My cultivation level increases by one year every day!

three days later.

Fang Yuan walked out of the house, followed by Fang Man.

He is in great spirits now, showing no signs of the serious injury and bedridden state he suffered that day.

Behind them followed more than a dozen elite disciples of the Fang family, each with an imposing air, ready to go outside the city to wipe out the bandits.

"When you're out and about, remember to keep a low profile and don't be ostentatious," Fang advised.

Fang Yuan originally planned to go alone, but he couldn't resist Fang Man's persistent pleading.

But later, someone leaked the news.

Fang Yuan's intention to leave the city to kill bandits attracted the attention of many family disciples, who flocked to the mission hall to sign up.

And so, the "grand spectacle" we see today came about.

Before setting off, the Second Elder made a point of holding Fang Yuan's hand tightly and said earnestly:

"These disciples are the elite of the family. They should be carefully nurtured and treated equally. They will all be your wings in the future."

What could Fang Yuan say? They were all brothers of the same clan, so he just followed along.

"Look, those are the young geniuses of the Fang family, so many of them."

"Where are all these people going, gathered together like this?"

"My God, look at the leader, it looks like Fang Yuan!" someone exclaimed.

Fang Yuan's fame was so great that he attracted the attention of many passersby even before he stepped out the door.

"The county competition is coming up in a few days. I think the young master of the Fang family will continue to defend his championship title."

"It's rumored that Fang Yuan failed the Qingyun Sect trial, but he still looks so spirited."

"Rumors are just rumors; who knows if they're true?"

"That's right, some people are even saying that Fang Yuan's dantian was destroyed and he's already started rebuilding it..."

Fang Yuan was quite helpless. He had just said he wanted to keep a low profile, but the scene before him was truly impressive.

"Let's hurry and get out of the city."

Qinghai City is the central city of Liuyun County, commonly known as the county seat, and is frequented by many merchants and powerful figures.

The county town was divided into an inner city and an outer city. The inner city occupied more than 70% of the land and was inhabited by noble families.

However, in terms of population size and density, the outer city is more than ten times larger than the inner city, and it is a melting pot of all sorts of people with a strong sense of community.

When the younger generation of the Fang family arrived in the outer city, their popularity plummeted, and they soon left the city.

On the city wall.

A young man with a cold and stern face watched Fang Yuan and the others leave, his gaze deep and unfathomable.

"He's finally out of the city! Immediately deploy the assassins on standby!"

"We will obey your command, young master," the burly man beside the young man replied respectfully.

"These assassins we've trained for years, surely they won't make any mistakes?"

"They are all absolutely loyal, and their cultivation levels are all at the ninth level of the Innate Realm. Killing him would be as easy as turning one's hand."

The young man nodded, looked away, made up his mind, and turned to walk down the city wall.

At this moment, Fang Yuan was unaware that someone had already set their sights on him.

Our destination this time is a mine owned by the Fang family, located west of Luowu Mountain.

Mount Luowu is shrouded in white mist all year round. There is an official road on the outer perimeter, but traces of monsters can be found from time to time.

Further in, it is almost a paradise for demonic beasts, and ordinary human cultivators dare not set foot there.

The Fang family's mines are located on the edge of a large area where monsters live, and they are directly adjacent to the official road.

"Be careful on the road, and rest when we reach the mine," Fang Yuan said.

Everyone was a cultivator, and their physical strength was quite good. Among them were quite arrogant individuals, but they all listened to Fang Yuan's words without question.

The journey went smoothly, with no fools blocking the way.

"We'll be at the mine in about ten miles."

Fang Man took out a map and compared it.

"Didn't you go to the mine? Why do you need to take out a map to look at?" Fang Yuan asked, puzzled.

Fang Man glanced at the other disciples and lowered his voice, "Brother Yuan, as you know, I have a terrible sense of direction."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and realized that there was indeed such a thing.

The setting sun cast its last rays on the ground, as if draping Luowu Mountain in a thin veil.

Ten miles is not a long distance for ordinary people, let alone for these cultivators. It can be said that the mine is right in front of them.

Roar……

Just as everyone was starting to relax.

A sudden roar from a beast snapped everyone back to their tense state.

clang clang...

Immediately afterwards, the sounds of more than ten sharp blades being drawn rang out one after another.

A moment later, a large, white-browed, piercing insect emerged from the forest. It was enormous, with mottled yellow and black fur, and its eyes gleamed with ferocity.

"I thought we'd encountered a monster, but it's just an ordinary tiger," Fang Man said with a smile.

Even the weakest of the demonic beasts is comparable in strength to a human at the Acquired Realm.

As for other ferocious birds and beasts, martial artists at the Body Refinement Realm can handle them, so many martial artists make a living by hunting.

"Young Master, let me do it."

Seeing a large, white-browed tiger blocking their path, a disciple volunteered to kill the obstacle.

Fang Yuan nodded slightly.

The disciples who were able to follow Fang Yuan this time were all selected, and their strength was at least at the fifth level of the Acquired Realm.

The Fang family disciple stepped forward, facing a tiger far larger than himself, without the slightest fear in his eyes, his true energy surging forth.

He brandished his longsword, his figure flashing, ready to slash at the tiger.

The tiger's huge pupils flashed with a human-like fear, but it still roared in a low voice and pounced.

"Something's not right. Animals have an innate instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm."

"The moment Fang Ping released his cultivation aura, it should have instinctively run away."

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and looked into the misty mountains, where he indeed spotted several figures hiding.

Roar……

The battle on Fang Ping's side ended quickly.

With the final, desolate roar of the king of beasts, the breath of life gradually faded away.

He smiled and turned to walk back, but at that moment a huge black shadow appeared behind him, directly enveloping Fang Yuan.

"Be careful!"

A disciple quickly reminded him, his tone urgent.

Fang Ping also noticed the shadow in front of him and wanted to turn around immediately, but what came into view was a demonic tiger with its mouth wide open, moving very fast, and its fleshy paws, as big as sandbags, were already slapping down.

"Oops!"

Fang Ping had no time to react and felt a sense of despair.

Am I going to die in the tiger's mouth today?

Some disciples couldn't bear to look and turned their heads away, their faces filled with sorrow.

call out……

At this critical moment.

An ice spike made of true energy shot out straight out, tearing through the air and piercing into the demon tiger's head, shattering its hard skull.

Looking at the demonic tiger lying in front of him, Fang Ping felt both the joy of being reborn and the lingering fear of surviving a calamity.

"Thank you so much for saving us, Young Master!"

Following the trajectory of the ice spike, Fang Ping quickly spotted Fang Yuan and immediately knelt down on one knee with utmost respect.

"When you're out gaining experience, you must always be vigilant!"

After reminding him, Fang Yuan continued, "The battle isn't over yet, watch your back."

The voice just fell.

Four more demonic tigers emerged from the jungle, roaring deafeningly, causing the birds and beasts in the forest to scatter.

Their dark eyes, filled with anger and murderous intent, stared intently at Fang Yuan.

"Two of them are at the ninth level of the Acquired Realm, one is at the fifth level, and one is at the seventh level."

Fang Yuan glanced at them and immediately realized that the cultivation level of these demonic tigers was rather low-level.

"It seems like they're all a loving family."

The demonic tiger that Fang Yuan had just casually dealt with was at the fifth level of the Acquired Realm, and its aura was quite similar to the four demonic tigers in front of him.

"The monsters are actually quite intelligent; they even know to send cannon fodder first to scout the situation," Fang Yuan remarked in amazement.

The tiger is the king of beasts, and the demon tiger is an even more powerful being among the demon beasts, making it difficult for cultivators of the same realm to kill.

"Let's all join forces and slay the demonic tiger!"

The Fang family disciples had the advantage of numbers and rushed out.

After greeting Fang Yuan, Fang Man picked up an iron rod and directly confronted the demonic tiger at the ninth level of the Acquired Realm...
