I Can Grant Origin Powers To Anything

“Young man, I can tell from your skeletal structure that you have an extremely rare talent. You must be a one in a million prodigy in the martial arts. Now that the Blue Planet has ascended, mutant beasts are ravaging our homes, and foreign species are invading our land, our people are in grave danger. Here, I have an [Infinite Demon God Physique Training Method], I’ll give it to you for just two dollars. You shall be entrusted with the mission of maintaining world peace.” Xu Lingyun was touched. He said, “I can’t believe that you can actually see my true potential. Here’s four dollars, no need to give me change.” The scammer took the money, left him a fake secret training manual, and left feeling content. Xu Lingyun brought the secret manual home. He slapped the cover of the book. Instantly, the aged, tattered book started emanating a magnificent array of lights. An ancient and powerful aura filled the air, dominating the stars and piercing through the age. A fake? Oh please, in front of me, there is no such thing as “description may not match the actual item, please see the actual item”.

Tales of Folk Feng Shui Mysteries

I was born in the 1980s, and officially stepped into the world of Feng Shui in 2006. Over the past decade, I’ve witnessed mysteries that most would never believe. In 2013, over 100,000 fish died mysteriously in Liaozhong Reservoir… In Tower Bay Street, spirits marched in a ghostly parade… In Wenguantun, shadowy markets rose at dusk… And in front of the Shenyang Imperial Palace, a ghostly princess once sat in her palanquin. Were these the workings of nature — or something far more ancient and unseen? In ten years, I’ve saved lives — and yes, I’ve ruined some too. Feng Shui is like a blade: it bears no evil or virtue. The darkness lies in the hearts of men. This book is not written to boast about my mastery or to chase after the sensational. I write to share a truth: Feng Shui can nurture life — or destroy it. There is no good or evil in the art itself. Only in the human heart.

Surprisingly, it is not badly written, but it would have been better to work more on the plot, the origin of the mc is confusing, although he appears out of nowhere, he already has a job and there is no problem with his origin, but you don't read these types of stories thinking about the plot, since there is none.

Amazing story so far, all most as good as of the Mages world. The origin stories get a bit boring sometimes but the main characters progression makes up for it.

There are many versions of the origin of the Chinese folk story, Zongzi. The following is one of the more popular ones: According to legend, dumplings were originally invented to worship Qu Yuan. At that time, Qu Yuan was exiled to the Miluo River because he was framed by treacherous officials. In order to commemorate him, people began to throw food into the river. Later, when people found that the food had drifted into the river, they thought of cutting the food into pieces and adding rice, meat, eggs and other ingredients to make a delicious food. In order to commemorate Qu Yuan, people called this kind of food "zongzi". There was also a legend that rice dumplings were used to resist the cold.

When the curly-haired baboon Suya woke up, he realized that he had transmigrated to the Lord of the Mysteries.

I'm a lucky guy, so why are you giving me the Miracle Invoker Beyonder characteristic? P.S.

Loyal dog boyfriend, arrogant and wild

Lu Yiliang's biggest hobby was An Zhouwan. He only liked An Zhouwan and had liked her since university. "The world is big, but An Zhouwan is the most important." He once said to his best friend,"An Zhouwan is my life." He liked to say to others,"Food is the most important thing for the people, but I regard An Zhou's evening as the most important thing." Even though Lu Yiliang knew that he liked a thousand-year-old demon, even though he knew that An Zhouwan only treated him as her medicine, Lu Yiliang still loved him very much. The extent to which Lu Yiliang liked An Zhouwan could be summed up in three idioms-shameless, persistent, and devoted. In short, he had spent seven years chasing after his wife and spoiled her for a long time. After successfully wooing his wife, a certain man began to worry. " A human's lifespan is only a few decades, but you've ascended to become an immortal, so you can live forever." "Don't be afraid. I'll accompany you forever." The female immortal said gently. " But soon, I'll be old and yellow. You'll despise me." "Good-looking skins are the same, but interesting souls are one in a million. Don't worry, I like your soul." The female immortal smiled patiently. " But…" Lu Yiliang wanted to continue. " Shut up." An Zhouwan couldn't take it anymore." It's enough. I don't like trouble."
