Then, realization dawned on her. She asked, “A-Are you thinking of revealing the secret of the painting to grandpa in exchange for protection?” “Yes.” James nodded. He was now caught in a crossfire. Only Tobias could save him. However, Tobias would only willingly do so if James gave him the secret of the painting. “Alright.” Maxine did not say much. Then, James put the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge and the ancient scroll into the box. Maxine pushed James’ wheelchair, and they both left the basement to find Tobias. In the library of the Cadens’ courtyard… Tobias was reading a book. Knock! Knock! Knocks came from the other side of the door. “Grandpa, James would like to see you.” Putting his book aside, Tobias walked out of the room. James was sitting in a wheelchair, while Maxine stood beside him. Looking at James, Tobias asked, “What’s the matter?” James whispered, “I’ve discovered the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge.” “What?” Tobias

Maxine stared at the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge.She would never have imagined the painting to change when it encountered blood. On top of that, it only happened with James’ blood.“That’s the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge.” James looked at the excited Tobias and said, “I’ve told you the secret. From now onward, you have to protect me.”“That won’t be a problem. You’re a Caden. As the head of our family, how could I not offer you protection?”He picked up the painting and cackled with laughter. “Haha! The Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge’s mystery has finally been solved!”Suddenly, the picture returned to its original state.He asked anxiously, “What happened?”James answered, “How would I know? Maybe it needs more blood.”“Why did it work with your blood but not mine?”James shrugged. He had no idea as well.‘Why does it have to be mine?‘We’re both Cadens, so why does my blood change the painting, but his doesn’t?’ Thought James.“I need

Knocks came from the other side of the door.“Come in,” James answered weakly.The door was pushed open, and Maxine, dressed in a white dress, walked in.She did not have time to change her clothes, which had been stained red by James’ blood.“James,” She called out his name sweetly while walking toward him.“Mhm,” James responded gently. He asked, “Is your True Energy restored? I need you to circulate your True Energy and help me heal my wounds.”“I’ve recovered a little but not fully,” Maxine replied.James uttered softly, “I think the cultivation method in the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge requires two people.”Maxine asked, “Why do you think so?”James said, “I’m guessing what we did previously was correct. It just didn’t work because we lacked the cultivation method. After the painting encountered blood, the bright moon disappeared, and a scorching sun appeared. According to my understanding, the moon should represent Yin, while the sun represents Yang. Yang repres

Governor Vessels, Conception Vessels, and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians were crucial for martial artists. Those with low cultivation bases would not be able to regulate them.One would have to step into the fifth rank and have a solid cultivation base to activate them.Initially, Tobias was unsure about how James intended to heal his wounds.However, he was a grandmaster and a doctor, so he quickly spotted some clues.Healing his wounds was a bluff. His true intentions were to regulate his vessels and meridians.James had used him to insert acupuncture needles into his meridian and acupuncture points throughout his body to protect his heart meridian.Thus, no matter how much pain the body suffered, he would not die.Even so, his body was already in horrible condition and could not sustain more injuries.The layout of the acupuncture needles enabled the True Energy that was transfused into James’ body to gather rather quickly. Tobias’ True Energy accumulated inside James’ bo

Maxine quickly ran away from the force.However, she was not fast enough and was injured by the needles that came flying out.James’ body collapsed to the bed.Tobias was sweating profusely. He wiped the sweat beads off his face, looking at James with relief. “This young man is incredibly courageous. I can’t believe he came up with something so dangerous,” said Tobias.“Grandpa, how is he?”Maxine could not be bothered by the injuries on her body and quickly inquired about James, who was lying lifelessly on the bed, covered in blood.With a smile, Tobias stroked his white beard and said, “It was a success. His Governor Vessel, Conception Vessel, Eight Extraordinary Meridians, and every single vessel in his body were opened up. In theory, he should’ve entered the fifth rank.”“Really?” Maxine was shocked.“Does that mean we’ll be able to create more martial grandmasters of the fifth rank using this method?”Tobias shook his head and said, exhausted, “It’s not going to be easy

After leaving, Maxine headed to the closed-door meditation sanctuary in Tobias’ backyard.She knew that Tobias’ True Energy was depleted and that he would need to meditate to recover them.There was an independent wooden house in the backyard of the Cadens’ mansion. Maxine came to the wooden house and knocked lightly on the door.“Come in,” A voice sounded from inside the room.Maxine pushed the door open and walked inside the wooden house. She looked at Tobias. He was sitting in a lotus position, circulating his energy to replenish his depleted strength. “Grandpa,” She called out for him.“Yeah? What’s the matter?”“Grandpa, I’d like to request some rejuvenation pills.“Tobias turned to Maxine and questioned, “You didn’t exhaust your True Energy, so why do you need rejuvenation pills?”Maxine lowered her head and uttered embarrassedly, “I forcibly tried to exercise the meridian diagram, and my True Energy retrograded, causing a severe depletion.”Tobias did not pursue the

Maxine was a member of the Cadens and had studied the ancient language, so she could understand it.She shook her head slightly and said, “It seems to be a cultivation method. I’ve been researching the phrase for the past few days but found nothing. I’ve also tried dividing the words into two parts, but they didn’t seem to make any sense.”“Alright.” James nodded and said, “It’s been a secret for thousands of years. It wouldn’t be so easy to crack. Don’t worry. I believe we’ll be able to solve it eventually. However, I’ll have to leave soon.”“What?” Maxine was stunned for a moment. “Are you leaving?” She asked.James nodded and said, “I’ve been in the Capital for quite some time. I’ve got things to do in Cansington.”James was worried about Tiara.When he left, Tiara was still hospitalized. Since many days had passed, he was worried about how she was coping.Also, there was Thea.When he left, Thea seemed a little off, and he was worried that something would happen again.He

James was firm on leaving, so Tobias did not stop him.Tobias did not want to offend the great forces and make them his enemies for the sake of James. Still, he had already promised protection in exchange for the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge’s secret.Now that James had regulated his entire body’s meridians, he could be considered a fifth-rank grandmaster and had limitless potential. Given time, he would only rise up the ranks.This James was worthy of his protection.He immediately took out his phone and phoned Hades, the patriarch of the Johnstons.The call connected, and an unfriendly voice sounded from the phone, “Yo, who do I have here? Isn’t this Mr. Caden? What are you calling me for?”“Hades, I just wanted to inform you that from now onward, James is part of our family. His business equals the Cadens’ business.”Saying that, Tobias hung up. He then made a few calls to all the forces in the Capital, giving them the same message.His attitude was unyielding.Whoev
