Chapter 53 - Second Senior
n
n
nFacing his two seniors, Fang Yuan did not hide anything, directly narrating the story.
n
"It seems that he was jealous and started the trouble first. Sigh, Junior, you shouldn't have agreed to it.
"
nZhao Hede was more concerned about Fang Yuan's safety. Gu Zhenren had passed this junior to him. After hearing about this matter, he could not sit idly by.
n
"There's no harm in agreeing.
"
nThe handsome youth interjected,
"Junior, do you want me to stand up for you? I guarantee that Zhang Wenbin won't even dare to say a word in front of me.
"
nFang Yuan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
"Seniors, there's no need to worry. There's still a month's time. I believe that under Master's guidance, it won't be difficult to defeat him.
"
n
"That's true.
"
nZhao Hede nodded in agreement.
"After master finds out about this, he will definitely lend you a hand.
"
nWith that said, both of them felt much more at ease and began to travel around the main peak together.
nWhile chatting, Fang Yuan found out that his second senior's name was Su Can, and he wasn't a proper spirit cultivator either. He mainly cultivated talisman techniques and medicinal pills.
nAlthough he had to rely on Gu worms, his realm was not very high, just like First Senior's.
nHowever, as a disciple of Gu Zhenren, he naturally had his own quirks.
nAfter a conversation, he learnt many things that he had never heard of before.
nSecond Senior held a stack of dark yellow talisman paper and took out the first one. On it, there were symbols that others could not understand.
n
"This talisman is called Heaven Suppression. I created it two years ago. After activating it, it can seal the spiritual essence of any cultivator below the eighth layer of the Fusion Realm. However, you have to be careful not to seal yourself. This takes effect in a limited area. It does not differentiate between friend and foe.
"
nThen came the second one.
n
"This talisman is called Boundless Swords. As its name implies, after activating it with spiritual essence, it can trigger a rain of countless swords to slash the enemy. It is very suitable for a battle with many people.
"
nThen there was the third talisman.
n
"This talisman is called the Sun Breaker. How about it? Doesn't it sound domineering? Let me tell you, its effects are even more domineering. It can magnify the spiritual essence you inject into it by ten times, greatly increasing its lethality.
"
nFang Yuan nodded repeatedly as he listened.
"This is amazing.
"
n
"I like to study these things. There are also so-called functional pills...
"
nZhao Hede tilted his head and glanced at him. His eyes were full of vicissitudes.
"Sigh, just don't help him test the medicine.
"
n
"First Senior, I'm not happy to hear you say that. Why would I harm my fellow disciples?
"
nSu Can was instantly unhappy. His medicine had to pass through a sufficiently strong person to determine the range of its effects. What if he scared his junior away.
n
"Hahah, hahahahaha...
"
nZhao Hede's smile was very cold.
nOnly when the sun had set and the three of them had almost finished touring the main peak did they stop.
n
"How is it? Junior, there are so many beautiful scenic spots on the main peak. Where do you want to live?
" Zhao Hede asked.
nFang Yuan slowly shook his head.
"There's no rush. I don't think I'll have time to move things over in the next two days. I'll have to leave the sect again in the near future.
"
n
"Is it convenient to tell us where you're going?
"
n
"The Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm?
"
n
"Oh?
"
nSu Can was suspicious,
"Is it the relic left behind by the fire attribute tribulation transcending expert near Fanshu City?
"
n
"Yes, it's that one.
"
nZhao Hede frowned, his gaze focused, and his pupils flashed with a bright light. Fang Yuan immediately felt as if he was seen through.
nThen he heard Zhao Hede ask,
"Junior, you are only at the first layer of the Enlightenment Realm, why are you going there to join in the fun?
"
n
"I am just looking for the Sunlight Gu in the outer area, I do not plan to go deep.
"
n
"This matter needs to be discussed with master.
"
nZhao Hede shook his head.
"The restrictions set up by the tribulation transcending expert are beyond your imagination, not to mention that the Mystic Realm is abnormally rich in spiritual essence. The Gu worms there are much stronger than those in the outside world. With your strength, you might not be able to deal with them even if you just wander around the outer area.
"
nSu Can also agreed.
"Junior, although you are also master's disciple, as a senior, I still have to say something. The Enlightenment Realm is only the first step on the path of cultivation, you have to think carefully.
"
nJust like what Su Can said, the Enlightenment Realm was the true beginning for a Gu master.
nThe previous Body Refinement and Foundation Establishment were only to lay a foundation for the future.
nAfter Fang Yuan advanced, he could clearly feel that his Gu worms' cultivation progress was growing very slowly.
nEven though his efficiency had increased, in these few days, his progress had not even reached 10%.
nThis meant that the further he advanced his realm, the harder it would be to advance.
nIn contrast, the suppression brought by the difference in realm was even more obvious.
nIt would become more and more difficult to cross realms and fight enemies later on.
nBeing at the first layer of the Enlightenment Realm, he had just reached the threshold to enter the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm.
nThe primeval Gu worms inside were extremely powerful after absorbing the spiritual essence left behind by the tribulation transcending expert for many years.
nThis was also the reason why the two seniors advised him.
n
"I understand what you said, seniors.
"
nFang Yuan laughed bitterly.
"Actually, perhaps this is Master's order.
"
nHearing this, both of them showed puzzled expressions.
n
"How is that possible, our Gu Immortal Sect has sent people to the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm before. The younger generation's inner sect disciples have all died, why would master send you to your death?
"
nFang Yuan told them about Wan Qian cold poison entering his body and the sect asking him to help.
nThe two seniors understood and did not try to persuade him.
n
"This should be because master wants to use this opportunity to train you, but he definitely does not mean now.
"
nZhao Hede thought for a moment and said,
"Master will personally guide you in the next few days. When your cultivation improves, you might be able to deal with the Gu worms in the outer area.
"
nFang Yuan nodded.
"That's the only way.
"
n
"What's there to be afraid of? You still have your second senior here.
"
nSu Can patted his chest and took out the talismans from before. He stuffed them together with a few bottles of pills into Fang Yuan's hands.
"Come, take them all. You might need them.
"
n
"This...
"
n
"Don't be shy. We are fellow disciples, and we're under the same master. Why shouldn't we share?
"
nFang Yuan was touched and said sincerely,
"Thank you, Second Senior.
"
n
"I think there's still something missing.
"
nSu Can thought for a while and took out a talisman from his pocket. He looked at it and finally showed a trace of reluctance. However, after hesitating for a moment, he handed it to Fang Yuan happily.
n
"Come, Junior, take this too.
"
n
"This is?
"
nZhao Hede laughed,
"This talisman is called Divine Escape. It can travel through space and it is your second senior's treasure. I didn't expect him to give it to you today.
"
nFang Yuan was about to say something, but Su Can held his shoulder.
nHe waved his hand indifferently,
"As long as I'm still alive, I'll have a chance to make another of this talisman. It's nothing compared to Junior's safety, but you still have to be careful.
"
n
"Although this Divine Escape talisman is powerful, due to its quality, it can only let you escape a certain distance. Moreover, it will consume a large amount of spiritual essence. Don't use it unless you have no other choice.
"
n
"I understand.
"
