Chapter 7

"Shouldn't we let the imperial edict wait a moment... Is that appropriate?" Fang Zetao hesitated when he saw his daughter Fang Qingsnow's attitude towards the imperial edict.

"It's fine," Fang Qingsnow's expression remained unchanged. "I don't want to be involved much in the affairs of the secular world. Moreover, I prefer tranquility and dislike noise. Just leave the matter of the imperial edict to the family. I will stay at home for a few days in peace, and see which disciples in the family are worth cultivating, and give them some guidance. Father, you shouldn't be too obsessed with power. Cultivate more, and you might have a chance to break through to the Mystic Realm."

"Hmm." Fang Zetao nodded. "Originally, when the imperial edict arrived, we should have celebrated your appointment as a princess. But since you prefer tranquility, we'll handle it discreetly. Also, which servants do you need for your palace on Yuhua Immortal Mountain? I'll arrange some reliable and loyal ones for you."

"Alright." Fang Qingsnow closed her eyes slightly...

"This month, there has been no sign of Bai Haizan. Could it be that he took the Nine Apertures Golden Pill to heal his injuries and escaped?"

This daughter of heaven, the true disciple of the Yuhua Sect, one of the ten immortal sects, fell into deep thought.

As she was lost in thought, faint purple electrical threads and air currents appeared above her head, as if they were about to condense into immortal cranes, dragons, snakes, galloping horses, and other spiritual beings, indicating an extremely powerful realm within the Mystic Realm.

"Just a little more, and I can break through from the third level of the Mystic Realm, the Primordial Qi Realm, to the fourth level, the Yin-Yang Realm, where I can harmonize my own magical power and qi, making it spiritual. This realm is no small matter. Only when the qi has spirituality can one reach the fifth level, the Heaven-Man Realm. Using one's own mystic powers to communicate with the pulse of heaven and earth, and set up various great formations, the power is boundless. Currently, a few elders in the sect are at the Heaven-Man Realm. Unfortunately, this time, I obtained the Dragon-Buried Yellow Springs Map, which I could have refined and used its power to break through to the fifth level, the Heaven-Man Realm, and even trace back further to condense the Mystic Seed and form the Mystic Dharma Image. Unfortunately, it was all for naught..."

Checking her own magical power and mystic realm, Fang Qingsnow displayed an extremely profound understanding of the immortal path.

"Stepping on the Seven Stars!"

Another night, as the cold stars were shining, Fang Han was by the river, watching the stars' movements. His muscles surged, like a continuous chain of stars and a surging river. He took a step, "Stepping on the Seven Stars," and in seven swift steps, he darted forward, then kicked out!

"Kui Star Kicking the Dipper!"

A run, a kick, an explosion!

The leg strength tore through the air, producing a heart-wrenching sound that echoed far and wide, extremely sharp.

Bang!

A tree as thick as a bowl was kicked down with a crack!

Crack, crack, crack, crack...

Subsequently, Fang Han kicked out thirteen more times, and in an instant, his legs moved like sharp knives and axes, fiercely chopping down the surrounding trees, which all broke.

He kicked down fourteen trees in succession without breaking a sweat. He retracted his fist, and the sand under his feet was scooped up. His left hand drew a perfect circle, and his right hand drew a square. He stopped, rooted to the ground like a thousand-year-old pine tree, with its roots firmly embedded in the rock, immovable and resilient.

"Left hand draws a circle, right hand draws a square, combining hardness and softness. I didn't expect that in just three nights, I could master the techniques and enter the fourth level of hardness and softness! The Nine Apertures Golden Pill has indeed laid a solid foundation for me! It seems that breaking through to the fifth level of divine power is not far off!"

The medicinal power of the Nine Apertures Golden Pill flowed through his body with the blood, and the pain from kicking down the trees was immediately alleviated by the warm current.

Fang Han had laid a solid foundation through a month of intense training. Now, after three days of practice, he had mastered the techniques of the Seven Stars Fist, particularly the "Stepping on the Seven Stars" and "Kui Star Kicking the Dipper," refining them to perfection, making them highly lethal.

The Seven Stars Fist of the Seven Stars Sect has few techniques, but each one contains the trajectory of the stars and the subtleties of the physical structure. "Stepping on the Seven Stars" is a profound stepping technique, and "Kui Star Kicking the Dipper" is a fierce leg technique for killing enemies.

Fang Han mastered them all, reaching the fourth level of hardness and softness!

It would take the core disciples of the Fang family at least three to five years of daily hard practice to reach the hardness and softness level, and that would be considered fast. But Fang Han reached this level in just three months.

Feeling himself growing stronger day by day, Fang Han was satisfied and returned home to rest in the dark.

After sleeping for an hour, at the third watch of the night, Fang Han suddenly felt a commotion outside. Then his door was pounded loudly. He quickly rolled over and got up, opened the door, and found the chief steward of the horse stable.

"Steward, what's the matter? Why are you calling me at the third watch?"

"Quickly, quickly, quickly!" The chief steward said anxiously. "This morning, the second miss is going on a long journey. Take Qianli Snow and accompany the second miss."

"Going on a long journey, where to?" Fang Han was taken aback.

"Why so many questions? It's the master's business, and we servants just follow orders. Do you want to be whipped by the second miss again?" The chief steward scolded as he hurriedly walked away.

Fang Han didn't dare to delay and rushed out.

Although he had a great encounter, his cultivation was still shallow, and he had no strength to be anything but a servant. Moreover, he needed to rely on the Fang family's influence to enter the Yuhua Sect.

The legendary Ten Immortal Sects, the abode of immortals, were something he was very curious about.

Running to the stable, he led out Qianli Snow and then came to the main square of the Fang family's mansion.

The Fang family was the first family in Longyuan, and the square in front of the mansion was grand and imposing, with dozens of rows of stone lions, tigers, pixiu, and qilins guarding the entrance, making it majestic.

Standing on the square, people felt very small and a sense of awe arose spontaneously.

At this moment, many servants and guards were standing on the square. Several carriages were loaded with gold, silver, and jewels, and many fully armored, exquisitely dressed warriors and servants were also standing there.

These people, like stars surrounding the moon, escorted several main figures of the Fang family out of the gate.

Fang Han's eyes immediately fell on a woman in white, pure and ethereal, not of this world. When this woman stepped out, everyone else paled in comparison, and the world seemed to turn into a fairyland, filled with a transcendent aura.

All the people disappeared, leaving only this woman, whose aura was deeply etched in everyone's mind.

"Is she a fairy from the moon or a princess from the dragon palace?" Fang Han felt a chill, knowing that this was the eldest daughter of the Fang family, Fang Qingsnow, who was also a true disciple of the Yuhua Sect, a mystic realm cultivator, and the one who killed Bai Haizan.

Originally, he thought that the eldest daughter of the Fang family, who could kill Bai Haizan, would be overwhelmingly powerful, with a fierce and intimidating aura. But he never expected her to be so transcendent, clear, and ethereal, like a wisp of smoke.

From her appearance, Fang Qingsnow had none of the fierce aura of a powerful cultivator, but rather the ethereal grace of a beauty, like a fairy in poetry.

"Those who cultivate to the mystic realm have a certain aura. Master Bai Haizan was right."

Fang Han glanced at her, recalling Bai Haizan's words, and quickly lowered his head.

However, it seemed that Fang Qingsnow sensed something, and her divine eyes glanced over, sweeping past Fang Han from a distance.

"Qingwei, what is the name of the servant leading Qianli Snow?" After glancing at Fang Han, Fang Qingsnow收回目光，微微问身边的二小姐方清薇。

仅仅一眼，方寒就引起了方清雪的注意。

是福是祸？

"Qingwei, what is the name of the servant leading Qianli Snow?" After glancing at Fang Han, Fang Qingsnow收回目光，lightly asked the second miss, Fang Qingwei.

Just one glance, and Fang Han had caught Fang Qingsnow's attention.

Is it a blessing or a curse?
