Chapter 24 (2/2)

Just as Hua was about to turn around, he noticed the boy looking at hi an inch It was then that he realized what the extra gold leaf inside the cloth bag was for; he passed the leaf over to the daotong with a wave ”You can go now”

The daotong held on to the golden leaf and gave an excited reply, ”Now I can tell you the last part That shi+xiong also said, if you planned on finding out who he is by following me, h— he will not show up at all”

Indeed, Hua had actually planned to tail behind the boy at his departure, but hearing these words left Hua startled at just howhis hands once inal plan had been to follow the boy to find out who this mysterious man actually was, but since his plan had been laid bare, there was no point in hi to do it anymore

After Fang Xing left Hua's cottage, he felt a sense of corew up in a bandit nest, after all, and by eleven years old he had already tagged along with his seventh and eighth uncle in the shady businesses of kidnapping and ransory and confused but without any progress, and all of the tricks his uncles had used had also been i had to do was alter it slightly to suit the situation and Hua had already beco to be butchered

Trusting that there shouldn't be any probleh spirits Since Hua had said it would be ready in seven days, Fang Xing wasn't worried; he'd just have to return when it was finished In the ti with the Qi fluctuations in order to prepare for the days to come

It beca had stepped into tier two, using the sarown h a streamlet had turned into a full-sized stream, and the amount of water that was required to fill it washis fluctuations using Spirit Stones of the sa the exact sa sizes: the time and effort it took for them to be completely filled would be vastly different

Under normal circumstances, with an abundance of resources it would usually take approxi of tier one to reach its peak At tier two, it would take up to half a year before tier two's peak was achieved

Once someone reached the peak—or the mastery of the tier—they would then have to try to break through into the tier above The process itself was also tihly dependent upon luck and zi'zhi; soh” simple and effortless and required no ht end up dwelling on the peak of a tier for years on end without ever going higher

A cultivator would consuh fluctuation practice, but when breaking through a bottleneck, a combination of zi'zhi, willpower, assistance fro factors

Accuh: cultivation's quantity and quality Only when both conditions had been met could it be said that cultivation was truly practiced

Of course, every breakthrough brought with it vast advantages that would have been impossible before

Though Fang Xing had not learned any spells yet, he could feel the abundance of energy and vitality within hier than he was before, and he could even spend fewer hours on sleep without sacrificing his physical strength and health

After so stopped his fluctuations to practice soht now simply took too much time he didn't have

Fang Xing stood up inside his wooden cottage, taking out his dagger and tucking his long robe into his pants Wherever the dagger could be seen passing, rays of white light would folloishi+ng froure closely reseh up into the air to pierce places that were far beyond his reach, i his enemies to be adults; every enemy he had faced up to now had been an adult, even back when he was at the bandit nest

At age four, he had been thrown into a house filled with mad hounds

Age five, he had faced off against a one-year-old wolfling with his bare hands

Six, he had been taken away by town officials, hanged by his feet on a tree, and then whipped until he was left an inch away fro breath

Seven, he had singlehandedly poisoned a traitor of the Guiyan Valley who had wanted to take hie to threaten his uncles

Eight, nine, and ten, cruel and gruesoination had been expected of him

Every one of his nine uncles had been good to hiood people

Fang Xing believed that the hteous Even if he himself were to be killed, there would not be any injustice done; he was not any better than his uncles as a person

Regardless of his uncles' actions, they had h food and a shelter to sleep in ever since they had found hirow and avenge them
