Feng Shui Chapter 167: Custom Couple Robes?

The fabric quality of Qianxiu Workshop and Wanjin Pavilion was second to none across the entire Taishen Heavenly Realm. It wasn’t uncommon for major sects and prominent clans to place large orders, and many cultivators even regarded wearing garments made from these fabrics as a point of pride. So when Xi Yunqing made his request, Shi Fengdu wasn’t surprised in the least.

He smiled and said, “Ah, is that all? That’s easily arranged. I’ll make the trip on your behalf.”

Feng Shui Chapter 166: Shared Affairs

That Liu Lang was actually quite clever. He openly and brazenly exposed the reason behind the duel, making it clear to everyone. With that, the two women from the Wanjin Pavilion lost all face and could no longer claim that they were merely trying to raise the price and snatch supplies from Qianxiu Workshop, and had flown into a rage after being refused.

Pang Yi could almost feel the onlookers pointing and whispering around them. As a young female cultivator, she lacked the composure to...

Female Consort Chapter 70: Public Trial

Qiu Chudong opened his mouth, but his face twitched and he couldn’t get a word out for a long while.

Back then, it was his desire that pushed him to touch Li Qingwu behind Qiu Che's back.

On the other hand, he was also sure that Li Qingwu, being a woman, wouldn’t dare expose him.

But now, with Li Qingwu openly using the Emperor's name to pressure him in front of so many commoners, if he dared to refute, it would be seen as disrespect to the royal family.

Tong Nuonuo’s throat tightened slightly. He nodded and said, “This was indeed something Brother Wu Qing carried with him.” Then, he handed the box to Chen Xiao and said softly, “Xiaoxiao, this talisman was made by you, better that you handle it.”

He then turned to Han Yuan and inquired about the arrangements made for their fallen teammates. Han Yuan explained that apart from a few rogue cultivators, the compensation for the deceased had been collected by their respective sects...

"Qiu Che must be protected."

"Preposterous!" Li Shi thundered, his anger rising sharply. "Whether she is protected or not depends entirely on my will! What do you mean by this? I summoned you to account for your actions, and you dare to use this imperial token to threaten me! Don’t forget, this token was given to you by me!"

"Father, please calm down." Li Qingwu smiled, and under her father’s intense gaze, she calmly withdrew the imperial token from her hand. "I understand you...

Feng Shui Chapter 164: The Relic

The group headed south, arriving at a coastal port in Jin City. The docks here also had large ships bound for Hanshan City. They quickly sold the Scale Horses, bought their tickets, and boarded the ship. The journey by land had taken several months, but this time by sea, it took only half a month. Fortunately, the period of bad luck following Xi Yunqing’s promotion had passed, and they reached Hanshan City uneventfully.

“We’ve finally arrived." Tang Ru said, her face looking a lit...

Li Shi had originally intended to protect Qiu Che.

It was just a woman being tainted, let’s not even mention how he didn’t care about Li Qingwu, his daughter. Even if he did care, he wouldn’t sacrifice Qiu Che, who was such a useful tool, for this matter.

At most, he’d put on a show, scold a few times, then suppress the incident, turning it into a domestic issue for the princess and her husband.

In a few days, it would all be forgotten.

The part that displeased...

Chen Xiao sat cross-legged. With the experience he’d gained from the last time in the square, this time he directly activated the compass within his sea of consciousness, absorbing the continuous flow of causal fortune energy seeping into his body.

The vast, surging fortune energy followed invisible paths, rushing toward Chen Xiao like a colossal whirlpool. The energy fields over the canal and the capital city itself were stirred by his presence. Sand and dust swirled violently, the w...

The water system projection before them appeared divided into two layers: an upper shallow water layer and a deeper confined aquifer below. Chen Xiao understood that the top layer was surface water, while the second layer was the pressurized underground water.

Although Venerable Sanshui didn’t know modern geology, his long years of experience and his specialized earth-and-water elemental magic allowed him to pinpoint the problem clearly. He raised his hand, pointing to two spots, and ...

The heavy sword in his hand pointed steadily at Ke Jiusi’s chest. Xi Yunqing said calmly, “You lost.”

Without hesitation, Ke Jiusi shot back, “I don’t accept that. Let’s go again!” He paused, then quickly added, “This time, no restrictions on using spells.”

Xi Yunqing remained composed. “Fine.” He raised his hand to withdraw the heavy sword and stepped back a few paces.

Ke Jiusi felt that earlier he had been too careless. Now with no limits on magic, vi...

There’s no denying how astonishing human recovery can be. The Feng Shui mega stone that was placed here had transformed into a bustling plaza in just a few months.

At first, no one dared to come near because of the earlier collapse. But after Chen Xiao sat quietly here for a while, rumors spread that an Immortal Master had cast a spell, turning this plaza into a blessed land.

It wasn’t entirely a rumor, this spot was indeed a lucky land at the heart of a Feng Shui formation. W...

The armored beast’s dark, wet nose twitched as if it had caught the scent of an unfamiliar presence in the air. Seeing this, Tong Nuonuo quickly pulled Tang Ru back toward the corner.

The beast’s nose kept twitching, but after the scent faded, it stopped moving and resumed licking the ice velvet grass at the cave entrance with its sticky tongue. Each swipe pulled away thick leaves from the plant.

Tang Ru was still shaken. “What should we do? The beast’s nose is already thi...

Feng Shui Chapter 153: Twin Blooming Red

It was a seemingly flat plain, yet the ground had split open with an immense chasm. Ice and mountains merged into one; from afar, it was impossible to tell whether the rift had split through solid rock or frozen peaks. This place was likely once just a valley between two mountains, where snow had accumulated over the centuries, compressing layer upon layer into ice until it eventually formed this vast ice-covered plateau.

Only upon seeing the rift with his own eyes did Chen Xiao truly g...

I’d wager there are high-grade ice-element treasures sealed within it.”
