INE Chapter 92: The Exchange

Several more years passed. The Demon Sect finally unraveled the seal on the ancient divine sword. With his power greatly enhanced, the Demon Lord led his cultivators in a campaign against minor sects and clans.

They burned, looted, and slaughtered, committing every imaginable crime.

Meanwhile, numerous top-ranked cultivators from the Cultivation Ranking had come to challenge the leader of the Wanjian Sect, only to be defeated in a single strike. Shamed by their inferiority, they c...

INE Chapter 91: Where Are You From

As the New Year approached, Bixue Peak grew lively with anticipation.

On New Year’s Eve, Mei He went to the market and returned with a thousand red lanterns. Several junior sisters offered up their storage pouches to help carry them, but even then, they barely managed to fit them all.

The newly accepted disciples joined in the preparations, setting up stools and hanging the lanterns from the eaves.

When Yue Qianqiu stepped outside early in the morning, she was greeted by a...

Feng Shui Chapter 105: A Heart That Hopes

The cultivator's world had pushed convenience to the extreme, even when it came to their rations. While less attention had been devoted to their specialized blankets compared to those meticulously developed rations, the blankets were still crafted to be highly practical: moisture-resistant, warm, and reliable. Unless one found themselves in a truly extreme climate, a single blanket like this was more than enough for any season. In spring and autumn, it could be laid flat on the ground. In win...

Feng Shui Chapter 104: How to Sleep

Tong Nuonuo was stunned. “What? That Immortal Master Li is still alive?”

Han Yuanzhi nodded. “Indeed. He’s from the barbarian tribes, and naturally possesses some rather unorthodox methods. When the Zhong family was ambushed and eliminated, he managed to escape. Later, during the civil unrest in Hanshan City, he was suspected to have appeared again, secretly taking revenge on the Zhong family.”

Otherwise, the Zhong family wouldn’t have been wiped out so quickly. The Ha...

Feng Shui Chapter 103: Preparing to Enter the Mountains

Chen Xiao still vividly remembered the clause in the contract they signed back then, if Du Rong were to make a breakthrough mid-mission, he was to go into seclusion immediately, and as the employer, Chen Xiao had no right to stop him for any reason. At the time, neither of them had expected such a scenario would actually occur. Chen Xiao hadn’t considered it, and Du Rong hadn’t dared to hope for it.

Now that it had really happened, Chen Xiao was just as helpless as Du Rong. He smile...

Feng Shui Chapter 102: The Title

“What is this?” Chen Xiao cried out in surprise, unable to contain his reaction. His outburst drew the attention of the others at the table. Seated beside him, Xi Yunqing reached out and gently took the identity token from his hands. After glancing at it, he too showed a trace of astonishment, though always composed, he merely raised an eyebrow.

Tong Nuonuo, who was sitting next to Xi Yunqing, leaned over eagerly and asked in a slightly ingratiating tone, “Fellow Daoist Xi, may I ...

Feng Shui Chapter 101: Han Yuanzhi's Token of Gratitude

When Chen Xiao and Xi Yunqing arrived to meet Han Yuanchun, they found him pacing back and forth, unable to contain his joy, an occasional chuckle escaping his lips. Chen Xiao let out a hearty laugh, and when the City Lord turned to look, he congratulated him warmly, “Congratulations, City Lord Han! At long last, your wish has come true. The City Lord’s residence is about to welcome a new life.”

Han Yuanchun laughed aloud and quickly walked over. “Master Chen already knows? I wa...

Feng Shui Chapter 100: Good News

The first day of intense training was always the hardest. After just one day, during his massage, Chen Xiao found that aside from the usual soreness, his body was now overwhelmingly numb and swollen. To ease his discomfort, Xi Yunqing was even more attentive this time. Warm energy flowed from his palms through Chen Xiao’s spine, sinking deep into his body, leaving him completely powerless. All Chen Xiao could do was let out muffled cries, unable to fight it.

He was too focused on endu...

Feng Shui Chapter 98: Li Yuzhou

Xi Yunqing paused, and Chen Xiao quickly added, “For Big Brother to be willing to speak with someone, that person must be quite exceptional. It’s just that I’ve never seen him before, so I can’t help but be curious.”

Xi Yunqing let out a quiet sigh, and with the motion, the tension in his shoulders gradually eased. He said to Chen Xiao, “He’s indeed... a rather unusual person. His name is Li Yuzhou, and he’s an alchemist. If we happen to run into him in the commercial di...

Feng Shui Chapter 99: Accidentally Discovered

Chen Xiao quickly realized that Li Yuzhou truly lived up to his reputation as a strange genius, just as Xi Yunqing had said. The powders he had concocted weren’t just your typical training aids, they were downright terrifying.

There was a potent itch-inducing agent that caused unbearable agony, so intense that even vicious beasts would be driven mad. Another was a stench bomb so foul that anyone below the Golden Core stage would be knocked unconscious just from the smell. And then the...

INE Chapter 90: Peach Blossom Immortal

Yue Qianqiu was a rather laid-back sect master. For no particular reason, just that, when she transmigrated into the game and received this character, the account was already max-level.

At the peak of the Jueyi realm, there really wasn’t anything left to cultivate. Even if she casually fiddled around with the account, nothing could go too wrong.

Whenever she got tired of flying on her sword, she’d start teaching Gong Yu formation techniques. She was hoping that, as an expert i...

INE Chapter 89: Founding a Sect

That day, Chu Changli and Bai Yushuang followed the man who called himself Yue Qianqiu.

Yue Qianqiu had told them, “I want to found a sect, a grand and powerful sect. If you follow me, you’ll never have to worry about food or clothing again. You’ll also be able to cultivate and seek immortality.”

“Will we have steamed buns to eat?” they asked. “Will we have houses to live in?”

“You will,” he said. “You’ll have residences atop several peaks, where the ...

INE Chapter 88: Load Save

When Ji Rong opened her eyes again, she found herself nestled in a fragrant embrace, the scent of phoenix flowers lingering all around.

Her head rested on Gu Baiyi’s shoulder. Looking up, she saw that delicate face with its striking features. Her gaze met those deep, lacquer-black eyes, then drifted to the strands of hair tucked behind an ear. A feather, red as cinnabar, was pinned to her earlobe, bright as blood.

That vivid red reminded Ji Rong of two figures, one in red, one i...

INE Chapter 87: Wei Er

After coughing up blood, the Second Young Master passed out.

He slept for a long, long time. When he stirred, he smelled a faint medicinal scent, bitter and astringent, yet tinged with a sweet aftertaste lingering in his mouth.

A pair of hands brushed gently across his forehead. The touch was soft and light, like cotton laid out in the sun at the dam, warm and soothing.

When the comforting warmth disappeared, the Second Young Master awoke.

He rubbed at his temples, fee...

INE Chapter 86: Red Zhi

When Gu Baiyi awoke, aside from her slightly pale complexion, there were no obvious signs of anything wrong.

On the other side, Xie Bai lay flat on the ground, breathing steadily in a deep sleep, a faint smile tugging at the corner of his lips.

But unexpectedly, a moment later, his brows tightened and his lips began to murmur, as though trapped in immense pain.

Ji Rong frowned and looked down at Xie Bai.

A thin stream of blood trickled from his nose and mouth, running ...

Chapter 97: Making the Brush

As the sky outside gradually brightened, Chen Xiao, feeling inspired, walked over to the bright window and dragged over the only square table in Ah Shou's house. He took out the talisman paper, brush, and the pre-mixed drawing materials from the storage box and placed them on the table. His expression was serious as he lowered his eyes and closed them, meditating for a while. Once he felt mentally refreshed and his emotions adjusted to the right state, he opened his eyes and dipped the tip of...

Chapter 96: New Talismans

Compared to the lively and joyful atmosphere of the people from Changjia Village moving into their new homes, Han Yuanzhi and his wife’s relocation was much more low-key. Han Yuanzhi could only travel back and forth between Changjia Village and Hanshan City every day, since he still had to go to Zhishi Hall. In contrast to Han Yuanchun’s enthusiasm, Han Yuanzhi and his wife seemed less invested. It wasn’t that they didn’t want children, but rather that repeated failures had scarred th...

Chapter 95: Soaring

The last time they built a mountain residence in the valley, they bought an entire house from Hanshan City and moved it over. The process was naturally incredibly fast. This time, however, they were building a new residence from scratch based on the blueprints drawn by Chen Xiao. Though it started from nothing, it didn’t take much longer than moving an entire house.

Han Yuanchun had prepared ahead of time. As soon as he knew they were going to build, he began making arrangements. The ...

Chapter 94: Feng Shui Spreads Its Renown

After finishing the pot of spiritual tea, Xi Yunqing led Chen Xiao out of the restaurant and took him to Zhishi Hall. The hall had returned to its normal operations, though it felt a little emptier compared to the usual bustling crowds. Many practitioners, still avoiding the recent internal turmoil, hadn’t yet returned. It seemed that in a few months, the traces of the previous chaos would be completely gone.

Chen Xiao had visited twice before, but he had only been to the task hall an...

Chapter 93: The Same Grade Spiritual Tea

Chen Xiao had never realized just how powerful a human’s ability to endure pressure could be. After two months of intensive training under Xi Yunqing’s careful guidance, Chen Xiao found that he still had enough energy to do other things after his training. At first, he anxiously waited for Xi Yunqing to notice and add even more tasks, but after waiting and waiting without any changes, Chen Xiao began to lose his patience.

One morning, after finishing his basic training at the practi...

Chapter 92: A Promising Future

Xi Yunqing glanced at him in surprise, not expecting Chen Xiao to be interested in such matters. However, maintaining his tolerant and friendly attitude, he took the time to explain it to him.

In this world, the proportion of cultivators who marry and have children is not insignificant. However, these individuals typically marry when their cultivation is still relatively low, such as during the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages. This is likely due to the fact that with the ...

Chapter 91: The Gift

Chen Xiao took the small box into his hands and examined it carefully. It wasn’t just his imagination; the more he looked at it, the more it resembled the one from Tong Nuonuo’s mechanism box. He was both surprised and delighted, almost unable to believe that this more compact, portable storage artifact was exactly like the one from Tong Nuonuo. He looked up and asked, “Big Brother, what is this?”

Xi Yunqing replied, “This is a storage box specifically for refiners. It can car...

Chapter 85: Dreamscape

The void was chaotic, dark as an endless night. Other than the faint glimmer of spiritual energy in their hands, everything remained shrouded in a darkness so thick one couldn't see their fingers.

The three of them fell silent, as if by unspoken agreement.

After a long pause, Gu Baiyi glanced at the blood trickling down Mo Yu's neck, shook her head, and said, “Senior, everyone has the right to make their own choices. There's no absolute right or wrong in that, your choice simply...

Chapter 84: Mo Yu

Incomplete soul, born without emotion?

Ji Rong froze, completely baffled by what the woman was saying.

Clearly, the woman had no intention of explaining further.

She merely smiled faintly and said, “Girl, the question is for you to answer. Their lives and deaths are in your hands.”

“The world often says: those without feelings hurt others; those with feelings hurt themselves. Since you were born without emotion, I suppose my conditions pose no threat to you. And ...

Chapter 83: Affectionate

It wasn’t just Xie Bai’s footsteps that were glowing, at that moment, the shoes of both Gu Baiyi and Ji Rong were also shimmering with golden light.

Along with them, several objects within the room were lit up: the cinnabar stone sculpture placed in the center, the ancestral lineage scroll on the north wall, and the Buddha statues positioned to the east and west.

As everyone in the cultivation world knew, cultivators could use objects or spirit stones as placeholders. Combined...

Chapter 82: Mechanism

To be fair, Ji Rong was utterly incapable of offering heartfelt praise.

But in this moment, as she looked into Gu Baiyi’s eyes, clear and bright like gemstones, she couldn’t shake the feeling that if she didn’t say something nice, she might go down in history as a terrible person.

After much internal struggle, Ji Rong finally forced the words out, enduring every bit of discomfort as she muttered, “Not bad work… breaking the formation.”

Just five simple w...

Chapter 81: The Array Core

What surprised Ji Rong was that she had initially assumed the vision was an illusion conjured by Gu Baiyi’s personal world, but the moment she wiped her eyes, the scene vanished without a trace.

The blood jade bracelet on her wrist shimmered with silvery waves like a surging tide, only to dim and retreat again the next moment.

The next day, when Ji Rong awoke, she found herself inside the meditation chamber of her room in Bodhi Sect.

She looked around at the small futon an...

Chapter 90: A Gift

Chen Xiao apologized and then explained to Tong Nuonuo that he hadn’t returned recently because Xi Yunqing had been teaching him body techniques. Upon hearing this, Tong Nuonuo immediately stopped complaining. He understood that the chance for Chen Xiao to learn from Xi Yunqing, a master of body techniques, was a tremendous opportunity. Compared to staying with him, a bedridden patient, learning the techniques was far more important. He kindly said, “Then focus on studying the body techni...

Chapter 89: The Sharp Ache

Chen Xiao had tried using his spiritual energy to move his body before. He had struggled when trying to move energy from his forehead to his hands and then release it. So, he clearly understood how intricate it was to precisely control the true essence to cover his hands with just a thin layer of heat. This kind of delicate control was no small feat. With a sincere tone, he said, "Big Brother is truly impressive."

The praise from Chen Xiao made Xi Yunqing's nervousness fade somewhat. He...

Chapter 88: The Heat in the Palm

When Chen Xiao was attacked before, he only relied on his young body and quick reflexes. Otherwise, with his past life experience, which was only enough to deal with street thieves, he would have died at the hands of the Golden Core cultivator long ago.

It was only after witnessing that encounter firsthand that Chen Xiao understood that in the world of cultivation, one not only needed spiritual roots and cultivation but also good courage and skills. This realization prompted him to prio...
