Chosen Man
Dongnan State
The appearance of the gray-robed man could be said to be very bad. He sat there quietly drinking wine and chewing fresh fruit, if described, then his appearance was almost like a market street bum.
All that looked good from him were his bright, clean eyes, sharp as a sword.
The gray-robed man knocked on the table and spewed fresh fruit seeds from his mouth.
He chuckled and said, "Old Master Wong, assassins are not death fighters who can look upon death calmly. They should not be ordinary people who easily provoked his emotions, nor was it an old swordsman who could kill someone within ten steps and leave no trace. Therefore, I will not do the same thing as what ordinary assassins do."
Old Man Wong asked with great interest, "Then what do you think a true killer should be?"
The gray-robed young man pointed to his nose. “Same as me. When I am not on a murder job, I will bury my identity in a pile of dust, and I will look just like every ordinary person in the mortal world, the point is I never do anything that overestimates my abilities.”
Wang's parents scoffed. "But you are not an ordinary citizen. You're just doing this to hide your identity. It can't be considered smart."
The gray-robed man chuckled and went back to drinking a cup of wine, then he said, “A killer must be able to rely on himself to be able to blend in with life in the mortal world. The killer must perform the same behavior as everyone in his or her neighborhood, mingling with ordinary society. Only then could they make the target off guard and kill him with a single strike."
But Old Man Wong seems to be in no mood to talk nonsense. He then asked directly at the core, "What do you think of this mission?"
The gray-robed man stood up from his chair and pointed to a wine jug while saying, “Let's have half this wine left for me. When I come back, then we will drink and chat with the happy news.”
As he spoke, he placed both of his hands behind and walked out of the Jindan Shop.
"If you can't do it, don't push yourself."
Old Man Wong couldn't help but worry and remind him.
"Don't worry. If I can't handle it, I will definitely run away. Oh yes, but if I don't come back in ten days, then the remaining half of the wine in the jug, can be yours."
From afar, the laughter of the gray-robed man could be heard.
On the crowded streets, he was like an inconspicuous wave that disappeared in an instant.
.
It was midday and with a clear cloud sky.
In the courtyard, under a cool tall tree.
Feng Zun lay on the rocking chair of the rattan and checked the beast leather scroll in his hand.
He had obtained quite a lot from the Auction Conference today.
He bought a single trunk of the Spiritual Pine Tree with sixty middle-grade spirit stones and fixed his rotational chair to be more comfortable.
Then, he used a secret technique of spiritual awareness refinement to exchange for the 'Xuan Devouring' beast skin in this hand.
As for that demonic embryo, it could only be considered an unexpected gift.
The savage beast skin scroll in his hand was the skin of a level nine Xuan Devouring Beast spirit beast.
When ordinary cultivators saw this, they would definitely be confused and unable to discern its depth.
But in Feng Zun's eyes, this messy Dao trail could be considered a peerless treasure!
This was because there was a trace of elemental runes from the 'Dao Wind'. Although that skin had lost its divine aura long ago, as long as a cultivator could calmly and feel it deeper, then one could still understand some of the true essence of the 'wind element' from the trail left.
"Over this time I have comprehended the Fire and Thunder Dao element runes at a perfect level, whereas the Yin Yang and Wind element runes, I have only mastered them at the lowest level."
Feng Zun thought to himself.
The Dao of Fire, Thunder, Yin Yang, Wind, and Space were the Five Ultimate Elements, which Feng Zun wanted to master perfectly in order to be able to qualify to attain the highest cultivation of the Great Dao.
"Sister Feng, what are you planning next?"
Shuoxue's clothes had changed into light and elegant indigo-colored dresses. Her skin was as white as snow while her appearance was like a fairy.
"I will go to Great Dongnan, the City of the Nine Furnaces."
Feng Zun replied casually.
Great Dongnan was a prosperous country of resources, it made Emperor Long finally move the Long Imperial Palace from Jade City to Nine Furnace City, in Great Dongnan.
Although the capital of the Long Empire was actually Jade City, but due to the move of the Long Imperial Palace to Great Dongnan, over time gradually various large businesses in Jade City began to move to the Nine Furnace City, the city of the Jade Kingdom began to move to the Nine Furnace City, Great Dongnan's.
Since Feng Zun had already come to the Long Empire, there was no reason for him not to travel to the Nine Furnace City.
If now the Long Empire was said to be a hegemon of the Luo Mainland, then the Nine Furnace City had turned into the heart of the Long Empire.
It was said that the city was filled with old cultivators hiding in seclusion.
Moreover, the Eternal Lotus Competition was about to begin two months from now.
Feng Zun also planned to see if he could meet Princess Han Mei and Zhenyu in Nine Furnace City this time.
"Could it be that Big Brother Feng also wants to participate in the Eternal Lotus Competition?"
Shuoxue's eyes sparkled.
Feng Zun said in a daze, "I'm not interested in the Eternal Lotus Competition. However, if it is needed, then it is possible that I will participate."
Long Guisha once said that the Eternal Lotus Island was a mysterious place that had many ancient opportunities or treasures, and it was very likely that the place would have clues related to the core of the Darkness Concealing Energy.
However the condition to enter the Eternal Lotus Island was the Lotus Seal, which could only be obtained by participating in the Eternal Lotus Competition and becoming the ten greatest.
Therefore, even though Feng Zun was not too interested in the Eternal Lotus Competition, yet if he really had no other way to obtain the Lotus Seal, it would be, then Feng Zun did not mind to take on the Eternal Lotus Competition.
