The Magician of Cultivation

'Drunkard Fish' does not have a fishy smell, but instead has a light and refreshing fragrance.

The fish meat is delicate and melts in your mouth. You can smell the rich aroma of wine rushing straight to the top of your head, making your brain feel dizzy.

As the fish meat enters the stomach, the energy contained in it also explodes.

The life energy turns into a warm current that quickly flows throughout the body, making people feel so comfortable that they want to moan.

It feels like coming home from a hard day's work and soaking in a warm bathtub. The warm water surrounds you, washing away all the dirt and bitterness.

The eyes of the three fifth-level warriors lit up, and they temporarily stopped talking, carefully savoring this rare delicacy in the world.

…………………………..…..

The South City District of Imperial City is the sphere of influence of the Chen family, one of the four major families. It is also home to the only magic and martial arts academy in Imperial City - Huaiyuan Magic and Martial Arts Academy.

'Huaiyuan Magic and Martial Arts Academy' has a long history, dating back two hundred years.

25 people died in that "beast tide", while the total population of Imperial City at that time was only 73, which was more than one-third.

After the "Beast Tide", people worked hard to learn martial arts, and a large number of young people gained a sense of qi and embarked on the path of cultivation.

But there is no magic and martial arts academy in Yucheng, only a few privately-run primary schools.

This leads to a contradiction between the teaching capacity in the Imperial City and the increasing demand for education.

The lord of the Imperial City at that time was Chen Huaiyuan, who was also the ancestor of the Chen family.

He proposed to establish the 'Imperial City Magic and Martial Arts Academy'. As long as one is a citizen of the Imperial City and has sufficient age and talent, he can enter the academy to study.

The first president of the "Imperial City Magic and Martial Arts Academy" was Chen Huaiyuan. In order to express gratitude for his contribution to Imperial City, the name was changed to "Huaiyuan Magic and Martial Arts Academy" after official approval.

Although the Huaiyuan Magic and Martial Arts Academy has not produced a fifth-level strongman since its establishment, most of the fighters in Yucheng, including Chen Tiexin, Qiao Hongying, Song Rui and other martial arts masters, have studied in the academy when they were young.

It was just dawn.

Outside a secluded courtyard in the academy, hurried footsteps were heard.

Tan Lang, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes, frowned slightly, and flashed out of the courtyard.

Soon, Tan Lang met up with the newcomers.

"What's the matter?"

Tan Lang asked with a frown, a hint of anger in his voice.

He told Sun Xiaowei that the academy was a place for quiet cultivation, and that unless there was something extremely important, he should not come here to find him.

"Brother, I found out that this 'beast tide' ended early because of a person named Li Yu."

"Oh?"

Tan Lang had forgotten about this matter, but he became excited after hearing this.

After he was pulled away by Chen Tiexin, the two of them discussed martial arts insights all night long.

One of them is engaged in academic research, the other is obsessed with martial arts; one is at a high level, the other has sufficient theoretical knowledge.

When we get together, we will meet talented people, drink with close friends, and have a long conversation all night long, and we will feel that we have benefited a lot.

"Let's leave the academy first!"

Tan Lang looked back, then strode out of the school.

Sun Xiaowei had a gloomy expression and said nothing, just following him silently.

The two of them quickly left Huaiyuan Magic and Martial Arts Academy, found a secluded place and began to talk.

"Tell me in detail, who is Li Yu? Did the Eagle King die at his hands?"

Tan Lang sat casually on a stone bench by the roadside and motioned Sun Xiaowei to sit down as well.

"Big brother!"

Sun Xiaowei's eyes were a little bloodshot, and he said in a low voice:

"My brother and I have been following our eldest brother for almost thirteen years. We have done a lot of wrong things over the years. But we are truly devoted to our eldest brother and the mercenary group."

"When we joined the mercenary group, there were only a dozen of us, but now the Greedy Wolf Mercenary Group has no less than a thousand people."

Tan Lang frowned when he heard this, not understanding why Sun Xiaowei suddenly brought up this topic.

He sighed and comforted:

"We are all brothers. There is no right or wrong. Don't worry, Brother Dawei's matter will not be let go. As long as we find that person, I..."

"Brother, I found the person."

“Found…found it?”

Tan Lang was choked and asked with a somewhat ugly expression, "Since you have found it, tell me, where is that person?"

"That's the magician named Li Yu. His flying mount is the third-level magic flame eagle."

Sun Xiaowei's face became distorted, and he gritted his teeth and said, "The Demon Flame Eagle lives in the north of the kingdom, near the Flame Mountain of the Fire Nation."

"This large bird of prey is almost 100% a peak fifth-order magical beast when it grows up. It is even stronger than the Eagle King in Qixia Mountain."

"Young Magic Flame Eagles are extremely rare. It is almost impossible to see them in the southern part of the kingdom. There is absolutely no such coincidence."

Sun Xiaowei's eyes were bloodshot, and he growled like a wounded beast: "My brother must have been crippled by Li Yu. Big brother, you must avenge my brother!"

He looked up at Tan Lang and met his cold gaze.

Sun Xiaowei was stunned and immediately realized that his behavior was inappropriate.

Who is Tan Lang?

The youngest great martial artist in the kingdom, known as the number one under the Martial King.

He entered the Great Martial Master class with murderous intent, and how could he be bound by emotions when his heart and sword were directed?

After all, the brothers joined the mercenary group for their own needs.

Regardless of their merits and hard work, after the mercenary group became powerful, the two brothers also reaped many benefits.

If Sun Xiaowei had explained the situation directly at the beginning, Tan Lang would not have been angry.

But he was too smart for his own good. He played the emotional card first and then tried to force others to do it.

"Humph!"

Tan Lang snorted coldly and said in a cold voice: "Sun Xiaowei, you are becoming more and more rude. Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Sun Xiaowei's body trembled, his knees went weak and he knelt down.

"Brother, you misunderstood!"

He gritted his teeth and said in a trembling voice, "I want to remind big brother that Li Yu is an enemy, not a friend."

As a magician, Sun Xiaowei is naturally sensitive.

He knew that Tan Lang had tolerated his misbehavior for half a year and his patience had reached its limit.

Judging from the murderous intent emanating from Tan Lang, if he didn't handle it properly, the madman would most likely chop him to pieces.

"Brother, I was too impatient. I hope you will forgive me this time because we saved you before."

He kept knocking his head, and in the blink of an eye his face was covered in blood.

Tan Lang stared at him for more than ten breaths before he said in a cold voice:

"I will kill Li Yu. After this, your brother's life-saving grace has been repaid. You can take care of yourself!"

After saying this, Tan Lang left, leaving Sun Xiaowei standing there in a daze.

His mind kept recalling the past, and his facial expression changed, from reminiscence and regret to madness and distortion.

"Tan Lang, I have followed you for so many years, yet you are so heartless. It's fine if you break off the friendship with me. After I get my revenge, I will not serve you anymore."

Sun Xiaowei stood up straight, his expression almost insane.

He didn't dare to shout out loud, but roared hysterically in his heart: "But the Greedy Wolf Mercenary Group is mine, and the one who should leave is you!"

The expression on his face was so distorted that it was intimidating.
