The Story Never Ends

Dark Moon City,

In an inn, Hendrix was wearing the same black robe with his hood on. It's already been a week and there was still no news from the Silent Killers. He was starting to get anxious. They said they would return after 3 days, but a week has already passed.

"I have a bad feeling about this. Should I go and check?"

"Sect master might have been angry with me. It's been a week since I last attended the lecture. I should return to the sect and forget about this."

He made his way towards the sect. While he was walking past the city, he saw two dead bodies near a tree. This was the spot where Davion had killed the two brothers.

He didn't want to pay attention to those bodies, as fighting and killing among cultivators are normal. But when he passed by those bodies and saw their robes, he panicked. Even though bodies decay over time, it takes much longer for a cultivator's body to decay.

So, when he saw those faces full of scars, he was shocked. "How could both of them die here? They were both in the middle stage of Qi refining. It looks like they couldn't take a single blow from the opponent."

"Did they try to ambush the wrong person over here? Or did they fall into their enemy hands? Or was it Davion?"

"But that kid is too weak to do so. I should return soon and confirm my guesses."

***

The Bone and Devil Sect,

Infront of the Secret Arts Hall, Davion was carrying the golden badge given by the Sect Master. He came to the elder and showed him the badge.

The elder dropped the book he was reading and looked at that badge. He looked at Davion and said, "Thaddeus is really generous. It looks like he values you very much. You can stay as much as you like inside. But don't take out those manuals outside."

"I understand." Davion nodded and entered the hall.

It was a small cave where there were two shelves kept opposite to each other. Between them, there was a table and a chair. A candle lamp was on the table.

He focused his attention on the two shelves. One of the shelves contained many manuals but the other shelf contained very few. He came to the shelf containing many manuals and saw that they were all about formations.

"Do I study formations?" Davion pondered.

"In the novels that I used to read in my previous life, the main character would always learn alchemy, formation, and weapon forging. He would then impress everyone with his talent, especially beautiful girls. Should I also do the same? It might also help me earn more spirit stones in the future."

"But learning those things requires a lot of patience and time."

"Eh!, I have a golden finger. How could I forget about it?"

So, he took out one of the manuals from the shelf. It was about the Qi gathering formation. He opened the manual and simply read it from first to last.

After finishing, he closed his eyes and tried to focus on the panel. There was no Qi gathering formation over there. He got disappointed and then slapped his head.

"My god! how could I be so dumb? Formations are not immortal exercises that can be learned with the panel. They are just arrangements of materials in a certain way that can manipulate the Qi of heaven and earth. By manipulating this Qi and materials, you might be able to create a defensive array, attacking array, tracking array, or even a Qi gathering array. The main difficulty of formations lies in the refinement of materials."

"So how foolish was I to think my panel could help me."

"It looks like learning this would take a very long time and is very boring. It's not my cup of tea."

So, he simply ignored these and came to the other shelf. There were only five manuals there.

"Shadow bind", "Dark Hands", "Qi refining Manual", "Dark Domain" and "Golden Core Manual"

"So, there are only three spiritual arts. It looks like many arts were lost in the calamity. These arts should be able to get recorded in the panel."

Like previously, he took the Shadow Bind manual from the shelf and read it from top to bottom.

After reading it, he closed his eyes and focused on the panel.

Indeed, as he thought, there was Shadow Bind written in red on the bottom of the panel.

He smiled, "I should record all these arts now. As for the Qi refining Manual and Golden Core Manual, they are useless for me because I cannot cultivate them.. So, I will just read it once and try to get more knowledge about these states."
