Having absorbed the two exotic flames into his Dantian, Jiang Tang looked around at the dimly lit Mass Burial Mound with a hint of bewilderment.

How to get out of here…

“Master, Qianji knows of a direct path leading out of the cave dwelling.

Please heed Qianji’s words,” Qianji, hearing Jiang Tang’s inner voice, slowly opened her lips and meticulously described the way out.

Jiang Tang listened to the left and right turns until he was completely confused, nearly seeing stars in front of his eyes.

Fortunately, he had enhanced his aptitude during his previous cultivation, and with some effort he managed to remember the directions well enough.

Following the route guided by Qianji, Jiang Tang arrived at a stinking sewage pond.

There were many corpses floating in it, and one could even see the clearly visible corpse grease.

Jiang Tang: “…” Do I really have to go down there?

Could he refuse?

Forget it, just hurry and go.

Endure it, just endure…

After taking a Water-Avoidance Pill, Jiang Tang sealed off his sense of smell, closed his eyes, and leaped into the sewage pond.

The pond seemed small, but it was actually bottomless.

The moment Jiang Tang sank, an icy coldness hit him in the face—a powerful vortex pulled at his body, nearly tearing him to pieces.

Enduring intense pain, he activated the Golden Body Spell and felt the tearing force lessen slightly.

Only then did Jiang Tang open his eyes and look around.

There was a light ahead; perhaps that was the exit Qianji mentioned.

He hurriedly swam toward it.

The moment he got close to the light, Jiang Tang was suddenly driven by a suction force, and was thrown out of the water.

Jiang Tang landed on the grass with a splash.

He quickly cast a cleansing spell and changed into a new set of clothes before feeling somewhat better.

Looking around, Jiang Tang’s mouth involuntarily twitched.

He had made it outside the cave dwelling, but not completely— he had ended up right at the entrance of the dwelling.

Not far from him, a group of people with looks of astonishment were watching the gentleman who had just emerged from the cesspool.

How did this person come out of the cesspit?

Turning to see the cesspit, Jiang Tang: “…”

Qianji, this time he had truly lost face.

“…” Qianji coughed silently, and like Xuanming, started to feign cultivation.

Would it admit that it had forgotten the original route because of its age?

No, of course not.

“Excuse me for disturbing everyone’s cultivation.

I will take my leave now,” Jiang Tang said with a forced smile, bowed, and before the group could react, he hurriedly ran off.

A social death scene, oh my.

“Master, there is a Wooden Pavilion within the dense forest ahead.

The Pavilion may contain the opportunity you seek,” Qianji suddenly said at that moment.

Jiang Tang sighed, “Qianji, ah.”

Because of the Soul Contract, he could hear Qianji’s inner voice.

So, huh.

Qianji: “…Master, this time Qianji will not remember it wrong.”

Trust it one more time.

Jiang Tang walked to the dense forest.

As expected, after moving aside some thick bushes, Jiang Tang saw a dilapidated Wooden Pavilion.

Could there really be an opportunity here?

With a belly full of doubt, Jiang Tang pushed the rotten wooden door, which responded by…

Falling over.

The dust raised choked him, and he couldn’t help but cough incessantly.

By the time the dust had settled, Jiang Tang opened his eyes to take a look around.

He was blocked by a huge spider web.

Jiang Tang sacrificed a talisman, burning away the spider webs, while at the same time using hand seals to activate a cleaning spell and walked further in.

Thereafter, he saw on the moss-covered wooden table, a pile of ancient books were neatly placed.

He leaned down for a closer look and inwardly exclaimed in awe.

All these piled up were Cultivation Skill Manuals.

He flipped through a few and found many were comparable to the secret manuals of Major Sects, including martial arts.

Martial arts!

Jiang Tang had only the life-saving Golden Body Spell and was indeed lacking in martial arts.

He quickly began searching and soon took a liking to a martial arts manual called the Five Elements Sword Art.

This martial art was classified as a mid-tier yellow-grade, suitable for both defense and offense.

Since he wanted to learn swordsmanship, it would be perfect to start with this.

Jiang Tang pulled out a Jade Token, activated the spell to engrave the Five Elements Sword Art into it, and then returned it to its original place.

He turned his attention to other secret manuals, and quickly set his eyes on one called Wind-racing Step, a manual on movement techniques.

This manual was also of mid-tier yellow-grade and could enhance speed once cultivated.

Wasn’t this precisely where he fell short?

Jiang Tang hurriedly took out another Jade Token, engraved the manual into it and placed it into his Qiankun Bag.

This spell, he devised himself after studying ancient books, but it was a pity that there had been no opportunity to use it.

Today was the perfect day to apply it.

After placing the books back properly, Jiang Tang couldn’t wait to leave, finding a quiet place to settle down.

He also plucked some Spirit Grass and then sat cross-legged in meditation to start cultivating the Five Elements Sword Art and Wind-racing Step.

With these two techniques, his ability to preserve his life had increased by two.

To avoid conflict and not stir trouble, to survive discreetly till the end, that was the supreme path.

In a blink of an eye, three days flashed by.

As dawn broke, the chorus of cicadas in the woods resounded, and the young gentleman wet with morning dew slowly opened his eyes.

Five Elements Sword Art, Fire Art, beginners level!

Wind-racing Step, beginners level!

Jiang Tang suddenly stood up, summoned a Longsword, channeled Spiritual Power into it, and fiercely swung forward, stirring up the Xuanming Spiritual Fire.

A bright trail of firelight slashed through the early morning, blooming into a spectacular flower in the Void before dissipating.

It worked!

His self-created skill was a success!

Jiang Tang was exhilarated.

This sword move shall be named Burning Lotus.

Jiang Tang then activated the Wind-racing Step.

No sooner had the spell been cast than he had already moved twenty steps away in the blink of an eye.

Wow!

“If I could also fly, wouldn’t this be like taking off?” Jiang Tang marveled in a split second.

Wait, he seemed to have forgotten something.

Damn, he hadn’t collected the Spirit Field!

Jiang Tang laid down talismans in all directions and hurried into the Spirit Field Space.

Glancing at the fields all planted with crops, Jiang Tang paused for a moment, then saw the young dragon charging towards him.

“Daddy!” Eryao clung onto Jiang Tang’s arm, eyes filled with excitement, “Daddy, Eryao has collected lots of Spirit Grass for you, now you can refine many Pills.”

Jiang Tang grinned, patting Eryao’s head, “Eryao is good.

Where’s your sister Li?”

“Sister Li is still in closed-door cultivation,” Eryao touched its own dragon horns, somewhat helplessly.

The traditions of the Vermilion Bird clan were very ancient, and no one knew when Sister Li would be able to come out of cultivation.

“I will refine some candy for you.

Don’t plant any more Spirit Plants when they mature, just concentrate on your cultivation,” Jiang Tang stepped forward and within a few moments arrived in front of the storage area.

He picked up a few full Qiankun Bags and again patted Eryao’s head.

The Spirit Field was already lacking in fertilizer; he needed to make some himself and irrigate the field with it.

There wasn’t much Spirit Water left either, he would have to search for more in this Secret Realm.

Eryao obediently nodded, watching Jiang Tang leave with a tinge of relief in its eyes.

Daddy had finally started learning martial arts.

That was wonderful.
