My cultivation level increases by one year every day!

After the prefect led the Fang family and others upstairs, he settled Fang Yuan in the main room, while the other disciples ate and drank in the side rooms.

The side rooms here are not inferior rooms.

The private rooms at Yuxianglou are categorized by level, with the top-floor rooms being the best, offering expansive views.

However, restaurants often encounter times when there are a lot of customers.

Therefore, the private rooms in Yuxianglou are very large, with the main room and the side rooms together, but separated from each other.

Simply put, it's the difference between the main table and the side tables, only more refined.

"Fang Yuan, it's been a long time."

When Fang Yuan arrived at the table, most people stood up to greet him, but only a few remained seated.

The one who spoke was one of the few people, Chang Qing, the fifth son of the prefect.

Fang Yuan nodded slightly, his attitude indifferent.

Those who attended the banquet were mostly the most outstanding disciples from the major powers in the county, including Wang Cheng from the Wang family and Zhu Jing from the Zhu family.

"Qinggang Village has many leaders, all of whom are quite strong. I wonder how many Brother Fang has killed?" Wang Cheng asked.

These words immediately stirred the hearts of everyone at the table.

With so many young talents gathered together, it's impossible that it's just a simple meal and drinks.

But most people are still curious about Fang Yuan's true strength.

"More than ten, I guess," Fang Yuan replied casually.

"Is Qinggang Village not lacking in experts at the ninth level of the Innate Realm?" Wang Cheng asked deliberately.

Fang Yuan remained calm and did not respond.

This made everyone else even more uncertain.

That's just how people are.

Even if you know that what you see is the truth, your subconscious may not believe it and may even hypnotize yourself.

This is like a child prodigy who, in a conventional way, surpasses his peers and goes on to high school and university.

He was on the right track, but just two days later, he suddenly decided to pursue a doctorate.

Everyone here is a genius, how can you be so monstrous?

Chang Qing broke the awkward silence, saying, seemingly unintentionally:

"I have received information that there is a Yin She Grass in a cold pool in Luowu Mountain. Perhaps you could give it a try."

Fang Yuan narrowed his eyes and glanced at Chang Qing meaningfully.

Yinshe grass has the effect of calming the mind and gathering the soul. It is extremely rare and is a top-grade spiritual medicine, which is exactly what Fang Yuan needs now.

What was his intention in deliberately leaking this information?

"That's not fair of you. The area of ​​Luowu Mountain is so large, and there are quite a few cold pools there," Liu Yun said with dissatisfaction.

"It's located in the mountains behind Qixi County, within a radius of ten miles."

"As expected of Young Master Changqing, he is willing to share any precious treasures with us." A woman from a prominent family spoke up.

Chang Qing smiled and glanced at Fang Yuan, "I don't have such a broad mind."

"I mainly wanted to tell Fang Yuan this news, but since everyone is here, I couldn't just keep it a secret."

Chang Qing's words were very straightforward.

It was difficult for people to guess his true intentions at first glance.

"Fang Yuan, my brother has offended me greatly. I hope you two can resolve your differences."

"Consider this news a small gift."

"As long as he doesn't show up in front of me, there won't be any conflict," Fang Yuan said calmly.

"We live in the same city, we see each other all the time, just kidding."

The fact that he even came is already a great honor; expecting him to bow down and flatter is simply wishful thinking.

"Everyone knows about the news that the Ninth Prince of Qingyun Academy broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage a while ago, right?" someone suddenly said.

Wang Cheng's eyes lit up, and he immediately became interested.

"It is said that at the moment of entering the Foundation Establishment stage, the royal dragon bloodline was awakened, and it seemed that dragon energy was protecting the body, and the dragon roar was endless."

Chang Qing's expression was solemn as he nodded and said, "Foundation Establishment is a major hurdle, and also the starting point for measuring talent."

To outsiders, the people at this table might seem like figures of unparalleled talent, far surpassing their peers.

But it is precisely because they have family backgrounds that they know there are countless geniuses in the world.

The foundation-building stage alone is enough to eliminate more than 90% of "pseudo-geniuses".

"The Ninth Prince has truly leaped into the dragon gate; he will definitely be a key figure cultivated by the Qingyun Academy in the future," a disciple from a noble family remarked.

"more than!"

Chang Qing shook his head. "I have received news that an elder from the Qingyun Sect is about to descend upon the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"He will personally escort the Ninth Prince to the Qingyun Sect and recruit him exceptionally!"

These words caused an uproar in the audience.

Many people wore expressions of envy.

To become a disciple of the Qingyun Sect is already an incredibly prestigious position, comparable to that of a princess or a prince.

To be personally received by an elder of the Qingyun Sect is an immense honor.

You should know that even the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty had to be extremely respectful when he saw the elders of the Qingyun Sect.

"The Ninth Prince should be under forty years old, right?" someone asked uncertainly.

"At the age of thirty-two, he has already broken the Foundation Establishment record that the dynasty had kept sealed for many years."

Chang Qing sighed with emotion. He was twenty-five years old now, and even in ten years, he might not be able to reach the Foundation Establishment stage.

Faced with an unparalleled genius like the Ninth Prince, he could no longer feel much jealousy.

The difference between the two is so great that they are not even on the same level.

"Fang Yuan, didn't you also participate in the Qingyun Sect's trials?" the genius from the Li family suddenly said.

I don't know if it's because he has low emotional intelligence or if he did it intentionally.

These words immediately brought the atmosphere in the private room to a freezing point.

"It's not easy."

Fang Yuan's face showed little emotion as he spoke calmly.

Isn't it easy?

Many people at the table felt contempt.

If it were easy, wouldn't everyone be able to rival princesses and princes?

"Brother Fang, you truly have seen it all; you speak with such ease," Wang Cheng said with a smile.

"It's better than some people who don't even have the right to see a big scene."

Fang Yuan never tolerated the sarcasm and ridicule, and he retorted without hesitation.

"you……"

Wang Cheng was so angry that his fingers, hidden in his wide sleeves, trembled, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

The trials of the Qingyun Sect are open to those who meet certain age requirements and are divided into different stages.

The track Fang Yuan was in consisted entirely of prodigies who had broken through to the Innate Realm before the age of eighteen.

"Let's all keep our spirits up and eat and drink freely. Don't hold back with me," Chang Qing said, trying to smooth things over.

Not long after, the banquet ended unhappily.

The major families in the city were only maintaining a facade of peace, so they could only gossip; open and honest conversations were impossible.

Before leaving.

There was also a little incident.

The Zhu family's pride and joy secretly slipped a note to Fang Yuan.

"Young Master, please get in the carriage!"

The younger generation of disciples of the Fang family, seeing that Fang Yuan did not come by carriage, voluntarily gave up their best vehicle.

Fang Yuan nodded slightly, got into the car, and opened the note. There were only two words on it.

Wang family!

"The Zhu family has always been peaceful and unassuming. Is she trying to muddy the waters, or does she have other intentions?"

Fang Yuan and Zhu Jing didn't have a special relationship; at most, they were nodding acquaintances.

"They've colluded with Qinggang Village; the Wang family and the prefect are both possibilities. There are many people who want to kill me."

Fang Yuan shook his head, no longer thinking about the complex situation within the city.

His most pressing task right now is to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

One force can overcome all methods.

Any conspiracy or trickery will be easily defeated!
