"Yin-Yang forbidden arts..."
Cao Jinxing sat on Yinghuo's back, leafing through a book. Fourteen curled up between his legs, and the fierce winds parted on their own before him.
"No Withering Art..."
Cao Jinxing searched the entire secret manual of forbidden arts Ehuang had left behind, but found no [Withering Art]. Presumably, it had already been lost during the Western Han, and Dongfang Shuo might have happened upon a cultivation method outside the inherited teachings...
Still, aside from the missing Withering Art, many of the other curse seals and forbidden arts were excellent inheritances. Every secret art of the Five Elements was included.
[Yin-Yang Harmonizing Qi Hand], [Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow], [Supreme Heaven and Vast Earth], [White Dew Outshines Frost]...
"This should be pretty useful to Lu Yi. I'll squeeze something out of him for it one of these days."
Cao Jinxing smiled, put the book away, and looked down. They had already crossed the vast ocean and reached the Capital City's territory. He could faintly make out the Forbidden City. After a month away, he rather missed everyone at the Northern Pacification Office.
"Home again... and there's a father-in-law here..."
Thinking of Huang Huaijiang in the Ghost Market, Cao Jinxing felt helpless. News from the East Sea had probably already arrived. Who knew how angry he would be?
Then there was Huang Fangling, recuperating in seclusion at Medicine King Valley, who also needed soothing. She might not know yet, but her master Wan Mizhai certainly did. Just thinking about all this left Cao Jinxing a little weary. One step at a time...
Before long, Yinghuo entered the capital and arrived above the Northern Pacification Office.
"Hold tight."
Cao Jinxing tucked the plump Fourteen back into his waist pouch, then leaped down!
Bang!
He plummeted dozens of yards
