Chapter 730: City Square

“Fang Yuan?”

The male cultivator pondered for a moment and couldn’t recall this name.

With a scan using his spiritual will, he discovered that the aura on Fang Yuan was very faint, as if he really was at the beginning levels of Qi Refinement. He once again became a little arrogant. “Where are you from? Why did you come to this place? And you even dared call us kids. You’re very bold!”

“I am an elder that’s a hundred years old. What’s wrong with calling you a kid?” Fang Yuan rolled his eyes and immediately had a somewhat aged appearance. “I observed the signs of Ge Metal in your body bubbling up. You should be cultivating a sword technique? Unfortunately, your aptitude is poor, practically awful. Sacrificing the sword with blood and losing its purity, no matter how much more Qi of Stellar Malignance you find, you still won’t be able to breakthrough!”

Once a technique was successful, all techniques were successful.

At the moment, his realm was supreme and he was strategically situated. With Fiery Golden Eyes, this small Stellar Malignance cultivator had nothing to hide under his gaze.

The female cultivator walked forward and said in an unfriendly manner, “Hmph. The blood sacrifice technique of Senior Brother Zhang is a secret technique. Don’t talk nonsense!”

“Hehe... this little girl with long hair but short wit, what do you know? Using blood to sacrifice the sword can indeed achieve human-equipment unity, but it’s best to use blood from the heart, or if that still doesn’t work, blood from the tip of the tongue! Unfortunately, you’re only willing to use blood from your fingertips. Although it’s said that the ten fingers are linked to the heart, it’s laughable if you say that blood from the fingertips is on par with heart blood! If things continue this way, there’ll be a thirty percent chance of Blood Qi being impeded when you wield the sword...” Fang Yuan said with a weird laugh.

“Senior can actually see this... Junior Zhang Feng pays respect to Senior!”

The youth Zhang Feng was no longer suspicious and bowed his head in respect.

Currently, he had already stopped seeing Fang Yuan as a travel-stained old monster.

Fang Yuan glanced at the female cultivator and said while shaking his head, “As for you, little girl... the nature of your cultivation technique is chilly and does not complement your physique. I’m afraid that every day for an hour, there’ll be a lack of... functionality!”

“Wh-What?” The female cultivator seemed to have been struck by lightning as her face turned shades of red and white before suddenly bowing as well. “Greetings Senior, I am Zhu Mei. Apologies for offending you just now, please don’t blame me!”

“Don’t worry!” Fang Yuan waved his head. “I enjoy traveling everywhere and enlightening those fated... Where is this?”

“This place is near the River Mountains of Xi Nation. Junior Sister Zhu and I are part of the Tianhe Sect!”

Although Zhang Feng was a little astonished, he still replied respectfully, “Tianhe Sect?! Sorry, I’ve never heard of it...”

Seeing the cultivation and temperament of these two youths, Fang Yuan concluded that this sect was not powerful nor prosperous and straightforwardly shook his head.

Seeing this, an awkward look appeared on Zhang Feng and Zhu Mei. “Our sect only imparts skills within the Xi Nation. Senior isn’t a Xi Nation citizen, so it’s normal not to have heard of it before...”

“Hmm, throughout my life, everything I do is fated! It’s your destiny to have met me!” Fang Yuan laughed. “I can give you some pointers!”

“Thank you, Senior!”

Hearing this, happiness instantly appeared on the faces of Zhang Feng and Zhu Mei.

Soon after, the three of them started traveling together. This pair of martial siblings followed him everywhere and were later so confused by Fang Yuan that they could not make sense of the direction anymore.

And through the lessons, they inadvertently revealed a lot of information, including their cultivation techniques and the surrounding forces.

After all, Fang Yuan was a Dream Master and had already reached the peak when it came to manipulating people’s heart

Even though he was heavily injured, as long as he unleashed his magical powers, he could cause these two juniors to descend into layers of illusions and escape without a trace.

Of course, it was not worth it for him to do something like this to these two insignificant people.

So it’s really the Spiritual Realm. A world that mainly focuses on Immortal cultivation and mingles with Divine Dao!

The world is endlessly vast. There are numerous kingdoms in this hierarchy, and sects are even higher up. Below Essence Soul, there are only True Cultivators. Could only Immortals who are even higher move about freely?

In the forces under the heavens, there are 33 large sects, 72 medium sects, and innumerable small sects... There are also itinerant demonic cultivators, as well as Divine Dao factions.

...

Not long later, information on the entire Spiritual Realm was collected in Fang Yuan’s mind and transformed into a complete network.

Sigh... Only during the ancient times was it the true flourishing age of Immortal Cultivators! Many Sages appeared and passed down their teachings. Sages were innumerable... However, due to some unknown reason later, Spiritual Energy became thinner and thinner, until five thousand years ago when the 33 large sects made an agreement to unite and exploit the lower realms to extract their natural source as supplement. Then it became slightly better...

Zhang Feng sighed emotionally.

However, a gleam flashed in Fang Yuan’s eyes as he thought further. Thin Spiritual Energy... was it also harvested? And the lower realms that were exploited was actually the same method the Monger World used, only that the prey were slightly higher level.

The Monger World was a plane that absorbed and digested fragmented planes, while the Spiritual Realm instead devoured realms!

Furthermore, it specialized in locking onto its target and enticing them with bait, like the resurgence of Spiritual Energy in the Terra World with the Spiritual King Comet.

“The only problem is that such a huge matter also brings dangers with it!” Fang Yuan sighed. “Once this fails, the consequences are dire!”

“Isn’t it?” Zhu Mei suddenly interrupted. “I heard that not long ago, a campaign to hunt a realm initiated by the Dark Heaven Sect failed. Not only did it fail, heavy casualties were suffered. Ancestor Red Cloud, Five Ghost Loose Cultivators, and Fairy Hundred Flowers... Many renowned cultivators descended into the lower realms, and we still have no idea whether they’re dead or alive.”

Fang Yuan’s heart jumped.

When this somewhat familiar name of Ancestor Red Cloud entered his ears, he instantly knew that the failed campaign she mentioned was the battle to capture the Terra World!

In that war, if not for his swift and resolute decision that attracted a tiger to devour a wolf by bringing over the deterrence of the Mental Demon Realm, the Spiritual Realm would not have retreated so quickly.

Speaking of which, the Spiritual Realm had retreated without hesitation. Perhaps it had previously suffered a loss in the hands of the Mental Demon Realm? Could it also be because of this that its Spiritual Energy weakened? he silently thought.

Not long later, they came to a waterfall.

“We’ve reached the True Cultivator City Square!” Zhang Feng proudly led the way. “When we enter the City Square, we must invite Senior to have a good drink. We want to repay Senior and hope you’ll come!”

Through their interactions, Fang Yuan already knew that this cultivator opposite him was not bloodthirsty.

Additionally, he had many important things regarding cultivation that he needed consultation on, so he was extremely good-tempered.

“That sounds good!”

Fang Yuan smiled faintly and nodded. He looked at Zhang Feng taking out a talisman and parting the waterfall to reveal a passageway.

In reality, the reason why these two True Cultivators cooperated so well was because he had secretly imposed the influence of a divine seal.

The group of three followed the path and reached a bazaar not long after.

The True Cultivator City Square was also a unique feature within the Spiritual realm. This was organized by loose cultivators or families to specially create a place for True Cultivators to mutually exchange goods.

The main method of transaction was bartering. Of course, there were also spiritual crystals and spiritual liquid that acted as a universal currency.

Fang Yuan looked at the stalls along the two sides and muttered in his heart, If I’m free, I can stay within the City Square for a few days to quietly recover my true physical body strength before collecting intelligence...

His true realm was to make use of the origin power. Even placed within the Spiritual Realm, it was definitely formidable.

At the moment, he was like a hidden dragon. As long as he quietly waited to recover, it would be well worth it.

“Senior, please!”

While he was thinking, Zhang Feng and Zhu Mei had already led him to a restaurant in the City Square. Zhang Feng personally walked forward to find a seat and waved his hand generously after sitting down. “Take out the best the restaurant has to offer, and don’t skimp on anything!”

He quickly turned his face and had some flattery in his smile. “Senior... this small place has a good reputation around here. The spiritual wine and spiritual fruits have distinct flavor, so enjoy it fully!”

“Haha, seeing your great hospitality, I’ll accept this gesture of goodwill!”

Fang Yuan grinned and knew the other’s thoughts. With the cultivation technique’s foundation leaked, it was not difficult for him to improve a point or two.

In any case, he had previously deduced his Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique from scratch and somewhat adapted it to the Spiritual Realm. Its standard would not be too low and could help a person become Immortal!

“Thank you, Senior!!”

Zhang Feng and Zhu Mei were ecstatic. At the same time, a waiter served a plate of fruits with red dates and green pears, both releasing a tempting, exotic smell.

“These Fire Dates and Green Pears are immortal fruits. They contain tremendous Spiritual Energy. Senior, please!”

Seems like this realm also has botany skills. I just don’t know what standard it’s reached.

Fang Yuan picked up a Fire Date and took a bite. He felt a surge of pure Spiritual Energy flowing down his throat and directly entering his heart before nodding. “It’s truly good!”

With this surge of Spiritual Energy, the Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique that he had always been secretly circulating shook and completed the third layer.

With his unique ability, all the various upper limits were forever ingrained on his stats window, and his speed of cultivation was horrifyingly fast.

In my Elemental Spiritual Energy Cultivation Technique, I derived the first layer from scratch and created spiritual roots. The second layer is to release Spiritual Energy, while the third layer is spiritualization! Of course, in this realm, I don’t know what the divide is.

“Hmph, how could a true Immortal Dao senior possibly think much of these inferior spirit plants? Zhang Feng, Zhu Mei, the two of you were unknowingly deceived. Truly hilarious!” a voice suddenly interrupted from the side.

Zhang Feng looked over and his face suddenly became unsightly. “Li Han?!”

This was his sworn enemy in the sect and similarly at Stellar Malignance, even faintly having an edge over him.

At the moment, Li Han walked over with large steps and a sneer in his eyes. “The two of you really embarrass our sect. Wait until I deal with this person before settling the two of you!”

The Spiritual Energy on Fang Yuan’s body was truly only faintly discernible, as if he was not any different from a mortal. No wonder this person made the wrong judgment regarding him with a glance.

“Oh? Want to deal with me?”

Fang Yuan remained seated without moving. A look of ridicule appeared as he suddenly reached out to grab him.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Spiritual Energy converged and a large translucent hand appeared in the air making the same movement.

The flying sword in Li Han’s hands instantly shrieked and dropped to the floor like ordinary metal.

“Essence... Essence Soul strength?” Li Han retreated a step and said with a trembling voice, “You’re an Essence Soul Venerable?!”
