Zhao Hede was quite easy to get along with. He brought Fang Yuan along as they traveled on the main peak, enjoying the scenery around them.
The main peak was indeed different from other places.
The higher they went, the thicker the spiritual essence became.
Along the way, there were all sorts of wondrous sights that were extremely beautiful. They were all good places to live.
The two of them chatted as they walked.
“Junior, what cultivation technique are you cultivating?”
Fang Yuan told him the truth, “The nine-turns rod technique.”
“The nine-turns technique. It’s not easy to cultivate. How’s your progress?”
“I’ve just cultivated it to perfection not long ago.”
Zhao Hede raised his eyebrows when he heard that. He looked a little surprised. “Not bad. You’ve just entered the inner sect and you’ve already perfected it. This is much better than Wan Qian and Zhang Wenbin.”
“Senior, you’re flattering me. I only mastered it after consulting Senior Wan Qian.”
Fang Yuan answered humbly. The nine-turns technique could only be cultivated after one had advanced to the inner sect. He definitely wouldn’t sell Zhou Yin out.
Zhao Hede laughed. “You’ve only entered the inner sect for a short time. I thought that you’d be amazing if you could cultivate to the sixth level. I didn’t expect you to have perfected it completely. As expected of someone who caught Master’s eye. Your talent is indeed monstrous.”
“What about you, First Senior? What cultivation technique are you cultivating?”
“Me? I’m a body cultivator, not a spirit cultivator.”
It was Fang Yuan’s first time hearing the term body cultivator, so he couldn’t help but ask, “What is body cultivator?”
“How can I explain it to you…”
Zhao Hede Thought for a while and said, “You can think of it as a cultivator who doesn’t rely on spiritual essence. Take myself for example, if I attack, I will consume blood essence, which is much more powerful than using spiritual essence when combined with the relevant Gu worms and techniques.”
Fang Yuan nodded as if he understood, asking, “Since body cultivators are stronger than spirit cultivators, why haven’t I seen others cultivate their bodies like you, First Senior?”
“The requirements are too harsh.” Zhao Hede shook his head. “I cannot explain the details, I think Master is the only one in the entire Gu Immortal Sect whoknows the reason.”
“How strong is a body cultivator like you, Senior?”
Zhao Hede smiled. “If I use my full strength, even if I meet an opponent that is layers higher than me, I can kill them.”
Fang Yuan was shocked.
It was not easy to fight someone of a higher cultivation level, let alone kill them.
Even for him, he could only fight an opponent that was two layers higher.
And he could not guarantee that he could kill the other party, unless they were like those guardians in the Xu residence. They only had a cultivation base and an ordinary foundation.
If he met someone as talented and intelligent as Wan Qian, he could only reach a draw at most.
Fang Yuan sized Zhao Hede up again and suddenly realized that the realm he revealed was only the third or fourth layer of the Enlightenment Realm, and his aura was not very dense.
However, he faintly gave off an indescribable sense of oppression.
Zhao Hede’s true realm was definitely very high. It was definitely not as simple as it appeared to be.
He believed that if he were to spar with his first senior, he would probably not last more than three moves.
He did not know how body cultivators cultivated to actually give him such a feeling.
Zhao Hede looked at Fang Yuan’s somewhat incredulous gaze, and he could not help but smile and said, “Don’t treat me like a monster. Actually, the price to use my various abilities is quite high. Some of the more powerful ones can only be used at the cost of my life force. Normally, I can only fight two or three opponents of the same realm. Junior, you should be able to do it too.”
Only two or three opponents?
“I’m far from reaching that.”
Fang Yuan laughed bitterly. He knew that the opponents his first senior was talking about were at least the prodigies of large sects, the kind with tyrannical strength, and not the weak bandits like those on the Black Wind Mountain Village.
He weighed himself. If he met two first layer Enlightenment Realm Wan Qian, he was afraid that he would have no choice but to flee.
It seemed that he was not just a bit inferior to a real powerhouse.
Zhao Hede patted his shoulder and comforted him, “Don’t be discouraged. Master will definitely give you something to help you cultivate in a few days. One day, you will grow up and won’t be inferior to me.”
At this moment, a group of people walked toward them. They surrounded a handsome young man in a luxurious robe like stars surrounding the moon. He held a long-handled folding fan in his hand and looked very handsome.
“Senior Su, where are you going today?”
“I’m not going anywhere today, I’m going to walk around the mountain and get some fresh air.”
“Senior Su, do you still have enough goods? Do you want me to help you buy some more?”
“Sure, go ahead, just report to me later.”
“Senior Su, I heard that the Scarlet Flame Mystic Realm near Fanshu City opened recently, there are many Gu masters there, do you want to go take a look?”
“We will talk about it when the time comes, I plan to enter closed door cultivation again in the next few days.”
Zhao Hede took a look and could not help but laugh.
“Your second senior came out from his closed door cultivation to enjoy the scenery, let’s go over and see him.”
Before they could walk over, the handsome young man saw them from afar and immediately raised his hand to greet them.
“First Senior! Quickly come over and take a look at the good things I have obtained from my closed door cultivation.”
Zhao Hede brought Fang Yuan forward, and the others immediately cupped their hands and bowed.
However, when their gazes turned to Fang Yuan who was following behind, one of them cried out in surprise.
“Fang Yuan? Why are you here?”
“Hmm?”
Fang Yuan looked at the other party in puzzlement. He suddenly came to a realization and said with a chuckle, “Does Zhang Wenbin know that you’re acting like a dog for others?”
“You!”
That person widened his eyes and almost could not help but make a move.
“You two know each other?”
Zhao Hede was stunned for a moment, then he looked at that person with a deep gaze.
Judging from Fang Yuan’s tone, the relationship between the two of them did not seem to be that good.
“First Senior, this is…”
The handsome young man pointed the folding fan in his hand at Fang Yuan. He knew that every time Zhao Hede showed such an expression, it meant that he was going to investigate something deeper.
Zhao Hede replied casually, “Master’s new disciple.”
Fang Yuan cupped his hands. “Greetings, second senior.”
Only then did the handsome young man understand why Zhao Hede was so serious. He frowned and turned to look at his furious follower.
“You blind thing. This is my junior. Do you still want to make a move?”
“I don’t dare…”
The handsome young man snorted. “If you don’t dare, then get lost. You don’t have to appear in front of me anymore.”
That person’s expression froze. He glared hatefully at Fang Yuan, gritted his teeth, and left.
“Senior Su, then we…”
Everyone else present felt a little awkward.
The handsome youth waved his hand casually. “All of you go do your own things.”
“Yes.”
Zhao Hede only asked after the idlers left.
“Junior, you have a grudge against Zhang Wenbin?”
