The Northern Sword God
Man Straw Coat
Mr. Morenyu had finally provided a special room in the New Treasure Hall for the headmaster to cultivate to do the fusion of the power coming from the Hell's Pigeons. He did realize, a great deal of killing aura was surreptitiously sticking out, when he saw Fang Ming Hoa win the auction of the Hell's Pigeon.
That Headmaster of Ling Jian Academy finally breathed a sigh of relief, by cultivating in the Treasure Hall, under the direct supervision of Mr. Morenyu.

By itself, since then the New Treasure Hall has shifted the position of the Tower of Suar which initially dominated the trade in resources in the North. Seeing that progress, since then there have also been many practitioners who register their valuable findings for sale at the New Treasure Hall.
Mr. Morenyu even began to contact practitioners who he considered to be potential members of the Bat King Palace, where compensation in the form of sword arts techniques and empty palms, when members of the organization completed the mission, making the experts he contacted immediately interested in pledging allegiance as a secret member of the Bat King's Palace.
Mr. Morenyu also did not recklessly recruit members. He asked that all those intending to join the Bat King Palace should take the Heavenly Oath, so that all the secrets of the hidden organization would be kept awake. And of course the payment the Bat King Palace members received was not simple items either.
Officially also, the Treasure Hall now holds a Competition every 6 months to select the younger generation in the Northern Region. They even published a Ranking List of 50 young Geniuses throughout the northern region.
With the reward of abundant resources, of course every competition of young genius of the New Treasure Hall was very eye-catching. Lots of new heroes and new geniuses sprung up in the Northern Region.
Slowly but surely, there was an increase in cultivation in the martial experts in the Northern Region, after the presence of the New Treasure Hall. Of course, as long as one had sufficient Energy Stones, then the New Treasure Hall would provide : pills, talismans, copies of cultivation techniques or sword techniques.
Even weapons and battle appendages such as armor and other heavenly rank, were always available in the showrooms of the New Treasure Hall. Such items are essential in assisting a practitioner in a battle where the critical value of an expert's battle will be even sharper.
"This Treasure Hall will be even more perfect when Master Yong has sent the trained Alchemist" Morenyu smiled as he watched the crowd of practitioners who filled the New Treasure Hall's showroom and bought those resource items.

The spirit ship drove through the cold air where the snow seemed to fall non-stop. Luckily the Spirit Ship that Sima Yong bought from the Shi Clan, was specially made to deal with snowstorms when crossing borders between regions like this.
Entering the second week of their journey full of monotonous scenery, white and gray, in the end Wan Hui shouted loudly from the direction of the ship bridge.
"Smoke !"
"I saw a puff of smoke up ahead. Must be smoke coming from the village or the city on the other end!"
Wan Hui shrieked with excitement. How not? for two whole weeks they lived among the ice from the sky, and in the face of the monotonous white landscape.
"Ahaha... Finally, the civilization of living beings" Jiang Fai followed happily when he saw a puff of smoke in the distance there.
Sima Yong sat out of the cabin, looking at the smoke in the distance. He said slowly.
"We will stop by for a while in the city, to ask which direction we should go to the Hell of the World"
"My gut feeling is bad" Sima Yong said. These few days he felt as if they were on someone's mat.
***
The city they met after a few weeks of travel was named Periferiya City which means Border. The city of Perifeya is relatively not too crowded, where the city streets look quite quiet, and very rarely city residents cross the road.
"Perhaps because of winter, where the atmosphere of snowfall like this, makes people feel more at home" Sima Yong said, when Fei Ma asked suspiciously, asking, look at that lonely town.
"Let's go find a place to eat, all looking for information about where the Hell of the World is" Sima Yong told the others.
They all rushed down the empty street, and their eyes fell on a signpost on a wooden building that read "Winter's Dinner"
A male servant came out to greet the four of them, and immediately asked them about the menu they were going to eat.
"A blank papao, vegetable noodles or a meat dish of bear site soup?" ask the waiter.
"Did you not have another menu? Fruits for example?" ask Fei Ma.
"I'm sorry sir, this restaurant is just a small restaurant in a remote town anyway. We can only prepare a meal as I mentioned earlier" the servant replied, so they ordered all the dishes mentioned by the waiter.
"I'll be back after about one burning hio" the waiter turned to the kitchen, which seemed to be puffing smoke incessantly.
Fei Ma glanced at the attention again of all the restaurant guests he counted, no more than ten of them,
"Their average wears thick clothing such as a bear leather jacket or a long coat of mink fur. Even some of them were wearing cold-restraint clothes from the eagle's fur" Fei Ma whispered while clucking in admiration.
While chugging the drink in front of him, Sima Yong indifferently said,
"They are rich people. To be able to wear an eagle fur coat as well as bear fur like that, a very high cost is required.
Only people of the nobility or rank-level clans had the financial ability to purchase such luxury items" Wan Hui and Jiang Fai clucked in admiration at the explanation earlier.
The snow fell more and more, so the road was then covered with a small pile of ice, which then made the scenery sparkle white. Jiang Fai and Wan Hui started to shiver.
"After lunch, we will go to the clothing store and buy some winter coats, so that our dress looks similar to the locals" Sima Yong said.
Everyone then glanced towards the way the four of them dressed. The clothes they wear are full-color summer clothes, made of mind fabric (cloth is a fabric woven from flower-patterned or colorful cotton). While others wear thick clothes.
"Black or dark color it is suitable in use in cold places. It is useful to absorb the heat, so that the user feels a little warmth" Fei Ma explained to two young people who were with them.
Sima Yong only smiled when he heard that the three people were busy looking at their clothes which now looked strange.
Meanwhile, from the outside they noticed someone walking firmly through the snowfall. That person was not wearing an expensive fur coat like the others, but rather was wearing a coat made from ordinary straw.
On his head, he wore a dou peng that was also made of straw matting. The strange man with the straw coat sounded like humming, with poetry or wise words that are usually memorized by satrawans.
As the straw-coated man drew closer to the restaurant, Sima Yong whispered in an indifferent tone,
"The straw coat has at least cultivation in the SAGE Quasi realm. Ah I think it's more than that...
Look at his footsteps, did his footsteps leave marks on the snow?"
Jiang Fai and Wan Hui stared at the footprints left by the straw robe.
"Surprisingly, there is not the slightest trace of it" Jiang Fai whispered in admiration.
