Chapter 122: Traveling Together
After some thought, Fang Chen gave Big Cat the Daoist name "Tiger Mountain Lord" and Little Green the Daoist name "Profound Green." The two little demons were extremely delighted, and their eyes seemed to even shine with gratitude.
The strength of these three demons was not a concern to Fang Chen. With a single Purple Lightning Talisman, or even with Xu Ge, he could easily deal with them. However, for an ordinary martial artist, the strength of Victorious Buddha, which was equivalent to the peak of the Qi Manipulation Stage with his three condensed immortal veins, was well considered formidable.
Tiger Mountain Lord and Profound Green were certainly slightly weaker than Victorious Buddha, as they had only condensed two immortal veins; however, the unique nature of spiritual energy would make it difficult for martial artists to break through their defenses. So, as long as they didn't face cultivators, then their fighting prowess would be amongst the top in the southern region!
"This is the first five layers of the Purple Qi Technique.” Fang Chen took out three copies of the manual and proffered it to them. The three were quivering with excitement as they received the manuals with great respect.
“The immortal veins you’ve previously condensed by absorbing and accumulating the spiritual power of the ice spring are unorthodox and chaotic. That’s why, you have to cultivate diligently in the future to recondense your immortal veins and lay a more solid foundation. Only then would you have the chance to reach higher realms. Because Victorious Buddha is an ape, he was able to learn how to speak eariler than both of you. You might have to reach the fourth or even fifth stage of Qi Refining Realm to be able to speak. You must work harder from now on."
"Thank you, Master, thank you." Victorious Buddha bowed and bowed as tears streamed down his face.
"Here are thirty low-grade spirit stones. Their effects should be a little better than the water of the spiritual spring. Here, take them.” Fang Chen handed each of the three demons ten low-grade spirit stones. “These should be enough for your cultivation for the time being."
With their cultivations, a single low-grade spirit stone would be sufficient for one or two months.
"What rich and pure spiritual energy!"
Demons were naturally sensitive to natural spiritual energy, not to mention the three of them had cultivated. They immediately sensed the rich and majestic spiritual energy contained within the spirit stones. These were treasures!
When they thought of how Fang Chen had not only imparted a cultivation technique to them, but had also gifted them treasures for their own cultivation, they felt even more grateful. They felt as if they had encountered a great opportunity and no longer had to endure hardships; they now had someone to rely on!
"By the way." Fang Chen sent his divine sense into the storage ring and searched around inside for a moment.
He had remembered that the cultivators from the Southern Sky Sect had left behind several treasures. Treasures were different from talismans; they could only be activated with spiritual energy, so Xu Ge and the rest couldn’t use them.
He had found three suitable treasures at the time, namely a long sword with four Soul Imprints, a bell with three Soul Imprints, and a collar with three Soul Imprints.
He then gave the longsword to Victorious Buddha, the bell to Tiger Mountain Lord, and the collar to Profound Green.
"These three treasures still have their original owners’ imprint on them. After you refine them, you can use them as your own."
The three demons felt as if they were dreaming. Cultivation methods, spirit stones, treasures—they had never dreamed of obtaining even one of these. However, they received all three today!
Original owners’ imprints?
They suddenly realized the deeper meaning behind Fang Chen’s words, and his figure in their eyes became even more exalted. He had to have killed many immortal masters to obtain so many treasures!
Since he was able to kill so many immortal masters, he had to undoubtedly be one of the strongest immortal masters!
Fang Chen glanced at his storage ring. There were still two hundred and seven low-grade spirit stones, various talismans, and several treasures left, including the dragon truncheon, Qingmu Puppet, Golden Bowl, as well as several more treasures obtained from the Southern Sky Sect cultivators. His wealth had far exceeded other cultivators at the the fifth stage of the Qi Refining Realm.
"I will send some people to build a manor near the spiritual spring in the next few days. Keep an eye on the wild beasts around here while you cultivate. Don’t let them disturb the workers. If you have any questions regarding cultivation, we can talk about them after I’m back,” instructed Fang Chen before he turned to leave.
The three demons reluctantly saw him off until they reached the foot of the mountain and watched him leave.
After he disappeared from their view, Victorious Buddha sighed. "Second Brother, Third Sister,” he called, “Master did not take the words of ancient books to heart and did not discriminate against us demons. He even bestowed upon us a cultivation technique, spirit stones and treasures. From today onwards, we must treat him as we would a father. We must never disappoint him.”
"Hiss. Hiss. Hiss. (Senior Brother, I'll go and swallow those guys to prevent them from disturbing the people from Master’s clan)."
"Roar (Yes)."
Victorious Buddha shook his head, then said, "No, warning them is enough. Let’s remain in the vicinity for now. Even though they haven’t attained enlightenment, who knows if they’ll encounter a stroke of fortune of their own in the future, like us. Don't sever their path to immortality."
"Hiss (I'll listen to you)."
"Roar (Alright)."
The three demons left, but not far. They lurked in different spots, keeping watch and preventing the wild beasts from disturbing the Fang Family members.
The night passed quietly, and in the morning, the villagers who came to fetch water were surprised to see that nothing had happened to the Fang Family.
Zhong Ying, along with her junior brothers and sisters stood near the entrance as they bade farewell to Fang Chen and the rest. "Everyone, we still need to rush to the Profound Blade Sect, so we will take our leave."
Fang Chen didn't return the farewell and instead clasped his hands, saying, "Lady Zhong, I am very interested in the affairs of the martial scene. I’ve always wanted to visit the Profound Blade Sect and broaden my horizons. I wonder if it’s okay for me and my servant to join you on your journey."
At his side, Yuan Zhuang, who had been acting as his servant, had a strange expression creep up his face.
Hearing that, Fang Zhixue had the urge to butt in and say that she wanted to join in on the fun too, but she suddenly remembered that the spiritual energy around the spring here was abundant and she really wanted to condense her first immortal vein, so, in the end, she pushed those mischievous thoughts back and set her mind to cultivate assiduously!
"Lord Li, you can't even see. Don’t you think that it would be for the better if you stayed here and didn’t join in the “excitement”? This involves hundreds of sects in the southern region, big and small. We won’t be able to protect you if anything happens," said one of the disciples from Azure Point Sect.
Zhong Ying shared the same view. Just as she was about to refuse Fang Chen politely, she saw him pointing to Yuan Zhuang and saying, “My servant’s cultivation is pretty decent; he’s at the Qi Detonation Stage. He can ensure my safety.”
Yuan Zhuang caught the cue and slowly circulated his internal energy, catching Zhong Ying and the others by surprise. They hadn't expected that inconspicuous guy to be a Qi Detonation martial artist!
Such cultivation levels were considered top-notch in the southern region. From the early Qi Detonation Stage to the peak Qi Detonation Stage, all of them belonged to the top category. Upon reaching Qi Manipulation, one would be considered a peak expert.
“Indeed, people from wealthy families even have Qi Detonation martial artists as servants.” a disciple from the Azure Point Sword Sect commented with a strange expression.
Looking at Yuan Zhuang, their eyes carried a hint of disdain. In the southern region, few martial artists allowed themselves to lower their heads and serve ordinary people for a few pieces of silver.
“Since that’s the case, you can accompany us” After some consideration, Zhong Ying nodded in agreement. After all, they had treated them very well last night, and this could be considered as repaying the favor.
