SUPREME ARCH-MAGUS

Healing sun peak...

A full hour had passed since Sophia brought Kent to the new residence. While she is demonstrating each and every function of the palace, Kent patiently followed her.

Sophia, who always acted stoic and serious with other disciples, completely forgot her proud demeanor. Before Kent, she ignored all the formalities and roamed around the house like a little girl.

"Kent, this is the fixed communication jade to contact the servants." Sophia said while showing the fixed glass orb on the wooden table. "Wait, how could I miss this? Give me your communication orb." Sophia asked excitedly as she took out her communication orb.

As she joined the two orbs, their contacts were exchanged. Sophia continued to swipe on Kent's Sky Orb and began adding him to the Haling sun peak forum, sect forum, and official forums of the Golden Bamboo City. Kent, leaning forward, stared at her action with a calm face.

"See this… This is the Golden Arena forum. Disciples from various sects gather in Golden arena on every no-moon day for combat tournaments. You can also watch live combat fights on this forum. If you ever go out, visit this place. It's a massive aerial arena, and several underground pit arenas surround it."

"At present, Jade Mountain disciples occupy the top 5 spots in the arena. My brother is in the 6th position. Do you know Jade Mountain, right?" Sophia asked while adding the official administrative forum of Golden Bamboo City to Kent's orb.

"Yeah, the third sect in Golden Bamboo City. I heard they were proficient in body cultivation." Kent replied casually.

Sophia, who is staring at Sky Orb, didn't respond to him. Her gaze was locked on the forum news.

"Sophie… Sophie…" Kent shook her shoulder.

Sophia, who woke up from her daze, hurriedly placed the sky orb in Kent's hand. "Sorry Kent. I need to go now. Next time, I will bring basic manuals for you." Sophia replied in a stuttering tone, and she had already begun moving out.

"What happened?!" Kent questioned her while following her.

"I will tell you later." Sophia replied as she mounted her pet. Before Kent could say another word, her mountain lion dashed away from Kent's palace.

With a confused face, Kent moved his gaze onto the sky orb. After seeing the visuals of Chen family gate, which contained the warning notice of the poison sect, Kent understood the reason behind her sudden departure. Below the picture, the attack of the poison sect on the Chen family is clearly written in a few lines.

After reading everything, Kent walked back inside his residence while holding the sky orb. He directly fell on the soft bed and began thinking about the long-haired lady who saved him twice from the poison attack.

"It seems like I need to make elixir cures first." Kent muttered as he thought of potion-making. Suddenly, he remembered the palm leaf manuscript given by the long-haired girl. He hurriedly stood up and took out the manuscript, which is written on palm leaves.

The title "Tome of Destruction and Restoration" is written in bold letter on the first leaf. With a curious look, Kent unwinds the vine thread that holds the palm leaves in serial order. As he turned the first leaf, he saw the symbol of poison sect, a black cobra. The name of the poison sect is scribed below the cobra symbol.

As Kent turned the leaves, he saw the names of 133 poisons and their corresponding elixir cures listed in the beginning. Each poison is meticulously cataloged in serial order according to its grade and potency, with the most lethal poisons listed first.

Among the 133 entries, 110 were individual poisons, each with its own unique properties and effects. These poisons ranged from subtle toxins to deadly venoms capable of causing swift and agonizing death.

In addition to the individual poisons, the tome also documented 13 combat poisons specifically designed for use in large-scale wars. These potent concoctions were capable of devastating entire armies, spreading chaos and destruction with their deadly effects.

However, the true power of the tome lay not in its knowledge of destruction but in its ability to facilitate recreation. Alongside each poison entry, detailed information on the corresponding elixir cure and concocting process is mentioned clearly.

Kent forgot about his surroundings and was immersed in reading the contents of the tomb. The information about 13 warfare poisons grabbed his attention.

Golden Bamboo City... Moon Brook family estate

Among the four big families in Golden Bamboo City, the Moon Brooke family is second in place after the Chen family. After marrying Joya Semen from Silver Leaf City, the Moon Brook family grew financially well, monopolizing the potion market in Golden Bamboo City.

Inside the estate of the Moon Brook family, Black Belle Miss, AKA Ria Semen, and her aunt Joya Semen sat in a closed room. After the incident with Kent, the black belle miss came to meet her aunt Joya, who practiced the same forbidden yang technique.

"How can you make such a silly mistake? Do you forget about family?" Joya, the middle-aged beauty and most respected lady of the Moon Brook family, questioned Ria with a furious look.

"Ah… Ahhh…" Ria's sobbing continued as she hid her face in her palms. "Aunt... I'm really saying the truth. I don't know how my aura channels got blocked at that time. I felt like a mortal in that situation." Ria spoke in a stuttering tone.

Ria's sobbing reverberated in the room. Thankfully, Joya has already sent away all the servants outside the house, and there is no other family at the moment.

"Do you want me to believe that? I can't even imagine the consequences, if this matter leaks to outsiders. I thought of making you the queen of the Moon Brook family after me. But you turned everything upside down." Joya said angrily while clutching her head.

"Aunty, please find a solution to this problem. I don't want to be the reason for the downfall of our family." Ria said in a weak tone while controlling her sobbing.

"Hmm, it's not going to be that easy. Our grandma mentioned that the forbidden yang technique originated from 'Ember fire forbidden arts' followed by poison sect virgin girls. It is really hard to get help from the poison sect. I will try my best to find a solution to your problem."

"But staying here won't do you any good. Tomorrow, I will ask the patriarch to join you in the same sect as Larry, your promised groom. Mostly, Larry is going to be the next patriarch of the Moon Brook family. So, stay attached to him and make him fall in love with you. Understood?" Joya asked while getting up from the bed.

Ria, who stopped sobbing, nodded her head while staring at Joya's face.
