43 Fawn (1/2)
A silver flash.
Two neat rows of silver ingots were so heavy the servant carrying it felt numbness in his hands.
Fang Yuan ignored the ingots, as compared to gold and silver, he preferred the box of realgar powder.
”Zhang Han? You're from the Zhang Family?”
He looked at their leader and had a mischievous look in his eyes. ”Do you recognise me?”
He knew that it was probably the shopkeeper who told the Zhang Family about him, and the Zhang Family's influence was indeed strong; they could prepare the silver ingots and realgar powder in such a short period of time and even locate Fang Yuan to present him these gifts.
The new families within Qingye City were indeed capable.
”I do... Master Fang with magical healing abilities that saved Master Zhou from the brink of death, you are indeed the God of Medicine!”
Zhang Han smiled.
The news which actually shocked them was how Fang Yuan defeated Song Zhong in the county.
Elder Song was the God of Killing in the eyes of those in Qingye City.
So what if the Zhou Family was the strongest family in the city? So what if Master Zhou was the deacon of Spirit Returning Sect? If Song Zhong wanted the family to perish then they shall go!
But even the unruly Song Zhong died in the hands of Fang Yuan, so who would dare to offend him? Whoever wanted to survive in Qingye City would have to suck up to him.
'Based on my master's predictions, this person is probably a skilled martial artist who can harness inner force, but he is so young...'
Zhang Han looked at Fang Yuan's face with admiration.
”I did not do anything to deserve this!”
Fang Yuan waved his hand to reject. ”I cannot accept all these gifts!”
”Master is unsatisfied? Just tell us what you want, we will make it happen!”
Seeing Fang Yuan's rejection, Zhang Han became anxious. After all, he was tasked by his family to make friends with this highly skilled doctor.
”I'm serious!”
Fang Yuan replied in a serious tone.
Since living with Master Wenxin in the Secluded Valley, both of them had weird temperaments.
Whatever they wanted, they would get for themselves, or trade with others, but they never received offerings from others.
Based on Master Wenxin's explanation, it was hard to repay the favour if they accepted the gifts.
Thinking about it, only Old Tian, Minister Lin and a few other lucky ones had better relationships with the Secluded Valley and Fang Yuan only traded with them.
”Leave!”
Fang Yuan waved his hands.
”Master...”
Zhang Han bit his lips. In front of this young man, he felt pressured, and could not retaliate. He had no choice but to bring his servants back.
”If I accept rewards without doing deeds, I am no different from a thief!”
Fang Yuan looked at their silhouette and shook his head.
Unknowingly, he became the strongest influence within Qingye City.
After all, Old Zhou of the Zhou Family only broke through the 5th Gate and was a deacon of the Spirit Returning Sect, but that was all.
”Zhang Family, Guo Family were new families in the region, and they must have a few [Martial Artist (4th/5th Gate)]... Lin Family is even worse, as they only earned their reputation through Lin Leiyue in the Spirit Returning Sect...”
Fang Yuan thought for a while and became speechless.
A tiny Qingye City gave him a feeling that there were no true heroes, but many small contenders who fought for power.
”The world is huge, and Qingye City is too small. It's like the outskirts of the outskirts... Even the entire Qinghe County was just a small secluded place...”
Fang Yuan was resolute on his viewpoint.
'After I have trained hard enough, I must explore the world and see for myself the wonders around the world!'
'Of course, I'll have to take it step by step, and now, the most important is for me to break through the 3 Perilous Gates!'
The 7th Gate was the Shock Gate. After breaking through it, he would reach where Song Zhong once achieved.
Fang Yuan was extremely confident of himself.
”Shock Gate oh Shock Gate, harming the essence and manipulating the magic... This should be a test of a martial artists' magic level! With the help of the Questioning Heart Tea and the Meditative Tea Ceremony, I am unafraid of this perilous gate...”
”And as for the 8th Gate, the Death Gate, If I don't succeed, I will die. It is closely related to a martial artist's' Essence, Spirit and Magic points. My guess is that the higher one's stats are, the greater the possibility of breaking through!”
Fang Yuan was extremely clear about the first 8 Gates and had no other doubts.
”If I break through the Death Gate and enter the 4 Heavenly Gates, I can indeed have my own way around Qinghe County. As for the Spirit Returning Sect, even the elders will have to make way for me!”
In the 12 Golden Gates, the 4 Heavenly Gates would come after the first 8 Gates!
Martial artists with such a cultivation level were among the strongest in the region and had the ability to start their own small clan. Even within Spirit Returning Sect, they could start a clan and create trouble.
”Under my care, the Flower Fox Ferret should be on par with [Martial Artists (7th/8th Gate)], similar to that of the red-eyed white birds. As for the bird king, its ability should be comparable to the ability of a martial artist in the 4 Heavenly Gates...”
Thinking of those spiritual beasts, Fang Yuan became vexed.
Without getting rid of all the red-eyed white birds, how could he take over Green Peak spiritual land?
As for the spiritual fertilizer, its magical capabilities would only increase after a long time, and new produce would not have much use. After taking over the spiritual land, those new produce would be able to aid the spiritual plants in their growth.
