Chapter 37: Chapter 36: Moonfire Thunder Flower
Dao Seed-level prodigies possessed the potential to ascend to the Saint Realm and could be considered reserve Saints.
In Fang Yang’s opinion, although Sen Yue and Qingkong were both Dao Seeds of the Changkong clan, Sen Yue was clearly a notch above Qingkong in terms of strength.
There was a gap even between Dao Seeds!
Under the twinkling stars, his brush moved without pause.
After the battle.
In the commander’s tent of the White Feathered Eagle tribe.
Fang Yang was hunched over his desk, writing a letter recounting what he had seen and heard, with particular praise for Sen Yue’s remarkable prowess.
This letter was destined for the Changkong clan’s territory.
And the person Fang Yang was writing to was none other than Sen Hui.
’My ideal path to Changsheng seems to have veered a bit off course.’
Fang Yang paused his brush, lost in thought as he waited for the ink to air-dry.
Initially, he had thought that even with his talent for seeking fortune and avoiding disaster, given the Fang Clan’s decline, he would have to fight his way to Sainthood every step of the way.
But ever since befriending Sen Hui, Sen Wei, and the other mbers of the Sen family, he seed to have embarked on a different path. It might still require battles and bloodshed, but it was clearly not going to be nearly as arduous.
Both paths had their pros and cons.
As things stood, he didn’t really have much of a choice. He could only go with the flow and use the montum to his advantage.
If he truly wanted to soar through the heavens like an eagle, unrestrained and free to roam the world, he still had a long road ahead of him.
The night wind grew stronger, making the tent flap and whistle.
The White Feathered Eagles began to fall into a deep sleep, but Fang Yang’s mind remained tranquil.
...
’Xiaohui has already beco a Tier Two Alchemy Master? It seems she’s been working extrely hard.’
’Fang Yang’s skills as an Alchemist Doctor are impressive, far surpassing his ability to command tribes in war? Heh, a daughter can’t be kept at ho forever, it seems...’
Purple Gold Hall.
Draped in a Purple Gold Daoist Robe, Sen Yue smiled faintly as he read the letter in his hand.
Once he understood the letter’s main points, he couldn’t help but smile and shake his head.
His sister Sen Hui’s congratulations on his subjugation of Qingkong were genuine, but so was her request for him to find a good position for Fang Yang.
Sen Yue saw through his sister’s intentions at a glance. She was simply afraid that Fang Yang would perish on the front lines.
’Governing a state is like treating an illness; it still cos down to the principle of a ruler and their subjects complenting each other. Fang Yang has managed the White Feathered Eagle tribe well. Perhaps... he could even serve as Wei’Er’s falcon...’
At this thought, Sen Yue secretly activated his Magic and began a divination.
Soon, a plan began to form in his mind.
’Fang Yang has managed the White Feathered Eagle tribe well, which shows he has a certain level of command ability.’
’Besides, Wei’Er isn’t even in the army right now. To prepare for the next Xuan-Yu War, it’s best to start placing her trusted confidants in key positions now.’
’From this perspective, Fang Yang, who is the sa age as her, is worth investing in and cultivating heavily.’
’If everything goes smoothly, Fang Yang will mature fully and be able to assist Wei’Er in her bid for supremacy during the Xuan-Yu War!’
Gradually, the strategy in Sen Yue’s mind beca increasingly refined.
He planned to first subjugate the other Dao Seeds of the Changkong clan, unifying its power. Then, he would find a clever pretext to hold a grand, army-wide competition for cultivators of all tiers.
If Fang Yang placed among the top ranks, he would bring him into the main command camp to participate in strategic discussions by his side.
He believed that through such direct exposure, Fang Yang would grow at a trendous rate!
’The only potential risk is that Fang Yang might turn on Wei’Er and break free from her control.’
For so reason, this thought occurred to Sen Yue.
But after a mont, he chuckled. ’How could that be possible?’
...
[Following the flow brings fortune; resisting it brings calamity. The path of change resides within the heart.]
[Mid-to-Upper Auspicious Lot: By leveraging power, you have taken command of the White Feathered Eagle tribe and obtained a Tier Three opportunity. There are no future troubles. Auspicious.]
After seeing off the Daoist acolyte from Star Fall Mountain, Fang Yang stared blankly at the Spiritual Object on his desk.
Inexplicably, he had managed to sweep the board, and without spending any real effort at all.
Most importantly, the reward was far beyond his expectations.
It was simply absurd!
Behind him, Lu Yao and Second Uncle Fang wore different expressions.
’Hiss... I never imagined His Lordship would be so highly regarded by Dao Seed Sen Yue. Could the rumors be true? Is he really going to beco Dao companions with Lady Sen Hui?’ Lu Yao was secretly astonished, feeling more certain than ever that pledging allegiance to Fang Yang had been the right choice.
’First, his luck materialized, and now he receives a Moonfire Thunder Flower. It’s a good thing that Ah Yang is so highly regarded by Dao Seed Sen Yue, but why do I feel this faint sense of unease...?’ Though Second Uncle Fang was happy for him, he also felt a pang of worry.
Second Uncle Fang was keenly aware that too much of a good thing could be dangerous.
He genuinely had Fang Yang’s best interests at heart and didn’t want to see him suffer any great peril.
A mont later, Second Uncle Fang dismissed Lu Yao, leaving only the two of them in the tent.
Only then did he speak in a low voice.
"I know your mind is filled with questions, but don’t dwell on them for now. Your strength is still insufficient. Even if you figured everything out, what could you do about it?
This Spiritual Object on the desk is called the Moonfire Thunder Flower. It’s a Tier Three Spiritual Object.
However, if you water it for thirty consecutive days, infusing it with your own aura, you can make it blossom and bear fruit.
At that point, it will ascend to beco a Tier Five Spiritual Object, even greater than the Thunderfire Spiritual Object our Ancestor Fang Nian acquired. That’s because it will contain a trace of stellar power!
The only catch is that the daily watering requires Ten Thousand Jins Heavy Water. In terms of Yuan Stones, each watering costs at least one hundred thousand. Even for a Silver Tribe, nurturing it would be an imnse financial strain."
There were so things Second Uncle Fang left unsaid.
For instance, the Moonfire Thunder Flower is highly coveted, and it’s very likely that demonic cultivators might try to seize it.
However, since it was a gift from Dao Seed Sen Yue, no well-known, top-tier Great Cultivator would dare to make a move.
And against anyone short of a top-tier Great Cultivator, Second Uncle Fang was confident he could protect Fang Yang!
Fang Yang replied thoughtfully, "If each watering costs one hundred thousand Yuan Stones, then I might as well refine and absorb it tonight."
"No, you must wait thirty days to refine it. We will handle the issue of the Ten Thousand Jins Heavy Water for you. But from now on, you’ll have to pay close attention to the way you interact with Sen Hui."
Second Uncle Fang said, his voice laced with aning.
The more ti he spent with Fang Yang, the more he felt the boy was blessed with great fortune.
The Moonfire Thunder Flower was a rare Spiritual Object, as was the Ten Thousand Jins Heavy Water.
rely possessing Yuan Stones was no guarantee that one could purchase a sufficient supply of Ten Thousand Jins Heavy Water.
It was quite a coincidence; if not for the recent upheaval at the Carp Eagle Blessed Land, the Fang Clan would never have had such an abundant reserve of Ten Thousand Jins Heavy Water.
"Get ready, Ah Yang. It’s ti for you to learn an offensive skill.
That way, you’ll have a chance to reach the Tier One Peak realm before the Moonfire Thunder Flower blossoms and bears fruit.
If everything goes smoothly, your Spirit Body is bound to transform again. Among your peers, you’ll be second only to Sen Wei and Sen Hui!
Thirty days... to advance from Tier One High-Grade to the Tier One Peak realm..."
Hearing this, Fang Yang felt a knot of pressure form in his chest.
Cultivating an offensive skill was no simple task.
His original plan had been to wait until he learned the Thunderous Strike Skill as his second Lifebound Skill before undertaking such training.
But at the sa ti, he was filled with motivation.
His Fire Eagle Spirit Body had already granted him a great deal of preferential treatnt.
And his Fire Eagle Spirit Body was rely a Grade B Spirit Body. If it transford again, wouldn’t it beco Grade A?
Even if it couldn’t beco a Grade A Spirit Body, as long as he could obtain a Thunder Carp Spirit Essence, he could follow Ancestor Fang Nian’s example and forge a Grade A Thunderfire Spirit Body, undergoing the Carp Eagle transformation!
The next ti Zhang Ye dared to provoke him, he could just shut him down with a single question: ’What kind of Spirit Body do you have? And what kind of Spirit Body do I have?’
