”That person is highly skilled in martial arts and is in the Meridian Opening Stage. Please be careful, Divine Lady!”
As her subordinate reported, Meng Lian's expression changed.
”Got it... Fang Yuan, hmm?”
Looking in the direction which Fang Yuan left in, her eyes were filled with curiosity.
How could someone reach such a cultivation level in both martial arts and spiritual knight cultivation?
Who is this Fang Yuan?
...
On the 15th day, the Qin Family gathering was held.
As the Qin Siblings appeared, they were welcomed. Qin Yun was unanimously recommended to be the heir and the next family head and everything went smoothly like it was a dream.
As for the First Wife Lady Xu, news spread that she had died of illness. Of course, the Qin Siblings knew the real cause of her death and from then on, they had more respect and fear for Fang Yuan.
”The seeds have finally germinated. Next would be to wait for them to mature for harvest!”
Fang Yuan was constantly monitoring the movement of the Qin Family from the shadows.
Once Qin Yun took over as family head, he no longer appeared and seemed to have left.
”Alright, now is the time to explore the Dream Realm!”
In an underground cave, Fang Yuan appeared solemn. Shutting his eyes, he commenced his dream accessing technique.
Countless dream worlds appeared and were represented by bubbles. Suddenly, all of them exploded.
A familiar spiritual aura was felt, and he walked straight into it without reservations.
The defence of the Dream Realm was almost nonexistent.
”Whoosh!”
As a glow flashed, the familiar corner of the street appeared.
”If I join any organisation, I would appear in their bases. But now, I am a lone cultivator, and can only depend on fate to see where I will appear?”
Fang Yuan snapped his fingers as a layer of fog shrouded over him.
Every dream master who came here would use such a technique to conceal their identity, making everything in the Dream Realm mysterious.
As he walked along the street, he started to examine everything.
”Spiritual objects? Techniques?”
Fang Yuan was already speechless as he arrived at a random spiritual plant shop.
On the counter, large amounts of spiritual plants were placed casually. Most of the spiritual plants were of Yellow Grade, and there were plants of Mysterious Grade as well. All of these were sold by weight and only the Earth Grade spiritual plants and above were given shelves of their own.
”These are... real objects! They are not created by dream masters!”
As someone who was in the Illusionary Divine Stage, he could recognise the difference the moment he picked up a purple Three Petalled Flower. It was not an object actualised by dream masters.
”It's real?”
He subconsciously muttered it out.
”Hey, are you new here?”
Behind the counter, a dream master wearing a ghost mask laughed. ”If the Dream Realm could only trade information, what would be so useful about it? If you are a normal dream master, we can deliver it to any county within Da Qian Empire as long as you pay enough elemental crystals. Of course, if you are an Illusionary Divine dream master, you can accept it directly into your actualised dream world. Do you understand what I am talking about?”
Accepting it into the actualised dream world would mean that it could be immediately actualised and the dream elemental force used would not be Fang Yuan's own one.
He knew this, but under the sceptical eyes of the shopkeeper, he quickly left.
”Wouldn't it be an immediate delivery to deliver it directly to the actualised dream world?”
Walking along the streets and looking at the lively scene on both sides of the street, Fang Yuan was stunned.
”Can the actualised dream world accept real items? How does it work for the object to be actualised out?”
It was a sudden realisation that Fang Yuan knew too little about his profession as a dream master.
On the streets, there were many different stalls ranging from weapons stalls to spiritual pills and medicine. There were also spiritual arrays and everything was here. However, the cheapest would already cost an elemental crystal. For more expensive goods, contribution points were required.
Although he had collected quite a lot of spiritual treasures and had an entire spiritual land to himself, he still could not be considered wealthy.
At the end of the street, he arrived at an empty square.
”Whoosh!”
A hot stream of air gushed into his face, bringing him to another world.
Many dream masters were walking about in the square. Some of them were covered in a layer of fog, some ever wearing a hat and some bared it all. Occasionally, they would notice the middle of the square, and everyone was talking at the top of their voices. It was extremely lively.
”This is...”
In the middle of the square, there was a huge rock tablet. It was squarish in nature and was a pure black.
On the surface of the rock tablet, Da Qian words were carved in it and they were glowing with spiritual light. It was shimmering and attracted the attention of many.
”Buy for me a Three Eyed Grass, and I will pay you 5 contribution points!”
”Looking for a spiritual array master. Interested parties, please contact me!”
”Master Danfeng has a mission - forming a party! Require help to explore a secret world, requesting help from dream masters Illusionary Divine Stage and above. Must obey instructions and be agreeable to the splitting of loot...”
”Selling Limb Regeneration Pills. One pill for 20 contribution points! Made from a revered alchemy master, and the quality is guaranteed!”
...
Many messages appeared which confused Fang Yuan for a bit.
As he was reading the messages, he could see dream masters taking the initiative to walk up. They would place their own jade inscription plates on the rock tablet and leave hurriedly. From there, he could roughly guess how everything worked.
