A beam of fire, to be exact, which resembled the tender glow of dawn in Sung Tsz Hin’s painting. 285Please respect copyright.PENANAZxuSbMw8Ci
Feeling a sharp pain from the back of his head, the sword-wielder fainted.
A bald teenager picked him up by his collar and turned to the black-haired teen in confusion. I felt a disgusting aura a moment ago, where did it disappear to?285Please respect copyright.PENANAlVtsCQ4rkC
Was it from him? Puzzled, the bald teenager looked at the glipher in his hand and tossed him a dozen meters away like a piece of trash. With his strength, this glipher would be in a coma for at least twenty-four hours.285Please respect copyright.PENANAc8ARGMo4Ya
He turned to the black-haired teenager and felt that he could click with him seeing how he decided to cook chicken in the middle of a so-called tomb. The bald teenager strode over and sat next to the black-haired teen.
Surprisingly, the deadly attack that the black-haired teen was preparing to launch disappeared into thin air after the bald teen’s appearance, allowing the other to sit next to him peacefully.285Please respect copyright.PENANAMP35oECejL
“Brother, isn’t it boring to have a meal alone? Why don’t I share some wine with you, and you share your chicken with me? How does that sound?”

Siu Fu diverted his gaze away from the chicken to the shiny bald head, curiosity washing over his deep orbs.285Please respect copyright.PENANAIzyODg5xVq
Of course, he did not travel such a long distance here just to kill weaklings and feast on a chicken. He was here because of the secret necrogliphism style he cultivated that allowed him to tell the future. It was unbelievable that such a powerful style originated from such an evil cult.285Please respect copyright.PENANAGmcW2XYKmN
Maybe because of his low cultivation state, he was only able to feel but not exactly predict what was going to happen.285Please respect copyright.PENANACvgnFQxYyr
All Siu Fu knew was that he had a great opportunity here in the Western Desert, this space that was once filled with treasure. He couldn’t tell what that opportunity was, but coincidentally, he felt hungry and decided to just make a meal here.285Please respect copyright.PENANAZSZohzfHKb
And unexpectedly, his opportunity came.285Please respect copyright.PENANAC2ghfuP5tY
It was not a divine weapon buried beneath the dust or a powerful style that remained undiscovered for the past thousand years like Siu Fu expected, but a living person instead.
Who saved his life despite not knowing who he was.
Siu Fu was more than capable of killing that glipher with a single attack, but the bald teen was unaware of that and chose to save his life despite not knowing him. The teen did not even mention the fact that he saved him and only came over with a condition of exchanging food.285Please respect copyright.PENANAVJ2aqPulHY
This was a comfortable way of interaction that Siu Fu loved.285Please respect copyright.PENANA2iYgYkiKuZ
He put on a sincere smile, and his sinister vibes were nowhere to be found.285Please respect copyright.PENANAOe4MEs3Wxl
“I’m more than willing. Hopefully, Sir’s wine is good, otherwise it would be a waste of my chicken.”285Please respect copyright.PENANASPSzzlgoF6
Hearing him, Chui Yim knew that they would click and laugh out loud. “Definitely.”285Please respect copyright.PENANAiDXZTguX9G
Chui Yim waved his hands, leaving Siu Fu in great shock. With his status, Siu Fu could take away anything that he liked in the Black Promise Tower. Thus, he could tell that Chui Yim was wearing a Divine Bracelet of Five Elements, a powerful storage artefact from the ancient past that was said to have the ability to store all the treasures in the world.285Please respect copyright.PENANAJYOnEYT7i0
Chui Yim did not deliberately hide the treasure from Siu Fu and placed a jug of wine in front of both of them, opening its seal.285Please respect copyright.PENANAOrvSB5T8qg
The fragrance of roasted chicken and wine permeated the space.285Please respect copyright.PENANAYC5ml9vYdP
Siu Fu took the wine from Chui Yim and downed it.285Please respect copyright.PENANAsAoVOPtTSs
The Drunken Year was aromatic and contained a high percentage of alcohol, but it was not astringent or bitter, only thick and fragrant. A sip of Drunken Year was like tasting a hundred flavours at the back of your throat at the same time.285Please respect copyright.PENANAY8iROerc2e
The weirdly satisfying feeling was extremely refreshing.285Please respect copyright.PENANAo9vulmTC8z
“It’s a great wine.” Siu Fu was pleasantly surprised. Even as the sacred son, he did not have access to delicious food since the food in Black Promise Tower was bad. Being able to have a taste of the delicious wine gave him happiness.285Please respect copyright.PENANAnyiRxkj2z6
“What a good idea to use glutinous rice as a base.”285Please respect copyright.PENANAPDtEvmuKwI
“Ah, another that knows wine well.” Chui Yim’s eyes lit up and he told the other the recipe for Drunken Year honestly. As they were conversing, the roasted chicken was ready.
Roasted chicken and delicious wine were a great pair, and the cold passage was no longer unbearable.285Please respect copyright.PENANAIp6kWQoi99
As the both of them conversed, they left each other in shock.285Please respect copyright.PENANAimlwhnAQIi
Chui Yim was a knowledgeable teen, and after knowing that all the books he read as a child were stolen from Cloud Palace, he further cherished his knowledge. On the other hand, the black-haired teen looked ordinary, but he shocked Chui Yim with his words and how he was able to follow up with all the scrolls Chui Yim mentioned, including novels, prose, and travelogues.285Please respect copyright.PENANAhDtPfDIngn
Of course, Chui Yim expected to come across other cultivators at the Red Rampart and was prepared to get into a fight with them, which was normal between cultivators.285Please respect copyright.PENANAp0VGCwi1DY
However, neither he nor his new friend mentioned a single word about cultivation as if there was a tacit agreement. They chatted about random stuff and enjoyed a meal together.

There was a group passing through the passage. The group members held torches to light up the dark passage.285Please respect copyright.PENANARcNqWjf1nh
In the middle stood two men, one holding a long blade while another had his hands behind his back.285Please respect copyright.PENANAgHcaXEb1at
They were Lee Kwong and Chui Sang.285Please respect copyright.PENANAujYw7L4hqQ
“Leader, here it is! This is the best match!” one of the group members shouted. Lee Kwong turned to the man next to him to see that he was staring in front without a word.
It was a wall that blocked the passage, and it looked just like a dead end with a stone painting on it. If it was Chui Yim, Kam Chin Kee, Siu Fu, or Mung Si, who read a lot, they would identify the painting immediately.285Please respect copyright.PENANAE3HpKzVNXT
In the middle of the painting was a flower that resembled a ball of flame. It burned brightly, and the painting represented purity and holiness. When one looked closely, they would find a figure standing behind it.285Please respect copyright.PENANArojxr2ruk7
Huge hands that could cover heaven and earth, the middle finger and thumb trying to pinch the supreme blossom of flame in it.285Please respect copyright.PENANAu0OmOa8LQR
At the bottom right-hand corner of the painting, it was pitch-black, as if it was being eroded by time.285Please respect copyright.PENANA1ti7StuxHz
This was a very popular drawing recorded in the scrolls, “Buddha Bestows the World Fire.”285Please respect copyright.PENANA2LaC31I8gU
This painting originated a thousand years ago when Buddhism still existed in the world, and it depicted a story in the Buddhist texts where the world first started and flame didn’t yet exist. Humans led poor lives, eating raw meat. Pitying men, Buddha bestowed a drop of his precious blood to mankind.285Please respect copyright.PENANAr3ZIf0p9u9
It dropped from the heavens to the earth and turned into flame. Humans learnt how to use flame and gained intelligence.285Please respect copyright.PENANA5urLnvTQT3
Now, the ancient myths were just legends in today’s world, but it made sense to find such a painting in the Red Rampart.285Please respect copyright.PENANArMfzMLtQUg
Chui Sang looked at the stone painting in a daze, but he was burning in his heart.285Please respect copyright.PENANAsCeKuT8Dvm
For today, he planned many years, convinced Lee Kwong and his team, and came to this desolate area. Nobody realised that the ordinary stone bead he held was currently emitting black gas, which resonated with the eroded corner of the painting.285Please respect copyright.PENANAlazohH9KU6
This was the energy that he felt, the energy that could change his life.
