One Dao Fruit a day, starting with the Dragon Taming Technique.

The newcomer's movements were extremely skillful; with a slight sway of his feet, it was as if he were walking on moonlight, landing silently and without leaving a trace.

Xu Guang reached out and gently picked up the black sword.

"Another one sent to their death..."

Xu Guang was about to draw his sword when his fingers suddenly stopped, his gaze falling on the white robe of the newcomer.

He had seen this style of white robe before; it was something his father had kept hidden away.

"Who are you?"

The newcomer looked at Xu Guang with a strange emotion in his eyes.

It seems to be...compassion?

"You can call me Fukuyama-kun, or you can call me Han Yuehui, but of course, I prefer you to call me Uncle."

Xu Guang's pupils contracted instantly, his mind reeling.

uncle?

Han Yuehui's face appeared in the moonlight. He was ugly. Judging from his bone structure alone, he should be a handsome man. However, his face was covered with crisscrossing scars, like... a series of crawling centipedes.

"Xu Shan and I are sworn brothers."

Xu Guang's heart was churning, but his face remained expressionless as he squinted at the other person.

He is not the type of person who easily trusts others, so he naturally wouldn't believe what the visitor said.

However, the clothes the man was wearing aroused some suspicion in his mind.

What evidence do you have?

Hearing Xu Guang's words, Han Yuehui became even more satisfied with her nephew.

"Aren't you going to invite me in? Your dad's tavern is open again, buy me a drink."

After a moment of silence, Xu Guang took out a jar of wine and placed it on the stone table in the courtyard.

Han Yuehui took a sip. "New wine without an age, just so-so."

Xu Guang remained silent.

Han Yuehui didn't seem to care and just kept talking to herself.

"You did a good job, you didn't embarrass your father."

Xu Guang looked at him and said seriously, "If you keep saying these nonsensical things, I might kill someone."

Han Yuehui's expression froze. "You really are... exactly like your father."

He took out two books from his bosom. "These are the 'Qing Nang Jing' and 'Ling Bo Bu,' both of which are my most treasured possessions."

Xu Guang didn't take it, but looked at Han Yuehui and asked, "Where are my father and Xu Cheng now?"

"I... I've been looking for them too. It was Xu Er who wrote to me that prompted me to come here."

"What about the letter?"

Xu Guang asked softly.

"I lost him. I was chased by Wu Daoren as soon as I entered the city. Later, the whole city knew that I had appeared in Shuocheng. During this time, I have been running for my life. I was only able to come to find you because I knew that Wu Daoren was about to go into seclusion. That's why I risked coming to find you."

Xu Guang nodded, neither confirming nor denying his belief. "So you came to me just to tell me this? And to establish a family connection?"

Han Yuehui shook her head. "I'm here to advise you to leave as soon as possible."

"Sun Ganxuan is going to sell Shuocheng to the demons of Shuoyun Mountain. Demons from all over Shuofang Prefecture will come. You should leave Shuofang Prefecture as soon as possible."

He paused, as if hesitating.

"You can go to Shengjing to stay with your sister."

Xu Guang was stunned; it was the first time he had ever known that he had an older sister.

As if he had thought of something, he looked at Han Yuehui with a strange expression.

"So, you gave all the things you stole from Youzhou to my sister?"

Han Yuehui was also taken aback. "Your father told you about your sister?"

The two remained silent.

Han Yuehui smiled and said, "You are cautious. I know you won't trust me easily. I will go to find your father and Xu Cheng during this time. At the latest, within a month, whether I can find them or not, I will come back to find you. Be prepared to leave. Shuocheng has been sold by Sun Ganxuan. You should know what that means. The whole city... will become the blood food of demons."

Also, beware of Wu Daoren.

Xu Guang stared at Han Yuehui for a long time.

"it is good."

After the other party left, Xu Guangcai finally looked at the two books that Han Yuehui had left on the stone table.

Xu Guang believed some of what Han Yuehui said.

But Xu Cheng and his father, he still planned to find them himself.

……

For Xu Guang, Han Yuehui's appearance was just an interlude.

Xu Guang's life returned to normal, and he had too many gains to digest.

With the normal opening of several shops, Du Zhao's visit to Xu Guang's house became legitimate, and he would come early every morning to busy himself with the shops.

In addition, Liu Xiaocao introduced many honest and reliable jobs.

In an instant, the once empty courtyard became lively.

The courtyard seemed to come alive at that moment.

Xu Guang considered these things trivial matters. He didn't even manage the affairs of the constables much. He just kept an eye on Wu Qi and watched his every move.

But after the death of the Bull King, Wu Qi became very honest.

Occasionally, when meeting Xu Guang alone, he would show a hint of nervousness.

With this in mind, Xu Guang did not resolve the matter; he still planned to rely on Wu Qi to find that Taoist Wu.

The noise outside was constant.

Inside the room.

Xu Guang bathed and burned incense, then knelt in the room. On the table in front of him was only a bronze object, which looked like a tortoise shell.

"If this first divination is successful, I should be considered to have entered the realm of the secret art of returning to the hexagrams."

Clearing his mind of all distractions, Xu Guang focused all his attention on the tortoise shell in front of him, slowly closing his eyes as if he were performing some kind of extremely solemn ritual.

He was muttering to himself.

The tortoise shell made a dull thud as it fell onto the table, spinning and gurgling.

Only when there was no further movement did Xu Guang slowly open his eyes.

[The divination indicates the direction is southeast]

Xu Guang looked at the divination results; the divination he had obtained indicated the location of the subsequent techniques of the "Twelve-Story Tower Strength".

Upon opening the panel and seeing the words "Returning to the Hexagram" appear on the chart, Xu Guang was overjoyed.

At the same time, countless thoughts about the Guiyao (归爻) flooded my mind.

The Guiyao Qishu (归爻奇术) allows one to perform a divination daily, with the clarity of the hexagram varying depending on the content of the divination.

I consider this divination to be successful.

However, the orientation is too general, which is because the level of the returning line is too low.

However, Guiyao has finally entered the basics. Next up are "Seeing the Gods" and the two cultivation techniques left by Han Yuehui.

Wow, I'm really busy.

……

As dusk fell, snow began to fall again.

The world was shrouded in darkness.

The barking of dogs rang out.

In the middle of Shuohu Lake, a small boat drifted by, leaving a dark trail behind it.

Wu Daoren sat cross-legged on the boat, a hint of bloodlust appearing in his eyes.

Opposite him sat a middle-aged man dressed in the robes of the Qing Shuo Sect's leader.

"Mr. Wu, Elder Yu'an has disappeared. Shouldn't you give me an explanation?"

A crimson hue flashed across Wu Daoren's face, and his bloodshot eyes seemed to move as if they were alive.

Amid the middle-aged man's bewildered and shocked gaze, nine pairs of blue and white skeletal hands appeared before Wu Daoren, seemingly emerging from nothingness, simultaneously sealing off all directions around the middle-aged man.

"you…"

Click!

The bone hand contained a strength that the middle-aged man could hardly match; even when he unleashed all his internal energy, he could not budge it in the slightest.

Accompanied by the sound of bones cracking.

The middle-aged man lay on the boat, his body contorted and his face pale.

"It's always just a little short, but where exactly is it missing?"

With a sway of his wide sleeves, a small alchemy furnace appeared in front of him.

Without even glancing at the middle-aged man's face, she carefully cut open his wrist, and bright red blood slowly flowed out.

Using the blood of a martial artist who has attained the elixir of immortality as a medicinal guide, I wonder if it can help me refine the external elixir that combines the nine talismans.

……

Early in the morning, Xu Guang arrived at the police station, intending to slack off and read a book.

Wu Qi came in.

He knelt down as soon as they met.

"Please spare my life, sir!"

Xu Guang looked at Wu Qi with unwavering eyes and frowned slightly.

He didn't want to expose Wu Qi, and even planned to use Wu Qi to find the demons who had already descended the mountain.

Unexpectedly, the other party suddenly appeared.

"I was forced into this situation. I never intended to harm you, sir. Please investigate thoroughly."

He knelt on one knee, the hairs on the back of his head standing on end.

He switched sides today because he noticed that Xu Guang had been subtly watching him lately.

He knew that Xu Guang had begun to doubt him.

At this point, a choice must be made.

Xu Guang remained silent, as if waiting for Wu Qi to speak.

Wu Qi closed his eyes, knowing he couldn't just say something to fool them, so he spoke.

"There is a mysterious master in the city who cultivates a new path, named Wu Daoren. Through alchemy, he has befriended many powerful and influential people..."

He revealed many details about the Wu Dao people, while subtly pointing out that he was forced into it.

Wu Daoren needed to go into seclusion before he could find an opportunity to tell Xu Guang the truth.

Xu Guang did not say whether he believed it or not, but simply looked at Wu Qi for a long time.

Han Yuehui previously mentioned that Wu Daoren had gone into seclusion, so this news should be true.

He had never met Wu Daoren before, but if what Han Yuehui said was true, Wu Daoren had a grudge against his father, so he probably wouldn't let him go.

"I would like to see Mrs. Deer. Can you arrange that?"

Wu Qi was taken aback. "Madam Lu?"

"Yes! Please grant me a few days, sir, so that I may inform you once I have made contact with Madam Lu."

Xu Guang nodded, then suddenly asked, "Do you know what that Daoist Wu is doing in seclusion?"

"I don't know, but I heard from his disciples that it seems to be related to some kind of Azure Talisman..."

A glint suddenly flashed in Xu Guang's eyes.

The Green Talisman?!

Xu Guang was not surprised that Wu Daoren practiced the new path, but he did not expect that Wu Daoren's strength had reached the level of condensing the Azure Talisman.

The martial arts realm corresponding to the first level of the Azure Register is... the sixth realm of罡劲 (Gang Jin).
