Chapter 53

The cold wind blew, and the scattered clouds swirled!

On the back of the giant eagle, besides the two women, Yinyin and Yinchun, who still stood proudly, there was now an additional white pavilion.

The pavilion was only ten feet in diameter, but it was exquisitely crafted.

A faint white light flickered, and the hundreds of phoenixes carved on the pavilion seemed to come to life.

"Big Sister, if you do this, when the Divine Consort recovers her cultivation, won't she blame us?" Yinchun looked ahead, her red lips slightly curled, and said with concern.

Yinyin smiled faintly and said, "Silly little sister, to the Divine Consort, that young man is just a passerby in her long life."

"Such a passerby is better off being cut off early!"

"Moreover, after the Divine Consort recovers her cultivation, it's unlikely she will bring up this matter. That young man, with the passage of time, will ultimately turn into a handful of dust."

"That is his fate!"

Yinchun, hearing Yinyin's words, felt a bit uncomfortable. She said stubbornly, "There are many people in this world who defy heaven and change their fate. Perhaps that young man can also achieve it through cultivation..."

"That young man has average talent, and the possibility of him laying the foundation is very small. Even if I don't send the message to the Nine Lotus Sect, he will most likely end up as dust." Yinyin smiled lightly and said softly.

Although Yinchun didn't like her sister's words, she had to admit that they made sense.

The future was boundless and endless. Looking at the vast void, she couldn't help but think of the young man's face, which was smiling but more determined, when he left.

She might never see this young man again in her life.

The path to immortality is severed, and in a few decades, he will be nothing but a handful of dust!

...

In the Fang family courtyard of Dingfang City, Fang Ling sat in the largest chair in the inner room, silently watching the geese flying in the clear sky.

People only think of cherishing something after they lose it!

Hua Shuying had been gone for over ten days, but her image still filled his mind.

Zhenhuan Palace, Divine Consort!

He didn't know what these five words represented, but he knew it was a power he couldn't resist.

On that day at the Fang family gate, Hua Shuying, holding a talisman, had a somewhat strange expression. However, Fang Ling was sure that Hua Shuying was still conscious at that time.

Moreover, Hua Shuying had left voluntarily with the two women.

Besides, he couldn't have stopped them at that time.

Taking out a letter from his storage bag, Fang Ling quietly read it.

The letter was not long, written by the master's mother to the master. Most of the content was encouraging the master to live well and not to think about her.

However, the last paragraph of the letter made Fang Ling ponder.

"Going to Wangwu Cave Heaven, I hope everything goes smoothly. When I return in twenty years, perhaps Ling'er's child..."

"Wangwu Cave Heaven." Fang Ling repeated these two words, thinking quietly.

In the master's memory, there was no recollection of Wangwu Cave Heaven. However, this Wangwu Cave Heaven made him feel vaguely connected to Wangwu Mountain.

Unfortunately, he didn't know where Wangwu Cave Heaven was, nor did he understand why Hua Shuying had gone there...

"Master, the manager of Zhenbao Pavilion, Li Mingli, requests an audience." The thin monkey respectfully came to Fang Ling's side and said softly.

At this moment, the thin monkey rarely called Fang Ling "young master." Like most people in Dingfang City, he called Fang Ling "Master."

Fang Ling put the letter back into his storage bag and said calmly, "Please bring Manager Li in."

Hearing the order, the thin monkey quickly walked out of the courtyard gate. Outside the courtyard, Li Mingli, the chief manager of Zhenbao Pavilion, was waiting respectfully.

"Chief Manager, does Master Fang have time?" Li Mingli asked, a bit urgently.

The thin monkey smiled and said, "Master invites Manager Li in."

Li Mingli's face immediately brightened, and he suddenly held out a small jade bottle. "Chief Manager, I see you have reached the fourth level of Qi Cultivation. This bottle of leopard essence pills is just right for you..."

The thin monkey waved his hand, his face serious. "Manager Li, please see Master first, don't keep him waiting."

Li Mingli, seeing that the thin monkey didn't accept the gift, didn't insist. He smiled lightly and walked into the courtyard.

The thin monkey didn't follow in. He turned and walked in another direction, a satisfied smile on his face.

In the past, not to mention Li Mingli, even the Zhenbao Pavilion's enforcers didn't take him, the thin monkey, seriously. But now, Li Mingli had to flatter him and give him gifts.

All of this made him deeply satisfied, and it was all due to the Fang family's elevated status in Dingfang City.

Following the legendary battle, the entire Dingfang City was spreading the news that the Fang family's young lady, Hua Shuying, had connections with top-tier immortals. Even the Golden Core Real People now dared not provoke the Fang family, and Chen Shengbei from the Chen family had been utterly defeated.

In just over ten days, the once-powerful Chen family was rarely mentioned, but the people visiting Fang Ling had become endless.

These big shots in Dingfang City always treated him with great kindness, as if they had a good relationship with him.

The reason for their behavior was naturally his position as the Fang family's chief manager.

In the courtyard, when Li Mingli entered, Fang Ling stood up from his seat, and Li Mingli respectfully bowed to him. "Li Mingli of Zhenbao Pavilion greets Master Fang."

"Manager Li, no need for formalities, please sit." Fang Ling pointed to a stone bench nearby.

Li Mingli smiled and said, "In front of Master Fang, where is there a place for me to sit?"

On the surface, Li Mingli smiled warmly, but in his heart, he was extremely uneasy. His behavior was partly due to fear of Fang Ling and partly due to messages from Zhenbao Pavilion's headquarters.

"Whatever happens, do not offend Fang Ling!"

Thinking of the message from headquarters, Li Mingli felt a bit uncomfortable in his stomach. He was a ninth-level Qi Cultivator and had the backing of Zhenbao Pavilion, so even Chen Shengbei couldn't do much to him.

Now, headquarters had given him this instruction, and he dared not disobey, though he felt very uncomfortable.

However, his discomfort could only be buried deep in his heart. Being skilled in human relations, he dared not show any defiance to Fang Ling.

After all, there were too many people who wanted to be the chief manager of Zhenbao Pavilion.

"Master Fang, this time, when the Fang family is being rebuilt, Elder Liu of Zhenbao Pavilion originally intended to come to congratulate you personally, but due to some arrangements, he couldn't make it. He specially asked me to present ten Yuanpo Pills, please accept them, Master Fang!"

Fang Ling had a good understanding of the Yuanpo Pills from the alchemy book of Xuan Yue Daoist. He knew that the Yuanpo Pills were the best medicine for the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, and even Xuan Yue Daoist had never refined them due to the precious materials required.

One Yuanpo Pill was worth at least ten thousand taels of gold.

Zhenbao Pavilion sending ten pills was equivalent to sending over a million taels of gold.

What a generous gesture!

Fang Ling smiled lightly and said, "Elder Liu is truly thoughtful. Please convey Fang Ling's gratitude to Elder Liu."

"Master Fang's words, I will certainly convey to Elder Liu." Li Mingli smiled and started chatting with Fang Ling.

As the chief manager of Zhenbao Pavilion, Li Mingli was well-versed and knowledgeable. Although it was their first meeting, Fang Ling still felt he benefited a lot from their conversation.

"Manager Li, have you heard of Wangwu Cave Heaven?" Fang Ling asked softly as Li Mingli was about to take his leave.

Li Mingli was taken aback and then shook his head. "I disappoint Master Fang, but I have never heard of Wangwu Cave Heaven. However, I have heard some legends that some large relics from ancient times were called 'Cave Heavens.'"

"However, we ordinary people have never heard of a single Cave Heaven."

Fang Ling smiled and said, "I just heard someone mention it casually. I didn't expect it to be from ancient times."

Li Mingli smiled, though he was a bit skeptical of Fang Ling's words, he didn't dare to question him further.

After Li Mingli left, Fang Ling's fingers slowly tapped on the table. Wangwu Cave Heaven seemed to be a very secret place. Since he couldn't find any clues, he would think about it later.

...

Inside the Jingyang Ridge Dust Map, Fang Ling sat cross-legged under the strange tree, and a surge of spiritual energy flowed into his body like a tide.

"Whoosh"

A blood-red aura began to gather behind Fang Ling, but as soon as it formed, it suddenly shattered.

Fang Ling, with his eyes closed, seemed to sense the collapse of the aura. He opened his mouth wide and immediately sucked the gas into his stomach.

Fang Ling's body suddenly grew a foot taller.

He hovered in the air!

After an unknown amount of time, Fang Ling opened his eyes, and two cold, electric-like rays gave a sharp feeling.

However, at this moment, Fang Ling's face showed a hint of disappointment.

His ninth attempt to break through to the seventh level of Qi Cultivation had failed.

Relying on ten Yuanpo Pills and some spiritual medicines obtained from the Jingyang Ridge Dust, Fang Ling had reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi Cultivation in just half a month.

At the peak of the sixth level of Qi Cultivation, breaking through to the seventh level was a significant hurdle.

Many people naturally crossed this hurdle, directly converting their internal energy into spiritual energy.

However, Fang Ling had forcefully attempted to break through nine times with the help of medicines, and each time he failed.

In the early attempts, his internal energy had slightly improved, but now, his internal energy had not increased at all.

Relying on his talent, it seemed he had no hope of breaking through the seventh level of Qi Cultivation.

Sighing, Fang Ling began to quietly ponder the formula for the Nine-Transcendence Dao Pill.

To enter the seventh level of Qi Cultivation, he could only rely on the Nine-Transcendence Dao Pill!
