Chapter 49: Closing the Net

Jiang Shouzhong returned home alone, feeling heavy-hearted.

He carefully replayed the day's events and increasingly felt that his encounter with the mysterious old man was no coincidence, but likely intentional.

But why would the old man want to approach him?

What was his purpose?

Jiang Shouzhong remembered the cultivation secret manual he had bought from the man and took it out to examine it closely.

To his shock, he discovered that the book was completely blank.

Every page was empty.

"Could this be the legendary 'Wordless Heavenly Scripture'?"

Jiang Shouzhong's thoughts leaped, "Was that old man a sage who noticed my exceptional talent and decided to train me to become an unparalleled expert?"

Jiang Shouzhong even amused himself with these fanciful thoughts.

Forget it, If trouble comes, deal with it; if the flood arrives, pile up earth against it.

If that old man truly meant him harm, what could he do other than resign himself to his fate?
