Baili An looked at Meng Zifei’s shaky appearance and did not say anything more to blame him. He quickly fed Chen Xiaolan some medicine to restore her Qi and blood. Then he turned to Hao Nong and said, "The matter of us being here tonight, do not speak of it to anyone." Hao Nong’s expression became solemn as he said, "Young Master, rest assured, even if it were these demons, I would ensure their mouths are tightly sealed." The Royal City had many eyes and ears, and it was also uncertain when the Demon Lord would return. If she found out that a new woman had moved into Chao Mu Hall, it could potentially lead to more chaos. Leaving Chen Xiaolan to recuperate with Hao Nong was actually much safer. Baili An left many medicines with Hao Nong and seriously instructed him to take good care of Miss Xiaolan. Hao Nong also promised each one. "By the way, Young Master, since you have begun to inherit the secrets of Yihe, have you already chosen the token of the ancient secret?" The token of the ancient secret was an important and unique identifier for the River Lords to control the Dark Department. While subduing the Dark Department, the River Lord would present the token of the ancient secret and leave the mark of the token on the bodies of those who submitted. These marks were similar to totems used by some of the ancient tribes. Ning Feiyan’s token was her seal. However, the River Lords’ tokens were never shown lightly, and the tokens of different River Lords were distinct, which also prevented imitation. However, Baili An today had really not thought about the matter of the token. After all, from the beginning, he had not acted with the intention of taking Hao Nong as part of his own secret Dark Department. But the token of the ancient secret was also indispensable, as not all members of the Dark Department could be as clear in their belief and loyalty as Hao Nong. Seeing Baili An’s expression, Hao Nong knew he had not prepared a token and couldn’t help but smile, "If the Young Master has not prepared one, then with your permission, I would boldly offer an item of my own; should the Young Master not refuse, it ought to be quite useful." Baili An, curious from his resolute demeanor, asked, "What item?" "Please follow me, Young Master." Soon, the two left the camp and came to an open training ground. Outside the field, the stone demon, which had been carried by the Human-faced Ape, merged with the darkness, silently standing in the midst of the long night. Hao Nong said, "Young Master, do you know why this stone demon has been able to cultivate to such an extent in just a thousand years?" Baili An replied, "It has a strong yin energy within its body." "Correct, this stone demon comes from the Yin Mountain. With a combination of luck and nature’s brilliance, where yin and yang divide dawn from dusk, the mountain has a special terrain, looking at the moon all year round, it truly is a remarkable mountain. In the mountain lies buried jade, the jade absorbs the essence of the Yin Moon. Over years and years, the mountain rocks that adjacently grew with jade, developed spiritual wisdom. This rock, having swallowed the essence of the moon and the Spirit Jade, cultivated for a thousand years. Utilizing the essence of the moon from heaven and earth, it developed Divine Sense and little by little assimilated the mountain into its own body. Over time, the stone demon gained the ability to move mountains. Leaving the land of Yin, it went to the Mortal World to cause chaos. If mortals enter the mountain for leisure, or cultivators seek treasures, most would be consumed by the stone demon for their vitality, leaving only whitened bones on the mountain." With a smile in his eyes, Hao Nong glanced at Baili An and said, "Young Master, aren’t you curious about what kind of Divine Jade could allow a stone demon, which should normally take a thousand years to develop spiritual wisdom, to achieve such demonic stature in such a short time?" Baili An listened intently, "Please enlighten me." "Just a moment, Young Master." Hao Nong’s smile receded as his aura silently rose. His body twisted and changed in the wind and then disappeared from Baili An’s sight. Right after, Baili An saw Hao Nong under the stone demon raise his hands high, stomp fiercely on the earth, and immediately a seismic force shook the ground. The Power of Blazing Flames, like tangible magma, obeyed his command and shot towards the sky, forming a bright square. The once-dormant stone demon suddenly transformed into a humanoid form, eyes filled with terror, spirits appearing, seemingly unable to understand why Hao Nong would suddenly attack him. He had no chance to beg for mercy as the spreading fire and magma, like a net, trapped him solidly. The stone demon, with its attribute of yin, was completely controlled by these intense flames, without a single avenue of escape. Hao Nong stepped forward, looking at the blazing fire as if it were nothing, stepped into the raging flames. The scorching inferno that touched his body did not even singe him. After he entered, the sound of the fire drowned out the noise within the arena until Hao Nong emerged again. He was holding a stone heart. The stone heart in his hand pulsated vividly; with every beat, pure and rich Moon Essence seeped through, forming misty wisps of cold fog. The sizable heart was crushed by Hao Nong’s hand, the speckled stone surface scattering like dust, quickly revealing a glint of Jade color. When all the stone had completely flaked away, a delicate and intact jade gourd appeared in the palm of his hand. Hao Nong gazed with amazement at the jade gourd for a long time. The host stone demon was dead, and the mark he had placed on the jade gourd a thousand years ago had also been scattered to the winds. Hao Nong could not help but raise the gourd in his hand high, pointing towards the distant moon. Moonlight, like water, seemed to flow down from the Nine Heavens, ethereal as mist and gauze, pooling all into the mouth of the gourd. The color of the jade gourd deepened and intensified at a speed visible to the naked eye. Hao Nong shook the gourd in his hand and heard the crisp sound of liquid within. He couldn’t help but exclaim, "Moonlight Wine. Truly, it is magical."
