A beam of fire, to be exact, which resembled the tender glow of dawn in Sung Tsz Hin’s painting. 257Please respect copyright.PENANAApJBbai00E
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?257Please respect copyright.PENANAqua8YMYoHF
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAu1Ba6POTFb
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANARnYzA3Hexs
“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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAHbt2spvikd
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAMSqlxkhAXx
Maybe because of his low cultivation state, he was only able to feel but not exactly predict what was going to happen.257Please respect copyright.PENANAhIT3fTHOak
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAylMuS7i3I3
And unexpectedly, his opportunity came.257Please respect copyright.PENANAakWXhlKf4t
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAkAOoyhmFyV
This was a comfortable way of interaction that Siu Fu loved.257Please respect copyright.PENANAoOBGKdt1LY
He put on a sincere smile, and his sinister vibes were nowhere to be found.257Please respect copyright.PENANAZ7HINwvjPn
“I’m more than willing. Hopefully, Sir’s wine is good, otherwise it would be a waste of my chicken.”257Please respect copyright.PENANAaM5prE5YwO
Hearing him, Chui Yim knew that they would click and laugh out loud. “Definitely.”257Please respect copyright.PENANAoqwi9hKxE8
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAUfFwjM62K2
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAICRaqgfMar
The fragrance of roasted chicken and wine permeated the space.257Please respect copyright.PENANAy7e9AOr4WS
Siu Fu took the wine from Chui Yim and downed it.257Please respect copyright.PENANAzggvJODqJl
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAmDUBq2VGqX
The weirdly satisfying feeling was extremely refreshing.257Please respect copyright.PENANAhRIdcpONph
“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.257Please respect copyright.PENANA2LZeWopHI2
“What a good idea to use glutinous rice as a base.”257Please respect copyright.PENANACUaDEaVQwn
“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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAre2jwhBPct
As the both of them conversed, they left each other in shock.257Please respect copyright.PENANAF1xZrZue00
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAOELdy9WxRL
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANArN48S6T7Nw
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAKJSMwdQXm6
In the middle stood two men, one holding a long blade while another had his hands behind his back.257Please respect copyright.PENANA7LDJtbz3B8
They were Lee Kwong and Chui Sang.257Please respect copyright.PENANATjN17sSoBE
“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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAd6Cjr3iKhx
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAgXGvQnGIgx
Huge hands that could cover heaven and earth, the middle finger and thumb trying to pinch the supreme blossom of flame in it.257Please respect copyright.PENANAj0nRACcFUe
At the bottom right-hand corner of the painting, it was pitch-black, as if it was being eroded by time.257Please respect copyright.PENANA9tb4vOIrx8
This was a very popular drawing recorded in the scrolls, “Buddha Bestows the World Fire.”257Please respect copyright.PENANAIxAqUTmGGB
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAkbL4W1HJKx
It dropped from the heavens to the earth and turned into flame. Humans learnt how to use flame and gained intelligence.257Please respect copyright.PENANAdP9K4OyBmP
Now, the ancient myths were just legends in today’s world, but it made sense to find such a painting in the Red Rampart.257Please respect copyright.PENANAsg6yiiiFxP
Chui Sang looked at the stone painting in a daze, but he was burning in his heart.257Please respect copyright.PENANAZD37rDjSAJ
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.257Please respect copyright.PENANAhx23MHWQRD
This was the energy that he felt, the energy that could change his life.
