Chapter 35

The White-Clad Identity, The Emperor's Cultivation

"Senior Brother Fang, you're back to hand in your mission?"

A surprised voice came from the side, causing Fang Wang to turn his head to look.

Fang Wang looked at the other person's face, pondered for a moment, and nodded, saying, "Yes, you're here too. What a coincidence."

Although he had only been away from Taiyuan Sect for a few months, the time he spent cultivating the Nine Dragons Divine Transformation Technique meant that he had actually been gone for two hundred years. Apart from those around him, he could not remember those he had only met once or twice.

The other person came over and greeted him warmly.

As they chatted, Fang Wang suddenly remembered that this was Zhou Bo, who was always very enthusiastic whenever he saw him.

The two chatted for a while before Fang Wang finally found a chance to leave. He glanced at the main pillar and saw that Lu Yuanjun's name had already broken into the top twenty. It should be noted that most of the names ahead of him were peak masters or elders who had lived for hundreds of years.

Fang Wang went up to the fourth floor and found the study where the elder of the Mission Hall was located. Disciples could directly meet with the elders.

This study is very large, with many magical artifacts standing there. Along the walls are rows of bookshelves, filled with countless books and jade slips.

"Fang Wang, right? The first disciple in the history of Taiyuan Sect to be personally taught upon entering the sect. I'm very curious about you. From now on, call me Senior Uncle Zhang."

Elder Zhang of the Mission Hall chuckled. He was fat and looked very honest, but Fang Wang saw his name in the top ten of the main pillars.

"Uncle Zhang, I have a task to complete, but I'm afraid that if word gets out, it will affect my safety. Could you just record it and not spread it around?" Fang Wang said respectfully.

Elder Zhang stroked his beard and smiled, "Don't worry, the Mission Hall only records contributions and won't gossip. Besides, I'll be the one to connect with you, so what's there to worry about?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Wang was immediately relieved. He then took out a cloth bag from his storage bag and placed it on the table.

Elder Zhang wasn't frightened; he just looked at him with a smile.

Fang Wang untied the cloth bag, revealing Li Hongshuang's head. Apart from the congealed blood, it looked like she had only been dead for a few days, with no signs of decomposition.

Elder Zhang glanced at it, initially not paying attention, but then his eyes widened.

"Huh? This is... Li Hongshuang?"

Elder Zhang was startled and quickly picked up Li Hongshuang's head to examine it. Soon, he looked up at Fang Wang, his eyes filled with shock, and said in a trembling voice, "You are Baiyi Jinghong?"

Seeing Bai Yi Jinghong wouldn't surprise him, but the fact that Bai Yi Jinghong had only been a disciple for a year...

A year ago, Fang Wang was only at the seventh level of the Qi Nourishing Realm!

The fact that Yang Yuanzi swept through fifty-one Qi Nourishing Realm cultivators at the seventh level of the Qi Nourishing Realm had already spread among the elders. The peak masters of each lineage envied Yang Yuanzi's good luck. Although Elder Zhang was an elder of the Mission Hall, he also longed for a genius disciple like Fang Wang.

When people get old and their cultivation reaches its limit, their pursuit, besides defying fate, is to find a suitable successor so that their will can be passed down in the sect for a long time.

A year ago, a Qi Cultivation Realm Level 7 cultivator killed Li Hongshuang, a Spirit Shaping Realm Level 9 cultivator...

Most importantly, this happened several months ago, and Bai Yi Jinghong's latest achievement was defeating Li Honggang, who was at the third level of the Spirit Core Realm...

Elder Zhang has been in this position for 150 years. What achievements have he not heard of?

But he was still frightened by Fang Wang...

He looked at Fang Wang as if he were looking at a monster.

Fang Wang coughed lightly, interrupting Elder Zhang's thoughts. Elder Zhang sighed and said with a smile, "Twenty-five years ago, the Li family came to visit our sect, and Li Hongshuang was among them. At that time, the sect leader predicted that Li Hongshuang had the talent to rival Lu Yuanjun. The Li family also intended to have Li Hongshuang join our sect. Unexpectedly, he eventually joined Qingchan Valley. What's even more regrettable is that he died at the hands of our disciples."

Fang Wang didn't know how to respond, so he could only smile and nod.

Elder Zhang then demanded his disciple token and recorded his contribution. Li Hongshuang was a renowned genius in the demonic path, and his mission remained unchanged.

Even if Fang Wang hasn't accepted the task, he can still complete it directly.

In addition, Fang Wang also assigned the task of rescuing Fang Hanyu. When the disciples return to Taiyuan Sect, their disciple tokens will be checked. These tokens are connected to a sect-protecting magic artifact. All the affairs halls in the main city are connected to this sect-protecting magic artifact. In short, Elder Zhang can determine whether Fang Hanyu has returned.

Fang Wang tried to produce the identity tokens of other Qingchan Valley disciples, all of which Zhou Xue had selected.

After half an hour of fussing, Fang Wang finally left.

Elder Zhang sat in the chair, unable to calm his emotions for a long time.

"A stunning figure in white... seventeen years old... he killed a third-level Spirit Core Realm cultivator in less than two years of cultivation... a prodigy... no wonder the sect leader values ​​him so much. No, I have to do something for him..."

Elder Zhang thought to himself, after the initial shock, his heart was filled with boundless anticipation.

Before his death, will he be able to see an unprecedented Taiyuan Sect?

the other side.

Fang Wang arrived on the first floor. He stopped as he passed the main pillar and looked at Lu Yuanjun's name. After Lu Yuanjun's name was a string of numbers indicating his contribution level, which was more than three million.

After completing the task, Fang Wang's contribution points were only a little over nine hundred. Li Honggang was not an enemy of the Taiyuan Sect, so he was not within the scope of the task.

Fang Wang glanced at it only once before looking away and walking away.

In the main hall, people came and went, and Fang Wang was inconspicuous in the crowd, just like the names under Lu Yuanjun, hidden among the masses.

……

After returning to his cave, Fang Wang began his cultivation routine.

He has no shortage of magic now, so he can focus on practicing his skills and absorbing Qi. His goal is to reach the ninth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm as soon as possible.

Time flies.

Six months have passed.

Fang Wang has reached the sixth level of the Spirit Shaping Realm. Such a rapid breakthrough will surely cause a huge stir in the Taiyuan Sect.

After noon that day, Fang Hanyu brought six members of the Fang family to visit Fang Wang, and their arrival made the cave dwelling lively.

Fang Wang was happy to see his clansmen, and after they sat down, they began to talk about their experiences.

They were all disciples of the Fang family selected by Zhou Xue. At the very least, their cultivation level had reached the third level of the Qi Nourishing Realm. Although they were worlds apart from Fang Wang, cultivating immortality was actually very difficult. Many outer disciples of the Nine Meridians would struggle to surpass the fifth level of the Qi Nourishing Realm even after decades of cultivation, let alone reach the Spirit Shaping Realm.

Fang Hanyu has successfully formed his spirit, and his natal spirit is a top-grade Xuan Yuan spirit, which makes the Fang family extremely proud.

Fang Wang was somewhat disappointed; anything less than a Di Yuanbao Spirit was no longer of interest to him.

"Thirteenth Brother, what rank is your spirit treasure?" Fang Xin asked curiously, and the others looked at Fang Wang.

Fang Wang smiled and looked at Fang Hanyu. Fang Hanyu immediately said, "Don't ask. He's definitely higher than me, but being too much higher isn't good either. It could easily attract trouble. Remember, you must not mention Fang Wang's natal spirit to outsiders."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Fang Hanyu's face was serious, but his heart was in turmoil. He was more curious than anyone else about the grade of Fang Wang's spirit treasure, but the kid just wouldn't tell him.

Fang Zigen, whose cultivation had reached the fifth level of the Qi Nourishing Realm, spoke up: "By the way, are you aware of the matter of the Great Qi Emperor entering the Taiyuan Sect to cultivate immortality?"

Others joined in the discussion.

"I know that it's already spread throughout the Seventh Clan. Everyone's saying that the Great Qi Dynasty is going to transform into a cultivation dynasty, but I don't know if it's true or not."

"If the emperor were to enter the sect, wouldn't he have to address us as senior brothers and sisters?"

"Tsk tsk, I thought that cultivating immortality would allow one to surpass imperial power, but I never expected that imperial power would also begin cultivating immortality."

"It is said that the Emperor paid a great price to obtain the consent of the Taiyuan Sect. As a result, a large number of missions have appeared in the Mission Hall to mine spirit mines and search for spirit veins. There must be some concessions made by the Emperor in this."

Fang Wang raised an eyebrow as he listened to their discussion.

Zhou Xue had mentioned before that the Great Qi would become a dynasty of immortal cultivation, but she didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

However, upon further reflection, it seems that only the emperor is currently cultivating immortality. It will take at least several decades of effort to truly promote the cultivation method to all people.

Zhou Xue suspected that the Emperor of Qi might be involved in the collusion between the Prime Minister of Qi and Lu Yuanjun. After all, in the original future, the Emperor of Qi and Lu Yuanjun had a very good personal relationship and reached the pinnacle of the cultivation world of Qi together.

Upon hearing that the Emperor of Great Qi had joined the Taiyuan Sect, Fang Wang suddenly thought of a possibility.

The cultivators who attacked the Fang residence were holding Soul-Burning Banners. The purpose of this ghostly artifact is to collect souls. Righteous sects do not allow their disciples to kill mortals indiscriminately. Could it be that the Emperor is willing to sacrifice the people in order to enter the Taiyuan Sect and thus gain Lu Yuanjun's recommendation?

As for why the Fang family was chosen, it was probably to go with the flow. On the surface, it may seem like a power struggle in the court, at most it would make the imperial power look cruel. But if it is discovered that the emperor wants to sacrifice the people of a city in exchange for the method of cultivating immortality, then things will be serious and the world will definitely be in turmoil!

Fang Wang remained silent, listening to his clansmen's conversation while sorting out his own thoughts.
