《I Cultivated Using My Phone In A Fantasy World》


 Chapter 1

    The Zhenbei Mansion was beside a mountain and a river. The exquisite pavilions were well-arranged and the golden glazed tiles glowed. The golden dragon divine beast at the corner of the eaves was vivid and lifelike. The tall door wall made people admire it. The two huge stone lions at the door were the most astonishing.


    At this moment, the side door of the mansion was wide open, and a long queue was formed.


    There were all kinds of people in the queue. There were divine doctors carrying medical boxes, witch doctors who wore eye-catching clothes, sage-like Daoists, and solemn old monks¡­


    ¡°Eh, what¡¯s going on here? Is the Zhenbei Mansion recruiting capable people again?¡± A lackey who had just returned from outside the city asked in confusion.


    ¡°You don¡¯t even know that? The entire northern region is plastered with notices now!¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. I don¡¯t know where the heir of the Zhenbei Mansion went to have fun, but he was beaten up and fainted for three days and three nights.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, I don¡¯t think that guy did anything good. Most people in the Zhenbei City want to beat him up!¡±


    ¡°Sigh, that¡¯s right. They are trying to catch the murderer with all kinds of bounties, it is impossible!¡±


    ¡°What murderer? Right now, the Zhenbei King is most anxious to treat the crown prince¡¯s illness. Look at the queue. Some of them were invited over and some were forcefully dragged over. They¡¯re all here to treat the crown prince¡­¡±


    ¡°Sigh, the prince is really blessed. But from the looks of it, he probably won¡¯t have the chance to come out and harm others in the future.¡±


    ¡°Shh. How dare you say that. Do you want to die?¡±


    Amidst the discussion outside, figures entered the mansion, but no one came out.


    At this moment, in the inner courtyard of the mansion, a shrill voice shouted, ¡°Your Highness, please spare my life. I wouldn¡¯t dare to harm the prince!¡±


    ¡°You still have the cheek to scream? I asked you to treat the prince, but you killed my son. How can a piece of trash like you be worthy of practicing medicine? Hurry up and drag him to the backyard to feed the dogs.¡±


    The King of Zhenbei pointed at the divine doctor who was being dragged by the guards and cursed. His body was filled with killing intent.


    ¡°The¡­ the prince has opened his eyes! He¡¯s awake, the prince is awake¡­¡± At that moment, a surprised cry sounded.


    The King of Zhenbei was stunned. He could not believe it.


    The divine doctor, who had just been begging for mercy, was the first to react. He looked at the bed in the bedroom and saw that the prince¡¯s eyes had opened. He looked confused. Wasn¡¯t he awake?


    ¡°Your Highness, the prince is awake. He¡¯s really awake. Spare me. I didn¡¯t kill the prince.¡±


    The divine doctor looked at King of Zhenbei as if he had seen his second parent.


    The King of Zhenbei was suspicious. He turned around and saw that his son was indeed awake.


    The King of Zhenbei was overjoyed. ¡°Someone, drag the divine doctor away¡­ I mean, please treat him well, and make sure he is ready to be summoned at any time.¡±


    After sending the divine doctor away, the King of Zhenbei walked to the bed excitedly and exclaimed, ¡°My son, you¡¯re finally awake. You scared Father to death.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, Prince. The heavens are blessing the prince. He¡¯s really fine.¡±


    The prince¡¯s lackey, Fang Dapan, cried tears of joy. He knelt on the ground and shouted excitedly.


    ¡°My son, quickly tell me who hit you. If I catch him, I¡¯ll have to pull out his tendons and skin him alive,¡± the King of Zhenbei grabbed the prince¡¯s hand and said fiercely.


    ¡°Father? Dapan?¡±


    Fang looked at the familiar room, the familiar people, and he looked confused.


    ¡°What happened? Was he reborn?¡±


    Fang Chen clearly remembered that his father had sent bad news on the battlefield at the border. Immediately after, the Zhenbei Mansion had been wiped out, and Fang Chen himself had been killed by a terrifying figure.


    However, looking at the surroundings and what his father meant just now, he seemed to have been beaten to death by someone?


    He could not remember what was going on at all.


    ¡°Could all those things I remember be a dream?¡±


    Fang Chen was getting more and more confused.


    ¡°Ding! Phone data restoration in progress. Host, please wait patiently!¡±


    At this moment, a mechanical voice sounded in his mind. Fang Chen was stunned again.


    ¡°Phone? The phone I brought with me when I transmigrated actually activated? This means that I¡¯ve really been reborn? In other words, the future of the mansion¡­¡±


    Fang Chen tensed up but quickly made up his mind.


    ¡°Since I¡¯ve been reborn and know what the mansion is going to experience, I definitely can¡¯t make the same mistake and let the mansion advance on a path of no return¡­¡±


    ¡°This world ultimately respects martial arts, so I can¡¯t just care about nothing like in my previous life. I have to become stronger and control my own fate.¡±


    Thinking of this, Fang Chen grabbed the King of Zhenbei and said solemnly, ¡°Father, I don¡¯t know who hit me, but that¡¯s not important. There¡¯s only one thing I want to do now.¡±


    ¡°What is it? Are you hungry? That¡¯s right. You must be hungry after being unconscious for a few days. Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll get someone to prepare delicious food to nourish your body. I¡¯ll get someone to serve it to you immediately.¡±


    The King of Zhenbei was so anxious that he wanted to call for help personally.


    ¡°No, no, no. There¡¯s no hurry about dinner. I have other things on my mind. Listen to me first.¡± Fang Chen quickly stopped the King of Zhenbei.


    ¡°What is it? Tell me. I¡¯ll agree to anything,¡± the King of Zhenbei said without hesitation.


    ¡°I want to practice martial arts,¡± said Fang Chen firmly.


    ¡°Burp¡­¡±


    The King of Zhenbei was so shocked that he burped. The lackey, Fang Dapan, was so shocked that his legs went weak. Then the bedroom was dead silent.


    They both stared at Fang in shock.


    Wasn¡¯t he the number one profligate son of the Northern Region?


    He was known as a useless person who could not read or write.


    Apart from indulging in debauchery, was it normal for him to say that he wanted to practice martial arts and study? It was clearly abnormal!


    In the next second, the lackey, Fang Dapan, wailed, ¡°Oh no, quickly call the divine doctor. The prince¡¯s brain is damaged.¡±


    The King of Zhenbei reacted and quickly supported Fang Chen. His heart ached. ¡°My son, how can you practice martial arts? Didn¡¯t your father fight all his life just to let you enjoy yourself? It¡¯s hard and tiring to practice martial arts. How can you, the heir of the Zhenbei, do that? Before your mother left, I promised to let you grow up without any worries for the rest of your life. That¡¯s why you should be a qualified heir who lives in luxury and bullies men and women. You only care about being a good-for-nothing and squandering. I¡¯ll hold up the sky for you.¡±


    When Fang Chen heard this, he looked helpless. He knew that talking about martial arts was a little too abrupt.


    Seeing that Fang Chen seemed to have been convinced, King of Zhenbei heaved a sigh of relief.


    However, Fang Chen immediately said, ¡°Father, my body is indeed not suitable for martial arts now. Let me rest for two days then I¡¯ll go and study. Knowledge is power, and studying is also quite good.¡±


    The King of Zhenbei panicked when he heard this and quickly reached out to touch Fang Chen¡¯s head.


    Fang Dapan, on the other hand, turned pale and ran out. At the same time, he shouted, ¡°Where¡¯s the divine doctor? Hurry up and invite the divine doctor over. The prince¡¯s brain is really damaged. His brain disease is serious¡­¡±


    Fang was at a loss.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Did I say something wrong with my logic or my tone? Why is my brain damaged?

 Chapter 2

    The next afternoon, Fang Chen sat in his study and finally finished reading the large pile of books in front of him. He had a rough idea of the situation in this world.


    This was a world that respected martial arts. There were powerful dynasties that ruled thousands of miles of territory and had billions of people. There were also martial arts sects that had been passed down for thousands of years and occupied spiritual mountains and blessed lands.


    Fang Chen was in the world¡¯s number one dynasty, the Great Yan Dynasty.


    According to the history books, the Great Yan Dynasty was originally not so big. It was only after annexing the original Wei, Chu, and Xia that it became so vast.


    In the battle to destroy the other three countries, there was a person who contributed the most and suppressed the three countries to the point that they did not dare to resist. It could be said that he was the King of the North, Fang Tianhuai.


    Other than the Yan Kingdom, there were also some other small countries that relied on the Yan Kingdom. Now, the only country that could compete with the Yan Kingdom was the Xuehuang Kingdom in the Northern Wilderness.


    The Northern Wilderness was covered in snow all year round. It was known as the extreme cold. Even the native Xuehuang Kingdom had to constantly migrate to survive in the Northern Wilderness.


    It was also because of the harsh environment that the people of the Xuehuang Kingdom were valiant and good at fighting. They were a powerful enemy of the Great Yan Dynasty and had become a huge threat in the north.


    The Great Yan Dynasty had once tried to destroy the Xuehuang Kingdom. However, the soldiers of the Yan Kingdom could not adapt to the harsh environment of the Xuehuang Kingdom. In addition, they could not effectively avoid the natural power of the Xuehuang Kingdom. Under restrictions, they could not form any combat strength at all. In the end, the crusade against the Xuehuang Kingdom was left unsettled.


    In order to guard against the invasion of the Xuehuang Kingdom to the south, Fang Tianhuai, as the God of War of the Great Yan Dynasty, personally led the most elite army under him to guard the Northern Region. This led to the current Prince Zhenbei¡¯s Mansion.


    Of course, other than this, Fang Chen also learned that before he fainted, he was known as the number one profligate son in the Northern Region. Just like the King of Zhenbei had hoped, he lived a life of debauchery, bullied men and women, and did all kinds of evil things.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t this¡­ too useless? It would be strange if he wasn¡¯t beaten up!¡±


    When Fang Chen understood everything, he really admired his past self.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m a good young man who transmigrated from the new century. How can I be such a terrible person? Besides, if what I saw was the outcome of the future Zhenbei Mansion, then I can only wait for death now.¡±


    Determination flashed in Fang Chen¡¯s eyes.


    ¡°I want to practice martial arts. I have to become stronger!¡±


    Fang Chen had roughly understood it just now.


    The cultivation of martial artists was divided into nine grades. The ninth grade was the weakest, and the first grade was the strongest.


    There were four major realms in the first-grade: the Freedom Mortal Realm, the Carefree Earth Realm, the Unparalleled Mystic Realm, and the Divine Traversing Realm.


    Above first-grade was the legendary Heaven Realm.


    ¡°The path of martial arts is long, but I have to focus on searching for it!¡±


    Having made up his mind, Fang Chen touched his body and took out the phone that had transmigrated with him.


    At this moment, Fang Chen opened it skillfully, but found that there was only one camera function.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Is this phone following me so that I can be a photographer who can only admire myself?¡±


    Fang Chen tried taking pictures of himself and the room. It seemed to be a simple photo function.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t I try it outside?¡±


    Fang Chen refused to give up and walked out of the house.


    Fang Dapan immediately went up to him and asked solicitously, ¡°Prince, what do you need? Are you going out to gamble? I¡¯ll arrange it for you.¡±


    ¡°Damn you, it¡¯s none of your business. Get lost.¡±


    Fang Chen glared at the lackey, Fang Dapan, speechlessly. He realized that this guy was a stumbling block in his life. Ever since he woke up, he had been guiding him back to being a playboy.


    Unfortunately, this guy was left behind by his mother to take care of him. Even the King of Zhenbei took care of him. Fang Chen could not chase him away at all. He had no choice but to watch him be an eyesore.


    Ignoring Fang Dapan, Fang Chen held his phone and took photos here and there. From time to time, he would take a few photos, but he found nothing. He could not help but feel a little annoyed.


    ¡°Sigh, looks like Young Master¡¯s brain disease is quite serious¡­¡±


    However, Fang Dapan and the servants in the residence did not recognize the phone. They only thought that he was holding a strange mirror and looking at himself left and right. Furthermore, he had to make some strange and even disgusting poses. It was obvious that he was not in his right mind. They could not help but sigh.


    ¡°Young Master, you¡¯re already the most handsome man in the world. You don¡¯t have to keep looking in the mirror, right? If you don¡¯t believe me, let¡¯s go to the Drunken Flower Pavilion and ask those girls¡­¡±


    Fang Dapan could not bear to see Fang Chen like this. He leaned forward again, thinking that he should take the prince to a familiar place to take a look. Perhaps he could return to normal.


    ¡°Shut up and leave me alone!¡±


    Fang Chen did not find anything special about the phone¡¯s photo function and was very annoyed. He pushed Fang Dapan away and took a few steps towards the study. However, just as he was about to push open the door, he remembered that Fang Dapan had said to ask someone else. Suddenly, he had an idea.


    ¡°If this phone¡¯s selfie function doesn¡¯t work, does that mean someone else has to be photographed to inspire potential uses?¡±


    At this thought, Fang Chen turned his gaze to the servants in the residence and realized that the other maidservants and servants were avoiding his gaze. Only Fang Dapan¡¯s eyes lit up when he saw him turn around and run over excitedly.


    ¡°Prince, you¡­¡±


    Fang interrupted Fang as soon as he opened his mouth.


    ¡°Old Pan, I remember you saying that I¡¯m the most loyal to me, right? Then I need your help with something now. You won¡¯t refuse, right?¡± Fang Chen stared at Fang with burning eyes.


    Fang Dapan vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he really would not refuse the prince. He could only brace himself and say, ¡°Prince, please instruct me. I won¡¯t hesitate to die.¡±


    ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t be nervous. How can I let you die?¡± Fang Chen comforted him and then said, ¡°Did you see my actions when I¡­ looked in the mirror just now? Repeat them for me.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Fang Dapan was stunned for a moment before an expression that was uglier than crying immediately appeared on his face. He said awkwardly, ¡°Prince, can I not do it? Only someone as heroic and extraordinary as you can do those movements beautifully. If I do it, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to face anyone.¡±


    ¡°Are you going to do it or not? If you don¡¯t, I¡¯ll make Dad replace you with someone else¡­¡± Fang Chen saw that Fang Dapan was clearly unhappy and threatened him.


    ¡°Yes, I¡¯ll do it, alright?¡± Fang finally relented.


    ¡°Ah yes, Scissorhands. Smile and say cheese¡­¡±


    ¡°That¡­ bend your hips, look back and smile¡­¡±


    ¡­


    After messing around with Fang Dapan for a while, Fang Chen still did not find any special functions on the phone. He was really disgusted by Fang Dapan¡¯s posture. Only then did he stop and return to the room gloomily.


    Seeing that the phone was only at fifty percent battery, with some reluctance, he put it away first.


    After all, he did not know how to charge it now and did not dare to play around. He could only try it again in the future when he thought of a special use for his phone.

 Chapter 3

    Elsewhere, in King of Zhenbei¡¯s room, he stared blankly at a portrait of his dead wife.


    ¡°Jin¡¯er, I originally promised you that I would let Chen¡¯er grow up without worry and happiness for the rest of his life, but now that he suddenly has a brain disease and insists on practicing martial arts, what should I do?¡±


    After a full day, the King of Zhenbei finally sighed and said, ¡°I¡¯ve never refused my son¡¯s request. Since he wants to learn martial arts, so be it. Anyway, he¡¯s already past the best age for martial arts and his brain disease is very serious. He probably won¡¯t achieve anything if he learns it. As long as he doesn¡¯t succeed in martial arts, those fellows in the court won¡¯t be afraid¡­¡±


    After thinking this through, the King of Zhenbei began to think about who to find as Fang Chen¡¯s master.


    ¡°After all, he¡¯s my son. Of course, I must find a good master for him. There are many first-grade and second-grade experts hidden in the mansion, but these people shouldn¡¯t be exposed. Moreover, I¡¯m afraid they don¡¯t dare to teach because of Chen¡¯er¡¯s status. Then, I can only find a master outside the mansion¡­¡±


    ¡°The Whole Unitary Sect of the Northern Region¡¯s Southwind Mountain is a top sect with many disciples. Sect Master Li Qingyu and I have a lot of personal connections. Why don¡¯t we send Chen¡¯er there?¡±


    Thinking of this, the King of Zhenbei immediately went to the table in the room to write a letter.


    ¡°Old Qingyu, I have a son called Fang Chen. I am planning to send him to you to practice martial arts. When you receive the letter, send someone to pick him up.¡±


    The letter was not polite at all.


    When he was finished, the King of Zhenbei stuffed the letter into a finger-sized leather holster and walked to the window. He pushed it open and whistled. In the blink of an eye, a golden eagle descended from the sky and landed on the window.


    The King of Zhenbei tied the leather glove to one of the golden eagle¡¯s claws and said, ¡°Go, eagle. Send the letter to Old Qing Yu of the Whole Unitary Sect.¡±


    ¡°Chirp¡­¡±


    The golden eagle rubbed against the back of King of Zhenbei¡¯s hand in a fawning manner. Then, it let out a cry as if in agreement and soared into the sky, quickly disappearing into the horizon.


    Another day passed. Fang Chen continued to fiddle with his phone in the study. He tried to turn it off, but there was nothing. Just then, there was a knock on the door.


    ¡°Brother, are you there? Yinyin and I are here to see you!¡±


    Fang Chen was stunned for a moment before he said casually, ¡°Come in.¡±


    A young man walked in with a chubby little girl.


    These two were Fang Chen¡¯s younger siblings.


    The young man was Fang Ping, Fang Chen¡¯s younger brother. He was 13 years old this year and had been practicing martial arts since he was young. He was a famous martial arts fanatic in the Wang family. His talent was astonishing. At such a young age, he was already a fifth-grade martial artist.


    He looked quite similar to the King of Zhenbei, but his body was slender, his temperament was stiff, and he was not good with words. However, his eyes were exceptionally bright. It was obvious that he was a wise person.


    The little girl was Fang Chen¡¯s younger sister, Fang Yinyin. She was eight years old this year. Because she had been gluttonous since she was young, she was chubby.


    She looked clumsy, but one look at her clever eyes told him she was a mysterious person.


    ¡°Hehe, Fang Ping, Yinyin, why are you here?¡±


    When Fang Chen saw the fat and thin duo enter, he had the urge to burst out laughing.


    ¡°Brother, we heard that your brain was damaged, so¡­¡±


    Fang Yinyin¡¯s small mouth blurted out, but Fang Ping covered it in time.


    ¡°Um¡­ Big Brother, you were unconscious for so long. We wanted to see you for a long time because we were afraid we would disturb your rest. We heard that you were feeling better today, so we came over.¡±


    Fang Ping smiled sheepishly. It was obvious that after being interrupted by Fang Yinyin, no matter how he tried, he felt like he was trying to hide something.


    ¡°Hehe, alright. Don¡¯t listen to the nonsense of the others in the residence. I¡¯m doing very well now.¡±


    Fang Chen smiled helplessly. Realizing that the two of them had entered and were staring at his head more, he quickly expressed his gratitude.


    ¡°Then¡­ why are you in a place like the study? You¡¯ve never come here before¡­¡±


    Fang Ping clearly did not believe him.


    ¡°Haven¡¯t you heard of the saying ¡®a prodigal son turns over a new leaf¡¯?¡± Fang Chen was speechless as he explained, ¡°I suddenly realized that learning more things will be useful in the future.¡±


    ¡°What about martial arts? I heard from Father that you want to practice martial arts and he is going to send you far away to become a disciple,¡± Fang said anxiously.


    ¡°It¡¯s the same for practicing martial arts. I can only protect myself when I¡¯m strong. Otherwise, I won¡¯t be so lucky next time I¡¯m beaten up,¡± Fang Chen said helplessly.


    ¡°Big Brother, you don¡¯t have to work so hard. I¡¯ll stay by your side and protect you in the future. I¡¯ll kill anyone who dares to touch you,¡± Fang Ping said murderously.


    ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯m determined to work hard and improve myself this time. Be it practicing literature or martial arts, I have to work hard. Don¡¯t come and deflate me.¡± Seeing that it really did not make sense, Fang Chen could only put on the dignity of a big brother and said unquestionably.


    ¡°Oh, oh, okay. Anyway, no matter what happens to you, I will protect you, my Big Brother!¡± Fang Ping nodded blankly and said.


    ¡°I¡¯ll support Big Brother too!¡± Fang Yinyin followed suit.


    Fang Chen was in a good mood. He stood up from his seat and walked around the desk to his siblings.


    Fang Ping patted his head and was about to catch up with him. He pinched Fang Yinyin¡¯s chubby face.


    ¡°Brother, stop pinching my face. They say I¡¯ll drool if you pinch my face at night,¡± Fang Yinyin angrily pushed Fang Chen¡¯s hand away from her face and said unhappily.


    ¡°Hehe, you little fat pig, you only know how to sleep every day. When will you not drool? I¡¯ll massage your face. It¡¯s a double negative. It might even cure your gluttony.¡±


    Fang Chen really loved Fang Yinyin¡¯s little face.


    ¡°No, I¡¯m not in a hurry to cure it. Big Brother¡¯s brain disease needs to be treated first. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to get used to it.¡±


    Fang Yinyin was absolutely straightforward. She went back to talking about Fang Chen¡¯s brain disease with just a few words.


    ¡°Yinyin, don¡¯t say anything if you don¡¯t know how to speak.¡± Fang Ping glared at Fang Yinyin and quickly changed the topic. He said to Fang Chen, ¡°Big Brother, don¡¯t you want to learn martial arts? Why don¡¯t we go out and try? I happened to learn a powerful sword technique from Gu Chang. This is easy to learn. You don¡¯t have to use your brain. It¡¯s definitely not a problem to strengthen your body.¡±


    Fang Chen was speechless.


    He had already said that it was a powerful sword technique. How could it be easy to learn?


    ¡®What the hell did he mean by not using my brain?¡¯


    ¡®Moreover, it was to strengthen the body. Wasn¡¯t this the Taiji Sword?¡¯


    However, Fang Chen also knew that Fang Ping was being kind. It just so happened that he had no concept of martial arts. It was better than nothing. It could be considered an experience.


    ¡°Okay, then let¡¯s go out. Show me and I¡¯ll learn,¡± Fang agreed.


    The three of them were soon outside the house. Fang Chen and Fang Yinyin stood to one side, while Fang Ping stood in the yard with his sword.


    ¡°Brother, this sword technique is called the Three Styles of Breeze. Watch carefully. I¡¯ll demonstrate it to you in slow motion first.¡±


    As he spoke, Fang began to rehearse.


    Although it was said to be three moves, each move had dozens of variations. Fang Chen had a headache when he saw them. However, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration.


    ¡°If I can¡¯t remember, I can take photos of the moves with my phone.¡±


    Fang Chen took out his phone and patted Fang Ping, who was demonstrating his sword technique.


    Crack!


    ¡°Ding! The system has detected the basic sword technique, Three Styles of Breeze. Do you want to spend 100 taels to learn it?¡±


    ¡®The system? A hundred taels? Is that my golden finger?¡¯


    ¡°Dapan, get me a hundred taels.¡±

 Chapter 4

    Fang Dapan had been afraid of Fang Chen ever since he was forced to take photos. Although he waited in the courtyard, he did not dare to get too close.


    However, when he heard Fang Chen¡¯s familiar voice asking for money, he instantly thought that the prince¡¯s brain had recovered and he wanted to spend it. He quickly took out a hundred taels of silver and rushed over.


    ¡°Wait for me. I have something to do in my study. No one is to disturb me until I come out.¡±


    Fang Chen grabbed the banknotes and ran towards the study. However, just as he closed the door, he popped his head out and instructed Fang Ping, ¡°Fang Ping, watch over me. If anyone enters my study without my permission, break their legs. Remember, not even Dad.¡±


    Fang nodded dumbly and headed for the study door, sword in hand.


    To Fang Ping, Fang Chen¡¯s words were an imperial edict. He had said that no one could enter that study, so even if their father, Fang Tianhuai, wanted to enter, Fang Ping would cut off his leg.


    ¡°Second Brother, do you think Big Brother went into the study to poop in such a hurry? But did he forget that there are many books in the study? Why did he have to use banknotes?¡± Suddenly, Fang Yinyin blinked her big eyes and asked in confusion.


    ¡°Ka!¡±


    Fang had been about to approach the study door, but now that Fang Yinyin had pointed it out, he seemed to smell something unpleasant in the study. He quickly stood away from it.


    ¡°Uma€| It seems that this morning, the prince said that the book has its own golden house, and the book has its own face like jade, so he doesn¡¯t want to taint the book, right? Moreover, it¡¯s not like the prince has never used silver notes to go to the toilet before, but today, he actually used a hundred taelsa€|¡±


    Fang pulled a strange face and instinctively moved away from the study.


    Of course, Fang Chen, who was in the study, did not know what was going on outside, nor did he feel that there was anything wrong with his behavior just now.


    After all, the matter of the phone involved the secret of his transmigration.


    Soon, Fang Chen came to the desk and sat down. He held his phone in one hand and the banknotes in the other.


    ¡°Ding! The system has detected 100 taels of silver. Do you agree to spend 100 taels of silver to learn the basic sword technique, Three Styles of Breeze?¡±


    Fang Chen saw that on the phone screen, yes or no had already appeared. Two choices.


    Fang Chen was excited. His hand trembled as he pressed the yes button.


    In the next second, the banknote in Fang Chen¡¯s hand disappeared, and a green figure appeared in his mind.


    It was obviously Fang Chen¡¯s own appearance, and after the shadow appeared, it began to practice the Three Styles of Breeze. Every move was smooth and natural, much smoother than what Fang Ping had just demonstrated.


    ¡°Ia€| I learned it already?¡±


    Fang Chen did not believe it. He formed his fingers into a sword and gestured. He was really familiar with the Three Styles of Breeze.


    Fang Chen was overjoyed. If he could learn all the styles of martial arts with 100 taels of silver, it would be too awesome. He would not have to worry about not being able to become a Deva and rewrite the Zhenbei Mansion!


    As he was enjoying himself, the system notification sounded again.


    ¡°Ding! Host, do you want to spend 10,000 taels of silver to cultivate the Three Styles of Breeze to the maximum level?¡±


    Fang Chen froze.


    What did it mean to cultivate to the maximum level?


    Although he did not quite understand, 10,000 taels was nothing to the former profligate heir.


    ¡°Then I¡¯ll try the difference between this 10,000 taels of Breeze III and 100 taels of silver.¡±


    Fang Chen went straight to the window of the study and called, ¡°Old Pan, bring me 10,000 taels of silver. There¡¯s not enough money.¡±


    ¡®What?¡¯


    The three figures standing far outside the study froze.


    ¡°What do you mean, there isn¡¯t enough money? Do we have to spend money in the study? He obviously meant he doesn¡¯t have enough paper, and not money?¡±


    Fang Ping and Fang Yinyin both looked at Fang Dapan, waiting for him to take the silver notes.


    However, Fang Dapan asked Fang Chen in the study nervously, ¡°Prince, I only have one piece of 10,000 taels notes. Do you want me to get smaller change?¡±


    ¡°Change my ass. Hurry up. It¡¯s waiting to be used.¡±


    Fang Chen felt that this lackey was out of his mind. He only wanted 10,000 taels of silver. Does getting smaller change help him get more money?


    Fang Dapan heard Fang Chen¡¯s words and grimaced.


    ¡°Is young master normal? He¡¯s actually so extravagant? He actually used 10,000 taels of silver to wipe his butt. If this goes on, in less than a year, the Zhenbei Mansion will probably close down, right?¡±


    However, Fang Dapan did not dare to go against Fang Chen¡¯s wishes. He quickly covered his mouth and nose and went to the study window.


    ¡°Prince, let me give you the banknotes.¡±


    Fang saw the slightly open window and handed in a silver note worth ten thousand taels.


    ¡°Yeah, sure.¡±


    Fang Chen agreed and was about to take the banknotes when Fang Dapan said, ¡°Prince, is this 10,000 taels enough? If not, I still have a handkerchief here. It¡¯s more comfortable to use. Why don¡¯t I give it to you?¡±


    ¡°What the hell? What¡¯s the use of your handkerchief? Can it be used as silver?¡±


    Fang Chen was baffled. He snatched the banknote and closed the window tightly.


    This time, he was familiar with it. Seeing the familiar yes and no buttons, Fang Chen directly agreed to spend ten thousand taels of silver.


    In the blink of an eye, the ten thousand taels of silver disappeared from his hand. Fang Chen realized that the shadow in his mind had begun to move again.


    However, this time, the movements were swift and magical. Soon, they turned into many afterimages and demonstrated the Three Styles of Breeze.


    This was the maximum level of the Three Styles of Breeze. It was no longer just a simple sword move, but there were also complicated changes in each move and the direction of the true energy that guided the power of the sword move.


    It could be said that 10,000 taels of silver and 100 taels of silver version of the Three Styles of Breeze were worlds apart.


    ¡°The power of money is indeed powerful.¡±


    At this moment, Fang Chen could clearly feel that when the shadow clone was practicing the Three Forms of Clear Breeze at the maximum level, streams of True Qi flowed endlessly in his body, modifying his meridians.


    When he completed the full level of the Three Styles of Breeze, Fang Chen instantly felt that he had actually cultivated to the ninth-grade martial artist realm.


    Moreover, Fang Chen had a feeling that his mastery of the Three Styles of Breeze was definitely the best in the world. Even if the founder of the Three Styles of Breeze came, Fang Chen would think that the Three Styles of Breeze he used was stronger.


    Although he was only at the ninth-grade, Fang Chen felt that even ordinary seventh-grade and eighth-grade martial artists would not be his match if he used this sword technique that had been cultivated to perfection.


    ¡°This phone¡¯s ability is amazing. It¡¯s really awesome.¡±


    Fang Chen was excited.


    At that moment, the phone beeped again.


    ¡°Ding! Detected that the host has max-level skills. You can unlock the recording function.


    The system prompted that the host had two ways to unlock it.


    First, the host can directly unlock the camera function by spending one million taels.


    [Note: This is the last time you will be paying the system. After this, the host can no longer use taels of silver to make system purchases. Only the silver earned by the host can be used.]


    2. The host can automatically unlock the camera function after breaking through to the seventh-grade Martial Artist Realm.


    [Note: The last system teaching consumption was not used this time, the host can use this teaching consumption privilege at your discretion].


    Please confirm the two options. After confirming, it cannot be changed.¡±


    Fang Chen looked at the new system notification and found it difficult to make a choice.

 Chapter 5

    A million taels was a lot of money.


    He could afford it if he used the savings from the Zhenbei Mansion, but once there was a disaster, they would be short of money.


    Moreover, this was the last chance for him to borrow external help. Once he used it, if he needed more wealth in the future and activated the function, he would not be able to gather money in an emergency. This opportunity could be used to save him.


    ¡°My father seems to have already helped me find a master. With my ability, I believe it won¡¯t be long before I break through to a seventh-grade martial artist. In this case, if I don¡¯t take a million yuan and still keep the last chance to borrow external help, it will be the best of both worlds.¡±


    Having made up his mind, Fang Chen clicked on the second option without hesitation.


    After that, there were no other notifications on the phone, so Fang Chen put it away and walked out of the room. After all, he could not leave his younger siblings hanging.


    He pushed open the door and saw three people standing far across the yard.


    Fang Chen thought to himself, ¡°Did the three of them see through something and know that I don¡¯t want to expose my secret? Is that why they¡¯re so far away?¡±


    At this moment, when she realized that Fang Chen had opened the door, Fang Yinyin was about to speak when Fang Ping covered her mouth. Fang Ping did not say anything but smiled awkwardly.


    Fang Dapan came over carefully and asked suspiciously, ¡°Prince, where did you poop? I would personally clean it up for you. I promise not to let the fifth person know.¡±


    ¡°What do you mean? What did I poop?¡± Fang Chen did not understand what Fang Dapan meant and asked inexplicably.


    However, at this moment, Fang Ping was careless and did not hold on to Fang Yinyin tightly. The little fatty ran to Fang Chen and said angrily, ¡°Brother, I feel that it¡¯s better if your brain is damaged. Now, you¡¯re actually wiping your butt with banknotes again. Moreover, there¡¯s a 10,000-tael note. Do you know how much good food you can buy me with that much money?¡±


    Fang Ping ran over and grabbed Fang Yinyin again. He tried to cover her mouth but realized he was too late.


    Fang Chen¡¯s expression was extremely ugly.


    If he still did not understand what Fang Dapan¡¯s words meant, he was really out of his mind.


    ¡°Dapan, which eye of yours saw me going to the toilet in the study? And I even used banknotes to wipe my butt? To think you could think of that.¡±


    Fang Chen raised his leg and kicked Fang Dapan to the ground. He still wanted to kick him again.


    ¡°Prince, why can¡¯t anyone see you with the doors and windows closed? You¡¯re in such a hurry and you¡¯re so afraid of being seen by others. Anyone would think that way. Otherwise, why are you in such a hurry to get the banknotes for no reason?¡± Fang Dapan put his head in his hands and whined.


    ¡°I¡ª¡±


    Fang Chen listened to Fang. His strange behavior was indeed easy to misunderstand.


    ¡®But¡­¡¯


    The study was used as a toilet and the bank notes were used to wipe his ass. Moreover, it was 10,000 taels of silver. How imaginative was he to think that an adult like him could do it?


    He was really angry. However, he could not blame Fang Dapan for that.


    Fang Chen knew that this was probably his previous foppish self, so even if it was a fantasy story, it would still be associated with him.


    ¡°Don¡¯t think that I¡¯m so uneducated. I just suddenly wanted to try which of the 100 taels of silver and the 10,000 taels of silver are easier to tear. I was afraid that you would feel heartache, so I secretly tore them. If you don¡¯t believe me, go into the study and take a look. There¡¯s definitely no smell.¡±


    All three of them looked at him as if he was the boss and they were all right.


    Fang Chen was furious and forcefully dragged them around the study.


    ¡°Do you smell that, Dapan? Am I as bad as you think?¡± Fang questioned Fang.


    It was true that Fang did not smell anything not find any evidence. He shook his head.


    However, he complained in his heart, ¡°The prince is indeed the prince. He actually tore the banknotes for fun.¡±


    ¡°Hey, Yinyin, what are you doing?¡±


    Just as he was about to leave the study, Fang Chen suddenly realized that Fang Yinyin was rummaging through the trash can in front of the desk. He could not help but wonder what she was looking for.


    ¡°Big Brother, where are the banknotes you tore? I want to see if I can put them together properly. 10,100 taels of silver can buy me a lot of delicious food.¡±


    Fang Yinyin was so anxious that she wanted to dump the trash on the ground to look for it. She looked like a little beggar who was picking up food on the ground.


    ¡°Well¡­ there¡¯s no need to look for it. After I tore it, I suddenly remembered that someone said that money could cure all kinds of illnesses, so I dumped all the banknotes into my teacup and drank them. I wanted to see if they could cure my brain. It felt good after drinking it.¡±


    Fang Chen could not say anything. He had to fill in the hole he had dug.


    The three of them stared at Fang Chen in a daze.


    ¡®Is money a cure for everything?¡¯


    ¡°Prince, I¡¯m especially supportive of you reading more books now. Really.¡±


    Fang Dapan suddenly became serious.


    Fang Yinyin and Fang Ping both nodded in agreement.


    Fang Chen was helpless, but it was better than their initial thought. He nodded and responded casually.


    Then, he changed the topic and said, ¡°Alright, don¡¯t dwell on the matter of the banknotes. Didn¡¯t we learn swordsmanship just now? I think I¡¯ve already learned it. Go out and see if I¡¯m doing it right.¡±


    ¡°Braggart!¡± Fang Yinyin was incredulous.


    Fang Chen grabbed Fang Yinyin¡¯s chubby face and said with a laugh, ¡°Little Yinyin, you actually dare to doubt your own big brother? Don¡¯t you know that big brother is a genius? Do you believe that I¡¯m even stronger than second brother now?¡±


    Fang Yinyin tried to pull Fang Chen¡¯s hand away and said angrily, ¡°I don¡¯t believe you. Unless you really compete with Second Brother.¡±


    ¡°Haha, let¡¯s compete. How difficult can it be?¡±


    Of course, Fang Chen agreed without any hesitation.


    ¡°Brother, are you serious?¡± Fang Ping asked with an odd expression.


    One had to know that although the Three Styles of Breeze was a basic sword technique, even if Fang Ping was a fifth-grade martial artist and had a powerful martial arts talent, his current level was only to put on airs with the Three Styles of Breeze or bully people of a lower realm.


    If he wanted to master it and truly apply it, Fang Ping had to practice diligently for at least three days.


    Fang Chen had only taken a glance just now. Not to mention using it to compete, he probably could not even remember the sword moves clearly.


    ¡°Hehe, you all suspect me, right? Come out quickly. I¡¯ll show you what a genius is today.¡±


    Fang Chen left the study and called for his subordinates to prepare their swords.


    Soon, he and Fang Ping stood in the courtyard, each holding a sword.


    ¡°Fang Ping, come on. Let¡¯s see who¡¯s stronger in our Three Styles of Breeze.¡±


    With that, Fang Chen attacked Fang Ping with the standard technique.


    Of course, Fang Ping did not take Fang Chen¡¯s words to heart. He even thought of going easy on Fang Chen later.


    So he pretended to be very serious and raised his sword in response.


    Fang Chen stabbed straight at him. Fang Ping casually raised his sword to block, but at this moment, Fang Chen suddenly lowered his body and directly slashed at Fang Ping¡¯s lower body.


    ¡°What?¡±


    Fang Ping had never dreamed that Fang Chen would have such a change of move. It was too late to block his attack with a sword.

 Chapter 6

    In a hurry, he could only use all his strength to retreat, but he was still swept by Fang Chen¡¯s sword.


    What shocked Fang Ping was that when the tip of the sword swept over, Fang Chen actually slapped it lightly and retreated.


    One move, and Fang Ping was already defeated.


    ¡°This doesn¡¯t count. Fang Ping, I told you to be serious. Your brother¡¯s strength is really not a joke. Remember not to force yourself. If you can¡¯t hold on, increase your strength.¡±


    Fang Chen said with a faint smile and waved. This time, he waited for Fang Ping to make the first move.


    After the first round, Fang Ping naturally did not dare to underestimate Fang Chen anymore.


    Moreover, he was quite curious to know just how far Fang Chen had mastered the Three Styles of Breeze.


    ¡°Okay, Big Brother. I¡¯m really serious this time,¡± Fang reminded him, then took the initiative to attack.


    Fang Chen naturally countered every move. Soon, two figures twisted and turned in the small courtyard, and sword lights flashed.


    The more Fang Chen fought, the more comfortable he felt. After all, only in a real fight could he feel the power and essence of the sword technique more clearly.


    However, the more Fang Ping fought, the more shocked he became.


    After only two moves, he felt that he could not withstand it and hurriedly erupted with the strength of an eighth-grade. However, he only lasted five moves before he felt that he was in danger again. He could only continue to increase his strength to the seventh-grade.


    He had already crossed two realms, but it was still very difficult for Fang Ping. He could only increase his strength to the sixth-grade.


    Just like that, the two of them exchanged fifty moves, but soon Fang Ping realized that he was being suppressed again.


    ¡°Come quickly. I can only unleash my full strength.¡±


    Fang Ping was helpless. He could only show his strength as a fifth-grade martial artist.


    In the end, Fang Ping was shocked to discover that he was still being forced into a dangerous situation by Fang Chen. Sometimes, it was even obvious that Fang Chen was deliberately going easy on him, so he could continue to attack.


    At this moment, Fang Ping was already certain that Fang Chen¡¯s Sword Technique was probably much more exquisite than the Gu Changxue of the Sword Tower.


    While Fang Chen and Fang Ping were competing, the North Protector King, Fang Tianhuai, had unknowingly arrived at a corner of the courtyard and witnessed everything.


    ¡°Chen¡¯er¡¯s sword technique has probably surpassed the grandmaster level. He probably inherited Jin¡¯er¡¯s talent, right?¡±


    Jin¡¯er was the nickname of King of Zhenbei¡¯s wife. She was also the biological mother of Fang Chen and his siblings.


    Just as Fang Tianhuai gave Fang Chen a grandmaster-level evaluation, Fang Ping could not hold on any longer.


    ¡°I¡¯m not fighting anymore. I¡¯ve already reached the seventh-grade, but I still can¡¯t suppress Big Brother. In terms of the Three Styles of Breeze, Big Brother is even more exquisite than Master Gu. I admit defeat.¡±


    Fang Ping knew very well that in terms of the level of the Three Styles of Breeze, he was way inferior to Fang Chen.


    Although he had unleashed his strength as a fifth-grade martial artist, he was still restrained.


    Of course, this did not mean that Fang Ping was useless. After all, he could only use the Three Styles of Breeze to deal with Fang Chen. Fang Ping had only learned this sword technique today and was not proficient in it.


    However, Fang Ping had a feeling that even if he used all his strength, Fang Chen had that sword technique that seemed to turn something rotten into something magical. It would not be easy for him to win. It was even very likely that he would lose if he was not vigilant at the beginning.


    The result terrified Fang.


    ¡°Hmph, Big Brother must have learned the Three Styles of Breeze a long time ago. I was also there when Second Brother learned this sword technique. I also think that Master Gu¡¯s sword dance is not as good as Big Brother¡¯s.¡±


    Fang Yinyin huffed as they separated.


    She had yet to learn martial arts, but from the perspective of a bystander, Fang Chen¡¯s sword dance was even better than that of Gu Changxue. This proved that Fang Chen¡¯s grasp of the Three Styles of Breeze was even more exquisite.


    After all, this so-called technique was actually to use the sword technique more naturally like an arm. This was a true achievement.


    ¡°Hehe, if your brother had known this set of sword techniques earlier, he wouldn¡¯t have been beaten up.¡±


    At this moment, Fang Tianhuai walked over from the corner of the courtyard and smiled.


    The surrounding servants hurriedly bowed. Fang Ping, Fang Yinyin, and Fang Dapan also greeted Fang Tianhuai respectfully.


    After Fang Chen woke up, he saw Fang Tianhuai again.


    Thinking of how Fang Tianhuai had doted on him in his memories, thinking of the news of Fang Tianhuai¡¯s tragic death at the last border, Fang Chen¡¯s heart throbbed.


    At this moment, everyone was greeting Fang Tianhuai. His younger siblings also called him father sweetly. Fang Chen also asked Fang Tianhuai casually, ¡°Father, when did you come over?¡±


    However, as soon as he spoke, the originally lively atmosphere in the courtyard instantly disappeared.


    The courtyard fell into a dead silence. Everyone looked at Fang Chen in shock.


    ¡°This¡­ The prince just woke up and called for his father. It might be the case if he still has residual effects of his brain disease. But now, he clearly looks better. Why is he still calling for his father? Could it be that his brain disease has relapsed?¡±


    Fang Dapan¡¯s eyes quickly revealed a look of panic. He ran away and had already begun to shout, ¡°Divine Doctor, save the prince, Divine Doctor¡­¡±


    Fang Tianhuai also looked at Fang Chen nervously, the worry in his eyes thick.


    Meanwhile, Fang Ping and Fang Yinyin were already teary-eyed and on the verge of tears.


    Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Fang Chen instantly reacted. Before he fainted, he was not as polite to his cheapskate father, Fang Tianhuai.


    ¡°Old man, are you lost just because I called you father? I was just teasing you. Why are you so scared? Didn¡¯t I tell you that I want to practice martial arts? Where¡¯s the master you hired for me? Why isn¡¯t he here yet?¡± Fang Chen quickly mediated and asked Fang Tianhuai impolitely.


    As soon as he said this, everyone¡¯s expressions relaxed. They looked at Fang Chen with expressions that said, ¡°So you¡¯re joking with us.¡±


    ¡°Aiya, that¡¯s right. You scared your father to death. You can stop teasing me in the future. I was worried that you wouldn¡¯t wake up these few days. My heart can¡¯t take it anymore.¡±


    Fang Tianhuai heard Fang Chen¡¯s familiar attitude and tone and finally heaved a sigh of relief.


    Fang Dapan did not call for the divine doctor anymore. He came to Fang Chen and said seriously, ¡°Yes, yes, yes. This is what a prince should be like. You scared me to death. I thought that the prince¡¯s brain disease had relapsed.¡±


    BANG!


    Fang Chen kicked Fang Dapan to the ground, but he was still angry. He threw his sword away and wanted to go up and kick him a few more times.


    However, at that moment, his thigh tightened and he realized that the chubby Fang Yinyin was hugging him.


    ¡°Big Brother, can you stop hitting Uncle Pan first? Yinyin just watched you compete with Second Brother and felt that moving your eyes consumed a lot of energy. Now that my stomach is rumbling from hunger, can you bring me to eat before hitting Uncle Pan?¡±


    Fang Yinyin¡¯s eyes were filled with tears. It was obvious that if he did not give her food soon, the little girl would cry from hunger.


    Fang Chen was instantly amused.


    ¡°Haha, Yinyin, so you have to eat your fill before you can roll around with your big eyes? I like your big eyes. I can¡¯t let her starve. Let¡¯s go eat something good.¡±


    Fang Chen picked up Fang Yinyin and led the way to the main hall of the mansion.

 Chapter 7

    Soon, the family of four sat at the large dining table. A pile of delicacies was placed on it, and the few of them ate happily.


    When they were almost done eating, Fang Tianhuai suddenly said to Fang Chen, ¡°Chen¡¯er, can I discuss something with you?¡±


    ¡°Tell me about it first,¡± Fang Chen said casually.


    ¡°Um¡­ someone in the imperial court brought a message to Father. Some people in the capital of the Great Yan said that you¡¯re already an adult and have reached the age of marriage. Princess Xiangling of the dynasty is the same age as you. You¡¯ve seen her when you were young, so they want you to marry Princess Xiangling¡­¡±


    As Fang Tianhuai spoke, he noticed Fang Chen¡¯s expression and casually explained, ¡°Well¡­ It¡¯s not for you to be a consort. We¡¯re going to let Princess Xiangling marry you and be your consort.


    This news is most likely true. The Imperial Court might send someone to propose marriage soon, so Father wants to ask your opinion in advance?¡±


    As Fang Chen ate, he glanced at the careful Fang Tianhuai.


    He knew that in the capital of Great Yan, be it the royal family or some courtiers, they were all extremely wary of the Zhenbei Mansion.


    There must be some special purpose for marriage at such a time.


    Especially since letting Princess Xiangling marry was completely against the rule of law.


    After all, there was only one possibility for a princess to marry out. That was that her country¡¯s power had been damaged and the family had no choice but to marry the princess as a gift.


    This was something that would damage a country¡¯s reputation.


    The Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom would never allow such a thing to happen. Therefore, someone might be trying to test the reaction of the Zhenbei Mansion.


    This was equivalent to the Great Yan¡¯s royal family testing the waters and seeing if King of Zhenbei dared to hit them.


    If the King of Zhenbei agreed, it would be a slap in the face to the Great Yan Imperial Family.


    However, if they did not agree, the Great Yan Imperial Family could still say that the King of Zhenbei was shameless and did not take them seriously.


    Anyway, if this really happened, the intention would be intriguing.


    Of course, the King of Zhenbei, Fang Tianhuai, knew that.


    However, because Fang Chen had seen Princess Xiangling before, and this was more or less Fang Chen¡¯s important life event, once this news really became a reality, he had to deal with it as soon as possible. At that time, it would probably be too late to discuss it with Fang Chen.


    That was why he chose to say it now and listen to Fang Chen¡¯s opinion.


    Fang Chen did not understand the details, but he knew that with his identity, the marriage was not his private matter, but a major matter that concerned the future of the Zhenbei Mansion.


    As for Princess Xiangling, to be honest, he had met her when he was young. He had no impression of her now, so he was not interested at all.


    Therefore, he casually said, ¡°Old man, I¡¯m not experienced in such matters either.¡±


    He vaguely remembered that Princess Xiangling was alright when she was young, but he had no impression of her now. He did not know what her personality was like.


    ¡°Why don¡¯t you make up your mind? If you think I can marry her, then I¡¯ll marry her. If not, then turn her down. It doesn¡¯t matter to me.¡± After saying that, Fang Chen continued eating without looking at Fang Tianhuai¡¯s attitude.


    Fang Tianhuai¡¯s eyes flickered. For a moment, he did not know how to deal with it.


    Not only did he not want to play tricks with the royal family, but he also did not like to let an outsider come to the Zhenbei Mansion.


    After all, if Princess Xiangling really entered the Zhenbei Mansion, he would have to guard against her. After all, she was his daughter-in-law. If he did not guard against her, some secrets in the Zhenbei Mansion would be exposed.


    He looked at Fang Chen seriously. Fang Chen was just eating there. He did not know what Fang Chen was planning.


    Helpless, he retracted his gaze and saw Fang Ping and Fang Yinyin secretly glancing at him and Fang Chen. After glaring at the two of them, Fang Tianhuai thought for a moment and probed Fang Chen, ¡°Chen¡¯er, let¡¯s not talk about Princess Xiangling first. Do you have any girls you like in our country? If you do, tell me. I¡¯ll go propose marriage for you now and arrange a wedding for you tomorrow. How about that?¡±


    ¡°Pfff¡­¡±


    Fang Chen had just eaten it when he spat it all out. Fortunately, he reacted quickly. Otherwise, he would have spat it all out on Fang Tianhuai¡¯s face.


    ¡°Old man, I¡¯ve just become an adult. This matter shouldn¡¯t be so urgent, right?


    Besides, I was about to go out and learn martial arts. Women would only affect my sword drawing speed.


    So if you really have nothing to do, why don¡¯t you give us a stepmother? Maybe you can even give us a few more younger siblings.¡±


    Fang Chen frowned, looking unhappy.


    Fang Tianhuai was instantly rendered speechless by Fang Chen.


    ¡°No, no. If we add more younger siblings, our family won¡¯t be able to afford it. What if they snatch Yinyin¡¯s delicious food?¡±


    At this moment, Fang Yinyin suddenly pulled a long face and glared fiercely at Fang Chen. It was obvious that she was very against his last suggestion.


    Fang Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry as he glanced at the black-faced Fang Tianhuai. He hurriedly picked up a big drumstick for Fang Yinyin and said, ¡°Alright, alright, alright. The delicious food is all Yinyin¡¯s. Even if Dad really gives birth to a few more younger brothers and sisters, Big Brother will chase them out of the Imperial Palace. I definitely won¡¯t let them snatch it from Yinyin, okay?¡±


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s fine. As long as we don¡¯t steal my delicious food.¡± Nodding, Fang Yinyin grabbed the drumstick and dug in.


    With Fang Yinyin¡¯s interruption, the topic of marriage and finding a girl was left unsettled. Fang Tianhuai had no choice but to find another opportunity in the future.


    ¡­


    Another day, a golden stream of light flashed from the sky and entered the King of Zhenbei¡¯s Mansion.


    Fang Tianhuai had long heard the golden eagle¡¯s cry. He walked out of the house and raised his hand. The golden eagle landed on his arm.


    Fang Tianhuai took off the leather cover tied to the golden eagle¡¯s leg and took out a creed. He took a look and said, ¡°This Old Qing Yu is really good. He said that he had already sent someone to pick Chen¡¯er up. I should help Chen¡¯er prepare.¡±


    Fang Tianhuai put the golden eagle back in the air and then headed towards the courtyard where Fang Chen was.


    Fang Chen was reading in the study. Moreover, they were all miscellaneous and even forbidden books.


    Yesterday, Fang Tianhuai asked him about the marriage. Although he did not express his stance, it could be vaguely seen that now that he was an adult, the attitude of the Great Yan¡¯s capital towards the Prince Zhenbei¡¯s residence had also become subtle.


    There were also some vague motives to truly understand the relationship between the Great Yan Capital and the Zhenbei Prince¡¯s Mansion. They could not be seen in normal books, but they were vaguely mentioned in some miscellaneous forbidden books. Therefore, Fang Chen got Fang Dapan to secretly collect some for him.


    ¡°Your Highness!¡±


    As he watched, Fang Dapan spoke from outside the door. Fang Chen knew that Fang Tianhuai had arrived.


    She quickly put away the books on the table and walked out of the door.


    Before Fang Tianhuai could reach the door, Fang Chen had already opened the door and left.


    ¡°Old man, why are you here again today? Are you going to tell me about the marriage again?¡±


    Fang Chen also knew that he had to pretend to be a good-for-nothing. Otherwise, he would be afraid if Fang Dapan kept asking for divine doctors.


    Fang Tianhuai shook his head and said, ¡°The matter of marriage is up to you. Father will do anything to let you marry the wife you want.¡±

 Chapter 8

    ¡°Alright, alright, alright. You¡¯re the dignified King of Zhenbei. Don¡¯t always think of yourself as a bandit, okay? Besides, I¡¯m so handsome and unrestrained. With a flick of my finger, won¡¯t the girls still cry and shout that they want to be my wife? Why would they need to snatch me savagely?¡± Fang Chen snapped.


    ¡°Alright, alright, alright. You can do as you see fit. I¡¯m not here to talk about this this this time.¡± Fang Tianhuai paused for a moment, then said seriously, ¡°It¡¯s about you practicing martial arts. Didn¡¯t I say that I would find you a master? Now that there¡¯s news, I want you to go to the sect at the peak of Southwind Mountain in the Northern Heavens and acknowledge Sect Master Li Qingyu as your master. Someone will come to pick you up in a few days.¡±


    ¡°Southwind Mountain? That¡¯s thousands of miles away from the Zhenbei Mansion, right? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re taking the opportunity to let me stay away from you?¡±


    Fang Chen had read a lot of books recently, and he had a basic understanding of some of the forces in Northern Blue. Naturally, he knew the location of the Southwind Mountain Whole Unitary Sect.


    ¡°Ahem, why would you think that? It¡¯s all because you want to practice martial arts. Dad found you a powerful master to help you achieve something. Of course, if you don¡¯t want to go, you can choose not to go. Our Sword Tower has many experts who can teach you,¡± Fang Tianhuai said with an aggrieved expression.


    ¡°Okay, okay, okay. I understand. Anything else?¡± Fang Chen said bluntly.


    ¡°Well¡­ it¡¯s a long journey. Although the Whole Unitary Sect sent someone to pick you up, you¡¯ve been pampered since you were young. I thought that I should send someone to serve you, so I wanted to bring you to meet the people who went with you to the Whole Unitary Sect.¡±


    Fang Tianhuai faced Fang Chen, obviously unable to raise his aura.


    ¡°Huh? Who did you send? Don¡¯t tell me it¡¯s a girl from the brothel?¡±


    Fang Chen¡¯s thoughts were not without basis. Fang Tianhuai could not wait for him to continue fooling around and give up on practicing martial arts.


    ¡°Ahem, how could that be¡­¡± Fang Tianhuai almost choked. He hurriedly said,¡± You¡¯re learning martial arts this time, not on an outing. No matter how unreliable I am, I won¡¯t arrange a woman for you, right? When the time comes, it won¡¯t be convenient for you to go to the sect. At that time, who knows who will serve whom? ¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s good. As long as it¡¯s not a woman¡­¡± Fang Chen glanced at Fang Dapan again and kicked him. He said casually, ¡°I don¡¯t want Dapan either. You can arrange anything else.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Dad has arranged for you to have an old and mature one this time. It will definitely satisfy you.¡±


    Fang Tianhuai pulled Fang Chen towards the back door of the mansion.


    Fang Dapan looked hurt. After a moment¡¯s hesitation, he followed.


    Fang Chen did not walk past the back door much. He was confused, not knowing what kind of existence Fang Tianhuai had found for him.


    However, Fang Dapan¡¯s expression became richer and richer. When he finally saw Fang Tianhuai walking towards the back door, he could not help but ask, ¡°Your Highness, you¡¯re not asking my father to go with the prince, are you?¡±


    ¡°Exactly.¡±


    Fang Tianhuai did not beat around the bush anymore. He nodded and shouted from afar, ¡°Old Man Fang, where are you? Come out for a moment.¡±


    Other than facing Fang Chen, Fang Tianhuai was the old master everywhere.


    He saw a thin and stooped old man run out of the back gatehouse and bow as he approached.


    ¡°Why, Your Highness, why are you here?¡±


    He first greeted Fang Tianhuai obsequiously and looked at Fang Chen. A glint flashed across his eyes as he said eagerly, ¡°Your Highness is here too. What wind blew the two of you here?¡±


    He then looked at Fang Dapan and suddenly kicked him until he staggered. He said angrily, ¡°You son of a b*tch, don¡¯t tell me you caused some trouble in the residence and the prince wants to chase us out of the residence?¡±


    Fang Chen looked at him strangely.


    At first, he was a little suspicious of Old Fang¡¯s relationship with Fang Dapan. With their figures, they did not look like biological father and son.


    However, that familiar lackey ability was exactly the same.


    However, at this moment, Fang Chen first thought of his previous life. When the bad news of his father¡¯s battle came, Old Fang disappeared for no reason. At that time, some people in the residence said that Old Fang was a peerless expert.


    However, Fang Chen looked at Old Fang now. He looked like he was about to collapse when the wind blew. Moreover, he was slovenly and sloppy. He really could not see anything impressive about him.


    No matter how he looked at it, it was an upgraded version of Dapan. Fang Chen suspected that if Old Fang sprained his waist or something, he would have to help Old Fang instead.


    Of course, the others did not know what Fang Chen was thinking. Fang Tianhuai watched as Old Fang lectured Fang Dapan and kicked Old Fang.


    However, it was obvious that he did not really want to kick. He avoided him, perhaps afraid of breaking his bones.


    ¡°Alright, stop joking around. I¡¯m here for something serious.¡±


    Fang Tianhuai¡¯s face stiffened and he said seriously, ¡°Old Fang, the prince is going to the Whole Unitary Sect on Southwind Mountain to learn martial arts in two days. It¡¯s a long way, so I plan to ask you to accompany him along the way to take care of the prince. Is there any problem on your side?¡±


    ¡°There must be no problem, Your Highness. The prince and I are definitely the best partners. Don¡¯t worry, with me around, I guarantee that the prince will enjoy better treatment than in the palace,¡± Old Fang said happily.


    ¡°Alright, since you have no problem with it, it¡¯s decided. Prepare yourself in the next two days. When someone from the Whole Unitary Sect comes to pick you up, you¡¯ll leave with the heir.¡±


    Fang Tianhuai nodded and made the decision.


    ¡°Chen¡¯er, Old Fang will follow you directly from now on. Get familiar with him. I still have some things to deal with, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡±


    Fang Tianhuai pinched Old Fang and left with an excuse before Fang Chen could say anything.


    Fang Chen stared blankly at Fang Tianhuai¡¯s back as he left. He kept feeling that something was wrong. He felt like he had been tricked. However, he could not pinpoint the reason for that feeling.


    When he regained his senses, he looked behind him at Old Fang and Fang. Both of them were looking at Fang with fawning expressions.


    ¡°Um¡­ Old Fang, since you¡¯re going out with me, I have to get to know you. Introduce yourself. What do you know and what are you best at?¡±


    Although he did not think highly of Old Fang, he felt that Fang Tianhuai would not casually hand him over to someone he did not trust, so he said expectantly.


    ¡°I know everything the prince knows. I¡¯m also good at everything the prince is good at,¡± Old Fang said without hesitation.


    Fang Chen was stunned. This answer was a little unorthodox.


    Thinking about it carefully, Fang Chen did not even know what he knew.


    ¡°Um¡­ give me an example,¡± Fang Chen asked curiously.


    ¡°I¡¯m good at eating, drinking, and gambling. I¡¯m good at everything, and I¡¯m as good at martial arts as the prince,¡± Old Fang said confidently.


    ¡°I¡ª¡±


    Fang Chen raised his leg. If not for Old Fang¡¯s thin body, he would have kicked him hard.


    He turned around and left, wanting to ask Fang Tianhuai why he had arranged for him to meet Old Fang, but he could not find him.


    However, Fang Chen did not pay much attention to it after that. In any case, he had never thought of bringing any followers. If he really had to bring one, he would just treat it as a way to relieve his boredom.

 Chapter 9

    After lunch, Fang Chen was reading again. Knowing that he was going to the Whole Unitary Sect on Southwind Mountain, he naturally had to try his best to understand the route in the past. Of course, there was also the status of the Whole Unitary Sect in the martial arts world and the deeds of that sect master.


    He had learned about the route and so on. He paid attention to some good food and fun along the way.


    However, he did not know much about the Whole Unitary Sect. It seemed that both this sect and the sect master, Li Qingyu, kept a low profile.


    As he was reading, a servant sent a message saying that the Feng family¡¯s young master, Feng Jun, had heard the news that Fang Chen was going out to practice martial arts, so he wanted to send him off.


    Fang Chen knew Feng Jun quite well.


    After all, Feng Jun was known as the second profligate son of the Northern Heavens. His reputation was almost on par with Fang Chen¡¯s. The two of them claimed to be the Northern Heavens Twin Stars. Of course, they were secretly known by the people of the Northern Heavens as the Northern Heavens Duo.


    Feng Jun¡¯s family background was also extremely good. He was from a wealthy family in the Northern Heavens that was only inferior to the Prince of Zhenbei¡¯s Mansion. In particular, the Feng family was good at business and had astonishing wealth.


    In his previous life, following the death of the King of Zhenbei, the Zhenbei Mansion was wiped out. As the number one clan in the Northern Heavens, the Feng family was naturally implicated.


    Fang Chen did not hesitate and went to the banquet.


    So he spent the afternoon reading and watching the sunset. Then he went straight out to the banquet.


    At this moment, the carriage for traveling had been replaced by Old Fang as the coachman.


    Soon, they arrived at the best restaurant in the Northern Heavens City. It was called Wind and Cloud Intoxication. This was one of the Feng family¡¯s businesses. It was said that Wind and Cloud Intoxication had branches in large cities. The people who entered and left were either rich or noble. They were earning money every day.


    As soon as Fang Chen arrived at the entrance of Wind and Cloud Intoxication, Feng Jun, who was dressed in a refined white robe, welcomed him.


    ¡°Aiya, Your Highness, it¡¯s been a long time since we last met. I¡¯ve really missed you so much. Ever since I found out that you were ambushed by a villain, I¡¯ve been thinking about you day and night. I was so worried about your safety that I couldn¡¯t even leave the house.¡±


    As soon as they met, Feng Jun exaggerated his feelings of reuniting after a long time. He even squeezed out two tears to boost the atmosphere.


    ¡°Brother Feng, why did I hear that you¡¯re afraid that you¡¯ll be beaten up too? You¡¯re worried and suspicious all day long. You clearly don¡¯t dare to go out. Also, can you squeeze out some new tricks for your tears? You always smell like onions. Can you be any more fake?¡±


    Of course, Fang Chen exposed Feng Jun without any hesitation. After all, he was the number one profligate. He was the one who pretended to cry. He was the one who saw through Feng Jun¡¯s tricks.


    ¡°Ahem, you must be joking. How can you doubt my sincere feelings for you?¡±


    Feng Jun coughed awkwardly and quickly pulled Fang Chen into the restaurant. He said with a sullen face, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about the past. I¡¯ve prepared a lot of delicacies today. Let¡¯s go up and eat first.¡±


    They walked on. Old Fang settled the carriage and hurried after them, only to be stopped by the shop assistant.


    ¡°Hey, who are you? Why are you walking in without saying anything? Can you afford to eat here?¡±


    The waiter obviously did not know that Old Fang had followed Fang Chen here.


    ¡°Are you blind? I followed His Highness here. How dare you stop me?¡±


    Old Fang¡¯s eyes widened as he scolded the waiter. Those who did not know better would think that he was the prince¡¯s grandfather.


    This commotion naturally alarmed Fang Chen and Feng Jun, who were about to go upstairs.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Fang followed me here. Don¡¯t stop him.¡±


    Fang Chen was a little speechless at Old Fang¡¯s dog-like attitude, but he still admitted it.


    ¡°Did you hear that, dog? Next time you see Grandpa, keep your eyes peeled.¡±


    Fang cursed the waiter, then glanced around smugly before he pushed him aside and headed for the stairs.


    ¡°Prince, Young Master Feng, slow down and go upstairs. Be careful of the steps.¡±


    Facing Fang Chen and Feng Jun, his expression changed instantly. He was extremely obsequious.


    ¡°A dog that uses his power to bully others is just like that lackey Fang Dapan¡­¡±


    ¡°What¡¯s so strange about it? The old man was supposed to be Fang¡¯s father. How could they not look alike?¡±


    ¡°This¡­ Sure enough, the son of a rat knows how to dig holes. So it¡¯s all because Father taught him well.¡±


    Many people around cursed Old Fang and quickly dug out his relationship with the eldest son¡¯s lackey, Fang Dapan.


    ¡°Shopkeeper, prepare a table of food and wine for Old Fang and me next door.¡±


    Feng Jun looked at Old Fang with admiration, as if he was envious that another special talent had appeared beside Fang Chen.


    The two of them quickly arrived at the private room upstairs. As expected, a table of delicacies had been arranged for Old Fang outside. Of course, Old Fang did not stand on ceremony and ate heartily as soon as the first dish was served.


    On the other side, Fang Chen and Feng Jun ate and drank. Soon, after three rounds of wine, Feng Jun stood up and closed the door mysteriously.


    Then, he said obsequiously, ¡°Prince, aren¡¯t you too mean? If you want to go out and have fun, why don¡¯t you bring your brothers along?


    My father didn¡¯t even ask me to go out of the city to harm people. Am I tired of playing here? Why don¡¯t you say that you¡¯ll bring me to practice martial arts and we can go have fun together?¡±


    Clearly, Feng Jun did not believe Fang Chen¡¯s nonsense about practicing martial arts. He felt that Fang Chen was tired of playing in the city and wanted to take the opportunity to go out and have fun.


    Fang Chen¡¯s face darkened and he said angrily, ¡°What nonsense are you talking about? Why am I the one going out to have fun? I¡¯m going to change completely this time. I¡¯m going to practice martial arts and become stronger, understand?¡±


    ¡°Tsk, you can fool others, but you can¡¯t hide it from me. We¡¯re good brothers who gamble with each other to find girls. How can I not know your tricks?


    Don¡¯t worry, Your Highness. As long as you agree to bring me along, I¡¯ll pay for all your expenses. Moreover, I¡¯ve already sent a batch of rare treasures to your residence just now. Take it as my sincerity in joining you.¡±


    Feng Jun looked at Fang Chen expectantly, as if he understood him.


    Fang Chen understood now. There was no such thing as a good banquet. Feng Jun was not here to send him off at all. He was clearly here to cause trouble and ruin his determination.


    Slam!


    Fang Chen slammed the table and said righteously, ¡°Feng Jun, we¡¯re all adults now. We can¡¯t just sit around and wait for death.


    As the saying goes, a good man¡¯s ambitions lie in all directions. Now that I¡¯ve come to my senses, I¡¯m determined to achieve something.


    Therefore, don¡¯t taint my noble aspirations with your filthy thoughts. Our paths are different and we don¡¯t work together. This meal of yours ends here.¡±


    After saying that, Fang Chen pulled away the dumbfounded Feng Jun at the door. Just as he took a step out, he thought of how the Feng family had been implicated by the Prince of Zhenbei in his previous life and could not bear it.


    He turned to Feng Jun and warned, ¡°Feng Jun, I¡¯ll give you one last piece of advice. A prodigal son returned home is worth more than gold. Take care of yourself.¡±


    With that, Fang Chen pulled Old Fang, who was still eating on the table, away.

 Chapter 10

    ¡°Hey, are you serious? Prince? You can¡¯t be serious, right? This is too much, right? If you stop being a playboy, wouldn¡¯t I be the only one left in our Northern Heavens Duo?¡±


    Feng Jun reacted and chased after him angrily. However, Fang Chen left without looking back.


    ¡°Is¡­ is this for real? In the past, the prince couldn¡¯t even say those words according to what he said. Why do I feel that he¡¯s really going to be serious this time?¡±


    Feng Jun came back to his senses and muttered to himself. Then, his expression changed as he muttered, ¡°How can this be? If I really practice martial arts and become a peerless expert, and if I¡¯m still a profligate, wouldn¡¯t I be laughed at and said that I, Feng Jun, am not worthy of being called the Northern Heavens Duo with the prince?


    No, absolutely not. I have to think of something to do as well. I definitely can¡¯t embarrass the Northern Heavens Duo.¡±


    On the other side, Fang Chen had come out of Wind and Cloud Intoxication and was waiting for his carriage to arrive. However, when he heard the commotion behind him, he turned around and saw his coachman, Old Fang, chewing on a roasted chicken.


    Old Fang was shocked by Fang Chen¡¯s sudden turn. However, when he saw Fang Chen staring at the incomplete roasted chicken in his hand, he quickly came to a realization and said, ¡°Prince, were you not full just now? Why don¡¯t I share my favorite chicken butt with you?¡±


    As Old Fang spoke, he really tore up the roasted chicken.


    Bang!


    Fang Chen had endured Old Fang for the past two days. This time, he really couldn¡¯t take it anymore. He kicked Old Fang¡¯s leg and said angrily, ¡°Eat your ass. Where¡¯s the carriage? Your carriage sent me here. Do you want me to walk home?¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­ Oh, oh, oh, I forgot. I¡¯m really sorry, Your Highness. I haven¡¯t done the coachman¡¯s job for a long time and aren¡¯t used to it. I¡¯ll go pull the carriage now. Please wait a moment.¡±


    Only then did Old Fang understand what Fang Chen meant. He quickly ran to get the carriage. Of course, he still held the roasted chicken in his hand and did not let go. When he ran, he did not forget to take a few bites.


    ¡°Oh my god, Father arranged such an old and unreliable person for me. If I leave the palace, can he really take care of me?¡±


    At this moment, Fang Chen no longer thought that Old Fang was a peerless expert.


    When he finally returned home, he heard from the servants in the residence that Feng Jun had given him many good things. They were all rare items from France.


    ¡°Old Fang, Dapan, I just parted on bad terms with Feng Jun. Should I not take these gifts from him? Why don¡¯t you return them for me?¡±


    Fang Chen saw several gift boxes in the study and asked the strange father and son with a conflicted expression.


    ¡°Prince, you and Young Master Feng got to know each other by snatching girls. Over the years, you¡¯ve been jealous of each other. You should still be together and take his things. It¡¯s only right and proper for you to be polite to him.¡± Fang quickly agreed, as if it were obvious.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Prince. If you accept Young Master Feng¡¯s gift, he will spend less money. Wouldn¡¯t restricting his spending be equivalent to stopping him from being a good-for-nothing?


    In my opinion, he should have been paid for what you said to him just now. If he suddenly realized it, wouldn¡¯t the Feng family¡¯s master thank you?


    So it¡¯s only right that we take these things.¡±


    Hearing this, Fang Chen instantly felt at ease.


    Thus, he began to unpack the gift boxes. There were glass balls, seven-colored coral, ivory carvings, and so on. In addition, there was a small dagger decorated with gems and a box of candied fruits.


    ¡°Hehe, this Feng Jun is really not bad. I was still thinking of going far away and didn¡¯t have anything to give to my younger siblings. Coincidentally, Feng Jun prepared a gift for me.¡±


    Fang Chen put the glass ball and dagger in his sleeve, then grabbed a box of candied fruits and headed for his siblings in the backyard.


    Soon he saw the two of them playing by the pond.


    ¡°Second Brother, catch that cricket for me. Let¡¯s roast it and eat it!¡±


    ¡°Yinyin, crickets catch pests. You can¡¯t eat them.¡±


    ¡°Second Brother, look, there¡¯s an earthworm. Why don¡¯t we eat it?¡±


    ¡°Yinyin, why do you only know how to eat? Other than a layer of skin, that earthworm is practically soil. Why don¡¯t you eat soil directly?¡±


    ¡°Then what should I do? Yinyin is hungry again. Second Brother, you don¡¯t know how to cook, and Father doesn¡¯t allow me to eat other food¡­¡±


    ¡°I can¡¯t help it. Why don¡¯t I catch you a fish? I hear you can eat raw fish.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t want fish, okay? I¡¯m sick of eating fish. And eating it raw, I wouldn¡¯t dare¡ª¡±


    Fang Chen listened to their conversation from afar and did not know whether to laugh or cry.


    ¡°Fang Ping, Yinyin, Big Brother is here to see you.¡±


    Fang Chen strode over, clutching the box of candied fruit.


    ¡°Brother¡­¡± Fang looked excited.


    ¡°Big Brother¡­¡± Fang Yinyin pouted, looking depressed.


    Fang Chen walked over and patted Fang Ping¡¯s shoulder. He looked at the unhappy Fang Yinyin and joked, ¡°Yinyin, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you so unhappy to see me?¡±


    ¡°Hmph, Big Brother didn¡¯t even bring me along when he went out to eat delicious food. Just now, when we were eating at home, Father didn¡¯t even allow me to eat meat. Now, I¡¯m so hungry¡­¡± Fang Yinyin grumbled.


    ¡°Hehe, okay. It¡¯s Big Brother¡¯s fault. I¡¯ll give you a gift to apologize for.¡±


    Fang Chen reached into his sleeve with one hand. A palm-sized, delicate brocade box appeared and he handed it to Fang Yinyin.


    He also took out the jeweled dagger and gave it to Fang Ping.


    ¡°Thank you, Big Brother.¡± Naturally, Fang Ping loved the beautiful dagger.


    However, Fang Yinyin hurriedly opened the brocade box and realized that there was only a glass ball inside. She said in disappointment, ¡°Brother, this glass ball can¡¯t be eaten¡­¡±


    Fang Chen was speechless. Fortunately, he was prepared. He waved the inconspicuous box in his hand and pointed at the candied fruits inside. ¡°Little Yinyin, look at this.¡±


    ¡°Eh, this is¡­ candied fruits? This is something from another country, right? I¡¯ve only heard of it before, but I¡¯ve never seen it before.¡±


    Fang Yinyin looked at the colorful candied fruits with all kinds of flavors and drooled. She did not want to speak at all. However, Fang Ping¡¯s eyes lit up and he spoke uncertainly, ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s the candied fruit from the other countries. Big Brother got a box today and can deliver it to you.¡±


    Fang Chen smiled and held the box forward.


    ¡°Mine, mine¡­¡±


    Fang Yinyin wrapped her arms around the box and eagerly shoved it into her mouth.


    Thunk.


    Fang Chen looked at Fang Ping, who had just reached out and retracted his hand awkwardly. He knocked Fang Yinyin¡¯s head and said, ¡°Yinyin, if you continue to be so rude, I won¡¯t let you eat anymore.¡±


    ¡°Ah, I¡­ then¡­ I¡¯ll give Second Brother one first. The rest is mine.¡±


    Fang Yinyin stuffed the half-eaten candied fruit in her mouth into Fang Ping¡¯s hand. Then, she hugged the entire box of candied fruits protectively to her chest and looked at Fang Ping warily as she ate.


    Fang Chen pretended to be angry. ¡°Yinyin, if you continue to bully your second brother like this, I won¡¯t give you any good food anymore.¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright. I¡¯ll eat with Second Brother.¡±


    Despite her reluctance, Fang Yinyin gave up the box.

 Chapter 11

    ¡°Fang Ping, don¡¯t always spoil Yin Yin like this in the future, especially when it comes to food. If you let her, you¡¯ll be harming her. Look, she¡¯s almost turning into a ball¡­¡±


    Of course, Fang Chen knew that Fang Ping was honest and humble, so he took the opportunity to educate him.


    ¡°Got it, Big Brother!¡± Fang Ping nodded, accepting it humbly.


    ¡°Brother, why are you like Father¡­¡±


    Fang Yinyin looked offended.


    ¡­


    Knowing that he was about to leave, Fang Chen had been in contact with his younger siblings for the past two days. One could hear the laughter of the three siblings every day.


    Of course, Fang Chen had already begun to set a certain standard for himself in the past two days. He had to use his time every day to practice martial arts and read books.


    If he practiced martial arts, he would have learned the Three Styles of Breeze from Fang Ping.


    Although the master of the Sword Tower could learn again, Fang Tianhuai told Fang Chen not to learn anything else in case his foundation was too messy. When he entered the Whole Unitary Sect, it would be difficult for him to teach systematically.


    As for the Three Styles of Breeze, it was only the foundation of the sword technique. It was mainly used to strengthen the body, so practicing more would be beneficial.


    Therefore, every morning, noon, and night, Fang Chen would take some time to practice sword techniques. After a few days, not only did his physique become better, but his mastery of the Three Styles of Breeze Sword Technique had also gradually been imprinted into his muscle memory.


    Of course, when he was tired from practicing martial arts, he would read books or play with his younger siblings. These few days were especially fulfilling.


    Fang Tianhuai naturally saw all of this. Originally, he was quite gratified that Fang Chen wanted to practice martial arts.


    Three days later, early in the morning, an old man in a green robe with a long sword on his back arrived at the entrance of the Zhenbei Mansion.


    At this moment, a servant at the door saw it. At first, he thought that it was just a passerby shocking the entrance of the Zhenbei Mansion. However, when the old man walked towards the door, the servant hurriedly came forward.


    ¡°Sir, this is the Zhenbei Mansion. May I know who you are¡­¡±


    The servant could tell that the old man was not simple. His question was very polite.


    ¡°I¡¯m Elder Xu Mianfeng of the Whole Unitary Sect. I¡¯m here on the orders of our Sect Master to bring the prince to the sect to practice martial arts.¡±


    The old man was the person sent by the Whole Unitary Sect to pick up Fang Chen.


    The servant¡¯s eyes widened and he instantly lowered his body. He said politely, ¡°Elder Xu, please wait a moment. I¡¯ll report this to the king.¡±


    Of course, the servants could not tell Xu Mianfeng¡¯s identity, but they knew that no one dared to impersonate him. They hurriedly ran to the mansion to report.


    However, soon, the main entrance of the mansion was opened. The King of Zhenbei, Fang Tianhuai, along with the three siblings and some special people in the mansion to welcome Xu Mianfeng. It could be said that they gave him enough face.


    ¡°Ah, so it¡¯s Elder Xu. Looks like Old Qing Yu still thinks highly of my son.¡±


    Fang Tianhuai was very enthusiastic when he met Xu Mianfeng. Of course, he was also very confident.


    ¡°Greetings, King of Zhenbei. I dare not neglect your orders.¡±


    Xu Mianfeng was neither servile nor overbearing.


    After all, this was the King of Zhenbei, a formidable figure who had single-handedly destroyed three countries and suppressed the martial sects. Coupled with the fact that the Whole Unitary Sect was still in the Northern Heavens territory, he was naturally even more respectful.


    ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re welcome. Elder Xu and Old Qing Yu are senior and junior brothers. Your arrival is not any less important than his,¡± Fang Tianhuai said politely. He turned around and said to the three siblings, who were looking at Xu Mianfeng in surprise, ¡°The three of you, come and greet Elder Xu. He¡¯s a true martial arts expert and your father¡¯s best friend. You have to be more respectful to him.¡±


    ¡°Greetings, Elder Xu!¡± Fang Chen and his siblings hurriedly greeted Xu Mianfeng respectfully.


    Xu Mianfeng¡¯s eyes revealed a hint of friendliness as he nodded in greeting.


    Of course, no one thought there was anything wrong with him. Instead, they felt that he had an indescribable aura. He was high and mighty.


    ¡°Alright, alright, alright. Elder Xu, please¡­¡±


    Only then did Fang Tianhuai lead Xu Mianfeng through the door.


    Soon, the group arrived at the main hall of the Prince Zhenbei¡¯s residence. Fang Tianhuai originally wanted to invite Xu Mianfeng, but he was rejected.


    ¡°Your Highness, I plan to leave immediately. However, I have a few words to ask Prince Fang Chen alone. May I?¡± Xu Mianfeng pointed at the courtyard and said politely.


    ¡°No problem.¡± Fang Tianhuai nodded. He naturally knew that Xu Mianfeng wanted to know more about Fang Chen.


    Soon, Fang Chen and Xu Mianfeng arrived at the courtyard.


    ¡°Prince, I heard that you used to be carefree. Why do you suddenly want to practice martial arts?¡±


    Xu Mianfeng frowned as he stared at Fang Chen. It was obvious that he had heard of Fang Chen¡¯s reputation before coming here. Of course, he had some doubts about his motivation and determination to practice martial arts.


    One had to know that in the path of martial arts, it was 10% talent, 20% courage, and most importantly, 70% sweat. It could be said that one could train three times in winter and three times in summer. Was he sure that he could endure such hardship?


    ¡°Elder Xu, you don¡¯t have to flatter me. In the past, I was useless. Living is a complete waste of air.


    I believe that Elder Xu had also heard about the attack on me some time ago. That time, I had narrowly escaped death and had a thousand dreams. It was as if I could see the decadence of the future. Therefore, when I woke up, I suddenly realized something.


    A good man should strive for self-improvement. I, Fang Chen, want to live a meaningful life. As the saying goes, a man leaves his name behind. I want to be like my father and be a real man.¡± Fang Chen¡¯s words were powerful and sincere.


    ¡°Good. Good self-improvement.¡±


    There was obvious surprise and admiration in Xu Mianfeng¡¯s eyes. It was obvious that Fang Chen¡¯s answer satisfied him.


    Xu Mianfeng did not say much after that and directly expressed that he was leaving.


    Fang Tianhuai was naturally prepared and nodded in agreement.


    Fang Chen had actually already packed up. Moreover, for this long trip, Fang Tianhuai had personally picked three good horses.


    ¡°Big Brother, I¡¯m afraid you¡¯ll be gone for a long time this time. I won¡¯t be able to see you for a long time. I prepared a Green Destiny Sword for you. It was given to me by my father when I was practicing martial arts. Big Brother, take it and treat it as if I¡¯m still accompanying you.¡±


    Fang¡¯s eyes were red as he handed Fang a longsword.


    ¡°Okay, Fang Ping. Big Brother is leaving. You have to take good care of Dad and Yinyin. You have to eat and drink well too. Don¡¯t mistreat yourself.¡± Fang Ping could tell at a glance that the Green Destiny was extraordinary, but he did not refuse. He took the sword and instructed Fang Ping again.

 Chapter 12

    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Big Brother.¡± Fang Ping did not say much. He nodded, agreeing to Fang Chen¡¯s instructions.


    ¡°Big Brother, Yinyin doesn¡¯t have money or anything else to give to you. There¡¯s still a chicken drumstick hidden here from lunch yesterday. Yinyin only bit half of it. The rest is for you. If you¡¯re hungry on the way, eat it.¡±


    Fang Yinyin actually took out a dried chicken drumstick from her sleeve. She looked reluctant.


    ¡°Well¡­ keep the drumstick for yourself, but you have to listen to Dad and your second brother in the future. Eat less. Otherwise, when Big Brother comes back, Yinyin will really become a little pig,¡± Fang Chen said helplessly.


    After that, Fang Dapan mysteriously gave Fang Chen something wrapped in cloth. When Fang Chen saw that it was actually a pornography book, he immediately kicked Fang Dapan aside.


    Parting always comes with reluctance. King Zhenbei¡¯s eyes turned red.


    ¡°Alright, Elder Xu is still waiting there. Let¡¯s not talk anymore. Let¡¯s go. Since you¡¯ve decided to practice martial arts, learn well.¡±


    ¡°Of course, if you really change your mind, send a message to the mansion. Father will personally bring you back and let you continue to live freely.¡±


    Fang Tianhuai pointed at the figure who was already standing proudly on the horse outside the gate and pulled Fang Ping and Fang Yinyin away. Then, he gave Fang Chen some instructions and sent a handful of banknotes to Fang Chen.


    ¡°Old man, don¡¯t speak. You¡¯re ruining my resolve. Take care of yourself and my younger siblings. I¡¯m leaving now.¡±


    Fang Chen put away the banknotes and suppressed his reluctance. He turned around and took a few steps to the main road to take a horse led by Old Fang. He waved his hand and said to Xu Mianfeng and Old Fang, ¡°Elder Xu, Old Fang, let¡¯s go.¡±


    ¡°Sure.¡± Elder Xu mounted his horse and bid farewell to Fangtian.


    Old Fang was not reluctant to leave. He did not even look at Fang Dapan at the gate. He let Fang Chen mount his horse and rode towards the city gate.


    At this moment, many people in the Zhenbei city knew that the prince was going out. They all stood on both sides of the road to send him off.


    Especially when they passed by the Drunken Red House, the girls inside were crying their hearts out, expressing their longing for the heir.


    ¡°Fang Chen, I didn¡¯t expect you to be so popular in this city. This is a little different from what I knew about you in the past.¡± Xu Mianfeng could not help but say to Fang Chen when he saw the people sending him off.


    ¡°Hehe, maybe the people on our side are more enthusiastic,¡± Although Fang Chen felt that the atmosphere was different from what he had imagined, he still said humbly.


    Xu Mianfeng nodded and his evaluation of Fang Chen improved.


    Only Old Fang¡¯s lips twitched as he turned to look at Fang Chen with pity.


    Sure enough, when the three of them left the city, the expressions of those who had sent them off instantly disappeared. They sang and danced happily, as happy as the new year.


    Only the ladies from Drunken Red House and the procuress were crying and begging the prince not to leave. They were all worried that their performance would plummet in the future.


    Of course, Fang Chen and the others could no longer see the scene in the city. After leaving North Blue City, the three of them rode towards Southwind Mountain thousands of miles away.


    The official road took three whole days. Along the way, they could see square fields and some humming farmers. It could be said that the mountains and rivers were beautiful, and the land was filled with outstanding people.


    In the past three days, Fang Chen had impressed Old Fang.


    Where there was a town station to stay, where there were delicacies, and where there was a beautiful scenery, he knew it very well. He had obviously done his homework before leaving.


    Fang Chen was also very thoughtful and caring.


    On the other hand, Elder Xu did not speak much. Of course, he was very polite.


    ¡°Prince, it¡¯s the mountain road from today onwards. Are you sure you don¡¯t want to take a look at that Yihong Brothel? I heard from the restaurant that that little Miss Hong is so beautiful¡­¡±


    On the fourth day, as soon as they were on the road, Old Fang approached Fang Chen and was about to say something, but Fang Chen interrupted him, ¡°You old thing, why are you still so scheming at your age? Why do you have to drag me along when you want to go? And how many times have I told you to call me Young Master?¡± Fang Chen said angrily.


    ¡°Hehe, Young Master, I won¡¯t make a mistake next time.¡± Old Fang pretended to slap his mouth. Then, he said slyly, ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s not that I want to pull you away, but I don¡¯t have any money. If you lend me some, I can make that little Miss Hong unable to leave the room for three days.¡±


    ¡°Pfft, at your age, aren¡¯t you afraid that your heart will explode if you take a look?¡± If not for the fact that he was riding a horse, Fang Chen would have kicked Old Fang twice.


    ¡°Hehe, as the saying goes, even if you die under a peony flower, you can still be a ghost,¡± Old Fang said shamelessly.


    Over the past two days, Fang Chen had also realized that apart from being a lackey, Old Fang also had a shameless ability. It made him even more speechless.


    They bickered with Old Fang all the way up the mountain path.


    It was also from here that there were no large towns on the road. They were all remote villages. The fields of the people here were mostly wastelands, and the water they drank had to be picked from far away. Most of the people who saw them looked sad¡­


    ¡°The difference in life between these mountain forests and the people living in the city is too great. It¡¯s like heaven and earth. They don¡¯t feel like people from the same world.¡±


    Fang Chen had never seen such a difficult environment in his previous life. He could not help but sigh.


    ¡°Hehe, what you¡¯re seeing now is already much better. You have to know that this is the bitter cold north. To be able to have such a standard of living, it can be said that King Zhenbei used to have good governance.


    ¡°As far as I know, even many places in the central area of the Great Yan Dynasty are not as good as Northern Heavens,¡± Xu Mianfeng, who had not spoken much, replied to Fang Chen.


    It was obvious that Xu Mianfeng approved of King Zhenbei¡¯s contributions.


    Fang Chen nodded, but in his heart, he was thinking, No wonder those wild history books said that the Great Yan¡¯s capital had always had a lot of opinions about the King of Zhenbei.


    After all, King of Zhenbei was actually defending against foreign enemies in an environment like the Northern Heavens and even managed his territory to be comparable to the central area of the Great Yan. This difference in status naturally made people doubt the level of governance of the Great Yan Imperial Family.


    At this time, if there were some voices that asked King Zhenbei to govern the country, coupled with King Zhenbei¡¯s original reputation and the situation of him holding his own troops, it was no wonder that the Great Yan Capital had always been afraid of the Northern Heavens.


    Fang Chen had heard that every year, the memorials to impeach the Northern Heavens would fly into the capital of Great Yan like snow mountains. Therefore, the Northern Heavens had to be on guard against the capital of Great Yan at all times.


    It could be said that during these few days of traveling, Fang Chen really felt that the fireworks were different from those in the Northern Heavens. This made him admire Fang Tianhuai even more.

 Chapter 13

    As they headed south, the suffering of the people became even more obvious. What they saw along the way also made Fang Chen, Elder Xu, and the others fall silent.


    Fang Chen rode on his horse and looked at the ruins of some villages he passed by. He could not help but sigh. ¡°The world rises and falls, and the people suffer¡­¡±


    Xu Mianfeng, who was dressed in a long robe embroidered with profound patterns, slowly opened his eyes from his sleep. He could not help but glance back at Fang Chen with a strange expression.


    Fang Chen seemed to have sensed something and did not care. He just looked at these dilapidated houses in a daze.


    It had only been less than a decade since the world was established. Although the various countries that had once been suppressed by Great Yan¡¯s powerful force had been destroyed on the surface, the aristocratic families and imperial nobles who were concerned about their old master had still been lying low for a long time.


    For as long as Fang Chen could remember, he had encountered more than a hundred assassinations in the Zhenbei Mansion.


    After leaving the Northern Heavens, he did not know how long he could hide his whereabouts.


    The Whole Unitary Sect was located at the border between the Northern Heavens and the Great Yan. He would only be truly safe after arriving at the sect.


    Before he arrived, he did not know how many pairs of eyes were staring at him.


    Fang Chen looked at the heartless Old Fang in disdain.


    Old Fang, who was riding on his donkey, saw his young master looking at him. He quickly put down the wine pouch in his hand and chuckled at Fang Chen.


    Two rows of big yellow teeth were exposed and his smile was foolish and naive.


    Fang Chen retracted his gaze and rubbed his aching forehead. He felt that the person his father had arranged for him was really unreliable.


    They still had to rely on Elder Xu Mianfeng for their safety along the way.


    Fang Chen looked at Elder Xu Mianfeng, who was leading the way alone and muttered to himself softly, ¡°This Elder Xu is said to be the junior brother of the Sect Master of the Whole Unitary Sect, Li Qingyu. Even Father is very polite to him. He must be a top-tier expert.¡±


    ¡°My phone is almost out of battery. I can take advantage of the fact that I¡¯m bored on the way to talk to him. If I can build a relationship with him earlier and have a chance to get some of his trump cards for free, I¡¯ll make a killing.¡±


    With this thought in mind, Fang Chen lightly clamped his legs on the pure-blooded Northern Heavens Night War Horse under him and quickly walked forward with Xu Mianfeng.


    ¡°Elder Xu.¡±


    When Xu Mianfeng heard this, he had a calm expression on his face.


    ¡°What can I do for you, Your Highness?¡±


    ¡°Elder Xu, you¡¯re too polite,¡± Fang Chen said with a carefree smile. ¡°When you¡¯re outside, call me Fang Chen. Little Fang¡­ Elder, if you think it¡¯s convenient, you can call me Little Fang.¡±


    Elder Xu said slowly, ¡°Young Master Fang¡­¡±


    Fang Chen said firmly, ¡°I told you to call me ¡°Little Fang¡±. If you keep talking to me like this, I¡¯ll be angry!¡±


    The corners of Xu Mianfeng¡¯s mouth twitched slightly. The other party¡¯s words just now had changed his mind. Now, he was seeing such a shameless face. This prince was really unfathomable.


    Xu Mianfeng coughed lightly. ¡°Little Fang¡­ Just say what you want to say.¡±


    Seeing that Elder Xu was so understanding, Fang Chen¡¯s smile immediately brightened.


    Over the past few days, Fang Chen had actually noticed it.


    This Elder Xu Mianfeng put on airs as if he had forgotten his feelings and was untainted by the world. However, he was indeed a kind-hearted person deep down. Otherwise, he would not have given the travel expenses that his father had given him to the poor before he even left the Northern Heavens region.


    Fang Chen smiled. ¡°Elder Xu, actually, I¡¯ve only decided to learn martial arts in the past two days. I don¡¯t know much about martial arts. Do you have time to give me some pointers?¡±


    Xu Mianfeng nodded and spoke, ¡°There are nine levels of martial arts in the world. Every three levels is a watershed.


    From the ninth-grade to the seventh-grade, it was called the lower three grades. Some people also called it the external three grades.


    It was very easy to reach the lower three grades. Ordinary people could break through the lower three grades through some external training, just like the most common practice of piling, carrying weights, resisting beatings, and so on. As long as they studied hard for more than ten years and practiced to the extreme, they could continuously break through the lower three grades and become an outer sect expert.


    Most of these outer sect experts were gathered in ordinary martial arts factions and armies. They often appeared in the eyes of the commoners in the city and were not mysterious.


    The sixth to fourth-grade were the middle three grades. This was not something that could be achieved by simply using external skills. Even if someone accidentally used external skills to break through, their potential was limited. Every step forward was harder than ascending to the heavens.


    This was because from the middle three ranks onwards, if one wanted to achieve it more quickly and conveniently, one had to cultivate both internally and externally. Other than the strength of one¡¯s physique, one also had to strengthen one¡¯s inner body. At this time, one had to borrow internal cultivation methods.


    Every Internal Cultivation Technique was a treasure that had been passed down for a long time. Most of them were grasped by sects that had thousands of years of martial arts heritage and were never taught to outsiders.


    In other words, in order to reach the middle three grades, one needed an inheritance, which meant that they had to find someone to teach them cultivation techniques.


    Of course, even if one entered the middle ranks, if he really wanted to improve, he still needed the patient guidance of a master and the combination of his martial arts talent and natural ability to advance further on the path of martial arts.


    It could be said that the number of people in the middle three ranks was much less than in the lower three ranks.


    For example, the twelve prefectures of the Yan Kingdom were divided into counties, cities, and towns. A sixth-grade martial artist was an absolute expert in a county. A fifth-grade martial artist was as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns. Usually, they were existences at the city lord level in a city. As for fourth-grade martial artists, they were basically military officers of the imperial court or sect masters of second-grade factions in the martial world.


    Above that were the top three grades.


    Top-tier experts in the top three grades were rare even in the martial world, let alone in the cities.


    This was because if one wanted to cultivate to this realm, one had to be able to endure loneliness, stabilize one¡¯s mind, and find a blessed land.


    Therefore, experts from the top three ranks usually exist in those top forces.¡±


    At this point, Xu Mianfeng deliberately paused for a moment before saying, ¡°Just like our Whole Unitary Sect, we can be considered a top faction. There are also a few high-level experts in the sect.


    ¡°Also, your father is a second-grade expert. It¡¯s said that he has many upper-grade experts under him.¡±


    At this point, Xu Mianfeng clearly saw that Fang Chen was in shock, so he did not continue and let Fang Chen digest everything he had just said.


    Fang Chen was indeed feeling a little uneasy.


    After truly realizing the gap between the ninth-rank martial artists, he naturally had a certain psychological comparison with the strong and powerful forces.


    As for the Whole Unitary Sect, he already knew that it was a top-notch force. However, Fang Chen had never expected that they would be so strong, especially his father, Fang Tianhuai.


    ¡°Damn, is Dad that awesome? Why didn¡¯t I see it before? I thought he was only a fourth-grade at most.¡±


    After hearing this news, Fang Chen really suspected Fang Tianhuai¡¯s motive for sending him to the Whole Unitary Sect.


    After all, if it was just to find a good master, his father, a second-grade peerless expert, should be able to teach him. In addition, father and son were connected and would definitely not hide anything. Wouldn¡¯t teaching be twice as effective?


    Fang Chen wished he could rush back to the Northern Heavens and question Fang Tianhuai if he had deliberately chased him out.

 Chapter 14

    Fang Chen felt a wave in his heart. It took him a long time to calm down.


    At this moment, he happened to see Old Fang, who was sloppy and had a blade of grass in his mouth. Thinking of the rumors about Old Fang in his previous life, Fang Chen could not help but ask, ¡°Old Fang, Elder Xu just said that our Zhenbei Mansion is a top faction. You¡¯re an old man in our Zhenbei Mansion. You should also know martial arts, right?¡±


    Old Fang turned around with a puzzled expression. Seeing Fang Chen¡¯s expectant and curious gaze, he said awkwardly, ¡°Well¡­ I know a little.¡±


    ¡°Then what grade are you?¡± When Fang Chen heard Old Fang admit that he knew martial arts, his eyes lit up and he quickly asked.


    ¡°Hehe, I¡­¡± Old Fang smiled. He obviously thought for a moment before saying seriously, ¡°Well, I guess I¡¯m considered a nobody!¡±


    ¡°A nobody? Then what the hell do you know martial arts?¡±


    Fang Chen felt that he had been tricked. He raised the horsewhip in his hand and whipped Old Fang¡¯s horse heavily.


    Whack!


    After a crisp sound, Old Fang¡¯s horse suddenly rushed forward.


    ¡°Ah, Young Master, why did you¡­ Slow down, slow down. My old bones are about to fall apart¡­¡± Old Fang howled in fear as he rode away.


    Fang Chen looked at Old Fang, who was jumping around on the horse¡¯s back, but did not fall. He still felt that he could not tell if Old Fang knew martial arts.


    ¡°Elder Xu, can you tell if Old Fang knows martial arts?¡± Fang Chen asked Xu Mianfeng.


    ¡°I can¡¯t tell. After all, experts are hidden. If some experts really want to hide, nobody can identify them.¡±


    Xu Mianfeng shook his head and did not evaluate Old Fang directly.


    However, Xu Mianfeng was also a little puzzled as he watched Old Fang¡¯s figure disappear. This was because he really could not see any traces of martial arts knowledge in Old Fang. However, the King of Zhenbei actually entrusted the most beloved heir to Old Fang to take care of. He really did not believe that Old Fang was just an ordinary old man.


    Even Xu Mianfeng could not see through Old Fang, so Fang Chen gave up on this topic.


    ¡°Elder Xu, what¡¯s with the first-grade fourth realm?¡± Fang Chen continued his confusion.


    ¡°Sigh, a first-grade is already an immortal-like figure. Among them are the Freedom Mortal Realm, the Carefree Earth Realm, the Unparalleled Mystic Realm, and the Divine Traversing Realm. Every realm is worlds apart. Only those who have truly reached it can understand it. As for those who haven¡¯t reached it, it¡¯s best not to bite off more than you can chew.¡± Elder Xu sighed. It seemed that even he had not reached the first-grade.


    Fang Chen nodded and did not ask further.


    Soon, they met up with Old Fang in front. This fellow was holding onto a tree and throwing up.


    ¡°Old Fang, what are you doing here?¡± Fang Chen said with disdain.


    ¡°Ugh¡­ the horse ran too fast just now. I feel a little nauseous!¡± Fang retched again and grimaced.


    ¡°¡­¡±


    Fang Chen felt like killing someone.


    ¡°Are you still going? If not, you can stay here and throw up.¡±


    Fang Chen was furious. He ignored Old Fang and rode on.


    Xu Mianfeng was aloof from the world. He rode past leisurely as if he could not see or hear the two of them.


    ¡°Go, go, go. Young Master, I¡¯m here. Slow down.¡±


    Fang stopped throwing up instantly. He flipped onto his horse and raced after Fang Chen.


    Fang Chen could not be bothered with Old Fang anymore. He took out his phone and studied how to charge it.


    Although he had not deliberately used his phone for the past two days, it naturally consumed his battery. This made Fang Chen very anxious.


    If his phone was turned off before he reached the Whole Unitary Sect, wouldn¡¯t that be useless?


    Therefore, for the past two days, Fang Chen had nothing to do. He let his phone welcome the sunrise and sunset, or even sun exposure, but it turned out that this phone did not have the function of solar power charging.


    However, when Old Fang mentioned that horse speed was too fast, Fang Chen suddenly thought of wind energy.


    So he tried to tie the phone to the Green Destiny. Then he danced the Green Destiny on the horse¡¯s back, turning it clockwise and counterclockwise, turning it fast and slowly¡­


    Old Fang and Xu Mianfeng saw this and thought to themselves, ¡°This guy is showing off again.¡±


    ¡°Hey, this is a robbery. If you don¡¯t want to die, hurry up and dismount and hand over the money.¡±


    Just as Fang Chen was happily walking around, a sudden roar suddenly was heard in front of him. A dozen ferocious mountain bandits blocked his way.


    The leader was a burly man carrying a huge machete. The machete was covered in blood and rust. It was obvious that he had experienced many bloody battles.


    Before Fang Chen could react, he saw Old Fang suddenly jump off the horse and run away screaming.


    ¡°Ah, don¡¯t kill me, don¡¯t kill me ¡­¡±


    Fang Chen watched Old Fang disappear and then looked at the group of bandits.


    ¡°Hey, one of us got away. Aren¡¯t you going to stop him?¡± Fang Chen asked the bandit leader.


    ¡°What¡¯s there to stop? It¡¯s obvious that he¡¯s a servant. If you scare him away, you¡¯ll save the effort of slashing him. However, if you dare to run, Second Master¡¯s saber is not to be trifled with. Hurry up and dismount.¡±


    The bandit leader replied coldly. With a wave of his hand, the bandits behind him surrounded Fang Chen and Xu Mianfeng.


    ¡°Old Fang, you son of a¡ª¡±


    Fang Chen secretly cursed Old Fang for not being loyal at all and running away. He, the dignified heir of the Zhenbei Mansion, was actually robbed without anyone supporting him. He hurriedly looked at Xu Mianfeng.


    ¡°Elder Xu, you should be more reliable than Old Fang, right? Isn¡¯t it time to take action?¡±


    Fang Chen glanced sideways at Xu Mianfeng.


    When Xu Mianfeng heard Fang Chen¡¯s words, he looked helpless. He frowned at the mountain bandit leader and said, ¡°You guys retreat now, or you¡¯ll be in trouble.¡±


    The bandits had long noticed Xu Mianfeng. After all, he looked like an old immortal.


    But he did not think he was so unlucky that he would actually run into an expert.


    ¡°Yo, old thing, who are you trying to scare? Do you think I¡¯m afraid of you just because you look good? I¡¯ve seen many bluffing liars, but in the end, they all died under my blade. You¡­¡± The bandit leader did not take Xu Mianfeng¡¯s words to heart at all. Instead, he started cursing.


    However, before he could finish, Xu Mianfeng¡¯s eyes narrowed and his beard and hair fluttered. Then, he shouted in a deep voice, ¡°Argh¡­¡±


    An invisible force erupted, bypassing Fang Chen and heading towards the bandits.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    More than ten mountain bandits were sent flying twenty feet away. They were dizzy and bleeding.


    At this moment, all the mountain bandits knew how powerful Xu Mianfeng was. He had defeated them without any bloodshed. He was simply an immortal.


    ¡°Old¡­ Old Immortal, please spare us. Old Immortal, please spare us. We only came out to snatch food because we were so hungry and ran out of food. We¡¯ve never hurt anyone before. Old Immortal, please show mercy.¡± The bandit leader quickly begged for mercy.


    Xu Mianfeng looked coldly at the bandit leader¡¯s saber. The bandit leader seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly pointed at the blood rust on the saber. ¡°Old immortal, that is chicken blood on the saber. It¡¯s to scare people. I didn¡¯t kill anyone¡­¡±


    Xu Mianfeng nodded and said, ¡°Leave. If I see you again, I¡¯ll definitely kill you.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, old immortal. Thank you¡­¡±


    When the bandit leader heard Xu Mianfeng¡¯s words, he kowtowed twice and ran away.


    ¡°Hey, don¡¯t run. Didn¡¯t I scare you for nothing?¡±


    Fang Chen looked at the fleeing mountain bandits and wanted to stop them. However, they ran even faster and soon disappeared.

 Chapter 15

    ¡°These bastards, why are they running so fast? Otherwise, if I ask them for some money instead, it should be considered money I earned, right? A million, a million, I want to earn money¡­¡±


    Fang Chen felt that it was a pity, but there was nothing he could do. After all, the bandits would not take him seriously.


    Seeing Xu Mianfeng looking at him in confusion, Fang Chen said awkwardly, ¡°Well¡­ I just feel that it¡¯s too easy to let them off so easily. We should teach them a lesson.¡±


    Xu Mianfeng shook his head and said, ¡°Let bygones be bygones. Since they don¡¯t have any killing intent, there¡¯s no need for us to kill them all.¡±


    Fang Chen recalled that the bandit leader had said that they had come to be bandits because they were hungry and had no food to eat. He asked curiously, ¡°Elder Xu, is what those people said true? Are they so hungry and did not have any food? Previously, we saw that although those farmers were struggling, they shouldn¡¯t be food deprived, right?¡±


    ¡°Yes, farming depends on the heavens. If you plant it well, you will have food. If you don¡¯t, there¡¯s nothing to eat. It¡¯s inevitable that some people go hungry.¡±


    Speaking of these refugees, Xu Mianfeng had a look of pity on his face. It was obvious that he did let the bandits off just now because he knew that it was not easy for ordinary people to live.


    Fang Chen nodded and did not ask further. After all, there was nothing he could do about such things. There were too many pitiful people in the world.


    Shaking his head and not thinking about those things, Fang Chen suddenly asked, ¡°Elder Xu, weren¡¯t you too powerful when you blew away the bandits just now? Was it our Whole Unitary Sect¡¯s kung fu?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s indeed a martial technique of our Whole Unitary Sect. It¡¯s called the Cloud Qi. It can erupt and attack the surrounding enemies. It¡¯s very difficult to learn. When you enter the sect, you can try it yourself,¡± explained Elder Xu.


    ¡°Oh!¡±


    Fang Chen held his phone and was eager to try, but he did not dare to let Xu Mianfeng show him again.


    Just as he was thinking that he had a chance to learn such a handsome martial technique, a figure approached sneakily.


    It turned out that Old Fang had returned with two wild rabbits in his hands.


    ¡°Old Fang, how dare you come back? My father asked you to take care of me. When you saw the bandits, you ran away. How dare you come back?¡± Fang Chen looked at Old Fang and said angrily.


    ¡°Young Master, with Elder Xu around, how could those bandits hurt you? I just happened to see a wild rabbit and wanted to get some delicious food for Young Master later, so I chased after it. I¡¯m not running away,¡± Old Fang explained as he displayed the two hares.


    ¡°Bah, who do you think you¡¯re kidding? You were shouting not to kill you. If the bandits hadn¡¯t already run away, you probably wouldn¡¯t have come back, right?¡± Fang Chen said angrily.


    ¡°Young Master, you must have heard wrongly. I, Old Fang, know martial arts. How can I be afraid of a few small mountain bandits? I really left to get better food for you,¡± Old Fang quibbled.


    ¡°Get lost, I don¡¯t want to talk to you.¡±


    Fang Chen looked at the shameless Old Fang and was so angry that his liver hurt. He decided to ignore him.


    The three of them walked for a few more hours, but they did not see any houses. However, they did see some refugees and beggars along the way.


    Some of the refugees saw that Fang Chen and the other two were dressed neatly and were even riding horses. Their eyes were filled with greed. However, because Fang Chen and Xu Mianfeng were both armed, those who were eager to try only followed them and did not dare to do anything.


    ¡°These people, what¡¯s the situation? They¡¯re not trying to rob us, are they?¡± Fang Chen said warily.


    ¡°Young Master, don¡¯t be afraid. With me around, I definitely won¡¯t let them hurt you,¡± Old Fang said righteously.


    Fang Chen glared at Old Fang and could not be bothered. Instead, he looked at Xu Mianfeng.


    Only then did Xu Mianfeng know that he was asking him. He quickly said, ¡°They¡¯re not stupid. They know that we¡¯re martial artists, so they shouldn¡¯t dare to act rashly.¡±


    Fang Chen nodded and was about to leave when he saw an old man holding the hand of a little boy. Both of them were in ragged clothes and walked unsteadily. He felt sorry for them.


    Therefore, he said to Old Fang, ¡°Old Fang, don¡¯t we still have some rations? Give them some.¡±


    ¡°What?¡± Old Fang glared at him and said unhappily, ¡°Young Master, there¡¯s no village in front of this mountain path. We might not have enough rations.¡±


    ¡°Cut the crap. You can hunt rabbits, right?¡± Fang Chen pointed at the two hares hanging on Old Fang¡¯s horse.


    Old Fang understood. If he did not listen now, he would probably really be kicked out by Fang Chen.


    ¡°Okay, okay, I¡¯ll pass some to them.¡±


    Old Fang jumped off the horse and removed the bag of rations from the horse¡¯s back. Then, he walked towards the grandfather and grandson.


    ¡°Hey, you two, my young master takes pity on you. Here¡¯s some food.¡±


    Old Fang walked arrogantly to the grandfather and grandson duo and poured the dry food in his bag in front of them.


    ¡°Food, there¡¯s food ¡­¡±


    But as soon as he poured the rations, they were seen by the refugees and beggars who were staring at them. Everyone suddenly rushed towards Old Fang like they were on steroids and swarmed over to snatch the rations.


    ¡°Ah, don¡¯t snatch, you bastards, madmen¡­¡±


    Old Fang was shocked by the people who pounced on him. He cursed and fled at the same time.


    When Old Fang returned, he said to Fang Chen with a crying face, ¡°Young Master, what should we do? Those bastards robbed us of all our rations¡­¡±


    However, Fang Chen looked at the refugees and beggars in a daze, deep in thought.


    ¡°Who would do that if they had enough food to eat?¡± Fang Chen muttered to himself as he jumped off his horse and walked towards the refugees and beggars.


    ¡°Young Master, don¡¯t go over. Those people are like lunatics. Let¡¯s leave the rations?¡±


    Seeing Fang Chen¡¯s actions, Old Fang thought that Fang Chen wanted to snatch the rations back.


    ¡®It¡¯s all right. I¡¯ll just have a word or two with them.¡±


    Fang Chen pushed Old Fang away and approached the refugees and beggars. ¡°Everyone, I know you¡¯re all starving, but snatching other people¡¯s food can only satisfy your hunger for a while. If you don¡¯t want to starve, you have to be self-sufficient.¡±


    Initially, the refugees and beggars were a little afraid when they saw Fang Chen coming over with his sword. However, seeing that he did not have any ill intentions, the bold ones immediately replied, ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s not that we¡¯re lazy. It¡¯s because our hometown suffered a disaster, our fields were destroyed, and our houses collapsed. We had no choice but to wander out.¡±


    Fang Chen nodded and confirmed his thoughts. He said in a clear voice, ¡°Everyone, I know a big shot in Northern Heavens City. If you¡¯re not afraid of hardship, I¡¯ll give you a letter. As long as you bring it to Northern Heavens and hand it to the officials, someone will arrange a plot of land and a house for you. Are you willing?¡±


    ¡°Ah ¡­ yes, I do ¡­¡±


    ¡°Young Master, I¡¯m willing too¡­¡±


    ¡°Young Master, let me go too. I¡¯ll return the rations to you¡­¡±


    As expected, when they heard that there were other passers-by, the refugees and beggars were extremely excited and fought to go. Those who had snatched the rations were holding them in their hands, afraid that Fang Chen would not give them a chance.


    ¡°Hehe, as long as you¡¯re willing. You can share those rations. There¡¯s no need to give them to me. Wait a moment, I¡¯ll prepare letters for you.¡±


    Fang Chen smiled. Now, he felt that those people were a little cute, so he asked Old Fang to bring the pen and paper he had brought.


    ¡°Stand still,¡± Fang Chen ordered, taking Old Fang¡¯s pen and paper.


    Old Fang did not understand, but he stood obediently.


    Fang Chen looked at Old Fang¡¯s hunchback and nodded in satisfaction. He wrote the letter on Old Fang¡¯s back and handed it to the refugee who had just boldly spoken to him.


    As the group of refugees thanked him profusely, they gradually left. Fang Chen looked at their backs and sighed.

 Chapter 16

    Old Fang secretly glanced at Fang Chen, an inexplicable glint in his eyes.


    Xu Mianfeng saw everything from afar and did not hide the admiration in his eyes.


    ¡°Your Highness is benevolent. This is the future blessing of the Northern Heavens,¡± Xu Mianfeng rode his horse to Fang Chen and said from the bottom of his heart.


    ¡°Hehe, don¡¯t flatter me. It¡¯s only because I¡¯m in the Northern Heavens¡¯ territory that I¡¯m doing good deeds. Otherwise, the world is so big. Even if I was able to save one, I won¡¯t be able to save a bunch. If I really try to show off, I¡¯m afraid that before I save anyone, I¡¯ll be dragged down to death,¡± Fang Chen curled his lips and said indifferently.


    Xu Mianfeng¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He felt that this Prince of Zhenbei was really unpredictable.


    So the subject was quickly brushed aside, and the three of them continued on their way.


    ¡°Old Fang, it¡¯s almost lunchtime. Let¡¯s rest here. Didn¡¯t you hunt two hares? You can show off your culinary skills now,¡± instructed Fang Chen. After walking for a while, Fang Chen was a little worried because he did not have any rations. He felt that his stomach was empty early on.


    ¡°Hehe, Young Master, don¡¯t worry. I¡¯m good at this. Wait for me with Elder Xu. I¡¯ll find a water source to deal with this wild rabbit.¡±


    Old Fang did not decline at all. He carried the two hares and headed deeper into the forest.


    Fang Chen watched Old Fang leave and felt that there was something strange about him.


    ¡°Your old servant is quite courageous. He¡¯s not afraid of encountering big bugs in this forest.¡± Suddenly, Xu Mianfeng said casually.


    Fang Chen instantly understood the deeper meaning behind Xu Mianfeng¡¯s words.


    Old Fang had gone deep into the mountains and forests, so there would definitely be some ferocious beasts roaming around. Without any strength, who would dare to barge straight in? Old Fang was definitely not stupid, but he was not afraid at all. This was clearly suspicious.


    However, Fang Chen was now certain that even if Old Fang knew a thing or two, he would only be able to escape.


    Therefore, Fang Chen had no intention of continuing Xu Mianfeng¡¯s words. He casually said, ¡°Elder Xu, Old Fang is courageous mainly because he has been influenced by me. Can¡¯t you tell that I¡¯m essentially a hero who can remain calm even if an avalanche happens in front of me?¡±


    Xu Mianfeng was speechless. He finally realized how shameless Fang Chen was.


    After a while, Old Fang indeed washed the hare. He even caught a few fat fish that had been washed. He even picked up a bundle of dry firewood and swaggered back.


    Expertly, he started the fire and set up three wooden racks for the barbecue. Then the three of them looked at each other and started the barbecue.


    ¡°Old Fang, your wilderness survival skills are not bad. When did you learn them?¡± Fang Chen also spun a barbecue grill. He admired Old Fang¡¯s ability, so he asked curiously.


    ¡°Hehe, when I was young, I, Old Fang, was also a graceful young master who liked to travel the martial world and take revenge. In order to encounter those young female warriors who had just entered the martial world, I had to learn this basic life skill.¡± Old Fang grinned as he turned the grill.


    ¡°I¡ª¡±


    Fang Chen looked at Old Fang¡¯s hunched figure and sloppy appearance. He felt as uncomfortable as if he had eaten a dead fly.


    The corners of Xu Mianfeng¡¯s mouth twitched. Although he felt that Old Fang might not be simple, he really could not stand him being so shameless.


    Fang Chen had completely given up. He did not want to ask Old Fang anything anymore and focused on the barbecue. When he saw that the barbecue had turned golden and the fragrance of meat wafted in the air, he took out a packet of powder from the small bag on his back and slowly sprinkled it on his barbecue.


    ¡°Young Master, what did you sprinkle? Why does it smell strange, like Chinese medicine?¡± Old Fang noticed Fang Chen¡¯s actions and asked curiously.


    Fang Chen originally could not be bothered with Old Fang, but when he saw that Xu Mianfeng was also looking at him, he said proudly, ¡°Old Fang, this is an exclusive invention of this prince. The barbecue seasoning is based on the principle of medicinal cuisine. The Chinese medicine suitable for barbecue is ground into powder. After a certain ratio, not only can it increase the freshness of the meat, but it can also permeate its own medicinal properties and make the barbecue even more delicious.¡±


    Fang Chen knew that barbecue was indispensable for this trip. It just so happened that he had seen a detailed tutorial on making barbecue ingredients before he transmigrated. He had even tested it himself, so he had learned it and brought some barbecue seasonings with him.


    ¡°Ah, really?¡± Old Fang¡¯s eyes lit up. He said excitedly, ¡°Young Master, sprinkle some for me too. I¡¯ll try your Chinese medicine seasoning.¡±


    ¡°Alright, you¡¯ve been busy. Even if you don¡¯t have any credit, you¡¯ve worked hard. I¡¯ll let you enjoy the food.¡± Fang Chen generously threw a packet to Old Fang, then looked at Xu Mianfeng and said bluntly, ¡°Elder Xu, you beat back those bandits previously and saved me the trouble. I¡¯ll give you a packet to try.¡±


    ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll thank you.¡±


    Actually, Xu Mianfeng did not want to try at all, but Fang Chen was the prince. If he did not want it, it would be too embarrassing. Therefore, he took the seasoning and imitated Fang Chen, sprinkling the seasoning on the roasted meat.


    Soon, Fang Chen¡¯s roasted hare was ready.


    ¡°Come, come, come. My hare is ready. One leg for each of you. Try my cooking and barbecue.¡±


    Fang Chen first gave Old Fang and Xu Mianfeng a rabbit leg each before grabbing an entire rabbit and gnawing on it.


    ¡°Wow, it really smells much better. I¡¯ve decided that when I have the chance, I¡¯ll prepare some of this powder. This thing is simply enjoyable to barbecue in the wild.¡±


    Old Fang took the rabbit leg and took a bite eagerly. Then, his eyes lit up and he praised, ¡°Wow, this is too amazing. Not only does it retain the freshness of the meat, but there¡¯s also a spicy fragrance. It¡¯s simply a delicacy.¡±


    Xu Mianfeng also started eating and was soon full of praise.


    ¡°Young Master, I didn¡¯t expect you to have such a talent for cooking. If you sell these medicinal powders to those swordsmen who travel the world, I¡¯m afraid this roasted meat will become a must-have in the future,¡± Old Fang flattered him again.


    ¡°Um¡­¡±


    Fang Chen¡¯s eyes lit up.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. This medicinal powder has been ground into such a state with a certain ratio of ingredients. It can be said to be my exclusive secret recipe. If this is used to sell it, once it forms a market, it will definitely be a monopoly.


    As long as this source of income is opened, I will have my own source of income. Even if the camera function on my phone can¡¯t be used this time, when a new function appears and I have to pay for it myself, I won¡¯t be stopped.¡±


    Fang Chen looked at Old Fang and suddenly felt that this old man was not so annoying anymore. He was simply his lucky star.


    After all, this business opportunity for barbecue was meant to satisfy Fang Chen¡¯s appetite. He had never thought of using it to earn money.


    In the end, Old Fang was so casual about it. That was really enlightening.


    Moreover, Old Fang had marked out the location of the crowd for Fang Chen.


    As for the swordsmen who traveled the martial arts world, this group of customers was very mobile. As long as the barbecue seasoning was good, there would naturally be people promoting it. It would be an invincible mobile advertisement.


    Food, clothing, accommodation, and transportation were basic necessities of life, and food was the hardest to satisfy.


    If this could really get the barbecue seasoning business going and become an exclusive business, a million yuan really did not seem that far away.

 Chapter 17

    With this business idea, Fang Chen instantly felt that he had opened a door to becoming rich. There were many things in the technological era. As long as he organized them well, there were many ways to cash out in this era where the foundation of life was backward.


    The more he thought about it, the more Fang Chen felt that his future was limitless.


    ¡°Young¡­ Young Master, did I¡­ did I say something wrong? I¡¯m a little scared when you¡­ look at me like that,¡± Old Fang asked carefully. He quickly noticed that Fang Chen was staring at him. His eyes were shining like a wild beast in heat.


    ¡°Haha, no¡­ You said it very well. Come, come, I still have a rabbit leg for you. Forget it, take mine and share it with Elder Xu. Give me the grilled fish in your hand. I¡¯ll help you roast it. You guys eat well,¡± Fang Chen expressed his gratitude to Old Fang enthusiastically.


    ¡°Well¡­ well¡­¡±


    Old Fang really felt that something was wrong with Fang Chen. How could a master do work and a servant enjoy it?


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, eat in peace. I¡¯m in a good mood. I¡¯ll let you enjoy yourself today.¡±


    Fang Chen took over Old Fang¡¯s job without any explanation and started barbecuing happily.


    Both Old Fang and Xu Mianfeng sensed the change in Fang Chen, but they did not know why he suddenly went crazy. After confirming that he was just snatching work, they did not care too much and happily enjoyed the fruits of his labor.


    The three of them were quite satisfied with the barbecue. They wrapped up the leftovers and saved them for later.


    After eating and drinking, the three of them continued on their way. After that, they saw some more refugees. However, this time, Fang Chen did not help them. After all, he knew that he really could not help them.


    As they walked, they saw that the sun was about to set. They realized that smoke was rising from the chimney not far away. They were all excited.


    ¡°Aiya, Young Master, there¡¯s a village ahead. We can change our taste now. Along the way, what I want to eat the most is hot porridge.¡± Old Fang realized that Fang Chen¡¯s mood was better, so he spoke more freely.


    ¡°Hehe, me too. After all, barbecue is fresh, but it¡¯s not nutritious without soup. We didn¡¯t bring a pot or anything. It¡¯s indeed a good thing to be able to enter the village and eat something like soup.¡±


    Ever since Fang Chen found a way to earn money, he had been in a really good mood. Moreover, he suddenly felt that chatting with Old Fang could actually make him feel even better.


    ¡°Hehe, if Young Master likes to cook, we can just buy a pot when we enter the village. I promised Master to take care of Young Master. Forget about the rest, but we have to arrange for food and drinks,¡± Old Fang answered casually.


    ¡°Gee, Old Fang, why didn¡¯t I think of buying a pot? You¡¯re so smart.¡±


    At this moment, Fang Chen really felt that Old Fang was a treasure chest. Especially some of his experience and ideas, they always made him feel enlightened.


    ¡°Old Fang, I realized that my understanding of you in the past was too one-sided. I have to apologize to you today. Moreover, I promise that from now on, we will not be master and servant but good friends. If you have anything to say to me in the future, feel free to say it.¡± Without waiting for Old Fang to respond, Fang Chen said seriously again.


    Old Fang was completely certain that something was wrong with Fang Chen. He glanced at Xu Mianfeng, who was clearly surprised by Fang Chen¡¯s words.


    ¡°Ah, well¡­ Master, you¡¯re not having another attack, are you?¡± Old Fang instantly panicked and asked worriedly.


    Fang Chen¡¯s eyes were filled with anger, but he quickly returned to normal and said casually, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯m doing very well now.¡±


    Old Fang stared at Fang Chen for a long time. After confirming that there was really nothing wrong with Fang Chen, he nodded and said, ¡°It¡¯s good that Young Master is so young. Be it master and servant or friend, I will definitely take good care of Young Master.¡±


    Fang Chen nodded. Hearing Old Fang¡¯s flattery, he did not feel disgusted at all. Instead, he was touched.


    As they chatted, they soon saw a mountain village surrounded by mountains on three sides. There was a small river in front of them. This kind of place with mountains and water was definitely the best place for some mountain people to live. Even if there were changes in farming due to disasters, there were mountains and rivers to temporarily support their families.


    After going down the mountain path and crossing the wooden bridge over the river, the three of them entered the village on horses. Because they thought that ordinary families rarely had excess food, Old Fang suggested that they go straight to the most wealthy family in the village. This was definitely from experience. Fang Chen and Xu Mianfeng were both full of praise for Old Fang.


    ¡°Hey, this village is really strange.¡± After walking for a while and passing a few houses, Old Fang suddenly frowned and said.


    Fang Chen and Xu Mianfeng looked at each other, obviously not noticing anything wrong.


    However, both of them knew very well that one of them was the prince with a high status and the other was a powerful individual of a top sect. Neither of them had been out much and they did not know much about such farmers. They did not have much contact, so they naturally did not feel anything strange.


    ¡°Old Fang, what¡¯s wrong?¡± Fang Chen was very satisfied with Old Fang now. Out of trust, he asked casually.


    ¡°Young Master, these farmers either farm or hunt and fish. They usually leave early and return late.


    In that case, at least many men would be coming home at this time.


    Even if all the men had gone home at this hour, there is no sign of anyone passing by. It is too much of a coincidence.


    Of course, what puzzles me the most was that there are no children playing and playing along the way. That is most unusual.


    After all, at this hour, in a place like this, children are the most irrepressible. Normally, when we come in, there will already be children surrounding us like we¡¯re rare species.¡±


    Old Fang did not say anything unusual. Fang Chen and Xu Mianfeng did not thought about it at first. When they heard it, they felt that he made sense. After listing a few things, the two of them also felt that this village seemed to be so quiet that it was a little strange.


    ¡°Be careful.¡±


    Xu Mianfeng¡¯s expression tightened, and he was obviously wary.


    Fang Chen lost his initial joy and became cautious.


    Of course, they had no intention of retreating from the village. Instead, they quickened their pace and headed towards the wealthy family they had their eyes on.


    Compared to the other villagers who had simple courtyard walls surrounded by fences, the wealthy families had large courtyard houses with earthen walls. It could really be said to be a high gate courtyard here. It was unique.


    Thud thud thud¡­


    When they reached the door, Old Fang took the initiative to knock, but there was no question or response from inside for a long time.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Surely there¡¯s someone there?¡±


    Fang Chen went to the door in surprise and tried to see the situation in the courtyard through the crack.


    ¡°No. I can sense someone¡¯s there, but they seem reluctant to receive us,¡± Xu Mianfeng said affirmatively.


    ¡°Forget it. This house doesn¡¯t accept visitors. Let¡¯s find another place!¡±


    Fang Chen tried knocking again, but the person inside did not move, so he gave up.


    However, after trying a dozen more houses, no one came to open the door. Just as they were all feeling restless, the sound of crying came from one family¡¯s courtyard.


    Fang Chen and the others quickly went over and realized that it was a family with a relatively good status, with the house having tall courtyard walls. They quickly knocked on the door.


    After knocking twice, they heard someone running out. Fang Chen and the others were delighted.


    But as soon as the door opened, a man with bloodshot eyes rushed out with a kitchen knife.

 Chapter 18

    ¡°I¡¯ll fight it out with you. I only have one son. If you want me to die without descendants, I¡¯ll kill you!¡± The man screamed and cursed and threw his knife at anyone he saw. He seemed to have gone crazy.


    Old Fang, who had knocked on the door, ran away, but Fang Chen was right behind him. With his Ninth Grade strength, he easily subdued the man.


    ¡°Hey, sir, we¡¯re just passing through to get some food. Did you misunderstand something?¡± Fang Chen asked doubtfully.


    ¡°Yah, we¡¯re just here to have some dinner. It¡¯s not like we won¡¯t pay you. You must be crazy¡­¡± When Old Fang realized that the man had been taken down, he came over angrily and cursed.


    ¡°Boohoo¡­ My poor child¡­¡±


    The man did not respond. He suddenly burst into tears.


    ¡°Brother, what exactly happened here? Can you tell us? Perhaps we can help you?¡±


    When a man cried, everyone knew he was like that because he had something on his mind.


    ¡°Leave. The men from the Seven Kills Sect will be here soon. You¡¯ll only be unlucky if you stay,¡± said the man with a look of fear.


    ¡°Big Brother, what Seven Kills? They¡¯re just a trashy sect that I¡¯ve never heard of. Just tell me what¡¯s going on. If the Seven Kills Sect really bullies the commoners, we¡¯ll enforce justice and help you deal with them.¡±


    Fang Chen raised the Green Destiny Sword in his hand and gave Xu Mianfeng a look as if he was watching his performance.


    Of course, Xu Mianfeng could tell that Fang Chen wanted him to show his strength and reassure the villagers. He was really unwilling, but he could not refuse. The corners of his mouth twitched, and he slashed at a stone lion at the entrance of the courtyard.


    ¡°Bam¡­¡±


    With a dull thud, the stone lion exploded.


    Fang Chen took the opportunity to point at Xu Mianfeng and said, ¡°Big Brother, did you see that? Our Elder Xu is very powerful. He can fight 100 people alone. What Seven Kills Sect? Elder Xu can destroy them with a single palm. Hurry up and tell us what¡¯s going on here. We¡¯ll help you.¡±


    The man looked at the stone lion on the ground and quickly gritted his teeth. ¡°Please enter my house first. I¡¯ll tell you in detail.¡±


    ¡°Let¡¯s go inside.¡±


    Old Fang did not stand on ceremony and walked straight into the courtyard. Fang Chen and Xu Mianfeng naturally did not refuse and followed him in.


    There were three large houses in the courtyard and a hall in the middle. When he pushed open the hall door, he saw an old man puffing on a dry cigarette. A woman in her thirties was pulling a seven- or eight-year-old boy along and wiping away tears.


    When the man led Fang Chen and the others in, the family was a little flustered.


    ¡°There¡¯s no need to be afraid. They¡¯re not part of a cult, and they said they could help us deal with getting our children back. Cuifang, hurry up and cook for them.¡±


    The man was obviously convinced by Xu Mianfeng¡¯s strength and was extremely excited.


    The woman named Cuifang was stunned. Her face lit up upon hearing those words. She quickly shoved the boy to the old man and hurried to the kitchen.


    After Fang Chen and the others sat down, the man began to tell them what had happened.


    This village was called Xiao An Village. There were almost a hundred families in the village who had lived here for countless years.


    The man in this family was called An Yongqiang, and the woman was called Wang Cuifang. She had a son called An Dong, and with An Yongqiang¡¯s father, An Daniu, the family was harmonious.


    However, more than three months ago, a group of cults who claimed to be from the Seven Kills Sect suddenly entered the village. They said that their village was facing a calamity. Only by sending a pair of children to the Seven Kills Sect every three days could they avoid the calamity.


    The villagers initially thought that the Seven Kills Sect were talking bullshit. However, after refusing to hand over the people for the first time, the entire village was infected with the plague. Seeing that no one could survive, the Seven Kills Sect appeared again and asked the village if they should hand over the children or if everyone would die. The villagers could only compromise.


    After that, children were taken away from the village every three days. Till date, 23 pairs of children had disappeared.


    It was almost An Yongqiang¡¯s turn. He was terrified every day, afraid that his only child would be taken away.


    And today, it was time to hand over the children again. When night fell, it would be time for the Seven Kills Sect to appear and take the children. And the boy would be An Yongqiang¡¯s son, An Dong¡­


    ¡°What? The Seven Kills Sect is going to capture Dongdong today, and the daughter of that rich family?¡±


    After hearing An Yongqiang¡¯s words, Fang Chen thought of the wealthy family they had first gone to.


    ¡°That¡¯s right. According to the order, it¡¯s indeed my house and the chief¡¯s house¡¯s turn today.¡± An Yongqiang nodded.


    ¡°What¡­ what the hell is the Seven Kills Sect doing? Why do they need so many children?¡± Old Fang said indignantly.


    ¡°It¡¯s a demonic cultivator. It¡¯s said that some cultivation techniques can be cultivated with the help of boys and girls. This Seven Kills Sect is probably a group of demonic cultivators,¡± said Xu Mianfeng, frowning.


    ¡°Elder Xu, are those demonic cultivators you mentioned powerful? If¡­¡±


    Fang Chen¡¯s meaning was obvious. If they wanted to save someone, they were really counting on Xu Mianfeng.


    ¡°However, some evil ways are difficult to achieve. As a disciple of the Whole Unitary Sect, I, Xu Mianfeng, am duty-bound to eliminate demons and protect humanity,¡± Xu Mianfeng said firmly.


    ¡°Awesome.¡±


    When Fang Chen heard Xu Mianfeng¡¯s words, he felt relieved.


    ¡°Brother An, did you hear that? Elder Xu is a peerless expert. He can definitely destroy the Seven Kills Sect,¡± Fang Chen comforted An Yongqiang and said, ¡°Brother An, call the village chief¡¯s family over. This way, the Seven Kills Sect won¡¯t take the village chief¡¯s daughter first.¡±


    ¡°Yes, sir. I¡¯ll tell the chief.¡±


    An Yongqiang was overjoyed and ran out.


    Not long after, An Yongqiang came over with a large family.


    ¡°My lords, I deserve to die. I was just afraid of the cult, so I didn¡¯t open the door for you. Please let bygones be bygones and save my daughter.¡±


    The village chief was also an old man. He lived in the same courtyard as his youngest son, who had three sons and a daughter. However, the village chief¡¯s family felt like a knife was being twisted in their hearts when they heard that they had to hand over their only daughter.


    Fang Chen looked at the village chief¡¯s daughter, who was supposed to be given away. She was about ten years old and had fair skin. It was obvious that she was a beauty.


    The moment the girl entered, she grabbed her mother tightly and looked like she was in shock.


    ¡°Old Village Chief, we already know the situation in the village. Of course, we won¡¯t blame you. Just wait here in peace. If the Seven Kills Sect dares to come today, we will definitely destroy them completely so that the village will never be threatened by the cult again,¡± Fang Chen could not bear it and hurriedly said to the old village chief.


    The chief¡¯s family was grateful and excited.


    Soon, An Yongqiang¡¯s family prepared a meal for Fang Chen and the others. They brought the best things in the house. Fang Chen and the others naturally did not stand on ceremony and ate their fill.


    After Fang Chen and the others finished eating, night began to cover An Village.


    ¡°Elder Xu, I wonder which family the Seven Kills Sect will go to first. Old Fang and I will go to the village chief¡¯s house to wait for them. If they go to the village chief¡¯s house first, I will bring them over.¡±


    With that, Fang Chen pulled the bitter-looking Old Fang away.


    ¡°Young Master, can¡¯t we go with Elder Xu? What if the Seven Kills Sect really goes to the village chief¡¯s house first and sees us attack?¡± Old Fang said worriedly as soon as he left.


    ¡°Old Fang, a man has his ways. Can you not be so cowardly? Besides, we¡¯re not fighting the cult. The Seven Kills Sect wants the children. It¡¯s not dangerous for us to lead the way,¡± Fang Chen rolled his eyes and said righteously,


    ¡°Alright, alright. Anyway, I will follow Young Master. If we live, we live together. If we die, we die together,¡± Old Fang spoke with determination.


    ¡°Are you out of your mind?¡±


    These words made Fang Chen wonder if Old Fang was real.

 Chapter 19

    ¡°Young Master, don¡¯t worry. I promise I won¡¯t abandon you this time. After all, we¡¯re doing this for the greater good,¡± Old Fang said seriously. This moment felt very reliable.


    Fang Chen was skeptical, but he did not question further.


    After Fang Chen brought Old Fang into the village chief¡¯s house, there was a knock on the door.


    ¡°As expected, people will come here too. If we¡¯re not here, they¡¯ll probably think that the village chief and his family have escaped. The entire village will probably suffer,¡± Fang Chen muttered and pulled Old Fang towards the door.


    The door opened to reveal five men, all of them wore blood-colored robes and masks that covered their mouths and noses. In the darkness of the night, just looking at them sent a chill down his spine.


    This was the Disciple of the Seven Kills Sect.


    ¡°Where is An Yongqiang¡¯s daughter?¡± One of the Seven Kills Disciples asked. It was obvious that they did not know who the village chief¡¯s family was, so they were not suspicious of Fang Chen and Old Fang¡¯s identities.


    ¡°My lords, we sent the child with the boy for convenience.¡± Fang Chen said calmly.


    ¡°Hehe, as expected of the village chief. Your awareness is indeed quite high. Let¡¯s go get them now.¡±


    One of the Seven Kills Sect¡¯s disciples made a strange sound of admiration.


    Fang Chen did not say much and directly pulled the trembling Old Fang towards An Yongqiang¡¯s house.


    However, just as they took two steps, an ear-piercing sound suddenly appeared in the direction of An Yongqiang¡¯s house. Immediately after, a blood-colored arrow of light shot into the sky, followed by the sound of fighting.


    Fang Chen¡¯s heart immediately turned cold. Needless to say, it was Xu Mianfeng, that stubborn fellow, who had attacked first. This would be a trap for him and Old Fang.


    Before they could react, two knives were placed on Fang Chen and Old Fang¡¯s necks.


    ¡°Oh no, that team is under attack. An expert must have come to the village. Let¡¯s retreat,¡± one of the disciples shouted.


    ¡°So what do we do with these two? Kill them?¡± asked the other disciple.


    ¡°Don¡¯t kill them yet. Take them back for questioning. Otherwise, we won¡¯t be able to explain ourselves if we go back empty-handed,¡± the first Seven Kills disciple said.


    The other disciple felt that it made sense, so they sealed Fang Chen and Old Fang¡¯s acupoints so that they could not move. Then, they headed into the deep mountains behind Xiao An Village.


    ¡°Devils, don¡¯t leave. Put him down¡­¡± Xu Mianfeng was very strong. After dealing with the Seven Kills disciples on the other side, he came to support Fang Chen and the others. Seeing that Fang Chen and Old Fang had been captured from afar, he shouted anxiously as he chased after them.


    When the Seven Kills disciple saw Xu Mianfeng¡¯s speed, he was shocked. He hurriedly ordered the three of them, ¡°The three of you can sacrifice yourselves to the Demon Sect. Go and scatter and attack the villagers to stop the strong enemy.¡±


    Fang Chen was just thinking that only a fool would stay behind to die at this time, but¡­


    ¡°Yes sir!¡±


    The three Seven Kills Disciples did not hesitate at all. They turned around and walked towards Xu Mianfeng.


    When the three of them approached Xu Mianfeng, they suddenly spread out. Then, they aimed at a residence and landed. They raised their sabers and slashed through the courtyard door. It was obvious that they were not in a hurry to kill anyone. They wanted to give Xu Mianfeng time to save someone.


    As expected, Xu Mianfeng was led by the nose. In order to save the villagers, he could only deal with the three disciples first.


    ¡°This clubmer, Xu Mianfeng¡­¡±


    When Fang Chen saw this scene, he cursed Xu Mianfeng to death in his heart. However, he had no choice. He could only pray that Xu Mianfeng would kill those three who were courting death and quickly catch up to them.


    The two disciples each carried a man, still walking as if they were flying, and soon entered the forest.


    It was obvious that the two disciples were especially vigilant after arriving in the forest. They tried their best not to leave any traces along the way.


    After about half an hour, the two disciples arrived at a stockade. Fang Chen and Chen were locked in a stone room in a cave.


    Finally, he landed on the ground. Not long after, his acupoints automatically opened. Fang Chen saw that Old Fang was lying there without any movement after being thrown down. His heart turned cold. He thought that something had happened and quickly went to check.


    ¡°So he fainted from shock. I was worried.¡±


    Soon, Fang Chen realized that Old Fang was fine.


    Bang!


    This scared Old Fang and he jumped up from the ground.


    ¡°Don¡¯t kill me, don¡¯t kill me ¡­¡± Old Fang shouted in panic as soon as he woke up.


    ¡°Why are you screaming? Didn¡¯t you say you would protect me? They haven¡¯t even made a move and you¡¯re already fainting from fright?¡± Fang Chen said disdainfully.


    ¡°Young Master, I didn¡¯t faint from fright, okay? I just accidentally fell asleep!¡± Old Fang whined.


    Fang Chen was speechless. This old man¡¯s shameless ability was simply unreasonable.


    Just as he was about to continue lecturing Old Fang, there was a commotion at the door. Fang Chen and Old Fang were shocked. They thought they were going to be interrogated, but the door opened and two figures were pushed in.


    There was a silly girl in her teens and a young woman in her twenties. They were both in tattered clothes and covered in dust. They could already tell what the silly girl looked like, but the young woman was definitely a beauty as they could see his beauty even through her tattered appearance.


    ¡°Sob, let me out. I don¡¯t want to marry some Sect Master. Let me go home.¡± After the two figures entered, the silly girl remained motionless, but the beautiful woman wailed and kept hitting the stone door, begging to be let out.


    ¡°Hey, beautiful, don¡¯t waste your energy, okay? If they were willing to let you go, why would they capture you?¡± Fang Chen looked at the beautiful woman and reminded her helplessly.


    ¡°Who is it? Who¡¯s talking?¡± The beautiful woman was shocked. She wiped her face with her shirt. She was too afraid to cry. She looked back for the voice, for someone.


    Fang Chen walked out from the shadows of the stone room and said awkwardly, ¡°Beauty, it¡¯s me. My name is Fang Chen. We came in first. Didn¡¯t you see us just now?¡±


    ¡°I¡­ I was scared. I didn¡¯t notice,¡± she said timidly.


    ¡°Well, none of that matters. Now don¡¯t bother to cry or you won¡¯t have the strength to escape when someone does save you.¡±


    As Fang Chen spoke, he sized up the young woman. He realized that although her face was dirty, she was very beautiful. However, he felt nothing towards this kind of beauty.


    ¡°Save me? Who will save me? There are so many bad people here in the wilderness¡­¡± The beauty clearly did not agree with Fang Chen¡¯s words at all.


    ¡°Beauty, I¡¯m not lying to you. With me here, someone will definitely come to save me,¡± Fang Chen said confidently.


    If Xu Mianfeng dared to let anything happen to him, the fury of the Zhenbei Mansion was definitely not something that the Whole Unitary Sect could withstand.


    ¡°You¡¯re lying. Aren¡¯t you from the Xiao An Village? I heard from the bad guys outside just now. How could those people from our village come here to die?¡± The beauty looked at Fang Chen in disdain, not believing him at all.


    Fang Chen was anxious. How could the dignified heir of the Zhenbei Mansion be suspected of being a liar?


    ¡°Beauty, let me tell you. I¡¯m a martial arts genius that the Whole Unitary Sect has taken a fancy to. If this trashy Seven Kills Sect wants to capture me, it¡¯s equivalent to slapping the face of the Whole Unitary Sect. Just wait and see. Someone will come and save me soon,¡± Fang Chen said proudly.


    ¡°Ah, really?¡± The beauty ran excitedly to Fang Chen and grabbed his hand.


    ¡°What are you doing? Men and women shouldn¡¯t touch each other. Don¡¯t touch me. I¡¯m a serious person.¡± Fang Chen shook off the beauty¡¯s hand and said seriously.


    Su Feifei was a little dumbfounded. She had thrown herself into his arms, but he actually rejected her?

 Chapter 20 - Saintess of the Demon Sect

    Chapter 20 Saintess of the Demon Sect


    ¡°Brother Fang Chen, my name is Su Feifei. If someone comes to save you, can you escape with me? I¡¯d rather marry you than the Sect Master of the Seven Kills Sect.¡± Su Feifei refused to give up and leaned towards Fang Chen again.


    Fang Chen dodged again and said righteously, ¡°Miss Feifei, please respect yourself. We¡¯re in the same boat. As long as I can be saved, I¡¯ll definitely bring you along.¡± Su Feifei secretly gritted her teeth. This was the first time someone had rejected her repeatedly. However, she knew the purpose of coming in this time, so she asked with a puzzled expression, ¡°Brother Fang Chen, are there many people from your Whole Unitary Sect? Can you defeat those bad people outside?¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the person who came to pick me up from the Whole Unitary Sect is an elder. He seems to have the strength of a top-tier expert. The outside world is filled with trash like the Seven Kills Sect. It¡¯s not enough for him to kill alone.¡± Fang Chen thought that he had to beat Xu Mianfeng up when he saw him, but he kept bragging.


    ¡°That¡¯s great, Brother Fang Chen. As long as we can really get out, I¡¯ll marry you, okay?¡± Su Feifei became even more intimate with Fang Chen.


    ¡°This¡­¡± Fang Chen was about to answer when he heard a scream outside.


    When Fang Chen heard the commotion, he was instantly pleasantly surprised and said excitedly, ¡°Miss Feifei, did you hear that? Someone has killed their way in. It must be Elder Xu who saved me. Don¡¯t worry, our Whole Unitary Sect is a righteous sect. We don¡¯t ask for anything in return for saving people, so don¡¯t say thank you again.¡±


    Su Feifei did not reply and looked at Fang Chen hatefully.


    Just as Fang Chen was wondering why Su Feifei¡¯s gaze was suddenly a little scary, he saw her walk back quickly towards the stone room¡¯s door. She opened the stone room¡¯s door and suddenly turned around and said fiercely, ¡°Fang Chen, right? I¡¯m passionate about you because I think highly of you. You actually dare to repeatedly reject me. Just you wait, don¡¯t fall into my hands next time, or else¡­¡±


    Otherwise, before she could finish, she had long disappeared.


    Only then did Fang Chen realize Su Feifei¡¯s strange behavior after entering. A chill ran down his spine.


    ¡°Otherwise, what kind of trash Saintess is this? Didn¡¯t you still run away after hearing the name of our Whole Unitary Sect? How dare you trick me? You¡¯d better not let me see you. Otherwise, the next time I master a peerless martial art, I¡¯ll definitely capture you and sell you to the brothel¡­¡± Fang Chen felt terrible. He never dreamed that he would be tricked.


    ¡°Young Master, lust is like a blade on your head. You have to learn your lesson this time,¡± Old Fang said to Fang Chen seriously when he saw Su Feifei leave.


    ¡°Blade your head. I am so handsome. Who would bear to use a blade?¡± When Fang Chen cursed, he did not forget to be arrogant. However, he knew very well that if not for the reputation of the Whole Unitary Sect, he would not have been played so simply.


    ¡°You¡¯re right, Young Master, but shouldn¡¯t we get out?¡± Old Fang reminded him with a smirk.


    Fang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and carried the stunned girl out of the stone room. ¡°Your Highness, it¡¯s great that you¡¯re fine¡­¡±


    As soon as he went out, he saw Xu Mianfeng rushing in in a panic. At this moment, blood kept flowing out of his sword, and his wide embroidered black robe was also stained with blood.


    It was obvious that Xu Mianfeng had charged in.


    ¡°Good my ass. Do you know that you almost killed me because you attacked early? If not for¡ª¡±


    When Fang Chen saw Xu Mianfeng, the anger he had been holding in exploded.


    ¡°I¡¯m relieved that His Highness is fine. Just now, I saw the Saintess of the Demon Sect, Su Feifei. It¡¯s my duty to eliminate demons and protect the righteous. I went out to kill her. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid she will poison the nearby commoners¡­¡±


    Xu Mianfeng blushed when he heard Fang Chen¡¯s words. He knew that he had done something stupid, but he did not wait for Fang Chen to say anything else. He casually said something and ran away.


    ¡°Xu Mianfeng, f*ck you. I haven¡¯t finished speaking¡­¡± When Fang Chen saw that Xu Mianfeng had actually slipped away, he was so angry that he really wanted to chase after him and beat him up. However, he was still hugging the silly girl, and Xu Mianfeng had already disappeared.


    ¡°Young Master, Elder Xu has already left. What should we do?¡± Old Fang looked at the trembling Fang Chen and asked carefully.


    ¡°What else can we do? Let¡¯s hurry back to An Village,¡± Fang Chen said angrily.


    ¡°Wow¡­¡±


    He was about to move when the young girl in his arms suddenly burst into tears, startling Fang Chen and Old Fang.


    ¡°Eh, Young Master, why does this little girl look like the granddaughter from the village? Her name is An Xiaojia, right?¡± Old Fang quickly changed the topic.


    ¡°Ah, that seems to be the case. I thought she was really a silly girl, but it turns out that she was frightened.¡± At this moment, Fang Chen also saw that she was really the granddaughter of the village chief of Xiao An Village. When they met, this girl was quite frightened.


    ¡°Young Master, you were right to scold him just now. Elder Xu is really a fool. Not only did he harm us, but he didn¡¯t even look after the people he asked to take care of. Don¡¯t let me see him, or I¡¯ll drown him,¡± Old Fang said angrily.


    ¡°Cut the crap. Let¡¯s go back to the Xiao An Village first. I don¡¯t know how to coax a child.¡±


    As Fang Chen spoke, he wanted to hand the crying An Xiaojia to Old Fang, but An Xiaojia hugged him tightly and refused to let go.


    Helpless, Fang Chen could only hug her and coax her as he walked out.


    The pile of corpses outside made Fang Chen¡¯s stomach churn. He quickly pressed An Xiaojia¡¯s face against his shoulder to prevent her from seeing the bloody and cruel scene.


    More than an hour later, Fang Chen¡¯s hands were almost crippled before he returned to An Village.


    Seeing his granddaughter, the village chief and his family kept kowtowing and thanking Fang Chen. At this moment, Fang Chen discovered the dilapidated walls of An Yongqiang¡¯s house, but he was speechless.


    The strong preyed on the weak. If one did not have the strength, they could only be eaten by others. He was even more determined to practice martial arts.


    After that, the group of people waited for Xu Mianfeng to return, but it was almost midnight.


    ¡°Young Master, perhaps Elder Xu chased us too far and is afraid of disturbing us when he comes back, therefore he decided to sleep outside. Why don¡¯t we sleep first? Elder Xu should be back tomorrow,¡± Old Fang yawned and looked at Fang Chen bitterly.


    Fang Chen had originally wanted to scold Xu Mianfeng as soon as he returned, but after hearing what Old Fang said, he felt that it was really possible, so he gave up waiting.


    ¡°My lord, our house is spacious. If you don¡¯t mind, you can stay at our house tonight.¡±


    His granddaughter was saved, the Seven Kills Sect was destroyed, and the Demon Sect¡¯s Holy Maiden was chased until she fled. The village chief was naturally very enthusiastic about Fang Chen.


    ¡°Fine.¡±


    Fang Chen had no choice but to agree.


    The few of them walked towards the village chief¡¯s house. At this moment, An Xiaojia, who had been appeased, approached Fang Chen.


    ¡°Big Brother, what¡¯s your name?¡± the young lady asked suddenly.


    ¡°My name is Fang Chen. What¡¯s wrong?¡± Fang Chen asked curiously.


    ¡°My name is An Xiaojia. Big Brother saved me. When I grow up, I want to marry Big Brother to repay you,¡± An Xiaojia said earnestly.


    ¡°Ahem, there¡¯s no need for that. When you grow up, I¡¯ll be an old man,¡± said Fang Chen awkwardly.


    ¡°I want it. Even if Big Brother becomes an old man, he¡¯s still the Big Brother who saved me,¡± An Xiaojia said stubbornly.


    ¡°Oh, well¡­ we¡¯ll talk about that when you¡¯re older.¡±


    Fang Chen looked at the village chief and the others and realized that everyone in the family was snickering. Even Old Fang could not help but laugh.

 Chapter 21 - Phone Out Of Battery

    Chapter 21 Phone Out Of Battery


    Soon, they arrived at the village chief¡¯s house. Fang Chen and Old Fang were given the best rooms. After the village chief¡¯s family thanked them profusely, Fang Chen finally calmed down.


    ¡°Oh my, they are being too friendly. Also, that young lady actually wants to marry me. In the technological era, I would probably be treated as a child molester.¡±


    Fang Chen closed the door and lay down on the bed, but he could not sleep.


    He had no choice but to take out his phone, only to realize that it was out of battery.


    ¡°Oh my god, isn¡¯t there still 10% left? I only used it tonight and didn¡¯t get anything. Why is it out of battery? We haven¡¯t even reached the Whole Unitary Sect yet.¡±


    He was already feeling uneasy because Xu Mianfeng had left. Now that his phone was out of battery, Fang Chen felt even more flustered.


    ¡°What are we going to do about this? I¡¯ve tried both solar and wind power, but it¡¯s useless. How can there be such a big bug that this phone can¡¯t be charged after transmigration?¡±


    Fang Chen stared at the phone, thinking hard.


    ¡®There must be something I haven¡¯t thought of.¡¯


    Fang Chen did not believe that the phone he had obtained was temporary. However, he could not figure it out.


    ¡°By the way, I should look for Old Fang to trigger some inspiration. I suddenly realized that Old Fang has always been able to benefit me greatly these past two days. With an old man at home, if there¡¯s a treasure, Old Fang might be able to discover the secret of charging my phone.¡±


    Thinking of this, Fang Chen quickly went to look for Old Fang.


    Knock knock knock¡­


    Soon, Fang Chen knocked on Old Fang¡¯s door.


    ¡°You don¡¯t have to be polite. I¡¯m already resting. Just remember to prepare a roasted chicken for me tomorrow morning¡­¡± Old Fang¡¯s lazy voice sounded. He was obviously treating Fang Chen as the village chief¡¯s family.


    ¡°Open the door, Old Fang.¡±


    Fang Chen really could not control his anger at Old Fang sometimes. He clearly did not do anything that night, but he was acting like he was the greatest contributor.


    ¡°Ah, Young Master, I¡¯m coming.¡±


    When Old Fang heard Fang Chen¡¯s voice, there was a commotion in the room. After a while, he opened the door.


    Before Old Fang could say anything, Fang Chen rushed into the room and looked around suspiciously. He quickly locked onto the blanket on the bed and strode over.


    ¡°Young¡­ Young Master, what are you doing? It¡¯s getting late. Shouldn¡¯t you be resting?¡± Old Fang quickly stopped Fang Chen by the bed and said embarrassedly.


    ¡°Get off me¡ª¡±


    Fang Chen pulled Old Fang away and opened his blanket.


    There were a few plates inside. There were fruits, nuts, and snacks. They were all things that Fang Chen had rejected from the village chief¡¯s family. Old Fang had actually taken them all to his room.


    ¡°Old thing, the village chief was already frightened by the Seven Kills Sect for a few days, yet you still dare to abuse your power and take advantage of him. Are you still human?¡± Fang Chen said angrily. ¡°Young Master, they told me themselves that if I didn¡¯t eat the food, they will go bad. Didn¡¯t I help them eat it out of goodwill?¡± replied Old Fang, bowing his head.


    ¡°I¡ª¡±.


    Fang Chen had once again experienced Old Fang¡¯s shamelessness, but he did not know what to say about him. After all, every time this guy tried to quibble, he would find a reason that made people speechless.


    Trying to calm himself down, Fang Chen stopped thinking about it and said solemnly, ¡°Old Fang, let me ask you a question. If you answer well, you can eat whatever fruits and snacks you want, but if you don¡¯t answer well, I¡¯ll make you vomit everything you eat. Do you believe me?¡±


    Old Fang¡¯s expression instantly turned ugly. He cried and asked, ¡°Young Master, can you not ask? Although I¡¯m old, I have a simple mind. I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to answer your questions well.¡±


    ¡°Simple my ass¡­¡± Fang Chen pretended to hit him, scaring Old Fang. ¡°Listen up.¡± Old Fang hurriedly stared at Fang Chen with a serious expression. ¡°Didn¡¯t you say that you¡¯ve also learned martial arts? Then let me ask you, if there¡¯s someone who wants to learn martial techniques faster, but has to consume some other things, say¡­¡±


    Fang Chen felt that he did not know what the hell he was saying, but at this moment, Old Fang suddenly said, ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s True Qi, right? Ordinary people know this logic too, right? If the True Qi is powerful enough, one can learn faster. Of course, the more you learn, the more True Qi you consume.¡±


    ¡°True Qi? Yes, it does consume True Qi¡­¡±


    Fang Chen instantly felt enlightened. ¡°Alright, continue eating. I¡¯ll leave you alone.¡±


    Fang Chen did not have time to say anything else. He turned around and left Old Fang¡¯s room.


    ¡°This¡­ Young Master, what¡¯s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry? Did you eat something wrong?¡±


    Old Fang stared at Fang Chen¡¯s departing figure thoughtfully. Fang Chen returned to his room and suppressed his excitement. He took out his phone.


    ¡°True Qi, True Qi. Although I haven¡¯t officially cultivated a cultivation technique, I¡¯ve already reached the ninth-grade after practicing the Three Styles of Breeze. There are also some scattered True Qi in various parts of my body that I can mobilize¡­¡±


    Fang Chen sat cross-legged on the bed and held the phone between his hands. Then, he began to mobilize the scattered True Qi in his body. He used the phone as a weapon and tried to inject True Qi into it¡­


    ¡°Ding! Cell phone charging¡­¡± ¡°I can really charge using True Qi!¡±


    Fang Chen was so excited that he wanted to jump up. Fortunately, Old Fang was not by his side. Otherwise, he would have really lost control and kissed him.


    ¡°It¡¯s perfect. As long as I can charge it, I won¡¯t have to be afraid of running out of power like in the past. When the time comes, I can turn it on and film it at any time. All the powerful martial arts in the world have become my means. Why should I worry about not becoming stronger¡­¡±


    As Fang Chen thought, his hands did not stop. He injected his True Qi into the phone as if it was free.


    le


    However, 15 minutes later, Fang Chen was a little flustered.


    This was because he realized that the True Qi in his body was almost exhausted, but the phone was still not fully charged.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Don¡¯t tell me I¡¯m going to lose all my True Qi in order to fully charge the phone?¡±


    Fang Chen was a little uncertain, but in order to accurately know how much True Qi was needed to charge the phone, he mobilized all the True Qi in his body.


    BANG!


    After a while, the phone was fully charged, but Fang Chen could not hold on any longer and collapsed on his back.


    ¡°There¡¯s nothing left, not a single bit. I even feel that I¡¯ve overdrawn some of my own energy to convert into True Qi. It took me so much before my phone is fully charged. It¡¯s simply too much.


    In that case, it seems that before I break through, I can¡¯t play with my phone recklessly. Otherwise, I¡¯ll be weak every day¡­¡±


    Fang Chen had calculated his martial strength when he was at the Zhenbei Mansion.


    If he used the Three Styles of Breeze with all his might, his True Qi would only allow him to last for more than 15 minutes. However, once his True Qi was exhausted, he would need half a day to recover.


    Which led him to the conclusion he¡¯d just reached.


    At this moment, Fang Chen was so exhausted that he could not even open his eyes. He quickly fell asleep.

 Chapter 22 - True Qi Charging

    Chapter 22 True Qi Charging


    ¡°Big Brother, Brother Fang Chen, it¡¯s time for breakfast¡­¡±


    The next day, Fang Chen was woken up by An Xiaojia. He sat up in bed. His stamina and true Qi had recovered a lot, but many parts of his body were uncomfortable.


    Fang Chen knew this was the result of overexerting himself.


    ¡°Damn, I won¡¯t dare do that again. Not only would it be harmful to the body, but it would also put me in danger.¡±


    Fang Chen muttered a few words before pushing the door open.


    ¡°Brother Fang Chen, you are embarrassing. You¡¯re still sleeping in at this age.¡± Seeing that Fang Chen was still half asleep, An Xiaojia made a face and teased him.


    Fang Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. There was no way to explain, so he could only admit that he had slept in.


    When they arrived at the hall of the village chief¡¯s house, they saw a large table full of dishes. The most conspicuous ones were two hot roasted chickens. One was placed in front of Old Fang, and the other was placed on the side where the village chief had invited Fang Chen to sit.


    Fang Chen glared at Old Fang. It was obvious that Old Fang had asked the village chief to prepare roasted chicken for him last night. In the end, the village chief had also prepared one for him.


    ¡°Where¡¯s Elder Xu? Is he not back yet?¡± Fang Chen did not see Xu Mianfeng and asked in surprise.


    ¡°No, I asked, and so did An Yongqiang. Elder Xu didn¡¯t come back all night,¡± Old Fang replied quickly.


    ¡°Sir, will Elder Xu be alright?¡± The village chief asked worriedly.


    Fang Chen shook his head and said, ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Elder Xu¡¯s strength is at the top of the world. I think he¡¯s thinking of eliminating the root of the problem and chasing that Demon Sect¡¯s Saintess to her lair. This way, the Xiao An Village won¡¯t have to worry about the Seven Kills Sect coming back.¡±


    To be honest, Fang Chen did not think so himself. However, to the village chief and the others, he could only say what they wanted to hear. Otherwise, they would probably let their imagination run wild.


    ¡°Good, good, good. That¡¯s great. Lord, please sit down. Let¡¯s eat first. When Elder Xu comes back, we¡¯ll cook another meal for him.¡±


    When the village chief heard that it was useless, he became even more polite and respectful to Fang Chen and the others.


    Fang Chen did not think too much about it and could only sit down to eat.


    After breakfast, Fang Chen quickly recovered his True Qi. At noon, he finally recovered completely.


    At this moment, the village chief also told the other villagers the good news that the Seven Kills Sect had been destroyed. Fang Chen and Old Fang instantly became the most popular existences in Xiao An Village.


    Under all kinds of flattery and treatment that was not inferior to the Zhenbei Mansion, Fang Chen and Old Fang waited for Elder Xu for three days, but Elder Xu still did not appear. Of course, the Seven Kills Sect did not appear again.


    ¡°Old Fang, do you think Elder Xu got lost?¡± On the fourth day, after breakfast, Fang Chen asked Old Fang.


    ¡°Young Master, he might have forgotten about us and returned to the sect himself.¡± Instead of comforting Fang Chen, Old Fang gave another bad answer.


    ¡°I¡ª¡±


    When Fang Chen heard this, he felt that Elder Xu would not come back to look for them. After all, with Elder Xu¡¯s strength, he would have returned long ago.


    ¡°If Elder Xu doesn¡¯t come back, how long will we have to wait? Why don¡¯t we go to the Whole Unitary Sect ourselves? Otherwise, I don¡¯t know when I can practice martial arts.¡± Fang Chen was really a little impatient.


    After all, he had to be strong for both things now. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to charge his phone, and the camera function could not be unlocked.


    ¡°No problem with me. I¡¯ll follow wherever the young master goes.¡± Old Fang looked like a bachelor without any opinion. ¡°Alright, we¡¯ll leave after lunch.¡± Fang Chen made up his mind.


    After lunch, Fang Chen and Old Fang bade farewell to the village chief.


    The village chief had no choice but to prepare some rations for Fang Chen and the others. In the end, Fang Chen and Old Fang left the village reluctantly.


    ¡°Young Master, don¡¯t forget that there¡¯s a little wife here in seven or eight years.¡±


    Not long after walking out of An Village, Old Fang could not help but tease.


    Fang Chen glared at Old Fang and turned back to look at Xiao An Village. There was indeed a petite figure at the entrance of the village who refused to leave.


    Feeling helpless, he spurred his horse and rode away from An Village.


    An hour later, Fang Chen and Old Fang were both silent as they looked at the dilapidated scene before them.


    ¡°There must have been some kind of beast attack here, so everyone in the village was scared away. I don¡¯t know what happened in the mountains here, but those beasts actually broke into the village,¡± Old Fang turned his head and sighed.


    ¡°For whatever reason, this has become an irrevocable disaster for the villagers here. It¡¯s possible that the victims of the disaster we encountered along the way were the villagers here. Let¡¯s hope they can settle down elsewhere,¡± Fang Chen said in a low mood.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. If this village is like this, I wonder if the village ahead is fine.¡±


    Old Fang had previously confirmed that there were still two villages on this road where they could rest before nightfall. But now that one had been destroyed and the other was not far away, he was afraid that a disaster had befallen them as well.


    More than half an hour later, they saw the same scene again. Both of them were worriedd.


    ¡°Sigh, although these small mountain villages can stand aloof from worldly affairs here, when they encounter disasters, even the officials are out of their reach. Why bother?¡±


    People like Fang Chen who had transmigrated from the technological era could not understand the hometown of ancient people.


    ¡°Everyone holds their hometown dearly to them. If it weren¡¯t for the fact that their lives are in danger, who would be willing to leave their hometown?¡± At this point, Old Fang¡¯s eyes were filled with nostalgia, as if he had a special feeling about this question.


    ¡°Let¡¯s go. It looks like we¡¯ll have to sleep in the wilderness tonight. There are wild beasts around. We¡¯d better get as far away from here as possible before it gets dark.¡± They quickly composed themselves and set off again. This time, they deliberately sped up, trying to get as far away from the threat of the dire beasts as possible.


    Just like that, the two of them rode their horses and raised their whips. They ran wildly in the forest for the entire afternoon and ran dozens of kilometers. It was almost dark when they saw a dilapidated temple hidden in the forest. Only then did they decide to stop and rest.


    After a rest, they ate and drank. Night fell. Because it was not safe in the wilderness, Fang Chen and Old Fang agreed to keep watch for each other.


    Old Fang quickly fell asleep. Fang Chen was bored and looked at the moonlight outside. In the end, he decided to go to the courtyard of the dilapidated temple to practice his sword to kill time.


    The Three Styles of Breeze could be said to be at Fang Chen¡¯s fingertips now. As he continued to practice this sword technique, Fang Chen even began to have some other understanding of sword techniques.


    ¡°Yo, your sword technique is just like a human. You¡¯re so handsome. I wonder if you can teach me.¡±


    Just as Fang Chen was about to practice his sword and even thought that there would be some changes that he could use other methods, a faint voice was heard.

 Chapter 23 - Demon Fox Bai Qiaoer

    Chapter 23 Demon Fox Bai Qiao¡¯er


    ¡°Who?¡±


    Fang Chen was shocked. He looked at the entrance of the dilapidated temple and saw a beautiful woman in a white dress standing there. She looked like a fairy.


    ¡°Little brother, my name is Bai Qiao¡¯er. I was separated from my family because I was fleeing for my life, so I ended up in the mountains. I just passed by the entrance of the dilapidated temple and happened to see you practicing your sword in the courtyard. I couldn¡¯t help myself and came in.¡± Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s voice seemed to be naturally charming, but her tone was so gentle and lovable.


    ¡°Wow, could this be the legendary luck with women? This beauty¡¯s looks, figure, and temperament are simply every man¡¯s ideal type¡­¡±


    Fang Chen looked at Bai Qiao¡¯er. His heart skipped a beat, but he was instantly jolted awake.


    ¡°F*ck, a beauty suddenly appeared in the wilderness. Is this a demon or spirit?¡±


    During his conversation with Elder Xu over the past few days, Fang Chen also knew that humans were not the only ones cultivating in this world. Some demons were blessed with opportunities and could also cultivate. In the wilderness, demons appeared most frequently.


    Although the human race had prospered in the past hundred years, it was precisely because of this that there was less space for the demons to survive. Therefore, the relationship between the two sides became more and more tense. It was almost to the point of being irreconcilable. Some demons even treated humans as food.


    When he saw a demon in human form, he knew that he was no match for it.


    He was thinking of countermeasures, but there was really no good solution. After all, Elder Xu was not around, so he might as well forget about Old Fang.


    ¡°I¡¯ll risk it. No matter what, I¡¯m still the Crown Prince of the Zhenbei Mansion, the number one profligate in the Northern Blue City. I¡¯m handsome and unrestrained. No matter what, I can¡¯t be eaten as food by the demons¡­¡± ¡°I mustn¡¯t chicken out. I have to do the opposite in order to survive.¡±


    Fang Chen¡¯s mind was unusually clear at this moment. Then, he tried his best to comfort himself.


    ¡°Xu Xian can deal with snakes, Ning Caichen can marry ghosts. There are so many guys who fell in love with a bunch of fox demons. Wasn¡¯t I very envious in the past? Now that there¡¯s such a good opportunity, this Bai Qiao¡¯er doesn¡¯t look bad either. As long as she completely transforms into a human, I can do it too!¡±


    Fang Chen quickly adjusted his mentality. Now, what he had to do was to use his flirting skills to capture Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s heart. This way, not only would he be able to save his life, but he might really be able to become a legend by marrying the demon!


    Fang Chen casually threw the Green Destiny Sword to the ground and took the initiative to approach Bai Qiao¡¯er, grabbing her thin hand.


    ¡°Sister Qiao¡¯er, you¡¯re so beautiful. It¡¯s so dangerous for you to be outside alone. Why don¡¯t you stay here with me tonight? And to tell you the truth, the moment I saw Sister Qiao¡¯er, I fell in love at first sight. If Sister Qiao¡¯er gets separated from her family, let me take care of you, okay?¡±


    Fang Chen had a bright smile on his face, and his eyes were filled with love. His mouth was like honey as he tried his best to hide the fear in his heart.


    As he spoke, Fang Chen hugged Bai Qiao¡¯er and deliberately stroked her fluffy tail.


    Bai Qiao¡¯er was a little dumbfounded.


    She did not really come in here to talk about love, but she had encountered a bottleneck in her transformation. When she saw that someone was here, she thought about the ancient legend that a human heart helped one transform. Therefore, she was here to kill and dig out a heart.


    Yet now, she was in Fang Chen¡¯s arms. Looking at Fang Chen¡¯s handsome face and affectionate gaze, especially when the full moon was just above Fang Chen¡¯s head, the moonlight shone down. At this moment, Fang Chen was like a fairy under the moon. In Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s eyes, he was so handsome and charming.


    ¡°No, in the memories of our ancestors, humans are even more cunning than us demons. He was clearly afraid of me just now, but now he must be pretending to be affectionate to deceive me. Even if such a man is good-looking, I have to decisively dig out his heart¡­¡±


    Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s thoughts flashed past and she quickly warned herself.


    Therefore, when Fang Chen was not paying attention, the hand around his back suddenly turned into sharp claws and was about to dig into his back.


    However, just as Bai Qiao¡¯er was about to attack, she suddenly felt a terrifying gaze lock onto her. She was so frightened that she quickly retracted her hand. However, when she looked around, she did not know where that gaze was.


    However, under that gaze, Bai Qiao¡¯er realized that not only was her demonic power suppressed, but even her body was a little weak. She knew very well that if she dared to act rashly, she would definitely die on the spot.


    Bai Qiao¡¯er had no choice but to hug Fang Chen, pretending to be touched and thinking of a way to escape.


    Bai Qiao¡¯er was scared to death, but Fang Chen was overjoyed. He laughed wildly in his heart.


    ¡°Damn it, so all demonesses are so easily seduced? I just said a few words of love, and she was so charmed that her legs went weak. It seems that the legends of human and demon lovers are true. As long as you¡¯re careful and bold enough, you can even win over a fox demon.¡±


    ¡°Brother Fang Chen, this is so embarrassing. Can you let go of me first?¡±


    Bai Qiao¡¯er knew very well that only by stabilizing Fang Chen would she have a chance of survival, so she turned into her delicate appearance again.


    ¡°Damn it, this demon actually knows how to be shy. Then I have to strike while the iron is hot. In any case, I¡¯ll die as a ghost. I definitely won¡¯t be food.¡±


    With this thought in mind, Fang Chen¡¯s hands wandered around and he said sweetly, ¡°Sister Qiao¡¯er, I like you so much. How can I bear to let you go? Let me hug you for a while more.¡±


    ¡°Brother Fang Chen, don¡¯t be like this. Let¡¯s have a chat first. I especially want to know why you¡¯re here. Also, what sword technique did you dance just now? Why do I feel that it looks quite good, but it¡¯s not that powerful?¡± If Bai Qiao¡¯er had not been threatened by that terrifying gaze, she would have slapped Fang Chen to death. However, she could only feign civility now.


    When Fang Chen heard Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s words, he knew that he could not be too hasty. Otherwise, it might backfire.


    However, Fang Chen instantly thought of how to answer Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s question. Hence, he said, ¡°Sister Qiao¡¯er, I don¡¯t want to be high-profile, but since you asked, I have to answer you honestly.


    I came here because I wanted to go to the top martial arts sect, the Whole Unitary Sect. You don¡¯t know this, but when a third-grade elder first saw me, he said that my form and talent was extraordinary and I had great luck, so he insisted on crying and begging me to go to their sect. I had no choice but to agree.


    Perhaps you think that I¡¯m exaggerating, but you saw me brandishing my sword just now. That¡¯s the most difficult basic sword technique in the world to learn. Even a genius would need a year to learn it, but I can easily learn it with just a glance. Aren¡¯t I amazing?¡±

 Chapter 24 - Demon Spirit Contract

    Chapter 24 Demon Spirit Contract


    Bai Qiao¡¯er wanted to vomit and tear Fang Chen¡¯s mouth apart. However, she could only smile and say, ¡°That¡¯s right, Brother Fang Chen is awesome.¡±


    Suddenly, a thought flashed across Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s mind. Soon, she asked casually, ¡°Brother Fang Chen, since you¡¯re so powerful, you can definitely become a peerless expert in the future. At that time, what do you want to do the most? Do you want to be like others and kill demons to uphold justice?¡±


    ¡°Coming, coming, the question is coming. I have to answer this carefully. Otherwise, if anything goes wrong, this demon will probably eat me up.¡±


    Fang Chen instantly became vigilant, but on the surface, he said with a compassionate expression, ¡°What demon? What justice? In my heart, all things in the world deserve justice. The good and evil of humans and demons do not come from their own image, but from their hearts. If humans do evil, they are inferior to demons. If demons do good, in my eyes, they are more worthy of respect than humans. As the saying goes, the Great Dao is invisible, but only the heart knows it. As long as I keep the peace and justice in my heart, is it really that important to be human, demon?¡±


    Fang Chen felt that he answered so well that he almost believed his own nonsense.


    However, Fang Chen himself did not understand. However, when Bai Qiao¡¯er heard Fang Chen¡¯s words, she felt enlightened and shocked.


    At this moment, Fang Chen¡¯s words were simply admirable and he seemed to be shining in Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s eyes.


    In an instant, Fang Chen was like a beam of divine light that dispelled all the darkness, insidiousness, and bloodiness in Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s heart. She no longer thought that Fang Chen¡¯s previous words were bragging. She even felt that Fang Chen was still hiding too much of his brilliance.


    ¡°All things in the world have justice¡­ If humans do evil, they are inferior to demons. If demons do good, in my eyes, they are more worthy of respect than humans. As the saying goes, the Great Dao is invisible, but only the heart knows it¡­ I understand, I understand!¡±


    Bai Qiao¡¯er muttered in a low voice. She did not realize that a layer of light had appeared on her body, especially between her eyebrows. Soon, a ray of moonlight shot down and connected with the light between Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s eyebrows.


    ¡°Oh my God ¡­¡±


    Fang Chen saw everything. At this moment, Bai Qiao¡¯er did not look like a demon at all. Instead, she looked like a glowing Bodhisattva. She was holy and pure, making one feel relaxed.


    OW


    ¡°This¡­ Why does it look like a legendary epiphany? Could it be that my words just now gave Bai Qiao¡¯er some inspiration?¡± Fang Chen was stunned and in disbelief.


    At this moment, Bai Qiao¡¯er looked at Fang Chen eagerly.


    ¡°Brother Fang Chen, I¡¯m sorry. I lied to you just now. Actually, I am a fox demon and have just transformed. Because I¡¯m still missing a crucial step in my transformation, I wanted to follow the secret technique in my ancient memories and complete the final evolution by eating people¡¯s hearts. But your words just now woke me up. I was wrong. I am also enlightened by your words.¡±


    Bai Qiao¡¯er first apologized sincerely to Fang Chen, explaining her original appearance and intentions. Then, she said leisurely, ¡°Brother Fang Chen, I don¡¯t think I can accompany you tonight. I need to return to my cave abode to enter seclusion to digest what I just understood. I have a feeling that I¡¯ll really succeed in transforming after this seclusion.¡±


    ¡°Congratulations, congratulations. Since you have something important to do, I won¡¯t keep you any longer. Hurry up and go. We¡¯ll meet again if fate allows it.¡± Fang Chen was overjoyed. If he could let Bai Qiao¡¯er leave like this, he would be even happier. After all, Fang Chen still felt a little psychologically disturbed if he had to get in a relationship with a fox demon.


    However, these words sounded even more touching to Bai Qiao¡¯er. After hesitating for a moment, Bai Qiao¡¯er said, ¡°Brother Fang Chen, I wonder if you can give me a drop of your blood. I want to establish a demon spirit contract with you. This way, when I completely transform into a demon spirit, I can quickly find you. You¡¯ve enlightened me this time and given me a new life. I want to use the rest of my life to repay your kindness,¡± Bai Qiao¡¯er said solemnly and affectionately.


    ¡°Ah, could this be the legendary process of declaring a master? If Bai Qiao¡¯er succeeds in her transformation, her strength will definitely be incomparably powerful. It shouldn¡¯t be a problem for her to reach the top three ranks. At that time, if she really sticks to me, wouldn¡¯t that be equivalent to carrying a super bodyguard at all times?¡±


    Fang Chen was so excited that he wanted to take off. However, he knew very well that he had to be calm at this moment and not let Bai Qiao¡¯er see through him. Hence, he nodded and said affectionately, ¡°Sister Qiao¡¯er, I don¡¯t blame you for lying to me. Moreover, I¡¯m very happy that I can enlighten you. However, I can¡¯t stop you from having the opportunity to transform. I¡¯ll give you a drop of blood now. I just hope that after you transform, you can come and find me quickly. Don¡¯t make me miss you so much.¡±


    As he spoke, Fang Chen endured the pain and bit his hand, squeezing out a drop of blood. With a flick of his finger, the drop of blood flew towards Bai Qiao¡¯er.


    ¡°Thank you for your trust, Brother Fang Chen.¡±


    Of course, Bai Qiao¡¯er did not dare to cause any trouble. After all, at this moment, she felt that a terrifying gaze was still locked on her. As long as she dared to harm Fang Chen, she would immediately be beheaded.


    Therefore, after receiving Fang Chen¡¯s blood, Bai Qiao¡¯er pointed it directly between her eyebrows. Soon, the drop of blood seeped into the light between her eyebrows.


    At that moment, the white light between Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s eyebrows turned a little red. In her bright eyes, a blood-colored figure that looked like Fang Chen flashed and quickly disappeared.


    ¡°Shoo¡­¡±


    At the same time, Fang Chen¡¯s heart skipped a beat. He suddenly felt an inexplicable closeness with Bai Qiao¡¯er. He could sense any movement from her without even looking.


    ¡°Sister Qiao¡¯er, we¡­¡±


    Fang Chen looked at Bai Qiao¡¯er in surprise. Although he had long guessed it, it was difficult not to be shocked when something magical really happened to him.


    ¡°Hehe, Brother Fang Chen, from today onwards, Qiao¡¯er is yours. Wait for me to return¡­¡±


    Bai Qiao¡¯er smiled. She was really beautiful. Then, under Fang Chen¡¯s infatuated gaze, she floated away.


    Bang!


    When Bai Qiao¡¯er was far away from the dilapidated temple, the terrifying gaze in the dilapidated temple finally left her. Bai Qiao¡¯er landed heavily on the ground, panting heavily with lingering fear.


    ¡°Oh my god, that gaze was simply too terrifying. I was simply suffocated there. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and went to chat with Brother Fang Chen to divert my attention. I didn¡¯t expect it to be a blessing in disguise and obtain the opportunity to transform¡­¡±


    Bai Qiao¡¯er was glad about what happened tonight. After calming down for a while, she disappeared into the depths of the forest.


    Meanwhile, Fang Chen waited for Bai Qiao¡¯er to leave. He maintained his calm smile and did not dare to retract it. He was afraid that the demon fox would be treacherous and turn around to attack him after she realized that he had been acting all along.


    However, after a long time, his legs were numb and his face was about to cramp. Fang Chen confirmed that Bai Qiao¡¯er had really left before he started moving.


    ¡°Oh my god, I was scared to death. If I wasn¡¯t so smart just now, I would have entered Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s stomach¡­¡±


    Fang Chen felt relieved that he had survived. At the same time, he felt excited and excited about tonight¡¯s magical experience.

 Chapter 25 - White Fox Delivering Wealth

    Chapter 25 White Fox Delivering Wealth


    The next morning, Fang Chen woke up to find Old Fang, who was supposed to be keeping watch for him, sleeping soundly at the side. He did not mind and carried the Green Destiny Sword into the dilapidated temple.


    Just as he was about to practice his swordsmanship, he saw a petite white fox walk in from the entrance. It was about the size of a squirrel, and it was holding an exquisite cloth bag the size of a palm in its mouth, covering most of its body. It was especially cute.


    Fang Chen was surprised, but a special feeling in his heart told him that this was Bai Qiao¡¯er.


    ¡°Qiao¡¯er, can¡¯t you turn into a beauty? Why are you here like this?¡± Fang Chen asked curiously when he saw Bai Qiao¡¯er coming over.


    ¡°Brother Fang Chen, last night was just an illusion. I haven¡¯t transformed yet, but I¡¯ve already comprehended the opportunity to transform last night. I can become a real beauty in at most a year,¡± Bai Qiao¡¯er replied.


    ¡°Alright, aren¡¯t you in seclusion? Why are you¡­¡± Fang Chen pointed at the cloth bag in Bai Qiao¡¯er¡¯s mouth.


    ¡°Brother Fang Chen, I was thinking of parting with you and was a little reluctant. Coincidentally, I have some collected gold and silver treasures in my cave abode, so I came over to give them to you and officially say goodbye to you.¡±


    ne


    Bai Qiao¡¯er appeared on Fang Chen¡¯s wrist in a flash and placed the small cloth bag in his


    palm.


    Only then did Fang Chen realize that he was holding a storage bag. This was a treasure that only a real big shot could have. In the past, he had only seen his father have one. He did not even have one himself. He did not expect Bai Qiao¡¯er to give him one.


    He clenched his fingers and with a thought, he saw the contents of the storage bag.


    It was indeed a gold and silver. With a rough estimate, it should be worth more than 100,000 to 20,000 taels of silver. This was definitely not a small sum for an individual.


    ¡°Qiao¡¯er, this should be all your savings, right? If you give it all to me, what will you do?¡±


    Although Fang Chen was tempted, he could not bear to say it.


    ¡°Brother Fang Chen, I collect these treasures because I like how shiny they are. I don¡¯t know how to spend them. Now that I¡¯m going into seclusion, I can¡¯t see them. I might as well give them to you to make the best use of them,¡± Bai Qiao¡¯er said indifferently.


    ¡°Alright, then I¡¯ll accept your kind intentions.¡±


    Because Fang Chen had a demon contract with Bai Qiao¡¯er, their hearts were connected, so he did not argue.


    ¡°Brother Fang Chen, since the gift has been delivered, I¡¯ll go back and enter seclusion. When I successfully transform, I¡¯ll look for


    you.¡±


    After Bai Qiao¡¯er finished speaking, she jumped onto Fang Chen¡¯s shoulder and licked his face with her little tongue. Then, she disappeared in a few flashes.


    Fang Chen looked at the place where Bai Qiao¡¯er had disappeared for a long time before saying, ¡°As expected, demons have feelings.¡±


    Then, Fang Chen put away the storage bag that Bai Qiao¡¯er had given him before starting to practice his sword.


    He practiced a set of sword techniques until the sun rose. Then he stopped and kicked Old Fang awake. The two of them were on their way again.


    Because they were no longer accompanied by Elder Xu Mianfeng, Fang Chen and Old Fang were much more cautious on this journey. It could be said that they were traveling at night. Although the journey had slowed down, they did not encounter any accidents on the way. They steadily headed towards Southwind Mountain.


    At the same time, in a luxurious and exquisite attic in the imperial palace of the capital of the Great Yan Dynasty, the beautiful and hot Princess Xiangling, Murong Ruo, frowned and was furious after hearing the report from the maidservant beside her.


    ¡°That damn fellow. He clearly said that he would marry me when he grew up, but he actually rejected the marriage proposal and said that he wanted to focus on practicing martial arts? I want to see what kind of martial arts he learned.¡±


    Murong Ruo muttered to herself hatefully, then ordered the maidservant beside her, ¡°Xiaoyu, find out the whereabouts of the Prince of Zhenbei. He¡¯d better not let me catch him, or else¡­ Hmph!¡±


    ¡°Yes, Your Highness. I¡¯ll arrange it now.¡±


    The maidservant, Xiaoyu, responded and turned to leave.


    When she reached the door, her body trembled. She mourned for the Prince of Zhenbei in her heart. After all, the person in front of him was Princess Xiangling, who was known as the little witch. Anyone who made her unhappy would suffer terrifying consequences.


    Similarly, in a continuous mountain range in the southernmost part of the Northern Heavens, a roar echoed through the mountains.


    ¡°Xu Mianfeng, you idiot, what kind of trashy Seven Kills Sect are you chasing after? And don¡¯t you have a brain? In the end, you actually forgot about the Prince of Zhenbei and returned to the sect. Why didn¡¯t you forget about the sect?¡±


    In a room of the Single Return Sect, the sage-like Elder Xu Mianfeng stood upright like a child who had done something wrong. Opposite him, a fat old man pointed at Xu Mianfeng¡¯s nose and kept cursing.


    ¡°Do you know that if something happens to His Highness, that old bastard Fang Tianhuai won¡¯t show any mercy? At that time, how can the Whole Unitary Sect withstand his anger? Do you want the Whole Unitary Sect to perish in our generation?¡±


    ¡°Sect Master, I¡¯ll take responsibility for my own actions. I¡¯ll go look for Prince Fang Chen now. If anything happens to him, I¡¯ll personally go to the Zhenbei Mansion to apologize. I definitely won¡¯t implicate the sect.¡±


    From Xu Mianfeng¡¯s words, it was obvious that the fat old man was the Sect Master of the Whole Unitary Sect, Li Qingyu.


    ¡°Apologize my ass. If Fang Tianhuai was that easy to talk to, I would have chopped you up and sent you to the Zhenbei Mansion. Would I still need to waste my breath on you?¡± Li Qingyu glared at Xu Mianfeng and really regretted letting him pick up Fang Chen.


    Looking at the silent Xu Mianfeng, Li Qingyu wished he could knock him on the head. However, in the end, he said helplessly, ¡°Go to the back of the mountain and reflect on yourself. You¡¯re not allowed to leave the back mountain without my permission.¡±


    ¡°Yes!¡± Xu Mianfeng did not have any objections and turned to leave.


    ¡°Damn it, because of His Highness¡¯ identity, I can¡¯t look for him openly. I can only hope that His Highness is lucky. Otherwise, the Whole Unitary Sect can only move out of the Great Yan Dynasty and avoid Fang Tianhuai¡¯s revenge.¡±


    Li Qingyu could not calm the panic in his heart for a long time.


    At this moment, Sun Feifei, the Saintess of the Demon Sect, who had been chased by Xu Mianfeng for thousands of kilometers, was even more flustered than Li Qingyu.


    She had never dreamed that she would encounter an expert from the Whole Unitary Sect in a remote village in a desolate place like the Northern Heavens.


    What was most speechless was that Xu Mianfeng was like a mad dog. Not only did he chase them all the way to the headquarters of the Seven Kills Sect, but he also destroyed several hidden posts of the Demon Sect.


    ¡°It seems that Fang Chen is really important to the Whole Unitary Sect. Otherwise, he wouldn¡¯t have made Xu Mianfeng so crazy after capturing him. Fortunately, I didn¡¯t kill him at that time. Otherwise, I¡¯m afraid I would have¡­¡± Su Feifei, who had survived the disaster, was both angry and glad.


    Just as many people were talking about Fang Chen, after a month and a half, Fang Chen and Old Fang finally arrived at the foot of Southwind Mountain.


    The two of them let out a long breath and said excitedly, ¡°The Whole Unitary Sect. We¡¯re finally here.¡±


    Indeed, although there were no more accidents along the way, the long journey and the distant mountain road were really torturous, especially for Fang Chen, who was used to living luxuriously in the prince¡¯s residence. This time, he really felt that he could not take it anymore.

 Chapter 26 - The Whole Unitary Sect

    Chapter 26 The Whole Unitary Sect


    The Whole Unitary Sect was on Southwind Mountain, but Southwind Mountain was not a mountain. Instead, it was a continuous mountain range that was no different from other mountain ranges. It was high and steep, with grass and trees and clouds surrounding it. It was far away from the hustle of life.


    Therefore, when Fang Chen and Old Fang arrived at the edge of Southwind Mountain, they realized that they did not know which end of Southwind Mountain the whole Unitary Sect was located at.


    ¡°That¡¯s not right. Father marked this place for me. Why can¡¯t I see the Whole Unitary Sect? Did Father remember wrongly?¡±


    Confused, Fang Chen compared the map to everything he saw.


    ¡°What are you thinking? The King of Zhenbei is a general who leads troops to war. He has a professional habit. The map marks will be very strict. How can there be a mistake?¡± Old Fang was an old man in the mansion, so he directly denied Fang Chen¡¯s guess. ¡°All right, then. Since the place is the right one, I guess we¡¯ll just have to do it the most primitive way.¡±


    Fang Chen was helpless. Then, under Old Fang¡¯s puzzled gaze, he took a deep breath and said to the vast mountain path, ¡°Fang Chen from the Northern Heavens is here to pay my respects to the Whole Unitary Sect. Is Sect Master Qingyu around?¡±


    Old Fang was a little dumbfounded, but his expression quickly turned to admiration.


    Just as Fang Chen¡¯s voice spread into the mountains, he quickly saw a figure stepping through the air and arriving in front of him in a few flashes.


    He first sized up Fang Chen and then looked at Old Fang, who was baring his yellow teeth. Then, he said, ¡°Fang Chen, I¡¯m Li Qingyu. Thank goodness you arrived at the Whole Unitary Sect safely. Otherwise, I would have chopped Xu Mianfeng up.¡±


    Fang Chen had also been staring at Li Qingyu. If not for the fact that he was already at Southwind Mountain and had just seen Li Qingyu walking over, he would not have believed that the Sect Master of the Whole Unitary Sect was actually a rich fatty.


    ¡°Hmph, you still have the cheek to say that? If it weren¡¯t for the fact that I, Old Fang, am experienced and knowledgeable and have always taken care of the crown prince, it would be strange if you could see us. When the time comes, we¡¯ll wait for the King of Zhenbei to come to you with his army to ask for us.¡± Old Fang pursed his lips and muttered disdainfully.


    When Fang Chen thought of Xu Mianfeng, he was also furious. However, when he thought of how he would be practicing martial arts in the Whole Unitary Sect in the future, he pulled Old Fang behind him.


    Then, he said to Li Qingyu apologetically, ¡°Sect Master Li, Old Fang was careless with his words. Please forgive him if he has offended you. I, Fang Chen, will apologize to you on his behalf. Also, I¡¯m send my regards to you on behalf of my father. My father has always said that your martial arts are top-notch and that you are a powerhouse that he admires very much.¡±


    ¡°Nephew, don¡¯t say that. My cultivation is nothing in the Zhenbei Mansion.¡±


    Li Qingyu first waved her hand humbly, then nodded at Old Fang and said, ¡°This time, what happened on the way was indeed Elder Xu¡¯s fault. I¡¯ve already scolded him and asked him to go to the back of the mountain to reflect. I apologize to you again.¡±


    ¡°Sect Master Li, you¡¯re being too serious. I¡¯m about to enter the Whole Unitary Sect. After that, we¡¯ll be family. Since we¡¯re family, there¡¯s no need for us to be polite.¡±


    Fang Chen was like a smart person. Old Fang had already helped him regain his face. Moreover, Xu Mianfeng had also been punished, so they decided to let bygones be bygones.


    Li Qingyu had originally heard of Fang Chen¡¯s reputation and was a little nervous about agreeing to Fang Tianhuai¡¯s request to take him in. However, after this short interaction, Fang Chen¡¯s performance still impressed him.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, that¡¯s right. We¡¯re family. I¡¯ll bring you into the sect now. After we settle this today, you can officially learn martial arts from the sect tomorrow.¡± Li Qingyu smiled gently and led Fang Chen and the others into the Whole Unitary Sect.


    Along the way, Fang Chen realized that the reason why he had not discovered the whole Unitary Sect just now was that he had been confused by the illusion array of the sect protection array. This illusion array was to stop ordinary people who accidentally appeared here.


    After walking past the sect protection array, they saw the entrance of the Whole Unitary Sect. After that, they walked in. There were pavilions and palaces built against the mountain that stretched for several kilometers.


    Along the way, they kept running into people who greeted Li Qingyu. When these people saw that Fang Chen and Old Fang had been personally brought in by the Sect Master, they were all surprised. As soon as they were far away, they began to discuss among themselves.


    As Li Qingyu walked, he introduced everything to Fang Chen.


    There were about 300 to 400 people in the Whole Unitary Sect, which was mainly divided into the inner sect and the outer sect.


    The outer area of the sect was the outer sect. There were residences for disciples, cultivation training grounds, and the support pavilion for receiving the sect¡¯s monthly resources, the Merit Hall for accepting the sect¡¯s missions, the Martial Arts Tower for learning cultivation techniques, and so on¡­


    Further in was the inner sect. The basic layout was no different from the outer sect, but it was superior to the outer sect in all aspects. Therefore, the outer sect disciples racked their brains to squeeze into the inner sect.


    Usually, when new disciples entered the sect, they would undergo a qualification test. Those with good qualifications were all qualified to enter the inner sect directly. As for those with slightly worse qualifications who still wanted to learn in the Whole Unitary Sect, they stayed in the outer sect.


    Fang Chen had learned about these things before.


    He did not pay much attention to it. After all, aptitude only meant that one was born with some advantages. If one really wanted to cultivate to become stronger, other than aptitude, there were also other things like diligence and opportunities.


    If the outer sect disciples worked harder and had better opportunities, their future achievements might not necessarily be lower than those in the inner sect. This was also the key to their advancement to the inner sect.


    ¡°Hey, Sect Master Li, what do you plan to do when my young master comes in?¡± Old Fang asked curiously out of the blue.


    Hearing this topic, Fang Chen also turned to Li Qingyu, interested in his answer.


    ¡°Hehe, Fang Chen is my nephew and was entrusted by the King of Zhenbei. After entering the sect, I will take him in as my disciple and he will directly enter the inner sect. He will first learn the foundation of the Whole Unitary Sect from the elite disciples of the inner sect. I will often guide his cultivation and will definitely give him the best martial arts environment and conditions,¡± Li Qingyu smiled and replied to Old Fang very politely.


    ¡°Yes, not bad. Sect Master Li is quite good at doing things.¡± Old Fang nodded in satisfaction.


    Bang! Fang Chen kicked Old Fang¡¯s leg and said angrily, ¡°Old Fang, don¡¯t be so rude. Who are you to judge Sect Master Li?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m not his disciple. What am I afraid of?¡± Old Fang quickly went to Li Qingyu¡¯s other side and muttered indignantly.


    ¡°I¡­¡± Fang Chen wanted to kick him again, but Li Qingyu stopped him.


    ¡°Fang Chen, I can tell that Old Fang is straightforward. Moreover, he¡¯s telling the truth. He¡¯s not here to acknowledge a master There¡¯s nothing wrong with saying anything. Don¡¯t restrain him too much.¡±


    Although Li Qingyu could not see through Old Fang, he did not want to give him the impression that he was superior.


    vas


    Fang Chen was just putting on a show for Li Qingyu. Since he was given a way out, he naturally did not argue with Old Fang.


    Coincidentally, they also came to the depths at this moment. Li Qingyu brought them directly to the sect¡¯s meeting hall.

 Chapter 27 - Entering the Inner Sect

    Chapter 27 Entering the Inner Sect


    At this moment, there were already six old men sitting at the tea tables on both sides of the hall. When they saw Li Qingyu bring Fang Chen and Old Fang in, they quickly stood up and looked at Li Qingyu. It was obvious that they were asking Li Qingyu about Fang Chen and Old Fang¡¯s identities.


    Li Qingyu nodded at them and introduced them to Fang Chen and Old Fang. ¡°Fang Chen, the people here are all elders of our Whole Unitary Sect. Only the few of us and Elder Xu Mianfeng know your identity.¡±


    Fang Chen hurriedly said politely, ¡°Greetings, elders. In the future, I¡¯ll have to rely on your guidance in the sect.¡±


    ¡°The prince is too polite. As long as the prince needs it, we will definitely try our best to cooperate. We will definitely not neglect it.¡± The elders quickly replied politely. None of them dared to be arrogant.


    After all, the Whole Unitary Sect was under the rule of the Northern Heavens. Even if they were all experts of the sect, strictly speaking, they were still citizens, and Fang Chen was the young master of the Northern Heavens.


    After the elders finished speaking, they did not forget to nod at Old Fang to express their goodwill. It was obvious that they were all experienced individuals. They were all afraid that Old Fang would be an expert arranged by the King of Zhenbei.


    Seeing that both parties had greeted each other, Li Qingyu said to an ordinary-looking and tall old man, ¡°Elder Zuo, Fang Chen has entered the sect. There¡¯s no need for the conventional process of acknowledging him as a master. He will directly become my final disciple and enter the inner sect. Bring him to settle the procedures for entering the sect. Find a small courtyard to accomodate him.¡±


    Then, Li Qingyu said to Fang Chen, ¡°Fang Chen, if you enter the sect, you¡¯ll be different from ordinary disciples. There are many people in the sect. Under the circumstances that your identity can¡¯t be exposed, there will definitely be some people who are dissatisfied with this. Although we¡¯ll try our best to stop trouble for you, if you don¡¯t deal with it in time, you must not be rash. Just leave it to us to deal with.¡±


    After that, Li Qingyu looked at Old Fang and said, ¡°Brother, although our Whole Unitary Sect doesn¡¯t have any rules, we still have to restrain others after all. Therefore, it¡¯s best that you don¡¯t wander around the sect anymore, lest others hurt Fang Chen because of this matter. Please tell Elder Zuo that we¡¯ll make other arrangements.¡±


    Fang Chen and Old Fang both nodded.


    After explaining everything, Fang Chen and Old Fang followed Elder Zuo out of the Central Conference Hall.


    The process for newcomers to enter the sect was nothing more than to register their identities and receive the sect-made clothes and daily necessities. As Elder Zuo walked, he also explained some general knowledge in more detail.


    ¡°Fang Chen, other than giving out two sets of sect clothes when entering the sect, the support pavilion will give out another set every half a year. If it¡¯s accidentally damaged midway, you have to spend money to buy it from the support pavilion. In addition, the Supply Pavilion would distribute cultivation resources on the 15th of every month. The inner sect disciples would also distribute a certain amount of resources according to the cultivation progress. You will understand this in the future.


    The sect missions in the Merit Hall include internal missions and field missions. These missions can earn extra money and obtain sect points in exchange for special cultivation resources¡­¡±


    When Fang Chen and Old Fang entered the small courtyard that the sect had arranged for them, they were very satisfied.


    The small courtyard was located in a small area in the inner sect. Although it was small, it had everything. It was said that this was a benefit that only sect managers could enjoy.


    ¡°Young Master, I like this place. Every day, I can get someone to send fresh vegetables to cook for me. I can also get someone from the dining hall to send food over. I really didn¡¯t expect to come out with Young Master to enjoy life,¡± Old Fang looked around the small courtyard and said in satisfaction.


    ¡°Of course. If you follow me, you won¡¯t be at a disadvantage.¡± Fang Chen was smug. This feeling of being treated specially was really quite good.


    ¡°Alright, Young Master. Let¡¯s rest well today. From tomorrow onwards, as long as Young Master arranges for others to send me good food every day, I¡¯ll accompany Young Master in peace. I want to see Young Master shock the world with my own eyes and become a martial arts expert.¡± Old Fang bared his yellow teeth and chuckled.


    ¡°Hehe, I like what you¡¯re saying. Don¡¯t worry, it¡¯s nothing more than spending some money on the dining hall. I guarantee that you¡¯ll have enough wine and meat every day.¡± Fang Chen smiled happily. He was already looking forward to the martial arts journey that was about to begin.


    After the two of them chose a room to rest, the elders in the sect¡¯s meeting hall dispersed. However, an outer sect elder did not leave directly. He asked Li Qingyu, ¡°Sect Master, if Fang Chen enters the inner sect directly, the inner sect slots will be full. What should we do about Yang He¡¯s promotion to the inner


    sect?¡±


    Li Qingyu said casually, ¡°Fang Chen¡¯s situation is special, so he doesn¡¯t take up a spot in the inner sect. As for Yang He, he¡¯s hardworking, but his talent is still lacking. Let¡¯s talk about advancing to the inner sect when he breaks through to the seventh-grade.¡±


    Liu Qi nodded and understood what the Sect Master meant. Then, he left the meeting hall.


    Li Qingyu did not see everyone disperse. He walked out of the meeting hall and looked towards the north with a complicated expression. He muttered, ¡°Fang Tianhuai, you¡¯ve caused me a lot of trouble¡­¡±


    ¡°Father, what trouble are you talking about? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re talking about your new disciple?¡± Suddenly, a voice was heard behind Li Qingyu.


    Li Qingyu turned around and saw that it was his only daughter, Li Sha. If it was a stranger, they probably would not think that they were biological father and daughter.


    Not only was Li Sha beautiful, but her figure was also slender and graceful. She was a stark contrast to Li Qingyu.


    When he saw her daughter, a smile immediately appeared on Li Qingyu¡¯s face. ¡°Why are you so well-informed? I just took in a disciple and you already know.¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s a must. When I heard the news, I wanted to see who it was that actually obtained Father¡¯s favor and became his disciple. I might even have to personally test his strength,¡± Li Sha replied haughtily.


    ¡°What?¡± Li Qingyu was instantly shocked and hurriedly said, ¡°Shasha, Father is warning you. That disciple of mine has just started practicing martial arts and can¡¯t stand your torture. Also, remember, in the sect, you have to help him as much as possible and build a good relationship with him. After all, he¡¯s Father¡¯s disciple. As his direct senior sister, you have the obligation to take care of him.¡±


    ¡°Father, are you taking too much care of this disciple? Don¡¯t tell me he¡¯s your illegitimate son or something?¡± Li Sha stared at Li Qingyu. This was the first time she had seen her father so nervous about taking care of others.


    Li Qingyu was speechless.


    At the same time, the news that Fang Chen had entered the sect and was personally welcomed by the sect master had spread throughout the sect.


    There were hundreds of people in the whole Unitary Sect, and almost half of them were outer sect disciples. The more people there were, the more gossip there would be. The sect¡¯s big and small matters would first cause waves in the outer sect. At this moment, Fang Chen¡¯s news was the hottest topic among the outer sect disciples.


    Word spread like wildfire. Soon, several versions of Fang Chen¡¯s identity and background appeared in the outer sect. Rumors about the illegitimate son of the sect master, the illegitimate son of an elder, and so on became more and more ridiculous.

 Chapter 28 - Provocation

    Chapter 28 Provocation


    Almost the entire Whole Unitary Sect knew about Fang Chen.


    However, most people were just used to chatting. Though there were some individuals who showed considerable dissatisfaction with Fang Chen¡¯s appearance. Of course, Fang Chen did not know that he was already an influential figure in the Whole Unitary Sect. On the first day he entered the sect, he had been resting in the small courtyard.


    The next morning, Fang Chen woke up when he heard the sect¡¯s morning bell.


    Looking at Old Fang¡¯s house, it was obvious that he was going to sleep until he woke up naturally. He complained in his heart, ¡°I¡¯m going to suffer. Old Fang is enjoying life. Why does it feel like our identities are reversed?¡±


    Still, he had chosen his own path. In order to be strong, he had to go through some hardships.


    They went to eat first. The dining hall was in the middle of the inner and outer sect. All the inner and outer sect disciples ate here.


    As soon as they entered, there were already many disciples present. The inner sect disciples in white brocade robes and the outer sect disciples in green cloth robes were sitting on each side. It could be said that there was a clear distinction between them.


    Fang Chen arranged for someone to deliver food to Old Fang. He found a corner in the inner sect and ate heartily.


    ¡°He is Fang Chen.¡±


    Beside the outer sect disciples, a tall and burly disciple with triangular eyes looked at Fang Chen with a dark expression.


    He was the outer sect¡¯s Eldest Senior Brother, Yang He. He had only entered the sect for a year and had already reached the eighth-grade. His cultivation speed was not inferior to some inner sect disciples, so he had applied to be promoted to the inner sect two days ago. However, the promotion was taken back yesterday.


    Initially, he thought that he was not qualified enough. However, after hearing the news that Fang Chen had directly entered the inner sect today and the analysis of his lackeys, he naturally concluded that Fang Chen had snatched his spot.


    ¡°Damn it, I wonder which bastard said that Fang Chen is the illegitimate son of the sect¡¯s big shot. I asked the support pavilion today. That kid was specially allowed to enter the inner sect because he spent a lot of money.¡±


    ¡°Yes, I heard that too. That kid even brought servants to serve him when he entered. The moment he entered, he stayed in the small courtyard. Is he here to practice martial arts or to enjoy life?¡±


    ¡°Hehe, why would he learn martial arts? He¡¯s already so old, but he only learned the Three Styles of Breeze. Can he learn the exquisite martial arts of our Whole Unitary Sect?¡±


    Someone was discussing Fang Chen at the side. When Yang He heard this, he was amused.


    ¡°Hahaha, brothers, isn¡¯t that Three Styles of Breeze a set of introductory Sword Techniques?¡±


    Yang He glanced at Fang Chen in the distance and laughed.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Eldest Senior. How dare that kid snatch your spot in the inner sect? It¡¯s ridiculous,¡± a young man with a pockmarked face said angrily.


    Yang He nodded and suddenly leaned close to the pockmarked youth¡¯s ear and said, ¡°Liu Hao, your Flowing Cloud Sword Technique is considered to have achieved some success now. Why don¡¯t you teach that Fang Chen a lesson? If you can make him retreat and leave the sect, I¡¯ll help you when I enter the inner sect.¡±


    When Liu Hao heard this, his pockmarked face lit up.


    Yang He¡¯s strength was obvious to all the outer sect disciples. He was also the one with the greatest hope of entering the inner sect. If Liu Hao could please Yang He, it was not a big deal to offend Fang Chen. He immediately nodded and agreed.


    Fang Chen quickly finished his meal. As the classes arranged by the sect would take some time to begin, he wanted to take a walk first. If he could encounter someone cultivating martial arts, he could take a photo with his phone and learn some new skills.


    However, as soon as Fang Chen walked out of the dining hall, he realized that someone was blocking his way.


    ¡°You¡¯re Fang Chen, right? I heard that you¡¯ve learned a set of introductory sword techniques called the Three Styles of Breeze. Do you know that this is a great insult to all of us outer sect disciples?¡± Liu Hao pointed at Fang Chen¡¯s nose and questioned him angrily.


    ¡°Introductory? Really?¡±.


    Fang Chen was speechless. However, thinking about his situation at that time, it seemed that it was not impossible for Fang Ping to teach him the introductory Sword Technique.


    Although Fang Chen was very unhappy with the mockery of others, he could not be bothered to argue with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old brat.


    After the other party finished speaking, Fang Chen walked around Liu Hao and left.


    However, because Fang Chen remained silent. Liu Hao felt that Fang Chen was easy to bully. He grabbed Fang Chen¡¯s arm from behind and mocked, ¡°Fang Chen, if you¡¯re so cowardly, why did you come to the Whole Unitary Sect to practice martial arts? If you have any guts, compete with me. Let me see if you¡¯ve learned all your martial arts at your age.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha¡­¡±


    Their entanglement quickly attracted the attention of many people, and Liu Hao¡¯s words made many people laugh. They were all disdainful of Fang Chen.


    Fang Chen was furious. He did not want to care, but the other party was pushing his luck.


    Even if he only knew the Three Styles of Breeze, with the help of his phone, his Three Styles of Breeze had reached the maximum level. It could be said that it could turn something rotten into something magical, and was even more powerful than some higher-level sword techniques.


    ¡°Okay, little brother. You want to spar, right? Sure. If you lose later, just don¡¯t cry.¡± Fang Chen agreed to Liu Hao¡¯s provocation.


    ¡°Hehe, you? If I lose to you, I, Liu Hao, won¡¯t be able to survive in the Whole Unitary Sect anymore,¡± Liu Hao sneered, his face cruel. ¡°Wow, this Liu Hao is one of the top ten outer sect disciples in our batch. Although he¡¯s only at the ninth-grade, his Flowing Cloud Sword Technique is well-practiced. Isn¡¯t Fang Chen embarrassing himself by competing with Liu Hao?¡±


    Liu Hao was not an ordinary person among the outer sect disciples. As soon as the news of him competing with Fang Chen was released, Fang Chen was instantly booed. It was obvious that everyone thought that Fang Chen would definitely lose.


    Surrounded by a group of people, Fang Chen and Liu Hao quickly arrived at a training ground not far from the dining hall.


    As soon as the two of them stood still, Liu Hao could not wait to attack Fang Chen. He knew that as long as he could torture Fang Chen out of the sect, Yang He would definitely be extremely grateful.


    Then, Fang Chen looked at Liu Hao¡¯s aggressive sword and did not panic at all.


    ¡°Sigh, is there something wrong with this Liu Hao¡¯s brain? This move of his is not even as good as the move Fang Ping used when I just learned the Three Styles of Breeze. How dare he provoke me?¡±


    Fang Chen stared intently at the charging Liu Hao, his heart at peace. Then, just as the tip of Liu Hao¡¯s sword was within a foot of him, he suddenly lowered his body and turned to the side, dodging Liu Hao¡¯s sword. Then, he swept his sword horizontally.


    Swoosh!


    A breeze blew on Fang Chen¡¯s sword, but it swept past Liu Hao¡¯s waist without a trace, and then he retreated.


    ¡°Fang Chen, why are you running? If you have the guts¡­¡±


    Liu Hao¡¯s first strike missed. Enraged, he roared and charged at Fang Chen again.


    However, at this moment, he first felt something tighten under his feet, as if something had fastened them. Then, he heard many people pointing at him and laughing.


    Liu Hao looked down and saw that his belt had broken into two pieces and fallen to the ground. His pants had actually fallen to his knees and stopped him from moving forward.

 Chapter 29 - Sneak Attack

    Chapter 29 Sneak Attack


    Liu Hao was dumbfounded.


    Didn¡¯t Fang Chen only know a set of introductory Sword Techniques? What was going on just now? His pants were lifted in one move? If this was a life and death battle, wouldn¡¯t he have been cut in half just now?


    Was the introductory Sword Technique that strong?


    Not only Liu Hao, but the surrounding people were also shocked. They all wondered if Fang Chen had really used the Three Styles of Breeze.


    ¡°Fang Chen was still at the ninth rank just now and defeated Liu Hao with one strike. Could it be that the introductory Three Styles of Breeze is stronger than our Unity Sect¡¯s Flowing Cloud Sword Technique?¡±


    ¡°Impossible. It must be because Liu Hao was careless, and Fang Chen¡¯s realm is clearly higher, so he was lucky to win.¡± ¡°Yes, yes, yes. It must be a coincidence. It¡¯s a pity that Fang Chen broke through. Otherwise, if he were to compete with Liu Hao again, Liu Hao would definitely win.¡±


    Obviously, no one felt that Fang Chen¡¯s victory was natural.


    Fang Chen, who had won with one move, did not care about Liu Hao and the others¡¯ reactions. This was because he realized that he had actually broken through to the eighth-grade after going against Liu Hao.


    ¡°Aiya, Little Brother Liu Hao, from our casual spar, I actually broke through to the eighth-grade. You¡¯re really my lucky star. Thank you!¡± said Fang Chen happily. Liu Hao immediately felt ashamed. He pulled up his pants, turned around, and fled. Yang He was furious. He did not expect that not only did he not teach Fang Chen a lesson, but he even helped him break through to the eighth-grade.


    ¡°Fang Chen, what are you so proud of? It¡¯s just that your realm is higher than Liu Hao¡¯s, so you were lucky to win. If you have the guts, compete with me. If you lose, I¡¯ll still say the same thing. Get out of the Unifying Sect,¡± said Yang He angrily after he pulled Liu Hao out and stood in front of Fang Chen.


    When Fang Chen saw the triangular-eyed Yang He, he also did not take him seriously. After all, he was only at the ninth-grade, yet he could make the fifth-grade Fang Ping feel pressure. These outer sect brats from the Whole Unitary Sect were all trash.


    Just as he was about to agree to Yang He¡¯s request, a slender figure stood in front of him and scolded him, ¡°Hey, Yang He, are you shameless? You¡¯ve already reached the eighth-grade, but Fang Chen has just broken through. How dare you challenge him? If you have the guts, why don¡¯t you compete with


    me?¡±


    When they saw who it was, not only Yang He, but everyone present was shocked.


    ¡°Senior Li Sha, why is she here? Didn¡¯t you say that she was training outside the sect? When did she return?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m afraid Yang He and Fang Chen won¡¯t fight anymore. After all, Senior Li Sha is famous for being honest and kind. She definitely won¡¯t let Yang He bully Fang Chen.¡±


    ¡°Senior Li Sha is still so beautiful. If I can obtain her favor, it¡¯s simply¡­¡±


    When Li Sha appeared, some people¡¯s eyes burned with passion, some looked wary, and some looked envious and jealous. However, no one took the initiative to greet her. It was obvious that this daughter of the sect master was absolutely unattainable in everyone¡¯s hearts.


    ¡°Senior Li Sha is actually Sect Master Li¡¯s daughter. Is this a joke? She doesn¡¯t look like her at all. Moreover, it¡¯s not just her appearance and figure. Even the first impression she gives is completely different. Sect Master Li is like a shrewd businessman, but Senior Li Sha is like an upright heroine¡­¡±


    Fang Chen heard the discussions around him and looked at Li Sha¡¯s back in surprise. Strange thoughts surged in his heart.


    However, Yang He¡¯s face darkened. He did not expect Li Sha to stand up for Fang Chen.


    Of course Yang He would not even think about competing with Li Sha.


    Even if he could win, he would not dare to attack.


    However, he was really unwilling to give up on dealing with Fang Chen. ¡°Senior Li Sha, the sect doesn¡¯t prohibit friendly competitions between disciples. I know my limits and am not your match. If Fang Chen says that he¡¯s afraid of losing to me, then I can choose not to compete with him. There shouldn¡¯t be a problem, right?¡± Yang He boldly responded to Li Sha.


    Li Sha frowned. What Yang He said was indeed reasonable, but her father had instructed her to protect Fang Chen. Moreover, she could tell at a glance that Yang He was relying on his seniority to bully Fang Chen. She did not want to see such a thing happen.


    Therefore, as long as Li Sha was around, Yang He could not deal with Fang Chen today. ¡°Yang He, if I didn¡¯t see it, you can do whatever you want as long as you¡¯re within the rules of the sect. However, I bumped into you today, so you can¡¯t.¡±


    Li Sha¡¯s attitude was firm, not giving Yang He a chance at all.


    Yang He was also a little depressed that he had encountered Li Sha. He knew that Li Sha was like this, but he was really unwilling to give up on dealing with Fang Chen. After all, after today, Fang Chen would truly be integrated into the inner sect. It was a huge taboo for an outer sect disciple like him to attack an inner sect disciple. It would easily cause an overall conflict between the inner and outer sect disciples.


    ¡°Fang Chen, are you still a man? What¡¯s the point of hiding behind a woman? Do you want the entire sect to call you a gigolo and rely on a woman?¡± Yang He began to provoke Fang Chen.


    Fang Chen¡¯s eyes narrowed. He wanted to beat Yang He up.


    However, Li Sha was here and she had good intentions. He had to give her face. Besides, if he made a move now, others would say that he was brainless.


    Hence, a head popped out from beside Li Sha and said to Yang He in disdain, ¡°Triangular-eyed, I am handsome. I can¡¯t help it if a beauty insists on protecting me. An ugly person like you is destined not to receive such treatment. Hurry up and get lost. Otherwise, your pride will be hurt.¡±


    Yang He was angered to death by Fang Chen¡¯s words, but Li Sha stood in front of him, and Fang Chen did not take the bait to fight him. He could not do anything to Fang Chen, and he gritted his teeth in anger.


    ¡°Hey, are you angry? I like how you can¡¯t stand me and can¡¯t get rid of me. Your pain is my greatest joy!¡± Fang Chen said angrily.


    ¡°Fang Chen, can you stop talking? We¡¯re all from the same sect and have to work hard for the sect¡¯s prosperity, but why are you so calculative about your own sect? If we¡¯re all like you, the sect will be in chaos.¡±


    Seeing that Yang He had stopped talking, Li Sha immediately turned around and lectured Fang Chen.


    ¡°Senior Li Sha, I especially hope that my fellow disciples will help each other. After all, I¡¯m just a newbie who has just entered the sect. However, some ugly people just have to cause trouble. They¡¯re useless and want to disgust others to make their presence known. In my opinion, Senior Li Sha should eliminate the root cause of the problem. You should directly chase this black sheep out of our sect so that he won¡¯t lead the sect astray,¡± Fang Chen spoke righteously as if he was the embodiment of justice.


    Li Sha looked at Fang Chen speechlessly. She had to admit that Fang Chen was good-looking.


    However, Fang Chen¡¯s mouth was too unforgiving. He had just broken through to the eighth-grade at such an old age. No matter how handsome he was, he was just an embroidered pillow in her eyes.

 Chapter 30 - Guan Ruoshan

    Chapter 30 Guan Ruoshan


    Li Sha even wanted to ask her Sect Master¡¯s father how Fang Chen could become the Sect Master¡¯s last disciple.


    Just as he was about to educate Fang Chen again, Yang He heard Fang Chen actually instigating Li Sha to expel him from the sect. The anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed.


    Unable to bear it anymore, Yang He walked around Li Sha and stabbed Fang Chen without hesitation.


    ¡°What? Is Yang He crazy?¡±


    Many people noticed Yang He¡¯s attack. It was a sneak attack


    In everyone¡¯s opinion, even if they fought head-on, Fang Chen had no chance of winning against Yang He. Now that Yang He had launched a sneak attack, Fang Chen would definitely not be able to dodge this attack.


    Li Sha was also stunned by this scene. She did not have a chance to stop him even if she wanted to.


    However, just as everyone was trembling in fear, Fang Chen¡¯s white inner sect brocade robe suddenly moved without any wind. Li Sha, who was at the side, instantly felt a breeze appear from Fang Chen¡¯s body. It was clear and cold, but there was a sharpness to it.


    Then, the sword in Fang Chen¡¯s hand rushed towards Yang He¡¯s wrist like a dragon in the wind.


    ¡°Slap.¡±


    The tip of the sword first tapped Yang He¡¯s wrist, and Yang He¡¯s half of his sleeve turned into pieces that fluttered in the breeze like butterflies.


    Yang He¡¯s hand hurt, and the sword in his hand instantly felt more than a thousand pounds. He could no longer hold it and it fell from his hand.


    Clang!


    Yang He¡¯s sword hit the ground, and the crisp sound of metal clashing echoed in everyone¡¯s ears. However, no one looked at him. This was because Fang Chen¡¯s sword did not stop. It slid up Yang He¡¯s arm like a raging wave that pushed everything aside. The wind was still strong, and Yang He¡¯s entire sleeve began to split. Amidst the fluttering green butterfly-like steps, Fang Chen¡¯s sword was placed on Yang He¡¯s neck. A light breeze swept across Yang He¡¯s neck, and traces of blood appeared. In an instant, Yang He¡¯s clothes were torn and tattered and he looked disheveled like a prisoner.


    Yang He¡¯s anger stopped abruptly. Feeling the coldness on Fang Chen¡¯s sword, his legs trembled and his face turned pale.


    ¡°You should be glad that we¡¯re a sect. Otherwise, on this day next year will be your death anniversary. Get lost,¡± Fang Chen said coldly. He slapped Yang He¡¯s face with his sword and sent him flying to the side.


    Yang He felt the pain on his face and felt ashamed of himself. He quickly staggered away.


    This scene stunned everyone around. Even Li Sha¡¯s eyes widened and her mouth could not close for a long time.


    ¡°How strange. I clearly know the Three Styles of Breeze, and Fang Chen used the Three Styles of Breeze. Why is his moves so powerful?¡±


    ¡°That¡¯s right. Yang He is already at the eighth-grade and he learnt the sect¡¯s Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. Its power is not something the Three Styles of Breeze can compare to. However, Yang He¡¯s sneak attack was not Fang Chen¡¯s match. Am I dreaming?¡±


    ¡°Fang Chen¡¯s sword moves clearly only look good, just like a geisha dancing with a sword. But why is his power so terrifying? Isn¡¯t this too unbelievable?¡±


    The eyes of the people who witnessed this battle were filled with shock and disbelief. Whether it was the strength displayed by Fang Chen or his sword technique, it was really too unexpected.


    Instantly, everyone had a feeling that Fang Chen was definitely not as incompetent as the rumors said.


    Li Sha¡¯s face was burning. She had just said that Fang Chen was good-looking but useless. But now, Fang Chen¡¯s performance was like a loud slap to her face.


    ¡°How strong is this Fang Chen? Why do I feel like I can¡¯t see him clearly? Even I couldn¡¯t have dealt with Yang He¡¯s move so easily. Is this his strength or luck?¡±


    ¡°Could it be that Father took him in as his last disciple because he knew his background? I have to ask Father about it. Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing to come out and protect him like this.¡±


    Li Sha did not even dare to look at Fang Chen, feeling extremely embarrassed. However, Fang Chen glanced around before looking at Li Sha, who was blushing.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why is Senior Li Sha¡¯s face so red? Could it be that she¡¯s attracted by my peerless charm and is blushing? She can¡¯t be so shallow, right?¡±


    Fang Chen felt strange. However, among so many sect disciples, Fang Chen was still very touched that the only one who stood up to help him.


    Moreover, from what the others had said, perhaps Li Sha had always been an upright person. It was rare for someone of her status to be so helpful. Therefore, Fang Chen had a good impression of her.


    ¡°Senior Li Sha, thank you for helping me just now. I, Fang Chen, will remember it,¡± Fang Chen said sincerely.


    ¡°No, nothing. I just don¡¯t want our fellow disciples to hurt each other. And even without me, you won¡¯t be at a disadvantage, so you don¡¯t have to take this to heart. I have something to do, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡±


    Li Sha did not even know what she had said. In any case, she felt especially afraid of facing Fang Chen at that moment. Her face was burning and her heart was beating wildly. She could not control herself.


    ¡°What¡¯s going on? Why does it feel like Senior Lisha doesn¡¯t even want to look at me? Do I look bad?¡±


    Fang Chen looked at Li Sha, who was fleeing, and was a little confused.


    Yang He¡¯s face hurt and he felt even more humiliated.


    ¡°Damn Fang Chen. Isn¡¯t it just because he¡¯s a few years older than me that he can defeat me? I can reach the eighth-grade in a year and am stronger than him. I don¡¯t need to become an adult at all. However, I¡¯m very vengeful. I don¡¯t have the patience to wait until later¡­¡±


    Yang He covered his face and went straight to the inner sect.


    ¡°Inner sect, right? I happen to know Senior Guan Ruoshan. I¡¯ve helped him a lot this year.


    Originally, I wanted him to take care of me after I entered the inner sect this month. But now, if Fang Chen isn¡¯t eliminated, I won¡¯t even be able to enter the inner sect.¡±


    Soon, Yang He saw Guan Ruoshan. Looking at the dignified Guan Ruoshan, Yang He instantly felt confident.


    ¡°Senior Guan, I finally met you. You have to help me!¡± Yang He pointed at the swollen sword mark on his face and cried miserably to Guan Ruoshan.


    Guan Ruoshan obviously did not know about Yang He and Fang Chen. When he saw Yang He¡¯s expression, although he did not care, he still had to show some concern as Yang He was useful at times.


    ¡°Yang He, what¡¯s going on? Who did you fight with?¡± Guan Ruoshan asked in confusion.


    ¡°Senior Guan, as you know, I¡¯ve been applying to enter the inner sect recently, but Fang Chen, who got in through the back door, directly snatched my spot. I just argued with him and suffered a loss,¡± said Yang He bitterly.

 Chapter 31 - Returning to Whole Unitary Condensation Technique

    Chapter 31 Returning to Whole Unitary Condensation Technique


    ¡°Fang Chen?¡±


    Guan Ruoshan¡¯s eyes narrowed.


    ¡°Enemies really meet on a narrow road. Speaking of which, I saw the small courtyard that Fang Chen has occupied first. I originally wanted to apply for it after my skills improved a little, but he beat me to it.


    I didn¡¯t expect Fang Chen to go against Yang He now. Originally, Yang He was just a dog to me and I couldn¡¯t be bothered with his nonsense. But now that he happens to be my enemy, I have to interfere.¡±


    Guan Ruoshan looked at Yang He in confusion.


    ¡°Yang He, I¡¯ve also heard about that Fang Chen. Isn¡¯t he just a piece of trash who got in through the back door? With your strength, how can you suffer under him?¡±


    Guan Ruoshan knew Yang He¡¯s strength and had heard some rumors about Fang Chen. He could not help but be curious.


    Yang He¡¯s face darkened and he quickly told Guan Ruoshan everything that had just happened.


    ¡°What? Li Sha came forward to defend him?¡±


    Guan Ruoshan did not care about anything else, but he was very afraid of Li Sha, the daughter of the Sect Master.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Senior Guan. If not for Senior Li Sha, I would have embarrassed him today. Unfortunately, I missed the opportunity today. I¡¯m afraid he won¡¯t care about my provocation next time, so I want Senior Guan to teach him a lesson and make him unable to stay in the inner sect,¡± said Yang He bitterly. At first, when he was defeated by Fang Chen, he was also stunned. However, later on, he felt that there was nothing wrong with him at all. It was because there was a problem with his temperament that he lost.


    However, despite his thoughts, he was not 100% confident. That was why he came to ask for help


    However, Guan Rushan was also depressed.


    ¡°We¡¯re both in the inner sect. It¡¯s easy for me to deal with Fang Chen, but it¡¯s a little troublesome for Li Sha to protect him. After all, I can¡¯t not give Li Sha face.¡±


    Guan Ruoshan¡¯s expression was ugly.


    Yang He also looked bitter. He knew that even if Guan Ruoshan had some status in the inner sect, he was still incomparable to the Sect Master¡¯s daughter, Li Sha.


    However, Yang He really did not want to let Fang Chen off, so he began to think hard. Suddenly, he had an idea and said to Guan Ruoshan excitedly, ¡°Senior Guan, it seems that the sect competition will be held in a month, right? At that time, if you put in a little effort, won¡¯t Fang Chen be finished?¡±


    Guan Ruoshan¡¯s eyes lit up and he said in surprise, ¡°That¡¯s right. Li Sha can¡¯t do anything about the sect competition even if she wants to. It¡¯s easy to deal with Fang Chen.¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Senior Guan is wise. When the time comes, I¡¯ll rely on Senior Guan to stand up for me. As long as that Fang Chen gets out of the Whole Unitary Sect, my promotion to the inner sect will definitely be set in stone. At that time, I, Yang He, will still follow Senior Guan¡¯s lead,¡± Yang He quickly flattered him.


    ¡°That¡¯s easy. Junior Brother Yang He is my brother. How can he be bullied by others? Don¡¯t worry, leave this matter to me.¡±


    Guan Ruoshan was secretly delighted. This was his intention to deal with Fang Chen, but now he could help Yang He take revenge. It was killing two birds with one stone. The heavens were helping him.


    Fang Chen had long forgotten about Yang He. At this moment, he was sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion in a hall like a few new inner sect disciples, listening to the cultivation technique lessons of the sect¡¯s instructor.


    ¡°¡­ Therefore, the lower three ranks can be achieved with the help of some external skills. However, from the middle three ranks to the upper three ranks, only by using internal cultivation methods can one establish a good foundation and cultivate quickly.


    Therefore, next, I¡¯m going to teach everyone our sect¡¯s internal cultivation technique, the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique. Everyone must listen carefully, memorize it seriously, and think carefully¡­¡±


    When Fang Chen heard this, he grabbed his phone and felt excited. After waiting for so long, he was finally going to start his martial arts journey completely. ¡°Coming, coming. With my phone, I will be able to master the cultivation technique. Hurry, hurry, hurry. My phone is already thirsty.¡±


    Jiang Mingtao, the instructor, opened a piece of cloth and hung it up. On the cloth was a large piece of obscure text, and the words at the top were the ¡°Whole Unitary Condensation Technique¡±.


    Snap!


    Without hesitation, Fang Chen raised his phone and took a photo of the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique.


    ¡°Ding! Detected a Yellow Rank Advanced cultivation technique, the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique. Do you want to spend 100 taels to learn it?¡±


    A notification popped up on his phone. Fang Chen immediately chose yes.


    The 100 taels disappeared silently, and the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique was imprinted in Fang Chen¡¯s mind.


    Just as Fang Chen was feeling happy, a heard a shout beside him, ¡°Instructor Jiang, Fang Chen was looking at himself in the mirror during class.¡±


    Fang Chen¡¯s face darkened as he turned to look to his right.


    Wang Jianan was also a disciple who had just entered the inner sect. He looked like a black monkey.


    In the morning, Fang Chen had just arrived at the Teaching Hall. The little beauty who Wang Jianan had wanted to curry favor with took the initiative to befriend the handsome Fang Chen. This infuriated Wang Jianan.


    Wang Jianan stepped forward to warn Fang Chen, but Fang Chen ignored him. After all, in Fang Chen¡¯s eyes, be it that little beauty, Dong Yue, or the black monkey, Wang Jianan, they were all brats. Did he have nothing better to do than to be jealous of them?


    However, Fang Chen had never dreamed that Wang Jianan would be so immoral as to report him to the instructor.


    ¡°Wang Jianan? Are you crazy?¡± Fang Chen said angrily.


    However, Wang Jianan had a smug expression on his face as he pointed at Instructor Jiang Mingtao.


    Fang Chen looked over guiltily and saw Instructor Jiang frowning at him.


    ¡°Fang Chen, are you here to learn cultivation techniques or to look in the mirror? Or can you remember cultivation techniques by looking in the mirror?¡± Instructor Jiang said interrogatively.


    ¡°Um¡­ Instructor Jiang, I have my reasons for looking in the mirror. I definitely didn¡¯t mean to profane your sacred classroom!¡± Fang Chen looked aggrieved.


    Instructor Jiang was infuriated. He asked angrily, ¡°Alright, Fang Chen, then I want to hear what reasons you have. If you can¡¯t convince me, no matter who is backing you up, get out of my class.¡±


    ¡°Um¡­ Instructor Jiang, because I have a habit since I was young. I have to look in the mirror and see my handsome face to be filled with confidence. With confidence, I can focus more on my studies and won¡¯t forget anything I learnt,¡± Fang Chen said seriously.


    ¡°Teacher, I think Fang Chen is crazy. I think learning with someone like him will lower everyone¡¯s IQ,¡± Wang Jianan felt like vomiting when he heard that and hurriedly shouted.


    Jiang Mingtao also felt that Fang Chen was insulting his intelligence. He said coldly to Fang Chen, ¡°Fang Chen, do you think everyone here is a fool? You said that you can remember everything after you look in the mirror, right? Then come on stage now and silently write down the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique for me. If you can write it, you can look at yourself in the mirror in my class in the future. If you can¡¯t, I¡¯ll still say the same thing. Get out of my class.¡±


    ¡°Instructor Jiang is wise.¡± Wang Jianan quickly flattered him. Then, he looked at Fang Chen mockingly and whispered softly so that only the two of them could hear, ¡°Fang Chen, what¡¯s the use of being handsome? What you need is brains. I can play you to death.¡±

 Chapter 32 - Showdown, No More Acting

    Chapter 32 Showdown, No More Acting


    ¡°Idiot,¡± Fang Chen scolded Wang Jianan indifferently and stood up. He walked to Jiang Mingtao and said, ¡°Instructor Jiang, to be honest, I only wanted to study as an ordinary student, but since you guys are doubting me, I can only lay my cards on the table and stop pretending.¡±


    ¡°Give me a pen and paper. I¡¯ll write out the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique now and let you see how geniuses make ordinary people despair.¡±


    Fang Chen¡¯s words echoed throughout the entire Teaching Hall. Jiang Mingtao and all the disciples were dumbfounded.


    They had seen people pretending, but they had never seen Fang Chen really pretending.


    ¡°Alright, I really want to see if you¡¯re a genius or if there¡¯s something wrong with your brain according to Wang Jianan.¡±


    This time, Jiang Mingtao was really angry. He put away the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique that he had just hung up and took out a pen and paper for Fang Chen.


    Fang Chen took the pen and paper and looked at the desk beside Jiang Mingtao. ¡°Instructor Jiang, why don¡¯t we change seats first? I¡¯ll write faster on your desk.¡±


    ¡°Good. Very good. You¡¯re the bravest student I¡¯ve ever had. I¡¯ll give you what you want today. I¡¯ll go to your seat and wait for you to write a miracle.¡± Jiang Mingtao gritted his teeth. Anyone could feel his suppressed anger.


    ¡°Thank you, Instructor Jiang. I¡¯ll take it.¡±


    Fang Chen ignored Jiang Mingtao and sat at the desk. He began to write without stopping.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, a lousy student like Fang Chen is simply hopeless. Even now, he¡¯s still pretending. If he can take one look at the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique and write it out entirely. I¡¯ll even eat the words he wrote.¡±


    When Wang Jianan saw Jiang Mingtao, who was sitting beside him as if a volcano was about to erupt, he added fuel to the fire.


    Jiang Mingtao said nothing but his expression turned even uglier.


    ¡°Isn¡¯t Brother Fang Chen too impulsive? If he can¡¯t attend class with us, there won¡¯t even be a good-looking boy here. It will be too painful for us to attend class in the future.¡±


    Dong Yue, who was initially fawned over by Wang Jianan, looked at Fang Chen and then at Jiang Mingtao with a worried expression.


    ¡°Hmph, isn¡¯t it just being handsome? Being handsome can¡¯t increase one¡¯s martial arts talent. This Fang Chen is already so old, yet he¡¯s still so frivolous. He¡¯s destined to not have any achievements in the future. I, Lin Xiaoyu, don¡¯t fancy such a vase.¡±


    Lin Xiaoyu, the assistant teacher sitting in the front row, was an inner sect senior who had accepted a sect mission to assist Jiang Mingtao and explain the key points of the cultivation technique to the new disciples. At this moment, she looked at Fang Chen with an arrogant expression, her eyes filled with mockery.


    Other than them, most of the other new disciples were looking at Fang Chen with gloating expressions. Clearly, they wanted to see him embarrass himself.


    Time passed unknowingly. Just as Jiang Mingtao was about to throw Fang Chen out, Fang Chen threw the pen to the side of the desk and stood up.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, I¡¯ve finished writing. I feel a little sorry for disturbing the class, so I made notes on the key points of the cultivation technique,¡± said Fang Chen as he pointed to a piece of paper on the table.


    ¡°Keep bragging!¡± Wang Jianan stood up on the spot and confronted Fang Chen.


    Jiang Mingtao stared at Fang Chen. He could not tell that Fang Chen was joking at all. He quickly stood up and strode to the desk where Fang Chen was writing.


    ¡°How¡­ how is that possible?¡±


    Soon, Jiang Mingtao took three steps back and pointed at what Fang Chen had written with a shocked expression.


    ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Instructor Jiang¡­¡±


    In the front row, Lin Xiaoyu was very puzzled by Jiang Mingtao¡¯s reaction. She stood up curiously and looked at the desk.


    In an instant, Lin Xiaoyu was dumbfounded.


    When the people sitting below saw their reactions, they were all shocked. If not for the fact that they were only new disciples, they would have wanted to see what Fang Chen had written.


    Only Wang Jianan was restless. He stood up and wanted to see what Fang Chen had written on the upper desk, but it was too far away for him to see.


    ¡°Just now, I think I heard someone say that as long as I silently write out the whole Unitary Condensation Technique, he will eat everything I write. Instructor Jiang, I wonder if I¡¯ve successfully memorized it?¡± Fang Chen glanced at Wang Jianan and asked Jiang Mingtao.


    ¡°Yes, too much. Fang Chen, I want to apologize for doubting you before. From today onwards, you can look at yourself in any mirror in my class,¡± Jiang Mingtao nodded heavily and said affirmatively.


    ¡°What?¡±


    Hearing Jiang Mingtao¡¯s words, everyone in the Teaching Hall gasped.


    Dong Yue, who already had a good impression of Fang Chen, looked at him eagerly.


    ¡°Fang Chen actually wrote the ¡®Return to One Whole Unitary Condensation Technique¡¯ silently? How is that possible? How can a photographic memory exist in reality?¡±


    Many still looked unconvinced.


    Jiang Mingtao saw the others¡¯ doubtful expressions and shook his head with a sigh. He really did not want to deal a blow to the other students, but Fang Chen was here. He could only blame the others for sitting in the same teaching hall as Fang Chen. This blow was inevitable. It was better to let them accept reality as soon as possible.


    ¡°I know that everyone might not believe me. Actually, I¡¯m also very shocked, but Fang Chen¡¯s talent is really not something that ordinary people can understand.¡± After Jiang Mingtao said that, he hung up the cloth with the words ¡®Whole Unitary Condensation Technique¡¯ on it again.


    ¡°Lin Xiaoyu, show everyone what Fang Chen wrote. Also, Wang Jianan just now, as martial artists, we have to be responsible for our words. Since you said that you will eat what Fang Chen wrote if he can memorise the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique. I hope you can keep your promise. If you can¡¯t, you can leave my class. I don¡¯t like disciples who don¡¯t take responsibility.¡±


    At this moment, Lin Xiaoyu¡¯s impression of Fang Chen had changed greatly. However, she still did not think that Fang Chen was very powerful. After all, it was useless to just remember the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique. The most important thing was to be able to use it to cultivate and increase his strength.


    Therefore, after a short moment of shock, Lin Xiaoyu still did not feel anything for Fang Chen. She grabbed the ¡°Whole Unitary Condensation Techniques and annotations written by Fang Chen and took turns to show them to the disciples.


    ¡°I have to say that this Fang Chen is quite capable. These annotations have actually summarized the main points. The explanation is easy to understand. If he were to study, his achievements might be very great. He might even become a saint.¡±


    As Lin Xiaoyu showed it to her disciple, she also read Fang Chen¡¯s notes.


    Soon, Lin Xiaoyu arrived in front of Wang Jianan and teased, ¡°Junior Wang, take a closer look at what Fang Chen wrote. After confirming it, eat it. Who knows, if you eat it, you might be able to benefit from it and remember the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha¡­¡±


    Hearing Lin Xiaoyu¡¯s voice, everyone in the Teaching Hall burst into laughter. The slightly awkward classroom suddenly became lively.

 Chapter 33 - A Monster

    Chapter 33 A Monster


    Wang Jianan felt extremely humiliated, but in order to continue staying in class, he could only look at Fang Chen hatefully and eat a large piece of paper filled with cultivation technique notes.


    ¡°Brother Fang Chen, I admire you so much. You¡¯re handsome and so smart. You¡¯re simply a role model for all of us,¡± Dong Yue shouted without hiding anything.


    Many people were impressed.


    ¡°Hehe, it¡¯s all basic. Don¡¯t be infatuated with me. My abilities are a legend.¡±


    Fang Chen looked at the resentful Wang Jianan and then at the agitated Dong Yue.


    The disciples below the stage felt like they were going to die from anger, but in terms of memory, Fang Chen¡¯s talent was indeed admirable.


    Jiang Mingtao gestured for Fang Chen to go down and sit down. He raised his hand and pressed it down, and the restless teaching hall fell silent.


    ¡°Alright, Fang Chen is quite good, but there¡¯s one thing you have to remember. Our Whole Unitary Sect is not a royal court that is filled with scholars. Remember the cultivation technique only means that you have a good memory. What we really need is to cultivate the cultivation technique.¡±


    Jiang Mingtao was also very clear-headed. He was afraid that his disciples would be greedy for memories because of this matter and neglect their true cultivation.


    After all, he had seen some disciples who could not memorize anything and could not even read. However, as long as they were given some pointers, they would be able to understand everything. This was the talent that the Whole Unitary Sect needed.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang is right. Practicing martial arts is all about aptitude and comprehension. As the first in this sect test, I will definitely be the first disciple to cultivate the whole Unitary Condensation Technique. I¡¯m not like some people who feel smug just because their memory is better.¡± Wang Jianan was originally a little discouraged, but after hearing Jiang Mingtao¡¯s words, he instantly regained his confidence. He glanced at Fang Chen and said arrogantly.


    Many people in the hall were unconvinced by his words, but they could not refute him. After all, what Wang Jianan said was true. His aptitude and comprehension were the strongest among this batch of new disciples.


    However, Fang Chen was instantly displeased. He had remembered it and understood it. But cultivation was still far away?


    Fang Chen, who was unconvinced, ignored everything in the Teaching Hall. He closed his eyes and tried to cultivate the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique.


    After Fang Chen circulated the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique, threads of warm energy entered his body from thousands of pores in the outside world. They first condensed in his dantian before following the predetermined trajectory of the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique and entering his meridians like fish that knew the way.


    The meridians along the way were quietly transformed by warmth. After a little transparent fascia appeared, the meridians wrapped in energy quietly flowed. Unknowingly, they returned to the dantian from the other end. At this time, a trace of settled True Qi appeared in the dantian.


    This was cultivation. The feeling of being wrapped in warmth was simply fascinating and irresistible.


    At this moment, Jiang Mingtao did not look at Fang Chen anymore, lest he became arrogant and complacent. Moreover, Fang Chen¡¯s memory talent was relatively amazing, but he thought more highly of Wang Jianan.


    This was because Wang Jianan was more than four years younger than Fang Chen. He was also at the eighth-grade realm now. His aptitude and comprehension were outstanding among the new disciples in the past.


    ¡°Wang Jianan, as long as you listen carefully, with your aptitude, I believe that you will be the first new disciple to completely cultivate the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique,¡± Jiang Mingtao assured Wang Jianan.


    Wang Jianan¡¯s face was filled with joy as he looked at Fang Chen provocatively again. However, at this moment, he realized that Fang Chen was sitting cross-legged beside him. His eyes were closed and his breathing was even, as if he had fallen asleep.


    This instantly made him feel aggrieved.


    Wang Jianan was furious again. Without hesitation, he reported to Jiang Mingtao, ¡°Instructor Jiang, Fang Chen sleeps in class. He¡¯s a black sheep and will affect the enthusiasm of others to study. I suggest that you get him out of here.¡±


    The disciples, who had already been pulled back to their senses by Jiang Mingtao, looked at Fang Chen again. Sure enough, they saw Fang Chen with his eyes closed and his mind wandering. He had completely forgotten that he was in class.


    ¡°This Fang Chen is really arrogant. Such a person will not be able to walk on the martial path for long.¡±


    Lin Xiaoyu had just changed her opinion of Fang Chen because of his amazing memory talent, but now she did not think so.


    ¡°Brother Fang Chen, wake up. Although you¡¯re very outstanding, you can¡¯t disregard the class like this.¡±


    The little beauty, Dong Yue, was extremely anxious. She wished she could go over and wake Fang Chen up.


    Jiang Mingtao looked at Fang Chen and frowned. He was also a little angry. Why was Fang Chen always causing trouble?


    tas


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, I will kick Fang Chen awake. You must punish him.¡± Wang Jianan saw Jiang Mingtao¡¯s attitude and was overjoyed. He raised his leg and was about to kick Fang Chen.


    However, at this moment, a green halo suddenly appeared on Fang Chen¡¯s body. He was as holy and inviolable as an immortal shrouded in divine light.


    ¡°Stop¡­¡±


    When Jiang Mingtao saw what had happened to Fang Chen, he flashed in front of Fang Chen and casually kicked Wang Jianan to the side. Then, he stared at Fang Chen in shock, as if he was admiring a perfect piece of art.


    The others in the Teaching Hall looked over, confused.


    Lin Xiaoyu also saw the abnormality on Fang Chen¡¯s body. She took a few steps to Jiang Mingtao¡¯s side, and her gaze changed from surprise to shock to jealousy. She asked sourly, ¡°Instructor Jiang, has Fang Chen already started cultivating the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique and can already circulate it?¡±


    Lin Xiaoyu actually had an answer in her heart, but she really could not believe it.


    This was because the circulation of the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique was much more difficult than Fang Chen memorizing the formula.


    ¡°That¡¯s right, Fang Chen can indeed circulate it already!¡± Jiang Mingtao took a deep breath and nodded.


    Lin Xiaoyu¡¯s face alternated between green and white, her eyes filled with shame.


    At this moment, she realized that her comments about Fang Chen just now were really a joke. In front of absolute talent, she was like a clown. The existence of others was completely Fang Chen¡¯s background.


    As far as she knew, the fastest record for new disciples in the past to be able to cultivate the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique was three days, but Fang Chen had done it in an instant. This kind of aptitude and comprehension could be said to be monstrous.


    Even Jiang Mingtao thought so. He felt a heavy pressure in his heart.


    Although a master led the way, cultivation depended on the individual.


    However, at most, Jiang Mingtao showed Fang Chen what the door looked like. In the end, not only did Fang Chen find the door himself, but he also went in and took it for himself.


    This kind of disciple was so outstanding that his master could not feel the meaning of his existence.


    ¡°A teacher doesn¡¯t have to be better than a disciple. This is my blessing. I have to calm down.¡± Jiang Mingtao kept cheering himself on before he regained his senses.


    He pulled Lin Xiaoyu to the front and glanced at Fang Chen, who was cultivating. Jiang Mingtao said to the other disciples with difficulty, ¡°Um¡­ Fang Chen¡¯s aptitude and comprehension are too heaven-defying. Although I encourage everyone to compete and supervise, don¡¯t compare with Fang Chen. You guys are not on the same level.¡±

 Chapter 34 - Strike

    Chapter 34 Strike


    Jiang Mingtao paused, licked his dry lips, and said helplessly, ¡°Alright, let¡¯s not talk about anything outside the classroom. Now, I¡¯ll explain the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique to you one sentence at a time. Everyone, try to be as quiet as possible and not disturb Fang Chen¡¯s cultivation¡­¡±


    After Jiang Mingtao finished speaking, he began to point at the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique on the cloth and explain.


    However, none of the other new students below the stage could pay attention to him. Most of them subconsciously glanced at Fang Chen.


    ¡°Is this the difference between a genius and me? I¡¯m still learning the same cultivation technique, but he has already started cultivating. It¡¯s really terrifying.¡±


    At this moment, Wang Jianan was stunned. He felt that the world had stopped and Fang Chen was the only one left in the world.


    ¡°They say that God is fair. If he opens a door for someone, he will close a window. But why are Fang Chen¡¯s doors and windows all open?¡±


    The first lesson of the new disciples was spent in a daze.


    Only Fang Chen did not know that he had unknowingly dealt another blow to others. He was immersed in the sea of cultivation and could not extricate himself.


    After class, Jiang Mingtao glanced at Fang Chen, who was still cultivating, and gave Lin Xiaoyu a signal before leaving in a hurry.


    Wang Jianan could not wait to leave this classroom. He followed Jiang Mingtao out of the classroom, but the others all looked at Fang Chen with complicated expressions.


    Dong Yue subconsciously walked towards Fang Chen and wanted to tell him that class had ended, but Lin Xiaoyu stopped her.


    ¡°Fang Chen is still cultivating. If I disturb him, it might hurt his mind. Let me call him.¡±


    Lin Xiaoyu looked at the infatuated Dong Yue and then at Fang Chen. At this moment, she also felt that Fang Chen was really handsome.


    Not only his looks, but also the way he cultivated.


    Her heart was pounding unconsciously. Lin Xiaoyu tried her best to look normal as she came to Fang Chen¡¯s side. She bent down and leaned close to Fang Chen¡¯s ear, almost biting his earlobe.


    ¡°Fang Chen, Fang Chen¡­¡± Lin Xiaoyu called out gently.


    11-11


    When Dong Yue saw Lin Xiaoyu¡¯s jealous expression, she wanted to ask her to leave, but she was afraid of disturbing Fang Chen.


    When the other boys saw the goddess in their hearts, Lin Xiaoyu, approaching Fang Chen so intimately, they wished they could replace him.


    However, they felt helpless. Just as Jiang Mingtao had said, they were not on the same level as Fang Chen.


    Just as Fang Chen was rejoicing in his dantian and his True Qi was increasing strand by strand, he heard a call that seemed both distant and close.


    Fang Chen¡¯s consciousness slowly walked out of his cultivation state.


    When he opened his eyes, he saw the teaching assistant, Lin Xiaoyu, leaning close to his ear. Her bright red lips were seductive and sexy. Her breath was like an orchid, making Fang Chen¡¯s ears flutter.


    ¡°Senior Lin, what are you doing?¡±


    Fang Chen did not react. His first thought was that Lin Xiaoyu was going to bite his ear. He subconsciously pushed her away, wanting to keep a distance from her.


    ¡°Ah, Fang Chen, where are you grabbing¡­¡± Lin Xiaoyu screamed and stood up in a panic. She took a few steps back and stared at Fang Chen, her face blushing.


    The disciples who had been paying attention to Fang Chen and Lin Xiaoyu were dumbfounded, especially the boys. They instantly felt their hearts break.


    Fang Chen finally realized that his hand had touched a soft and bouncy ball of flesh. Seeing Lin Xiaoyu¡¯s reaction, he finally realized where he had touched.


    ¡°Senior¡­ Senior Lin, I¡­ I didn¡¯t do it on purpose. I thought you were going to bite my ear, so I instinctively pushed you¡­¡± Fang Chen quickly explained.


    ¡°This guy¡¯s obviously taking advantage of me, but he¡¯s still acting like he¡¯s got it. I really want to bite him.¡± Lin Xiaoyu looked at Fang Chen¡¯s aggrieved expression and was furious.


    However, in the end, she could only wave his hand in front of everyone and signal for Fang Chen to stop talking.


    Then, she looked at the others with a straight face.


    ¡°What are you looking at? Fang Chen can already cultivate, and none of you can remember ten incantations. Why are you still standing here?¡±


    Her words instantly made the disciples who were still thinking about it leave dejectedly.


    Dong Yue really did not want Lin Xiaoyu to be alone with Fang Chen, but when she thought of the gap between her and Fang Chen, even if she had some thoughts, she could only leave silently.


    ¡°I also need to go back and consolidate my cultivation, so I¡¯ll leave first.¡±


    Fang Chen still remembered the feeling of the push just now. He felt guilty and wanted to take the opportunity to leave.


    ¡°Fang Chen, stop right there. I was afraid that you would wake up and damage your mind, so I called you carefully. You pushed me without asking anything and even took advantage of me. Do you want to leave just like that?¡± Lin Xiaoyu grabbed Fang Chen and said with a dangerous gaze.


    Fang Chen said helplessly, ¡°Senior Lin, then I¡¯ll thank you and apologize to you. Will that do?¡±


    Lin Xiaoyu was speechless and nodded blankly.


    Fang Chen quickly ran away.


    Lin Xiaoyu watched in a daze as Fang Chen disappeared. Only then did she realize that she had been easily fooled by Fang Chen.


    ¡°Heavens, Fang Chen was like that just now. If it were in the past, I would have already used my sword to slash someone. But why did I let Fang Chen go so easily just now? Could it be because of his talent that I¡¯m not confident in facing him?¡±


    Lin Xiaoyu could not figure it out. She felt that she had suffered a huge loss.


    ¡°Hmph, I can¡¯t believe he got away. The next time I see him, I¡¯ll need an explanation,¡± said Lin Xiaoyu hatefully.


    Fang Chen felt that Lin Xiaoyu was not bad. She was not as wishy-washy as ordinary women. As for himself, he did not earn any money from touching her. Of course, he forgot about it.


    ¡°My phone is indeed invincible. I¡¯ve successfully cultivated the Whole Unitary Condensation Technique so quickly. It can save me a lot of time.¡±


    ¡°However, Senior Lin said that cultivation techniques can¡¯t be disturbed, so in the future, I have to pay attention to the place and time. Otherwise, it won¡¯t be good if I got disturbed.¡±


    There was only one cultivation technique class in the morning. After that, there would be no martial arts class until the afternoon. Fang Chen came out of the Teaching Hall and returned to the small courtyard.


    ¡°Young Master, you¡¯re finally back. If you hadn¡¯t come back, I would have gone to look for you,¡± Old Fang complained as soon as he saw Fang Chen.


    Fang Chen frowned and said speechlessly, ¡°Old Fang, didn¡¯t the Sect Master say not to let you run around? Why are you looking for me? What¡¯s the matter?¡±


    ¡°Young Master, it¡¯s because I¡¯m not allowed to run around. Young Master isn¡¯t around either. I¡¯m almost bored to death waiting alone in the courtyard,¡± whined Old Fang.


    Fang Chen looked at Old Fang with a strange expression and asked in confusion, ¡°Old Fang, even if I come back, I still have to cultivate or something. It¡¯s not like I can accompany you to do anything. Speaking of which, weren¡¯t you also alone in the Zhenbei Mansion in the past? Why didn¡¯t you say that you were bored back then?¡±


    ¡°How can that be the same? When I was at the Prince Zhenbei¡¯s residence, no one cared about me. I bought a bunch of small paintings at home to kill time. If I really couldn¡¯t hold it in anymore, I could still go to the brothel to take a look. I wouldn¡¯t be bored no matter what. Yet when I got here, I didn¡¯t bring any small paintings or girls¡­¡±


    As Old Fang spoke, his old eyes were filled with nostalgia.

 Chapter 35 - Taking in an Underling

    Chapter 35 Taking in an Underling


    Fang Chen glared at Old Fang with a dark expression and said with a dangerous gaze, ¡°Old Fang, according to you, I still have to buy you some adult films and find you a wife to accompany you?¡±


    Old Fang noticed Fang Chen¡¯s gaze and quickly shook his head. ¡°Young Master, what are you thinking? I mean, I want to find something to do. At least it won¡¯t be boring.¡±


    Only then did Fang Chen relax. He looked at the small courtyard that had been cleaned. Clearly, Old Fang was really bored.


    ¡°Old Fang, why don¡¯t I teach you martial arts? Although I can¡¯t teach you anything from the Whole Unitary Sect, I can teach you the Three Styles of Breeze. This way, if you really encounter some situations in the future, you can also defend yourself a little.¡±


    Fang Chen had a sudden thought.


    Old Fang was stunned. He only wanted Fang Chen to go to the Whole Unitary Sect to tell them to find him something to do, but Fang Chen actually wanted to teach him sword techniques. That¡­ seems¡­ interesting?¡±


    seems..


    ¡°Alright, Young Master. You practice that set of sword techniques every day. Your physical condition seems to be getting better and better. It just so happens that I can also exercise my old arms and legs.¡± Old Fang nodded in agreement.


    Fang Chen immediately perked up. Then, he handed the Green Destiny Sword to Old Fang and held the sect¡¯s standard longsword. He began to teach Old Fang the Three Styles of Breeze.


    ¡°Aiya, not bad. Old Fang, it¡¯s a pity that you didn¡¯t practice martial arts when you were young. This move actually looks a little decent so quickly. I believe that in at most three days, you will be able to master the first move¡­¡±


    It had to be said that Fang Chen was very patient as a master for the first time. Old Fang had clearly learned badly, but he kept teaching and encouraging him. Old Fang was very happy learning.


    ¡°Alright, Old Fang, practice this move for the next two days. When you can completely master its various variations and integrate them, you can learn the second move¡­¡±


    Fang Chen taught Old Fang the first move. Unknowingly, it was lunchtime.


    Because running to the dining hall often took some time, Fang Chen had already arranged for all three meals to be sent to the small courtyard in the morning. In any case, it was only a month¡¯s worth of silver. Fang Chen could afford that.


    When the food came, Fang Chen saw the medicinal cuisine with meat and vegetables and suddenly thought of the plan to get rich from selling his barbecue seasoning when he was on the way to the sect.


    ¡°Old Fang, I suddenly thought of something else for you to do,¡± said Fang Chen suddenly.


    ¡°Young Master, tell me. I can¡¯t practice this sword technique all day. I want to find something else,¡± Old Fang said readily.


    ¡°You remember the barbecue seasoning we used on the way to the sect, right? I want to get a batch of barbecue seasoning and start selling them in the Whole Unitary Sect.


    I¡¯ll tell you the secret recipe for the barbecue seasoning. Then, I¡¯ll buy the necessary medicinal ingredients from the dining hall. You¡¯ll be in charge of preparing the barbecue seasoning for us.


    ¡°As long as we have the barbecue seasoning, I¡¯ll think of a way to sell them to people who need them and persuade them to bring them out of the sect to help sell them. Once a stable market is formed, it will be a stable source of income for us.¡± Fang Chen rekindled his plan to get rich.


    ¡°That¡¯s great, Young Master. I think this will work.¡± Old Fang¡¯s eyes lit up, filled with anticipation for this plan.


    Fang Chen nodded and wolfed down the rice before running straight to the dining hall. The dining hall cooked for martial artists, and most of the time, it was medicinal cuisine. The ingredients for the barbecue that Fang Chen needed were in the dining hall, so he directly ordered a large batch and asked Fang Chen to send it to the small courtyard.


    The ready-made herbs followed Fang Chen into the small courtyard. As soon as the door closed, Fang Chen taught Old Fang how to prepare the barbecue.


    After grinding the medicinal herbs into powder and matching them according to a fixed ratio, Old Fang learned it immediately.


    ¡°Alright, Old Fang, I¡¯ll leave the final product of the barbecue to you from now on. When you make a certain amount of stock, I¡¯ll be familiar with it in the sect. At that time, we¡¯ll start our plan to get rich.¡±


    Of course, Fang Chen still had to focus on cultivation. Therefore, the most important step of making the roasted meat was left to the bored Old Fang.


    After this, the martial arts class in the afternoon was about to begin again. Fang Chen left the small courtyard and headed towards the Teaching Hall again.


    ¡°Senior Fang Chen, you¡¯re here.¡±


    ¡°Senior Fang Chen, sit with me for this class.¡±


    ¡°Senior Fang Chen, there¡¯s something I don¡¯t understand about my cultivation technique this morning. Can you explain it to me?¡±


    Fang Chen appeared in the Teaching Hall. There was still a while before the class began. This time, other than the infatuated little beauty, Dong Yue, some men and women surrounded him and greeted him respectfully. Some even asked for guidance. They had already consciously treated Fang Chen as the leader of this batch of new disciples.


    If it were before, Fang Chen would not have bothered with these brats. However, since he had decided to develop a plan to make barbecue ingredients rich, Fang Chen would be a businessman in the future.


    ¡®The more friends you have the more options you have in life. Therefore, when he saw others expressing their goodwill, Fang Chen did not put on any airs and responded to them one by one. This way, those disciples who were originally afraid that Fang Chen would be arrogant became even closer to him.


    Initially, because Wang Jianan was the first place in the sect entrance examination, there were some people who expressed goodwill to him. However, Fang Chen stood out and did not get along with Wang Jianan. Therefore, the people around Wang Jianan came to Fang Chen¡¯s side one after another, but they ignored Wang Jianan.


    All of a sudden, Wang Jianan was alone.


    Fang Chen naturally noticed this scene as well. After some thought, he took the initiative to approach Wang Jianan.


    ¡°Black monkey ¡­¡± Fang Chen called out to Wang Jianan impolitely.


    ¡°Fang Chen, what¡­ what do you want? I didn¡¯t provoke you now. If you dare to bully me, I¡¯ll tell Instructor Jiang.¡±


    Wang Jianan was terrified. Fang Chen had a bunch of supporters now. With a single order, they could beat him up until he lose all of his teeth. However, he seemed to have a special fondness for snitching. When he saw Fang Chen approaching, he immediately became vigilant.


    ¡°Don¡¯t worry, Black Monkey. I¡¯m a magnanimous person. I won¡¯t take revenge on you because of a small conflict.¡±


    Fang Chen first dispelled Wang Jianan¡¯s worries with a sentence, then said, ¡°To be honest, among the new disciples present, other than me, you have the most aptitude and comprehension. I admire you very much, so I¡¯m wondering if it¡¯s possible for the two of us to turn hostility into friendship and maintain order in the classroom together so that our batch of new disciples can become the most outstanding in history.¡±


    Fang Chen¡¯s words were very tactful, but he believed that Wang Jianan, who was so smart, must know what he meant.


    When Wang Jianan heard Fang Chen¡¯s words, he was in disbelief. It could be said that Fang Chen was obviously here to take the initiative to express his goodwill.


    Moreover, Wang Jianan could tell that Fang Chen wanted to take him in as his underling.


    Wang Jianan had never thought about this situation before. After all, he had come in first in the sect¡¯s aptitude test and had always thought that he would be the leader of this batch of new disciples. However, Fang Chen had stolen his limelight. This was also the reason why he had repeatedly caused trouble for Fang Chen in the morning.


    But now, he realized that whether it was in terms of aptitude, comprehension, or character, he was inferior compared to Fang Chen.


    After class in the morning, Wang Jianan had already thought of the gap between him and Fang Chen. Even just now, he had panicked and been taken revenge by Fang Chen. But now, Fang Chen actually said that he admired him. Wang Jianan was really touched and convinced.


    ¡°Fang Chen, you¡¯re right. We entered the sect together. That¡¯s fate. We shouldn¡¯t have attacked each other and compared ourselves. We should have loved each other. I was wrong.


    You¡¯re stronger than me and a few years older than me. I admire you from the bottom of my heart now, so from today onwards, I, Wang Jianan, will follow your lead.¡±

 Chapter 36 - Flowing Cloud Sword Technique

    Chapter 36 Flowing Cloud Sword Technique


    Wang Jianan was a tactful and smart person. This was also why Fang Chen admired him.


    Seeing that Wang Jianan was indeed convinced, Fang Chen was in a good mood.


    He patted Wang Jianan¡¯s shoulder and said generously, ¡°Black monkey, don¡¯t worry. Follow me and I promise you won¡¯t regret it.¡±


    ¡°Okay, Boss.¡± Wang Jianan also relaxed.


    When the other disciples saw this scene, they were all amazed. When the smart ones saw Wang Jianan calling Fang Chen Boss, they also came over and surrounded Fang Chen. ¡°Hey, what do you want? Fang Chen is Instructor Jiang¡¯s most valued disciple. You¡­¡±


    As soon as Lin Xiaoyu reached the entrance of the hall, she saw Fang Chen surrounded by Wang Jianan and a group of disciples. She thought that they were going to harm Fang Chen and was about to stop them.


    However, before he could finish speaking, Fang Chen turned around and looked at Lin Xiaoyu. ¡°Senior Lin, you¡¯ve misunderstood. They¡¯re asking me about the cultivation technique.¡±


    ¡°Yes, yes, yes. Senior Lin, Boss Fang Chen is so powerful. We all view him as our role model and want to learn from him,¡± Wang Jianan echoed.


    Lin Xiaoyu looked at Fang Chen and Wang Jianan in confusion. These two people were still like fire and water in the morning. Why were they on good terms now?


    And from the looks of it, Wang Jianan had actually become Fang Chen¡¯s underling?


    Xiaoyu was even more impressed by Fang Chen.


    As an experienced elite disciple, Lin Xiaoyu knew that the true path of martial arts was not only to cultivate and become stronger, but also to be able to deal with the mutual deception.


    Many talented people died young.


    Those people had been plotted against because they thought too highly of themselves and did not know how to be tactful.


    However, the current Fang Chen had long understood that it was better to squash enmity rather than keeping it alive. He had just formed a grudge with Wang Jianan in the morning, but he had actually subdued him in the afternoon.


    It had to be admited that he was experienced and had a bright future.


    Although Lin Xiaoyu still remembered that Fang Chen had taken advantage of her yesterday, it was not appropriate for her to say it now. She could only nod at them and walk to the first row.


    Just as Lin Xiaoyu sat down, the afternoon bell rang. Then, she saw Jiang Mingtao carrying a long sword to the podium.


    ¡°Hello, new disciples. What we learned this morning was an entry-level cultivation technique. It¡¯s the foundation for your future advancement to the middle three grades or even the upper three grades.


    However, the lower three grades still had to focus on external cultivation techniques to train the flexibility and coordination of the body. Only then could martial artists unleash their strength and achieve combat ability.


    ¡°Therefore, what I¡¯m going to teach you now is the entry-level sword technique of the Whole Unitary Sect, the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. Look carefully and remember it well. I¡¯ll demonstrate it to you first.¡±


    As Jiang Mingtao spoke, he drew his sword and began to practice the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.


    ¡°Ka!¡±


    Fang Chen held his phone and patted Jiang Mingtao, who was demonstrating his sword technique.


    Many people noticed Fang Chen¡¯s actions. No one was surprised. Instead, they looked at him enviously.


    ¡®Ding¡­ phone detected Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. Do you want to spend 100 taels to learn it?¡¯


    Fang Chen was excited. He was finally going to get rid of the embarrassing reputation of only knowing one set of Enlightenment Swordsmanship.


    Without hesitation, he nodded. The money in his storage bag automatically decrea the little person in his mind automatically began to practice the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. It was smooth and natural, and compared to Jiang Mingtao, each had their own merits.


    Then the phone beeped again.


    ¡°Ding¡­ Do you want to spend 10,000 taels to learn the maximum level Flowing Cloud Sword Technique?¡±


    He nodded again. The sword technique practiced by the little person in his mind seemed to have been injected with life. It was natural and many levels higher than Jiang Mingtao¡¯s level.


    ¡°Why do I feel like I¡¯ve seen the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique before?¡±


    Fang Chen demonstrated the sword technique in his mind and was a little puzzled. However, he quickly confirmed that this feeling came from the max-level Three Styles of Breeze he had learned in the past.


    Although the two sets of sword techniques were fundamentally different, there were always similarities between some variations. This made Fang Chen feel that he could fuse the two sword techniques into one.


    ¡°Could this be the so-called ¡®all roads lead to the same destination¡¯?¡±


    Fang Chen had a vague understanding of sword techniques. He even felt that as long as he was willing, he could create his own sword technique.


    Just as Fang Chen was deep in thought, Jiang Mingtao, who was demonstrating the sword technique, finished demonstrating the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.


    ¡°Alright, this is the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique that our Whole Unitary Sect must learn when we enter the sect. If you master it, it will be difficult to find a match for you in the same realm. Now, everyone, let me demonstrate the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. How many of the eighteen sword moves have you comprehended?¡±


    Jiang Mingtao looked at the audience expectantly.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, I¡¯ve comprehended three variations of the first move.¡±


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, I¡¯ve comprehended two variations of the first move.¡±


    Those disciples talked at once, but there was basically no big difference. They all stopped at the first move. Most of them only comprehended two or three variations out of nine.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, I¡¯ve comprehended six variations of the first move.¡±


    The person who spoke was Dong Yue. She had a unique talent for learning martial techniques and directly left the other disciples in the dust.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, I¡¯ve already completely comprehended the first move. As long as you give me a day, I guarantee that I can completely master the first move.¡±


    At this moment, Wang Jianan said proudly. As expected of the strongest person in the same batch.


    Jiang Mingtao had a look of admiration on his face. He admired Dong Yue and Wang Jianan very much. Moreover, compared to the disciples he had taught in the past, he realized that these two were rare existences.


    Then, he looked over to where Fang Chen was.


    His heart skipped a beat as he realized that the strange mirror in Fang Chen¡¯s hand was in his grasp. However, he was not being vain. Instead, his eyes were closed as if he was asleep.


    ¡°Fang Chen¡­¡± Jiang Mingtao shouted.


    Although Fang Chen had shocked him to the point of thinking that there was no one like him in the past and no one like him in the future, the internal cultivation method was still based on one¡¯s brain. If one learned it, they would be able to achieve it in one go.


    However, sword techniques were not just about memorizing them. It also tested proficiency, combat response, and other comprehensive abilities.


    In other words, although Fang Chen learned internal cultivation quickly and remembered sword techniques well, he might not be able to become an expert.


    After all, sword techniques were known as killing techniques. A true battle was not something that a fool¡¯s sword move could deal with in one go.


    Seeing Fang Chen like this, Jiang Mingtao was angry. He felt that Fang Chen was really arrogant this time.


    The disciples below were a little confused. After all, in their opinion, Fang Chen had displayed extraordinary memory in the morning.


    Now that he looked in the mirror again and closed his eyes, he should have mastered the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique again.


    Yet, why did it feel like Instructor Jiang was questioning Fang Chen again?


    Instantly, everyone looked at Fang Chen and Jiang Mingtao, wanting to know what Fang Chen had done to make Instructor Jiang unhappy.


    ¡°Sigh, this Fang Chen is too worrying. If I had known earlier, I would have reminded him before class started. After all, there¡¯s a huge difference between internal cultivation and learning martial techniques and sword techniques.¡±


    Liu Xiaoyu basically had a good impression of Fang Chen at this moment, so she watched anxiously from the side.


    At this moment, Fang Chen heard Jiang Mingtao¡¯s cry and opened his eyes to look ahead.


    Jiang Mingtao glared at him, clearly expressing his displeasure.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, did you call me?¡± Fang Chen braced himself and asked.


    ¡°Fang Chen, let me ask you. How many moves did you comprehend from the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique I just demonstrated?¡± Jiang Mingtao asked with a dark expression.


    ¡°I understood everything!¡± Fang Chen replied honestly.


    ¡°Fang Chen, listen carefully. I¡¯m not talking about memorizing the sword moves, but how much you¡¯ve comprehended. In other words, if I want you to demonstrate now, tell me how many sword moves you can demonstrate?¡± Jiang Mingtao said angrily.

 Chapter 37 - The Sect Leader Arrived, But That Wont Do

    Chapter 37 The Sect Leader Arrived, But That Won¡¯t Do


    If it were anyone else, Jiang Mingtao would not be so angry, but Fang Chen had already displayed his talent this morning. His memory, aptitude, and comprehension were all top-notch.


    It was precisely because of this that Jiang Mingtao had high hopes for Fang Chen. However, when he saw Fang Chen learning sword techniques so carelessly, he was frustrated!


    At this moment, the others present felt that Fang Chen had unintentionally angered Instructor Jiang. They were all wondering how Fang Chen would overcome this crisis.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, what I mean is that I¡¯ve completely comprehended the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. I can already try using it in actual combat.¡±


    Fang Chen could feel Jiang Mingtao¡¯s anger, but he did not know that it was directed at him.


    When Jiang Mingtao heard this, his face seemed to be covered in a layer of frost. He felt that Fang Chen was simply too arrogant.


    This was because combat was a real battle. If anything went wrong, his life would be in danger.


    However, it was absolutely impossible for one to be born with combat talent, let alone with a sword technique that one had only seen once. It was simply ridiculous.


    ¡°Alright, Fang Chen, do you have to say that? Alright, come on stage now. Lin Xiaoyu, spar with Fang Chen with the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. Remember, you only need to use the strength of an eighth-grade martial artist like Fang Chen.¡±


    Jiang Mingtao¡¯s face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He felt that he had to teach Fang Chen a lesson.


    Jiang Mingtao knew Lin Xiaoyu¡¯s ability very well. This was also the reason why he chose Lin Xiaoyu as his teaching assistant.


    Lin Xiaoyu clearly knew Jiang Mingtao¡¯s intentions. She hesitated for a moment before walking to the front desk with her sword.


    Fang Chen did not think too much about it and walked up with his sword.


    Lin Xiaoyu thought that she would use Jiang Mingtao¡¯s words to warn Fang Chen later, so she wanted to remind him to be careful.


    But before she could speak, Fang Chen reminded her, ¡°Senior Lin, I am too gifted. I¡¯ve already mastered the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. I¡¯m afraid you¡¯re not my match, so if you can¡¯t defeat me, don¡¯t restrict your realm. If you really can¡¯t, just admit defeat. Don¡¯t worry, I won¡¯t laugh at you,¡± Fang Chen said sincerely.


    ¡°Wow, the boss is the boss. I can¡¯t learn this temperament at all. But isn¡¯t he a little too pretentious? Although I think he managed to comprehend most of the technique, it¡¯s unlikely that he will use it directly against the enemy, right?¡± Wang Jianan looked at Fang Chen with admiration and some doubt. After all, he had learned sword techniques before, and in addition to being taught thousands of times, he had to constantly face enemies to unleash the power of the sword techniques.


    Wang Jianan believed that no one could compare to Fang Chen, but it might not be the case if he fought.


    The other disciples had the same thought. At the same time, Jiang Mingtao had the urge to slash Fang Chen with his sword.


    He felt that Fang Chen was so arrogant that he forgot who he was.


    ¡°Lin Xiaoyu, don¡¯t talk too much. Let¡¯s start. Remember, you have to give it your all this time and beat down Fang Chen¡¯s arrogance. If we don¡¯t embarrass him today, he will lose his life if he encounters enemies in the future,¡± Jiang Mingtao ordered Lin Xiaoyu.


    Lin Xiaoyu nodded and quickly said to Fang Chen, ¡°Fang Chen, I¡¯m doing this for your own good. Here comes the sword¡­¡±


    As she spoke, Lin Xiaoyu stabbed her sword at Fang Chen.


    The sword was like a drifting cloud, drawing a strange trajectory and stabbing at one of Fang Chen¡¯s ears.


    This move was not the first move of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, but a tricky variation of the twelfth move.


    ¡°Lin Xiaoyu is really not bad. Her understanding of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique is no longer inferior to mine. If I use the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique against her in the same realm, the outcome will be 50-50.¡±


    Jiang Mingtao nodded in approval of Lin Xiaoyu¡¯s Flowing Cloud Sword Technique.


    However, in the next moment, Jiang Mingtao was dumbfounded.


    If Lin Xiaoyu¡¯s sword was a drifting cloud, then Fang Chen¡¯s sword was a flowing cloud. One was alone and could be seen at a glance, but the other was hidden in the clouds, waiting for an opportunity to move.


    Jiang Mingtao clearly knew that Fang Chen was using the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique, but Fang Chen had clearly already attacked. Before the sword landed, Jiang Mingtao could not tell which move he was using


    However, Jiang Mingtao also knew that Lin Xiaoyu had already lost. This was because Fang Chen could see through the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique at a glance.


    Naturally, Jiang Mingtao knew that he was no match for Fang Chen.


    ¡°Is this guy still human?¡±


    This time, Jiang Mingtao had misunderstood Fang Chen, but his anger did not decrease at all.


    Of course, the difference was that the previous anger was directed at Fang Chen, but the current anger was directed at the heavens.


    Ding¡­


    Without any suspense, Lin Xiaoyu was defeated.


    Looking at the stunned Lin Xiaoyu, Fang Chen comforted her. ¡°Senior Lin, don¡¯t think that you¡¯re too weak. Theproblem is that I¡¯m too strong. I can tell you bluntly that no one in the same realm as me is a match for this Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. If you can¡¯t do it, neither can Instructor Jiang. Even if the Sect Master comes, he won¡¯t be able to do it either.¡±


    Silence!


    The entire Teaching Hall was silent!


    Fang Chen¡¯s words were like the most unorthodox provocation, but at this moment, even Jiang Mingtao, who was called out, felt that he could not refute.


    This was because he had just seen Fang Chen land his sword without using a single move. He had only used one of the nine major variations of the first move to defeat Lin Xiaoyu.


    This kind of usage of sword moves could be said to be miraculous. At least in Jiang Mingtao¡¯s lifetime, he had never seen anyone who could use the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique so cleverly.


    Of course, all of this was even more terrifying if Fang Chen had only truly come into contact with the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique for the first time.


    ¡°Senior Lin, do you still want to continue? If you want, I can accompany you to practice¡­¡±


    Fang Chen truly felt that Lin Xiaoyu¡¯s swordsmanship still had a lot of room for improvement. After all, compared to him, the difference was simply too great.


    Only then did Lin Xiaoyu react from her defeat.


    She was clearly the sparring partner, but now he wanted her to train more. Just now, he was filled with confidence to make Fang Chen suffer, but now, he was actually not a match for one move. It was simply too embarrassing.


    He quickly shook his head and said, ¡°No¡­ no, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t be able to help but go crazy with you.¡±


    Indeed, Fang Chen¡¯s existence was like a nightmare to others. If they did not give up and insisted on fighting him, they would only be the ones to be hurt in the end.


    After saying that, Lin Xiaoyu sheathed her sword and returned to her seat. It was impossible for her to fight with Fang Chen again.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, why don¡¯t you try my sword technique yourself? I saw you demonstrating the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique just now. There seem to be a few problems. Let¡¯s spar?¡±.


    Fang Chen let go of Lin Xiaoyu, but he still wanted to try again.


    However, Jiang Mingtao was unwilling to agree. After all, he did not want to be used as a stepping stone by Fang Chen and be trampled on in front of so many disciples.

 Chapter 38 - Plot

    Chapter 38 Plot


    ¡°Um¡­ Fang Chen, your Flowing Cloud Sword Technique is indeed much better than mine, but you don¡¯t have to soar with me. If you¡¯re interested, you can be my teaching assistant for this class and help the other disciples. I¡¯ll also give you teaching points. How about that?¡±


    Jiang Mingtao was experienced. Not only did he not want to suffer a loss, but he also directly counterattacked and wanted to use Fang Chen.


    Fang Chen agreed without hesitation.


    This was because he also knew that the points of the Whole Unitary Sect were very precious.


    Some special cultivation resources, such as supplementary medicinal pills for cultivation and powerful cultivation techniques and martial techniques for cultivation, required sect points to exchange for.


    In order to obtain sect points, other than completing some sect achievements, such as the current entry-level teaching, there would be an assessment in 20 days. The cultivation technique could be operated on a daily basis, and the sword technique could be practiced once. If the assessment was successful, there would be a reward.


    In addition to completing the sect¡¯s achievements, if he wanted to obtain points, he could only do sect missions.


    Although everyone could accept sect missions to earn sect points after entering the sect, in fact, the Merit Hall usually only allowed new disciples to accept missions after completing the sect¡¯s basic teaching, to ensure the completion of the missions.


    In other words, logically speaking, Fang Chen would only be able to earn sect points after twenty days.


    Initially, Fang Chen was still thinking of ways to obtain some sect points in advance, but now that he had obtained them without any effort, how could he not want them?


    After all, other new disciples could not obtain the sect points. If he obtained the teaching assistant points, he would be the first person to obtain the sect points before the newcomer assessment.


    on


    However, it was also Jiang Mingtao¡¯s words that gave Fang Chen a bolder idea.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, there¡¯s no problem with me giving you an assistant, but I have a better idea. I wonder if you want to hear it?¡± Fang Chen said mysteriously.


    Jiang Mingtao was stunned. ¡°What good idea? Tell me.¡±


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, as far as I know, you taught the disciples cultivation techniques and martial techniques for the sake of the sect¡¯s points.


    ¡°And the standard of your sect mission should not be based on every class, but on the completion rate of the new disciples¡¯ assessment in twenty days, right?


    The higher the completion rate of the assessment, the better your teaching mission will be, and the more sect points you will get. Am I right?¡± Fang Chen stared at Jiang Mingtao and asked.


    ¡°Yes, that¡¯s true. What are you trying to say?¡± Jiang Mingtao was confused.


    The instructor¡¯s assessment was not a secret. He could see it after visiting the Merit Hall.


    ¡°I want to ask what is the best completion rate for Instructor Jiang?¡± Fang Chen asked.


    ¡°My best teaching mission completion rate is 60%, while the best record of the sect¡¯s past instructors is 70%.


    If this completion rate can be increased, the sect points I obtain will multiply. If I break the teaching discipline, there will be another generous reward,¡± Jiang Mingtao blurted out. These things often went through his mind. Even in his dreams, he wanted to increase his teaching completion rate.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, since the completion rate of the instructor is so important to you, if I can help you increase the completion rate of the instructor, I wonder if you can allow me to be your teaching assistant this time?¡± said Fang Chen seriously.


    Jiang Mingtao was stunned, but he soon felt that Fang Chen¡¯s suggestion was interesting. If anyone else said that they wanted to help improve the quality of teaching, Jiang Mingtao would definitely scoff.


    But if it was Fang Chen¡­


    As one of the many disciples, the achievements of an outstanding member would become the best learning target for the other disciples.


    Fang Chen¡¯s monstrous learning talent directly pulled the benchmark of learning to the peak. If the others worked hard with Fang Chen as the standard, even if they had 1% of Fang Chen¡¯s talent, it would be enough to pass the assessment in twenty days.


    Thinking of this, Jiang Mingtao became excited and quickly said, ¡°Fang Chen, I promise you that you¡¯ll be my teaching assistant in the future. If you can really help me improve the quality of my teaching and let the completion rate of our batch of disciples be off the charts, then other than giving the teaching assistant points, I¡¯ll also give you another reward. How about that?¡±


    When Fang Chen heard this, he instantly admired Jiang Mingtao¡¯s boldness.


    While he was happy that he could obtain more sect points, Fang Chen had a bolder idea about the distribution of the teaching assistant points.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang, it¡¯s not easy for you to earn some sect points. If I don¡¯t improve the quality of your teaching, won¡¯t you be at a disadvantage? I have a suggestion. Not only can I do my best to help you complete the teaching mission, but I won¡¯t let you lose anything. I can discuss it with you. What do you think?¡± said Fang Chen sincerely.


    Jiang Mingtao was stunned. Then, he said with interest, ¡°Tell me about it!¡±


    ¡°Instructor Jiang¡¯s teaching mission defines the completion rate according to the passing rate of our new disciples¡¯ assessment in twenty days, and your best record is 60%.


    So I¡¯d like to base it on your highest completion rate.


    If you don¡¯t reach your highest teaching completion rate, then I did not fulfill my role as a teaching assistant, and I won¡¯t accept your sect points.


    However, if I reach your highest completion rate, then at least it means that I didn¡¯t drag you down. In that case, I¡¯ll just get the same sect points as Senior Lin.


    However, if it exceeds your highest completion rate, it will prove my usefulness. Then, I will get the sect points according to the ratio of your original highest completion rate to the teaching assistant points. In this way, you will definitely not suffer a loss,¡± said Fang Chen confidently.


    When Jiang Mingtao heard this, his expression immediately changed.


    How would he not suffer a loss?


    Fang Chen clearly saw that the higher his teaching completion rate was, the more sect points he would get. Then, as long as the teaching completion rate was off the charts, Fang Chen would receive more sect points.


    Of course, Fang Chen had to bear the risk of not even breaking through Jiang Mingtao¡¯s highest completion rate. If that was the case, Fang Chen would not even be able to get a single sect point.


    This was equivalent to an open conspiracy. Fang Chen had helped Jiang Mingtao, but it was obvious that he wanted to earn more sect points for Jiang Mingtao.


    Jiang Mingtao could not refuse this condition.


    ¡°Alright, Fang Chen. We¡¯ll do as you say. When the time comes, I¡¯ll tell you my assessment standards and relative benefits. As long as the teaching completion rate breaks through, we¡¯ll be rich together,¡± said Jiang Mingtao seriously.


    Fang Chen nodded, full of motivation. He turned around and said to the new disciples below, ¡°Did everyone hear that? From now on, your learning progress is no longer your own. It¡¯s also my and Instructor Jiang¡¯s


    matter.


    Therefore, from today onwards, I, Fang Chen, will also become your teaching assistant. With my peerless talent, I will be the benchmark for this batch of new disciples to influence and educate you.


    Twenty days later, I hope to witness the miracle of the Whole Unitary Sect¡¯s new disciple assessment. If everyone can pass, we will create history together. I, Fang Chen, will be extremely grateful. However, if anyone dares to hold us back, I can tell you very responsibly that our sect does not forbid friendly exchanges between disciples¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh my god¡­¡± Jiang Mingtao had originally admired Fang Chen¡¯s mobilization, but when he heard the last sentence, he almost bit his tongue off.


    This Fang Chen actually threatened his companion in front of him. This seemed¡­ not a bad method!

 Chapter 39 - Plan to Be Beaten If You Fall Behind

    Chapter 39 Plan to Be Beaten If You Fall Behind


    ¡°Ahem¡­ Although Assistant Fang Chen¡¯s words are a little too agitated, I still support him on the whole. Therefore, from today onwards, Assistant Fang Chen will be participating in my class. I hope that everyone can still get along with Assistant Fang Chen in twenty days.¡±


    Jiang Mingtao went all out. Since Fang Chen had already said that he would at most communicate according to the sect¡¯s rules, it did not seem impossible for him to support him. Anyway, for the sake of the sect¡¯s points, he could accept being shameless.


    As soon as Jiang Mingtao finished speaking, the entire Teaching Hall fell silent.


    ¡°Does this count as a threat?¡±


    All the new disciples, including the other assistant, Lin Xiaoyu, looked at Fang Chen and Jiang Mingtao speechlessly. ¡°Everyone, Instructor Jiang has already spoken. I wonder if anyone has any thoughts about me becoming a teaching assistant? Wang Jianan, why don¡¯t you speak first?¡±


    When Fang Chen saw this situation, he immediately felt that someone had to break the deadlock. Hence, he suddenly spoke and stared at Wang Jianan.


    When Wang Jianan saw Fang Chen¡¯s gaze, he trembled in fear and hurriedly fought back. He said passionately, ¡°I fully support Boss Fang Chen and Instructor Jiang. I will definitely work hard to learn entry-level cultivation techniques and martial techniques. I will definitely not drag our batch of new disciples down.


    Also, if anyone doesn¡¯t pass the assessment in twenty days, I, Wang Jianan, will definitely follow Boss Fang Chen¡¯s footsteps and initiate a friendly exchange¡­¡±


    ¡°Alright, Wang Jianan is indeed the genius with the highest aptitude and comprehension in the sect¡¯s assessment. His learning enthusiasm and awareness are also admirable. I¡¯ve decided to help Wang Jianan in the future. Hopefully, he will be able to complete the assessment mission.¡±


    Fang Chen was very satisfied with Wang Jianan¡¯s cooperation and quickly struck while the iron was hot.


    ¡°I, Dong Yue, also support Assistant Fang Chen and Instructor Jiang¡­¡±


    With a start, none of the remaining people dared to leave. They stood up and expressed their stance.


    ¡°I, Lin Xiaoyu, also support Assistant Fang Chen and Instructor Jiang¡­¡±


    In the end, even Lin Xiaoyu stood up to express her support.


    Jiang Mingtao was stunned, especially by Wang Jianan.


    CI


    This black monkey-like new disciple in the morning was completely incompatible with Fang Chen. Just now, Jiang Mingtao even directly regarded Wang Jianan as an unstable factor and planned to find an opportunity to beat him up.


    Unexpectedly, Wang Jianan was the first supporter. Moreover, from the way he addressed Fang Chen, it was obvious that he had been subdued by Fang Chen.


    What did this mean? It meant that Fang Chen was a good leader.


    With a genius leader like Fang Chen, this batch of new disciples would definitely excel.


    ¡°Alright, this is the first time I¡¯ve seen a new batch of disciples so united and passionate. In that case, I have absolute confidence in breaking my own record or even the sect¡¯s record,¡± said Jiang Mingtao excitedly.


    ¡°Instructor Jiang is confident, so are you confident?¡± Fang Chen asked all the new disciples loudly.


    ¡°We are!¡±


    The response was deafening, and everyone in the Teaching Hall was fired up.


    ¡°Alright, Fang Chen. I wonder if you have any good suggestions about improving the teaching quality?¡±


    The final plan was proposed by Fang Chen, so Jiang Mingtao naturally had to listen to Fang Chen¡¯s teaching suggestions. Fang Chen thought for a moment, his eyes burning. Then, he said firmly, ¡°I actually don¡¯t have any suggestions. My only opinion is that I want Instructor Jiang to hand the class to me to manage directly.


    Under the condition that I would not directly violate the rules of the sect, no matter what I do, as long as you turn a blind eye, I promise to give you a miracle in twenty days.¡±


    Jiang Mingtao could vaguely sense the hostility in Fang Chen¡¯s words. He knew that once he agreed to Fang Chen¡¯s request, the other new disciples would not have a good time in the next twenty days.


    But who could refuse a miracle?


    ¡°Alright, Fang Chen. As long as you promise not to direclty violate the rules of the sect, I can hand the class to you for two days. If the results are good, before the assessment, I¡¯ll come to class and hide in the back hall to sleep, while you can do whatever you¡¯d like,¡± Jiang Mingtao immediately agreed.


    ¡°Alright, Instructor Jiang. Now, you can go to the back hall and sleep. We¡¯ll see results in two days,¡± said Fang Chen bluntly.


    The corners of Jiang Mingtao¡¯s mouth twitched. Without any nonsense, he really walked towards the back hall.


    ¡°Brothers and sisters, the reason why you came to the inner sect is that you have extraordinary aptitude and comprehension.


    And I always believed that as long as talent and comprehension existed, as long as I worked hard enough and did anything, I would succeed.


    Therefore, in order for all of you to have good assessment results in 20 days, from now on, I will announce your learning plan.


    From tomorrow onwards, the 26 of us in this batch would be surrounded and beaten up by the people we won.


    In other words, you will be beaten up every day if you lose.


    I can guarantee that without affecting your performance the next day, I¡¯ll beat you until your mother won¡¯t recognize you, regardless of gender. In short, if you fall behind, you¡¯ll be beaten.


    e


    Of course, we manage it humanely. I will specify a reasonable learning progress every day. As long as the last five can reach this minimum progress, you can avoid getting beaten up.


    This learning plan will get you beaten up if you fall behind. I hope everyone doesn¡¯t fail to appreciate my kindness and help each other improve.¡±


    After Fang Chen finished speaking, he immediately gave Wang Jianan a look. ¡°Boss Fang Chen¡¯s plan to beat up people if they fall behind is simply perfect. I raise my hands and feet in agreement. Everyone, you have to remember that I¡¯m the most outstanding apart from Boss Fang Chen. Then, I definitely won¡¯t be beaten up by those five every day. Therefore, I hope that everyone will work hard. Otherwise, my fists are not to be trifled with.¡±


    Wang Jianan had completely become Fang Chen¡¯s loyal supporter. His cooperation with Fang Chen was simply a perfect match.


    ¡°I also support Assistant Fang Chen!¡± Dong Yue supported Fang Chen blindly.


    What could the others say? They could only agree to the so-called plan of getting beaten up if they fell behind.


    ¡°Alright, since everyone has agreed, I¡¯ll continue to demonstrate the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique to everyone today. Everyone, watch and learn well.


    After class, I will get Senior Liu Xiaoyu to record down everyone¡¯s learning results. Then, I will use the results of the thirteenth place as the minimum requirement for the next day.


    The last five who can¡¯t meet that standard will be beaten tomorrow. I mean what I say.¡± After Fang Chen finished speaking, he began his teaching class.


    Lin Xiaoyu was surprised to discover that the other new disciples were no longer as lazy as they were in the morning. Everyone seemed to be on steroids as they absorbed all the images and important knowledge in the class.


    Other than that, Lin Xiaoyu discovered something else.


    That was, Fang Chen¡¯s understanding of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique was deeper and more profound than hers and Instructor Jiang¡¯s.


    When Fang Chen explained the moves, it actually made people listen more directly and benefit a lot. Lin Xiaoyu was surprised to find that even her understanding of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique had increased.


    This was definitely something Jiang Mingtao could not do.


    After all, Jiang Mingtao¡¯s Flowing Cloud Sword Technique was about the same as Lin Xiaoyu¡¯s. Even if it was a little powerful, it was limited


    It was the same class as in the morning. Because of Fang Chen¡¯s blow in the morning, every second felt like a year. However, in the afternoon, they were also hit by Fang Chen, but everyone was still studying.

 Chapter 40 - Brand Effect

    Chapter 40 Brand Effect


    After the swordsmanship class ended, Lin Xiaoyu followed Fang Chen¡¯s instructions and secretly recorded everyone¡¯s learning progress.


    She did not know what Fang Chen was up to, but she knew that this was probably another nightmare for these new disciples. Based on the records, Lin Xiaoyu was shocked to discover that all 26 of them had actually comprehended the first move of the Flowing Cloud Sword Technique. Even the weakest had comprehended the three variations of the second move.


    This outcome was something Lin Xiaoyu did not dare to imagine.


    This was because when she was a new disciple, her talent was ranked at the top compared to this batch of new disciples.


    However, she clearly remembered that on the first day, she had only barely comprehended the first move. The second move had not even begun.


    ¡°This¡­ if I were in today¡¯s class, I would actually be one of the five who would be beaten?¡±


    Lin Xiaoyu was confused.


    It felt like this new disciple¡¯s teaching was about to start a new era for Fang Chen.


    ¡°Alright, today¡¯s swordsmanship class is completely over. The results of the thirteenth place are already in my hands. This is what Senior Lin Xiaoyu arranged. I won¡¯t tell you the results today, but when it¡¯s announced tomorrow, I hope you can all surpass her. Otherwise, you¡¯ll be beaten up if you fall behind.¡±


    With that, Fang Chen waved his hand, indicating that the class was dismissed.


    Only then did Lin Xiaoyu understand why Fang Chen wanted her to secretly calculate everyone¡¯s learning progress.


    If he did not announce tomorrow¡¯s passing standards, it would be equivalent to burying a dark pit. If he wanted to avoid stepping on it, one had to ensure that there were no dark pits on one¡¯s path at all.


    In other words, if one did not know the standards, then one would not be able to relax for a moment after class. One had to blindly increase one¡¯s learning progress to the limit that one could improve¡­


    ¡°This Fang Chen¡­ Why is he so evil?¡±


    Lin Xiaoyu instantly felt that Fang Chen was really a little smart and terrifying.


    The new disciples felt the same way.


    ¡°It¡¯s over. After class, I¡¯m afraid I won¡¯t have any other thoughts. I have to memorize the cultivation technique and sword technique. I don¡¯t want to be the first to be beaten. Otherwise, it will be too embarrassing.¡±


    Everyone was thinking the same thing.


    The new disciples left one by one. Even Wang Jianan, who was originally full of confidence, ran away after greeting Fang Chen. Clearly, he also felt the pressure.


    Because just now, he happened to see that he was ranked second today.


    This was something Wang Jianan could not


    accept.


    After all, he had always said that he was the most outstanding other than Fang Chen. Now that he was surpassed, it was really a slap in the face.


    ¡°Fang Chen, you¡¯re really ruthless. With just this move, you directly rolled these disciples up. This way, they have to crawl forward with all their might.¡±


    Jiang Mingtao walked out of the back hall. Seeing the progress of this class, he even felt that the most difficult sword technique would be mastered by every new disciple in less than twenty days.


    This way, Jiang Mingtao even felt that he had a chance to challenge the 100% completion rate that had never appeared in the history of new disciples.


    ¡°Hehe, Instructor Jiang, this isn¡¯t called being ruthless. It should be called being serious and responsible. Otherwise, they will suffer the most during the assessment,¡± Fang Chen smiled and said eloquently.


    Jiang Mingtao had no rebuttal.


    Then, they dispersed and waited to witness a miracle tomorrow.


    Fang Chen quickly returned to his small courtyard. The moment he entered, he smelled Chinese medicine. At the same time, he saw Old Fang busy grinding herbs in the courtyard.


    ¡°Oh, Young Master, you¡¯re finally back. I¡¯ve been grinding herbs all afternoon. My waist is almost broken.¡±


    Old Fang¡¯s initial joy at obtaining the mission had long been worn away.


    Fang Chen smiled and said, ¡°Old Fang, we¡¯re in the early stages of entrepreneurship, so we have to do these things ourselves to ensure that the quality of the barbecue seasoning is good and accepted by people.


    Once our barbecue seasoning were popular with the public, we could hire or outsource them for someone else to grind. Then we would just have to master the recipe ratios ourselves.


    So don¡¯t worry, the hard work will come to an end soon.


    Besides, didn¡¯t I say that we¡¯re not in a hurry? If you¡¯re tired, get up and practice the Three Styles of Breeze. I guarantee that you¡¯ll feel refreshed and your back won¡¯t ache anymore,¡± Fang Chen comforted Old Fang while checking his results today.


    ¡°Old Fang, you provided more than 80 portions of barbecue seasoning this afternoon. This speed is completely beyond my expectations. From tomorrow onwards, you only have to provide 100 portions of barbecue seasoning.


    The rest of the time, you can set an appropriate price for the barbecue according to your experience and our costs.


    In three days, I¡¯ll start advertising our barbecue seasoning to the public. I hope we make it big,¡±


    instructed Fang Chen again.


    ¡°Young Master, shouldn¡¯t we name our barbecue seasoning first? Look at those Wong Po Tofu, Wang Mazi Scissors, Yandu Roasted Duck, and so on. They all have names. Let¡¯s give our seasoning a resounding name. This way, even if someone imitates our barbecue seasoning in the future, we¡¯ll still be the best,¡± Old Fang said enthusiastically.


    Fang Chen¡¯s eyes widened in appreciation. This old man simply surprised him every time.


    Although Old Fang did not mean it, Fang Chen instantly thought of a word-brand effect.


    As a modern time traveler, Fang Chen naturally knew the importance of brands to product sales.


    Brands were able to promote their products with emphasis. They were simple and focused. They were deeply rooted and impressed. It was beneficial for people to quickly familiarize themselves with the products and stimulate their desire to buy them.


    Moreover, as long as the brand formed an effect that made people familiar with it and became a famous brand, it would create an exclusive user group and make people feel proud of the brand.


    Fang Chen also thought of many modern business concepts, such as product logos, anti-counterfeiting logos, standard forging, chain development, industrial chain forging, and so on.


    ¡°Old Fang, why don¡¯t you think of a name for our barbecue seasoning?¡±


    Fang Chen was instantly excited, thinking that a great brand might be born today.


    ¡°Hehe, if I want to, I¡¯ll call it Young Master¡¯s barbecue or King Zhenbei¡¯s barbecue. It sounds quite pleasant,¡± Old Fang suggested, baring his big yellow teeth. Fang Chen nodded. He felt that the two names that Old Fang had thought of were indeed not bad, but Fang Chen quickly rejected them in his heart.


    This was because these two names sounded like barbecue seasoning invented by rich people. Then, according to the popular mentality of despising the rich, ordinary people and martial artists would immediately develop resistance to their brand.


    After all, at the end of the day, their target audience were ordinary people and martial artists. Those two names were definitely not conducive to the initial publicity and market expansion.
