10: Liu Sheng's son, the owner of a stall on Qingshi Street in the south of the bridge

master of fate: Jiang Yi

Lifespan: 51

Looking at the five new entry-level Cultivation Techniques!

Jiang Yi, sitting cross-legged on the bed, felt a sense of satisfaction from his body and mind to everything around him.

As for the Secret Manual of Cauldron Origin Skill!

He had already casually tossed it onto the table.

It was all already engraved in his mind, so why would he need a physical book?

Jiang Yi felt a surge of excitement!

He couldn't wait to embark on his 'Cultivate' journey.

But he still forcefully held back!

After all, this was Yu Hang Compound, a core area of a major power, and it certainly didn't lack Martial Art masters.

Once he received the blessings of these Cultivation Techniques!

He would likely be quickly sensed by these people, and even if he had an Uncle who was a deacon.

He might not be able to protect him.

Being captured, tortured, and dissected for research would probably be unavoidable.

Even the sequence was arranged for him!

Jiang Yi wasn't confident!

That staking fifty years of Lifespan would allow him to Breakthrough the Body Tempering stage and reach the second major Martial Dao realm.

Since he wasn't completely confident, he could only... be more low-key!

"Let's first study the Cauldron Origin Skill!"

Cauldron Origin Skill!

Taking the body as a cauldron, blood as patterns, circulating Qi and blood strength, and activating the hundred meridians throughout the body!

With feet like cauldron legs, standing firm on the ground; hands like cauldron ears, drawing in light from all directions; the body as the cauldron, inhaling and exhaling the essence of the sun and moon.

Once Cultivated to Major Achievement, with Cauldron Origin covering the body, it would be indestructible, possess a strength of a thousand catties, and command awe in all directions!

This precisely corresponded to the first major realm of Martial Dao β€”

Skin Grinding Realm and Flesh Refining Realm.

"I wonder if, after Major Achievement, I can once again attack Black Wind Fortress to avenge myself?"

Jiang Yi's eyes were like deep abysses, with cold light contained within.

"Or perhaps continuing to improve my cultivation level and Breakthrough to the second major Martial Dao realm would be safer..."

He had the Golden Finger, so it shouldn't take too much time.

Jiang Yi stayed holed up in his small courtyard, quietly digesting those five Martial Art Cultivation Techniques.

At meal times, servants would naturally deliver food and drink!

The night passed uneventfully!

The next morning, Jiang Yi prepared to go out to Shou Yu Pavilion to return this Martial Art.

Just then, a dull knocking sound came from the door.

Jiang Yi opened the door to see!

Knocking was a young man who looked to be about his age.

Dressed in a white Martial Art uniform!

He had a tall and straight figure, and his face... well, he looked seven or eight parts similar to Liu Sheng.

Only his complexion was a bit gloomy!

With a cold face, he looked at Jiang Yi with a hint of complexity in his eyes.

It seemed to be a mix of hostility, anger, and defiance!

"Come with me!"

"My name is Liu Zhanpeng. Today, my old man... my dad is busy, so he told me to take you to Qing Shi Street, south of the bridge."

No wonder he looked so similar; he was Uncle Liu's son!

But his expression was a bit strange!

Uncle Liu would start laughing after only a few words, while this guy kept a gloomy face the whole time!

It was as if everyone owed him a million or two!

"Okay!"

"But, I need to wait a moment. I have to go to Shou Yu Pavilion to return the Secret Manual I borrowed yesterday!"

Liu Zhanpeng nodded with a cold face!

Jiang Yi said nothing more and followed the path he took yesterday towards his destination.

"Greetings, Old Chang!"

Upon reaching Shou Yu Pavilion!

After entering, Jiang Yi respectfully bowed to the white-haired elder as instructed by Liu Sheng.

He was still the same as yesterday!

Head tilted back, eyes squinted, snoring loudly, legs on the table, completely unconcerned about his image.

There was no sign of him waking up.

He looked like an eccentric old man, but he was definitely not ordinary!

How could someone appointed to guard this place filled with Martial Art Secret Manuals be unremarkable?

If not a master, then he was β€” a grand master!

Jiang Yi placed the Secret Manual back in its original spot and bowed to the white-haired elder again.

"Young man, when your Cauldron Origin reaches Major Achievement, you may visit this place again!"

A voice with a nasal hum drifted over leisurely!

"Yes!"

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, replied, and then walked away!

The white-haired elder's eyes, beneath his two white brows, were slightly narrowed, as if watching the slender figure gradually disappear.

"Two Martial Art essences, how interesting!"

After muttering a few words!

He turned over!

And continued his daily routine... β€”

South of the bridge, Qing Shi Street!

Named because the ground was paved with large bluestones!

It was quite a bustling street!

"Fresh perch just caught, cheap by the catty, only five copper coins, only five copper coins..."

"Freshly baked flatbreads, hot and steaming!"

"Straw sandals woven from aged cattail grass, passersby, come and see, comfortable and durable!"

"Candied hawthorn, candied hawthorn, thirty years of old craftsmanship, thirty years of hand..."

"Delicious large meat buns, thin skin and ample filling, come, come, customer, it's Young Master Liu..."

"Give me two, wrapped separately!"

"Alright!"

Liu Zhanpeng handed over a few copper coins and then took two steaming hot large meat buns.

He held one in each hand and extended the other to Jiang Yi.

"Here!"

"Thank you!"

Jiang Yi thanked him, not being overly polite, and took it.

He took a bite.

Indeed, as the Shopkeeper said, the skin was thin and the meat filling was ample β€”

And it was bursting with juice!

The ancients truly couldn't be deceived.

Liu Zhanpeng grunted, then also began to munch on his bun.

He still had a cold expression!

However, it seemed to have improved quite a bit!

At the base of a small building at the end of Qing Shi Street, the two stopped.

"This is our Yu Hang branch on Qing Shi Street."

As if he thought of something, his eyes showed defiance, and he let out another cold snort.

"And it's the place you'll be stationed at from now on!"

Before!

His father had promised to let him be stationed here, but then suddenly revoked it yesterday.

Saying that he had already found someone!

He also checked his Martial Art progress, and then... gave him a severe beating!

Damn it!

That old man was just hateful!

Not long after!

A middle-aged man dressed as a steward rushed out with several Yu Hang Disciples.

Upon seeing Liu Zhanpeng, the middle-aged man's face immediately broke into a wide smile!

"Greetings, Young Master Liu!"

"Young Master Liu, we've finally been looking forward to your arrival. It seems the deacon has decided to let you be stationed..."

"Wait..."

Liu Zhanpeng raised his hand, his face dark, and stopped him from saying more!

"I'm not, I didn't!"

"This one next to me, he is. His name is Jiang... Jiang Yi, and from now on, he will be the β€”

Shopkeeper!!!"
