Six-month timeskip.
During this period, Fang Lin and Fang Yu never slacked off. Instead of acclimating themselves with the environment of the sect, they chose to further strengthen themselves.
Fang Yu spent most of her time meditating and absorbing the mana essence into her body. She also refused to be given ‘massages’ by Xiao Ya. Fang Yu realized that it will be better for now to absorb the essence by herself. Xiao Ya’s massages were… distracting.
Xiao Ya of course sulked and refused to meet Fang Yu at the six-month period.
As for Fang Lin, he just holed up in his room every day. He just absorbed all the qi that he can through the environment and through the qi pills. Once his dantian was full, he will use all the abilities he had until his qi reserves were empty. Then he will start the process again.
This frenzied training of theirs continued for six months.
At the day before the sect expedition, Fang Yu felt a certain fullness in her body. NOT that kind of fullness, but the fullness brought by the mana occupying every single part of her body. Her mana had successfully entered her dantian too.
This means that Fang Yu was at the peak of the Mana Circulation Stage!
In order for Fang Yu to break through to the Mana Materialization Stage, she needed two things. She needs a mana catalyst that will make her mana go berserk and leave her body. The second one was a core magic spell. This spell will be embedded on her consciousness and will be her guide on the magic spells that she can use and the laws she can perceive in the future.
The higher the grade of the mana catalyst and the core magic spell is, the stronger Fang Yu will be at the Second Stage.
To get stronger at the Second Stage, Fang Yu must collect magic spells that is suitable with her core magic spell. This will increase her fighting capabilities. To reach the peak of the Second Stage, Fang Yu must be able to materialize all her mana and understand the laws in the magic core spell.
As for Fang Lin, he also succeeded on creating 10 Qi deposits. This signified that he is now at the Peak QI Condensation Stage!
In order for him to be at the Foundation Establishment, the first thing that he must do is to discover what his ‘dao’ is. This will then make him have the essence for his dao foundation. Then he must acquire two things.
First is the Foundation Establishment Script. This script has the glimpses of the ‘dao’ that Fang Lin seeks. This will help Fang Lin on realizing what his ‘dao’ is. Second, a Foundation Establishment pill. This will assist Fang Lin on consolidating his dao foundation. The higher the grade of these two things, the stronger Fang Lin will be at the Second Stage.
In order for Fang Lin to create more dao foundations, he must use Dao Revelation Scripture. This will give Fang Lin chance to improve ‘his’ dao, leading to more dao foundations.
The peak of the Foundation Establishment is reached when there are 9 foundations established.
Fang Lin and Fang Yu sighed at the same time as they succeeded. Now their goal is to reach the Second Stage. It will be difficult, given the monstrous amounts of resources that both of them will need. And they also need to breakthrough at the same time!
Fang Yu of course asked Xiao Ya is she can give Fang Yu a good core magic spell and mana catalyst. But Xiao Ya just shook her head as she said
“My little disciple, if you want to advance in strength, you must look for it by your own.”
“You are so stingy master!”
Xiao Ya of course ignored her disciple’s provocations.
Fang Yu just sighed as she realized that aside from Fang Lin, she must also join the sect expedition. She then shivered, clearly knowing that most of the sleazy male disciples will try to make some moves on her.
So she went to to Tang Ya. Tang Ya at this time, had her injuries all healed. Her cultivation base also advanced, bringing her to the peak of Qi Condensation. Just like Fang Lin, Tang Ya just needed resources in order to step on the Second Stage.
When Tang Ya saw Fang Yu, she awkwardly let out a smile. How could she not be awkward? This beautiful lady in front of her is just a half of the guy who had been pursuing her. And Tang Ya made that guy to be in the friendzone!
“Uh… what do you want Fang L- err, Fang Yu?”
Fang Yu clasped her hands with Tang Ya’s. Her dainty and fragrant fingers slowly caressed Tang Ya’s palms. Tang Ya flushed a little at the contact.
“Tang Ya, I am also your Dao Comrade right? Please let me accompany you throughout the sect expedition!”
“Oh.” Tang Ya then realized what Fang Yu had been worrying about. If it was her in Fang Yu’s shoes, she might get this scared too.
“Do not worry, you are always welcome in my place. I will protect you, just like how I will protect Fang Lin.”
“Thank you Tang Ya!” Fang Yu then hugged Tang Ya tightly. Her voluptuous body with all the right curves pressed against Tang Ya. Tang Ya could feel her full breasts squished against her own chest.
“Cough, cough.” Fang Yu heard Tang Ya’s complain so she stepped away. She then waved her hands while walking away.
“See you on the day of the expedition then!”
Once Fang Yu left, Tang Ya heaved a sigh of relief. She then mumbled to herself, “If Fang Yu is that seductive, I think I will have a hard time protecting her from our fellow disciples…..”
The day of the sect expedition.
Tang Ya, Fang Lin and Fang Yu were walking as a group. They were going towards the gates of the Immortal God Sect. It was there that all those who will join the sect expedition will convene.
Upon arriving there, everyone looked at them. Almost all the males had to stop drooling when they saw Tang Ya and Fang Yu.
If Fang Yu has an elegant and seductive beauty, then Tang Ya has the fierce and unyielding beauty.
Both of them were eye-candies for this expedition. But their expressions soured when they saw Fang Lin accompanying them. Fang Lin’s appearance right now cannot be considered ugly, but when put beside Tang Ya and Fang Yu, he seems like a toad eating a swan.
At these times, it was assured that some arrogant disciples will try to put Fang Lin down.
Moments later, and he arrived. A decent-looking disciple swaggered towards Fang Lin’s group. His arrogant expression showed no respect towards Fang Lin.
“Beautiful ladies.” The man did an exaggerated bow. Fang Yu and Tang Ya stopped themselves form facepalming. “I assure you two that you will be better of with me than with that trash!”
He then faced Fang Lin. But before he could issue a challenge with him, Tang Ya made her move first. She brandished her broadsword as she smashed it towards the man’s nether regions.
“Bang!”
Tang Ya’s broadsword effectively threw the man away. He continued to roll in the ground, only stopping when he hit a tree. He shouted in intense agony as he felt his manhood being damaged.
“Nooo!!!!!!!!!”
“Hmmph!” Tang Ya sheathed her broadsword on her back. “If any of you disturbs us, you will not only get that!”
The crowd seemed to understand her message as no one dared to approach them after that.
After 30 minutes of waiting, the Grand Elder of the Immortal God Sect, Li Daozi, suddenly appeared.
“Listen you all! Six months ago, an Outer Disciple of the Immortal God Sect accepted a One-Star Survival Rating mission. It was to help on the dragon attacks on the Solstice Kingdom in the Tian Ji Empire!” Li Daozi’s face then turned red in anger as he seemed to remember something bad.
“That disciple, on the first day he arrived at the Tian Ji Empire, managed to do wreak havoc! I cannot tell you now what he did, but it was really bad.”
Li Daozi then took a deep breath to calm himself down. “Because of that disciple’s actions, the sect itself was implicated and the Tian Ji Empire wants repayment. So, this expedition will be related to that.”
Li Daozi then waved his hands as scrolls flew towards the hands of the disciples present. Fang Lin then read what was mentioned in the scroll. His reaction after reading it was unfathomable.

Fang Lin sighed in relief upon seeing that his Master was not yet caught. Deep in his heart, he could only lament.
“What in the world did you do Master?”
