In the middle of the night, Li Qiuchen suddenly opened his eyes and sat up. Hearing the noisy sound of footsteps in the distance, he felt his way to the temple door and glanced out. He saw a dragon of fire approaching from the mountains and quickly turned back to wake Hong Yang. "The villagers have caught up!" "Don't they ever sleep?" Hong Yang was filled with disbelief. Traveling in the dark was already a major taboo, and walking mountain paths in the dark was…-

Dark clouds sealed the sky, thunder rumbled endlessly. The already eerie Great Cool Demon Cavern, at this moment, exuded an oppressive pressure at its peak, enough to suffocate all living beings nearby. “I think that little girl is just playing us.” The white fox curled up on Xu Gu’s shoulder, cursing under its breath, then resentfully lifted its head. “And this damned weather. For picking talents, can’t the Great Cool Demon Cavern choose a good day?” That fairy-like woman had not…-

Thump thump thump! The urgent knocking on the door startled Wang Jixuan from his meditation. He nimbly jumped to his feet, and the tiny, newly formed wisp of Qi within his body immediately retreated back into his Dantian in his abdomen. Wang Jixuan glanced at the clock on the wall; he had only been cultivating for less than two hours, or three and a half hours in the local parlance. He had thought he could recover some of his strength, but at this moment, he helplessly…-

Chen Yuan looked at Lin Jingqi with great interest. He hadn't expected that there was such a hidden story behind what happened back then. Actually, he had felt something was off from the start; Lin Jingqi's behavior was far too weak and indecisive, lacking even the decisiveness shown by his wife. Could a personality like that really pull off seizing a martial arts academy? Now that it turned out Zhang Qiuhe was the one in control, it made much more sense. While…-

The door of the ancient castle was fitted with the simplest mechanical lock, the kind that could be handled with a piece of wire. Qi Si opened the door with the key and led the way into the room. Before him was a guest room of about twelve square meters. Yellowed wallpaper clung snugly to the four walls, barely concealing the water stains and mold that announced its age. The decaying, festering ceiling was dotted with black ulcers, from which sprouted grass shoots like worms on a scab, ready…-

One hour ago. Breeze Pavilion, third-floor tea room. Behind a landscape screen, a woman gently plucked a pipa, singing a soft, melodic tune. A middle-aged man sat cross-legged on a prayer mat, his hand forming a seal. A water dragon rose from the teapot, enveloping tea leaves within as it emitted billowing steam. Clearly, he was brewing tea. The water dragon danced for a moment before finally descending into the teacup. "Please." The brewed tea was pushed by a gentle breeze, coming to…-

Qin Ming nodded solemnly. It was indeed time to figure out how to achieve "New Life." This was a major event, one that concerned his entire life and would influence his future destiny. Fifteen to sixteen years old was the golden period. Achieving "New Life" at this age yielded the greatest benefits; missing it would be an immense pity. But it was very difficult. The most outstanding individuals in Twin Tree Village had all achieved "New Life" after the age of twenty, and some had even been over…-

The high-speed train traveled smoothly through the lightening dawn, the sound of the wheels grinding against the rails faint, almost gentle, becoming the only long, drawn-out background noise in the carriage. Chen Mo still leaned against the window, his posture unchanged, though the tension in his shoulders had slightly eased. The sky outside had completely shed the night, pale azure light spreading across the horizon, illuminating the continuous silhouettes of the distant landscape bit by…-

Li Hongmei herself didn't even notice; she was smiling the entire bike ride to work. Everything looked pleasant to her, and even the sunshine seemed brighter than usual. Upon entering the office, a colleague, an auntie in her forties, glanced at her and exclaimed, "Oh!" "Hongmei, good news at home?" "What good news? What good news could I have at my age?" Li Hongmei said this, but stopped her steps and her words. She was waiting for the other person to play along, one of the strange rules of…-

We moved to a spacious clearing behind the pine forest. Standing seven or eight paces away from the old man, I cupped my fist and showed my respect. "I will receive your teachings." The old man waved his hand dismissively. "Quiet. Just come at me already, you brat." I gladly took the advantage of striking first. Throwing the nine remaining pebbles in my pocket all at once, I used my flash step and arrived in front of the old man almost at the same time as the stones. The old man didn't…-
