The secret room was not large. In the center of the room was a stone platform, and on the platform was a jade disc.

Wei Wen walked over, picked up the He Shi Bi jade, and a huge spiritual force surged out from the jade, impacting his sea of ​​consciousness.

However, the "Martial Arts Divine Power" made him completely immune to all mental attacks. The mental force rampaged through his sea of ​​consciousness but could not harm him in the slightest.

The Returning to Origin Technique operates automatically, absorbing and transforming that spiritual energy for its own use.

It can be said that, apart from him, no one in the world could resist the spiritual force generated by the He Shi Bi so easily.

The He Shi Bi jade gradually lost its luster in his hands, seemingly turning into an ordinary piece of jade.

He absorbed all that mysterious spiritual power, making it a part of his consciousness, greatly enhancing his mental strength and expanding his brain capacity once again.

Wei Wen examined the He Shi Bi jade for a while, then shook his head, placed it back on the stone platform, and turned to leave the secret chamber.

As for the monks... they were still asleep, unaware that their treasure had been turned into a useless stone.

As for when they wake up... heh, what does that have to do with Wei Wen, the homeless itinerant doctor?

As Wei Wen walked back to Luoyang, he sensed the changes in his sea of ​​consciousness.

The power of the He Shi Bi jade at least doubled his mental strength.

An increase in brain capacity means that he is more sensitive to the primordial energy of heaven and earth, and also means that he has more precise control over the "domain".

In a martial arts world like The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, "spirit" is often more important than "qi".

The "momentum" of the three grandmasters, the "illusion techniques" of the demonic masters, and the "Zen skills" of the Buddhist monks all involve a contest on a spiritual level.

With the enhanced power of the He Shi Bi jade, his ability to survive in this world was greatly improved, and his sense of security and confidence increased significantly.

However... it's just a mere He Shi Bi jade, at most a small opportunity in this world. The real great opportunity is yet to come.

Whether it's the War God's Manual, the Compassionate Sword Manual, the Heavenly Demon Strategy, or the Evil Emperor's Relic, those are truly priceless treasures, far surpassing even the He Shi Bi, which is merely a mere artifact.

He had even seen the claim that he had dismissed with a laugh: the War God's Manual existed in the War God's Temple, which was guarded by a black dragon.

Another version of the story says that the Temple of the God of War was actually the Record of the God of War, left behind by Guang Chengzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect...

Of course, these opportunities were still too far away for him, and his current strength was insufficient to even dream of them.

In the autumn of the eighth year, Wei Wen went to Chang'an again.

This time, he went to the entrance of Yang Gong's Treasure Vault and found the hidden cave entrance under the Yue Ma Bridge.

However, he did not go in, because he had a feeling that it was not the right time to go in.

He stayed in Chang'an for a few days and then returned to Luoyang. At the end of the year, Wei Wen drew the entry for the eighth year, but unfortunately it was still of white quality.

Compared to that, he cares more about his own understanding of the field.

A "domain" cannot be mastered overnight; it requires long-term accumulation and understanding.

He spent nearly sixty years in the low-level martial arts world without comprehending a domain.

He spent eight years in the world of Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, but still failed to comprehend the domain.

This shows that the barriers to entry in this field are much higher than he imagined.

Only that golden entry directly granted him a domain, allowing him to skip the most difficult process of "enlightenment"—how fortunate he was!

In the spring of the ninth year, Wei Wen left Luoyang and returned to Yangzhou.

His pharmacy is still on the first floor of that small inn, and the sign "Helping the World with Medicine" still hangs on the door.

He pushed open the door and went inside. The room was covered in a layer of dust. He fetched water and wiped the room down, aired out the quilts, and tidied up the medicine cabinet.

In the afternoon, I went to the pharmacy at the street corner to restock some medicinal herbs, and by the end of the day, the shop was back to normal.

As he sat drinking tea in his shop at dusk, he suddenly heard someone shouting in the street, "A fight has broken out! A fight has broken out! A fight has broken out outside the city!"

Wei Wen put down his teacup, walked out of the shop, and followed the crowd toward the outskirts of the city.

On an open field outside the city, two young men were locked in a fierce battle.

One wields a knife, the other a fist; the glint of blades and the clash of fists intertwine to create a striking scene under the setting sun.

Wei Wen recognized them at a glance; there were only Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling.

The two boys had matured a lot compared to before. Kou Zhong had grown taller, his shoulders were broader, and the lines on his face were more defined. He was dressed in a black outfit with a horizontal sword hanging at his waist, and his swordsmanship was sharp and domineering.

Xu Ziling's figure was more upright, his features more refined, and his temperament more reserved. He wore a blue robe, and with his bare hands, his palm techniques were elegant and agile.

Their opponents were a group of men in black, more than a dozen of them, all of whom were skilled in martial arts.

Kou Zhong fought five opponents single-handedly, each strike fatal.

Xu Ziling fought seven opponents single-handedly, each palm strike landing squarely on the skin.

The two worked together seamlessly, one attacking and the other defending, one advancing and the other retreating.

In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the men in black were utterly defeated and fled in disarray.

Kou Zhong sheathed his sword, turned around, saw Wei Wen in the crowd, paused for a moment, then smiled: "Brother Wei! What are you doing here?"

Wei Wen said I've been here the whole time.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling walked over and stood in front of him. Kou Zhong was half a head taller than Wei Wen, and Xu Ziling was also taller than him.

Those two little brats who used to follow him around calling him "Brother Wei" have now grown into upright men.

"Brother Wei, are you still practicing medicine?" Kou Zhong asked.

"Well, I've got nothing better to do anyway."

Xu Ziling looked at Wei Wen's pharmacy, his eyes welling up with tears: "Dr. Wei, you opened a pharmacy?"

"A small shop, just enough to make a living."

Kou Zhong laughed and said, "Brother Wei, your medical skills are too good for running a small shop. Why don't you come with us to Wagang? I'll introduce you to Chief Li Mi. Li Mi has plenty of money; even a hair he plucks is thicker than your leg."

Wei Wen shook his head and said, "I'm not going. I'm fine here."

Kou Zhong did not force him. The two boys stayed at Wei Wen's pharmacy for one night and then left. They were going to Wagang to join Li Mi and make a name for themselves in the chaotic world.

Wei Wen stood at the shop entrance, watching their figures disappear into the morning mist, and silently said to himself, "Go, your journey is to the stars and the sea."

In the autumn of the ninth year, Wei Wen finally received news of the Evil Emperor's relic he had been seeking.

The Evil Emperor's Relic is a token passed down through generations of Demon Emperors, containing the pure essence of each Demon Emperor.

In the original story, the Evil Emperor's relic was hidden in the deepest part of Yang Gong's treasure vault.

The Yang Gong Treasure Vault is located in a cave in Chang'an City, with its entrance hidden by a mechanism.

Wei Wen knew the location of the treasure vault, but he had never gone there because the time was not right. Even though he had looked at it from the outside last time, he did not go in.

Now... the time has come.

He rushed to Chang'an overnight, and it was already late at night when he arrived at the entrance to the treasure vault.

The streets of Chang'an were deserted, and the moonlight shone on the Yuema Bridge, making the entire bridge look like it was cast in silver.

Wei Wen jumped into the water and found the hidden cave entrance. The entrance was small, just big enough for one person to squeeze in sideways.

He crawled inside and walked along the dark passage. The passage was long and winding, and in some places it was so narrow that he could only pass sideways.

After walking for about half an hour, the space suddenly opened up in front of them, revealing a huge stone chamber.

The stone chamber was filled with gold, silver, treasures, weapons, and armor, but Wei Wen didn't even glance at them and went straight to the deepest part of the chamber.

There was a stone platform there, and on the platform was a crystal ball the size of a fist.

Inside the crystal ball, a swirling black mist seemed to struggle or roar.
