Formation masters

A peaceful day for Yao Chen, he decided to take a tour around the city.

Today, he was heading to the alchemist guild to look for some herbs and pills mentioned in the 2nd chapter of Shije zui qiang.

It's not that he never heard of those herbs before, but there are some looked expensive, he didn't have the slightest idea of the market price. Thus he decided to take a look.

Upon arriving at the main tower he went to the stalls around.

"hey boss how much is that?"

"ten gold tales."

"...I will come back after taking a look"

Hearing the price Yao Chen only smiled and went forward.

If he has to squeeze all his saving there wouldn't be more than a few gold tales.

As he was wandering around he noticed a group of people wearing plain grey robe and a hood. They all had a imposing aura around them making others a bit uncomfortable.

They are moving here and there.. Looked like they are lost.

Yao Chen's curiosity piqued and he went straight and approached them.

"hello, can I help you?" looking closely they were a group of middle-aged men, among them there was a old man in his sixties.

"oh.." they looked at Yao Chen amusingly.

"little friend, can you guide us to the city lord office?" one of the middle aged man.

"city Lord's office? That would on the other direction.. Let me guide you." Yao Chen put a act of an honest citizen.

"thank you little friend, we are here the formation masters team assigned for the new secret realm. it's kinda embarrassing, but we got lost, and these people are avoiding us for some reason." one of the youngest looking man said.

'of course with these outfit and your aura, you look more like from some cult.'

" also we can't use our spiritual energy in puplic places you know.. "

" yeah... " Yao Chen smiled awkwardly and moved forward.

While walking they chatted a lot... These people seemed very friendly unlike their aura.

If not for the fact that the whole alchemy guild is protected by the hidden guards, he wouldn't dare to to approach them.

"so where is the new secret realm?" asked Yao Chen.

"it's in the territory of the Ning Family." the old man said.

"what? Ning Family?" Yao Chen Exclaimed.

"um.. Is there something wrong?" on of them asked.

"oh, no no.. It's nothing."

After a while they reached in front of the city lord's office.

"I should take my leave now, take care masters." Yao Chen bowed.

"haha.. We don't know the little friends name?"

"it's Yao Chen" he said politely.

"oh.. Yao? " the old man pondered for a while and sighed.

"little friend here take this."

The old man took out a necklace from his storage pouch and handed it over to Yao Chen.

"this.." Yao Chen acted reluctant. If not for the modesty he would just grab it right away.

"this is a crimson jade, it can assist you in your breakthrough." the old man smiled.

"thank you very much." Yao Chen accepted it and bid farewell.

On his way back home there are many questions on his mind.

Also he was very excited.

"mother?" upon arriving at home he straight went to his mother's room.

"mm.. Chen'er? What is it?" she invited him inside.

"mother, you said you are at the peak of profound spirit realm?" he asked.

"yes? What about it?" she was a little confused.

"here.." he extended his hand and handed the crimson jade over her.

"this.." she looked surprised as she felt the abundant spiritual energy fluctuations.

"this is a crimson jade.. It will assist you in your breakthrough."

"!!!" she frowned.

"what?"

"where did you get this from?" she held him on his place and asked.

He tried to move but couldn't. "hehe.."

And he explained everything.

"formation masters you said?" she asked.

"yes.. Also they are from the capital." he added.

"well.. For formation masters from capital, this crimson jade wouldn't worth much." she muttered to herself.

"okay mother you should go for seclusion for a while."

"yeah.. I guess."

After that they both went back to their room.

He took off his upper robe. And sat down half naked.

This time his body looked more refined and shiny. His posture improved drastically and his muscles became tighter.

Compared to yesterday it's a significant change.

He still cannot figure out how this book works and how the dream related to him.

Whenever he faced a problem, another dream and the problem solved? What this all about?

For some reason the half torn down looked very mysterious.

His mother just gave it to him on a whim, never did they both thought it's really very mysterious.

"let's see what mysteries it contains."

He went to his bed and laying down closed his eyes.

...

"Finally!" a young man exclaimed looking at the coffin in front of him, which is barely visible in this dark atmosphere.

He raised his foot and got closer and closer..

He was very excited yet anxious.

He slowly extended his right arm touched the coffin. Which was cold.

The jade coffin itself was fraught of profound qi. But he didn't bother to cultivate.

"hm.. This should be here... I have been looking for this for years now."

H e said before pushing opening the jade coffin.

But for his surprise there isn't anything but a scroll.

"this..." he got confused but picked it up.

Cutting open the lock he opened the scroll.

(Mingyon de mu guang zhi huo)

'Destiny's Twilight Fire' he muttered and started to cultivate there...

"This 'Destiny's twilight fire' is one of the seven primordial soul fire in the history, The Eternal Demonic legacy... The twilight fire.

Even the people I considered brothers.. Fought to death for it, but now it has fallen into my arms".

"haaaaahahhaaaha.." he started laugh like a Maniac.

After closing the scroll he smiled. But instantly got interrupted by a hoarse voice.

"Yang Feng! Hahaha.. I found you bastard."

This voice contained pain but the pressure it formed nearly made the cave collapse.

"It's you again? What's wrong with you ? Why are you after me? why do you appear wherever I go?"

Yang Feng cringed and turned around ignoring him.

"You... What did you say?" just as he finished these words it pounced on him.

It wasn't a human but just a black smoke shadow.

"huh?" Yang Feng leaped backwards and dodged.

"stay still you bastard." the shadow roared.

"huh? Okay.. I just learned a new technique why not test it out?" a grin formed his face as the words left his mouth, he extended his arms and made a grasping pose.

*voosh* within a breath a purple flame engulfed, stunning the shadow in spot and covering the whole surroundings..

" this.. How is this possible? The Eternal Demonic twilight flame of destiny?" the shadow quickly noticed the changes in the surroundings and gulped hard.

The dark smoke disappeared for it's surroundings, leaving a peerless beauty.

If not for her special constitution she might have burned to nothingness.

"just wait you bastard... I am retreating for today.. But I will come back again." with this said, she turned into her shadow form again and disappeared from the spot.

"come again? Hahaha.. What's with this little bit*h ? " Yang Feng smiled and slowly walked out of the cave.
