My cultivation level increases by one year every day!

"It seems these bandits have learned their lesson and will choose to be patient."

"Unfortunately, you simply can't afford to waste time."

For three days in a row, there was not a single bandit in Luowu Mountain, which meant that the bandits had withdrawn their forces.

But they can't stay away from the outside world forever.

As the great man once said, it is a sixteen-character mantra.

When the enemy advances, we retreat; when the enemy camps, we harass; when the enemy tires, we attack; when the enemy retreats, we pursue.

"The further we go, the fewer opportunities we'll have for our disciples to gain experience."

The younger generation of disciples in the Fang family are generally still at the Acquired Realm.

However, the strength of Qinggang Village has been almost completely depleted, and the remaining powerful individuals will definitely launch a counterattack. Those who are not strong enough will die.

"It's time to consider completely annihilating Qinggang Village!"

A dangerous glint flashed in Fang Yuan's eyes. He had now opened up more than a hundred acupoints in his body, greatly increasing his strength.

Of course, he wasn't arrogant enough to think he could deal with the Foundation Establishment expert from Qinggang Village.

The difference between the two is an insurmountable chasm.

"In a while."

In at most half a month, Fang Yuan is confident that he can break through to the Foundation Establishment stage. At that time, he can steadily attack Qinggang Village without having to rush.

"Continue your training!"

Add some points!

Fang Yuan closed his eyes and sat cross-legged, turning his attention to the attribute panel and clicking the "+" on the cultivation level.

In an instant.

Fang Yuan felt a surge of heat in his head, which alternated between itching and pain, but it didn't last long.

Immediately afterwards, her face felt hot, the heat spreading all the way to her eyes, a warm current flowing down her cheeks.

Finally, in the chest area, it seemed as if a mysterious gate had been opened, and the body's power burst forth.

[You have cultivated diligently for a year, breaking through three barriers in succession, resulting in partial enhancement of your physical body, but there has been no substantial breakthrough in your cultivation level for the time being.]

The final step of the Innate Realm.

Breaking through all 108 acupoints is difficult, but the last eight acupoints are often the most challenging, as they serve as connecting points and linking the preceding and following stages.

The points that were just breached were Baihui, Jingming, and Tanzhong, located on the top of the head, face, and chest, respectively.

After breaking through the three barriers, Fang Yuan felt his mind was clear and his five senses were enhanced to a certain extent.

dong dong dong...

Not long after, there was a knock on Fang Yuan's door. It turned out that it was Steward Fang Zheng who came to discuss something.

"We are about to transport a batch of pig iron back to the family blacksmith shop."

"We would like to ask the young master for help with this matter, as it would be convenient to send some injured disciples back to the clan."

Fang Yuan pondered for a moment and quickly agreed.

The bandits of Qinggang Village are not showing themselves now, so there's no point in staying here.

"I remember the last batch of pig iron was stolen by bandits on the way?" Fang Yuan asked.

Fang Zheng thought he was being held accountable, so he looked nervous and quickly apologized.

"I'm just curious, does Qinggang Village even have a dedicated blacksmithing production line?"

Fang Zheng thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "They probably don't have that. Forging weapons involves more than just pig iron."

Blacksmithing was a legitimate business, and it was subject to government oversight.

Fang Yuan nodded. To prevent any further unforeseen circumstances, he instructed the convoy transporting pig iron to disguise itself as a passing caravan.

Moreover, he sent people to the iron mine to find some mining masters and helpers, who disguised themselves and mingled with the group.

As autumn arrives, the leaves fall softly.

The disciples walked along the official road, with their master guarding the pig iron behind them, while Fang Yuan lay leisurely in the carriage.

"I didn't encounter any suitable opponents along the way, so I had no chance to unleash the Myriad Stars Fist."

Fang Yuan decided that after dealing with Qinggang Village, he would go to Luowu Mountain alone to train, where the monsters would be good practice targets.

"Fifth Master, didn't the Second Master say that robbery is prohibited in the near future...?"

In a grove along the official road, more than twenty men lay in ambush, each wielding a sharp knife and blade, looking fierce and menacing.

"If you don't rob people, will you all starve?" the fifth leader sneered.

"After we finish this job, I'll take you to the brothels in the county town. Those who perform well will be led to Baoyue Tower."

The thought of a beautiful woman kneeling before them filled these bandits, who rarely got to eat meat, with a growing excitement.

"Boss, look, a convoy is coming from ahead!"

The fifth leader looked in the direction the finger was pointing, a smile spreading across his face, his eyes gleaming.

"Everyone, get your weapons ready. Do not make any moves without my order."

Even after the caravan had passed by, the fifth leader of Qinggang Village still gave no orders.

This made the brothers a little anxious, fearing they might miss a golden opportunity.

"Have you forgotten the second-in-command's warning?"

This man had a fiery temper, but he wasn't stupid. Suspecting a trap, he decided to kidnap the victim in an open area.

"Are you worried that I'm not strong enough?"

Upon hearing this, the bandits all said they dared not and shook their heads.

"The Fifth Master is a powerful expert at the ninth level of the Innate Realm. Dealing with this caravan is a piece of cake for him!" someone praised.

This man enjoyed being flattered, and besides, he certainly had the right to do so.

"We're almost at the county seat! We can go home now," a disciple exclaimed excitedly.

Stepping off the official road outside Luowu Mountain, a massive city came into view, resembling a ferocious beast crouching on the ground.

Bandits usually choose to rob travelers in the misty mountains because there are few people and the terrain is good, making it easy to carry out their attacks.

So when they came out, most people breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their tense nerves.

"All personnel on high alert!"

But then, a loud voice came from inside the carriage.

The group was puzzled, but they did as instructed, keeping their eyes alert to their surroundings.

A moment later, more than twenty people suddenly appeared from nowhere and surrounded the group.

"Are you from Qinggang Village?"

They've been dealing with bandits quite a bit lately, and some of their disciples recognized them.

"I didn't expect them to be so vigilant."

The fifth leader did not give a direct response, but was quite surprised that these people knew he had been following them all along.

"Kill them all!"

Suddenly, a cold voice rang out.

But this didn't come from the people of Qinggang Village; it came from the carriage.

"I've never seen anyone so arrogant before. Get down here!"

The fifth leader was furious. He displayed his cultivation level of the ninth level of the Innate Realm and swung his broadsword at the carriage, determined to cleave it in two.

"Protect the young master!"

The powerful true energy caused the carriage to shake violently, startling the disciples, who immediately rushed towards that location.

But at that moment, a figure rushed out quickly.

bang...

A loud bang rang out.

Everyone saw a figure flying backwards in the air.

Who are you?

The one who fell to the ground was none other than the fifth leader of Qinggang Village. He stared intently at Fang Yuan, his expression filled with surprise and doubt.

Someone who could send him flying in a single encounter could never be an unknown, unassuming individual.

"The one who killed you."

Fang Yuan's tone was indifferent; someone who could withstand one of his attacks and survive was qualified to fight him.

The fifth leader propped himself up with both hands on the ground, his eyes were extremely cold, and his true energy surged and was poured into his broadsword, which gleamed with a chilling light.

With each swing, the blade's energy pierced the air, possessing immense power and weight, estimated to be at least several thousand kilograms in strength.

Fang Yuan remained expressionless, using the Phantom Step, the true energy sword he had gathered shattered the moment it touched the blade.

"Not even drawing his sword, he's really like a newborn calf that's not afraid of a tiger."

The fifth leader of Qinggang Village sneered and unleashed more than ten powerful slashes, cracking the ground with the force of the blows.

Boom... Bang...

Fang Yuan dodged while unleashing a barrage of Star Fists, a dense barrage of attacks raining down on the man like falling meteors.

"Damn it."

The fifth leader of Qinggang Village roared in pain; every punch that landed on him felt like his internal organs were about to shift.

But his swung broadsword couldn't even touch the hem of the other person's clothes.

Since he cultivated to the ninth level of the Innate Realm and opened more than twenty acupoints, he had never suffered such humiliation.

Dozens of round trips were made in a row.

The fifth leader of Qinggang Village realized that something was wrong.

That kid is probably using him as a practice target, because there's absolutely no trace of internal energy flowing through his knuckles!

The big man was both shocked and frightened, and had already begun to try to leave.

"Trying to leave?"

Fang Yuan glanced at the battlefield. The Fang family disciples were outnumbered and were currently at a disadvantage, barely able to hold on.

It's time to finally get rid of this fifth leader of Qinggang Village.

Fang Yuan concentrated his true energy in his arms and blasted it forward, creating bursts of energy in the air.

boom……

As the Fifth Leader tried to escape, it seemed as if stars were falling from behind him, relentlessly bombarding him, shattering his bones, leaving him limp and powerless on the ground, finally losing his breath...
