A beam of fire, to be exact, which resembled the tender glow of dawn in Sung Tsz Hin’s painting. 403Please respect copyright.PENANAPv5bHgjE35
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?403Please respect copyright.PENANAarz9rmyv4U
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAPcAKSzRoGJ
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAbsp1wZZzDK
“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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAEdHKP3IFeu
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAOOQDcfz40n
Maybe because of his low cultivation state, he was only able to feel but not exactly predict what was going to happen.403Please respect copyright.PENANAOqbSoMSGG9
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANATj2QLflr1N
And unexpectedly, his opportunity came.403Please respect copyright.PENANAXfqDVRcxq4
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAnD71Z3QUpL
This was a comfortable way of interaction that Siu Fu loved.403Please respect copyright.PENANAJWdpJrnHaM
He put on a sincere smile, and his sinister vibes were nowhere to be found.403Please respect copyright.PENANAAoYHRhHYb2
“I’m more than willing. Hopefully, Sir’s wine is good, otherwise it would be a waste of my chicken.”403Please respect copyright.PENANAA5n6ZSb2Xh
Hearing him, Chui Yim knew that they would click and laugh out loud. “Definitely.”403Please respect copyright.PENANA6FyLJFnFn3
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANADUwrLr78eU
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANASNb0uPChyQ
The fragrance of roasted chicken and wine permeated the space.403Please respect copyright.PENANA3W0GdJGfJQ
Siu Fu took the wine from Chui Yim and downed it.403Please respect copyright.PENANAO006rlIca7
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAaYlpBwT70w
The weirdly satisfying feeling was extremely refreshing.403Please respect copyright.PENANAuYubTeuPP9
“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.403Please respect copyright.PENANARMqvwjO94M
“What a good idea to use glutinous rice as a base.”403Please respect copyright.PENANA5WQCrzLSdj
“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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAl83da3MEFp
As the both of them conversed, they left each other in shock.403Please respect copyright.PENANAAl1Seg7xTQ
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAFwxrLLJ9gU
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAMhxPxZ3Fu3
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAC4o10Kxv1R
In the middle stood two men, one holding a long blade while another had his hands behind his back.403Please respect copyright.PENANAN9mcS6cefP
They were Lee Kwong and Chui Sang.403Please respect copyright.PENANACpBGfzPPMp
“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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAC00pfInLpb
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANA4M2r6wToV0
Huge hands that could cover heaven and earth, the middle finger and thumb trying to pinch the supreme blossom of flame in it.403Please respect copyright.PENANAaghqW6EhxD
At the bottom right-hand corner of the painting, it was pitch-black, as if it was being eroded by time.403Please respect copyright.PENANA7DM26p2tYJ
This was a very popular drawing recorded in the scrolls, “Buddha Bestows the World Fire.”403Please respect copyright.PENANAdsdwjEzzxR
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANABGbByqfND3
It dropped from the heavens to the earth and turned into flame. Humans learnt how to use flame and gained intelligence.403Please respect copyright.PENANANRJXki0u9S
Now, the ancient myths were just legends in today’s world, but it made sense to find such a painting in the Red Rampart.403Please respect copyright.PENANAIl29DSBifb
Chui Sang looked at the stone painting in a daze, but he was burning in his heart.403Please respect copyright.PENANABeylJqm0YK
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.403Please respect copyright.PENANAP13QXQhS5Q
This was the energy that he felt, the energy that could change his life.
