My cultivation level increases by one year every day!

three days later.

"The effects of the Gathering Spirit Pill are indeed very good."

Fang Yuan sat cross-legged in the room. The mental energy that had initially gathered in his mind was just a lone reed, but now it had grown into a vast expanse.

With his talent, he could refine a Spirit Gathering Pill in just three days.

However, a single Spirit Gathering Pill is enough to be equivalent to a month of arduous cultivation and tempering of the spirit.

"The price of the Spirit Gathering Pill is much more expensive than that of the Qi Condensation Pill, and generally only elders can afford it."

The higher the cultivation level, the more resources are required.

Even with the family's resources being allocated to them, it's impossible to be unrestrained.

Fortunately, he had the support of the Heavenly Origin Realm in improving his cultivation, which was a steady and effective way to do so, much faster and better than taking drugs.

"Once my divine sense is fully formed, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment stage will be just around the corner!"

Fang Yuan's eyes flashed. Only after stepping into the Foundation Establishment Realm could he be considered to have completely entered the ranks of the top experts in Liuyun County, and he acted with few scruples.

Not long after, Xiao Zi suddenly rushed in.

"Reporting to the young master, something terrible has happened."

Fang Yuan frowned and gestured for Xiao Zi to continue.

"I heard that the bandits from Qinggang Village mobilized in full force and attacked our mines in Luowu Mountain."

So brave.

Fang Yuan's anger flared up. "What's the situation regarding casualties?"

"The losses are substantial, the exact figures are unknown. The patriarch requests that you, young master, come over," Xiao Zi replied truthfully.

Fang Yuan nodded. This concerned the family's reputation, and no one had dared to provoke the Fang family like this for many years.

When the thunderous wrath descends, it will surely annihilate Qinggang Village!

When Fang arrived at the main study, several elders were already inside. He immediately bowed and greeted them.

"These bandits from Qinggang Village are too rampant. I will personally go up the mountain to deal with these sons of bitches."

The one who spoke was the Ninth Elder of the Fang family, a man with a fiery temper who was always ready to destroy his family and clan at the drop of a hat, and who was also very powerful.

"For a mere Qinggang Village, having an ordinary elder handle it should be enough," the Second Elder suddenly said.

The elders of the Fang family are all well-known and respected, ranging from the First Elder to the Seventeenth Elder.

The remaining Foundation Establishment stage elders are all collectively referred to as ordinary elders.

"We must not be careless. We still do not know who is in charge of uniting these scattered bandits. They are probably no ordinary people."

The Seventh Elder said very seriously.

I think we should let National Day go.

The Second Elder turned his gaze to the Eleventh Elder, who had remained silent until now. The Eleventh Elder was calm and composed, and acted with great steadiness.

Seeing this, the other elders all nodded in agreement.

Fang Zhongwu, sitting in the main seat, made the final decision, then glanced at Fang Yuan in the corner and said:

"Fang Yuan, follow Elder Eleven and learn from his experience!"

These words were spoken.

Many of the elders in the study were quite surprised.

"Patriarch, this operation is very dangerous. We shouldn't let the young patriarch take any risks."

"Yes, besides the leader who is at the Foundation Establishment stage, there are several other bandit leaders who are at the ninth level of the Innate stage, and there are even some who have broken through the Hundred Acupoints stage."

"I don't think that's appropriate."

Many elders, concerned for Fang Yuan's safety, offered their advice.

Fang Zhongwu smiled and shook his head.

"You might not know this, but this kid's cultivation has already broken through to the ninth level of the Innate Realm!"

Of everyone in the Fang family, only Fang Zhongwu truly knew Fang Yuan's cultivation level and strength.

The other elders learned about the stories from their disciples or from news reports.

But none of these are accurate.

Because Fang Yuan was decisive in his actions, he killed most of his enemies in a single move, instantly!

The disciples were of low cultivation level and had no idea what his strength was really like; they only knew that he was very strong.

"At such a young age, a ninth-level Innate Realm cultivator breaking the record for the youngest Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator in Qinghai City is just around the corner!" an elder exclaimed excitedly.

No elder doubted the truthfulness of Fang Zhongwu's words; all of them placed their expectant gazes on Fang Yuan.

"I think that not only the records of Qinghai City, but also the records of the Great Zhou Dynasty can be altered."

An elder with completely white hair and beard stroked his beard and looked at Fang Yuan with satisfaction.

Currently, the youngest person to reach the Foundation Establishment stage in the Great Zhou Dynasty is thirty-six years old!

"With the young master here, our Fang family is sure to prosper in the future!"

Over the years, the Fang family has gradually risen from the bottom of the three great families to its current leading position.

To a large extent, this is thanks to Fang Zhongwu's efforts.

But the most important factor is family unity. There may be infighting, but it cannot affect the fundamental premise of development.

The elders all left, and Fang Zhongwu kept Fang Yuan behind for a private conversation.

"Qinggang Village has gathered a group of desperados. If we drive them to a corner, they will definitely use all sorts of means to resist!"

Fang Zhongwu admonished, "Being alive is more important than anything else."

"Unless a Foundation Establishment realm expert intervenes, no one in the Innate realm can be my match!"

To reassure Fang Zhongwu, Fang Yuan made some boastful remarks, though most of them contained the truth.

"That's how it should be."

Fang Zhongwu did not refute, but instead looked proud.

"How are Fang Man and the others doing now?"

On his way there, Fang Yuan received news that the mine had been attacked and Fang Man had been arrested, his fate unknown.

"You are safe and sound."

The Fang family has a special place to store the life tablets of important clan members, so that they can know the life status of clan members who are far away.

"If Fang Man had really met with an accident, the Fifth Elder would have already rushed over and slaughtered him without leaving a trace."

The Fifth Elder was Fang Man's adoptive father. He treated Fang Man as his own son and was very protective of him.

"There's no time to lose. I'll go back and make preparations now, and then I'll set off with Elder Eleven."

Back at the villa, Fang Yuan didn't have much to pack. It wasn't his first time visiting the mine, and he had everything he needed in his Qiankun bag.

When he returned, he instructed Xiao Zi to keep a close eye on Miao Yunshang and the movements of Tingyu Pavilion.

Many disciples went to conquer Qinggang Village again this time, most of whom had been there before.

There were over a hundred members of the Houtian Realm, thirty stewards, and one council elder.

Such a lineup was enough to sweep away the powerful families in the surrounding cities, which can be said to have given Qinggang Village a lot of face.

"I heard that Qinggang Village has angered the Fang family, and they're probably doomed this time."

"Look at this lineup, it's probably enough to scatter the ashes of even the bandits in the village, and even a dog would get slapped twice."

"Qinggang Village has harmed countless merchants and harmed countless ordinary cultivators; they deserve to die!"

Although the Fang family had their reasons, what they did was essentially a good thing for the people, and the local residents all sang their praises.

Soon, the Fang family's large and imposing procession left the city.

at the same time.

The scouts who had been gathering information ahead have returned.

"Reporting back to the Eleventh Elder, no one survived at the mine, and no trace of the Qinggangzhai bandits has been found in Luowu Mountain for the time being."

The eleventh elder narrowed his eyes; beneath his calm expression lay a volcano about to erupt.

The others also looked grim.

"Investigate further, report back."

On the front lines, having firsthand intelligence is crucial.

"Elder, if we gather together now, we'll become too conspicuous and easily arouse the suspicion of the bandits of Qinggang Village."

Among the Fang family members, only Fang Yuan was qualified to speak with the elders.

"Yuan'er, what are your thoughts? Please speak freely."

"We can divide into ten teams and surround Qinggang Village one by one, which will prevent any from escaping."

After a moment's thought, the eleventh elder quickly agreed with Fang Yuan's idea.
