336 Meaning in Cultivation (1/2)
Dream Realm.
Fang Yuan strolled along the streets of the Dream Realm. The public area formed by the gigantic Kun beast was bustling as always.
Numerous dream masters had a mysterious light shining from them to conceal their body. They walked along the busy streets and gathered at the four-sided stone tablet in the centre to trade or to browse through their missions.
”The dream master who conceptualised and built this Dream Realm is really a genius!”
As Fang Yuan looked at the streets, he sighed and thought, ”Absolute power corrupts absolutely! With great power, people would vie for greater authority and status... The Dream Realm enables every dream master in the entire Da Qian to progress rapidly and form groups. Naturally, they would then vie for the absolute power of the whole world! This has nothing to do with being good or evil, it is a natural instinct!”
Although there was a neutral Realm Alliance and a good Baize Mountain within the 5 Grand Organisations, Fang Yuan gained new understandings from the event at Changli Mountain Hollows.
”In the end, doesn't matter if good or evil, we are all dream masters... Thus, we cannot tolerate betrayers. Just from the way the 5 Grand Organisations publicised about the Hidden Dragon Guards, it can be told that they share the same bitter hatred against the common enemy. If only there weren't some internal disputes regarding the benefits that couldn't be resolved, I guess Da Qian would have descended into chaos?”
Fang Yuan went to the Realm Alliance Mountain instead of the public square.
Ever since he received the level of rights, although he could set Realm Alliance Mountain as his main location to be transported to, Fang Yuan still preferred to be transported into the public area.
”After the rank of 4th Leaf Cultivator, one could set a Green Bronze Hall as his location to conduct all sorts of training and experiments...”
In reality, there were still many benefits in joining the Realm Alliance.
The Realm Alliance greatly helped Fang Yuan. Examples included the help he received to fight against the Divine Lotus Cult and also the position of Golden Sun Prosperous Land's guardian.
”Therefore, I still have to stay in Realm Alliance! Dream masters without an organisation usually do not live for long... especially during such a period where conflicts are becoming more intense!”
Fang Yuan had a premonition that the conflict between dream masters and Da Qian's royalties were becoming more and more intense, as though it was about to explode!
Perhaps the recent events at Changli Mountain Hollows were merely just a presage and the real tragedies awaited.
As Fang Yuan came near the rock tablet of the Realm Alliance, he found a pavilion and sat down. He then sent a message, ”Ye Sisters, I have reached!”
”Please wait a moment, brother Fang Yuan...”
The inscription plate glowed and not before long, the two sisters arrived hand in hand. The elder sister was forthright as usual and sat down immediately. Whereas, the younger sister's cheeks were slightly red and she was shyly looking around.
”Seems like there's something wrong, her attitude is different...” Fang Yuan thought for a moment.
He did not care further and then asked, ”You contacted me and said you have found the technique?”
”Indeed! Here's the Red Night 9 Smelting Technique!”
Ye Shuhua took out a blood-red coloured crystal and said, ”This technique is created by a dream master at the 7th Tier of Illusionary Divine. It can banish evil forces and is extremely expensive... however, as my family is still rather reputable, it was found in a family friend's hidden library!”
”Many thanks!”
Fang Yuan received the crystal. As he peeked into the blood-red crystal, he saw a paragraph of wondrous words.
Furthermore, as he compared it to the 9 Smelting Technique Liu Mengmei sent over, he saw that the two were perfectly linked together. Hence, he believed the sisters and assured, ”Since I have already received the deposit, rest assured that I will handle that Li Bai and even the Li Qin behind him!”
This was because Fang Yuan also had backings behind him, which were Elder Smelter and Feng Xinzi.
Although it is said that relationships were meant to be cultivated, in actual facts, such favours should be used quickly or else it would bring about greater troubles and resentment.
This time around, with how Ye Shuhua quickly found the technique and closed the deal, it was also a way to put an end to their relationship.
From then on, the two parties no longer owed each other anything.
This was natural for Fang Yuan.
Ye Shuhua stood up slowly and bowed to him. She then dragged her sister who seemed like she wanted to speak and yet did not.
Fang Yuan remained seated and appeared to be waiting for someone.
Indeed, not long after, a middle-aged man came over. He was handsome and had a tall hat; he was calm and at ease. Behind him was an arrogant and haughty looking Li Bai that made Fang Yuan thought of a big cock.
The middle-aged man walked forward and sat in front Fang Yuan. He then spoke in a straightforward manner and sincere voice. He did not sound like he was showing off.
”My name is Li Qin, a dream master at the 4th Tier of Illusionary Divine! A 4th Leaf Cultivator in the alliance!”
”Eh... so what?”
Fang Yuan gave a wry smile.
Fang Yuan had to do his utmost since he made the deal. Just because the man said all those did not mean that Fang Yuan had to respectfully step down.
”Similar... so similar!”
Li Qin lamented, ”Seeing you is like seeing the young me! I used to be like you, so witty and sharp, just like a sharp sword out of its sheath! But as someone who used to be like that, I have to advise you to know your place and limits... don't be too brash, else you would have lots of troubles ahead of you! This is coming from an experienced man!”
This man was interesting. He did not mention the Ye sisters nor did he abuse Fang Yuan with his position. Instead, he was like an old grandfather that shared his life experiences and gave warm pieces of advice.
However, Fang Yuan's gaze changed at once and he began laughing, ”Old fogey... you are out of date!”
”Eh? What did you say?”
Li Qin's eyes flashed with a cold light; it was as though cracking noises could be heard from the surrounding.
Behind Li Qin, Li Bai covered his mouth in shock. He felt Fang Yuan was extremely insolent and thought to himself. How dare he criticised his grandfather, was he tired of living?
