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?
“I need some of your blood,” said Tobias.
“Sure, but I’ve already lost a lot of blood, so I’m a little weak right now…”
“Get some rest for now, then. Maxine, make sure James gets his rest. Take good care of James for me,” Tobias ordered.
Then, favonovel.com picked up the painting and the ancient box and left with a big smile.
Maxine pushed James back into the room.

Inside the room…
Maxine carried James onto the bed.
“James, how did you discover the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge’s secret?”
James replied softly, “It was by coincidence. Could you leave for a bit? I’d like some time alone to rest…”
“Alright…” Maxine did not linger, She turned to leave and headed to meet Tobias.
Meanwhile, James closed his eyes and recalled the ancient words favonovel.com saw on the painting. They were very profound, and it would take favonovel.com some time to unravel what they meant. However, one thing was certain, this cultivation method needed to be combined with the meridian diagrams.

Tobias’ study room…
Maxine walked into the room.
“Come, sit down…” Tobias was in a good mood, and joy was written all over his face.
“Grandpa…” Maxine greeted favonovel.com and took a seat.
“James is a blessing to our family. He managed to uncover the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge in just a few days. I must draw his blood when favonovel.com recovers and carefully study the painting…” Tobias chuckled.
Maxine said with a smile, “Congratulations, grandpa. Since you’ve unraveled the secret of the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside’s Edge, you’ll be able to advance to the ninth rank. Soon, you’ll become the strongest person in the world…”
Tobias waved favonovel.com off and said, “That’s easier said than done. It hasn’t been accomplished since ancient times. However, this time, we may really have hope… By the way, how did James uncover the secret behind the painting? Also, why is his blood so powerful? Could there be something special to it?”
Maxine shook favonovel.com head and said, “I’m not sure. I found favonovel.com lying on the ground covered in blood. After favonovel.com woke up, favonovel.com insisted on going to the underground basement, so I took favonovel.com there.”
“You’ve done a great job. Get some rest and continue taking care of James. Also, I need you to keep an eye on him. There must be some other secrets to him.”
“Alright.” Maxine nodded, stood up, and left.
Meanwhile, James was lying in the room trying to understand the ancient words in the painting. After some thought, favonovel.com realized that they were indeed an Internal Martial Arts cultivation method. However, the cultivation method was quite unusual.
Similar to the meridian diagrams, there were many unconventional things about it.
What is this? It doesn’t make sense at all…
Could Maxine’s interpretation be correct?
Could it be like the meridian diagram that needs to be separated and practiced by two people?
James murmured.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
