140 Level 5 (2/2)
It was a pity that he did not have the chance to access Lu Renjia's dream to unveil this secret.
Based on his prediction, Lu Renjia only knew that this seed was valuable, but did not know its real value!
”Value!”
After recovering from his shock, Fang Yuan was overjoyed. ”With the breakthrough in my [Botany], even if I get nothing from this journey, it would still be worth it!”
He only said this after noticing the description of his [Botany (Level 5)]:
”[Botany (Level 5)] - You are a grandmaster in the world of botany! All plants that go through your hands will evolve special traits, and their maturity period will also be shortened!”
This ability of his was rather god-like.
After this tip, Fang Yuan immediately thought of the Vermilion Fruit back at home.
With spiritual fertilizer, spiritual land and his own abilities, it was possible to mature the Vermilion Fruit's shoot.
”Great, this is great!”
Fang Yuan nodded his head, and looked at his stats window:
”Name: Fang Yuan
Essence: 11
Spirit: 11
Magic: 9.5
Profession: Dream Master
Cultivation: [Dream-Building Master (High Elemental Gathering Stage)], Wu Zong
Technique: [Eagle Claw Iron Skin Technique (Grade 13) (???)], Ecstasy Spell, Shadowstep
Skill: [Medicine (Level 3)], [Botany (Level 5)]”
Consuming the Flame Jade Rice, cultivating the way of a dream master and this breakthrough now all led to the big change in his stats window.
”In the future, Xia Country will be in a mess. To hold my ground, I need to have real strength and ability!”
Fang Yuan clenched his fist, full of anticipation.
...
Summer Sun Prefecture.
As Fang Yuan was visiting Lu Renjia's secret mansion, a devastating thing happened in Summer Sun Prefecture.
Because of complacency, the Summer Sun Prefecture's three cities were invaded in one day as the Prefecture Master's power was at stake.
The sunset was red as blood.
In a faraway city, there was chaos as people were fighting.
Waves of uniformed Secluded Mountain Prefecture soldiers were killing their way in but were made to halt by the arrow rain, which made them eventually retreat back embarrassingly.
”Prefecture Master!”
In front of the capital leaders, Xiang Zilong's eyes were bloodshot as he kneeled in front of Liu Yan. ”Why not take a rest here for the night! We can surely take down Huangshi City tomorrow!”
”Hmph, a bunch of useless fools!”
Liu Yan was clad in golden armour as he witnessed the Secluded Mountain Prefecture soldiers being pierced by the arrows, as he exclaimed.
”I made an effort to leave the inexperienced soldiers to defend at the counties, and brought the experienced once here, and yet we still need so much effort to invade a district town!”
His eyebrows were twitching, showing his anger.
”A Wu Zong is now in charge of Huangshi City, and is therefore different from last time! Furthermore... Our troops have taken down three cities already, and are all worn out... I deserve to die!”
Xiang Zilong tried to explain, and as he looked at Liu Yan's eye, he shivered and apologised.
”Keke... Don't worry, Prefecture Master!”
Taoist Mu Li, who was at one side, chuckled. ”Our army is tired, and the enemy's arrows are almost used up. Later, I shall aid our soldiers to take down this city!”
”Chirp! Chirp!”
After finishing his sentence, he leapt on the Wind Chasing Falcon and disappeared.
Not long after, a green spiritual light appeared from the city walls, accompanying a certain Wu Zong's rage.
Seeing this opportunity, the Secluded Mountain Prefecture soldiers tried to attack once more and finally opened the city gates. Everyone squeezed in and brought the fight to the alleys.
”Very well, since the enemy is stupid, pass the order down to burn down the entire city!”
Liu Yan witnessed this scene and passed down the order.
”What?”
Xiang Zilong was shocked. ”Prefecture Master, please reconsider. The common people are innocent...
”Hmph! This entire city's people are all rebels and are against me, and I shall treat all of them the same!”
Liu Yan snickered. ”If I don't do this, how do I strike fear in the enemy? I am decided, so stop trying to make me reconsider!”
He not only ordered to burn the city but also personally joined in. In the city, the nine green fire dragons were flying about, and thick smoke filled the sky; the entire city became hell.
”If you hate me, come fight me!”
Seeing the entire city becoming like hell, Liu Yan remained emotionless. He held a blood-coloured jade in his right hand. ”For me to break through, this sin is nothing!”
