331 Guardian of the Prosperous Land (1/2)

Golden Sun City.

The caravan entered the city and stopped in front of a mansion. With a few shouts, the goods were being shifted. A few consultants were staring at the helpers as they shifted the goods.

”Lord Fang, are you feeling better?”

A few days before they had arrived, Fang Yuan had already regained the ability to move. He occasionally left the carriage to take a walk and talk with the people of the caravan. By now, he was already rather familiar with the head of the caravan.

The Young Master of the He Family was He Qing. He had a young mindset but was also shrewd for his age. However, that was all.

”Hmm, thank you, Lord He, for your assistance. I must leave today. Your kindness will be rewarded in the future...”

Fang Yuan smiled.

To him, He Qing did not save his life, but rather, assisted him in times of difficulty. Although his intentions were slightly ill, he did not let his heart rule his head. Therefore, Fang Yuan would still repay him for his efforts.

”Lord, are you leaving?”

He Qing was shocked. ”Did we treat you with disrespect?”

Based on his observations for the past few days, he realised that Fang Yuan was not a normal person. Sun Ergou's encounter was the best evidence. Therefore, he had plotted to establish good relations with Fang Yuan.

Although Fang Yuan was young, he was matured. His foresight, demeanour and the way he spoke was vastly different from a normal young man. Therefore, He Qing had unknowingly gained respect for him.

”Fate cannot be forced upon. Furthermore, I cannot trouble you for any period longer than this... This Golden Sun City seems rather hospitable. I am deciding to stay here for a period of time. After I have settled down, I will write a letter to you... With this, I shall wish you all the best in joining the Three Suns Sect!”

”Thank you for your well wishes!”

He Qing respectfully sent him off. As he looked at Fang Yuan's back view, he felt as though he had lost something important.

”Young Master?”

A consultant approached him. ”The various goods have been shifted into the storeroom. The checks have been completed. Together with the few times that we have traded along the way, we have a total of 50,000 elemental crystals. This is the accumulated amount that your family have given you. We have already prepared the gifts for your future fellow disciples, master and those that you might need to establish relations with!”

”Mmm, alright!”

He Qing snapped out of his trance and had a cold look in his eyes. ”And... what about Sun Ergou?”

”I have followed your orders to chop off one of his limbs, as a punishment to warn the others!”

The consultant immediately replied and broke into cold sweat.

Based on his Young Master, the person which they had rescued was likely to be a spiritual knight. Therefore, they could not afford to show him any disrespect.

”Also, Little Ju has been promoted to become the head of the servants. Her pay has been increased to 10 taels per month!”

He Qing heaved a huge sigh. ”Although he might not remember us, we should still remain hopeful... there is nothing wrong with being prepared!”

”Young Master, you're wise!”

Consultant He took a bow and gained respect for this young master.

The He Family had risen 7 generations ago. Although they were not considered the most senior of families, it was already considered a gamble for them to send their young master to seek a dream master as a master.

Seeing the conscientious young master was like seeing hope for the family.

As long as he manages to become a dream master, their family would be able to progress by leaps and bounds!

...

”Three Suns Sect in the Golden Sun City... He Qing is rather fated to have met me!”

As Fang Yuan went on his way, there was a mysterious smile on his face.

Although the Three Suns Sect was well-known in the city, it was, in reality, only a small sect with a thousand followers. They had 10 Wu Zongs and 5 spiritual knights in the upper management and a dream master as the sect head. This dream master was likely to be a dream master at the 5th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage.

Among big sects across the regions, it was only common for these sects to have at least a True Divine, True Elemental, or a dream master at the 7th Tier of the Illusionary Divine stage before the sect could be considered stable.

Of course, being a small family, it was already quite a thing for the He Family to be able to attempt to join the Three Suns Sect. They would rather be the weakling amongst the strong than be the strong among the weaklings.

”He Qing was aiming at joining the direct disciples of the sect. It would be meaningless for him to become an outer disciple, inner disciple or even a core disciple... He would have wasted his potential in becoming a dream master...”

”However... the head of Three Suns Sect is also a member of the Realm Alliance. The Three Suns Sect can be seen as the exterior influence of the Realm Alliance... I shall spend some effort and help him out as a form of repaying him for his kindness!”

As soon as he found himself an inn, he entered the Dream Realm.

”I am heartened to hear that you, my husband, are alright! I have bought the 9 Smelting Techniques and have hidden it in the Dream Realm for you to retrieve...”

As soon as he looked at his inscription plate, he saw Liu Mengmei's reply and an indication of a certain location.

After all, she was still a reserved Divine Lady of the Divine Lotus Cult and had to consider the fact that onlookers would be looking if she were to meet Fang Yuan face to face. However, she had described a path to the location of the 9 Smelting Techniques and had assured him that it was completely safe.

After receiving the information, Fang Yuan did not think further and rushed on the streets. Soon after, he turned into an alley.

The buildings in the Dream Realm were districts which were split up by the Realm Spirit based on how much contribution points they were paid for. This dark alley was extremely deserted and at the end of the alley, there was a wall. At the corner, there was a dark-coloured mark.

”This is the so-called black market. If it is as such in the realm of dream masters, I can safely assume that the goods being traded on the black market are nothing proper...”

As he pressed against the dark-coloured mark, the wall in front of him started to cave in, revealing a hidden pathway.

The pathway was extremely short. As soon as he walked to the end of it, he saw a small shop. There was no signboard and the door was aged, as though it would crumble at any moment.

Without hesitation, Fang Yuan took a step in and looked at the counter.

This shop was like a grocery store as it displayed many items on the shelves. However, none of the items had a description of its usage, and it was up to one to deduce the purpose and function of these items.

As Fang Yuan scanned across, his attention was drawn to a crystal box on a small purple carriage.

”I've seen this in the recordings before. It is known as the Purple Blood Carriage and can fly in the skies at an extreme speed... However, the process of making it is extremely inhumane. If I remember correctly, one of the ingredients includes the blood from 49 pregnant mothers. Furthermore, these pregnant mothers need to have a certain level of cultivation and be suited before the blood is drawn from them...”

It was obvious that this shop not only sold improper goods but restricted goods as well.
