Chapter 332: Hindrance

"Although I have the evidence as a license to take over my new role, I better recuperate first...

"

The handing and taking over was officially endorsed by the Realm Alliance, the possibility of something going wrong was very small. Therefore, Fang Yuan decided to recuperate his strength first as power was the only way one could gain a footing in Da Qian Empire!

Inside the inn, Fang Yuan occupied his own room and courtyard. He sat on the floor cross-legged and absorbed elemental energy from the heavens and earth to recuperate his body.

In his actualised dream world, streaks of magical energy spread across and dug into the dark spots for an awesome energy, as they then turned into a mercury-like dream elemental force. The dream elemental began to restore the 3 swords in the 8 Gates Sword Array.

"After the 3 swords self-detonated, it required a huge amount of dream elemental force as a foundation for its restoration. Luckily, I no longer have the difficulting of gathering dream elemental energy unlike previous times, if not I would have vomited blood...

"

Fang Yuan looked at the green energy in the core of the 8 Gates Sword Array and shook his head.

Although he could immediately recover if he utilised this source, that was a reserve for him to breakthrough to the 4th Tier of Illusionary Divine. It could not be easily used.

Unless he was met with a critical life and death situation, it could not be used, else it would be a reckless waste.

His eyes twinkled and he then looked at his stats board:

"Name: Fang Yuan

Essence: 20 (42)

Spirit: 20 (42)

Magic: 33 (59)

Profession: Dream Soldier Master

Cultivation: Illusionary Divine (3rd Tier), Wu Zong (4th Meridian)

Technique: Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique (Grade 5) (50%), Hundred Poison Golden Body (1st Refining), 8 Gates Sword Array (4th Sword) (99%)

Skill: Medicine (Level 3), Botany (Level 5)

"

"My stats have dropped really hard due to my injuries, but a portion of it has already been recovered. It will now be faster for me to fully recover. Furthermore... the training these few days and the void's turbulence seemed to improve my Giant Eagle Metal Body Technique...

"

For his injuries to recover so quickly, perhaps his fixed stats played a part too.

Fang Yuan spiritual will moved as he knew that there was a huge potential in his stats.

He did not care about that for now and looked at the water dragon's pearl.

The resources he dealt with the Realm Alliance previously were actually nothing much. This was the real gains!

"Furthermore... although Yellow Grain Rice is difficult to grow, that might not be the case for me!

"

Fang Yuan started from botany in the past, although it was not very useful in Da Qian since he had his own spiritual land now, he could further improve himself!

Also, what was so special about that item the Golden Horned Wing Tribe member was protecting with its life?

"

Fang Yuan gazed into the water dragon pearl.

Although the pearl was an essence of its dragon form, Fang Yuan felt he could not fully control the pearl at that moment.

Inside the pearl, the golden-green water dragon was squeezed to a side. The foggy grey glow occupied most of the space.

"What exactly is the treasure left behind by Sage Changli? A technique? An inheritance? A treasure map?

"

Through contacting the water dragon within, Fang Yuan could sense that there was a vast sea of knowledge. However, he could not have a share of it currently.

"With my current spiritual will and cultivation, I would be crazy to read the Prominent Divine dream master's knowledge memory! Furthermore, I could even be encroached and become schizophrenic...

"

It was not overboard to value and regard a Prominent Divine dream master so highly.

However, leaving such a delicious piece of meat untouched was not Fang Yuan's style too.

Fang Yuan thought,

"Thankfully, this Sage Changli was close to dragons and his knowledge was attracted to my water dragon pearl. I can use the energy of the water dragon inside to absorb a bit of the knowledge every day. With this layer of protection, I will start from the outside and slowly dive deeper... This is equivalent to having a teacher teaching me daily...

"

Fang Yuan's path as a dream master mostly relied on self-study. With this rare collection, he was elated as he could improve his shortcomings.

...

Three Suns Sect.

"Smack!

"

A masculine looking youth with thick eyebrows and white clothes threw the valuable treasures onto the floor and sneered,

"You think you can enter my sect just with your pathetic background? Dream on!

"

Opposite him, He Qing's face swelled with anger, he was infuriated and clenched his teeth.

This youth was the eldest disciple of the Sect Head and was an Elemental Opening spiritual knight! He Qing's current position and standing was no match for him.

Furthermore, He Qing could see there was a hint of jealousy hidden deep inside this youth's eye.

"As he is a spiritual knight, he cannot succeed the legacy of the head of Three Suns Sect. Thus, he is being a hindrance and a prick to me since I came over to be apprenticed... detestable!

" He Qing thought.

Although He Qing was furious, he remained silent and did not utter a single word. He bowed to him and left.

"What a pity... if he provokes me again, I'll make sure I'll give him an unforgettable surprise!

"

As the youth watched He Qing left, he felt sullen.

Although he was talented, he could not become a dream master and therefore, he could not succeed his master's legacy.

As he saw someone who was qualified to do so came over, he naturally felt unhappy and intentionally hindered He Qing.

"After all... I am Master's nephew by blood, even if I go overboard once in a while, it's nothing much... Although this He Qing is intelligent, his foundation is not strong enough. This is also my way of testing him on behalf of Master.

"

As the youth mumbled to himself and gazed into the darkness, he justified himself in his thoughts.

In a quiet room deep within Three Suns Sect.

A screen of light appeared in front of a daoist which displayed whatever was happening.

The daoist had red cheeks and three long strands of beard which swayed with the wind. He was closely observing whatever was happening outside and whatever was inside his nephew's mind.

"Legacy... hehe, dream masters live a long life and it's not something you can understand! Perhaps I might even be the one that attends your funeral!

"

For dream masters, whether they were accepting disciples or whatever this nephew of his was struggling about were merely inconsequential matters to them.

This was their feeling as they sat high above them and watched these nobodies fought.

Despite so, the daoist felt slightly unhappy.

Just because the eldest disciple was the master's nephew, he tended to go overboard in handling matters...

...

"Young Master, what should we do next?

" Consultant He asked worriedly as the He family walked out the Three Suns Sect.

Dream masters were secretive and did not meet people easily, they would barely communicate with commoners. The Three Sun Sect was a contact that the He family arduously obtained.

However, due to the hindrance from one of their disciples, they could not even meet Three Suns Daoist. Thus, they were naturally perturbed.

"What else can we do? We just have to slowly wait for another opportunity! That youth is just one man, Three Suns Sect is not a one-man show! Once I can meet the head of the sect, I still stand a chance!

"

He Qing gave a mirthless smile.

He did not think of looking for other masters.

Dream masters were not so easily found and they did not accept disciples so easily. Even if He Qing could not enter a sect, there were still many things he could do due to his talents.

The group of them despondently returned to their manor in Golden Sun City.

"Young Master!

"

Little Ju was waiting at the gates and excitedly went forward when she saw them arriving. However, just as she saw about to speak, she saw the group's sullen faces and decided not to say anything.

"What's the matter?

" He Qing composed himself and asked.

"It is about Fang Yuan! He settled down at Green Cloud Inn and wrote us a letter!

"

"It's him?!

"

Although He Qing was in a bad mood, he was slightly moved at once,

"Ok, prepare some gifts and I will go meet him! Two brains are better than one, maybe he will have some ideas!

"

Although He Qing thought Fang Yuan was a spiritual knight but was not certain of his cultivation, he knew Fang Yuan could open some doors for him.

Furthermore, Fang Yuan was wise and experienced, perhaps he could give him some other opinions?

...

In a courtyard inside Green Cloud Inn.

A lush fig tree stood tall inside the courtyard.

Fang Yuan wore linen clothes and was enjoying his tea happily under the tree.

"Lord, you are indeed relaxed, I am so envious!

"

With the aroma of the tea, He Qing's previous vexation, fear and numerous negative feelings were dispelled at once.

He was even more respectful towards Fang Yuan now and called him Lord.

"It's nothing much...

"

Fang Yuan sipped his teeth and smiled.

As a dream master, one had to pay attention to his own soul and self-cultivation. Dabbling in literature, wine, tea and such were ways to purify one's own thoughts.

Meditative tea ceremonies had the same effect too.

Furthermore, that was his own method of training himself. Compared to other dream masters' ways, that was more appropriate for himself.

"Just that….. this person in front of me is a commoner, I don't have to give him the Questioning Heart Tea...

" Fang Yuan thought as he raised his teacup.

In Da Qian Empire, spiritual items that could increase magical energy were very rare. Although Fang Yuan was not afraid to reveal, it would be troublesome for him to suddenly reveal his identity.

"Of course... just the Questioning Heart Tea alone would not be very useful. It must be accompanied by a meditative tea ceremony to maximise its effects!

" Fang Yuan thought.

As numerous thoughts flashed passed Fang Yuan's mind, he smiled and asked,

"Things didn't go successfully at Three Suns Sect?

"

"Indeed... although my family had paved the way for me, we were hindered by their master's eldest disciple, Yang Zhantang!

"

He Qing sighed as he recounted the unlucky events that happened just now.

"Although I will not interfere with your personal matters since we are fated, I shall help you persuade them!

"

Fang Yuan had his own way of settling things.

Spiritual items could not be easily gifted away, however, relaying a message for others was different as it only required him to be thick-skinned. Furthermore, it could help him familiarise with the strength of the dream masters in Cloud Region.

"Ah! Thank you very much, mister!

"

He Qing was extremely grateful and bowed to Fang Yuan.

"It's okay, it's just fate...

"

Fang Yuan closed his eyes and his magic-splitting arrived in the Realm Alliance Mountain in his actualised dream world.

"Searching for... Three Suns Daoist!

"

"Ting! He is a member of our alliance. He is a 3rd Leaf Cultivator, you are able to contact him!

"

A response was received on the stone tablet immediately.

"Three Suns Daoist?

"

"Yea, you are?

"

Using his identity inscription plate, a spiritual will immediately responded.

"My name is Fang Yuan. After a recommendation from Elder Smelter, I am the new guardian of Golden Sun Prosperous Land!

"

Fang Yuan did not hesitate to make use of Elder Smelter's name. After all, these were some of the benefits of joining the alliance.

"Oh so its Fang Yuan, we will be close neighbours!

"

The spiritual will felt more intimate at once.

"Ah, it's just that, I have a matter...

"

Fang Yuan told him everything. After a brief pause, he responded,

"Since it's a recommendation from my fellow alliance friend, I will meet him!

"

"Great!

"

Inside the Inn, Fang Yuan waved his hands and told He Qing,

"Settled! If you request to meet him again, your wish will be fulfilled!

"
