My cultivation level increases by one year every day!

"Let Dad prepare it, so as not to arouse suspicion."

Qi Condensation Pills are generally associated with breaking through to the Innate Realm.

Fang Yuan's current public image is focused on repairing his dantian, so he absolutely cannot take Qi Condensation Pills, otherwise his body will burst.

After thinking everything through, Fang Yuan opened the door and saw a round, fat man with a smile on his face.

"Why are you here?"

Fang Yuan was quite surprised, but he still smiled and invited Fang Man into the house, where a maid served him tea.

"Brother Yuan asked me to investigate that talisman last time, and now I'm getting some leads."

Fang Man drank the tea like a cow, moistened his throat, and then spoke.

Fang Yuan's eyes flickered slightly as some memories flooded his mind.

Before heading to the Qingyun Sect for the trials, he and Fang Man were training outside when they accidentally obtained a stone covered with runes.

Traditional talismans have very high requirements for the carrier material, and usually require specially made butter paper.

The talismans carved on the stone were clearly very strange.

Moreover, the place where the talisman was found happened to be not far from the Fang family's spiritual vein.

Fang Yuan had someone investigate, and sure enough, they found several similar stone talismans nearby.

The art of talismans is very mysterious.

Some pre-made talismans can unleash tremendous power in an instant, or even borrow the power of heaven and earth.

"I've received word that a big shot has recently arrived at the Wang family, and he's suspected to be a cultivator," Fang Man said.

Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, the number of cultivators was very small, making them a niche group within the cultivation system.

Only those who cultivate Taoism have the ability to make talismans.

"I will bring this up with the family head. Thank you for your hard work," Fang Yuan said with a smile.

When it comes to the spiritual veins of a family, which are the foundation of its existence, no amount of caution is too much.

"What are you saying?" Fang Man waved his hands repeatedly. "We must take what Brother Yuan asked us to do seriously."

"Those bastards from the Wang family are all cunning and wicked; they're probably up to no good again this time."

Among the three great families, the Wang family has been established in the county town for the longest time and has always held the top position before the rise of the Fang family.

"Since you're already here, why not stay for a meal? It's just the right time."

Fang Man wanted to decline, but under Fang Yuan's gaze, she had no choice but to stay with a smile.

"This soup is something special."

Before long, all the dishes were served.

Fang Yuan, as the young master of the family, had a special kitchen where he cooked high-quality monster meat, which was full of vital energy.

"A 500-year-old Ganoderma lucidum was added inside, a gift from the Grand Elder."

Fang Yuan picked up the soup spoon, took a small sip, and found that the soup made with old turtle and Ganoderma lucidum was indeed incredibly delicious.

"A five-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, that's a rare find. I have to swallow my pride and drink as much as I can," Fang Man said with a smile.

Five-hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum has rich medicinal properties and excellent effects on strengthening the body and nourishing the vital energy. Even experts at the Innate Realm would be extremely envious of it.

The value is roughly enough to buy a two-bedroom house with a yard on the outskirts of the county town.

"If Fang Hui knew that he was beaten and we were still drinking the Ganoderma lucidum that his father gave us, I wonder what he would think." Fang Man's expression was strange.

At this point, Fang Man suddenly remembered that Fang Hui's elder brother, Fang Yuan, had a duel to attend.

"I've disliked that kid Fang Yuan for a long time. In a couple of days, I'll go and block their door and give those two brothers a good beating."

Only Fang Man would do something like blocking someone's doorway.

Fang Yuan knew that Fang Man wanted to avenge him, but he didn't take these two brothers seriously.

Moreover, Fang Yuan's strength is indeed not weak. Among the younger generation of the Fang family, only Fang Yuan can reliably suppress him.

"You don't believe in my abilities?" Fang Yuan asked with a smile.

Given Fang Man's personality, even if he were not strong enough, he might actually confront Fang Yuan, which is not what he wants to see.

"No way!" Fang Man waved his hands repeatedly, afraid that Fang Yuan would misunderstand.

"Leave this to me, don't get involved."

Fang Yuan slowly stood up, patted Fang Man on the shoulder, and spoke with confidence and domineering tone.

At this moment.

Several images flashed through Fang Man's eyes.

He started relatively late, and his talent didn't emerge until he was twelve years old.

In addition, having lost both his parents at a young age, he had been bullied by others quite a bit, and it was this figure standing in front of him who protected him.

In an instant, the figure from his childhood gradually overlapped with the figure in his present life.

"Young Master, something terrible has happened! Miss Ke'er is going to challenge Young Master Fang Yuan in the arena!"

Xiao Zi rushed over, and her words brought Fang Man back to reality. Fang Yuan frowned slightly.

"This girl is still so decisive and efficient, without considering the consequences."

Fang Yuan glanced at Fang Man, seemingly unintentionally. Fang Man looked a little embarrassed, lowered her eyes slightly, and gave a wry smile.

"Brother Yuan, I swear, I know absolutely nothing about this."

Fang Yuan didn't pay attention to this and turned to head towards the training ground, with Fang Man following closely behind.

……

"You are no match for me."

On the arena stage of the martial arts training ground.

There were two young figures. The man was dressed in a white robe, with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes. He had his hands behind his back and spoke with extreme arrogance.

"Make your move!"

The girl had a pretty face, her black hair cascaded down to her waist, her eyes were like a pool of autumn water, her temperament was aloof, and she spoke very little.

"I would never hit a woman."

Fang Yuan didn't even glance at the girl, looking down at the throng of people below the arena, enjoying the awe-inspiring gazes.

"Fang Ke'er is the most beautiful woman in our family. I wouldn't have the heart to lay a hand on her either."

"What do you mean by that? How do you put our little princess Fang Qingyun?"

Some of the male disciples were not focused on the battle itself, but instead began to discuss the women of their clan.

This drew disdain from some of the female disciples.

"Do you think Fang Ke'er's sudden challenge was to stand up for the young master?"

"No need to even think about it, it's definitely true."

The disciple's response was tinged with jealousy and envy.

As is well known, Fang Ke'er rarely interacts with others in her family, is aloof and reserved, and is a true ice queen.

But the other party was the only exception.

This left many of Fang Ke'er's admirers heartbroken.

They still dare to try for the others.

Fang Yuan was a once-in-a-century genius of the Fang family, the son of the family head, and of noble status, making him incomparable to Fang Yuan.

"Could it be that the young master is truly seriously injured and needs Fang Ke'er to intervene?"

Many disciples, unaware of the situation, began to speculate.

"I don't think so. The young master is such a prodigy, how could he fall so easily?"

A pretty female disciple spoke up to refute.

"I think Fang Ke'er simply can't stand Fang Yuan's arrogant behavior."

Fang Yuan was favored by many women in his generation of the Fang family, and his reputation was obviously very high, with many people supporting him.

"Are you guys concerned about talent?"

Some disciples were unwilling to accept this and could only whisper among themselves.

"You're judging people by their looks, pshaw!"

Fang Yuan, after all, enjoys extremely high prestige among his peers, and most people would not feel that he has fallen from grace.

However, we are still very concerned about the current level of his strength.

"Look, Fang Ke'er has made her move!"
