Chapter 1 Shock and Fury

Shock,
Followed by rage!
Furious rage!

His face flushed crimson, feeling a murderous intent about to burst from his chest.

He naturally had some impression of the name Yuan Duxiu.

His younger brother's death seemed to be related to this person!

That Yuan Yang, who killed his younger brother, was suspected to be a great master, which already shocked him beyond compare. However, that shock was nothing compared to the shock of hearing that Yuan Duxiu had become Miao Meng's Dao companion!

A small character he didn't even consider worthy of his attention not only dared to come to the Myriad Law Tower but had actually become Miao Meng's Dao companion?!

Miao Meng,
Are you blind?

Lin Yanlong took a deep breath, forcefully suppressing the shock, rage, and murderous intent in his heart, but a sense of powerlessness couldn't help but rise.

Not to mention that direct disciples weren't allowed to kill each other, even if it were allowed, he wouldn't dare to act.

Of course, he could easily crush that Yuan Duxiu, who was said to be only at the True Form realm, but Miao Meng could crush him even more easily than he could crush Yuan Duxiu—ten times more easily.

That Miao Meng was a 'Cave Heaven' mighty figure whose talent, comprehension, aptitude, resources, and luck were no less than his own, and who had nine hundred and sixty more years of cultivation!

The Myriad Law senior apprentice-sister who, for a thousand years, ten generations, thousands of direct disciples in the Myriad Law Tower had to bow and salute!

Suppressing the shock and rage in his heart, Lin Yanlong ignored the crane that was trembling in fear and turned to return to his sect.

.......

What is an opportunity?

What is a world-shaking change?

In an independent palace on Miao Mountain, Yuan Duxiu, who was sitting cross-legged amidst wisps of mind-calming incense, suddenly understood this principle.

The palace was an independent palace on Miao Mountain, and the incense burning in the incense burner was a top-grade 'Mind-Calming Incense' equivalent to a Myriad Law Pill, which was of great help in comprehending spiritual forms.

The water he bathed in was made from a hundred kinds of spiritual herbs and dozens of kinds of elixirs, with immediate effects on nourishing blood and qi, and tempering the body.

The pills he took orally were the Myriad Law Tower's secret 'Law Pills'. Although these pills couldn't be circulated like currency, their medicinal effects were more than ten times better than the same level of 'Spiritual Form Pills'!

The wine and dishes in front of him: the wine was 'Law Wine', which could nourish the divine soul, physique, and strengthen the foundation; the dishes were top-grade ingredients from the Myriad Law Tower, made from exotic spiritual birds fed with spiritual plants.

Even a bowl of rice, the most inconspicuous of all these things, was made of grains as crystal clear as jade, each grain with natural patterns.

......

In the palace, everything was top-notch. Any single item was something that ordinary inner disciples would never see in their entire lives. Some direct disciples were even inferior to him.

And just three months ago, he was still a menial disciple of the Myriad Law Tower.

Even with excellent talent, after thirty years of being driven around, he could at most only reach the level of the two inner disciples standing outside his door now.

This change was so fast that Yuan Duxiu felt a little dazed, but also a little wary.

Things that come too quickly are often lost quickly, and he cannot accept all of this with peace of mind...

"When dealing with people, be sincere."

Sensing Yuan Duxiu's hesitation, Mu Longcheng's voice sounded in his heart again: "No matter what reason you become Dao companions with her, treat her with sincerity."

"This kindness is hard to repay, I will only remember it in my heart, and naturally treat her with sincerity."

Yuan Duxiu nodded.

He was well aware that Miao Meng wanted to use his Grand Sun True Form to cultivate, but he didn't care. Compared to what he gained, what he gave was only half an hour of torment each day.

"If you treat her with sincerity, what's hers will naturally be yours, so what's there to refuse?"

Mu Longcheng's voice wasn't loud or soft, but it shook the hesitation in Yuan Duxiu's heart: "As a direct disciple, if you don't go out, then Lin Yanlong can't threaten you, but if you want to kill him and then destroy the Lin family to avenge your parents, it's impossible."

"If you don't want to accept these things, do you want Miao Meng to violate the sect rules for you and kill Lin Yanlong?"

Mu Longcheng's words made Yuan Duxiu's mind waver.

He shook his head. This was his bottom line. Revenge must be taken by his own hands. Giving it to others was no different from letting his parents die in peace.

"Senior Zuo Shou, you didn't seem to say that before."

But Yuan Duxiu wasn't stupid. Mu Longcheng hadn't said that before.

"This is one time, that is another time. Even the heavens have four seasons, and if you don't have great power, you can only go with the flow."

With that, Mu Longcheng disappeared again.

Squeak~

The door was pushed open.

A girl in green clothes looked at Yuan Duxiu with a fierce look in her eyes, but her cold voice contained sarcasm and anger: "Little guy, Master is looking for you."

Yuan Duxiu sat still, as if he hadn't heard.

This girl, of course, wasn't a real girl. Her age was estimated to be over five hundred. Her name was Lin Miao'er, and she was Miao Meng's most beloved disciple.

A prodigy of the Myriad Law realm.

"Hmph!"

Lin Miao'er raised an eyebrow, her eyes suddenly turning cold. With a thought, she was about to drag him over.

But she heard Yuan Duxiu slowly say:

"Today is the day your Master and I set the status of Dao companions. Ten years from now, your Master and I will be true Dao companions. Are you sure you want to humiliate me?"

He didn't want to be tough, but compromise wouldn't solve any problems.

He had already understood this when he was beaten into a dog, his martial arts were crippled, his hands and feet were broken, and Lin Yanlong ordered the slaughter of his entire Yuan family despite his tearful pleas.

Being tough might not have any effect, but even if he died, it would be more dignified than dying in subservience.

He had followed the advice of 'Senior Zuo Shou' and chose this path destined to be scorned, but that didn't mean he had to be obsequious.

"Just a cauldron!"

Lin Miao'er sneered. She had cultivated for five hundred years and had seen everything. She didn't care about this threat at all.

Her eyes narrowed, and an invisible force surged down.

In an instant, Yuan Duxiu was tightly bound.

In front of her, a mere True Form couldn't even die if it wanted to!

"Then you might as well kill me and find another cauldron for your Master."

Yuan Duxiu didn't struggle.

Separated by the three realms of Spiritual Form, Transformation God, and Heavenly Gang, even the ancient Sacred Emperors couldn't break free, and neither could he.

"You think I wouldn't dare?"

Lin Miao'er's expression was indifferent.

"Yesterday, I just became a direct disciple in front of the Myriad Law Dragon Tower. You don't seem to be a direct disciple yet..."

Yuan Duxiu looked straight ahead, without any fear: "Why don't you try it?"

Lin Miao'er's eyes contained killing intent, but she didn't dare to really kill this kid. Not to mention whether her Master would be furious, his status as a direct disciple wasn't fake.

No matter what means were used to become a direct disciple, a direct disciple was a direct disciple. Her cultivation was higher, but if she dared to kill a direct disciple, she would face the Sect Leader's thunderous anger.

"Since you don't dare to kill me, why don't you let me go!"

Yuan Duxiu shouted coldly.

Lin Miao'er gritted her teeth, wishing she could slap this bastard to death, but she still held back.

At this moment, she finally understood why several senior sisters had returned one after another, but their faces turned ashen when they mentioned this person.

He was simply a tough nut to crack!

Whoosh~

Glancing at Yuan Duxiu coldly, she flicked her sleeves and left.

A few moments later, a series of explosions rang out in the sky, and a series of divine powers exploded in the air, the sound waves resounding like thunder for thousands of miles.

Causing countless Myriad Law Tower disciples to be surprised.

After Lin Miao'er left in anger, Yuan Duxiu sat quietly for a moment, calmed his mind, and then sighed with some worry: "Walking on thin ice..."

This road wasn't as easy as he imagined.

Miao Meng's major Myriad Law disciples aside, even her grand-disciples' grand-disciples were stronger than him at this time.

Staying on this Miao Mountain wasn't as comfortable as those ordinary Myriad Law Tower disciples thought.

He wasn't as free as he imagined either.

In this day and age, where can you find easy money?

Yuan Duxiu sighed softly, got up, pulled out the half-burned 'Mind-Calming Incense' and threw it into his Qiankun bag. Similarly, there were also the wine and dishes on the table.

He wanted to save these for his younger brother.

His younger brother had unparalleled talent, comparable to the ancient Sacred Emperors and Celestial Sovereigns, and was much stronger than all the direct disciples of this Myriad Law Tower, but he simply lacked resources.

Even Mu Longcheng didn't know that Yuan Duxiu took this path for this reason as well.

Of course, more importantly, Mu Longcheng never imagined that Yuan Duxiu would be so self-sacrificing to such a shocking extent...

......

Prodigy City.

Located in the center of the Celestial Cauldron Kingdom, it was known as one of the Two Capitals alongside the Heaven-Fixing City, but its prosperity far surpassed the Heaven-Fixing City.

Whether in terms of population or anything else.

Prodigy City covered a vast area, and it was expanded every hundred years. The current Celestial Cauldron Emperor had established his capital here for a thousand years, and in that millennium, it had been expanded nine times.

The entire Prodigy City was divided into nine districts, known as the 'Nine Cities of Prodigies'.

The closer one got to the center, the closer one was to the imperial city.

In the northeastern corner of the Nine Cities of Prodigies, in a quiet alley, a medical clinic opened without anyone's attention.

This alley was said to be quiet, but in reality, it was remote, and the residents in the vicinity mostly trusted the old brands more.

In such a place, opening such an untimely medical clinic was obviously deserted.

Of course, it wouldn't attract anyone's attention.

In the front hall of the medical clinic, a burly, mountain-like, honest-looking man was趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴趴párrale je te réchauffe au coeur » se trouve sur le comptoir, louchant en direction de la rue déserte, l’air toujours aussi curieux de comprendre pourquoi personne ne venait le voir. Du moins, c’était un parfait paravent à son manque de popularité. Il n’était absolument pas effrayé de ce regard qui semblait le suivre, non, non. Il fixait simplement un point au hasard, la preuve étant la distraction qu’il avait eu en voyant la même personne passer devant sa boutique quelques jours d’affilée. Si elle n’avait pas été aussi jolie et peu fréquentable, il n’aurait probablement pas fait plus attention que cela. Avec la nouvelle boutique de thé de la ville, il était important de se démarquer, et attirer de nouveaux clients était plus important que de se faire suivre par un psychopathe. Ou peut-être que les deux étaient compatibles. Quoi qu’il en soit, il continuait de lire son livre à propos des bienfaits des mélanges de thé. Il n’avait pas tout à fait fini sa formation de barista, mais il était plus qu’expérimenté dans la préparation de délicieuses boissons. D’ailleurs, c’était de là que lui venait sa passion pour les herbes. Une amie lui en avait parlé, et il avait adoré ça. Il pensait à cette amie et à ses conseils parfois bizarres. Au final, elle avait souvent raison, mais il ne voulait pas toujours l’admettre. C’était une vieille amie, une qui l’avait vu dans de sales draps, une qui était toujours là pour lui. Il en avait peu des amis comme ça, des qui lui donnaient envie de se surpasser, des qui le poussaient à changer. Il était bien comme ça.
