”What is the Realm Spirit?”
”It used to be the consciousness of the Kun, but it has since been altered by dream masters to become the manager of the Dream Realm. It is neutral!”
Meng Lian cheekily answered. It was evident that she was happy as she had just given a huge contribution.
'Semi-automated manager?'
Fang Yuan rolled his eyes. ”What kind of world is this?'
”Contribution points are the currency of the Dream Realm. You can use it to buy stuff, techniques, information or even hire highly-skilled dream masters to help you do stuff. Every contribution point is hard-earned. Therefore, you must value it as much as how you value your own eyes!”
Meng Lian reminded him.
”Thank you for the reminder!”
Fang Yuan held his fists together.
”At the end of this street is the marketplace for missions. All dream masters would put up missions that they need help with and you can take a look there.”
”Also, in the Dream Realm, the powerful would set up their own bases and have a certain amount of authority. You are a clever man and surely would know the consequence of angering them, right?”
Meng Lian blinked. ”Although the Dream Realm is a peaceful place, Da Qian is not. If you do not want to be taken advantage of as a newcomer, it is best to work with someone powerful... The organisation I am working for is quite influential. If you are considering, please remember to tell me.”
”Of course!”
Fang Yuan smiled. He could feel that other than the contribution points that she could earn, this was the true purpose of Meng Lian bringing him here.
Getting new blood for the organisation was important. Needless to say, he was rather skilled as a dream master.
Furthermore, an identity token from her was already enough to strike fear in the Qin Family. Therefore, he could deduce the influence of the dream master she was working for.
Of course, Fang Yuan did not want to get himself into trouble and therefore casually replied her. He even rejected Meng Lian's invitation and continued his way on the streets.
'This person...'
Looking at Fang Yuan's disappearing silhouette, her eyes glittered. 'He is very wary of me, but this is normal. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to survive till now... My
is supposed to affect his mind, but it had no effect on him! He is not a normal person, and it is such a pity that the Dream Realm forbids us to use dream spells here. Otherwise, I would try planting a lotus print on him!'
”Great technique!”
Along the streets, Fang Yuan could see only a few people, but he did not let his guard down.
Everyone here was a worthy dream master. Looking at the numbers, all the dream masters of Da Qian should be here.
Thinking about Meng Lian's actions, Fang Yuan shuddered.
'That temptation and influence from her was not the simple bewildering spell anymore. It was from her passion and her nature. It is different from the evil spells and therefore I will be unable to guard against it! That lady has an ulterior motive!'
'Although the Dream Realm is great, I would not be so foolish as to be tempted by it and stay here...'
As he smiled, he chose to leave.
”Peng!”
A white fog exploded and a full-grown man suddenly disappeared from the streets. However, the surrounding dream masters were not shocked by it as though they were already used to such occurrences.
...
In the real world.
As the water from the stream trickled outside, the surroundings were peaceful. Next to a green rock, a beautiful lady was hugging her knees and her eyes were closed. It was as though she had just fallen asleep.
”Wow! It seems like the time flow in the Dream Realm and the real world is roughly the same! It seems like not much time has passed...”
Fang Yuan nodded his head and smiled as he looked at Meng Lian, who was still in the Dream Realm.
As a Wu Zong, his spiritual aura was stronger and therefore, he would be more responsive and could awaken faster.
However, the fact that she dared to sleep out in the open meant that she must have some sort of protection in the form of magical equipment.
”Whoosh!”
As his ears twitched, Fang Yuan could detect the sound of wind.
It seemed like a few highly skilled martial artists were on their way here.
'Forget it...'
He gave a mysterious look as he looked at Meng Lian. 'Although you had other motives, you did introduce me to the Dream Realm. I'll let you off this time!'
”Rumble!”
Three spiritual meridians appeared on his body, forming a spiritual armour.
The few martial artists immediately knew that they were being discovered. From then, they came out of hiding and rushed towards the cave using their elemental force.
Fang Yuan could detect that the person in front was Meng Lian's coachman the other day.
Based on his current abilities, it was possible for Fang Yuan to capture all of them. However, Meng Lian might have a treasure on her from a powerful dream master and therefore, it was not worth it to risk offending the powerful dream master.
With that, Fang Yuan sighed and tapped his feet lightly on the ground. Quickly, he leapt onto a tree branch and soon disappeared.
”Mistress!”
As the few Wu Zongs arrived at the river, they all heaved a sigh a relief seeing that Meng Lian was unharmed. Quickly, they guarded the surroundings.
After a while, Meng Lian's eyebrows twitched as she opened her eyes. ”Where is he?”
”We are useless. He has gotten away!”
The person in front knelt down and asked for forgiveness.
”The few of you together can defeat a Wu Zong in the Meridian Opening Stage! How could you let him get away? And it's remarkable how he can recover from the dream world so quickly...”
Meng Lian blinked her eyes. ”Indeed, talents come from everywhere!”
She did not think about the fact that if she did not harbour evil thoughts against Fang Yuan, he might not have been so alert.
