when we first bathed together. I just want to experience that feeling again. And it''s not like that I haven''t seen your body before." Yang Shi chuckled as he also went inside the pool.

    " Mnn, Young master is indeed full of these kinds of tricks." Bai Ruxue snorted lightly, but her body already turned warm as Yang Shi gently caressed her back. Her body trembled as her mind was already going into chaos.

    " It is been a while..." Yang Shi slowly said as he gently kissed her neck from behind. He slowly pulled awayher arms from her chests and his evil paws already grabbed the proud mountains of Bai Ruxue.

    Yang Shi didn''t show any politeness as he squeezed them. Yang Shi felt it was like a soft dough, he was also lost in the sense of pleasure.

    " Young master, Be gentle... Hnnng..." Bai Ruxue moaned in ecstasy as she let Yang Shi grope her breasts. She turned around as their lips locked with each other.

    Bai Ruxue''s tongue was wrapped by Yang Shi''s tongue as they kissed over a minute. Bai Ruxue''s felt her breath turned haggard as their skin pasted with each other. Yang Shi felt her little brother is already turned hard as it stood up like a dragon raising his head.

    With wet hair and dew like water drops over her body and wearing only a ne, Bai Ruxue looked like a goddess in her primordial form, only waiting to get loved by Yang Shi''s masculine body.

    " Young master, This time, I am taking the initiative." Bai Ruxue''s finger interlocked with Yang Shi''s as she said with a sweet voice. She stood up slightly as her legs parted like ''M'' shape. Yang Shi could clearly see the wet, hidden region of Bai Ruxue.

    " Ahhnnn"

    Bai Ruxue''s eyes closed as she sat over the raging hard pir of Yang Shi. It was like someone sheaths a sword, Bai Ruxue''sher region swallowed the pir of Yang Shi.

    Her face contorted with slight pain, but she began to move, it was reced by a strange feeling, a mixture of lust and pleasure.

    " Hahh, haaah... umnnh...ahhhhhhh."

    She galloped like riding a horse as her breasts also bounced like white rabbits, only to make Yang Shi harder. She moaned without any care as she felt pleasure flooding her body.

    Yang Shi couldn''t bear them bouncing as he grabbed them as Bai Ruxue continued to move. Yang Shi pinched their peaks as he felt Bai Ruxue''s inner suddenly squeezed around his junior. He felt his dick is on verge of an explosion.

    " No, Young master... That ce... is sen..setive... Ahnnnn." Bai Ruxue panted but Yang Shi only pinched them harder.

    As they were cultivators, their stamina is much stronger. After a period of time, Yang Shi suddenly grabbed Bai Ruxue''s waist as he bent her to his face.

    " Bai Ruxue, I..."

    " No need to say, Young master. Let''s do it together." Bai Ruxue panted.

    " Ahnn... I am...ing..."

    Bai Ruxue and Yang Shi''s bodies mped together as Bai Ruxue felt something hot and sticky pouring in her private part. She also released her juice as she lied powerlessly on Yang Shi''s chest.

    But Yang Shi didn''t immediately withdraw his junior as they lied with the lukewarm water while being connected with each other as enjoyed the moment.

 Chapter 207: Comprehension

    Chapter 207: Comprehension

    Yang Shi lifted Bai Ruxue''s body as he took her to the bedroom. He inhaled her sweet fragrance as he rested her on the bed.

    Bai Ruxue tenderly looked at Yang Shi. Her eyes filled with affection and love. Yang Shi couldn''t help but kiss her again as her breast was pressed by his masculine chest.

    " No, Not now. I am... tired." Bai Ruxue wrapped her arms around Yang Shi''s neck as she said feebly. " Well, Since that''s the case, let''s stop today. But, we can do many other things." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Oh, and what is it?" Bai Ruxue asked with interest.

    " Like, lying like this, and ying with your body." Yang Shi buried his face amidst the valley of her twin peaks.

    "Hnngh, Young master''s lust hasn''t subdued yet." Bai Ruxue gasped in surprise.

    " Anyway, I think we should start cultivating. Try to refine my Yang essence." Yang Shi''s slowly said, but his face was still pressed again''s Bai Ruxue''s chest.

    " In this position?" Bai Ruxue blushed as he scoffed.

    " Why not?" Yang Shi replied.

    " You..." Bai Ruxue became speechless as she started to circte her Jade Empyrean Heavenly Technique.

    Yang Shi didn''t actually mindlessly doing sex with her. During the moment, He circted the Yang qi from his Nine Saints Extreme Yang Skeleton as he poured it into Bai Ruxue''s body.

    Although Jade Empyrean Heavenly Technique is an Immortal grade technique of Yin element, Yang Shi''s Yang qi can help it to refine her Yin qi at a faster rate.

    Yin and Yang are both opposites elements. They have a nature of duality. They repel each other, but one can''t stay without another. If Bai Ruxue absorbs the Yang qi from Yang Shi, it willplement her Jade Yin qi, and her cultivation will improve. It''s like medicine, a small dose helps a body, but the overdose may harm it.

    As for Yang Shi, he used the ability of Crimson Lily to draw out the Jade Yin qi as he fed it to his Immemorial Evil Yin Veins. It was a cycle of Yin and Yang,plementing Both Yang Shi and Bai Ruxue.

    Jade Empyrean Heavenly Technique transforms Spiritual qi into Jade Yin qi as it''s one of the best energies for women to cultivate. As Bai Ruxue has Nine Yin Empyrean Physique, her cultivation would improve at a faster rate.

    After a few hours, Yang Shi stopped cultivating as he got up.

    " Ruxue, For now, take some rest." Yang Shi softly said as he saw Bai Ruxue was cultivating diligently. Bai Ruxue opened her eyes as she said, " Incredible, I have already reached the peak of the sixth stage." She sighed

    Yang Shi''s expression turned a bit odd as he thought, " Although she has an Imperial physique and Immortal grade technique, It''s was faster than mine. Heck, could it be my divine body is a fake?" He couldn''t help but be depressed. He was also concerned for his foundation roots.

    But it only fueled his desire to cultivate even more.

    Yang Shi got up and dressed. It wasn''t morning yet, but the darkness has faded mostly. Yang Shi sat on the armchair as he thought many things.

    First of all, the martial arts of earth. Yang Shi finally realized that these martial arts were actually the primal versions of daoist arts. As Earth never had spiritual qi, one can never practice any daoist technique.

    Internal energy is also very thin in a martial artist, so it can''t be used as external energy. So martial artist found their own way to seek the dao. Internal energy is mostly seven types, Fire, Water, Earth, Wood, Metal, Yin, and Yang.

    Although they can manipte this energy and condense it outside of their body as cultivators do, they use it to strengthen their bodies internally. As for how they utilize the power of the five elements, it''s very simple.

    For example, there is a martial art called Fiery Palm. Although it sounds like sending palm shaped fire out of the hand, martial artists can''t do that. But to achieve a simr effect, they revolve their internal energy at a faster rate, as it heats their palm like a boiling pot. Thus, it bes Fiery Palm, but of course, without any fire.

    Wood energy is used by those who lived in mountain and forest, as their body has an affinity with the wood element. They usually grow medicinal herbs and practice traditional medical power.

    But each and every martial art was created out of pure inspiration and enlightenment. It was acknowledged by thews of the world of Earth.

    Yang Shi realized that martial art and Internal energy techniques are basically a car without gas. When it gets fuel and a few adjustments, It can be heavenly techniques.

    Martial arts are likews or the bricks of techniques, while spiritual daoist techniques are the sky-reaching buildings. If Yang Shi was able to grasp the bricks, what structure he can''t build?

    " Each seeks their dao. Since Samsara Emperor walked on his own path, why should I walk on his path? True experts pave their path and seek their own dao." Yang Shi closed his eyes as he mumbled.

    He opened his eyes and took out a tattered book. It was none other than the manual of Earth Dragon Fist. Yang Shi began to read it with utmost focus.

    But even after reading it two times, he couldn''t see anything special.

    It was the story of an ordinary farmer. One day, he was plowing thend, when the ground suddenly shook violently as a huge fissure formed. With a loud roar, a gigantic dragon emerged as it soared to the sky. Its scales were like mountain rocks as they ovepped each other. Its eyes were a golden yellow color, with vertical pupils.

    The farmer was frightened out of wits as he immediately knelt as he prayed to the earth dragon.

    The dragon soared to the sky as it floated among the clouds.

    " Human, Although you are a mortal, your reverence has pleased me. Tell me, what you wish for?" The dragon looked down at the farmer as he asked in a proud voice.

    " Oh great heavenly dragon, please bless me and my family with good fortune." The farmer kowtowed as he cried.

    " Indeed, aspiration of a mortal. Very well, I will give you, two opportunities." The dragon''s voice boomed as it spat on the ground.

    " I have bestowed thisnd with my saliva. For a hundred years, thisnd will be the most fertilend of this region. Not to mention, there are also some rare ores, where I was sleeping."

    " As for the second opportunity, it depends on your fate." The dragonughed as a beam of light from his head went to the forehead of the farmer. The farmer became aghast as he fainted from extreme fear.

    " Finally, I have paid my debt. Bestowing such a little fortune isn''t much. I should go now." The dragon again roared as it disappeared in clouds."

    When the farmer woke up, the dragon wasn''t there. He thought that it was a mere dream, but the huge pit in the ground smacked him to reality. He also realized a strange set of attacking stances is in his mind.

    The farmer tried to practice the fist techniques, but due tocking spiritual qi andprehension, but he failed every time. Although the stances were described, Yang Shi was sure that they couldn''t be practiced in this way.

    In the end, the farmer started to mine ores and plow thend and became a rich merchant, due to the dragon''s blessing. Then, the book ended.

    Yang Shi rubbed his forehead as he thought about the story. He thought that this book was made from some special material, he even tried elemental qi and spiritual qi to fuse in it. But it was only an ordinary book.

    " My sense was really overreacting?" Yang Shi was vexed. But suddenly his eyes shed as he read everything again. He took the book and ripped its cover. Then he parted the pages, which are stuck together.

    " No wonder." Yang Shi''s felt that he finally found a way.

 Chapter 208: Problem of Foundation Roots

    Chapter 208: Problem of Foundation Roots

    Yang Shi realized that the book''s papers weren''t separated at all. It''s like a scroll which was stacked like book pages. If one doesn''t take off the cover page, he won''t realize that the left end of the page is simply glued.

    When Yang Shi carefully began to unfold it, it became a meter-long scroll. Yang Shi tried to read the lines vertically. Then his expression changed.

    The vertical lines looked like incantations as it was the spiritual qi cirction method for Earth Dragon Fist. Just from looks, it''s a Heaven grade martial art. It has nine fist stances.

    But when Yang Shi read it fully, his face turned odd. Out of the first two stances, the remaining ones can be used by those who have a dragon bloodline.

    " Anyway, Let''s check the first stance."

    Yang Shi read it as his eyes sparkled with interest as he read it. This is the type of technique he wanted. Its name was Earthquake Fist.

    " No wonder. Using earth qi to strengthening your fist. When you attack, it will be like the ground quaking as it will fully crush your opponent." Yang Shi understood. As his Earth Monarch Seal was filled by oneyer, Yang Shi can use Earth qi a bit.

    Cultivators can use any type of element as they can transform spiritual qi into elemental qi with the appropriate incantations. But purely using elemental qi out of nothing is much difficult. Either one has toprehend the intent of elements or one needs to have a special physique.

    Yang Shi''s Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body Art is the same as having unique physiques. It''s an Immortal grade body refining art that can even control five elements at a whim. Yang Shi activated his Earth Monarch Seal as a faint brown qi surged in his arm.

    He clenched his fist as he felt his arm was getting heavier. He pulled back a little as he threw the punch into the thin air.

    *BOOM*

    It was like a low thunderp as the air rumbled. The wall a few feet ahead of him cracked from the aftershock. Although Yang Shi''s trial was very crude, he was satisfied with the power. " If I fully practice it, I can make my body a powerful weapon. Hmm, I can also try to modify a bit." Yang Shi mused as he practiced Earthquake Fist.

    Earthquake Fist is a versatile technique. It can be adjusted ording to the user''s will. After practicing for a while, Yang Shi sat back on the chair and thought about his next strategy.

    " I can try to condense pce foundation again. But if I fail again, I must think of another way." Yang Shi''s mood turned bitter. He still remembers how his foundation pce cracked. Yang Shi thought something as he activated his divine sense as he probed his foundation roots.

    When his divine sense touched the pce roots, Yang Shi suddenly felt his body turning cold as he saw something like ck and the purplish liquid was crawling in it.

    " Holy shit! What the actual fuck is this?" Yang Shi''s hair stood on its end as he remembered something which he has long forgotten. Back then, when he finally opened his dantian and ascended to Spiritual Ascension Realm, this ck and purple thing obstructed him.

    Thankfully, Samsara Emperor''s golden seal saved him at that time. Otherwise, he might have died that day. Yang Shi''s eyes shrunk as he remembered from Samsara Emperor''s memory.

    " Heaven...Suppression...Divine...Formation." Yang Shi''s body trembled as his face turned pale. He finally connected all dots as he realized why he innatelycked a Primordial Spirit or Spirit blood and his broken foundation roots.

    " Pfttt! HAHAHAHA." Yang Shi couldn''t help butugh in self mockery. " Yang Shi, oh Yang Shi... Did you really think that you will be invincible after having Samsara Emperor''s memory?"

    " Haha, The heavens! They really crushed you. Ahahahah." Yang Shi couldn''t help butugh in a twisted manner. He realized that there is no way to solve this problem.

    Heaven Suppression Divine Formation, just like its name, it''s one of the world''s top five ancient formations. It''s a unique mechanism, whichbines the dao of formations and curse. It''s a grand formation from the ancient era, capable of imprisoning gods and demons. Gods and Demons are not just metaphors.

    The Heaven Suppression Divine Formation can easily suppress any of the mythical beings, who are even in the peak of the second or maybe the third circle of the cultivation cycle. It''s even more terrifying than Jin Yu''s Sky Corroding Evil Immortal Curse.

    The first cultivation cycle, Qi Condensation Realm, Spiritual Ascension Realm, Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm, Violet Pce Expansion Realm, Origin Core Formation Realm, Nirvana Realm, Grand Revolution Realm, True Enlightenment Realm, Heavenly Transformation Realm.

    As for the Second cycle, it''s much more powerful than the first circle of the cultivation cycle. For a formation that was able to imprison them, and even turn them into powerless beings, it''s worth carrying the name of Heaven Suppression.

    " But why? Who someone used this godforsaken formation to suppress my body?" Yang Shi felt he was going to be mad. At this rate, he better forget to reach the Violet Pce Expansion Realm.

    " Long Xian... Your family is indeed great. Hahaha, Just wait my brother. I will have your revenge." Yang Shi sneered maliciously. Then he took few deep breaths to calm his heart.

    Yang Shi couldn''t help but taking out one of his handmade cigarette and started to smoke.

    " Nevermind. I guess I should stop the path of qi cultivation and focus on body refining. Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body Art is the same as Immortal ss body refining method."

    " With the pinnacles of all seals, I can achieve the same strength as a Heavenly Transformation Realm cultivator." Yang Shi scratched his head as he fell into thoughts.

    " But it''s still strange. I think the suppression is only in my foundation roots. Samsara Emperor''s Seal destroyed most of the curse, so the remaining ones gathered in my foundation roots."

    " Hah, what a crafty bastard. As long as it remains in my foundation pce, I can never reach Violet Pce Expansion Realm." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Wait, Actually... What if...I destroy the roots?" Yang Shi suddenly thought.

    " Are you crazy?" Suddenly, Jin Yu spoke within.

    " Ah, You are awake." Yang Shi asked.

    " Yes, I have been refining the curse all along. Thankfully to the sudden increase of strange energy, the curse has reduced quite a bit." Jin Yu said.

    " Nheless, You still can destroy your pce roots. If you destroy it, you will never be able to cultivate the Violet Pce Expansion Realm." Jin Yu snorted.

    " Even if I don''t destroy, it will be still impossible to cultivate Violet Pce Expansion Realm." Yang Shi bit his lips from frustration.

    " Hmm, Why don''t you try the strange energy of yours?" It can even cleanse my Evil Immortal Curse." Jin Yu suddenly said.

    " Well..." Yang Shi''s eyes brightened. Indeed, there is no problem trying it. Even if he fails, he will just abandon this path forever.

    " Hehe, Miss Jin is really smart." Yang Shi praised.

    " Hehe, then why don''t you take me to some good ce to eat? It''s been a while since I ate anything tasty." Jin Yu chuckled.

    " Sure." Yang Shi didn''t mind as he nodded happily.

 Chapter 209: Xiaowens Determination

    Chapter 209: Xiaowen''s Determination

    Yang Shi was thinking about this when suddenly his attention was piqued as he heard some strange noise. It was a very smooth metallic noise. Yang Shi''s senses are already enhanced due to his divine sense, so he can listen to it.

    " Interesting." Yang Shi thought as he left his room and followed the sound. It wasing from the northern courtyard. Yang Shi followed it as he reached the courtyard.

    It was almost dawn. A faint red could be seen in the eastern sky. At that time, a shadowy figure was drawing the sword from his scabbard. The figure drawing out his sword, then sheathing back. It was just like a cycle. But Yang Shi could feel a profound rhythm in it.

    The figure suddenly stopped as he looked at Yang Shi. " Ah, It''s junior brother Yang." The shadowy figure was none other than Mo Xiaowen. He was covered in sweat, but one could feel a subtle aura around him.

    " Elder Brother is practicing sword drawing? Is it to stabilize yourprehension of sword intent?" YangShi asked curiously.

    " Haha, Brother Yang is wise. I usually draw a thousand times every day. I hope I can reach the peak of initial stage sword intent." Mo Xiaowen chuckled.

    Intents are divided into four stages- Initial, Minor. Advance and High. Each stage is divided into three sub-parts- Low, Mid, Peak. Only reaching Violet Pce Expansion Realm, one canprehend the intents.

    Once someone grasps the intent, they can borrow the power of heaven and earth to directly control that element, with minimal use of spiritual qi. Sword intent is very difficult to cultivate. Not to mention how young Mo Xiaowen is really a genius toprehend till the middle stage of Initial grade sword intent.

    " Seems brother Xiaowen mastered a high tier Earth grade sword technique," Yang Shi said. Mo Xiaowne''s eyes narrowed as he was a bit shocked.

    " Indeed, Actually, as an inner disciple of Thousand Sword Pavilion, I could have easily chosen a Heaven grade technique. But I took this Earth grade technique, [Boundless Sword Stance]" Mo Xiaowen was amused.

    " It''s a very strange technique. Rather than practicing more fearsome moves, this technique polishes the basics of sword attacks. Once someone polished their basics, they can use their sword as their will. It won''t be restricted by any technique, but your heart." Mo Xiaowenughed.

    " Hehe, Brother Xiaowen is taking risk. But then, if one doesn''t follow heart, how can they be considered as cultivators?" YangShi shook his head.

    " Indeed." Mo Xiaowen''s eyes brightened.

    " Anyway, since we met, I have a favor to ask brother Xiaowen." Yang Shi smiled mysteriously. He waved his hand as a longsword appeared.

    " Oh?" Mo Xiaowen''s face turned odd, but after hearing Yang Shi''s word, he nodded, " I hope brother Yang won''t regret it."

    .......................................

    Today was a huge asion for Mo n. They are conducting their annual martial artspetition. The rules are simple, a duel of five rounds. The one who wins the most will be the number one. But of course, the prizes this year were even more appealing.

    Since the Mysterious Spirit Realm is going to open, fierce fights are happening in every great n and sect. All eight powerhouses are given 200 quotas. The royal family has around 400 quotas.

    If adding other powers, each time the Mysterious Spirit Realm opens, at least a few thousand people go from Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. Not to mention, people from other kingdoms alsoe there.

    But the mortality rate is very high there. More than half of people nevere back from Mysterious Spirit Realm. But then, the rewards are so bountiful that even Origin Core Realm experts would salivate. Thousand year old herbs, Ancient techniques, and weapons that can shake the heavens, who won''t risk their lives for these?

    As for the additional prize, the top five disciples will get Foundation Building Pill. It will help them to increase their chances of reaching Violet Pce Expansion Realm. But of course, Yang Shi doesn''t need such a pill as it can''t help him in the current situation.

    The disciples already started to draw lots. Of course, Mo Yi also drew one. But it turned out to be a nk one. It meant that he can go to the second round directly. Mo Yi couldn''t help but click his tongue. He went back to his seat as he saw Yang Shi and Bai Ruxuee.

    Mo Yi was happy but he was also startled as Yang Shi''s body looked like he was wounded. He could feel that Yang Shi was a bit dispirited. " Brother Yang, is everything is okay?" Mo Yi asked.

    " Yes, Everything is fine. It''s just that I need a bit more sleep." Yang Shi shook his head as he coughed lightly. " You didn''t sleep wellst night?" Mo Yi''s face was strange as he looked at Bai Ruxue then looked again at Yang Shi. YangShi instantly understood the meaning as he barked angrily, " Stupid brat! The hell you are thinking?"

    " Hehehe." Mo Yi couldn''t help butugh in a perverted manner. But then, he cried in sharp pain as someone twisted his ears.

    " Ow! Liu Jie, stop!" Mo Yi couldn''t help but shout. " Hmph! Shouldn''t you focus on your duel? Why are you loitering around?" Liu Jie spat. " I..." Mo Yi couldn''t help but feel wronged. " Haha, Little Brother. You should listen to junior sister Liu." Mo Xiaowenughed as he also arrived.

    " Ahh! Brother! Save me from this madwoman!" Mo Yi couldn''t help but scream. " Who are you calling Madwoman?!" Liu Jie''s face turned dark as she punched Mo Yi''s face.

    Mo Xiaowenughed as his face turned a little weird as he looked at his own palm. There was a slight cut on it, although it''s already healed. Mo Xiaowen couldn''t help but look at Yang Shi.

    The duel happened briskly as it''s already the third round. Mo Yi got a nk card three times in a row. Then in the fourth round, he easily defeated his fellow nsman. After all, Mo Yi already reached the eighth stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm. So his strength can be considered as one of the top among the junior generation of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom.

    As he also mastered the first two stances of his Sky Incineration Sword Art, so he was almost invincible in the same realm, not to mention his Imperial grade Primordial Spirit.

    But Yang Shi was more interested as he looked at another figure. It was none other than Mo Xiang, who almost reached the peak of the Seventh stage. He also seems to level up his battle technique. Overall, his progress was considerable.

    " Heh, could it be that his fighting spirit was ignited after I beat himst time?" Yang Shi couldn''t help but be amused. But in his mind, he was fully focusing on a whole different subject.

    " Just a bit more. I have almost grasped it." Yang Shi murmured. It was almost afternoon. The final match was between Mo Yi and another Mo n disciple. Mo Yi summoned his primordial spirit as he fought with him. After a while, Mo Yi won easily and secured first ce.

 Chapter 210: Duel Between Brothers

    Chapter 210: Duel Between Brothers

    Thepetition concluded as Mo Qian distributed the rewards. Mo Yi dly took his Foundation Building Pill and twenty spirit stones. Yang Shi''s eyes couldn''t help but glue at those spirit stones. The core disciples of any n or sect mostly get five to ten spirit stones per year as the spirit stones are very scarce here.

    What''s more, Spirit stone is more used by Violet Pce Expansion Realm experts. So only a sparse amount of it was given to Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators.

    Yang Shi truly wonders if he should really join the Golden Fire Tower. Till now, he is only like a guest elder. So only if he can be a permanent core elder, he can get quite a bit of spirit stones.

    " Haah, let''s not think about that." Yang Shi congratted Mo Yi. " Brother Yang, You see, I was thinking if, you can apany us to the Mysterious Spirit Realm?" Mo Yi suddenly asked.

    " Hmm." Yang Shi didn''t expect this sudden question as he truly began to ponder. He felt he should definitely visit the Mysterious Spirit Realm. Countless opportunities are waiting for him. There are many ways he can enter the Mysterious Spirit Realm.

    " There are still two months till the opening of Mysterious Spirit Realm. I will think about itter." Yang Shi shook his head.

    " You don''t understand. The reason why only people below Violet Pce Expansion Realm go there is because of the special ancient qi. If a Ninth stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator go there and use a Foundation Building Pill, the chances of reaching the Violet Pce Expansion Realm is almost 90%" Mo Yi exined.

    " Litle brother, You don''t need to worry about junior brother Yang. I am sure he must have his own ns." Mo Xiaowen suddenly intervened as he looked deeply at Yang Shi.

    " Hehe, Brother Xiaowen is overpraising me." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Anyway, since everything is over, I hope brother Yang can meet me up at midnight." Mo Yi suddenly said. Yang Shi''s face turned odd as he looked at Mo Yi with a vignt gaze.

    " Brother Mo, I think you should keep your heat in check. Although you and sister Jie aren''t married yet..." Yang Shi hurriedly tried to exin.

    "..." Mo Yi became speechless as his face flushed with anger. " The fuck you thinking?! I was asking you to duel with me privately. Of course, We will do when there is no one around." Mo Yi spat.

    " Ahhh, that''s the case. Heh, brother Mo doesn''t have any work at night, but that doesn''t mean that I am also free?" Yang Shi couldn''t help but click his tongue.

    " Brother Yang, men should preserve their energy and do more productive work." Mo Yi said in a vexed tone. Yang Shi shrugged in response. I still have some responsibility for my woman, no? Yang Shi murmured.

    Thankfully, Bai Ruxue was talking with Liu Jie in a distance. Anyway, I hope brother Yang would keep his words." Mo Yiughed. " Sure." Yang Shi agreed as he too wanted to polish his power.

    " Ah yes! Brother Yang, be ready tomorrow. The auction of the Hundred Gold Pavilion will start tomorrow. I don''t need to say much as you already have your invitation card." Mo Yi reminded Yang Shi.

    " Ahh! I almost forgot about that." Yang Shi suddenly eximed. He had some things which he was thinking to sell there.

    Yang Shi nodded as he returned to his room. He sat on his bed as he started his cultivation. He wanted to see if his Chaos qi can refine away the evil curse in his Foundation Roots. The Chaos qi rumbled in his body as Yang Shi concentrated it around his Foundation Roots.

    The ck liquid squirmed as it suddenly shrunk as the Chaos qi swirled around it. The Chaos qi swallowed the Foundation roots and the ck liquid began to crackle. A very tiny portion of it got separated as it was vaporized. But after that, it has no noticeable changes.

    Yang Shi''s face became shocked as he realized that the Chaos qi can''t erode the ck liquid. " Shouldn''t Chaos qi suppose to refine all energies? Why it''s unable to do so?" Yang Shi became confused. But then he realized the crux of the method.

    The Heaven Suppression Divine Formation can easily affect thews of Heaven and earth. Once marked by it, a person can''t escape, no matter where he goes.

    Since Yang Shi doesn''t understand the concepts of variousws, he can''t use Chaos qi significantly to refine this aura of Heaven Suppression Divine Formation. So, for now, this method is useless.

    Yang Shi felt his heart ache as hey over the bed dejectedly.

    " I guess, other than destroying the Foundation roots and following the path of Body refinement, I don''t have any other choice." Yang Shi cursed in his heart. But at this moment, he doesn''t have any choice.

    " But no matter what, I must expel this piece of shit. Mysterious Spirit Realm! Yes, there must be something I can use." Yang Shi became determined.

    When Bai Ruxue came back, she saw that Yang Shi has already fallen asleep on the bed. She couldn''t help but smile warmly as she sat beside him. She caressed his face as Bai Ruxue''s face came closer to his. bUt suddenly she felt a force pushing her forward as her lips were locked with Yang Shi''s.

    " Mnnfff..." Bai Ruxue struggled, but Yang Shi''s arms were already wrapped around her body. Bai Ruxue felt Yang Shi''s tongue ying in her mouth, making her body dizzy. Her lips finally separated as she panted lightly.

    " You master! You are so evil. You didn''t sleep at all." Bai Ruxue pouted in dissatisfaction. " Heh, my body almost got molested by ady. How am I going to face society?" Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Pah pah! Who is getting molested? It''s young master molesting me." Bai Ruxue snorted as she struggled to break free. " Fine. I am the bad guy molesting a beautiful girl. Hehe, now, what are you going to do?" Yang Shi smiled evilly as he suddenly grabbed the twin peaks of Bai Ruxue.

    Bai Ruxue gasped, but she didn''t stop the actions of Yang Shi. They kissed wildly as their clothes became less. Yang Shi suddenly shook his head as his eyes regained some rity. He could feel both of their body is heating from the passion.

    " Mm, Ruxue, not today. I have some works to do." Yang Shi mumbled as he rolled over the bed, hugging Bai Ruxue.

    " But you are the one who started it first." Bai Ruxue couldn''t help but protest. " Mydy, Don''t worry. I wille back fast." Yang Shi smiled helplessly. He hurriedly got up and dressed again and went to look for Mo Yi.

    It was the dueling tform where everyone from Mo n dueled. The moon already reached the middle of the sky. From the scattered moonlight, Yang Shi can see Mo Yi''s figure standing on the tform.

    " Ah1 Brother Yang. You are on time." Mo Yiughed as he beckoned Yang Shi. Yang Shi nodded as he went on the dueling tform. He saw a gray token in Mo Yi''s hand, which Mo Yi activated.

    The pirs around the dueling tform lightened up as runes shed all over the tform. It created a faint shield around the dueling tform. Yang Shi was surprised as he looked at Mo Yi.

    " It''s a formation, Brother Yang. Nobody outside will hear anything happens here." Mo Yi chuckled. Then he looked at Yang Shi and said, " You know brother Yang, I always wanted to spar with you. From the first time we have met, we have both grown powerful."

    " You gave me a new motivation and ignited my fighting spirit. So, why not have a duel to see who is superior?" Mo Yiughed.

    Yang Shi was stunned but he burst outughing. He pulled out his Heaven Cmity as he said, " Are you going to waste your time only in talking?" Mo Yi smiled as he shook his head. With a flick, his Sky Incineration Sword appeared.

    Both disappeared from their positions as the wind howled in the arena.

    *CLANGGGG*

    The sword and the saber collided as they produced sparks. Mo Yi''sughter became louder and louder as he crazily swung his sword. He longed for such an exciting battle, so Mo Yi was going all out.

    " Primordial Spirit, Appear! Cloud Inciniration sh!" Mo Yi shouted as his Heavenly zing Stallion appeared behind him. His sword glowed with ming light as he shed at Yang Shi.

    " Seems we don''t need to hold back." Yang Shi snorted as his eyes turned azure. He summoned his Azure Lotus spirit and attacked. His saber began to hum as Yang Shi lost himself in the battle.

    " Gold Split!" The saber glowed with golden light as it zapped at Mo Yi. Both of their attacks collided, making a powerful impact. The ground cracked from the spiritual qi impact.

    " Tiger Descends from Mountain!"

    " Hundred Wave Sword sh!"

    Yang Shi swung his saber as twisted his body. The sudden movement caught Mo Yi off guard, resulting in a wound on his stomach.

    " Haah, Let''s finish this in one move." Mo Yi wiped blood as he looked at Yang Shi. Yang Shi was also sweating, but his eyes were burning with fighting spirit.

    Yang Shi closed his eyes as he held his saber in vertical form. He could feel he was understanding something, but not fully.

    " Sword Cuts Nine Jade!" Mo Yi roared as he charged at Yang Shi.

 Chapter 211: Heaven Calamitys Past

    Chapter 211: Heaven Cmity''s Past

    Mo Yi almost attacked Yang Shi, but he suddenly stopped. He saw Yang Shi was standing still, holding his saber. There were no spiritual qi fluctuations.

    " Could it be... Brother Yang is having a moment of enlightenment?" Mo Yi became shocked.

    Yang Shi''s felt a strange resonance with his saber. It was as if the saber was trying tomunicate with him. Yang Shi fully used his divine sense as he tried to connect with the saber.

    " Use...me...properly..."

    Yang Shi was startled as he heard these words. He carefully felt the saber. The moment he got this saber, he knew that this is a very unusual saber. Maybe it''s a powerful weapon, which got reduced to this state. But its feeling, its intent, still remains in it.

    Yang Shi felt the dragon and tiger engraving on the saber move. The blood gem on the hilt glowed with blood-red light. Yang Shi''s eyes twitched as he began to see something.

    It was a vast field with no end in sight. The cloud of dust rose as blood sttered. A man holding a giant saber roared withughter as he swung his saber.

    The saber was like a tiger''s roar, one can hear its cry.

    " Situ Nan! You demon! Just how many people you are going to kill?!" An Old man roared as a golden halo appeared behind him.

    " Kill? I don''t want to kill. I just want everyone, TO FEAR ME!" Situ Nanughed as he casually swung his saber. Yang Shi''s eyes shrunk as he saw there was no spiritual fluctuation. But a huge phantom of saber came straight at the old man.

    Thend was cut apart like a knife slicing through it. Yang Shi could feel an unparallel intent rising from the saber as it cut through the earth. The old man''s face turned red with anger as a used a shield to block that attack.

    " When I raise the saber, even heaven needs to bow! What is a saber? The weapon of a tyrant demon!" Situ Nanughed wildly.

    " Battle Saber Monarch! Cease your actions. Do you want to make an enemy of the whole world?!" Another young man appeared as he shouted. In his hands, there was a beautiful jade sword, which was emitting holy light.

    " Making the whole world my enemy? Hah, As I care about that. Nothing will stop me to chase my Dao." Situ Nan shook his head. He raised his saber as he shouted,

    " Skyline Annihtion!"

    The saber roared as thends trembled. A huge amount of saber aura gathered as it shoot out like a rampaging ancient beast. The young man with a jade sword frowned as he attacked Situ Nan.

    " Imperial Sword Technique- The Arrival of Dawn." The young man shouted. His jade sword became bright like a sun as a beam of light charged at Situ Nan.

    " Sword techniques of Nangong Imperial Family? HAH! Let''s see if your sword is really good!"

    " The Judgement of Tyrant!" Situ Nan roared as a giant image of a titan appeared behind him. His saber became a streak of light as it became a heavenly saber of three hundred meters in length.

    Situ Nan wielded it as he pleased as he made a twisted cut. The light rays assembled a giant white tiger as it leaped at the young man.

    The tiger waved its paws as it blocked the sword sh of that young man. The tiger didn''t stop as it charged at the young man.

    " ROAAAAR!" The tiger opened its mouth as it bite down. The burst of energy made the young man pale as he coughed a mouthful of blood, His body got sted back at least a dozen of miles.

    The old man with the divine halo was already afraid of Situ Nan. After looking at the miserable appearance of the young man, he abandoned all hope as he pulled out a scroll.

    " Hoh? Is that a Dao Weapon?" Situ Nan''s eyes narrowed as he looked at the scroll. " Situ Nan, if you don''t let me go, Then I will use our Progenitor''s Dao Weapon! You want to face it? You dare!" The old man shouted.

    " It contains the aura of Sovereign? Hah! Let''s test its might!" Situ Nan''s eyes became serious as he raised his saber. The sky changed its color as dark clouds loomed.

    " Situ Nan! You are too cocky! Now face the wrath of our progenitor''s power! Nine Mystic Painting, Open!" The old man roared as he opened the scroll.

    The radiance illuminated the world like a sun exploding. An image of an old daoist materialized in the thin air as he proudly looked down the world. His robes were gold-threaded, with auspicious phenomenon happening the moment he appeared.

    " Sovereign Zi? Hahaha, although he isn''t here in person, it''s fine. I will find him one day and beat him. For now, Let me see the strength of his Dao weapon!" Situ Nanughed as he turned into a streak of light as he charged at the figure of Sovereign Zi.

    Sovereign Zi''s figure didn''t look like some sort of imitation. Although it''s an image condensed by light, it''spletely alive as it saw Situ Nan charged at him. Sovereign Zi waved his hand as a blinding crescent light shot out. The ground cleaved cleanly as mountains turned to dust.

    Situ Nan''s expression changed as he swung his saber. It shed in a circr manner, creating a shield to block the attack of Sovereign Zi.

    " Haha! Bastard! You can''t escape today!" The old manughed as he looked proudly at Sovereign Zi.

    Situ Nan got pushed back, but he didn''t care. The battle intent in his eyes red as he jumped back. The saber in his hands hummed as he looked at Sovereign Zi.

    " All these years, I have been trying to create my own techniques. After all hardships, I managed to create my saber art. There are eight moves in it, for all purposes. I can finally test my final move on you." Situ Nanughed.

    " Grand Demon Physique! Activate." A powerful aura burst from Situ Nan''s body as the space around him distorted. An image of a giant armored demon ovepped his body. It looked like an ancient demon whose figure can crush the sky.

    Sovereign Zi moved his hand as the energy of the world gathered in his hands. It turned into an illusory sword. It was filled with mysterious runes, which seemed to contain the secrets of heaven.

    The sword fell like a meteor, making heaven and earth tremble. The space was torn apart as void rifts formed. The demonic Situ Nan roared withughter as he said- Final stance! Dragon Tiger Battling the Heaven!"

    The saber zed with golden light as a figure of a dragon and tiger appeared. Generally, these two beats are conflicting in nature, but oncebined, they can crush any powerful beings under the heavens.

    The dragon and tiger roared as they charged at the iing sword of Sovereign Zi. The dragon blocked the sword as the tiger attacked back. The sky lost its color as the attacks collided. The old man holding Nine Mystic Painting coughed a mouthful of blood as his vision red.

    Yang Shi smiled as he saw Situ Nan destroying everything in a radius of hundred miles, including an image of Sovereign Zi.

    " Arrogance, Huh?"

 Chapter 212: Call of Saber

    Chapter 212: Call of Saber

    " No wonder, It''s really the Tyrranical Thunder Saber of Situ Nan." Yang Shi thought. Although the fragment of memory was shown by Yang Shi''s saber, Yang Shi already knew the identity of Situ Nan from the memory of Samsara Emperor.

    Samsara Emperor lived for almost three grand eras, he know everything under heaven. Situ Nanter became a powerhouse even among the second circle of cultivation. His saber technique was also formidable, clearly going above any Heaven Rank technique.

    The vision ended as Yang Shi found himself in space. He was standing in the void, in absolute darkness. Yang Shi stood there ponderingly. He felt after watching that battle, he was about to grasp something important.

    " What does the saber symbolize? Absolute arrogance. Like a tiger unleashing its might. It''s radiant like sun and cold like ice. The saber- The weapon of a tyrant! No techniques, just absolute power." Yang Shi murmured.

    Saber is pretty straightforward and rigid. Just like the saber arts of Earth, which were trained by many martial artists.

    Most of them are people who frequently fought. Be it be army generals or tyrants, they loved saber because it''s overwhelming disposition.

    Each weapon has its own quality, but only the man can disy it.

    " I don''t have the arrogance of Situ Nan, but I have my own pride. Even the calm water can turn into the raging tide, so my heart. From now, You are no longer the Tyrannical Thunder Saber of Mad Saber Situ Nan, but I, Yang Shi''s Heaven Cmity!"

    " Be mypanion and be the lord of cmity!" Yang Shi clenched his fist as he moved. It was as if he was trying to draw something from the empty space, but suddenly, it brightened.

    Yang Shi felt the Azure Lotus Spirit bloom under his feet as he felt something is getting clear in his heart.

    The Heaven Cmity appeared out of thin air as Yang Shi wielded it. The carvings over the saber became clear as it hummed with a pleasant sound.

    " First stance! Gold Split!" Yang Shi made a dozen of golden arcs as he shed out.

    " Second Stance! Tiger Descends from Mountain!" Yang Shi jumped as a faint image of a tiger ovepped his saber. He made continuous shes, like a tiger tearing its prey.

    " Third stance! Mountain Cut! Yang Shi never fully utilized this move as he neverprehended the Saber Intent. But now, he felt like he finally understood it.

    The Heaven Cmity shone with light as a vertical crescent light erupted from it. It went forward like a giant sea wave, splitting anything that came in its path.

    Yang Shi finally realized the power of Mountain Cut. But he became very amused at the Heaven Saber Seven Arts. He wondered at the motives of Old Ghost, who had given him the technique. It''s way too much of a coincidence, right?

    That''s right, The Heaven Saber Seven Arts are derived from the saber techniques created by Situ Nan. The true technique of Situ Nan was inside the Heaven Cmity. But it''s amazing that Old Ghost also has it, although a defective one.

    " Interesting. What is the identity of Old Ghost and Shen Yanyu? Wait, Shen surname... Could it be, They belong to *that/* ce?" Yang Shi''s eyes shone with interest.

    " Nevermind, It''s a very good exercise to merge Samsara Emperor''s memory. Today is indeed a lucky day. I actually managed toprehend the basics of Saber intent." Yang Shi felt he was flying in clouds.

    It''s very rare for even geniuses toprehend any kind of intent before reaching Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Unless one has weapon Primordial Spirit of at least Royal grade, it''s almost impossible.

    But Yang Shi''s Azure Lotus spirit helped him in the crucial moment and heprehended the saber intent. Yang Shi finally exited from the mysterious space as he opened his eyes. But his expression changed as he saw Mo Yi standing with tattered clothes.

    " Brother Mo, Are you alright?" Yang Shi asked in concern. He could see blood seeping from the mouth of Mo Yi.

    " Damn you! Who the hell enters in a state of enlightenment during battle? And you! Actuallyprehended the Saber intent?" Mo Yi couldn''t help but shout in rage.

    " And you utilized all those techniques in real. I didn''t want to interrupt you, but your third move almost killed me." Mo Yi mourned.

    " Hehe, I''m sorry brother Mo. It seems you need to eat a healing pill fast." Yang Shi couldn''t help but be apologetic.

    " I am...fine." Mo Yi shook his head.

    " I lost."

    " Not really. When I was in an immobile state, You could have attacked me." Yang Shi said. " Enemy is never going to stop attacking if he saw you are having enlightenment. On contrary, they won''t hesitate to deploy killer moves instantly."

    " B-but, If you have used that move earlier, You could have won easily." Mo Yi retorted. " Brother Mo, there is no ''if'' in battle. You either live or die." Yang Shi shook his head.

    " Fine, It''s a draw." Mo Yi finally said.

    " Haha, Let''s finish out battle some other day." Yang Shi smiled, but suddenly, he spat a mouthful of blood.

    " Brother Yang! Are you alright?" Mo Yi became rmed.

    " Ugh, I am fine. I think when I awoke the Saber intent, the fierce aura ruptured my inner organs." Yang Shi closed his eyes as he said after thinking. He couldn''t help but smile bitterly inside.

    After all, after his body was baptized by Metal qi, his inner organs are pretty strong. But the burst of Saber intent almost damaged it.

    " Anyway, It''s pretty smallpared to my gains." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Well,e then. We will get treated." Mo Yi waved his hands.

    " But what about the mess here?" Yang Shi looked at the arena. It''s all in ruins due to their battle. "

    "This? Don''t worry about that." Mo Yiughed as he used themand token.

    The courtyard was in ruins after their battle. The duel arena was fully destroyed. It lookedpletely unusable.

    The runes shed again and Yang Shi became surprised. The destroyed arena''s tiles just flipped as they rearranged themselves. It happened in a few minutes. There were no traces of the earlier battle.

    " Well, such formations are pretty impressive, right?" Mo Yi winked. Yang Shi became speechless, but he was relieved to see this.

    " Nobody will notice the anomaly, right?" Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    They both ran back to the Mo n to get some healing pills. They went to the pharmacy where the attendant nearly had a heart attack.

    " Young Master Mo Yi! Noble Yang! Wh-what happened?" They became rmed.

    " Nothing. It''s just some minor injury. Hurry, and give two Golden Restoration Pill." Mo Yi waved his hands. '' And give two packets of Purple ointment."

    " Affirmative." The attendants nodded as they hurriedly gave him the things. After all, Mo Yi''s status can make him arrogant throughout the whole Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom.

    Yang Shi bade him farewell as he went back to his room.

    " Eh?" Bai Ruxue didn''t sleep as she was cultivating, but seeing Yang Shi, she became shocked.

    " Young Master! Are you alright?" She hurriedly asked as he saw Yang Shi''s appearance.

    " Well, All good I guess. Don''t worry about it. Ouch, it''s aching." YangShi cried in pain as hey on the bed.

    " Uhh, Ruxue, help me to use this ointment." Yang Shi asked Bai Ruxue as he handed her the Purple Ointment. He took off all of his clothes as hey naked on his back.

    Bai Ruxue blushed slightly, but seeing the wounds on him, she quickly applied the ointment over him.

    " Golden Restoration Pill? I shouldn''t use this now."

 Chapter 213: Auction Day

    Chapter 213: Auction Day

    " Young master, why were you fighting so seriously against Brother Mo Yi? It was just a friendly spar." Bai Ruxue snorted lightly, From her toe, she really cared about Yang Shi.

    " Friendly spar? Be it thepetitions in sects or the duels in the n, they are nothing more than some show." Yang Shiughed coldly. " It''s like clown prancing around, with some shiny techniques. I feel if you draw out your weapon, it must serve its purpose."

    " Only unleashing your full power, you can understand your potential." Yang Shi said.

    " But you got yourself injured, no?" Bai Ruxue rebuked.

    " Uhh..." Yang Shi remained silent.

    " But young master, what about your inner injuries? This Purple Ointment will only hear your body injuries." Bai Ruxue asked suddenly.

    " I am thinking of letting my inner injuries heal on their own." Yang Shi said after some thoughts.

    " I don''t think it''s a good idea. If not treated well, this will be a big problem." Bai Ruxue said.

    " Well, I have backups." Yang Shi hook his head. Since his future path of Qi cultivation is looking bleak for him, he focused more on his Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body Arts.

    " Hmm, I have already formed the embryonic Gold Devil Seal. My me Demon Seal is also almost reached the secondyer. I should hurry and form at least three embryonic seals. Then, I will achieve Three Star Fiend Body."

    " Hmm, I guess, me Demon Seal and Earth Monarch Seal is perfect for me. Or, I can try Wood Spirit Seal instead of me Demon Seal." Yang Shi pondered.

    The Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body Art was an Immortal grade body refining technique. Itsplexity is also high. Completing three embryonic seals grants the Three Star Fiend Body. It can rival the Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators.

    But choosing the three seals for the Three Star Fiend Body is tricky. It''s not fixed which three should be used. Commonly, cultivators choose pairs ofplementing attributes, like - me, Metal, Earth or Water, Wood, and Earth.

    But choosing conflicting elements has its own benefits and harm. First, it''s hard to stabilize the opposing elements. Most cultivators choose one or two elements to cultivate. So, it''s difficult for them to bnce conflicting elements.

    But the harder the technique, the greater is its power. Fully cultivating the Primordial Fiend Tyrant Body Art will allow Yang Shi to crush Heavenly Sovereign stage cultivators by sheer physical power.

    " Wood Spirit Seal will give me the power of Wood Elements. It can be used for healing, alchemy. The wood element is a more supportive type, so the majority of cultivators don''t cultivate this. But it''s best for those, who are walking on the path of alchemy, beast taming, or any kind of supportive role.

    Yang Shi already had Gold Devil Seal for both offense and defense. He was choosing Wood Spirit Seal to have a healing ability. In terms of healing, no one can Wood element is best. As for Earth Monarch Seal, Yang Shi chose it over me Demon Seal because it''s the same attribute as Gold Devil Seal.

    Both will suppress the Wood Spirit Seal as both metal and fire elements oppose the wood. Earth element, on the other hand, is pretty much neutral. So Yang Shi decided to cultivate these two seals.

    Yang Shi focused on his Wood Spirit Seal as he drew wood energy from it and circted through his body. A green colored qi flowed out from the Wood Spirit Seal as it spread through his body. Yang Shi could feel a tingling sensation as the wood qi wrapped around his wounded organ.

    Yang Shi could feel his inner wounds were getting healed by the wood qi. But the process is much slower. Yang Shi didn''t discourage as he continuously used the Wood Spirit Seal. Bai Ruxue finished applying the Purple Ointment.

    " Young Master, You feeling any better?" Bai Ruxue asked. " Well, My body is feeling fine." Yang Shi nodded. He decided not to use the Golden Restoration Pill.

    " Mm, Bai Ruxue,e here." Yang Shi pulled Bai Ruxue to his arms as he cuddled her. " Hnngh, Young master, you are injured." Bai Ruxue pouted.

    " Well, I have enough strength to make you submit." Yang Shi smirked as he pushed down Bai Ruxue.

    " Ouch!" Yang Shi suddenly hissed as he felt some pain around his ribs. Bai Ruxue was startled, " Young master, just take some rest. You are not fully healed yet."

    " Yeh, I guess." Yang Shi''s face turned stiff as he became embarrassed. " Heh, Who was just saying that he has enough strength to make me submit?" Bai Ruxue couldn''t help butugh. Yang Shi buried his head in the pillow as he pretended to sleep.

    " Damn it." He couldn''t help but silently curse in his heart as he continued to use his Wood Spirit Seal.

    The next day, Yang Shi woke up early as he went to check Mo Yi''s condition.

    " Haha! Brother Yang, I am so happy." Mo Yi couldn''t help butugh in joy. " Eh? What happened?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

    " Well, Afterst night''s spar, I achieved a breakthrough in my sword art. For now, I am able to produce three sword lights. When I will able to condense nine sword lights, I will be able toprehend the Sword intent." Mo Yi said.

    " Sword Intent, huh?" Yang Shi muttered. Actually, that day, Yang Shi went to Mo Xiaowen for this very reason. He witnessed the power of his Sword Intent, thus got injured a bit.

    He dared to spar with Mo Xiaowen, to gain enlightenment. But all he was able to do was a slight cut on the Mo Xiaowen''s palm. But he wasn''t sad as Mo Xiaowen''s strength was a whole another realm. But with a strange stroke of fortune, he managed toprehend the Saber Intent before he could cultivate the Sword Intent.

    " Well, I guess I still need to wait to cultivate the sword intent. But that''s eptable as I am really not doing any assassination mission at the moment." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    " Well, Let''s hope that you will be able to cultivate Sword Intent like your Elder Brother." Yang Shi nodded.

    " True." Mo Yi nodded. " I will show this to Liu Jie. Hehe, I want to see her reaction." Mo Yi couldn''t help but smile evilly.

    " Ah yes, Today is the day of the auction at the Hundred Gold Pavilion. Brother Yang. we should hurry." Mo Yi suddenly said.

    " But it''s still morning?" Yang Shi was confused. " Well, there is more than you think." Mo Yiughed.

 Chapter 214: Information of Mysterious Spirit Realm

    Chapter 214: Information of Mysterious Spirit Realm

    " Brother Yang, you must know that this special auctiones once in ten years. Lots of people would try to auction their items. Naturally, the Hundred Gold Pavilion will only auction top grade artifacts, but they also can''t refuse the mass to auction their items.

    So the Hundred Gold Pavilion made a rule. They dived the auction into two parts. The outer auction is more like a bazaar, where people would sell their items. The Inner auction is the true auction, where only top grade treasures will be sold off.

    " We are currently going to the outer auctions. Who knows, we might find some good items." Mo Yi said.

    " I see." Yang Shi understood. " Brother Yang, you should ask Sister Ruxue toe. Liu Jie and Liu Jiang are alsoing with us." Mo Yi said.

    " Well, Ruxue is still sleeping. We slepttest night." Yang Shi mumbled. Mo Yi became speechless as he heard that. " Brother Yang is sure fierce. Even after getting injured, you had the strength to fight on the bed." Mo Yi couldn''t help but say in amazement.

    " Un. No, Wait..." Yang Shi nodded subconsciously but suddenly realized as he hastily denied it. " Damn, I wish Liu Jie could be like Sister Ruxue." Mo Yi sighed.

    Yang Shi became speechless as he didn''t bicker with Mo Yi anymore. He tidied his clothes as he got ready. Yang Shi and Bai Ruxue finished their tasks as they left the Mo n manor.

    " Hmm, Ruxue, I think we should buy a carriage. It will be convenient for us to move to Azure Wind City." Yang Shi said. Although he has Xiao Hei as a mount, no one can use flying mounts in Azure Wind City without permission. So people use treasure carriages to travel.

    " As youngmaster thinks. But, Walking like this is also fun." Bai Ruxue smiled as she held Yang Shi''s arm. The cultivator''s speed was very fast. So even they were walking, they can move fast as the wind. So having a carriage is like just luxury.

    Soon, They reached the Liu n, where Mo Yi and Liu were standing. " Come, Sister Ruxue. We will go in our family carriage." Liu Jie said happily as she saw Bai Ruxue. Yang Shi and Bai Ruxue entered the carriage.

    The carriage looked much different from the outside. It was almost like arge room. " Interesting. This carriage is erged by spatial formations?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Ah! A benefactor of the Liu n helped to build these. Otherwise, It''s pretty hard to get such spatial formations." Liu Jie sighed.

    " Where is Liu Jiang?" Yang Shi asked.

    " He? Hah! He went earlier to impress some beauties." Liu Jie scoffed.

    " Mm, It''s verymon at his age." Mo Yi added.

    " Not everyone is a pervert like you." Liu Jie snorted. Mo Yi shrugged but said nothing.

    " Does Sister Jie is also nning to venture into the Mysterious Spirit Realm?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Why not? Although that ce is filled with danger, It also holds countless treasures." Liu Jie said. " I want to see what a secret realm looks like."

    " Hmm, Can you say more about the Mysterious Spirit Realm?" Yang Shi asked in interest.

    " Sure." Liu Jie nodded.

    " The Mysterious Spirit Realm has been around forst ten thousand years. As legends say, it was created by a Heavenly Sovereign. Its size alone is vaster than the Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom."

    " Since it''s an independent space, the doorway of Mysterious Spirit Realm appears randomly. The gateways of Mysterious Spirit Realm can appear anywhere in Western Province. The ancestors of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom made a spirit formation, which was able to track the space nodes."

    " So, Once in every 5-10 years, the gates of Mysterious Spirit Realmappears in Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. But each time this appears, even people from surrounding kingdomse rushing." Liu Jie sighed.

    " Hah, Everyone just wants to take a piece of the pie." Mo Yi shook his head. " But thankfully, The Mysterious Spirit Realm has its own governingws. No one above the Violet Pce Expansion Realm can enter the Mysterious Spirit Realm." Mo Yi spoke.

    " However, Since the Mysterious Spirit Realm is full of treasures, Primordial Spirit Realm cultivators use this opportunity to breakthrough to Violet Pce Expansion Realm. But thew doesn''t restrict them." Mo Yi added.

    " Doesn''t that mean one can use an aura hiding treasure to enter the Mysterious Spirit Realm?" Yang Shi became surprised.

    " That''s true. But the problem is, Most aura hiding treasures are useless in front of the worldws of Mysterious Spirit Realm. One would need at least a Quasi Earth grade aura hiding artifact to seed." Mo Yi sighed.

    For Heaven Sovereigns, they stand at the apex of the world. The Heavenly Sovereign of each generation can be counted by the fingers. But nheless, each created their own sect and n, making them standing among the elites.

    They also create dimensional spaces like the Mysterious Spirit Realm as a gift for future generations. They put their inheritance for the chosen ones. So cultivator flocks there to try their luck.

    " But the Mysterious Spirit Realm isn''t the personal abode the Heavenly Sovereign. It''s more like an open world with some trials. If it was truly the immortal abode of the Heavenly Sovereign, all powers of Central City would have monopolized it already." Mo Yi chuckled.

    " What''s more. The Mysterious Spirit Realm has been around for thousands of years. So most treasures are gone already. Although there are many rare items in the Mysterious Spirit Realm, it''s not worthy to get attention from higher stage cultivators.

    " So, It''s more like a trial ground for the younger generation. Though rewards are bountiful." Mo Yiughed.

    " Interesting." Yang Shi chuckled. As they chatted, the carriage reached the Thousand Varieties Market, where Hundred Gold Pavilion was located. The market was already filled with stalls and vendors.

    " Whoa1 So many people are doing business here1" Bai Ruxue couldn''t help but exim. " Indeed, these people will stay here till the auction ends. It''s already their second day here." Liu Jie replied.

    " Sister Ruxue, there is still time for the auction. Do you want to buy some things here?" Liu Jie suddenly asked. " I heard that the clothes from the Yin Fragrance Valley are being sold here. They got the bests dresses for women, you know?" She was very excited.

    " Hmm, I guess, we should part here from the time being. Let''s meet at the auction. Ruxue, you can apany Sister Jie. I am going to stroll here with Mo Yi." Yang Shi said.

    " As young master says." Bai Ruxue was like a happy little girl as she went with Liu Jie.

    " Women are sure money wasting creatures." Mo Yi shook his head.

    " Just like men are horny creatures." Yang Shi gave him a curt look. " Hehe, I was indeed thinking to have some fun before the auction." Mo Yi scratched his head.

    " Just because you have Heavenly ze Stallion Spirit, you don''t have to act like a beast all the time." Yang Shi became speechless.

    " Fine, Since it''s your first time here, I will guide you around. Come, let''s see if we can make some good deals." Mo Yi waved his hands as he walked

 Chapter 215: Three Mysteries Shop

    Chapter 215: Three Mysteries Shop

    Yang Shi and Mo Yi leisurely walked on the streets as they looked at the shops. All sorts of strange and exotic treasures could be seen there.

    " We are selling ancient cultivation manuals. All are Purple rank and above. Hurry and buy them only for 200,000 gold coins."

    " Mystic rank battle technique- War Elephant Nine Fist, only for 400,000 gold coins."

    " Come and see this treasure spear. Forged by bones of ming Sun Beast, it''s a True rank treasure. Only for today, the price is Fifty Spirit Stone."

    Yang Shi almost stumbled as he heard this shout. Fifty Spirit stone for a True rank weapon is a bit too pricy. But When Yang Shi looked at the treasure spear, his expression turned strange.

    The ming Sun Beast is a Fire type Ancient rank beast. Its bones are very valuable. If the spear was truly forged by the bones of ming Sun Beast, Fifty spirit stones might be still eptable. But when Yang Shi used his Celestial View, he saw anomalies in the spear.

    " No wonder, It''s really not the bones of ming Sun Beast." Yang Shi chuckled. Forging weapons are by no means an easy task. When using materials of too higher or lower grades, the chance of sess bes too low. Ancient rank beasts are pretty rare here, so Yang Shi skeptical from the start.

    " Brother Yang, do you want to buy that spear?" Mo Yi asked as he saw YangShi gazing at the spear.

    " No, Why would I want to buy a fake spear?" Yang Shi shook his head.

    " The ming Sun Beast Spear is fake?" Mo Yi was surprised. " Have you forgotten? I am a cksmith." Yang Shi smiled with a smug face. " Damn, That shop keeper is trying to reap rewards without sowing." Mo Yi hissed.

    " Hey, you two! What are you talking about?" The shopkeeper heard Yang Shi and Mo Yi as he shouted in rage. Yang Shi and Mo Yi were chatting casually, so their voice wasn''t lowered.

    The shopkeeper was displeased as they were ruining his business. Some people already started to show dubious expressions as they looked at the spear.

    " What? Aren''t we allowed to show our thoughts?" Mo Yi rebuked. He almost blurted that, " You think we are interested in your fake item?"

    " You guys are ndering my reputation. If you don''t have proof, then don''t talk nonsense." The shopkeeper raged.

    " Fellow daoist, don''t be angry. We shall not disturb you any longer." Yang Shi smiled as he dragged away Mo Yi. Mo Yi was unwilling, but he followed Yang Shi.

    " But why brother Yang? We should have exposed him." Mo Yi snorted. " Brother Mo, your thinking is too rigid. There are countless people making money from fraud business, are you going to stop all?" Yang Shi shook his head.

    " Let it put in the hands of fate, as this is what decides all fortunes and disasters."

    " Brother Yang is wise. Let the heaven decide who is going to suffer from that spear." Mo Yiughed. They started to look around for more treasures. Suddenly, Yang Shi stopped near a store as he looked at the items.

    " The guests are in luck today. I recently found these treasures from an ancient ruin. This cauldron is a damaged True grade weapon. However, it can increase the chances of pill refining by a fifth. If it was restored, its ability will be enhanced further." The shopkeeper of that shop smiled.

    " Yes, this cauldron looks good." Yang Shi casually said, but his eyes were looking at another thing. " That Amethyst rock, how much is for that?" Yang Shi asked.

    " That is a Metal Amythyst rock. It''s about 50 kg weight. It''s good for making weapons like spears or halberds. It''s only 150,000 gold coins." The shopkeeper replied.

    " That''s bit much. I can give 76,000 coins." Yang Shi frowned. " That... That''s way low." The shopkeeper''s face turned stiff as he denied it. " 100,000. Give or I will leave." Yang Shi spoke. " This isn''t any rare metal rock. 100,00 is a very reasonable price."

    " Fine." The shopkeeper nodded after some thoughts. Yang Shi smiled as he took that rock. " What about that cauldron?" Yang Shi asked again. " 350,000 gold coins, no bargain." The shopkeeper said firmly.

    " Hehe, Although I am not interested in that, you should increase your price a bit more. That cauldron is more valuable than you think." Yang Shiughed as he left with Mo Yi. Mo Yi couldn''t help but look at Yang Shi''s action with daze, as he couldn''t understand a thing.

    " What''s so special about that Amethyst rock?" Mo Yi asked curiously. " This Amethyst rock isn''t simple at all. Normally, its surface should have been rough and porous, but it''s smooth with a shade of blue." Yang Shi said. He took out one of his daggers as he slowly cut the stone.

    The stone was big as a watermelon, but soon, it reduced to the size of a ball. As its finalyer was ut, the stone shone with a peaceful icy light. " Hoho, It''s really a Midnight Jade." Yang Shi''s smile became wider.

    " It''s filled with Jade qi with Yin qi, perfect for Ruxue." Yang Shi said. " Ah! So this is a gift for Sister Ruxue?" Mo Yi grinned.

    " But what about that cauldron?" Mo Yi asked again. " It was indeed a genuine item. What''s more, these seemed to have some strange technique imprinted inside the cauldron."

    " So I helped that shopkeeper a bit." Yang Shiughed. He only did because of the sudden encounter with Midnight Jade.

    " Hey1 Why don''t you help me to pick some treasures? Brother Yang''s appraisal skill can definitely increase my luck." Mo Yi rubbed his palms. " What? Aren''t you satisfied with your True grade weapon? Brother Mo, It was forged by your ancestors."

    " First of all, it''s made of high quality materials. Moreover, with your bloodline, you can use it better than other weapons." Yang Shi exined.

    " I understand, but having more isn''t bad right? But then, rather than a weapon, I want to get some secret artifacts or techniques more." Mo Yi said after some thoughts.

    " Hmm, But you aren''t good with any side professions." Yang Shi hummed. " Does that matter? Just pick a few good things." Mo Yi rebuked.

    " Let''s go there. It seems they are selling artifacts and talismans." Yang Shi pointed in a direction as they went there.

    Artifacts are also a type of weapon, but they can''t be used directly in a frontal sh like sword and spear. Forging secret artifacts are also much different than forging weapons. Secret artifacts can be more powerful than weapons and their abilities can be mystical.

    Yang Shi suddenly remembered that he still had his grade two Invisibility talisman. He never found any good opportunity to use that talisman.

    This shop looked more exquisite although it''s still a temporary one. It was at least three timesrger than normal ones. The name of the shop was carved on a sandalwood board,

    " Three Mysteries Shop"

    " Eh? This shop... Ah! It''s from Dao Instructing Pagoda." Mo Yi suddenly eximed. Dao Instructing Pagoda was one of the four great sects of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom.

    " Ahaha! Second Young Master Mo''s eyes are sharp as always. This humble one invites you to our shop." A frail looking young man appeared as he greeted Yang Shi and Mo Yi.

 Chapter 216: Monarch of Seven Runes

    Chapter 216: Monarch of Seven Runes

    " The Dao Instruction Pagoda''s disciples are truly erudite." Mo Yimented.

    " Young Master is ttering me. In fact, this is one of three shops which our sect opened here. I am only in charge of selling some humble things as most good things will appear in auction." The frail looking youth said.

    " This brother''s name?" Yang Shi asked.

    " This poor schr is Pan Xiong." Pan Xiong bowed slightly.

    " Alright, Let''s see what good things you have to offer." Mo Yiughed as they entered the shop. " Why it is named Three Mysteries Shop?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Because we only sell Secret Artifacts, Talismans, and Battle Techniques." Pan Xiong said.

    " Then show us some secret artifacts." Mo Yi asked. Pan Xiong nodded as he asked his attendant to bring some treasures.

    " This is Fire and Ice Jade. Wearing it, one can be resistant to boiling temperature or freezing cold. Moreover, it will boost Fire and Ice type cultivation speed."

    " This is Wind Tracing Flute and Aura Tracking Powder. Using a bit of this powder on any person and using this flute, one can easily track that person''s location. Its radius is 200 km."

    " This is Beast Power Glove. Using this can increase your physical strength and First techniques. After filling it with Spiritual qi, it can alsounch a burst of qi attack."

    Pan Xiong exined the secret treasure''s uses as Mo Yi nodded.

    " Hmm, Brother Mo, Since you are practicing Sky Incineration Sword, you should take this Fire and Ice jade. Beast Power Glove is only useful when you are not using your sword." Yang Shi thought as he said.

    " Indeed. I am also thinking to buy it. Pack this thing, and also show me something good for women." Mo Yi asked as he thought to about Liu Jie.

    " Hmm." Pan Xiong thought as he took out another few boxes.

    " This is Violet Pheonix Hairpin. It can be used as a hidden weapon and also a quill pen. It''s best to please a girl."

    " This is a Full Moon ring. It can reduce the process of aging of girls and make them even more appealing. Moreover, the cold qi inside can rejuvenate any tired person. "

    " This Hairpin, I am taking it." Mo Yi said.

    After purchasing all items, Mo Yi already spent around 500,000 gold coins. But it''s nothing much to him. Yang Shi looked at the talismans which are on sale.

    " Light Talisman, Speed Talisman, Fireball Talisman, Ice Wreck Talisman." Yang Shi shook his head.

    Talismans also graded from grade one to grade nine. Grade one are the cheapest and most easy to make. But each grade one talisman costs more than 100,000 gold coins as Talisman making has strict restrictions.

    First of all, talisman needs to be drawn by the usage of Soul qi, so most Runemasters are those who awakened their soul or simply put, Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators.

    However, that would make talismans far too scarce. Therefore, there was a solution to this. There is a special ink called - Beast Spirit Ink. It can be used as a substitute for Soul qi.

    One can use Spiritual qi to use Inscription Brush and Beast Spirit Ink to create talismans, but the biggest drawback is- It can''t be used to make talismans above Second grade talismans. Moreover, the sess of talisman making also reduces.

    Nheless, It''s still a great treasure for those who didn''t awaken their souls. It allowed them to be Runemaster. Once someone bes a Runemaster, Their fame will shoot to the sky. Wealth, Power, and Beauty won''tck to them as each faction would try to curry favor with them.

    " There aren''t any Grade two talismans?" Yang Shi asked. " Currently, We have only three. You can find more of them in the auction." Pan Xiong shook his head.

    " Show me some talismans then." Yang Shi asked. Pan Xiong nodded as he took out three jade boxes. These boxes were sealed by strange runes as he opened them.

    " This one is Evil Warding Talisman. A Grade two talisman. It can be used to y ghosts and evil creatures. Even without activating it, it can still act as a barrier against dark creatures."

    " This is Six Light Sword Talisman. Once used, It will turn into six golden streaks of sword lights. It can heavily injure Ninth grade Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator or even kill them. But it''s power will reduce if the enemy had Grade two defensive talisman or a Quasi True grade armor. It''s still a good offensive Talisman.

    " This is thest one. It''s a Beast Tracking Talisman. If you want to find a particr beast, all you need to do is to drop some blood of it on this talisman. It will able to locate it in 200 km radius."

    Yang Shi shook his head. Six Light Sword Talisman is good, but it''s useless for Yang Shi as he alreadyprehended Saber intent. But it could be a good protective item for Bai Ruxue, so Yang Shi bought it for 500,000 gold coins.

    " Hmm?" YangS hi suddenly look at the bookshelf where many books were kept. These are all Secret techniques. It contains various things, Battle Techniques, Forging Techniques, Alchemy Method, and so on.

    Yang Shi took out a scroll as he read its name - The Mysteries of Runes- Talisman crafting. " It''s a famous book, Written by Monarch of Seven Runes. Here, he depicts the basics of Talisman crafting. It''s for novice Runemasters." Pan Xiong said casually.

    Monarch of Seven Rune can be considered as the human ancestor of Rune Inscription. His legend was from the Heaven''s Dawn Era. He was the first human who created the basic principles of Rune inscriptions.

    Heprehended seven origin runes and used them as a foundation. After that, he created many techniques of Talisman crafting and Formation making. Because of his contribution, not only the human race but all races across the realm benefitted.

    But what''s interesting, It was Samsara Emperor who helped him back then. Samsara Emperor Yan Jian was someone from the Late Ster Expansion Era, so by the time of Monarch of Seven Runes, he already became quite powerful.

    " How much does this cost?" Yang Shi asked. " This? Since Noble Yang already bought some costly things, I can give this as a small gift." Pan Xiong waved his hand.

    " However, If you want to learn the art of Rune inscription, These books are better for you." Pan Xiong showed three books. " The True Art of Inscription, Spirit Inscription Methods, and Talisman Formation Sutra."

    Yang Shi shook his head as he said, " It''s fine, I just want that." He pointed at the book of Monarch of Seven Runes. " As you wish." Pan Xiong didn''t think much as he packed them all.

    " Esteemed Guests, I hope you wille again." Pan Xiong smiled as he sent them off. Yang Shi and Mo Yi returned from there with satisfaction.

    Pan Xiong went to the shop''s inner room where a middle aged person was sitting. " Interesting. That youth besides Mo Yi is pretty unusual." Hemented.

    " His name is Yang Shi. He seemed very close to Mo n. What''smore, He is a Master grade cksmith. Till now, not a singlemission was failed by him." Pan Xiong bowed as he said.

    " Heh, It seems that Fierce Bao finally found a decent sapling." The man chuckled. " Observe him for now."

    Yang Shi turned to look at the Three Mysteries Shop. As his Divine Sense already fused with his Celestial View, he could feel the hidden presence of a Violet Pce Exapsnion Realm cultivator inside the shop. But he didn''t mind it as he may be the protector of the shop.

    " Don''t you think it''s interesting? The book written by the Human Ancestor of Rune Inscription is simply worthless before the newfound techniques of current Runemaster?" Yang Shiughed inwardly as he thought about the book he had gotten for free.

 Chapter 217: Selling Demon Cores

    Chapter 217: Selling Demon Cores

    People generally ignore this book as it only contains the most basic information about the runes. Even someone tries to learn it fully, the chances of bing a Runemaster are still uncertain. So, it''s rather safe to practice advance techniques than pondering over the basic techniques.

    " But, is a book written by such a peerless expert is really useless?" Yang Shi couldn''t help but chuckle. Thanks to the memory of Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi understood the true value of this book. In front of this book, Heaven grade techniques are not even worth of copper coins. But unfortunately, only a few can understand the profundity of this book.

    Yang Shi and Mo Yi finally looked for Liu Jie and Bai Ruxue. They saw that Liu Jie still buying some misceneous items.

    " Hiss, Just how many clothes and essories they are going to buy? It''s almost time for the auction." Mo Yi was getting impatient. " Don''t worry, Let''s go there." Yang Shiughed. Soon, they all grouped together as they went to the Hundred Gold Pavilion.

    The Hundred Gold Pavilion of Azure Wind City is far more luxurious than any of its branches in the Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. It looked bigger than a stadium as massive pirs of gold were surrounding it. Just from the decoration, one could imagine the amount of wealth Hundred Gold Pavilion possesses.

    " Sigh, Although higher level cultivator doesn''t care about gold and jades, just the decorations here will cost around a thousand low grade spirit stones." Yang Shi muttered.

    A thousand low grade spirit stone is no small sum for Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators. It might even cause terrible fighting among them. Yang Shi felt if he had a thousand spirit stones, he would have already reached the second or even third stage of Violet Pce Expansion Realm.

    Unfortunately, Due to the Heaven Suppression Divine Formation in his Dantian, it''s almost impossible for now.

    The Hundred Gold Pavilion not only looked beautiful, but the hidden security inside it also impressed Yang Shi. The pirs of gold contained many chained rune structures. Yang Shi could easily tell that it''s a grade two formation.

    It will at least take a couple of Violet Pce Expansion Realm Formation Master to create such a powerful and hidden formation. Not to mention at least a dozen of Violet Pce Realm''s existence are guarding it.

    But that''s pretty normal. Otherwise the amount of treasure Hundred Gold Pavilion possess, it would have been looted countless time by powerful

    existences.

    The main hall was prettyrge, enough to amodate a thousand people. There are also VIP rooms and Royal Rooms. VIP rooms are reserved for noble ns and smaller power factions and Major n and sect''s younger generation.. The Royal Room was reserved for The Elders of Eight great power of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom.

    " Halt! Do you have an invitation card?" The guards wearing purple robes stopped Yang Shi''s group as they asked. Yang Shi casually took out the ck card, which was given to him by Huang An. Mo Yi also took out his card.

    " Young master of Mo n, you can go to the room reserved by your n." The guard nodded at Mo Yi, But when they saw Yang Shi''s card, they couldn''t help but be surprised. Since they are working for Hundred Gold Pavilion, they know most of the influential people of the younger generation. However, Yang Shi looked foreign to them.

    But since he also has an authentic ck card, he can reserve a VIP room. The guards didn''t dare to be neglected as they weed them in. yang Shi was surprised as he didn''t think that it''s the entry pass for VIP room. He thanked Huang An in his mind as he entered there with Bai Ruxue.

    " Sister! Brother-in-Law, Brother yang, you guys are finally here." Liu Jiang came rushing as he met them. " I have prepared everything here. The auction will start soon." He informed as he passed a catalog to them. " These are the items which areing for the auction.

    " Well, Liu Jiang, thanks for this thing. I and Ruxue are going to our own room. Brother Mo, let''s part then." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Sure, We don''t want to be the thorn between you guys." Liu Jieughed as she dragged away Liu Jiang and Mo Yi. Bai Ruxue couldn''t help but blush slightly.

    " Ruxue, Go to VIP room no- 49 and wait for me. I have some business to do."

    Yang Shi gave her the card as he went directly to the treasure counter of Hundred Gold Pavilion. That ce is where Hundred Gold Pavilion does its business transactions. There are many people lining there as they trying so send their items to the main auctions.

    " But why? This is a real True grade treasure!" A person screamed as he pointed at his sword.

    " Sorry, Esteemed guest, but as per our appraisal, It''s not a True grade treasure." Thedy sitting there smiled with an apology.

    " Are you sure this Vase isn''t an ancient defensive item?" Another person rebuked.

    " Sir, Although it looks ancient, it''s just a normal treasure vase with slight Earth qi." Thedy smiled as she looked at the yellow vase.

    Since it''s arge auction, many people areing here to try their luck, Unfortunately, for them, Hundred Gold Pavilion''s appraisal methods are too strict. So it can''t fool their experienced eyes.

    Yang Shi acted nonchntly as he knew the item he had will definitely attract Hundred Gold Pavilion. He put a smile on his face as he went to the counter.

    " Beautifuldy, would you like to spare some time?" Yang Shi flung his hair as he said with a confident tone. But at that moment, Yang Shi was pretty shocked in his heart.

    " Holy shit! How the hell I talked in such a cringey way?" YangShi screamed in his heart. But his mouth moved so naturally like he was doing it subconsciously. Yang Shi finally saw the reason as he saw the Crimson Lily was stirring slightly. Yang Shi sighed as he focused on thedy.

    Thedy already met a thousand types of people, so she can think Yang Shi was so spoiled young master of some noble n. But she also smiled back in reply, " Does Young noble has some treasures to appraise?"

    " As you wish." Yang Shi felt the conversation is going smoothly so he didn''t hesitate to take out the demon cores he got in the Eastern Mountain. With heavy noise, almost a hundred demon cores fell from his spatial ring.

    The surroundings became silent as they gazed at the small mountain of demon cores. Thedy''s expression turned serious as she suddenly broke a talisman. Then, two white haired elders came as they inspected it.

    Many people''s eyes were burning with greed as they looked at the demon cores. There are at least a dozen of High grade demon cores with a lot so f mid grade demon cores.

    " Marvellous! These demon cores are already purified from Demon qi!" An elder eximed. " It''s the best quality cores to use."

    " Since elders have already seen this, are my items are eligible to put in the auction?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Young noble, Although these types of Demon cores are rare, we can only auction high grade cores. As for all these middle grade cores, we can give you, Uh... Four million gold coins?" One of the elder said.

    " Five million or I am taking these back. These cores are far easier to refine and since it doesn''t have Demon qi, it won''t cause any bacsh." Yang Shi refused as he also estimated the price in his mind.

    The elder''s face turned a bit stiff as he heard Yang Shi. These ores value also about five million gold coins, and even buying with that price, Hundred Gold Pavilion can make a decent revenue.

    After negotiating with Yang Shi for a long time, They finally agreed to Yang Shi''s demand.

    Yang Shi returned happily with five million gold coins to his room, where Bai Ruxue was waiting for him.

 Chapter 218: Hundred Gold Auction, Begins

    Chapter 218: Hundred Gold Auction, Begins

    The Demon qi from the demon cores was already absorbed by Jin Yu. So all remaining within the cores are Elemental qi. Such cores are perfect for alchemy or forging.

    But Yang Shi decided to sell them all for the auction. Now, he almost has ten million gold coins. Although it''s still a far crypared to therge ns and sects, it''s still a decent amount of fortune here.

    Yang Shi returned to his VIP room where Bai Ruxue already prepared everything. It was arge room with all kinds of the facility with arge ss window in front of them. From there one can observe the entire auction hall.

    The ss windows are reinforced by runes. So no one from outside can see what''s happening inside the VIP room. Moreover, It''s more like a bullet proof ss in the cultivation world. It can stop even the sneak attacks of Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators.

    Yang Shi sat on a luxurious chair while Bai Ruxue was peeling a fruit beside him. " So, got any good items?" Yang Shi asked while he was flipping through the catalog given to him by Liu Jiang.

    " Mhm. The store of Yin Fragrance Valley was really a heaven for women. Varieties of dress, cosmetics and things for women are avable there. Their dresses are also of the finest quality, made from the Spirit Silk threads and hides of Demonic beasts." Bai Ruxue said.

    " I also bought dresses for Young master." Bai Ruxue took out a few robes from her storage pouch. Yang Shi looked at the exquisite blue robe which was bought by Bai Ruxue. It was made from a silk of a Spirit Silkworm, which is a ferocious beast and dyed with spirit herbs. With silver leaf patterns over it, it would look fine on Yang Shi.

    " What about yous? Surely you didn''t buy clothes only for me?" Yang Shi smiled. " There are, but it''s... It''s a secret." Bai Ruxue suddenly blushed. Yang Shi became confused but looking at Bai Ruxue, he felt something odd.

    " Why not try new clothes? I want to see them." Yang Shi asked. But Bai Ruxue was pretty conflicted but she nodded in the end. Yang Shi really wanted to see what clothes she had brought.

    As he was reading the catalog, he found many interesting things listed there. The catalog listed most items that areing for auction.

    But Yang Shi knew that the major attraction of the auction is kept secret. But the things listed here are also quite expensive.

    The Scaled Dragon Grass for example. It''s a five hundred year old herb, which was used for making grade three pills. There are also many treasures, Herbs, Ores, and Talismans are so on.

    Moreover, these are not even the top ten items of the auction, so Yang Shi was looking forward to broadening his horizons.

    When the hall was packed with people, the guards slowly closed the door. The hall was lightened up by Illumination Pearls, which looked like miniature moons.

    On the stage, a beautifuldy came. With her fiery red dress and ample mountain like breasts, most people couldn''t help but gulp saliva.

    " Wee to this small event of Hundred Gold Pavilion. I hope all the guests are satisfied with our hospitality." She bowed.

    Those who are sitting in the hall felt their blood rushing as they saw the deep valley between her mountains.

    " Hiss, Such a bewitching beauty~!"

    " I won''t hesitate to sleep with her, even it costs ten years of my life."

    " Hey! You are a Cultivator, be more generous. I will spend a hundred years of life in exchange for her."

    Those who are sitting in the main halls are ordinary people. They couldn''t help but be intoxicated by the auctioneer''s beauty.

    Yang Shiughed as with his Celestial View, he could see shades of pink qi around her body. It seems she is practicing some kind of Charm technique. resulting in affecting those people.

    " First item, It''s a Middle tier Spirit grade weapon, made from Frost Iron. The bidding starts from, 75,000 gold coins." Two servants came with a sword as the auctioneer borated.

    Yang Shi yawned as people from the main hall started their bidding. He knew that the early items are only good for normal people.

    Yang Shi used his Celestial View to look at other VIP rooms. Although no one can see through those special sses, Yang Shi''s Celestial View with his Divine sense can do this.

    First, he looked at Mo Yi''s room, But he became surprised as Liu Jie was sitting on thep of Mo Yi. Although they weren''t doing something indecent, he could feel the lovey dovey atmosphere around them.

    " Hehe, It seems Mo Yi''s gift really pleased Sister Jie." Yang Shi smiled as he didn''t probe anymore. He looked at other rooms. He saw Liu Jiang was discussing something with an elder in his room.

    Then, suddenly his vision turned slightly cold as he saw the Young master of Yue n, Yue Wuji. As per his nature, he was surrounded by five women who are massaging his body.

    Yue Wujiughed lewdly, and he groped the breast some a girl. The girl smiled seductively as she didn''t mind it.

    " Dare to fuck with me one more time, and I will make you never be able to touch a woman." Yang Shi muttered as he focused back on the auction.

    Till now, at least a dozen of items have been auctioned off. No one from the VIP hall bothered to make any bit, let alone the Royal room. After a few more items, Yang Shi''s eyes finally showed interest.

    " 34th item, It''s a Five hundred year old Scaled Dragon Grass. As most alchemists know, It used for grade three Strength Breaking Pill. The bid starts from 200,000 gold coins." The auctioneer shouted.

    " 250,000"

    " 300,000"

    " 320,000"

    One of the VIP rooms finally showed interest. After that, the price of the Scaled Dragon Grass climbed rapidly.

    " 450,000." Yang Shi shouted. He wanted this herb for another purpose.

    " 450,000 gold coins. Going once, Twice... Sold." The beautifuldy nodded.

    " Next item, a Thousand Year old Earth Ginseng, The bids starts from 400,000 gold coins."

    " 500,000 gold coins."

    " 600,000. Gold coins."

    A thousand year Earth Ginseng is a rare herb. Not only it can boost one''s vitality, but it can also be concocted with more herbs to make grade three or even four pills.

    YangShi was also interested in that, but he decided not to bid. Currently, he didn''t need any blood and vitality boosting supplement.

    " Young Master." Yang Shi''s body trembled as he heard Bai Ruxue calling him with coyness. Before he could turn, Bai Ruxue''s palm closed his eyes.

    " Just close your eyes, don''t open them before I tell you." Bai Ruxue said with a hushed voice.

    " Young master, You can open your eyes now." Bai Ruxue said shyly as Yang Shi finally opened them

    But when he looked at Bai Ruxue, Yang Shi felt his blood boil as he almost had a nosebleed.

    " This...this..." Yang Shi stammered.

 Chapter 219: Person From Royal Room Makes Move

    Chapter 219: Person From Royal Room Makes Move

    Bai Ruxue wore a snow white robe, which looked like a dress of a saintess. With golden threads created pattern around it and loose figure, she looked like a fairy.

    But the reason Yang Shi was shocked, because, all of Bai Ruxue''s private part was exposed. The dress, rather than covering her body, it was highlighting her open parts.

    Yang Shi gulped a mouthful of saliva as he screamed in his mind, " Holy! Is this legendary cosying?"

    Bai Ruxue''s face was crimson as she stood in front of Yang Shi in a shameful position. Yang Shi could see the pitch ck garden near her thigh, which was creating a staking contrast in white.

    Also, Bai Ruxue was wearing a white hood with a small crown over that. Yang Shi could only think about who could have created such a marvelous design?

    " You-young master... Am I...looking good?" Bai Ruxue stammered. Yang Shi nodded subconsciously. Yang Shi felt an evil fire rage in his lower abdomen as his soft wyrm was already tuned into rock hard dragon.

    Yang Shi didn''t suppress his desire as he pulled Bai Ruxue towards him. He sucked her peaks like drinking a mellow wine. Bai Ruxue''s body was trembling as her peaks were already erected from ecstasy.

    Yang Shi''s left hand already started ying in theher region of Bai Ruxue. Their tongues interwind as they kissed each other without care. Yang Shi''s fingers already entered in her forbidden well as he could feel it''s getting moist and sticky.

    " Young master, I can''t wait...'''' Bai Ruxue panted. She pulled off Yang Shi''s pants as she looked at his throbbing dragon. She got up a bit as her thighs parted.

    Yang Shi''s dragon was eaten up by Bai Ruxue like a sword is sheathed. Bai Ruxue closed her eyes out of pleasure as she began to move her hips.

    The chair cranked as they both indulged in the carnal pleasure. Yang Shi heard the next few bids, but he didn''t care about them. An evil idea came to his mind as he lifted Bai Ruxue as he was still deep in her.

    " AH!" Bai Ruxue''s was startled as her body jerked. She felt Yang Shi''s thing go even deeper inside her. " Heavens! It''s getting bigger!" Bai Ruxue startled in her heart.

    Yang Shi turned her body as he pressed her against the ss wall. Bai Ruxue''s mind became messy as her heart raced.

    " No! Young master! What if someone sees us?" She asked in a panic. In front of her were a thousand people, bidding on various items. As her breasts pressed against the ss Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Don''t worry, No one can see anything. Besides, don''t you think it''s very exciting?"

    Bai Ruxue scolded YangShi for being such a pervert, but when she thought about the dress she was wearing, she was ashamed. Yang Shi thrust his hips as he could feel Bai Ruxue''s soft inner flesh around his junior. Both were connected as one as they drowned in pleasure.

    Yang Shi didn''t make Bai Ruxue wait as he poured his thick essence into her. Bai Ruxue moaned with a pleasant sound as her legs softened. Yang Shi wiped his sweat as he pulled out his junior.

    Bai Ruxue''s held the wall as she could feel liquid falling from herher region.

    " Young master, You came a lot." She panted as Yang Shi pulled her to his bosom.

    " You are really fiery today." Yang Shiughed. " I thought I could please Young master in this way." Bai Ruxue pouted.

    " Hurry and change back to the normal dress before I get aroused again." Yang Shi shooked his head. He focused back on the auction.

    " This is a bottle of Rank three Hundred Poison Dispelling Pill. This pill can be used as an antidote for a hundred types of poisons. The bid begins from 700,000 gold coins for a bottle of three pills."

    Yang Shi looked at the bidding as it soon crossed one million gold coins. The Hundred Poison Pill is indeed excellent, especially for those who like to go on adventuring.

    Yang Shi didn''t care about the weapons as most of them are only High tier Spirit Grade weapons. As Yang Shi could forge even Quasi True grade weapons, he looked for other items.

    " This is an Ancient Medicinal Cauldron." The auctioneer shouted as her three subordinates carried a huge cauldron. Just from looks, The cauldron weighed more than a hundred kg.

    It was a bronze cauldron with a heavy lid over it. It looked way old and covered with green rust, which looked like moss. The handles were like thick bronze batons, which also looked rusty. By no means does the cauldron look special, other than its huge size.

    The audience started to whisper as they felt the cauldron wasn''t anything worth putting into theter phase of the auction.

    " Everyone, This cauldron may not look special, but as we tested, It made from pure North Bronze Essence, which is 10,000 years old. Moreover, It''s used to be a High tier True grade cauldron." Thedy smiled.

    "10,000-year-old North Bronze Essence?!" The audience gasped. As ores took thousand of years to form, 10,000 year old metals are hard to find. Moreover, after a lot of metal ores are refined, it turns into metal essence. So, 10,000 year old Metal essence was even more precious and rare to find.

    They could hardly believe someone used such a vast amount of Metal essence was used to forge this cauldron.

    The auctioneerdy mustered her strength as she removed the lid. A dense aroma of pills spread through the hall. From this, one can easily tell that the cauldron was used for pill refining. One can only think about the sheer numbers of pills, refined in this cauldron to have such an intense smell.

    Yang Shi was startled as he also smelled the scent. As his five senses were enhanced by many folds, he could differentiate from the mixture of smell.

    " Thunder Root Bamboo, Clear Spring Grass, Deep Earth Fruit. Damn, This cauldron refined even Rank six pills. And each herbed used here are older than a thousand year." Yang Shi''s eyes went wide.

    " But miss, Why this cauldron not giving any Spiritual aura?" A person from VIP room asked.

    Thedy''s smile stiffed as she exined,

    " Esteemed guests, When we found the cauldron, It was in this very state. From inspection, We couldn''t find anything. As we said, It was used to be a High tier True grade cauldron, but some of the inscribed runes are destroyed, so It''s only a Middle tier Spirit grade artifact now."

    " Hell! It''s even worse than Normal Spirit grade cauldrons." a person snorted. The crowd agreed as they pitied. Such a high tier artifact is simply useless now.

    " Even if someone wants to refine this cauldron to take out North Bronze Essence, it will be too much time consuming." An old man from the VIP room sighed.

    But Yang Shi''s gaze was intense as he was interested in this cauldron.

    Thedy frowned inwardly as the audience didn''t showed any excitement. But she still smiled as she shouted, " The bid starts from 800,000 gold coins."

    The crowd remained silent as they didn''t bid.

    " Damn! 800,000! I would rather buy a new High tier Spirit grade weapon." Someone snorted.

    " 800,000! Going twice!" Thedy shouted. But the crowd didn''t responded. As she was about to cancel the bit Yang Shi shouted, " 801,000!"

    Thedy was startled as he looked at Yang Shi''s room.

    " 801,000 Gold coins! Once! Twice!..." Yang Shi smiled as he was about to buy it. But then,

    " 900,000 Gold coins."

    Yang Shi''s face twitched as he cursed in his heart. It was a bid from the Royal room. But he was surprised as he felt he had heard the voice before.

    " 1 Million." Yang Shi said.

    " 1.1 Million." a middle aged voice said.

    " 1.8 Million." Yang Shi raised it by 700,000 gold coins. After hearing twice, Yang Shi smiled as he recognized him. So he raised his voice as he bid.

    The crowd fell to murmuring as they saw someone from VIP room was Contending against Royal room. For them, the Royal room is a powerful existence where only Violet Pce Expansion Realm experts can enter.

    " Which n''s young master is he? Daring to contest against an old senior?"

 Chapter 220: Messing with Yue Wuji

    Chapter 220: Messing with Yue Wuji

    " Hmph, These second generation young masters. Throwing money like papers. With that amount of money, I can get a Spirit Grade cauldron with a scroll of Alchemical technique." A person sighed.

    " Even a Quasi True grade Weapon can be bought for that price."

    "Maybe there is some kind of secret in this cauldron? Otherwise, Why a senior from Royal Room will bid?" A young man wondered.

    " Maybe for the North Bronze Essence?" another cultivator replied. That amount of North Bronze Essence can be used for at least Two True Grade weapons or even True grade armor. The value of such treasures can surpass the value of gold.

    " Haha, Since a junior fancy this small thing, I will let him have this." The middle aged manughed as he didn''t bid further. Yang Shiughed as he got the Bronze Cauldron.

    " Young master, Do you also know alchemy?" Bai Ruxue already changed back to her normal clothes as she sat beside Yang Shi.

    " Nah, I felt I should just buy something pricy." Yang Shiughed. " I don''t think Young master is someone who squanders money." Bai Ruxue teased. Yang Shi started as he rubbed under his nose. It was true as Yang Shi acts miserly most of the time.

    " Hehe, I was really thinking to practice some Alchemy.'''' Yang Shi nodded. Samsara Emperor''s memory was like Google''s search engine. With a thought, Yang Shi can gain information on any profession. Alchemy and cksmithing are just a small part of his memory.

    " Next item, A bottle of High grade Sky Enchanting Pill, which is a Rank Three pill. Its uses, everybody knows. One pill can promote a small stage in the cultivation realm."

    " Since these are High grade pills, The effects are even better. Three pills start from 1 million gold coins."

    " 1.5 million!"

    " 2 Million."

    " 2.5 Million."

    Sky Enchanting Pills are simply like hot cake, and its price reached 3.5 million. Yang Shi was surprised as he saw it was bought by the Xu n''s young noble, Xu Ao.

    Although Yang Shi''s impression of Xu Ao isn''t good, He didn''t mind much. With his power, He is almost invincible in Primordial Spirit Realm. Even if Xu Ao reached the peak of the Primordial Spirit Realm, Yang Shi can crush him with ease.

    " Everyone, We have entered the final round of Auction. Hurry up and open your wallet, as you are going to see some of the rarest treasure!" Thedy smiled as two white haired elders came on the stage. Yang Shi was surprised as they are the ones who bought Demon cores from him.

    Their appearance isn''t for show. They are more like an additionalyer of security, preventing any mishaps to happen.

    " First, Look at these Twelve High grade Demon cores." Thedy uncovered the box as twelve Demon cores were shining with faint light. There are cores of all Five Elements.

    " These cores look unusual." Someone said. It was true as the cores didn''t give a cold and demonic vibe.

    " Heavens? Could it be the Demonic qi inside the cores are refined away?" Someone from the VIP room eximed.

    " Guest is intelligent. These cores contain pure Elemental Qi. Every bit of Demonic Qi has been refined away. Be it Alchemy, Forging, or Talisman Crafting, It''s the best type of material to use.

    " Buy all twelve. The total price starts from... 5 million gold coins."

    " 6 million."

    " 7 million."

    " 8 million."

    " 10 Million gold coins!" Yue Wuji shouted. As he was the Young master of the Yue n, he certainly didn''tck money. Moreover, if he got these refined Demon cores, his n will be benefitted greatly.

    With a simple calction, one can easily make double or even triple amounts of money, from the Demon cores. The cores are raw materials. So if they used to create powerful treasures, one could sell them for an even higher price.

    " Hoh, To think it is him out of everyone." Yang Shi snorted.

    " 11 Million." Yang Shi shouted.

    " 12 Million." Yue Wuji didn''t back a slightest.

    " 15 Million." Yang Shi raised the price.

    " Mother! Which brat is fighting against me?" Yue Wuji raged inside.

    " This Brother, I hope you can give our Yue n some face?" Yue Wuji snorted as he shouted toward Yang Shi''s room.

    " No wonder, That''s Young master Yue of the Yue n." People were surprised.

    " Then why use the money to bid? Just use your Yue n''s <em>face</em> to buy everything." Yang Shi altered his voice slightly as heughed coldly.

    " Brat! Don''t you fear our Yue n?!" Yue Wuji was angered.

    " Young master Yue, You can''t threaten anyone in our auction." One of the white haired old men spoke as he tried to mediate the situation.

    " Hmph! 16 Million." Yue Wuji bid.

    " 18 Million!" Yang Shi raised again.

    " Damn!" Yue Wuzi cursed as he wavered to bid again. He was saving money forter items. But the sudden appearance of these refined Demon ores disturbed his ns.

    " Haha! It seems the reputation of the Yue n isn''t high as I heard. I guess I will take these cores." Yang Shiughed but he was secretly urging Yue Wuzi to bid.

    " Bid! Bid! If you didn''t bid, I will fucked." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    " Hmph! A country bumpkin dare to threaten me? 20 million!" Yue Wuji shouted.

    " Fine, I will let you have these cores." Yang Shi said casually as he didn''t bid.

    Yue Wuzi''s face turned sour as he realized that he already jumped into Yang Shi''s trap. But with these cores, He could only alleviate his anger a bit.

    " Damned bastard! I will see himter." He thought inwardly.

    Yang Shi''s mood was very good as he robbed 20 Million gold coins from Yue Wuji. Even giving the auction cut to Hundred Gold Pavilion, he will get 18 Million gold coins.

    " This is just the beginning. Our next item is..."

    " A Wood attribute cultivation technique of Mystic rank!"

    " Whoaa!" The audience gasped. Mystic Rank techniques are something that was strictly guarded by the ns and sects. Generally, such cultivation techniques rarelye to auctions as they are even more precious than battle techniques.

    " s, It''s a Wood type cultivation technique." A young man sighed.

    " You fool! Although the Wood element isn''t very strong among the Five Elements, it has its own advantage."

    " It immensely help those who wanted to pursue the Dao of Alchemy. Moreover, As it''s a Mystic grade technique, it can even prolong someone''s life span." An old cultivator exined.

    " The name of this technique is Azure Bamboo Rejuvenation Technique. It came from a fallen n of Eastern Domain. This technique isplete and urate. The bid starts from 3 Million gold coins."

    " 4 Million." Yang Shi shouted.

    " 5 Million." Yue Wuji came after.

    " 5.5 Million." Another VIP room shouted.

    " 6.5 Million." Yang Shi bid again.

    " 8 Million.'' Yue Wuji raised the price.

    Yang Shi''s gaze turned strange as he realized Yue Wuzi was using the same trick for him.

 Chapter 221: Heart of Forest

    Chapter 221: Heart of Forest

    " 9 Million." Yang Shi shouted. " Yue Wuji, You think I am some poor beggar? This father has enough to buy your n."

    " Haha! Let''s see how much your wallet weighs! 10 Million!" Yue Wuji taunted Yang Shi.

    " 11 Million."

    " 12 Million." Yue Wuji said with confidence.

    " Yue Wuji, You think you can obstruct me?" Yang Shi angrily asked. To be frank, He was quite interested in this Wood attribute cultivation technique, but looking at Yue Wuji''s action, Yang Shi couldn''t help but dig a pit for him.

    " Didn''t you just say that you have enough money to buy my n? What''s about it? Already giving up?" Yue Wujiughed arrogantly, but he was also urging in his mind,

    " Bid! Bid!"

    But Yang Shiughed as he said, " Young master Yue is indeed right. I was just boasting earlier. I guess Yue n is pretty lucky to get this technique."

    " What!?" Yue Wuji''s smile turned pale as he hastily shouted.

    " Haha! Truly a poor bastard! To think you were trying topete with me? What happened? Admit that you are a poor beggar." Yue Wuji tried to anger Yang Shi.

    But s, Yang Shi remained silent.

    " The technique, sold to Yue n''s Yue Wuji." The auctioneer shouted.

    " Damn!" Yue Wuji almost exploded from anger. At least the demon cores are useful for many things.

    But this Wood attribute technique isn''t something his n needs urgently. Out of the Five Elements, Wood and Metal attribute cultivators are rare, especially wood attributes.

    " Hahaha. Young Master Yue should practice this Azure Bamboo Technique. It will definitely boost your vigor and vitality, or else, Young Master Yue might have kidney deficiency in the future." Yang Shi added.

    " Pfft! Hahahaha." The entire hall suddenly erupted withughter. They understood that Yue Wuji was pitted again by this unknown young man.

    " Brat! You just wait. Our Yue n isn''t easy to bully." Yue Wuji spat venomously.

    " Damn! That youngster is fierce!"

    " Haha! I am really happy to see Yue Wuji losing his face."

    " Just who is that young man?" The audience whispered.

    Yang Shi snorted coldly as he looked at the next item. It was a Grade Two Fire Prison Talisman.

    It can create a ming prison around the opponent, which is very difficult to break.

    The Huang n bought it for 5 Million gold coins. The next item was a Rank Three Internal Repairing Pill. When someone gets internal injuries, this pill can heal them in a short period of time. It was bought by Xu Ao.

    " This is a Heaven grade battle technique, Tidal Violet Lightning Technique. As from its name, you can already guess that this is a Lighting attribute battle technique."

    The hall turned silent. As thedy was about to start the bid, a person from the VIP room spoke.

    " 50 Spirit stones." Xu Ao made the first bid.

    " 75 Spirit stones!" Huang n followed.

    " 100 Spirit Stones." Mo Yi spoke.

    Spirit Stone''s value far exceeds the value of gold. So, for something like a Heaven grade technique, only Spirit stones are epted.

    " 200 Spirit stones."

    " BOOM"

    This time, another Royal room joined the fray. Yang Shi became surprised that it was Lu Xiao''s voice. Although Yang Shi''s Celestial View can''t fully prate the barrier of the Royal Room, He can still sense that more than one people were there.

    " Wait, If Lu Xiao is in Royal Room, Does that mean..." Yang Shi''s vision shrunk as he thought of someone.

    " The First Prince?" Yang Shi said inwardly.

    " 250 Spirit Stones." another VIP room raised the price.

    " 275 Spirit stones!" Lu Xiao said.

    " 300!" The new VIP room raised the price again.

    Yang Shi became interested in that VIP room as he used his Celestial View to see inside it. His vision became clear as he saw a white clothed young man was sitting there. With an ancient sword on his back, he looked very imposing.

    But before Yang Shi could observe him more, he suddenly felt his blood boiling from excitement. He could feel his Celestial White Tiger Primordial Spirit was moving suddenly.

    The young man was focused on the auction, but suddenly, his body trembled as he began to look around. Suddenly, he gazed in Yang Shi''s direction with some confusion.

    Yang Shi was startled as he hurriedly called back his Celestial View.

    " No way! Did he really feel my gaze?" Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    " But no matter what, That young man isn''t simple." Yang Shi concluded. But he could feel the excitement in his heart as he saw many mysterious characters appearing.

    " Only pressure can turn coal into a diamond. I can only strive forward with such challenges." YangShiughed. But he couldn''t be jealous of that young man who simply threw 300 Spirit stones to buy that technique.

    The thing Yang Shicks the least is techniques. Yang Shi never bothered to learn the Samsara Emperor''s techniques because he wanted to strive forward with his own strength.

    Especially battle techniques are cultivation arts. Yang Shi wanted to use whatever he got in the real world. Since he has his mysterious Chaos Qi, he was thinking to make his cultivation path unique.

    The young man in white cloth finally got the Tidal Violet Lightning Technique. But he still couldn''t shake the strange feeling. " I felt someone was gazing at me earlier."

    " Nevermind. With this technique, My Grand Dragon Battle Art will be more powerful." He smiled.

    " The next item is... A Heart of Forest." The auctioneer bought a green orb. Just from looking at it, one would feel immense vitality. The entire hall felt like they arrived in a forest.

    Yang Shi''s expression turned serious as he looked at the Heart of Forest. " Bai Ruxue, call the servant." Yang Shi suddenly said. Bai Ruxue was startled she nodded. Yang Shi took out a paper as he wrote something on it.

    " Take this and deliver it to the 3rd Royal Room." Yang Shi said.

    " But Young noble, You don''t have permission..." The servant stuttered. He certainly didn''t want to get implicated by someone from the Royal Room.

    " Rx. He is my friend. As long as you deliver this letter, I will give you 50,000 gold coins. Take this first." Yang Shi handed him the letter and 20,000 gold coins.

    The servant was still worried, but looking at the gold coins, he agreed.

    The bid for the Heart of Forrest started from 20 Million Gold coins, but it soon reached 100 Spirit stones. Yang Shi bit his lips as the Royal Room no-3 didn''t respond.

    " 100 Spirit stones! Going once! Twice!..."

    " 150 Spirit stones." The Royal Room no-3 spoke finally.

    " 200 Spirit stones.

    " 275 Spirit stones." The Royal Room no-3 finally bought the Heart of Forest. Yang Shi breathed in relief.

    " Thest 3 items of our auction. Ladies and Gentlemen, Behold!"

    " A True grade saber, named- Moon Crescent Saber."

    Finally, a True grade weapon appeared.

 Chapter 222: Purple Thunder Wyvern

    Chapter 222: Purple Thunder Wyvern

    Yang Shi didn''t even look at the Crescent Moon Saber as he was already happy with the Heart of Forest.

    The Heart of Forest is actually a special type of energy core. When a tree gets spiritually enlightened, it also starts to cultivate do be a Tree Demon. Although they are very much different from the Beast race, the Demon character in their name is simr.

    After a Tree Demons start to cultivate, it devours the Vital Qi of the surrounding area, forming its core. After a few hundred years, itpleted its initial stage of the core.

    Such Tree Demons can be only found in very deep parts of ancient forests. As they form their core from the Qi of their surroundings, their cores are filled with pure Wood Qi. That''s the reason it''s called Heart of Forest.

    From Yang Shi''s estimate, this Heart of Forest is roughly five hundred years old. Although it''s much inferiorpared to thousand year old ones, Yang Shi is very happy to get this.

    Although it''s very valuable for Alchemists. refining the Heart of Forest is much difficult. While using it in pill concoction, a small error may cause it to ruin everything.

    But for Yang Shi, it is a heaven sent treasure. As he was thinking to buy something to cultivate his Wood Spirit Seal, he got this Heart of Forest. With this, he can reach the Embryonic stage of Wood Spirit Seal in a few days.

    After winning a bid, one can immediately get their items. So Yang Shi bought the Scaled Dragon Grass, The ancient cauldron. The Royal Room also sent him the Heart of Forest. Yang Shi was happy to see all the items.

    " Wow! This is looking so pretty!" Bai Ruxue held the Heart of Forest as she eximed. Yang Shi smiled as he exined the uses of Heart of Forest.

    " I never thought this was so precious. Just holding this makes me feel calm and collected." Bai Ruxue said.

    " Indeed. Just using it like this can increase your cultivation speed by a little. But only after extracting the essence from it, its true value wille out. things." Yang Shi added.

    The Crescent Moon Saber''s price broke the limit of 400 spirit stones. Finally, a Royal Room bought it for 450 spirit stones.

    " Next item, a Grade Four Pill- Violet Ascension Pill. It has the same effect as the Sky Enchanting Pill, But it is useful for the Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator. One pill can increase the sess rate of breaking through the next stage by 90%. Moreover, it also lessens your bottlenecks in thete stage."

    Before the auctioneer could borate more, the price already reached 500 Spirit stones.

    " Daoist Xiong, You think I, Huan Yuan fear you? 550 spirit stones." an old man raged in a Royal Room.

    " Hmph! I don''t think your Demonic Sound Pce has enough riches topete with our Golden Sun Sect. 600 Spirit stones!" Daoist Xiong snorted.

    Yang Shi became amused as these two sect elders fought. Each of them was in Violet Pce Expansion Realm. So the Violet Ascension Pill is very useful for them.

    The pill was finally bought by Elder Huan for 700 spirit stones. But even after getting it, he couldn''t help but curse Daoist Xiong, who made him overpay.

    " Herees the main attraction of our auctions." Thedy smiled as she waved her hands. "It is divided into three parts. First, look at this."

    Thedy produced a jade bottle. It was carved with many strange carvings and runes, making it mystical.

    " This bottle is filled with Vital blood of an Ancient Beast- Purple Thunder Wyvern."

    " Vital blood of an Ancient Beast?!!" Everyone became rmed as they greedily looked at the Vital blood.

    Vital blood is one of the most important things for a creature. It contains their bloodline power. The Vital blood can be used for concocting Bloodline Fusion Pill. It can grant a cultivator the same type of bloodline as the Vital blood. And it''s only one of the many uses.

    The bloodline always has been an essential factor in cultivation. The higher the grade of the bloodline, the more potential one gets. Some of the bloodlines are so overpowered that they can skip cultivation realms while cultivating.

    " The second item!" After the curtains were lifted, there was a purple colored egg, with sparks of purple electricity dancing around it.

    " It''s an egg of the same Purple Thunder Wyvern. After hatching, It has a chance to evolve into an Ancient Beast. Moreover, this chance can be increased by the Vital blood of Purple Thunder Wyvern of Ancient Beast rank." Thedy smirked.

    " Hiss!" The audience sucked a breath of cold air. They realize all these things are connected together. They became even more eager to see thest item.

    " The final item! A fruit which bears once in five thousand years- Thundercloud Spirit Fruit."

    " Holy Fuck! The Hundred Gold Pavilion will make a killing this time." Yang Shi sighed with emotion. The Vital Blood of Purple Thunder Wyvern, The egg of Purple Thunder Wyvern, and the Thundercloud Spirit Fruit are all connected together. Yang Shi guessed that the person found all three things in the same ce.

    The Hundred Gold Pavilion really made a great n. If someone bought the egg of the Ancient Beast, they also have to buy the bottle of Vital blood to increase the potential of the hatchling.

    Certainly, no one would want their tamed beast to turn out to be a useless creature. Using the Vital blood is the same as having a guaranteed Ancient Beast as a tamed pet.

    For those who wanted to use the Vital blood to concoct Bloodline Fusion Pill, They also need to buy the Thundercloud Spirit Fruit. Thundercloud Spirit Fruit acts like a catalyst, which is the most important thing to concoct Bloodline Fusion Pill of Purple Thunder Wyvern.

    The sole value of Thundercloud Pill is not any less than the other two things. For those, who are practicing Lighting cultivation techniques, it can refine their physique, which gives their cultivation a tremendous boost.

    Moreover, From Samsara Emperor''s memory, this fruit can be used to cultivate a Lesser Lighting Body. It can be also used as a substitute for the Vital blood as it can also increase the potential of the egg of Purple Thunder Wyvern.

    The way Hundred Gold Pavilion arranged the things, One would need to buy two out the three things, else everything will be for nothing.

    " Things just got interesting." Yang Shi rubbed his palms. "Since I didn''t have any capital to buy any of these, I should just sit back and enjoy the show." Heughed.

    " Anyway, Ruxue, Who gave you that dress? I don''t think you bought that on your own ord?" Yang Shi asked Bai Ruxue.

    " I originally intended to buy some normal dress, but I met Sister Xia." Bai Ruxue nodded.

    " Xia Rong?" Yang Shi was startled. He wondered what she was doing in the store of Yin Fragrance Valley.

    " She said Young master would definitely like this outfit. Thus..." Bai Ruxue''s face flushed as she didn''t say anything else.

    " No wonder." Yang Shi narrowed his eyes. It seems there is a connection between Yin Fragrance Valley and Xia Rong.

    The bid for the egg of the Ancient beast already reached 800 spirit tones.

    " Lu Xiao, Forget about getting this egg. Only my master will get this." Ady shouted as she bade 900 spirit stones.

    " Shao Zhu? That Royal Room is for the party of the Second Prince." Yang Shi recognized her as he mumbled.

    " 1000 spirit stones." suddenly, a VIP room increased the price. Yang Shi was startled as he didn''t expect someone in the VIP room has 1000 spirit stones.

    Yang Shi used his Celestial View, but strangely, it bounced back.

    " Huh?" Yang Shi''s face turned strange. " No wonder, That person used an additionalyer of Concealing Formation to ward off any onlookers." YangShi nodded. That party got the egg of the Purple Thunder Wyvern.

    " Hmph, Who dares to mess with the affairs of the Royal family?" Both Lu Xiao and Shao Zhu were enraged, but they didn''t bid further as there were still two items.

    After fierce bidding for the Vital Blood and the Thundercloud Spirit Fruit, it was auctioned off for 1200 and 1000 Spirit stones. Strangely Lu Xiao got the Vital blood, and Shao Zhu got the Thundercloud Fruit.

    As they fell in stalemate, both of them looked at the VIP room, which bought the egg of Purple Thunder Wyvern.

 Chapter 223: Fighting with Yue Wuji Again

    Chapter 223: Fighting with Yue Wuji Again

    " Fellow Daoist, The Egg of the Purple Thunder Wyvern is something we urgently need. You bought it for 1000 spirit stones, right? I will give you 1200 spirit stones." Shao Zhu said.

    " Hmph, It''s not like we arecking any resources. I will give you 1300 spirit stones." Lu Xiao snorted.

    " 1350 spirit stones!

    " 1400 spirit stones!" Lu Xiao raised the price.

    " Fellow Daoists, I don''t think I want to sell this bottle of Vital blood." A voice said from the VIP room.

    " Damn!"

    " He opposed it?" Everyone got startled.

    " Fellow Daoist, one should know when to take a pause. I am already giving you a generous amount of spirit stones." Shao Zhu said with a forced tone.

    " As Lady Shao knows, sometimes, Materials can be more valuable than spirit stones." The voice replied politely.

    " Then just say your demands." Shao Zhu suggested.

    " I need Soul Nurturing wood of 1000 year old or a bottle of Spring of Life." The person said.

    " Whoa! Directly demanding Spring of Life?!"

    " Wait, What is a Soul Nurturing Wood?"

    They know what Spring of Life means. It''s a type of spirit water, which is used to make Rank four pills. The pill made from Spring of Life has an excessive healing property. It can regrow destroyed limbs and flesh in a few breaths of time.

    As for the Soul Nurturing Wood, although they heard about it somewhere, most people can''t recall its property.

    But YangShi''s eyes narrowed as he calcted something. Both of these items were very unusual. But bothbined, it can be used for many things.

    " Strange. I can feel that the person isn''t much powerful. Why does he need these two items?"

    Fellow Daoist, Those things are too precious. It will take some time to gather them." Lu Xiao frowned.

    " No worry, I will stay here for three days. If you get them, I will exchange them for this bottle of Vital blood." The person in the VIP room said. " The Hundred Gold Pavilion can be witness here."

    The crowd was shocked. If the Hundred Gold Pavilion remains as a witness, the transaction might proceed smoothly. After all, Even the King of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom gives face to the pavilion master.

    " Has Lord Ouyang has epted this condition?" Shao Zhu asked with caution. If the pavilion master Lord Ouyang agreed, she will try to gather the items to exchange the bottle of Vital Blood.

    One of the two white haired old men closed his eyes for some time the said, " Pavilion Master agreed. I hope the guest will give us the bottle of Vital blood a safekeeping." He added.

    They already sold that bottle to him, but since the situation became like this, the Hundred Gold Pavilion can only do this as it''s concerning the Royal family. But in any case, they will not interfere in the trade as it''s already on the guest in VIP room.

    " Since everything sorted out, this auction ends hereby."

    The auction ended as everyone returned with a satisfied expression. They saw various kinds of rare treasures and the battle between the riches. Most of them already got their desired items, so they were happy.

    " Damn it! Hurry and check about that bastard. Let me see who was messing with me earlier." Yue Wuji snorted as he searched for Yang Shi. He bought the useless Wood type cultivation technique and bought the demon cores at a very high price. He didn''t have the power to fight with him earlier as they were in the Hundred Gold Pavilion, but since the auction ended

    " Hehe, Let''s see if you can survive to enjoy your money." Heughed coldly.

    " As young master orders." His follower nodded as they hastily searched for the guests in VIP room no 43.

    " BOOM" With a heavy noise, the servants of Yue Wuji were thrown out like rice bags.

    " Hmph, Yue Wuji, aren''t you underestimating me by sending these guys to block me?" Yang Shiughed as he trampled over them.

    " It''s YOU!" Yue Wuji''s eye turned red from the anger as he recognized Yang Shi. He still hasn''t forgotten the beating from him.

    " Hmph, my n elders are here. I don''t fear you anymore." He clenched his fist as he started to walk toward Yang Shi.

    " Heh, seems someone needs another beating." Yang Shi sneered.

    He already knew that this Yue Wuji will try to mess with him, so he came out earlier. With his strength, defeating him would be easierpared to before. Moreover, he wanted to try out his new moves like the Earth Dragon Fist and his Saber intent.

    " Hmph, Don''t get too cocky. You only wonst time by fluke. I am already at the peak of the Eighth stage. Let''s see who willugh in the end." Yue Wujiughed coldly as he dashed at Yang Shi as he brandished his sword.

    " Rippling Wave sh!" His sword shone with a light blue color as he shed at Yang Shi. The des of water condensed as they looked very sharp.

    Yue Wuji used this move in the previous battle with Yang Shi, but now, this move looked even more refined. Clearly, he made progress with his battle techniques.

    Yang Shi remained calm as he clenched his fist as he slowly channeled Earth Qi from his Earth Monarch Seal. A pale, muddy yellow light condensed on his fist as he shouted

    " Earthquake Fist!"

    " BOOM"

    Both of them collided as the ground cracked from the impact. Yang Shi''s arm moved like a rising dragon, directly shattering the Rippling Wave sh of Yue Wuji. Although Yue Wuji was surprised, he didn''t back off.

    Yue Wuji''s aura surged as he changed his sword stance. His sword moved like water waves as he attacked Yang Shi with his full force.

    " Shining Wave Cut!" Yue Wuji roared as blue streaks of sword light charged at Yang Shi. It was like a rain of blue light.

    Yang hi didn''t waver as he again used his Earthquake Fist. As spiritual qi rolled in his dantian, he threw three Earthquake Fist at the iing attack.

    " BOOM! BOOM!"

    Yang Shi could feel pain as his fist was cut by those sharp sword lights. Since he wasn;t using his Gold Devil Armor, his physical body was unprotected. But this also excited Yang Shi as he fought with Yue Wuji, tempering his fighting techniques.

    Blood dripped from his fist as he also got some light cuts on his body. Yang Shi really felt admiration for Yue Wuji as he already grasped the way of sword light.

    " But can it really beat my Saber intent?" Yang Shiughed inwardly as straightened his palm. An invisible energy gathered in them. His bloodied fist looked even more fiendish than before,

    " Wait, Something isn''t right." A Yue n''s elder''s eyes shrunk.

    The n elders of Yue n were looking at the battle. Since it was a grudge between the younger generation, they can''t interfere. Moreover, it is good to let their juniors have some tempering. But they naturally won''t random anyone to destroy their n''s reputation.

    As Yue Wuji''s sword flickered, Yang Shi chopped his arm downward. A simple move, yet a sharp and domineering saber intent flowed in them.

    Yue Wuji didn''t understand, but suddenly, he spat a mouthful of blood.

 Chapter 224: Might of Saber Intent

    Chapter 224: Might of Saber Intent

    Yang Shi alreadyprehended the basics of saber intent. Even without drawing his Heaven Cmity, his intent is enough to kill anyone in the same stage as him.

    Moreover, the opponent didn''t even guard against the attack. So even if Yang Shi used only a bit of his saber intent, Yue Wuji was already injured.

    Yue Wuji felt a tyrannical aura, as his chest was cleanly cut by the chop of Yang Shi'' hand. Suddenly, a light glowed under his clothes and an inner armor appeared.

    Yue Wuji sted back as blood seeped from his mouth. His hands trembled as he clenched his sword even more tightly. He looked at Yang Shi with confused eyes.

    After tasting defeat by his hands, he went back and cultivated, practiced his battle techniques. Even his n provided the best resources for him. But now, getting defeated again, was a great blow to his confidence.

    " No, It can''t be. I can''t be defeated." Yue Wuji got up as he looked at Yang Shi. He grabbed his sword as he walked toward Yang Shi.

    " I never thought I have to use this move on you. Very well, you should be proud." Yue Wuji said calmly as he wiped the blood from his mouth. His sword glowed with hazy blue light as water vapors condensed around his body. The wounds on his body started to heal slowly.

    The water streaks gathered around his body as it formed a wing of water. But it only formed one water wing behind him, as he didn''t master the full technique.

    Waves rippled as his sword size grew. It was like Yue Wuji Was controlling a giant wave of water.

    " Sword River! Descend!"

    The water boomed like a tsunami as it came crashing at Yang Shi. Yang Shi''s hair blew as he could see the mighty momentum of that attack. The water whirled as it formed a giant sword.

    Yang Shi didn''t dare to be negligent, but he still didn''t activate his Gold Devil Armor. With a wave, the Heaven Cmity appeared in his hand as his eyes glinted with a sharp light.

    His saber hummed as Yang Shi used his saber intent. He raised his saber and shouted, " Gold Split!" His hands moved and he made multiple shes. The giant water rive was cut one, twice, and multiple times.

    As it continued to descend without stop, Yang Shi''s attack grew even faster. He jumped and used his second move, Tiger Descends from Mountain.

    Empowered with his saber intent, a ferocious tiger was materialized in the air as it tore through the attack of Yue Wuji.

    Yue Wuji snorted as his wing of water pped. Instantly, he disappeared from his position. Yang Shi''s eyes turned azure as he activated his Celestial View. Suddenly, he bent sideways as a sharp sword shed at him from behind.

    " Hmph! Petty tricks!"

    Yang Shi snorted as he shed his saber at Yue Wuji.

    Yue Wuji''s wing suddenly came forward and blocked the attack of Yang Shi. Due to powerful impact, the water wing burst apart. But slowly, it congealed once more.

    " Although I haven''t fully cultivated my n''s Clear Wave Sacred Scripture, even with one of this wing, I can evade all your attacks." Yue Wujiughed. Yang Shi merely snorted as he continued using his Gold Split.

    Yue Wuji was forced backward, but with his wing of water, he received only a small scale of damage.

    Yang Shi frowned as he looked at Yue Wuji''s wing.

    " Tackling hard with soft." He thought inwardly.

    " Heh, if you are using water, then allow me to use Fire." Yang Shiughed.

    Yue Wuji had a bad premonition as he saw Yang Shi wasughing.

    "Clear Wave Steps."

    Yue Wuji straighten his sword as the ground beneath his feet became distorted. His speed suddenly increased. Yang Shi realized that Yue Wuji was using an agility technique, be he didn''t care.

    His spirit me bloomed as the Crimson Lily in his dantian empowered it. A beautiful flower of me bloomed on the left hand of Yang Shi. The Great Yang Sr me Art slowly revolved in his dantian.

    " Spirit me?" Yue Wuji''s eyes shrunk as he looked at the burning flower. Yang Shi pressed it on his de as the me spread over his saber. The saber looked even more tyrannical as mes zed over it.

    " Let''s see how much your water shield canst." Yang Shi snorted. He channeled both his Fire Qi and Metal Qi as he used thisbination of energy to execute the Gold Split.

    " ming Gold Split!

    With me and metal qi mixed, the mes zed like molten gold. Yang Shi''s saber shed at the Yue Wuji as it created a fiery tornado of shes.

    *Sizzzzz* The water sizzled as it became vapors instantly.

    "Sacred Swan Spirit!" Yue Wuji howled as he pointed his sword at Yang Shi and made a piercing attack. The water formed a giant sword. It lookedpletely corporeal as an image of a giant swan appeared. The swan with white feather pped its wings as it charged at Yang Shi.

    " Yue Wuji finally used his Primordial Spirit?" The Yue n elders became grave. Since Yue Wuji was going all out, his opponent isn''t simple anymore.

    The Swan spirit merged with the sword as suddenly, numerable small swords appeared around it. It was like the swan pping its wing, the attack reached Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi took a deep breath as his Spirit me fully materialized, and the mes on his saber became even more vigorous. Hepletely immersed his mind in the saber intent as the spiritual qi in his dantian suddenly got sucked by his spirit me.

    He raised his saber as sharp saber intent came out piercing. Along with his spirit me, Yang Shi mustered all of his strength as he shed vertically at Yue Wuji.

    *BOOM!"

    The ground trembled as a fiery arc of saber light streaked. The image of swan cleaved by the ming arc as it instantly became vaporized. It was like a pir of me descending from heaven, cutting straight at Yue Wuji.

    Yue Wuji''s face became rmed as he hurriedly condensed a shield of water, but the sh tore through it like a paper. Yue Wuji''s armor turned bright as Yang Shi''s attacknded on it.

    *BOOOOM!"

    Yue Wuji''s vision turned blurry as he flew back like a broken kite. The Yue n''s elder''s face changed drastically as his body blinked from his ce as he arrived near Yue Wuji and grabbed him.

    Yue Wuji''s vomited a mouthful of blood as his face was ghastly pale. Cracks spread on his inner armor as its luster became dim. The elder hurriedly fed him a pill and used his spiritual energy to stabilize his body.

    Yang Shi stabbed his saber on the ground as he looked at Yue Wuji.

    " Junior, You went too far." The elder spoke icily as he looked at Yang Shi.

 Chapter 225: Meeting with Old Ghost Again

    Chapter 225: Meeting with Old Ghost Again

    The Yue n elders saw the fight till the end. Yue Wuji can be considered a genius at his age, but now, he is lying on the ground like a dead dog. There was a deep gush of a wound on his stomach caused by Yang Shi''s sh.

    " Hmph! You were so ruthless to our young master. Were you trying to kill him?" The elder asked coldly. He was a Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator, so just with his will, a powerful force fell on Yang Shi.

    " Esteemed elder, fist and legs do not have eyes. If I wanted to kill him, do you think he would be breathing now?" Yang Shi replied calmly as he looked at that Yue n Elder.

    Although a pressure of spiritual qi fell on his body, he didn''t flinch as he silently activated his Gold Devil Body.

    The elder''s eyes shrunk slightly as he looked at Yang Shi''s nonchnt attitude. Although Yue Wuji was injured, it wasn''t life threatening. But defeating Yue Wuji in broad daylight, the Yue n will be a target of mockery. Moreover, he himself does not know about Yang Shi.

    But the elder''s eyes were very sharp as he noticed many peculiarities, " Since when such a person of younger generation came to Azure Wind City?" He wondered.

    First of all, Yang Shi''s Fire type battle technique defeated Yue Wuji''s Clear Wave Sacred Technique. Clear Wave Sacred Technique was a Mystic grade battle technique, which came from Yue n''s Clear Wave Sacred Scripture, a Heaven Grade water attribute cultivation technique. So with this calction, Yang Shi''s technique is at least a Mystic grade technique or higher.

    Moreover, looking at his spirit me, he can tell that it is at least a grade three spirit me. Spirit me was mostly used by cksmiths and alchemists. Even a grade two spirit me is highly sought after, not to mention a grade three spirit me.

    Even Master grade alchemists and cksmiths will fight for it. It will be weird if Yang Shi doesn''t belong to any big powerhouse. Nevertheless, he still had to take action.

    " Attacking my n''s disciple, your guts are really big. Hmph,e with me to the Yue n to admit your wrongdoing."

    The Elder shouted as his divine sense attacked Yang Shi''s soul. It wasn''t any deadly attack, but the elder just wanted to teach him a lesson.

    Yang Shi''s soul trembled as the elder''s divine sensended on it. His soul was already much weaker than the average Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator due to the Soul Extinguishing Talisman. It was like a mountain like invisible force pressed on his soul.

    His physical body is strong enough to resist the spiritual pressure of the elder, but his soul was his weak point. Yang Shi''s face turned red as he activated his Azure Lotus Primordial spirit.

    An azure light enveloped his soul as the pressure from the divine sense of the Yue n elder lessened greatly.

    " Damn it, only if my soul was recovered to the peak, I wouldn''t have faced this much pressure." Yang Shi cursed in his heart. The Elder frowned as he increased his power of divine sense.

    " Elder He, it''s not appropriate for you to bully the younger generation." A voice startled Elder He as he looked at the owner of the voice. It was none other than Mo Shan.

    " So it is true that your cultivation has recovered, Mo Shan?" Elder He''s eyes narrowed as he looked at Mo Shan. " Why are you helping this brat?"

    " This youngster can be considered as a benefactor of my n, that'' why." Mo Shanughed as he said.

    " But no matter what, he heavily injured our n''s young master. He must face the consequences!" Elder He snorted.

    " Is Yue Wuji is incapable of doing that? Has your n epted the defeat of your younger generation?" Mo Shanughed. " What sort of nonsense is it?" Elder He said angrily, " Don''t you think our Yue n fears your Mo n."

    " I am not thinking anything. I am just saying that elders should stay out from the younger generation''s feud." Mo Shan said lightly. Elder He was furious, but he knew the position of Mo Shan in the Mo n. He was the most likely candidate to be the next Mo n''s head after Mo Qian.

    " Elder He, Yue Wuji was just lightly injured. If you don''t take him now, his injury might really turn grave." Yang Shi said seriously as he showed concern for Yue Wuji. Elder He''s face twitched as he red at Yang Shi.

    " Don''t get too cocky, brat. In Azure Wind City, no one dares to defy our Yue n." Elder He said as he looked deeply at Yang Shi. Then lifting Yue Wuji, he left hurriedly.

    " I thank uncle Mo to help me." Yang Shi cupped his fists toward Mo Shan. " It was nothing. Even if I didn''t act, your identity as a Master cksmith should have saved you." Mo Shanughed. Yang Shi merelyughed lightly as he didn''t answer.

    " Young master, is everything is ok?" Bai Ruxue came as she looked at Yang Shi''s bloodied clothes. She was shocked as she was asked to stay with Mo n members.

    " It''s nothing, just some minor bruises." Yang Shiughed as he put his saber on his back. After battling with Yue Wuji, Yang Shi felt his understanding of the saber intent has increased somewhat. He realized that he need more practical experiences to digest the knowledge of the Samsara Emperor.

    " Damn, Brother Yang, You are really awesome. You have beaten Yue Wuji, who was using his n''s main cultivation art." Mo Yiughed loudly as he looked at Yang Shi with admiration. As Yang Shi was talking his face suddenly twitched as he looked at a corner of the street.

    " Brother Mo, I suddenly remembered some business. I will returnter. Ruxue, go with brother Mo as I willete." Yang Shi said as he hurriedly walked off.

    As Yang Shi was talking, he suddenly heard a voice transmission of Old Ghost in his mind. Mentalmunication is very easy after reaching Violet Pce Expansion Realm, let alone the Old Ghost, who was an Origin Core stage cultivator.

    " Heh, It would be weird if he didn''t call me. After all, thanks to him, I got the Heart of Forest." Yang Shi smiled helplessly. It was indeed Old Ghost. Who bought the Heart of Forest with two hundred spirits stones and gave it to Yang Shi.

    " I bet that girl is going to y me." Yang Shi chuckled as he realized that Shen Yanyu was also in that Royal room.

    After a few turns, Yang Shi reached an isted alley. After climbing a wall, Yang Shi entered a garden. There were trees on both sides, making it a shady ce.

    " Where are they?" Yang Shi stood under a tree as he waited for them. He didn''t lower his vignce as his Celestial view was activated. Everything around him was crystal clear to his eyes. But sudden;y, his eyes flickered as he sensed danger.

    Two daggers appeared in both of his hands as he bolted ahead from the tree.

    <em>*SWISH SWISH SWISH*</em>

    Three arrows stuck in the ground, where Yang Shi stood before. Yang Shi saw multiple sparkles around him as dozens of arrows rained on him from all directions.

    Light flickered in Yang Shi''s eyes as he activated his Soaring Eagle Immortal Steps as his body became a blur of light.

    <em>*CLANG CLANG CLANG*</em>

    Yang Shi'' daggers whipped out like a serpent as it countered all iing arrows. As he was having a difficult time, he saw a figure dart behind him as it knocked its bow.

    Yang Shi suddenly felt a danger as he hurriedly backed away.

    *BOOM! BOOM!*

    The new arrows darted toward Yang Shi. But this time, it looked more like beams of light than real arrows.

    Like a flower opening its petal, the rays of light fell on Yang Shi. The daggers rotated in his hands, and dozens of arcs of light flickered in front of him.

    " Phantom Cut!"

 Chapter 226: Shen Yanyus Primordial Spirit

    Chapter 226: Shen Yanyu''s Primordial Spirit

    Yang Shi''s dagger was faster like wind, but some of the arrows of light still managed to evade his counterattack. The arrow pierced his shoulders ad thigh. Yang Shi winced in pain but saw no blood wasing out from there.

    " Miss Shen, if you want to talk, why not talk in a civilized manner? Attacking a guest from nowhere, I don''t think that how should you treat someone?" Yang Shi wiped his sweat as he stood there doing nothing.

    " Hmph! You have indeed improved from the past, albeit a little." Shen Yanyu appeared behind a tree. She was wearing tight ck clothes as her face was hidden behind a ck veil. But her eyes were more than enough to hook someone''s soul.

    " Why didn''t you use your sword? You used your swordst time." Shen Yanyu asked as she gazed at Yang Shi. Yang Shi put his dagger back as he smiled, " Drawing out my sword wasn''t necessary." He shrugged.

    " Hmph, Don''t get too arrogant. I haven''t even used my true power." She Yanyu scoffed. She held the bow which was forged by Yang Shi.

    " Aiiz, Little Yang already has grown to such extent. This old man can''t see through you anymore." Old Ghost coughed as he also came out. He looked nothing special, just like another normal old man. But Yang Shi knew that under this normal appearance, there is a powerful cultivator.

    " Thank you for your timely help, old man. Don''t worry, I will pay all your spirit stones back." YangShi smiled as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " Hehe, It''s nothing. Little Yang and I can be considered old friends. But there is a small issue. Lending you two hundred, our funds have been exhausted." Old Ghost smiled.

    " Well, I will give you all

    the spirit stones. I just need some time" Yang Shi''s face was still smiling. Suddenly, the atmosphere got silent.

    " You" Yang Shi stuttered.

    " I hope you can return the amount in three days." Shen Yanyu opened her mouth.

    The atmosphere got silent again. Yang Shi looked at both of them with wide eyes.

    " How the hell I am going to pay two hundred spirit stones in three days? I would have bought the Heart of the Forest by myself." Yang Shi shouted. " At least, give me one year or two."

    " Little Yang, I would have agreed to your request, but unfortunately, there is a change in the n now." Old Ghost sighed. " Moreover, You can just return the Heart of Forest to me." Shen Yanyu added.

    " You practice a Metal attribute technique. Why will you need this Wood attribute item, a conflicting element?"

    " Do I need to report you all the things? Why should I tell you?" Yang Shi asked tly. He was a little displeased by Shen Yanyu''s behavior. " Little Yang, She was just impatient." Old Ghost said.

    " So, What''s the matter? Why do you urgently need spirit stones?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

    " Let''s chat while having tea." Old Ghost beckoned them.

    " We suddenly need spirit stones to hire a Grandmaster cksmith and Runemaster to forge some equipment. As you know, the entrance of Mystic Spirit Realm will open soon, so we need to make some preparation." Old Ghost said.

    " Even so, You don''t need that much amount of spirit stone in three days?" Yang hi questioned. " Well, there is another thing we want to buy." Shen Yanyu spoke, " Spirit Nurturing Wood."

    Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as he looked at them. " Are you going for the Vital blood of Purple Thunder Wyvern? Ah right, The first prince'' faction seems to get the egg of the ancient beast." Yang Shi clicked his tongue.

    " Yes, The Soul Nurturing

    Wood is very scarce in the Southern Domain, as the condition here is unsuitable for Soul Nurturing Tree. However, there are some ces where we can get Soul Nurturing Wood." Old Ghost said.

    " Even you get Soul Nurturing Wood, there is a chance of not getting the Vital blood. What if the Second prince''s faction gets it or the Water of Life?" Yang Shi asked. " That is the issue. But getting the Water of Life is also very difficult." Old Ghost said.

    " I understand, but I really can''t give you the Heart of Forest." Yang Shi shook his head. But in his brain, he already started to calcte many things.

    " How about it? I will craft you your desirable weapons as payment for now?" Yang Shi proposed. He was also eager to forge a True grade weapon.

    " Are you sure? We are talking about a True grade weapon? You surely won''t able, unless you can use your Soul qi?" Old Ghost asked as he looked at Yang Shi with interested eyes.

    " No wonder, I can feel a weak fluctuation of divine sense inside you."

    " Hehe, It''s just a piece of good fortune I acquired by a chance." Yang Shi didn''t deny it.

    Sure, he can hide his divine sense from the Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator, but the Old Ghost is an Origin Core Formation Stage cultivator.

    " Awakening the soul even before condensing the pce foundation, Your path toward Violet Pce Expansion Realm will be much easier. Then why are you still stuck in the Seventh stage of Primordial Spirit Realm?" Shen Yanyu asked.

    " At this point, Seventh stage, Ninth stage, or Half step Violet Pce Expansion Realm stage is meaningless to me. Due to some problems in my Foundation root, I am currently unable to form a pce foundation." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Oh." Shen Yanyu nodded, but Yang Shi can see a light glee in her eyes.

    " I see you already reached the peak of Primordial Spirit Realm. Don''t worry, even at my current stage, I can still defeat you with ease." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " We will soon find that." Shen Yanyu picked her bow as she looked at Yang Shi.

    " If you survive this attack, then I will truly approve you."

    She smiled as she nocked her bow at Yang Shi. Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed a he felt a dangerous sensation.

    Shen Yanyu''s pupils brightened as the bow burst with light. From its original appearance, it became twice as long. Moreover, an illusory hand appeared behind Shen Yanyu as it pulled the bowstring.

    Slowly, a faintly discernible figure of ady appeared behind Shen Yanyu, emitting a holy and sacred aura.

    " Indeed, This Primordial Spirit is from ''''that'''' ce." Yang Shi mumbled as he looked at Shen Yanyu.

    An arrow already condensed in her bow, pointing at Yang Shi. Just by looking at it, Yang Shi'' felt his eyes getting pierced.

    " Hoh, Intent of Archery?" Yang Shi spoke with mild surprise.

    " It seems you are not dumb as you look. Although it''s still basic stage, it is indeed Intent of Archery." Shen Yanyu said proudly.

    " Are you still going to face it?" She asked again.

    " You are not the only one whoprehended an intent." Yang Shi smiled mockingly.

    " Hmph! Sacred Lotus Arrow, Descend!" The spirit behind Shen Yanyu released her hands a ray of light shot straightly at Yang Shi. The air sizzled as the arrow of light traveled.

    In the midway, the light bloomed like a lotus as its petal covered in all directions, covering all the escape routes of Yang Shi.

    It happened in a split second, while Yang Shi drew out his saber as he uttered,

    " Mountain Cut!"

    Old Ghost''s body trembled a he looked at Yang Shi''s move. He instantly recognized the move as it came from the Heaven Saber Seven Arts. He never expected that Yang Shi would already be able to utilize the third move.

    Yang Shi''s saber hummed as he made a casual horizontal cut. Suddenly, a faint looking aura charged out. The ground split cleanly as the Mountain Cut met the Sacred Lotus Arrow.

    " BOOOOOMM"

    Both attacks collided as an explosion happened in midair. Still, a faint amount of saber intent managed to reach near Shen Yanyu.

    Shen Yanyu gasped in surprise as she tried to knock another arrow, but then, her bow suddenly cracked as the string broke.

 Chapter 227: Planning Next

    Chapter 227: nning Next

    " Damn it. It seems the bow couldn''t handle the power of my primordial spirit." Shen Yanyu cursed in her heart as she fully used her primordial spirit. A humanoid phantom appeared behind her a Yang Shi fully see it.

    It was a spirit of a woman, wearing a priestess robe and holding a wooden stick. Her eyes were bright like the moon as her hair waspletely green. From her long and pointed ears, Yang Shi saw it as a mature elf.

    " Holy Barrier!" The Elf spirit mmed her wooden stick to the ground as a dome or light appeared around Shen Yanyu.

    Yang Shi''s saber intent flew as itnded on her shield. The shield trembled violently as cracks spread over it.

    Shen Yanyu''s spiritual qi boiled as she maintained the shield. Finally, the shield cracked but it managed to stop Yang Shi''s attack.

    "BOOM"

    Shen Yanyu was forced backward as he looked at Yang Shi with wide eyes. Yang Shi still held his saber and looked at Shen Yanyu. His posture looked majestic as he put back the saber behind his back.

    " Good, good!" The Old Ghostughed as he pped. " Little Yang has already shown his strength. There is no problem now." Heughed.

    " Isn''t it is very interesting how you guys are trusting me? I mean, we are nothing but strangers." Yang Shi chuckled as he sat on a stone chair. He calmly gazed at them as he felt it is time for rification.

    " What strangers? Aren''t we business partners? We help each other and make profits." Old Ghost said. His gaze was also serene.

    " Really? Perhaps there are many things which I don''t know. Something like your origins?" Yang Shi smiled.

    " Hehe, Little Yang will know in near future. It''s not that we are keeping you in dark, but the time isn''t suitable for that." Old Ghost replied with an honest tone.

    " Miss Shen, Why you need to go to such extent to use your bow? Now it''s damaged." He chuckled as he looked at Shen Yanyu.

    " Thi bow? It is already gotten weak for me. Anyway, since you owe us hundreds of spirit stones, You should just forge a True grade bow for me." Shen Yanyu said casually as she threw away the bow.

    " Hah, do you think it is easy to forge a True grade artifact? I may be a genius in forging, but that doesn''t make me omnipotent." Yang Shi smiled. " Then just return our spirit stones. It is simple as that." Shen Yanyu retorted.

    " Fine, I will see." Yang Shi mumbled with a displeased tone. Quasi True grade artifacts are nothing for him, but he never tried making a True grade weapon.

    For making a true grade weapon, he needs to learn the basics of rune inscriptions. In spirit grade weapons, one had to draw Spirit diagrams, whereas, in True grade weapons, Spirit diagrams evolve to runes.

    The reason True grade artifacts are rare isn''t because it''s hard to forge. It is rare because after forging, it is hard to inscribe the runes over it.

    One had to do the job of both a cksmith and a Runemaster simultaneously to forge a True grade weapon.

    Most cultivators can''t do both jobs at the same time. A cksmith may not have the talent to inscribe runes, same for a Runemaster, whose physical body is frail to forge any weapon.

    So to forge True grade weapon, it ismon for both a cksmith and runemaster to coborate. While a cksmith forges the body of the artifact, the runemaster inscribes runes over it.

    Of course, some geniuses can do both works by themselves. They are called Treasure Refiners. But Treasure Refiner is a rare upation for many reasons.

    It requires proficiency in both arts of cksmithing and Rune Inscription and has powerful control over physical and soul strength.

    " I will see it in a few days. Of course, I can''t just jump from Mater grade cksmith to Grandmaster grade cksmith in a single night." Yang Shi added.

    " As long as you have confidence. And yes, You shoulde to the Blood Moon Hall. Some missions require your assistance. " Old Ghost said.

    " Really? I don''t want to do this job anymore." Yang Shi sighed.

    He remembered how he killed Wei Cang and it raised amotion in Azure Wind City. He already heard the news that the city guards are investigating the matter.

    " Well, Since you have chosen this path, it will be difficult to back away, Since you already killed a dozen of people, a hundred won''t matter, right? Moreover, the rewards also increase for the tasks." Old Ghost exined.

    " You are our precious Gold Moon assassin, how can we lose you?" Heughed. Yang Shi shook his head as he sighed.

    " Since everything is concluded, I should take my leave." Yang Shi said as he turned to leave. He used his Soaring Eagle Immortal Steps as he vanished.

    " His strength really grew. Hah, To think he already learned the third movement of Heaven Saber Seven Arts." Old Ghost smiled wryly. " It seemsing to the Southern Province was a right choice."

    " Hmph, If it wasn''t for the Mysterious Spirit Realm, I would have already ascended to Violet Pce Expansion Realm." Shen Yanyu pouted.

    " We have already used this month''s allowance. We have to do our best to strengthen the First Prince''s faction."

    " I am very sure that the item we are searching is in the Mysterious Spirit Realm. I have checked some historical records that the Mysterious Spirit Realm was indeed a part of the ancient Sky Sealing Set."

    " Since our progenitor once visited Sky Sealing Sect master, Mysterious Spirit Realm s what we are searching for." Old Ghost nodded.

    " I hope I can help elder sister this time." Shen Yanyu muttered.

    Yang Shi traveled back to the Mo n estate. As he was about to enter his room, he saw Bai Ruxue wasn''t there.

    " Eh? Where is she?" Yang Shi became a bit surprised as he went to the courtyard.

    " Haah!" Bai Ruxue brandished her sword as she shed in empty air. Jade green light swirled around the sword as it burst out.

    " Spiraling Jade sh" Bai Ruxue condensed her Jade Yin qi as she made instantaneous shes.

    Again, Her legs moved as she became a sh of green light, Her figure crossed dozen of a meter. Although her movements were very fast, each and every step she took looked graceful like she was sliding over a jade stone.

    " Jade Lightning Cut!"

    Bai Ruxue waved the sword in her hand. The sword became bright as it shed like lightning. A rock in front of her was cleanly cut into multiple pieces.

    " Still not enough." Bai Ruxue breathed lightly as she felt someone was approaching her from behind.

    " Hah!" She bent slightly as she made a backward sh.

    Not fast." Bai Ruxue hit nothing as a voice spoke in her side. With a fling, the sword was snatched from her.

    " Young master, You are back." Bai Ruxue became surprised.

    " You are working hard." Yang Shi wiped her sweat with a cloth.

 Chapter 228: Path of Elixirs

    Chapter 228: Path of Elixirs

    " Your understanding towards Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art has increased. This technique was truly meant for your Nine Yin Empyrean Body." Yang Shi smiled. " What you are practicing is Jade Lake Sword Technique.

    " As its name implies, it uses your Jade Yin qi as a medium. This sword technique was meant for women, so you need to add more flexibility. Moves can be elegant, but not shy or unnecessary." Yang Shi threw a piece of rock into mid air as his sword shed.

    The stone split into multiple pieces as it fell on the ground. Each piece''s surface was smooth like it was cut cleanly.

    " I think I understand now." Bai Ruxue nodded as she took her sword. She tried to use the move again.

    This time, she used her sword ording to Yang Shi''s advice. The jade light shed as the air whistled. There were clean sword cuts on the ground.

    " You are improving fast." Yang Shi nodded.

    " Young master, I am already at peak of the sixth stage. But I still haven''t awakened a Primordial spirit." Bai Ruxue said with a little dissatisfaction.

    " Primordial spirit, eh? Don''t worry about it. Since you have Nine Yin Empyrean physique, You will awake a primordial spirit sooner orter."

    " But" Bai Ruxue was still hesitant.

    " Ruxue, Primordial spirit is nothing more than an essory. Many of the supreme existence do not have a primordial spirit when they were young. Did that stop them from being a powerful cultivator?"

    " No. Primordial Spirits are nothing more than just additional help. What you need is a firm belief in yourself. You don''tck in the physical constitution nor in cultivation technique, so why be worried?" Yang Shi patted her head.

    " I understand now, young master." Bai Ruxue nodded.

    " But currently, the thing youck most is experience. Just practicing battle techniques without actual battle is futile. You need to gainbat experience." Yang Shi spoke.

    " But where I should go?" Bai Ruxue asked in confusion.

    " Hmm, there is a ce." Yang Shi thought for a while as he decided. " Let''s visit there tomorrow."

    " En, As young master says." Bai Ruxue nodded.

    " Mm, I wonder if Ruxue still has that dress from Yin Fragrance store. Ahem, I just wanted to appreciate its beauty once again." Yang Shi coughed lightly as he spoke without any trace of shame.

    "Ahhhh! Young master is being a pervert again." Bai Ruxue giggled with a flushed face as she chose to run away."

    " Willfulss." Yang Shi sighed. But deep down he knew, Bai Ruxue won''t deny his request.

    " But now, gathering spirit stones is an important matter." Yang Shi sat on a tone chair as he gazed at the sky.

    Sure, He knew that Old Ghost won''t press him to repay the spirit stones for the time being, but Yang Shi also does not like to remain buried under debt. He wished to repay it as soon as possible.

    " Hmm, best ways to hoard spirit stones are naturally pill concoction, artifact forging, and talisman inscription. But it is only possible when these things are in higher a grade." Yang Shi murmured.

    Yang Shi can refine high tier Spirit grade artifacts with ease. As for the Quasi True tier, it is also like normal difficulty for Yang Shi. But gathering all spirit stones from just by Quasi True grade artifact will be severely difficult.

    " If all, the best way is producing something which people of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom has never seen." But even with this n, Yang Shi has to be cautious.

    For example, Since he has the memory of the Samsara Emperor, Heaven grade techniques were like cabbage for him. Yet, it is considered a priceless item in Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. If he took out a few, let alone a hundred, he might get several thousands of spirit stones.

    But the moment Yang Shi reveals them; he will be hunted down by countless cultivators. Hell, everybody will want to monopolize him and squeeze out his all secrets.

    " Mm, I need to be creative. Pill concoction is a good idea, but currently, I have no intention to master the art of alchemy." Yang Shi shook his head. Since he is already be proficient in cksmithing, cultivating alchemy will be awkward for him.

    It is not that he can''t be an alchemist. After all, he has the memory of Samsara Emperor, who lived for countless years. All he needs is time and practice, but unfortunately, Yang Shi got neither of them.

    " Wait, alchemy doesn''t only mean pill concoction!" Yang Shi''s eyes sparkled as he thought of an idea.

    Alchemy has myriads of branches and pill refining was one of them. Herb nting, alchemical studies, poison concoction are also considered as many paths of Dao of Alchemy. Among them, Elixir master is also a path.

    In the beginning of Dao of Alchemy, pill refining wasn''t a concept. Earliest beings used to directly ingest the medicinal herbs. Later, they squeezed out their essence and blended it with other herbs for increased efficiency. This was named as the Elixir.

    But elixir refining had very limited scope as the effects were mostly lost due to wild extraction of the essence from the herb. But itid the foundation of pill concoction, where using me and heat, the essence of herbs concentrated into the solid form of a pill.

    After pill refining was introduced, elixir refining became a less traveled path. But many alchemists still researched it to gain an understanding towards the Grand dao of Alchemy.

    As the era passed and alchemy became more and more refined, pill concoction became the most mainstream path while elixir refining was almost forgotten. But there are still countless form of elixirs that can rival low level medicinal pills.

    The greatest advantages of elixirs are that; they require much less time and effort to be prepared. Moreover, it can be mass produced unlike medicinal pills.

    The biggest disadvantage is the forms of elixirs. With a little wrong proportion of essence, the elixir will turn into liquid garbage. Another defect is that people think it can be only used for low grade cultivators.

    But Yang Shi inherited all the knowledge regarding alchemy from Samsara Emperor. So with a little tweaking, he can minimize all of the cons.

    " If I start selling elixirs with effect same as pills, I will earn twice as much as half of the effort. Moreover, the concept of the elixir is rtively strange to Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. I can earn more by mystifying it." Yang Shi pped his thighs.

    He remembered his crude concoction of Mortal Shedding Elixir when he was traveling from the Blue Sparrow kingdom. That elixir was the lowest of its kind and it was effecting as Yang Shi''s cultivation barely even reached the Spiritual Ascension realm. The Sublime Yang Elixir, which also exploded among the men is also another example.

    Now, if he recreates such elixir with more powerful medicinal herbs, the effect will be ten times, no, hundred times greater.

    Most cultivators focus on refining spiritual qi. But they also know that improvement of the physical body is also necessary for cultivation. Now, if Yang Shi is able to do it with his elixir, he will surely earn a lot.

    " Hehe, I need to do some preparations." Yang Shi stood up as he went straight to meet Mo Shan and Mo Yi.

    " What? Little Yang wants to leave?" Mo Shan became mildly surprised as he asked.

    " Is there any problem with our hospitality? Brother Yang can tell us." Mo Yi also got worried.

    " It is not like that. I simply felt that having a personal residence would be much better. Moreover, I wish to start my own business, so naturally, I need some help from the Mo n." Yang Shi bowed lightly.

    " I hope uncle Mo can help me to get a house in the central market of Azure Wind City."

 Chapter 229: Setting Up a Business

    Chapter 229: Setting Up a Business

    " You want to open up a store in the central market?" Mo Shan fell into thought.

    The central market can be considered as the business hub of Azure Wind city. Not only the Hundred Gold Pavilion is there, but many other powerhouses also have their stores in the central market. These stores are an important source of ie for powerhouses.

    Everything is avable in the central market. From medicinal pills to weapons, cultivation techniques, battle techniques, talismans, one can find all sorts of things there.

    Getting a residence in the central market was much more troublesome than anywhere in Azure Wind City.

    But Yang Shi knew that Mo Shan can at least do this for him. That''s why he didn''t shy to ask for help from him.

    " Hmm, Getting a residence there will be a bit troublesome. One needs to get the approval of the Captain of the Royal City guard. Then another approval from the Manager of Azure Wind City." Mo Shan spoke.

    " Uncle Mo can rest assured. Just think that my store will be a coboration between Mo n and me. I will naturally give some part of the profit to Mo n." Yang Shi said.

    " No, no. That would be unnecessary. How could we take some of your profits?" Mo Shan shook his head.

    " Little Yang is a benefactor of my n. I can surely do this for you." Mo Shan nodded as he looked at Mo Yi.

    " Ask Fifth Elder toplete all procedures. There is a restaurant under the Mo n on the eastern side of the central market."

    " I remember that it''s not making much profit in past six months. That is perfect for Yang Shi." Mo Shan spoke.

    " As father says." Mo Yi nodded as he looked at Yang Shi. " Brother Yang, I wonder what sort of business you want to start? Are you perhaps looking to set up a cksmithing store?"

    " Hehe, It''s a secret for now. Don''t worry, Brother Mo. You will soon know." Yang Shi smiled.

    He passed a storage pouch to Mo Yi and said, " I hope it will enough for all expenditures. If not, Brother Mo can ask more." Yang Shi said.

    Mo Yi saw inside the storage pouch were heaps of gold coins. It was around 15 million gold coins in that pouch. Mo Yi got shocked to see that amount of gold coins.

    Although he knew that in front of spirit stones, gold is nothing more than dust, but currently, gold is still used as the mainstream currency. He was also a second generation rich young master, be even he doesn''t have such amount of liquid assets.

    " Brother Yang, we don''t need your money. Consider the residence as your parting gift." Mo Yi chuckled as he returned the storage pouch.

    " Well, It''s not like I am going ten thousand miles away?" Yang Shi felt odd after hearing Mo Yi. But he didn''t insist on them anymore.

    To be honest, Yang Shi knew that Mo Yi will refuse his money in the first ce. So he just yed a little psychological trick to show his sincerity. Since he is getting free goods, Yang Shi naturally won''t spend a single copper coin.

    " Brother Mo, I will take my leave then. I still have to prepare lots of things." Yang Shi left as he first went to Longevity Hall to buy herbs.

    Longevity Hall has vast amount of herbs and pills. It got all items Yang Shi needed for this moment.

    " For now, I will just buy everything under 500 year age." Yang Shi pondered. Even he felt that using more aged and powerful herbs for elixir brewing will be bit wasteful.

    Herbs are also divided into ranks along with their age. For general understanding, every six sixty-year cycles is considered as one rank.

    It means every 300 years is known as one rank.

    Herbs with age of 300 years or less will be considered as rank one herb.

    Simrly, herbs with age between age of 300-600 years can be considered as rank two herbs. The ranks of herbs are corresponding to the ranks of pill which can be concocted by it.

    For example, rank two herbs can be used to refine rank two medicinal pills, rank three herbs can refine rank three pills. It is much difficult to produce higher rank pills with lower rank herbs.

    In Azure Wind Ancient Kingdom, rank four pills can be considered as the most luxurious item, and rank five pills are rare enough to create a bloodbath among upper echelons. Rank five pills are considered as a precious item in Central Domain.

    " Hmm, To gain maximum profit, I need to target the poption. Elixir with the effect of rank two pills will sell like hotcakes."

    " As for rank three elixirs, Hehe, It will create huge waves in Azure Wind City." Yang Shi rubbed his palms as he strode to the counter of Longevity Hall.

    " Esteemed guest, what can I help you?" The middle aged man near the help desk asked.

    " En, I need Stifling Spirit Grass, Fragrant Earth Mushroom, Nether Roc Grass, Twisted Root Flower" Yang Shi listed out at least a few dozens of medicinal herbs.

    The middle aged receptionist was cking at first, but after Yang Shi started listing out, he sweated as he couldn''t remember all names at once, So he started noting down.

    " Guest, Are you sure you need all these herbs?" The receptionist asked awkwardly.

    " Yes, is there any problem?" Yang Shi asked in confusion.

    " Nothing. So, taking five taels as each" As the receptionist started to calcte, He was stopped by Yang Shi.

    " Wait a minute, Five taels? I need a hundred taels of each ingredient." Yang Shi corrected him.

    The receptionist''s face turned dark as he looked at Yang Shi. He felt that this brat was causing trouble here.

    " Hmph, Hundred taels? Do you think herbs are vegetables? Can you even afford to take a hundred taels of one ingredient?" He snorted. He was already reaching his limits.

    " Hah, talking about money? How about this?" Yang Shi threw him the storage pouch.

    When the receptionist looked inside, his face turned shocked as he saw arge number of gold coins.

    Just by looking at it, it is more than ten million gold coins here. His hands trembled as the storage pouch almost fell from his hand.

    " Is that enough?" Yang Shi asked with a polite smile.

    " Errmm, It is already enough. But there is a problem. Guest can''t buy this amount of herbs in one go." The receptionist stuttered.

    " Why?" Yang Shi frowned as he asked.

    " It is a rule in Longevity Hall. Unless you are an Adept Alchemist or gain authorization from the Elders, buying herbs in bulk is not possible." The receptionist exined.

    Yang Shi''s brows knitted but he understood the reason.

    If everyone starts to buyrge amounts of herbs, the stocks of herbs in Longevity Hall will decrease greatly.

    After that, a famine of herbs will appear in Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. So Longevity Hall has to control the market of herbs.

    " Hmm, Although I am not an Adept Alchemist, will this thing do?" Yang Shi took out a badge as he showed it to that receptionist. The receptionist was startled as he examined the badge.

    " Heavens! Master grade cksmith?!" He nearly jumped from his seat. He couldn''t believe that someone of Yang Shi'' age is a Master grade cksmith.

    Longevity Hall was also a part of Golden Fire Tower. Since Yang Shi was a certified cksmith from Golden Fire Tower, Longevity Hall could not dare to underestimate Yang Shi''s position.

    " Wait a minute, dear guest. I will ask out the Elders." The middle aged man got up as he hurried inside the main hall.

    Chapter 230: Mystery of the Ancient Cauldron

    " Hmm, Where did things went wrong? This form should be wless."

    A white haired old man was gazing at a piece of paper as he murmured. He was constantly writing on another paper and calcting with his fingers. His expression was pensive as he scratched his head.

    " Elder Lu!" The middle aged receptionist came running as he bowed in front of him.

    " What is it?!" Elder Lu suddenly snapped as he red at that receptionist. The outburst of Elder Lu scared the receptionist.

    " How many times I have told you not to disturb me for unnecessary causes?" Elder Lu pinched his forehead as he tried to calm himself. " Now tell, What is it?"

    " Elder Lu, a young man came and purchased medicinal herbs. But the amount he needed is vast, so naturally, I had to ask the elder." The receptionist said.

    " Eh? Buying herbs in masses? How much he is asking?" Elder Lu asked.

    The middle aged man gave Elder Lu a long list and said, " He wants a hundred taels of each of them."

    " What?! Cheng Yu, are you messing with me?" Elder Lu''s face turned dark as he looked at Cheng Yu.

    " It is true, Elder Lu. He even gave around a dozen million gold coins. What''s more, He is a Master grade cksmith." Cheng Yu spoke slowly.

    " What? Master grade cksmith? Purchasing so many herbs? Who is he?" Elder Lu asked with a serious tone this time.

    " A young man who doesn''t even look 20." Cheng Yu said. " His name is Yang Shi."

    " Such a young Master grade cksmith? I know three such young Master grade cksmiths from Huang n, Dao Instructing Pagoda, and the Royal Family. Someone surnamed Yang"

    " Wait, wait! Yang Shi! I remember, isn''t there was a person who recently got a resident in Longevity Hall? Yes, It has to be him." Elder Lu recalled some matter as he could vaguely guess Yang Shi''s identity.

    " Fine, Give him a permit of this once. But for next time, he has to use credit points of Longevity Hall to purchase herbs. As for how he will gain credit points, hehe, he will know himself." Elder Lu chuckled.

    " Mm, Old Bao''s seedling, eh? Then I have to squeeze a bit out of him."

    Cheng Yu nodded as he went back.

    " What? This permit works for only one time?" Yang Shi''s face twitched as he asked Cheng Yu.

    " Well, normally, getting the permit once, you can do transactions how much you want. But Elder Lu only gave you one time withdrawal permit. When brother Yanges next time, he has to use credit points." Cheng Yu scratched his head.

    " How the hell I will get credit points in Longevity Hall? I am not even an alchemist." Yang Sh asked with vexation.

    " Brother Yang need not be worried. For you, you can get a lot of credit points by forging us medicinal cauldrons and even exchange weapons for points." Cheng Yu exined.

    Yang Shi became speechless. He understood that cauldrons are the most important things for alchemists. But he didn''t want to spend his entire time forging cauldrons.

    " Fine, Fine! Give me the herbs first. I will see if Ie next time." Yang Shi massaged his temples as he spoke.

    Cheng Yu happily received money and gave Yang Shi a storage pouch full of herbs. Yang Shi bought herbs of almost nine million gold coins. But for current Yang Shi, such an amount of gold was akin to pocket change.

    " Hmm, I have also bought some lower rank three herbs. It should be good to make a Body Cleansing Bath for Bai Ruxue." Yang Shi pondered as he came back to Mo n manor.

    But as he was on his way, a person bumped into him. Yang Shi stumbled as he red.

    " I am very sorry." The person bowed as he apologized. After that, he left hastily.

    " Eh? Yang Shi saw there is a storage pouch in his hands. When he looked inside it, he saw all sorts of metals and ores piled there.

    " That Shen girl is really getting impatient." Yang Shi sighed as he kept it into his spatial ring. He immediately understood that Shen Yanyu gave him all this stuff to refine weapons for her.

    Since the process of getting his new residence in the central market will take another one or two days, Yang Shi will stay in the Mo n manor.

    " Hmm, let''s take care of this big fellow first." Yang Shi took out the ancient bronze cauldron which he got from the auction of Hundred Gold Pavilion. He was in his forging room, with his forging table ced near him.

    Yang Shi''s physical strength was already much greater than the cultivator of the same realm, but even he has to use quite a lot of his strength to lift the bronze cauldron.

    " Damn, The amount of North Bronze Essence used in this cauldron create a high tier Spirit grade armor for an army of five thousand." Yang Shi sighed as he praised.

    The cauldron looked heavy and bulky. It didn''t have any air of a supreme treasure, But Yang Shi felt something was off. His eyes turned bright as the Celestial View was activated.

    " Even someone was just squandering resources, they didn''t need to make the appearance so ugly?"

    "Moreover, the proportion of the North Bronze Essence applied here is quite off. It''s like someone pped a thick paste of North Bronze Essence around the cauldron, like someone pping y on bricks."

    " Wait, Since there is so much amount of unnecessary amount of North Bronze Essence, taking a little out won''t hurt, right?" Yang Shi giggled greedily as a lump of fire appeared on his palm.

    His spirit me zed as it enveloped the cauldron. But to his surprise, the cauldron was barely heated.

    " Well, North Bronze Essence really deserves its reputation." Yang Shi nodded as he started circting his Great Yang Sr me Art. Moreover, he activated his Gold Devil Seal and channeled metal qi to his me.

    The spirit me turned golden as the temperature rose abruptly. The cauldron started to heat slowly as Yang Shi''s mes were on their maximum power.

    Yang Shi became impressed a the spiritual qi in his dantian rolled like tidal waves. One has to know that his dantian was already ten timesrger than the average Ninth stage Primordial Spirit Realm cultivator.

    Because of this, he never cared about the usage of spiritual qi while executing battle techniques.

    But this time, he checked that his spiritual qi was depleting slowly, but steadily.

    Spirit me for melting, Metal qi to weakening the bond and Celestial View to see the weak point, even with all these Yang Shi was having troubles to refine North Bronze Essence.

    He didn''t want topletely melt the cauldron. He just wanted to take a considerable amount of North Bronze Essence and keep the cauldron intact.

    He didn''t know how much time has passed, but Yang Shi felt that it was more than six hours. Due to continuous usage of spiritual qi, more than half of qi was already depleted from his dantian.

    But Yang Shi''s expression turned ecstatic. After such a long time of usage of spirit me, his understanding of Great Yang Sr me Art has also increased.

    He felt his meridians were being tempered by continuous channeling of Fire and Metal qi.

    Layers afteryers of North Bronze Essence peeled off, yet they are still a lot remaining. Yang Shi used the Celestial View to the peak as he saw faint spots on the cauldron.

    " En, These should be weak points." Yang Shi stopped heating the cauldron as a whole as he concentrated the me to the weak spots.

    His Metal qi congealed with Fire qi as it pierced the weak spots. It was like needles of golden me stabbed in the cauldron.

    *CRACK*

 Chapter 231: Insane Luck

    Chapter 231: Insane Luck

    Subtle cracking noise spread as cracks appeared on the cauldron. Like metal tes disjointing themselves, thickyers of North Bronze Essence came out from the cauldron.

    The sudden scene caught Yang Shi by surprise. He only wanted to peel ayer of North Bronze Essence, but he never thought that the cauldron would crumble.

    " Heck! My me isn''t that powerful to break this entire cauldron, right?"

    Yang Shi sweated as he thought. But he quickly dispelled his thought as he moved the chunks of North Bronze Essence.

    " Yii! What is this?"

    Yang Shi saw a small pot appear from the debris. Its size was the same as one''s palm. Yang Shi picked it with curiosity as he channeled his spiritual qi.

    The pot started to gleam as it devoured Yang Shi''s spiritual qi like a gluttonous beast. Yang Shi frowned a little as he saw the situation. After using Great Yang Sr me Art for so long, less than a third of his spiritual qi remained in his dantian.

    Soon enough, even the remaining Spiritual qi was absorbed by the little pot. Yang Shi sighed as he used the ability of Crimson Lily.

    A red colored ring appeared behind him as Spiritual qi surrounding him got sucked by the red ring. He could feel a vast amount of spiritual qi poured into his dantian.

    The little pot continued to such spiritual qi, but after some time, it stopped absorbing spiritual qi.

    " Eh? What''s now?"

    Yang Shi yed the pot on his hands as he became confused. Most treasures should respond to the spiritual qi.

    " Wait!" Yang Shi thought something as his gaze became deep. A formless energy entered the little pot.

    Yang Shi used his divine sense to scan the little pot as he fused a little of his Soul qi in it.

    Suddenly, the little pot hummed as Yang Shi''s vision turned dizzy.

    " This little fucker!"

    Yang Shi cursed loudly as he controlled his Soul qi.

    He realized in this short period of time, arge amount of his Soul qi was devoured by the pot.

    The little pot''s humming became deep as light swirled around. The color of the pot changed as it became bright as gold, with purple patterns around it.

    " Holy Shit! An Earth tier pill cauldron?!" Yang Shi almost jumped from shock. His hands trembled as he injected a bit of his spiritual qi.

    The pot hummed as it expanded. It transformed into a cauldron. The patterns around it became even more clear and more distinct.

    On the cauldron, there were carvings of dragons and phoenixes. The handles were fitted with exquisite jades. Moreover, on the top of the lid, a pink colored pearl was carved into a lotus.

    " Volcanic Core Gold as the body, Profound Jade as handles, and Nascent Pearl carved into lotus. The person who crafted, and the person who used this cauldron, both are like treating wealth like dust." Yang Shi sighed in admiration.

    Yang Shi used his Soul qi again as he opened the lid. A thick medicinal scent entered his nostrils.

    *Sniff Sniff*

    " Eh? Azure Longevity Fruit, Nine Headed Serpent Grass, Purple Bead Flower, Flowing Light Grass" Yang Shi said as he sniffed the aroma.

    To double check, he even used his index finger to wipe the inner surface of the cauldron and tasted it.

    " Heavens! This cauldron refined pills till rank eight!"

    Yang Shi was shocked in his heart. " As expected from an Earth grade cauldron." Yang Shi smacked his lips.

    He flipped some of the North Bronze Essence chunks to ee their inner sides. All he saw were numerous scattered lines on it.

    At first, Yang Shi felt that it was created during forging.

    Butter, he felt something was amiss as he started to put all the chunks together. Although the outer side looked nothing special, when he saw the inner side again there was a huge pattern over it.

    " Spirit Fire Explosion Rune Diagram!" Yang Shi sucked a breath of cold air.

    After calcting all these, he finally understood everything.

    The North Bronze Essence was used to conceal the golden cauldron. The Spirit Fire Explosion Rune Diagram was the secondary measure of protection.

    First of all, the North Bronze Essence was at least a a dozen centimeters thick. Unless used special means, An Origin Core Stage cultivator may unable to see the peculiarity of the cauldron in one nce.

    The North Bronze Essence was created by the umtion of North Bronze Metal. This amount of North Bronze Essence can easily block the divine sense of cultivators.

    Moreover, this cauldron was already ready to use. Who could have thought that there was another cauldron hidden in it?

    If someone tried to refine the North Bronze Essence and melt the cauldron nonstop, the Spirit Fire Explosion Rune Diagram will be activated and condense all the me qi to explode the golden cauldron in it.

    Although the golden cauldron was an Earth grade artifact, during its shrink form, it bes a little delicate.

    Moreover, the purple patterns around it alsoplement the Spirit Fire Explosion Rune Diagram. So in the end, the golden cauldron will ruin to a great degree.

    " Thank goodness! If I melted it a bit more, the Explosion Rune Diagram would have been activated. Hahahaha! Earth grade medicinal cauldron!" Yang Shiughed like a madman.

    He was thinking of forge a cauldron to concoct his medicinal elixirs, but now, he got an Earth rank pill cauldron from nowhere.

    " As expected from the luck of protagonist." Yang Shi rubbed his chin.

    He saw that the amount of North Bronze Essence was more than seven hundred jin.

    " If I just make True grade weapons, I can forge around at least five high tier True grade weapons." Yang Shi sighed.

    " All right, Time for work." Getting the Earth grade Cauldron, Yang Shi felt like he was injected with chicken blood.

    He sat cross legged as he popped some True Vital Pills in his mouth. Yang Shi''s crimson ring devoured the Spiritual energy as Yang Shi''s dantian became filled with qi again.

    Yang Shi''s dantian was bigger than average cultivators of the same realm, so the time was taken to fill it also increased by many folds.

    "It''s pretty good to have some fresh Spiritual qi in dantian." Yang Shi chuckled. When he exited his forging room, he saw the sun was rising.

    " Wait! WHAT?!" Yang Shi rubbed his eyes as he took a good look at the sky. It was already morning time.

    " Does that mean I spent more than eighteen hours in the forging room?" Yang Shi became bewildered. He stretched his arms as he looked at Bai Ruxue.

    " Hmph!" Bai Ruxue snorted lightly as she avoided Yang Shi.

    " Eh? What''s now?" Yang Shi became confused after seeing Bai Ruxue''s cold behavior.

    " Ruxue, Listen" As he was calling Bai Ruxue, she already walked out of the room.

    Yang Shi was racking his mind, but suddenly, he saw a piece of cloth lying on the bed. It was precisely the special costume that Bai Ruxue wore in the auction of Hundred Gold Pavilion.

    " Don''t tell me" Yang Shi''s mind went nk. " She really wore it and waited for me all night?" Yang Shi pinched his forehead as he almost punched himself.

    " Damn, It''s" Yang Shi took a deep breath as he washed his face with water.

    He saw Bai Ruxue was practicing her sword arts in the courtyard.

    " Ruxue?" Yang Shi called her again.

    Ruxue sighed as she looked at Yang Shi with aposed face, " Yes, young master?"

    " Come with me. We are going for your training." Yang Shi turned as he asked her to follow. Bai Ruxue became startled but she nodded.

    Among many interesting ces in Azure Wind City, Heaven Protection Guild''s headquarters is one of them. Unlike detested existence like Traceless Ghost Pavilion and Blood Moon Hall, Heaven Protection Guild is under the sunlight.

    It is thergest mercenary guild across the kingdoms. All sorts of missions and rewards are posted here. Moreover, the battle arena here is one of the thrilling ces in Azure Wind City. Here, people can register as fighters and can duel with others.

    This is where most young cultivatores to hone their skills and gain experience. Although

    death happens very rarely, injuries can be severe here as everyone battles with all of their might. But this was also what makes cultivators bring out all their potential.

    " Young master, What are we doing here in Heaven Protection Guild?" Bai Ruxue asked curiously.

    " Didn''t I say that you need to gain some experience? The battle arena of Heaven Protection Guild is the perfect ce for you." Yang Shi said with a calm tone.

    " Duel with other contestants here to hone your Jade Lake Sword Art."

    " As young master wishes."

    Bai Ruxue nodded with a firm tone. She was also eager to test her strength.

    You don''t need to worry about anything. With me here, what can happen to you?"

    Yang Shi hugged Bai Ruxue from behind as he spoke softly.

 Chapter 232: Jade Fox

    Chapter 232: Jade Fox

    " Young master"

    Hearing this, Bai Ruxue''s body trembled as her heart became soft. But she braved her heart as she walked forward.

    " Silly girl." Yang Shiughed as he walked behind her.

    " Greetings, Esteemed guests. What do I do for you?" A beautifuldy was sitting on the counter as she asked with a polite smile.

    " I need to register myself as a fighter." Bai Ruxue spoke.

    " This sister wants to duel in the arena?" Thedy became astonished, but soon, sheposed herself

    " I can see sister''s cultivation is at Sixth stage of Primordial Spirit Realm. For your level, You need to pay a hundred thousand gold coins and sign on this contract." She passed a piece of paper to her.

    Although she was surprised to see Bai Ruxue, many members of various powerhousese here to fight and test their skills.

    One the contract, it was written that unless participants agree to a Life and Death match, killing or crippling the dantian of the opponent is prohibited.

    Other than that, no matter how grievous the injuries happen, no one can me Heaven Protection Guild.

    Bai Ruxue took a deep breath as she imprinted her spiritual qi on the contract.

    " Young miss, Would you like to choose a mask?" Thedy smiled. Most people whoe here prefer to use masks to hide their appearance.

    These masks are also made from special materials which makes anyone''s perception ineffective.

    " En, I need this mask."

    There are around six arenas in the Heaven Protection Guild. As Yang Shi was roaming near the Mission Pavilion, he saw many interesting missions.

    " A stalk of Purple Mist Flower needed. Price- Twenty Spirit stones.

    " Kill the Storm Valley Bandit leader- 10 Million Gold coins.

    " Need a Water attribute demon core of an Ancient Beast. Price- A hundred Spirit stones.

    The list of wanted people is very long. But Yang Shi''s face became weird as he saw one of the missions.

    " Wanted- Blood Moon Hall''s Assassin- Evil Shadow. Price- Five million gold coins. Capturing alive, an additional reward of a Top tier Purple Grade cultivation technique." Yang

    Shi read as he felt amused.

    What''s more, there was a picture of him below the mission. But it was the picture of his disguised face, which he used when he killed Golden Sun Sect''s disciples in the Deep Sky Forest and got the Blood Fire Fruits.

    But what shocked him more was, another mission was pasted on side of the first mission.

    " Mission- Flower Princess Hua''s scarf. The person posses it is named Yang Shi. Depositing the scarf, the price is 80,000 gold coins." On this poster, there was the portrait of Yang Shi.

    " Fuck! It is really just a coincidence?" Yang Shi became bewildered. Both posters were kept side to side, But no one knows that they were about the same person.

    " But to think people are going to the extent to post missions in Heaven Protection Guild to get Hua''s scarf." Yang Shi became speechless.

    He remembered how back on Earth, people were crazy about buying the bathwater of somedy.

    " Damn, I better hide my face, else I will get in trouble In no time." Yang Shi thought inwardly as he left hastily for the arena.

    " In the next match, our first contestant will be Hammer Fist." The announcer shouted. The crowd cheered as a bulky man appeared in the arena.

    His face was hidden by a ck colored mask. His arms were covered by shining metal gloves. They rattled as he clenched his fist.

    " The opponent is a neer. Wee, Jade Fox!"

    Among the hootings of the crowd, a green clothed figure slowly walked out. Yang Shi''s eyes turned sharp as he looked at the figure.

    Although that figure wore a tight green robe, one can easily tell that it''s a girl. Her curves were outlined by the robe as she wore a fox mask. A lean sword on her back was sheathed by the demonic beast hide.

    " Hahaha! Are you joking with me? A girl?" Hammer Fistughed loudly as he looked at Jade Fox with an interesting face.

    " Mm, This figure is not bad. Little beauty, stop ying in this dangerous ce. This brother shall be magnanimous and allow you to surrender."

    " Hmph! It seems the might of Hammer Fist is just so-so. To think he doesn''t even dare to fight with a neer." Jade Foxughed. Although her tone sounded a bit weird, it was unmistakably a girl''s voice.

    " Audacious! It seems that I need to show my prowess to this sister." Hammer Fistughed coldly as he walked toward the Jade Fox. Suddenly, his speed increased as he made a grabbing motion towards the Jade Fox.

    Jade Fox snorted as she became a green blur, sliding past the hand.

    " Meager skill!" Hammer Fist snorted as his arms became distorted. From there, several shadows of arms appeared as they whipped at Jade Fox.

    " Hmph!" With a sh, Jade Fox''s sword appeared in her hands as she shouted, " Spiraling Jade Cut!"

    Her hands twisted as the sword burst with green colored light. Green colored sword light assaulted the arms of Hammer Fist.

    " Thundering Fist!"

    Hammer Fist became astonished as his spiritual qi erupted. His arms glowed with pale light as he punched at Jade Fox.

    *BOOM BOOM*

    With a booming sound, his fist collided with the sword of Jade Fox. Her body swayed as it got pushed backward.

    The crowd cheered as they saw the fight. Yang Shi sat gazed at the battle with a serene face.

    " Damn! This woman is fierce! A personmented.

    " Heh, Another powerful woman like Shadow Witch." A young man hissed.

    Yang Shi''s ears perked as he heard Shadow Witch''s name as he suddenly remembered Hua Yewan.

    The battle between Jade Fox and Hammer Fist became fierce as each moment passed.

    " Maddened Bull Fist!" Hammer Fist clenched his fists as he jumped. His metallic gloves glowed as punched again with terrifying momentum.

    " Gliding Jade Steps!" Jade Fox''s legs moved as she became a green sh of light. Hammer Fist''s punchnded on the ground as the ground trembled.

    " Jade Lightning Cut!" Jade Fox appeared behind him like a streak of jade light shed.

    " Damn!" Hammer Fist used his arms to block the attack, but it was way too fast. Jade Fox''s sword already stabbed his thighs.

    " Fuck! You little Bitch! Iron Hammer Fist!" Since they are close to each other Hammer Fist used it as an advantage as his fist came at Jade Fox like a cannonball.

    " Spiraling Jade Cut!" Jade Fox''s hands trembled the sword made a twisted cut. Jade light exploded as it cut arge chunk of the flesh of Hammer Fist.

    Blood sttered as Hammer Fist trotted backward. His eyes already went red from rage. His body quivered as he swung his left arm, making a surprise attack at Jade Fox.

    " !!!"

    Although she didn''t lower her vignce, she still got struck by the attack. She used her sword to block, but the impact was so great that she sted back and mmed on the ground.

    " Cough!" She coughed as a trickle of blood dripped from her mouth, She used her sword as a support as she slowly stood up.

    " An opportunity!" Hammer Fist''s eyes narrowed as he clenched his teeth. The injury was not light, yet now, he was suppressing it all of his might to defeat Jade Fox.

    " Iron Hammer Fist!" He attacked Jade Fox with all of his might. His arms glowed as various patterns swirled on them.

    Jade Fox didn''t move as she stood there calmly. But suddenly, her sword vanished as she bent her body to the left.

    " Jade Lightning Cut!"

    This time, she attacked exactly at the wounded spot of Hammer Fist. Her word stabbed Hammer Fist as Jade Fox jumped.

    Her kicknded on the chest of the Hammer Fist as he fell backward.

    " Cough, cough!"

    Blood gushed from his abdomen as he struggled to get up. But unfortunately, he couldn''t.

    " I Surrender." Hammer Fist coughed as he spoke.

    " WHOA!!!" The crowd burst with cheers. They never expect that Jade Fox will be able to defeat Hammer Fist.

    " Damn! That Jade Fox really won."

    " Did you see her sword technique? It was so exquisite and powerful."

    " I bet that must be a high grade technique."

    The crowd discussed as Yang Shi breathed in relief. Although he appeared to be calm, his palms were already sweated. He got up as he rushed to the main hall.

    Jade Fox nodded to Hammer Fist as she went back to the main hall.

    "Damn!" She clenched her left arm as it was swollen slightly. From her eyes, it was evident that she was in pain.

    " Miss Jade Fox, if you are injured, you can rest in our rooms." A servant came to Jade Fox. She nodded as she went with the servant.

    As she entered the room, he saw Yang Shi was already preparing medicines.

    " Injuries, huh?" He muttered as he looked at Jade Fox.

    " Come Ruxue, Eat this pill." Yang Shi looked at Jade Fox as she took off her mask.

 Chapter 233: Quasi True grade Armor

    Chapter 233: Quasi True grade Armor

    " This is a rank three Golden Healing Pill. Too bad I can find only the low grade one." Yang Shi grumbled.

    "These alchemists are truly selling craps in the name of medicines."

    " Hahaha." Bai Ruxue giggled when she saw the angry face of Yang Shi.

    " Young master, No need for that pill. My injuries aren''t that grave." She spoke slowly. She knew the worth of a rank three pill.

    " Hmph! Since I have said it, you need to eat this pill." Yang Shi spoke without hesitation.

    Bai Ruxue finally nodded as she ate a yellow-colored pill. She could feel a vast amount of medicinal energy gushed into her dantian as it slowly traveled in her meridians. Her wound slowly began to heal.

    She sat on the bed cross legged as she revolved her Jade Yin qi to assist the medicinal power. A green halo appeared around her body, making her look like a sacred maiden.

    Suddenly, her spiritual qi erupted as Yang Shi could sense the change in Bai Ruxue''s body. After an hour, she opened her eyes with joyfulness.

    " Young master, I have reached the seventh stage." She spoke happily.

    " Indeed. The battle with Hammer Fist and the Golden Healing Pill helped you to break your bottleneck. Your Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art is also an overbearing cultivation technique. Your breakthroughs will faster than average cultivator anyway." Yang Shi nodded as he wasn''t too surprised by this.

    " Hmm, I can feel my wounds are pretty much healed up. Only some scars are remaining." Bai Ruxue spoke as she checked her body.

    " Heh, If it was a high grade pill, even the scars would have vanished. Too bad, This is the best I can get in Heaven Protection Guild." Yang Shi sighed.

    " So, How was your first battle?" Yang Shi asked.

    " I was a bit nervous in the beginning, but slowly I adjusted myself." Bai Ruxue nodded.

    Hammer Fist was also at the Sixth stage of Primordial Spirit Realm, but he was rich in battle experiences.

    If Bai Ruxue didn''t use her entire power and Jade Lake Sword Art, she would have been defeated by Hammer Fist.

    " Underestimating you was his biggest mistake. The time he became cautious, it was toote." Yang Shi nodded.

    " But not everyone is like Hammer Fist. In the future, you will meet even more powerful and trickier enemies."

    " Ruxue understands. I will practice even harder." Bai Ruxue nodded with eptance. She understood her shorings from the battle with Hammer Fist.

    " Jade Fox, eh? Nice name." Yang Shi chuckled as he looked at Bai Ruxue.

    Bai Ruxue blushed as she looked away.

    " But, I need to tell you something about your cultivation. Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art will grant you the Nine Yin Empyrean body, but you still need to cultivate diligently. You can''t advance to the fourthyer of Jade Empyrean Heavenly Technique, Am I right? Yang Shi asked.

    " Indeed. After reaching the thirdyer and transforming my Yin Maiden Physique into Nine Yin Empyrean physique, I never saw any sign of a breakthrough to the fourthyer." Bai Ruxue was startled as she nodded hastily.

    " It means your Nine Yin Empyrean Physique has reached the Initialpletion stage. From now on, rather than focusing on quantity, you need to focus on quality. The thirdyer is one of the thresholds in the technique."

    " You need to purify your Jade Yin qi and refine your body with it seven times. Only after that, you can reach the fourth stage." Yang Shi exined.

    " I can only guide you, but cultivating the technique, you need to depend on yourself."

    " I understand now." Bai Ruxue sighed lightly as she nodded.

    " Come, It is enough for today." Yang Shi walked as he patted Bai Ruxue''s head.

    " Muu, I am not a child."

    Bai Ruxue pouted as she saw the behavior of Yang Shi. Yang Shiughed, but suddenly, his face turned serious as he looked at Bai Ruxue.

    " Well Uh, I wanted to askYesterday, Did you wait for me all night"

    Yang Shi coughed awkwardly as he asked.

    Bai Ruxue became stunned, but her face became interesting.

    " Hmph, Does that matter now?" She snorted lightly.

    " I I am really very sorry, Ruxue. I didn''t realize that It was sote. I was engrossed in forging that I didn''t notice the time." Yang Shi sincerely apologized to Bai Ruxue.

    " Really?" Bai Ruxue raised her brows.

    " Well, I can make up for it, whenever you ask." Yang Shi''s smile became strange as he suddenly kissed Bai Ruxue and pressed her on the bed.

    " Baddy! Young master''s brain is always full of lust." Bai Ruxue pushed him aside as she said with an angry tone.

    " Moreover, It''s still daytime" She spoke softly.

    " Hahaha." Yang Shiughed as he hugged Bai Ruxue.

    As they were walking out, Bai Ruxue noticed something.

    " So this is mission board. Eh? What''s this?" Bai Ruxue suddenly saw the bounty on Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi was walking behind her, so he didn''t notice the things fast enough.

    " What happened, Ruxue?" Yang Shi asked as he saw Bai Ruxue''s expression turning sour.

    " It seems Young master is really enjoying ying with Flower Princess Hua." Bai Ruxue chuckled. She knew about the Flower Princess a little as she stayed in Hundred Flower Pavilion for a while.

    " Uhh It''s not what you think. Wait! Ruxue! Don''t go" Yang Shi was exining but Bai Ruxue turned and left quickly.

    " I didn''t do anything to her!" Yang Shi shouted as he ran after her.

    They returned to the Mo n manor after some time. Bai Ruxue went to practice her cultivation technique as Yang Shi again entered his forging room.

    " Let''s start from Quasi True grade artifact." Yang Shi''s expression became serious as he lighted up the melting furnace.

    He put various materials in the scorching fire, along with a small chunk of North Bronze Essence.

    North Bronze Essence can be considered as a type of pixie dust. Just a little bit amount of North Bronze Essence can enhance the performance of weapons by many folds.

    For example, Whenpared to two High tier Spirit Grade weapons of simr stats, the one with the enhancement of North Bronze Essence can easily surpass the regr high grade weapon.

    " Hmm, I will just use North Bronze Essence as an enhancing item for now. As for weapon made from pure North Bronze Essence, I will seeter." Yang Shi pondered.

    A weapon made from Pure North Bronze Essence has already surpassed the ranks of Spirit grade. Only True grade weapons can be created by that.

    Yang Shi used his entire power as he swung the Sky Breaking Hammer.

    *DING DING DINNG DING*

    At this point, Yang Shi felt the hammer was his own body part. Wielding it is the same as wielding a feather. But the power of it was enough to spread the metal billet in one go.

    Yang Shi'' spiritual qi moved as he quickly shaped the weapons as he drew Spirit diagrams on them. The weapon shone with radiance as Spirit diagrams are perfectly drawn.

    Yang Shi saw that in three hours he had made around Four Quasi True grade weapons and Three High tier Spirit Grade weapons.

    If there was any other cksmith here, their eyes would have popped from their sockets from shock.

    Yang Shi was forging a weapon five times faster than an average cksmith.

    The more Yang Shi forged, the faster he became. Moreover, using his pure Metal qi, molding the metals became even easier.

    He focused his mind as he took another thin sheet of North Bronze essence. This time, he aimed to forge a Quasi True grade armor.

    " Melt!"

    Yang Shi''s Great Yang Sr me Art resolved at maximum speed the solid metals and ores liquefied instantly. Each of his hammerings made the billet even more refined and tensile.

    After that, he quickly made Spirit Diagrams over it. As the Spirit Diagrams increased, Yang Shi''s face turned even more serious.

    " Now!" Yang Shi made the final stroke as the armor gave off a faint light.

    " Hahh! Finally, a Quasi True grade armor."

    Yang Shi wiped his sweats as he sat down. Even with his strength, he still felt physical and mental fatigue.

    Yang Shi''s creativity gave the armor a touch of emerald and gold color.

    " Even someone fully uses the power of Spirit grate artifact, damaging this armor will be almost impossible." Yang Shi concluded.

    " Hmm, I should sell this to Feng Xiao. That fellow wanted a good armor. Moreover, He got something interesting." Yang Shi thought.

    Yang Shi took out the golden cauldron as he observed it. Since he wasn''t using it, it was in its smaller appearance. Yang Shi pped it as it returned to itsrger size.

    " Although it is an Earth grade cauldron, It has a fatal w. It''scking an artifact spirit." Yang Shi thought.

    The reason why True grade weapons are suitable for the Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivators in the Soul qi.

    The might of True grade weapon can be only brought forth when Soul qi is used along with Spiritual qi.

    Cultivators who awakened their souls use their Soul qi to nourish their True grade weapons. So, their proficiency over the True grade weapons increases by many folds.

    As for Earth grade artifacts, it forms their own artifact spirit.

    " Anyway, It''s not like I need the artifact spirit for now. Let''s start refining some elixirs." Yang Shi smiled as his Spirit me bloomed in his palms.

 Chapter 234: Bad Day for Making Elixirs

    Chapter 234: Bad Day for Making Elixirs

    Yang Shi didn''t have any proficiency in pill refining, but it doesn''t impact on making elixirs. After extracting the essence, the hardest part of making an elixir is calcting the proportion and the effects of mixing the essence of different herbs.

    " Let''s start with Body Cleansing Elixir." Yang Shi thought.

    Even without the memory of the Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi got a good amount of knowledge about various elixirs in the ancient records of Earth.

    Since the Earth didn''t have anything like alchemical pills, the most viable things were elixirs.

    There were various types of elixirs used in ancient times, like- Longevity Elixirs, which can revitalize human cells and extends lifespan. Various types of rare and exotic herbs were used to make these elixirs.

    There were Body Strengthening Elixir, Disease Repelling Elixirs, Poison Curing Elixir, Sense Enhancing Elixirs recorded in various tomes.

    As for the poison refining method, the Heaven Evasion Lightning Stealth manual contains more than a hundred types of poison brewing methods.

    Yang Shi was amazed that the ancient humans created so many medicinal forms with such variations of herbs. But as modernization began, many of the precious herbs went extinct or mutated. So these forms became useless for theter generation

    Yang Shi felt that using these as a reference isn''t a bad idea. Although getting those exact herbs is impossible, getting herbs with simr yet greater effects is easy. In this cultivation world, wondrous natural treasures are filled everywhere.

    Even a normal elixir can be a hundred times powerful in this world. Yang Shi didn''t want to rely on the Samara Emperor''s memory too much, so he wanted to test his ownprehensive limits.

    He heated the cauldron and added herbs after herbs. Since he was in the experimental stage, he took very few amounts of herbs.

    " One stalk of Bright Moon Grass, A piece of Red Earth Ginseng, One portion of Snow Petal Flower" Yang Shi''s mind was multi tasking.

    His left arm was sorting medicinal herbs and adjusting their proportion while his right hand was controlling his spirit me.

    Yang Shi was used to working with exceedingly high temperatures as it was needed to melt metals. But now, he needs to use his mes in very subtle temperatures as they are refining medicinal herbs. A minute change can just burn every herb to ashes.

    " Damn, It''s like suddenly working somethingpletely opposite." Yang Shi was annoyed as he was having a pretty difficult time refining the medicinal herbs. Moreover, the amount of herb was much less than the average pill refinement consumes.

    " What should I do? Eh?! Wait!" Yang Shi was distracted for a moment when suddenly, his expression changed.

    *POOF*

    All the herbs suddenly got charred by the fire as they turned into ashes. Although Yang Shi was expecting to fail, he didn''t think that he will fail even before the first step.

    In pill refinement, there are three major steps- Refining Ingredients, extracting the essence, and the final step, condensing the pill.

    As for Elixir brewing, after extracting the essence, the pill condensation is reced by the step called- Essence Blend.

    " Hell, I failed before the Essence extraction step." Yang Shi sighed as he cleaned the cauldron. After adding ingredients, he started alchemy again.

    The second time, third time, Yang Shi tried at least a dozen times, but he failed in all of them.

    " someeems today isn''t a good day for it. I will try again aftere thinking."

    Yang Shi wiped his sweat as he stopped elixir refining. Every time he reached the Essence extracting stage, his mes would burn the herbs. No matter how much he tried to lower hi temperature he didn''t seed.

    " I am doing something inurately." Yang Shi pondered as he opened the door.

    It was already evening as Yang Shi suddenly felt hunger. Surprisingly, There was already food on the table. Bai Ruxue was adjusting the tes as she saw Yang Shiing out.

    " Young master, You are out. I have already prepared dinner." Bai Ruxue nodded as she looked at Yang Shi, " You should take bath before eating."

    " You also didn''t clean yourself after you trained in the courtyard, did you?" Yang Shi asked as he looked at Bai Ruxue with an evil gaze.

    " It seems young master needs me to clean his body in the bath? Why be so roundabout?" Bai Ruxue immediately understood Yang Shi''s intention as she snorted lightly.

    " Since you already know, Why wait?" Yang Shiughed lewdly but suddenly light shed as a figure appeared.

    " Ah, this food smells nice. It''s been a while since I have eaten outside. Eh, why are you guy looking at me like this?"

    It was none other than Jin Yu, who came out of her hiding ce. Yang Shi''s face turned dark as hemented at the unfortunate timing of the appearance of Jin Yu.

    " Little Sister Jin, so you are here." Bai Ruxue coughed awkwardly as she greeted Jin Yu.

    Although she didn''t know much about Jin Yu, she knew that she is an important figure for Yang Shi.

    " Oh, Hello Sister Bai. Did you prepare all these?" Jin Yu asked as she looked at her. Yang Shi felt that both of the girls are avoiding him.

    " Here goes my bathroom n." Yang Shi sighed as went to take a quick bath.

    " So, How is Xiao Hei doing?" Yang Shi asked as he was eating his meal.

    " Pretty nice. I am helping him to awaken his bloodline memory and so far, it is going smoothly."

    " The Sword Feather Condor is indeed a powerful species. It can be considered as a noble bloodline among the demon beasts." Jin Yu replied as she stuffed a piece of meat in her mouth.

    " Wow! This tastes so good!" She eximed as her eyes sparkled. " Haha, If little sister wants, I will cook for her every day." Bai Ruxue smiled lovingly.

    " Yay!" Jin Yu cheered as she gobbled up the food.

    " What were you doing all these days inside the golden egg?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

    " Same as always. I was using your strange energy to slowly refine my curse. But It seems I have reached a bottleneck." Jin Yu frowned.

    " Sky Corroding Evil Immortal Curse is one of the great curses known in existence. To cast it, the caster must have paid an enormous price as well." Yang Shi said.

    " You have refined most of it by my Internal Energy, but the core part is still there. Nheless, the danger of it has lessened significantly. "

    " But because of this, I can''t progress in my cultivation." Jin Yu said with an annoyed tone. " Anyway, I am nning to stay outside for a few days. It''s very boring inside my abode." She stretched her hands.

    '' Eh?" Yang Shi was startled, but suddenly he noticed that the tes were emptied up already.

    " The fuck?! Where is the food?" Yang Shi was startled.

    " Burp."

    Jin Yu burped as she wiped her mouth. " What food? You guys are eating so slowly." Shemented.

    " What a glutton. You should remember that you are currently in the humane form." Yang Shi pinched his forehead as he spoke. Bai Ruxue was giggling as she saw the development.

    " So what? Humans eat so less? It''s not enough to fill my stomach." Jin Yu snorted.

    Yang Shi could only sigh after he heard Jin Yu.

    " You should go and sleep with Ruxue. I won''te to sleep tonight." Yang Shi spoke as he went back to forge more weapons.

 Chapter 235: Going to the Demonic Sound Palace

    Chapter 235: Going to the Demonic Sound Pce

    Yang Shi worked for the entire night and forged various kinds of weapons.

    " For now, I have ten Quasi True grade and thirty High tier Spirit grade artifacts. It should be enough for now."

    He didn''t try to refine medicinal herb again as he need to be in his optimal state. He felt he needed to think about his process again to refine the herbs correctly.

    " Hmm, I guess, I need to refine my Wood Spirit Seal earlier than I expected." Yang Shi thought.

    He came out and saw that Bai Ruxue and Jin Yu were still sleeping on the bed. Moreover, Jin Yu was hugging Bai Ruxue like a pillow. But a trace of a smile could be seen on her face.

    " They must have talked tillte night. Seems Jin Yu will get finally relieved from her loneliness." Yang Shi chuckled. He didn''t wake them as he left the Mo n manor.

    " First stop: Demonic Sound Sect." Yang Shi headed straight to the Demonic Sound Pce.

    The Demonic Sound Pce is a sect of Demonic path. Most people frown upon hearing the demonic cultivators, but that is not the case. The demonic path is just one of the countless path people walks to pursue their dao.

    Although demonic cultivators are generally hot headed and fiendish, many people are attracted to the demonic path because of its techniques.

    The Demonic techniques usually have harsh conditions to cultivate, but they can be also fastened up the cultivation of practitioners.

    There are many evil and bloody techniques which were frowned upon by the cultivation world, but no doubt, the most hellish method is also the fastest way to cultivate.

    Demonic Sound Pce was not such a bloodthirsty and diabolical power. It has its own doctrine and moral codes.

    Moreover, It is approved by the royal n of Azure Feather Ancient Nation, o it has many disciples from various ns.

    Yang Shi could see arge pce with five mountains around them. Each mountain peak was shrouded by purple mist. T

    here was a giant gate, which was the entrance of the Demonic Sound Pce. Yang Shi saw some guards were standing outside, wearing the ck uniform of Demonic Sound Pce.

    " Halt! Who are you?" The guards stopped Yang Shi as they inquired.

    " Hey, brother! Can I see a disciple of Demonic Sound Pce?" Yang Shi asked.

    " You want to see someone? State there name and we will check it." One of the guards nodded. It was verymon for rtives of disciples toe to see them.

    Unless someone is a high ranking Inner disciple or above, leaving sect as one''s wish is very hard. One can only leave if there is a mission or else, they have to write an application.

    " Who do you want to see?" They asked.

    " Core Disciple named Feng Xiao." Yang Shi casually said.

    " What!? Kid, are you messing with us?" They frowned as they looked at Yang Shi with annoyed faces.

    " Who do you think you are? You want us to disturb Brother Feng without any reason?" One of the guards said angrily.

    " Since I know brother Feng, he will naturallye here. Just say someone named Yang Shi of Firmament City is asking to meet him." Yang Shi chuckled. " It''s not that I am asking you to run my errands for free."

    Yang Shiughed as he gave two pouches to both of them. The guards looked inside it as their eyes gleamed.

    " Fine, But if you are messing with us, be ready to face your punishment." A guard nodded as he went inside the sect.

    Yang Shi understood that people need some sort of enthusiasm to work. So, he never backs away from spending a little to get his work done quickly.

    Meanwhile, Yang Shi started to chat with the other guard.

    " So, Can you tell me some news inside your sect?" Yang Shi asked. He was always curious to know the current affairs within the cultivation world

    " Well, Recently, Our sect held the annual martialpetition. Surprisingly, Brother Feng got third ce." The guard said with an interesting face.

    " Is this some kind of unexpected?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

    " Although Brother Feng Xiao is one of the powerful Core disciples, he was stuck in the tenth position forst two years. But this time, he managed to jump to the third position in one go." The guard sighed.

    " Out of two main reasons, one is that he managed to breakthrough in his battle techniques, allowing his power to soar greatly. Secondly, His new weapon, A Quasi True grade halberd."

    " His weapon is fullypatible with his technique, so he can exert the full power of his battle techniques without any issues." The guard sighed.

    " Many people asking him about his halberd, but he is avoiding them. But nheless, since he got the third position in the Martial ranking, the sect will favor Brother Feng even more."

    " What about the first and second ce?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Second ce is held by Lady Jiang, as for first ce, who it could be other than the Little Demon King Han Sheng?" The guard chuckled.

    " It seems this brother here really knows a lot. Tell me more, I love to hear about all kinds of stories." Yang Shi nodded as he asked happily.

    Hearing Yang Shi, The guard felt ted. He cleared his throat as he started, " This is fine. Since we guard here most of the time, we meet all sorts of people. Heh, I even know many things which even the sect elders didn''t know." The guard snickered.

    " Ooh, Really?" Yang Shi''s eyes gleamed as he looked at the guard.

    " Han Sheng hasn''t gotten the nickname of Little Demon King for nothing. Currently, he is the most powerful among the younger generation of Demonic Sound Pce."

    " Fromst five years, he is winning the first position. ording to most people, he might be the True disciple of the sect and may be the next Sect Master."

    " He turned 22 this year, but his cultivation I already showing signs of breaking through the Violet Pce Expansion Realm. Moreover, he is cultivating our sect''s most powerful technique: Seven Transformation Demonic Art."

    " His strength is also remarkable. Till now, only Yuan Shan of Golden Sun Sect, Zhu Mo of Dao Instruction Pagoda, Qin Yun of Azure Military and only a few are at the same level as the Little Demon King."

    " As for ns, The Little Demon King already defeated the Huang Lou of Huang n and matched equally with Xu Fei of Xu n. I have heard that the second young master of Mo n has returned to the capital. Maybe he will challenge Mo Yi next." The guard probed.

    " There are many other powerful individuals like The First and Second Royal Princes, Mo Xiaowen of Mo n, Yue Ming of Yue n and Li Hao of Dao Instruction Pagoda."

    " But they already crossed the age limit of 27 and reached Violet Pce Expansion Realm. So, they can''t be counted as younger generation anymore." The guard said.

    Yang Shi learned all sorts of information from the guard of Demonic Sound Pce and he felt satisfied. He could see the situation in the Azure Wind City even more vividly. As they were chatting, the first guard came running.

    He hurriedly cupped his fist and said, " Noble Yang, This is the permit token. With this, you can enter the sect freely." He handed a ck token to Yang Shi.

    Another servant received Yang Shi from the gate as he lead him inside.

    " Hah, To think he was telling the truth. Thankfully, He didn''t go overboard, or else, we would have lost our jobs today." The first guard wiped his sweat as he said.

    " But to think he was generous to give us some tips. I could feel that his cultivation is higher than ours, but still, he talked with us nicely. Hah, his personality is amicable, vastly different from his peers." The second guard chuckled.

    Both of them felt a favorable impression on Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi entered the grounds of Demonic Sound Pce as he saw the inner premise of a sect for the first time.

 Chapter 236: Selling The Armor

    Chapter 236: Selling The Armor

    As Yang Shi traveled with the servant, his surroundings became more and more beautiful. The seven mountains look majestic, with the purples some, they had a demonic charm. The central mountain had a giant purple pce on the peak. It looked like some sort of demonic abode.

    " Our Sect is divided into the Seven Mountain factions. Each mountain holds a faction. Brother Feng is from Swift Demon Mountain." The servant said as he showed Yang Shi the Demonic Sound Pce.

    The servant''s name was Ah Chou. He was an outer disciple. But with his fortune, he somehow became the servant of Feng Xiao, so his treatment isn''t bad.

    " That tower is our sect''s Scripture Tower and that ce is Treasure Hall. The Scripture tower contains our sect''s all techniques and manuscripts while Treasure Hall has various pills and artifacts. These are the most guarded ce here." Little Chou exined.

    They went to the Swift Demon Mountain as they finally reached the abode of Feng Xiao. It was a singlerge mansion, with no other building surrounding it. Yang Shi could feel the abundance of Spiritual qi in the air as well as the tranquil atmosphere.

    " Heh, Brother Feng is surely enjoying himself." Yang Shiughed as he looked at Feng Xiao. He was sitting cross legged on a stone with his eyes closed.

    " Brother Yang finally came. I thought you have already forgotten about this brother." Feng Xiaoughed as he stood up to greet Yang Shi.

    " It is fine. I barely forget any business deals. Firstly, I congratte you on achieving third ce in the annual martialpetition. " Yang Shi chuckled. " I hope the halberd didn''t disappoint you?"

    " Disappointing me? Never have I felt so much thrill while wielding a weapon. This halberd is the perfect weapon for me." Feng Xiaoughed loudly as his Demonic halberd appeared in his hands. The crescent de looked like an evil grin of a demon.

    Feng Xiao swung it casually, but a streak of ck light from it destroyed a tree nearby. He struck the halberd on the ground as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " Since you liked the halberd, you will definitely like this." Yang Shi smirked as a thing appeared on his hand.

    " N-no Way! You did it?!"

    Feng Xiao got shocked momentary as his eyes went wide. Yang Shi was holding a Quasi True grade armor in his hands. Feng Xiao''s mind had gone crazy the moment he saw the armor. He knew that forging armors are rtively different than forging weapons.

    A Quasi True grade armor is very difficult to forge. A master cksmith might make High grade Spirit tier artifact, but most of them fail to upgrade a High tier Spirit grade artifact to a Quasi True grade artifact.

    To forge two or three, a cksmith may take a week. Forging Quasi True grade artifacts depends upon luck and deepprehension of cksmithing. So with a bit of mistake, the artifact is forever stuck in the Spirit grade.

    " Well, Since you have forged it, you must want to sell this armor, eh?" Feng Xiao probed.

    " Ten spirit stones." Yang Shi said straightly.

    " What? Brother Yang, you must be kidding." Feng Xiao nearly jumped from his spot. Even he is a core disciple, he does not have more than fifty low grade spirit stones.

    " The price is too high. How about we talk in gold coin"

    " Nope. Last was an exception because I urgently needed the Dark Swamp Spirit fruit. But Brother Feng should think, this powerful armor can protect you from any attacks from a Spirit grade weapon. How about it, Seven spirit tones?" Yang Shi negotiated.

    " Still too much. At most, Two spirit stones." Feng Xiao shook his head.

    " Five, and It will be yours. I won''t go bellow." Yang Shi threw the final bait.

    Feng Xiao remained silent as he calcted. After a while, he sighed as he looked at the armor.

    " Fine, fine. It seems my wallet is going to bleed today." Feng Xiao coughed.

    " Making your wallet bleed to protect your body from weapons, not a bad deal." Yang Shi chuckled as he handed it to Feng Xiao. Feng Xiao also gave Yang Shi a storage pouch, which Yang Shi kept in his storage ring.

    " Brother Yang, are you leaving? Why not stay here for a while? I will show you some interesting ces around the sect." Feng Xiao asked.

    " No, I still got a lot of work undone. I wille here again." Yang Shi was turning to leave, but suddenly, an unknown figure appeared in the courtyard.

    Feng Xiao''s expression changed as he looked at the neer. " Since when disciples of Yin Flower Mountain intruding other''s territory?" Feng Xiao asked in a low voice.

    " Hehe, Brother Feng is getting angry, eh? This sister was only curious about this young noble here." The neer was a girl, wearing green clothing with dark stripes over them. Her long leg was exposed to the outside, making the onlookers drool.

    Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the girl. " Still smaller than Ruxue''s." The first thought came to his mind after seeing the girl.

    " This sister must be Jiang Lin?" Yang Shi cupped his fist as he looked at the girl.

    " Ah, I never thought this young noble knows my humble name." Jiang Lin became slightly startled, but sheughed and greeted Yang Shi.

    " I must congratte Brother Feng for getting another Quai True grade artifact." Jiang Lin smiled, but a trace of mockery could be seen within it.

    " Heh, It''s very impolite to stalk in someone''s house. But to think, Your Tranquil Shadow Arts has reached minorpletion. I couldn''t detect your presence at all." Feng Xiao sneered.

    Yang Shi also felt surprised at the concealing ability of Jiang Lin. He never thought that someone was lurking here, so Yang Shi never used his Celestial View.

    " It''s nothingpared to brother Feng''s Chaotic Demon Battle Art. With your halberd and this armor, you can fight with Han Sheng." Jiang Lin stretched her arms as her breasts jiggled. But Feng Xiao''s eyes remained cautious.

    " Hah, No need to pit me against him. I know about my limit. When the timees, I will challenge Han Sheng by myself." Feng Xiao snorted. But Jiang Lin kept looking at Yang Shi.

    " So, you are the one who made the armor, eh?" She looked at Yang Shi with yful eyes. Yang Shi felt slightly rmed from her as he shook his head, " Not really. My master is the one who forged it." Yang Shi chose to lie.

    " Oh really? I also want to forge one for myself. Can young noble Yang be able to forge a Quasi True grade weapon for me as well?" Jiang Lin said with a coquettish face as she winked at Yang Shi.

    " Hmm, How about it, My master is setting up a new store in the central market. Sister Jiang cane there after a few days. You can ask for a custom made weapon or a readymade weapon." Yang Shi probed as he said.

    For now, he focused more on advertising his new store. He wished to set up a new store to sell his artifacts. That''s why he asked Mo Shan to give him the permit to open a store in the central market.

    " Then I hope noble Yang can give this sister some discount. This poordy barely has any spirit stones." Jiang Lin said with a sad face.

    " Heh, There are many ways Sister Jiang can pay with." Yang Shiughed ambiguously as he looked Jiang Lin.

    " Well, That will depend on your performance." Jiang Lin understood Yang Shi''s meaning as she smirked.

    Suddenly, her figure vanished as she attacked Yang Shi.

 Chapter 237: Seeking Path Through Alchemy

    Chapter 237: Seeking Path Through Alchemy

    Yang Shi smiled as his eyes shed with azure light. A burst of me appeared on his palms as he struck his palm to the empty air.

    *BOOM*

    The mes exploded as a Jiang Lin blocked it. She looked at Yang Shi with astonishment as she backed away.

    " Hoh! Young noble really broke my concealment. But it won''t be this easy next time." Jiang Lin waved her hands as two shadowy hands appeared out of thin air.

    " Ghostly Demon w!"

    " Fiery Sword Burst!"

    Yang Shi''s spirit me zed as it condensed into ming swords. The condensed sword looked extremely refined. The de, the handle, every pattern was distinct and life-like.

    " Perfect spiritual condensation?!" Jiang Lin blurted out.

    The ming swords of Yang Shi already shed at the Ghostly ws of Jiang Link. ck smoke oozed from the shadowy hands as they violently collided.

    Yang Shi''s ming sword was condensed from his Spirit me, so it was overbearing. After the first sh, Jiang Lin already retracted her technique, so Yang Shi could only stop there.

    Cultivators can convert spiritual qi into any kind of element in any kind of shape. There are also various techniques that helps one to condense things out of elements. But there are vast differences between the stage of spiritual qi condensation.

    For example, someone can condense a bird from mes. When someone has low proficiency, they can only condense something which only looks like bird, which have two wings and a beak.

    As someone''s control over spiritual qi and elemental qi increases, the bird also bes more and more detailed.

    At the perfect stage, the fire bird will have distinct feathers, clear eyes, every detail a real bird could have. Achieving the perfect stage is very difficult it required mastery in controlling spiritual qi.

    " I never thought brother Yang has already mastered the perfect spiritual condensation." Jiang Lin pouted.

    " Haha, Sister Jiang doesn''t know about many things. Only if I had time, we could have sat together and chat heartily." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " But don''t worry, I will be sure to give Lady Jiang a good discount." He added.

    The Great YangSr me Art is a Heaven grade technique. Moreover, with the Crimson Lily as his Spirit me, me controlling is an easy matter for him.

    " I should be going then. I still have to visit a lot of ces." Yang Shiughed as he turned to leave.

    " This armor looks very good. Can I touch it?" Jiang Lin focused her looks on the armor Feng Xiao was holding.

    " Hell no! This is my precious baby!" Feng Xiao shouted as he back away like a startled cat.

    " It''s not like I am stealing it?" Jiang Lin pouted. " That friend of yours is surely unusual. I didn''t expect him to see through my concealing ability. It seems he also practice some powerful eyes technique." Jiang Lin probed.

    " I know. I wanted to fight that guy myself, but he is way too slippery." Feng Xiao shook his head.

    " Interesting." Jiang Lin smiled as she also left.

    " Quasi True grade artifacts are surely in demand. Rarer than Spirit grade, affordable than True grade, Perfect for me." Yang Shi muttered as he left hastily.

    " I should start preparing for making True grade weapons and elixirs. Damn, I feel I am rushing things." Yang Shi sighed. " Only if I reached Violet Pce Expansion realm."

    Yang Shi went back to Mo n manor. But he found that Bai Ruxue and Jin Yu went outside, so he just rested a bit.

    But Mo Yi gave him a piece of good news, saying that the process of the new store will be finished by tomorrow.

    " Really? That''s pretty fast." Yang Shi was pleasantly surprised.

    " That''s right. But there is a small problem." Mo Yi pressed his forehead, " The residence we are giving to you was a restaurant previously. Since it will belong to you in the future, we are firing off the restaurant employees. But now, they are protesting."

    " Well?" Yang Shi also found it amusing. " Just give me the address. I will try to talk with them myself. I also want to see my new ce." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Sure." Mo Yi nodded.

    " Since it''s a restaurant, I will try their cuisine. Who knows, I may not fire them." Yang Shiughed.

    " Well, I don''t think you should hope much. If their cuisine was good, we wouldn''t have sold the restaurant to you." Mo Yi smirked.

    " Time will tell." Yang Shiughed.

    In his mind, he already made ns about expanding his business in Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. In the first phase, he thought to open a store to sell his forged equipment.

    After some time, when he will have enough experience in elixir brewing, he will start to sell elixirs. Now, this restaurant might be a cherry on top.

    " One can''t have enough money for sure. Man''s greed is truly an endless pit." Yang Shi clicked his tongue.

    " For now, I should be heading to the Longevity Hall." Yang Shi stood up as he was out again.

    The reason he was going there was to seek some knowledge and enlightenment after watching live alchemy. He was still stuck in his elixir brewing, so he needed to achieve a breakthrough as fast as possible.

    " My mes are already contaminated with Yang and Metal attribute energy. It ispletely different from a me that is used for alchemy. I need to refine Wood Spirit Seal faster."

    Yang Shi thought about the Heat of Forest he have and felt he needed to hurry. " I remember like the zing me Hall in Golden Fire Tower, there must be something simr in Longevity Hall as well. I can use that ce to condense the Wood Spirit Seal."

    Yang Shi swiftly reached the Longevity Hall where he saw Cheng Yu sitting on his desk.

    " Aha, Isn''t it''s Young noble Yang? Are you here to purchase herbs again?" Cheng Yu smiled politely.

    " Not really. I wish to join a live alchemy teaching ss." Yang Shi said.

    " Eh? You wish to learn alchemy?" Cheng Yu asked in confusion.

    " I just want to watch for fun, ok?" Yang Shi said annoyingly.

    " Then, You need to pay fifty credit points per hour." Cheng Yu smiled brightly.

    " Credit points? Damn, How can I get credit points here?" Yang Shi scratched his head. He suddenly thought something as he asked, " I have lots of credit points in Golden Fire Tower. Can I use them here?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Nope." Cheng Yu shook his head. " You can easily gain some credit points by doing missions here. You can also borrow others'' points as well." He added.

    " Really? How about it, Why don''t you send me a hundred points? And this mid tier Spirit grade sword will be yours." Yang Shi took out a random sword from his ring and gave it to Cheng Yu.

    Cheng Yu''s eyes sparkled as he looked at the sword.

    " Deal!" He nodded immediately.

    " Since you don''t have the badge of alchemists, I will write a receipt for you. After deducting fifty points, you have fifty points remaining." Cheng Yu said.

    But as they were talking, a luxurious carriage stopped outside of the Longevity Hall. Suddenly people swarmed around the entrance as a beautiful figure came out from the carriage.

    " Flower Princess Hua ising here to take the Alchemy exam!" Someone shouted.

    " Eh? Such a coincidence!" Yang Shi chuckled as he looked at the crowd.

    " I guess, I have already chosen which person to see to learn pill concoction."

 Chapter 238: Hua Yewans Test

    Chapter 238: Hua Yewan''s Test

    It''s verymon for peopleing to Longevity Hall to take the alchemy exam. Only after taking the exam, they can be called certified alchemists. Out of thousands, only a couple few have talents for alchemy, but talent only isn''t enough.

    Learning any kind of profession, be it alchemy, cksmithing, or talisman crafting, all need the tribute of money. Learning requires trials and errors, and each error costs a tremendous amount of money.

    Not everyone was like Yang Shi who has memory worth a giant library of Samara Emperor. Materials, hard work, and luck, all require mastering a profession.

    That''s why only wealthy factions groom such talents as they have all three. Many younger people can only join them to pursue their aim.

    As they were taking tests, people can pay some points to watch them as spectators. After all, watching someone concocting pills also helps one''s understanding of alchemy and pill refinement.

    But today, It was much different. Hua Yewan could be considered a celebrity in Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. Hering to take the alchemy exam caused a big ruckus.

    Since there are many young alchemists in the Longevity Hall, they felt their blood boiling as they saw Hua Yewaning out from her carriage.

    " Damnm! Flower Princess truly looks like a beautiful flower. Even her face is behind the veil, her eyes are enough to catch my soul."

    " Ahh! Only if I could be with her, I am willing to shorten a hundred years of my life."

    " Every night, I only fantasize about her. Ahh, My Flower Princes!"

    Yang Shi was speechless to see the reaction of these young men.

    Hold your horses, brothers. You guys are getting carried away. And what the hell about fantasizing all night? Your kidney will be empty even before you see a real girl.

    " Miss Hua, I am the youngest adept alchemist here. If Miss Hua wishes, I can show you around the Longevity Hall." A youth wearing the uniform of an alchemist suddenly stood up as he reached near Hua Yewan.

    " Lady Hua, He is just trash. I am currently the most genius Adept alchemist below twenty. I can help you to dispel your doubts." Another young man popped out as he pushed Long Tao.

    " I appreciate the admiration of everyone, But I hope you guys will calm the atmosphere and let me take the test with ease." Hua Yewan chuckle lightly as she spoke.

    The crowd suddenly turned silent they felt embarrassed, though, they still pestered her. The soldiers, who are the bodyguards of Huan Yewan, were having a hard time clearing the crowd.

    " Hmm, Although I had only left her some notes about beginner''s alchemy, she learned them pretty fast. Let''s see her performance." Yang Shi rubbed his chin as he remembered when he met her back then.

    He had traded the notes for her Bright Moon Crystal. Although he had written the notes in hurry, it was in fact, the most essence of pill refining and me controlling. Using Samsara Emperor''sprehension, he left a sort of treasure for her.

    " If sheprehended all that, she might be a Master grade alchemist." Yang Shi followed her to her examination room.

    It was like a giant hall, with three invigtors sitting there.

    " Elder Mu, It seems today, things might be a bit rowdy."

    " Hehe, Let the youngsters be.

    Hua Yewan entered the hall as she bowed before the examiner. The senior alchemists nodded.

    " Lady Hua, we have heard your name. You are the sole disciple of Lady White Crane, aren''t you?" Elder Mu asked curiously.

    " Thi humble one is indeed, Master Crane''s disciple. But due to my lowprehension, I couldn''t learn much from the master." Hua Yewan shook her head as she replied politely.

    " Ahem, Do you know where she is now?" Elder Mu asked.

    " Hehe, Elder Mu, you still have thoughts about her? It seems your age didn''t change your personality." The elder sitting next to Elder Mu chuckled loudly.

    " Hmph, I was just asking about her as an old friend. I am not a hypocrite like you guys." Elder Mu snorted.

    " Even I don''t know where the master is currently at. She already left the kingdom a year ago." Hua Yewan said.

    " Very well, Let''s talk about the alchemy test. The first test is based on knowledge, would like to give a written test or a debate?" The second elder asked.

    " I would like to choose the debate." Hua Yewan spoke.

    The written test is like a typical exam, while in the debate, one had to face the questions of the examiners. It can be hard or tricky or can be easy. But it''s only the first round of the test.

    " First question- What are the three main ingredients of Soaring Cloud Pill?" The first elder asked.

    " Core blood of Ice Minx, Purple River Weed, and Misty Sprout Flower." Hua Yewan answered immediately.

    The elder showed no expression as they kept taking the notes. They won''t reveal the scores till the end.

    " Name all the auxiliary herbs in Soothing Moon Pill."

    " Third question- What will happen if Nightwing Flower and Ghostly Root are concocted together?

    The elder asked questions nonstop and Hua Yewan was able to answer all of them. The elders asked around a hundred questions, after that they stopped.

    " Lady Hua answered eighty three correct answers from one hundred questions. Impressive." Elder Mu smiled as he said atst.

    " Damn! Such a high score!"

    " I can barely answer twenty of them. Lady Hua truly has qualifications for a master grade alchemist." People admired her.

    Even the knowledge test is the first test for alchemists, the theoretical knowledge is tooplex for even a cultivator to remember.

    One has to remember thousands of herbs and their ten thousandbinations. Moreover, it''s only enough for Adept and Master grade.

    But Yang Shi shook his head. Although he doesn''t have any practical knowledge in alchemy, his theoretical knowledge could be called near perfect. Samsara Emperor, who had lived across eras, knows the countless amount of herbs.

    " Heh, If I was the one giving the test, I would have answered all of them correctly. Nheless, her talent is still good."

    " But theoretical knowledge is just theories in the end." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Let''s proceed to the next test. This test is simple. Within six hours, concoct a rank three pill." Elder Mu said.

    The test was simple and straightforward, yet it''s the most crucial thing to be an alchemist. Most people choose some basic rank three pills to concoct to ease their difficulty.

    Another reason is that most pill recipes are strictly guarded by alchemy factions, and without a pill recipe, one can''t refine a pill.

    As most cultivator whoes to take the alchemy exam are from a humble background, they can only learn pill recipe which is avable in public.

    " I will refine a Clear Water Pill." Hua Yewan spoke.

    " Very well, We are giving you three sets of materials. You need to refine pills from one set sessfully to pass the test." Elder Mu nodded.

    One set of herbs can be refined into nine pills at most. Moreover, each pill is graded as low grade, mid grade, and high grade.

    Beyond high grade is the Legendary grade. So at the pinnacle of alchemy, one can produce nine legendary grade pills.

    But it''s just treated as a myth as legendary grade pills are rare like Heavenly Sovereigns. But Yang Shi fully understood that in both ancient and recent times, many individuals could make legendary grade pills without any effort.

    Hua Yewan took out her cauldron as she made several hand signs. A lump of me appeared in her palms it took shape of a bird.

    " Beast me from Red Beak ming Bird? That''s a grade two spirit me." A person hissed. " As far I can remember, It has the ability to be a grade three me if cultivated well."

    The ming bird pped its wing as it zed around the cauldron. Hua Yewan''s hands were moving gracefully as she added herbs into the cauldron.

    Under everyone''s eyes, the herbs melted slowly as Hua Yewan extracted the essence from it.

    The time passed, and it was already pat an hour. Hua Yewan already extracted the essence from all herbs.

    " Hah!" She pped her hands as the mes rose around the cauldron. The essence slowly merged as the congealed into beads.

    " The essence condensation! She is almost at thest stage!" Everyone held their breath as they watched her.

 Chapter 239: Successfully Brewing An Elixir

    Chapter 239: Sessfully Brewing An Elixir

    The essence condensation is the final step in the pill concoction. When all the essence merges together, one needs to control the me for pill formation.

    Sweat trickled from Hua Yewan''s face as her expression remained calm. But suddenly, the cauldron began to rumble violently.

    Spiritual qi burst from her body as she tried to suppress the rumblings. But after some time, ck smoke came out from the cauldron.

    The crowd sighed as they understood what it meant.

    The pill concoction had failed.

    Hua Yewan sighed but she was quick enough to remove all the scrap and used another set of herbs in no time.

    Yang Shi''s Celestial View was activated from the beginning as he watched all the process.

    He was able to catch the minute mistake made by Hua Yewan, which caused her pill concoction to fail.

    After watching the pill concocting technique of Hua Yewan, Yang Shi made many mental notes. Hepared his elixir brewing technique and was able to notice his mistake.

    Hua Yewan''s second concoction was even faster than her first concoction.

    She quickly sorted the herbs and extracted the essence. Her spiritual qi was running nonstop and she was getting faster.

    In just half an hour, she already extracted the essence from herbs. She already reached the pill formation stage.

    She made hand signs again as the ming bird pped its wings as it suddenly divided into four smaller birds.

    Each bird guarded one direction of the cauldron. The crowd became amazed at the me maniptions.

    After another fifteen minutes, the mes puffed out as Hua Yewan stopped the pill concoction. A rich medicinal aroma spread out as she opened the cauldron lid.

    Seven pills popped out from it.

    Her maid came running with a towel and a basin of freshwater.

    " I am fine!" Hua Yewan wiped her sweat as she shook her head.

    " Two normal pills, four low grade, and one mid grade Clear Water Pill. Very good!" Elder Muughed as she pped.

    " You will receive your alchemy batch and uniform shortly." The three elders nodded as they made their decision. Hua Yewan bowed as she got up.

    The people again swarmed around her like bees around flowers.

    " Miss Hua is a beauty with brain indeed."

    " Lady Hua, can you dispel my doubts regarding alchemy?"

    " Lady Hua! I need your alchemy technique!"

    The crowd started to shout again as they were congratting Hua Yewan.

    She didn''t express any sort of emotion, only a calm face. But then,

    " I must congratte Lady Flower Princess for bing a Master grade alchemist." Hearing a voice, Hua Yewan suddenly stopped as she looked at the owner of the voice.

    " Quite a pleasant surprise to see Young noble Yang here." Hua Yewan''s eyes brightened as she suddenly pushed the crowd and walked toward Yang Shi.

    " I must thank you for your notes. It really helped much toprehend the foundation of alchemy." Hua Yewan smiled.

    " As long as a beauty is appeased, I won''t mind helping her." Yang Shiughed. But suddenly, he felt strange as he looked at the crowd.

    The crowd was giving him a death re, especially the youngsters.

    Yang Shi felt their eyes are spilled mes of jealousy and anger.

    Yang Shi felt if emotions can turn into such mes, his soul might have been incinerated by their res.

    " Is that so? I am returning back to Firmament City. I hope when Young noble has time, he would visit me." Sheughed as she turned around.

    " Are you causing trouble for me? At this rate, all the young men of the kingdom will line to beat me." Yang Shi sighed.

    " Young noble is capable enough to deal with that." Hua Yewanughed as she walked away,

    Her peal ofughter was like bells ringing, which was soothing to hear. Yang Shi became stunned, but then he smiled wryly.

    Yang Shi could feel the dark cloud of anger above the crowd.

    " Hiss! Who is that young man? Why the hell Lady Hua is getting friendly with him?

    " Damn it! Lady Huaughed with him! There is definitely something between them!"

    " Fuck! His face is making infuriated. I will beat him to a pulp!" A young man hissed.

    Yang Shi shrugged at the response as he also walked away. He reached the treasure hall and asked Cheng Yu to give him a cultivation room in Southwood Peak.

    " You want to go to the Southwood Peak to cultivate?" Cheng Yu''s eyes were widened in surprise. " Yes, I need the top quality room there." Yang hi nodded

    Southwood Peak is near the Herb garden of Longevity Hall, so that ce is rich in spiritual qi and Wood qi.

    Many alchemists save their points to spend time in Southwood Peak as not only does it raise one''s cultivation speed, but concocting pills there has a higher chance of sess.

    " I am sorry, currently all the rooms are full in Southwood Peak. You need to wait at least two days to get a room. One day in the top quality room there requires one hundred points." Cheng Yu shook his head.

    " Damn! Anyway, When the top most room gets emptied, reserve it for me. If I don''t get back in two days, then cancel the reservation." Yang Shi spoke.

    Yang Shi hurriedly went to his allotted residence in the Longevity Hall and entered the pill refining room.

    He ced his golden cauldron there and prepared all the medicinal herbs. His spirit me ignited as he threw herbs in the cauldron.

    Yang Shi''s hands moved like a serpent as he controlled the me.

    He also controlled his Gold Devil Seal to remove any Metal qi from his Spirit me.

    His Celestial View was monitoring the minute changes in the cauldron.

    Yang Shi slowly started to extract the essence from herbs as they slowly mixed.

    " Hahh!"

    Yang Shi clenched his fist as the me bloomed like a flower. After that, he extinguished the me.

    Inside the cauldron was yellow earth colored liquid, with the amount of two bottles. Yang Shi sniffed the scent as he thought,

    " This should be a Strength Elixir." He muttered

    He filled a bottle with Strength elixir and gulped it. A rich taste went down his throat as he circted the elixir''s energy.

    Although it was quite negligible for him, he felt his muscles grow as his strength increased slightly.

    But it wasn''t weird as Yang Shi''s body was much more unusual than other cultivators.

    Firstly, He has Nine Saints Extreme Yang Skeleton and Immemorial Evil Yin Veins, moreover, his body was tempered by sharp Metal qi. So the elixir had almost no effect on him.

    " I should try some low-level cultivator to try them out." Yang Shi thought. Just because it was ineffective for him, it wasn''t useless at all.

    He drank the remaining elixir and started to brew a new Strength Elixir.

    This time, with his boosted confidence, he changed some herbs and quickly brewed another set, filling three bottles.

    He went back to Cheng Yu to post a mission.

    " I need to post a mission. I need three persons, with the cultivation of Fifth stage of Primordial Spirit Realm or lower."

    " Even the Spiritual Ascension realm will be enough. Need to test a new medicine. The reward will be a hundred thousand gold coins." Yang Shi said.

    " New medicine?!!" Cheng Yu''s expression turned sharp as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " Why not give a sample to Longevity Hall? We can even give a reward for that." He said hastily.

    A new pill can cause a huge ruckus in the entire kingdom. Longevity Hall always sought after pill recipes and pill refining methods, even it''s damaged or iplete.

    " No, Thanks. Since the medicine is still iplete, I can''t say anything about it. Let my master decide upon this." Yang Shi chuckled as he lied. He realized he needed to pull some tricks beforehand to avoid any suspicion.

    " Your master? Who is he? Wait, Why would you have an Alchemist as the master?" Cheng Yu was bewildered as he asked.

    " You don''t need to know." Yang Shi said coolly.

    After posting the mission there, he went out from the Longevity Hall and headed for the Central market.

    But then, he frowned as he saw several people approaching him. And looking at their faces, they were up to no good.

    " Herees the trouble.." Yang Shi massaged his temples as he walked.

 Chapter 240: Crazy Fanboys

    Chapter 240: Crazy Fanboys

    " Halt there!" A young man shouted as blocked Yang Shi''s path. Yang Shi frowned as he looked at him with displeasure.

    " Do I know you?" Yang Shi asked.

    " No, But you have done something which angered our senior brother." The young man said.

    " Hand over the veil of Flower Princess and don''t dare to go near her in future." The young man shouted.

    There are several of them, wearing the same purple uniform. Yang Shi could guess their identity a little as he recognized the uniform. But heughed coldly as he didn''t care about that.

    " I see. Brother, have eaten your lunch?" Yang Shi nodded with a thoughtful face as he asked.

    " Why are you asking that?" the young man asked in confusion.

    " Because of this."

    Yang Shi stretched his arm and clenched his fist. Like a cannonball, his fist moved as he punched the abdomen of that young man.

    At the same time, he stamped his feet, so the young man won''t get sted back from the impact.

    " KHEUUK!"

    The young man''s eyes almost popped out from his socket as he didn''t even understand what happened.

    He clenched his stomach as he retched. Yang Shi hurriedly backed away as the young man vomited.

    " You shouldn''t have lunch beforeing here. Too bad, food got wasted." Yang Shi sighed.

    " You bastard! Do you know who we are?" Another young man from the same group shouted. They were infuriated as they saw Yang Shi beating up one of them.

    " I don''t remember having any rtion with your mother. So, How can I know?" Yang Shi shrugged.

    " Brothers! Kill this vile bastard!" A person shouted. Swords, saber, and daggers are unsheathed as they charged at Yang Shi.

    " Gold Devil Armor!"

    Yang Shi casually activated his Gold Devil Seal as golden Metal qi flowed on his skin. He adjusted his position as he punched out with maximum momentum.

    His Gold Devil Seal grants him the maximum usage of Metal qi, which is known for both offense and defense.

    So using the Gold Devil Armor, he doesn''t need to worry about others'' attacks while he can unleash sharp and powerful attacks.

    *BANG BANG BANG BANG!*

    Yang Shi didn''t utilize any fancy technique, only some basic martial art moves. He was fighting with the most barbaric method.

    His punch broke someone''s arm while his kick disabled another''s calf.

    But suddenly, he felt a malicious intent as he hurriedly went to the side.

    An arc of me suddenlynded where he was standing before.

    " Heh, To think disciples of Golden Sun Sect resort to sneak attack." Yang Shiughed coldly as he looked at the neer.

    The neer wore a purple robe with a golden sun insignia. He looked like a young man of around twenty, holding a lean and bright sword.

    " Hmph, Do you know the consequences of beating the disciple of the Golden Sun sect!" The youth uttered coldly.

    " Brother Ming! He is here!" A Golden Sun Sect''s disciple cried in joy. Brother Ming nodded as he looked at Yang Shi with cold eyes.

    " Judging from your power, are you a Core disciple?" Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Why? Already regretting?" The brother Mingughed arrogantly.

    " Nah, It''s just I never crushed a core disciple before. It seems today is going to be fun." Yang Shi cracked his knuckles as he looked at brother Ming.

    " Heh, Arrogant fool." The brother Ming sneered as he shed out his sword. The sword shone with a bright light as multiple sword rays shot toward Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi snorted as he activated his Celestial View with his Soaring Eagle Immortal Steps.

    His figure moved like a ghost as he easily dodged the attack. Brother Ming felt slight astonishment, but it further fueled his anger.

    " Coward! Stop dodging my attack, be a man and face it!" He shouted, " Raging Sun Sword Burst!"

    His sword spun as it became bright like the sun. The crowd felt the temperature was rising as the air started to sizzle. Brother Ming''s sword spun like a vortex as it shed at Yang Shi.

    " Earthquake Fist!" Yang Shi''s Earth Monarch Seal rumbled as his right arm became heavy like a rock.

    With the momentum of Earth qi and the power of Metal qi, Yang Shi''s fist sted out.

    The sword and fist collided as a powerful shockwave spread. The ground beneath them cracked as Brother Ming felt he has rammed into a mountain. His technique dispersed as his expression changed greatly.

    " Impossible! How can he bare handed block the sect''s Raging Sun Sword Technique?!!" he felt something was wrong as suddenly, his hair stood on its end.

    Yang Shi''s figure suddenly appeared on his left side as Brother Ming heard, " Earthquake Fist!"

    A punchnded on his chest as Brother Ming felt his inner organs turning into mush.

    A light armor appeared over his body, but even with that, Brother Ming flew back like a broken kite.

    His body crashed on a wall, making a human shaped hole.

    Other than a bit of wound on his palm, Yang Shi''s arm looked perfectly fine. One could see a buzz of golden light over his body from time to time.

    " Holy shit! What''s with that young man''s strength?!" A person sucked cold air as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " The Raging Sun Sword Technique is a Mystic grade battle technique of Golden Sun sect. That Ming guy already crossed the Initialpletion stage."

    " Yet that sh was easily blocked by his bare hand." An old cultivator with sharp eyes concluded.

    " I never saw him before. Is he from some hidden faction? Or a disciple of some Sect from Distant Lands?" People wondered.

    Brother Ming slowly crawled out as he used his sword as a crutch. His body was bloodied as he was wobbling.

    " You-you" *Cough*

    Brother Ming spat a mouthful of blood. He shouted as raised his sword again.

    " Let''s try my new move. You are a perfect target." Yang Shiughed as his Spirit me appeared on his palm.

    " Spirit me?!" Brother Ming felt an ominous feeling as he saw the Spirit me of Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi willed as his Spirit me slowly turned into a fiery whip. It twisted like a living snake as it suddenly shot at Brother Ming.

    Like a python trapping its prey, the fiery whip wrapped Brother Ming. Although he was wearing Spirit grade armor, he still felt burning pain in his body.

    " Speak, Why do you wish to harm me?" Yang Shi slowly walked toward brother Ming.

    " Damn it! Release brother Ming!" A disciple suddenly got up from the ground as he raged, but before he could attack, a kick from Yang Shi again made himy on the ground.

    " B-because You stole The veil of Flower Princess andDared to flirt with her." Brother Ming said with a low voice.

    Yang Shi was stunned to hear such a reply. He felt both anger and amusement. He never thought that such fan boys exist even in this world.

    " So, You just grouped a bunch of Inner sect disciples of Golden Sun Sect toe and attack me?" Yang Shi took a deep breath as he suddenly punched Brother Ming''s face.

    As he was struck by the ming whip of Yang Shi, there was no room for dodging.

    *PHUAK!*

    A tooth knocked out from Brother Ming''s face as he fell down. With a flick of Yang Shi''s palm, the ming rope vanished.

    " So, Anyone from now, If you also wish to get the evil of Flower Princess, feel free toe after me." Yang Shi shouted. He looked at the crowd with a cold gaze as he turned to leave.

    By then, a group of guards already reached there. Judging from their armor, they looked like city guards of Azure Wind City.

    " Halt! Don''t you know, it''s forbidden to fight on city roads? And beating the Golden Sun Sect disciple on top of that? Junior, don''t fear punishment?" The captain of the guard asked with a grave voice.

    " Rather than quarreling with me, you should send them to infirmary first. As for catching me, do as you like." Yang Shi shrugged.

    His figure moved as he vanished from the crowd. He never considered fighting with city guards in the first ce.

    Although he has the confidence to win, he was still cautious of the Royal family behind the city guards.

    " Damn it!" The captain of the guards raged as he saw Yang Shi''s figure already reach a few dozen meters away.

    They looked at the sorry state of the Golden Sun Sect''s disciple as they carried them to the nearest infirmary.

    As for chasing Yang Shi? They felt they need to investigate his identity first, rather than jumping to make a move.

    Yang Shi stopped using his Soaring Eagle Immortal Steps as he already reached the central market.

    " What was the name of that ce again? Hmm?"

 Chapter 241: Bad Taste

    Chapter 241: Bad Taste

    Yang Shi wandered in therge market, trying to find the ce Mo Yi had mentioned. Around the eastern part, there were rows of medicinal stores, selling various herbs and pills.

    But there are threerger stores, or one could say, it''s like malls on modern Earth. Three stores belonged to four different factions.

    True Alchemy Pavilion was created by an elder of Longevity Hall. The second store was Spiritual Pill Hall, backed by the Dao Instruction Pagoda.

    The third was Azure Feather Medicinal Hall, backed by the royal n of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom.

    These three factionspeted again each other for hundreds of years. Each has its own strength.

    The Azure Feather Medicinal Hall was slightly weaker than the other two in terms of alchemy. But in terms of influence, it still has its home ground advantage.

    Yang Shi quickly made it through the bustling street as he looked for his destination. After turning left, he suddenly saw something interesting.

    Although the street was bustling with people and each store was full, this particr ce was deserted. One could say that not even flies are flying here. It was like a desert amidst of ocean.

    " Floating Cloud Restaurant?" Yang Shi read the name which was carved on an old wooden board. He was standing in front of an old three storied building, looking at it with a doubtful gaze.

    He entered the building, only to find a dozing middle aged man on the reception desk.

    Yang Shi mmed his hands on the table, making a noise enough to scare the man.

    " HUH?!! Oh? A guest?" The middle aged man jumped out as he looked at Yang Shi. But soon, his expression turned happy.

    "Little Wen, hurry up and receive our guest!" Pleasee inside." The man smiled as he weed Yang Shi.

    A young man around the age of twenty came running as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " May I take your order?" Little Wen asked as he looked at Yang Shi with a hopeful gaze.

    " Uhh How about this Five vored Soup and Roasted Spirit Duck? And a jar of Purple Mist Wine." Yang Shi looked at the menu as he said.

    The expression of the duo stiffened as they looked at Yang Shi. Yang Shi became confused as he looked at them.

    " Errm... Esteemed guest, currently, we areck those ingredients. Uhm" Little Wen muttered lowly.

    " Okay" Yang Shi nodded, " How about this Aromatic Sd and Three Stripe Prawn Soup?" He asked again.

    " Uhm we don''t have that either." Little Wen smiled, but his smile was uglier than crying.

    "" Yang Shi turned speechless.

    " I see. Just prepare what you can." Yang Shi waved his hands as he spoke. Little Wen nodded hurriedly as he went to the kitchen.

    " Business not going very well, is it?" Yang Shi asked that middle aged man.

    " Hehe, It''s not like that. It''s just we are having lesser customers these days." The man smiled.

    " Did I stutter?" Yang Shi stared at him. The middle aged man coughed in embarrassment.

    " Why don''t you just close this ce?" He asked.

    " Absolutely not!" The man''s face turned serious as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " It may look old and torn today, but once upon a time, it was the most sessful restaurant in the whole kingdom." The man said proudly.

    " Oh?" Yang Shi raised his brow. He wasn''t a native of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom, so he didn''t know much of its past affairs.

    " This restaurant was gifted by the third patriarch of Mo n to the ancestor of Wen family, who excelled in the dao of cooking. His dishes can even make the deadliest beasts into submissive pets."

    " It happened five hundred hear ago and five generation of Wen family made it one of the best restaurants. "

    " Especially the grandfather of Little Wen, who was a renowned chef even in the neighboring kingdoms. Even the King of Azure Feather Kingdom was interested to make him his cook."

    " But he denied, as he was bounded to this ce." The man said with a proud voice.

    " Fine, I understand. But what''s about the current situation?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Everything started after his death. Father of Little Wen did well at first, but then, he died from illness".

    " There are many other chefs beside him, but years after year, they all went to different ces. And thus, this ce declined." The man sighed.

    As he was talking, Little Wen already came with a few tes of dishes.

    " Thanks for waiting. Here, this is a Mine Herb Soup and this is Mixed Vegetable Stew. And this is a bowl of Spice Noodles." He arranged the dishes.

    Yang Shi looked at them, with internal sighing. They looked in and simple, like any house hold dishes.

    " Just because people like dishes which taste like home, you don''t need to make something this simple?" Yang Shi shouted inwardly.

    He felt even Ruxue can cook better than this.

    Yang Shi ate the noodles as he frowned, " This noodle is chewy, it feelsuncooked." He muttered. Then he tried the soup as he felt some vegetables are burnt.

    " What the fuck?" He almost cursed out.

    " I guess, you should close this ce soon." Yang Shi said, " You think raw noodles and burnt vegetables can save this shop?"

    " This" Little Wen was stunned as he heard Yang Shi. He tasted the dish himself as his face turned sour.

    " Damn it, The Fire rune in the kitchen is malfunctioning again." Little Wen cursed. " I am extremely sorry, dear guest." He bowed.

    " Now, Give me reasons, Why I shouldn''t close this ce?" Yang Shi started at them.

    Both of them were stunned, but the middle aged man suddenly realized something.

    " Are you from Mo n? Perhaps, you are the one who wants to buy this shop?" He asked slowly.

    " You are smarter than you look." Yang Shimented.

    Hearing that, The middle aged man sighed as Little Wen''s gaze turned hostile. Yang Shi saw that, but he ignored it.

    " I really didn''t n to shut this business abruptly, judging from the standard here, I think it''s better to close the restaurant." Yang Shi said.

    " NO!" Little Wen shouted as he turned aggressive.

    " Calm down young man." Yang Shi spoke lightly, even he was younger than Little Wen.

    " You can''t feed stories to customers, do you?"

    He suddenly got up as he walked to the kitchen. The kitchen was veryrge, but the amount of things inside is very few.

    He saw the cooking area, which looked old and rubbish. The Fire rune was used in the kitchen to draw the ground fire to cook.

    As things like the meat of Ferocious Beast and Demonic beast and spirit herbs are hard to cook, one needs the assistance of a powerful me for cooking.

    Yang Shi looked around the stove and saw the broken rune patterns. Then he looked at the storage and found the Freezing Ice Rune and Wind breeze rune are also not working properly.

    This world does not have things like a freezer and air venttors, but the mystical techniques here can supplement them all.

    The freezing Ice rune is like a freezer and Wind breeze rune is like a venttor.

    Yang Shi understood the feelings of Mr. Ramsay when he visited the hotels and restaurants.

    " Mo n has decided topensate you with 10 million gold coins. Now, If you like, I would like to reconstruct the ground floor today." Yang Shi spoke casually.

    " You-you can''t do that. This is my family''s legacy. This is my family''s pride. How can I sell this?" Little Wen roared.

    " Don''t forget, this belongs to the Mo n. Moreover, do you think your cooking can be considered excellent? Even my maid can cook better than you." Yang Shi snorted.

    " No matter what, I won''t" Little Wen was still raging but suddenly, he shuddered as he saw Yang Shi''s cold gaze. Yang Shi wasn''t in any mood for chit chatting here.

    " Young master, we can negotiate." The middle aged man tried to calm down Yang Shi.

    " First of all, I am taking this ce right now. I still haven''t demolished the restaurant."

    " Unless you show me some potential, I would rather hire another cook to run this ce." Yang Shi shrugged.

    He turned and went upstairs to check the living room.

    " Damn it." Little Wen cursed as he mmed his fist.

    " Uncle Han, contact Lin Ying, and ask him to repair all these runes.." Little Wen sighed.

 Chapter 242: Mysteries Of Runes

    Chapter 242: Mysteries Of Runes

    The ground floor was the restaurant and the other two floors are for the living.

    Yang Shi saw the second floor as it was very spacious. He nodded with approval as he went to the third floor.

    " Bedroom which can amodate arge bed? Check! Larger bathtub, Check! Showering facility? Check! A backyard garden? Check!"

    Yang Shi noted in his mind. He stood on the balcony of the third floor, where one can see the entire market.

    " Nice view. On the second floor, I can create a store for selling elixirs and weapons. The third floor is enough for even a dozen of people."

    " There is even a private room, I can use that as a forging room." Yang Shi chuckled.

    Yang Shi got down as he saw the middle aged man and little Wen were discussing. He didn''t care as he went outside.

    " Hmm, Firstly, I need people to renovate the entire second and third floor." Yang Shi understood the right ce for that.

    The Hundred Gold Pavilion is the ce where a person can get anything.

    Yang Shi paid around two million gold coins as he selected the furniture and other things.

    " Hmm, Can you tell me what happened to the Vital blood of Purple Thunder Wyvern?" Yang Shi suddenly remembered as he asked.

    " Tomorrow is thest date. But judging from the situation, Lady Shao may get it." A person nearby replied.

    " Lady Shao, eh? Soul Nourishing Wood, Spring of Life, Hmm" Yang Shi muttered as he thought about many things.

    " Mr. Yang, be assured. By this evening, your renovations will be fullypleted." The man in charge there assured Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi nodded as he went back to the Mo n manor. He was tired from all day work, so he wanted to take some rest. Thankfully, Bai Ruxue already prepared some tea for Yang Shi.

    " How was your day, Ruxue?" Yang Shi asked, " Had enough fun?"

    " Well, Little Jin was very excited to travel around. We visited many shops and bought some clothes." Bai Ruxue nodded.

    " Clothes?" Yang Shi''s imagination turned wild as he remembered the cosying.

    Bai Ruxue instantly understood Yang Shi''s intention as she scowled lowly. But then, her eyes squinted as a moan of pain came from her mouth.

    " Ruxue?! You are, hurt?" Yang Shi suddenly noticed the anomaly as he saw Bai Ruxue. " You went to the Battle Arena?" He asked sternly.

    Bai Ruxue lowered her head as she nodded.

    " But why? You should have told me." Yang Shi spoke worriedly.

    " What was there to be worried about? What could have happened to Sister Ruxue since I was with her?" Jin Yu came to the room as she spoke.

    " Young Master, you were the one who said that I need real battle experience. Moreover, the wound is very light, it will be gone till tomorrow." Bai Ruxue shook her head.

    " She did very well today, defeating three opponents at the same realm in a row. Hehe, Jade Fox, nice name." Jin Yu giggled.

    " Rest on the bed, I will prepare something for you." Yang Shi spoke. He took out his medicinal cauldron and started to refine the elixir.

    He was trying to make a powerful Healing elixir. He added herbs enough to make a grade two healing pill.

    But in this elixir, he increased the concentration, so the effectiveness will also increase.

    His spirit mes danced as he was fully focused on alchemy. After a while, a green elixir finally made appeared in the cauldron.

    " Is that an Earth grade cauldron?" Jin Yu''s eyes were sharp enough to notice the peculiarity of the medicinal cauldron.

    Bai Ruxue gasped in amazement as she looked at the cauldron. She knew it was a priceless treasure across the entire kingdom.

    " Indeed." Yang Shi nodded as she looked at Bai Ruxue. " Drink this." He gave her a cup of Healing elixir.

    Bai Ruxue drank it in one go as she sat in the meditative position. After a while, she opened her eyes in astonishment.

    " Young master, this elixir is indeed effective. My wound is almost healed. Moreover, the medicinal energy is very easy to refine." She eximed.

    " d it worked." Yang Shi smiled. " Now, go to sleep. You have worked hard today." Yang Shi caressed her hair as he spoke softly.

    " Young master, You should take some rest. You are working all night, barely taking rest." Bai Ruxue spoke.

    " Well, I still have lots of things to do. Don''t worry, I am used to it." Yang Shi chuckled.

    As he entered his forging room, he didn''t start forging immediately but sat on a chair and took out a book. The book was at least ten centimeters thick, with an old appearance.

    He took out pen and paper and started to write down notes from the book.

    It was precisely the book which he got from the Three Mysteries Shop of Dao Instruction Pagoda, The Mysteries of Runes: Talisman crafting of the Monarch of Seven Runes.

    " Monarch of Seven runes, a respectable figure across myriads of nes. His fame was sorely for his signature Seven runes."

    " Who had thought that he chose to distribute all his knowledge to the world through this book. But unfortunately, the world treated it as trash." Yang Shiughed.

    The principle of rune inscription was based on the concept of energy channeling. ording to legends, there used to be a race called Divine Spirit Monsters in the Immemorial era. They were the first ones to discover the usage of runes.

    Making patterns and imbuing with specific energy, it can resonate with Heaven and Earth and bring forth unimaginable power.

    But ording to the records known by norms, the Dragon race was the earliest user of runes.

    The dragon race could be called one of the mightiest races across the universe. They also held a terrifying knowledge regarding the soul and divine sense.

    Runes can be used in various ces, in weapons, in talismans, in alchemy. In fact, array formations are nothing more than the usage of runes but on arger scale.

    " Even though there are countless paths, the summit of dao is the same." Yang Shi muttered.

    As he had the memory of Samsara Emperor, deciphering the book was an easy feat for him. He wanted to learn about runes solely because it was necessary to forge True grade weapons.

    " To inscribe a rune, one needs to use their soul qi as a channel. If soul qi can''t be used, one needs to use a stone called Perception crystal.

    " But that just lowers the chances of inscribing a rune. Secondly, one needs an inscription pen. "

    As for making a talisman, one needs to have a Talisman brush, Talisman paper, and ink made from various rare materials.

    " Basic runes can use three easier elements- Fire, Water, and Earth. Creating runes of Wood is slightly difficult."

    " After that, inscribing Metal, Wind attribute rune is harder. And the mostplicated one is Lightning."

    " But there are others, like Light and Darkness, Sword and Force runes. But that is beyond basic inscription."

    " The runes can be graded as nine ranks. The rank one can be considered as basic rank, as it utilizes basic elemental force. Most people regard this as useless."

    " But when the rune bes advanced andplex, even the simple five elemental rune can be terrifying. It all depends onprehension."

    Yang Shi''s heart was immersed in the study of runes as a silhouette of azure lotus already appeared behind him.

    As an effect of Azure Lotus, Yang Shi can instantly calm his mind and enter an enlightenment state. During the enlightenment state, hisprehension increased by many folds.

    " The Fire rune is one of the most basic runes. Fire rune can be used to make rank one talisman like Fireball talisman or me Torch talisman."

    " But when one changes the structure a bit, it will turn into Radiant Fire rune, which is three times more powerful than basic Fire rune. While staying in the same ranks, the power gap was vast."

    After six hours of study and writing, Yang Shi finally stopped as he gazed at his notes. He was writing what he understood after reading the book.

    Although he had ess to the memory of Samsara Emperor, it wasn''t his own memory after all.

    Within the vast sea of knowledge, Yang Shi had to use his own wits toprehend things.

    It''s like digging a treasure trove, where patience and persistence are necessary. The more he dug through the memory, the more heprehended.

    Spirit diagrams are simplified versions of runes. So, to make a True grade weapon, inscribing a rune is necessary.

    " Let''s begin."

 Chapter 243: Essence Of Moves

    Chapter 243: Essence Of Moves

    Yang Shi opened his forge and forged thin sheets of metal tes. With his precise hammerings, the metal tes were thin like leaves.

    Yang Shi did not want to inscribe rune directly over the weapon. Firstly, he wanted to familiarize himself with the art of inscription.

    Thankfully, there was an inscription pen with his forging table. That saved him from buying a new one.

    Yang Shi calmed his breathing as his Azure Lotus primordial spirit appeared. His Celestial View was already activated as he slowly used his soul qi.

    He could feel his mind was strangely connected with the inscription pen. Even without his five senses, he could feel it like his own part. A formless energy entered the pen as it slightly glimmered.

    " Let''s start with the basic Fire rune." Yang Shi''s hands moved as he tried to carve the Fire rune. Each stroke was drawn carefully. He could feel his soul qi was infusing within the runic lines.

    After half an hour, Yang Shi breathed lightly as he stopped inscribing. On the metal sheet, there was a fully inscribe Fire rune.

    Yang Shi tapped it with his fingers as he channeled his spiritual qi in it.

    The rune lighted up as sparkles of mes appeared. The runic lines seemed to be filled with mes as the metal sheet suddenly caught fire. It was a small fire, like amp. But the result was enough to satisfy Yang Shi.

    " Well, It seems my talent isn''t too bad for inscription. Hmm, but the movement of my soul qi isn''t flexible as I anticipated." Yang Shi rubbed his chin.

    He took out three more sheets as he started practicing the inscription of the Fire rune. After sessfully inscribing the second Fire rune, he proceeds to make a third one.

    But suddenly his mind felt dizzy a he almost made an error in the inscription. After the third one, when he started inscribing the fourth rune, the dizziness increased.

    Yang Shi''s eyes were closed in pain. He felt a thousand bells ringing in his mind, making him feel hallucinate.

    " My soul qi is already depleted?" Yang Shi muttered as he looked at his soul. He didn''t inscribe any more runes as he sat and meditated.

    Just like spiritual qi, soul qi isn''t infinite. There is a limit to how much soul qi one can use. Like the dantian is the storage ce of spiritual qi, a person''s soul qi is stored within the Sea of Consciousness.

    The Sea of Consciousness is the most vulnerable ce of a cultivator. Not only does it contain soul qi, but it also contains all the memories of a person.

    To fully control one''s soul qi, one needs to open their Sea of Consciousness.

    Even one reaches the Violet Pce Expansion Realm and awakes their souls, they still needed to put effort to open the sea of consciousness.

    But Yang Shi''s sea of consciousness was forced opened when he received the memories of Samsara Emperor.

    Yang Shi checked his soul, which looked exactly like him. Its body was formed with light particles as it floated. Butpared to the regr souls, it looked much shorter. The seal of Samsara Emperor looked dim.

    Yang Shi noticed a peculiarity in his soul. Unlike having a transparent body, his soul looked much more corporeal. Moreover, his soul was nourished by the subtle light of the Azure Lotus.

    " Even till now, I didn''t find everything about the Azure lotus and Crimson lily. Damn it, I don''t know why Samsara Emperor blocked his memory about them." Yang Shi cursed.

    " And that fucking Soul Extinguishing Talisman, damn it, it almost killed me." Yang Shi clenched his teeth.

    Yang Shi realized that due to his damaged soul, his sea of consciousness also contains less soul qi than average.

    If a regr cultivator''s soul qi storing capacity is a small pond then Yang Shi''s is a big bathtub.

    " I need methods to heal my soul. Unfortunately, soul qi is not like spiritual qi, which a person can absorb from the air. I need Soul Nourishing Pills." Yang Shi mumbled as he waited to replenish his soul qi.

    " But after I started inscription, I felt I am using soul qi even more smoothly. Although my soul iscking in quantity, the quality is quite good." Yang Shi mumbled.

    He studied a bit more about runes before he went to sleep. He felt he needed to make some ns before he could craft a True grade weapon.

    " Damn"

    Yang Shi was about to sleep with Bai Ruxue when his eyes squinted. He saw Jin Yu was already sleeping with her.

    " When we shift to our new home, I guess I need to prepare a separate room for Jin Yu." Yang Shi smirked evilly.

    Since he couldn''t sleep and it was already dawn, Yang Shi went to the courtyard.

    Mo Xiaowen was practicing his sword technique as usual. After he saw Yang Shi came, he stopped.

    " Well, You are quite early today." H spoke.

    " Hehe, because I couldn''t sleep, I came to ask for some pointers from Brother Xiaowen." Yang Shi smiled.

    " You want to spar again?" Mo Xiaowen asked curiously. " Little Brother Yang is truly umon among your peers. Only if Little Mo had shown such dedication." Mo Xiaowen sighed.

    " Haha, Brother Mo Yi is very talented. Sooner orter, he will be a powerful figure." Yang Shiughed.

    He sheathed his sword as he signaled Yang Shi to attack him. Yang Shi nodded as he had already drawn his saber.

    His saber hummed as a ferocious aura appeared from Yang Shi. His saber seemed to be like a fierce tiger, getting ready to pounce on its prey.

    " Basic saber intent?!" Mo Xiaowen''s eyes got narrowed as he gazed at Yang Shi. He remembered when they sparred previously, Yang Shi didn''tprehend saber intent.

    Yang Shi adjusted his position as he activated his Soaring Eagle Immortal Steps right away. His figure blurred as he dashed at Mo Xiaowen.

    Ordinary people could only see a blur while Mo Xiaowen could fully see the movements of Yang Shi. His lips curled as he straighten his palms.

    " Sharp Sword Chop!" Mo Xiaowen''s palm moved as he made a chopping attack on Yang Shi. Even Yang Shi was moving quickly, Mo Xiaowen''s move caught him off guard.

    Yang Shi used his saber as he released his saber intentpletely. A powerful momentum appeared on the saber as it shed with Mo Xiaowen''s palm.

    *DING*

    A muffled sound rang out like two metals collided. Yang Shi''s eyes were squinted as he saw his saber didn''t even touch Mo Xiaowen''s palm.

    He could feel a sharp sword intenting from his palm. It felt like Mo Xiaowen''s palm was a sword itself, sharp enough to cut anything on its path.

    Mo Xiaowen stood firmly on one spot, doing stabbing, chopping, shing with his bare hands. Yang Shi was already pressed to a defensive position, but it only fueled his battle intent.

    His speed increased and he started to attack Mo Xiaowen from every direction. " Gold Devil Armor, Gold Split!" Yang Shi jumped as the saber in his hands burst with golden rays.

    It was like zaps of golden lightning, looking eye catching during the time of dawn. The saber was nowhere in sight, only whistling of winds.

    Mo Xiaowen raised his brows as his fingers parted. Fives rays of silver light shed with Yang Shi''s saber.

    *DING DING DING DING*

    Yang Shi could feel the sharpness of Mo Xiaowen''s sword intent. It was much more powerful than his basic saber intent.

    Seeing his moves were blocked again, Yang hi chose to retreat a few steps.

    " Brother Yang has made some improvements, but it''s still far from enough." Mo Xiaowen chuckled. " Your moves are outstanding, but I think they arecking a bit of something." He advised.

    Yang Shi heard Mo Xioawen as he was startled. He stopped attacking him and readjusted his position. He closed his eyes as he was thinking in his heart.

    " Lacking something? What is my saber technique iscking? Strength? Sharpness? Agility? Flexibility? No!" Yang Shi questioned himself. He was going as per the technique instructed.

    But Mo Xiaowen''s advice made him doubtful of his own approach. He held his saber as he tried to hear its call.

    He didn''t feel that Mo Xiaowen was ying any tricks on him, as he got no reason to do so.

    " Essence! I amcking the essence of the moves!" Yang Shi''s eyes snapped open.

    He felt the Azure Lotus in him stirred gently as myriads of thoughts cleared from his mind, making him focused.

    Gold Split, the move doesn''t imply only the use of sharp Metal qi. It means using the saber with unparallel sharpness, a sharpness that can cut through metal like butter.

    Tiger descending from Mountain, the essence of this move is having an indomitable aura. A powerful and fierce aura, which can rip apart mightiest beasts to shred.

    Yang Shi opened his eyes as his pupils were dyed in azure.

    Mo Xiaowen''s eyes squinted as he felt Yang Shi''s aura suddenly turn much sharper.

 Chapter 244: Mighty Sword Intent

    Chapter 244: Mighty Sword Intent

    Yang Shi held the saber as it was glowing with golden Metal qi. His Gold Devil Seal was churning with Metal qi.

    Suddenly, His saber wasbusted with crimson mes as the mes rolled on Yang Shi''s arm.

    His spirit me merged with his Metal qi, making metallic sparkles appear. Hebined his spirit me with Gold Split.

    " ming Gold sh!"

    His saber shed out as the air filled with ming after images. Mo Xiaowen''s palm swept like a gust as his silver sword light streaked like a sh. It blocked some of the saber lights, but a few managed to get past the attack.

    Yang Shi''s figure moved as he shot like an arrow. His saber swung as he targeted the shoulders of Mo Xiaowen.

    " Sword Fingers- Cross sh!" Mo Xiaowen closed his palms as thin silver rays covered around Yang Shi like a. Yang Shi''s saber moved like a whirlwind as he pounced.

    " Tiger Descending from Mountain!"

    " ROOAARR!"

    His saber roared and a tiger made from me materialized. Mo Xiaowen''s palm became bright as several illusory swords appeared.

    The sword shed with the ming tiger, but it still moved forward. But suddenly, Yang Shi changed his attacking direction.

    His Celestial View saw the attack trajectory of those illusory swords. Although they were fast, he can still use the gaps between them.

    " Gold Split! One Line Chop!" Yang Shi''s saber became clear as he made a diagonal sh.

    With his agility, he used a slight gap in the attack of Mo Xiaowen as his saber already reached his body.

    A ten meter saber light shed like a star as it shed the left arm of Mo Xiaowen.

    Mo Xiaowen finallyughed as he saw there is no way to dodge this attack if he didn''t use his full power.

    But he never considered using his full power to fight against Yang Shi. That will be the same as killing him.

    He used his left arm to block the sh. A thin line of wound appeared as blood trickled down,

    " Good! Such a fast and sharp attack." Mo Xiaowen praised. " Moreover, the Metal qi in it is also causing extra damage."

    " Still, it''s not enough." Yang Shiughed bitterly. " I hope I can witness the true sword skill of Brother Xiaowen."

    " Let it be." Mo Xiaowen nodded as he grabbed his sword hilt.

    " Sword Opening! Brilliance!" His sword unsheathed like a gust of wind. The moment Mo Xiaowen''s sword appeared, it shone with a blinding sword light. Just looking at it can sting a person''s eye.

    A streak of silver light shot at Yang Shi with terrifying speed. Yang Shi''s hair stood on its end. Even with his Celestial View, the attack looked blurry.

    He ced the saber in front of him in a vertical manner. His Gold Devil Armor erupted fully. But before even Yang Shi could counter attack, the sword ray shed at his chest.

    -BANG!*

    Yang Shi sted back like a ragdoll. Arge wound appeared on his chest. He was thankful that Mo Xiaowen retracted most of its power at thest moment.

    He was astonished as his Gold Devil Seal was torn in half. His defense couldn''tst against this attack.

    " Onest time!" Yang Shi''s eyes became serious as he got up. Although the blood was flowing out from his wound, he knew it was nothing more than a shallow wound.

    " Still stubborn?" Mo Xiaowen was startled.

    " One move!" Yang Shi grabbed his saber with both his hands. His saber intent became concentrated in the de. Yang Shi used the Soaring Eagle Immortal Steps to its maximum.

    His dantian boiled as he pushed all of his spiritual qi into his meridian. He used all of his spiritual qi to fuel his technique.

    He could feel his meridian swelling, but that made his speed reach a new level.

    Yang Shi''s body shuttled as it left after images behind it. His saber whistled as it cut through the wind.

    " With a swing, even an immovable mountain shall split in half!"

    " Mountain Cut!"

    Yang Shi''s saber aura erupted like a tidal wave. A saber image of twenty meter appeared as it descended downwards.

    *BOOOM*

    The saber fell as a terrifying energy came forth. The ray of saber light shed the ground in half as it traveled vertically at Mo Xiaowen.

    Mo Xiaowen''s eyes turned serious for the first time as his sword aura erupted, He used his sword to block the attack of Yang Shi.

    *CLANNNGGGGG!*

    The sword collided with the saber as the ground cracked. To Mo Xiaowen''s surprise, he was pushed backward. The pressure of Yang Shi''s attack made him frown.

    " Marvelous!" Mo Xiaowen sheathed his sword as he pped. Yang Shi stood feebly, gasping for air.

    " Even you jusprehended the basic saber intent, your usage has far exceeded any cultivator of Primordial Spirit Realm." Mo Xiaowen praised.

    " Even among disciples of ancient families andrger sects, such talent is rare." Mo Xiaowen thought.

    " Brother Xiaowen, what is your sword intent stage?" Yang Shi asked.

    " I onlyprehended the low stage of the First realm." Mo Xiaowenughed.

    Intents are categorized into nine realms, from the first realm to the ninth realm. Basic realm is below the first intent realm. The Basic realm is like a gateway, where one can only use a tiny part of intents.

    What is intent? When a cultivator awakes the soul, he could feel the energy within heaven and earth.

    With theprehension of a type of energy, the cultivator can borrow more power from nature.

    If one can understand the source, they can use the respective energy more efficiently.

    For example, a normal cultivator who uses his technique to manipte mes is far weaker than the one whoprehended the Fire intent.

    Withprehending the Fire intent, one can create fire without even using spiritual qi. They can borrow the power of mes from nature itself.

    Of course,prehending an intent is far more difficult than one can imagine.

    Firstly, most people start thinking about intents when they reach the Violet Pce Expansion realm.

    Moreover, even with the soul, it can''t guarantee toprehend the intent.

    There are various restrictions toprehend intent.

    Firstly, the technique practiced by the cultivator. Only techniques of Heaven grade and beyond have insights of intents.

    The higher the technique, the better chances toprehend an intent.

    Secondlyes innate talents. There are countless people with unique bloodlines and physical constitutions. Such people had a natural affinity towards the intents.

    For example, those with a bloodline of a higher stage cultivator canprehend better than any average person.

    A person who has a me attribute body canprehend Fire intent much faster.

    Thirdly, there are many wondrous treasures in the world, which contain natural intent by themselves.

    Having them is like ascending heaven in a single step. But those are much rare and one needs to have enough luck and strength to find them.

    " Brother Yang, have you ever thought to leave this ce and head to the province capital??" Mo Xiaowen suddenly asked.

    " Not before I breakthrough to Violet Pce Expansion Realm. I am stillcking in strength." Yang Shi shook his head.

    From Yang Shi''s geographical knowledge, they are living in the Floating Cloud Continent. It has three major domains- Southesea Domain, Crystal Pearl Domain, and Soaring Mountain Domain.

    The Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom is on the border of Western and Southern provinces, But it''s still considered as proper Western Province.

    There are also many kingdoms around them, but Azure Feather is much more powerful than them.

    Currently, the most powerful kingdom in Western Province is Soaring Star Supreme Kingdom, while True Martial Sect is the giant of Southern Province.

    There are five major kingdoms in the Western Domain. If one ranks them, Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom will definitely secure third ce.

    The first ce naturally belongs to the Soaring Star Supreme Kingdom while the second ce goes to the Turbid Wave Sect. Even it''s called a sect, it controls a kingdom of the size of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom.

    Apart from five of them, the rest of the kingdoms are pretty weak inparison. If not for a pact formed by their ancestors, they would have already been devoured by the powerful kingdoms.

    " Although things are looking calm, in fact, a terrifying undercurrent is flowing in the shadows. The opening of Mysterious Spirit Realm will just hasten the process." Mo Xioawen spoke lowly.

    " Undercurrents?" Yang Shi''s eyes squinted.

    " Hehe, You don''t need to worry about it now. Junior Brother Yang, be prepared for the Royal Martial Tournament and Mysterious Spirit Realm." Mo Xiaowenughed.

    Yang Shi looked at the rising sun as he fell in contemtion.

 Chapter 245: Rune Master And Brush

    Chapter 245: Rune Master And Brush

    Yang Shi carefully analyzed his learning from the spar with Mo Xiaowen. He looked at his Heaven Cmity as he caressed it gently. The saber hummed slightly in response.

    Yang Shi''s divine sense could feel a weak soul energy within the saber. From his guess, it should be a damaged artifact spirit.

    " Unless I used some special techniques, recovering this saber will be very difficult. Soul techniques, I think there should be few." Yang Shi muttered.

    The disparity of the realm of intents between Mo Xiaowen and Yang Shi was like heaven and earth.

    Although Yang Shi had the confidence to ovee Mo Xiaowen, his cultivation is low.

    " Nevermind, All I need is time."

    Yang Shi stretched his arms. As for his wounds, he was already using his Wood Spirit Seal to heal them.

    He excised a bit and regted the flow of spiritual qi. Moreover, the time of dawn was good to absorb qi from nature.

    After a while, he got up and went back to his room. His clothes were already turned dirty from the sparring, so he changed to a new one. By then, Bai Ruxue had already woken from her sleep.

    Yang Shi smiled as he saw Bai Ruxue was stretching her arms as she was still drowsy.

    Her messy hair, crumpled clothes, and half closed eyes made a lovely image in Yang Shi''s mind.

    " Get up Ruxue, Today is a special day for us." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Eh? What happened, young master?" Bai Ruxue asked in surprise. Jin Yu was still sleeping beside her.

    " We are shifting to a new house, Our house." Yang Shi smiled.

    " What?" Bai Ruxue suddenly got up as she stared at Yang Shi with surprise.

    " A new house?" She asked again.

    " Well Yes. I bought a good new residence for us. Now, let''s leave our talks forter. Get ready, we are leaving soon." Yang Shiughed as he left.

    Yang Shi sat on a stone chair as he was reading the book about runes. After his experience, he was confident in craft talismans.

    " Mostly, runes are used in Talisman crafting. When Inscription and Forging merge, it creates wondrous treasures. Only a true Treasure Refiner can create all sorts of treasures." Yang Shi mused.

    " Runes are such wonderful things. When used on paper, it bes talismans. When used on weapons, it bes inscriptions."

    " When used onrge scale, it turns into array formations. Changes, one thing to another." Yang Shi closed his eyes.

    He could feel he was entering some sort of trance. He didn''t activate his azure lotus spirit, but he could feel that he was in a special state.

    " Young master, Shall we leave?" Suddenly, a voice interrupted him. He opened his eyes as he saw Bai Ruxue was calling me.

    " Tch."

    Yang Shi couldn''t help but sigh. It was truly unfortunate that such a chance urrence got ruined, but it wasn''t Bai Ruxue''s fault either.

    " Heaven is ying a game with me, eh?" Yang Shiughed wryly.

    " Let''s go Ruxue." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Yay, I aming also." Jin Yu also came running.

    The trio went to the Floating Cloud Restaurant. Bai Ruxue and Jin Yu, both of them were excited to ee their new house.

    " This restaurant?" Jin Yu asked with curiosity.

    " Well, It will be both our home and our business point. We are also opening a shop here." Yang Shi chuckled.

    Yang Shi opened the door of the restaurant, but suddenly he frowned. Inside, there were sounds of quarreling.

    " Wen Ran, You think I am running some charity foundation? How the hell do you expect me to work for free?" A young man shouted. He was dressed extravagantly as he was raging.

    " Mister Lin Ying, Please calm. It''s that we are not paying you. I hope you fix the runes first then we will discuss the paymentter." The middle aged man tried to persuade him.

    " Hah, You think I don''t know that you guys are penniless? I still haven''t gotten the previous debt and now you want to add more on the tab?" Lin Yingughed coldly.

    " Talking aboutst time huh? Do you think we are fools? You didn''t do shitst time. You are just fraud in the name of Rune master."

    " Otherwise, how could the runes malfunction for the second time in this month?" Little Wen couldn''t help but burst.

    " Yo-You! What did you just say?!" Lin Ying stammered in rage as he pointed at Wen Ran.

    " Mister Lin, He is just hot headed" The middle aged man hastily stopped Wen Ran.

    " What is happening here?!" A shout startled three of them. Yang SShi strode in as he looked at the middle aged man.

    " Ah! Noble Yang, howe you are here?" The middle aged man asked. " He is the Adept Rune master, Mister Lin Ying. He came here to fix the runes in the kitchen."

    " I see, so what I the problem? I don''t want nuisance here." Yang Shi spoke sternly.

    " Problem? These guys owe me around seventy five thousand gold coins. Plus they wanted me to work this time for free again. How could I not get angry?" Lin Ying snorted.

    " Really? Fine, fine! I will pay you instead." Yang Shi pinched his forehead as he paid gold coins to Lin Ying.

    " Noble Yang, This" The middle aged man was startled to see Yang Shi''s action.

    " I will just deduct the amount from the selling price of this ce. I am doing this for myself." Yang Shi shrugged.

    " Uhh, So, Mister Lin, since you are already here, why don''t you repair the runes? I will pay you instead." Yang Shi thought as he asked.

    Since he got the money, Lin Ying came back to his business mode. He said, " Sure, why not?" He quickly went to the kitchen.

    " Hmph!" Wen Ran snorted, " Everyone I just greedy bastards." He turned ad dashed out from the restaurant.

    " Little Wem!" The Middle aged man sighed, but he didn''t stop him.

    " Bai Ruxue, Jin Yu, You can go upstairs and check the rooms. I will be in the kitchen and observing Lin Ying." Yang Shi spoke as he went after Lin Ying.

    Lin Ying took out a brush with exquisite patterns. It looked very eyes catching as it has a lion''s mouth on the tip.

    From the opening of the mouth, silky thread made a brush with a shiny nib partially visible within.

    " Huu." Lin Ying breathed as he took out a small bottle and poured it on a pot. Thick ck ink came as it had a bright luster.

    " Is this ink is mixed with the dust of Perception stone?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

    " Of course. Unless one reaches Violet Pce Expansion Realm, they need to use Perception Stone ink to rece the usage of Soul qi." Lin Ying spoke.

    He dipped the brush in the ink as he started inscribing over the fire stove.

    He was doing it very meticulously. But after a few minutes, Yang Shi''s gaze turned odd.

    " Hold Up!"

 Chapter 246: Wrong!

    Chapter 246: Wrong!

    Yang Shi''s expression grew heavy as each moment passed. He closed his mouth, but one could see that Yang Shi was extremely ufortable.

    " WRONG! EVERYTHING IS WRONG!"

    Yang Shi shouted in his mind.

    After reading the book of Monarch of Seven Runes and understanding a portion of Samsara Emperor''s memory, Yang Shi''s knowledge about the runes far exceeds an average Rune master.

    When he saw the runic patterns made by Lin Ying, even without using his Celestial View, He could notice countless errors in them.

    Moreover, the patterns looked dull, like they do not have any energy within them.

    Yang Shi could guess that the concentration of Perception Stone ink Lin Ying was using so little that it''s making the runes almost lifeless.

    " Errm, Mister Lin, are you inscribing a Burning Petals Rune formation?" Yang Shi asked.

    " I see Young Noble Yang has some understanding towards rune patterns. You are correct; I am making a Burning Petal Rune formation."

    " With this, one can easily utilize the ground fire, and cooking beast meat will be much easier." Lin Ying spoke.

    " But, As far as I know, there should be seven basic Fire runes with a rank one Burning rune in the middle, right?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " Oh, that? I know." Lin Ying said.

    " But why you have inscribed only four Basic Fire runes with a Burning rune?" Yang Shi questioned as he pointed at it.

    " Young noble Yang, some things are just better to remain in books."

    " If I draw seven of basic runes, the rune formation will copse as a single Burning rune can''t handle them all." Lin Ying answered

    " Copse? B-but why they would copse? If you use Binding Runes to connect them, it won''t copse at all." Yang Shi advised.

    " Do you not know the Rune Formation Spirit Technique?"

    " Rune Formation Spirit Technique? You mean the legendary technique which allows one to connect several runes in one go and enhance the performance of Rune Formation?"

    " That technique was lost a long ago." Lin Ying shook his head.

    Suddenly his hands trembled as he made a mistake in the inscription.

    " Damn it! I have to do it all over again." Lin Ying sighed. But his expression was calm, like such mistakes are verymon.

    " Such things happen during inscription. I wish I had the ability of my master."

    " He could make this rune formation without any mistakes." Lin Ying chuckled

    Yang Shi almost punched him on his face. It was amon rune formation and even in that, this bastard is making mistakes.

    But Yang Shi couldn''t understand how an important technique like Rune Binding Spirit Technique got lost. No, it wasn''t lost at all.

    The Rune Binding Spirit Technique was hidden inside the book of Monarch of Seven Runes.

    If one wants to learn the Rune Binding Spirit Method without learning directly, they have to learn the Spirit Chain Method described in the book

    But Spirit Chain Method was perhaps too basic and low for cultivators, so they generally go after higher grade techniques rather than cultivating basic techniques.

    " The key of Rune Binding Spirit Technique lies in the Spirit Chain method, but it seems people have forgotten it with time." Yang Shi sighed.

    Lin Ying was more focused in the second. After an hour, he finally wiped his sweat as he said,

    " Whew, The rune formation isplete. The stove is ready to use."

    With a snap of his finger, the runes emitted fiery light as suddenly mes appeared. Yang Shi checked the mes with his hands.

    " Although it''s not perfect, it''s passable for cooking. But I don''t think it willst more than three months." Yang Shi thought.

    This Lin Ying guy might be a haughty guy, but his talent of rune inscription can be considered as good in the Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. But in Yang Shi''s eyes, it might be below ordinary.

    " But it''s not entirely his fault. The study of runes in Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom isn''t much deeper, making the Rune master''s foundation shallow." Yang Shi scratched his head.

    " Next, the Freezing Rune and Wind Breeze Rune." Lin Ying was about to begin his work again but Yang Shi stopped him hastily.

    " Mister Lin, I think that should be enough for now. I just wanted to fix the cooking stove. A for the other two, I will seeter." Yang Shi spoke.

    " Really?" Lin Ying doubted, " I still have time to fix the other two."

    " Thanks for your concern, but you can stop now." Yang Shi shook his head. " Mister Lin, May I take your Talisman brush for a moment?" He suddenly asked.

    " Sure." Lin Ying didn''t think much as he handed it to Yang Shi. Yang Shi held the brush as he inspected it.

    " No wonder, I can feel the traces left behind by a Master grade Rune master. Truly unfortunate that such a good thing got wasted by Lin Ying." Yang Shi sighed as he inspected the brush by his divine sense.

    Lin Ying couldn''t understand its value because he wasn''t able to use Soul qi. If this brush was in the hands of any Violet Pce Expansion Realm expert, they could easily see its value.

    " This brush has gotten old. Tch, I have to buy a new one." Lin Ying grumbled.

    Yang Shi was startled as he asked, " Why so?"

    " The tip of the brush isn''t absorbing the Perception Stone ink properly. It''s easier to make mistakes in this way."

    " I got this from an old cultivator at a cheap price. It has been two years since I am using it."

    " Well, I guess, I need to go to the Hundred Gold Pavilion and see if there are any better ones." Lin Ying sighed.

    Yang Shi''s eyes glimmered as he saw his chance. " I need to control my expression." He thought inwardly.

    " Mister Lin, A friend of mine studies a little about the art of Runes. Currently, he is running tight on budget and he wanted a Talisman brush."

    " I wonder if you can sell this brush to me?" Yang Shi asked slowly.

    " Sell? Now?"

    Lin Ying''s expression became skeptical. Although he did say that he wanted a new Talisman brush, he didn''t mean that he is going to sell this one.

    " Don''t be hasty, Mr. Lin. Listen to my proposal first. You know, those who follow the supplementary paths, their martial strength fall behind, right?" Yang Shi asked. Lin Ying nodded as it was true.

    Those who are devoted in their supplementary professions, although they managed to create extraordinary things, their cultivation alsogs behind.

    Since they are focusing on their arts, they barely have time to cultivate or practice battle techniques.

    Dual cultivating both the cultivation path and the supplementary path is very difficult.

    " How about it? A middle tier Spirit grade weapon for this Talisman brush?" Yang Shi asked.

    " A middle tier Spirit grade weapon?" Lin Ying was startled as his breath became rushed.

    Although he was an Adept Rune master, his cultivation was barely at the fifth stage of the Primordial Spirit realm.

    Getting such a weapon is very beneficial for his protection. But he still calcted in his mind.

    " Two, I need two of them." Lin Ying spoke.

    " Nope, I can''t give you more than one. I don''t have a warehouse of weapons." Yang Shi shook his head.

    A middle tier Spirit grade weapon is nothing for Yang Shi, yet he couldn''t allow Lin Ying to see his wealth.

    " Ugh, Fine. But let me see the weapon first." Lin Ying nodded as he asked.

    Yang Shi was constantly practicing his forging techniques, so he had a considerable amount of middle tier and high tier Spirit grade weapons. He produced a short sword and presented it to Lin Ying.

    " Fine weapon." Lin Ying eximed as he examined the weapon. He swung it a few times to test.

    " This will be ok. Moreover, I won''t take the fees of the Fire rune formation from you." Lin Ying said happily and handed the Talisman brush to Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi also smiled, but he was relieved in his heart.

    " From now, I can also try to inscribe runes, hehe."

 Chapter 247: Inscribing Runes

    Chapter 247: Inscribing Runes

    Yang Shi held the brush as he channeled his soul qi in the brush. The brush suddenly started to glow with a dim light.

    The lion''s carving seems to havee alive as it became life like.

    " Using Perception stone to use this brush is truly a waste. But since it''s in my hands, I will fully utilize it."

    Yang Shi looked at the firece where Lin Ying had inscribed his rune formation.

    A spike of metal qi appeared on his fingertip as he destroyed the rune formations.

    After that, he used his soul qi as he began inscribing the Burning Petals Rune formation.

    His hands moved nimbly as runes after runes were drawn over the firece.

    " First, Let''s draw seven basic Fire runes." Yang Shi had practiced the inscription of basic Fire runes before, so this time, he quickly inscribed them.

    Like a flower opening its petal, seven runes were drawn circrly. After that Yang Shi started to inscribe the rank one Burning rune in the middle.

    As per the rankings of Rune masters, Apprentice grade can only draw Basic runes of five elements, with errors, of course.

    Adept rankers can inscribe various sorts of Basic runes with rank one runes. The master rank cultivator can inscribe rank one rune without errors along with most rank two runes.

    The Burning Petals Rune formation was an ordinary rune formation that was used in most noble households.

    It may be hard for an Apprentice Rune master to inscribe one, but an Adept rank can aplish it with much ease.

    After Yang Shi had inscribed seven runes, he took a deep breath as he was about the draw the rank one rune.

    " Tch, after drawing out seven Basic runes, my soul qi is almost depleted by half. Even Lin Ying can draw this in one go." Yang Shi sighed as hemented for his damaged soul.

    But he couldn''t back down. A determined look appeared in his eyes as his Celestial View activated.

    Yang Shi''s Azure Lotus primordial spirit slowly appeared behind him as he calmed his mind.

    " Now, I need to connect all seven by Rune Binding Spirit Technique." Yang Shi mumbled.

    The Rune Binding Spirit Technique is an exceptional method of rune inscription.

    With help of this method, one can inscribe Connection Rune Chains, which can connect multiple runes.

    Moreover, connecting the runes, the overall power of the rune formation also increases by two folds.

    Yang Shi quickly inscribed the runic chains as the seven Basic runes connected.

    And all of them were connected with the center ce as well. The center ce was reserved for the rank one Burning rune.

    The soul qi poured in the talisman brush as Yang Shi started to inscribe the Burning rune.

    The rank one rune was at least two times moreplicated than Basic runes.

    Yang Shi''s forehead was covered with sweat, but each of his stoke was inscribed carefully. He could feel his soul qi was diminishing rapidly, yet he didn''t care about that.

    At that moment, he was fully engrossed in rune inscription. His soul qi was almost finished, but Yang Shi hardened his will.

    " No, I can''t fail now. Just a bit, just a little bit!"

    Yang Shi gritted his teeth as he persisted. The familiar dizziness already started to affect his vision but he didn''t stop.

    Finally, he made a clear stroke as he suddenly slumped on the ground. Yang Shi clenched his head as his vision red.

    He held the wall as he slowly stood up, but he hurried to look at his rune formations.

    With a tap of his finger, spiritual qi was poured into the rune formation. The rune formation buzzed as the runes lit up.

    Sparks flickered as lumps of me appeared. Looking at the zing mes Yang Shi smiled in relief.

    " Sess." Yang Shi clenched his fist. The runes looked more dazzling than the runes inscribed by Lin Ying.

    Yang Shi adjusted his spiritual qi, and he found that controlling the me intensity is much smoother than he expected.

    " Perfect like your usual gas stove." Yang Shi nodded with satisfaction. " There are still Freezing Rune formation and Wind Breeze Rune formations."

    " But I need to rest first, My soul qi is fully depleted." Yang Shi sighed. He went upstairs and arrived on the third floor.

    Jin Yu was sitting on a chair while Bai Ruxue already started cooking in the kitchen.

    Although Yang Shi asked the decorators of Hundred Gold Pavilion to renovate two floors, he didn''t see them till now.

    The third floor was supposed to be where they would live. The floor was reced with costly wooden nks and the wooden pirs were hand carved. The chairs, tables were made from high quality wood.

    The bed was big enough for five to six people.

    Everything was designed aesthetically beautifully. Yang Shi nodded as he felt every coin was spent urately.

    " Mm, This ce looks pretty good. Ruxue, what you say?" Yang Shi asked Bai Ruxue.

    " Indeed, this ce is lovely." Bai Ruxue smiled.

    " Wow, they even filled the shelves with vegetables and rice." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Is the food is ready yet? I am hungry!" Jin Yu pouted as she asked.

    " It''s ready, Little sister Jin. Come and take your seat." Bai Ruxueughed as she called Jin Yu.

    Looking at the delicious dishes in front of her, Jin Yu jumped like a hungry wolf. Yang Shi also hurried as he didn''t want Jin Yu to eat all the food.

    " Ruxue, Listen to me. From tomorrow, I am thinking to start my own weapon shop."

    "Moreover, I will also sell elixirs. The shop will be on the second floor, so it won''t disturb our private life. What do you say?" Yang Shi spoke as he put down his chopsticks.

    " I don''t have any opinion. I will abide what Young master will say. But I think opening a weapon hop here will be profitable." Bai Ruxue nodded.

    " That''s good. Let''s think of a name. Have any suggestions?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Domineering Sword Shop?" Jin Yu said.

    " No, it''s too shy." Bai Ruxue shook her head.

    " How about Blood Iron Hall?" Yang Shi suggested.

    " The name sounds kind of bizarre." Jin Yu refused.

    " True Treasure Pavilion?" Bai Ruxue spoke after much pondering. " Since You master will soon sell his True grade weapon, the name will be appropriate."

    " True Treasure Pavilion? It sounds nice." Jin Yu nodded.

    " It''s decided. True Treasure Pavilion will be the name of our shop." Yang Shi agreed.

    Yang Shi felt he desperately need spirit stone as the value of gold was lessening. Moreover, he still had to craft a True grade weapon yet.

    " I have twelve Quasi True grade weapons, twenty high tier Spirit grade weapons, and thirty middle tier ones. I guess it will be enough for opening." Yang Shi rubbed his palms.

    " I have been neglecting my cultivation for a while. Time to condense my Wood Spirit Seal." Yang Shi went to his forging room as he sat cross legged.

    A green orb appeared in Yang Shi''s hands as he looked at it carefully. It was precisely the Heart of Forest which he got from the auction.

    A crimson ring appeared behind him as he activated his Crimson Lily primordial spirit.

 Chapter 248: Crown Of Longevity

    Chapter 248: Crown Of Longevity

    With the high rate of absorption from the crimson ring, arge amount of Wood qi gushed into the dantian of Yang Shi as it was poured on his Wood Spirit Seal.

    The Wood Spirit Seal was already filled by oneyer, so Yang Shi needed to fill otheryers to refine his Embryonic Wood Spirit Body.

    The Heart of Forest buzzed as its abundant Wood qi was devoured by Yang Shi. The Wood Spirit Seal inside his dantian was beaming with green light.

    Yang Shi could feel his vitality increasing and making him feel refreshed.

    " Even if I don''t cultivate, Just by the Wood Spirit Seal, I can easily live up to three hundred years." Yang Shi couldn''t help but think.

    Wood qi is known to increase lifespan and longevity, but it''s also intricate to absorb wood qi. Most of the time wood qi was condensed into pills to refine quickly. Those pills are called lifespan expanding pills.

    Such pills can extend someone''s lifespan by a certain amount. Those pills are very high in demand as many old cultivators who are nearing their old age need them to expand their lifespan.

    Cultivation itself is a path going against heaven''s will. The reason why people pursue higher cultivation stage is to get limitless strength and eternal longevity.

    Almost one day passed while Yang Shi was absorbing the Heart of Forest. The Heart of Forest now looked dim as Yang Shi absorbed almost all of its Wood qi.

    His Wood Spirit Seal''s threeyers were filled with Wood qi as it buzzed. Yang Shi could feel the Wood qi coursing in his meridians.

    As his Embryonic Wood Spirit Seal was taking ce, his Gold Devil Seal buzzed a Metal qi erupted from it. Both qi erupted with strength as they shed with each other.

    Yang Shi expected it but he was already prepared.

    " Everything came from a single point, but nothing can be created without duality."

    " Metal is more powerful than Wood, but excess Wood can dull the Metal."

    " A metal axe can easily chop down trees, yet the trees also dull the axe." Yang Shi activated his Origin Chaos Internal Energy art.

    Yang Shi''s internal energy rolled as it contained the Metal qi and Wood qi before they could sh. Both are opposing elements, yet they can also stay together.

    Yang Shi''s internal energy was called Chaos energy, so it contains all five elemental energy. That is the reason why Yang Shi had an affinity toward all five elements.

    The Heart of Forest turned grey as cracks appeared on its surface. Thest bit of Wood qi was fully sucked by Yang Shi.

    " The Chaos Fiend Tyrant Body art is truly an Immortal technique. The Gold Devil Embryonic seal gave me the Gold Devil Armor skill. And now this"

    " Crown of Longevity, Appear!" Yang Shi willed as he activated the skill of Wood Spirit Seal. The Wood qi in his dantian stirred as an illusory crown appeared over his head.

    The crown was oozing with green light as its body looked like made from twisted tree roots.

    Yang Shi felt arge amount of Wood qi rumbling in his body as his life force was much more vigorous than before.

    Yang Shi took out a dagger and shed his palm. He applied quite an amount of force so the wound was rtively bigger.

    Blood flowed from the wound, but Yang Shi just silently focused on his Crow of Longevity. Suddenly, the Crown of Longevity shed with gentle green light as it enveloped the wound.

    The wound started to recover at the speed visible to the naked eye. Just in a few breaths of time, The wound was filled and not even a scar remained.

    " The greatest use of Wood qi is its ability to heal. Crown of Longevity transforms the Wood qi into my life force.

    " So unless I am instakilled, I can recover from most serious wounds." Yang Shi clicked his tongue.

    The ability of regeneration is pretty wicked. It will almost make an undying monster.

    " I can also utilize my Wood qi to heal others. This is a great support ability. Moreover, my affinity towards nts and herbs will increase many folds."

    Yang Shi finally stretched his arms and stopped cultivating. He got up as he went out of his room.

    It was already morning as he spent one whole day inside his forging room.

    " Young master, You are out." Bai Ruxue eximed, " Look, I have carved this."

    Bai Ruxue showed Yang Shi a nk of wood. " True Treasure Pavilion" was written in a calligraphic style on the board.

    " I imbued my Jade Yin qi as I carved this wood, so there is a tint of mystical luster on the words." Bai Ruxue spoke.

    " Wow, Ruxue, This looks so beautiful." Yang Shi''s mood became happy as he saw the wooden board.

    He went outside of the second floor and fixed it there. It was fixed above the signboard of Clear Sky Restaurant.

    Yang Shi went to the second floor and arranged chairs and tables. After that, he took out weapons from his spatial ring and began to decorate the entire floor.

    Swords, Sabers, Spears, daggers, all of them were either at middle tier or high tier Spirit grade treasures. He arranged them in such a way that it will please the eyes of customers.

    " And one quasi True rank weapon behind the reception counter. That will be enough." Yang Shi adjusted everything.

    " Bai Ruxue, you want to work as a receptionist?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Hmm, I guess so." Bai Ruxue nodded.

    " I know it will hinder your focus in cultivation, are you sure?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " Don''t worry, Young master. My cultivation practice won''t be disrupted by this." Bai Ruxue hurriedly said.

    " Haha, Then it''s fine." Yang Shi nodded.

    Yang Shi went back to the first floor. But then, he saw a strange thing there. Wen Ran was moving like flitting butterfly as he was mumbling happily.

    " Damn, That Lin Ying did excellent work this time. The fire rune formation is perfectly working as a cooking stove." He said happily to the middle aged man.

    " Too bad that he didn''t fix the Freezing runes and Wind breeze runes." The middle aged Uncle Han sighed.

    " Eh? So that stove is working properly, eh?" Yang Shi blurted out.

    Wen Ran and Uncle Han noticed Yang Shi. Wen Ran snorted as he saw Yang Shi. Uncle Han smiled as he said, " Indeed, It is working fine."

    " Then let''s finish the Freezing rune formation and Wind Breeze formation." Yang Shi spoke as he strode to the kitchen.

    " What?!" Both Uncle Han and Wen Ran blurted in confusion.

    " What? You think it was Lin Ying who fixed the firece?" Yang Shi shrugged.

    Since his soul qi was recoveredpletely, he can now inscribe the other two runes in the kitchen. The talisman brush appeared in his hands as he started the inscription.

    He first tested some rune inscriptions separately. Only after then, he begin inscribing the Freezing Rune.

    Freezing rune, like its name implied, contains Water and Ice attributes. The Freezing rune formation is abination of basic water runes with rank one ice runes.

    Yang Shi activated his Celestial View and Azure Lotus primordial spirit at the same time.. After that, he started the inscription.

 Chapter 249: Usage Of Internal Energy

    Chapter 249: Usage Of Internal Energy

    It was his first time inscribing the Freezing rune formation, so Yang Shi didn''t dare to be negligent. A small error and all of his effort and soul qi will be wasted.

    His hands weren''t fast at all. In fact, they were moving very slow.

    The reason Yang Shi was able to inscribe the Burning Petal Rune formation was that he had seen Lin Ying inscribing it before he did.

    But for the Freezing rune formation, he only has theoretical knowledge. So each rune he is inscribing was drawn with utmost focus.

    The Freezing rune formation was different from the Burning Petals rune formation. The properties of elements, the runic diagrams, all are different.

    After one hour passed, Yang Shi''s soul qi was almost depleted. But he finished the Freezing rune formation before the soul qi finishedpletely.

    " I can feel that my attainment in the art of Rune inscription has made significant progress. I will reach the Master grade in a few weeks. But my soul qi is bing a hindrance." Yang Shi frowned.

    " Check this Freezing rune and see if it is working properly. As for the Wind Breeze Rune, you need to wait for a while." Yang Shi spoke as he left.

    Wen Ran was still in a daze as he saw Yang Shi inscribing the rune formation. He hurriedly went there and activated the freezing rune formation.

    *KRRRRRRRR*

    The runes buzzed as white mist appeared. The runes lighted with pale blue light as the air around it suddenly turned cold.

    He put a pot full of water on the Freezing rune and saw the water slowly turning cold and ayer of ice appearing on the surface.

    " Yes! The Freezing rune is working fine!" Wen Ran eximed in his heart. He looked at the departing figure of Yang Shi as fell into deep thought.

    " Little Wen, is everything alright?" Uncle Han asked hastily.

    " Yes, everything is fine. But I am thinking about some other things." Wen Ran sighed. " Looking at Yang Shi, I feel he is so much talent."

    " This restaurant was the pride of our Wen family, yet it was ruined by my hands."

    " What right I have t stay here?" Wen Ran sighed. " I should sell this ce to him." He spoke in a low voice.

    " Little Wen, Are you sure?" Uncle Han''s tone turned serious.

    " This restaurant was once the pride of the Wen family. Even the previous king of Azure Feather Ancient kingdom and Sect maters from the various sects used toe here."

    " You are the owner of this ce now. It''s on you to decide the fate of this ce. But if you ask me" Uncle Han''s voice turned softer, " I wish if you could regain its fallen glory."

    " Uncle Han" Wen Ran didn''t say anything as he remained silent. He looked at the firece with a distant gaze.

    Suddenly, he clenched his fist as he took out an iron wok. He put it on the stove as he activated the Burning Petals rune formation. The mes zed as Wen Ren poured oil in the wok.

    " I still have some time. Till thest moment, I won''t give up." Wen Renughed as he started cooking.

    " Hahaha, Little Wen, don''t worry. I will support you no matter what you decide. Since you have decided to continue, I will also help you wholeheartedly." Uncle Han nodded.

    " This kid still has some potential." Yang Shi murmured.

    He didn''t leave immediately, but stayed behind the wall and heard their takings. Yang Shi was prepared to give Wen Ran a chance, but he had to see his attitude first.

    Wen Ran''s perseverance and determination had won the approval of Yang Shi. He decided to talk with himter.

    " Hmm, The store is already established. I should start the preparation for forging a True grade weapon." Yang Shi mumbled.

    " Brother Yang, are you still here?" Jin Yu came down from the stair as he asked Yang Shi.

    " Yes, What happened?" Yang Shi answered.

    " I feel I haven''t absorbed demonic qi for a while. Can you gather some cultivation material for me?" She spoke in a low voice.

    " Ah, I understand." Yang Shi nodded.

    Jin Yu''s cultivation method was very different from humans. She needs to consume spiritual herbs and demonic qi to cultivate.

    " This damned curse, even my bloodline power can''t suppress it. Otherwise, I would have reached the peak of Ancient Beast rank." Jin Yu grumbled.

    " Indeed." Yang Shi nodded as Jin Yu had the bloodline of the Golden Roc n, which is a divine beast species.

    " Wait, Bloodline" Yang Shi felt a jolt in his head as he suddenly realized something.

    " Jin Yu, I suddenly thought of something. Didn''t you say my Internal energy has some sort of mysterious property?" He asked carefully.

    " Uhh, Yes? Your internal energy is very mysterious. It has a strong refining power. My curse was mostly eroded by the energy of yours."

    " Moreover, It can also refine bloodline and make it pure. Xiao Hei was the best example. His bloodline was purified because you used the internal energy." She spoke.

    " Bloodline purification! Indeed, Why didn''t I think of it before?!" Yang Shi almost pped himself as he thought.

    He always tried to find the usage of Internal Energy, yet he almost neglected this huge opportunity. Bloodline was one of the most important factors which decided a person''s talent.

    The higher cultivation of the ancestors, powerful the bloodline descendants get. With a superior bloodline, one can easily surpass their peers by a great margin.

    But with such bloodlines, many problemse. One of the most serious problems is bloodline dilution. After many generations, the bloodline of their ancestors starts to dilute.

    If not given proper care, after a time the bloodline power diminishes greatly. They need to find various methods like Bloodline Refining Pill or treasures which can purify their blood and awake their ancestor''s bloodline again.

    " But those things are just too rare and precious. Unless one reaches a certain cultivation stage, they can''t purify their bloodline."

    " This is the reason why many great ns and demon beasts ceased to exist." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    " But with my Internal Energy, I can easily awake their bloodline. If I make this a business" Yang Shi''s eyes started to gleam.

    " Brother Yang, are you okay?" Jin Yu took a step back as she asked in a weird tone. The expression Yang Shi was giving was very creepy for her.

    " HAHAHA." Yang Shi wasughing loudly in his heart. " Ahaha, Jin Yu, you solved such a big problem of mine." Yang Shi patted her head.

    " Come, I will give you a treat today." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Really?" Jin Yu''s eyes started to shine.

    " I have heard that the medicine store here sells Beast Feeding Pills. Let''s check them." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " I have heard about them. Apparently, those are made to enhance the strength of demonic beasts." Jin Yu nodded.

    Both of them walked out as the first went to the True Alchemy Hall

 Chapter 250: Trouble At Door

    Chapter 250: Trouble At Door

    True Alchemy Pavilion was a giant hub for alchemists. All sorts of herbs and pills are avable there. It was arge building with a bustling poption. Yang Shi and Jin Yu arrived there.

    " Wee guests, What can I help you?" A beautiful girl came as she asked politely.

    " Do you have Beast Feeding Pills?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Guest is lucky. Our alchemists recently concocted a batch of Beast Feeding Pills. Pleasee with me." The girl nodded as she asked Yang Shi to follow her.

    " A bottle containing twelve pills costs three hundred thousand gold coins. Each pill is middle tier rank two pills." Thedy spoke.

    " Then give me two bottles please." Yang Shi nodded. Beast Feeding Pills are generally used by beast tamers or those who have Demonic beastpanions.

    These pills can easily fill therge stomach of beasts and also increase their cultivation. Yang Shi bought them for Jin Yu and Xiao Hei.

    He quickly bought two bottles of pills. Jin Yu quickly snatched a bottle and popped a pill in her mouth.

    " Eh, Little Sister, these pills might be harmful to you." Thedy was astonished as she saw Jin Yu eating a Beast Feeding Pill.

    " Ahaha, She is just a bit unruly." Yang Shi sweated as he spoke.

    He certainly can''t say that Jin Yu is a demonic beast in human form. It will create a huge ruckus in the whole kingdom and even the king of Azure Feather may appear.

    " Uhh, It tastes good." Jin Yu nodded in approval.

    " Tastes good?" Thedy almost fainted.

    This pill was supposed to feed the demonic beast, but this girl here saying it tastes good?

    " Could it be" Thedy thought of something but shook her head in denial.

    " Ahem, Miss I wonder if your store has Soul Nourishing Pill or something like that?" Yang Shi hastily asked. He couldn''t let thedy think more of Jin Yu''s matter.

    " Soul Nourishing Pill?" Thedy was startled as she heard Yang Shi. " No, Young noble. Soul Nourishing Pills too precious."

    " We currently don''t have them. However, if you get the ingredients, you can request someone to concoct it." Thedy spoke.

    " Is it so? Soul Nourishing Pill is a high ss rank three pills. Is there something with a simr effect?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " Hmm, I think Mind Calming Pill can consider as a simr pill. It is a rank two pill which is avable here." Thedy thought as she spoke.

    " Give me a bottle of that." Yang Shi thought and said.

    " Understood." Thedy smiled happily.

    She could tell that Yang Shi is pretty loaded. She hoped Yang Shi would spend more, so she can also get somemission.

    " Young Noble, your total price will be four hundred thousand gold coins." Thedy nodded.

    Yang Shi didn''t mind as he paid the money. Four hundred thousand gold coins is a trifling sum for him.

    " I wonder if the Mind Calming Pill will have any effect on me." Yang Shi sighed. " Only if I have Soul Nourishing Grass."

    " But I can''t possibly go back to Deep Sky Forest and search for Soul Nourishing Grass again."

    " Are you concerned about your damaged soul? Why don''t you find a soul cultivation technique?" Jin Yu asked.

    " No, even soul cultivation techniques aren''t an option for me. My soul is damaged from the roots."

    " So, without enough soul qi, cultivating soul techniques will be useless." Yang Shiughed bitterly.

    As they wereing back, Yang Shi went to another store to buy some Talisman Papers and Perception Stone.

    " I should practice the talisman inscription before I start forging True grade weapons." Yang Shi probed.

    As they left the store, they roamed around the market for a while and returned. As they were returning, a white cloaked person looked at Yang Shi with a malicious gaze.

    " Hmm?"

    Yang Shi suddenly felt someone was spying on him. He looked around, but among the crowd, it was almost impossible to notice.

    " Maybe it''s my misconception." Yang Shi mumbled as he didn''t mind much.

    The white cloaked person looked in Yang Shi''s direction as he hastily left.

    Yang Shi and Jin Yu finally came back to their house as Yang Shi sat to cultivate. He popped three Mind Calming Pills in his mouth as he started to refine them.

    He could feel his soul trembling slightly as the medicinal energy enveloped it. After an hour he opened his eyes in frustration.

    " I can feel my soul has recovered a bit, but it is only a small part. At this rate, I need to eat at least a few hundred Mind Calming pills to recover back.

    " It would be still easy if the matter could be solved in that way. But after some time, the pills will be ineffective on my soul."

    Yang Shi sighed as he got up. Today was the first day of his store, so he was sure that there won''t be any customersing here.

    Yang Shi took out a talisman paper and a bottle of demonic beast blood. After mixing a few herbs in it, the mixture became dark.

    Yang Shi didn''t add the Perception Stone as he could use soul qi.

    Yang Shi dipped the brush in the ink as he started to draw a basic Torch talisman. It is one of the basic rank talismans and its usage is also simple.

    After activation, it will burst into a bright me which can illuminate even the darkest cave. It doesn''t have any attacking defensive property, so its value is very low.

    But Yang Shi was a novice in talisman making, so he needed to start from scratch. He used his soul qi carefully as he continued his drawing. After half an hour, he stopped as he took the piece of paper.

    He infused the spiritual qi into it as it suddenly turn into a ball of mes. However, it didn''t emit any heat, only ming radiance.

    " Well, With my current amount of soul qi, I can cast two basic rank talismans in one go." Yang Shi pondered. But then, he heard amotion on the down floor as he frowned.

    " What''s happening?" Yang Shi got up as he went down. Bai Ruxue also startled and followed Yang Shi.

    " Hah, to think he lives in this torn down ce. Old man, hurry and call that bastard!" A young man shouted as he pointed his sword at Uncle Han.

    " You!! Aren''t you disciples of the Golden Sun Sect? Why are you attacking this ce?" Wen Ran was enraged as he asked.

    " Little Wen, calm down. Guests, It seems you have some misunderstanding." Uncle Han tried to appease the disciples. There are five of them, and he could feel that their cultivation is high.

    " Don''t try to act innocent. Where is the young man who has ck hair and a bizarre purple eye?" A young man asked angrily.

    " Are you looking for me?"

    Yang Shi asked calmly as he came down from the stairs. He understood why the Golden Sun Sect disciples are here.

    " Brother Liao, He is that bastard who injured brother Cao." A disciple pointed at Yang Shi as he shouted.

    " Oh, so you are the one, huh? Punk, you dare to mess with the Golden Sun Sect?" Liao Xin snorted as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " Only seventhyer of Primordial Spirit and dare to brag in front of me?" Yang Shiughed.

    He jumped andnded near Uncle Han. Yang Shi neared his mouth toward Uncle Han''s ear as he whispered something.

    Uncle Han''s expression turned weird as he heard Yang Shi.

    " Keep this storage pouch and do as I say."

    Yang Shi nodded. Uncle Han sighed as he turned back and entered the kitchen.

    " Hahaha, Are you calling for reinforcement? No matter what, you won''t able to escape today." Liao Xinughed coldly.

    But before he could react, a kicknded on his chest.

 Chapter 251: One After Another

    Chapter 251: One After Another

    Liao Xin felt his vision blurred for a moment as he was sent flying. The front door broke apart as he smashed on the ground.

    " Brother Liao?!!" The disciples of the Golden Sun Sect almost choked on their breaths as they saw the sudden development of things.

    Liao Xin''s face was covered with dust as he hurriedly got up, but he could see the foot imprint of Yang Shi on his abdomen.

    What''s even more humiliating, there was already a huge crowd outside of the Floating Cloud Restaurant. Most of them were taking delight from Liao Xin''s misery. How could he, a Core disciple of the Golden Sun Sect, take this humiliation?

    " Bastard! You dare to sneak attack me?!'' Liao Xin snarled as he shouted in rage. From his thinking, Yang Shi was only able to hit him because he attacked him unexpectedly.

    " That''s right. He attacked Brother Liao with underhanded methods."

    " Indeed. Brother Liao even defeated some Eighth stage cultivators. This boy is a goner for sure." A Golden Sun Sect disciple mocked.

    " Sneak attack eh?" Yang Shi shook his head. His figure suddenly vanished from his spot and suddenly appeared in front of Liao Xin. His hands moved like an agile snake as he pped the face of Liao Xin.

    *PAA*

    A crisp pping sound silenced the atmosphere as Liao Xin''s face was again smashed in the ground. Yang Shi hopped and returned to his original position.

    After his body had undergone the baptism of Wood qi, his physique was enhanced by another level.

    Although condensing the Wood Spirit Seal didn''t increase his attack or defense, it increased his physical sticity.

    Yang Shi could feel that his flesh and blood were much more vigorous and his body was more agile. That was the reason he could easily p Liao Xin.

    This time, the disciples of the Golden Sun Sect didn''t dare to open their mouths again. They felt their eyes were ying tricks on them. Yang Shi''s speed was so fast that they couldn''t even see his afterimage.

    " BASTARD! DIEE!"

    Liao Xin bellowed as mes erupted from his body. A bright sword appeared in his hand as he charged at Yang Shi. His speed suddenly increased like a shooting arrow.

    " Shining Steps, Radiant Stab!" The sword of Liao Xin emitted sharps says as lights gathered on its tip. The sword looked extremely powerful, However, Yang Shi only smiled in disdain.

    " Gold Devil Armor, Crown of Longevity!" Yang Shi silently chanted. A golden and a bright green ray shed on his body as he didn''t dodge Liao Xin''s attack.

    " He is not dodging it? What a madman." Someone eximed.

    " Hehe, it seems he already given up." A Golden Sun Sect disciple snickered.

    Liao Xin alsoughed coldly in his heart as he increased his speed. Yang Shi only smiled as suddenly, he used his left arm to deflect the iing sword attack.

    Unexpectedly, the moment the Radiance Stab touched Yang Shi''s palm, a ripple of golden light appeared on his body as the attack blocked for a moment. However, it didn''t stop as it cut through his left arm.

    Liao Xinughed as he felt the victory was within his grasp/ Suddenly, at that moment, Yang Shi whispered, " Earthquake Fist!"

    His right arm blurred as three booming sounds exploded in the air. Before anyone could react, they could see a ck blur of light flying backward like a lightning.

    " Wh-what happened?" The crowd was stunned as they couldn''t digest the development, The dust settled as everyone could see Liao Xin lying a dozen of meters away like a dead log.

    His body was strangely curved as he was making a gurgling sound. Blood and foam flowed out from his mouth, making the Golden Sun Sect disciples enraged.

    " Interesting, such a fast moving fist technique!" An elder eximed. The crowd suddenly looked at that elder.

    " Eh? Isn''t it is Elder Cheng of Great Pill Hall?" A person recognized as he eximed. Many people looked at Elder Cheng. He was a famous Master grade alchemist of Great Pill Hall.

    " Elder Cheng, can you exin how did he defeat Liao Xin in such a short amount of time?" Someone asked curiously.

    " That youngster''s punch was very fast, yet it carried a heavy momentum. I think he executed a fist technique three times continuously. Each of his punches was enough to break Liao Xin''s bones." Hemented.

    Blood dripped from the left arm of Yang Shi as there was arge cut made by the sword of Liao Xin. Although his Gold Devil Armor blocked almost ny percent of the power, the remaining was enough to wound Yang Shi, albeit slightly.

    But another reason was that Yang Shi deliberately lowered the power of the Gold Devil Armor.

    Yang Shi didn''t care about his wound as the Crown of Longevity already started his work.

    " Look! His wound is healing?!" Someone noticed the change in Yang Shi as he shouted. The burst of green light was healing Yang Shi''s wound at a visible rate.

    Elder Cheng''s eyes narrowed as he felt astonishment in his heart. He couldn''t be more familiar with the green light, it was the Wood qi!

    " Such maniption of Wood qi! It''s working the same as a rank two healing pill." Elder Cheng mumbled. " He must have practiced some Wood attribute technique." He thought inwardly.

    " Brother Liao!" Two disciples ran to help Liao Xin, but he already fainted. Although the disciples of the Golden Sun sect felt rage, they didn''t dare to fight Yang Shi.

    " Hmph! To think someone dared to beat Liao Xin to this extent. Punk, I admit your guts." A burst of coldughter rang as another youth jumped in front of Yang Shi.

    " Brother Cao Jinhua! He is finally here!" A Golden Sun Sect disciple shouted in excitement.

    " Haha! Brother Cao is ranked eleventh in our sect''s power ranking list. His cultivation already reached the peak of the Eighth stage." Another disciple said in an excited voice.

    " Hmph! You dared to beat my junior brotherst time and now even injured Liao Xin. Although you have some strength, you are acting way too arrogantly." Cao Jinhua spoke in a cold voice.

    Yang Shi remembered that he had beaten quite some Golden Sun Sect''s disciples a few days before, but he didn''t bother to remember their name.

    It seems he had attracted the attention of a Core disciple of the Golden Sun Sect.

    " Break your leg and kowtow before me. Otherwise, I will kill you." Cao Jinhua spoke.

    " Kill me? Say only if you got the strength to do so." Yang Shiughed mildly.

    " Hah stupid fool. Just because you have defeated Liao Xin, you think you are some expert? Watch this1" Cao Jinhuaughed as his eyes narrowed.

    " Shining Step!" The body of Cao Jinhua shed as he appeared near Yang Shi. He used the same technique as Liao Xin, but the difference was vast.

    Each of his steps emitted dazzling sun rays, which can blind its opponents.

    "Minor Completion! Cao Jinhua reached the Advancepletion stage of Shining Steps!" The crowd was surprised.

    For general understanding, each skill has four stages, Initial Completion, Minor Completion, Advance Completion, and Grand Completion. Each was more difficult to achieve than the previous ones.

    " The Shining Step is a Mystic rank technique. To think Cao Jinhua already reached the Minor Completion stage in the age of twenty six." A person spoke.

    Cao Jinhua''s sword sheathed as it already reached Yang Shi''s neck. Yang Shi activated his Soaring Eagle Immortal Steps. Cao Jinhua''s sword shed in empty air as Yang Shi''s figure easily dodged it.

    " Hmph, Let''s see how many times you can dodge it." Cao Jinhua snorted as he followed after Yang Shi. His body was shining with radiance as the whole field shed with bright rays. However, Yang Shi dodged all of it easily.

    " Six Radiance Sword Fall!" Cao Jinhua became angry and used his skill.

 Chapter 252: Miserable Golden Sun Sect Disciples

    Chapter 252: Miserable Golden Sun Sect Disciples

    Cao Jinhua shed his sword as the spiritual qi swirled around him like tidal waves. The sword image multiplied as six simr swords appeared out of thin air. Each sword was radiating terrifying light as they charged at Yang Shi.

    All of them looked real, no one could tell which was the real sword. They flew straight at Yang Shi. Yang Shi''s body blinked as he dodged them, but the sword swirled as they continued attacking him.

    " Stop evading, you slithering beast!" Cao Jinhua''s sword shed became faster. Yang Shi finally stopped as his saber appeared in his hands.

    " Gold Split! ming sh!" Yang Shi swung his sword as the saber cut me arcs and shed with Cao Jinhua''s six swords.

    The weapons shed with each other as Yang Shi crushed five sword images. He jumped as he shed at Cao Jinhua. Cao Jinhua raised his sword as he was forced backward.

    Yang Shi released his saber intent as his Heaven Cmity''s aura became fiercer. Jut with few casual swings, he forced Cao Jinhua to defend himself.

    " Radiance Sword! Six as One!" Cao Jinhua suddenly jumped sideways as the six sword imagesbined to form arge sword of light. The wind was cut as the sword shed at Yang Shi.

    " Tiger Descending from Mountain!"

    Yang Shi raised his saber as he did a forward stab. An image of a tiger materialized as it used its paws to sh against the bright sword.

    Cao Jinhua''s face turned solemn as he saw the attack of Yang Shi. His spiritual qi fully erupted as he fueled his attack.

    The sword turned brighter as it cut the tiger''s apparition. But before it was dissipated fully, its w still reached Cao Jinhua''s shoulder.

    Cao Jinhua whelped in pain as his shoulder was wounded by Yang Shi''s saber. Before he could counterattack, another of Yang Shi''s shes made him drop his weapon.

    The sword flung from his hands Cao Jinhua retreated several steps backward. His eyes burned with fury as he suddenly jumped forward.

    " Burning Palm Strike!"

    Cao Jinhua''s palm turned brighter as mes appeared on it. It looked like a giant palm of meing toward Yang Shi.

    " Competing mes with me? Hah!" Yang Shi activated his Great Yang Sr me Art as his spirit me bloomed on his hand.

    The Great Yang Sr me Art wasn''t merely a Heaven grade technique of fire maniption. It only has threeyers, but eachyer has five stages.

    The firstyer was me Absorption, the secondyer was me maniption and the thirdyer was Sr me Creation.

    Master Bao, who taught Yang Shi the Great Yang Sr me Art only reached the peak of the Secondyer as he only had iplete technique.

    But Yang Shi gained further knowledge from the stone tablet in the zing me Hall.

    With his newfoundprehension, Great Yang Sr me Art reached the Royal grade. There are many methods of me maniption in the technique, for the attack, defense, or other usages.

    When someone reached the secondyer, they can easily utilize the me controlling powers in the technique like Yang Shi''s condensation of me swords.

    " Taste my new technique- Skyfire Fist!"

    Yang Shi''s spirit me wrapped around Yang Shi''s fist as Yang Shi punched at Cao Jinhua''s Burning Palm Strike. A radiant palm and a Fist made of mes collided.

    Cao Jinhua''s eyes almost popped out as he saw Yang Shi''s attack. He could feel the power and momentum of that ming fist from far.

    Burning Palm Strike was a mystic grade technique that took him a year to master. But in front of Yang Shi''s Skyfire Fist, it''s likeparing the me of a candle in front of a forest fire.

    Skyfire Fist was a battle technique recorded in the Great Yang Sr me Art. With help of his grade three spirit me, Yang Shi can fully utilize its power.

    " Such a potent Spirit me! Is that kid is an alchemist?" The crowd was astonished.

    " No, rather than alchemy, it seems that young man is a cksmith." Elder Cheng could feel the intense Metal qi mixed in Yang Shi''s spirit me.

    He was also shocked as he could feel that Yang Shi''s spirit me is a grade three spirit me. Such spirit mes can''t be bought by money alone.

    Cao Jinhua could feel the heat waves crashing on his face as Yang Shi''s attack finally reached him.

    *BOOM*

    Cao Jinhua''s vision red as mes engulfed his body. He flew backward like a dart and crashed on a wall. The other Golden Sun Sect disciple couldn''t help but stun.

    " Damn it! Attack him together!" Looking at Yang Shi was distracted, a disciple yelled as dozens of them charged at Yang Shi.

    " Ruxue!" Yang Shi casually called Bai Ruxue.

    " As your wish, Young master." Bai Ruxue nodded. The disciples attacking Yang Shi could only see a jade green lightning as their body was shed by a sword.

    " AHHH!"

    " MY ARMS! GODDAMN!"

    Cries echoed as the disciple of the Golden Sun Sect fell on the ground. Blood flowed out from their body, but thankfully, they didn''t suffer any serious wounds.

    " Hiss! Who is thatdy?"

    " She is also a powerful cultivator. Her sword is so fast!"

    The crowd was engrossed in the fight between Yang Shi and Cao Jinhua, so they didn''t notice Bai Ruxue, who was standing at the doorstep. However, the moment she attacked, everyone focused on her.

    Bai Ruxue was holding a sword as it was stained with blood. However, her temperament was calm, like she just crushed some petty bugs.

    Cao Jinhua''s body was badly charred as he could hardly get up. Yang Shi shrugged as he plunged his saber on the ground.

    " Today is the first day of my shop, so I won''t be killing anyone. However, if someone wishes to go to heaven, feel free toe."

    " Now scram before I change my mind!" Yang Shi roared as he unleashed his ughter aura.

    The disciples of Golden Sun Sect trembled as they felt Yang Shi was some sort of primordial tiger, eyeing at its prey.

    Since they could no longer fight, they carried Liao Xin and Cao Jinhua as they ran.

    Yang Shi looked at the huge crowd as he smiled. He cupped his fist and bowed slightly, " This Yang Shi apologize for everyone for causing such ruckus. I have opened my cksmithing shop today, so I hope you will visit it."

    " Weapons, armors, cauldrons, anything forgeable, you can find it in our True Treasure Hall."

    " Everything is an affordable price, be it middle tier or high tier Spirit grade artifact or Quasi True grade." Yang Shi smiled mysteriously.

    The crowd was first uninterested in Yang Shi''s talk. But when he said Quasi True grade treasure, the crowd boiled in excitement.

    Unlike High tier Spirit grade weapon, Quasi True grade weapon was very hard to find. Unlike True grade weapons, which only Grandmaster rank cksmith can forge, Quasi True grade weapons can be made by Master rank cksmith.

    It was very difficult to upgrade the High tier Spirit grade to True grade as there is a good amount of chance for the weapon getting ruined.

    " Also, to celebrate, eating in Floating Cloud Restaurant will be free for today.." Yang Shi announced.

 Chapter 253: Grand Opening

    Chapter 253: Grand Opening

    Yang Shi needed publicity for his shop, but he was toozy to stand in the middle of the market and shout like a hawker. Fortunately, the bunch from the Golden Sun Sect made his work much easier.

    Uncle Han went outside to attract the crowd toward the True Treasure Hall. It wasn''t a difficult task as people always love to watch the misery of others.

    Without much effort, many people went to watch the fight between Yang Shi and Cao Jinhua.

    Moreover, Yang Shi also gives money to Uncle Han to purchase ingredients for cooking. Free food, even gods and devils were attracted by it. As he was promoting his shop, Yang Shi wanted to give people a good impression.

    " Wen Ran, I have given you an opportunity. As for utilizing it, It will depend on you." Yang Shi went inside as he patted on the shoulders Wen Ran.

    Wen Ran was still in a daze as he heard Yang Shi. He saw everything and he couldn''t help but feel jealous of Yang Shi''s strength.

    " Don''t worry, I have left some recipe notes in the kitchen. If you follow them strictly, cooking some good dishes won''t be hard." Yang Shi added.

    " Ruxue,e with me to the upstairs. Lot''s people will being to our shop today." Yang Shi spoke casually. " You did well today. Your swordsmanship has be better."

    " Hehe, Thanks for thepliment, Young master." Bai Ruxue smiled sweetly. Both of them went to the second floor to make some preparation.

    " Did you hear that? He said he even has Quasi True grade artifacts. Is he a Master grade forger?" A person asked in a low tone.

    " Master grade forger in such a young age? I doubt."

    " He must be the spokesperson of a hermit cksmith. You know, those old fellows rarelye out to the limelight."

    The crowd discussed. They were more interested in the free food of Floating Cloud Restaurant.

    Many old cultivators had witnessed both the rise and fall of Floating Cloud Restaurant, so they were also interested.

    " Will Floating Cloud Restaurant will rise after today?" An old man asked as he sighed. " Who knows." Hispanionughed.

    " Well, since they are giving free lunch, why don''t we taste some dishes?"

    " Heh, Let''s see if there are Quasi True grade artifacts there. Even if there wasn''t any, a little strolling won''t harm, eh?" A cultivator chuckled.

    Many people shared the same thought. It''s like visiting a newly opened ce. Even if there wasn''t anything to see, they might just stroll ande back.

    " Interesting, Quasi True grade artifacts, huh?" Elder Cheng muttered. He was interested as he heard Yang Shi saying that there are even cauldrons for sale.

    Cauldrons for alchemy is the same as the hammer for forging, both are irreceable in their field.

    Alchemists are dependent on cksmiths for cauldron and cksmith most needed medicinal pill. So it''s mutual cooperation between them.

    " Little Wen! Hurry! People are already started toe to our restaurant." Uncle Han said hurriedly as he saw Wen Ran was standing.

    " Eh? EH?!"

    Wen Ran panicked as his brain was still unable toprehend the situation.

    " JUST GO AND COOK!" Uncle Han roared as he pushed Wen Ran to the kitchen.

    Yang Shi was sitting on a chair as there were already customers who starteding.

    " The cost of middle tier spirit grade weapons ranged from 200,000 to 700,000 gold coins. High tier ones are all above one million." Yang Shi spoke.

    " High tier is above one million? Isn''t it''s too pricy? The ck Iron Store is selling one at 700,000 gold coins." A person frowned. The few others around him also nodded.

    " I guess you have a middle tier weapon, right? Can you please show me?" Yang Shi asked.

    The person nodded as he took out his short sword. It gleamed with silver light and it was a genuine spirit grade weapon.

    " This is a product of True Treasure Hall." Yang Shi also took out a sword which was a middle tier Spirit grade weapon.

    " Both are same tier weapon, but if you see, The quality of my weapon is way better than this one. You can test that for yourself." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Hey, Let me check!" Another cultivator volunteered. He swung the sword of Yang Shi as he tried its durability.

    " The metal is very flexible and the flow of spiritual qi is very smooth." The cultivatormented.

    " Moreover, some Crimson red steel was added while forging it, so it''s better for a fire attribute technique." Yang Shi added.

    " Elemental enchantment?" The people in the shop were astonished. When made with a special technique, a weapon can grant its user special attributes, like enhancement of Fier type of Water type attack.

    " This is normal. The High tier spirit grade weapon here can boost their corresponding elemental attack around 20%." Yang Shiughed.

    " What?!" The crowd was stupefied. " But of course, Those are custom made weapons. They will be more expensive than usual ones." Yang Shi added.

    " I need a high tier spirit grade sword."

    " I need a saber."

    " Do you have any bows?

    Yang Shi was overwhelmed by the crowd as they started to buy his weapons. Soon, all the middle tier weapons were sold and one third of high tier weapons were also gone.

    In just two hours, Yang Shi gained over twenty million gold coins. He was very satisfied with the response of the crowd.

    " Excuse me, Young man, is that a Quasi True Grade weapon besides your seat?" Suddenly, the crowd parted as Elder Cheng came in front of Yang Shi.

    " Elder''s eyes are very sharp. It was indeed, a Quasi True grade sword." Yang Shi gave a slightugh.

    There was a saber that was hung behind Yang Shi''s sitting ce. From its look, one could misunderstand it as a Spirit grade weapon. But Elder Cheng could clearly feel some anomaly within it.

    " Such a fine saber. I wonder how much it costs?" Elder Cheng asked.

    " Only two low grade spirit stones." Yang Shi smiled.

    " What?" Kid, Although Quasi True grade weapon is rare, two spirit stones are way too expensive." Elder Cheng shook his head.

    " Elder, First listen to me. This word is made from many precious ores. While wielding it, the user can control its weight as per their preference."

    " Moreover, Two drops of North Bronze Essence were added when it was being forged." Yang Shi spoke slowly. " As for North Bronze Essence, I don''t think I need to borate any further."

    " North Bronze Essence?! Are your it''s North Bronze Essence and not North Bronze Metal?" The expression of Elder Cheng finally changed.

    " It is indeed North Bronze Essence. Elder can check yourself." Yang Shi passed the saber to Elder Cheng.

    Elder Cheng was already at the Violet Pce Expansion Realm, although Yang Shi could see that he was struck in the first stage. Nheless, Elder Cheng can easily beat any Primordial Spirit Awakening Realm cultivator.

    " Indeed, there is a faint aura of North Bronze Essence." Elder Cheng nodded.

    " I can see that Elder is an alchemist. Would you like to have a Quai True Grade medicinal cauldron with a good amount of North Bronze Essence?" Yang Shi smiled cheekily.

    " What did you say?! Quasi True grade Cauldron!" Elder Cheng finally couldn''t hold back as he shouted.

    " Hehe, Esteemed elder, please calm down. Currently, we don''t have that, But if you like to have one, you can ce an order and deposit the materials."

    " We will give you a Quasi True grade medicinal cauldron in three days!" Yang Shiughed

 Chapter 254: Uprising Business

    Chapter 254: Uprising Business

    " In three days?" Elder Cheng''s face was ted.

    " If you are saying the truth, I will send some materials by evening." Elder Cheng nodded.

    " Elder, There are many designs of Medicinal Cauldrons. Do you have any specific need?" Yang Shi asked.

    " For example- There is Scorching Summer Cauldron, which helps in the regtion of me intensity, or Verdant Wood Cauldron, which can easily extract the herb essence." Yang Shi borated.

    " You have such advanced cauldrons?" Elder Cheng was slightly shocked. He had heard about cauldrons having their special functions, but forging such cauldrons wasn''t easy.

    To make such a cauldron, a forger needs to understand its design and spirit diagram. Without having knowledge of forging design, one can only make ordinary cauldrons.

    " I see, Can you forge a cauldron made from Mountain casting Iron? It must have an affinity with Water element as well as a Spirit Diagram called Flowing River Spirit Diagram." Elder Cheng spoke after some thoughts.

    " Flowing River Spirit Diagram, eh? Fine, it will be done." Yang Shi nodded after some thought. He had ess to myriads of Spirit Diagrams and Rune formations. Yang Shi was confident enough to forge any equipment with amazing Spirit Diagrams.

    " Good, I shall leave then. As for this saber, Here is your payment." Elder Chengughed as he gave Yang Shi two spirit stones.

    Yang Shi was ted to see the spirit stones. He quickly kept them as he bade farewell to Elder Cheng. The crowd turned silent as they again started buying.

    The Floating Cloud Restaurant bustled with the crowd as it was livelier than ever.

    " Two Herbal Knotweed Soups, Three servings of Braised Red Chicken and Five servings of Three Treasured Dumplings." Uncle Han shouted as he entered the kitchen.

    " I AM DOING! I AM DOING!" Wen Ran shouted like a madman as he hurriedly cut the vegetables. He never expected that people would love his dishes.

    " Are the dishes are really tasty or people are eating just because they are free today?" Wen Ran was vexed as he cooked nonstop.

    He didn''t have a chance to taste his own dish before Uncle Han took it and served the guests.

    " I hope nothing goes wrong today." He cleared his mind and focused on cooking.

    " Hmm, This knotweed soup tastes good. Although its taste is lower than Immortal Tower Inn''s soup, it tastes good." A cultivatormented.

    " Hah, I like this Braised Red Chicken. The meat is cooked perfectly. Mm, I can even taste a tint of smoky flower wood."

    " Today''s food is worth the wait. Hahaha, Moreover, it''s free!"

    Uncle Han''s face beamed with joy as he saw the satisfied faces of people. " Old Master, Are you looking at it? Little Wen finally able to shoulder this restaurant." He mumbled. It has been years since he had seen this shop filled with people.

    " Hehe, It seems the Floating Cloud Restaurant is back in business." An old cultivatorughed as he stuffed his mouth with food.

    Soon, it became evening and Yang Shi finally closed his shop. Some people left in reluctance as they couldn''t afford the items. But Yang Shi wasughing with hoy.

    " 23 Million Gold Coins and 2 spirit stones. Not bad." Yang Shi rubbed his chin. " Ruxue,e here." Yang Shi called her. Bai Ruxue had been busy handling the guests. She sweated as she was tired.

    " You must be tired, right? No need for making dinner today. We will eat outside." Yang Shi shook his head as he caressed her hair. Bai Ruxue nodded slightly and asked, " Where is sister Jin?"

    " Jin Yu went outside for a stroll. She will be back till night." Yang Shi shrugged. " Umm, Since we are alone, why not take a bath together?" Yang Shi suddenly pulled Bai Ruxue to his arms she whispered.

    " Why young master is always obsessed to do it while taking bath?" Bai Ruxue hammered her fists lightly on Yang Shi''s chest as he pouted.

    " Well, It''s just that I love to look at your bare body draped with water." Yang Shiughed evilly.

    " Young master, you are so bad!" Bai Ruxue couldn''t help but blush. But she was powerless to do anything as Yang Shi carried her upstairs.

    Yang Shi grabbed the waist of Bai Ruxue as they kissed wildly. They slowly went to the bathroom as their clothes fell.

    Soon after that, the bathroom was filled with soft moans and heavy panting noise.

    " No matter How much time I do, I never get tired of you." Yang Shi chuckled as he poured water over Bai Ruxue''s body as he slowly kissed her neck.

    " Young master, we just finished a while before. You want to go for another round?" Bai Ruxue asked as her body quivered.

    " Well, That depends on you." Yang Shi shrugged as he smiled cheekily.

    " Hmmm, I am not doing it again." Bai Ruxue snorted lightly as she got up. Yang Shi looked at her wless back as he was mesmerized.

    Bai Ruxue''s willowy waist apanied with her perky now white buttocks, Yang Shi could feel that his little brother getting excited all again.

    " Tsk, tsk. Beauty is truly the grave of heroes, ah!" Yang Shi couldn''t help but chuckle. He also wiped his body as he went out.

    " Eh, Sister Ruxue, did you take a bath? Eh, why Brother Yang is also wet?" Jin Yu came back as she suddenly saw Bai Ruxue and Yang Shi.

    " Don''t tell me You guys bathing together?" Jin Yu asked with suspicion.

    " Ah?! No, no! What are you saying, Sister Jin!" Bai Ruxue couldn''t help but rebuke. Her face turned scarlet as she turned away.

    " Hm, Let''s go downstairs. Today, Wen Ran will cook for us. Hehe, I wonder if my method worked." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Ah yes, I am so hungry!" Jin Yu''s attention shifted to food as she forgot about her earlier question. The trio went downstairs as Uncle Han was sitting on a chair.

    " Damn it! My hands are swollen. I worked so much today." Uncle Han grumbled, but the trace of happiness could be seen on his face.

    " Ah! Young Master Yang, Lady Bai! You are here." Uncle Han eximed as he saw Bai Ruxue and Yang Shi.

    " Mr. Han, It seems you are in a good mood today." Yang Shi smiled as he looked at Uncle Han.

    " How can I not? Today, The number of people who ate here surpassed the amount people ate herest six months. I don''t care if they ate for free."

    " Their satisfied face, That''s what matters. Moreover, if Little Wen can keep up with this, The Floating Cloud Restaurant will revive in just a few days." Uncle Hanughed loudly.

    " Alright, thest serving of today." Wen Ran shouted as he came with several tes of dishes. An appetizing aroma filled in the air as Jin Yu''s eye sparkled.

    " Wow, They smell so good." She eximed.

    " Although they smelled good, I didn''t taste them yet." Wen Ran sighed. They all sat around a big table as Wen Ran served everyone.

    " Eh? This chicken Not bad." Yang Shi ate a piece of chicken as he nodded in approval.

    " This bun''s filling is just too rich, get be another te!" Jin Yu shouted.

    Wen Ran also tasted a spoon of his soup.

    " Eh?" He was startled as he drank some more. " N-no way! I made this soup? This tastes so good!" Wen Ran''s eyes shone with light as he stuttered in amazement.

    " Hehe, I got these recipes from an old cultivator. He gave me these recipes as remuneration." Yang Shi chuckled as he couldn''t tell him the truth.

    " But to think, since your grandfather was such a famous cook, Why didn''t he leave behind his cooking technique?" Yang Shi asked after some thought.

 Chapter 255: A New Way

    Chapter 255: A New Way

    " Well, There should have been something that my grandfather left behind. But, I don''t know where to find it." Wen Ran sighed.

    " He left a clue saying- When misfortune befalls, Seek the guidance of the ancestors." Wen Ran muttered.

    " I don''t know what it means. That''s one of the major reasons why this ce regressed so much."

    " Oh, No wonder." Yang Shi nodded.

    " But, I must thank young master Yang. If not for your guidance, I might have really sold this restaurant. " Wen Ran suddenly got up as he bowed before Yang Shi.

    " As long as you work hard, reviving this ce will be much easier than you think." Yang Shi smiled as he waved his hands.

    After a hearty meal, they got up to leave. Bai Ruxue was already tired after wrestling with Yang Shi. So after eating, she directly went to sleep. Yang Shi went back to forge more weapons.

    " This won''t do. At this rate, my production won''t able to keep up with selling." Yang Shi frowned. Even he can forge faster than any Master rank forger, there is still a limit.

    " Hmm, Smelting the ores takes almost half the time of forging. If I can reduce it" Yang Shi pondered. After a while, an idea came to his mind as heughed.

    " Smelting ores and making billets, eh?"

    Yang Shi smiled as he started forging. His Spirit me raged as the Metal qi fused in it. It gave bright golden sparkle like molten gold.

    After an hour, Yang Shi made a huge furnace. It looked simple, but its weight was more than five hundred kg.

    " This furnace should be ok." Yang Shi thought a he poured arge amount of ores in the cauldron. Yang Shi circted the Great Yang Sr me art to its maximum degree.

    The Fire qi raged in his meridian as Yang Shi''s Spirit me became bigger and clearer. The furnace heated as the ores inside it started to melt.

    " I should make billets beforehand. After making billets, Making weapons out of them will be easier." Yang Shi spoke. " Hmm, Let''s go with four types of billet."

    " Heavy billet for heavier weapon like heavy sword or armor, Feathery billet for Lighter weapons, Flexible billet for flexible weapon and This will be the Treasure billet."

    " Only if I were to forge something important, I will use this type of billet." Yang Shi nodded.

    Soon enough, therge amount of liquid metal bubbled in the furnace as Yang Shi started to use his Metal qi.

    " Gold Devil Seal! Metal Maniption!" Yang Shi chanted as his Gold Devil Seal hone with golden rays.

    His Gold Devil Seal already went past the thirdyer as it became Yang Shi''s most powerful helper.

    It gave Yang Shi the Embryonic Gold Devil Body. With this, Yang Shi can control metals and Metal qi to a certain extent.

    To be more frank, his ability currently can be considered simr to someone from the X-MEN series.

    " Although I can''t control solid metal as I wish, if it was in a liquid or gaseous state, I can utilize them quite a bit." Yang Shi chuckled.

    The liquid metal bubbling in the furnace rose as it suddenly separated into many parts. Yang Shi clenched his fist as he shouted,

    " Condense!"

    The liquid metal pieces wobbled as they suddenly solidified into brick shapes, Then they fell on the ground making a Thud sound. Be its shape or size, or color, there were thirty six identical billets on the ground.

    " Alright, The Heavy billets are ready. Let''s go for another two." Yang Shi wiped his sweat as he started to make Flexible billets and Feathery billets.

    In six hours, Yang Shi made a hundred and eight billets. That means the one hundred and eight weapons. He also made some weapon molds along with the billets.

    " Well, I need to liquefy the billets and pour them into the mold. Then I will simply inscribe the Spirit Diagram over them. Hehe, In this way, it will twice the result at half of the effort." Yang Shi smiled.

    After he finished his forging, he still had a lot of time. So he took out his talisman brush and a bunch of yellow paper. He dipped the brush in the ink as he started drawing on the yellow paper.

    " Let'' s make a rank one Fireball Talisman." Yang Shi muttered as he activated his Celestial View. His soul qi poured in the brush as he started inscribing the Fireball talisman.

    Each of his strokes was drawn meticulously. Yang Shi''s face gleamed with sweat as his soul qi diminished rapidly.

    Yang Shi persisted even though he was filled with mental fatigue.

    As he was making hisst stroke, his hands trembled as his eyes closed in pain.

    Yang Shi realized that his soul qi exhaustedpletely.

    Before he could finish the talisman, he stopped abruptly, making the talisman paper ruined.

    " Fuck, My soul qi isn''t enough to make a rank one talisman."

    Yang Shi sighed as he looked at the Perception Stone. " Do I need to use it?" He wondered.

    " Wait a second. Perception stone contains soul qi naturally. However, it is so turbid that living beings can''t absorb it, not directly at least." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    " But what if"

    Yang Shi clenched a Perception Stone as he activated his Crimson Lily primordial spirit.

    A crimson ring appeared behind him as Yang Shi focused its power on the Perception stone.

    Yang Shi could feel an invisible energy was getting sucked by the crimson ring as it poured into his dantian.

    He activated his Internal energy as he tried to refine the impurity from the invisible energy, His Internal energy was very unusual. It works like a whetstone for all sorts of qi.

    With Internal energy, Yang Shi can discard impurities from any sort of energy and absorb only the purest form of energy. The Internal Energy rolled in Yang Shi''s meridian as it slowly refined the invisible energy.

    Yang Shi could see thin strands of white qi, which got refined from the invisible energy. The white qi was like strands of hair, which swiftly got absorbed by his soul.

    " Eh? EH?!!!" Yang S hi''s facial expression changed as his soul quietly absorbed the white strands. Yang Shi could feel his soul grow slightly.

    Although its effect was lower than Mind Calming Pills, Yang Shi was absolutely thrilled to find this.

    Heughed madly as he clenched a bunch of Perception stones as he absorbed them greedily.

    He was astounded to find that he could absorb soul qi from Perception Stone. Normally, the cultivator can''t absorb soul qi from perception stone.

    But there is a type of stone which I called Soul Stone. It can easily help cultivators to absorb soul qi. But Soul Stone is far too rare, even rare than rank six pills.

    " But for me, Every Perception Stone is a miniature version of Soul Stone. With enough supply of Perception stone, I don''t believe that I won''t able to heal my soul." Yang Shiughed.

    Using soul qi from Perception Stone is better than using low grade soul healing pills. Eating too many pills might affect his body.

    But soul qi from Perception stone doesn''t have any harmful content. He can absorb Perception stones as many as he wants.

    " I have to buy arge amount of Perception Stone tomorrow." Yang Shi decided.

    " Hmm, since I have already found a way to repair my soul, I should start cultivating a Soul Cultivation technique."

 Chapter 256: Training Body And Soul

    Chapter 256: Training Body And Soul

    Soul cultivation technique is much more different than body refining technique and qi cultivation technique.

    Having a powerful soul is a must need for martial cultivators and masters of supplementary paths.

    However, cultivating the soul is also harder than the other two type of cultivation techniques. One needs to have a soul powerful enough to sustain the technique. But cultivating soul cultivation technique has huge merits.

    For example, let''s take two alchemists of the same rank and same soul strength. While refining medicinal pills, the one practicing a soul cultivation technique would have a natural advantage over the other one.

    Moreover, with enough soul qi, they might be able to concoct pills that surpass the limits of their ranks. That''s why soul cultivation techniques are heavily sought by the supplementary masters.

    " Most soul techniques were meant to be cultivated when one''s soul is at optimum condition. However, there are also a few which were needed to cultivate when the soul is weak." Yang Shi pondered.

    Although this may look easy, it has its own dangers. Although such techniques require weak soul, after starting the technique, one needs to grow their soul strength quickly. Otherwise, they have to face a terrible bacsh and they could die.

    " But I think I can practice them. Which one I should start with? Silk Flow Soul Tactics? Sacred Mist Divine Art? Nine Mysteries of Eternal Soul?

    Yang Shi browsed among hundreds of soul cultivation techniques avable in Samsara Emperor''s memory. Samsara Emperor had practiced The Nine Mysteries of Eternal Soul technique to the pinnacle.

    With his achievement in the Nine Mysteries of Eternal Soul technique, Samsara Emperor had created an indestructible soul.

    His divine sense reached a level where he materialize anything with just a thought of his.

    Yang Shi was also tempted to cultivate this technique, but he also knew the difficulties regarding this technique.

    Samsara Emperor was only able to fullyplete this technique because he had experienced far too many things in endless years. Yang Shi''s experience in front of Samsara Emperor is like a drop of water in the ocean.

    " Although my soul is much weaker than average souls, my soul is much purer and condensed."

    " Qualitywise, It is satisfactory, so I should focus on quantity."

    After much thought, Yang Shi finally picked a soul technique from Samsara Emperor''s memory.

    " Myriad Soul Controlling Form." Yang Shi finally decide to cultivate this technique.

    In fact, the Myriad Soul Controlling Form and Nine Mysteries of Eternal Soul technique stem from the same origin.

    " As per its name, Myriad Soul Controlling Form allows a cultivator to control more than one soul. A person has only one soul, but with this technique, a cultivator can have more than one soul." Yang Shi was amazed.

    Even though the technique sounds cool, the process isn''t. To cultivate more than one soul, a cultivator needs to separate a small part of their own soul and refine it.

    It is like having one main soul and several other subsidiary souls. Cultivating this technique will bolster someone''s soul strength tremendously.

    With aid of several subsidiary souls, a person can easily defeat someone with a higher cultivation realm.

    Yang Shi picked this technique because his soul was very weak at the moment. He felt that severing a part of his soul will be much easier for him.

    Yang Shi silently chanted the incantation as he circted his soul qi. His soul qi was thin as a thread, but it was transparent with a white mist around it.

    Yang Shi circted it around his soul as he could feel his soul getting clearer. It has distinct features same as his body. Yang Shi could see the vivid pair of eyes in his soul.

    " The soul is a replica of mine after all." Yang Shi shook his head.

    The Myriad Soul Controlling Form has twelve realms. Each realm is divided by nine stages. So in total, there are a hundred and eight stages.

    Every three stage has a minor threshold and each major realm can be considered as a great threshold.

    After an hour, Yang Shi finally reached the peak of the first stage of the first realm.

    Yang Shi could feel that his soul qi has be slightly more vibrant. His vision was clear as he used his divine sense with more proficiency.

    " Hmm, I have already reached the peak of stage one. With a bit more, I will reach the third stage this week. I must gather Perception Stone." Yang Shi nodded as he finally went out from his forge.

    He stretched his arm as he saw it was almost dawn. Yang Shi had some thoughts as he went back to his forge. After a few minutes, He came out with arge block of gold.

    The gold block looked more bright as it emitted slight heat. Yang Shi''s Gold Devil Body was raging as he lifted the block.

    " Heh, Although it doesn''t look impressive, It''s made by at least ten million gold coins." Yang Shi chuckled.

    That''s right, Yang Shi smelted millions of gold coins and reduced all of its impurities by his Gold Devil Seal. This block of gold is a thousand time denser than ordinary gold. Yang Shi carried it to the garden as he put it on the ground.

    The golden block reflected the rays of the morning sun, which emitted piercing golden light. Yang Shi enjoyed the sunlight as he calmed his breath. After a while, he circted his Internal Energy as he attacked the golden block.

    " Shaolin Golden Dragon w!"

    Yang Shi''s hands became like an eagle w as he tried to rip the golden block. The golden ck didn''t budge lightly, but Yang Shi could feel tingling pain on his fingers.

    Yang Shi was neither using his spiritual qi nor the Gold Devil Body. Although his physique was naturally powerful than another cultivator, the golden block was far too condensed.

    Yang Shi was sure that even a cultivator of the Violet Pce Expansion realm will have a hard time ripping this golden block with just their body alone.

    However, such methods were used by the martial arts school of earth. They used these torturing methods for years to strengthen their physical body and push them to their limits.

    For example, The move Yang Shi used was an attacking technique of Ancient Shaolin Temple. The Shaolin techniques are martial art of the Yang branch.

    Their Internal Energy is also heavily Yang attributed. That''s why almost all of their disciples are male.

    Yang Shi''s Internal Energy was different. It consisted of the Chao qi, which came from the origin force of creation. His Internal Energy contains all sorts of elements.

    The dawn was the best time for absorbing Yang type energy which was also mixed with light Yin energy. Yang Shi used the Yang energy from sunlight to practice the Shaolin Golden Dragon w.

    Back on Earth, a person who fully mastered this technique could rip raw gold with their bare hands. Yang Shi was also trying to increase his natural body limits, without using any technique of cultivation world.

    " With enough practice, a frail body can be transformed into a warrior''s physique. Since mortals of Earth did it, Why can''t I?" Yang Shi mumbled as he practiced the Shaolin Golden Dragon w on the gold block.

    After an hour, Yang Shi''s fingers were turned to bloody red while the gold block remained the same. But Yang Shi didn''t mind as he stopped his training.

    The sun was already high and Yang Shi went to open his store.. However, Just he was about to open his shop, his eyes widened as he saw someone familiar.

 Chapter 257: Asking For Pills

    Chapter 257: Asking For Pills

    Yang Shi saw a yellow robed old man was standing outside his store a he was looking around. Yang Shi instantly recognized him as he hurriedly went to him.

    " Such a good name. It has been only a day, and your store is already be quite well known." The old manughed as he saw Yang Shi wasing to him.

    " Hehe, I thought you already died from old age, master." Yang Shi greeted him as heughed.

    " You brat! We met after such a long time and your mouth is already spewing ominous words." The old man couldn''t help but grimace.

    " Pleasee inside, Master Bao." Yang Shi smiled as he took him to his shop.

    It was none other than Master Bao, who had given Yang Shi the Great Yang Sr me Art. He also helped Yang Shi to leave the Misty Tower City to avoid the detection of the elders of the Golden Sun Sect back then.

    " Hmm, This weapon looks good. The sharpness, the edge, perfect as a long sword." Master Bao picked a weapon from Yang Shi''s disy case as he looked at it.

    " It could have been better if you had used Cold water steel instead of Springleaf Steel." Master Baomented.

    " Thanks for reminding, master. I will try to do better next time." Yang Shi nodded humbly.

    " Good, the willingness to learn. I like that." Master Bao nodded.

    " I heard that Elder Cheng had given you an order for making a cauldron, right?"

    " A Flowing Water River Diagram, you have already learned making suchplex diagram?" Master Bao asked curiously.

    " Yes, I have read the scriptures in the Golden Fire Tower. I learned from there." Yang Shiughed mildly.

    Master Bao shook his head, " Although there are many techniques in Golden Fire Tower, reading them and learning from them are two different things."

    " Anyway, I don''t think you came here just to congratte me on this shop?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Well, I just wanted to check how far your Great Yang Sr me Art has improved." Master Bao chuckled.

    " I have already reached the me Maniption Realm." Yang Shi opened his palm as hi Spirit me appeared. The mes slowly took the shape of a lily.

    " What? Is this is your origin me?! You already created your own Spirit me?" Master Bao''s eyes went wide.

    " Not really. It only has a special connection with me because of my unique Primordial Spirit." Yang Shi shook his head.

    " When I got my Beast me, my Primordial Spirit absorbed the Beast me and made it my own me." Yang Shi exined as his Crimson Lily primordial spirit appeared behind him.

    " A Fire attribute primordial spirit? No wonder why your talent is so good at cksmithing." Master Bao nodded.

    " The reason I came here to invite you for the yearly Golden Fire Tournament. Since the Mysterious Spirit Realm will soon open, many geniuses areing from all around."

    " The Golden Fire Tournament happens every year, where alchemists and cksmithse to showcase their talents. Thepetition is fierce, but the rewards are also ample."

    " I hope youe to Firmament City to participate in this." Master Bao spoke. He looked at Yang Shi with an interesting gaze.

    " So, When is thepetition?" Yang Shi asked.

    " After a week." Master Bao nodded.

    " But why me? I thought there are many other talents in Azure Wind City?" Yang Shiughed.

    " Don''t act like you don''t know anything. You can be considered as half-disciple of mine. I have made a bet with someone so I hope you will be able to keep my face." Master Bao snickered.

    " Don''t worry. I have faith in my talent." Yang Shi nodded.

    Yang Shi suddenly thought of something as his eyes narrowed. He smiled cheekily as he asked,

    " Master Bao, Since you came after such a long time, you haven''t brought any present for this disciple?"

    " Present? Why do you need any present?" Master Bao''s eyes squinted.

    " Fine, What do you want? A superb forging table? Or some sort of cksmithing technique?"

    " The Great Yang Sr me Art is already a Heaven grade technique. I don''t think you want another me controlling technique?" Master Bao asked.

    " Master, If you can, please give me a bottle of Soul Nourishing Pills." Yang Shi spoke seriously.

    Although he was about to use Perception Stones to heal his soul, Getting additional help from Master Bao won''t hurt much.

    " Soul Nourishing Pill?! Brat, Why you need such a precious pill? Don''t tell me that your soul is hurt?" Master Bao''s expression changed as he asked gravely.

    Damage on the soul was noughing matter. Internal and external wounds are easy to heal, but one''s soul is different.

    Even it is slightly damaged; it can affect the cultivator tremendously.

    With a damaged soul, be it the martial path or supplementary path, one''s growth would be limited greatly.

    " You can say that. But thankfully, with Soul Nourishing Pill, I will be okay." Yang Shi nodded.

    " Soul Nourishing Pill is a high tier rank three pill. It is very hard to get a bottle of Soul Nourishing Pill. Never mind, I think I have some way." Master Bao pinched his forehead as he sighed.

    " You must remain prepared. This year''s Golden Fire Tournament will be much special. You must at least take a position in the top ten." Master Bao said in a serious tone.

    " I know your talent is very high among your peers, but don''t just limit your view in Azure Cloud Ancient Kingdom."

    " Don''t worry about me, I definitely give you a surprise." Yang Shi smiled.

    " As long as you are confident. I have some work in the Royal Pce, so I will be going. As for your Soul Nourishing Pill, wait for a day or two." Master Bao spoke as he got up.

    Yang Shi saw the departing figure of Master Bao as he became excited. Although his necessity for Soul Nourishing Pill has lessened now, having them will be much better.

    " With Soul Nourishing Pill and Perception Stone, cultivating the Myriad Soul Controlling Technique will be much easier." Yang Shiughed.

    After he asked Bai Ruxue to look after the shop, Yang Shi hurriedly got out and went to the Hundred Gold Pavilion.

    " Can you show me some Perception Stones? I want the quality ones." Yang Shi asked.

    " Young noble, you came to the right ce. We have recently received a batch of Perception Stones." The attendant nodded as he opened a wooden box in front of Yang Shi.

    The box was packed with Perception Stones of all sizes and shapes. Perception Stone wasrgely needed by the Rune Masters.

    Unless they awake their soul and utilize soul qi, They are dependent upon the power of Perception Stone.

    Of course, utilizing Perception Stone also requires proficiency. For Adept rank Rune Masters, they could waste a dozen Perception Stones just to make one or two rank one talismans.

    Yang Shi activated his Celestial View as he probed all the Perception Stone. With his powerful eyes, he could clearly see the aura emitted by the stones.

    The brighter the aura, the better the quality. And what Yang Shi wants are top qualities Perception Stone.

    " Well, Give me all these two boxes." Yang Shi spoke.

    " Young noble?! Are you sure?" The attendant became startled as he looked at Yang Shi like looking at a ghost.

    Although Perception Stones were precious, other than Rune inscription, it doesn''t have many uses. For an ordinary cultivator, It is nothing more than a shiny mortal gem.

    " Here, Five million gold coins. I think it should cover the expenses, right?" Yang Shi handed him a storage pouch as heughed.

    The attendant checked the storage pouch as his face became ted. He hastily nodded as he said, " Enough, It is already enough."

    As Yang Shi was about to say something else, another young man reached the ce as he asked the attendant,

    " Boss, I heard that you received another batch of Perception Stone? I want to buy them.. All of them."

 Chapter 258: Use Of Perception Stones

    Chapter 258: Use Of Perception Stones

    The neer wore a dark colored robe, which looked expensive. Just from his looks, he looked like a nobility.

    " Eh? This box of Perception Stone looks fine. Here are two million gold coins and give me that box." The young man looked at the box as he spoke.

    " Guest, Your price is really low. Moreover, I have already sold this box to this young master here." The attendant was displeased as he spoke.

    " Oh really? Then get me another box." The young man spoke.

    " Sorry, guest. It was thest box. The other ones are low quality Perceptions Stones, which you won''t like. As for high grade ones, you need to wait another two days." The attendant spoke.

    " WHAT?" The young man eximed. " You don''t have high grade ones?" He suddenly looked at Yang Shi, who was already taken the box.

    " Hey, Can you give me this box of Perception Stone? I will pay." He asked Yang Shi.

    " Not really? I urgently need Perception Stones, So I won''t be selling it." Yang Shi refused in a t tone.

    " Fellow brother, Why refuse so hastily? Five million, I will give you additional one million gold coins." The young persuaded.

    " Are you deaf? I already said that I won''t sell." Yang Shi''s tone became angry.

    " Hey, brat! No need to be cocky. Do you even know who am I?" The young man''s face fell as his eyes narrowed.

    " I am already being nice enough to pay you, yet you are still not understanding. It seems I need to use force after all." The young man spoke coldly.

    " Threatening me? What, Do you think I am some three year child?" Yang Shi smirked. He turned around to leave, but he was stopped by the young man again.

    " Guests, You know the rules. You can''t fight inside the Hundred Gold Pavilion." The attendant''s voice turned cold as he reminded both of them.

    Although Hundred Gold Pavilion conducted business, its hidden power isn''t to be trifled with. Even the Royal family had to ept its rules inside the building.

    " Haha, Who is fighting? I am just reminding this brother to keep his things safe. Who knows, there are many robbers outside." The young man smiled sinisterly as he looked at Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi didn''t say anything as he left. The young man cursed in his heart as he followed Yang Shi secretly.

    Yang Shi''s Celestial View was already active the moment he left Hundred Gold Pavilion. He could clearly feel the young man was following him.

    " Greedy bastard, hmph!" Yang Shi snorted as he increased his speed.

    " Eh? Did he notice me? Anyway, I need to teach him a lesson. Heh, From looks, he must be a fat sheep."

    The young man licked his lips in greed as he watched Yang Shi from distance.

    " Hmm, Do I really need to fight?" Yang Shi pondered. The young man''s cultivation was peak of the Eighth stage Primordial Spirit Realm. With Yang Shi''s strength, he can crush him easily.

    " Nah, Since my mood is good today, I will spare him." Yang Shi nodded. He activated his Soaring Eagle Immortal Steps as he instantly became a blur.

    " Eh?" The young man following Yang Shi became surprised as he also activated his movement technique.

    But before he could chase him, Yang Shi already vanished from his vision.

    " Damn it!" He cursed as he angrily kicked the ground.

    " Damn, Boss will definitely scold me. That damned brat, Hmph, I will see him another time." The cursed as he looked at the distance.

    Yang Shi hurriedly went back to his store. People already starteding to the Floating Cloud Restaurant and True Treasure Hall.

    Yang Shi sat in his usual ce as people came to buy his weapon. Among weapons, Swords and sabers are the most popr ones.

    The sword has many variations, Long sword, short sword, light sword, heavy sword. Each cultivator had its own preference. The same thing applies to sabers.

    " Well, The stock of high grade weapons is almost out. Hurry up, my dear guests. Otherwise you won''t able to secure your weapon." Yang Shiughed as he shouted.

    He could see that his shelves are getting empty real quick. Yang Shi shook his head as he realized that people are loving his product more than he thought.

    " Hmm, I think I should also hire some cksmiths to share my burden. Otherwise, I won''t able to keep up with selling." Yang Shi mused.

    Suddenly, he thought of Shi Kun, Xin Rou, and others whom he had taught cksmithing.

    " I wonder what are they doing in Lan family? I also haven''t met Lan Yue for a while." Yang Shi mused.

    Yang Shi sighed as he looked at the crowd before him. After two hours, all the high tier and lower Spirit grades are already sold.

    " Boss Yang, Where are other weapons? I want a middle tier Spirit grade sword."

    " I want a High tier sword."

    Some people became annoyed as theyined before Yang Shi.

    " Everyone here, It seems the weapons today have been sold off. Those who are interested, they can leave behind their orders and can collect them tomorrow." Yang Shi waved his hands as he spoke.

    " And those who wish for Quasi True grade weapon, there are still many here. Of course, the payment will be in spirit stones." Yang Shiughed.

    The crowd grimaced as they heard Yang Shi. For them, Quasi True grade weapons are very enticing. However, spirit stones are hard currency, so they are unable to afford them.

    " Meh, Just for one day. I can wait." A burly man spoke as he chose to ce an order. Soon, people followed him and ced their orders.

    " Wait, Wait for a second! Hey guys, I want to add that we also buy raw materials for honest price."

    " If you give us enough material, we will lower the price of your weapons."

    Yang Shi''s eyes squinted as he looked at the number of orders being ced. He realized the materials inside his Spatial ring might fall short.

    He hurriedly made a board saying that this ce also epts raw material and ores for gold coins.

    " Thoserge firms have their own mines. I think I also need some partners who would supply me materials." Yang Shi sighed.

    The shop almost emptied as people realized that all the weapons have been sold. Yang Shi realized he had some free time so he went back to his room to cultivate.

    " Alright! Perception Stones, Hee Ie!" Yang Shi held Perception Stone big as an adult fist both in his hands as his Crimson Lily primordial spirit appeared behind him.

    The crimson ring also appeared it started to absorb energy from the Perception Stone. Yang Shi''s Internal Energy rolled and it purified the turbid energy of Perception Stone, taking out only pure soul qi.

    Yang Shi also chanted the form of the Myriad Soul Controlling Technique. With help of that, his soul greedily absorbed the soul qi from Perception Stones.

    Yang Shi could feel that the soul qi absorption rate increased two fold while he was cultivating the Myriad Soul Controlling Technique. After an hour he already finished half of the Perception Stone he had.

    " Haha! I can feel it. The storing capacity of my Sea of Consciousness has increased. Although it will still take some time to recover my soul fully, I can already feel my soul strength increasing." Yang Shiughed.

    After that, he took out a talisman brush as he started making inscriptions.. He was confident this time to make a rank one talisman.

 Chapter 259: Secrets Unfold

    Chapter 259: Secrets Unfold

    Yang Shi''s soul qi channeled into his talisman brush as he started making the rank one Fireball talisman.

    His Celestial View was active with his Azure Lotus Primordial spirit. Yang Shi could monitor every variation of his strokes.

    The ink flowed over the paper as Yang Shi''s gaze became focused. His hands moved slowly as the talisman paper was filled with lines.

    He could feel his soul qi was depleting rapidly, however, there is still a lot in reserve. After half an hour, Yang Shi finally stopped as he looked satisfied.

    The talisman paper shed with light as the symbols on it seem to wriggle. The pitch ck ink turned to a ming red color as the paper became straight and hard.

    Yang Shi picked it as he poured a bit of his spiritual qi into it. The symbols on the talisman shone as the talisman turned into a ball of mes. The mes were the size of a basketball, burning furiously with terrifying power.

    " Hmm, although this Fireball talisman looks good, it can only hurt the third stage of Primordial Spirit realm cultivators and lower."

    " Moreover, it is not much useful in actual life and deathbat." Yang Shi chuckled as he dispersed the mes.

    In actualbat, win and lose were determined in a blink of an eye. Unless the opponent is immobile or dumb, it is very easy to dodge the attack of Fireball talisman.

    " Anyway, It is good that I can now make rank one talismans. I should start working on making True grade weapon soon." Yang Shi sat cross-legged as he recovered his soul qi.

    Some Rune master focused on making only one type of talismans. Some Adept rank rune master can only make three of four types of talismans.

    However, a true Adept rank Rune master should create more than a dozen types of rank one talisman. This was the qualitative difference between same rank Rune masters.

    Not only in rune inscription, but every profession also has the same issue. Take the example of Yang Shi.

    He was a Master grade cksmith, however, he can forge different types of the treasure of Quasi True rank. But, most Master grade cksmiths of Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom were unable to do the same.

    " Hmm, I should create another one." Yang Shi mused as he started to make talismans again. After a few hours, he finally stopped as he stretched his arm.

    " Ahh, It feels so good. The more I use my soul qi, the smoother it gets. Hehe, Supplementary path has its own advantage." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Ah, there are still many orders pending. That Elder Cheng''s cauldron isn''t done yet. Anyway, There is still another day for that." Yang Shi chuckled.

    Today, a person came to deliver the materials for Elder Cheng''s cauldron. Yang Shi was astonished to see many rare ores and metals were in the storage pouch in adequate amounts.

    Even if he failed to forge a cauldron, there are enough materials to start forging another one. Yang Shi felt that he can easily pocket a good amount of materials.

    " I am sure that Elder Cheng wasn''t a petty person who would ask the remaining material." Yang Shi thought inwardly.

    " Young Master, Someone wishes to meet you." Bai Ruxue suddenly came as she called Yang Shi.

    " Meet me?" Yang Shi mumbled as he got up and went with Bai Ruxue.

    Yang Shi suddenly stopped as he looked at the person standing in front of him.

    " Really? I never thought that even you woulde here." Yang Shiughed forcefully.

    " Well, I heard that your shop is doing well, so I came to take a look." It was none other than Old Ghost.

    " She isn''t here?" Yang Shi looked behind Old Ghost as he asked.

    " Not really. She has some work to do. Why? Missing her?" Old Ghostughed strangely.

    " Heh, Think whatever you want." Ruxue, Bring some tea for our guests." Yang Shi looked at Bai Ruxue as he spoke.

    " As you wish." Bai Ruxue nodded as she went to the kitchen.

    " Nicess. Her spiritual qi flow is very smooth and her aura is also imposing." Old Ghost looked at Bai Ruxue''s back as hemented.

    " Who knows? Maybe her aptitude is simr to your princess?" Yang Shi chuckled. Old Ghost trembled as he heard Yang Shi.

    " Princess? I don''t know what you are talking about?" Old Ghost smiled stiffly as he spoke slowly.

    " Are we still ying hide and seek game? If you want, I can also y along." Yang Shi shrugged.

    Many ancient powerhouses existed across eras. Although some of them got destroyed in the flow of time, many of them still stand like mountains to this date.

    From the performance of Shen Yanyu and Heaven Saber Seven Arts from Old Ghost, Yang Shi connected many dots.

    Celestial Sea ne was the home of the Samsara Emperor. He had spent time here more than anyone. From the memory of Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi understood many things.

    " Really? Why don''t you tell what you know?" Old Ghost smiled.

    " So, What should I say? Let me guess, Crimson Heaven Great Empire, Shen n, and Dominating Saber Mountain?" Yang Shi spoke in a low voice.

    Hearing the words of Yang Shi, Old Ghost''s eyes narrowed. Suddenly, Yang Shi felt that the space around him froze like solid ice as a terrifying pressure fell on him.

    Yang Shi''s veins bulged as he couldn''t breathe properly. He felt the divine sense of Old Ghost was crushing him like a mountain.

    Yang Shi immediately urged his Azure Lotus primordial spirit. Suddenly, an azure aura enveloped him and his soul, making the pressure lessened.

    The seal of Samsara Emperor on his soul shed as it repelled the pressure of Old Ghost. It was like an enraged beast who felt someone was trying to suppress it.

    " Hmm?" Old Ghost''s gaze flickered as he saw Yang Shi was sitting without much difficulty. " Who are you? Don''t you know, without enough strength, knowing secrets can be fatal?" Old Ghostughed coldly.

    " Although strength is necessary, having a powerful backing is also a must need a thing. Don''t you wonder who is behind me?" Yang Shi smiled.

    Although he was acting normally, his back was drenched in sweat. Yang Shi could feel the pressure of Old Ghost down to his bones.

    " Really? Where are you from? Hidden Dragon Sect? Nine Imperial Gates?" Old Ghost questioned.

    " Who knows? But the thing is, I know you are wounded. I want to se till when you are able to use your divine sense?" Yang Shi smiled.

    " Yo-You! How did you know?" Old Ghost''s facial expression changed as he stopped pressuring Yang Shi.

    " Although I am a cksmith, I also dabble some book of medicines, I know you are an Origin Core Realm expert."

    " However, Your origin core is damaged. Your power is also very limited and you can''t use your divine sense too much." Yang Shi spoke slowly.

    " But it is enough to crush you." Old Ghost''s eyes became cold.

    " That''s true. But the thing is, Don''t you want to repair your origin core? Don''t you want to recover to your peak?" Yang Shi blinked his eyes.

    " Brat, I have been seeing you when you are just at Spiritual Ascension Realm. We have been working together the moment you joined Blood Moon Hall."

    " I think I should believe in you." Old Ghost smiled amicably as the pressure disappeared.

    Bai Ruxue entered as she put the tray of tea. Old Ghost lifted the cup as he sipped the tea.

    " Nice tea! Its vor is refreshing." Old Ghost praised.

    " Ruxue, Please go back to your room. We need to talk something private." Yang hi spoke softly. Bai Ruxue nodded as she left.

    " Don''t worry, Brat. I trust you.." Old Ghostughed as he drank tea.

 Chapter 260: Crimson Heaven Empire

    Chapter 260: Crimson Heaven Empire

    Yang Shi smiled as he realized Old Ghost meant no harm for him. Old Ghost also confirmed his suspicions.

    In the entire Southsea Domain, There are numerous kingdoms and sects. However, no matter how big a kingdom bes, they are still called a kingdom.

    Soaring Star Supreme Kingdom was the top force of the western province. However, it is still called a kingdom and not an empire.

    From ancient times, there has been a custom that only a Heavenly Sovereign can build an Empire. Without the strength of Heavenly Sovereign, no one dares to found an empire, no matter howrge thend they rule.

    Crimson Heaven Empire was founded during the Age of Chaos. As far as Samsara Emperor knew, the empire had produced five Heavenly Sovereigns. Each of them had the power to move heaven and earth.

    The imperial family of the Crimson Heaven Empire was called the Shen Family. From the surname of Shen Yanyu, Yang Shi already guessed that. Moreover, when he saw the primordial spirit of Shen Yanyu, his doubts cleared.

    " Do you recognize this?" Yang Shi pulled out his Heaven Cmity as he passed it to Old Ghost.

    " This!" Old Ghost caressed the saber as his eyes went wide. " Progenitor! The aura of Progenitor!" Old Ghost stood up immediately.

    " Tyrannical Thunder Saber of the First Sect Mater of Dominating Saber Mountain. Brat! How did you get this?" Old Ghost asked in a disbelieving voice. " It used to be the weapon of Sect Master Situ Nan in his younger days."

    " Even after he reached higher realms and became powerful, he never abandoned it. However, our sect lost it thousands of years ago." Old Ghost became emotional.

    " Well, You can say that I am fortunate enough to get this saber. So, at least you can say that you and I are tied by fate." Yang Shi spoke.

    " Fate, eh? Sure." Old Ghost''s gaze turned strange as heughed.

    " Anyway, Since I have disclosed enough information, let''s talk about it some other day. Right now, we have bigger issues to face." Old Ghost spoke.

    " Hmm? I remember, How did the deal of Vital Blood of Ancient Beast go? You guys got it?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Unfortunately, Not." Old Ghost said with vexation. " Although we got the Soul Nourishing Wood, Second Prince''s faction somehow got both the Soul Nourishing Wood and Water of Life. They got the Vital Blood." Old Ghost sighed.

    " I really want to ask you something. Shen n of Crimson Heaven Empire is so mighty that it can shake the entire Celestial Sea ne."

    " Leaving the prosperous empire, what are you guys doing in this deste ce?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

    " The battle of the throne has begun in the Crimson Heaven Empire." Old Ghost smiled wryly.

    " Wait, WHAT?!" Yang Shi''s body shook as his eyes went wide. He clearly understood the meaning of this word.

    The Crimson Heaven Empire''s selection of crown is much different from the struggle of the throne in Azure Feather Ancient Kingdom. It happens on a much grand scale.

    Each prince or princess had to leave the Empire and travel far and wide with almost no resources. They had to build their own forces with their own hands. Yang Shi finally realized what Shen Yanyu is doing here.

    " The Great Saint of Empire had started thispetition. But it was little different than previous ones."

    " Along with building their forces, the heirs need to find the fragments of Sacred Dragon Emblem." Old Ghost exined.

    " Sacred Dragon Emblem? You mean this was the test preparation for the heirs of the Shen n? Holy Shit!" Yang Shi almost jumped from shock.

    Sacred Dragon Emblem was a treasure of the Crimson Heaven Empire. It was a Dao artifact containing massive power. It was created by the first Heavenly Sovereign of Crimson Heaven Empire.

    Butter, it was fragmented into many pieces and hidden across the continent. Nheless, each piece is powerful as an Earth grade artifact.

    " So, You guys supporting the first prince to build your power and also, a fragment of Sacred Dragon Emblem is here?" Yang Shi took a deep breath.

    " Apparently, yes." Old Ghost nodded.

    " Huuu!" Yang Shi took a deep breath as he calmed his mind. Although he had expected it, he still felt pressure after hearing the Old Ghost.

    " I think the fragment might be inside the Mysterious Spirit Realm. That''s why Miss Shen isn''t in hurry to breakthrough to the Violet Pce Expansion realm."

    " Hmm, Since the transaction has failed, what are you going to do now?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Honestly, I don''t know. Even though I am an Origin Core Realm expert, I can''t act ording to my ord. I can only act when Miss She faces some life or death crisis." Old Ghost rolled his eyes.

    Yang Shi nodded as he heard Old Ghost. Even if Old Ghost was an injured Origin Core Realm cultivator, with his prowess, snatching the Vital Blood would have been very easy. But as he said, he can''t act without any solid reason.

    " I really don''t want to associate with you guys anymore. The struggle of the throne is very suffocating for me." Yang Shi mumbled.

    " Haha, As you said, we are bounded by fate. No matter what, you can''t escape the strings of fate." Old Ghostughed. " How is the making of True grade weapon going?" Old Ghost asked.

    " I am very close. Ask Miss Shen to wait for a few days. I will forge a True grade bow for her." Yang Shi nodded.

    But suddenly a thought struck his brain as he hastily asked, " If you guys didn''t get the Vital Blood, what about the beast egg of Purple Thunder Wyvern?"

    " We are still thinking of a solution. It seems we need to hire a Grandmaster Alchemist to concoct Demon Condensing Pill." Old Ghost spoke.

    " What if I say, that I can hatch the beast egg much earlier? Moreover, I can even purify its bloodline without the Vital Blood." Yang Shi spoke carefully.

    " You can do that?" Old Ghost was skeptical.

    " I have some connections." Yang Shi smiled mysteriously." What do you think?"

    " Well, It''s not like the beast will hatch anytime sooner. So, I can give the egg to you. However, if anything goes wrong, prepare one thousand spirit stones." Old Ghost said.

    " Fine. But if I seed, you need to give the Soul Nourishing Wood to me." Yang Shi stated his condition.

    " As you say." Old Ghost waved his hands as he turned to leave.

    " I guess, I need to hurry up after all." Yang Shi saw the departing figure of Old Ghost as he mumbled. He went back to the forge as he started forging the medicinal cauldron of Elder Cheng.

    Yang Shi dared to bet with Old Ghost because of his Internal Energy. His Internal Energy works in a mysterious way. It helped both Xiao Hei and Jin Yu to refine their bloodline.

    Yang Shi realized that his Internal Energy has a special property, which can help the bloodline to trace back to its ancestor and unlock its hidden powers.

    " Mm, If I get that Soul Nourishing Wood, everything will be perfect." Yang Shi chuckled.

    Forging a Quasi True Grade Cauldron wasn''t difficult for Yang Shi.. But since Elder Cheng was an important person, Yang Shi decided to work with more focus.

 Chapter 261: Startled Elder Cheng

    Chapter 261: Startled Elder Cheng

    Yang Shi''s Spirit me bloomed as the materials melted rapidly. Yang Shi has be so much proficient in forging that he was doing it in a natural rhythm.

    He used his hammer as the metal lump slowly took the shape of a cauldron. The metal billet was devoid of any impurity, so the quality of the medicinal cauldron was very good.

    " Now, Time to inscribe the Flowing Water River Diagram." Yang Shi put down his hammer as he started the inscription.

    The Flowing Water River Diagram carries great importance to an alchemist. With such a diagram on the cauldron, the chances of failure during pill refinement decrease considerably.

    Moreover, the flow of spiritual qi inside the cauldron will be much smoother.

    But of course, not all cksmiths could make Flowing Water River Cauldron. Along with forging, they need to spend time researching the diagrams, which is veryplex.

    But with the memory andprehension of the Samsara Emperor, Yang Shi understood all sorts of Spirit diagrams and rune formations. Yang Shi can easily craft treasures with various spirit diagrams.

    Yang Shi was already experienced with the inscription of Spirit Diagrams. Now, he does not even use his Celestial View while inscribing the spirit diagram.

    For Yang Shi, Metal qi was something he was most familiar with. With his Gold Devil Seal, the cauldron''s exterior was decorated easily.

    Yang Shi finished making the Flowing Water River Diagram after two hours. He looked at the finished product with satisfied eyes.

    The cauldron looked beautiful with the designs outside. Because of the Flowing Water River Diagram, the cauldron''s interior had a shine of blue light. This cauldron was perfect for alchemists with the Water attribute.

    Yang Shi took out a seal as he stamped it in the bottom of the cauldron. Yang Shi specially designed the seal as his signature. It looked like an insignia with a hammer and seven stars revolving around it.

    " Well, I hope Elder Cheng would like it." Yang Shi checked the cauldron as he went to practice his inscription.

    Yang Shi felt that, with his increased soul qi, he can make seven Rank one talismans in a day. Yang Shi was also practicing making other talismans besides the Fireball Talisman.

    " This is Earth Shield Talisman and Water Arrow Talisman. Although they are all rank one talismans, it can help me to boost my experience." Yang Shi pondered.

    These talismans are useless for him, but for low grade cultivators, these are treasures. Yang Shi decided to give some of them to Wen Ran.

    " Unfortunately, My soul strength isn''t enough for rank two talismans." Yang Shi sighed as he put down his brush.

    Yang Shi wasn''t dispirited. Since he already found ways to recover back his soul strength, Yang Shi was only worried about his foundation root.

    " I have already solved the problem of soul strength, however my foundation roots" Yang Shi''s expression turned a bit ugly as he thought about it.

    Although his Internal Energy had suppressed the evil ck thing in his pce roots, without removing it, Yang Shi can''t break through to Violet Pce Expansion Realm.

    " I think I should focus on my body refinement and soul cultivation." Yang Shi sighed as he got up. He took out some Perception Stones as he absorbed the soul qi from them.

    Soon, Yang Shi reached the thirdyer of the Myriad Soul Controlling Technique. Yang Shi felt his soul tremble as the soul qi revolved around his soul. The soul qi became another shade clearer.

    "Yang Shi exhaled a mouthful of turbid air as he looked around. He closed his eyes as he used his divine sense. Even in darkness, he could feel the things around him, more clearly in fact.

    5 meters, 10 meters, 50 meters, yang Shi''s divine sense spread like a wave. Yang Shi smiled as he opened his eyes.

    Divine sense is like a sixth sense of cultivator. Not only does it allow perceiving the things around them more clearly, but it also helps them toprehend the essence of nature.

    Even without looking, nothing in the radius of 50 meters can escape Yang Shi''s perception. That''s why low level stealth techniques are useless in front of Violet Pce Expansion Realm experts.

    " With a little more, I will finally be able to split my soul to create a subsidiary soul." Yang Shi pondered. Since there was enough time, Yang Shi melted his ready made billets and poured them into the weapon molds.

    The molten metal took shape of the mold as Yang Shi rapidly drew Spirit Diagram over them. Yang Shi wasn''t using any special Spirit Diagram, so casting Spirit Diagrams on them was very easy.

    Yang Shi could work on three to five weapons at a single time, and each of them was high tier Spirit grade weapons.

    Yang Shi made around thirty weapons in a single night. After he felt exhausted, he went back to sleep. Another day had passed peacefully.

    Yang Shi had given two spirit stones to Bai Ruxue. Her cultivation speed was something even Yang Shi became astonished at. She already reached the peak of seventh stage of the Primordial Spirit Realm, just a step away from the Eighth stage.

    " I should try to awake her soul before she reaches Violet Pce Expansion Realm. It will increase her potential to another level." Yang Shi pondered.

    For others, awakening the soul before Violet Pce Expansion Realm is impossible, but not for Yang Shi. Moreover, since he can use his divine sense now, he has more confidence.

    Yang Shi went to his shop as he saw Elder Cheng was already sitting there. Yang Shi was slightly surprised as Elder Cheng was much early.

    " Haha, It seems Elder Cheng is impatient." Yang Shi chuckled as he sat in front of Elder Cheng.

    " Not really. I just want to see if you already made the medicinal cauldron." Elder Cheng nodded.

    Elder Cheng just came to check because he was currently free. He really didn''t believe that Yang Shi could have finished forging the cauldron. After all, taking a week for it is no big deal.

    " Elder Cheng, please appraise this." Yang Shi waved his hands as arge cauldron appeared from his spatial ring.

    Elder Cheng''s eyes widened as he touched the cauldron. He checked it carefully as his brows raised.

    " Flowing Water River Diagram, ayer of North Bronze Essence, Quasi True grade medicinal cauldron. Hahaha!" Elder Cheng couldn''t help butugh loudly.

    " This cauldron is truly best for my disciple. To think you forged such a cauldron in three days. Here is your payment." Elder Cheng took out a small pouch and gave it to Yang Shi.

    Yang Shi saw there are five spirit stones, along with a golden badge.

    " This badge is from True Alchemy Hall. When you show this badge in True Alchemy Hall, you will get a twenty percent discount on your purchase there." Elder Cheng exined.

    " Oh, Thanks for it, Elder Cheng." Yang Shi nodded.

    " Errm, This is also for you." Elder Cheng''s gaze turned odd as he handed a porcin bottle to Yang Shi. " Yang Shi, Do you know Elder Lu?"

    " Eh, I don''t."

    Yang Shi was startled as he shook his head. But he realized what was inside the bottle, It was Soul Nourishing Pills.

    " Eh, Master Bao is sure efficient." Yang Shi chuckled inwardly.

    " Strange." Elder Cheng mumbled as he left. His mood was very good as he acquired the medicinal cauldron.

    " Such a young cksmith is rare. I should help him a little more." Elder Cheng thought.

    Yang Shi was excited as he looked at the bottle of Soul Nourishing Pills. He checked and saw five of them were low grade and one pill was the medium grade.

    " Well, Better than nothing." Yang Shi shrugged.

    People already starteding to his store, especially those who already ced orders the day before.

    " Aright peoples. Your orders are ready!"

 Chapter 262: Splitting Soul

    Chapter 262: Splitting Soul

    Yang Shi wished for utilizing the potency of the Soul Nourishing Pill to its maximum. So, he forged some silver needles. However, these are not ordinary silver needles.

    They are made from Profound Silver ores, which are used as supplementary materials while forging True grade weapons.

    However, equipment made from purely Profound Silver ore isn''t much powerfulpared to even spirit grade weapons.

    Yang Shi forged thirty six needles, each of them was like strands of hair. Although their attacking capability is low. Yang Shi made them for different purposes.

    Yang Shi started to inscribe rank one talisman as he circted his soul qi. He made talismans till his soul qi was almost depleted. When he saw his soul qi was depletedpletely, he stopped making talismans.

    Yang Shi took off his clothes as he sat in the lotus position. Yang Shi took the needles and pierced them in his acupoints. Yang Shi took out all Soul Nourishing Pills and popped them into his mouth.

    Before swallowing them, he pierced thest needle on his forehead. After every needle were in their ce, Yang Shi swallowed the pills.

    These silver needles are very good to stimte his body. This technique was called Samadhi Tranquility Acupuncture Art.

    With this acupuncture technique, Yang Shi can easily enter a trance state, where his subconscious mind will be active. The Samadhi state is like a semi death state, where the soul hovers between illusions and reality.

    Yang Shi wished to squeeze all the essence from the pills, without wasting a single bit. So, he emptied all his soul qi before he started to absorb them.

    The Soul Nourishing Pills melted in his dantian as the medicinal energy roared. The energy circted all through the thirty six acupoints before getting absorbed by the Yang Shi''s soul.

    Yang Shi already drained all usable soul qi from his sea of consciousness, so the medicinal energy poured into his sea of consciousness like a flood of water in a desert.

    Yang Shi activated the Myriad Soul Controlling Technique as the medicinal energy turned into soul qi and was devoured by his soul.

    Yang Shi''s soul glowed with a pale light as it started to grow bit by bit. His soul was already much smallerpared to other cultivators, but now, it was gaining back its size.

    The Soul Nourishing pill Yang Shi ate was a medium-tier pill, so it has quite an amount of unrefined herb essence. Pills with unrefined essence were hard to refine by cultivators.

    Moreover, while absorbing the pill''s energy, most of the medicinal energy gets dispersed. It means that the cultivator absorbed only half a pill''s worth of medicinal energy.

    Higher the pill tier, easier to digest it as it contains a low amount of unrefined essence.

    Yang Shi could feel his sea of consciousness was spilling some unrefined essence. After all, a normal cultivator would have eaten Soul Nourishing Pills one by one, unlike Yang Shi who ate all of them in one go.

    Eating too many pills at the same time can be harmful as some cultivators couldn''t handle the sudden burst of arge amount of medicinal energy. But it wasn''t an issue for Yang Shi.

    The Myriad Soul Controlling Form was helping Yang Shi to control his soul without an obstruction. Moreover, the technique also purified his soul qi.

    The levels of the Myriad Soul Controlling form rose quickly as Yang Shi''s soul became bigger and bigger. Yang Shi could feel that a pair of eyes has appeared on his soul, making it look a bit weird.

    However, Yang Shi was ted because this indicates that his soul had reached a certain stage in terms of purity.

    Yang Shi could feel a vast amount of medicinal energy leaking from his sea of consciousness. If he was an ordinary cultivator, he would have helplessly watched the medicinal energy dissipate away.

    But the moment Yang Shi saw the medicinal qi spilling, he activated his Internal Energy. His Internal Energy churned as the unrefined essence got dragged by.

    Yang Shi felt no problem grinding the unrefined essence with his Internal Energy. The unrefined essence got refined by the Internal Energy as Yang Shi diverted back to his soul.

    With such a method, Yang Shi didn''t have to worry about wasting medicinal energy.

    Yang Shi suddenly felt that his Myriad Soul Controlling Form halted as he became confused.

    " Oh? It seems I reached the minor threshold stage of the Myriad Soul Controlling Form. Very well, I should try to split my soul now."

    Yang Shi stopped using the medicinal qi as he changed the incantations of Myriad Soul Controlling Form.

    His divine sense condensed in his sea of consciousness as it wrapped around his soul. His divine sense took a shape of a knife as it lowly cut his soul.

    *HISS*

    Yang Shi sucked breath of cold air as he endured the pain of splitting his soul. He felt an intense paining from his soul, but he didn''t realize that it will increase further.

    But Yang Shi''s expression changed as he felt the Azure Lotus and Crimson Lily in his dantian started humming.

    He felt the knife made from divine sense seemed to be suddenly out of his control. Blue and the red light shed as the knife suddenly changed its direction.

    " THE FUCK!!!"

    Yang Shi almost cursed aloud as the divine sense started to cut a part of his soul.

    Yang Shi initially wished to cut a tenth of his soul to create a subsidiary soul. However, due to the influence of the Azure Lotus and Crimson Lily, the knife was about to cut a fourth of his soul.

    It was indeed arge part of his soul. A slight mistake will lead him to death.

    " My dear primordial spirits, please don''t do this!!"

    Yang Shi almost burst into tears as the pain increased. At that moment, he felt his body will copse.

    The pain wasn''t something physical, it was a strange mental pain. Yang Shi could only grit his teeth and try to endure the pain. He didn''t forget to continue using the Myriad Soul Controlling form.

    " END! FUCKING END THIS!"

    Yang Shi screamed in his heart as his soul was separated. The knife didn''t take long as it separated a fourth of his soul.

    Suddenly, Yang Shi felt the pain vanish as his main soul became smaller again, though it was still bigger when it was injured. Yang Shi didn''t waste any time as he devoured all remaining medicinal energy crazily.

    Yang Shi initially thought that the remaining medicinal energy would fully heal his main soul after he cut a tenth from it. However, now a fourth of it now gone, the medicinal energy is pretty insufficient to heal his main soul.

    The knife made from divine sense didn''t vanish as it was still in control of his primordial spirits. Yang Shi could feel a thin line connecting his subsidiary soul and main soul.

    The knife moved again as it shed the subsidiary soul into two perfect halves. Although Yang Shi felt a stinging pain, it was nothingpared to his previous pain.

    The two subsidiary souls drifted to the two flowers. Both Azure Lotus and Crimson Lily ate one subsidiary soul.

    Yang Shi almost fainted from shock and anger. It was another thing to eat soul qi, but the Azure Lotus and Crimson Lily ate a part of his soul. Yang Shi wished he could cry, but no tear came from his eyes.

    But contrary to his surprise, he could still feel his connection with both of his subsidiary souls.

    " Strange, What is happening?"

 Chapter 263: Awakening Bai Ruxues Soul

    Chapter 263: Awakening Bai Ruxue''s Soul

    Before reaching the ninthyer of the first stage, one can only have one subsidiary soul ording to the Myriad Soul Controlling Technique.

    However, Yang Shi could feel the connection with two of his subsidiary soul. But no matter how much he searched, he couldn''t find them.

    Yang Shi pondered a while when suddenly, the Azure Lotus and Crimson Lily in his dantian shed again. Yang Shi saw that the two flowers looked even livelier. He tried to activate them with his spiritual qi.

    Yang Shi focused as he activated the Myriad Soul Controlling Form. He was surprised to find that there were two flows of soul qi in his body. One was from his main soul and the second wasing from the Azure Lotus.

    The soul qiing from the Azure Lotus was slightly azure in color. But Yang Shi was able to merge them to use at once. He felt the radius of his divine sense double and it also became steadier.

    What shocked Yang Shi most was the power of his soul qi. Even though his main soul is small now, the power of his soul qi was doubled. Yang Shi realized that the azure colored soul qi can increase the power and tangibility of his soul qi.

    Since his sea of consciousness was brimming with soul qi, Yang Shi decided to give it a try. He took out his talisman brush and paper and started making talismans.

    His hands moved quickly as he drew patterns on the paper. Yang Shi was surprised to see that his consumption of soul qi was decreased and his speed of inscription has increased.

    Previously, Yang Shi took around thirty minutes to make a rank one talisman. But now, It barely took ten minutes to craft one.

    Yang Shi crafted more than ten rank one talismans and still felt that he still had quite an amount of soul qi.

    " With such a soul strength, I can finally make True grade weapons." Yang Shi was ted.

    Although he didn''t know why the Azure Lotus and Crimson Lily would act like that, it looks like a blessing in disguise. At least the Azure Lotus spirit helped him to increase his soul strength.

    " Young master, Are you ok?!"

    Bai Ruxue opened the door as she went inside. Not before long, She heard some groaning sound from Yang Shi''s room.

    When she opened the door, she covered her mouth in shock. Yang Shi was sitting cross leggedpletely naked, with his entire body bathed in sweat.

    " Ah, Ruxue, Why are you here?" Yang Shi was surprised as he asked.

    " I heard some soundsing from your room. You master, please put on some clothes." Bai Ruxue giggled as she spoke.

    Then Yang Shi realized that he was sitting naked, but he didn''t mind as he stood up. Moreover, his little brother had already gotten up to greet Bai Ruxue.

    " It''s not like you never saw my full body. This is my ce, I can do whatever I want." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Young master, You are so shameless!" Bai Ruxue couldn''t help buts spat.

    " Hehe!" Yang Shi suddenly moved as he grabbed Bai Ruxue by her waist. With his nimble hands, he took off the dress of Bai Ruxue.

    " See? Now, we are both naked." Yang Shiughed as he looked at Bai Ruxue''s stunning body.

    " Ahh, Young master! You big baddie!" Bai Ruxue realized what happened as she hammered her fists on Yang Shi''s chest. But all Yang Shi felt was ticklish.

    " Anyway, Ruxue, I have an important matter to discuss." Yang Shi took her to the bed as he spoke with a straight face.

    " Important matter? On the bed?" Bai Ruxue stared at Yang Shi with judging eyes.

    " Errm, It''s not what you think." Yang Shi understood what Bai Ruxue meant as he was embarrassed. Although he would like to do it, he had a more important task on hand.

    " I have a method to awake your soul before reaching Violet Pce Expansion Realm. So, are you ready?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Young master, Is it really possible?"

    Bai Ruxue asked with a hopeful gaze. She knew that only those blessed by heaven can awaken their soul before reaching Violet Pce Expansion Realm.

    " You have Nine Yin Empyrean Physique, an Immortal physique with the technique of Jade Empyrean Heavenly Art. Even without external help, awakening your soul will be much easier." Yang Shi exined.

    Bai Ruxue nodded as shey on the bed. Yang Shi quickly used his acupuncture technique as he pricked the needles in Bai Ruxue''s acupoints.

    The final needle was inserted in the middle of his forehead as Yang Shi gently used his soul qi. The stands of soul qi went through the needles as it concentrated near Bai Ruxue''s forehead.

    " Bai Ruxue, Focus near your forehead. Feel the doorway of your soul and open it." Yang Shi used his divine sense to transmit his thought.

    " Yo-Young master?!" Bai Ruxue became drowsy as she mumbled.

    She suddenly felt she was in a dark ce, with no traces of light. He could hear the echoes of Yang Shi''s voice, but she couldn''t grasp the direction.

    " Young master, Where are you!" She shouted loudly. She tried to move, but she felt there were invisible shackles around her.

    " Come to me, Ruxue!" Yang Shi''s voice echoed again.

    Bai Ruxue mustered her strength as she tried to break the invisible chains. Suddenly, he circted her cultivation technique as she used her Jade Yin qi.

    Bit by bit, she stood up as she started to walk. The more she used the Jade Yin qi, the easier she could move.

    Suddenly, she saw a dot of light far away. Even though it was a small dot, its radiance pierced through the darkness.

    Bai Ruxue dashed toward the dot of light, but suddenly she was again blocked by an invisible wall.

    " Break! BREAK!" Bai Ruxue bombarded the invisible wall with all of her strength. Although she could hear a subtle cracking sound, the wall was still there.

    " Young master, I can''t break it!" Bai Ruxue muttered.

    " Don''t worry, I am here." Yang Shi''s voice echoed as the dot of light became bigger and bigger.

    Bai Ruxue suddenly saw the dot of light near her as it slowly took humanoid shape. It''s finally turned into the shape of Yang Shi.

    " Young master!" She tried to grab him, but the invisible wall blocked her.

    " Let me help you." Yang Shi''s soul qi spoke as he put his hands on the invisible wall.

    Bai Ruxue also put her hands there. Suddenly, she felt the entire space was rumbling as cracking sounds spread.

    Bai Ruxue suddenly felt a burst of mental calmness, as if she was floating in the air. She felt she could sense every change in her body and her surrounding.

    Her body became bright like Yang Shi''s figure as she was finally able to touch him. But the moment she touched, Yang Shi''s figure vanished like smoke.

    Bai Ruxue''s eyes slowly opened as she saw Yang Shi was sitting beside her. She felt her perception has been increased and there was another type of energy she could use.

    " See, Ruxue? You can use your soul qi now." Yang Shi smiled.

    " Back then? How did you enter in me, Young Master?" Bai Ruxue asked.

    " Entered in you? I didn''t do anything while you were unconscious?"

    Yang Shi''s expression turned odd. Although Bai Ruxue was lying naked, Yang Shi already restrained his thoughts.

    Bai Ruxue blushed as she was misunderstood. " I mean, That ce, How did you appear out of thin air?"

    " Oh, That? I used my divine sense to stimte your soul. That was my manifestation of soul qi." Yang Shi answered as he removed all the needles.

    " Ruxue, You are covered in sweat. Let''s go and clean ourselves." Yang Shi chuckled as he gulped his saliva.

    But before Bai Ruxue could answer, Yang Shi frowned as he heard somemotion outside.

    " Sigh, Ruxue, You go and take a bath.. I will go outside."

 Chapter 264: Astonishment

    Chapter 264: Astonishment

    Yang Shi was very irritated as his sexy time with Bai Ruxue just poofed.

    " Which bastard is seeking death today?" Yang Shi mumbled as he wore his robe and got down.

    His eyes squinted as he saw two luxurious carriages outside his store. Yang Shi wondered which noble family hade here.

    " Greeting guests, How can I help you?" Yang Shi asked with a smiling face. His boorish face changed instantly.

    " Are you the manager here?" A young man asked as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " Yes, indeed." Yang Shi nodded, but suddenly he stopped as he gazed at the person standing beside the young man.

    " HUH?" The second young man was also surprised to see Yang Shi. Instantly, his expression turned ugly.

    " Hehe, Such a fortune I have that Young master Xu came here today." Yang Shi''s lips cursed as he looked at Xu Ao.

    " Heh, to think it is your store. Brother Ming, let''s go to the ck Armament Store." Xu Ao sneered as he spoke.

    " But brother Ao, This shop has been quite popr these days. Are you an acquaintance with the manager here?" Xu Ming asked curiously.

    " Ah, So it must be young master Ming. Don''t mind Xu Ao, pleasee inside." Yang Shiughed as he dragged Xu Ming inside.

    " Fuck." Xu Ao cursed as he went after them.

    Although Yang Shi had some shing with Xu Ao before, his impression of Xu Ao isn''t bad. Moreover, This Xu Ming here looks like a fat sheep. Yang Shi would never let such a chance go wasted.

    " Hmph, Surname Yang, You might be able to fool ordinary folks, But not me. Brother Ming, There are many other famous Master rank cksmiths in Azure Wind City."

    " It is a waste of time here." Xu Ao spoke.

    " Heh, Xu Ao, It seems you still have your arrogance, eh? Have you forgotten what happenedst time?" Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed as he spoke.

    " Do you think this is the same as thest time? I challenge you to a duel!" Xu Ao jumped as he raged.

    Yang Shi gazed at Xu Ao for some time, then he averted his gaze to Xu Ming, " So, Brother Ming, What thing you wished to be forged?"

    " I thought you will first show the products of this store?" Xu Ming was surprised.

    " Haha, As Xu Ao said, those are for ordinary people. Since Brother Xu Ming is the rising star of Xu n, How can I present him with such things?" Yang Shiughed.

    Yang Shi knew the identity of Xu Ming. He was the fifth son of the Patriarch of Xu n, while Xu Ao was the only son of the First Elder. Yang Shi felt that he could make a fortune out of Xu Ming.

    " I am ttered. I wonder if Manager Yang has some good spears?" Xu Ming smiled as he asked.

    " Spears, eh? Before that, I wish to know what battle technique Brother Xu practices?" Yang Shi thought as he asked.

    " Brother Ming already reached the Minor Completion stage of Falling Petals Spear Art. It is a Mystic Grade technique with Earth attribute." Xu Ao spoke proudly.

    " An Earth attribute Technique? Brother Ming, Do you have any specifications for your spear?" Yang Shi asked again.

    " You are asking too many questions." Xu Ao cut it.

    " I am talking with Brother Ming, not you." Yang Shi red at him.

    " Nothing specific, but the spear needs to be stic with a heavier spear tip." Xu Ming spoke. " Actually, A high tier Spirit grade spear will be enough."

    " Alright, I understood everything. Brother Ming, why don''t you take Xu Ao and have something in Floating Cloud Restaurant? By then, I would have already finished your weapon." YANG Shi said.

    " Well, That won''t be bad. What do say, Brother Ao?" Xu Ming looked at Xu Ao.

    " Whatever, We will be back in an hour." Xu Ming nodded as he went downstairs with Xu Ao.

    Yang Shi rubbed his chin as he thought for a while. Making a Quasi True grade weapon is not hard for him, much less a high tier Spirit grade weapon. One hour was enough for him.

    " Hmm, Brother Ao, it seems you have quite some past with Manager Yang, eh?" Xu Ming chuckled as they sat in the Floating Cloud Restaurant.

    " Hmph, That guy defeated me in past. Moreover, I also heard that Yue Wuji already suffered twice in his hands, but not anymore." Xu Ao spoke.

    " I have achieved minorpletion in Burning Sky Saber Art. With my primordial spirit, It won''t be easy to defeat me."

    " Strange, Why didn''t I hear of him before? Which faction does he belong?" Xu Ming was astonished.

    " I don''t know, he is very low key. But being honest, his strength isn''t bad." Xu Ao shook his head.

    " But Brother Ming can easily defeat him. After all, You already reach Quasi Violet Pce Expansion Realm." Xu Aoughed.

    " You tter me too much, junior brother. You will soon reach the Ninth stage of Primordial Spirit realm." Xu Ming smiled.

    " Wow, I never thought Floating Cloud Restaurant still serve such great dishes. Brother Ming, taste the shrimps." Xu Ao spoke as he focused on eating.

    After they ate lunch, they returned to the True Treasure Hall. Yang Shi was already sitting on the chair, waiting for them.

    " Wee back, esteemed guests. I hope the eating has been satisfactory?" Yang Shi smiled.

    " Enough chit chat, now hurry and show the weapon." Xu Ao cut in. He didn''t wish to give Yang Shi any extra minute.

    " Very well, Please see this." Yang Shi flicked his hands as a seven feet spear appeared in his hands. It was shining like bright silver.

    Xu Ming held it as he checked its weight. It weighed around 300kg, but he didn''t have any problem wielding it.

    " Hmm, This is a fine high tier Spirit grade spear. Its shaft is also broad. Very good piece indeed." Xu Ming spoke, but he was slightly disappointed in his heart.

    Although this spear was good, Xu Ming still had some high expectations. Moreover, the material in this spear looked normal.

    " Well, Although this spear is good, it doesn''t fit for Brother Ming." Yang Shi shook his head.

    " What do you mean?" Xu Ming asked in confusion.

    " Let me show you another spear." Yang Shiughed as another spear appeared in his hands. Compared to the previous one, itcked shine and luster.

    However, it emitted a deep and ancient vibe. The spear tip was giving a very powerful impression. Moreover, the runic designs on it made it look like a military spear.

    Xu Ming was surprised as the new spear weighed around 700kg. Moreover, it resonated with the Earth attribute battle technique he had practiced.

    " My, my, A Quasi True grade spear with deep Earth Attribute!" Xu Ming''s blood rushed as he held tightly.

    " Brother Yang, is it really something that you have made in one hour?" Xu Ming asked in a deep tone.

    " Sure, Does brother Ming have doubts about my capabilities?" Yang Shiughed. " Hahaha, Good, Very good." Xu Mingughed loudly as he handed a pouch to Yang Shi.

    " Keep this, Brother Yang. I am taking this spear." Xu Mingughed as he wielded it. Yang Shi saw ten spirit stones in the pouch, so his smile became brighter as he nodded.

    Xu Ao''s face turned dark as he saw the whole scene. He never expected Yang Shi to be such a proficient cksmith.

    " Eh, Brother Ao, Didn''t you also wish to forge something?" Xu Ming looked at Xu Ao as he suddenly asked.

    " I" Xu Ao became speechless as Yang Shi was grinning at him.

 Chapter 265: Volcanic Warrior Set

    Chapter 265: Volcanic Warrior Set

    Xu Ao came along with Xu Ming because he wanted to buy a Fan type weapon. The Primordial Spirit of the Xu n is the ming Fan. So, Xu Ao wished to find a treasure that couldplement his Primordial Spirit.

    The ming Fan is a Fire attribute Primordial Spirit. It can be used as an offensive technique as well as in Alchemy. That''s why Xu Ao was already a peak Adept alchemist.

    It''s a Royal grade Primordial Spirit and can be evolved to Imperial grade. But evolving a Primordial Spirit is very hard.

    " Hmph, I am not in a hurry to refine that treasure. Brother Ming, Since you have gotten your spear, let''s depart." Xu Ao said hurriedly.

    " Hahaha, Junior Brother, don''t be so hasty. I am sure Brother Yang isn''t someone who remembers grudges." Xu Mingughed.

    " I am very curious, what treasure you are talking about?" Yang Shi asked.

    " It''s a Three Colored me Fan." Xu Ming borated.

    There was a book called-" Record of Wondrous Treasures". It was an elementary book for those who are interested in treasures.

    Although it doesn''t contain the refinement technique, this book contains the records and power of thousands of treasures forged by cksmiths. Its main point is to increase the creativity of cksmiths.

    " Three colored me Fan, isn''t it is a True grade artifact?" Yang Shi spoke.

    " Brother Ming, Although I can forge Quasi True grade artifacts, that is my limit. I can''t forge True grade weapons at the moment."

    " Haha, Brother Yang is worrying too much. Junior brother Ao only wishes to refine a replica. Although Three Colored me Fan is a True grade treasure, even our Xu n doesn''t have it."

    The Three Colored me Fan is a treasure tailor-made for alchemists. With this treasure, their Spirit me will consume less amount of spiritual qi. Moreover, it helps to regte the me intensity during pill concoction.

    When refining pills of rank four and higher, the demand for uracy increases tremendously. That''s why only those who have soul qi and use divine sense can refine such pills and treasures.

    " Hmm, I can make a replica. Although its power will be limited to Quasi True rank, it will be enough for rank three pills." Yang Shi spoke. " However, I need materials, three sets of it."

    " Of course, I will deliver them as soon as possible." Xu Ming nodded.

    " Brother Yang is so talented, are you alsoing to the Royal Pce for the banquet tonight?" Xu Ming asked.

    " Banquet? Royal pce?" Yang Shi became confused.

    " Wait, You didn''t receive an invitation?" Xu Ming wondered. Yang Shi''s face became even more confused.

    " Since he is not invited, let''s not talk about that. Brother Ming, We have to go now." Xu Ao spoke as he dragged Xu Ming away.

    Yang Shi shook his head as he gazed at the spirit stones. Finally, he felt the richness of being a cksmith.

    Yang Shi was already sweaty from before, so he hurried to take a bath. He already closed the shop for today, so he could rx a bit. But again, someone knocked on the door.

    When Yang Shi opened it, there was a soldier standing, wearing silver armor.

    " Are you the manager of True Treasure Hall, Yang Shi?" The soldier asked politely.

    " Yes, How may I help you?" Yang Shi was surprised as he asked.

    " Noble Yang, You have been invited to the Rose Pce for the banquet of the Your Highness Second Prince. " The soldier bowed slightly as he passed a golden scroll to Yang Shi.

    " Banquet? Why, is it some special asion?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Today is the birthday of Second Prince, so he invited all the leading young figures of the Capital city." The soldier spoke.

    " Fine, I will see." Yang Shi nodded as he said.

    The soldier looked at Yang Shi as he turned to leave. Yang Shi closed the door and threw the scroll to the side. He had no intention to go to the banquet.

    " Heh, That ce is literally a minefield. The chances of a big fight happening are hundred percent. I am not going there." Yang Shi snorted as he thought.

    But suddenly, he felt that he should go. Currently, he and the Second Prince are almost enemies as Yang Shi was unofficially a person from the First Prince''s faction.

    Knowing the enemy''s strengths and weakness is necessary. Yang Shi felt he should at least see the faces of Princes.

    " Since it''s a banquet, I need to give some gifts. But well, I don''t think anyone would expect anything from such an unknown person like me." Yang Shiughed.

    The banquet will start in the night, so Yang Shi had plenty of time. Yang Shi went to the forge to make something new.

    " Although I am currently at the peak of Master rank cksmith and can create anything bellow True grade stage, there is still another thing I haven''t made." Yang Shi thought.

    People felt that forging Quasi True grade weapon is the peak of Master stage cksmith, but that is not so.

    Yang Shi decided to make a whole Set of Quasi True grade treasures. Set weapons function like set weapons in a RPG game.

    With many Quasi True grade treasuresplementing each other, their power can reach even the True grade.

    However, making a set is more difficult than forging singr Quasi True grade treasures. One needs to study the workings of spirit diagrams closely and understand their property.

    Moreover, they need to make corresponding spirit diagrams in all pieces of the set. The spirit diagrams of each piece must connect with each other like a jigsaw puzzle.

    A slight mistake and everything could be ruined instantly. That''s why not many people know how to make set weapons.

    " Set weapons are also important for the military. A troop of hundred soldiers wearing powerful sets of treasures can create an army formation to take down ten thousand soldiers of the same realm."

    Yang Shi decided to forge a set of treasures called Volcanic Warrior''s set. It consists of three pieces- Volcanic Armor, Lava Sword, and Helmet of Fire.

    Each piece is Quasi True grade treasure. Wearing the armor, the cultivator''s resistance towards Fire qi increases by three folds. Moreover, their Fire attribute battle technique bes more powerful.

    Yang Shi was already proficient in making Quasi True grade weapons, so making it will only take slightly more effort. It took almost took three hours to make the whole Volcanic Warrior''s set.

    The armor was giving a bright red light with a shade of golden. The spirit diagram on it looked like veins of flowingva. The helmet and sword werepletely matched with the aura of the armor.

    Yang Shi was very satisfied to see the armor. He put it into his spatial ring as he looked outside.

    " Hmm, It should be time. I should visit Mo Yi before going to the banquet." Yang Shi thought.

    " Ruxue, I am going to attend a banquet, so I will bete. As for Jin Yu, where is she?" Yang Shi suddenly asked.

    " She is helping Wen Ran downstairs. She is helping him. In return, Wen Ran makes various dishes for her." Bai Ruxueughed.

    " That''s good." Yang Shi muttered. He wore a costly robe and went to the Mo n.

    " Eh? Brother Yang, you are also invited to the banquet?" Mo Yi asked. " Wonderful, we can go together." He said with an exciting voice.

    " What is there to be so excited about?" Yang Shi spoke.

    " Hehe, Brother Yang, it seems you don''t know much. Come, let me exin you.." Mo Yiughed.

 Chapter 266: Arrival Of Second Prince

    Chapter 266: Arrival Of Second Prince

    " The Second Prince''s faction is currently very strong. It is by no means weaker than the first prince''s faction. Both factions are contenting fiercely with each other."

    " You see, The Rose Pce is a very fun ce. Not any average person can go there. Since today is the birthday of the Second Prince, it will be filled by all the young geniuses

    of the nation."

    " Not to mention, all the pretty young misses of prominent ns and sects will be also there. Hehe, Can you imagine? A garden full of pretty flowers." Mo Yiughed.

    " Hehe, I wonder if Sister Jie is alsoing? Brother, are you not afraid of her?" Yang Shi jested.

    " Fear?! Who fears whom? It''s verymon to have three wives and six concubines." Mo Yi spoke righteously.

    " As long as you can handle." Yang Shi shrugged.

    " Sister Ruxue isn''ting with us?" Mo Yi asked. " No." Yang Shi shook his head.

    " Brother Mo, have you bought any gifts?" Yang Shi asked.

    " Indeed, we are going to the birthday of a Prince, of course, I brought one. I have bought a one thousand year old Blue Cloud grass. It can be directly digested or can be used to make rank four pills."

    " Thousand year old Blue Cloud Grass is indeed a treasure for Violet Pce Expansion Realm experts. Eh, to think Mo n would allow you to gift this." Yang Shi sighed.

    Being a Prince is really beneficial. Not only you get top tier cultivation materials and techniques, but you will be also backed by a powerful faction. Yang Shi couldn''t help but be envious.

    " Well, Although it''s priceless formon people, It will be just an expensive item for the Second Prince. Hell, I wonder what sorts of treasures he keeps in his warehouse."

    " A Quasi Earth grade treasure or a Heaven grade technique is not out of question." Yang Shi chuckled.

    " Yeh." Mo Yi nodded.

    They quickly went past the Inner city and arrived in the Core City. Yang Shi could see the vast majestic buildings. The Royal Castle looked like a small town itself.

    The armored guards wearing the symbols of the Royal n stood everywhere, monitoring the entire Core City.

    Suddenly, Mo Yi and Yang arrived in a garden. Yang Shi could see various kinds of flowers, exotic and beautiful. However, there were more roses here.

    " Brother Yang, we have arrived in the Rose Pce. This is the abode of Second Prince." Mo Yi spoke.

    Suddenly, Two ck armored guards appeared in front of them as they blocked the way.

    Yang Shi and Mo Yi both showed the golden scrolls. The guards looked at them and went back, They didn''t utter a single word.

    Yang Shi''s eyes narrowed slightly as he could see a cloud of darkness over them, thanks to his Celestial View.

    Yang Shi could see that these two guards were at Quasi Violet Pce Expansion Realm. But what is more dreadful is the aura of darkness.

    " It seems like they cultivate some forbidden technique which saps their vitality in exchange for explosive strength."

    " If a dozen of them fights against a genuine Violet Pce Expansion Realm, they might not fall in disadvantage." Yang Shi thought.

    Yang Shi and Mo Yi entered a vast hall, where it was crowded by youths. Each of them wore costly robes and dresses. Rich young masters and pretty young misses, all of them were here.

    " Eh? Brother Yang? Brother in Law?" Liu Jiang shouted as he saw them.

    Yang Shi raised his brows and Liu Jiang was surrounded by three girls. He already noticed him before, From looks, he looked like boasting in front of those girls.

    " You see, He is my Brother in Law, the second young master of Mo n, Mo Yi. And this is our new young, rising Master cksmith Yang Shi." Liu Jie introduced them to the girls.

    " Master grade cksmith? Young master Mo?" The girls were surprised. They all knew Mo Yi''s identity but hearing that Yang Shi is a Master grade cksmith, they all felt shocked.

    " Hehe, I greet the esteemed young masters. " One of the girls giggled as she crept closer to Mo Yi. Of course, Mo Yi was more than happy to apany her.

    " Cough, Cough." Yang Shi coughed lightly as he already detected danger. But Mo Yi didn''t notice it.

    " Eh? Are you ill, Brother Yang? Why not have a cup of" Liu Jiangughed but his face suddenly froze.

    " El-Elder Sister?!" Liu Jiang almost spat his wine as he saw Liu Jie was standing silently behind Mo Yi. Yang Shi smacked his forehead.

    " What happened, guys?" Mo Yi was confused as he turned to see. The girl beside him already hugged his shoulder.

    Mo Yi''s eyes sprang in horror as he saw Liu Jie was standing behind him. She suddenly smiled, a very sweet smile. But Mo Yi almost jumped to flee. To him, this smile was no different than the face of death.

    " Ah, What is your name, sister? How do you know Young master Mo?" She politely asked the girl.

    " I just met Young master Mo." The girl answered.

    " Let me introduce myself, I am the young miss of Liu n, Fianc of Mo Yi, Liu Jie." Liu Jie smiled.

    " Ah, I see. So, It''s Sister Jie." The girl smiled awkwardly. She could feel the faint oppressive auraing from Liu Jie. Having enough understanding, she and other girls hurriedly took their leave.

    " Liu Jie, It''s not what you think. She was Liu Jiang''s friend. Yeh, He is the one who took her to me." Mo Yi hurriedly said. Unfortunately, Liu Jie''s fingers already pinched Mo Yi''s waist. Mo Yi'' whelped in pain

    " Huh? HUH?! Brother in Law, how can you push me to the pit this easily?" Liu Jiang cried as Liu Jie''s gaze fell on her.

    " Ahem, Sister Jie, I can vouch for brother Mo." Yang Shi coughed as he spoke lightly.

    Liu Jie sighed as he looked at all of them. " You guys are all hopeless." She spoke.

    " Sister, We are just having some fun. Are we supposed to sit and gossip like women?" Liu Jiang grumbled.

    " It''s alright, Sister Jie. No matter what, How can brother Mo escape from your clutches? You will be the head wife, ah!" Yang Shiughed.

    " Hmph, Brother Yang, you are getting so naughty. I willin to Sister Ruxue." Liu Jie''s face reddened as she heard Yang Shi.

    " Who is in whose clutch?!" Mo Yi raged, but looking at Liu Jie, he shut his mouth.

    But then, the entire hall turned silent as a person entered with six ck armored guards. He wore a white robe with a dragon pattern on his back. Only direct descendants of a Royal n can use dragon insignia on their clothing.

    The youth barely looked in his early twenties, with a lean shoulder and sharp brows. Yang Shi could feel a crafty look hidden in his deep gaze.

    Beside him, a girl and an old man walked. Yang Shi instantly recognized that she was Shao Zhu, the famed Vermillion Princess.

    As for the old man, although he looked simple, Yang Shi could see that he was a Violet Pce Expansion Realm expert.

    " The Second Prince, Zhao Hao." Mo Yi spoke quietly. Yang Shi nodded as his gaze slightly turned cold.

    Zhao Hao stopped as he looked around. Yang Shi had to admit that Zhao Hao was handsome.

    " Ladies and gentlemen, Thank you foring here. Tonight, we shall celebrate wholeheartedly. Everyone, let''s drink till we drown." Zhao Haoughed as he raised the wine cup.

    " Hahaha, Prince Hao, you are finally here." The person who spoke was Yue Wuji. He walked to Zhao Hao and greeted him. " This gift is something I specially prepared for you, Prince Hao."

    Yue Wuji smiled as he spoke. The crowd crept closer to see what gift it was. After all, a gift from Yue n won''t be too shabby, right?

    " This box contains Wooden Beads of five thousand-year-old Vitality Tree. Just by wearing it, one''s natural lifespan increases. Moreover, it can protect against dark and evil energy.." Yue Wuji spoke.

 Chapter 267: Gifts

    Chapter 267: Gifts

    The crowd was stunned after looking at the gift from Yue Wuji. A Vitality Tree of Five thousand years is very hard to find. Moreover, this treasure was something that even Violet Pce Expansion Realm cultivator sought after.

    " Brother Yue, Thanks for such a precious gift." Zhao Hao nodded lightly as he passed the box to Shao Zhu next to him. Although he smiled politely, his expression didn''t change much.

    After Yue Wuji, one after another, people surged to give their gifts to Zhao Hao. Yang Shi could only sigh in envy as he saw countless treasures appear before Zhao Hao.

    " Tang Zheng of Golden Sun Sect greets the Second Prince. Prince Hao, this is Burning Sun Jade, a product of our Golden Sun Sect." A young man stood proudly as he handed a box to Yue Wuji.

    " Hiss, Isn''t that a Burning Sun Jade! Its size is so big."

    " I heard that Burning Sun Jade can be used as an Array formation core."

    " Array Formation? It can be even used as fuel in Flying Treasures."

    The crowd discussed as they saw a brightly golden colored stone in the box. Zhao Hao nodded as he smiled. " Thank you for this gift, Brother Tang."

    Although it seems that Prince Hao was appreciating the gifts, Yang Shi could feel that he didn''t like any of them. Well, The Royal n isn''t poor. The Second Prince might have seen even more precious treasures before.

    " The Second Prince isn''t someone whocks riches. Getting his grace is very difficult." Mo Yi chuckled.

    " I thought you didn''t care about the affairs of Royal n?" Yang Shi raised his brows.

    " It''s not about them. The gift also shows the status of the person and the powerhouse behind them. Moreover, it also shows their stands."

    " Since the Royal Martial Tournament is nearing, many people were trying to get into camps of either First prince or Second prince." Mo Yi exined.

    " What about Mo n?" Yang Shi asked curiously.

    " Although the ns are trying to remain neutral, Yue n and the Golden Sun Sect are inclined toward Second Prince. Huang n is more typically in the support of the First Prince." Mo Yi said.

    " Choosing aside isn''t easy at all. Do you know, what will happen if the person we support loses in the battle of the throne?

    " Not only him, but his supporters will also face terrible consequences after the new king ascends to the throne. So we will think after the matter of Mysterious Spirit Realm closes." Mo Yi sighed.

    " Eh, Manager Yang, Brother Mo Yi. To think you are here." A burst ofughter came as Xu Ming appeared.

    " Isn''t it is fifth Young Master Xu Ming. Haha, I heard that you already mastered your Mystic grade battle technique? How about we test it?" Mo Yi''s eyes shone as he spoke.

    " Aiiz, Brother Mo is surely an impulsive person. It''s the birthday party of Second Prince, and you are already talking about battle." Xu Mingughed.

    " Hoho! I don''t think His Highness Prince Zhao Hao will restrict us." Mo Yiughed loudly, attracting everyone''s attention.

    " Prince Hao, This Xu Ming prays for the wealth and prosperity of the second Prince. This small gift, please ept it." Xu Ming ignored Mo Yi as he spoke to Zhao Hao.

    " This painting is called Endless Mountain Roads, created by the famous ancestor of the Dao Instruction Pagoda."

    " It is said that the ancestor of the Dao Instruction Pagoda had sealed the profundities of Heaven and Earth in this painting. Just by looking at it, one''s soul gets calm and collected." Xu Ming spoke.

    " Indeed, The ancestor was a famous painter. His paintings were hard toe by." Zhao Hao praised as he looked at the painting.

    The painting looked ethereal. The distant mountain was covered by clouds, which appeared to be moving. Tall trees covered both sides of the dirt road.

    The sunlight was scattered by their dense leaves. Just by looking at it, one could feel their body rxing.

    " Holy! Is it truly the original Endless Mountain Road painting?!"

    " Indeed. I can feel that my cultivation bottleneck is already losing after looking at it."

    " I heard that it can increase the soul strength of Violet Pce Expansion Realm expert."

    The crowd fell into the discussion as Mo Yi already strode forwards. He bowed and greeted Zhao Hao.

    " Eh? Aren''t you the little brother of Brother Xiaowen? Is he noting today?" Zhao Hao asked.

    " Errm, Elder brother went to visit Your Highness First Prince." Mo Yi smiled awkwardly.

    " Haha, No harm. It seems Elder brother and Brother Xiaowen wille together." Zhao Hao chuckled.

    " Prince Hao, this is a stalk of thousand year old Blue Cloud Grass. It can be refined into Violet Essence Pill. Please ept it." Mo Yi spoke.

    " Ah, To think Mo n had such precious herb. I must thank brother Mo." Zhao Haoughed.

    " Hehe, Prince Hao, as I was saying, don''t you feel this party is very nd? Since disciples of all factions are here, why not have a friendly sparring match?" Mo Yi rubbed his palms.

    " What Junior brother said is true. Don''t worry, I have already prepared the duel stage beforehand. You can ask anyone to spar if they were willing." Zhao Hao nodded.

    As he was about to leave, Shao Zhu suddenly spoke, " Ah, I didn''t expect that Young master Yang also came here."

    " Curses." Yang Shi almost broke the wine ss as he heard Shao Zhu. Zhao Hao suddenly turned as he looked at Yang Shi.

    " Sister Ruxue didn''te?" Shao Zhu smiled as she asked. But Yang Shi could see the cold smile hiding behind it.

    " No, she wasn''t feeling well." Yang Shi spoke directly. He couldn''t help but re at her.

    " Ah, You are Master cksmith Yang Shi. Bing a Master grade cksmith at such young age, is truly marvelous." Zhao Hao spoke lightly.

    " It''s nothing praiseworthy." Yang Shi shook his head. " How can Ipare to the Second Prince."

    " Haha, Brother Yang, you are being overly humble." Zhao Hao chuckled. Suddenly, everyone turned silent as they looked at Yang Shi.

    " Uhh." Yang Shi blinked his eyes as he didn''t understand anything.

    " Brother Yang, are you not going to give any gift to Second Prince?" Mo Yi spoke in Yang Shi''s ears.

    " I didn''t bring anything." Yang Shi said in a hushed voice.

    Mo Yi didn''t believe what Yang Shi said. " Holy [emailprotected]! Brother Yang, Did you eat the guts from a tiger?" Mo Yi almost shouted.

    " Master Yang Shi''s True Treasure Hall is getting more and more popr. I wonder if Brother Yang can also make something for me?" Zhao Hao chuckled.

    " Prince Hao must be joking. There are even Grandmaster cksmiths in the Royal Pce. How can I brag about forging something for you?" Yang Shi instantly denied it.

    " Hehe, Master Yang is being too modest. I am sure you must have bought a nice gift for His Highness." Shao Zhu cut it.

    " This Bitch!" Yang Shi wished he could p Shao Zhu to death.

    Yang Shi''s mind raced as he could understand the ploy of Shao Zhu. It seemed that she held some grudges from thest time. But he was tense as he truly didn''t bring any gift.

    But before he could answer, another party entered the Pce.

    " Elder Brother Hao, Forgive me for beingte.." A young voice spoke.
