Yang Fushuoâs words left Fang Yun feeling completely bewildered just after coming into this world.
"Thought realm... what kind of cultivation method is that?"
Had the Cultivation system on Spirit Miao Continent really changed during the years the Fang Family had been in seclusion?
Fang Yun suddenly felt a surge of crisis in his heart.
âNo good, I have to use the Cultivation Technique Gu to probe their Cultivation Techniques...â
Beneath his feet, a tiny Gu worm flew out and quietly latched onto Yang Fushuo to begin its perception, it only needed a bit of time to steal the Cultivation Technique Yang Fushuo was cultivating...
When Yang Fushuo heard this, he shook his head regretfully.
"Little Fang, you... are a classic example of someone with great strength but a frail spirit. After being weak for too long, you finally gain a little cultivation and canât stop talking about it, always keen to show off."
Fang Yun couldnât get a clear read on Yang Fushuoâs intentions; he sounded like an expert...
Even though he was only at the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment.
"Hmm..."
Seeing Fang Yun pondering, Yang Fushuo struck while the iron was hot.
"How about this, starting today, you can hang out with me, and I will explain to you how to elevate your thought realm, to become strong both inside and out..."
"The way fellow Daoist speaks... it does seem to make some sense."
At that moment, the Cultivation Technique Gu returned.
âHow could it be so quick?â
Fang Yun used his perception to check the so-called Cultivation Technique, and then his expression changed drastically!
What trash!
"I take my leave!"
Fang Yun turned on his heel and left, not wanting to waste another word on a cultivator who practiced such trashy Cultivation Techniques and whose strength was merely at the Fifth Layer of Foundation Establishment. Right now, he was barely suppressing his temperament to refrain from killing this noisy fool.
"Hey! Hang on, letâs talk a bit more! Your thought realm canât keep up with your cultivation, itâs bound to lead to trouble later on!"
"Get lost! Another word, and Iâll refine you in an instant!"
Fang Yun left with a face full of exasperation, leaving behind the rabble. He felt ashamed for even a momentâs hesitation.
Yang Fushuo watched Fang Yunâs departing figure, his face filled with regret.
"You see, heâs still talking like that... Itâs a pity, we couldnât unite with that cultivator."
At that moment, one of the Loose Cultivators suddenly sidled up to Yang Fushuo with a sinister air.
"Big brother, since that guy doesnât know whatâs good for him, why donât we just..."
He made a motion, and the other Loose Cultivators nodded in understanding.
"Right, since he doesnât want to be with us, then he doesnât deserve to stay here in the Immortal Palace and compete with us for treasures."
"With one less person, we get a bigger share of the loot."
Yang Fushuo looked at these Loose Cultivators in amazement.
"Have you gone mad... If we could defeat him, would I have bothered talking so much?"
The Fire Dragon scoffed: "At least you have the sense of your own inadequacy... Thatâs one advantage of being a waste."
"You shut up!"
The Loose Cultivators were defiant: "So many of us canât defeat just one of him? Rashah Tiger big brother is also at the peak of Foundation Establishment, immensely powerful, are we still afraid?"
Rashah Tiger was the first among their combat forces, extremely ferocious, second only to Wu Yi.
These Loose Cultivators had joined the group because they couldnât defeat the formidable Rashah Tiger.
Yang Fushuo heaved a sigh.
"Brother Hu, what do you think?"
"This manâs claim of refining someone in an instant... is no joke."
With the keen perception of a member of the Demon Clan, Rashah Tiger knew this was not someone he could afford to provoke.
Yang Fushuo had some thoughts, but... Fang Yun wasnât the type to kill indiscriminately, as he hadnât attacked them, so there was no need for Yang to play his hand and make an enemy of him.
If he couldnât subdue him... It would leave a terrifying threat behind.
Compared to Rashah Tigerâs perceptive abilities, Yang Fushuo had a Character Card given to him by the Elder, which made him even more aware of how terrifying the strength of Fang Yun from the Ancient Immortal Clan really was.
"Huh? Brother Wu Yi, youâre back!"
Rashah Tiger shouted toward the distance.
Whoosh, whoosh!
Wu Yi arrived like the wind, carrying a woman over his shoulder.
He set down Shangguan Yixiao upon landing.
"Junior Brother Yang, Iâve caught the one playing the zither! How should we deal with her?"
Yang Fushuo was struck by disbelief at the sight of the delicate-looking Shangguan Yixiao in Wu Yiâs grasp; just a few days before, she had managed to make many Loose Cultivators kill each other with her music, directly causing the death of 5 people...
Yang Fushuo looked at Shangguan Yixiao, and then shook his head.
"Kill her."
Rashah Tiger bared his teeth: "Roar!"
"Ah!"
Shangguan Yixiao leaped up in fright, then shouted, "Stop! I am from the Shangguan Family! You canât kill me!"
"Whatâs the Shangguan Family good for? Can we eat it or use it? Just kill her and be done, we donât want any more trouble."
"Roar!"
"I wonât play the âSoul-Lossing Songâ anymore, Iâll play the âGolden Spear Iron Horse Songâ, the âCalming Heart Songâ, the âMedicine Fairy Songâ for you! Iâm very strong, we of the Shangguan Family are the best battle support cultivators among the Ancient Immortal Clan!"
"Oh? Sounds like... they could be of some small use. What do those songs do?"
"Our Shangguan Family masters music, able to harness a vast range of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Power with it, and weâre also skilled in various soul-based attacks. âGolden Spear Iron Horse Song,â is my own creation; it can bestow a protective shield as strong as a treasure on allied cultivators, boost their Spiritual Power, and as long as I keep playing, the effect persists, increasing your strength across several minor realms!"
"âCalming Heart Songâ can shield you from various Divine Sense attacks, and âMedicine Fairy Songâ can even heal injuries... I know many other pieces, trust me, the Shangguan Family is definitely the best partner!"
Shangguan Yixiao hurriedly revealed her value, fearful that Yang Fushuo would order her execution without a second thought.
She now loathed Wu Yi, the big oaf! Not only was he unaffected by her music, but he had tricked her!
Too detestable!
Otherwise, she wouldnât have let this group of vulgar people get close to her!
Damn it!
Yang Fushuo was actually well aware of her abilities; after all, her bright, shining Character Card was floating right above her head. Having entered the Immortal Palace, the Elder had kept a close eye on him, and he could get more information from the Elder.
