    Half a monthter.


    On a certain peak in San Cha mountain.


    A group of ash-grey mountain apes close to a thousand in numbers tightly surrounded Tie Ruo Nan


    while screeching and screaming.


    Tie Ruo Nan took in a deep breath, she suddenly waved her hand and shot arge cloud of golden


    needle Gu.


    Golden needle Gu was not a natural Gu but was a Gu created by Tie n’s Gu Masters. Every golden


    needle Gu was a rank two Gu, their length was around an index finger and were like thin golden


    needles.


    Golden needle Gu shot through the apes; some stood on the spot without being able to move, some


    died from poison and some were driven into a frenzy and actually began attacking their nearby


    companions.


    Tie Ruo Nan repeatedly shot out golden needles; there was chaos among the mountain apes and they


    suffered huge losses. In a sorry figure and while screeching miserably, they made their escape. Soon,


    the noisy battlefield quietened down.


    Large numbers of mountain apes were on the ground; some were dead and some were at theirst


    breaths.


    Tie Ruo Nan slowly walked past them and shot out golden needle Gu again.


    But this time, these golden needle Gu had healing effects, they shot into the mountain apes and turned


    into balls of golden light, moving back and forth between their injuries. Many mountain apes recovered


    their movement ability.


    Golden needle Gu by itself was not wondrous. But when matched with poison liquid Gu, it could turn


    into poison needle. When matched with stiff Gu, it could make the enemies unable to move a single


    step. When matched with chaotic mind Gu, it could cause chaos among the enemies making them


    unable to differentiate between their allies and enemies. And when matched with vitality Gu, it had


    healing properties.


    Tie Ruo Nan had spent around seven to eight days to be proficient in thebination of these four


    types of battle tactics. Thus, she was able to defeat close to a thousand mountain apes by herself.


    “Ruo Nan, this child has an outstanding talent with highprehension and more importantly, her


    nature is tenacious and resolute, she is indeed someone who will be a pir of Tie n.” Tie Mu


    Bai watched this nearby with no expression on his face, but his heart was full of praises.


    This old Tie n leader had seen the rise of countless talents in his life and also witnessed the fall of


    innumerable geniuses.


    He was very clear: In a dangerous and difficult environment, many outstanding geniuses would


    emerge. But talent was only one aspect, what mattered was the nature of the geniuses.


    If a genius could put up with hardships and endure loneliness, they would definitely have great


    aplishments in the future.


    A genius that had poor disposition could only be a shooting star, shining for only an instant.


    Why would Tie Mu Bai teach Tie Ruo Nan? On one hand, Tie Ruo Nan was blood-rted to Tie Xue


    Leng, who had certain rtionship with him; on the other hand, Tie Ruo Nan had been polished like


    limestone after a series of trials; all traces of impatience had gone leaving behind stability and


    perseverance.


    Tie Ruo Nan was like an unpolished jade that let out dazzling light after being polished slightly.


    “Old n leader.” Tie Ruo Nan climbed up the peak towards Tie Mu Bai and cupped her hands in


    greeting.


    The girl was full of admiration and respect towards this old man.


    Half a month ago, this old man Tie Mu Bai fought against two rank five experts of the demonic path by


    himself.


    He first used rank five turn gold Gu to contend with the two demons easily. Then, he used rank five


    liquid metal Gu to make these two experts back out and weakened their fighting spirits; the battle finally


    ended with both sides relenting.


    Tie Mu Bai’s strength was like a basin of cold water that poured on the hearts of the demonic Gu


    Masters, causing their rising mes of angers to weaken in an instant.


    The conclusion of the battle was that both righteous and demonic paths could contend for three kings


    inheritance. But everyone could clearly see how good Tie Mu Bai was and that he had not used his full


    strength.


    “Good. Being able to grasp this flexible battle tactic in such a short time is remarkable.” Tie Mu Bai


    praised indifferently as he casually waved his hand.


    Whoosh!


    Arge cloud of golden needle Gu shot out.


    However, different from Tie Ruo Nan’s golden needle Gu, the golden needle Gu Tie Mu Bai


    commanded were extremely small like raindrops.


    When they moved in the sky, they were like a cloud of golden fog.


    The golden fog moved with the wind and brushed past an area of boulders. Pitter-patter sounds as if


    thousands of silkworms were eating mulberries came from the giant boulders.


    Tie Ruo Nan’s pupils shrunk, immediately realizing the amazing aspect of this move.


    The golden fog infiltrated and prated the boulders, creating countless tiny holes in them. The trees


    nearby the boulders were also pierced through, all signs of life within them extinguished instantly.


    If someone were struck by these Gu, their whole body and insides would be perforated and destroyed;


    it was a really terrifying killer move!

    Tie Mu Bai casually waved his hand and threw out three golden needle Gu.


    These three golden needles were, however, different; they were thick and long. Normal golden needle


    Gu had a finger sized length, but these three golden needles had palm sized length.


    The three golden needle Gu flew and pierced into a mountain ape’s head.


    One shot like a perpendicr lightning, straight into the mountain ape from the top of its head, while


    the other two entered through the left and right temples; the needles almostpletely entering the


    mountain ape’s head with only a small portion remaining on the outside.


    This mountain ape had been healed by Tie Ruo Nan and was just making its escape when it was


    struck by the golden needles.


    The mountain ape let out a painful scream and leaped a couple of times, kneeling in front of Tie Mu


    Bai.


    The ape’s eyes were wide open with iparable panic, dread and anger.


    The strange thing was it could not control its body and kneeled down reverentially and without making


    any movements. It was not even able to let out a shout.


    Tie Ruo Nan had never expected to see such a peculiar scene and was stupefied for a while.


    Tie Mu Baiughed and looked at the mountain ape at his feet, he indifferently said: “Golden needle Gu


    combined with create fog Gu can form golden fog. This golden fog looks faint and weak, but is actually


    extremely powerful and is specialized in breaking through Gu Master’s defense. When I was twenty-


    eight and was roaming Southern Border, I used this move to dominate the region of Luchuan river.”


    Tie Mu Bai paused for a while and continued: “Golden needle Gubined with puppet control Gu,


    can take control of living bodies. When I was forty-two and my cultivation advanced to rank four peak


    stage, I ended my closed cultivation and began to roam the world to test my skills. When I arrived at


    Tie Mu mountain, I was attacked by a group of over fifty demonic path mountain bandits. I used this


    move to make thirty-eight of them defect and finally captured all of them and got rid of these evil


    beings.”


    Tie Ruo Nan became more fascinated the more she heard.


    Since her early years, she followed her father and travelled everywhere. And she had heard of this old


    n leader’s heroic deeds.


    The old n leader had A grade aptitude and revealed his talent the moment he started cultivating,


    bing the number one youth star of Tie n at that time. He also lived up to others’ expectations,


    advancing to rank four peak stage before fifty.


    He ended his secluded cultivation and roamed Southern Border, crossing mountains and rivers to test


    his skills, and made a name for himself.


    After returning to Tie n, he became the n leader and brought Tie n to new heights. For a while,


    Tie n was in such limelight that it made Wu n, Shang n and the rest lose their splendor.


    His whole life was filled with glory and brilliance. He had countless battle achievements under him,


    whether it was his lone achievements while roaming the Southern Border or leading a group of heroes


    to eliminate evil – he had few losses.


    The way he did his work was unyielding and domineering, daring to stand directly up to the enemies;


    many of his enemies would be terror stricken at the mention of him when he was reigning. Even


    righteous path figures would feel mental pressure when they heard Tie Mu Bai’s name.


    Right now, as Tie Ruo Nan listened to the old n leader recall those olden days indifferently, she


    became overwhelmed with emotions.


    She could not help imagining a scene.


    A hero at his prime, handsome and graceful, donning a blue robe, moved unhindered around the world.


    He defeated powerful enemies by himself, no one could block him and countless people watched him.


    However, time was ruthless, turning that young man into an elderly.


    But Tie Mu Bai was still Tie Mu Bai.


    Even if he was more old, it could not hide his glorious deeds.


    These battle aplishments were a dazzling halo that covered his body and even theyers of dust


    of history could not block its radiance.


    “Lord old n leader, I will not let you down, golden needle Gu will not shame your name in my hands!”


    Tie Ruo Nan spoke resolutely.


    The old man gratefully nodded and patted Tie Ruo Nan’s shoulder.


    “Child, you have a strong mind and our Tie n’s blood flows in your veins. You have to shoulder the


    responsibility of our Tie n’s children. I will teach you all that I know, and I hope that one day, you can


    be capable enough to raise the g of Tie n. I am leaving that little beast king Fang Zheng to you as


    your test, do you have confidence?”


    “I have confidence and also have a n. Old n leader, you can rest assured, Fang Zheng has


    alreadypletely fallen into the demonic path, I will definitely retrieve his head!” Tie Ruo Nan’s eyes


    shone with resolute light.


    “Good, do not be arrogant in victory or discouraged in defeat, you are able to get out of your shock and


    derive strength from your tribtion, this is something that is impossible for many youngsters. As long


    as you maintain this, you will definitely be the glory of Tie n! Now, I shall teach you the principle


    behind these two tactics along with my insights and experience in them, as well as all the other


    differentbinations that can be derived.”


    Like this, one taught diligently and another did her best to learn.


    After over an hour, Tie Mu Bai finished teaching everything: “Good, you can ask me anything you are


    unclear about.”


    Tie Ruo Nan had outstandingprehension ability and had already engraved all the teachings into


    her mind.


    However, she thought for a while and asked: “These days, I have found that the opening time of three


    kings inheritance has been getting shorter and the amount of Gu Masters that can enter has also been


    getting lesser. The three light pirs are no longer as thick and bright as before. Right now, there has


    been many rumors saying the blessednd is already nearing its end. Is this true?”


    Tie Mu Bai nodded: “It is indeed so.”


    “You are still not ready to learn some things. All living things exist in bnce – with darkness, there is


    light; with water there is fire; with blessing, there is cmity.” His gaze turned towards the peak of San


    Cha mountain and sighed: “Every blessednd will face earthly cmity every ten years and heavenly


    tribtion every hundred years. This blessednd originated from a mysterious Gu Immortal from


    ancient times and waster was inherited by the three kings and remodelled into this inheritance site.”


    “This blessednd is already old, its lifespan is almost at its end. And spirit could prolong this time,


    but unfortunately there is nond spirit here.”


    “A blessednd without and spirit is an enormous boat that is sinking. Anyone can enter inside and


    plunder the treasures within. The more they plunder, the bigger the holes in this giant boat and the


    quicker it would sink. This Gu Immortal blessednd is already nearing its end and will onlyst for less


    than ten years before it is destroyed due to the exhaustion of immortal essence.”
