A beam of fire, to be exact, which resembled the tender glow of dawn in Sung Tsz Hin’s painting. 287Please respect copyright.PENANA4Hvn4dxZEj
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?287Please respect copyright.PENANADtugr5HYH9
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAkOym8VOKh7
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANALqQeTylhMY
“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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAl4I3VHmGuc
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAniDwBVdSVE
Maybe because of his low cultivation state, he was only able to feel but not exactly predict what was going to happen.287Please respect copyright.PENANA30vkJeZ2vO
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANArTEs9craBv
And unexpectedly, his opportunity came.287Please respect copyright.PENANATSlYIMFpzx
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANA4aHCT1vUEc
This was a comfortable way of interaction that Siu Fu loved.287Please respect copyright.PENANAyA9PMH4l7B
He put on a sincere smile, and his sinister vibes were nowhere to be found.287Please respect copyright.PENANAcA1rXO6HHb
“I’m more than willing. Hopefully, Sir’s wine is good, otherwise it would be a waste of my chicken.”287Please respect copyright.PENANAn59jnj6OAC
Hearing him, Chui Yim knew that they would click and laugh out loud. “Definitely.”287Please respect copyright.PENANAS7b99fgN1x
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAJKU4cLgqzC
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAAuChAdAYe4
The fragrance of roasted chicken and wine permeated the space.287Please respect copyright.PENANAsQXskELk3A
Siu Fu took the wine from Chui Yim and downed it.287Please respect copyright.PENANArG76fIzE94
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAqIfuDs9SjJ
The weirdly satisfying feeling was extremely refreshing.287Please respect copyright.PENANAfocvAyii4I
“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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAKYnTnFnBwc
“What a good idea to use glutinous rice as a base.”287Please respect copyright.PENANA8vpZELcKP0
“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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAMQsmxUvFsy
As the both of them conversed, they left each other in shock.287Please respect copyright.PENANA59CN4ctiCw
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANATNQxBQOFQc
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANASA1DV3H8mD
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAcSXcthXN8t
In the middle stood two men, one holding a long blade while another had his hands behind his back.287Please respect copyright.PENANA0tBiAgiwT8
They were Lee Kwong and Chui Sang.287Please respect copyright.PENANArTDTYYQIqU
“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.287Please respect copyright.PENANA8yY3LRj8Za
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANAY75lrSNr4D
Huge hands that could cover heaven and earth, the middle finger and thumb trying to pinch the supreme blossom of flame in it.287Please respect copyright.PENANACw3PpGvM1E
At the bottom right-hand corner of the painting, it was pitch-black, as if it was being eroded by time.287Please respect copyright.PENANAjlUFjOkTT1
This was a very popular drawing recorded in the scrolls, “Buddha Bestows the World Fire.”287Please respect copyright.PENANAbGq21bpoTo
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANA8fw3G7RFb2
It dropped from the heavens to the earth and turned into flame. Humans learnt how to use flame and gained intelligence.287Please respect copyright.PENANAbdrda5mveC
Now, the ancient myths were just legends in today’s world, but it made sense to find such a painting in the Red Rampart.287Please respect copyright.PENANA6dhPaGMA5G
Chui Sang looked at the stone painting in a daze, but he was burning in his heart.287Please respect copyright.PENANAeVz6aJtKuR
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.287Please respect copyright.PENANA9rieqSKfLU
This was the energy that he felt, the energy that could change his life.
